[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a display screen flipping and pushing mechanism, a hidden display screen and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, large-screen cars have become a common component in automobiles, providing people with functions such as navigation, music listening, vehicle information display, and voice interaction.

[0003] Conventional hidden car displays are concealed within the dashboard. They extend out of the dashboard through translation and rotation, allowing them to rotate to a viewing angle suitable for viewing. These displays typically utilize two motors: one motor drives a slide rail, moving the screen from inside the dashboard to outside. A motor underneath the screen then rotates the screen.

[0004] Since two motors are used to control the translation and rotation of the screen respectively, the number of motors is large, the cost is high, and the parts maintenance frequency is high; the motor that controls the rotation is arranged under the screen, and when the screen moves out of the dashboard, it moves with the screen. During the movement, the wiring harness moves synchronously with the motor. Frequent use poses the risk of wiring harness breakage. Summary of the Invention

[0036] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] First, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a display screen flipping and pushing mechanism, including a telescopic member 1 and a connecting rod 2. Through the extension and retraction of the telescopic member 1, the display screen 3 can be moved in the telescopic direction, and through the cooperation of the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2, the display screen 3 can be flipped after moving a set distance, thereby completing the continuous action of moving and flipping the display screen.

[0039] Specifically, one end of the telescopic member 1 is used to be arranged in the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4, and the other end is used to be rotatably connected to the display screen 3 to push the above-mentioned display screen 3 to move in and out of the above-mentioned accommodating cavity; one end of the connecting rod 2 is used to be slidably arranged in the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4, and can slide a set distance along the moving direction of the above-mentioned display screen 3, and the other end is used to be rotatably connected to the above-mentioned display screen 3. When the above-mentioned telescopic member 1 extends, driving the above-mentioned connecting rod 2 to move a set distance and then continue to extend, the above-mentioned display screen 3 is flipped.

[0040] It should be noted that the connection point of the telescopic member 1 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 is spaced apart from the connection point of the connecting rod 2 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 and is not located on the same straight line, so that the two rotational connection points of the display screen 3 are at different heights and form an angle with respect to the direction of movement. Furthermore, the telescopic member 1 has a retractable length greater than the set sliding distance of the connecting rod 2.

[0041] It can be understood that the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2 are both rotatably connected to the display screen 3 at one end. When the telescopic member 1 extends out of the accommodating cavity, the connecting rod 2 is also driven to slide out of the accommodating cavity until the connecting rod 2 slides a set distance. At this time, the connecting rod 2 no longer moves in the direction of movement of the display screen 3, and the telescopic member 1 continues to extend. Because the connection point of the telescopic member 1 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 is spaced apart from the connection point of the connecting rod 2 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 and is not located on the same straight line, the two rotation axes of the display screen are at different heights. Therefore, the display screen 3 begins to rotate around the rotation connection point with the telescopic member 1 until it rotates to the set angle for viewing by the driver and passengers.

[0042] Optionally, the telescopic member 1 is a hydraulic rod, the output end of the hydraulic rod is used to be rotatably connected to the display screen 3, and the fixed end of the hydraulic rod is used to be set in the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4. Through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod, the display screen 3 can be moved out of the accommodating cavity and flipped.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic member 1 includes a fixed guide rail 11, a sliding rod 12 and a driving member 13, the fixed guide rail 11 is used to be installed in the accommodating cavity of the above-mentioned instrument panel assembly 4; one end of the sliding rod 12 is slidingly connected to the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11, and the other end is used to be rotatably connected to the display screen 3; the output end of the driving member 13 is connected to the above-mentioned sliding rod 12, and is used to drive the above-mentioned sliding rod 12 to move relative to the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11.

[0044] It can be understood that both the connecting rod 2 and the sliding rod 12 can move along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11. When the driving member 13 drives the sliding rod 12 to move along the fixed guide rail 11, it also drives the connecting rod 2 to slide synchronously along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11 until the connecting rod 2 moves a set distance and no longer displaces with the fixed guide rail 11 in its length direction, and the sliding rod 12 continues to move along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11, thereby driving the display screen 3 to start flipping.

[0045] Specific as Figure 5 Force analysis shows that, under the action of driver 13, sliding rod 12 exerts force F1 in the direction of movement toward display screen 3. When connecting rod 2 ceases to displace in this direction, F1 transforms into a first force component F1-2 along the line connecting the two rotational connection points of connecting rod 2 and sliding rod 12 on display screen 3, and into a force component F1-1 perpendicular to this first force component. Simultaneously, first force component F1-2 (F2) and the tensile force F3 of connecting rod 2 transform into a flipping force F4 on display screen 3, thereby causing display screen 3 to flip.

[0046] The final flip angle of the display screen 3 can be set according to design requirements by controlling the displacement length of the sliding rod 12 relative to the fixed guide rail 11. For example, the farther the sliding rod 12 slides relative to the connecting rod 2, the smaller the angle between the display screen 3 and the horizontal direction.

[0047] It can be seen that, through one driving member 13, the display screen 3 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the fixed guide rail 11 and can be rotated relative to the longitudinal direction of the fixed guide rail 11. Compared with the prior art in which two driving members are used to control the displacement and rotation of the display screen respectively, it not only saves installation space, but also reduces costs and facilitates control.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the connecting rod 2 is slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 11 and can rotate relative to the fixed guide rail 11 .

[0049] It can be understood that after the connecting rod 2 moves a set distance, it no longer displaces in the length direction with the fixed guide rail 11, and the sliding rod 12 continues to move along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11. At this time, the connecting rod 2 rotates relative to the fixed guide rail 11 and the sliding rod 12 with the rotation connection point with the fixed guide rail 11 as the axis, thereby driving the display screen 3 to flip.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a sliding hole 111 is opened on the fixed guide rail 11 along the length direction, the sliding rod 12 is slidingly connected to the fixed guide rail 11 through the middle rod 14, the connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the middle rod 14 through the rotating shaft 21, and the rotating shaft 21 can slide in the sliding hole 111, and the length of the sliding hole 111 is the same as the set distance.

[0051] It can be understood that when the driving member 13 drives the sliding rod 12 to move out of the accommodating cavity, the sliding rod 12, the connecting rod 2 and the middle rod 14 move together relative to the fixed guide rail 11 until the rotating shaft 21 moves from one end of the sliding hole 111 to the other end. The connecting rod 2 and the middle rod 14 no longer move due to the restriction of the rotating shaft 21 in the sliding hole 111. At this time, the sliding rod 12 continues to move relative to the middle rod 14. Since the connecting rod 2 remains relatively stationary relative to the middle rod 14, the displacement difference caused by the middle rod 14 and the sliding rod 12 causes the connecting rod 2 to rotate relative to the fixed guide rail 11 with the rotating shaft 21 as the axis until the sliding rod 12 moves to the set position relative to the middle rod 14, and the display screen 3 rotates to a set angle with the horizontal plane.

[0052] Thus, the provision of the middle rod 14 can extend the horizontal movement distance of the display screen 3, making it easier to remove the display screen 3 from the accommodating cavity. Of course, if the sliding rod 12 is directly slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 11, the rotating shaft 21 will slide in conjunction with the sliding hole 111 and can rotate within the sliding hole 111.

[0053] In this example, the middle rod 14 is formed by splicing two C-shaped steels, the openings of the two C-shaped steels are opposite to each other, and the open ends are slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 11 and the sliding rod 12 respectively.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the sliding rod 12 and the connecting rod 2 are respectively located on two sides of the fixed guide rail 11 perpendicular to the sliding direction.

[0055] To ensure that the connection points between the sliding rod 12 and the connecting rod 2 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 are spaced apart and not co-linear, thereby enabling the display screen 3 to flip, in this example, the rotational connection point between the sliding rod 12 and the display screen 3 is located below the display screen 3, while the rotational connection point between the connecting rod 2 and the display screen 3 is located above the display screen 3. Furthermore, the sliding rod 12 and the connecting rod 2 are located on either side of the fixed guide rail 11 perpendicular to the sliding direction, forming an angle in the direction of movement.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11 and the above-mentioned sliding rod 12 are each provided with two intervals perpendicular to the sliding direction, and the above-mentioned driving member 13 includes two output ends, which are respectively connected to the two above-mentioned sliding rods 12 to simultaneously drive the two above-mentioned sliding rods 12 to move relative to the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11.

[0057] It is understandable that when only one fixed guide rail 11 and one sliding rod 12 are provided, the display screen 3 may become unstable when flipped. Therefore, in this example, two fixed guide rails 11 and two sliding rods 12 are provided, with one fixed guide rail 11 and one sliding rod 12 forming a set of sliding mechanisms. The two sets of sliding mechanisms are respectively provided on either side of the display screen 3 perpendicular to its direction of movement and spaced a certain distance apart. Preferably, two connecting rods 2 are also provided, each connected to the fixed guide rail 11 of a set of sliding mechanisms. The line connecting the rotational connection points of the two connecting rods 2 and the two sliding rods 12 on the display screen 3 forms a parallelogram, thereby ensuring stability when the display screen 3 is flipped.

[0058] Here, the driving member 13 has two output ends, and the two output ends synchronously drive the two sliding rods 12 to move along their respective fixed guide rails 11, thereby ensuring the flipping of the display screen 3.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, each of the sliding rods 12 is provided with a plurality of latching teeth 121 along the length direction, and both output ends of the driving member 13 are sleeved with a driving gear 131 , which meshes with the latching teeth 121 .

[0060] It can be understood that the driving gear 131 and the latching teeth 121 are engaged with each other, thereby pushing the sliding rod 12 to move along the fixed guide rail 11 .

[0061] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a hidden display screen, comprising the above-mentioned display screen flipping and pushing mechanism and the display screen 3.

[0062] Specifically, one end of the telescopic member 1 is used to be arranged in the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4, and the other end is rotatably connected to the display screen 3 to push the above-mentioned display screen 3 to move in and out of the above-mentioned accommodating cavity; one end of the connecting rod 2 is used to be slidably arranged in the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4, and can slide a set distance along the moving direction of the above-mentioned display screen 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the above-mentioned display screen 3. When the above-mentioned telescopic member 1 extends, it drives the above-mentioned connecting rod 2 to move a set distance and then continue to extend, causing the above-mentioned display screen 3 to flip over.

[0063] It can be understood that the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2 are both rotatably connected to the display screen 3 at one end. When the telescopic member 1 extends out of the accommodating cavity, the connecting rod 2 is also driven to slide out of the accommodating cavity until the connecting rod 2 slides a set distance. At this time, the connecting rod 2 no longer moves in the direction of movement of the display screen 3, and the telescopic member 1 continues to extend. Because the connection point of the telescopic member 1 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 is spaced apart from the connection point of the connecting rod 2 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 and is not located on the same straight line, the two rotation axes of the display screen are at different heights. Therefore, the display screen 3 begins to rotate around the rotation connection point with the telescopic member 1 until it rotates to the set angle for viewing by the driver and passengers.

[0064] It should be noted that the connection point of the telescopic member 1 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 is spaced apart from the connection point of the connecting rod 2 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 and is not located on the same straight line, so that the two rotational connection points of the display screen 3 are at different heights and form an angle with respect to the direction of movement. Furthermore, the telescopic member 1 has a retractable length greater than the set sliding distance of the connecting rod 2.

[0065] Thus, it can be seen that, through the cooperation of the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2, the display screen 3 can be moved out of the receiving cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4 and flipped to an angle convenient for the driver and passengers to view. Correspondingly, the display screen 3 can also be flipped to a horizontal state and retracted into the receiving cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4. In this way, when the display screen 3 is not needed, the display screen 3 can be retracted into the receiving cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4, saving space in the vehicle and also protecting the display screen 3. Of course, the cooperation of the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2 in the present application makes the movement and flipping of the display screen 3 a continuous action, eliminating the need for separate operations, thereby improving operability and facilitating control.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic member 1 includes a fixed guide rail 11, a sliding rod 12 and a driving member 13, the fixed guide rail 11 is used to be installed in the accommodating cavity of the above-mentioned instrument panel assembly 4; one end of the sliding rod 12 is slidingly connected to the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11, and the other end is used to be rotatably connected to the display screen 3; the output end of the driving member 13 is connected to the above-mentioned sliding rod 12, and is used to drive the above-mentioned sliding rod 12 to move relative to the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11.

[0067] It can be understood that both the connecting rod 2 and the sliding rod 12 can move along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11. When the driving member 13 drives the sliding rod 12 to move along the fixed guide rail 11, it also drives the connecting rod 2 to slide synchronously along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11 until the connecting rod 2 moves a set distance and no longer displaces with the fixed guide rail 11 in its length direction, and the sliding rod 12 continues to move along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11, thereby driving the display screen 3 to start flipping.

[0068] Specific as Figure 5 Force analysis shows that, under the action of driver 13, sliding rod 12 exerts force F1 in the direction of movement toward display screen 3. When connecting rod 2 ceases to displace in this direction, F1 transforms into a first force component F1-2 along the line connecting the two rotational connection points of connecting rod 2 and sliding rod 12 on display screen 3, and into a force component F1-1 perpendicular to this first force component. Simultaneously, first force component F1-2 (F2) and the tensile force F3 of connecting rod 2 transform into a flipping force F4 on display screen 3, thereby causing display screen 3 to flip.

[0069] The final flip angle of the display screen 3 can be set according to design requirements by controlling the displacement length of the sliding rod 12 relative to the fixed guide rail 11. For example, the farther the sliding rod 12 slides relative to the connecting rod 2, the smaller the angle between the display screen 3 and the horizontal direction.

[0070] It can be seen that, through one driving member 13, the display screen 3 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the fixed guide rail 11 and can be rotated relative to the longitudinal direction of the fixed guide rail 11. Compared with the prior art in which two driving members are used to control the displacement and rotation of the display screen respectively, it not only saves installation space, but also reduces costs and facilitates control.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the connecting rod 2 is slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 11 and can rotate relative to the fixed guide rail 11 .

[0072] It can be understood that after the connecting rod 2 moves a set distance, it no longer displaces in the length direction with the fixed guide rail 11, and the sliding rod 12 continues to move along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11. At this time, the connecting rod 2 rotates relative to the fixed guide rail 11 and the sliding rod 12 with the rotation connection point with the fixed guide rail 11 as the axis, thereby driving the display screen 3 to flip.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a sliding hole 111 is opened on the fixed guide rail 11 along the length direction, the sliding rod 12 is slidingly connected to the fixed guide rail 11 through the middle rod 14, the connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the middle rod 14 through the rotating shaft 21, and the rotating shaft 21 can slide in the sliding hole 111, and the length of the sliding hole 111 is the same as the set distance.

[0074] It can be understood that when the driving member 13 drives the sliding rod 12 to move out of the accommodating cavity, the sliding rod 12, the connecting rod 2 and the middle rod 14 move together relative to the fixed guide rail 11 until the rotating shaft 21 moves from one end of the sliding hole 111 to the other end. The connecting rod 2 and the middle rod 14 no longer move due to the restriction of the rotating shaft 21 in the sliding hole 111. At this time, the sliding rod 12 continues to move relative to the middle rod 14. Since the connecting rod 2 remains relatively stationary relative to the middle rod 14, the displacement difference caused by the middle rod 14 and the sliding rod 12 causes the connecting rod 2 to rotate relative to the fixed guide rail 11 with the rotating shaft 21 as the axis until the sliding rod 12 moves to the set position relative to the middle rod 14, and the display screen 3 rotates to a set angle with the horizontal plane.

[0075] Thus, the provision of the middle rod 14 can extend the horizontal movement distance of the display screen 3, making it easier to remove the display screen 3 from the accommodating cavity. Of course, if the sliding rod 12 is directly slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 11, the rotating shaft 21 will slide in conjunction with the sliding hole 111 and can rotate within the sliding hole 111.

[0076] In this example, the middle rod 14 is formed by splicing two C-shaped steels, the openings of the two C-shaped steels are opposite to each other, and the open ends are slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 11 and the sliding rod 12 respectively.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the sliding rod 12 and the connecting rod 2 are respectively located on two sides of the fixed guide rail 11 perpendicular to the sliding direction.

[0078] To ensure that the connection points between the sliding rod 12 and the connecting rod 2 for rotational connection with the display screen 3 are spaced apart and not co-linear, thereby enabling the display screen 3 to flip, in this example, the rotational connection point between the sliding rod 12 and the display screen 3 is located below the display screen 3, while the rotational connection point between the connecting rod 2 and the display screen 3 is located above the display screen 3. Furthermore, the sliding rod 12 and the connecting rod 2 are located on either side of the fixed guide rail 11 perpendicular to the sliding direction, forming an angle in the direction of movement.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11 and the above-mentioned sliding rod 12 are each provided with two intervals perpendicular to the sliding direction, and the above-mentioned driving member 13 includes two output ends, which are respectively connected to the two above-mentioned sliding rods 12 to simultaneously drive the two above-mentioned sliding rods 12 to move relative to the above-mentioned fixed guide rail 11.

[0080] It is understandable that when only one fixed guide rail 11 and one sliding rod 12 are provided, the display screen 3 may become unstable when flipped. Therefore, in this example, two fixed guide rails 11 and two sliding rods 12 are provided, with one fixed guide rail 11 and one sliding rod 12 forming a set of sliding mechanisms. The two sets of sliding mechanisms are respectively provided on either side of the display screen 3 perpendicular to its direction of movement and spaced a certain distance apart. Preferably, two connecting rods 2 are also provided, each connected to the fixed guide rail 11 of a set of sliding mechanisms. The line connecting the rotational connection points of the two connecting rods 2 and the two sliding rods 12 on the display screen 3 forms a parallelogram, thereby ensuring stability when the display screen 3 is flipped.

[0081] Here, the driving member 13 has two output ends, and the two output ends synchronously drive the two sliding rods 12 to move along their respective fixed guide rails 11, thereby ensuring that the display screen 3 is flipped.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, each of the sliding rods 12 is provided with a plurality of latching teeth 121 along the length direction, and both output ends of the driving member 13 are sleeved with a driving gear 131 , which meshes with the latching teeth 121 .

[0083] It can be understood that the driving gear 131 and the latching teeth 121 are engaged with each other, thereby pushing the sliding rod 12 to move along the fixed guide rail 11 .

[0084] Thirdly, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the present application also provides a vehicle, including an instrument panel assembly 4 and the above-mentioned hidden display screen.

[0085] Specifically, a accommodating cavity is provided in the instrument panel assembly 4; one end of the telescopic member 1 is provided in the accommodating cavity of the above-mentioned instrument panel assembly 4, and the other end is used to be rotatably connected to the above-mentioned display screen 3 to push the above-mentioned display screen 3 to move in and out of the above-mentioned accommodating cavity; one end of the connecting rod 2 is slidably provided in the accommodating cavity of the above-mentioned instrument panel assembly 4, and can slide a set distance along the moving direction of the above-mentioned display screen 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the display screen 3. When the above-mentioned telescopic member 1 is extended, it drives the above-mentioned connecting rod 2 to move a set distance and then continues to extend, causing the above-mentioned display screen 3 to flip over.

[0086] It can be understood that when the display screen 3 is not needed, the display screen 3 can be retracted into the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4, which saves space in the vehicle and also protects the display screen 3; when the display screen 3 needs to be viewed, the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2 cooperate to move the display screen 3 out of the accommodating cavity of the instrument panel assembly 4 and flip it to an angle that is convenient for the driver and passengers to watch.

[0087] It should be noted that the display screen 3 is in a horizontal state when in the accommodating cavity, and fits with the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2. In this example, before the display screen 3 is turned over, the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2 are located above the display screen 3.

[0088] In some optional embodiments, the vehicle further includes a flip cover 5 , which is rotatably connected to the instrument panel assembly 4 via a torsion spring and is used to close the opening of the accommodating cavity.

[0089] As will be appreciated, the instrument panel assembly 4 has an opening communicating with the accommodating cavity, allowing the concealed display screen to be removed from the accommodating cavity. A flip cover 5 is provided at the opening, one end of which is pivotally connected to the instrument panel assembly 4. To ensure that the flip cover 5 can reclose the opening communicating with the accommodating cavity after the concealed display screen is retracted into the accommodating cavity, a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the flip cover 5 and the instrument panel assembly 4, providing a rebound force for the flip cover 5 to move toward the instrument panel assembly 4.

[0090] Preferably, the size of the flip cover 5 is adapted to the size of the opening and is flush with the outer contour of the instrument panel assembly 4. In this way, when the hidden display screen is located in the accommodating cavity, the instrument panel assembly 4 has an aesthetic appearance.

[0091] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when it is necessary to view the display screen 3, the driving member 13 drives the sliding rod 12 to move along the fixed guide rail 11, and drives the sliding rod 12, the connecting rod 2 and the middle rod 14 to move relative to the fixed guide rail 11 until the rotating shaft 21 moves from one end of the sliding hole 111 to the other end. The connecting rod 2 and the middle rod 14 no longer move due to the restriction of the rotating shaft 21 in the sliding hole 111. At this time, the sliding rod 12 continues to move relative to the middle rod 14. Since the connecting rod 2 remains relatively stationary relative to the middle rod 14, the displacement difference caused by the middle rod 14 and the sliding rod 12 causes the connecting rod 2 to rotate relative to the fixed guide rail 11 with the rotating shaft 21 as the axis until the sliding rod 12 moves to the set position relative to the middle rod 14, and the display screen 3 rotates to a set angle with the horizontal plane.

[0092] The present invention provides a display screen flipping and pushing mechanism, a hidden display screen and a vehicle, which enable the display screen 3 to be moved and flipped through the cooperation of the telescopic member 1 and the connecting rod 2; through a driving member 13, the display screen 3 can be displaced in the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11 and can be rotated relative to the length direction of the fixed guide rail 11. Compared with the prior art in which the displacement and rotation of the display screen are controlled separately by two driving members, it not only saves installation space, but also reduces costs and is easy to control; by providing a sliding hole 111, the sliding setting distance of the connecting rod 2 relative to the fixed guide rail 11 is controlled; by arranging two fixed guide rails 11 and the above-mentioned sliding rods 12 at intervals perpendicular to the sliding direction, the lines connecting the rotation connection points of the two connecting rods 2 and the two sliding rods 12 on the display screen 3 form a parallelogram, so that the display screen 3 has stability when flipping; the two output ends of a driving member 13 synchronously drive the two sliding rods 12 to move along their respective fixed guide rails 11, thereby ensuring the flipping of the display screen 3.
