[0027] First aspect

[0028] This application provides a guide structure 10, see [link to relevant documentation] Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the guide structure 10 includes a first body 11, a second body 12, and a movable member 13. The second body 12 is connected to the first body 11 and can change its relative angle with the first body 11. The movable member 13 is connected to the second body 12 and can move relative to the second body 12. The guide structure 10 is used to connect with a carrier 20, wherein the carrier 20 includes a first part 21, a second part 22, and a third part 23 capable of changing the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22. The first part 21 is connected to the first body 11, and the second part 22 is connected to the movable member 13. The guide structure 10 is used to guide the third part 23 to change the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22 in a preset posture when the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 changes.

[0029] Specifically, the first entity 11 mentioned above can be Figure 1 The plate-like structure shown could also be a platform-like structure, or a structure of other shapes. The second body 12 mentioned above could be... Figure 1 The plate-like structure shown can also be Figure 3The L-shaped frame structure shown can also be of other shapes. The second body 12 described above is connected to the first body 11 and can change its relative angle with the first body 11. That is, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are connected, and the relative angle between them can be changed. For example, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are connected by a pivot 15, and at least one of the first body 11 and the second body 12 can rotate relative to the pivot 15, so that the first body 11 and the second body 12 can rotate relative to each other through the pivot 15, thereby changing the relative angle between them.

[0030] The movable component 13 described above is connected to the second body 12 and can move relative to the second body 12. In other words, the movable component 13, after being connected to the second body 12, is not fixed but can move relative to the second body 12; for example: see Figure 1 As shown, the movable member 13 is attached to the second body 12 and slides relative to the second body 12. When the second body 12 moves relative to the first body 11 to make the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 smaller, the movable member 13 can slide closer to or away from the end of the first body 11. When the second body 12 moves relative to the first body 11 to make the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 larger, the movable member 13 can slide closer to or away from the end of the first body 11.

[0031] The carrier 20 described above can be a circuit board, a flexible display screen, or other structures. The carrier 20 includes a first part 21, a second part 22, and a third part 23 capable of changing the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22. That is, the third part 23 is a flexible structure, allowing it to bend, and after bending, the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22 changes. For example, if the carrier 20 is a circuit board, the circuit board includes the first part 21, the third part 23, and the second part 22 connected in sequence. After bending, the first part 21 and the second part 22 are at least partially opposite to each other. The first part 21 is connected to the first body 11, and the second part 22 is connected to the movable member 13. The guide structure 10 is used to guide the third part 23 to change the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22 in a preset posture when the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 changes. Thus, when the second body 12 moves relative to the first body 11, the movable member 13 slides relative to the second body 12, allowing the second part 22 connected to the movable member 13 to move relative to the first part 21 connected to the first body 11 within the range of motion provided by the movable member 13 and the first body 11. This achieves the goal of guiding the third part 23 to change the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22 in a preset posture when the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 changes. Here, when the carrier 20 is a planar structure, the carrier 20 can be as follows: Figure 2 The first body 11 and the movable part 13 are shown to be attached to each other. In order to make the attachment effect better, the first body 11 corresponding to the first part 21 and the movable part 13 corresponding to the second part 22 can be respectively provided with adsorption structures (such as suction cups) to adsorb the carrier 20 after it is attached.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the guide structure 10 includes a first body 11, a second body 12, and a movable member 13. The second body 12 is connected to the first body 11 via a pivot 15, allowing the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 to change. The movable member 13 is connected to the second body 12 and can slide relative to the second body 12 towards or away from the connection position between the first body 11 and the second body 12. The carrier 20 is a circuit board, comprising a first part 21, a second part 22, and a third part 23 capable of changing the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22. The first part 21 is attached to a first side of the first body 11, and the second part 22 is attached to a movable member 13 and located on a first side of the second body 12. Both the first side of the first body 11 and the first side of the second body 12 are located on the first side of the carrier 20. As the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 gradually decreases, the first side of the second body 12 gradually approaches the first side of the first body 11 and faces it. Simultaneously, the movable member 13 can move closer to or further away from the connection position between the first body 11 and the second body 12, so that the relative angle between the second part 22 and the first part 21 gradually decreases and the third part 23 bends in a preset posture. Finally, after removing the carrier 20 from the guide structure 10, the second body 12 is rotated relative to the first body 11 back to its original position.

[0033] In other embodiments, the guide structure 10 includes a first body 11, a second body 12, and a movable member 13. The second body 12 is connected to the first body 11 via a pivot 15, allowing the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 to change. The movable member 13 is connected to the second body 12 and can slide relative to the second body 12 towards or away from the connection position of the first body 11 and the second body 12. The carrier 20 includes a first part 21, a second part 22, and a third part 23 capable of changing the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22. The first part 21 is a display module, and the second part 22 and the third part 23 are both control circuits. The first part 21 is attached to the first side of the first body 11, and the second part 22 is attached to the movable member 13 and located on the first side of the second body 12. As the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 gradually decreases, the first side of the second body 12 gradually approaches the first side of the first body 11 and faces each other. At the same time, the movable member 13 can move closer to or away from the connection position between the first body 11 and the second body 12, so that the relative angle between the second part 22 and the first part 21 gradually decreases and the third part 23 bends in a preset posture. Finally, after removing the carrier 20 from the guide structure 10, the second body 12 is rotated relative to the first body 11 back to its original position.

[0034] It should be noted that in the above two embodiments, the first part 21 of the carrier 20 is connected to the first side of the first body 11, and the second part 22 of the carrier 20 is connected to the first side of the second body 12. The first side of the first body 11 and the first side of the second body 12 are both located on the first side of the carrier 20. Of course, in the specific implementation, the first part 21 of the carrier 20 can be connected to the second side of the first body 11, and the second part 22 of the carrier 20 can be connected to the second side of the second body 12. The second side of the first body 11 and the second side of the second body 12 are both located on the second side of the carrier 20. The second side is opposite to the first side of the carrier 20. As the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 gradually decreases, the second side of the second body 12 gradually approaches the second side of the first body 11 and becomes opposite to the second side of the first body 11.

[0035] In this embodiment, the guide structure 10 includes a first body 11, a second body 12, and a movable member 13. The first body 11 and the second body 12 can move relative to each other to change the angle between them. The movable member 13 is movably connected to the second body 12. Thus, when the first body 11 and the second body 12 move relative to each other to gradually reduce the angle between them, the movable member 13 can slide towards or away from the connection position of the first body 11 and the second body 12. Subsequently, when the first part 21 of the carrier 20 is connected to the first body 11 and the second part 22 is connected to the movable member 13, and the first body 11 and the second body 12 move relative to each other to gradually reduce the angle between them, the movable member 13 can fold the second part 22 towards the first part 21. During this process, the third part 23 between the first part 21 and the second part 22 deforms in a preset posture. Because the third part 23 between the first part 21 and the second part 22 deforms in a preset posture, different carriers 20 (i.e., bending structures) deform under the guidance of the guide structure 10, and the deformed shapes are consistent. Moreover, when the carrier 20 contains wiring, such as a circuit board or control circuit, the third part 23 between the first part 21 and the second part 22 deforms in a preset posture, thus achieving precise deformation, preventing wiring breakage, and ensuring the functionality and reliability of the wiring after the carrier 20 is deformed, thereby improving the yield of the deformed carrier 20.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6As shown, the guide structure 10 further includes a sliding guide assembly 14, which guides the sliding of the movable member 13 on the second body 12. The sliding guide assembly 14 includes a first guide member 141 and a second guide member 142. The first guide member 141 is connected to the first body 11 and is provided with a guide rail 1411. The second guide member 142 has a first end 1421 and a second end 1422, which is connected to the movable member 13. When the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 changes, the second body 12 drives the first end 1421 of the second guide member 142 to move along the guide rail 1411. When the first end 1421 moves along the guide rail 1411, the movable member 13 can slide relative to the second body 12.

[0037] Specifically, the sliding guide component 14 described above is used to guide the sliding of the movable part 13 on the second body 12. That is, after the movable part 13 is connected to the second body 12, it can slide relative to the second body 12, and the sliding guide component 14 can guide the sliding process.

[0038] The sliding guide assembly 14 described above includes a first guide 141 and a second guide 142. The first guide 141 is connected to the first body 11 and is provided with a guide rail 1411. The second guide 142 has a first end 1421 and a second end 1422. The second end 1422 is connected to a movable member 13. When the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 changes, the second body 12 drives the first end 1421 of the second guide 142 to move along the guide rail 1411. When the first end 1421 moves along the guide rail 1411, the movable member 13 can slide relative to the second body 12. Thus, as the relative movement between the second body 12 and the first body 11 gradually reduces the angle between them, the first end 1421 of the second guide 142 moves along the guide rail 1411, causing the second end 1422 of the second guide 142 to slide with the movable member 13 towards or away from the connection position between the first body 11 and the second body 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first guide 141 of the sliding guide assembly 14 is connected to the first body 11, and the second guide 142 is connected to the movable member 13 and can move along the guide track 1411 formed by the first guide 141. Thus, the movable member 13 slides relative to the second body 12 under the guidance of the guide track 1411, thereby enabling the second part 22 connected to the movable member 13 to move along a preset trajectory, which in turn drives the third part 23 to deform in a preset posture.

[0040] In the specific implementation process of this application's embodiments, see [link / reference]. Figure 3 As shown, the guide structure 10 may further include a guide seat 16, and the first guide member 141 is connected to the guide seat 16 so that the guide seat 16 supports the first body 11, the second body 12 and the movable member 13 and other structures.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the guide track 1411 is an arc-shaped track; the first end 1421 moves by abutting against the arc-shaped track.

[0042] Here, the arc track can be a concave arc track, a convex arc track, or an arc track that is both concave and convex. Regardless of whether it is a concave arc track, a convex arc track, or an arc track that is both concave and convex, the first end 1421 of the second guide 142 can move along the arc track and form an arc movement trajectory, thereby enabling the movable part 13 connected to the second guide 142 to carry the second part 22 to perform an arc movement, and enabling the third part 23 to undergo arc deformation in a preset posture.

[0043] The following provides four specific settings for the guide rail 1411 and the first end 1421. In actual implementation, one of the following four specific settings can be used, or other settings can be used.

[0044] First setting:

[0045] See Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the arc-shaped track has a concave, smooth surface, and the first end 1421 is a convex arc shape. In this way, the convexity of the first end 1421 can conform to the smooth surface of the arc-shaped track and move relative to the smooth surface.

[0046] Second setting:

[0047] See Figure 6 As shown, the arc-shaped track is a smooth surface with both depressions and convexities, and a rotating wheel is connected to the first end 1421. In this way, the rotating wheel at the first end 1421 can rotate along the smooth surface of the arc-shaped track to move relative to the smooth surface.

[0048] The third setting:

[0049] The curved track has a concave, smooth surface, and a rotating ball is connected to the first end 1421. In this way, the rotating ball at the first end 1421 can rotate along the smooth surface of the curved track to move relative to the smooth surface.

[0050] Fourth setting:

[0051] The arc track is a concave arc gear track, and the first end 1421 meshes with the arc gear track and can rotate along the arc gear track.

[0052] In some embodiments, the arc-shaped track includes multiple sub-tracks connected in sequence, and the radii of curvature corresponding to the multiple sub-tracks are not exactly the same. Thus, the first end 1421 of the first guide 141 rotates around different centers, which can be designed according to the preset posture of the third part 23.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the sliding guide assembly 14 further includes: an elastic element 143, which is connected to the movable element 13. The elastic element 143 and the second guide element 142 are located on opposite sides of the movable element 13. During the movement of the first end 1421 against the arc track, the elastic element 143 provides elastic force to keep the first end 1421 in contact with the arc track.

[0054] Specifically, the elastic element 143 mentioned above can be a rubber column, a spring, or other elastic structural components. The elastic element 143 is connected to the movable element 13. The elastic element 143 and the second guide element 142 are located on opposite sides of the movable element 13. During the movement of the first end 1421 against the arc-shaped track, the elastic element 143 is used to keep the first end 1421 in contact with the arc-shaped track. That is, the second guide element 142, the movable element 13, and the elastic element 143 are connected in sequence. When the second guide element 142 moves along the arc-shaped track of the first guide element 141, the movable element 13 slides along the second guide element 142 and squeezes or releases the elastic element 143. Regardless of whether the elastic element 143 is squeezed or released, it causes the elastic element 143 to exert a reaction force on the movable element 13 to push the second guide element 142, so that the first end 1421 remains in contact with the arc-shaped track.

[0055] For example, when the first body 11 and the second body 12 move relative to each other to reduce the relative angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12, the second guide 142 moves along the arc-shaped track of the first guide 141, so that the movable member 13 slides away from the connection position of the first body 11 and the second body 12 and squeezes the elastic member 143. In this way, the elastic member 143 gives the movable member 13 a reaction force to push the second guide 142, so that the first end 1421 is maintained in the state of abutting the arc-shaped track.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the sliding guide assembly 14 further includes a limiting rod 144, which passes through the elastic member 143 and extends into the movable member 13. The limiting rod 144 is able to slide relative to the movable member 13. The limiting rod 144 is used to keep the movable member 13 pressing the elastic member 143 along the extension direction of the limiting rod 144 during the movement of the first end 1421 against the arc track.

[0057] Specifically, the aforementioned limiting rod 144 passes through the elastic member 143 and extends into the movable member 13, and the limiting rod 144 can slide relative to the movable member 13. Thus, when the elastic member 143 is compressed, the limiting rod 144 slides relative to the movable member 13 to increase the length of the limiting rod 144 extending into the movable member 13. At the same time, the limiting rod 144 is used to keep the movable member 13 pressing the elastic member 143 along the extension direction of the limiting rod 144 during the movement of the first end 1421 against the arc track. In other words, the elastic member 143 is compressed along the limiting rod 144, which can reduce the probability of the elastic member 143 deforming or even bending in the non-compression direction.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide structure 10 may further include a rotating shaft 15, which connects the first body 11 and the second body 12, allowing the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 to change. Here, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft 15, and at least one of the first body 11 and the second body 12 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 15. Thus, the second body 12 can rotate relative to the first body 11 via the rotating shaft 15 to change the angle between the first body 11 and the second body 12.

[0059] In this embodiment, the axis of the rotating shaft 15 and the axis of the arc-shaped track can be aligned or not. When the axis of the rotating shaft 15 and the axis of the arc-shaped track are aligned, the bending radius between the first body 11 and the second body 12 is the same as the bending radius between the second part 22 and the first part 21. When the axis of the rotating shaft 15 and the axis of the arc-shaped track are not aligned, the bending radius between the first body 11 and the second body 12 is not the same as the bending radius between the second part 22 and the first part 21. Thus, the bending radius can be set according to the actual required bending radius.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first part 21 includes a display module; the second part 22 includes a control circuit electrically connected to the display module. Thus, guided by the guide structure 10, the control circuit can be bent toward the back of the display module in a preset posture, thereby reducing the area occupied by the carrier 20.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the guide structure 10 includes: a first body 11, a second body 12, a movable component 13, a sliding guide assembly 14, and a rotating shaft 15.

[0062] The first body 11 and the second body 12 are connected by a pivot 15, so that the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 can be changed.

[0063] The movable part 13 is connected to the second body 12 and can slide relative to the second body 12.

[0064] The sliding guide assembly 14 is used to guide the sliding of the movable member 13 on the second body 12. The sliding guide assembly 14 includes: a first guide 141, a second guide 142, an elastic member 143, and a limiting rod 144.

The second structure is connected to the first structure via the connecting structure and can change its relative angle with the first structure. The electronic device also includes a guide structure 10 and a carrier 20. The guide structure 10 includes a first body 11, a second body 12, and a movable member 13.

The system consists of a first part 21, a second part 22, and a third part 23 capable of changing the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22. The first part 21 is connected to the first body 11, and the second part 22 is connected to the movable part 13. The guide structure 10 is used to guide the third part 23 to change the relative angle between the first part 21 and the second part 22 in a preset posture when the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11 changes. The first body 11 is disposed in the first structure, the second body 12 is disposed in the second structure, and the connection position between the first body 11 and the second body 12 corresponds to the connection structure.

The second structure described above is connected to the first structure via a connecting structure and can change its relative angle with the first structure; that is, the connecting structure connects the first structure and the second structure respectively, allowing the second structure to rotate relative to the first structure to change the angle between the second structure and the first structure; for example, the connecting structure includes a bearing, which is disposed on one of the first structure and the second structure and rotatably connected to the other.

[0070] The first body 11 is disposed in the first structure, and the second body 12 is disposed in the second structure.

Thus, when the second body 12 rotates relative to the first body 11 to change the relative angle between the second body 12 and the first body 11, the second structure also rotates relative to the first structure and the relative angle between the second structure and the first structure also changes.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, the first structure includes a first display area, the second structure includes a first input area, and the carrier 20 is a circuit board connecting the first display area and the first input area. When the second structure rotates relative to the first structure via the connecting structure, the first display area and the first input area can fit together. Here, the first input area can be a physical button input or a touch input.

[0072] In other embodiments, the first structure includes a second display area, the second structure includes a third display area and a second input area, and the carrier 20 is a circuit board that connects the second display area, the third display area and the second input area respectively. When the second structure rotates relative to the first structure through the connecting structure, the second display area is in contact with the third display area and the second input area respectively. Here, the second input area can be a physical button input or a touch input.

[0073] In this embodiment, the guide structure 10 can guide the carrier 20 to deform according to a preset posture so as to adapt to the change in the relative angle between the first structure and the second structure.
