[0005] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the main body, the first wing, the first transmission member, the first support member, the first link, and the first water drop plate essentially constitute a Stephenson II type six-link with sliding instead of rotation, and wherein the main body, the second wing, the second transmission member, the second support member, the second link, and the second water drop plate essentially constitute another Stephenson II type six-link with sliding instead of rotation.

[0006] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first teardrop plate includes a first large arc-shaped slider and a first small arc-shaped slider. The first small arc-shaped slider slides on the first outer arc-shaped slide rail. The first connecting rod includes a first arc-shaped groove and a first pivot portion. The first large arc-shaped slider slides on the first arc-shaped groove, and the first pivot portion is pivotally connected to the first outer pivot portion.

The second large arc-shaped slider slides on the second arc-shaped groove, and the second pivot portion is pivotally connected to the second outer pivot portion.

[0007] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first transmission member further includes a first bending plate and a first straight slider. The first bending plate extends outward from the first rod in a radial direction along the first axis, and the first straight slider extends outward from the first bending plate in a direction parallel to the first axis.

The second support member further includes a second straight groove that extends substantially perpendicular to the second axis, and the second straight slider slides in the second straight groove.

[0008] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first outer pivot and the first rotating shaft jointly define a first outer pivot axis. The first connecting rod rotates relative to the first wing member on the first outer pivot axis. The first outer arc-shaped slide defines a first outer small virtual axis, and the first arc-shaped groove defines a first outer large virtual axis. The first water droplet plate rotates relative to the first carrier member and the first connecting rod on the first outer small virtual axis and the first outer large virtual axis, respectively. The second outer pivot and the second rotating shaft jointly define a second outer pivot axis, and the second connecting rod rotates relative to the second wing member on the second outer pivot axis. The second outer arc-shaped slide defines a second outer small virtual axis, and the second arc-shaped chute defines a second outer large virtual axis. The second water droplet plate rotates relative to the second carrier and the second connecting rod on the second outer small virtual axis and the second outer large virtual axis, respectively. The first axis, the first inner virtual axis, the first inner pivot axis, the first outer pivot axis, the first outer small virtual axis, the first outer large virtual axis, the second axis, the second inner virtual axis, the second inner pivot axis, the second outer pivot axis, the second outer small virtual axis, and the second outer large virtual axis are parallel to each other and do not overlap.

[0009] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first receiving groove is formed through the radial direction of the first axis, and the second receiving groove is formed through the radial direction of the second axis. A first distance is defined between the first axis and the first outer virtual axis, and a second distance is defined between the second axis and the second outer virtual axis. When the first support member and the second support member change from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first arc-shaped slide and the second arc-shaped slide move linearly outward in the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove, respectively. The first distance and the second distance increase, thereby moving the first water drop plate and the second water drop plate away from the central base.

[0010] As described above in the foldable electronic device, the torque module includes a mounting base, a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole. The mounting base has a first wing and a second wing. The first shaft hole is formed in the first wing along the first axis, and the second shaft hole is formed in the second wing along the second axis.

[0011] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first rod has a first rod body, a first stop portion, and a first extension post. The first stop portion is formed at one end of the first rod body and abuts against the first wing portion. The first extension post extends outward from the first stop portion and passes through the first shaft hole. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first stop portion is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first extension post. The second rod has a second rod body, a second stop portion, and a second extension post. The second stop portion is formed at one end of the second rod body and abuts against the second wing portion. The second extension post extends outward from the second stop portion and passes through the second shaft hole.

[0012] As described above in the foldable electronic device, the torque module further includes a first stop washer, a plurality of first bowl-shaped washers, a second stop washer, and a plurality of second bowl-shaped washers. The first stop washer is fitted onto the first extension post and moves in tandem with the first extension post. The first bowl-shaped washer is fitted onto the first extension post and constantly provides a first elastic force. The first elastic force tends to cause the first stop washer to abut against the first wing. The second stop washer is fitted onto the second extension post and moves in tandem with the second extension post. The second bowl-shaped washer is fitted onto the second extension post and constantly provides a second elastic force. The second elastic force tends to cause the second stop washer to abut against the second wing.

[0013] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, when the first panel body and the second panel body are in the unfolded state, the first support member and the second support member are substantially 180 degrees apart. When the first panel body and the second panel body are in the folded state, the first support member and the second support member are substantially 0 degrees apart. When the first panel body and the second panel body switch between the unfolded state and the folded state, the first transmission member and the second transmission member reverse synchronously, causing the first stop part and the first stop washer to rub against the opposite sides of the first wing at the same time, and causing the second stop part and the second stop washer to rub against the opposite sides of the second wing at the same time. In this way, the first support member and the second support member can stop and be positioned at an angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.

[0014] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the synchronization module further includes a first spiral bump, a second spiral bump, a first spiral groove, and a second spiral groove, wherein the first spiral bump is matchedly accommodated in the first spiral groove, and the second spiral bump is matchedly accommodated in the second spiral groove.

[0015] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first spiral groove is recessed in the first rod body along a first spiral direction, the second spiral groove is recessed in the second rod body along a second spiral direction, and the first spiral protrusion and the second spiral protrusion are respectively formed on opposite sides of the synchronous slider body.

[0016] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first spiral direction is opposite to the second spiral direction.

[0017] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the central base also includes a track groove that extends through the track portion, and the synchronization module also includes a limiting rib formed in the synchronization slider body, the limiting rib being slidably accommodated in the track groove.

[0018] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first wing also includes a first top surface, and the second wing also includes a second top surface. When the first panel body and the second panel body are in the unfolded state, the first water drop plate, the second water drop plate, the first top surface, the second top surface and the central base are coplanar.

[0019] In the aforementioned foldable electronic device, the first wing also includes a first arc surface that is angularly adjacent to the first top surface and bends in a direction away from the first axis. The second wing also includes a second arc surface that is angularly adjacent to the second top surface and bends in a direction away from the second axis. When the first panel body and the second panel body are in the folded state, the first water drop plate and the second water drop plate are close to each other at one end of the first support member and the second support member, respectively. The first water drop plate and the second water drop plate are obliquely intersecting the central base, and together with the first arc surface, the second arc surface and the central base, they surround and define the accommodating space in a teardrop shape.

The first inner arc-shaped slides 22 are recessed at intervals on opposite sides of the first wing body 21 adjacent to the body portion 11, and are respectively provided for the first inner arc-shaped sliders 13 to slide, thereby enabling the first wing member 2 to pivot relative to the body portion 11 about the first inner virtual axis VXI1. Figure 12 The first inner pivot portion 23 extends from the first wing body 21 in a direction away from the first inner arc-shaped slide 22. The first outer pivot portion 24 extends outward from the first inner pivot portion 23. The first top surface 25 is formed on the first wing body 21 and adjacent to the body portion 11, and the first arc surface 26 is formed on the first wing body 21 and angularly adjacent to the first top surface 25, and is curved in a direction away from the first axis X1.

The first rod body 31 has a first rod 311, a first stop 312, a first extension post 313, and a first locking post 315. One end of the first rod 311 is pivotally connected to one of the shaft holes 112 along a first axis X1. The first stop 312 is formed at the other end of the first rod 311. The first extension post 313 extends outward from the first stop 312 along the first axis X1, and its cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the first stop 312 and is a non-circular cross-section. The first locking post 315 extends outward from the first extension post 313 along the first axis X1, and its cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the first extension post 313 and is a circular cross-section.

The first pivot portion 412 extends outward from the first support body 411 and is pivotally connected to a first inner pivot portion 23. The first pivot portion 412 and the first inner pivot portion 23 together define a first inner pivot axis PXI1. Figure 12 This allows the first carrier 41 to rotate relative to the first wing member 2 about the first inner pivot axis PXI1. A first outer arc-shaped slide rail 413 is formed on the first carrier 411 and spaced apart from the first pivot portion 412, and defines a first outer small virtual axis VXS1. Figure 11 The first receiving groove 414 is defined by the first support body 411 and extends radially along the first axis X1, located between the first pivot portion 412 and the first straight slide groove 415.

One end of the second rod 811 is pivotally connected to one of the shaft holes 112 along the second axis X2. The second stop 812 is formed at the other end of the second rod 811. The second extension post 813 extends outward from the second stop 812 along the second axis X2, and its cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the second stop 812 and is a non-circular cross-section. The second locking post 815 extends outward from the second extension post 813 along the second axis X2, and its cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the second extension post 813 and is a circular cross-section. The second bent plate 82 extends outward from the second rod 811 in a radial direction along the second axis X2, and the second straight slider 83 extends outward from the second bent plate 82 in a direction parallel to the second axis X2. That is, the second rod 811 and the second straight slider 83 are respectively connected to the two sides of the second bent plate 82.

The second support member 91 has a second support body 911, a second pivot portion 912, a second outer arc-shaped slide rail 913, a second receiving groove 914, and a second straight slide rail 915. The second pivot portion 912 extends outward from the second support body 911 and is pivotally connected to the second inner pivot portion 73. The second pivot portion 912 and the second inner pivot portion 73 together define the second inner pivot axis PXI2. Figure 12 The second carrier 91 can rotate relative to the second wing member 7 about the second inner pivot axis PXI2. A second outer arc-shaped slide 913 is formed on the second carrier 911 and spaced apart from the second pivot portion 912, and defines a second outer small virtual axis VXS2. Figure 11 The second receiving groove 914 is defined by the second support body 911 and extends radially along the second axis X2, located between the second pivot portion 912 and the second straight slide groove 915. The second straight slide groove 915 is defined by the second support body 911, extends approximately perpendicular to the second axis X2, and allows the second straight slider 83 to slide linearly within it. The second panel housing 92 is approximately square-shaped, fixed to the second support member 91, and coplanar with the second top surface 75. Additionally, the second panel body 9 also includes electronic components, but since these are less relevant to the folding operation, they will not be described further here.

[0103] The second link A includes a second arc-shaped groove A1 and a second shaft rotating part A2 spaced apart from each other. The second arc-shaped groove A1 is accommodated in the second receiving groove 914 and defines the second outer virtual axis VXB2. Figure 13The second pivot A2 is pivotally connected to the second outer pivot 74, and together they define the second outer pivot axis PXO2. Figure 13 This allows the second link A to rotate relative to the second wing member 7 about the second outer pivot axis PXO2.

[0104] The second water droplet plate B is pivotally supported by the second support member 91 and the second connecting rod A, and includes a second large arc-shaped slider B1 and a second small arc-shaped slider B2. The second large arc-shaped slider B1 slides in the second arc-shaped groove A1, and the second small arc-shaped slider B2 slides in the second outer arc-shaped slide 913, thereby allowing the second water droplet plate B to rotate relative to the second support member 91 about the second outer small virtual axis VXS2. Figure 11 It can rotate relative to the second link A about the second outer virtual axis VXB2. Figure 13 ).

[0105] The torque module C includes a fixed base C1, a first shaft hole C2, a second shaft hole C3, a first nut C4, a second nut C5, a first stop washer C6, multiple first cup-shaped washers C7, a second stop washer C8, and multiple second cup-shaped washers C9. The fixed base C1 has a body C11, a first wing C12, and a second wing C13. The body C11 is generally rectangular and is disposed on the track portion 12, exposing the track groove 15, and is spaced apart from the body portion 11. The first wing C12 and the second wing C13 extend outward from opposite sides of the body C11 and are spaced apart from each other. One side of the first wing C12 abuts against the first stop portion 312, and one side of the second wing C13 abuts against the second stop portion 812.

[0106] A first shaft hole C2 is formed in the first wing C12 along the first axis X1, and a first extension post 313 is pivotally connected through it. The cross-sectional area of ​​C2 is larger than that of the first extension post 313. A second shaft hole C3 is formed in the second wing C13 along the second axis X2, and a second extension post 813 is pivotally connected through it. The cross-sectional area of ​​C3 is larger than that of the second extension post 813. A first nut C4 is screwed into the first locking post 315, and a second nut C5 is screwed into the second locking post 815.

[0107] The first stop washer C6 has a first through hole C61, through which the first extension post 313 passes. The cross-section of the first through hole C61 matches the cross-section of the first extension post 313 and is a non-circular cross-section, thereby allowing the first stop washer C6 to be fitted onto the first extension post 313 and to move in tandem with it. The first cup-shaped washer C7 is fitted onto the first extension post 313 and located between the first nut C4 and the first stop washer C6, and does not move in tandem with the first extension post 313. It constantly provides a first elastic force, which tends to cause the first stop washer C6 to abut against the other side of the first wing C12. The magnitude of the first elastic force can be changed by adjusting the distance between the first nut C4 and the first wing C12. The second stop washer C8 has a second through hole C81 through which the second extension post 813 passes. The cross-section of the second through hole C81 matches the cross-section of the second extension post 813 and is a non-circular cross-section, thereby allowing the second stop washer C8 to be fitted onto the second extension post 813 and to move in tandem with it. The second cup-shaped washer C9 is fitted onto the second extension post 813 and located between the second nut C5 and the second stop washer C8, and does not move in tandem with the second extension post 813. It constantly provides a second elastic force, which tends to cause the second stop washer C8 to abut against the other side of the second wing C13. The magnitude of the second elastic force can be changed by adjusting the distance between the second nut C5 and the second wing C13.

[0108] The synchronization module D includes a synchronization slider D1, a limiting rib D2, a first helical protrusion D3, a second helical protrusion D4, a first helical groove D5, and a second helical groove D6. The synchronization slider D1 is slidably disposed between the first transmission member 3 and the second transmission member 8 and on the track portion 12, and is connected to the first transmission member 3 and the second transmission member 8. The limiting rib D2 extends outward from the bottom surface of the synchronization slider D1 and is slidably accommodated in the track groove 15, thereby allowing the synchronization slider D1 to move along the track groove 15. The first helical protrusion D3 is formed along the first helical direction H1 on one of the two opposite sides of the synchronization slider D1. The second helical protrusion D4 is formed along the second helical direction H2 on the other of the two opposite sides of the synchronization slider D1. The first helical groove D5 is recessed along the first helical direction H1 in the first rod body 311 and is matched to accommodate the first helical protrusion D3 therein. The second helical groove D6 is recessed in the second rod body 811 along the second helical direction H2, and is matched to accommodate the second helical protrusion D4 therein. In this embodiment, the first helical direction H1 and the second helical direction H2 are opposite. In other embodiments, the first helical groove D5 and the second helical groove D6 may also be recessed on opposite sides of the synchronous slider body D1, and the first helical protrusion D3 and the second helical protrusion D4 may also be formed on the first rod body 311 and the second rod body 811, respectively. This application is not limited thereto.

[0109] The flexible screen E is disposed on the first panel body 4, the second panel body 9, the first water drop plate 6, the second water drop plate B and the central base 1, and includes a bendable area E1, which roughly corresponds to the central base 1, the first curved surface 26, the second curved surface 76, the first water drop plate 6 and the second water drop plate B.

[0110] The following describes the operation of the foldable electronic device 1000 of this application. The first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 can be in an unfolded state (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 ) and a folded state (such as Figure 14 The flexible screen E can be unfolded when the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 are unfolded. The first water drop plate 6, the second water drop plate B, the first top surface 25, the second top surface 75, the upper surface 111 of the body part 11 and the top plate 16 are coplanar and jointly support the bendable area E1. At this time, the first support member 41 and the second support member 91 are substantially sandwiched by 180 degrees.

[0111] When the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 are in the unfolded state ( Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 ) Towards the folded state ( Figure 15 and Figure 16During the transformation, the first wing member 2 and the second wing member 7 pivot relative to the main body 11 around the first inner virtual axis VXI1 and the second inner virtual axis VXI2, respectively, causing the first inner pivot part 23 and the second inner pivot part 73 to gradually approach each other. The first bearing member 41 and the second bearing member 91 pivot relative to the first wing member 2 and the second wing member 7 around the first inner pivot axis PXI1 and the second inner pivot axis PXI2, respectively. At the same time, the first bearing member 41 and the second bearing member 91 pivot relative to the first water drop plate 6 and the second water drop plate B around the first outer small virtual axis VXS1 and the second outer small virtual axis VXS2, respectively. The first link 5 and the second link A also pivot relative to the first wing member 2 and the second wing member 7 around the first outer pivot axis PXO1 and the second outer pivot axis PXO2, respectively. At the same time, the first link 5 and the second link A pivot relative to the first water drop plate 6 and the second water drop plate B around the first outer large virtual axis VXB1 and the second inner virtual axis PXO2, respectively. The system pivots around the virtual axis VXB2, meaning it gradually changes from a state where the upper surfaces of the first water droplet plate 6, the second water droplet plate B, the first top surface 25, the second top surface 75, and the upper surface 111 of the central base 1 are coplanar. This gradually changes to a state where the first water droplet plate 6 and the second water droplet plate B are obliquely intersecting the first top surface 25 and the second top surface 75, respectively, and then to a state where the first top surface 25 and the second top surface 75 are obliquely intersecting the upper surface 111 of the central base 1. Simultaneously, the first straight slider 33 and the second straight slider 83 slide linearly in the first straight groove 415 and the second straight groove 915 (sliding from one end of the groove to the other). This also causes the first rod body 31 and the second rod body 81 to pivot synchronously in opposite directions around the first axis X1 and the second axis X2, respectively. The first helical protrusion D3 and the second helical protrusion D4 also slide along the first helical groove D5 and the second helical groove D6, respectively. Simultaneously, the slider body D1 moves along the track groove 15 towards the fixed seat C1 (as shown). Figure 10 and Figure 17 (As shown).

[0112] Furthermore, the transformation of the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 from the unfolded state to the folded state is synchronous. Even when only the first panel body 4 is pivoted, the linear sliding of the first straight slider 33 in the first straight groove 415 causes the first rod body 31 to pivot about the first axis X1, causing the first helical protrusion D3 to slide along the first helical groove D5, and simultaneously causing the synchronous slider body D1 to move along the track groove 15 towards the fixed seat C1 (e.g., Figure 10 and Figure 17As shown, during the movement of the synchronous slider D1, the second helical protrusion D4 slides along the second helical groove D6, causing the second rod 81 to pivot about the second axis X2 (in the opposite direction to the first rod 31), and causing the second straight slider 83 to slide linearly in the second straight groove 915, thereby generating the aforementioned related linkage, thereby enabling the second panel body 9 to pivot synchronously. Similarly, if only the second panel body 9 is moved, the first panel body 4 will also pivot synchronously; the relevant details will not be elaborated further. During the transition from the unfolded state to the folded state of the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9, the first rod 31 and the second rod 81 pivot in opposite directions simultaneously, causing the first stop 312 and the first stop washer C6 to rub against the opposite sides of the first wing C12 at the same time, and the second stop 812 and the second stop washer C8 to rub against the opposite sides of the second wing C13 at the same time. In this way, the first support member 41 and the second support member 91 can stop at any angle, which is between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.

[0113] Additionally, when the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 are in the unfolded state, as Figure 13 As shown, a first distance L1 is defined between the first axis X1 and the first outer virtual axis VXB1, and a second distance L2 is defined between the second axis X2 and the second outer virtual axis VXB2. When the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 are in the folded state, as... Figure 16 As shown, a first distance L1' is defined between the first axis X1 and the first outer virtual axis VXB1, and a second distance L2' is defined between the second axis X2 and the second outer virtual axis VXB2. When the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 change from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first arc-shaped slide 51 and the second arc-shaped slide A1 move linearly outward in the first receiving groove 414 and the second receiving groove 914, respectively. The first distance L1 increases to the first distance L1', and the second distance L2 increases to the second distance L2', thereby making the first water drop plate 6 and the second water drop plate B further away from the central base 1.

[0114] Please see Figure 15 and Figure 16When the first panel body 4 and the second panel body 9 are in a folded state, the first water droplet plate 6 and the second water droplet plate B are obliquely intersecting the first top surface 25 and the second top surface 75, respectively. The first top surface 25 and the second top surface 75 are obliquely intersecting the upper surface 111 of the central base 1, respectively. At this time, the first water droplet plate 6 and the second water droplet plate B are close to each other at one end of the first support member 41 and the second support member 91, respectively. The first support member 41 and the second support member 91 are substantially sandwiched at 0 degrees. The bendable area E1 of the flexible screen E is flexed. The first wing member 2, the second wing member 7, the first water droplet plate 6, the second water droplet plate B, the body part 11 of the central base 1 and the top plate 16 together define an accommodating space S to accommodate the bendable area E1. In other words, because the first water droplet plate 6 and the second water droplet plate B are further away from the central base 1, the flexible screen E is lifted upward and away from the central base 1, thereby creating the space required for the bendable area E1 of the flexible screen E to bend. At this time, the first water droplet plate 6, the second water droplet plate B, the first curved surface 26, the second curved surface 76 and the central base 1 can be roughly teardrop-shaped (that is, the accommodating space S is teardrop-shaped), and the bendable area E1 can be partially attached to the first water droplet plate 6, the second water droplet plate B, the first curved surface 26, the second curved surface 76 and the central base 1.

[0115] Furthermore, from a mechanical point of view, this application is a modified version of the Stephenson II six-link design, such as... Figure 18 As shown, the left-hand mechanism analysis diagram is a Stephenson Type II six-link, and the right-hand mechanism analysis diagram is the present application. The present application converts one of the rotating pairs in the Stephenson Type II six-link into a sliding pair (corresponding to the combination of the first straight slider 33 and the first straight groove 415). That is to say, the body part 11, the first wing member 2, the first transmission member 3, the first bearing member 41, the first link 5, and the first water drop plate 6 essentially constitute a Stephenson Type II six-link with sliding replacing rotation, while the body part 11, the second wing member 7, the second transmission member 8, the second bearing member 91, the second link A, and the second water drop plate B essentially constitute another Stephenson Type II six-link with sliding replacing rotation.

[0116] In summary, the foldable electronic device of this application allows the first and second wings to pivot relative to the central base, the first and second support members to pivot relative to the first and second wings respectively, and the first and second connecting rods to pivot relative to the first and second wings respectively. This pivots the first water droplet plate relative to the first support member and the first connecting rod, and the second water droplet plate relative to the second support member and the second connecting rod. Simultaneously, it drives the first and second transmission members to pivot relative to the first and second support members respectively. The carrier slides linearly, causing the first and second rods to rotate synchronously. When the first and second panel bodies are in the unfolded state, the first wing, the second wing, the first water droplet plate, the second water droplet plate, and the central base together support the bendable area of ​​the flexible screen. When the screen is folded, the first and second water droplet plates move further away from the central base, which can lift the flexible screen upwards. In this way, together with the first wing, the second wing, and the central base, a sufficiently large accommodating space is effectively created to accommodate the bendable area.
