Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In the design of the main screen of foldable electronic devices, the edges of the main screen are the wiring area and structurally weak areas. To prevent damage to the main screen edges from pressure or impacts that could lead to screen distortion or other abnormalities, a decorative ring is usually designed at the main screen edge to protect this area. In conventional manufacturing processes, the decorative ring is fixed to the frame using adhesive. The left and right sides of the foldable electronic device are connected by hinges. When dropped, the left and right sides are squeezed and misaligned, causing the edges of the through-hole area of ​​the main screen to arch. Because the decorative ring presses down on the main screen to prevent it from arching, it further squeezes the edges of the main screen, causing panel failure due to pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to provide an electronic device that at least solves the problem of pressure failure of the main screen panel when it is dropped.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] This application provides an electronic device, including:

[0006] The device includes a display screen, a first frame, and a second frame. The first frame and the second frame are rotatably connected by a hinge assembly to allow the electronic device to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. The display screen is disposed on one side surface of the first frame and the second frame.

[0007] A first decorative component and a second decorative component, wherein the first decorative component is used to press the display screen onto the first frame, and the second decorative component is used to press the display screen onto the second frame, wherein one of the first decorative component and the second decorative component is provided with a first guide structure, and the other is provided with a second guide structure;

[0008] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are engaged, the first decorative member can move away from the first frame, and the second decorative member can move away from the second frame; when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are separated, and both the first decorative member and the second decorative member can move away from the hinge assembly.

[0009] In this embodiment, the first decorative member is used to press the display screen onto the first frame, and the second decorative member is used to press the display screen onto the second frame. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are engaged, and the first decorative member can move away from the first frame, and the second decorative member can move away from the second frame. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are separated, and both the first decorative member and the second decorative member can move away from the hinge assembly. Thus, when the electronic device falls, the display screen can move together with the first and second decorative members, so that the movement of the display screen is not restricted by the first and second decorative members, which can reduce the force on the display screen and thus reduce the possibility of display screen failure.

[0035] The following is combined Figure 1 - Figure 12DThis application describes an electronic device as described in an embodiment. Specifically, the electronic device may include: a display screen, a first frame 11 and a second frame 12, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 being rotatably connected by a hinge assembly to allow the electronic device to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state; the display screen being disposed on one surface of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12; a first decorative member 41 and a second decorative member 42, the first decorative member 41 being used to press the display screen onto the first frame 11, and the second decorative member 42 being used to press the display screen onto the second frame 12; wherein the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42... One of the components is provided with a first guide structure 411, and the other with a second guide structure 421. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 are engaged, the first decorative component 41 can move away from the first frame 11, and the second decorative component 42 can move away from the second frame 12. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 are separated, and both the first decorative component 41 and the second decorative component 42 can move away from the hinge assembly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first decorative member 41 is used to press the display screen onto the first frame 11, and the second decorative member 42 is used to press the display screen onto the second frame 12. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 are engaged, and the first decorative member 41 can move away from the first frame 11, and the second decorative member 42 can move away from the second frame 12. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 are separated, and both the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 can move away from the hinge assembly. Thus, when the electronic device falls, the display screen can move the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 together, so that the movement of the display screen is not restricted by the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42, which can reduce the force on the display screen and thus reduce the possibility of display screen failure.

[0037] The electronic devices described in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, computers, laptops, and smart wearable devices. The electronic device may have a height direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction. This application embodiment uses a first direction to describe the width direction of the electronic device, a second direction to describe the thickness direction, and a third direction to describe the height direction, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the width direction can be the X-axis direction, and the thickness direction can be the Z-axis direction.

[0038] Specifically, the electronic device includes a display screen and a first frame 11 and a second frame 12 hinged together by a hinge assembly. The display screen is disposed on one side surface of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. The first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are rotatably connected by the hinge assembly, which can cause the display screen to unfold or fold, allowing the electronic device to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the size of the electronic device is reduced, making it easier to store and carry; in the unfolded state, the size of the electronic device is larger, resulting in a larger display screen and improved display effect.

[0039] Specifically, the hinge assembly can be connected between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. The hinge assembly may include a hinge cover. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the hinge cover abuts against the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 respectively. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the hinge cover is separated from the first frame 11 and the second frame 12.

[0040] Specifically, the electronic device further includes a first decorative element 41 and a second decorative element 42. The first decorative element 41 can be correspondingly arranged with the first frame 11 and is used to press the display screen onto the first frame 11. The second decorative element 42 can be correspondingly arranged with the second frame 12 and is used to press the display screen onto the second frame 12.

[0041] Specifically, one of the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 is provided with a first guide structure 411, and the other is provided with a second guide structure 421. The first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 are disposed on both sides of the hinge assembly; the first guide structure 411 is disposed at the end of the first decorative piece 41 near the hinge assembly, and the second guide structure 421 is disposed at the end of the second decorative piece 42 near the hinge assembly, so that the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 can be disposed between the first frame and the second frame. In this way, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, it is easy to realize the engagement of the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421; when the electronic device is in the folded state, it is easy to realize the separation of the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figures 12A to 12D As shown, the electronic device moves from a folded state to an unfolded state, and the first decorative component 41 and the second decorative component 42 move along the movement trajectory of the first frame and the second frame. After reaching a certain angle, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 can be riveted together, and after a rotational movement, they are flattened.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first guiding structure 411 may be disposed at the end of the first decorative member 41 close to the hinge assembly or in a region close to this end, and the second guiding structure 421 may be disposed at the end of the second decorative member 42 close to the hinge assembly or in a region close to this end.

[0044] Specifically, the first decorative member 41 may be a decorative ring structure, and the second decorative member 42 may also be a decorative ring structure, such that the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 are only used for pressing the edge of the display screen, so as to avoid affecting the display effect of the display screen. Further, the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 may be U-shaped structures with opposite opening directions, and the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 may enclose to form a "square" - shaped structure. The cooperation of the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 can decorate the circumference of the display screen and improve the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0045] Specifically, the first decorative member 41 may be an integrally formed structure, or the first decorative member 41 may also be a split structure. The second decorative member 42 may be arranged by referring to the first decorative member 41, and the structures of the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 may be the same or different, etc. The first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 may be symmetrically arranged relative to the hinge assembly.

[0046] Specifically, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first guiding structure 411 and the second guiding structure 421 are snap - connected to form a whole, so that the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 are connected as a whole to achieve synchronous movement. Further, when the electronic device in the unfolded state falls, it is easy for the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to be squeezed or displaced, causing the through - hole area and the semi - etched area of the display screen to arch, resulting in a tendency for the middle area of the display screen to arch. Since the first decorative member 41 can move in a direction away from the first housing 11 and the second decorative member 42 can move in a direction away from the second housing 12, under the cooperation of the first guiding structure 411 and the second guiding structure 421, the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 simultaneously arch upward along the Figure 3 direction indicated by the arrow in the figure, so that the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 are both linked with the display screen, which can reduce the stress in the through - hole area and the semi - etched area of the display screen and can avoid the middle area of the display screen from being damaged by force.

[0047] Specifically, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first guiding structure 411 and the second guiding structure 421 are separated, so that the first decorative member 41 and the second decorative member 42 move independently. Further, when the electronic device in the folded state falls, the hinge assembly is stressed, and the semi - etched area of the display screen arches, as shown in Figure 12AThe display screen has an upward tendency to move. Since both the first decorative element 41 and the second decorative element 42 can move away from the hinge assembly, that is, both the first decorative element 41 and the second decorative element 42 can move upward with the display screen, the deformation of the display screen is not restricted, the pressure on the half-etched area of ​​the display screen can be reduced, thereby reducing the stress in the half-etched area of ​​the display screen.

[0048] Specifically, when the electronic device is dropped in an unfolded or folded state, the display screen arches, and the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 can move together with the display screen, thereby realizing the linkage between the display screen and the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42. In this way, the display screen is not restricted by the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42, which can avoid the display screen being pressured and reduce the possibility of display screen failure.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, one of the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 has a guide head 4111 and the other has an arc groove 4211. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the guide head 4111 is embedded in the arc groove 4211, which can improve the reliability of the limiting connection between the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421.

[0050] Specifically, the guide head 4111 can also rotate within the arc groove 4211 to improve the reliability of the first decorative element 41 moving away from the first frame 11 and the reliability of the second decorative element 42 moving away from the second frame 12.

[0051] Optionally, the first decorative element 41 includes a first body 412, the second decorative element 42 includes a second body 422, the first guide structure 411 has a first guide rod 4112, and the second guide structure 421 has a second guide rod 4212; one end of the first guide rod 4112 is connected to the first body 412, and the other end is provided with a guide head 4111; one end of the second guide rod 4212 is connected to the second body 422, and the other end is provided with an arc-shaped groove 4211; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the included angle between the first guide rod and the second guide rod 4212 is less than 180°.

[0052] In this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the included angle between the first guide rod 4112 and the second guide rod 4212 is less than 180°. Thus, when at least a portion of the guide head 4111 is embedded in the arc-shaped groove 4211, achieving the engagement between the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421, the first guide rod 4112 can apply a pushing force to the arc-shaped groove 4211 through the guide head 4111, thereby pushing the second decorative piece 42 to move upward.

[0053] Specifically, the included angle between the first guide rod 4112 and the second guide rod 4212 can be 120°, 130°, 150°, 170°, etc.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figures 11A to 11C As shown, both the first guide rod 4112 and the second guide rod 4212 are tilted towards the display screen. This allows the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 to be lifted upwards simultaneously when the display screen is tilted upwards. In this embodiment, when the electronic device falls in its unfolded state, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 are both tilted towards the display screen, and their limiting connection allows the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 to move synchronously, preventing the display screen from being pulled and reducing stress. When the electronic device falls in its folded state, the first guide structure 411 and the second guide structure 421 separate, preventing mutual restraint between the first and second decorative pieces, avoiding jamming, and thus preventing stress on the display screen.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figures 11A to 11C As shown, during the drop of the electronic device in its unfolded state, the display screen arches in the through-hole area and the half-etched area. Due to the inertia of the drop, the end of the first decorative piece 41 away from the first guide structure continues to move downward, causing the first guide structure 411 to exert a force F on the second guide structure 421. Since the first guide structure 411 is tilted towards the display screen, the force F is decomposed into F1 and F2. Under the action of the component force F1, the end of the first decorative piece 41 near the first guide structure arches upward. The component force F2 on the second decorative piece 42 is decomposed into F4, pushing the end of the second decorative piece 42 near the second guide structure 421 to arch upward, so that the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 arch together, achieving the purpose of preventing the display screen from being squeezed at the arched position.

[0056] In some optional embodiments of this application, the first decorative member 41 is provided with a first connecting portion 21 on the side facing the first frame 11, and the first frame 11 is provided with a second connecting portion 22 extending along a first direction; and / or, the second decorative member 42 is provided with a first connecting portion 21 on the side facing the second frame 12, and the second frame 12 is provided with a second connecting portion 22 extending along the first direction; the first direction is parallel to the direction from the first frame 11 to the hinge assembly, and the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are slidably connected.

[0057] In this embodiment of the application, the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are slidably connected, which can improve the reliability of the relative movement between the first decorative part 41 and the first frame 11, as well as the reliability of the relative movement between the second decorative part 42 and the second frame 12. This can improve the smoothness of the movement of the first decorative part 41 and / or the second decorative part 42, effectively ensure that the movement of the display screen is unrestricted, and reduce the stress on the display screen.

[0058] Specifically, the first direction is parallel to the direction from the first frame 11 to the hinge assembly, so that when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first connecting part 21 can drive the first decorative part 41 to move away from the hinge assembly, and / or, the first connecting part 21 can drive the second decorative part 42 to move away from the hinge assembly.

[0059] When the electronic device is in the folded state and is dropped, the display screen moves upward, and both the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 move away from the hinge assembly, which can prevent the central area of ​​the display screen from being pulled.

[0060] Specifically, the first direction can be the width direction of the electronic device, the second connecting part 22 extends along the first direction, and the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are movably engaged, so that the first connecting part 21 can reciprocate linearly along the first direction. The first connecting part 21 can be movably connected to the second connecting part by means of sliding, rolling or meshing.

[0061] Optionally, the electronic device further includes an adapter 5, which is rotatably connected to the first connecting part 21 about a third direction, and the adapter 5 is slidably connected to the second connecting part 22, wherein the third direction intersects with the first direction.

[0062] In this embodiment, the adapter 5 is rotatably connected to the first connecting part 21 about a third direction, so that the first connecting part 21 can rotate relative to the adapter 5; the adapter 5 is slidably connected to the second connecting part 22, so that the adapter 5 can drive the first connecting part 21 to move along the first direction. In this way, while the first connecting part 21 moves linearly relative to the second connecting part 22, it can also rotate relative to the second connecting part 22, which can avoid the phenomenon of jamming in the movement of the first decorative part 41 and / or the second decorative part 42, improve the reliability of the synchronous movement of the first decorative part 41 and / or the second decorative part 42, and the implementation method is simple and convenient.

[0063] Specifically, the adapter 5 can slide along the first direction to connect to the second connecting part 22, which can drive the first connecting part 21 to move synchronously along the first direction. The first connecting part 21 can also rotate relative to the adapter 5 around a third direction. Thus, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state and is dropped, under the action of the first connecting part 21, the end of the first decorative piece 41 away from the first connecting part 21 moves away from the first frame 11 while also rotating relative to the first frame 11. Similarly, under the action of the first connecting part 21, the end of the second decorative piece 42 away from the first connecting part 21 moves away from the second frame 12 while also rotating relative to the second frame 12.

[0064] Furthermore, the first decorative component 41 and the second decorative component 42 can generate displacement within the planes containing the first and second directions, allowing the display screen to deform unrestricted in the first and second directions, thereby reducing the stress on the display screen and lowering the possibility of display screen failure. The third direction intersects the planes containing the first and second directions; however, this embodiment only illustrates the case where the third direction is perpendicular to the planes containing the first and second directions.

[0065] Specifically, the adapter 5 and the first connecting part 21 can also be regarded as a whole. This whole can be slidably connected to the second connecting part 22 along the first direction. When the electronic device is in the folded state and the electronic device is dropped, the whole of the first connecting part 21 and the adapter 5 can move away from the hinge structure, thereby enabling the first decorative part 41 and / or the second decorative part 42 to move away from the hinge assembly.

[0066] Specifically, the adapter 5 can be slidably connected to the second connecting part 22 by means of sliding, rolling or engaging.

[0067] Optionally, along the first direction, the first connecting portion 21 is disposed at the end of the first guide structure 411 or the second guide structure 421 away from the hinge assembly, so as to facilitate the movement of the end of the first decorative member 41 near the hinge assembly away from the first frame 11, and / or the end of the second decorative member 42 near the hinge assembly away from the second frame 12, which can prevent the middle area of ​​the display screen from being damaged by force.

[0068] Specifically, along the first direction, the first connecting part 21 and the first guide structure 411 can be arranged at intervals. The first connecting part 21 can be arranged on the side of the first guide structure 411 away from the hinge assembly. The distance between the first connecting part 21 and the first guide structure 411 in the first direction can be set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0069] Specifically, along the first direction, the first connecting part 21 and the second guide structure 421 can be arranged at intervals. The first connecting part 21 can be arranged on the side of the second guide structure 421 away from the hinge assembly. The distance between the first connecting part 21 and the second guide structure 421 in the first direction can be set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0070] Optionally, the second connecting part 22 can be a slide rail, and the adapter 5 can be a slider, which can be slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, the adapter 5 can be slidably connected to the second connecting part 22 along the first direction by the cooperation of the slider and the slide rail, which is simple and stable.

[0072] Specifically, the adapter 5 can be slidably connected to the second connecting part 22 along the first direction and can be rotatably connected to the first connecting part 21 around the third direction, so that the adapter 5 and the first decorative part 41 can be combined to form a slider linkage mechanism, which facilitates improving the reliability of the movement of the first decorative part 41, and / or, the adapter 5 and the second decorative part 42 can be combined to form a slider linkage mechanism, which facilitates improving the reliability of the movement of the second decorative part 42 and improving the structural stability of the electronic device.

[0073] Specifically, the slider and slide rail cooperate to form a sliding pair in the first direction, limiting the movement of the adapter 5 to only in the first direction. The shapes of the slider and slide rail are adapted to improve the stability and reliability of their cooperation. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The illustration shows a slide rail with a trapezoidal groove and a corresponding trapezoidal slider. In other cases, the slide rail can also be a U-shaped groove, and the corresponding slider can be a rectangular slider. The specific shapes of the slide rail and slider are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0074] Specifically, the displacement of the first decorative element 41 or the second decorative element 42 in the first direction can also be limited by limiting the length of the slide rail in the first direction.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the device body 2 also includes a connecting pin 6 extending along the third direction. The connecting pin 6 can pass through the adapter 5 and the first connecting part along the third direction respectively, and is rotatably connected to the adapter 5 and the first connecting part 21 around the third direction.

[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, the adapter 5 and the first connecting part 21 can be rotatably connected by the first connecting pin 6, which is simple and convenient.

[0077] Specifically, the first connecting part 21 may protrude from the side of the first decorative part 41 or the second decorative part 42 near the adapter 5. The adapter 5 is provided with a protrusion 51 on the side facing the first connecting part 21. The first connecting part 21 and the protrusion 51 may be provided with holes for the connecting pin 6 to be inserted, so as to hide the connecting pin 6 and improve the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0078] Optionally, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first decorative element 41 is provided with a first limiting part 71, the first frame 11 is provided with a second limiting part 72 extending along the second direction, and / or the second decorative element 42 is provided with a first limiting part 71, and the second frame 12 is provided with a second limiting part 72 extending along the second direction; the second direction is parallel to the direction from the first frame 11 to the display screen, and the first limiting part 71 and the second limiting part 72 are slidably connected, which facilitates the limiting and guiding effect on the movement of the first decorative element 41 / and / or the second decorative element 42 in the second direction, making the structure of the electronic device more stable.

[0079] Specifically, the second direction is parallel to the direction from the first frame 11 to the display screen, that is, the second direction is the thickness direction of the electronic device. The first decorative member 41 is provided with a first limiting part 71, and the first frame 11 is correspondingly provided with a second limiting part 72, such as... Figure 7 As shown, since the second limiting part 72 extends along the second direction, and the first limiting part 71 is slidably connected to the second limiting part 72, the first limiting part 71 can move along the second direction, thereby driving the first decorative part 41 to move away from the first frame 11. The displacement of the first decorative part 41 in the second direction can be limited by restricting the extension length of the second limiting part 72.

[0080] Similarly, the second decorative element 42 is provided with a first limiting part 71, and the second frame 12 is provided with a corresponding second limiting part 72, so that the second decorative element 42 can move in a direction away from the second frame 12. The displacement of the second decorative element 42 in the second direction can be limited by restricting the extension length of the second limiting part 72.

[0081] Furthermore, when the electronic device is in the folded state and falls, the display screen tends to move away from the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. Since the first decorative piece 41 can move away from the first frame 11 and the second decorative piece 42 can move away from the second frame 12, the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 do not restrict the movement of the display screen, thus preventing the display screen from being damaged by force.

[0082] Optionally, one of the first limiting part 71 and the second limiting part 72 can be a limiting groove, and the corresponding other can be a limiting post; at least part of the limiting post is embedded in the limiting groove, and the sliding cooperation between the limiting post and the limiting groove can effectively ensure the reliability of the movement of the first decorative part 41 and / or the second decorative part 42.

[0083] In some embodiments, one of the first limiting part 71 and the second limiting part 72 can be a slider, and the corresponding other can be a slide rail. The specific choice can be made according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] Specifically, such as Figures 11A to 11C As shown, during the drop of the electronic device in its unfolded state, the display screen arches in the through-hole area and the semi-etched area. The adapter 5 continues to move downward due to the inertia of the drop. Since the adapter 5 and the first connecting part 21 are connected as a whole by the connecting pin 6, the first connecting part 21 continues to move downward with the adapter 5, causing the first guide structure 411 to generate a force F. Since the first guide structure 411 is tilted towards the display screen, the force F is decomposed into F1 and F2. Under the action of the component force F1, the end of the first decorative piece 41 near the first guide structure 411 arches upward. The component force F2 is decomposed into F4 on the second guide structure 421, pushing the end of the second decorative piece 42 near the second guide structure to arch upward, so that the first decorative piece 41 and the second decorative piece 42 achieve linkage arching, so that the arched position of the display screen is not squeezed.

[0085] The electronic device described in this application has at least the following advantages:

[0086] In this embodiment, the first decorative member is used to press the display screen onto the first frame, and the second decorative member is used to press the display screen onto the second frame. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are engaged, and the first decorative member can move away from the first frame, and the second decorative member can move away from the second frame. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are separated, and both the first decorative member and the second decorative member can move away from the hinge assembly. Thus, when the electronic device falls, the display screen can move together with the first and second decorative members, so that the movement of the display screen is not restricted by the first and second decorative members, which can reduce the force on the display screen and thus reduce the possibility of display screen failure.
