Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic products, and in particular to a foldable flexible screen device. Background Art
[0002] As an application technology of OLED, flexible screens have made significant progress in recent years. Compared with rigid screens, flexible screens have significant advantages, such as being lighter and thinner, with lower power consumption. In addition, thanks to the bendability and good flexibility of flexible screens, the application scenarios of flexible screens are becoming more and more extensive. For example, the bendability of flexible screens can be used to carry smart mobile devices, which can switch the device screen between the folded state and the unfolded state. Folding screens can be divided into inward folding screens and outward folding screens, and the difference lies in whether the screen is on the inside or outside after folding. Whether it is inward folding or outward folding, the folding and opening of folding screen devices is generally achieved through a hinge.
[0003] Several patents previously applied for by the inventor, such as CN217061309U and CN217814518U, all disclose technical solutions for hinges that can be used for flexible folding screens. However, they are all hinges driven by mechanical structures, in which the damping mechanism is a necessary component, has many constituent elements and relies on friction in the parts to generate resistance, resulting in many parts and complicated assembly. In addition, the metal parts selected to meet the wear resistance requirements are heavy in themselves, resulting in an overweight overall structure. During actual use, for example, when used as a hinge for a folding electronic device, the user experience is poor, which is inconsistent with the lightweight requirements of the electronic device.

[0050] The foldable flexible screen device of the present invention can be used as both an external folding device and an internal folding device, and in both the internal and external folding scenarios, the change in the length of the support area required for the flexible screen during the repeated opening and closing of the screen can be effectively bridged, so that the flexible screen will not be stretched in the folded state, and can be well supported in the unfolded state, thereby slowing down the deformation of the flexible screen during long-term use and extending the service life of the device. When the device is in the internal folding state, a larger bending radius can be provided for the flexible screen in the folded state, further avoiding the generation of creases on the flexible screen during the repeated opening and closing of the device, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, a motor is used to replace a mechanical shaft mechanism with a damping component to realize the rotational drive of the two rotating middle frames in the device, which can not only greatly reduce the number of parts, but also select lightweight parts to replace the metal parts that originally required wear resistance, thereby greatly reducing the overall weight of the device, meeting the lightweight requirements of electronic equipment and improving user experience; In addition, the sliding block is used to realize the motion transmission between the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod, and the consistency of the rotation angle and path of the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod is realized with a simple structure, thereby improving the consistency and stability of the path of the first middle frame and the second middle frame connected to the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod in the whole process of repeated opening and closing; Furthermore, the folding and unfolding states of the first middle frame and the second middle frame connected to the linkage rod can be locked to avoid unnecessary deflection of the first middle frame and the second middle frame when subjected to external force during use, thereby improving the user experience.
