DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0052] The terms used in this disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. are merely used for distinguishing descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] In the related art, the support of the folding screen usually adopts an ultra-thin steel sheet bonded to the back of the flexible screen. However, as the thickness of the folding screen device becomes thinner and thinner, the bending radius of the water drop-shaped flexible screen is also getting smaller and smaller. The ultra-thin steel sheet bonded to the back of the flexible screen will cause a sharp increase in tangential force during the folding process of the flexible screen, causing the steel sheet to fall off and damage the screen.

[0055] In addition, due to the characteristics of ultra-thin steel sheets that are prone to wrinkling and deformation, when the flexible screen is bent, once the ultra-thin steel sheets are deformed, they may hit the flexible screen and cause abnormal noise. At the same time, the edges of the ultra-thin steel sheets scratching the semi-engraved area of ​​the flexible screen will also cause abnormal noise and have the risk of damaging the flexible screen.

[0056] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a folding screen module in which a support member is directly covered on a rotating shaft component. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structural schematic diagrams of the folding state and the unfolded state of the folding screen module are respectively shown.

[0057] Specifically, the folding screen module includes a shaft component and a flexible screen 110 covered on the shaft component. The shaft component includes: a base assembly 120, a first support assembly 130 and a second support assembly 140, and the first support assembly 130 and the second support assembly 140 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the base assembly 120. A support member 150 is covered on at least part of the support surface of at least one of the base assembly 120, the first support assembly 130 and the second support assembly 140.

[0058] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the supporting surface in the embodiment of the present disclosure refers to the side facing the flexible screen 110 .

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a rotating shaft component in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the first supporting assembly 130 includes: a first floating plate 131 , a first fixing block 132 and a first synchronization rod 133 , wherein the first floating plate 131 is slidably connected to the first fixing block 132 , and the first fixing block 132 is slidably connected to the first synchronization rod 133 .

[0061] It should be noted that the first fixed block 132 is provided with a first floating plate 131 sliding groove and a first synchronization rod 133 sliding groove. Among them, a first slide bar is provided on the side of the first floating plate 131 away from the flexible screen, and the first slide bar is at least partially inserted into the sliding groove of the first floating plate 131, so that the first floating plate 131 can slide relative to the first fixed block 132. The first synchronization rod 133 is at least partially inserted into the sliding groove of the first synchronization rod 133, so that the first fixed block 132 can slide relative to the first synchronization rod 133.

[0062] The second supporting assembly 140 includes a second floating plate 141 , a second fixing block 142 and a second synchronization rod 143 , wherein the second floating plate 141 is slidably connected to the second fixing block 142 , and the second fixing block 142 is slidably connected to the second synchronization rod 143 .

[0063] It should be noted that the second fixed block 142 is provided with a second floating plate 141 sliding groove and a second synchronization rod 143 sliding groove. Among them, the second floating plate 141 is provided with a second slide bar on both sides away from the flexible screen, and the second slide bar is at least partially inserted into the sliding groove of the second floating plate 141, so that the second floating plate 141 can slide relative to the second fixed block 142. The second synchronization rod 143 is at least partially inserted into the sliding groove of the second synchronization rod 143, so that the second fixed block 142 can slide relative to the second synchronization rod 143.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first fixing block 132 may be fixedly connected to the first middle frame 210 , the second fixing block 142 may be fixedly connected to the second middle frame 220 , and the flexible screen cover is disposed on the first middle frame 210 and the second middle frame 220 .

[0065] The base frame assembly includes: a support plate 121 and a rotating mechanism 122 arranged on a side of the support plate 121 away from the flexible screen, and a first synchronization rod 133 and a second synchronization rod 143 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the rotating mechanism 122.

[0066] It should be noted that the rotating mechanism 122 may be a gear synchronization mechanism. The gear synchronization mechanism may be composed of an even number of gears, which are meshed in pairs, so that the two outermost gears can drive the first synchronization rod 133 and the second synchronization rod 143 to rotate simultaneously, thereby transferring the rotational motion to the first floating plate 131 and the second floating plate 141 through the first fixed block 132 and the second fixed block 142, respectively, so that the folding screen can be unfolded or folded.

[0067] Wherein, at least a portion of the supporting surface of at least one of the supporting plate 121 , the first floating plate 131 and the second floating plate 141 is covered with a supporting member.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the first floating plate 131 and the second floating plate 141 may also be directly hinged to opposite sides of the support plate 121 .

[0069] It should be understood that the structural description of the base frame assembly, the first support assembly 130, and the second support assembly 140 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is only used to illustrate the covering method between the support member and the above-mentioned components. In actual applications, the support member can be covered on the supporting surface of the base frame assembly, the first support assembly 130, and the second support assembly 140 of any structure, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the flexible screen 110 can be switched to a folded state by the first support assembly 130 and the second support assembly 140 rotating toward each other.

[0071] Exemplarily, when the flexible screen 110 is in the unfolded state, the first support assembly 130 and the second support assembly 140 can rotate toward each other to make the flexible screen 110 fold inward, that is, fold toward the side visible to the user, thereby switching the flexible screen 110 to the folded state.

[0072] When the flexible screen 110 is in a folded state, there is a gap between the support member 150 covering the base assembly 120 and the flexible screen 110 , thereby reducing the pressure on the flexible screen 110 and preventing the flexible screen 110 from being damaged.

[0073] In some embodiments, the support member 150 covering the base assembly 120 is further provided with a first vacant portion, and when the flexible screen 110 is in a folded state, the middle portion of the flexible screen 110 is located in the first vacant portion.

[0074] In other embodiments, a second making way portion cooperating with the first making way portion may be further provided on the base frame assembly 120, and when the flexible screen 110 is in a folded state, the middle portion of the flexible screen 110 is located in the second making way portion.

[0075] It should be noted that the first and second yielding portions in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be through holes, blind holes, or grooves, wire troughs and other structures, the purpose of which is to reduce the contact area between the middle part of the flexible screen 110 and the support member 150 and / or the base assembly 120, thereby reducing the pressure on the middle part of the flexible screen 110 in the folded state and improving the reliability of the screen module.

[0076] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The flexible screen 110 can be switched to the unfolded state by rotating the first support assembly 130 and the second support assembly 140 in opposite directions.

[0077] Exemplarily, when the flexible screen 110 is in a folded state, the first support assembly 130 and the second support assembly 140 can rotate in opposite directions to allow the flexible screen 110 covered on the first middle frame 210 and the second middle frame 220 to be smoothly unfolded, thereby restoring the folding screen to an unfolded state.

[0078] When the flexible screen 110 is in the unfolded state, the support member 150 covered on the base assembly 120 contacts the flexible screen 110, thereby supporting the flexible screen 110. On the one hand, by supporting the flexible screen 110, the crease on the user-visible side of the flexible screen 110 can be reduced to improve the user's viewing experience. On the other hand, by supporting the flexible screen 110, the pressure generated by the user through clicking, touching, or even accidentally falling during use can be buffered.

[0079] Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of a support member in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The support member 150 can be arranged between the rotating shaft component and the flexible screen to support the flexible screen in the folding screen module.

[0080] Specifically, the support member 150 may include a support layer 151 and a connection layer 152. The first surface of the connection layer 152 is covered on the first surface of the support layer 151, and the second surface of the connection layer 152 is covered on at least a portion of the support surface of at least one of the following components: the base frame component, the first support component, and the second support component.

[0081] The support layer 151 can provide a certain supporting force for the flexible screen, and the connecting layer 152 is used to connect the support layer 151 to at least a portion of the supporting surface of at least a portion of the components of the rotating shaft component.

[0082] In some embodiments, the support layer 151 may be made of a flexible support material to protect and support the flexible screen. The support layer 151 may provide a soft buffering medium for the flexible screen, ensuring that the flexible screen has sufficient support when subjected to external forces, thereby preventing the flexible screen from being damaged.

[0083] Exemplarily, the support layer 151 may be at least one of a foam layer, rubber and silicone.

[0084] The thickness of the support layer 151 can be set according to the gap between the flexible screen and the rotating shaft component. When the gap between the flexible screen and the rotating shaft component is large, the thickness of the support layer 151 can be appropriately increased, and vice versa, the thickness of the support layer 151 can be appropriately reduced. It should be understood that the thickness of the support layer 151 is preferably sufficient to support the flexible screen.

[0085] In some embodiments, the thickness of the support layer 151 can be changed by stacking materials. For example, when the support layer 151 is a foam layer, the thickness of the support layer 151 can be flexibly changed by increasing or decreasing the number of foam layers. Of course, a single foam layer of different thicknesses can also be directly selected as the support layer 151, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0086] In some embodiments, the support layer 151 can completely cover the side of the rotating shaft component facing the flexible screen to prevent the rotating shaft component from wearing the flexible screen. In other words, the shape of the support layer 151 can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the rotating shaft component.

[0087] In some embodiments, the shape of the support layer 151 can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the shaft component, and the shaft component is usually composed of multiple different components. Therefore, the support layer 151 can be designed in a split type, so that each part of the support layer 151 covers at least part of the support surface of different components of the shaft component.

[0088] It should be noted that the profile of the connection layer 152 can be the same as the profile of the support layer 151, and the connection layer 152 is directly attached to the support layer 151. In other words, the connection layer 152 can bond the support layer 151 to the corresponding support surface.

[0089] In some embodiments, the connection layer 152 may be made of any adhesive material, such as a substrate-free adhesive, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0090] In some embodiments, the support member 150 further includes an anti-wear layer 153 , and the anti-wear layer 153 is covered on the second surface of the support layer 151 .

[0091] It should be noted that the profile of the anti-wear layer 153 may be the same as the profile of the support layer 151 , and the anti-wear layer 153 is directly bonded to the support layer 151 .

[0092] In some embodiments, the anti-wear layer 153 may include at least one of Teflon and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) mesh to prevent the flexible screen from being damaged due to friction during contact with the support layer 151 .

[0093] For example, the anti-wear layer 153 may be a Teflon layer. Teflon is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has a self-lubricating effect and can ensure that the flexible screen will not be damaged due to friction when it contacts the support layer 151 during the bending process.

[0094] Since the profile of the anti-wear layer 153 is the same as that of the support layer 151, and the support layer 151 can be designed in a split form, the anti-wear layer 153 can also be designed in a split form, thereby preventing a large piece of complete and smooth anti-wear layer 153 from adsorbing the back side of the flexible screen, causing the flexible screen to be damaged due to adsorption. The back side of the flexible screen is the side that is not visible to the user during use, that is, the side in contact with the anti-wear layer 153.

[0095] It can be understood that the first surface of the connection layer 152 in the embodiment of the present disclosure refers to the side of the connection layer 152 facing the flexible screen, and the second surface of the connection layer 152 refers to the side of the connection layer 152 facing the shaft component. The first surface of the support member 150 refers to the side of the support member 150 facing the shaft component, and the second surface of the support member 150 refers to the side of the support member 150 facing the flexible screen.

[0096] It should be understood that the support layer 151, the anti-wear layer 153 and the connecting layer 152 in the embodiment of the present disclosure are all solid layers with a certain thickness, thereby extending the service life of the support member 150. In addition, the support layer 151, the anti-wear layer 153 and the connecting layer 152 are all flexible layers, which can prevent the support member 150 from wearing the flexible screen, or causing interference and abnormal noise in the folding process of the flexible screen.

[0097] In addition, the support member 150 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be directly obtained by flat knife processing, that is, the processing can be completed by cutting the stacked support layer 151, anti-wear layer 153 and connection layer 152 once. Compared with the ultra-thin steel sheet support member obtained by etching in the related art, it can not only save a lot of raw material costs, but also save processing costs.

[0098] Combination of the above Figures 1 to 4 The folding screen module provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail. Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides an electronic device, including Figures 1 to 4 The folding screen module shown.

[0099] The electronic device may be any folding screen device, including but not limited to any electronic device that can apply the above folding screen module, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a flexible wearable device, etc. The form of the electronic device is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0100] Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides a folding screen support assembly jig, which is used to Figures 1 to 4 The support member in the folding screen module shown is assembled on the hinge member.

[0101] like Figure 5As shown, the assembly jig includes: a jig plate 310, a placement groove 311 is provided on the upper side of the jig plate, a first positioning column 312 is provided in the placement groove 311, and the first positioning column 312 is used to position the support member. The support member includes a support layer, an anti-wear layer and a connecting layer. The specific structure can be referred to Figure 4 For the sake of simplicity, the supporting members shown are not described in detail.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 6 In order to enable the support member to be accurately positioned in the assembly jig and prevent the anti-wear layer 153 of the support member (including the connecting layer 152, the supporting layer 151 and the anti-wear layer 153) from being worn during the assembly process, a release film 400 is further provided on the outer side of the anti-wear layer 153 of the support member in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0103] Specifically, the release film 400 can prevent the wear of the anti-wear layer 153. In addition, by providing positioning holes on the release film 400 that match the first positioning posts, the position of the support member can be kept fixed in the assembly jig.

[0104] When the support member is placed in the placement groove, the first positioning column penetrates into the positioning hole, and the release film 400 contacts the bottom of the placement groove.

[0105] Exemplarily, the profile of the release film 400 is larger than the profile of the anti-wear layer 153 of the support member, so as to protect the anti-wear layer 153. In addition, since the profiles of the support layer 151, the anti-wear layer 153 and the connecting layer 152 of the support member are the same. Therefore, by making the profile of the release film 400 larger than the profiles of each layer in the support member, the positioning holes provided on the release film 400 will not interfere with the support member itself. In other words, the positioning holes should be provided at a position where the release film 400 does not contact the anti-wear layer 153.

[0106] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In order for the positioning holes and the first positioning posts 312 to play a positioning role, the number of the positioning holes and the number of the first positioning posts 312 should be at least two.

[0107] It should be noted that the placement groove 311 is used to place the support member, and the connection layer of the support member is placed upward so that the shaft component can be bonded thereto. The depth of the placement groove 311 can be the same as the thickness of the support member so as to achieve the best assembly effect.

[0108] In some embodiments, a bottom plate 320 is further provided on the lower side of the jig plate 310, and the bottom plate 320 is connected to the jig plate 310 via an elastic connector 321 (e.g., a spring assembly). Since the assembly jig presses the shaft component downward toward the support component, the two are bonded. Therefore, the elastic connector 321 can provide a supporting force for the support component in the direction of the shaft component during the pressing process, thereby ensuring that the shaft component and the support component fit tightly.

[0109] In some embodiments, a second positioning column 313 is further provided on the upper side of the jig plate 310 , and the second positioning column 313 is used to position the shaft component, thereby ensuring that the shaft component remains aligned with the support member during the assembly process.

[0110] Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides a method for assembling a folding screen support.

[0111] Specifically, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a process flow of a folding screen support assembly method in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method is applied to Figure 6 As shown in the assembly jig. Figure 7 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0112] S701, placing the support member in the placement groove, and allowing the first positioning column to penetrate into the positioning hole.

[0113] It should be noted that, for the support member placed in the placement groove, one side of the release film is in direct contact with the bottom of the placement groove.

[0114] S702, placing the rotating shaft component on the upper side of the support.

[0115] S703, press down the shaft component to make the support member adhere to the shaft component, and complete the assembly of the support member. In some embodiments, before placing the support member in the placement groove, a release paper can be attached to the outer side of the connection layer of the support member to prevent the connection layer from losing its stickiness or accidentally sticking to other components during operation.

[0116] At this time, before placing the rotating shaft component on the upper side of the support member, the method further includes: peeling off the release paper.

[0117] In some embodiments, a second positioning column is further provided on the upper side of the fixture plate.

[0118] At this time, the above S702 specifically includes: placing the rotating shaft component and the second positioning column on the upper side of the support member in cooperation with each other, so that the rotating shaft component is aligned with the support member.

[0119] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0120] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0121] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
