Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Folding screen devices are currently a popular branch of electronic products on the market. The hinge is the core component that realizes the "folding" function, and damage to it often leads to the failure of the folding function.

[0003] In the related art, a virtual swing arm is provided on the base of the hinge, and the base is connected to the middle frame structure through the virtual swing arm to realize the rotation of the middle frame structure, thereby completing the folding action. When the folding screen device is in the "folded state", the virtual swing arm bears the force between the base and the middle frame structure.

[0004] Folding screen devices will be subjected to a large impact force when they fall, but the virtual swing arm is a functional part rather than a load-bearing part. The virtual swing arm is prone to structural deformation or even breakage under the action of impact force, resulting in technical problems such as easy damage to the hinge and short service life of the folding screen. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application aims to provide an electronic device that at least solves the technical problems of easy damage to the hinge and short service life of the folding screen.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0007] An embodiment of the present application proposes an electronic device, which includes: a hinge assembly, which includes a base and a swing arm, which is rotatably connected to the base; a folding body, which is connected to the swing arm, and the swing arm is used to drive the folding body to rotate relative to the base, so that the electronic device can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state; a rigid support assembly, which is arranged on the base; and an elastic support assembly, which is arranged on the folding body, and when the electronic device is in a folded state, the rigid support assembly and the elastic support assembly are opposite to each other in a first direction, and in the first direction, the elastic support assembly is located between the rigid support assembly and the swing arm; wherein, in the folded state, the folding bodies are stacked along a second direction, the axial direction of the rotating shaft of the folding bodies is a third direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction.

[0008] In this technical solution, the electronic device includes a rigid support component and an elastic support component. When the folding body is switched to a folded state, the elastic support component rotates to the top of the base together with the folding body. In a first direction, the elastic support component is opposite to the rigid support component on the base, and the elastic support component is located between the rigid support component and the swing arm. At this time, if the electronic device falls and collides, the elastic support component and the rigid support component can contact each other before stress is concentrated on the swing arm. The elastic support component and the rigid support component in contact with each other can play a supporting role between the base and the folding body, so that the impact force can be transmitted to the folding body through the elastic support component and the rigid support component in contact with each other, thereby realizing force sharing and reducing the force applied to the swing arm.

[0009] Specifically, when the folding body is switched to the folding state and the electronic device is not subjected to impact, the elastic support component and the rigid support component can be in contact in advance, or a gap can be left between the elastic support component and the rigid support component. When a gap is left, it is necessary to ensure through dimensional design that the elastic support component and the rigid support component are in contact before the impact force is concentrated on the swing arm.

[0010] It can be seen that when the electronic device falls, the present application can replace the swing arm to resist the impact force by means of elastic support components and rigid support components that are in contact with each other, thereby reducing the probability of structural deformation or even breakage of the swing arm, enhancing the structural stability of the swing arm, and thus solving the technical problem of easy damage to the hinge assembly.

[0011] Moreover, when impacted, the elastic force in the elastic support assembly can play a role of resistance, and after the impact ends, the elastic force can play a role of reset, thereby reducing the change in the gap between the folding body and the base, reducing the probability of irreversible deformation and extrusion failure during folding, and thus solving the technical problem of short service life of the folding screen.

[0029] Combine the following Figures 1 to 10 An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 includes: a hinge assembly 110, the hinge assembly 110 includes a base 112 and a swing arm 114, the swing arm 114 is rotatably connected to the base 112; a folding body 120, the folding body 120 is connected to the swing arm 114, and the swing arm 114 is used to drive the folding body 120 to rotate relative to the base 112, so that the electronic device 100 switches between the unfolded state and the folded state; a rigid support assembly 130, the rigid support assembly 130 is arranged on the base 112; an elastic The support component 140, the elastic support component 140 is arranged on the folding body 120, and when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the rigid support component 130 and the elastic support component 140 are opposite to each other in a first direction, and in the first direction, the elastic support component 140 is located between the rigid support component 130 and the swing arm 114; wherein, in the folded state, the folding body 120 is stacked along the second direction, the axial direction of the rotating axis of the folding body 120 is the third direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction.

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2 , arrow X shows the first direction.

[0032] Figure 1 and Figure 6 , arrow Y shows the third direction.

[0033] Figure 1 and Figure 2 , arrow Z shows the second direction.

[0034] In this embodiment, an electronic device 100 is proposed. The electronic device 100 has a folding function. Specifically, the electronic device 100 can adjust the area of ​​the display region through the folding function to meet the user's multi-scenario needs.

[0035] Specifically, the electronic device 100 includes a hinge assembly 110, a folding body 120 and a folding screen 160. The hinge assembly 110 includes a base 112, a swing arm 114 and a door panel. The first end of the swing arm 114 is connected to the rotating shaft on the base 112, and the second end of the swing arm 114 is connected to the door panel. The swing arm 114 is fixedly connected to the folding body 120 through the door panel. When the user bends the folding body 120, the swing arm 114 can drive the folding body 120 to flip relative to the base 112, thereby realizing the folding action of the folding body 120. The folding screen 160 is fixed on the folding body 120, and the folding body 120 can drive the folding screen 160 to open and close, so that the electronic device 100 can switch between the unfolded state and the folded state, wherein the axial direction of the rotating shaft connected to the swing arm 114 is the third direction, and the third direction corresponds to the length of the electronic device 100.

[0036] In the unfolded state, the two folding bodies 120 are laid flat and the folding screen 160 is unfolded. At this time, the screen size is large, which can meet the user's film and television needs and game needs. In the folded state, the two folding bodies 120 are stacked together along the second direction, and the folding screen 160 is buckled together. At this time, the screen size is reduced and the width of the whole device is reduced to facilitate the user to hold the electronic device 100. Specifically, the second direction corresponds to the thickness of the electronic device 100.

[0037] Specifically, the swing arm 114 connects the base 112 and the folding body 120 along a first direction, the first direction corresponds to the width of the electronic device 100, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the third direction. As the swing arm 114 rotates, the first direction changes accordingly. When the folding body 120 switches to the folded state, the swing arm 114 is located between the base 112 and the folding body 120 in the first direction, and the swing arm 114 is a load-bearing structure. At this time, if the electronic device 100 falls, the stress will be concentrated on the swing arm 114. If the swing arm 114 is damaged at this time, it will cause the electronic device 100 to fail, the hinge assembly 110 will fail, and the bending area of ​​the folding screen 160 will be irreversibly deformed.

[0038] In this regard, the electronic device 100 also includes a rigid support component 130 and an elastic support component 140. The rigid support component 130 is arranged on the base 112. The rigid support component 130 can be an integrated structure injection molded on the base 112. The rigid support component 130 can also be an independent structure connected to the base 112. The elastic support component 140 is connected to the folding body 120.

[0039] When the folding body 120 is switched to the folding state, the elastic support component 140 rotates to the top of the base 112 together with the folding body 120. In the first direction, the elastic support component 140 is opposite to the rigid support component 130 on the base 112, and the elastic support component 140 is located between the rigid support component 130 and the swing arm 114. At this time, if the electronic device 100 falls and collides, the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 can contact each other before the stress is concentrated on the swing arm 114. The elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 in contact with each other can play a supporting role between the base 112 and the folding body 120, so that the impact force can be transmitted to the folding body 120 through the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 in contact with each other, thereby realizing the force sharing and reducing the force applied to the swing arm 114.

[0040] Specifically, when the folding body 120 is switched to the folded state and the electronic device 100 is not subjected to impact, the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 can be in contact in advance, or a gap can be left between the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130. When a gap is left, it is necessary to ensure through dimensional design that the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 are in contact before the impact force is concentrated on the swing arm 114.

[0041] It can be seen that when the electronic device 100 falls, the present application can replace the swing arm 114 to resist the impact force by the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 that are in contact with each other, thereby reducing the probability of structural deformation or even breakage of the swing arm 114, enhancing the structural stability of the swing arm 114, and further solving the technical problem of the hinge component 110 being easily damaged.

[0042] Furthermore, when impacted, the elastic force in the elastic support assembly 140 can play a role of resistance, and after the impact ends, the elastic force can play a role of reset, thereby reducing the change in the gap between the folding body 120 and the base 112, reducing the probability of irreversible deformation and extrusion failure during folding, and thereby solving the technical problem of short service life of the folding screen 160.

[0043] Specifically, the elastic support component 140 is formed by a material that obtains a reverse elastic force after being impacted. The material needs to have a high elastic modulus to ensure that the elastic support component 140 is almost not deformed during the impact. Specifically, high-strength steel can be selected to form the elastic support component 140. Materials such as springs and rubber that produce elastic force when squeezed cannot be used to improve the protection effect of the folding screen 160.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the elastic support assembly 140 includes: an elastic bracket 144; a fixing component 146, connecting the elastic bracket 144 and the folding body 120; and a wear-resistant component 142, the wear-resistant component 142 is connected to the elastic bracket 144, and when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the wear-resistant component 142 is located between the elastic bracket 144 and the rigid support assembly 130.

[0045] Figure 8 In the figure, arrow a shows the force direction of the rigid support component 130, and arrow b shows the force direction of the elastic support component 140.

[0046] In this embodiment, the elastic support assembly 140 includes an elastic bracket 144 , a fixing component 146 and a wear-resistant component 142 .

[0047] The elastic bracket 144 is formed of a material with a relatively high elastic modulus, and the fixing component 146 and the wear-resistant component 142 are arranged on the elastic bracket 144. On the one hand, the elastic bracket 144 plays a role in positioning the wear-resistant component 142 and the fixing component 146. On the other hand, the elastic bracket 144 can replace the swing arm 114 to absorb part of the impact force when receiving an impact, so as to reduce the probability of the swing arm 114 being damaged due to the impact.

[0048] The fixing component 146 is used to connect the swing arm 114. The swing arm 114 is connected to the elastic bracket 144 through the fixing component 146, so that the elastic support assembly 140 can rotate along with the swing arm 114 to ensure that the elastic support assembly 140 can be aligned with the rigid support assembly in the first direction, ensuring that the elastic bracket 144 can absorb the impact force between the rigid support assembly 130 and the swing arm 114.

[0049] A wear-resistant component 142 is disposed on one side of the elastic bracket 144 facing the rigid support assembly 130 . Specifically, in the first direction, the wear-resistant component 142 is located between the elastic bracket 144 and the rigid support assembly 130 .

[0050] Specifically, the wear-resistant component 142 is formed of a material with low hardness and high ductility. The low hardness of the wear-resistant component 142 can prevent the rigid support assembly 130 from being damaged under multiple impacts, and the high ductility can prevent the wear-resistant component 142 from being torn under collision.

[0051] Specifically, the wear-resistant component 142 includes a copper foil, which is attached to the outer surface of the elastic bracket 144 .

[0052] When the electronic device 100 is impacted, the wear-resistant component 142 can replace the elastic bracket 144 to contact the rigid support component 130, thereby protecting the rigid support component 130, enabling the rigid support component 130 to effectively support the folding body 120 for a long time, thereby achieving the technical effect of extending the service life of the hinge assembly 110 and the folding screen 160.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the distance between the wear-resistant component 142 and the rigid support component 130 in the first direction ( Figure 7 The range of L1 is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the folding body 120 is in the folded state and the electronic device 100 is not impacted, the wear-resistant component 142 and the rigid support assembly 130 are spaced apart in the first direction, and after being impacted, the two are displaced and contact each other.

[0055] By separating the rigid support component 130 and the wear-resistant component 142 in an unstressed state, on the one hand, the loss of the rigid support component 130 can be reduced and the life of the rigid support component 130 can be extended. On the other hand, the wear-resistant component 142 and the rigid support component 130 that are in contact with each other can be prevented from increasing the rotational resistance of the folding body 120, thereby extending the life of the rigid support component 130 and optimizing the folding experience of the electronic device 100.

[0056] On this basis, the distance between the wear-resistant component 142 and the rigid support assembly 130 in the first direction needs to be greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm. By limiting the distance range to the above interval, the folding body 120 can be prevented from excessively squeezing the folding screen 160 during the downward movement, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the folding screen 160 and achieving the technical effect of extending the life of the folding screen 160.

[0057] like Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the side of the rigid support component 130 facing the elastic support component 140 includes a groove 132; when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the wear-resistant component 142 is at least partially located in the groove 132.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the folding body 120 is in a folded state, a groove 132 is provided at one end of the rigid support component 130 facing the elastic support component 140, and the shape of the groove 132 is adapted to the shape of the end of the elastic bracket 144 facing the rigid support component 130, and the shape of the groove 132 is adapted to the shape of the wear-resistant part 142.

[0059] When the wear-resistant component 142 contacts the rigid support assembly 130 due to impact, the wear-resistant component 142 and part of the elastic bracket 144 are embedded in the groove 132, so that the elastic bracket 144 is buckled and limited by the groove 132, and the specific direction of the buckling and limiting is the second direction.

[0060] By providing a groove 132 on the rigid support component 130, the folding body 120 can be prevented from slipping at the moment of falling. On the one hand, the deformation of the folding screen 160 when falling is reduced. On the other hand, it ensures that the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 can share the force on the swing arm 114 through contact, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the failure rate of the hinge component 110 and extending the service life of the folding screen 160.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, in the second direction, the depth of the middle portion of the groove 132 is greater than the depth of the two ends.

[0062] In this embodiment, the groove 132 is in an arc shape; specifically, in the second direction, the depth of the middle portion of the groove 132 is greater than the depths of both ends of the groove 132 .

[0063] The depth of the groove 132 ( Figure 8 The range of L2 is: greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0064] By providing an arc-shaped groove 132, the wear between the wear-resistant component 142 and the rigid support component 130 can be reduced while ensuring that the groove 132 can provide reliable limiting, thereby reducing the probability of the two being stuck, allowing the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 to contact smoothly when impacted, and allowing the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 to reset smoothly after the impact.

[0065] On this basis, the depth of the groove 132 in the first direction corresponds to the reverse buckle amount of the snap-fit ​​limit. By limiting the reverse buckle amount to a range greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm, it is beneficial to improve the reliability of the snap-fit ​​limit and reduce the probability of misalignment problems in the folding body 120.

[0066] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the rigid support assembly 130 includes: a baffle 134, which is connected to the base 112; a stopper 136, which is arranged on a side of the baffle 134 close to the wear-resistant component 142; wherein, when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the baffle 134 is arranged opposite to the wear-resistant component 142 and the elastic bracket 144 in a third direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the rigid support assembly 130 includes a baffle 134 and a stopper 136. The baffle 134 is connected to the base 112 and is located at the end of the base 112 in the third direction. The stopper 136 is connected to the base 112 and is disposed on one side of the baffle 134 close to the wear-resistant component 142.

[0068] After assembly, the stopper 136 and the wear-resistant component 142 are opposite to each other in the first direction, the groove 132 is arranged at one end of the stopper 136 facing the wear-resistant component 142, and the wear-resistant component 142 is located between the stopper 136 and the elastic bracket 144 in the first direction. When the electronic device 100 is subjected to external impact, the stopper 136 contacts the wear-resistant component 142, so that the force generated by the impact is absorbed by the elastic bracket 144, thereby reducing the force on the swing arm 114 and reducing the failure rate of the swing arm 114.

[0069] The baffle 134 can provide shielding protection for the block 136 and the bracket, preventing the wear-resistant component 142 and the block 136 from being dislocated due to external impact, thereby improving the supporting effect of the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130. At the same time, the baffle 134 can prevent the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 from being exposed to the outside, avoiding a sense of abruptness, and achieving the basic effect of improving the appearance of the electronic device 100.

[0070] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, in the third direction, the rigid support assembly 130 is disposed at both ends of the base 112 .

[0071] In this embodiment, two rigid support components 130 are provided on the base 112, and in the third direction, the two rigid support components 130 are provided at the head and tail ends of the base 112. The rigid support components 130 provided at the head and tail ends can form double-end positioning between the swing arm 114 and the base 112, thereby enhancing the supporting effect on the folding body 120, allowing the external force to be smoothly transmitted from the rigid support component 130 and the elastic support component 140 to the folding body 120, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the swing arm 114.

[0072] At the same time, the baffles 134 at the front and rear ends of the base 112 form part of the outer surface of the electronic device 100, which serves to shield the elastic support component 140 and the swing arm 114, thereby improving the integrity of the exposed surface of the electronic device 100 and avoiding the abrupt feeling caused by the elastic support component 140 and the swing arm 114.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, in the third direction, the elastic support assembly 140 is located between the rigid support assembly 130 and the swing arm 114 .

[0074] In this embodiment, in the third direction, the elastic support component 140 is located between the rigid support component 130 and the swing arm 114. When there is an angle between the third direction and the ground where the hinge falls, the elastic support component 140 can contact the rigid support component 130 before the swing arm 114, thereby resisting the impact force through the elastic support component 140, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the failure rate of the swing arm 114 and extending the service life of the hinge component 110.

[0075] Specifically, a plurality of rigid support components 130 are disposed on the base 112 , and in the third direction, the plurality of rigid support components 130 are disposed at intervals, and the swing arm 114 is interspersed between two adjacent rigid support components 130 .

[0076] For example, two rigid support components 130 are set at the head and tail ends of the base 112. The rigid support components 130 at the head and tail ends can form part of the outer surface of the electronic device 100, play the role of shielding the elastic support component 140 and the swing arm 114, thereby improving the integrity of the exposed surface of the electronic device 100 and avoiding the abrupt feeling caused by the elastic support component 140 and the swing arm 114.

[0077] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, in the third direction, the distance between the rigid support component 130 and the elastic support component 140 ( Fig. 9 The range of L3 is: greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0078] In this embodiment, the spacing between the rigid support component 130 and the elastic support component 140 in the third direction is the theoretical collision distance between the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 in the third direction. Compared with the first direction and the second direction, the jumping distance between the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 in the third direction is smaller. By limiting the above theoretical collision distance to a range greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm, the structural compactness of the electronic device 100 can be improved on the basis of providing effective protection for the folding screen 160, thereby providing convenient conditions for the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100.

[0079] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, in the second direction, the distance between the rigid support component 130 and the elastic support component 140 ( Figure 7 The range of L4 is: greater than or equal to 0.6 mm and less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0080] In this embodiment, the distance between the rigid support component 130 and the elastic support component 140 in the second direction is a theoretical collision distance between the two in the second direction.

[0081] Among them, when the electronic device 100 falls and is impacted, the folding body 120 will jump and dislocate along the second direction. The above theoretical collision distance can offset the offset caused by the dislocation, thereby improving the stability of the folding body 120 when falling, and achieving the technical effect of extending the service life of the folding screen 160.

[0082] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the folding body 120 includes a first folding body 122 and a second folding body 124, the elastic support component 140 includes a first elastic support component 1402 and a second elastic support component 1404, the first elastic support component 1402 is arranged on the first folding body 122, and the second elastic support component 1404 is arranged on the second folding body 124; when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the first elastic support component 1402 and the second elastic support component 1404 are arranged relative to the same rigid support component 130.

[0083] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 includes two folding bodies 120, specifically a first folding body 122 and a second folding body 124. Correspondingly, the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124 are connected to the base 112 via two swing arms 114, respectively.

[0084] Among them, a first elastic support component 1402 is arranged on the first folding body 122, and a second elastic support component 1404 is arranged on the second folding body 124. When the folding body 120 is switched to a folded state, the first elastic support component 1402 can share the force of the swing arm 114 between the first folding body 122 and the base 112 by contacting the rigid support component 130. Correspondingly, the second elastic support component 1404 can share the force of the swing arm 114 between the second folding body 124 and the base 112 by contacting the rigid support component 130, thereby reducing the probability of structural deformation or even fracture of the swing arm 114, enhancing the structural stability of the swing arm 114, and thereby solving the technical problem of easy damage of the hinge component 110.

[0085] Moreover, when impacted, the elastic force in the two elastic support components 140 can play a resisting role. After the impact, the elastic force can drive the two folding bodies 120 to reset, thereby reducing the change in the gap between the folding body 120 and the base 112, and reducing the probability of irreversible deformation or even extrusion failure during folding, thereby solving the technical problem of short service life of the folding screen 160.

[0086] On this basis, when the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124 are in a folded state, the first elastic support component 1402 and the second elastic support component 1404 are arranged relative to the same rigid support component 130 in the first direction. By sharing the rigid support component 130, on the one hand, the structural complexity of the electronic device 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of the electronic device 100. On the other hand, it is beneficial to improve the symmetry of the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124, thereby avoiding damage to the folding screen 160 due to asymmetric damage to the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124.

[0087] like Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the electronic device 100 also includes: a first magnetic member 150, the first magnetic member 150 is arranged in the first elastic support component 1402; a second magnetic member 152, the second magnetic member 152 is arranged in the second elastic support component 1404, when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state, the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 152 are opposite to each other, and the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 152 attract each other.

[0088] In this embodiment, a first magnetic component 150 is provided on the first elastic support component 1402, and a second magnetic component 152 is provided on the second elastic support component 1404. Specifically, the first magnetic component 150 can be embedded in the first elastic support component 1402, and similarly, the second magnetic component 152 can be embedded in the second elastic support component 1404, thereby rationally utilizing the space in the elastic support component 140 and providing convenient conditions for the miniaturized design of the electronic device 100.

[0089] Among them, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 152 are opposite. When the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124 are switched to the folded state, the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 152 are relatively arranged in the second direction, and the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 152 prevent the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124 from separating by attracting each other.

[0090] By providing the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 152, on the one hand, a damping feeling can be provided in the process of unfolding the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124, and an assist can be provided in the process of fastening the first folding body 122 and the second folding body 124, thereby optimizing the opening and closing feel of the electronic device 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0091] On the other hand, the first magnetic part 150 and the second magnetic part 152 can prevent the first magnetic part 150 and the second magnetic part 152 from deviating along the second direction through magnetic attraction, thereby enhancing the buffering and protection effect of the elastic support component 140 and the rigid support component 130 on the swing arm 114 and the folding screen 160, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the structural stability of the electronic device 100 and reducing the failure rate of the electronic device 100.

[0092] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the elastic bracket 144 includes a mounting groove 1442 , and the magnetic member is embedded in the mounting groove 1442 .

[0093] In this embodiment, a mounting groove 1442 is provided on the elastic bracket 144 . The shape of the mounting groove 1442 matches the shape of the magnetic component. The magnetic component can be positioned and installed by inserting the magnetic component into the mounting groove 1442 .

[0094] By providing the mounting groove 1442 on the elastic bracket 144, the hidden design of the magnetic component can be realized, and the interference between the magnetic component and the swing arm 114, the folding body 120 and other structures can be avoided, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the reliability of the structure. At the same time, embedding the magnetic component into the elastic bracket 144 can improve the compactness of the structure of the electronic device 100, and provide convenient conditions for the miniaturization and lightweight design of the electronic device 100.

[0095] The electronic device 100 may be a terminal or other device other than a terminal. For example, the electronic device 100 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a vehicle-mounted electronic device 100, a mobile Internet device (MID), an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. It may also be a personal computer (PC), a television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
