Since the front side of the middle support member 521 is a complete surface and there is no step difference in the middle support member 521, the flexible screen 30 will not be impacted by the step difference when flattened, and the flexible screen 30 will not have defects such as color dots and bright spots, thereby ensuring the reliability of the flexible screen 30. At the same time, it also improves the touch feel of the flexible screen 30 and enhances the user experience.

[0102] Please also read Figure 1-Figure 4 and Figures 27 to 39When the electronic device 100 is bent, a bending force is applied to at least one of the two frames 21 of the electronic device 100, so that the rotating mechanism 55 connected to the two frames 21 rotates in a direction close to each other, and the folding device 50 is bent through the two folding-assisting components 51, and the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is bent along the supporting mechanism 52. Specifically, if a bending force is applied to one of the frames 21, the one of the frames 21 drives the corresponding rotating mechanism 55 to rotate relative to the base 53 toward the side close to the flexible screen 30, and the first rotating rail 5520 and the second rotating rail 5522 of the rotating member 550 rotate along the first rotating groove 5411 and the second rotating groove 5431 in the first rotation direction respectively; at the same time, the rotating mechanism 55 drives the corresponding connecting rod member 562 to rotate along the axis of the connecting shaft 561 relative to the base 53 toward the side close to the flexible screen 30 in the first rotation direction, and the first guide rail 5620 and the second guide rail 5625 of the connecting rod member 562 are respectively on the corresponding first sliding-assisting member 58 1 and the corresponding second guide groove 5833 of the second slide-assisting member 583 slide in the first direction, the sleeve 5622 of the connecting rod member 562, the connecting shaft 561, the driving gear 5621 and the push member 572 rotate along the axis of the corresponding connecting shaft 561 in the first rotation direction, the rotating driving gear 5621 drives the other driving gear 5621 to rotate in the second rotation direction through the gear combination 564, and the rotation of the other driving gear 5621 drives the corresponding connecting shaft 561, the sleeve 5622, the push member 572 and the sliding part 5623 to rotate in the second rotation direction, so that the two connecting rods of the linkage mechanism 56 Components 562 are synchronously brought close to each other, and the first rotation direction is opposite to the second rotation direction; the rotating part 552 continues to rotate in the first rotation direction until the first stop block 5524 and the second stop block 5526 respectively push the first abutting block 5415 and the third abutting block 5435, so as to drive the first auxiliary rotating component 541 and the second auxiliary rotating component 543 to rotate in the first rotation direction relative to the base 53, until the first stop block 5414 and the second stop block 5434 respectively abut against the corresponding first stop block 5333 and the third abutting block 5435; at the same time, the other rotating part 552 continues to rotate in the second rotation direction until the first stop block 5524 and the second stop block 5526 pushes against the first abutting block 5415 and the third abutting block 5435 respectively, so as to drive the first rotation-assisting member 541 and the second rotation-assisting member 543 to rotate relative to the base 53 in the second rotation direction, until the first rotation-stopping block 5414 and the second rotation-stopping block 5434 respectively abut against the corresponding first stop block 5333 and the third abutting block 5435; at the same time, the connecting rod 562 continues to slide along the first direction until the first stop block 5620a and the second stop block 5625 push against the second positioning block 5816 and the fourth positioning block 5836 respectively, so as to drive the first slide-assisting member 581 and the second slide-assisting member 583 to slide relative to the connecting member 555 along the first direction;At the same time, the pushing member 572 on each connecting rod member 562 rotates relative to the supporting member 573, so that the first cam 5720 of the pushing member 572 rotationally pushes the second cam 5730, and the supporting member 573 slides axially along the connecting shaft 561 to squeeze the elastic member 575. The elastic member 575 elastically pushes the positioning member 576 to clamp the first friction member 5770 between the gasket 578 and the positioning member 576 and the first friction member 5770 between the gasket 578 and the C-shaped buckle 579. The first friction member 5770 and the second friction member 5775 rotate relative to the gasket 578 and the positioning member 576 along the corresponding connecting shaft 561. During the bending process of the linkage mechanism 56, the rotating part 552 of the rotating member 550 rotates relative to the base 53 through the cooperation of the circular arc track and the corresponding circular arc groove, the connecting part 553 of the rotating member 550 is rotatably connected with the corresponding connecting member 555 along the corresponding rotating shaft 551, the adjusting shaft 5628 rotates and slides from the second positioning section 5237b to the first positioning section 5237a in the corresponding adjusting groove 5237, and the two connecting rods 562 rotate along the axis of the corresponding connecting shaft 561 and approach each other, so as to realize the mutual approach of the two side support members 523, so that the folding device 50 is in a folded state, and the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is bent with the folding device 50 until the front faces of the two non-bending areas 33 of the flexible screen 30 are attached to each other, and the bendable area 31 is bent into a water drop shape, thereby realizing the seamless folding of the electronic device 100. ;

[0103] During the bending process of the electronic device 100, the friction torque between the first cam 5720 and the second cam 5730, the friction resistance of the first friction member 5770 and the friction resistance of the second friction member 5775, the friction resistance between the first sliding member 581 and the second sliding member 583 and the corresponding second damping member 585, and the friction resistance between the first rotation assisting member 541 and the second rotation assisting member 543 and the corresponding first damping member 545 can limit the rebound of the flexible screen 30, so that the side support member 523 is positioned at a specific angle relative to the middle support member 521, and the two frames 21 can be limited to a specific angle between 180 degrees and 0 degrees. When the two frames 21 are bent to each other and limited at 0 degrees, that is, the two non-bending areas 33 of the flexible screen 30 are parallel to each other; the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is bent to form a water drop shape, reducing the duty cycle of the bendable area 31 after bending, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device 100.

[0104] In other bending methods of the electronic device 100, a bending force can also be applied to the two frames 21 at the same time. The two frames 21 respectively drive the two side support members 523 to rotate relative to the side close to the flexible screen 30, and the folding device 50 is used to realize the bending of the electronic device 100.

[0105] When the electronic device 100 needs to be flattened, one of the frames 21 is pulled outwards to make the two rotating mechanisms 55 connected to the two frames 21 rotate in directions away from each other. Specifically, a force of pulling outwards is applied to one of the frames 21 of the electronic device 100, and the one of the frames 21 drives the corresponding rotating mechanism 55 to rotate relative to the base 53 toward the side away from the flexible screen 30, and the first rotating rail 5520 and the second rotating rail 5522 of the rotating member 550 rotate along the first rotating groove 5411 and the second rotating groove 5431 in the third rotation direction; at the same time, the rotating mechanism 55 drives the corresponding connecting rod member 562 to rotate along the axis of the connecting shaft 561 relative to the base 53 toward the side away from the flexible screen 30 in the third rotation direction, and at the same time, the first guide rail 5620 and the second guide rail 5625 of the connecting rod member 562 are respectively in the opposite direction.

The second stop slide block 5526 pushes the second push block 5416 and the fourth push block 5436 respectively, so as to drive the first auxiliary rotation member 541 and the second auxiliary rotation member 543 to rotate in the fourth rotation direction relative to the base 53 until the first stop block 5414 and the second stop block 5434 respectively push against the corresponding second stop block 5335 and the fourth stop block 5355; at the same time, the connecting rod member 562 continues to slide along the second direction until the first stop slide block 5620a and the second stop slide block 5625a respectively push against the second positioning block 5816 and the fourth positioning block 5836, so as to drive the first auxiliary sliding member 581 and the second auxiliary sliding member 583 to slide along the second direction relative to the connecting member 555.At the same time, the push member 572 on each connecting rod member 562 rotates relative to the supporting member 573, so that the first cam 5720 of the push member 572 rotates to push the second cam 5730, and the elastic member 575 elastically presses between the positioning member 576 and the supporting member 573, so that the positioning member 576 slides along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 561, and the first friction member 5770 is clamped between the gasket 578 and the positioning member 576 and the second friction member 5775 is clamped between the gasket 578 and the C-shaped buckle 579. The first friction member 5770 and the second friction member 5775 move relative to the gasket along the corresponding connecting shaft 561. 578 and the positioning member 576 rotate; during the bending process of the linkage mechanism 56, the rotating portion 552 of the rotating member 550 rotates relative to the base 53, the connecting portion 553 of the rotating member 550 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting member 555, the adjusting shaft 5628 rotates and slides in the corresponding adjusting groove 5237, and the two connecting rod members 562 rotate along the axes of the corresponding connecting shafts 561 and move away from each other to achieve the mutual movement of the two side support members 523, so that the folding device 50 is unfolded, and the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is unfolded with the folding device 50 until the flexible screen 30 is flattened.

[0106] During the flattening process of the electronic device 100, the friction torque between the first cam 5720 and the second cam 5730, the friction torque of the first friction member 5770 and the second friction member 5775, the friction resistance between the first sliding member 581 and the second sliding member 583 and the corresponding second damping member 585, and the friction resistance between the first rotation assist member 541 and the second rotation assist member 543 and the corresponding first damping member 545, can limit the rebound of the flexible screen 30, so that the side support member 523 is positioned at a specific angle relative to the middle support member 521, and the two frames 21 can be limited to a specific angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.

[0107] In other bending methods of the electronic device 100, an outward pulling force can also be applied to the two frames 21 at the same time, and the two frames 21 respectively drive the rotating mechanisms 55 on the opposite sides of the base 53 to rotate away from each other, so as to drive the connecting rods 562 on the opposite sides of the base 53 to rotate away from each other, so that the two side support members 523 rotate toward the side away from the flexible screen 30, and the electronic device 100 is unfolded through the folding device 50.

[0108] The folding device 50 of the electronic device 100 of the present invention realizes synchronous bending or unfolding through the folding auxiliary component 51. Since the elastic member 575 can provide a large axial force, there is a large friction torque between the first cam 5720 and the second cam 5730, and the first friction member 5770 and the second friction member 5775 also have a large friction resistance; therefore, the electronic device 100 can be bent and stably limited to a specific angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, thereby realizing the hovering function of the whole machine; secondly, since the overall volume of the folding device 50 is relatively small, the internal space occupied by the folding device 50 in the folding shell 20 is reduced, which is not only beneficial to the layout of other components such as the motherboard or battery in the electronic device 100, but also beneficial to the development of miniaturization, and the connection reliability between the various components of the folding device 50 is high, thereby avoiding the displacement of various components of the electronic device 100 when it falls and damaging the flexible screen 30.

[0109] The above is an implementation of the embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the embodiment of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
