[0079] When the electronic device 100 is flattened, an unfolding force is applied to at least one of the two frames 40 of the electronic device 100, so that the first connecting member 525 and the second connecting member 535 connected to the two frames 40 drive the first rotating member 521 and the second rotating member 256 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the base 510 and rotate in a direction away from each other, and the side of the side support piece 501 away from the middle support piece 505 rotates relative to the first connecting member 525, wherein the side support piece 501 rotates with the first rotating member 521 and the first connecting seat 56 away from the other side support piece 501, and the first connecting rod member 54 The rotation of the second connecting rod 55 drives the corresponding middle supporting piece 505 to rotate; the other side supporting piece 501 rotates away from the first rotating piece 521 along with the second rotating piece 531 and the second connecting seat 57, and the rotation of the second connecting rod 55 drives the corresponding middle supporting piece 505 to rotate until the two side supporting pieces 501 and the middle supporting piece 505 are flattened to realize the unfolding of the hinge device 50, and the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is unfolded along with the hinge device 50 until the flexible screen 30 is completely flattened, and the middle supporting piece 505 and the side supporting piece 501 both support the bendable area 31, thereby realizing the flattening of the electronic device 100. In the process of flattening the electronic device 100, the middle supporting piece 505 changes from a bent state to a flattened state, so the middle supporting piece 505 has a rebound force, which is more conducive to the unfolding of the electronic device 100.

The other side support piece 501 is directly connected to the first rotating member 521. The second rotating member 531 and the second connecting seat 57 rotate, thereby driving the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 to bend or unfold; since the thickness of the middle support sheet 505 and the side support sheet 501 is thin, the overall thickness of the hinge device 50 is thinned, and the overall thickness of the electronic device 100 is reduced, which is beneficial to the development of the electronic device 100 to be lighter and thinner; in addition, the side support sheet 501 and the middle support sheet 505 have a simple structure, and the connection relationship between the side support sheet 501 and the middle support sheet 505 and the auxiliary rotation mechanism 51 is simple, which is beneficial to the manufacturing and assembly time, reduces costs, and improves manufacturing efficiency.
