Detailed implementation manners

[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for the sake of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, obviously, one or more embodiments may be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0032] The terms used herein are merely for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The terms "including", "comprising", etc. used herein indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0033] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0034] In the case of using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C", generally, it should be interpreted according to the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but is not limited to, a system having only A, only B, only C, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C).

[0035] In existing double-fold, triple-fold or multi-fold notebooks, after the screen is folded into the tablet mode for use, the screen will adhere to the keyboard surface. There is a motherboard placed on the base part of the keyboard surface, which will bring a high-temperature environment during operation. Since the keyboard surface and the screen surface are closed, the heat dissipation efficiency is low, and the temperature of the keyboard surface rises, which will heat the flexible screen in contact with it, causing the temperature of the screen part on the keyboard surface to rise, exceeding the normal operating temperature specification of the screen and even damaging the flexible screen.

[0036] The existing method to solve this problem is to minimize the performance of the system in the tablet usage mode, so that the internal temperature of the system is kept in a lower range to avoid the keyboard surface heating the screen due to its high temperature. However, the disadvantage of this solution is that the motherboard and heat-generating components need to maintain a low temperature, which limits the performance of the system and keeps it at a low operating performance to ensure that the temperature of the keyboard surface is relatively low.

[0037] Therefore, how to balance the space compactness and the screen protection requirements while ensuring the folding portability of the device, without affecting the high-performance usage requirements, and effectively avoiding screen damage is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0038] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic device, including: a first body including a target display component; a second body including an operation component; one end of the first body is rotatably connected to one end of the second body; when the first body and the second body are in a closed state, the target display component and the operation component face each other, and there is a target air flow channel between the target display component and the operation component. By using the target air flow channel, it does not affect the normal use of the electronic device, ensures that the overall temperature of display components such as the electronic screen and the flexible screen is relatively low, does not generate high temperature, and effectively protects the normal operation of the display components and avoids damage.

[0039] Taking the triple-fold electronic device 200 as an example, Figure 1 Schematically shows the structural diagram of the electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the electronic device 200 of this embodiment includes:

[0041] A first body 300 including a target display component 301;

[0042] A second body 400 including an operation component 401; one end of the first body 300 is rotatably connected to one end of the second body 400;

[0043] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state, the target display component 301 and the operation component 401 face each other, and there is a target air flow channel 500 between the target display component 301 and the operation component 401.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first body 300 is an important interface for a user to interact with the electronic device 200 (such as a laptop computer). The first body 300 may include one or more display components (such as a liquid crystal screen, a flexible screen, etc.). The user operates the electronic device 200 through the graphical user interface presented on the display component, such as clicking on an icon, selecting a menu, inputting text, etc. The display component can provide real-time feedback on the operation results of the user, enabling the user to promptly understand the running status and response of the computer.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target display component 301 is the first display component 305. The electronic device 200 further includes: a second display component 302 disposed on the first body 300. When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are closed, the second display component 302 can display in a direction different from the display direction of the first display component 305. Optionally, when the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a non-closed state, the second display component 302 can also display in a direction different from the display direction of the first display component 305.

[0046] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are closed, the electronic device 200 presents a tablet mode. The second display component 302 serves as the core interaction interface, undertaking the main information interaction function between the user and the electronic device 200, for presenting system operation feedback, user instruction response results, and various visual data in real time, and at the same time receiving input operations such as user touch and gestures to achieve two-way human-computer interaction.

[0047] If the electronic device 200 is a multi-screen folding device, the number of the second display components 302 can be flexibly configured according to design requirements to be multiple. Each second display component 302 can operate independently, undertaking different display tasks respectively, such as one for displaying document content and the other for presenting an operation menu; or they can work together, forming a larger display interface or achieving diverse interaction functions through splicing, linkage, etc., to enhance the user's multi-task processing and interaction experience.

[0048] If the electronic device 200 is a single-screen folding device, the second display component 302 and the first display component 305 are the front and back sides of a display device. The second display component 302 is disposed on the back of the first display component 305. When the electronic device 200 is folded into a laptop, the second display component 302 constitutes the core carrier for user interaction, which has dual functions of image display and signal input. It can not only output visual information such as the running status and application interface of the electronic device 200, but also receive input signals generated by the user's operations such as touch and pressing to complete the human-computer interaction process.

[0049] The second body 400 is an important input device of the electronic device 200. Users can quickly input information in various applications, perform text input, quick control, system navigation and other operations by pressing keys such as letters, numbers, punctuation marks on the operation component 401 (such as a keyboard). The second body 400 may include one or more operation components 401, underlying components (such as a fan 409, a computing unit 408, etc.);

[0050] One end of the first body 300 is rotatably connected to one end of the second body 400, and the rotatable connection method may include but is not limited to single-axis rotating shaft connection, double-axis rotating shaft connection, hinge hidden connection, cable hidden connection and flexible connection.

[0051] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in the closed state, the target display component 301 in the first body 300 faces the operation component 401, that is, the target display component 301 is attached to the operation component 401. At this time, the electronic device 200 presents a tablet mode. When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in the unfolded state, the electronic device 200 presents a normal notebook mode at this time. The target display component 301 is used as a normally available display component to feedback page information and user operation results, etc.

[0052] Figure 2 The structural diagram of the first body 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first body 300 includes a first component 303 and a second component 304 that are rotatably connected. A first display component 305 is disposed on the first component 303, and a second display component 302 is disposed on the second component 304. The first display component 305 and the second display component 302 are connected by a flexible display component 306.

[0054] As Figure 2 shown, the first display component 305 and the second display component 302 are connected through the flexible display component 306. The flexible display component 306 has bendable and extensible characteristics. During the relative rotation of the first component 303 and the second component 304, it can adaptively deform to ensure the continuity and integrity of the display screen, thereby realizing the multi-mode display function. In some embodiments, the first display component 305, the flexible display component 306, and the second display component are connected in sequence to form a complete screen.

[0055] Figure 3 The tablet mode diagram of the electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown;

[0056] Figure 4Schematically shows a diagram of the target air flow channel 500 on the side of the operation component 401 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0057] As Figure 3 shown, during the process of using the electronic device 200 as a tablet computer, the temperature of the operation component 401 of the second body 400 will rise, and the temperature will be conducted to the target display component 301. When it exceeds the normal operating temperature specification of the target display component 301, it may cause damage to the target display component 301. Therefore, a target air flow channel 500 is designed between the target display component 301 and the operation component 401. As Figure 4 shown, on the side of the operation component 401, air circulates in the target air flow channel 500 to form flowing heat dissipation for the target display component 301 and reduce the temperature of the target display component 301.

[0058] It should be noted that Figure 4 the target air flow channel 500 in

[0059] is only an example. In actual application, the target air flow channel 500 can be designed in the heat generation area of the operation component 401, such as the areas of the operation component 401 corresponding to heat sources in the second body 400, such as the central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), battery, charging circuit, wireless module, etc.

[0060] Figure 5 Schematically shows a diagram of the formation of the target air flow channel 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0061] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state, as Figure 5 shown, the front view projection of a certain operation component 401 forming the target air flow channel 500. Without the target air flow channel 500, as Figure 5 shown in (a), the surface of the target display component 301 is in contact with the surface of the operation component 401, and the gap between the two is 0, and there is no target air flow channel 500. Under specific conditions (such as the temperature of the operation component 401 being too high and affecting the performance of the target display component 301), the operation component 401 changes, generating the target air flow channel 500 as Figure 5 shown in (b). The surface of the target display component 301 is separated from the surface of the operation component 401, and the gap space increases, thus the target air flow channel 500 appears. This part of the area can form a ventilation channel, enhancing the active heat dissipation performance and reducing the surface temperature of the target display component 301.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target air flow channel 500 is formed by the sinking of the operation component 401. In some embodiments, an opening communicating with the inside of the second body is formed in the edge area of the operation component 401, and the target air flow channel 500 is formed by the gap between the opening and the keycap; the opening is a fixedly arranged structure, or is formed when the internal temperature of the electronic device reaches the target temperature condition, or is formed by triggering through a corresponding instruction.

[0063] As Figure 5 As shown in (b), the operation component 401 sinks, the gap space between the surface of the target display component 301 and the surface of the operation component 401 increases, and the target air flow channel 500 appears. It should be noted that the sinking of the operation component 401 can be realized by designing the deformation component 403 and / or the electronic control component 404.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state and the second display component 302 is in a working state, the gap space between the surface of the first display component 305 and the surface of the operation component 401 changes to form the target air flow channel 500.

[0065] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a non-closed state, the surface of the first display component 305 is separated from the surface of the operation component 401, and there is no need to generate the target air flow channel 500.

[0066] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state and the second display component 302 is not in a working state, the electronic device 200 is not started to work, and there is no need to generate the target air flow channel 500.

[0067] When the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state and the second display component 302 is in a working state, the electronic device 200 is in a working state, the temperature of the operation component 401 will rise. When the surface of the first display component 305 is in contact with the surface of the operation component 401, as the temperature continues to rise, the surface of the first display component 305 will be affected by this temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to change the gap space between the surface of the first display component 305 and the surface of the operation component 401 to form the target air flow channel 500. Through this channel, a gap or cavity for air flow is generated, and air flows through the set gap to actively dissipate heat from the screen and reduce the screen temperature.

[0068] Figure 6 Schematically shows a structural diagram of the second body 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] As Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 200 is disposed on the deformation component 403 of the second body 400. The shape of the deformation component 403 can deform when the internal temperature of the electronic device 200 reaches the target temperature condition. The deformation of the deformation component 403 creates a target air flow channel 500 between the target display component 301 and the operation component 401. In some embodiments, the internal temperature is the temperature inside the second body 400. In some embodiments, the internal temperature is the temperature between the operation component 401 and the target display component 301 when the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state.

[0070] The deformation component 403 can be disposed at the bottom of the operation component 401. The deformation component 403 can be made of a memory material, and the memory material includes, but is not limited to, shape memory alloys, magnetic shape memory alloys, shape memory polymers, bimetallic sheets, and other materials.

[0071] The target temperature condition is that the current temperature reaches a preset temperature threshold. The preset temperature threshold can be set according to the characteristics of the target display component 301. For example, the temperature threshold can be set based on the normal operating temperature range, material characteristics, power consumption, and other characteristics of the target display component 301. By setting the temperature threshold based on the target display component 301, the target air flow channel 500 is formed when the temperature is higher than the temperature threshold, reducing the temperature of the target display component 301, preventing the target display component 301 from working at high temperatures for a long time, thereby reducing the aging and damage of internal materials, and extending the service life of the target display component 301 and the entire electronic device 200.

[0072] Exemplarily, taking the deformation component 403 as a memory material, the target display component 301 as a flexible screen, and the operation component 401 as a keyboard as an example, when the electronic device 200 is in a tablet mode, the flexible screen is folded and attached to the keyboard. There are a heat-generating main board and main components between the keyboard side and the base part. As the electronic device 200 is used, the surface temperature of the keyboard will increase. When the temperature continues to rise and the temperature of a partial area of the keyboard surface in contact with the flexible screen reaches the set temperature value, reaching the upper limit of the working specification of the flexible screen, the memory material reaches the deformation temperature, and the memory material deforms, causing local automatic settlement in a specific area of the keyboard, forming a gap between the part of the keyboard surface in contact with the flexible screen, forming the target air flow channel 500, and air flows in through the target air flow channel 500 to form an air intake channel, so as to form flowing heat dissipation on the surface area of the flexible screen, enhancing the active heat dissipation performance and effectively reducing the temperature of the flexible screen.

[0073] Figure 7 Another structural diagram of the second body 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0074] As Figure 7As shown, in some other embodiments, the electronic device 200 is disposed on the electronic control component 404 and the control component 405 of the second body 400, and is configured to control the operation of the electronic control component 404 when the internal temperature of the electronic device 200 reaches the target temperature condition. The operation of the electronic control component 404 creates a target air flow channel 500 between the target display component 301 and the operation component 401. In some embodiments, the internal temperature is the temperature inside the second body 400. In some embodiments, the internal temperature is the temperature between the operation component 401 and the target display component 301 when the first body 300 and the second body 400 are in a closed state. In some embodiments, the internal temperature is the temperature of the target display component 301.

[0075] Figure 8 Schematically shows another structural diagram of the electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 200 further includes: a temperature detection component 406, which is disposed at at least one of the following positions: inside the second body 400, the surface of the second body 400 where the operation component 401 is disposed, inside the first body 300, and the surface of the first body where the target display component 301 is disposed. In some embodiments, the control component 405 can obtain the internal temperature from the temperature information output by the temperature detection component 406, and the temperature detection component 406 is a component for detecting the CPU temperature in the electronic device 200.

[0077] Exemplarily, taking the control component 405 as a microcontroller as an example, temperature sensors such as thermistors or thermocouples are installed near the key heat-generating components inside the electronic device 200. These sensors can monitor the ambient temperature in real time and convert the temperature signal into an electrical signal. Connect the temperature sensor to the microcontroller (MCU), and the microcontroller can process and analyze the electrical signal transmitted by the sensor. A program is written in the microcontroller in advance to set the target temperature threshold. When the temperature signal received by the microcontroller exceeds the target temperature threshold, it will issue a control signal. The control signal of the microcontroller controls the electronic control component 404 through a drive circuit, such as an electromagnetic relay or a stepper motor driver. For an electromagnetic relay, the control signal can make its contacts closed, thereby providing power for the sinking mechanism of the operation component 401 and driving the mechanism to operate to achieve the sinking of the operation component 401; for a stepper motor driver, the control signal can drive the stepper motor to rotate and drive the operation component 401 to sink through a transmission device.

[0078] Figure 9 Schematically shows another structural diagram of the electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] As Figure 9As shown, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target airflow channel 500 is the first airflow channel 407, and the electronic device 200 includes: a second airflow channel 402 disposed in the second body 400, and the second airflow channel 402 is used to dissipate heat from the computing unit 408 of the electronic device 200; the first airflow channel 407 communicates with the second airflow channel 402.

[0080] The second airflow channel 402 serves as the original heat dissipation channel of the electronic device 200. Exemplarily, one end of the second airflow channel 402 communicates with the external environment to form an air inlet 411, and the other end is connected to the outside through a heat dissipation hole or an air outlet 412, constituting a complete air circulation path. During operation, using the air pressure generated by the fan 409, the external cold air is sucked into the second airflow channel 402 through the air inlet 411. When the cold air flows through the computing unit 408 (such as heat-generating components like CPU, GPU, etc.), it absorbs the heat generated by the computing unit 408 through heat conduction, convection, etc. Subsequently, the hot air carrying the heat flows along the airflow channel towards the air outlet 412 and is finally discharged outside the electronic device 200, realizing continuous cooling of the computing unit 408. At the same time, the inner wall of the second airflow channel 402 can be designed with a flow guiding structure (such as a flow guiding groove, a flow guiding fin, etc.) to optimize the air flow path, reduce the air flow resistance, improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and ensure efficient heat transfer by reasonably planning the relative position and contact area between the second airflow channel 402 and the computing unit 408, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the computing unit 408 and ensuring the stable operation of the electronic device 200.

[0081] Figure 10 Schematically shows another formation diagram of the target airflow channel 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0082] There is no target airflow channel 500 as Figure 10 As shown in (a), the second airflow channel 402 dissipates heat from the computing unit 408 of the electronic device 200 normally. At this time, the surface of the target display component 301 is in contact with the surface of the operation component 401, and there is no target airflow channel 500. Under specific conditions, the operation component 401 changes, generating a target airflow channel 500 as Figure 10As shown in (b), the surface of the target display component 301 is separated from the surface of the operating component 401, and the gap space is increased, thereby forming the target airflow channel 500, namely the first airflow channel 407. During the heat dissipation process, the external cold air is first sucked in through the air inlet 411 of the second airflow channel 402 to dissipate the heat of the computing unit 408 for the first time. After that, when some of the hot air carrying heat flows in the channel, it will be diverted to the first airflow channel 407 connected thereto. The first airflow channel 407 uses the diverted air to take away the heat generated by the operation component 401 of the target display component 301 through heat exchange. Finally, the air of the two airflow channels merges and is discharged from the device through the common air outlet 412. The two airflow channels are interconnected and coordinated to build a composite heat dissipation system, which can not only ensure the efficient cooling of the computing unit 408, but also take into account the heat dissipation requirements of the screen, improve the overall heat dissipation performance of the electronic device 200, and ensure the stable operation of all components of the electronic device 200.

[0083] Figure 11 Another structural diagram of an electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0084] like Figure 11 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 includes: a fan 409 disposed in the second body 400; and a guide structure 410 for allowing the airflow generated by the fan 409 to pass partially through the first airflow channel 407 and partially through the second airflow channel 402.

[0085] The designed flow guide structure 410 includes but is not limited to a flow guide cover and a diversion baffle. For example, a special flow guide cover can be set around the fan 409. The shape and internal structure of the flow guide cover can be designed according to the needs of air flow diversion. For example, a partition plate can be set inside the flow guide cover to divide the air flow blown out by the fan 409 into two parts, which are respectively guided to the first air flow channel 407 and the second air flow channel 402. The diversion ratio of the air flow can also be adjusted by changing the opening size and direction of the flow guide cover. For example, increasing the opening to the first air flow channel 407 will allow more air flow to enter the first air flow channel 407. An adjustable diversion baffle can also be installed at the air outlet 412 of the fan 409. The baffle can be a straight plate or an arc, and its angle and position can be changed by rotation or translation. When the baffle is in different positions, the air flow will be guided to flow to the first air flow channel 407 and the second air flow channel 402 in different proportions. For example, the baffle is tilted to one side to allow more airflow to flow to the first airflow channel 407; conversely, more airflow to flow to the second airflow channel 402. Multiple small baffles can be designed and distributed in different areas of the air outlet 412 of the fan 409. By controlling the angles of these baffles respectively, more precise airflow diversion control can be achieved.

[0086] Figure 12 Another structural diagram of the electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0087] As Figure 12 shown, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first body 300 and the second body 400 are closed, at least one of the air inlet 411 or the air outlet 412 of the target air flow channel 500 is provided at a portion where the edges of the first body 300 and the second body 400 are close to each other.

[0088] In order to form a heat dissipation air flow, a groove or a through hole can be opened at the inner edge of the first body 300 and the second body 400 as the air inlet 411 or the air outlet 412, and an openable and closable cover structure can also be designed. When the two bodies are closed, the cover automatically opens to connect the target air flow channel 500 to the outside; when separated, the cover closes to prevent dust from entering.
