Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a folding device for supporting a flexible screen, a folding housing provided with the folding device, and an electronic device provided with the folding housing. Background Art
[0002] Currently, folding electronic products with bendable flexible display screens are becoming increasingly popular among people. Folding electronic products in the prior art generally include a hinge mechanism, two frames respectively disposed on opposite sides of the hinge mechanism, and a flexible screen covering the front of the hinge mechanism and the two frames. The two frames are folded or flattened through the hinge mechanism. The torsion mechanism of the hinge mechanism generally relies on a spring pressing member to generate friction during the rotation process, and this friction is used to ensure the stability of the hinge mechanism during the rotation process. During the folding or unfolding process of the hinge mechanism, it generally relies on the friction and relative displacement change between cams to achieve the folded state, flattened state, and hovering state of the hinge mechanism. However, with the miniaturization development of the hinge mechanism, the volume of the cams becomes smaller, making the contact surfaces between the cams prone to wear, resulting in a decrease in the frictional resistance of the hinge mechanism during folding or unfolding, affecting the hovering effect of the hinge mechanism.

The first adjusting portion rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft, and at the same time the first adjusting portion moves along the first spiral groove, so that the resisting member slides axially relative to the first connecting rod along the rotating shaft. Since the cams are omitted in the folding device of the present application, the problem of wear on the contact surfaces between the cams is avoided, so that the electronic device has a better folding feel and hovering effect, and is beneficial to the miniaturization development of the folding device.

[0072] When the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 of the linkage mechanism 56 are in a flattened state, the first adjusting portion 5722 is positioned at the first positioning end 5734a of the first spiral groove 5734, and the second adjusting portion 5742 is positioned at the third positioning end 5735a of the second spiral groove 5735; when the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 of the linkage mechanism 56 are in a folded state, the first adjusting portion 5722 is positioned at the second positioning end 5734b of the first spiral groove 5734, and the second adjusting portion 5742 is positioned at the fourth positioning end 5735b of the second spiral groove 5735.

During the bending process of the linkage mechanism 56, the first adjusting portion 5722 moves from the first positioning end 5734a to the second positioning end 5734b of the first spiral groove 5734, and the second adjusting portion 5742 moves from the third positioning end 5735a to the fourth positioning end 5735b of the second spiral groove 5735,
[0073] When the linkage mechanism 56 is deployed from the folded state, the first link member 562 is deployed away from the second link member 563 relative to the abutting member 573. The first link member 562 rotates along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561 to drive the corresponding rotating shaft 561, the driving gear 5641 and the first adjusting cylinder 572 to rotate along the axis of the rotating shaft 561. The rotating driving gear 5641 drives another driving gear 5641 to rotate through the synchronizing gear 5643, and then drives the corresponding rotating shaft 561, the second sleeve 5632 and the second adjusting cylinder 574 to rotate, so that the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 of the linkage mechanism 56 move away from each other synchronously. Or the second link member 563 is deployed away from the first link member 562 relative to the abutting member 573. The second link member 563 rotates along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561 to drive the corresponding rotating shaft 561, the driving gear 5641 and the second adjusting cylinder 574 to rotate along the axis of the rotating shaft 561. The rotating driving gear 5641 drives another driving gear 5641 to rotate through the synchronizing gear 5643, and then drives the corresponding rotating shaft 561, the first sleeve 5622 and the first adjusting cylinder 572 to rotate, so that the second link member 563 and the first link member 562 of the linkage mechanism 56 move away from each other synchronously. During the deployment process of the linkage mechanism 56, the first adjusting portion 5722 moves from the second positioning end 5734b to the first positioning end 5734a of the first spiral groove 5734, and the second adjusting portion 5742 moves from the fourth positioning end 5735b to the third positioning end 5735a of the second spiral groove 5735.

The elastic member 575 elastically pushes the positioning member 576, so that the friction member 5770 is clamped between the buckle 5775 and the positioning member 576, and the friction member 5770 rotates relative to the positioning member 576 along with the corresponding rotating shaft 561. The frictional resistance of the friction member 5770 can limit the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 at a specific angle between 180 degrees and 0 degrees. When the included angle between the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 is 180 degrees, the linkage mechanism 56 is in a flattened state, and when the included angle between the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 is 0 degrees, the linkage mechanism 56 is in a folded state.

The combination of the linkage mechanism 56 and the limiting mechanism 57 is placed between the two connecting members 555. The two first guide rails 5620 of the first link member 562 are respectively slidably inserted into the two guide grooves 5550 of one connecting member 555, and the two second guide rails 5630 of the second link member 563 are respectively slidably inserted into the guide grooves 5550 of the other connecting member 555, so that the two connecting caps 5612, the two rotating shafts 5644 and the positioning rod 5657 are respectively inserted into the two first shaft holes 535, the two connecting holes 536 and the fixing hole 537. The bases 53 of the two folding assisting assemblies 51 are respectively positioned on the two locking portions 592 of the back shell 59, and the supporting mechanism 52 is placed in front of the two folding assisting assemblies 51, so that the middle supporting member 521 covers the fronts of the two bases 53. The locking member passes through the connecting hole 5212 on the middle supporting member 521 and the mounting hole 533 on the base 53 and is locked in the locking hole 5942 of the corresponding connecting column 594; the two rotating tracks 5556 of each connecting member 555 are respectively rotatably received in a corresponding pair of rotating grooves 5234, and the guide sliding shafts 5628 of each link member 562 are passed through the corresponding guide grooves 5237. The rotating member 550 can rotate relative to the base 53 about the first axis, the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 can respectively rotate relative to the base 53 about the second axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561, and the first axis is spaced parallel to the second axis. The folding device 50 can be folded or unfolded. Specifically, one connecting member 555 drives the corresponding rotating member 550 and the first link member 562 to respectively rotate relative to the base 53. The rotation of the first link member 562 drives the second link member 563 to rotate synchronously relative to the base 53 through the gear combination 564, and the two rotating shafts 561 respectively rotate synchronously relative to the base 53 to realize the synchronous folding or synchronous flattening of the two rotating mechanisms 55.
[0076] When the folding device 50 is in a flattened state, the first adjusting portion 5722 is positioned at the first positioning end 5734a, the second adjusting portion 5742 is positioned at the third positioning end 5735a, the first guide shaft 5628 and the second guide shaft 5638 are respectively positioned at the second positioning segments 5237b of the two side support members 523, and the positioning portion 5656 abuts against the second limiting surface so that the folding device 50 maintains the flattened state, preventing the side support members 523 from being bent back relative to the middle support member 521. The front surfaces of the two side support members 523 and the front surface of the middle support member 521 are coplanar. When the two side support members 523 are in a folded state, the first adjusting portion 5722 is positioned at the second positioning end 5734b, the second adjusting portion 5742 is positioned at the fourth positioning end 5735b, the first guide shaft 5628 and the second guide shaft 5638 are respectively positioned at the first positioning segments 5237a of the two side support members 523, and the positioning portion 5656 abuts against the first limiting surface so that the folding device 50 maintains the folded state. The side support members 523 are inclined relative to the middle support member 521, and the front surface of the middle support member 521 and the front surfaces of the two side support members 523 enclose a water droplet shape. When the folding device 50 changes from the flattened state to the folded state, the first adjusting portion 5722 slides and rotates from the first positioning end 5734a of the first spiral groove 5734 to the second positioning end 5734b. At the same time, the third positioning end 5735a of the second spiral groove 5735 of the second adjusting portion 5742 slides and rotates to the fourth positioning end 5735b, and the first guide shaft 5628 and the second guide shaft 5638 respectively slide and rotate from the second positioning segments 5237b in the corresponding guide grooves 5237 to the first positioning segments 5237a. When the folding device 50 changes from the folded state to the flattened state, the first adjusting portion 5722 slides and rotates from the second positioning end 5734b of the first spiral groove 5734 to the first positioning end 5734a. At the same time, the fourth positioning end 5735b of the second spiral groove 5735 of the second adjusting portion 5742 slides and rotates to the third positioning end 5735a, and the first guide shaft 5628 and the second guide shaft 5638 respectively slide and rotate from the first positioning segments 5237a in the corresponding guide grooves 5237 to the second positioning segments 5237b.
[0077] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, place the installed folding device 50 between the two frames 21, and respectively accommodate the connecting members 555 on the opposite sides of the folding device 50 in the installation grooves 216 of the two frames 21 and fixedly connect them to the two frames 21. The first front surfaces 211 of the two frames 21, the front surface of the middle support member 521 and the front surfaces of the two side support members 523 are coplanar. Connect the backs of the two non-bending regions 33 of the flexible screen 30 to the front surfaces of the two frames 21 respectively, and the bendable region 31 faces the folding device 50.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 23 to 30When bending the electronic device 100, a bending force is applied to at least one of the two frames 21 of the electronic device 100, causing the rotating mechanism 55 connected to the two frames 21 to rotate in a direction closer to each other. The folding device 50 is bent by the two folding assistance components 51, and the bendable area 31 is bent along with the support mechanism 52. Specifically, when a bending force is applied to one frame 21, the one frame 21 drives the corresponding rotating mechanism 55 to rotate relative to the base 53 towards the side closer to the flexible screen 30; so as to drive the first link member 562 to rotate relative to the base 53 towards the side closer to the flexible screen 30 along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561. At the same time, the first guide rail 5620 of the first link member 562 slides in the guide groove 5550 of the corresponding connecting member 555, and the first sleeve 5622, the rotating shaft 561, the driving gear 5641 and the first adjusting cylinder 572 of the first link member 562 rotate along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561. The rotating driving gear 5641 drives another driving gear 5641 to rotate through the gear combination of the synchronous gear 5643, and then drives the corresponding rotating shaft 561, the second sleeve 5632, the second adjusting cylinder 574 and the second link 5633 to rotate, so that the first link member 562 and the second link member 563 of the linkage mechanism 56 approach each other synchronously; at the same time, the first adjusting part 5722 moves in the first spiral groove 5734 and the second adjusting part 5742 moves in the second spiral groove 5735, so that the first sliding cylinder 5731 slides relative to the first adjusting cylinder 572 and the second sliding cylinder 5733 slides relative to the second adjusting cylinder 574. The abutting member 573 slides axially along the rotating shaft 561 to squeeze the elastic member 575. The elastic member 575 elastically pushes the positioning member 576 so that the friction member 5770 is clamped between the buckle 5775 and the positioning member 576, and the friction member 5770 rotates relative to the positioning member 576 along with the corresponding rotating shaft 561. The first rotating part 552 of the rotating member 550 rotates relative to the base 53 through the cooperation of the arc track and the corresponding arc groove. The second rotating part 553 of the rotating member 550 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting member 555 along the corresponding rotating shaft 551. The first link member 562 and the second link member 563 rotate along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561 and approach each other, so as to realize the mutual approach of the two side support members 523, making the folding device 50 in a bent state. The bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is bent along with the folding device 50 until the fronts of the two non-bendable areas 33 of the flexible screen 30 are mutually attached, and the bendable area 31 is bent into a water droplet shape, thus realizing the seamless folding of the electronic device 100.
[0079] During the bending process of the electronic device 100, the sum of the frictional torque between the first adjusting portion 5722 and the inner surface of the first spiral groove 5734, the frictional torque between the second adjusting portion 5742 and the inner surface of the second spiral groove 5735, and the frictional resistance of the first friction member 5770 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 at a specific angle between 180 degrees and 0 degrees. When the two frames 21 are flattened and limited at 180 degrees, the bendable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 is flattened; when the two frames 21 are folded and limited at 0 degrees, the two non-bendable areas 33 of the flexible screen 30 are parallel to each other, the bendable area 31 is in a water droplet shape, reducing the duty ratio of the bendable area 31 after bending, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the electronic device 100.
[0080] 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 toward the side close to the flexible screen 30, and the folding device 50 is used to realize the bending of the electronic device 100.
[0081] When the electronic device 100 needs to be flattened, a frame 21 is pulled outwards, so that two rotating mechanisms 55 connected to the two frames 21 rotate in a direction away from each other, and the folding device 50 is flattened through two folding assistance components 51, and the foldable area 31 is flattened along with the support mechanism 52. Specifically, an outward pulling force is applied to a frame 21 of the electronic device 100, and this frame 21 drives the corresponding rotating mechanism 55 to rotate relative to the base 53 to the side away from the flexible screen 30, so that the first guide rail 5620 of the first link 562 slides in the guide chute 5550 of the corresponding connecting member 555, and the first sleeve 5622, the rotating shaft 561, the driving gear 5641 and the first adjusting cylinder 572 of the first link 562 rotate along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561. The driving gear 5641 in rotation drives another driving gear 5641 to rotate through the synchronous gear 5643, and the rotation of the other driving gear 5641 drives the corresponding rotating shaft 561, the second sleeve 5632, the second adjusting cylinder 574 and the second link 5633 to rotate along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561, so that the first link 562 and the second link 563 of the linkage mechanism 56 move away from each other synchronously; at the same time, the first adjusting part 5722 moves in the first spiral groove 5734 and the second adjusting part 5742 moves in the second spiral groove 5735, so that the first sliding cylinder 5731 slides relative to the first adjusting cylinder 572 and the second sliding cylinder 5733 slides relative to the second adjusting cylinder 574. The elastic member 575 elastically pushes against the positioning member 576 so that the friction member 5770 is clamped between the buckle 5775 and the positioning member 576, and the friction member 5770 rotates relative to the positioning member 576 along with the corresponding rotating shaft 561. During the flattening process of the linkage mechanism 56, the first rotating part 552 of the rotating member 550 rotates relative to the base 53, and the second rotating part 553 of the rotating member 550 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting member 555, so that the first link 562 and the second link 563 rotate along the axis of the corresponding rotating shaft 561 respectively and move away from each other, so as to realize the mutual separation of the two side support members 523, make the folding device 50 unfold, and the foldable area 31 of the flexible screen 30 unfolds along with the folding device 50 until the flexible screen 30 is flattened.
[0082] During the flattening process of the electronic device 100, the sum of the frictional torque between the first adjusting part 5722 and the inner surface of the first spiral groove 5734, the frictional torque between the second adjusting part 5742 and the inner surface of the second spiral groove 5735, and the frictional resistance of the first friction member 5770 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 at a specific angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.
[0083] In other bending methods of the electronic device 100, a force that pulls the two frames 21 outward can also be applied simultaneously. The two frames 21 respectively drive the base 53 to rotate away from each other relative to the rotating mechanisms 55 on both sides, so as to drive the two link members 562 on both sides of the base 53 to rotate away from each other, causing the two side support members 523 to rotate away from the flexible screen 30, and realizing the unfolding of the electronic device 100 through the folding device 50.
[0084] The folding device 50 of the electronic device 100 of the present invention replaces the cam structure of the folding device in the prior art through the cooperation of the first adjusting portion 5722 and the first spiral groove 5734 and the cooperation of the second adjusting portion 5742 and the second spiral groove 5735. By moving the first adjusting portion 5722 in the first spiral groove 5734 and the second adjusting portion 5742 in the second spiral groove 5735, the sliding of the abutting member 573 relative to the first adjusting cylinder 572 and the second adjusting cylinder 574 is realized, so that the abutting member 573 abuts against the elastic member 575, avoiding the problem of wear on the contact surface between the cams, enabling the electronic device 100 to have a better folding feel and hovering effect, and being beneficial to the miniaturization development of the folding device 50; secondly, the frictional resistance of the folding device 50 can stably limit the bending of the electronic device 100 at a specific angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, realizing the hovering function of the whole machine.
[0085] The above are the implementation manners of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principles of the embodiments of the present invention, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
