[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device in a flattened state in some embodiments of the present application. The electronic device 100 may include a housing mechanism 101 and a display module 102 disposed on the housing mechanism 101. The housing mechanism 101 may be used to carry the display module 102, and electronic components such as a circuit board, a battery, and a camera may be installed inside. The display module 102 is used to display information. The display module 102 may be a display screen well-known to those skilled in the art or other devices with a display function. The display module 102 may be electrically connected to electronic components such as a circuit board, a battery, and a camera inside the housing mechanism 101. The display module 102 may be made of a flexible material and is deformable and bendable. In some embodiments, the display module 102 is a flexible display screen.
[0042] The housing mechanism 101 is foldable, and thus can drive the display module 102 to fold, realizing the folding of the display module 102. In Figure 1 , the electronic device 100 is in a flattened state, the housing mechanism 101 is in a flattened state, the display module 102 is in a flattened state, and the display module 102 is located on one side of the housing mechanism 101. When the housing mechanism 101 is bent and folded toward the side close to the display module 102, the display module 102 will also be bent and folded, and thus the display module 102 is bent and folded toward the side away from the housing mechanism 101. In some embodiments, the middle part of the housing mechanism 101 may be bent and folded toward the side close to the display module 102.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 which Figure 1 is an exploded view of a partial structure of the housing mechanism 101 in the illustrated embodiment. The housing mechanism 101 may include a first housing 10 for carrying and mounting the display module 102, a second housing 20 for carrying and mounting the display module 102, and a rotating shaft module 30 connecting the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 and for carrying the display module 102. The first housing 10 and / or the second housing 20 may be used for carrying and mounting electronic components such as a circuit board, a battery, a camera, etc. The first housing 10, the second housing 20, and the rotating shaft module 30 cooperate together to support and mount the display module 102. The rotating shaft module 30 is foldable, such that the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 move under the folding of the rotating shaft module 30. Further, the housing mechanism 101 is folded in half under the folding action of the rotating shaft module 30. In Figure 1 and Figure 2 , when the housing mechanism 101 is in a flattened state, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are arranged side by side, and the rotating shaft module 30 connects the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. In some embodiments, when the housing mechanism 101 is in a flattened state, the rotating shaft module 30 is connected to a side of the first housing 10 close to the second housing 20 and is connected to a side of the second housing 20 close to the first housing 10.
[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. herein and hereinafter are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features.
[0045] When the housing mechanism 101 is in a flattened state, the display module 102 may be mounted on the same side of the housing mechanism 101, such as the first housing 10, the second housing 20, and the rotating shaft module 30, for displaying information.
[0046] In Figure 1 and Figure 2In this case, through the folding action of the rotation shaft module 30, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 of the electronic device 100 can move, such that the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are stacked, realizing the folding of the electronic device 100, for example, the housing mechanism 101 is folded in half. Furthermore, the display module 102 moves along with the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, and is folded in half at the position corresponding to the rotation shaft module 30, realizing the folding of the display module 102 of the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can also unfold the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 through the unfolding action of the rotation shaft module 30, and then the display module 102 becomes flat along with the unfolding of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, so as to support the display module 102, which is more convenient for the user to further use the display module 102. It can be understood that the housing mechanism 101 may include not only two housings (for example, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20) and the rotation shaft module 30. The number of housings in the housing mechanism 101 can be multiple, and the number of rotation shaft modules 30 can also be multiple. Two housings to be connected among the multiple housings (for example, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20) are connected through the rotation shaft module 30.
[0047] In some embodiments, when the housing mechanism 101 is in the fully folded state after the folding action, the display module 102 can be located between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. That is, the housing mechanism 101 folds toward the side close to the display module 102 during the folding action. The housing mechanism 101 can protect the display module 102 to avoid scratching the display module 102 in some scenarios.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the housings, such as the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, can be formed of plastic, glass, ceramic, fiber composite material, metal (such as stainless steel, aluminum, etc.) or other suitable materials or a combination of these materials.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 For Figure 2 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the cooperation between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 in the illustrated embodiment. The first housing 10 may include a first main housing 11 for carrying and mounting the display module 102 on one side, a first convex edge 12 provided on the side of the first main housing 11 facing the second housing 20 and used for supporting the rotation shaft module 30, a first base 13 mounted on the side of the first convex edge 12 close to the display module 102 and used for connecting with the rotation shaft module 30, and a first support plate 14 provided on the side of the first base 13 away from the first convex edge 12 and cooperating with the first main housing 11 and the rotation shaft module 30 to support the display module 102. In some embodiments, Figure 3 The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 in are arranged side by side when the housing mechanism 101 is in the flattened state.
[0050] An accommodation space can be provided inside the first main housing 11 to accommodate and mount electronic components such as a circuit board and a battery. In some embodiments, the display module 102 can be mounted on the surface of one side of the first main housing 11 in the thickness direction. The first convex edge 12 can extend from the first main housing 11 toward the side close to the second housing 20. Further, the first convex edge 12 can cooperate with the first main housing 11 such that the first housing 10 forms a first installation space 1001 at the position corresponding to the first convex edge 12, and the first housing 10 can install the first base 13, the first support plate 14, and the rotating shaft module 30 in the first installation space 1001.
[0051] In some embodiments, the surface of the first convex edge 12 on the side away from the display module 102 is flush with the surface of the first main housing 11 on the side away from the display module 102. The first installation space 1001 is provided on the side of the first convex edge 12 close to the display module 102. The thickness of the first main housing 11 can be greater than the thickness of the first convex edge 12, so that there is a height difference between the first convex edge 12 and the first main housing 11 on the side close to the display module 102, and thus the first installation space 1001 is formed during cooperation.
[0052] The first base 13 can be fixed to the first main housing 11 and / or the first convex edge 12 by means of adhesion, clamping, welding, screwing, or soldering. In some embodiments, the first base 13 can be a part of the first main housing 11 and / or the first convex edge 12.

[0054] A first base 13 may be provided with a first rotating part 132 for rotatably connecting with a rotating shaft module 30. In some embodiments, the first rotating part 132 may have a first rotation axis, such that when rotatably connected with the rotating shaft module 30, the rotating shaft module 30 rotates around the first rotation axis. In some embodiments, the first rotation axis may be perpendicular to the extending direction of the first sliding rail 131. In some embodiments, the first rotation axis may be perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first main housing 11. In some embodiments, the first rotating part 132 is disposed on a side of the first base 13 close to the display module 102. In some embodiments, the first rotating part 132 may be a structure provided with a rotating hole or a rotating shaft, etc., and of course, it may also be a structure that can achieve rotation well-known to those skilled in the art.

In some embodiments, the first sliding rail 131 and / or the first rotating part 132 may be directly disposed on the first convex edge 12 and / or the first main housing 11. In some embodiments, the first rotating part 132 is disposed on a side of the first base 13 away from the first convex edge 12.
[0056] The first support plate 14 may be fixed to the first base 13 and / or the first main housing 11 and / or the first convex edge 12 by means of bonding, clamping, welding, screwing or welding, etc., such that the first base 13 is located between the first convex edge 12 and the first support plate 14. In some embodiments, the first support plate 14 may cooperate with the first main housing 11 to carry the display module 102, ensuring that the parts of the display module 102 corresponding to the first main housing 11 and the first support plate 14 are smoothly connected and transitioned. In some embodiments, the surface of the first support plate 14 on a side away from the first convex edge 12 may be flush with the surface of the first main housing 11 on a side close to the display module 102, so as to cooperate with the first main housing 11 to carry the display module 102. In some embodiments, the surface of the first support plate 14 on a side away from the first convex edge 12 (i.e., the surface of the first support plate 14 carrying the display module 102) may be parallel to the extending direction of the first sliding rail 131.

The second installation space 2001 is provided on the side of the second flange 22 close to the display module 102. The thickness of the second main housing 21 may be greater than the thickness of the second flange 22, such that the second flange 22 has a height difference from the second main housing 21 on the side close to the display module 102, and thus a second installation space 2001 is formed during cooperation.
[0062] In some embodiments, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the second installation space 2001 may communicate with the first installation space 1001 to jointly cooperate to accommodate the rotation shaft module 30. The second base 23 may be fixed to the second main housing 21 and / or the second flange 22 by means such as bonding, snap connection, welding, screwing, or soldering.

In some embodiments, the surface of the second support plate 24 on the side away from the second flange 22 can be flush with the surface of the second main housing 21 on the side close to the display module 102, so as to cooperate with the second main housing 21 to carry the display module 102. In some embodiments, the surface of the second support plate 24 on the side away from the second flange 22 (i.e., the surface of the second support plate 24 that carries the display module 102) can be parallel to the extending direction of the second slide rail 231.
[0068] In some embodiments, the second support plate 24 can be a part of the second base 23 and / or the second main housing 21 and / or the second flange 22. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the second support plate 24 can be disposed opposite to the first support plate 14. The surface of the second support plate 24 on the side away from the second flange 22 can be flush with the surface of the first support plate 14 on the side away from the first flange 12. The second support plate 24 can be a part of the rotating shaft module 30.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 , the rotating shaft module 30 can include a rotating shaft bracket 31 disposed in the first installation space 1001 and the second installation space 2001, a first connection component 32 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft bracket 31 and connected to the first housing 10 such as the first base 13, and a second connection component 33 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft bracket 31 and connected to the second housing 20 such as the second base 23. The rotating shaft bracket 31 can be used to support the display module 102. The first connection component 32 realizes the connection of the rotating shaft module 30 such as the rotating shaft bracket 31 to the first housing 10 such as the first base 13. The second connection component 33 realizes the connection of the rotating shaft module 30 such as the rotating shaft bracket 31 to the second housing 20 such as the second base 23. When the first connection component 32 and the second connection component 33 rotate respectively in the rotating shaft module 30, the folding of the housing mechanism 101 is realized.

In some embodiments, when the housing mechanism 101 is in the folded state, the gap between the first housing 10, such as the first convex edge 12, and the second housing 20, such as the second convex edge 22, expands, making the base 311 exposed, and the base 311 can exactly block the gap between the first housing 10, such as the first convex edge 12, and the second housing 20, such as the second convex edge 22.

[0086] In some embodiments, a second pivot end 3311 is provided at one end of the second movable arm 331 to be rotatably connected to the support plate 312, such as the second pivot portion 3142.

[0089] In some embodiments, one end of the second connecting arm 332 is provided with a second sliding end 3321 for sliding connection with the support plate 312, such as the second sliding portion 3132.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the extension direction of the second sliding end 3321 is an arc. In some embodiments, the configuration of the second sliding end 3321 allows the second connecting arm 332 to rotate about the second limiting axis when it slides in the direction in which the second sliding end 3321 extends. In some embodiments, the second limiting axis is closer to the display module 102 than the second pivot axis. In some embodiments, the second sliding end 3321 may be a structure provided with an arc-shaped slide, an arc-shaped slider, or an arc-shaped slide groove, so that the second sliding end 3321 and the second sliding portion 3132 can be slidably connected by the arc-shaped slider extending into the arc-shaped slide groove.

[0091] See also Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 1The embodiment shown is a partial structural diagram of the electronic device 100 in a fully folded state. Due to the arrangement of the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 24, the first support plate 14 cannot move relative to the first main housing 11 when the electronic device 100 is folded or unfolded, and the second support plate 24 cannot move relative to the second main housing 21 when the electronic device 100 is folded or unfolded. This will cause the display module 102 to produce Figure 7 The "U" shape shown. Figure 7 In some embodiments, when the display module 102 is folded in half, the portion of the display module 102 corresponding to the hinge module 30 forms a semicircular curved structure. The hinge module 30 is provided to accommodate the "U" shape of the display module 102.
[0092] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, the electronic device 100 is in a flattened state, and the hinge bracket 31, such as the support plate 312, cooperates with the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, the first support plate 14, the second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21, and the second support plate 24 to support the display module 102. The first support plate 14 can cooperate with the support plate 312 to shield the first movable arm 321 and the first connecting arm 322, thereby enabling support and installation of the display module 102 while reducing contact between the first movable arm 321 and the first connecting arm 322 and the display module 102. The second support plate 24 can cooperate with the support plate 312 to shield the second movable arm 331 and the second connecting arm 332, thereby enabling support and installation of the display module 102 while reducing contact between the second movable arm 331 and the second connecting arm 332 and the display module 102.
[0093] When folding the electronic device 100, force can be applied to the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, and the second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21, so that the housing mechanism 101 bends toward the side closer to the display module 102. Furthermore, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, bends toward the side closer to the display module 102. Under the condition that the first base 13, such as the first slide rail 131, and the first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321, can only slide but not rotate, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, can only rotate through the first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321, and the support plate 312, such as the first pivot portion 3141, and rotates around the first pivot axis. At the same time, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, can rotate through the first connecting component 32, such as the first connecting arm 322, and the support plate 312, such as the first sliding portion 3131, and rotates around the first limit axis. When the first limiting axis and the first pivot axis do not coincide, spatial interference occurs between the first connecting arm 322, the first movable arm 321, and the first base 13. This spatial interference can only be resolved by rotatably connecting the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, and the first connecting component 32, such as the first connecting arm 322, and rotating about the first rotation axis in conjunction with sliding movement between the first base 13, such as the first slide rail 131, and the first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321. The first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321, moves away from the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11.
[0094] Because the housing mechanism 101 bends toward the side closer to the display module 102, the portion of the display module 102 corresponding to the hinge module 30 is pressed against the support plate 312 when folded. The first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321, moves toward the side away from the first housing 10, such as the first main shell 11, causing the support plate 312 to move away from the display module 102, leaving space for the display module 102. This allows the display module 102 to assume a "U" shape when the electronic device 100 is fully folded. It is understood that if the support plate 312 does not give way to the display module 102, the display module 102 will assume a teardrop shape when the electronic device 100 is fully folded, rather than a "U" shape. Furthermore, to accommodate the teardrop shape of the display module 102, the prior art also requires the first support plate 14 to be provided as a rotating member to give way to the display module 102 during rotation without moving the hinge bracket 31, such as the support plate 312.
[0095] Furthermore, the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, is bent towards the side close to the display module 102. The second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, can only rotate through the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331, and the pallet 312, for example, the second pivoting portion 3142, under the limit that the second base 23, for example, the second slide rail 231, and the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331, can only slide but not rotate, and rotates around the second pivoting axis. At the same time, the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, rotates through the second connection component 33, for example, the second connecting arm 332, and the pallet 312, for example, the second sliding portion 3132, and rotates around the second limit axis. When the second limit axis does not coincide with the second pivoting axis, there is a problem of spatial interference among the second connecting arm 332, the second movable arm 331, and the second base 23. The second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, is rotatably connected to the second connection component 33, for example, the second connecting arm 332, and rotates around the second rotation axis, and cooperates with the second base 23, for example, the second slide rail 231, and the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331, to slide to solve the problem of spatial interference. Among them, the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331, moves towards the side away from the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21.
[0096] Since the housing mechanism 101 is bent towards the side close to the display module 102, the portion of the display module 102 corresponding to the rotation shaft module 30 will be pressed by the pallet 312 when folded in half. And the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331, moves towards the side away from the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, causing the pallet 312 to move towards the side away from the display module 102 to make room for the display module 102, so that the display module 102 presents a "U" shape when the electronic device 100 is fully folded. It can be understood that if the pallet 312 does not give way to the display module 102, the display module 102 will present a water droplet shape instead of a "U" shape when the electronic device 100 is fully folded. In addition, in the prior art, in order to cooperate with the water droplet shape of the display module 102, a second support plate 24 also needs to be provided as a rotating member to give way to the display module 102 during rotation without moving the rotation shaft bracket 31, for example, the pallet 312.
[0097] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 is in a fully folded state, the surface of the display module 102 supported by the first housing 10, for example, the first support plate 14, and the surface of the display module 102 supported by the second housing 20, for example, the second support plate 24, can be arranged in parallel.
[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 For Figure 2 a partial structural schematic diagram of the rotation shaft module 30 in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 9for Figure 8 An exploded view of the rotating shaft module 30 in the illustrated embodiment. The first support plate 14 can be fixed to the first movable arm 321 by bonding, clamping, welding, screwing, or welding, such that the first base 13 is located between the first flange 12 and the first support plate 14. The first support plate 14 can be part of the first movable arm 321.
[0099] In some embodiments, the first sliding portion 3131 extends in an arc direction, the first pivoting portion 3141 extends in an arc direction, and the arc radius of the first sliding portion 3131 is greater than the arc radius of the first pivoting portion 3141 .
[0100] In some embodiments, the second sliding portion 3132 extends in an arc, the second pivoting portion 3142 extends in an arc, and the arc radius of the second sliding portion 3132 is greater than the arc radius of the second pivoting portion 3142 .
[0101] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second support plate 24 can be fixed to the second movable arm 331 by bonding, clamping, welding, screwing or welding, so that the second base 23 is located between the second flange 22 and the second support plate 24. The second support plate 24 can be a part of the second movable arm 331.
[0102] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 , Figure 10 for Figure 9 The illustrated embodiment is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the hinge module 30 in some embodiments. The first pivot end 3211 and the first movable end 3212 are both disposed on the first support plate 14. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first movable arm 321 may be omitted, and the first pivot end 3211 and the first movable end 3212 may be formed as part of the first support plate 14.
[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The second pivot end 3311 and the second movable end 3312 are both disposed on the second support plate 24. The second movable arm 331 may be omitted, and the second pivot end 3311 and the second movable end 3312 may serve as part of the first support plate 14.
[0104] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 The support plate 312 can be omitted from the hinge bracket 31 to reduce the thickness of the hinge bracket 31, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device 100. Accordingly, the first sliding portion 3131, the second sliding portion 3132, the first pivoting portion 3141, and the second pivoting portion 3142 can be disposed on the base 311.
[0105] In some embodiments, seeFigure 8 , the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 24 can extend above the base 311 to replace all or part of the support plate 312 in Figure 2 , function as the support plate 312, and cooperate with each other to carry the display module 102. Furthermore, the support plate 312 can be omitted. Of course, the support plate 312 can also not be omitted and can be set according to the above embodiments. Moreover, the shape of the support plate 312 can also be set to cooperate with Figure 8 the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 24 in
[0106] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 is Figure 1 a partial structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 based on Figure 8 when the rotating shaft module 30 is in a fully folded state in the illustrated embodiment. When the rotating shaft module 30 based on Figure 8 of the electronic device 100 is in a flattened state, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11 and the first support plate 14, and the second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21 and the second support plate 24, support the display module 102. The first support plate 14 can shield the first movable arm 321 and the first connecting arm 322, and realize the carrying and installation of the display module 102 while reducing the contact between the first movable arm 321 and the first connecting arm 322 and the display module 102 respectively. The second support plate 24 can shield the second movable arm 331 and the second connecting arm 332, and realize the carrying and installation of the display module 102 while reducing the contact between the second movable arm 331 and the second connecting arm 332 and the display module 102 respectively.
[0107] When folding the electronic device 100, force can be applied to the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, and the second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21, so that the housing mechanism 101 bends toward the side close to the display module 102. Further, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, bends toward the side close to the display module 102. Under the limit that the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, can only slide but not rotate on the first base 13, such as the first slide rail 131, and the first connection component 32, such as the first movable arm 321 and the first support plate 14, it can only rotate through the first connection component 32, such as the first movable arm 321 and the first support plate 14, and the base 311, such as the first pivot joint portion 3141, and rotates around the first pivot axis. At the same time, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, rotates through the first connection component 32, such as the first connecting arm 322, and the base 311, such as the first sliding portion 3131, and rotates around the first limit axis. When the first limit axis does not coincide with the first pivot axis, there is a problem of spatial interference among the first connecting arm 322, the first movable arm 321 (and the first support plate 14), and the first base 13. The first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, is rotatably connected to the first connection component 32, such as the first connecting arm 322, and rotates around the first rotation axis, and cooperates with the first base 13, such as the first slide rail 131, and the first connection component 32, such as the first movable arm 321 (and the first support plate 14) sliding to solve the problem of spatial interference. Among them, the first connection component 32, such as the first movable arm 321 and the first support plate 14, moves toward the side away from the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11.
[0108] Furthermore, the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, is bent towards the side close to the display module 102. The second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, is limited by the second base 23, for example, the second slide rail 231, and the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331 and the second support plate 24, so that it can only slide but not rotate. Therefore, it can only rotate around the second pivot axis through the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331 and the first support plate 14 and the base 311, for example, the second pivot portion 3142. At the same time, the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, can rotate around the second limit axis through the second connection component 33, for example, the second connecting arm 332 and the base 311, for example, the second sliding portion 3132. When the second limit axis does not coincide with the second pivot axis, there is a problem of spatial interference between the second connecting arm 332, the second movable arm 331 (and the second support plate 24), and the second base 23. The second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21, is rotatably connected to the second connection component 33, for example, the second connecting arm 332, and rotates around the second rotation axis, and cooperates with the second base 23, for example, the second slide rail 231 and the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331 (and the second support plate 24) to slide to solve the problem of spatial interference. Among them, the second connection component 33, for example, the second movable arm 331 and the second support plate 24 move towards the side away from the second housing 20, for example, the second main housing 21.

Furthermore, the cooperation mode between the first pivot portion 3141 and the first pivot end 3211 can refer to the cooperation mode between the first sliding portion 3131 and the first sliding end 3221, which will not be elaborated here. The first pivot portion 3141 or the first sliding portion 3131 can rotate around the first pivot axis.
[0111] In some embodiments, for thinning, the second pivot portion 3142 may be arranged in the same way as the second sliding portion 3132, and the second pivot end 3311 may be arranged in the same way as the second sliding end 3321. Furthermore, the cooperation mode between the second pivot portion 3142 and the second pivot end 3311 may refer to the cooperation mode between the second sliding portion 3132 and the second sliding end 3321, which will not be elaborated here. The second pivot portion 3142 or the second sliding portion 3132 can rotate around the second pivot axis.
[0112] The first rotating portion 132 on the first base 13 can extend towards the side closer to the rotating shaft module 30 and is rotatably connected to the tray 312, so that when rotatably connected to the tray 312, the tray 312 rotates around the first rotation axis, and the first connecting arm 322 can be omitted. In some embodiments, the first rotating portion 132 is arranged on the side of the tray 312 away from the base 311.

[0114] In some embodiments, for thinning, the first rotating portion 132 may be arranged in the same way as the first sliding portion 3131. Furthermore, the extending direction of the first rotating portion 132 is an arc. In some embodiments, the arrangement of the first rotating portion 132 enables the tray 312 to achieve a sliding connection and rotate around the first rotation axis when sliding in the extending direction of the first rotating portion 132. The specific arrangement of the first rotating portion 132 may refer to the first sliding portion 3131. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first rotating portion 132 may be arranged in the same way as the first sliding end 3221, and the specific arrangement may refer to the first sliding end 3221.
[0115] The second rotating part 232 on the second base 23 can extend towards the side close to the rotating shaft module 30 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 312, so that when rotatably connected to the support plate 312, the support plate 312 rotates around the second rotation axis, and the second connecting arm 332 can be omitted. In some embodiments, the second rotating part 232 is arranged on the side of the support plate 312 away from the base 311. In some embodiments, the second rotating part 232 is arranged on the side of the support plate 312 close to the base 311. In some embodiments, the second rotating part 232 is arranged on the side of the support plate 312 close to the base 311. Of course, it can also be on the side surface of the support plate 312. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis can be on the side of the support plate 312 away from the base 311. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis can be inside the support plate 312. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis is closer to the base 311 than the second pivoting axis. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis is farther from the first pivoting axis than the second pivoting axis. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis and the first rotation axis are respectively at the same distance from the display module 102. In some embodiments, the distance between the second rotation axis and the second pivoting axis is the same as the distance between the first rotation axis and the first pivoting axis. The plane where the second rotation axis and the first rotation axis are located is parallel to the plane where the first pivoting axis and the second pivoting axis are located. The midpoint of the shortest connection line between the second rotation axis and the first pivoting axis and the midpoint of the shortest connection line between the first rotation axis and the second pivoting axis can both be located on a straight line parallel to the second pivoting axis. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis is farther from the base 311 than the second limiting axis. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis is farther from the first limiting axis than the second limiting axis. In some embodiments, the second rotation axis and the first rotation axis are respectively at the same distance from the display module 102. In some embodiments, the distance between the second rotation axis and the second limiting axis is the same as the distance between the first rotation axis and the first limiting axis. In some embodiments, the plane where the second rotation axis and the first rotation axis are located is parallel to the plane where the first limiting axis and the second limiting axis are located. In some embodiments, the midpoint of the shortest connection line between the second rotation axis and the first limiting axis and the midpoint of the shortest connection line between the first rotation axis and the second limiting axis can both be located on a straight line parallel to the second limiting axis. In some embodiments, the distance between the second rotation axis and the first rotation axis is larger than the distance between the first limiting axis and the second limiting axis.
[0116] In some embodiments, for thinning, the second rotating portion 232 may adopt the setting mode of the second sliding portion 3132, and thus the extending direction of the second rotating portion 232 is an arc. In some embodiments, the setting of the second rotating portion 232 enables the pallet 312 to achieve a sliding connection when sliding in the extending direction of the second rotating portion 232 and to rotate around the second rotation axis. For the specific setting of the second rotating portion 232, reference may be made to the second sliding portion 3132. Further, in some embodiments, the second rotating portion 232 may adopt the setting mode of the second sliding end 3321, and for the specific setting, reference may be made to the second sliding end 3321.
[0117] In some embodiments, the pallet 312 may cover a part of the base 311 so that the second pivoting portion 3142 and the first pivoting portion 3141 are exposed and directly cooperate with the first sliding portion 3131 and the second sliding portion 3132. In some embodiments, the pallet 312 may cover the first sliding portion 3131 and the second sliding portion 3132.
[0118] The pallet 312 may include a first sub - plate 3121 and a second sub - plate 3122 which are arranged side by side and are respectively slidably connected to the base 311. The first sub - plate 3121 may be connected to the first base 13, such as the first rotating portion 132, and the second sub - plate 3122 may be connected to the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232.

In some embodiments, the first sub-sliding portion 3124 extends in an arc.

In some embodiments, the first sub-sliding portion 3124 is located on a side of the first sub-plate 3121 away from the base 311.

In some embodiments, the second sub-connecting portion 3125 extends in an arc. In some embodiments, the second sub-connecting portion 3125 is configured so that the second sliding portion 3132 can rotate about the second limiting axis when sliding in the direction of the second sub-connecting portion 3125. In some embodiments, the second sub-connecting portion 3125 is located on a side of the second sub-plate 3122 proximal to the base 311. In some embodiments, the second sub-connecting portion 3125 can be configured in the same manner as the second sliding end 3321 to facilitate engagement with the second sliding portion 3132.
[0122] The second sub-plate 3122 is provided with a second sub-sliding portion 3126 for connection with the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232. In some embodiments, the second sub-sliding portion 3126 extends in an arc.

[0125] It can be understood that based on Figure 12 - Figure 13 shown, the rotating shaft module 30 can carry and mount the display module 102. Of course, in some embodiments, the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 24 can also be modified or omitted. In some embodiments, the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 24 can also be designed, modified or omitted according to the above embodiments. In some embodiments, the shape of the rotating shaft module 30 can also be adaptively modified to carry and mount the display module 102. In some embodiments, other structures can also be added to the rotating shaft module 30 to carry and mount the display module 102. In some embodiments, the tray 312 can carry and mount the display module 102 together with the base 311, the first movable arm 321 and / or the second movable arm 331, etc. In some embodiments, the tray 312 can cooperate with the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 24 to support the display module 102. In some embodiments, Figures 1 - 11 The technical solution shown can also adopt Figures 12 - 14 shown in the embodiment to design the rotating shaft bracket 31, the first connection component 32, the second connection component 33, the first support plate 14 and / or the second support plate 24, etc.
[0126] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 12 - Figure 14 , Figure 14 For Figure 1 shown in the embodiment, the partial structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 when the rotating shaft module 30 in Figure 12 is in the fully folded state. The content of how the rotating shaft module 30 carries the display module 102 is omitted here (of course, it can also refer to the description in the above embodiments), and only how the rotating shaft module 30 folds or unfolds is described. In Figure 1In the embodiment, the electronic device 100 is in a flattened state. When the electronic device 100 is folded, force can be applied to the first shell 10, such as the first main shell 11, and the second shell 20, such as the second main shell 21, so that the shell mechanism 101 is bent toward the side close to the display module 102.
[0127] Furthermore, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, is bent toward the side closest to the display module 102. When the first base 13, such as the first slide rail 131, and the first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321, are limited to sliding but not rotating, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, can only rotate through the first connecting component 32, such as the first movable arm 321, and the base 311, such as the first pivoting portion 3141, and rotates about the first pivot axis. Simultaneously, the first housing 10, such as the first main housing 11, can be engaged with the first base 13, such as the first rotating portion 132, and the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-sliding portion 3124, and the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-connecting portion 3123, can be engaged with the base 311, such as the first sliding portion 3131. For example, the first base 13, such as the first rotating portion 132, can rotate relative to the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-sliding portion 3124, about the first rotation axis. For example, the first sub-plate 3121, for example, the first sub-sliding portion 3124, rotates about the first rotation axis relative to the first base 13, for example, the first rotating portion 132. For example, the first sub-plate 3121, for example, the first sub-connecting portion 3123, rotates about the first limiting axis relative to the base 311, for example, the first sliding portion 3131. For example, the base 311, for example, the first sliding portion 3131, rotates about the first limiting axis relative to the first sub-plate 3121, for example, the first sub-connecting portion 3123.
[0128] When the first pivot axis, the first rotation axis, and the first limiting axis do not coincide with each other, spatial interference occurs between the first sub-plate 3121, the first movable arm 321, and the first base 13. This spatial interference can be resolved by cooperating between the first base 13, such as the first rotating portion 132, and the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-sliding portion 3124, and the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-connecting portion 3123, and the base 311, such as the first sliding portion 3131, in conjunction with the sliding movement of the first base 13, such as the first slide rail 131, and the first connecting assembly 32, such as the first movable arm 321. The angle at which the first base 13, such as the first rotating portion 132 rotates about the first rotation axis relative to the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-sliding portion 3124, is greater than the angle at which the first sub-plate 3121, such as the first sub-connecting portion 3123, rotates about the first limiting axis relative to the base 311, such as the first sliding portion 3131, thereby allowing the hinge module 30 to yield to the display module 102. The hinge bracket 31 is further thinned so that the display module 102 presents a "U" shape when the electronic device 100 is fully folded.
[0129] Furthermore, the second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21, is bent toward the side close to the display module 102. The second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21, can only rotate around the second pivot axis by rotating through the second connection component 33, such as the second movable arm 331, and the base 311, such as the second pivot portion 3142, under the limit that the second base 23, such as the second slide rail 231, and the second connection component 33, such as the second movable arm 331, can only slide but not rotate. At the same time, the second housing 20, such as the second main housing 21, is matched with the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-slide portion 3126, through the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232, and is matched with the base 311, such as the second slide portion 3132, through the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-connection portion 3125. For example, the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232, rotates relative to the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-slide portion 3126, around the second rotation axis. For example, the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-slide portion 3126, rotates relative to the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232, around the second rotation axis. For example, the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-connection portion 3125, rotates relative to the base 311, such as the second slide portion 3132, around the second limit axis. For example, the base 311, such as the second slide portion 3132, rotates relative to the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-connection portion 3125, around the second limit axis.
[0130] When the second pivot axis, the second rotation axis, and the second limit axis do not coincide with each other, there is a problem of spatial interference between the second sub-board 3122, the second movable arm 331, and the second base 23. The cooperation between the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232, and the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-slide portion 3126, and the cooperation between the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-connection portion 3125, and the base 311, such as the second slide portion 3132, combined with the sliding of the second base 23, such as the second slide rail 231, and the second connection component 33, such as the second movable arm 331, can solve the problem of spatial interference. Among them, the angle at which the second base 23, such as the second rotating portion 232, rotates relative to the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-slide portion 3126, around the second rotation axis will be greater than the angle at which the second sub-board 3122, such as the second sub-connection portion 3125, rotates relative to the base 311, such as the second slide portion 3132, around the second limit axis, so that the rotating shaft module 30 gives way to the display module 102. Further, when the display module 102 presents a "U" shape when the electronic device 100 is fully folded, the thickness of the rotating shaft bracket 31 is reduced.
