[0007] When the electronic device is in the folded state, the deformation assembly is in a first state, and the first sub-shell and the second sub-shell are close to each other.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 13 The electronic device comprises a first shell 10, a second shell 20, and a third shell 30.
[0028] The first shell 10, the second shell 20, and the third shell 30 are sequentially movably connected to switch the electronic device between a folded state and an unfolded state; at least one of the first shell 10, the second shell 20, and the third shell 30 comprises a first sub-shell 11 and a second sub-shell 12, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 are movably connected along the thickness direction of the electronic device, a deformation assembly 40 is arranged between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, the deformation assembly 40 is deformable along the thickness direction of the electronic device to make the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from or close to each other; in the case that the electronic device is in the folded state, the deformation assembly 40 is in a first state, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move close to each other; in the case that the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the deformation assembly 40 is in a second state, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from each other.
[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first shell 10, the second shell 20 and the third shell 30 are sequentially movably connected, the first shell 10 is movable relative to the second shell 20, and the third shell 30 is movable relative to the second shell 20, so that force can be applied to the first shell 10, the second shell 20 and the third shell 30, so that the electronic device is folded or unfolded, which is equivalent to switching the electronic device between the folded state and the unfolded state. In addition, at least one of the first shell 10, the second shell 20 and the third shell 30 includes the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 are movably connected in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the first sub-shell 11 and / or the second sub-shell 12 can move closer to or away from each other once the first sub-shell 11 and / or the second sub-shell 12 is subjected to force, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 changes. In addition, the deformation assembly 40 is arranged between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the deformation assembly 40 is deformable in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the deformation assembly 40 can apply force to the first sub-shell 11 and / or the second sub-shell 12 when the deformation assembly 40 deforms, so that the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move closer to or away from each other. Specifically, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the deformation assembly 40 is in the first state, so that the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move closer to each other, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 decreases, so that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is smaller; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the deformation assembly 40 is in the second state, so that the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from each other, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 returns to the initial thickness, which is equivalent to resetting the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the deformation assembly 40 between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, when the electronic device is switched between the folded state and the unfolded state, the state of the deformation assembly 40 changes, so that when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move closer to each other, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 decreases, so that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is smaller, avoiding the problem that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is larger, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from each other, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 returns, so that the electronic device in the unfolded state is convenient for the user to use, improving the user experience.
[0030] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first shell 10 can only include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, at this time, when the electronic device is switched between the folded state and the unfolded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 changes, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 decreases, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 recovers; the second shell 20 can also only include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the third shell 30 can also only include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12; of course, in the embodiments of the present application, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 can also include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, at this time, when the electronic device is switched between the folded state and the unfolded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 and the thickness of the second shell 20 change, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 decreases and the thickness of the second shell 20 decreases, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 recovers and the thickness of the second shell 20 recovers; the first shell 10 and the third shell 30 can also include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the second shell 20 and the third shell 30 can also include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12; of course, in the embodiments of the present application, the first shell 10, the second shell 20 and the third shell 30 can also include the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, at this time, when the electronic device is switched between the folded state and the unfolded state, the thickness of the first shell 10, the thickness of the second shell 20 and the thickness of the third shell 30 change, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 decreases, the thickness of the second shell 20 decreases and the thickness of the third shell 30 decreases, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the thickness of the first shell 10 recovers, the thickness of the second shell 20 recovers and the thickness of the third shell 30 recovers.
[0031] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , the electronic device can also include a flexible display screen 300, the display screen 300 covers the first shell 10, the second shell 20 and the third shell 30, and the display screen 300 can be folded or unfolded when the electronic device is switched between the folded state and the unfolded state.
[0032] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , the electronic device can also include a first hinge 001 and a second hinge 002, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are hinged through the first hinge 001, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are movably connected, and the second shell 20 and the third shell 30 are hinged through the second hinge 002, so that the second shell 20 and the third shell 30 are movably connected. The number of the first hinge 001 can be set according to actual needs, and the number of the second hinge 002 can be set according to actual needs.
[0033] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the number of deformation assemblies 40 can be set according to actual needs. For example, four deformation assemblies 40 are arranged between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the four deformation assemblies 40 are distributed at intervals. For another example, eight deformation assemblies 40 are arranged between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the eight deformation assemblies 40 are distributed at intervals. The specific number of deformation assemblies 40 between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0034] In addition, in some embodiments, the thickness of the first shell 10, the thickness of the second shell 20, and the thickness of the third shell 30 are equal when the electronic device is in the unfolded state. Through such a setting, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first shell 10, the second shell 20, and the third shell 30 can be located in the same plane, and the thickness of the first shell 10, the thickness of the second shell 20, and the thickness of the third shell 30 are equal, so that the electronic device can be relatively flat when in the unfolded state, avoiding the problem that the electronic device is not flat, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, when the display screen 300 covers the first shell 10, the second shell 20, and the third shell 30, the thickness of the first shell 10, the thickness of the second shell 20, and the thickness of the third shell 30 are equal when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, which can also ensure that the display screen 300 is relatively flat.
[0035] In addition, in some embodiments, the distance between the first end of the deformation assembly 40 and the second end of the deformation assembly 40 is a first distance when the deformation assembly 40 is in the first state, and the distance between the first end of the deformation assembly 40 and the second end of the deformation assembly 40 is a second distance when the deformation assembly 40 is in the second state, and the second distance is greater than the first distance. Through such a setting, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the deformation assembly 40 is equivalent to being shortened, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 are close to each other, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 is reduced, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the deformation assembly 40 is elongated, so that the deformation assembly 40 is equivalent to being reset, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 are away from each other, so that the thickness of the shell including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 returns to the initial thickness.
[0036] In addition, in some embodiments, the deformation assembly 40 comprises an elastic member; the elastic member is arranged between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12, a first end of the elastic member is arranged on an inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and / or a second end of the elastic member is arranged on an inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11. Through such an arrangement, in the process of deformation of the elastic member, the elastic member can apply a force to the first sub-housing 11 and / or the second sub-housing 12, so that the elastic member can make the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other, so that the thickness of the housing comprising the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 increases; in the process of recovery of the deformation of the elastic member, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move close to each other, so that the thickness of the housing comprising the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 recovers to the initial thickness. That is, by arranging the elastic member, the thickness change of the housing comprising the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be facilitated.
[0037] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the first end of the elastic member can be arranged on the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, that is, the second end of the elastic member is separated from the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11; only the second end of the elastic member can be arranged on the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11, that is, the first end of the elastic member is separated from the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12; or the first end of the elastic member can be arranged on the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end of the elastic member can be arranged on the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11.
[0038] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the elastic member can be one of a spring 41, an elastic block 42, and a spring piece 43. Through such an arrangement, the elastic member can be obtained more easily, and the cost of the elastic member is relatively low, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the electronic device.
[0039] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In the case that the elastic member is the spring 41 or the elastic block 42, the elastic member has the first end and the second end oppositely arranged along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the first end of the elastic member is connected to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end of the elastic member is connected to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11. Through such arrangement, in the process of deformation of the elastic member, the elastic member can apply force to the first sub-housing 11 and / or the second sub-housing 12, so that the elastic member can make the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other, so that the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 increases; in the process of recovery of the elastic member, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move close to each other, so that the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 returns to the initial thickness. That is, through the arrangement of the elastic member, the thickness change of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be facilitated.
[0040] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the elastic member is the spring 41, the spring 41 extends along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the first end of the spring 41 is connected to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end of the spring 41 is connected to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11.
[0041] Since the first end of the spring 41 is connected to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end of the spring 41 is connected to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11, when the electronic device is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can apply force to the spring 41, so that the spring 41 is compressed, thereby making the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move close to each other, so that the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 decreases; when the electronic device is in the folded state, the spring 41 stops being compressed, so that the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is the smallest; when the electronic device is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the spring 41 applies force to the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 by relying on its own elastic force, so that the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other, thereby making the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 increase; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is the largest. That is, through the arrangement of the spring 41, the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be facilitated to decrease when the electronic device is in the folded state, so that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is reduced, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the spring 41 can facilitate the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 to return to the original state by relying on its own elastic force.
[0042] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, the elastic member is the spring 41, the spring 41 extends along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the first end of the spring 41 is connected to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end of the spring 41 is connected to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the electronic device can further include a first fixing member 100 and a second fixing member 200; the first fixing member 100 is fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second fixing member 200 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11; the first fixing member 100 is provided with a first limiting groove 101, and the second fixing member 200 is provided with a second limiting groove 201; the first end of the spring 41 is embedded in the first limiting groove 101, and the second end of the spring 41 is embedded in the second limiting groove 201.
[0043] As the first end of the spring 41 is embedded in the first limiting groove 101, and the second end of the spring 41 is embedded in the second limiting groove 201, when the electronic device switches from the unfolded state to the folded state, or when the electronic device switches from the folded state to the unfolded state, the spring 41 will be elongated or shortened, and during the elongation or shortening of the spring 41, the first fixing member 100 and the second fixing member 200 can limit the spring 41, ensuring that the spring 41 stretches or contracts along the thickness direction of the electronic device, avoiding the problem that the spring 41 bends or deviates in position during the elongation or shortening of the spring 41, affecting the relative movement of the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12. That is, by providing the first fixing member 100 and the second fixing member 200, the stretching direction of the spring 41 during elongation or shortening can be effectively ensured, and the spring 41 can be prevented from bending.
[0044] It should be noted that the first fixing member 100 can be welded to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11, and the second fixing member 200 can also be welded to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12. Of course, the first fixing member 100 can also be fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 by a bolt, and the second fixing member 200 can also be fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 by a bolt. The specific way in which the first fixing member 100 is fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 and the specific way in which the second fixing member 200 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0045] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the first end of the spring 41 can be fixed to the first limiting groove 101, and the second end of the spring 41 can be fixed to the second limiting groove 201.
[0046] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the case where the elastic member is the elastic block 42, the elastic block 42 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the first end is in contact with the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end is in contact with the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11.
[0047] Since the first end of the elastic block 42 is in contact with the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the second end of the elastic block 42 is in contact with the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11, when the electronic device is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can apply force to the elastic block 42, so that the elastic block 42 is compressed, thereby causing the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 to approach each other, and the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is reduced. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the elastic block 42 stops being compressed, so that the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is minimized. When the electronic device is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the elastic block 42 applies force to the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 by relying on its own elastic force, so that the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other, thereby increasing the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is maximized. That is, by providing the elastic block 42, the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be reduced when the electronic device is in the folded state, so that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is reduced. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the elastic block 42 can rely on its own elastic force to reset the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12.
[0048] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The elastic block 42 is provided with a through hole 421 located between the first end and the second end. Through such a design, when the elastic block 42 is subjected to force, the elastic block 42 is prone to deformation at the position of the through hole 421, that is, the presence of the through hole 421 can facilitate the deformation of the elastic block 42.
[0049] It should be noted that the number of through holes 421 can be set according to actual needs, for example, the number of through holes 421 is 1, and for example, the number of through holes 421 is 2. The specific number of through holes 421 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0050] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in a case where the deformation assembly 40 is the elastic sheet 43, the elastic sheet 43 includes a first sub-sheet 431, a second sub-sheet 432, and a third sub-sheet 433 connected in sequence, the first sub-sheet 431 is in contact with the inner wall of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20; in a case where the electronic device is in the folded state, the contact area between the second sub-sheet 432 and the first sub-shell 111 is a first area, and the included angle between the third sub-sheet 433 and the second sub-sheet 432 is a first included angle; in a case where the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the contact area between the second sub-sheet 432 and the first sub-shell 111 is a second area, and the included angle between the third sub-sheet 433 and the second sub-sheet 432 is a second included angle, the first area is greater than the second area, and the first included angle is less than the second included angle.
[0051] Specifically, in a case where the electronic device is in the folded state, the second sub-sheet 432 and the first sub-sheet 431 are stacked and distributed, at least part of the second sub-sheet 432 is in contact with the inner wall of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20, the contact area is a first area, the third sub-sheet 433 is located between the second sub-sheet 432 and the first sub-sheet 431, the connection between the third sub-sheet 433 and the second sub-sheet 432 is close to the first sub-sheet 431, and the included angle between the third sub-sheet 433 and the second sub-sheet 432 is a first included angle; in a case where the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the connection between the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 is away from the first sub-sheet 431, the connection between the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 is in contact with the inner wall of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20, the contact area between the second sub-sheet 432 and the first sub-shell 111 is a second area, one end of the third sub-sheet 433 is in abutment with the first sub-sheet 431, and the included angle between the third sub-sheet 433 and the second sub-sheet 432 is a second included angle.
[0052] Since the elastic sheet 43 comprises the first sub-sheet 431, the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 connected in sequence, the first sub-sheet 431 is in contact with the inner wall of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20. Therefore, when the electronic device is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 can apply force to the first sub-sheet 431 and the second sub-sheet 432, so that the first sub-sheet 431 and the second sub-sheet 432 are close to each other. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the first sub-sheet 431 and the second sub-sheet 432 are stacked and distributed, so that the third sub-sheet 433 is located between the first sub-sheet 431 and the second sub-sheet 432. At least part of the second sub-sheet 432 is in contact with the inner wall of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20, and the contact area is large, which is equivalent to the elastic sheet 43 being compressed under force. When the electronic device is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the elastic sheet 43 can make the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from each other by relying on the elastic force of the elastic sheet 43. At this time, the first sub-sheet 431 applies force to the second sub-shell 12, and the second sub-sheet 432 applies force to the first sub-shell 11, so that the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from each other. In the process that the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 move away from each other, the distance between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 increases, so that the included angle between the second sub-sheet 432 and the first sub-sheet 431 increases, and the connection between the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 moves away from the first sub-sheet 431, and the included angle between the third sub-sheet 433 and the second sub-sheet 432 increases. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the connection between the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 is in contact with the inner wall of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20, and one end of the third sub-sheet 433 is in abutment with the first sub-sheet 431, so that the distance between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 reaches the maximum. That is, by arranging the elastic sheet 43, the thickness of the shell comprising the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 can be reduced when the electronic device is in the folded state, so that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is reduced, and the thickness of the shell comprising the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 can be increased when the electronic device is in the unfolded state.
[0053] It should be noted that the first sub-sheet 431, the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 can be of an integral structure, and of course, the first sub-sheet 431, the second sub-sheet 432 and the third sub-sheet 433 can also be connected together by welding process. For this, the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitation.
[0054] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the deformation assembly 40 can include a driving member 44 and a moving member 45; the moving member 45 is fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the driving member 44 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11; the output end of the driving member 44 is connected with a driving structure 46, and the driving structure 46 is connected with the moving member 45; under the operation of the driving member 44, the driving member 44 drives the driving structure 46 to rotate, so as to drive the moving member 45 to move away from the driving member 44, so as to drive the first sub-housing 11 to move away from the second sub-housing 12, or drive the moving member 45 to move close to the driving member 44, so as to drive the first sub-housing 11 to move close to the second sub-housing 12.
[0055] Since the moving member 45 is fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the driving member 44 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11; the output end of the driving member 44 is connected with the driving structure 46, and the driving structure 46 is connected with the moving member 45, therefore, once the driving member 44 operates, the driving member 44 can drive the driving structure 46 to rotate, so that the driving structure 46 can drive the moving member 45 to move away from the driving member 44. Specifically, when the electronic device is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the driving member 44 can drive the driving structure 46 to rotate in the first rotation direction, so that the driving structure 46 can drive the moving member 45 to move away from the driving member 44, so as to drive the first sub-housing 11 to move away from the second sub-housing 12; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is the largest, and the driving member 44 will stop operating, so that the moving member 45 stops moving; when the electronic device is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the driving member 44 can drive the driving structure 46 to rotate in the second rotation direction, so that the driving structure 46 can drive the moving member 45 to move close to the driving member 44, so as to drive the first sub-housing 11 to move close to the second sub-housing 12; when the electronic device is in the folded state, the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 is the smallest, and the driving member 44 will stop operating, so that the moving member 45 stops moving. That is, by arranging the driving member 44 and the moving member 45, the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be reduced when the electronic device is in the folded state, so that the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state is reduced, and the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be reset when the electronic device is in the unfolded state.
[0056] It should be noted that the driving member 44 can be a motor, including but not limited to a stepper motor, a servo motor, etc. The first rotation direction is opposite to the second rotation direction.
[0057] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the deformation assembly 40 can include a driving member 44 and a moving member 45; the moving member 45 is fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-housing 11 facing the second sub-housing 12, and the driving member 44 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-housing 12 facing the first sub-housing 11; the output end of the driving member 44 is connected with a driving structure 46, and the driving structure 46 is connected with the moving member 45; under the operation of the driving member 44, the driving member 44 drives the driving structure 46 to rotate, so as to drive the moving member 45 to move away from the driving member 44, so as to drive the first sub-housing 11 to move away from the second sub-housing 12, or drive the moving member 45 to move close to the driving member 44, so as to drive the first sub-housing 11 to move close to the second sub-housing 12. Figure 10As shown, the outer wall of the driving structure 46 is provided with a first thread 461, and the outer wall of the moving member 45 is provided with a second thread 451, and the first thread 461 cooperates with the second thread 451. Through such an arrangement, when the driving structure 46 rotates in a first rotation direction, the first thread 461 and the second thread 451 can make the driving structure 46 move relative to the moving member 45, so as to be equivalent to the moving member 45 moving relative to the driving structure 46, so that the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other or move close to each other. That is, by arranging the first thread 461 and the second thread 451, the moving member 45 can be conveniently moved by the driving member 44.
[0058] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the driving structure 46 can be cylindrical.
[0059] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the driving structure 46 can also be provided with a threaded hole, and the outer wall of the moving member 45 is provided with a second thread 451, the moving member 45 passes through the threaded hole on the driving structure 46, so that the second thread 451 cooperates with the thread in the threaded hole, and when the driving structure 46 rotates, the driving structure 46 can move relative to the moving member 45, so as to be equivalent to the moving member 45 moving relative to the driving structure 46, so that the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other or move close to each other.
[0060] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the deformation assembly 40 includes an inflatable member 47 and a gas pump 48; the inflatable member 47 and the gas pump 48 are located between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12, and the inflatable member 47 is connected with the gas pump 48; in the case that the electronic device is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the gas pump 48 inflates the inflatable member 47 to make the inflatable member 47 expand, so that the inflatable member 47 abuts against the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12, and the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move away from each other; in the case that the electronic device is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the gas pump 48 stops inflating the inflatable member 47, so that the inflatable member 47 shrinks, and the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 move close to each other.
[0061] Since the inflatable component 47 and the air pump 48 are both located between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, and the inflatable component 47 is connected to the air pump 48, once the air pump 48 is running, the air pump 48 can inflate the inflatable component 47, causing the inflatable component 47 to expand. Thus, the inflatable component 47 can exert force on the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, causing the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 to move away from each other. Once the air pump 48 rotates in the opposite direction, the air pump 48 can extract the gas from the inflatable component 47, causing the inflatable component 47 to contract, and the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 will move closer to each other. Specifically, when the electronic device switches from a folded state to an unfolded state, the air pump 48 inflates the inflatable component 47, causing it to expand. This allows the inflatable component 47 to exert force on the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, causing them to move away from each other. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the distance between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 is at its maximum, and the air pump 48 maintains this state to ensure that the inflatable component 47 remains in its current state. When the electronic device switches from an unfolded state to a folded state, the air pump 48 extracts the gas from the inflatable component, causing the inflatable component 47 to contract. This causes the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 to move closer to each other. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the distance between the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12 is at its minimum. By providing an inflatable component 47 and an air pump 48, the thickness of the electronic device's casing, including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, can be reduced when the electronic device is in a folded state, thus reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state. It also facilitates the increase of the thickness of the electronic device's casing, including the first sub-shell 11 and the second sub-shell 12, when the electronic device is in an unfolded state.
[0062] It should be noted that the electronic device includes a controller. The controller is located in one of the first housing 10, the second housing 20, and the third housing 30. The controller is electrically connected to the air pump 48, thus enabling the controller to control the air pump 48. Additionally, the electronic device includes a sensor, which is electrically connected to the controller. The sensor detects the state of the electronic device and sends the detection result to the controller, which then performs corresponding control on the air pump 48.
[0063] In addition, in this embodiment, the inflatable component 47 can be formed of rubber. The inflatable component 47 can contact the inner wall of the first sub-shell 11, and the air pump 48 can be fixed to the inner wall of the first sub-shell 11. Of course, the inflatable component 47 can also contact the inner wall of the second sub-shell 12, and the air pump 48 can be fixed to the inner wall of the second sub-shell 12. This embodiment does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0065] By such arrangement, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first side plate 112 abuts against the second bottom plate 121, and the second side plate 113 abuts against the second bottom plate 121, which is equivalent to that the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 limit the first sub-housing 11, so that after the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 are close to each other to the limit position, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 no longer approach each other, so that the thickness of the housing comprising the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 reaches the minimum and no longer continues to decrease; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first limiting piece 114 abuts against the second limiting piece, and the third limiting piece 115 abuts against the fourth limiting piece 125, so that the first limiting piece 114, the second limiting piece, the third limiting piece 115 and the fourth limiting piece 125 can limit the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12, so that when the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 reaches the maximum, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 no longer move away from each other, so that the thickness of the housing comprising the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can change within a set range.
[0066] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the third side plate 122 can also abut against the first bottom plate 111, and the fourth side plate 123 can also abut against the first bottom plate 111, that is, the first side plate 112, the second side plate 113, the third side plate 122, and the fourth side plate 123 are at the same height, which can further limit the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12.

For this, the embodiment of the present application does not limit here.
[0068] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the first sub-housing 11 includes a first bottom plate 111, a first side plate 112, and a second side plate 113, and the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first bottom plate 111; the second sub-housing 12 includes a second bottom plate 121, a third side plate 122, and a fourth side plate 123, and the third side plate 122 and the fourth side plate 123 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the second bottom plate 121, the interval between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 is greater than the interval between the third side plate 112 and the fourth side plate 123; the first side plate 112 is located on the side of the third side plate 122 away from the fourth side plate 123, and the second side plate 113 is located on the side of the fourth side plate 123 away from the third side plate 122, the side of the first side plate 112 away from the first bottom plate 111 is provided with a first boss 116 facing the third side plate 122, one end of the third side plate 122 away from the second bottom plate 121 is provided with a first clamping groove 126 with a notch facing the first side plate 111, the side of the second side plate 113 away from the first bottom plate 111 is provided with a second boss 117 facing the fourth side plate 123, and one end of the fourth side plate 123 away from the second bottom plate 121 is provided with a second clamping groove 127 with a notch facing the fourth side plate 123; in the case that the electronic device is in the folded state, the first side plate 112 abuts against the second bottom plate 121, and the second side plate 113 abuts against the second bottom plate 121; in the case that the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first boss 116 is embedded in the first clamping groove 126, and the second boss 117 is embedded in the second clamping groove 127.
[0069] By setting in this way, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first side plate 112 abuts against the second bottom plate 121 and the second side plate 113 abuts against the second bottom plate 121, which is equivalent to the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 limiting the first sub-housing 11, so that after the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 are close to each other to the limit position, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 are no longer close to each other, so that the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 reaches the minimum and no longer continues to decrease; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the first boss 116 is embedded in the first clamping groove 126, and the second boss 117 is embedded in the second clamping groove 127, so that the first boss 116, the second boss 117, the first clamping groove 126 and the second clamping groove 127 can limit the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12, so that when the distance between the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 reaches the maximum, the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 are no longer away from each other, so that the thickness of the housing including the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12 can be changed within a set range.
[0070] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the third side plate 122 can also abut against the first bottom plate 111, and the fourth side plate 123 can also abut against the first bottom plate 111, that is, the first side plate 112, the second side plate 113, the third side plate 122 and the fourth side plate 123 are equal in height, which can further limit the first sub-housing 11 and the second sub-housing 12.
