[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, a foldable display screen is shown, which includes a basic display module 1, which is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. Two additional display modules 2 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the basic display module 1. The additional display modules 2 are also in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and their width and height are equal to the width and height of the basic display module 1. The two additional display modules 2 are respectively located at both ends of the length direction of the basic display module 1, and each additional display module 2 is connected to the basic display module 1 through a rotating structure 3.

[0034] The rotating structure 3 includes a fixed seat 31, a rotating seat 32 and an elastic member 33. The fixed seat 31 and the rotating seat 32 are rotatably connected. The fixed seat 31 is set on the basic display module 1, and the rotating seat 32 is set on the corresponding additional display module 2. The elastic member 33 connects the fixed seat 31 and the rotating seat 32. The elastic member 33 is suitable for providing elastic force to bring the basic display module 1 and the corresponding additional display module 2 closer to each other. Specifically, the elastic member 33 is a spring.

[0035] Each additional display module 2 has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the additional display module 2 is in the unfolded state, the additional display module 2 and the basic display module 1 are located in the same plane to facilitate large-screen display. When the additional display module 2 is in the folded state, the plane where the additional display module 2 is located intersects with the plane where the basic display module 1 is located to save space and facilitate transportation.

[0036] In the above-mentioned configuration, the elastic force provided by the elastic member 33 can bring the basic display module 1 and the additional display module 2 closer to each other, that is, when the additional display module 2 is in a folded state, the elastic member 33 can provide an elastic force to keep the additional display module 2 in the folded state, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidental unfolding of the additional display module 2 after folding. In addition, the force provided by the elastic member 33 to bring the basic display module 1 and the additional display module 2 closer to each other also makes it easier to fold them.

[0037] In this embodiment, a first rotation hole is formed on the fixed seat 31, and a second rotation hole is formed on the rotating seat 32. The first rotation hole and the second rotation hole are coaxially arranged, and a rotating shaft 34 is arranged in the first rotation hole and the second rotation hole. In this way, a rotatable connection between the fixed seat 31 and the rotating seat 32 can be achieved. In other embodiments, the rotation between the two can also be achieved by existing technical means such as hinges, which will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 32 includes an intersecting first rotating arm 321 and a second rotating arm 322, the first rotating arm 321 is fixedly connected to the corresponding additional display module 2, and the second rotating arm 322 is vertically arranged on the corresponding additional display module 2. When the corresponding additional display module 2 is in a folded state, the second rotating arm 322 is suitable for abutting against the basic display module 1. The first rotating arm 321 and the corresponding second rotating arm 322 are arranged vertically. In this way, when the second rotating arm 322 rotates to abut against the basic display module 1 during the folding process of the additional display module 2, the additional display module 2 is in a folded state. In this process, the second rotating arm 322 plays a role in limiting the position of the additional display module 2.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 In this embodiment, a buffer structure is further provided between each additional display module 2 and the basic display module 1. By providing the buffer structure, the additional display module 2 can be folded and unfolded more smoothly, and the impact force between the additional display module 2 and the basic display module 1 is reduced, that is, the additional display module 2 and the basic display module 1 are protected.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the buffer structure includes an articulated seat 41 and a buffer rod 42. The first end of the buffer rod 42 is articulated with the articulated seat 41. The articulated seat 41 is disposed on the basic display module 1. The second end of the buffer rod 42 is articulated with the corresponding second rotating arm 322. During the folding process of the additional display module 2, when the second rotating arm 322 rotates to abut against the basic display module 1, an angle is formed between the buffer rod 42 and the second rotating arm 322 to clamp the additional display module 2, thereby further preventing the additional display module 2 from being accidentally unfolded.

[0041] In this embodiment, a hollow is provided on the second rotating arm 322, and when the additional display module 2 is in the folded state, the fixing seat 31 is suitable for being accommodated in the hollow. By such a setting, the structure can be made more concise.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, a locking structure 5 is also provided between each additional display module 2 and the basic display module 1. When the additional display module 2 is in the unfolded state, the locking structure 5 is used to prevent the relative movement between the basic display module 1 and the corresponding additional display module 2. That is, by providing the locking structure 5, the position of the additional display module 2 can be locked when it is unfolded, thereby ensuring the normal use of the foldable display screen of the utility model. Specifically, the locking structure 5 includes a locking plate 51 and a vertical plate 52 erected on the locking plate 51. The locking plate 51 is rotatably connected to the basic display module 1 with damping. When the additional display module 2 is in the unfolded state, the locking plate 51 can be rotated to partially cover the basic display module 1 and the corresponding additional display module 2. The vertical plate 52 can facilitate manual operation, and the locking plate 51 spans the basic display module 1 and the corresponding additional display module 2, so that the additional display module 2 can be kept in the unfolded state.

Figure 6 As shown), four additional display modules 2 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the basic display module 1. The additional display module 2 is also in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and its length, width and height are equal to those of the basic display module 1. The four additional display modules 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction and the two ends of the width direction of the basic display module 1, and each additional display module 2 is connected to the basic display module 1 through a rotating structure 3.

[0045] The rotating structure 3 includes a fixed seat 31, a rotating seat 32 and an elastic member 33. The fixed seat 31 and the rotating seat 32 are rotatably connected. The rotating seat 32 is set on the basic display module 1, and the fixed seat 31 is set on the corresponding additional display module 2. The elastic member 33 connects the fixed seat 31 and the rotating seat 32. The elastic member 33 is suitable for providing elastic force to bring the basic display module 1 and the corresponding additional display module 2 closer to each other. Specifically, the elastic member 33 is a spring.

[0046] Similarly, in the above-mentioned configuration, the elastic force provided by the elastic member 33 can bring the basic display module 1 and the additional display module 2 closer to each other, that is, when the additional display module 2 is in a folded state, the elastic member 33 can provide an elastic force to keep the additional display module 2 in the folded state, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidental unfolding of the additional display module 2 after folding. In addition, the force provided by the elastic member 33 to bring the basic display module 1 and the additional display module 2 closer to each other also makes it easier to fold them.
