Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure depending on the specific circumstances. When a specific device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, there may or may not be an intervening device between the specific device and the first or second device.

[0042] All terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in, for example, common dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or highly formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such herein.

[0043] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0044] In order to enable the display end to be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of multi-angle and multi-directional use, while reducing the cost increase and equipment stability problems caused by multiple connection mechanisms.

[0045] The present disclosure provides a connection mechanism, see Figure 1As shown, the connecting mechanism may include: a first body 10, a second body 20 and a connecting assembly 30.

[0046] The connecting assembly 30 can connect the first body 10 and the second body 20 to enable the first body 10 to perform a first type of movement and a second type of movement relative to the second body 20;

[0047] Wherein, when the first body 10 performs the first type of movement relative to the second body 20, the structural form of the connecting assembly 30 remains unchanged;

[0048] When the first body 10 performs the second type of movement relative to the second body 20 , the connecting assembly 30 has a different structural form.

[0049] It is understood that the connection assembly 30 is disposed between the first body 10 and the second body 20. The first body 10 can be used to connect to the display end of the electronic device, and the second body 20 can be used to connect to the support end of the electronic device. The connection method can be bolt connection, clamping connection, or magnetic connection.

[0050] The connecting assembly 30 is used to support the first body 10 to perform a first type of movement and a second type of movement relative to the second body 20;

[0051] In the case of the first type of movement, the connecting component 30 maintains its structural shape unchanged. The first type of movement can be horizontal rotation, for example, the first body 10 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise relative to the second body 20, thereby rotating the display end 0-360 degrees relative to the support end. In this case, the shape and relative position of the connecting component 30 remain unchanged.

[0052] In the case of the second type of movement, the connection assembly 30 can change the shape of the structure to adapt to the needs of the movement. The second type of movement can be tilting,

[0053] For example, the first body 10 is tilted relative to the second body 20. At this time, one side of the first body 10 is close to the second body 20, and the other side of the first body 10 is away from the second body 20, so that the display end is tilted relative to the support end, thereby facing different directions.

[0054] Through the connection mechanism, users can easily adjust the angle and direction of the display end according to personal preferences and usage scenarios, thereby obtaining a better user experience without having to adjust multiple connection mechanisms multiple times. In addition, the connection component 30 is integrated with multiple connection points, which disperse the load borne by a single connection point through multiple connection points, reducing the risk of single point failure. When the first body 10 is tilted relative to the second body 20, multiple connection points share the stress, making the entire connection mechanism more firm and stable. Multi-point connection can also better balance the center of gravity of the display end, and maintain the overall stability of the electronic device even when it is tilted significantly. A single connection point is prone to shaking or loosening when subjected to a large external force, while multiple connection points can restrain each other, reducing the shaking phenomenon caused by single-point loosening.

[0055] Therefore, the design of multiple connection points not only improves the stability of electronic devices during adjustment or use, reducing shaking and instability, but also simplifies the user's adjustment process and reduces production and assembly costs. In practical applications, this can significantly improve the user experience, especially in situations where frequent display angle adjustments are required.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the connecting assembly 30 includes a first assembly 31 and a second assembly 32. The first assembly 31 can perform a third type of movement relative to the first body 10, and the second assembly 32 can perform a fourth type of movement relative to the first assembly 31.

[0057] When the first body 10 performs the first type of movement, the relative position between the first component 31 and the first body 10 remains unchanged, and the second component 32 performs the fifth type of movement relative to the second body 20;

[0058] When the first body 10 performs the second type of movement, the first component 31 performs the third type of movement relative to the first body 10, the second component 32 performs the fourth type of movement relative to the first component 31, and the second component 32 performs the fifth type of movement relative to the second body 20. The third type of movement, the fourth type of movement and the fifth type of movement are all different.

[0059] It can be understood that in order to achieve flexible adjustment of the first body 10 relative to the second body 20, the connecting component 30 includes a first component 31 and a second component 32, and the first component 31 and the second component 32 have different motion states;

[0060] When the first body 10 performs the first type of movement relative to the second body 20:

[0061] The structural form of the connecting component 30 remains unchanged, and the relative position between the first component 31 and the first body 10 remains unchanged, that is, the first component 31 and the first body 10 perform the first type of movement together as a whole;

[0062] The second component 32 performs a fifth type of motion relative to the second body 20 . The fifth type of motion may be a horizontal rotational motion of the second component 32 relative to the second body 20 .

[0063] For example, the first type of movement can be horizontal rotational movement. When the first body 10 needs to rotate horizontally by a certain angle relative to the second body 20, the first component 31 is relatively fixed to the first body 10, and the first component 31 is relatively fixed to the second component 32, and only the second component 32 is used for horizontal rotation relative to the second body 20.

[0064] When the first body 10 performs the second type of movement relative to the second body 20:

[0065] The structural form of the connecting component 30 will change, and the first component 31 will perform a third type of movement relative to the first body 10. The third type of movement can be the first component 31 extending and compressing relative to the first body 10.

[0066] The second component 32 performs a fourth type of motion relative to the first component 31 , and the fourth type of motion may be a rotation of the first component 31 relative to the second component 32 ;

[0067] The second component 32 performs a fifth type of motion relative to the second body 20 . The fifth type of motion may be a horizontal rotation of the second component 32 relative to the second body 20 .

[0068] For example, the second type of motion may be a tilting motion. When the first body 10 is tilted at a certain angle relative to the second body 20, a portion of the first component 31 may be extended to move away from the second body 20, and another portion may be compressed to move closer to the second body 20.

[0069] The second component 32 can follow the expansion and compression movements of the first component 31 while rotating relative to the first component 31 .

[0070] As the first component 31 expands or contracts, the second component 32 rotates horizontally on the second body 20 to adapt to the change in the tilt angle of the first body 10.

[0071] For example, in actual use, if the user wants to tilt the display end relative to the support end at a certain angle, a portion of the first component 31 will begin to expand while another portion will begin to compress, simultaneously driving the second component 32 to rotate. Furthermore, the second component 32 will rotate horizontally relative to the second body 20 to ensure a stable tilt of the display.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first component 31 has a first connecting member 311, and the second component 32 has a second connecting member 321. The first connecting member 311 is rotatably connected to the first body 10, and the second connecting member 321 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 311 and the second body 20 respectively.

[0073] When the first body 10 performs the first type of movement, the first connecting member 311 and the first body 10 maintain a constant relative position, and the second connecting member 321 and the second body 20 rotate relative to each other.

[0074] When the first body 10 performs the second type of motion, the first connecting member 311 rotates relative to the first body 10 , and the second connecting member 321 rotates relative to the second body 20 .

[0075] It can be understood that the connection assembly 30 includes a first assembly 31 and a second assembly 32 , the first assembly 31 includes at least one first connection member 311 , and the second assembly 32 includes at least one second connection member 321 ;

[0076] The first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 321 may both be connecting rods or connecting arms with a certain length;

[0077] One end of the first connecting member 311 is rotatably connected to the first body 10, and the other end extends toward the second body 20.

[0078] One end of the second connecting member 321 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting member 311 , and the other end is rotatably connected to the second body 20 ;

[0079] Among them, the rotational connection method between the first connecting member 311 and the first body 10 can be a hinge, so that the other end of the first connecting member 311 rotates around the hinge point; the rotational connection method between the second connecting member 321 and the second body 20 can be a rotational connection, and the rotation axis is perpendicular to the second body 20, so that during the first type of movement, the second connecting member 321 can rotate 0-360° relative to the second body 20.

[0080] For example, the first body 10 can be connected to the display end of the electronic device, and the second body 20 can be connected to the support end of the electronic device;

[0081] In the case where the first body 10 performs the first type of motion relative to the second body 20, the first type of motion may be a horizontal rotation;

[0082] The user can rotate the display end horizontally. The first connecting member 311 and the display end rotate as a whole. The second connecting member 321 rotates relative to the second body 20 to accommodate the horizontal rotation of the first connecting member 311 and the display end.

[0083] When the first body 10 performs the second type of movement relative to the second body 20, the second type of movement can be tilting; the user can adjust the display end to tilt to a certain angle relative to the support end, with one side of the first body 10 close to the second body 20 and the other side of the first body 10 opposite to the second body 20 away from the second body 20; at this time, the first connecting member 311 rotates relative to the display end, and the second connecting member 321 rotates relative to the second body 20 to adapt to the tilt change of the display end relative to the support end.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first component 31 has three first connecting members 311, and the second component 32 has three second connecting members 321. Each first connecting member 311 has a first end 50 and a second end 60, and the first end 50 is rotatably connected to the first body 10; each second connecting member 321 has a third end 70 and a fourth end 80, and the third end 70 is rotatably connected to the second end 60, and the fourth end 80 is rotatably connected to the second body 20.

[0085] The connecting assembly 30 further includes: a damping member 40, which is disposed between the fourth end 80 and the second body 20, and / or between two adjacent fourth ends 80, to provide a damping force for the connecting assembly 30 when the first body 10 performs the first type of movement or the second type of movement.

[0086] It can be understood that the first end 50 is rotatably connected to the first body 10; the third end 70 is rotatably connected to the second end 60. In one embodiment, the first end 50, the second end 60 of the first connecting member 311, and the third end 70 of the second connecting member 321 are all provided with mounting holes. The first end 50 can be connected to the peripheral side of the first body 10, and the second end 60 and the third end 70 can be stacked and arranged. Bolts are respectively passed through the mounting holes to achieve the rotational connection between the first end 50 and the first body 10, and the rotational connection between the second end 60 and the third end 70.

[0087] The fourth end 80 is rotatably connected to the second body 20 so that the fourth end 80 can rotate horizontally relative to the second body 20. A rotation axis can be vertically arranged on the side of the second body 20 facing the first body 10, and the fourth end 80 is sleeved on the outside of the rotation axis and loosely matched with it to achieve the rotation connection between the fourth end 80 and the second body 20.

[0088] Mounting holes may also be provided on both the fourth end 80 and the second body 20 so that the fourth end 80 is stacked on the second body 20 and bolts are passed through the two mounting holes at the same time to achieve a rotational connection between the fourth end 80 and the second body 20 .

[0089] The damping element 40 is a friction damping element 40 , which can generate friction between contact surfaces by contacting and sliding with other objects, thereby providing a relatively stable damping force.

[0090] In which, the damping member 40 can be arranged between the fourth end 80 and the second body 20, and the damping member 40 is in frictional contact with the fourth end 80 and the second body 20 respectively, thereby providing a damping force for the connecting assembly 30. In this case, the damping member 40 can be a cylindrical structure, which is sleeved on the second body 20, or sleeved on the rotating shaft of the second body 20. The inner side wall of the damping member 40 is in frictional contact with the second body 20, and the fourth end 80 is sleeved on the outside of the damping member 40 so that the outer side wall of the damping member 40 is in frictional contact with the fourth end 80.

[0091] The damping member 40 can also be arranged between two adjacent fourth ends 80. In this case, the damping member 40 can be a friction plate 42. The two adjacent fourth ends 80 are stacked, and the friction plate 42 is arranged between the two adjacent fourth ends 80. The two sides of the friction plate 42 are in friction contact with the end faces of the two fourth ends 80 respectively, so that when the two fourth ends 80 rotate relative to each other, friction force is generated, thereby providing damping force.

[0092] The damping member 40 may also be disposed between the fourth end 80 and the second body 20 and between two adjacent fourth ends 80. The damping member 40 disposed between the fourth end 80 and the second body 20 is a cylindrical structure, and the damping member 40 disposed between two adjacent fourth ends 80 is a friction plate 42. The arrangement is the same as described above and will not be repeated herein.

[0093] By setting the damping member 40 as described above, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can remain stable without shaking when they undergo relative movement, and can maintain relative stability after moving to the target position. After the first body 10 is connected to the display end, the display end can be hovered at any angle.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the first body 10 performs the second type of movement, the second end 60 of the first connecting member 311 and the third end 70 of the second connecting member 321 rotate relative to each other, so that the first connecting member 311 rotates relative to the first body 10 while the second connecting member 321 rotates relative to the second body 20.

[0095] It is understood that when the first body 10 performs the second type of movement, the first body 10 is subjected to an external force, which may be a thrust or a pressure, so that the first body 10 can be tilted relative to the second body 20, so that one side of the first body 10 is close to the second body 20, and the other side of the first body 10 is away from the second body 20;

[0096] In the above process, the connected first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 321 will be linked. Since the second end 60 of the first connecting member 311 and the third end 70 of the second connecting member 321 are rotatably connected, when the first connecting member 311 rotates relative to the second connecting member 321, the external force is transmitted to the fourth end 80 of the second connecting member 321, so that the fourth end 80 of the second connecting member 321 rotates relative to the second body 20 to adapt to the first body 10 to perform the second type of movement.

[0097] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the second body 20 has a first rotating column 21. The first rotating column 21 is provided on the side of the second body 20 facing the first body 10.

[0098] The fourth end 80 is formed with a rotating ring, which is rotatably mounted on the first rotating post 21 , so that the first body 10 can perform a first type of motion relative to the second body 20 .

[0099] As will be appreciated, the first rotating column 21 can be an elongated cylindrical structure, vertically disposed on the second body 20 and extending toward the first body 10. The first rotating column 21 and the second body 20 can be fixedly mounted, for example, by welding or integrally molding. Alternatively, the first rotating column 21 can be detachably connected to the second body 20 using bolts or other fasteners, or by being plugged into the second body 20.

[0100] The fourth end 80 of the second connecting member 321 may form a rotating ring, which can be sleeved onto the first rotating post 21 with the inner sidewall of the rotating ring loosely fitting with the outer sidewall of the first rotating post 21, so that the fourth end 80 can rotate relative to the first rotating post 21.

[0101] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the damping member 40 includes an adjusting nut 41 and a friction plate 42. The adjusting nut 41 has an internal thread, and the first rotating column 21 has an external thread that matches the internal thread of the adjusting nut 41. The friction plate 42 is arranged between the adjusting nut 41 and the rotating ring. The adjusting nut 41 can tighten or loosen the friction plate 42 to adjust the damping force of the connecting assembly 30 through the adjusting nut 41.

[0102] It is understood that an external thread can be provided at the end of the first rotating column 21 away from the second body 20 for mating with the internal thread of the adjusting nut 41. Multiple rotating rings can be sleeved on the outside of the first rotating column 21 and arranged in a stacked manner. A friction plate 42 can be provided between the adjusting nut 41 and the rotating ring, or between adjacent rotating rings, so that the end surfaces of the friction plate 42 respectively contact the adjusting nut 41 and the rotating ring, or the two sides of the friction plate 42 can also respectively contact adjacent rotating rings. By turning the adjusting nut 41, the extrusion force applied to the friction plate 42 and the rotating ring is adjusted, wherein a greater extrusion force results in a greater friction force, and thus a greater damping force generated by the connecting assembly 30. The adjusting nut 41 can be turned according to usage requirements so that the damping force provided by the connecting assembly 30 can maintain relative stability between the first body 10 and the second body 20, preventing shaking during use.

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 As shown, the second body 20 has a rotation hole 22, and the fourth end 80 is sequentially formed with a rotation table 3211 having a rotation groove 3212 and a second rotation column 3213 in the direction close to the second body 20; the second rotation column 3213 of any second connecting member 321 can be inserted into the rotation groove 3212 of the adjacent second connecting member 321 or the rotation hole 22 of the second body 20, so that the first body 10 can perform the first type of movement relative to the second body 20.

[0104] It can be understood that the rotating hole 22 is opened on the end surface of the second body 20 facing the first body 10, the inner contour of the rotating hole 22 is adapted to the outer contour of the second rotating column 3213, and the second connecting member 321 is rotatably connected to the second body 20 through the fourth end 80.

[0105] The fourth end 80 is formed with a rotating table 3211 and a second rotating column 3213. A rotating groove 3212 can be provided on the side of the rotating table 3211 facing away from the second body 20. The rotating groove 3212 can be a circular groove structure with a certain depth. A second rotating column 3213 can be provided on the side of the rotating table 3211 facing the second body 20. The second rotating column 3213 can be a cylinder and extend toward the direction of the second body 20.

[0106] When the second connecting member 321 is assembled with the second body 20, the second connecting member 321 can utilize the second rotating column 3213 formed at the fourth end 80 to be inserted into the rotating hole 22 opened on the second body 20, and the rotating hole 22 can be coaxially arranged with the second rotating column 3213 so that the first body 10 can perform a first type of movement relative to the second body 20, and the first type of movement can be a horizontal rotation.

[0107] When two adjacent second connecting members 321 are assembled, the rotating tables 3211 formed by the fourth ends 80 of the two second connecting members 321 are stacked, and the second rotating column 3213 at the lower end of the rotating table 3211 of one of the second connecting members 321 is inserted into the rotating groove 3212 of the rotating table 3211 of the other second connecting member 321, wherein the second rotating column 3213 and the rotating groove 3212 are coaxially arranged so that the first body 10 performs a first type of movement relative to the second body 20, and the first type of movement can be horizontal rotation.

[0108] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 As shown, the first body 10 has three connecting ends 11, and the connecting ends 11 are arranged on the side of the first body 10 facing the second body 20;

[0109] Each connecting end 11 is rotatably connected to a first end 50 of a first connecting member 311;

[0110] The first end 50 is rotatably connected to the connecting end 11 at a side of the connecting end 11 close to the center of the first body 10; or, the first end 50 is rotatably connected to the connecting end 11 at a side of the connecting end 11 away from the center of the first body 10, so that the first body 10 can perform a second type of movement relative to the second body 20.

[0111] It can be understood that the three connecting ends 11 are circumferentially equidistantly arranged on the first body 10 and extend toward the second body 20 . The connecting ends 11 are used to rotatably connect the first end 50 of the first connecting member 311 to the first body 10 .

[0112] The rotational connection method can be to provide mounting holes at both the connecting end 11 and the first end 50 of the first connecting member 311, with the two mounting holes being coaxially arranged and bolts being passed through the two mounting holes to achieve the rotational connection between the first end 50 and the connecting end 11.

[0113] Alternatively, a mounting hole may be provided at either the connecting end 11 or the first end 50 of the first connecting member 311 , and a mounting column may be provided at the other, and the mounting column may be inserted into the mounting hole to achieve a rotational connection between the first end 50 and the connecting end 11 .

[0114] Among them, when the first connecting member 311 is assembled with the first body 10, the first end 50 of the first connecting member 311 can be set on the side of the connecting end 11 away from the center of the first body 10; the first end 50 of the first connecting member 311 can also be set on the side of the connecting end 11 close to the center of the first body 10, so that the overall outline of the first connecting member 311 after being connected to the first body 10 becomes smaller, which can save assembly space.

[0115] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an electronic device, including:

[0116] A support assembly, configured to abut against a bearing surface;

[0117] Display module;

[0118] The connecting mechanism includes a first body 10, a second body 20, and a connecting assembly 30;

[0119] The first body 10 is connected to the display module, the second body 20 is connected to the support assembly, and the connecting assembly 30 connects the first body 10 and the second body 20 to enable the first body 10 to perform a first type of movement and a second type of movement relative to the second body 20;

[0120] When the first body 10 performs a first type of movement relative to the second body 20, the structural form of the connecting component 30 remains unchanged; when the first body 10 performs a second type of movement relative to the second body 20, the connecting component 30 has a different structural form.

[0121] As can be understood, the support assembly is used to ensure that the electronic device can be placed firmly on a desktop or other supporting surface. It not only bears the weight of the device itself, but also provides sufficient stability when the user operates the device (such as adjusting the angle of the display) to prevent the device from tipping over.

[0122] The support assembly may include a base for direct contact with the bearing surface, and the base may be configured to be wide in area to provide good stability. It may also include support legs or brackets, which are parts extending upward from the base to support the main structure of the electronic device. They may be fixed or adjustable so that the user can adjust the height or tilt angle of the device as needed. There may also be multiple support legs to form a triangular or polygonal support structure to increase stability. The display module is the core display part of the electronic device and may be an LED screen, an LCD screen or other types of displays.

[0123] The first body 10 is connected to the display module, used to support and position the display module. When the user adjusts the angle or position of the display module, the first body 10 moves accordingly. The second body 20 is fixedly connected to the support assembly to provide overall stability of the connection mechanism.

[0124] For example, the electronic device is a portable display or an all-in-one device with a connecting mechanism; when the user needs to rotate the display and adjust the display from a horizontal screen state to a vertical screen state, it can be achieved through the first type of movement, and the structural form of the connecting component 30 remains unchanged.

[0125] When the user needs to tilt the display to a certain angle to accommodate writing or viewing needs, the first body 10 of the connecting mechanism will tilt relative to the second body 20, causing the connecting assembly 30 to change its structural form, thereby achieving tilting of the display.

[0126] The connection mechanism can make electronic devices suitable for a variety of usage scenarios and provide a better user experience.
