DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to a first aspect of the present application, a hinge assembly 1 is provided, which is suitable for a folding screen 3, the folding screen 3 comprising a first shell 31, a second shell 32 and an intermediate shell 33, the first shell 31 and the second shell 32 being respectively located on two sides of the intermediate shell 33, characterized in that it comprises: a hinge seat 10 connected with the intermediate shell 33; two rotating plates 20, the two rotating plates 20 being respectively rotationally connected with the hinge seat 10, one of the two rotating plates 20 being connected with the first shell 31 and the other being connected with the second shell 32, the rotating plate 20 having a folding state and an opening state arranged oppositely; wherein the two rotating plates 20 can rotate independently.

[0051] In the hinge assembly 1 of the embodiments of the present application, by the above technical solution, the two rotating plates 20 are arranged to rotate independently, and no synchronous gear is needed, so that the structure of the hinge assembly 1 is simpler, which can improve the service life of the hinge assembly 1 and also reduce the use cost of the hinge assembly 1.

[0052] Optionally, the hinge base 10 has a receiving groove 30, and the rotating plate 20 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 30. In this way, the rotating plate 20 can be protected from being damaged by mutual contact with other structures.

[0053] Optionally, one of the receiving groove 30 and the rotating plate 20 is further provided with a sliding protrusion 21, and the other of the receiving groove 30 and the rotating plate 20 is further provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove 11, and the sliding protrusion 21 is movably arranged in the arc-shaped sliding groove 11 to enable the rotating plate 20 to rotate relative to the hinge base 10. Through the above structure, the combination of the sliding protrusion 21 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 11 can effectively prevent the rotating plate 20 from being deviated or shaken when being stressed, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. The movement path of the sliding protrusion 21 in the arc-shaped sliding groove 11 is determined, so that the rotating plate 20 can be rotated according to a predetermined angle and range. Such accuracy is crucial for occasions where the rotating angle needs to be strictly controlled. At the same time, the combination of the sliding protrusion 21 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 11 can effectively reduce friction and wear during rotation, thereby prolonging the service life of the rotating plate 20 and the receiving groove 30.

[0054] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding protrusion 21 along the length direction of the hinge base 10 includes a circular arc shape. In this way, the circular arc-shaped sliding protrusion 21 can realize smoother rotation in the arc-shaped sliding groove 11. Since the contact surface of the circular arc shape can maintain continuous contact during rotation, the friction and resistance caused by shape mutation are reduced, thereby improving the fluency and efficiency of rotation. At the same time, the circular arc design helps to disperse the pressure and friction during rotation, reduces the direct contact area between the sliding protrusion 21 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 11, and further reduces wear. This helps to prolong the service life of the rotating plate 20 and the receiving groove 30, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0055] Optionally, the rotating plate 20 has a first surface 22, the hinge base 10 has a second surface 12, and the two rotating plates 20 are rotatable relative to the hinge base 10 between a folded position and an unfolded position, respectively, and when the two rotating plates 20 are in the folded position, the first surfaces 22 of the two rotating plates 20 are arranged in a spaced-apart manner, and the second surface 12 and the two first surfaces 22 enclose a containing space, and the containing space is used to contain the flexible panel 36 of the folding screen 3. In one case, the first surface 22 of one of the rotating plates 20 is higher than the third surface of the hinge base 10, and thus, the first surface 22 of the one of the rotating plates 20 has a first height difference with the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10. In another case, the first surface 22 of the other of the rotating plates 20 is higher than the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10, and thus, the first surface 22 of the other of the rotating plates 20 has a second height difference with the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10. In yet another case, the first surface 22 of the one of the rotating plates 20 and the first surface 22 of the other of the rotating plates 20 are both higher than the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10, and thus, the first surface 22 of the one of the rotating plates 20 has the first height difference with the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10, and the second surface 12 of the other of the rotating plates 20 has the second height difference with the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10. It should be noted that the first height difference and the second height difference can be the same or different.

[0056] Optionally, the first surface 22 of at least one of the rotating plates 20 is higher than the second surface 12 of the hinge base 10. In this way, when the one of the rotating plates 20 rotates around the other of the rotating plates 20, based on the presence of the height difference, an arc-shaped region can be formed between the two rotating plates 20, and there is enough space to contain the bent part of the flexible panel 36, so as to better protect the flexible panel 36.

[0057] Optionally, the first surface 22 of the one of the rotating plates 20 and the first surface 22 of the other of the rotating plates 20 are the same height. In this way, not only can the stability of the structure during operation be ensured, but also enough space can be maintained to contain the bent part of the flexible panel 36, so as to better protect the flexible panel 36.

[0058] According to a second aspect of the present application, a folding screen 3 is provided, which comprises the hinge assembly 1 described above.

[0059] Optionally, the folding screen 3 also includes: a first shell 31; a second shell 32; an intermediate shell 33, the first shell 31 and the second shell 32 are respectively located on both sides of the intermediate shell 33, and the hinge base 10 is connected to the intermediate shell 33; one of the rotating plates 20 is connected to the first shell 31, and the other rotating plate 20 is connected to the second shell 32. The first shell 31 and the second shell 32 are respectively located on both sides of the intermediate shell 33. This layout makes the overall structure more balanced and enhances the stability of the device. The presence of the intermediate shell 33 provides a solid support for the folding screen 3 device, helping to resist external pressure and impact. The connection design of the rotating plate 20 and the first shell 31 and the second shell 32 makes the folding screen 3 device more flexible when folding and unfolding. The connection between the hinge base 10 and the intermediate shell 33 further enhances the smoothness and reliability of folding and reduces friction and resistance during the folding process.

[0060] Optionally, a groove 34 is further provided on the first shell 31 and the second shell 32, and the groove 34 is used to connect with the rotating plate 20. In this way, the design of the groove 34 enables the rotating plate 20 to be more tightly connected to the first shell 31 and the second shell 32, reducing unnecessary gaps and looseness, thereby enhancing the compactness of the overall structure. The groove 34 provides a stable connection point for the rotating plate 20, ensuring that the rotating plate 20 can maintain a firm connection with the shell during folding and unfolding, avoiding failure or damage caused by unstable connection. The shape and size of the groove 34 are usually carefully designed to ensure that the rotation path of the rotating plate 20 therein is smooth and unobstructed. This helps to reduce friction and resistance during folding and unfolding, and improve the user's operating experience.

[0061] Optionally, the folding screen 3 further includes a support member 35, and both the first shell 31 and the second shell 32 are provided with a support member 35. The design of the support member 35 provides additional support for the folding screen 3, so that the first shell 31 and the second shell 32 can maintain a stable structure in both the folded and unfolded states. This helps to reduce deformation or damage caused by external forces. In the folding area of ​​the folding screen 3 device, the support member 35 can effectively prevent the screen from sagging due to prolonged folding. This extends the service life of the screen and maintains the flatness and visual effect of the screen.

[0062] Optionally, the foldable screen 3 also includes a flexible panel 36. The first surfaces 22 of the two rotating plates 20, the surface of the first housing 31, the surface of the second housing 32, and the surface of the support member 35 collectively form a support surface, on which the flexible panel 36 is disposed. This multi-component support surface provides all-around support for the flexible panel 36, enhancing the stability of the screen in both the folded and unfolded states. This design helps reduce screen dents, deformation, or damage caused by external forces, thereby extending the screen's service life.

[0063] Optionally, the folding screen 3 further comprises a fixing member 37, which is configured to be connected to the side of the intermediate housing 33 away from the hinge seat 10. In this way, the folding screen 3 can be connected to other components, thereby facilitating the use of the folding screen 3.

[0064] Optionally, the folding screen 3 further comprises a housing connecting member 38, which is arranged on the side of the first housing 31 and / or the second housing 32 away from the rotating plate 20. By connecting the housing connecting member 38 to other components, the opening or closing of the folding screen 3 can be controlled to meet the use requirements of the folding screen 3.

[0065] According to a third aspect of the present application, a center control screen module 4 is also provided, which comprises the folding screen 3 as described above.

[0066] Optionally, the center control screen module 4 further comprises a first sliding table assembly 40, which is connected to the folding screen 3 and configured to drive the folding screen 3 to move in a first direction so as to move out or retract from the center console. In this way, the folding screen 3 can be unfolded or folded to meet the use requirements of the user.

[0067] Optionally, the center console has an opening 57, and the first sliding table assembly 40 is configured to drive the folding screen 3 to move in the first direction so as to move out or retract from the opening 57. When the folding screen 3 is hidden inside the center console, it must be moved out or retracted through the opening 57, which can protect the folding screen 3 and prolong its service life.

[0068] Optionally, the first sliding table assembly 40 comprises a first base 41, a first sliding block 42 movably arranged on the first base 41, the folding screen 3 being connected to the first base 41 to move synchronously with the first sliding block 42, and a first driving member 43 drivingly connected to the first sliding block 42 to drive the first sliding block 42 to move in the first direction. In this way, the first driving member 43 is drivingly connected to the first sliding block 42, which can accurately control the movement of the first sliding block 42 in the first direction. This precise positioning capability ensures the stability and accuracy of the folding screen 3 during movement, avoiding screen distortion or damage due to movement errors.

[0069] Optionally, the first base 41 is further provided with a position switch 44, and the first slider 42 is provided with a stop block 45 corresponding to the position switch 44, the stop block 45 being capable of contacting the position switch 44 to limit the position of the first slider 42. The cooperation of the position switch 44 and the stop block 45 can accurately limit the position of the first slider 42. When the stop block 45 contacts the position switch 44, the first slider 42 will stop moving, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the first slider 42 at a specific position. The provision of the position switch 44 can prevent the first slider 42 from moving beyond the predetermined range during movement. This helps to avoid screen distortion, damage or equipment failure caused by overpositioning.

[0070] Optionally, the first base 41 is provided with two position switches 44, which are arranged in a spaced manner along the first direction, and the first slider 42 is located between the two position switches 44. The provision of the two position switches 44 forms a double limiting mechanism, which can more accurately control the position of the first slider 42. When the first slider 42 moves to a certain position, it will first contact one of the position switches 44, thereby limiting the range of its continued movement. When it is necessary to move to another position, it will contact the other position switch 44 to achieve accurate positioning.

[0071] Optionally, the two position switches 44 are arranged on the two sides of the first slider 42 along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The two position switches 44 are arranged on the two sides of the first slider 42 along the second direction (perpendicular to the first direction), which can more accurately control the position of the first slider 42 in the second direction.

[0072] When the first slider 42 moves in the second direction, it will first contact one of the position switches 44, one of the position switches 44 corresponding to the closed position of the folding screen 3, and the other position switch 44 corresponding to the open position of the folding screen 3, which can prevent the folding screen 3 from moving too far and reducing the accuracy of folding or unfolding of the folding screen 3, thereby limiting the range of movement of the folding screen 3. This design helps to ensure the accuracy and stability of the first slider 42 at a specific position.

[0073] Optionally, the central control screen module 4 further comprises a second sliding table assembly 50 movably arranged on the first sliding block 42, and the folding screen 3 is arranged on the second sliding table assembly 50, and the second sliding table assembly 50 is used to drive the folding screen 3 to fold or unfold. The second sliding table assembly 50 can drive the folding screen 3 to open or close, so that the user can easily unfold or fold the screen according to the needs. This design improves the operation flexibility and convenience of the folding screen 3 device, and improves the user experience. Since the second sliding table assembly 50 is movably arranged on the first sliding block 42, the folding screen 3 can not only move in the first direction (controlled by the first sliding block 42), but also move in the second direction (controlled by the second sliding table assembly 50). This multi-degree-of-freedom movement design makes the folding screen 3 device adapt to different use scenarios and needs, and improves the flexibility and expandability of the device.

[0074] Optionally, the second sliding table assembly 50 comprises a second sliding block 51 movably arranged on the first sliding block 42, and the fixing member 37 is connected with the second sliding block 51; a rotating member 52, one end of the rotating member 52 is rotatably connected with the shell connecting member 38, and the other end of the rotating member 52 is rotatably connected with the second sliding block 51, and the second sliding block 51 moves in the first direction to drive the rotating member 52 to rotate, and drive the folding screen 3 to open or close. The second sliding block 51 is movably arranged on the first sliding block 42, so that the folding screen 3 can not only move in the first direction, but also realize different angles of unfolding or folding through the rotation of the rotating member 52. This multi-degree-of-freedom movement design makes the folding screen 3 device adapt to different use scenarios and needs, and improves the flexibility and practicality of the device. During the unfolding or folding process of the folding screen 3, the fixing member 37 can ensure the stable and reliable connection between the second sliding block 51 and the rotating member 52, and prevent screen damage or device failure caused by shaking or misalignment.

[0075] Optionally, the first base 41 is provided with a first sliding groove 53, and the central control screen module 4 further comprises a first connecting rod 54, the first connecting rod 54 is rotatably arranged on the first sliding block 42, one end of the first connecting rod 54 is rotatably connected with the second sliding block 51, and the other end of the first connecting rod 54 is movably arranged in the first sliding groove 53, the first sliding block 42 moves to drive the first connecting rod 54 to rotate, and drive the second sliding block 51 to move reversely relative to the first sliding block 42, so as to open or close the folding screen 3. In this way, when the first sliding block 42 moves, it will drive the second sliding block 51 to move reversely relative to the first sliding block 42 through the rotation of the first connecting rod 54. This precise transmission control mechanism ensures the stability and reliability of the folding screen 3 during opening and closing, and reduces the risk of screen damage or device failure caused by improper operation or mechanical failure. Through the cooperation of the first connecting rod 54, the first sliding block 42, the second sliding block 51 and the first sliding groove 53, the structural strength of the entire central control screen module 4 is enhanced.

[0076] Optionally, the central control screen module 4 further comprises a box body 55 having a containing cavity 56 and an opening 57 communicating with the containing cavity 56, and a door body 58 arranged at the opening 57, and the folding screen 3 is arranged in the containing cavity 56. Such a design can effectively prevent impurities such as dust and dirt from entering the containing cavity 56, thereby protecting the folding screen 3 from pollution and damage. When the folding screen 3 is not in use, it can be safely stored in the box body 55, avoiding screen damage caused by accidental collision or scratching. The design of the box body 55 and the door body 58 also plays a certain buffering role, which can reduce the impact of external impact on the folding screen 3.

[0077] Optionally, the central control screen module 4 further comprises a second connecting rod 60, one end of the second connecting rod 60 being rotatably connected with the first base 41, the other end of the second connecting rod 60 being rotatably connected with the door body 58, the second connecting rod 60 being provided with a second sliding groove 61, and the second sliding block 51 being provided with a rotating part 62, the rotating part 62 being movable in the second sliding groove 61 to drive the opening or closing of the door body 58.

[0078] In the hinge assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the two rotating plates 20 are arranged to rotate independently by the above technical solution, and no synchronous gear is needed, so that the structure of the hinge assembly 1 is simpler, which can improve the service life of the hinge assembly 1 and reduce the use cost of the hinge assembly 1. The design of the second connecting rod 60 makes the opening and closing of the door body 58 can be realized by the movement of the second sliding block 51 and the sliding of the rotating part 62 in the second sliding groove 61, and such a transmission mode is accurate and stable, which reduces the risk of damage to the door body 58 or equipment failure caused by improper operation or mechanical failure.
