[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0027] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the foldable e-book reader includes two symmetrically arranged reader housings 1. One side of the reader housing 1 is the inner side 101 of the reader, and the other side is the outer side 102 of the reader. The two reader housings 1 are movably connected by a hinge structure 2. The hinge structure 2 is a hinge, and the inner side 101 of the two reader housings 1 is connected to an inner screen 3. The reader housing 1 also integrates a camera 5, a power button 6, and a charging interface 7. The reader housing 1 also has a control motherboard and a power supply inside.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The reader housing 1 also integrates a magnetic sensing module inside, and an external sensing chip 8 that works in conjunction with the sensing module. The sensing module is a reader / writer, and the sensing chip 8 is an electronic tag. The two communicate based on RFID radio frequency technology. When different sensing chips 8 are detected, the reader can enter different reading modes (including night mode and day mode). This allows different modes to be activated by different sensing chips 8, increasing the fun of using the reader. The reader housing 1 also has an RGB breathing light on the outside. This breathing light 9 can be named according to the name of this application, such as Magic Book. The breathing light is connected to the controller and can display different states of the reader through different colors and flashing states.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inner screen 3 is a single flexible folding screen 301. The single flexible folding screen 301 provides better overall integrity. In this embodiment, the single flexible folding screen 301 can be displayed as a whole or divided into two independent display and operation areas.

[0030] Please refer to Example 2 for details. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The foldable e-book reader includes two symmetrically arranged reader housings 1. One side of the reader housing 1 is the inner side 101 of the reader, and the other side is the outer side 102 of the reader. The two reader housings 1 are movably connected by a hinge structure 2. The hinge structure 2 is a hinge. An inner screen 3 is connected to the inner side 101 of the two reader housings 1. The reader housing 1 also integrates a camera 5, a power button 6, and a charging interface 7. The reader housing 1 also has a control motherboard and a power supply inside.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner screen 3 consists of two independent screens 302, which are fixed to the two reader housings 1 respectively. The two screens 302 are symmetrically arranged about the pivot structure 2. The two screens 302 are located on opposite sides of the inner housing. The first screen and the second screen can be displayed synchronously or independently. The two screens can move vertically up and down by 180 degrees. The device can also integrate drawing functions. When in use, the first screen and the second screen can be used for drawing at any angle within 180 degrees. In specific drawing use, the first screen can be used as a canvas and pattern lines, and the second screen can be used as a color and color palette. It supports pen control and touch drawing.

[0032] Example 3, please refer to it carefully. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on either of the above two embodiments, an outer screen 4 can also be fixedly installed on one of the outer sides 102 of the reader housing 1.

[0033] Working principle: The two symmetrically arranged reader housings 1 are movably connected by a pivot structure 2, which makes this utility model foldable. After the two reader housings 1 are unfolded, they can be displayed in the form of a book through the inner screen 3. This combines the appearance of a book with the touch screen, and is perfectly integrated with the visual effects when turning pages, bringing readers a familiar but brand-new experience.
