[0033] At present, many electronic devices adopt foldable design to improve the portability of the electronic devices. However, in the folded state of the electronic device, the bodies relatively rotating on the electronic device cannot be closely attached, thereby affecting the aesthetic degree of the electronic device. In the related art, a locking structure is arranged between the bodies relatively rotating on the electronic device to lock the relative positions between the relatively rotating bodies in the folded state of the electronic device. However, the arrangement of the locking structure increases the difficulty of unfolding the electronic device, thereby affecting the use experience of the electronic device.

[0034] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, here, it needs to be explained that the electronic device mentioned in the embodiment of the present application can be a notebook computer, can be a folding mobile phone, and can also be a game console, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Figure 1 In an implementation provided by the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can be a notebook computer.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , the electronic device can include a first body 1 and a second body 2 connected by rotation, a support 3, a first target 4, and a second target 5 matched with the first target 4, the first body 1 can rotate relative to the second body 2 to realize the form change of the electronic device, and the electronic device can have a first form and a second form; the first end 31 of the support 3 can be movably connected with the first body 1, and the second end 32 of the support 3 can be movably connected with the second body 2, so that the support 3 can change the posture following the form change of the electronic device; the first target 4 can be arranged in one of the first body 1 and the second body 2; the second target 5 can be connected to the support 3; in the case of switching from the first form to the second form, the support 3 can drive the second target 5 to move towards the first target 4, so that the first target 4 cooperates with the second target 5, and the cooperation state of the first target 4 and the second target 5 can be a first target state, in the first target state, the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be a first target force; in the case of switching from the second form to the first form, the support 3 can drive the second target 5 to disengage from the first target 4 against the first target force, the cooperation state of the first target 4 and the second target 5 can be a second target state, and the support 3 can drive the second target 5 to move away from the first target 4, in the second target state, the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be a second target force, and the second target force can be less than the first target force.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are both part of the electronic device, and the structural design of the first body 1 and the second body 2 has multiple possibilities. For example, the first body 1 and the second body 2 can both be screen parts; or the first body 1 can be a host part, and the second body 2 can be a screen part, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present application, the first body 1 and the second body 2 of the electronic device can be rotationally connected. In order to ensure the stability of the electronic device in the process of unfolding, the volume of the rotation shaft structure between the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be increased to improve the rotation damping of the rotation shaft structure. However, in order to avoid occupying the internal space of the electronic device due to the increase of the volume of the rotation shaft structure, the support 3 can be arranged between the first body 1 and the second body 2 of the electronic device. In this way, on the one hand, the arrangement of the support 3 can improve the stability of the electronic device in the form; on the other hand, the support 3 can change the posture along with the change of the form of the electronic device, so that the support 3 in different postures can provide different fulcrums for the electronic device, thereby improving the flexibility of the use of the support 3. In the embodiments of the present application, the support 3 can provide support for the first body 1 and the second body 2, so the structural design of the support 3 has multiple possibilities, for example, the support 3 can be a plate structure, a rod structure or a block structure, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to make the support 3 change the posture along with the change of the form of the electronic device, the first body 1, the second body 2 and the support 3 can be movably connected, so that the support 3 can move relative to the first body 1 and the second body 2 when the electronic device changes the form. The connection mode of the support 3 with the first body 1 and the second body 2 has multiple possibilities, for example, the first end 31 of the support 3 can be rotationally connected with the first body 1 only, or can be slidably connected with the first body 1 only, or can be rotationally connected with the first body 1 while being slidably connected with the first body 1; the second end 32 of the support 3 can be rotationally connected with the second body 2 only, or can be slidably connected with the second body 2 only, or can be rotationally connected with the second body 2 while being slidably connected with the second body 2, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can have a first form and a second form, and the cooperation state between the first target 4 and the second target 5 can include a first target state and a second target state. In the first form, the first target 4 can be disengaged from the second target 5, and the cooperation state between the first target 4 and the second target 5 can be the second target state, so that the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be the second target force. In the second form, the first target 4 can be engaged with the second target 5, and the cooperation state between the first target 4 and the second target 5 can be the first target state, so that the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be the first target force. Since the engagement of the first target 4 and the second target 5 can increase the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2, the second target force can be smaller than the first target force.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be matched in various ways, for example, the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be matched in a clamping manner or in a magnetic attraction manner, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the first form can correspond to a folded form of the electronic device, and the second form can correspond to an unfolded form of the electronic device; or the first form can correspond to an unfolded form of the electronic device, and the second form can correspond to a folded form of the electronic device, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the first target piece 4 can be arranged at various positions, for example, the first target piece 4 can be arranged on the first body 1 or on the second body 2, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0043] In the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can include a first body 1 and a second body 2 rotatably connected, a support piece 3, a first target piece 4, and a second target piece 5 matched with the first target piece 4, the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be switched between the first form and the second form by relative rotation; the first end 31 of the support piece 3 can be movably connected with the first body 1, and the second end 32 of the support piece 3 can be movably connected with the second body 2, so that when the first body 1 and the second body 2 rotate relative to each other, the first end 31 of the support piece 3 can move relative to the first body 1, and the second end 32 of the support piece 3 can move relative to the second body 2, thereby enabling the support piece 3 to change the posture following the change of the form of the electronic device.

[0044] Moreover, the first target piece 4 can be arranged on one of the first body 1 and the second body 2, and the second target piece 5 can be connected to the support piece 3. When switching from the first mode to the second mode, the support piece 3 can drive the second target piece 5 to move towards the first target piece 4, so that the first target piece 4 can cooperate with the second target piece 5. The cooperation state of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be a first target state. In the first target state, the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be a first target force. Since the cooperation of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can increase the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2, the stability of the electronic device in the second mode is improved. Here, the second mode can refer to a folded mode. Increasing the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 in the folded mode can force the first body 1 and the second body 2 to closely fit, thereby improving the appearance of the electronic device. On the other hand, it can also inhibit the relative displacement between the first body 1 and the second body 2, avoiding scratches between the first body 1 and the second body 2 due to repeated friction. The second mode can refer to an unfolded mode. Since the unfolded mode generally corresponds to the use state of the electronic device, increasing the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 in the unfolded mode can reduce the probability of relative rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device in use.

[0045] In addition, when switching from the second mode to the first mode, the support piece 3 can drive the second target piece 5 to disengage from the first target piece 4 against the first target force. The cooperation state of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be a second target state. In the second target state, the relative rotation force of the first body 1 and the second body 2 is a second target force. Here, the electronic device needs to change the mode by external force. When switching from the second mode to the first mode, the force applied to the first body 1 and the second body 2 is transmitted to the support piece 3, so that the support piece 3 can generate a component force on the second target piece 5, and the direction of the component force is different from the direction of the force applied to the first body 1 and the second body 2. This is more conducive to disengaging the second target piece 5 from the first target piece 4, reducing the external force required for mode switching of the electronic device, and improving the user experience.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, in the process of switching the electronic device from the folded form to the unfolded form, the electronic device needs to be unlocked first and then unfolded. In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can include a first body 1 and a second body 2 connected by rotation, a support 3, a first target piece 4, and a second target piece 5 matched with the first target piece 4, wherein the first target piece 4 can be arranged on one of the first body 1 and the second body 2; the second target piece 5 can be connected to the support 3. In this way, in the process of switching the electronic device from the folded form to the unfolded form, the support 3 can drive the second target piece 5 to disengage from the first target piece 4, without the need to separately disengage the cooperation between the second target piece 5 and the first target piece 4 before the electronic device is unfolded, reducing redundant operations, optimizing the user's unfolding process of the electronic device, and improving the user's experience.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in a possible embodiment of the present application, the first target piece 4 can be arranged on the first body 1, the first end 31 of the support 3 can be rotatably connected to the first body 1 around the target axis, the first target piece 4 can have a first part 41, the second target piece 5 can have a second part 51 for cooperating with the first part 41, the movement track of the first part 41 around the target axis can at least partially coincide with the movement track of the second part 51 around the target axis, so that the first part 41 cooperates with the second part 51 in the second form, and the cooperation state of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be the first target state. In this way, when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are relatively rotated to the second form, the movement track of the first part 41 around the target axis can coincide with the movement track of the second part 51 around the target axis, that is, the first part 41 of the first target piece 4 can contact the second part 51 of the second target piece 5, so that the first part 41 cooperates with the second part 51 in the second form, at this time, the cooperation state of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be the first target state, improving the stability of the electronic device in the second form. Here, the first end 31 of the support 3 can be rotatably connected to the first body 1 around the target axis, which can improve the accuracy of the relative position between the support 3 and the first body 1. The first target piece 4 can be arranged on the first body 1, and the second target piece 5 can be connected to the support 3. By relatively rotating the first body 1 and the support 3 to drive the first part 41 and the second part 51 to cooperate, the cooperation accuracy between the first part 41 and the second part 51 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device in use.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the first part 41 and the second part 51 can have various structures, for example, the first part 41 can include a magnetic attraction part, the second part 51 can include a magnetic conductive part matched with the magnetic attraction part, and the first part 41 and the second part 51 can be matched by magnetic attraction. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0049] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in a possible embodiment of the present application, in the first mode, the first body 1 can have a first position relative to the second body 2, and in the second mode, the first body 1 can have a second position relative to the second body 2; the first target piece 4 can be arranged on the target area 13 of the first body 1, the first part 41 can include a clamping part 411, and the second part 51 can include a matched part 511 matched with the clamping part 411; in the first position, along the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, a target distance can be formed between the target area 13 and the second body 2, the clamping part 411 can abut against the matched part 511, and the clamping part 411 can be located on the side of the matched part 511 facing the first body 1, and the cooperation state of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be a second target state; in the second position, along the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, at least part of the target area 13 can be attached to the second body 2, the clamping part 411 can abut against the matched part 511, and the clamping part 411 can be located on the side of the matched part 511 away from the first body 1, and the cooperation state of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be a first target state. In this way, Figure 8 , in the case of switching from the first mode to the second mode, the first body 1 can move to the first position relative to the second body 2, so that the clamping part 411 can abut against the matched part 511 in the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, and the abutment of the clamping part 411 and the matched part 511 can generate resistance, thereby changing the user's hand feeling to remind the user that the clamping part 411 has contacted the matched part 511, thereby improving the user's experience. Referring to Figure 6 , in the case that the first body 1 can move to the second position relative to the second body 2, the clamping part 411 can abut against the matched part 511, and the clamping part 411 can be located on the side of the matched part 511 away from the first body 1, and the matched part 511 can increase the force of relative rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2 by limiting the movement of the clamping part 411. In addition, along the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, at least part of the target area 13 can be attached to the second body 2, which can reduce the gap between the first body 1 and the second body 2 in the second mode, thereby reducing the exposed area of the first target piece 4 and further improving the appearance of the electronic device.

[0050] It should be noted that, with reference to Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the target area 13 can refer to the setting area of the first target piece 4 on the first body 1. The target distance formed between the target area 13 and the second body 2 can refer to the gap between the target area 13 and the second body 2. The specific value of the target distance can be adaptively designed according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, in the second position, the target area 13 can only partially adhere to the second body 2 or fully adhere to the second body 2 along the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, in the case of switching from the first position to the second position, the matching mode between the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 has multiple possibilities. For example, the electronic device can further include a reset spring, one end of the reset spring is connected to the support 3, and the other end of the reset spring is connected to the second target piece 5. In the case of switching from the first position to the second position, the reset spring is compressed and deformed under the action of external force, so that the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 are misaligned in the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, so that the clamping part 411 can move to the side of the matching part 511 away from the first body 1.

[0053] With reference to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In a possible embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first part 41 and the second part 51 can include an elastic part 412, the first target force can include a first deformation force for deforming the elastic part 412, and the second target force can include a second deformation force for deforming the elastic part 412; with reference to Figure 9 In the case of switching from the first position to the second position, the elastic part 412 can be deformed under the action of the second deformation force to misalign the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 in the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, and to move the clamping part 411 to the side of the matching part 511 away from the first body 1; with reference to Figure 10In the case of switching from the second position to the first position, the elastic part 412 can be deformed under the action of the first deformation force to dislocate the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 in the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2, and move the clamping part 411 to the side of the matching part 511 facing the first body 1. Here, the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 can be dislocated in the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 by the elastic part 412, so that the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 can be matched or disengaged. In the case of matching the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511, the elastic force of the elastic part 412 can continuously provide the pre-tightening force, so that the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 can be reliably matched, reducing the accidental disengagement of the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511 due to vibration, impact and other factors, and improving the reliability of the electronic device.

[0054] With reference to Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping part 411 can have a clamping surface 4111 for matching with the matching part 511, and the clamping part 411 can abut against the matching part 511 through the clamping surface 4111 in the case of matching the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511. Here, the clamping surface 4111 can be designed in various structures, for example, the clamping surface 4111 can be a plane or an arc surface, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0055] With reference to Figure 6 In a possible embodiment of the present application, the clamping part 411 has a clamping surface 4111 for matching with the matching part 511, and in the case of switching from the second position to the first position, the second target piece 5 driven by the support piece 3 can move away from the first target piece 4 in the movement direction of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 to reduce the contact area between the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511, and the movement direction of the second target piece 5 relative to the first target piece 4 can be parallel to the clamping surface 4111. In this way, in the case of switching from the second position to the first position, the movement direction of the second target piece 5 relative to the first target piece 4 is parallel to the clamping surface 4111, which can reduce the friction between the matching part 511 and the clamping surface 4111, thereby reducing the external force required for disengaging the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511, and improving the user's operation experience.

[0056] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3In the embodiment, the second body 2 can have a guide 22, and the electronic device can further include a sliding piece 6 movably arranged on the guide 22, and the sliding piece 6 can be rotatably connected to the second end 32 of the support piece 3. The extension direction of the guide 22 can be perpendicular to the extension direction of the target axis, and the extension direction of the rotation axis between the sliding piece 6 and the support piece 3 can be parallel to the extension direction of the target axis. The second target piece 5 can be arranged on the sliding piece 6 to be connected to the support piece 3 through the sliding piece 6. In this way, when the first body 1 rotates relative to the second body 2, the support piece 3 will change its posture along with the change of the form of the electronic device, so that the second end 32 of the support piece 3 will move along the extension direction of the guide 22 while rotating relative to the second body 2. The electronic device includes the sliding piece 6 movably arranged on the guide 22, and the second end 32 of the support piece 3 can be rotatably connected to the sliding piece 6 to be movably connected to the second body 2 through the sliding piece 6. Moreover, the second target piece 5 is connected to the support piece 3 through the sliding piece 6, so that the second target piece 5 can move only along the extension direction of the guide 22 under the driving of the support piece 3, thereby making the movement track of the second target piece 5 a straight line. When the clamping portion 411 and the matching portion 511 are disengaged, the movement track of the second target piece 5 is a straight line, which can make the direction of the friction between the clamping portion 411 and the matching portion 511 single, thereby reducing the resistance of relative movement between the clamping portion 411 and the matching portion 511.

[0057] In the embodiment, the guide 22 can have various structural forms, for example, the guide 22 can be a guide rail, a guide column or a guide rib, and the embodiment is not limited in this regard. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In a possible embodiment, the guide 22 can have a sliding groove 221, the extension direction of the sliding groove 221 is parallel to the extension direction of the guide 22, and the sliding piece 6 is movably arranged in the sliding groove 221. In the first form, the second target piece 5 is driven by the sliding piece 6 to enter the sliding groove 221, so that the matching state of the second target piece 5 and the first target piece 4 is the second target state. In the second form, the second target piece 5 is driven by the sliding piece 6 to extend out of the sliding groove 221, so that the matching state of the second target piece 5 and the first target piece 4 is the first target state. Here, the guide 22 and the sliding piece 6 are matched through the sliding groove 221, which can improve the matching precision therebetween. In the first form, the second target piece 5 does not need to be matched with the first target piece 4, therefore, the second target piece 5 can be driven by the sliding piece 6 to enter the sliding groove 221, so as to avoid the second target piece 5 from being exposed, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device. In the case of switching from the first form to the second form, the second target piece 5 can be driven by the sliding piece 6 to extend out of the sliding groove 221 to be matched with the first target piece 4, thereby improving the stability of the electronic device in the second form.

[0058] In the embodiment, the second target piece 5 can be directly connected with the support piece 3, and the clamping surface 4111 of the clamping part 411 on the second target piece 5 can be an arc surface. In this way, when the first body 1 rotates relative to the second body 2, the support piece 3 changes the posture along with the change of the form of the electronic device. The second target piece 5 is directly connected with the support piece 3, so that the movement track of the second target piece 5 is an arc. The clamping surface 4111 of the clamping part 411 on the second target piece 5 can be an arc surface, which can reduce the resistance of relative movement between the clamping part 411 and the matching part 511, thereby improving the operation experience of the user.

[0059] In the embodiment, in the second form, the matching positions of the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 have multiple possibilities. For example, in the second form, the first body 1 and the second body 2 form an accommodation space, and the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 are matched in the accommodation space. For details, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In a possible embodiment of the present application, the second body 2 has an avoiding cavity 23, and the avoiding cavity 23 has an angled first opening and a second opening. The first opening is in communication with the sliding groove 221. In the case of switching from the first form to the second form, the support piece 3 drives the second target piece 5 to enter the avoiding cavity 23 through the first opening, and the first body 1 drives the first target piece 4 to enter the avoiding cavity 23 through the second opening, so that the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 are matched in the avoiding cavity 23. In the case of switching from the second form to the first form, the support piece 3 drives the second target piece 5 to enter the sliding groove 221 through the first opening, and the first body 1 drives the first target piece 4 to exit the avoiding cavity 23 through the second opening, so that the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 are disengaged. Here, the second body 2 has the avoiding cavity 23, and in the second form, the first target piece 4 and the second target piece 5 can be matched in the avoiding cavity 23 without occupying the space between the first body 1 and the second body 2, so that the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be closely attached in the second form, thereby further improving the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device in the second form.

[0060] In the embodiment, the arrangement position of the second target piece 5 along the arrangement direction of the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the support piece 3 has multiple possibilities. For example, the distance between the second target piece 5 and the first end 31 of the support piece 3 can be less than the distance between the second target piece 5 and the second end 32 of the support piece 3 along the arrangement direction of the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the support piece 3. Alternatively, the distance between the second target piece 5 and the first end 31 of the support piece 3 can be equal to the distance between the second target piece 5 and the second end 32 of the support piece 3 along the arrangement direction of the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the support piece 3. The present application is not limited in this regard.

[0061] In a possible embodiment of the present application, the second target member 5 is farther from the first end 31 of the support member 3 than from the second end 32 of the support member 3 along the arrangement direction of the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the support member 3. When the first body 1 rotates relative to the second body 2, the first body 1 can drive the support member 3 to change the posture, and the force point of the first body 1 on the support member 3 is located at the first end 31 of the support member 3. In this way, the second target member 5 is farther from the first end 31 of the support member 3 than from the second end 32 of the support member 3 along the arrangement direction of the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the support member 3, which can increase the length of the force arm of the force of the first body 1 on the support member 3, and thus the disengagement of the first target member 4 from the second target member 5 is easier.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of the first target members 4 and the second target members 5 can be various. For example, the first target members 4 and the second target members 5 can be arranged two respectively or five respectively along the extension direction of the target axis, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

The input assembly 21 can include a key or a touch panel, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0065] In the first mode, the angle between the display surface of the second display part 12 and the plane where the input assembly 21 is located has multiple possibilities. For example, in the first mode, the angle between the display surface of the second display part 12 and the plane where the input assembly 21 is located can be 30°, or can be 90°. Alternatively, in the first mode, the display surface of the second display part 12 can also be parallel to the plane where the input assembly 21 is located, and the present application does not limit this.

[0066] In the second mode, the angle between the display surface of the second display part 12 and the plane where the input assembly 21 is located has multiple possibilities. For example, in the second mode, the angle between the display surface of the second display part 12 and the plane where the input assembly 21 is located can be 45°, or can be 60°. Alternatively, in the second mode, the display surface of the second display part 12 can also be parallel to the plane where the input assembly 21 is located, and the present application does not limit this.

[0067] In the scheme provided by the present application, the first body 1 can include a first display part 11 and a second display part 12.

The second body 2 has an input assembly 21. In this way, during use of the electronic device, the first display part 11 and the second display part 12 can be individually adjusted in angle, thereby improving the flexibility of the electronic device during use. The first end 31 of the support part 3 can be movably connected to the first display part 11, and the first target part 4 can be arranged on the first display part 11. In this way, in the second mode, the first target part 4 cooperates with the second target part 5 to increase the force of the first display part 11 rotating relative to the second body 2.
