Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, specifically to a foldable housing device and a foldable electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Incorporating attractive magnetic components in foldable electronic devices can improve their compactness when folded together, while using repulsive magnetic components can improve their ease of unfolding. However, with the increasing thinness and lightness of foldable electronic devices, it becomes difficult to find a point of force to open devices with attractive magnetic components, and it is also difficult to guarantee a smooth folding process with repulsive magnetic components. Therefore, how to balance the compactness of the foldable housing with the ease of unfolding has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a foldable housing device and a foldable electronic device that can balance compactness when combined with ease of unfolding.

[0004] On one hand, this application provides a foldable housing device, comprising:

[0005] Rotating shaft mechanism;

[0006] The housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing rotatably connected via the rotating shaft mechanism;

[0007] The magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element disposed within the first housing, and a third magnetic element and a fourth magnetic element disposed within the second housing. When the foldable housing device is in a closed state, the first magnetic element and the third magnetic element are disposed opposite to each other, and the second magnetic element and the fourth magnetic element are disposed opposite to each other.

[0008] A magnetic shielding assembly includes a first magnetic shielding element and a second magnetic shielding element disposed within the first housing, and a third magnetic shielding element and a fourth magnetic shielding element disposed within the second housing. During the process of the foldable housing device changing from a folded state to a flattened state, the first magnetic shielding element covers the side of the first magnetic element facing the third magnetic element, the second magnetic shielding element covers the side of the second magnetic element facing the fourth magnetic element, the third magnetic shielding element covers the side of the third magnetic element facing the first magnetic element, and the fourth magnetic shielding element covers the side of the fourth magnetic element facing the second magnetic element.

[0009] A driving assembly includes a first driving member, a second driving member, a third driving member, and a fourth driving member. The first driving member is disposed within the first housing and connected to the first magnetic shielding member, and is used to drive the first magnetic shielding member to move. The second driving member is disposed within the first housing and connected to the second magnetic shielding member, and is used to drive the second magnetic shielding member to move. The third driving member is disposed within the second housing and connected to the third magnetic shielding member, and is used to drive the third magnetic shielding member to move. The fourth driving member is disposed within the second housing and connected to the fourth magnetic shielding member, and is used to drive the fourth magnetic shielding member to move.

[0010] On the other hand, this application also provides a foldable electronic device, including a flexible display screen and the aforementioned foldable housing device.

[0011] The foldable housing device provided in this application includes a pivot mechanism, a housing assembly, a magnetic assembly, a magnetic shielding assembly, and a drive assembly. The housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing rotatably connected by the pivot mechanism. The magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element disposed within the first housing, and a third magnetic element and a fourth magnetic element disposed within the second housing. The magnetic shielding assembly includes a first magnetic shielding element and a second magnetic shielding element disposed within the first housing, and a third magnetic shielding element and a fourth magnetic shielding element disposed within the second housing. The drive assembly includes a first drive element disposed within the first housing and connected to the first magnetic shielding element, a second drive element disposed within the first housing and connected to the second magnetic shielding element, a third drive element disposed within the second housing and connected to the third magnetic shielding element, and a fourth drive element disposed within the second housing and connected to the fourth magnetic shielding element. Thus, by driving the first magnetic shielding component to move between the first magnetic component and the third magnetic component via the first driving component, and by driving the third magnetic shielding component to move between the first magnetic component and the third magnetic component via the third driving component, the magnetic force between the first magnetic component and the third magnetic component can be weakened or even eliminated. By driving the second magnetic shielding component to move between the second magnetic component and the fourth magnetic component via the second driving component, and by driving the fourth magnetic shielding component to move between the second magnetic component and the fourth magnetic component, the magnetic force between the second magnetic component and the fourth magnetic component can be weakened or even eliminated. Therefore, based on the state of the foldable housing device, by changing the positions of the first magnetic shielding component, the second magnetic shielding component, the third magnetic shielding component, and the fourth magnetic shielding component, the compactness of the foldable housing device and the convenience of its unfolding can be taken into account. Furthermore, the number of magnetic shielding components is the same as the number of magnetic components. During the process of the foldable housing device moving from a folded state to a flattened state, the first magnetic shielding component covers the side of the first magnetic component facing the third magnetic component, the second magnetic shielding component covers the side of the second magnetic component facing the fourth magnetic component, the third magnetic shielding component covers the side of the third magnetic component facing the first magnetic component, and the fourth magnetic shielding component covers the side of the fourth magnetic component facing the third magnetic component. By covering the corresponding magnetic components with magnetic shielding components, the magnetism on the surface can be weakened during the unfolding of the foldable housing device. When applied to foldable electronic devices, this can reduce the dust attraction of the flexible display screen. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions provided in this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only a portion of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0027] In this application, the terms "implementation" and "example" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described may be included in at least one implementation of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same implementation, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative implementation. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the implementations described in this application can be combined with other implementations.

[0028] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, an assembly or device that includes one or more components is not limited to the one or more components listed, but may optionally also include one or more components not listed but inherent to the exemplified product, or one or more components that it should have based on the described function.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the foldable electronic device 1000 provided in this application when it is in a flattened state. The foldable electronic device 1000 includes, but is not limited to, a foldable mobile phone or a foldable tablet. This application uses a foldable mobile phone as an example. In this application, the foldable mobile phone includes, but is not limited to, an inward-folding foldable phone, an S-shaped tri-fold foldable phone including inward folding, or a G-shaped tri-fold foldable phone including inward folding. This application uses an inward-folding foldable phone as an example, and will not be described further hereafter. The foldable electronic device 1000 has a flattened state and a folded state. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the foldable electronic device 1000 may also have one or more hovering states. The foldable electronic device 1000 includes a flexible display screen 200 and a foldable housing device 100.

[0030] It is understandable that when the foldable electronic device 1000 is in a flattened state, both the flexible display screen 200 and the foldable housing device 100 are in a flattened state; when the foldable electronic device 1000 is in a folded state, both the flexible display screen 200 and the foldable housing device 100 are in a folded state; and when the foldable electronic device 1000 is in a hovered state, both the flexible display screen 200 and the foldable housing device 100 are in a hovered state.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the flexible display screen 200 provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in a flattened state. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the flexible display screen 200 provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in a combined state. Figure 4 This is another structural schematic diagram of the flexible display screen 200 provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in a merged state. The flexible display screen 200 includes, but is not limited to, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) flexible display screen. The flexible display screen 200 includes a first non-bending display portion 21, a bending display portion 22, and a second non-bending display portion 23 arranged sequentially. When the flexible display screen 200 is in a flattened state, the first non-bending display portion 21, the bending display portion 22, and the second non-bending display portion 23 are all flattened. During the process of the flexible display screen 200 changing from a flattened state to a merged state, the first non-bending display portion 21 and the second non-bending display portion 23 do not bend, while the bending display portion 22 bends. When the flexible display screen 200 is in a merged state, the first non-bending display portion 21 and the second non-bending display portion 23 remain flattened, while the bending display portion 22 exhibits a specific bending shape. Optionally, when the flexible display screen 200 is in the merged state, the bent display section 22 is bent into a teardrop shape or a U-shape.

[0032] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bending display section 22 includes a first sub-bending display section 24, a second sub-bending display section 25, and a third sub-bending display section 26 arranged sequentially. The first sub-bending display section 24 is adjacent to the first non-bending display section 21, and the third sub-bending display section 26 is adjacent to the second non-bending display section 23. It is understood that the first non-bending display section 21, the first sub-bending display section 24, the second sub-bending display section 25, the third sub-bending display section 26, and the second non-bending display section 23 are arranged sequentially. The second sub-bending display section 25 is freely bendable. The first sub-bending display section 24 and the third sub-bending display section 26 can be bent under the action of the foldable housing device 100.

[0033] When the flexible display screen 200 is in the merged state, the first non-bent display section 21 and the second non-bent display section 23 are opposite each other. The line length between the end of the first sub-bent display section 24 away from the second sub-bent display section 25 and the end of the third sub-bent display section 26 away from the second sub-bent display section 25 is L1, and the line length between the end of the first sub-bent display section 24 near the second sub-bent display section 25 and the end of the third sub-bent display section 26 near the second sub-bent display section 25 is L2, where L1 is less than L2. Thus, the bending display section 22 can be understood as being bent into a teardrop shape.

[0034] When the foldable electronic device 1000 is in the folded state, the bending display part 22 is bent into a teardrop shape under the action of the foldable housing device 100, which can reduce the gap between the first non-bending display part 21 and the second non-bending display part 23 when the foldable electronic device 1000 is in the folded state, and also helps to reduce the creases of the bending display part 22.

[0035] In another possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The bending display unit 22 includes a fourth sub-bending display unit 27, a fifth sub-bending display unit 28, and a sixth sub-bending display unit 29 arranged sequentially. The fourth sub-bending display unit 27 is adjacent to the first non-bending display unit 21, and the sixth sub-bending display unit 29 is adjacent to the second non-bending display unit 23. It is understood that the first non-bending display unit 21, the fourth sub-bending display unit 27, the fifth sub-bending display unit 28, the sixth sub-bending display unit 29, and the second non-bending display unit 23 are arranged sequentially. The fifth sub-bending display unit 28 is capable of free bending. The fourth sub-bending display unit 27 and the sixth sub-bending display unit 29 are capable of bending under the action of the foldable housing device 100.

[0036] When the flexible display screen 200 is in the merged state, the first non-bent display section 21 and the second non-bent display section 23 are opposite each other. The line length between the end of the fourth sub-bent display section 27 away from the fifth sub-bent display section 28 and the end of the sixth sub-bent display section 29 away from the fifth sub-bent display section 28 is L3, and the line length between the end of the fourth sub-bent display section 27 near the fifth sub-bent display section 28 and the end of the sixth sub-bent display section 29 near the fifth sub-bent display section 28 is L4, where L3 equals L4. Thus, it can be understood that the second bendable display section 22 is bent into a U-shape.

[0037] When the foldable electronic device 1000 is in a combined state, the bending display section 22 is bent into a U-shape under the action of the foldable housing device 100, which helps to reduce the design difficulty of the foldable housing device 100.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the foldable housing device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in a flattened state. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The diagram shows a partial structural representation of the foldable housing device 100 in its folded state. Figure 7 for Figure 5 This is another structural schematic diagram of the foldable housing device 100 in its folded state. The foldable housing device 100 is used to support the flexible display screen 200 and to drive the flexible display screen 200 to unfold or fold. The unfolding described in this application embodiment is the process of switching from the folded state to the flattened state, and the folding is the process of switching from the flattened state to the folded state. The foldable housing device 100 includes a pivot mechanism 20, a housing assembly, a magnetic assembly, a magnetic shielding assembly, and a drive assembly.

[0039] The rotating shaft mechanism 20 includes, but is not limited to, a three-bar linkage, a four-bar linkage, or a five-bar linkage. In embodiments where the rotating shaft mechanism 20 is a four-bar linkage, the connection relationship between the four links includes, but is not limited to, two rotations and two sliding links, or three rotations and one sliding link.

[0040] The housing assembly includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102. The first housing 101 is, but is not limited to, a semi-enclosed housing having an opening facing the side of the pivot mechanism 20. The inner surface of the first housing 101 encloses a receiving space. The second housing 102 is, but is not limited to, a semi-enclosed housing having an opening facing the side of the pivot mechanism 20. The inner surface of the second housing 102 encloses a receiving space. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are rotatably connected via the pivot mechanism 20. Specifically, the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the pivot mechanism 20. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 can be symmetrical about the central axis of the pivot mechanism 20. When the second housing 102 rotates relative to the first housing 101, the foldable housing device 100 is unfolded or folded. The foldable housing device 100 described in this application is in a flattened state, i.e., when the angle between the second housing 102 and the first housing 101 is equal to or close to 180°, and in a folded state, i.e., when the angle between the second housing 102 and the first housing 101 is equal to or close to 0°.

[0041] The magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic element 301, a second magnetic element 302, a third magnetic element 303, and a fourth magnetic element 304. The first magnetic element 301 and the second magnetic element 302 are disposed within the first housing 101. The third magnetic element 303 and the fourth magnetic element 304 are disposed within the second housing 102. When the foldable housing device 100 is in a closed state, the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 are positioned opposite each other, and the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 are positioned opposite each other.

[0042] The first magnetic element 301 is, but is not limited to, a magnet or an electromagnetic element. The second magnetic element 302 is, but is not limited to, a magnet or an electromagnetic element. The third magnetic element 303 is, but is not limited to, a magnet or an electromagnetic element. The fourth magnetic element 304 is, but is not limited to, a magnet or an electromagnetic element. In one possible embodiment, the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 are all magnets. By making the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 all magnets, the circuit design for the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 can be omitted, thereby simplifying the structure of the foldable housing device 100 and facilitating its production and manufacturing. The first magnetic element 301 and the second magnetic element 302 are disposed within the receiving space of the first housing 101. The third magnetic element 303 and the fourth magnetic element 304 are disposed within the receiving space of the second housing 102.

[0043] In one possible implementation, when the foldable housing device 100 is in a closed state, the first magnetic element 301 attracts the third magnetic element 303, and the second magnetic element 302 attracts the fourth magnetic element 304. In this embodiment, the design of the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 is beneficial to improving the tightness of the closed foldable housing device 100.

[0044] In embodiments where the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 are all magnets, the attraction between the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 can be understood as the magnetic poles of their opposing surfaces being opposite, and the attraction between the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 can be understood as the magnetic poles of their opposing surfaces being opposite. Optionally, the magnetic pole of the surface of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303 may be the N pole, and the magnetic pole of the surface of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301 may be the S pole, or the magnetic pole of the surface of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303 may be the S pole, and the magnetic pole of the surface of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301 may be the N pole. Optionally, the magnetic pole of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 is the N pole, and the magnetic pole of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302 is the S pole; or, the magnetic pole of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 is the S pole, and the magnetic pole of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302 is the N pole.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303, and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304, are all N poles; the magnetic poles of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301, and the magnetic poles of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302, are all S poles. In another possible embodiment, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303, and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304, are all S poles; the magnetic poles of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301, and the magnetic poles of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302, are all N poles. It is understood that the first magnetic element 301 and the second magnetic element 302 located within the first housing 101 have the same magnetic poles, and the third magnetic element 303 and the fourth magnetic element 304 located within the second housing 102 have the same magnetic poles.

[0046] In another possible implementation, when the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state, the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 can repel each other, and the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 can repel each other. In this embodiment, the design of the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 is beneficial to improving the ease of unfolding the foldable housing device 100.

[0047] In embodiments where the first magnetic element 301, the second magnetic element 302, the third magnetic element 303, and the fourth magnetic element 304 are all magnets, the repulsion between the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 can be understood as the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 having the same magnetic poles, and the repulsion between the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 can be understood as the opposing surfaces of the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 having the same magnetic poles. Optionally, the magnetic pole of the surface of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the third magnetic element 303 may be the N pole, and the magnetic pole of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301 may be the N pole; alternatively, the magnetic pole of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303 may be the S pole, and the magnetic pole of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301 may be the S pole. Optionally, the magnetic pole of the surface of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 is the N pole, and the magnetic pole of the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302 is the N pole; or, the magnetic pole of the surface of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 is the S pole, and the magnetic pole of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302 is the S pole.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303, and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 are all N poles, and the magnetic poles of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301, and the magnetic poles of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302 are all N poles. In another possible embodiment, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 301 relative to the surface of the third magnetic element 303, and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 302 relative to the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 are all S poles, and the magnetic poles of the third magnetic element 303 relative to the surface of the first magnetic element 301, and the magnetic poles of the fourth magnetic element 304 relative to the surface of the second magnetic element 302 are all S poles. It is understood that the first magnetic element 301 and the second magnetic element 302 located within the first housing 101 have the same magnetic poles, and the third magnetic element 303 and the fourth magnetic element 304 located within the second housing 102 have the same magnetic poles.

[0049] In this application, when the foldable housing device 100 is in the combined state, when the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 are opposite each other and attract each other, the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 are opposite each other and also attract each other; when the foldable housing device 100 is in the combined state, when the first magnetic element 301 and the third magnetic element 303 are opposite each other and repel each other, the second magnetic element 302 and the fourth magnetic element 304 are opposite each other and also repel each other.

[0050] The magnetic shielding assembly includes a first magnetic shielding element 401, a second magnetic shielding element 402, a third magnetic shielding element 403, and a fourth magnetic shielding element 404. The first magnetic shielding element 401 and the second magnetic shielding element 402 are disposed within the first housing 101. The third magnetic shielding element 403 and the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 are disposed within the second housing 102. During the process of the foldable housing device 100 changing from a folded state to a flattened state, the first magnetic shielding element 401 covers the side of the first magnetic element 301 facing the third magnetic element 303, the second magnetic shielding element 402 covers the side of the second magnetic element 302 facing the fourth magnetic element 304, the third magnetic shielding element 403 covers the side of the third magnetic element 303 facing the first magnetic element 301, and the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 covers the side of the fourth magnetic element 304 facing the second magnetic element 302.

[0051] The first magnetic shielding element 401, the second magnetic shielding element 402, the third magnetic shielding element 403, and the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 have the function of blocking magnetic fields. The material of the first magnetic shielding element 401 includes, but is not limited to, ferrite materials, nanocrystalline materials, or alloy magnetic powder composite materials. The material of the second magnetic shielding element 402 includes, but is not limited to, ferrite materials, nanocrystalline materials, or alloy magnetic powder composite materials. The material of the third magnetic shielding element 403 includes, but is not limited to, ferrite materials, nanocrystalline materials, or alloy magnetic powder composite materials. The materials of the first magnetic shielding element 401, the second magnetic shielding element 402, the third magnetic shielding element 403, and the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 can be the same or different. In one possible embodiment, the materials of the first magnetic shielding element 401, the second magnetic shielding element 402, the third magnetic shielding element 403, and the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 are all ferrite materials.

By driving the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 to move via the fourth driving member 504, when the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state, the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 is located outside the area opposite to the fourth magnetic member 304 and the second magnetic member 302. During the process of the foldable housing device 100 changing from the folded state to the flattened state, the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 covers the side of the fourth magnetic member 304 facing the second magnetic member 302.

[0058] The foldable housing device 100 provided in this application includes a pivot mechanism 20, a housing assembly, a magnetic assembly, a magnetic shielding assembly, and a drive assembly. The housing assembly includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102 rotatably connected by the pivot mechanism 20. The magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic element 301 and a second magnetic element 302 disposed within the first housing 101, and a third magnetic element 303 and a fourth magnetic element 304 disposed within the second housing 102. The magnetic shielding assembly includes a first magnetic shielding element 401 and a second magnetic shielding element 402 disposed within the first housing 101, and a third magnetic shielding element 403 and a fourth magnetic shielding element 404 disposed within the second housing 102. The drive assembly includes a first drive element 501 disposed within the first housing 101 and connected to the first magnetic shielding element 401, a second drive element 502 disposed within the first housing 101 and connected to the second magnetic shielding element 402, a third drive element 503 disposed within the second housing 102 and connected to the third magnetic shielding element 403, and a fourth drive element 504 disposed within the second housing 102 and connected to the fourth magnetic shielding element 404. The actuator 504, by driving the first magnetic shielding component 401 to move between the first magnetic component 301 and the third magnetic component 303, and by driving the third magnetic shielding component 403 to move between the first magnetic component 301 and the third magnetic component 303, the magnetic force between the first magnetic component 301 and the third magnetic component 303 can be weakened or even eliminated. By driving the second magnetic shielding component 402 to move between the second magnetic component 302 and the fourth magnetic component 304, and by driving the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 to move between the second magnetic component 302 and the fourth magnetic component 304, the magnetic force between the second magnetic component 302 and the fourth magnetic component 304 can be weakened or even eliminated. Thus, based on the state of the foldable housing device 100, by changing the positions of the first magnetic shielding component 401, the second magnetic shielding component 402, the third magnetic shielding component 403 and the fourth magnetic shielding component 404, the compactness of the foldable housing device 100 when closed and the convenience of its unfolding can be taken into account. Furthermore, the number of magnetic shielding components is the same as the number of magnetic components. During the process of the foldable housing device 100 moving from the folded state to the flattened state, the first magnetic shielding component 401 covers the side of the first magnetic component 301 facing the third magnetic component 303, the second magnetic shielding component 402 covers the side of the second magnetic component 302 facing the fourth magnetic component 304, the third magnetic shielding component 403 covers the side of the third magnetic component 303 facing the first magnetic component 301, and the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 covers the side of the fourth magnetic component 304 facing the third magnetic component 303. By covering the corresponding magnetic components with magnetic shielding components, the magnetism on the surface can be weakened during the unfolding of the foldable housing device 100. When applied to the foldable electronic device 1000, this can reduce the dust attraction of the flexible display screen 200.

[0059] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7When the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state, the orthographic projection of the first magnetic shielding member 401 on the surface where the first magnetic member 301 is located does not overlap with the first magnetic member 301, the orthographic projection of the second magnetic shielding member 402 on the surface where the second magnetic member 302 is located does not overlap with the second magnetic member 302, the orthographic projection of the third magnetic shielding member 403 on the surface where the third magnetic member 303 is located does not overlap with the third magnetic member 303, and the orthographic projection of the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 on the surface where the fourth magnetic member 304 is located does not overlap with the fourth magnetic member 304.

[0060] Optionally, when the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state, the first magnetic shielding member 401 is arranged side by side with the first magnetic member 301, the second magnetic shielding member 402 is arranged side by side with the second magnetic member 302, the third magnetic shielding member 403 is arranged side by side with the third magnetic member 303, and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 is arranged side by side with the fourth magnetic member 304.

[0061] This embodiment enables the foldable housing device 100 to be in a closed state, where the first magnetic shielding member 401 and the third magnetic shielding member 403 do not block the magnetic field between the first magnetic member 301 and the third magnetic member 303, and the second magnetic shielding member 402 and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 do not block the magnetic field between the second magnetic member 302 and the fourth magnetic member 304. As a result, the first magnetic member 301 and the third magnetic member 303 can attract or repel each other well, and the second magnetic member 302 and the fourth magnetic member 304 can attract or repel each other well.

[0062] In one possible implementation, during the process of the foldable housing device 100 moving from a flattened state to a folded state, the first magnetic shielding member 401 covers the side of the first magnetic member 301 facing the third magnetic member 303, the second magnetic shielding member 402 covers the side of the second magnetic member 302 facing the fourth magnetic member 304, the third magnetic shielding member 403 covers the side of the third magnetic member 303 facing the first magnetic member 301, and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 covers the side of the fourth magnetic member 304 facing the second magnetic member 302.

[0063] In other words, during the process of the foldable housing device 100 changing from a flattened state to a folded state, the first magnetic shielding element 401 is located on the side of the first magnetic element 301 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the first magnetic element 301; the second magnetic shielding element 402 is located on the side of the second magnetic element 302 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the second magnetic element 302; the third magnetic shielding element 403 is located on the side of the third magnetic element 303 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the third magnetic element 303; and the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 is located on the side of the fourth magnetic element 304 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the fourth magnetic element 304.

[0064] Understandably, during the process of the foldable housing device 100 changing from a folded state to a flattened state, the position of the first magnetic shielding member 401 relative to the first magnetic member 301 is the same as the position of the first magnetic shielding member 401 relative to the first magnetic member 301 during the same process; similarly, the position of the second magnetic shielding member 402 relative to the second magnetic member 302 during the same process is the same as the position of the second magnetic shielding member 402 relative to the second magnetic member 302 during the same process. The same applies to the position of the third magnetic shielding element 403 relative to the third magnetic element 303 during the process of the foldable housing device 100 changing from the folded state to the flattened state; the same applies to the position of the fourth magnetic shielding element 404 relative to the fourth magnetic element 304 during the process of the foldable housing device 100 changing from the folded state to the flattened state.

[0065] The arrangement of the first magnetic shielding component 401, the second magnetic shielding component 402, the third magnetic shielding component 403, and the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 in this embodiment can reduce the magnetism of the surface during the folding process of the foldable housing device 100. When applied to the foldable electronic device 1000, it can reduce the dust absorption of the flexible display screen 200.

[0066] In one possible implementation, when the foldable housing device 100 is in a flattened state, the first magnetic shielding member 401 is located on the side of the first magnetic member 301 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the first magnetic member 301; the second magnetic shielding member 402 is located on the side of the second magnetic member 302 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the second magnetic member 302; the third magnetic shielding member 403 is located on the side of the third magnetic member 303 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the third magnetic member 303; and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 is located on the side of the fourth magnetic member 304 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covers the fourth magnetic member 304.

[0067] The arrangement of the first magnetic shielding component 401, the second magnetic shielding component 402, the third magnetic shielding component 403, and the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 in this embodiment can reduce the magnetism of the surface of the foldable housing device 100 when it is flattened for use. When applied to the foldable electronic device 1000, it can reduce the dust absorption of the flexible display screen 200.

[0068] Among them, such as Figure 8As shown, the foldable housing device 100 further includes a control unit 60, which is disposed within the first housing 101 or the second housing 102. The control unit 60 is electrically connected to the first driving member 501, the second driving member 502, the third driving member 503, and the fourth driving member 504. The control unit 60 simultaneously controls the first driving member 501 to drive the first magnetic shielding member 401 to move, controls the second driving member 502 to drive the second magnetic shielding member 402 to move, controls the third driving member 503 to drive the third magnetic shielding member 403 to move, and controls the fourth driving member 504 to drive the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 to move.

[0069] The control unit 60 includes, but is not limited to, a microcontroller unit or a control circuit integrated into a central processing unit. Optionally, the control unit 60 is disposed within the receiving space of the first housing 101, or the control unit 60 is disposed within the receiving space of the second housing 102. The control unit 60 is electrically connected to the first motor of the first drive member 501, the second motor of the second drive member 502, the third motor of the third drive member 503, and the fourth motor of the fourth drive member 504. The control unit 60 is electrically connected to the first motor, including but not limited to, via a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The control unit 60 is electrically connected to the second motor, the third motor, and the fourth motor, including but not limited to, via an FPC. In this embodiment, the first magnetic shielding member 401, the second magnetic shielding member 402, the third magnetic shielding member 403, and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 move synchronously.

[0070] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the foldable housing device 100 further includes a detection component 70, which is disposed in at least one of the rotating shaft mechanism 20, the first housing 101, and the second housing 102. The detection component 70 is used to detect whether the foldable housing device 100 is in a folded state. The control unit 60 is electrically connected to the detection component 70. When the detection component 70 detects that the foldable housing device 100 is in a folded state, the control unit 60 controls the first driving member 501 to drive the first magnetic shielding member 401 to move, controls the second driving member 502 to drive the second magnetic shielding member 402 to move, controls the third driving member 503 to drive the third magnetic shielding member 403 to move, and controls the fourth driving member 504 to drive the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 to move.

[0071] In one possible embodiment, the detection component 70 may include one or more angle detection sensors. These angle sensors determine whether the foldable housing device 100 is in a folded state by detecting angles, such as the angle between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. In another possible embodiment, the detection component 70 may include one or more displacement sensors. These displacement sensors indirectly measure the rotation angle by detecting displacement to determine whether the foldable housing device 100 is in a folded state. Of course, in other possible embodiments, Hall effect sensors or similar devices can also be used to detect whether the foldable housing device 100 is in a folded state. The placement of the detection component 70 can be designed based on its detection method. The control unit 60 and the detection component 70 are connected, but are not limited to, via an FPC electrical connection.

[0072] Specifically, when the detection component 70 detects that the foldable housing device 100 is in a folded state, the control unit 60 controls the first driving member 501 to drive the first magnetic shielding member 401 from a position covering the first magnetic member 301 towards the third magnetic member 303 to the initial position of the first magnetic shielding member 401. At the initial position, the orthographic projection of the first magnetic shielding member 401 onto the surface where the first magnetic member 301 is located does not overlap with the first magnetic member 301. The control unit 60 then controls the second driving member 502 to drive the second magnetic shielding member 402 from a position covering the second magnetic member 302 towards the fourth magnetic member 304 to the initial position of the second magnetic shielding member 402. At the initial position, the second magnetic shielding member 402 onto the surface where the first magnetic member 302 is located does not overlap with the first magnetic member 301. The orthographic projection of the surface does not overlap with the second magnetic element 302. The third driving element 503 is controlled to drive the third magnetic isolation element 403 from a position covering the third magnetic element 303 towards the first magnetic element 301 to the initial position of the third magnetic isolation element 403. At the initial position, the orthographic projection of the third magnetic isolation element 403 on the surface of the third magnetic element 303 does not overlap with the third magnetic element 303. The fourth driving element 504 is controlled to drive the fourth magnetic isolation element 404 from a position covering the fourth magnetic element 304 towards the second magnetic element 302 to the initial position of the fourth magnetic isolation element 404. At the initial position, the orthographic projection of the fourth magnetic isolation element 404 on the surface of the fourth magnetic element 304 does not overlap with the fourth magnetic element 304.

[0073] By setting up the detection component 70 and the control unit 60, the movement of the first magnetic shielding component 401, the second magnetic shielding component 402, the third magnetic shielding component 403 and the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 when the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state can be automated.

[0074] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11The foldable housing device 100 further includes a button assembly 80, which is disposed on the first housing 101 and / or the second housing 102. The control unit 60 is electrically connected to the button assembly 80. When the control unit 60 receives a target signal sent by the button assembly 80, it controls the first driving member 501 to drive the first magnetic shielding member 401 to move, controls the second driving member 502 to drive the second magnetic shielding member 402 to move, controls the third driving member 503 to drive the third magnetic shielding member 403 to move, and controls the fourth driving member 504 to drive the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 to move.

[0075] The button assembly 80 includes, but is not limited to, a push-button or a toggle button. In an embodiment where the button assembly 80 is a push-button, when the user presses the button assembly, the button assembly 80 sends a target signal to the control unit 60. In an embodiment where the button assembly 80 is a toggle button, when the user toggles the button assembly, the button assembly 80 sends a target signal to the control unit 60.

[0076] In one possible embodiment, the button assembly 80 may include a pressable first button, which may be disposed on the first housing 101. The pressing part of the first button and the pressing parts of the volume button and the power button of the foldable electronic device 1000 may be arranged sequentially and alternately on the first housing 101. In another possible embodiment, the button assembly 80 may include a second button and a third button. The second button may be disposed on the first housing 101, and the third button may be disposed on the second housing 102. The second button may be a press-type button or a toggle button, and the third button may be a press-type button or a toggle button. In the embodiment where the second button is a press-type button, the pressing portion of the second button may protrude from the outer surface of the first housing 101. In the embodiment where the second button is a toggle button, the toggle portion of the second button may protrude from the outer surface of the first housing 101. In the embodiment where the third button is a press-type button, the pressing portion of the third button may protrude from the outer surface of the second housing 102. In the embodiment where the third button is a toggle button, the toggle portion of the third button may protrude from the outer surface of the second housing 102.

[0077] Specifically, when the control unit 60 receives the target signal sent by the button assembly 80, it controls the first driving member 501 to drive the first magnetic shielding member 401 from its initial position to the side of the first magnetic member 301 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covering the position of the first magnetic member 301; it controls the second driving member 502 to drive the second magnetic shielding member 402 from its initial position to the side of the second magnetic member 302 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covering the position of the second magnetic member 302; it controls the third driving member 503 to drive the third magnetic shielding member 403 from its initial position to the side of the third magnetic member 303 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covering the position of the third magnetic member 303; and it controls the fourth driving member 504 to drive the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 from its initial position to the side of the fourth magnetic member 304 facing the flexible display screen 200 and covering the position of the fourth magnetic member 304. In this embodiment, the initial position of the first magnetic shielding component 401 is the same as the initial position of the first magnetic shielding component 401 in the above embodiment, the initial position of the second magnetic shielding component 402 is the same as the initial position of the second magnetic shielding component 402 in the above embodiment, the initial position of the third magnetic shielding component 403 is the same as the initial position of the third magnetic shielding component 403 in the above embodiment, and the initial position of the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 is the same as the initial position of the fourth magnetic shielding component 404 in the above embodiment.

[0078] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state, the first magnetic shielding member 401 is arranged side by side with the first magnetic member 301 and is located on the side of the first magnetic member 301 facing the rotating shaft mechanism 20; the second magnetic shielding member 402 is arranged side by side with the second magnetic member 302 and is located on the side of the second magnetic member 302 facing the rotating shaft mechanism 20; the third magnetic shielding member 403 is arranged side by side with the third magnetic member 303 and is located on the side of the third magnetic member 303 facing the rotating shaft mechanism 20; and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 is arranged side by side with the fourth magnetic member 304 and is located on the side of the fourth magnetic member 304 facing the rotating shaft mechanism 20.

[0079] Understandably, when the foldable housing device 100 is in the folded state, the first magnetic shielding member 401 is closer to the rotating shaft mechanism 20 than the first magnetic member 301, the second magnetic shielding member 402 is closer to the rotating shaft mechanism 20 than the second magnetic member 302, the third magnetic shielding member 403 is closer to the rotating shaft mechanism 20 than the third magnetic member 303, and the fourth magnetic shielding member 404 is closer to the rotating shaft mechanism 20 than the fourth magnetic member 304.

[0080] This embodiment is advantageous because the first magnetic component 301 is positioned near the edge of the first housing 101 away from the second housing 102, the second magnetic component 302 is positioned near the edge of the first housing 101 away from the second housing 102, the third magnetic component 303 is positioned near the edge of the second housing 102 away from the first housing 101, and the fourth magnetic component 304 is positioned near the edge of the second housing 102 away from the first housing 101, thereby improving the effect of the magnetic components.
