[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0036] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0037] To address the problem of existing laptops having an integrated hinge assembly on the keyboard and a fixed hinge on the screen, with each end of the hinge rotatably connected to two hinge assemblies, thus enabling the laptop screen and keyboard to rotate, this design, where the hinge assemblies and keyboard are integrated, is prone to damage during disassembly, hindering repair and replacement. This application provides an electronic device with a rotating structure. By detaching the first rotating component 3 and the second rotating component 4 from the first electronic component 1 and the second electronic component 2, the traditional integrated structure between the assemblies and the casing is changed, making repair and replacement of the first rotating component 3 and the second rotating component 4 more convenient and preventing damage to components during disassembly.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 8 An electronic device with a rotating structure provided in this application includes: a first electronic component 1, a second electronic component 2, a first rotating member 3, and a second rotating member 4. The first rotating member 3 includes a first mounting portion 31 and a first rotating portion 32, and the first mounting portion 31 is detachably connected to the first electronic component 1. The second rotating member 4 includes a second mounting portion 41 and a second rotating portion 42, and the second mounting portion 41 is detachably connected to the second electronic component 2. The first rotating portion 32 and the second rotating portion 42 are rotatably connected.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electronic device is a laptop computer. The first electronic component 1 includes a display component 14, and the second electronic component 2 includes a keyboard component 21. Specifically, the display component 14 is the laptop computer's display screen, and the keyboard component 21 is the laptop computer's keyboard. The display component 14 and the keyboard component 21 should have a wired or communicative connection. Specifically, the rotating structure is a structure that provides a rotating joint between the laptop computer's display screen and keyboard. The first rotating part 32 and the second rotating part 42 in this application belong to the rotating structure of this embodiment. It should be explained that in other embodiments, the electronic device can also be a flip phone, with the display component 14 being the flip phone's screen and the keyboard component 21 being the flip phone's keyboard.

[0040] It is understood that this application, by employing a detachable connection method, connects the first rotating component 3 and the second rotating component 4 to the first electronic component 1 and the second electronic component 2 respectively, so that the connection between the shaft and the outer casing is no longer a tight fit. This design reduces the stringent requirements for the dimensional accuracy of components, reduces production costs and assembly difficulty; at the same time, due to the detachable connection method, it is more convenient to repair and replace components, and will not cause damage to components due to disassembly. Specifically, taking a laptop computer as an example of the electronic device in this embodiment, when it is necessary to open or close the laptop computer, the user can do so by rotating the display screen. The rotating structure between the display screen and the keyboard (i.e., the first rotating component 3 and the second rotating component 4) allows the display screen to rotate freely within a certain angle range, thereby providing a good user experience; when it is necessary to repair or replace components, the user can easily remove the first rotating component 3 and the second rotating component 4 from the display screen and the keyboard without damaging any components.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1 are detachably connected by a first connector.

[0042] Specifically, the first connector has an external thread, and the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1 have corresponding connection holes. The first connector passes through the connection holes of the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1, and the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1 are stably connected through the internal thread structure within the connection hole of the first mounting part 31 or the first electronic component 1. In this embodiment, by providing an external thread on the first connector and corresponding connection holes on the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1, a stable connection is achieved using an internal thread structure. This threaded connection method ensures both the strength of the connection and ease of disassembly without damaging the components. During installation, the first connector is inserted into the connection hole of the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1. By rotating the first connector, its external thread engages with the internal thread structure within the connection hole, thereby achieving a stable connection between the first mounting part 31 and the first electronic component 1. During disassembly, simply rotating the first connector in the opposite direction allows for easy disassembly without damaging the components.

[0043] Please see Figures 3 to 6 Furthermore, the first electronic component 1 includes a first connector 11 and a second connector 12, and a first mounting part 31 is disposed between the first connector 11 and the second connector 12; the first mounting part 31 is detachably connected to the first connector 11 through a first connector, and the second connector 12 is detachably connected to the first connector 11 through a second connector.

[0044] Specifically, the second connector has external threads, and the second connector 12 and the first connector 11 have corresponding internally threaded connecting holes. The second connector passes through the corresponding internally threaded connecting holes of the second connector 12 and the first connector 11, fixing the first connector 11 and the second connector 12 together. The first mounting part 31 is embedded between the first connector 11 and the second connector 12. It should be explained that the first connector 11 and the second connector 12 are located on the side of the laptop's display screen corresponding to the keyboard. Specifically, the first connector 11 is connected to the laptop's display screen.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, two first rotating members 3 are provided, and the first mounting portions 31 of the two first rotating members 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the first connecting seat 11. Two second rotating members 4 are provided corresponding to the first rotating members 3. Thus, compared with the assembly of one long rotating shaft corresponding to two rotating shaft mating parts in the prior art, this embodiment eliminates the connection structure mass between the two first rotating members 3 by cooperating with two second rotating members 4, effectively reducing the mass of the overall structure, and achieving the purpose of lightweighting while ensuring the rotation effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first electronic component 1 further includes a protective film 13, which covers the outside of the first connector 11 and / or the second connector 12.

[0047] It is understood that by covering the outer side of the first connecting seat 11 and / or the second connecting seat 12 with a protective film 13, the first connecting seat 11 and / or the second connecting seat 12 can be effectively protected from the influence of the external environment, improving the overall performance of the equipment and providing additional protection and performance enhancement. Specifically, the protective film 13 can be a polyester film. By covering the surface of the first connecting seat 11 and / or the second connecting seat 12 with the polyester film, scratches and wear can be effectively prevented, and any holes or exposed second connectors on the first connecting seat 11 and / or the second connecting seat 12 can be covered.

[0048] Furthermore, the second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2 are detachably connected by a third connector.

[0049] Specifically, the third connector has an external thread, and the second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2 have corresponding connection holes. The third connector passes through the connection holes of the second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2. The second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2 are stably connected through the internal thread structure within the connection hole of the second mounting part 41 or the second electronic component 2. In this embodiment, by providing an external thread on the third connector and corresponding connection holes on the second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2, a stable connection is achieved using an internal thread structure. This threaded connection method ensures both the strength of the connection and ease of disassembly without damaging the components. During installation, the third connector is inserted into the connection hole of the second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2. By rotating the third connector, its external thread engages with the internal thread structure within the connection hole, thereby achieving a stable connection between the second mounting part 41 and the second electronic component 2. During disassembly, simply rotating the third connector in the opposite direction allows for easy disassembly without damaging the components.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first rotating part 32 is rotatably disposed through the second rotating part 42.

[0051] Specifically, the second rotating part 42 is provided with a through hole for the first rotating part 32 to pass through, and the inner wall of the through hole is smooth; the first rotating part 32 is provided with a rotating shaft for passing through the through hole of the first rotating part 32, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is smooth; the rotating shaft of the first rotating part 32 is rotatably inserted into the through hole of the second rotating part 42 to ensure the stability and smoothness of rotation.

[0052] In some embodiments, one end of the first rotating part 32 extends into the interior of the first electronic component 1 and is detachably connected to the first electronic component 1, while the other end of the first rotating part 32 extends out of the exterior of the first electronic component 1 and is rotatably connected to the second rotating part 42.

[0053] Furthermore, the second rotating part 42 is located inside the second electronic component 2.

[0054] In this embodiment, by incorporating the first mounting part 31, the second mounting part 41, and the second rotating part 42, the number of exposed parts is reduced, the overall aesthetics of the device are improved, making its appearance more concise and refined, and the influence of the external environment on the rotating parts, such as dust and moisture, is reduced, thereby improving the stability and reliability of rotation.
