Description

Technical Field

[0001] A lightweight structure integrating a screen, mounting plate, and battery in a double-folding and triple-folding configuration relates to the field of electronic display terminal equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing tri-fold screens have an inward fold and an outward fold structure, unfolding in a "Z" shape. However, the outward fold of the screen is exposed and easily damaged by wear and collisions. There is also the risk of unpredictable damage caused by violating conventional operating habits or folding backwards. In addition, the three folds are also quite thick and heavy.

[0003] Purpose of the invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a lightweight structure for a three-fold screen with a bidirectional inward folding design and an ultra-thin battery mounting plate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model consists of a first folding carrier 1, a second folding carrier 2, a first hinge 3, a second hinge 4, a foldable screen 5, and a three-fold configuration. The first hinge 3 connects to the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2, guiding the foldable screen 5 to fold at angles from 0 to 180 degrees. When the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 are both at 0 degrees and on the same horizontal plane, the foldable screen 5 is also in a horizontal unfolded state. When both the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 are folded inwards at 90-degree angles towards the foldable screen 5, they are parallel and overlapping, and the foldable screen 5 also overlaps and becomes parallel. The second hinge 4 is located on the other side of the second folding carrier 2, which is connected to the first hinge 3, and is fixed to this side of the second folding carrier 2. The other end of the second hinge 4 is hinged to the third folding carrier, specifically to a specially designed inner screen plate 6, thus forming a hinged connection between the second folding carrier 2 and the inner screen plate 6. The inner panel 6 is fitted to a section of the foldable screen 5 that extends from the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2, and its size is matched. The inner panel 6 is made of highly rigid metal or plastic material, with high molding hardness and precision, and a thickness of about 1.2 mm. The thickness of the foldable screen 5 is about 0.5 mm, and the total thickness of the inner panel 6 is between 1.5 and 1.8 mm. The unequal thickness function of the snap-fit ​​is achieved, and the difference depends on the width and thickness of the first hinge 3 between the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2, and the second hinge 4 between the second folding carrier 2 and the inner panel 6. The thickness of hinge 3 when laid flat is slightly thicker, and the middle area, i.e., the space for screen bending, is wider than the left and right wings. Hinge 4 is relatively thinner and narrower. Therefore, the opening 7 of hinge 1 is 1.5-1.8 mm wider than the opening 8 of hinge 2. The gap between the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 after folding is correspondingly 1.5-1.8 mm, which is sufficient to accommodate the foldable screen 5 and the inner screen clip 6 together. The inner screen clip 6 has a raised hinge cover 9 close to hinge 4. When the first folding carrier 1 is folded in, its front end abuts the edge of the hinge cover 9 and is aligned with it. The thickness of the first folding carrier 1 is level with the height of the raised top of the hinge cover 9; at the same time, the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 overlap vertically, and the inner screen clip 6 is sandwiched between them. The first folding carrier 1 covers the inner screen clip 6. When folded three times, it is as thin and light as a smartphone; when unfolded three times, it becomes a large tablet screen. A rectangular recessed groove 10 with a base is cut into the inner panel 6 of the screen. A border of approximately 3 mm is left between the recessed groove 10 and the four sides of the inner panel 6. The recessed groove 10 is centered. The depth of the recessed groove 10 is approximately 1 mm. An ultra-thin sheet-like lithium battery 11 is installed. Its shape and size are proportionate to the length and width of the recessed groove 10, and its thickness is approximately 1 mm, which is equivalent to the depth of the recessed groove 10.An ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 can be placed in the recess 10 of the snap-on plate. A battery flange terminal 12 is formed at one corner of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11. It protrudes from the long rectangular end of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 towards the second hinge 2. The battery flange terminal 12 connects to the internal cell circuit and is exposed. On one corner of the panel of the snap-on plate 6 near the second hinge 4 of the snap-on plate recess 10 inside the screen, a terminal mounting groove 13 larger than the area of ​​the battery flange terminal 12 is extended. The battery flange terminal 12 can be placed in it. At the same time, a battery recessed terminal 14 is formed. Both can be placed in the terminal mounting groove 13. The battery flange terminal 12 and the battery recessed terminal 14 are matched with each other. The battery recessed terminal 14 is internally connected to an FPC thin flexible flat cable 15. The line segment after its lead-out is close to the space under the foldable screen 5, crosses the second hinge 4 and then leads to the circuit inside the second folding carrier 2 to realize its cross-connection power supply. A cover plate 16 is provided. It covers the entire surface of the cover plate 6 inside the screen, and also covers the exposed surface of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 lying in the recess 10 of the cover plate.

[0006] This utility model features a three-fold, bi-directional inward folding structure that integrates the screen, mounting plate, and battery into one unit, making it lightweight, portable, safe, durable, and reducing battery anxiety. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Example: This example consists of a first folding carrier 1, a second folding carrier 2, a first hinge 3, a second hinge 4, a foldable screen 5, and a three-fold configuration. The first hinge 3 connects to the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2, guiding the foldable screen 5 to fold at angles from 0 to 180 degrees. When the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 are both at 0 degrees and on the same horizontal plane, the foldable screen 5 is also unfolded horizontally. When both the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 are folded inwards at 90-degree angles towards the foldable screen 5, they are parallel and overlapping, and the foldable screen 5 also overlaps and becomes parallel. This functionality depends on the support and torsion of the first hinge 3. The second hinge 4 is located on the other side of the second folding carrier 2, which is connected to the first hinge 3, and is fixed to this side of the second folding carrier 2. The other end of the second hinge 4 is hinged to the third folding carrier, specifically to a specially designed inner screen clip 6, thus forming a hinged connection between the second folding carrier 2 and the inner screen clip 6. The inner side of the inner screen clip 6 fits along a section of the foldable screen 5 that extends from the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2, and its size is matched to the inner side. The inner screen clip 6 is made of highly rigid metal or plastic material, with high forming hardness, high precision, and a thickness of approximately 1.2 mm. The foldable screen 5 is approximately 0.5 mm thick, and the total thickness including the inner screen clip 6 is between 1.5 and 1.8 mm. This thinness is designed to allow it to be inserted into the gap between the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 within the folded foldable screen 5, achieving a lightweight and secure bidirectional inward folding effect. The difference in thickness that enables the snap-fit ​​function depends on the width and thickness of the first hinge 3 between the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2, and the second hinge 4 between the second folding carrier 2 and the inner screen snap-fit ​​plate 6. Specifically, the first hinge 3 is slightly thicker when laid flat, and its central area (the space for screen bending) is wider from the left and right wings. The second hinge 4 is relatively thinner and narrower, with their thickness differences measured in millimeters. The relative thickness of each folding carrier when unfolded horizontally depends mainly on the hinge thickness, while the relative thickness when the two folding carriers are closed and overlapped depends mainly on the hinge width. Therefore, the opening 7 of the first hinge wing is 1.5-1.8 millimeters wider than the opening 8 of the second hinge wing. The corresponding gap between the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 after folding is 1.5-1.8 millimeters, which is sufficient to accommodate the foldable screen 5 and the inner screen snap-fit ​​plate 6 together. The inner screen snap-fit ​​plate 6 has a raised hinge cover 9 close to the second hinge 4. When the first folding carrier 1 is folded in, its front end abuts the edge of the hinge cover 9 and aligns with it. The thickness of the first folding carrier 1 is level with the height of the raised top of the hinge cover 9; at the same time, the first folding carrier 1 and the second folding carrier 2 overlap vertically, and the screen inner panel 6 is sandwiched between them. The first folding carrier 1 covers the top of the screen inner panel 6.On the one hand, there is redundant space, and on the other hand, the manufacturing process includes screen bezel protection measures to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing damage to the foldable screen 5. After three folds, it is as thin and light as a mobile phone; after three folds unfold, it becomes a large tablet screen. A rectangular recess 10 with a bottom is formed within the inner panel 6 of the screen. A border of about 3 mm is left between the recess 10 and the four sides of the inner panel 6. The recess 10 is centered. The depth of the recess 10 is about 1 mm, leaving a thin bottom so as not to penetrate the inner panel 6. An ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 is made. Its shape and size are commensurate with the length and width of the recess 10, and its thickness is about 1 mm, which is equivalent to the depth of the recess 10. The ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 can be placed in the recess 10. A battery flange terminal 12 is made at one corner of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11. The long rectangular end of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 protrudes towards the second hinge 2, and the battery flange terminal 12 connects to the internal cell circuit and is exposed. On a corner of the panel of the inner snap plate 6 near the snap plate groove 10 on the side of the second hinge 4, a terminal mounting groove 13 larger than the area of ​​the battery flange terminal 12 is extended. The battery flange terminal 12 can be placed in it. A battery recessed terminal 14 is also made. Both can be placed in the terminal mounting groove 13. The battery flange terminal 12 and the battery recessed terminal 14 are matched. The battery flange terminal 12 is inserted into the battery recessed terminal 14 and connected to the internal circuit of the cell. An FPC thin flexible flat cable 15 is connected inside the battery recessed terminal 14. The extended segment of the cable runs close to the space under the foldable screen 5, crosses the second hinge 4, and connects to the circuit inside the second folding carrier 2, achieving its cross-connection power supply. A snap plate cover 16 is also made. The entire surface of the inner panel 6 is covered, simultaneously pressing down on the exposed surface of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 nestled within the inner panel recess 10. A sealing film 17 is applied under the inner panel 6, covering the entire surface of the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 within the inner panel recess 10, to create a smooth appearance and ensure the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 is securely positioned within the inner panel recess 10. A bottom sealing film 18 is applied at the bottom of the inner panel recess 10, directly beneath the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11. This combined top and bottom treatment ensures the ultra-thin sheet lithium battery 11 remains securely within the inner panel recess 10, preventing displacement or friction, and also enhances the rigidity of the three-in-one structure supported by the inner panel 6.

Claims

1. A lightweight structure integrating a screen, buckle, and battery in a double-inward-folding and triple-folding configuration, comprising a first folding carrier (1), a second folding carrier (2), a first hinge (3), a second hinge (4), a foldable screen (5), and a triple-folding configuration. The first hinge (3) is responsible for connecting with the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2), and guides the foldable screen (5) on it to bend and fold at an angle of 0-180 degrees. When the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2) are at the same 0-degree angle and on the same horizontal plane, the foldable screen (5) on it is also in a horizontal unfolded state. When the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2) are both folded inward towards the foldable screen (5) at a 90-degree angle, the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2) are in a parallel and overlapping state, and the foldable screen (5) is also overlapped and in a parallel state. The realization of this function depends on the support and torsion of the first hinge (3). Its features are, The second hinge (4) is located on the other side of the second folding carrier (2) that connects to the first hinge (3), and is fixed to this side of the second folding carrier (2); the other end of the second hinge (4) is hinged to the third folding carrier, that is, hinged to a specially made screen inner plate (6), thereby forming a hinged connection between the second folding carrier (2) and the screen inner plate (6); the inside of the screen inner plate (6) is attached to a section of the foldable screen (5) that extends along the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2), and matches its area size. The screen inner plate (6) is made of highly rigid metal or plastic material, with high forming hardness, high precision, and a thickness of about 1.2 mm; The thickness of the folding screen (5) is about 0.5 mm, and the total thickness including the inner screen plate (6) is between 1.5 and 1.8 mm. The reason for making it so thin is to allow it to be snapped into the gap between the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2) in the folded foldable screen (5), thereby achieving a thin and safe bidirectional inward folding effect. The difference in thickness for the snapping function depends on the width and thickness of the first hinge (3) between the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2), and the second hinge (4) between the second folding carrier (2) and the inner screen plate (6). That is, the thickness of the first hinge (3) when laid flat is slightly thicker, and the thickness of the middle area is slightly thicker. The folding space of the screen is slightly wider from the left and right wings, while the second hinge (4) is relatively thinner and narrower. Their width and thickness are measured in millimeters. The relative thickness of each folding carrier when it is unfolded in a horizontal state mainly depends on the thickness of the hinge. The relative thickness of the two folding carriers when they are closed and overlapped mainly depends on the width of the hinge. Therefore, the opening (7) of the first hinge wing is 1.5-1.8 mm wider than the opening (8) of the second hinge wing. The gap between the first folding carrier (1) and the second folding carrier (2) after folding is 1.5-1.8 mm, which is enough to accommodate the foldable screen (5) and the inner screen clip (6) together. The inner screen clip (6) is close to the second hinge (4) and has a... The raised hinge cover (9) is aligned with the edge of the hinge cover (9) after the first fold carrier (1) is folded in.

At the same time, the first fold carrier (1) and the second fold carrier (2) overlap vertically, and the screen inner plate (6) is sandwiched between them. The first fold carrier (1) covers the top of the screen inner plate (6), providing redundant space and protecting the screen frame in the manufacturing process, so that they do not rub against each other and cause damage to the foldable screen (5). After three folds, it is as thin and light as a mobile phone. When unfolded, it becomes a large tablet screen.
