[0001] Priority information
[0002] This application claims priority and benefits to patent application No. 2024107895001, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on June 18, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more specifically, to a display device, in-vehicle equipment, and vehicle. Background Technology
[0004] Currently, displays are widely used in car center consoles for navigation, entertainment, and other functions. In-vehicle displays typically fall into two categories: flat displays and curved displays, allowing users to choose the type that best suits their needs. However, the curvature radius of both flat and curved displays currently used in vehicles cannot be changed, limiting their application scenarios and resulting in less comfortable user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Currently, displays are widely used in automotive center consoles for navigation, entertainment, and other functions. In-vehicle displays typically include two types: flat displays and curved displays, allowing users to choose the type that best suits their needs. However, the curvature radius of flat and curved displays currently used in vehicles cannot be changed, limiting their application scenarios and resulting in poor user comfort. To address this issue, this application provides a display device 100 (shown in FIG. 1), an in-vehicle device 1000 (shown in FIG. 17), and a vehicle 10000 (shown in FIG. 17).
[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The display device 100 of this embodiment includes a base assembly 10, a display component 30, and a pushing mechanism 50. The display component 30 is mounted on the base assembly 10 and is used to display image information. The pushing mechanism 50 is mounted on the base assembly 10 and connected to the display component 30. The pushing mechanism 50 is used to drive the display component 30 to deform, thereby changing the radius of curvature of the display component 30.
[0057] Referring to Figures 3 to 5, specifically, the display device 100 of this application is applied to a vehicle 10000 (as shown in Figure 17). The display device 100 can be used for multimedia display on the center console, instrument display, and armrest display of the vehicle 10000. By inputting commands to the display device 100, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 can be changed to adapt to the user's needs in different scenarios. For example, the user can send signals to the display device 100 through voice control, gesture control, touch button control, screen touch control, or other switches, so that the pushing mechanism 50 of the display device 100 can drive the display component 30 to deform, so that the display component 30 is in a planar state (as shown in Figure 4), a concave state (as shown in Figure 3), or a convex state (as shown in Figure 5) relative to the base component 10. By changing the radius of curvature of the display component 30, the technological feel of the vehicle 10000 can be enhanced, the user's sensory comfort can be improved, and the user experience can be better.
[0058] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the base assembly 10 includes a base 11 with a receiving cavity 111 for mounting the pushing mechanism 50. The display assembly 30 is located outside the base 11 and opposite to a side wall 113 of the base 11. A gap exists between the side wall 113 and the display assembly 30 to provide space for deformation of the display assembly 30. Specifically, the outer surface of the side wall 113 is an arcuate surface recessed towards the receiving cavity 111. Thus, when the display assembly 30 is recessed relative to the base 11, the display assembly 30 has space for deformation.
[0059] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, the display component 30 can be used to display navigation information, multimedia entertainment, and vehicle information (e.g., vehicle speed, fuel level, and coolant temperature). The display component 30 can be a flexible display assembly, allowing it to change its radius of curvature through deformation. When the display component 30 is planar, all positions of the display component 30 are equidistant from the center of the receiving cavity 111. In this case, the display component 30 is suitable for displaying navigation and traffic information. When the display component 30 is concave relative to the base assembly 10, the center of the display component 30 is closer to the center of the receiving cavity 111 than the sides. In this case, the display component 30 effectively reduces screen glare, improving screen clarity and readability, resulting in a better user experience. When the display component 30 is convex relative to the base assembly 10, the center of the display component 30 is farther from the center of the receiving cavity 111 than the sides. In this case, the display component 30 expands the user's field of view, making it easier for the user to view vehicle information. Meanwhile, with the display component 30 protruding outwards, it can highlight important information (such as vehicle speed and fuel level), improving user readability and reducing the risk of distraction while driving. The display component 30 can adjust its radius of curvature according to different user visual preferences and needs in different scenarios, thus improving the user's visual experience.
[0060] Referring to Figure 6, the display component 30 includes a flexible screen 36, a cover plate 37, a back plate 38, and a housing 39, which are stacked sequentially. The cover plate 37 protects the display surface 31 of the flexible screen 36 and can be made of glass or other highly transparent materials. The flexible screen 36 displays image information and can deform under external force. The back plate 38 supports the back surface 33 of the flexible screen 36 and can be made of a flexible material, allowing it to deform along with the flexible screen 36. The housing 39 provides support and protection for the back plate 38 and the flexible screen 36. The housing 39 can be made of a deformable material, including but not limited to silicone, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), and polyurethane (PU).
[0061] Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, the display component 30 includes a display surface 31 for displaying image information and a back surface 33 opposite to the display surface 31. The back surface 33 is connected to a pushing mechanism 50. During movement relative to the base 11, the pushing mechanism 50 can deform the back surface 33 of the display component 30, thereby allowing the display component 30 to deform and change its radius of curvature. When the display component 30 is planar, its radius of curvature can be infinite. When the display component 30 is concave or convex relative to the base 11, its radius of curvature is smaller, and the user can adjust the display component 30 to a suitable radius of curvature according to their needs. When the pushing mechanism 50 causes the display component 30 to deform so that it is concave or convex relative to the base 11, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 can be in the range of (0mm, 800mm). After the display device 100 receives the command, the pushing mechanism 50 is activated to deform the display component 30 to the target state. The pushing mechanism 50 of this application has a simple structure, high motion reliability, and enables the display component 30 to achieve continuous adjustment of the radius of curvature, resulting in a better user operation and experience.
[0062] In the display device 100 of this embodiment, a pushing mechanism 50 is mounted on the base assembly 10 and connected to the display assembly 30. The pushing mechanism 50 is used to drive the display assembly 30 to deform, thereby changing the radius of curvature of the display assembly 30. The user can change the radius of curvature of the display assembly 30 according to their needs, so that the display assembly 30 can be in a planar state, a concave state, or a convex state relative to the base assembly 10. The display assembly 30 can change its radius of curvature according to different scenarios, and the display assembly 30 can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, resulting in better sensory comfort and user experience.
[0063] The display device 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0064] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the actuating mechanism 50 includes an electronic control component 51, a transmission component 53, and a support component 55. The electronic control component 51 is mounted within the base assembly 10. The transmission component 53 is mounted within the base assembly 10. The support component 55 is mounted within the base assembly 10 and is connected to both the electronic control component 51 and the transmission component 53. The electronic control component 51 is used to drive the movement of a portion of the structure within the support component 55 and to drive the transmission component 53 to move another portion of the structure within the support component 55.
[0065] At least a portion of the electronic control component 51, the transmission component 53, and the support component 55 are housed in the receiving cavity 111. When the display device 100 receives a control command from the user (e.g., to change the display component 30 from a planar state to a recessed state), the electronic control component 51 is activated, and at least a portion of the electronic control component 51 can move relative to the base 11 along a first direction X (the first direction X is the thickness direction of the display component 30). This allows the electronic control component 51 to drive a portion of the support component 55 connected to it to move along the first direction X. This portion of the support component 55 is also connected to the transmission component 53, so that when this portion of the support component 55 moves, the support component 55 can drive the transmission component 53 to move along the first direction X. Since the transmission component 53 is connected to another portion of the support component 55, when the transmission component 53 moves along the first direction X, the transmission component 53 can drive the movement of the other portion of the support component 55, thus enabling the entire structure of the support component 55 to move relative to the base 11.
[0066] With a portion of the structure in the electronic control component 51 and the support component 55 fixedly connected, and this portion of the support component 55 fixedly connected to the transmission component 53, and the transmission component 53 connected to another portion of the support component 55, on the one hand, the electronic control component 51 can drive the entire structure of the support component 55 to move relative to the base 11 through the transmission component 53; on the other hand, the connection between the electronic control component 51, the transmission component 53, and the support component 55 is relatively stable, so the driving force transmitted from the electronic control component 51 to the support component 55 and from the electronic control component 51 to the support component 55 through the transmission component 53 is relatively stable, and the electronic control component 51 can effectively drive the support component 55 to move relative to the base 11 when it is working.
[0067] The support component 55 is also connected to the back surface 33 of the display component 30. When the support component 55 moves, it can cause the display component 30 to deform, thereby changing the radius of curvature of the display component 30. For example, the support component 55 can cause the display component 30 to change from a planar state to a concave state, or from a planar state to a convex state, or from a concave state to a planar state, or from a concave state to a convex state, etc. The support component 55 can also cause the display component 30 to deform, thereby changing the curvature of the display component 30 in the convex state. For example, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 in the convex state can change from 200mm to 400mm. The support component 55 can also change the curvature of the display component 30 in the concave state. For example, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 in the concave state can change from 300mm to 500mm, etc.
[0068] Furthermore, since the display component 30 is a flexible and deformable structure, when the support component 55 is connected to the back surface 33 of the display component 30, the support component 55 can provide a certain degree of support for the display component 30, so that the display component 30 is not prone to warping or deformation beyond control, the structural stability of the display component 30 is good, and the user's viewing experience is also good.
[0069] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, specifically, in some embodiments, the electronic control assembly 51 includes a drive member 511 and a linkage member 513. The drive member 511 includes a stator 5111 and a mover 5113 extending protruding from the stator 5111, the mover 5113 being movable relative to the stator 5111 along a first direction X. The linkage member 513 is connected to the mover 5113 and follows the mover 5113 in moving along the first direction X.
[0070] The driving member 511 is a structure that moves relative to the base 11 in the first direction X with the driving linkage member 513. The linkage member 513 is fixedly connected to a part of the support assembly 55. The linkage member 513 is used to transmit the driving force of the driving member 511 to a part of the support assembly 55, so that the linkage member 513 can drive a part of the support assembly 55 to move relative to the base 11 in the first direction X.
[0071] The stator 5111 is fixedly connected to the base 11, and the mover 5113 is connected to the linkage 513, which is partially connected to the support assembly 55. When the drive unit 511 is activated, the mover 5113 can move relative to the stator 5111 along a first direction X. Specifically, the mover 5113 can move relative to the stator 5111 in the positive direction of the first direction X, which is the direction from the display surface 31 to the back surface 33 of the display assembly 30. The mover 5113 can also move the stator 5111 in the opposite direction of the first direction X, which is the direction from the back surface 33 to the display surface 31 of the display assembly 30.
[0072] When the mover 5113 moves relative to the stator 5111 in the positive direction of the first direction X, the mover 5113 can drive the linkage 513 to move in the positive direction of the first direction X. The linkage 513 can drive a part of the support assembly 55 to move in the positive direction of the first direction X. This part of the support assembly 55 can drive the transmission assembly 53 to move in the positive direction of the first direction X. The transmission assembly 53 can then drive another part of the support assembly 55 to move. At this time, the support assembly 55 can drive the display assembly 30 to change from a planar state to a concave state, or from a convex state to a planar state, or from a convex state to a concave state. When the display assembly 30 is already in a concave state, the support assembly 55 can also drive the display assembly 30 to continue to be concave relative to the base 11, so that the radius of curvature of the display assembly 30 becomes smaller.
[0073] When the mover 5113 moves in the opposite direction relative to the stator 5111 along the first direction X, the mover 5113 can drive the linkage 513 to move in the opposite direction along the first direction X. The linkage 513 can drive a part of the support assembly 55 to move in the opposite direction along the first direction X. This part of the support assembly 55 can drive the transmission assembly 53 to move in the opposite direction along the first direction X. The transmission assembly 53 can then drive another part of the support assembly 55 to move. At this time, the support assembly 55 can drive the display assembly 30 to change from a planar state to a convex state, or from a concave state to a planar state, or from a concave state to a convex state. When the display assembly 30 is already in the convex state, the support assembly 55 can also drive the display assembly 30 to continue to convex relative to the base 11, so that the radius of curvature of the display assembly 30 becomes smaller.
[0074] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 8, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 53 includes a pusher 531 and multiple connectors 533. The pusher 531 is connected to the support assembly 55 via the connectors 533. The connectors 533 connect the pusher 531 and the support assembly 55 to ensure a more stable connection. The pusher 531 pushes the support assembly 55 to move, enabling the support assembly 55 to deform the display assembly 30. Preferably, the pusher 531 and the support assembly 55 are detachably connected, facilitating maintenance and replacement of the pusher 531 and / or the support assembly 55.
[0075] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11. In some embodiments, the support assembly 55 includes a first support assembly 551 and two second support assemblies 553. The first support assembly 551 is connected to the middle position of the back surface 33. The first support assembly 551 is connected to both the electronic control assembly 51 and the transmission assembly 53. The electronic control assembly 51 drives the first support assembly 551 to move along the first direction X, thereby causing the first connection point 331 between the first support assembly 551 and the display assembly 30 to move along the first direction X. The two second support assemblies 553 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the back surface 33. The second support assemblies 553 are connected to the transmission assembly 53. The electronic control assembly 51 drives the transmission assembly 53 to move. The transmission assembly 53 causes the second support assemblies 553 to move along the second direction Y, thereby causing the second connection point 332 between the second support assembly 553 and the display assembly 30 to move along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. In the embodiments of this application, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.
[0076] Specifically, the first support component 551 is fixedly connected to the linkage 513 of the electronic control component 51. In this application, the first support component 551 and the electronic control component 51 are connected by screws to ensure a more stable connection between the first support component 551 and the linkage 513. When the linkage 513 moves relative to the base 11 along the first direction X, the linkage 513 can drive the first support component 551 and the first connection point 331 of the display component 30 to move along the first direction X. Multiple connectors 533 include a first connector 5331 and a second connector 5333. The first support component 551 and the pusher 531 of the transmission component 53 are fixedly connected through the first connector 5331. In this application, the first connector 5331 is a screw, which allows the pusher 531 to be securely connected to the first support component 551. When the first support component 551 drives the first connection point 331 of the display component 30 to move along the first direction X, the first support component 551 can also drive the pusher 531 to move along the first direction X. The pusher 531 is movably connected to the second support assembly 553 via the second connector 5333. When the pusher 531 moves along the first direction X, it can drive the second support assembly 553 to move along the second direction Y, thereby the second support assembly 553 can drive the second connection 332 of the display assembly 30 to move along the second direction Y. When the first support assembly 551 drives the first connection 331 of the display assembly 30 to move along the first direction X, and the second support assembly 553 drives the second connection 332 of the display assembly 30 to move along the second direction Y, the display assembly 30 can deform to change its radius of curvature.
[0077] When the display component 30 is in a planar or recessed state, and needs to switch to a convex state, when the driving member 511 drives the linkage member 513 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X, the first support component 551 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The first support component 551 drives the first connection 331 of the display component 30 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The pushing member 531 also moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X, and the pushing member 531 can drive the second support component 553 to move in the second direction Y and toward the center of the display component 30. Thus, the first support component 551 and the two second support components 553 can drive the display component 30 to form an arc surface that is convex relative to the base 11 (three points not on a straight line can determine an arc). When the display component 30 is in a planar or convex state, and needs to switch to a concave state, the first support component 551 moves in the positive direction of the first direction X as the driving component 511 drives the linkage component 513 to move in the positive direction. The first support component 551 drives the first connection 331 of the display component 30 to move in the positive direction. The pushing component 531 also moves in the positive direction of the first direction X, and the pushing component 531 can drive the second support component 553 to move in the second direction Y and away from the center of the display component 30. Thus, the first support component 551 and the two second support components 553 can drive the display component 30 to form an arc surface that is concave relative to the base 11 (three points not on a straight line can determine an arc).
[0078] Preferably, the two second support components 553 are symmetrical relative to the first support component 551, so that the two second connection points 332 of the display component 30 are symmetrical relative to the first connection point 331. After the first connection point 331 and the second connection point 332 of the display component 30 move relative to the base 11, the curved surface of the display component 30 can approach a circular arc surface. When the curved surface of the display component 30 approaches a circular arc surface, the display component 30 is more in line with the natural field of vision of the human eye, thus providing a wider and more realistic visual effect and a better user experience.
[0079] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 12 and 13. Further, in some embodiments, the support assembly also includes two third support assemblies 555. Both third support assemblies 555 are connected to the back surface 33 and are respectively located between the first support assembly 551 and the second support assembly 553. The third support assembly 555 is connected to the pusher 531 of the transmission assembly 53. The electronic control assembly 51 is used to drive the transmission assembly 53 to move. The transmission assembly 53 drives the third support assembly 555 to move along a curve, so as to drive the third connection 333 of the third support assembly 555 and the display assembly 30 to move in a curve.
[0080] When the pusher 531 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X, the third support assembly 555 moves along a curve away from the side wall 113 of the base 11 (in the opposite direction of the curve), thereby causing the third connection 333 of the display assembly 30 to move along a curve away from the side wall 113 of the base 11 (in the opposite direction of the curve). When the pusher 531 moves in the forward direction of the first direction X, the third support assembly 555 moves along a curve towards the side wall 113 of the base 11 (in the forward direction of the curve), thereby causing the third connection 333 of the display assembly 30 to move along a curve towards the side wall 113 of the base 11.
[0081] Since the display component 30 is assembled from multiple parts, its overall rigidity is affected by manufacturing precision and cannot be completely uniform. This results in the display component 30 undergoing uneven deformation, failing to form a true arc surface and accurately achieving its curvature. When the support assembly also includes a third support component 555, the third support component 555 can drive the third connection point 333 of the display component 30 to move along a curve. Therefore, when the first support component 551, second support component 553, and third support component 555 cause the display component 30 to deform, the arc surface of the display component 30 can more closely resemble a circular arc surface. This makes the display component 30 more consistent with the natural field of vision of the human eye, providing a wider and more realistic visual effect and a better user experience. Furthermore, the third support component 555 also provides better support for the display component 30, offering better support when the display surface 31 of the display component 30 is touched, resulting in a more stable structure and a better user operating feel.
[0082] Preferably, the two third support components 555 of this application are symmetrical relative to the first support component 551, with one third support component 555 located between a second support component 553 and the first support component 551, and the other third support component 555 located between another second support component 553 and the first support component 551. Thus, after the two third connections 333 of the display component 30 move relative to the base 11, the curved surface of the display component 30 can more closely approximate a circular arc surface. The number of third support components 555 can be determined according to the size of the display component 30. When the size of the display component 30 is large, the number of third support components 555 can be, but is not limited to, two, four, six, eight, or more. Multiple third support components 555 are symmetrically arranged relative to the first support component 551 and spaced apart. When there are multiple third support components 555, the third support components 555 provide better support for the display component 30, and when the display component 30 deforms, its curved surface can more closely approximate a circular arc surface, resulting in a better user experience.
[0083] The number of pushers 531 in this application is one. Each pusher 531 is connected to the first support component 551, the second support component 553, and the third support component 555. The pusher 531 enables the first support component 551, the second support component 553, and the third support component 555 to move synchronously, so that the arc surface formed after the display component 30 is deformed is close to the high roundness. This avoids the problem that the movement of the first support component 551, the second support component 553, and the third support component 555 is not synchronized due to inconsistent rigidity and manufacturing and assembly errors, and the problem that the arc surface of the display component 30 cannot approach the arc surface.
[0084] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, in some embodiments, when the connection between the second support component 553 and the transmission component 53 is in a preset standard position relative to the base 11, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 is greater than a preset threshold. As the first support component 551 moves forward along the first direction X, the second support component 553 moves away from the center of the display component 30 along the second direction Y, and the third support component 555 moves forward along the curve, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 gradually decreases. As the first support component 551 moves backward along the first direction X, the second support component 553 moves closer to the center of the display component 30 along the second direction Y, and the third support component 555 moves backward along the curve, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 gradually decreases.
[0085] The preset threshold is a critical value for the radius of curvature of the display component 30 when it changes from a planar state to a convex or concave state. When the radius of curvature of the display component 30 is greater than the preset threshold, the display component 30 is in a planar state. The radius of curvature of the display component 30 in the planar state can be infinite. When the radius of curvature of the display component 30 is less than the preset threshold, the display component 30 is in a convex or concave state. The radius of curvature of the display component 30 in the convex or concave state in this embodiment can range from 0 mm to 800 mm.
[0086] When the connection between the second support component 553 and the transmission component 53 is at a preset standard position relative to the base 11, the display component 30 is in a planar state. When the connection between the second support component 553 and the transmission component 53 is away from the preset position relative to the base 11, the display component 30 is in a convex or concave state. When the first support component 551 moves in the positive direction of the first direction X (e.g., moves 5-50 mm), the second support component 553 moves in the direction away from the center of the display component 30 along the second direction Y (e.g., moves 1-10 mm), and the third support component 555 moves in the positive direction of the curve, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 gradually decreases (below a preset threshold), and the display component 30 changes from a planar state to a concave state. During the process of the display component 30 changing from a planar state to a concave state, the first connection 331 of the display component 30 will rotate at a certain angle, the second connection 332 of the display component 30 will also rotate at a certain angle, and the third connection 333 of the display component 30 will also rotate at a certain angle. As the second connection 332 of the display component 30 rotates toward the center of the display component 30, the connection point between the back surface 33 of the display component 30 and the second support component 553 moves slightly away from the center of the display component 30. Therefore, as the display component 30 changes from a planar state to a concave state, the second support component 553 causes the second connection 332 to move away from the display component 30 along the second direction Y.
[0087] As the first support component 551 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X (e.g., 5-50 mm), the second support component 553 moves in the second direction Y towards the center of the display component 30 (e.g., 1-10 mm), and the third support component 555 moves in the opposite direction of the curve, the radius of curvature of the display component 30 gradually decreases (below a preset threshold). At this time, the display component 30 changes from a planar state to a convex state. During the rotation of the second connection point 332 of the display component 30 away from the center of the display component 30, the connection point between the back surface 33 of the display component 30 and the second support component 553 moves towards the center of the display component 30. Thus, during the process of the display component 30 changing from a planar state to a convex state, the second support component 553 drives the second connection point 332 to move in the second direction Y towards the center of the display component 30.
[0088] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 9. In some embodiments, the first support assembly 551 includes a first support member 5511 and a first connecting member 5519. The first support member 5511 is connected to the middle position of the back surface 33. The first connecting member 5519 is connected to the end of the first support member 5511 away from the display assembly 30, and is fixedly connected to the linkage member 513 of the electronic control assembly 51 and fixedly connected to the push member 531 through the first connecting member 5331.
[0089] Specifically, the first support member 5511 supports the middle position of the back surface 33 of the display assembly 30 and can drive the first connection 331 of the display assembly 30 to move along the first direction X. The first support member 5511 can be made of metal or other composite materials, thus the first support member 5511 has high strength and can also provide a certain degree of support for the display assembly 30 when it is deformed. The first connecting member 5519 is fixedly connected to the linkage member 513 so that the linkage member 513 can drive the first support member 5511 to move along the first direction X. The first connecting member 5519 is also fixedly connected to the push member 531 so that the first support assembly 551 can drive the push member 531 to move along the first direction X.
[0090] The connection between the first connecting member 5519 and the linkage member 513 can be achieved through threaded connection, screw connection, or snap-fit connection. In this application, the connection between the first connecting member 5519 and the linkage member 513 is a screw connection, resulting in a more stable connection. The first connecting member 5519 and the first support member 5511 can be an integral or separate structure. When the first connecting member 5519 and the first support member 5511 are an integral structure, the connection between them is more stable. The first connecting member 5519 and the first support member 5511 can be integrally formed, simplifying the processing steps of the first support assembly 551. When the first connecting member 5519 and the first support member 5511 are separate structures, they can be detachably or non-detachably connected. Detachable installation methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connection, screw connection, or snap-fit connection. Non-detachable installation methods include, but are not limited to, welding, adhesive connection, or interference fit.
[0091] Referring to Figures 1 and 9, in some embodiments, the base assembly 10 further includes a first support platform 13 disposed within the receiving cavity 111. The linkage 513 is supported on the first support platform 13, which guides the linkage 513 to move along a first direction X. The first support platform 13 also supports the linkage 513, the pusher 531, and the first support assembly 551.
[0092] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 10, and 11, in some embodiments, the second support assembly 553 includes a second support member 5531, a second connector 5533, and a guide member 5535. The second support member 5531 is connected to one of the opposite sides of the back surface 33. The second connector 5533 is connected to the end of the second support member 5531 away from the display assembly 30. The guide member 5535 is connected to the second connector 5533 and has a first guide hole 5536, in which the second connector 5333 is rotatably and movably mounted.
[0093] Two second support members 5531 are connected to opposite sides of the back surface 33. The second support members 5531 support the positions of the sides of the back surface 33 of the display assembly 30 and can drive the second connection point 332 of the display assembly 30 to move along the second direction Y. The second support members 5531 can be made of metal or other composite materials, thus providing high strength. When the display assembly 30 is deformed, the second support members 5531 can also provide some support to the display assembly 30. The second connecting member 5533 is fixedly connected to both the guide member 5535 and the second support members 5531, so that the guide member 5535 can drive the second support members 5531 to move along the second direction Y.
[0094] This application provides two second connecting members 5333, both of which are rolling bearings. These rolling bearings are installed on the pusher 531 at positions corresponding to the two first guide holes 5536. The two rolling bearings extend into the two first guide holes 5536 respectively. When the pusher 531 moves along the first direction X, the rolling bearings can slide against the sidewalls 113 of the first guide holes 5536. This allows the guide member 5535 to move relative to the base 11 along the second direction Y. The guide member 5535 can then drive the second support member 5531 to move along the second direction Y, and the second support member 5531 can then drive the second connection point 332 of the display assembly 30 to move along the second direction Y. When the second connecting member 5333 is a rolling bearing, the cooperation between the rolling bearing and the guide member 5535 reduces sliding friction resistance, thereby allowing for smoother deformation of the display assembly 30.
[0095] The second connecting member 5533 and the second supporting member 5531 can be an integral or separate structure. When the second connecting member 5533 and the second supporting member 5531 are an integral structure, the connection between them is relatively stable. The second connecting member 5533 and the second supporting member 5531 can be integrally molded, simplifying the processing steps of the second supporting component 553. When the second connecting member 5533 and the second supporting member 5531 are separate structures, they can be detachably or non-detachably connected. Detachable installation methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, screw connections, or snap-fit connections. Non-detachable installation methods include, but are not limited to, welding, adhesive bonding, or interference fits.
[0096] The second connecting member 5533 and the guide member 5535 can be an integral structure or separate structures. When the second connecting member 5533 and the guide member 5535 are an integral structure, the connection between them is relatively stable. The second connecting member 5533 and the guide member 5535 can be integrally molded, simplifying the processing steps of the second support component 553. When the second connecting member 5533 and the guide member 5535 are separate structures, they can be detachably or non-detachably connected. Detachable installation methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, screw connections, or snap-fit connections. Non-detachable installation methods include, but are not limited to, welding, adhesive connections, or interference fits.
[0097] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the base assembly 10 is further disposed within the base 11 as a second support platform 15. The second support platform 15 is provided with a first space 151, in which a portion of the structure of the second coupling member 5533, the guide member 5535, and the second support member 5531 is accommodated. The cooperation between the first space 151 and the second support assembly 553, and the cooperation between the first guide hole 5536 and the second connector 5333, are used to jointly move the second support assembly 553 along the second direction Y.
[0098] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first space 151 includes a first subspace 1511 and a second subspace 1513 that are connected. The first subspace 1511 extends along a first direction X, and the second subspace 1513 extends along a second direction Y. The second coupling member 5533 and the guide member 5535 are fitted together in the first subspace 1511 with a clearance fit. The second support assembly 553 also includes a guide member 5537, which is connected to the second support member 5531 and fitted together in the second subspace 1513 with a clearance fit.
[0099] The first subspace 1511 is used to accommodate the second connecting member 5533 and the guide member 5535. In the second direction Y, the widths of the second connecting member 5533 and the guide member 5535 can be the same, and the width of the first subspace 1511 can be greater than the width of the guide member 5535. There is a gap between the two subspaces 1511 in the second direction Y. When the pushing member 531 moves along the first direction X, the second connecting member 5333 slides within the first guide hole 5536, thereby allowing the guide member 5535 to move within the first subspace 1511 along the second direction Y. The guide member 5535 can drive the second support member 5531 to move along the second direction Y.
[0100] The second subspace 1513 is used to house the guide member 5537. A gap exists between the second subspace 1513 and the guide member 5537 in the second direction Y. When the pusher 531 moves along the first direction X, the second connector 5333 slides within the first guide hole 5536, allowing the guide member 5537 to move within the second subspace 1513. The guide member 5537 can also drive the second support member 5531 to move along the second direction Y. Simultaneously, the guide member 5537 can further restrict the movement of the second support assembly 553 along the first direction X.
[0101] Please refer to Figures 1, 10 and 11. In some embodiments, the guide 5537 includes a guide body 5538 and first rolling bearings 5539 located on opposite sides of the guide body 5538. The first rolling bearings 5539 are rotatably and movablely supported on the sidewall 113 of the second subspace 1513.
[0102] When the guide member 5535 moves along the second direction Y, the guide body 5538 of the guide member 5537 also moves along the second direction Y. At this time, the first rolling bearing 5539 can slide within the second subspace 1513. The first rolling bearing 5539 can reduce the friction between the guide member 5537 and the side wall 113 of the second subspace 1513, so that the guide member 5537 can move smoothly along the second direction Y.
[0103] Please refer to Figures 1, 10 and 11. In some embodiments, the first guide hole 5536 includes a first sub-hole 55361 and a second sub-hole 55363 that are connected and communicate with each other. In the opposite direction of the first direction X, the extension direction of the first sub-hole 55361 is inclined away from the first support component 551. In the positive direction of the first direction X, the extension direction of the second sub-hole 55363 is inclined towards the first support component 551.
[0104] Preferably, the tilt angle of the second sub-hole 55363 relative to the first direction X is smaller than the tilt angle of the first sub-hole 55361 relative to the first direction X. When the second connector 5333 is located at the junction of the first sub-hole 55361 and the second sub-hole 55363, the display assembly 30 is in a planar state. When the pusher 531 moves in the opposite direction along the first direction X, the second connector 5333 enters the first sub-hole 55361 from the junction of the first sub-hole 55361 and the second sub-hole 55363. As the second connector 5333 continues to move in the opposite direction, it engages with the sidewall 113 of the first sub-hole 55361. At this time, the guide 5535 moves in the first subspace 1511 along the second direction Y toward the center of the display assembly 30, thereby driving the second support 5531 to move along the second direction Y toward the center of the display assembly 30. When the pusher 531 moves forward along the first direction X, the second connector 5333 enters the second sub-hole 55363 from the junction of the first sub-hole 55361 and the second sub-hole 55363. As the second connector 5333 continues to move forward, it engages with the side wall 113 of the second sub-hole 55363. At this time, the guide 5535 will make a slight movement in the first subspace 1511 along the second direction Y toward the center away from the display component 30, thereby driving the second support 5531 to move along the second direction Y toward the center away from the display component 30.
[0105] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 12, and 13. In some embodiments, the base assembly 10 further includes a guide plate 17 disposed within the base 11, the guide plate 17 having a second guide hole 171. The transmission assembly 53 further includes a transmission component 535. The third support assembly 555 includes a third support member 5551, a third connecting member 5553, and a fourth connecting member 5555. The third support member 5551 is connected to the back surface 33 and is located between the first support member 5511 and the second support member 5531. The third connecting member 5553 is connected to the end of the third support member 5551 away from the display assembly 30, and the third connecting member 5553 is connected to the second guide hole 171 via a second rolling bearing 5554. The fourth connecting member 5555 is connected to the end of the third connecting member 5553 away from the third support member 5551 and is connected to the transmission component 535 via a third rolling bearing 5556.
[0106] A third support member 5551 is located between the first support member 5511 and a second support member 5531, and another third support member 5551 is located between the first support member 5511 and another second support member 5531. The third support member 5551 is used to support the back surface 33 of the display assembly 30 and can drive the third connection 333 of the display assembly 30 to move along a curve. The third support member 5551 can be made of metal or other composite materials, thus the third support member 5551 has high strength, and the third support member 5551 can also provide a certain degree of support for the display assembly 30 when it is deformed. The transmission component 535 is fixedly connected to the pusher 531. When the pusher 531 moves along the first direction X, the transmission component 535 can drive the fourth coupling component 5555 to move via the third rolling bearing 5556. The fourth coupling component 5555 can drive the third coupling component 5553 to move in a curved motion within the second guide hole 171 via the second rolling bearing 5554. Thus, the third coupling component 5553 can drive the third support component 5551 to move in a curved motion. The sliding of the second rolling bearing 5554 within the second guide hole 171 can reduce the friction between it and the side wall 113 of the second guide hole 171, thereby making the movement of the third support component 5551 smoother.
[0107] Please refer to Figures 2 and 13. In some embodiments, the second guide hole 171 is an arc segment structure, and the second guide hole 171 extends toward the center of the display component 30.
[0108] The arc center of the second guide hole 171 can be close to the first support member 5511. In the second direction Y, the second guide hole 171 protrudes outward in a direction away from the first support member 5511. The curvature of the second guide hole 171 is calculated. When the second rolling bearing 5554 slides curvedly within the second guide hole 171, the third connecting member 5553 can drive the third connection 333 of the display component 30 to move curvedly through the third support member 5551. At this time, the arc surface formed after the deformation of the display component 30 can be closer to the arc surface.
[0109] Please refer to Figures 2, 13 to 16. In some embodiments, the multiple connectors 533 include a third connector 5335; the transmission component 535 includes a front transmission component 5351, a rear transmission component 5353, and an intermediate transmission component 5355. The front transmission component 5351 is fixedly connected to the pusher 531 via the third connector 5335 and is used to follow the movement of the pusher 531. The rear transmission component 5353 is connected to the fourth coupling component 5555 via a third rolling bearing 5556. The intermediate transmission component 5355 connects the front transmission component 5351 and the rear transmission component 5353 and is used to transmit the power of the front transmission component 5351 to the rear transmission component 5353, so that the rear transmission component 5353 moves along the first direction X. In this application, the third connector 5335 is a screw, and the front transmission component 5351 is fixedly connected to the pusher 531 via a screw.
[0110] Specifically, in some embodiments, the front transmission member 5351 includes a rack 5352; the rear transmission member 5353 includes a moving member 5354, the moving member 5354 is provided with a through hole 53541, and a third rolling bearing 5556 passes through the through hole 53541; the intermediate transmission member 5355 includes a first gear 5356, a second gear 5357 and a cam 5358, the first gear 5356 meshes with both the rack 5352 and the second gear 5357, the second gear 5357 is coaxially arranged with the cam 5358, and the cam 5358 cooperates with the moving member 5354 through a fourth rolling bearing 5359.
[0111] Please refer to Figures 13, 14, and 16. Figure 14 shows the state diagram of the transmission component 535 and the third support component 5551 when the display component 30 is in a planar state, and Figure 16 shows the state diagram of the transmission component 535 and the third support component 5551 when the display component 30 is in a convex state. When the display component 30 switches from a planar state to a convex state, the pusher 531 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X, and the rack 5352 also moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X. As a result, the first gear 5356 meshing with the rack 5352 begins to rotate, and the second gear 5357 meshing with the first gear 5356 also begins to rotate, and the rotation direction of the second gear 5357 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first gear 5356. Since the second gear 5357 is coaxially arranged with the cam 5358, when the second gear 5357 rotates, it can drive the cam 5358 to rotate, and the rotation direction of the cam 5358 is the same as the rotation direction of the second gear 5357. When cam 5358 rotates, cam 5358 engages with fourth rolling bearing 5359, which drives moving member 5354 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X. Moving member 5354 drives fourth coupling member 5555 to move via third rolling bearing 5556. The movement of fourth coupling member 5555 can drive third coupling member 5553 to move in the opposite direction of the curve within second guide hole 171 via second rolling bearing 5554. Thus, third coupling member 5553 can drive third support member 5551 to move in the opposite direction of the curve.
[0112] Please refer to Figures 13, 14, and 15. Figure 14 shows the state diagram of the transmission component 535 and the third support member 5551 when the display component 30 is in a planar state, and Figure 16 shows the state diagram of the transmission component 535 and the third support member 5551 when the display component 30 is in a recessed state. When the display component 30 switches from a planar state to a recessed state, the pusher 531 moves in the positive direction of the first direction X, and the rack 5352 also moves in the positive direction of the first direction X. As a result, the first gear 5356 meshing with the rack 5352 begins to rotate, and the second gear 5357 meshing with the first gear 5356 also begins to rotate, and the rotation direction of the second gear 5357 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first gear 5356. Since the second gear 5357 is coaxially arranged with the cam 5358, when the second gear 5357 rotates, it can drive the cam 5358 to rotate, and the rotation direction of the cam 5358 is the same as the rotation direction of the second gear 5357. When cam 5358 rotates, cam 5358 engages with fourth rolling bearing 5359, which drives moving member 5354 to move in the positive direction of the first direction X. Moving member 5354 drives fourth coupling member 5555 to move via third rolling bearing 5556. The movement of fourth coupling member 5555 can drive third coupling member 5553 to move in the positive direction of the curve within second guide hole 171 via second rolling bearing 5554. Thus, third coupling member 5553 can drive third support member 5551 to move in the positive direction of the curve.
[0113] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The transmission component 535 of this application includes two parts, each corresponding to one of the two third support components 555. Two racks 5352 are also included, each fixedly connected to the pusher 531. Therefore, when the pusher 531 moves, it can drive the two third support components 555 to move synchronously via the two transmission components 535, thus avoiding the problem of asynchronous movement of the two third support components 555.
[0114] Referring to Figure 13, in the first direction X, the width of the through hole 53541 is the same as the diameter of the third rolling bearing 5556, so that when the moving member 5354 moves along the first direction X, the moving member 5354 can drive the fourth connecting member 5555 to move through the third rolling bearing 5556. In the second direction Y, the length of the through hole 53541 can be greater than the length of the third rolling bearing 5556, so that when the third support assembly 555 moves along the curve, the third rolling bearing 5556 has a certain amount of movement space within the through hole 53541. When the third rolling bearing 5556 slides within the through hole 53541, the friction with the inner wall of the through hole 53541 can be reduced, thus the sliding of the third rolling bearing 5556 within the through hole 53541 is relatively smooth.
[0115] Please refer to Figures 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12. In some embodiments, the rear side 33 is provided with a pivot portion 34; the support member includes a support body 5513, an extension arm 5515, and a pivot portion 5517.

The pivot portion 5517 extends from the second side 55133 of the support body 5513, and a pivot 35 passes through the pivot portion 34 and the pivot portion 5517, allowing a portion of the display assembly 30 to rotate about the pivot 35.
[0116] The first connection 331, second connection 332, and third connection 333 of the display component 30 are each provided with a pivot portion 34. The first support member 5511, the second support member 5531, and the third support member 5551 each include a support body 5513, an extension arm 5515, and a pivot portion 5517.

[0117] The rotating shaft 35 of this application includes five shafts. The rotating shaft 35 passes through the pivot portion 5517 of the first support member 5511 and the pivot portion 34 of the first connection 331, the rotating shaft 35 passes through the pivot portion 5517 of the second support member 5531 and the pivot portion 34 of the second connection 332, and the rotating shaft 35 passes through the pivot portion 5517 of the third support member 5551 and the pivot portion 34 of the third connection 333. When the stator 5111 of the drive component 511 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction X to make the display component 30 bulge outward, a portion of the display component 30 at the first connection 331 can rotate around the axis 35 at a certain angle away from the center of the display component 30, a portion of the display component 30 at the second connection 332 can rotate around the axis 35 at a certain angle away from the center of the display component 30, and a portion of the display component 30 at the third connection 333 can rotate around the axis 35 at a certain angle away from the center of the display component 30, so that the curved surface of the display component 30 after deformation can be closer to the arc surface. When the stator 5111 of the drive component 511 moves in the positive direction of the first direction X to make the display component 30 concave, a portion of the display component 30 at the first connection 331 can rotate around the axis 35 towards the center of the display component 30 by a certain angle.
