Multi-Axis Hinge Structure for Flexible Display Bending

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from a constant rotating mode to a variable rotating mode. The hinge mechanism now allows the sliding members to move along curved paths with varying radii, enabling the rotation angle and radius to change dynamically during folding. This dynamic adjustment allows the hinge to adapt to different bending requirements of the flexible display screen at different folding stages.

The patent employs curvature by designing the rails with curved paths instead of straight lines. The first and second sliding members follow curved trajectories during rotation, with the curvature radius varying along the path. This curved rail design enables the hinge to accommodate the bending requirements of the flexible display by matching the curvature characteristics of the folded screen.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the hinge mechanism into distinct functional components: a base seat with multiple arcuate rails, connecting members with first sliding portions, and sliding members with second sliding portions. Each component has a specific function - the rails provide guided paths, the sliding portions enable relative motion, and the connecting members transmit forces. This segmentation allows for modular design and easier manufacturing while achieving the complex variable rotation path.

The patent uses intermediary elements - specifically the sliding portions and rails - to mediate the interaction between the connecting members and sliding members. The sliding portions engage with the arcuate rails to guide motion and transmit forces, acting as intermediaries that enable the variable rotation path without requiring direct complex connections between components. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the overall design while achieving reliable folding operation.
