Further, the first housing 81 and the second housing 82 are respectively connected to the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3, so that the first housing 81 rotates around the rotation center of the first connecting member 2, the second housing 82 rotates around the rotation center of the second connecting member 3, the first movable member 4 rotates around the first gear shaft 61, the second movable member 5 rotates around the second gear shaft 62, the rotation centers of the housing assembly and the movable member are not concentric, the housing assembly and the movable member form a staggered movement, and a third portion of the flexible member connected to the foldable mechanism gradually forms a water drop shape when the flexible member is bent, so that the flexible member is prevented from being damaged due to the fact that the bending radius of the flexible member is too small.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present application should be covered within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
