Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to fig. 1 to 16 in the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

An electronic device 10 is provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. An electronic device such as electronic device 10 of fig. 1 may be a computing device such as a laptop computer, a computer monitor containing an embedded computer, a tablet, a cellular telephone, a media player, or other handheld or portable electronic device, a smaller device (such as a wristwatch device, a hanging device, a headset or earpiece device, a device embedded in glasses or other device worn on the head of a user, or other wearable or miniature device), a television, a computer display not containing an embedded computer, a gaming device, a navigation device, an embedded system (such as a system in which an electronic device with a display is installed in a kiosk or automobile), a device implementing the functionality of two or more of these devices, or other electronic device. In the exemplary configuration of fig. 1, the electronic device 10 is a portable device such as a cellular telephone, media player, tablet, or other portable computing device. Other configurations may be used for the electronic device if desired. The example of fig. 1 is merely exemplary.

As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 10 may include a first housing 100, a second housing 200, and a flexible screen assembly 300. The first housing 100 may include a first end 111 and a second end 112 disposed opposite to each other, the second housing 200 may include a third end 211 and a fourth end 212 disposed opposite to each other, one end of the flexible screen assembly 300 may be fixedly connected with the first housing 100, for example, with the first end 111, and the other end of the flexible screen assembly 300 may be fixedly connected with the second housing 200, for example, with the third end 211. It is understood that the flexible screen assembly 300 may be fixedly connected directly to the first housing 100 or the second housing 200, and that the flexible screen assembly 300 may be fixedly connected to the first housing 100 or the second housing 200 by, but not limited to, a connecting member (e.g., a belt, a rack), etc.

It will be appreciated that the first and second housings 100, 200 may provide support for the electronics in the electronic device 10 to mount the electronics in the electronic device 10 together. For example, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may support the flexible screen assembly 300. For example, the camera, the receiver, the circuit board 600, the power source and other electronic devices in the electronic apparatus 10 may be mounted on the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 for fixing.

The first and second cases 100 and 200 may include a hollow frame structure or a thin plate-like or sheet-like structure, and for example, the first and second cases 100 and 200 may include a drawer-like or comb-tooth-like structure. The first end 111 and the second end 112 of the first housing 100 may be both ends of a thin plate-like, sheet-like, drawer-like, comb-tooth-like structure; the third end 211 and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 may be both ends of the above-described structure. When both ends of the flexible screen assembly 300 are connected to the first end 111 and the third end 211, respectively, the second end 112 of the first housing 100 and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 may not be connected to the flexible assembly.

Wherein the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may move relatively in directions approaching each other or moving away from each other, and the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may move all or part of the flexible screen assembly 300 together during the mutual movement, or may drive all or part of the flexible screen assembly 300 to move (e.g., when both the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may move, all of the flexible screen assembly 300 may move with the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, and when one of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 moves and the other housing may not move, part of the flexible screen assembly 300 may be fixed with the fixed housing and the other part of the flexible screen assembly 300 may move with the moving housing). The flexible screen assembly 300 can be expanded or contracted along with the mutual movement of the first casing 100 and the second casing 200, so that the movement state of the flexible screen assembly 300 can be adjusted, the switching between different forms of the flexible screen assembly 300 is realized, and the electronic device 10 can adjust the display interface of the flexible screen assembly 300 according to the movement state. Illustratively, the flexible screen assembly 300 may move with the movement of the first and second housings 100, 200 such that the flexible screen assembly 300 may be switched between the first and second configurations. It is understood that the first configuration may be one of an expanded state, an intermediate state, and a contracted state, and the second configuration may be one of an expanded state, an intermediate state, and a contracted state, and that the first configuration is different from the second configuration, such that the flexible screen assembly 300 may be switched between any two of the expanded state, the intermediate state, and the contracted state.

As shown in fig. 1, the contracted state may be a state in which the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are relatively moved in a direction approaching each other to be finally formed. For example, the electronic device 10 may include first and second opposite sides, wherein the first side may be a front side of the electronic device 10 and the second side may be a back side of the electronic device 10, and when the flexible screen assembly 300 is in the contracted state, a portion of the flexible screen assembly 300 may be positioned on the first side of the electronic device 10 and a portion of the flexible screen assembly 300 may be positioned on the second side of the electronic device 10. It is understood that when the electronic device 10 is in the contracted state, the second end 112 of the first housing 100 may be close to the third end 211 of the second housing 200 and far from the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200; the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 may be proximate the first end 111 of the first housing 100 and distal the second end 112 of the first housing 100.

Referring to fig. 2 in conjunction with fig. 1, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second structure of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The intermediate state may be a state in which the first case 100 and the second case 200 are relatively moved in a direction away from each other such that the flexible screen assembly 300 is exposed at both the first side and the second side of the electronic device 10. It is understood that, when the electronic device 10 is in the intermediate state, the second end 112 of the first housing 100 may be gradually far from the third end 211 of the second housing 200, and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 may be gradually far from the first end 111 of the first housing 100.

Referring to fig. 1 in combination with fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a third structure of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The unfolded state refers to a state in which the first case 100 and the second case 200 are relatively moved in a direction away from each other such that all of the flexible screen assembly 300 is exposed to the first side of the electronic device 10. It is understood that when the electronic device 10 is in the unfolded state, the second end 112 of the first housing 100 may be away from the third end 211 of the second housing 200 and close to the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200; the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 may be distal from the first end 111 of the first housing 100 and proximal to the second end 112 of the first housing 100.

It is understood that there may be various intermediate states of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, such as the maximum movement distance of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 in the direction away from each other is H, and the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may move away from each other in the contracted state to achieve intermediate states in which one-fourth H, one-half H, and three-quarters H are equidistant to form different distances. The states gradually farther from each other may be sequentially defined as a first intermediate state, a second intermediate state, a third intermediate state, and the like.

It will be appreciated that when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the first intermediate state, such as the distance that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 move relatively far away from each other in the first intermediate state is one-fourth H, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may still move relatively far away from each other to reach the second intermediate state, such as the distance that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 move relatively far away from each other in the second intermediate state is one-half H. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application is only for illustrating one or more intermediate states of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, and does not limit the intermediate states of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be understood that in the description of this application, terms such as "first," "second," and the like are used merely to distinguish between similar objects and are not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3 and fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an explosion structure of the electronic device 10 in a contracted state provided in the embodiment of the application, and fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an explosion structure of the electronic device 10 in an expanded state provided in the embodiment of the application. The electronic device 10 may also include a rail assembly 400.

The rail assembly 400 may be disposed inside the electronic device 10, for example, in a receiving space formed by the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. The rail assembly 400 may include a first rail structure 410 and a second rail structure 420, the first rail structure 410 may be directly or indirectly connected with the first housing 100, and the second rail structure 420 may be directly or indirectly connected with the second housing 200. The second rail structure 420 can move relative to the first rail structure 410, so that the second rail structure 420 can drive the second housing 200 to move relative to the first rail structure 410 and the first housing 100.

It is understood that the first rail structure 410 may be connected to the first housing 100 near the second end 112, i.e., the distance between the first rail structure 410 and the second end 112 may be smaller than the distance between it and the first end 111.

It is understood that the first rail structure 410 may be adjacent to an edge of the first housing 100 and connected to the first housing 100, and the second rail structure 420 may be adjacent to an edge of the second housing 200 and connected to the second housing 200. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the first housing 100 may include a first bottom plate 110, and the first bottom plate 110 may include a first end 111 and a second end 112 disposed opposite to each other and two sides between the first end 111 and the second end 112 in the foregoing embodiments, and the first rail structure 410 may be disposed in a region where one side is close to the second end 112 (mounting positions for mounting the two sets of first rail structures 410 are provided at the lower left corner and the upper left corner of the first bottom plate 110 in fig. 4 and 5). The second housing 200 may include a second base plate 210, and the second base plate 210 may include a third end 211 and a fourth end 212 disposed opposite to each other and two sides between the third end 211 and the fourth end 212, and the second rail structure 420 may be disposed at a region where one side is close to the fourth end 212 (two sets of mounting positions for mounting the second rail structure 420 are provided at a lower edge and an upper edge of the second base plate 210 in fig. 4 and 5).

In the electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 10 may often have a structure such as a reel, a motor, and a gear wound around the flexible screen assembly 300 at the first end 111 of the first housing 100 or the third end 211 of the second housing 200, and in the embodiment of the present application, the guide rail assembly 400 is disposed at a position far from the first end 111 and the third end 211 and close to the edge, and the guide rail assembly 400 is not easy to affect the layout of the flexible screen assembly 300 and other devices inside the electronic device 10, and is not easy to affect the movement of the flexible screen assembly 300; meanwhile, the guide rail assembly 400 can balance the weight of the electronic device 10, so that the holding comfort of a user is improved.

It should be noted that the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420 may be disposed in other areas of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, for example, but not limited to, the first rail structure 410 is disposed in a middle area of the first housing 100, and the second rail structure 420 is also disposed in a middle area of the first housing 100. The specific installation positions of the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420 are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It is understood that the first rail structure 410 may be a rail seat structure and the second rail structure 420 may be a rail structure. The length of the first rail structure 410 may be much smaller than the length of the second rail structure 420 to reduce the space occupied by the first rail structure 410.

Based on the above-mentioned structure of the electronic device 10, please refer to fig. 4 and 5 in combination with fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of the rail assembly 400 of the electronic device 10 according to the embodiment of the present application. The rail assembly 400 of the present embodiment may also include a ball structure 430.

The ball structures 430 are rollably disposed between the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420 and may abut the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420, respectively. The second rail structure 420 can roll relative to the first rail structure 410 under the rolling action of the ball structure 430.

It is understood that the first rail structure 410 may be provided with a sliding slot 411, and the second rail structure 420 may be movably disposed in the sliding slot 411. For example, the second rail structure 420 and the ball structure 430 may be both located in the sliding slot 411, and the second rail structure 420 may be movably disposed in the sliding slot 411 and may move relative to the first rail structure 410 under the action of the ball structure 430.

It will be appreciated that the side of the second rail structure 420 may be provided with a groove 424 extending in the direction of movement of the second rail structure 420, which groove 424 may form a mounting portion together with the runner 411 of the first rail structure 410, and the ball structure 430 may be located in the mounting portion and abut the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420, respectively.

In the guide rail assembly 400 of the present embodiment, the ball structure 430 is disposed between the first guide rail structure 410 and the second guide rail structure 420, and the ball structure 430 can reduce the resistance of the relative movement of the first guide rail structure 410 and the second guide rail structure 420, so that the relative movement of the first guide rail structure 410 and the second guide rail structure 420 is smoother.

In order to further improve the smoothness of the movement of the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420, the rail assembly 400 may be a recirculating ball rail structure.

As shown in fig. 6, the first rail structure 410 may include a body 412, a first end cap 413, and a second end cap 414, and the first end cap 413 may be disposed at and coupled to opposite ends of the body 412. The main body 412 may be provided with the sliding slot 411 of the foregoing embodiment, and the main body 412 may be further provided with a through hole extending along the moving direction of the second rail structure 420, for example, a second through hole 415, where the second through hole 415 may be spaced from the sliding slot 411 by a slot wall, and the second through hole 415 may also be communicated with the sliding slot 411 and the mounting portion at two ends. The first and second end caps 413, 414 may enclose the sliding slot 411 and the through hole at both ends of the body 412 such that the through hole, the first end cap 413, the sliding slot 411, and the second end cap 414 may form a dual-link ball channel communicating with each other.

It will be appreciated that the ball structure 430 may include a first ball 431 and a second ball 432, the first ball 431 may be located within the second through hole 415 and abut the first rail structure 410 and the chute wall; the second ball 432 may be located within the chute 411 and abut the second rail structure 420 with the chute wall, and the first and second balls 431 and 432 may roll along the ball channel. During the rolling process, the first ball 431 can roll from the chute 411 to the second through hole 415 and roll back to the chute 411 from the second through hole 415; the second balls 432 roll from the second through holes 415 to the sliding grooves 411 and roll back from the sliding grooves 411 to the second through holes 415 and … …, and the first guide rail structure 410 and the second guide rail structure 420 can realize relative movement under the action of the circulating balls of the first balls 431 and the second balls 432.

It will be appreciated that the first end cap 413 and the second end cap 414 may have relief spaces thereon that may be located in the path of travel of the second rail structure 420 to avoid blocking movement of the second rail structure 420.

It is to be appreciated that the first rail structure 410, the second rail structure 420, and the ball structure 430 of the present embodiment may form a set of rail assemblies 400, and the electronic device 10 of the present embodiment may include multiple sets of rail assemblies 400, for example and without limitation, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, and the electronic device 10 of the present embodiment may symmetrically provide two sets of rail assemblies 400, so that the operation of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is more stable.

It should be understood that the rail assembly 400 of the present embodiment may also include, but is not limited to, a motor, a main control module, etc., which are described in detail in the specification of the technology, and are not described in detail herein.

The guide rail assembly 400 of the present embodiment drives the relative motion of the first guide rail structure 410 and the second guide rail structure 420 through the ball structure 430 that can circulate, so as to realize the relative motion of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, the motion process of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is stable, reliable, smooth and free from jamming, and the whole guide rail assembly 400 is simple and convenient to assemble. Under the driving action of the motor, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be automatically extended and retracted, and the user operation experience can be improved.

It should be noted that the second rail structure 420 of the embodiment of the present application may also use other manners, such as, but not limited to, sliding connection with the first rail structure 410 through a slider. This is not limiting in the embodiments of the present application.

Referring to fig. 4 to fig. 6 in combination with fig. 7 and fig. 8, fig. 7 is a first structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 10 in an unfolded state without the dust-proof component 500 provided in the embodiment of the present application, and fig. 8 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 10 in which the dust-proof component 500 is provided in the a portion shown in fig. 7. During the relative movement of the first and second housings 100 and 200, a dust inlet path S may be formed between the second end 112 of the first housing 100 and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200, at least a portion of the rail assembly 400 may be located in the dust inlet path S, and foreign matter such as dust, filings, etc. may enter the rail assembly 400 from the dust inlet path S.

As shown in fig. 4 to 8, the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application may further include a dust-proof assembly 500. The dust prevention assembly 500 may be disposed at the dust inlet path S and block foreign objects from entering the rail assembly 400 from the dust inlet path S.

It is understood that the dust prevention assembly 500 may be disposed inside the dust inlet path S. For example, the dust assembly 500 may be disposed between the second end 112 and the rail assembly 400, and the dust assembly 500 may also be disposed between the fourth end 212 and the rail assembly 400. Of course, the dust-proof component 500 may also be disposed at the port of the dust-feeding path S or outside the port of the dust-feeding path S and be in communication with the dust-feeding path S; for example, the dust assembly 500 may be disposed at the fourth end 212 or the second end 112 and block foreign matter from entering the dust path S.

It is understood that the dust inlet path S may be changed with the movement of the first and second housings 100 and 200. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, when the first and second housings 100 and 200 are relatively moved to the unfolded state, the distance between the second end 112 of the first housing 100 and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 is short, and the dust inlet path S in which a portion of the rail assembly 400 may be located is short. Referring to fig. 9 in combination with fig. 7 and 8, fig. 9 is a schematic view of a first structure of the electronic device 10 shown in fig. 8 in a unfolded and folded state. When the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 relatively move to the contracted state, the distance between the second end 112 of the first housing 100 and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200 is long, and the dust inlet path S is long, and most or all of the rail assembly 400 may be located in the dust inlet path S. It is appreciated that, to better enhance the dust-proof effect of the dust-proof assembly 500, the dust-feeding path S of the embodiment of the present application may be the longest path formed by the second end 112 and the fourth end 212 during movement.

In the electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, during the relative movement of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, a dust inlet path S is formed between the second end 112 of the first housing 100 and the fourth end 212 of the second housing 200, the dust-proof assembly 500 is disposed in the dust inlet path S, and the dust-proof assembly 500 can block foreign matters from entering the guide rail assembly 400 from the dust inlet path S, so as to avoid the influence of the foreign matters such as dust on the guide rail assembly 400. The guide rail assembly 400 has a dustproof function, so that the phenomenon that the first guide rail structure 410 and the second guide rail structure 420 are blocked in a sliding manner can be avoided, and the sliding life of the guide rail assembly 400 is prolonged.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8 again, when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 move relatively, a first gap S1 may be formed between the first bottom plate 110 of the first housing 100 and the second bottom plate 210 of the second housing 200, and the dust-proof assembly 500 may be located in the first gap S1 and seal the first gap S1.

It will be appreciated that the first and second base plates 110 and 210 may be stacked with a height difference therebetween, which allows the first gap S1 to be formed therebetween, when the first and second housings 100 and 200 are relatively moved. For example, a first gap S1 may be formed between the first bottom plate 110 and the fourth end 212 of the second bottom plate 210, and the first gap S1 may be a part of the dust inlet path S, or may be an inlet of the dust inlet path S, and foreign matters such as dust may enter the electronic device 10 from the first gap S1 to affect the movement of the rail assembly 400.

As shown in fig. 8, a dust assembly 500, e.g., a first dust structure 510 of the dust assembly 500, may be positioned within the first gap S1 and coupled with the first and second base plates 110 and 210, respectively, to seal the first gap S1 therebetween. For example, the first dust preventing structure 510 may be, but not limited to, adhered to the first base plate 110 or the second base plate 210 by a material such as a sealant.

It is understood that the dust-proof component 500, for example, the first dust-proof structure 510 of the dust-proof component 500, may include a dust-proof structure made of foam, fleece or magnetic material. The dustproof assembly 500 made of foam, lint, or the like is provided to seal the first gap S1, and can seal the first gap S1 and block foreign matters such as dust from entering the electronic device 10. The dustproof assembly 500 made of magnetic material is provided with and seals the first gap S1, and the dustproof assembly 500 can not only prevent common dust and other foreign matters from entering the guide rail assembly 400, but also adsorb external metal powder or metal toner generated in the sliding process of the guide rail assembly 400, so as to prevent the metal powder from entering the guide rail assembly 400 and affecting the operation of the guide rail assembly 400.

The dust-proof assembly 500 of the present embodiment is located between the first bottom plate 110 and the fourth end 212 of the second bottom plate 210, and the dust-proof assembly 500 can block foreign matters from entering the guide rail assembly 400 from the entrance of the dust-entering path S.

Referring to fig. 7 to fig. 9 in combination with fig. 10 to fig. 12, fig. 10 is a second structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 10 in an unfolded state without the dust-proof component 500 provided in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 11 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 10 in fig. 10 with the dust-proof component 500 provided in the B portion, and fig. 12 is a second structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 10 in a contracted state shown in fig. 11.

When the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 move with each other, at least part of the first housing 100, for example, at least part of the first bottom plate 110 of the first housing 100, may be located in the accommodating space, and at this time, a first gap S1 of the foregoing embodiment may be formed between an end of the first side plate 220, for example, the first side plate 220, away from the second bottom plate 210, and the first bottom plate 110.

As shown in fig. 11, a dust assembly 500, such as a first dust structure 510 of the dust assembly 500, may be coupled to the first side plate 220 and seal the first gap S1. The first dust preventing structure 510 may be, but not limited to, connected to an end portion of the first side plate 220 remote from the second bottom plate 210 (a bottom portion of the first side plate 220) and sealing a first gap S1 between the end portion of the first side plate 220 and the first bottom plate 110, and the first dust preventing structure 510 may move with the movement of the second housing 200 and may sweep foreign matter on the first bottom plate 110 and the second bottom plate 210 to prevent dust from entering the rail assembly 400 from an inlet of the dust inlet path S.

It is understood that the dust-proof assembly 500, such as the first dust-proof structure 510 of the dust-proof assembly 500, may also be coupled to the first base plate 110 and seal the first gap S1. The first dust preventing structure 510 may be laid on the first bottom plate 110 along the movement direction H1 of the second housing 200, and when the second housing 200 moves relative to the first housing 100, the first dust preventing structure 510 may be connected (e.g., abutted) with the first side plate 220 of the second housing 200 and seal the first gap S1 between the first side plate 220 and the first bottom plate 110 to prevent dust from entering the rail assembly 400 from the inlet of the dust entering path S.

The dustproof assembly 500 of the embodiment of the application is disposed between the first side plate 220 of the second housing 200 and the first bottom plate 110 of the first housing 100, the first gap S1 between the first side plate 220 and the first bottom plate 110 is smaller, the sealing effect of the dustproof assembly 500 is better, and the entry of foreign matters such as dust into the guide rail assembly 400 can be further avoided.

In order to further prevent foreign matters such as dust from entering the guide rail assembly 400, the dust-proof assembly 500 of the embodiment of the present application may be disposed in a region where the dust-entering path S contacts the guide rail assembly 400.

For example, please refer to fig. 7 to 12 in combination with fig. 13 and 14, fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of the dust-proof assembly 500 and the rail assembly 400 in the unfolded state provided in the embodiment of the present application, and fig. 14 is a schematic connecting diagram of the dust-proof assembly 500 and the rail assembly 400 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The second rail structure 420 of the rail assembly 400 may include a fifth end 421 and a sixth end 422 disposed opposite to each other, and a distance between the fifth end 421 and the third end 211 of the second housing 200 may be a distance between the sixth end 422 and the third end 211 such that the fifth end 421 is disposed away from the third end 211 and the sixth end 422 is disposed near the third end 211. When the first and second housings 100 and 200 are moved away from each other such that the electronic device 10 is in the unfolded state, a second gap S2 may be formed between the fifth end 421 and the first rail structure 410.

For example, the first rail structure 410 may include a seventh end 416 (e.g., an end portion where the first end cover 413 is located) and an eighth end 417 (e.g., an end portion where the second end cover 414 is located) that are disposed opposite to each other, the seventh end 416 may be spaced from the first end 111 of the first housing 100 less than the eighth end 417 from the first end 111, and the fifth end 421 of the second rail structure 420 may form a second gap S2 with the seventh end 416 of the first rail structure 410 when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are spaced apart from each other such that the electronic device 10 is in the unfolded state.

Wherein at least a portion of the dust assembly 500, such as the second dust structure 520 of the dust assembly 500, may be coupled to the fifth end 421 of the second rail structure 420 and seal the second gap S2 when the first and second housings 100 and 200 are moved away from each other to the unfolded state.

It should be noted that, when the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420 move to other positions and the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in other states, the dust-proof assembly 500, for example, the second dust-proof structure 520 of the dust-proof assembly 500, may also block dust from entering the first rail structure 410 and the second rail structure 420 from the fifth end 421 toward the sixth end 422.

The dustproof assembly 500 of the embodiment of the present application is connected with the second rail structure 420 and seals the second gap S2 between the second rail structure 420 and the first rail structure 410, and the dustproof assembly 500 can further block foreign matters such as dust from entering the rail assembly 400 from the fifth end 421, so that the dustproof effect of the electronic device 10 is better.
