In some possible implementations, the main support plate has a support surface for supporting the screen. When the electronic equipment is in an open state, the end face of the first splicing block, the end face of the second splicing block and the supporting surface of the main supporting plate are flush.

In some possible implementations, the main shaft has a first arc space and a second arc space, and the main support plate further includes a first avoidance hole and a second avoidance hole, where the first avoidance hole is communicated with the first arc space, and the second avoidance hole is communicated with the second arc space.

When the electronic equipment is in an open state, the end part of the first arc-shaped arm is at least partially positioned in the first avoidance hole, at this time, the first arc-shaped arm can have a larger radian due to the design of the first avoidance hole, the matching radian of the first arc-shaped arm and the first arc-shaped space of the main support plate (namely, the radian of the first arc-shaped arm extending into the first arc-shaped space) is larger, and the relative movement of the first arc-shaped arm and the main support plate is more stable. In addition, the risk that the first arc-shaped arm is separated from the main support plate can be reduced, so that the connection relationship between the first arc-shaped arm and the main support plate is more reliable. At least part of the end part of the second arc-shaped arm is positioned in the second avoidance hole, at this time, the second avoidance hole is designed to enable the second arc-shaped arm to have a larger radian, the matching radian of the second arc-shaped arm and the second arc-shaped space of the main supporting plate is larger, and the relative movement of the second arc-shaped arm and the main supporting plate is more stable.

In some possible implementation manners, the end face of the first bump is slightly concave relative to the supporting surface of the main supporting plate, so that the connection requirement of the first arc-shaped arm and the supporting requirement of the screen are considered, at this time, because the opening area of the first avoiding hole is smaller, and the concave degree of the end face of the first bump relative to the supporting surface of the main supporting plate is shallower, when the area of the bending part of the screen corresponding to the first avoiding hole is pressed or bumped, the risk of obvious sinking or damage is smaller, and the reliability of the screen is higher.
The terminal surface of second lug is concave slightly relative the holding surface of main supporting plate to compromise the connection demand of second arc arm and the support demand of screen, at this moment, because the opening area of hole is dodged to the second is less, and the terminal surface of second lug is shallower relative the holding surface of main supporting plate, therefore the region that the portion of bending of screen corresponds to the hole is dodged to the second receives when pressing or collide, takes place obvious sunken or damage the risk less, and the reliability of screen is higher.

The connecting section of the first connecting arm includes a first mating block including a mating face facing the second end of the first connecting arm. The first fitting block is mounted in the first fitting groove, and the fitting surface of the first fitting block contacts the fitting wall surface of the first fitting groove. The contact structure of the matching surface and the matching wall surface increases the contact area of the matching block and the fixing frame, so that the connection stability of the connecting arm and the fixing frame is increased, and the reliability of the folding assembly is improved.
In some possible implementations, the mating surface of the first mating block and/or the mating wall of the first mating groove are cambered surfaces, and the mating surface of the first mating block and the mating wall of the first mating groove form a cambered surface lap joint. The cambered surface overlap joint structure increases the connection stability of the connecting arm and the fixing frame in the movement process of the folding assembly, so that the relative movement of the connecting arm and the fixing frame is more stable, and the reliability of the folding assembly is improved.
In some possible implementations, the main support plate includes a first support block and a second support block, and the first support block and the second support block are respectively convexly disposed at two sides of the main support plate. When the electronic equipment is in an open state, the first supporting plate is overlapped with the first supporting block, and the second supporting plate is overlapped with the second supporting block. When the folding assembly is in an open state, the first supporting block of the main supporting plate can provide rigid support for the first supporting plate, and the second supporting block can provide rigid support for the second supporting plate, so that the local rigidity of the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate can be improved through the lap joint design, the pressing virtual positions of the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate are reduced, and the reliability of a screen is improved.

When the electronic equipment is in an open state, the first support plate is overlapped with the third support block, and the second support plate is overlapped with the fourth support block. The overlap joint structure makes the supporting shoe comparatively stable to the support of backup pad, increases folding assembly's reliability.
In some possible implementation manners, the first support plate is provided with a third overlapping surface overlapping the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, and an inclined plane is formed between the third overlapping surface of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, so that the overlapping area is improved, the support of the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body to the first support plate is more stable, and the relative movement of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body is not easy to interfere and is smoother.

In some possible implementations, the third supporting block protrudes in a direction approaching the main supporting plate, and the third supporting block is arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the first supporting block. Because the third supporting block is protruding to the direction that is close to the main tributary fagging, the third supporting block is arranged with first supporting block dislocation, and the third supporting block is close to with the holding surface of first supporting block, consequently third supporting block and first supporting block can support first backup pad better simultaneously to the structural requirement to first backup pad is lower, and bearing structure easily realizes.
In some possible implementation manners, the first support plate is provided with a third overlapping surface overlapping the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, and an inclined plane is formed between the third overlapping surface of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, so that the overlapping area is improved, the support of the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body to the first support plate is more stable, and the relative movement of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body is not easy to interfere and is smoother.
In some possible implementations, when the electronic device is in the open state, the first support plate overlaps the first swing arm and the second support plate overlaps the second swing arm. Because the first swing arm can provide rigid support for the first backup pad, the second swing arm can provide rigid support for the second backup pad, consequently can improve the local rigidity of first backup pad and second backup pad through overlap joint design, reduce the virtual position of pressing of first backup pad and second backup pad to promote the reliability of screen.
In some possible implementation manners, the first supporting plate is provided with a second overlapping surface overlapping the first swinging arm, and an inclined plane is formed between the second overlapping surface of the first supporting plate and the first swinging arm to match, so that the overlapping area is improved, the first swinging arm is more stable to the support of the first supporting plate, and the relative movement of the first supporting plate and the first swinging arm is not easy to interfere and is smoother. The second supporting plate is provided with a second overlap joint surface for overlapping the second swing arm, and an inclined plane is formed between the second overlap joint surface of the second supporting plate and the second swing arm, so that the overlap joint area is improved, the second swing arm is more stable to the support of the second supporting plate, and the relative movement of the second supporting plate and the second swing arm is not easy to interfere and smooth.

In some possible implementation manners, the end face of the first bump is slightly concave relative to the supporting surface of the main supporting plate, so that the connection requirement of the first arc-shaped arm and the supporting requirement of the screen are considered, at this time, because the opening area of the first avoiding hole is smaller, and the concave degree of the end face of the first bump relative to the supporting surface of the main supporting plate is shallower, when the area of the bending part of the screen corresponding to the first avoiding hole is pressed or bumped, the risk of obvious sinking or damage is smaller, and the reliability of the screen is higher.
The terminal surface of second lug is concave slightly relative the holding surface of main supporting plate to compromise the connection demand of second arc arm and the support demand of screen, at this moment, because the opening area of hole is dodged to the second is less, and the terminal surface of second lug is shallower relative the holding surface of main supporting plate, therefore the region that the portion of bending of screen corresponds to the hole is dodged to the second receives when pressing or collide, takes place obvious sunken or damage the risk less, and the reliability of screen is higher.
In some possible implementation manners, through structural design or dimensional design and the like, the matching radian of the first arc-shaped arm and the second arc-shaped arm and the main support plate is enough, at this time, the main support plate is not provided with the first avoiding hole and the second avoiding hole, the integrity of the main support plate is higher, and the bending part of the screen can be better supported.
In some possible implementations, the first end of the first connecting arm is rotatably connected to the main shaft by means of a connection of a physical shaft; and/or the first end of the second connecting arm is rotationally connected with the main shaft in a connection mode of the solid shaft; and/or the second end of the first connecting arm is rotationally connected with the first fixing frame in a connection mode of the virtual shaft; and/or the second end of the second connecting arm is rotationally connected with the second fixing frame in a connection mode of the virtual shaft.

The connecting section of the first connecting arm includes a first mating block including a mating face facing the second end of the first connecting arm. The first fitting block is mounted in the first fitting groove, and the fitting surface of the first fitting block contacts the fitting wall surface of the first fitting groove. The contact structure of the matching surface and the matching wall surface increases the contact area of the matching block and the fixing frame, so that the connection stability of the connecting arm and the fixing frame is increased, and the reliability of the folding assembly is improved.
In some possible implementations, the mating surface of the first mating block and/or the mating wall of the first mating groove are cambered surfaces, and the mating surface of the first mating block and the mating wall of the first mating groove form a cambered surface lap joint. The cambered surface overlap joint structure increases the connection stability of the connecting arm and the fixing frame in the movement process of the folding assembly, so that the relative movement of the connecting arm and the fixing frame is more stable, and the reliability of the folding assembly is improved.
In some possible implementations, the main support plate includes a first support block and a second support block, and the first support block and the second support block are respectively convexly disposed at two sides of the main support plate. When the electronic equipment is in an open state, the first supporting plate is overlapped with the first supporting block, and the second supporting plate is overlapped with the second supporting block. When the folding assembly is in an open state, the first supporting block of the main supporting plate can provide rigid support for the first supporting plate, and the second supporting block can provide rigid support for the second supporting plate, so that the local rigidity of the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate can be improved through the lap joint design, the pressing virtual positions of the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate are reduced, and the reliability of a screen is improved.
In some possible implementations, the first support plate has a first overlap surface overlapping the support surface of the first support block, and an inclined plane is formed between the first overlap surface of the first support plate and the support surface of the first support block, which is favorable for improving the overlap area, so that the first support block supports the first support plate more stably.

In some possible implementations, the spindle further includes a cover body fixed to a side of the main support plate facing away from the support surface of the main support plate, and the cover body further includes a third support block and a fourth support block, where the third support block and the fourth support block are respectively convexly disposed on two sides of the cover body. When the electronic equipment is in an open state, the first support plate is overlapped with the third support block, and the second support plate is overlapped with the fourth support block. The overlap joint structure makes the supporting shoe comparatively stable to the support of backup pad, increases folding assembly's reliability.
In some possible implementation manners, the first support plate is provided with a third overlapping surface overlapping the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, and an inclined plane is formed between the third overlapping surface of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, so that the overlapping area is improved, the support of the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body to the first support plate is more stable, and the relative movement of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body is not easy to interfere and is smoother.

In some possible implementations, the third supporting block protrudes in a direction approaching the main supporting plate, and the third supporting block is arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the first supporting block. Because the third supporting block is protruding to the direction that is close to the main tributary fagging, the third supporting block is arranged with first supporting block dislocation, and the third supporting block is close to with the holding surface of first supporting block, consequently third supporting block and first supporting block can support first backup pad better simultaneously to the structural requirement to first backup pad is lower, and bearing structure easily realizes.
In some possible implementation manners, the first support plate is provided with a third overlapping surface overlapping the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, and an inclined plane is formed between the third overlapping surface of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body, so that the overlapping area is improved, the support of the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body to the first support plate is more stable, and the relative movement of the first support plate and the plurality of third support blocks of the cover body is not easy to interfere and is smoother.
In some possible implementations, when the electronic device is in the open state, the first support plate overlaps the first swing arm and the second support plate overlaps the second swing arm. Because the first swing arm can provide rigid support for the first backup pad, the second swing arm can provide rigid support for the second backup pad, consequently can improve the local rigidity of first backup pad and second backup pad through overlap joint design, reduce the virtual position of pressing of first backup pad and second backup pad to promote the reliability of screen.

When the electronic device 200 is in the closed state, the screen 2 is located inside the housing device 1, and the electronic device 200 is a screen folding device.
In this embodiment, when the electronic device 200 is in the open state, the screen 2 is flattened, and the screen 2 can be displayed in full screen, so that the electronic device 200 has a larger display area, so as to improve the viewing experience and the operation experience of the user.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5 in combination, fig. 4 is a partially exploded view of the electronic device 200 shown in fig. 1, and fig. 5 is a partially exploded view of the housing device 1 shown in fig. 4.
In some embodiments, the housing apparatus 1 includes a first housing 11, a second housing 13, and a folding assembly 12. Wherein the folding assembly 12 may be connected between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13. The folding assembly 12 is movable to enable the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 to be relatively unfolded to an open state or relatively folded to a closed state, and to be relatively unfolded or relatively folded to an intermediate state. It should be understood that when the electronic apparatus 200 is in the open state, the screen 2, the housing device 1, and the respective components of the housing device 1 are correspondingly in the open state; when the electronic apparatus 200 is in the closed state, the screen 2, the housing device 1, and the respective components of the housing device 1 are correspondingly in the closed state; when the electronic apparatus 200 is in the intermediate state, the screen 2, the housing device 1, and the respective components of the housing device 1 are correspondingly in the intermediate state.
When the electronic device 200 is in the open state as shown in fig. 1, the included angle between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 may be approximately 180 °, the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are flattened, and the screen 2 is in a flattened form, at this time, the first housing 11 may be spliced with the second housing 13, and the splicing between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 includes the situation that the two abut against each other, or may include the situation that there is a small gap between the two. In this embodiment, by splicing the first housing 11 and the second housing 13, the housing device 1 can be stopped in the unfolding operation, so as to prevent the housing device 1 from being folded excessively during unfolding, thereby reducing the stress of the screen 2 and improving the reliability of the screen 2 and the electronic device 200.
In other embodiments, the angle between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 may be slightly different from 180 ° when the electronic device 200 is in the open state, for example 165 °, 177 °, 185 °, or the like, which also considers that the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are flattened. The angle between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 is defined as the angle between the upper side of the first housing 11 and the upper side of the second housing 13.
As shown in fig. 3, when the electronic device 200 is in the closed state, the included angle between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 may be approximately 0 °, the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are folded to the closed state, and the screen 2 is in the folded state. For example, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are in a closed state, they may contact each other to achieve positioning. In other embodiments, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are in the closed state, they may be close to each other, and a small gap exists between them, which is not strictly limited in this application. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 have a minute gap, some foreign matters (such as nails, clips, glass residues, etc.) outside the electronic device 200 do not enter between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 through the gap, so as to prevent the screen 2 from being damaged by the foreign matters, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic device 200.
It will be appreciated that the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are housing members for mounting and fixing other components of the electronic device 200, and have various structures, and the embodiments of the present application only briefly illustrate part of the structures of the first housing 11 and the second housing 13, and are also simplified in the drawings, and the embodiments of the present application do not strictly limit the specific structures of the first housing 11 and the second housing 13.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 4 in combination, the screen 2 includes a first non-bending portion 21, a bending portion 22, and a second non-bending portion 23 that are sequentially arranged. The first non-bending part 21 is fixedly connected with the first shell 11, the second non-bending part 23 is fixedly connected with the second shell 13, the bending part 22 is arranged corresponding to the folding assembly 12, and the bending part 22 deforms in the process of relatively folding or relatively unfolding the first shell 11 and the second shell 13. In the process of relatively folding or relatively unfolding the first shell 11 and the second shell 13, the first shell 11 drives the first non-bending portion 21 to move, and the second shell 13 drives the second non-bending portion 23 to move, so that the first non-bending portion 21 and the second non-bending portion 23 are relatively folded or unfolded.

For example, the first non-bent portion 21 of the screen 2 may be fixedly connected to the support surface 111 of the first housing 11. For example, the first non-bent portion 21 may be adhered to the support surface 111 of the first housing 11 by an adhesive layer. The second non-bending portion 23 is fixedly connected to the supporting surface 131 of the second housing 13. For example, the second non-bending portion 23 may be adhered to the supporting surface 131 of the second housing 13 by an adhesive layer.
In this embodiment, since the first non-bending portion 21 is fixedly connected to the first housing 11 and the second non-bending portion 23 is fixedly connected to the second housing 13, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are folded or unfolded relatively, the operation of folding and unfolding relatively between the first non-bending portion 21 and the second non-bending portion 23 can be accurately controlled, so that the deformation process and the movement form of the screen 2 are controllable, and the reliability is high.
As shown in fig. 1, when the first case 11 and the second case 13 are relatively unfolded to an open state, the first non-bent portion 21, the bent portion 22, and the second non-bent portion 23 of the screen 2 are relatively flattened, and the screen 2 is in a flattened state. As shown in fig. 2, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are in the intermediate state, an included angle is formed between the first non-bending portion 21 and the second non-bending portion 23 of the screen 2, the bending portion 22 is partially bent, and the screen 2 is in a bent state. As shown in fig. 3, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are folded to a closed state, the screen 2 is positioned inside the folding device and is in a folded state. The details of the folded configuration of the screen 2 will be described later.
Wherein, screen 2 can include display module assembly and backup pad, and display module assembly is flexible display screen, and the backup pad is located display module assembly's below for support display module assembly, increase display module assembly's structural rigidity. The rigidity of the portion of the support plate located at the bending portion 22 is smaller than the rigidity of the portions located at the first non-bending portion 21 and the second non-bending portion 23, that is, the rigidity of the portion of the support plate located at the bending portion 22 is smaller, the rigidity of the portion of the support plate located at the first non-bending portion 21 and the second non-bending portion 23 is larger, so that the structural rigidity of the screen 2 can be considered, the flatness is higher, and meanwhile, the bending portion 22 of the screen 2 can be bent smoothly.
It is understood that the supporting surface 111 of the first housing 11 and the supporting surface 131 of the second housing 13 may be continuous and complete surfaces, or may be surfaces including a plurality of recessed areas or hollowed-out areas, which are not strictly limited in the embodiment of the present application.
Wherein, the display module can integrate display function and touch sensing function. The display function of the screen 2 is used for displaying images, videos, etc., and the touch sensing function of the screen 2 is used for sensing touch actions of a user to realize man-machine interaction. The display module may be a liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display, LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display, a flexible light-emitting diode (flex) display, a MiniLED display, a Micro led display, a Micro-OLED display, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (quantum dot light emitting diodes, QLED) display, or the like.

Illustratively, a plurality of connection assemblies (32, 33, 34) are each connected to the main shaft 31, and the plurality of connection assemblies (32, 33, 34) are each capable of movement while being unfolded or folded relative to the main shaft 31. The plurality of connecting components (32, 33, 34) are also connected between the first housing 11 and the second housing 13, and when the plurality of connecting components (32, 33, 34) move relative to the main shaft 31, the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 move relative to the main shaft 31 so as to be unfolded or folded relatively. By way of example, the plurality of connection assemblies (32, 33, 34) may include a top connection assembly 32, a middle connection assembly 33, and a bottom connection assembly 34. Wherein the top connection member 32, the middle connection member 33, and the bottom connection member 34 are arranged at intervals in the extending direction of the main shaft 31. The extending direction of the main shaft 31 is a direction from the top to the bottom.
In this embodiment, the movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 when rotating relative to the spindle 31 is smoother and more reliable by the cooperative movement of the top connecting assembly 32, the middle connecting assembly 33 and the bottom connecting assembly 34.

The structure of the middle connection assembly 33 may be identical, partially identical, or completely different from that of the top connection assembly 32, which is not strictly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The rotation shaft 3282 passes through the rotation shaft hole 3244 of the second end 3242 of the second connection arm 324 and passes through the second rotation shaft hole 3221 of the second fixing frame 322 to connect the second end 3242 of the second connection arm 324 and the second fixing frame 322 in a plugging manner, so that the second end 3242 of the second connection arm 324 is rotatably connected with the second fixing frame 322 in a physical shaft connection manner.
Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 25, when the folding assembly 12 is in the unfolded state, the end of the first arcuate arm 3233 is at least partially positioned in the first relief aperture 412, e.g., the first tab 3233a of the first arcuate arm 3233 is at least partially positioned in the first relief aperture 412 of the main support plate 41. At this time, the design of the first avoiding hole 412 enables the first arc-shaped arm 3233 to have a larger arc, the matching arc between the first arc-shaped arm 3233 and the first arc-shaped space 41b of the main supporting plate 41 (i.e. the arc of the first arc-shaped arm 3233 extending into the first arc-shaped space 41 b) is larger, and the relative movement of the two is smoother. In addition, the risk of the first arc-shaped arm 3233 being separated from the main support plate 41 can be reduced, so that the connection relationship between the two is more reliable.
When the folding assembly 12 is in the unfolded state, the end of the second arc-shaped arm 3243 is at least partially positioned in the second escape hole 413, for example, the second protrusion 3243a of the second arc-shaped arm 3243 is at least partially positioned in the second escape hole 413 of the main support plate 41. At this time, the design of the second avoiding hole 413 enables the second arc-shaped arm 3243 to have a larger radian, the matching radian of the second arc-shaped arm 3243 and the second arc-shaped space 41c of the main supporting plate 41 is larger, and the relative movement of the second arc-shaped arm 3243 and the second arc-shaped space 41c is smoother. In addition, the risk of the second arc-shaped arm 3243 being separated from the main support plate 41 can be reduced, so that the connection relationship between the two is more reliable.
In this embodiment, when the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, since the first protruding block 3233a is at least partially located in the first avoiding hole 412, the first avoiding hole 412 can be filled, and the second protruding block 3243a is at least partially located in the second avoiding hole 413, the second avoiding hole 413 can be filled, so that the main supporting plate 41 can provide a relatively complete supporting environment for the bending portion 22 of the screen 2, so as to improve the reliability of the screen 2.
Wherein, when the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, the first bump 3233a may occupy most of the space of the first avoidance hole 412. In some embodiments, the end face of the first bump 3233a may be flush with the support face 411 of the main support plate 41 to achieve a splice, thereby providing a more complete and flat support environment. In other embodiments, the end surface of the first bump 3233a may be slightly recessed with respect to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, so as to satisfy the connection requirement of the first arc-shaped arm 3233 and the supporting requirement of the screen 2. At this time, since the opening area of the first avoiding hole 412 is smaller, and the end surface of the first bump 3233a is recessed to a shallower extent with respect to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, when the area of the bent portion 22 of the screen 2 corresponding to the first avoiding hole 412 is pressed or bumped, the risk of occurrence of significant recess or damage is smaller, and the reliability of the screen 2 is higher.
The second bump 3243a may occupy a majority of the space of the second relief hole 413 when the folding assembly 12 is in the unfolded state. In some embodiments, the end face of the second bump 3243a may be flush with the support face 411 of the main support plate 41 to achieve a splice, thereby providing a more complete and flat support environment. In other embodiments, the end surface of the second bump 3243a may be slightly recessed with respect to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, so as to satisfy the connection requirement of the second arc-shaped arm 3243 and the supporting requirement of the screen 2. At this time, since the opening area of the second avoidance hole 413 is smaller, and the end surface of the second bump 3243a is recessed to a shallower extent relative to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, when the area of the bent portion 22 of the screen 2 corresponding to the second avoidance hole 413 is pressed or bumped, the risk of occurrence of significant recess or damage is smaller, and the reliability of the screen 2 is higher.
In other embodiments, the first arc-shaped arm 3233 and the second arc-shaped arm 3243 may have enough radian matching with the main support plate 41 through structural design or dimensional design, and the main support plate 41 may not have the first avoiding hole 412 and the second avoiding hole 413, so that the main support plate 41 has higher integrity and can better support the bending portion 22 of the screen 2.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first end 3231 of the first link arm 323 may be rotatably coupled to the main shaft 31 by way of a solid shaft connection; and/or the first end 3241 of the second connecting arm 324 may be rotatably coupled to the main shaft 31 by way of a solid shaft connection, which is not strictly limited in this application.

Wherein the mating face 3235b of the first mating block 3235a contacts the mating wall face 3213a of the first mating groove 3213. The second coupling block 3245a of the second coupling arm 324 may be mounted to the second coupling groove 3223 of the second fixing frame 322 to be coupled with the second coupling groove 3223 of the second fixing frame 322. Wherein the mating face 3245b of the second mating block 3245a contacts the mating wall 3223a of the second mating groove 3223.
In this embodiment, the contact structure between the mating surface and the mating wall increases the contact area between the mating block and the fixing frame, so as to increase the connection stability between the connecting arm and the fixing frame and improve the reliability of the folding assembly 12.
Illustratively, the mating surface 3235b of the first mating block 3235a and/or the mating wall surface 3213a of the first mating groove 3213 may be an arcuate surface, where the mating surface 3235b of the first mating block 3235a forms an arcuate overlap with the mating wall surface 3213a of the first mating groove 3213. The mating surface 3245b of the second mating block 3245a and/or the mating wall 3223a of the second mating groove 3223 may be cambered surfaces, and the mating surface 3245b of the second mating block 3245a and the mating wall 3223a of the second mating groove 3223 form a cambered surface overlap joint.
In this embodiment, the above-mentioned cambered surface overlap joint structure has increased the connection stability of linking arm and mount in folding subassembly 12 motion process for the relative motion of linking arm and mount is more steady, has improved folding subassembly 12 reliability.

In the present application, two ends of the first connecting arm 323 of the top connecting component 32 are respectively rotatably connected with the main shaft 31 and the first fixing frame 321, so as to form a connecting rod structure, and a rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 is rotatably connected with the main shaft 31, and a sliding end is slidably connected with the first fixing frame 321, so as to form a connecting rod sliding block structure; the two ends of the second connecting arm 324 are respectively and rotatably connected with the main shaft 31 and the second fixing frame 322 to form a connecting rod structure, and the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326 is rotatably connected with the main shaft 31 and the sliding end is slidably connected with the second fixing frame 322 to form a connecting rod sliding block structure.
The first fixing frame 321 is used for connecting the first shell 11, the second fixing frame 322 is used for connecting the second shell 13, therefore, the top connecting component 32 of the folding component 12 is connected between the first shell 11 and the second shell 13 and the main shaft 31 through a connecting rod structure and a connecting rod sliding block structure, the number of components is small, the matching relation and the matching position are simple, the components are easy to manufacture and assemble, mass production is facilitated, and the cost of the shell device 1 is reduced. In addition, since the main shaft 31 is linked with the first fixing frame 321 through the first connecting arm 323 and the first swing arm 325 and is linked with the second fixing frame 322 through the second connecting arm 324 and the second swing arm 326, the movement track of the folding assembly 12 is accurate, and the folding assembly 12 has better mechanism tensile capacity and mechanism anti-extrusion capacity.
As shown in fig. 30, in the open state, the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 rotates into the main shaft 31, the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326 rotates into the main shaft 31, the sliding end 3252 of the first swing arm 325 slides into the first fixed frame 321, the sliding end 3262 of the second swing arm 326 slides into the second fixed frame 322, and the distances between the first fixed frame 321 and the second fixed frame 322 and the main shaft 31 are smaller.
As shown in fig. 31, in the closed state, the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 partially rotates out of the main shaft 31, the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326 partially rotates out of the main shaft 31, the sliding end 3252 of the first swing arm 325 partially slides out of the first fixed frame 321, the sliding end 3262 of the second swing arm 326 partially slides out of the second fixed frame 322, and the distances between the first fixed frame 321 and the second fixed frame 322 and the main shaft 31 are large.
Thus, the folder assembly 12 is able to draw the first and second housings 11 and 13, respectively, by the first and second holders 321 and 322 in the opened state, such that the first and second housings 11 and 13 are close to the main shaft 31; in the closed state, the first casing 11 and the second casing 13 are respectively pushed away by the first fixing frame 321 and the second fixing frame 322, so that the first casing 11 and the second casing 13 are far away from the main shaft 31, the structure of the folding assembly 12 can be better adapted to the deformation structure of the screen 2, the risk of pulling or pressing the screen 2 is reduced, and the reliability of the screen 2 and the electronic equipment 200 is improved.
In addition, as shown in fig. 30 and 31, since the damping component 327 is connected between the first swing arm 325 and the second swing arm 326, the damping component 327 can provide damping force and pushing force when the first swing arm 325 and the second swing arm 326 move, the first swing arm 325 can be connected with the first housing 11 through the first fixing frame 321, the first swing arm 325 moves along with the first housing 11, the second swing arm 326 can be connected with the second housing 13 through the second fixing frame 322, and the second swing arm 326 moves along with the second housing 13, so that in the process of relatively unfolding or folding the first housing 11 and the second housing 13, the damping component 327 can provide damping force, so that a user can sense resistance and pushing force when unfolding or folding the electronic device 200, thereby obtaining better hand opening and closing experience, and improving the mechanism operation experience of the electronic device 200. In addition, the damping assembly 327 may further enable the first swing arm 325 and the second swing arm 326 to stay at certain positions, so that the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 can stay at certain positions, and thus the open state or the closed state can be better maintained, so as to improve the use experience of the user.
In addition, the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 is meshed with the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326 through a plurality of synchronizing gears 3273, so that the rotating angle of the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 is the same as the rotating angle of the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326, and the directions of the rotating angles are opposite, so that the rotating actions of the first swing arm 325 and the second swing arm 326 relative to the main shaft 31 keep synchronous, that is, the rotating actions of the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 relative to the main shaft 31 keep synchronous, and the mechanism operation experience of a user is improved.
It is understood that the number, size, etc. of the synchronizing gears 3273 may be designed according to the specific form, size, etc. of the product, which is not strictly limited in the present application. The more the number of the synchronizing gears 3273, the smaller the size of the synchronizing gears 3273, so that more space can be released, the fewer the number of the synchronizing gears 3273, the larger the size of the synchronizing gears 3273, the smaller the transmission accumulated error of the synchronizing gears 3273, and the improvement of the motion accuracy is facilitated.
It is understood that the damping assembly 327 of the present application may have a variety of implementations. For example, in other embodiments, the damping assembly 327 may indirectly define the position of the first swing arm 325 and the position of the second swing arm 326 by defining the position of the synchronizing gear 3273. For example, the first and second locking members 3271 and 3272 and the synchronizing gear 3273 form a locking structure therebetween, and the rotating ends 3251 and 3261 of the first and second swing arms 325 and 326 do not have a locking structure therebetween. In other embodiments, the damping assembly 327 may not be provided with the second detent 3272, and the first swing arm 325 and the second swing arm 326 can stay at certain positions through the clamping structure between the first detent 3271 and the synchronizing gear 3273, the first swing arm 325 and the second swing arm 326. In other embodiments, the damping component 327 may not be provided with a fixing plate, and two ends of the elastic member 3276 may respectively abut against the first clamping member 3271 and the wall surface of the first installation space, and the elastic member 3276 is compressed between the first clamping member 3271 and the main shaft 31. In other embodiments, the damper assembly 327 may not include the synchronizing gear 3273 and the third transfer shaft 3279, and the rotational end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 is directly engaged with the rotational end 3261 of the second swing arm 326. The above embodiments are exemplary structures of the damping assembly 327, and other implementation structures of the damping assembly 327 are possible, which are not strictly limited in this application.
In other embodiments, the damping component 327 connecting the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 and the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326 may not be disposed between the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 and the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326, and the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 may be rotatably connected to the main shaft 31 through a rotating shaft, which may be a part of the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325 or a separate structural member and is inserted into the rotating end 3251 of the first swing arm 325; the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326 may be rotatably connected to the main shaft 31 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft may be a part of the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326, or may be an independent structural member and is inserted into the rotating end 3261 of the second swing arm 326.
Referring again to fig. 12, 20, 22, and 30, in some embodiments, the folding assembly 12 may provide a damping structure in the first mount 321 for applying a damping force to the sliding end 3252 of the first swing arm 325, and a damping structure in the second mount 322 for applying a damping force to the sliding end 3262 of the second swing arm 326. Illustratively, the first stop 3291 is mounted to the first mounting slot 3215 and the second stop 3292 is mounted to the second mounting slot. When the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, the first stop member 3291 can abut against the sliding end 3252 of the first swing arm 325, the second stop member 3292 abuts against the sliding end 3262 of the second swing arm 326, and the housing device 1 is kept in the open state when no large external force is applied to the housing device, so that the use experience of a user is improved. In addition, the first stopper 3291 and the second stopper 3292 can also provide a limit resistance during the unfolding of the electronic apparatus 200 to enter an open state, and during the folding to release the open state, so that a user can experience a better sense of mechanism operation.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 30 and 31, during the movement of the folding assembly 12, the first swing arm 325 rotates relative to the main shaft 31, and the first avoidance notch 414 of the main support plate 41 is used to avoid the first swing arm 325, so that no interference occurs between the first swing arm 325 and the main support plate 41, so as to ensure the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the mechanism. The second swing arm 326 rotates relative to the main shaft 31, and the second avoidance notch 415 of the main support plate 41 is used for avoiding the second swing arm 326, so that no interference occurs between the second swing arm 326 and the main support plate 41, and smooth and reliable movement of the mechanism is ensured.
When the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, the first splicing block 3251e of the first swing arm 325 is at least partially located in the first avoidance gap 414 of the main support plate 41, and the second splicing block 3261e of the second swing arm 326 is at least partially located in the second avoidance gap 415 of the main support plate 41. As shown in fig. 31, when the folding assembly 12 is in the closed state, the first splicing block 3251e of the first swing arm 325 is turned into the movable space 41a of the main shaft 31, and the second splicing block 3261e of the second swing arm 326 is turned into the movable space 41a of the main shaft 31.
In this embodiment, when the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, since the first splicing block 3251e is at least partially located in the first avoidance gap 414, the first avoidance gap 414 can be filled, and the second splicing block 3261e is at least partially located in the second avoidance gap 415, the second avoidance gap 415 can be filled, and the main supporting plate 41, the first splicing block 3251e and the second splicing block 3261e can be used for supporting the bending portion 22 of the screen 2 together, so that the main supporting plate 41 provides a relatively complete supporting environment for the bending portion 22 of the screen 2, so as to improve the reliability of the screen 2.
Illustratively, the first splice block 3251e can occupy a majority of the space of the first avoidance gap 414 when the folding assembly 12 is in the open state. In some embodiments, the end face of the first splice block 3251e may be flush with the support face 411 of the main support plate 41 to achieve a splice, thereby providing a more complete and flat support environment. In other embodiments, the end surface of the first splicing block 3251e may be slightly recessed with respect to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, so as to satisfy the connection requirement of the first connecting arm 323 and the supporting requirement of the screen 2. At this time, by controlling the concave degree of the end face of the first splicing block 3251e relative to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41 to be shallow enough, when the area of the bending portion 22 of the screen 2 corresponding to the first avoiding notch 414 is pressed or bumped, the risk of occurrence of obvious concave or damage is small, and the reliability of the screen 2 is high. In other embodiments, the end surface of the first splicing block 3251e may be flush with the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, but a certain gap is formed between the two, so that the splicing is not formed, but the structure can still provide a better supporting environment for the screen 2.
The second splice block 3261e can occupy a majority of the space of the second avoidance gap 415. In some embodiments, the end face of the second splice block 3261e may be flush with the support face 411 of the main support plate 41 to achieve a splice, thereby providing a more complete and flat support environment. In other embodiments, the end surface of the second splicing block 3261e may be slightly recessed with respect to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, so as to satisfy the connection requirement of the second connecting arm 324 and the supporting requirement of the screen 2. At this time, by controlling the concave degree of the end face of the second splicing block 3261e relative to the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41 to be shallow enough, when the area of the bending portion 22 of the screen 2 corresponding to the second avoiding notch 415 is pressed or bumped, the risk of occurrence of obvious concave or damage is small, and the reliability of the screen 2 is high. In other embodiments, the end surface of the second splicing block 3261e may be flush with the supporting surface 411 of the main supporting plate 41, but a certain gap is formed between the two, so that the splicing is not formed, but the structure can still provide a better supporting environment for the screen 2.
For example, when the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, the end face of the first splicing block 3251e, the end face of the second splicing block 3261e and the supporting face 411 of the main supporting plate 41 are flush, and are located on the same plane, so as to jointly support the bending portion 22 of the screen 2, and provide a relatively complete and flat supporting environment for the bending portion 22 of the screen 2, so as to improve the reliability of the screen 2.
The end surface of the first splicing block 3251e, the end surface of the second splicing block 3261e and the supporting surface of the main supporting plate can be spliced to improve the integrity of the supporting environment. In other embodiments, a certain gap may be formed between at least two of the end face of the first splicing block 3251e, the end face of the second splicing block 3261e, and the supporting surface of the main supporting plate, which is not strictly limited in the embodiments of the present application.
In addition, when the folding assembly 12 is in the closed state, the first splicing block 3251e and the second splicing block 3261e can be further turned into the movable space 41a of the main shaft 31, so that the accommodating space of the folding assembly 12 for accommodating the screen 2 is not affected, and the reliability of the folding assembly 12 is improved. In addition, when the folding assembly 12 is in the closed state, the connecting section 3253 of the first swing arm 325 and the connecting section 3263 of the second swing arm 326 can approach each other through the first avoiding notch 414 and the second avoiding notch 415, and the distance between the two is smaller, so that the folding assembly 12 integrally forms a water drop-like accommodating space.

In some embodiments, the first support plate 35 is slidably coupled to the sliding end 3252 of the first swing arm 325 and the second support plate 36 is slidably coupled to the sliding end 3262 of the second swing arm 326.

Therefore, the first support plate 35 and the second support plate 36 can move along with the connecting assembly, and the movement track is accurate, so that the reliability of the folding assembly 12 is higher.
In the closed state, as shown in fig. 34 and 36, the first support plate 35, the main shaft 31 and the second support plate 36 of the folding assembly 12 together enclose a water drop-like accommodating space for accommodating the screen 2, so that the screen 2 can be accommodated inside the folding assembly 12, and is not easy to damage and has high reliability. In addition, in some positions of the folding assembly 12, the moving parts of the plurality of connecting assemblies (32, 33, 34) of the folding assembly 12 can be matched with the first supporting plate 35, the main shaft 31 and the second supporting plate 36 so as to jointly surround a more complete water-drop-shaped accommodating space.

Referring again to fig. 35, when the folding assembly 12 is in the open state, the first splicing block 3251e of the first swing arm 325 is at least partially located in the first avoiding notch 414 of the main support plate 41, and the second splicing block 3261e of the second swing arm 326 is at least partially located in the second avoiding notch 415 of the main support plate 41.

The supporting surface 351 of the first supporting plate 35 may be a flat surface, so as to provide a better supporting environment for the bent portion 22 of the screen 2. Alternatively, the support surface 351 of the first support plate 35 may be provided with one or more grooves having a very shallow depth, which may be used, but not limited to, for coating or mounting an adhesive layer, through which the bent portion 22 of the screen 2 is connected. It will be appreciated that the depth of the grooves of this portion is small, and the area of the screen 2 corresponding to this portion of grooves will not be significantly recessed when subjected to external pressure (e.g. a user's pressing force), so that the reliability of the screen 2 is high and the service life is long.
The supporting surface 361 of the second supporting plate 36 may be a flat surface to provide a better supporting environment for the bent portion 22 of the screen 2.
