一种转轴装置、支撑***和折叠屏设备
本申请要求于2022年06月23日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210720781.6、发明名称为“一种转轴装置、支撑***和折叠屏设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及可折叠电子产品技术领域,尤其涉及一种转轴装置、支撑***和折叠屏设备。
背景技术
目前,为了解决传统平板设备尺寸大、不方便携带的问题,折叠屏设备应运而生。折叠屏设备的支撑***包括两侧壳体以及连接于两侧壳体之间的转轴装置。在电子设备折叠过程中,两侧壳体相对于转轴装置转动,转轴装置内零部件产生了相对运动和剐蹭,容易产生噪音,导致折叠屏设备的用户体验较低。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种转轴装置、支撑***和折叠屏设备,用于解决如何降低折叠屏设备内转轴装置在运动过程中产生的噪音的问题。
为达到上述目的,本申请的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供了一种转轴装置,该转轴装置包括第一主支撑件、第二主支撑件、第一副支撑件和润滑结构。第一主支撑件具有第一支撑面,第二主支撑件具有第二支撑面,第一支撑面和第二支撑面均用于支撑部分折叠屏。第二主支撑件能够相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动。第一副支撑件包括固定连接的第一连接部和第一悬臂部,第一连接部位于第二支撑面所朝向的一侧并连接于第二主支撑件上,第一悬臂部包括第一悬臂段,第一悬臂段位于第一支撑面所朝向的一侧,当第二主支撑件相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一悬臂段的至少部分相对于第一主支撑件滑动。润滑结构至少设置于第一悬臂段的该至少部分与第一主支撑件之间。
其中,润滑结构可以为表面爽滑结构,也即是,润滑结构可以为表面摩擦系数小于0.25的一类结构。具体的,润滑结构为表面摩擦系数可以为0.24、0.23、0.2、0.1、0.05、0.02或者0.01等等。在此基础上,润滑结构的材料包括但不限于含有氟元素的化合物,示例的,润滑结构的材料为聚四氟乙烯。在其他一些实施例中,润滑结构的材料也可以为聚甲醛(polyoxymethylene,POM)。这样,润滑结构通过减小表面摩擦系数,来达到降低噪声的目的。
润滑结构也可以为软质弹性结构。润滑结构的材料包括但不限于含有聚氨酯、橡胶、乳胶等具有弹性的材料。这样,润滑结构通过避免相互剐蹭的两个结构之间硬接触,来达到降低噪声的目的。
这样一来,第一悬臂段的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件之间借助润滑结构进行润滑,防止第一悬臂段的该至少部分与第一主支撑件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而提升 折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第二主支撑件与第一主支撑件之间,以及第三主支撑件与第一主支撑件之间可以借助转轴直接可转动连接,也可以借助铰链机构、四杆机构等中间传动机构可转动连接,还可以借助皮革、布料等软质材料可转动连接,在此不做具体限定。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一副支撑件呈片状,当第二主支撑件相对于第一主支撑件处于展开状态时,第一副支撑件与第一支撑面和第二支撑面层叠设置。第一副支撑件的厚度大于或者等于0.02mm,且小于或者等于0.1mm。这样一来,可以减小转轴装置的厚度,有利于折叠屏设备在展开状态或者折叠状态下的薄型化,同时可以保证第一副支撑件的保证结构强度。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构的材料为含氟元素的化合物。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构的材料为聚四氟乙烯或者聚甲醛。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构包括第一润滑层。第一润滑层设置于第一悬臂段的上述至少部分朝向第一主支撑件的表面。此结构简单,润滑结构的设置区域较小,成本较低。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一悬臂段的远离第一连接部的一端为第一端,第一端形成第一悬臂部的远离第一连接部的一端。润滑结构还包括第二润滑层。第二润滑层设置于第一端的端面。这样一来,第一悬臂段与第一主支撑件之间可以借助第二润滑层润滑,能够在一定程度上降低噪声。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构还包括第三润滑层。第三润滑层设置于第一悬臂段的背对第一主支撑件的表面。这样一来,在采用喷涂、淋涂、电化学沉积、电镀等工艺成型第二润滑层的过程中,也一并成型第三润滑层,因此无需遮盖第三表面,加工过程简单,操作方便。当采用胶粘方式在第一悬臂部的表面设置第二润滑层时,可以采用胶粘方式将第三润滑层固定于第三表面,同时可以将第二润滑层与第三润滑层设计成一个薄膜整体,以增大润滑结构与第一副支撑件之间的粘接面积,提高粘接强度,延长使用寿命。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一主支撑件与第二主支撑件之间具有第一空隙。第一悬臂部还包括第二悬臂段,第二悬臂段位于第一空隙朝向折叠屏的一侧。润滑结构还设置于第二悬臂段与第一空隙之间。这样一来,第二悬臂段与第一空隙内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构进行润滑,防止第二悬臂段与第一空隙内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,转轴装置还包括第三主支撑件和第二副支撑件。第三主支撑件位于第一主支撑件的远离第二主支撑件的一侧。第三主支撑面具有第三支撑面,第三支撑面也用于支撑部分折叠屏。第三主支撑件也能够相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动。第二副支撑件包括固定连接的第二连接部和第二悬臂部,第二连接部位于第三支撑面所朝向的一侧并连接于第三主支撑件上,第二悬臂部包括第三悬臂段,该第三悬臂段位于第一支撑面所朝向的一侧,当第三主支撑件相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第三悬臂段的至少部分相对于第一主支撑件滑动。润滑结构还至少设置于第三悬臂段的该至少部分与第一 主支撑件之间。这样一来,第三悬臂段的该至少部分与第一主支撑件之间也借助润滑结构进行润滑,防止第三悬臂段的该至少部分与第一主支撑件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一主支撑件与第三主支撑件之间具有第二空隙。第二悬臂部还包括第四悬臂段,第四悬臂段位于第二空隙朝向折叠屏的一侧。润滑结构还设置于第四悬臂段与第二空隙之间。这样一来,第四悬臂段与第二空隙内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构进行润滑,防止第四悬臂段与第二空隙内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构包括第一润滑膜和第二润滑膜。第一润滑膜包括第一固定段和第一自由段,第一固定段固定于第一副支撑件朝向第一主支撑件和第二主支撑件的表面,第一自由段位于第一固定段靠近第三主支撑件的一侧。第二润滑膜包括第二固定段和第二自由段,第二固定段固定于第二副支撑件朝向第一主支撑件和第三主支撑件的表面,第二自由段位于第二固定段靠近第二主支撑件的一侧。第二自由段与第一自由段层叠设置。这样一来,第一润滑膜和第二润滑膜交错设置,能够起到润滑的作用,并降低噪声。同时,第二主支撑件和第三主支撑件相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一润滑膜和第二润滑膜可以产生相对滑动,可以避免对第一副支撑件和第二副支撑件的相对远离或者靠近运动产生影响。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构包括第三润滑膜。第三润滑膜包括第一润滑膜区域、第二润滑膜区域和第三润滑膜区域。第一润滑膜区域固定于第一副支撑件朝向第一主支撑件和第二主支撑件的表面,第二润滑膜区域固定于第二副支撑件朝向第一主支撑件和第三主支撑件的表面,第三润滑膜区域连接于第一润滑膜区域与第二润滑膜区域之间。由第一润滑膜区域指向第二润滑膜区域的方向,第三润滑膜区域可弹性伸缩。这样一来,当第二主支撑件和第三主支撑件由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,第三润滑膜区域处于拉伸状态并积蓄弹性力,当第二主支撑件和第三主支撑件由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,第三润滑膜区域在积蓄的弹性力下收缩。由此,第二主支撑件和第三主支撑件相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第三润滑膜区域产生弹性伸缩,可以避免对第一副支撑件和第二副支撑件的相对远离或者靠近运动产生影响。同时,本实施例所述转轴装置借助第三润滑膜可以同时对第一副支撑件和第二副支撑件起到润滑的作用,并降低噪声,因此,转轴装置的组成结构简单,容易实现。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构还可以包括第四润滑膜和第五润滑膜。第四润滑膜的一端固定于第一副支撑件朝向第一主支撑件和第二主支撑件的表面,另一端固定于第一主支撑件上。第四润滑膜由固定第一副支撑件的一端至固定第一主支撑件的一端可弹性伸缩。一些实施例中,第四润滑膜的某一段或者整体为软质弹性结构,具体的,软质弹性结构的材料包括但不限于含有聚氨酯、橡胶、乳胶等具有弹性的材料。第五润滑膜的一端固定于第二副支撑件朝向第一主支撑件和第三主支撑件的表面,另一端固定于第一主支撑件上。第五润滑膜由固定第二副支撑件的一端至固定第一主支撑件的一端可弹性伸缩。这样一来,当第二主支撑件和第三主支撑件 由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,第四润滑膜和第五润滑膜弹性伸缩,可以避免对第一副支撑件和第二副支撑件的相对远离或者靠近运动产生影响。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,转轴装置还包括第三主支撑件。第三主支撑件位于第一主支撑件的远离第二主支撑件的一侧。第三主支撑面具有第三支撑面,第三支撑面也用于支撑部分折叠屏。第三主支撑件也能够相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动。第一悬臂部还包括第五悬臂段,第五悬臂段位于第一悬臂段远离第一连接部的一侧,第五悬臂段位于第三支撑面所朝向的一侧。润滑结构还设置于第五悬臂段的至少部分与第三主支撑件之间。这样一来,第五悬臂段的该至少部分与第三主支撑件之间也借助润滑结构润滑,防止第五悬臂段的该至少部分与第三主支撑件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,润滑结构包括第四润滑层。第四润滑层设置于第一支撑面上。这样一来,第一副支撑件的第一悬臂段与第一主支撑件之间,以及第二副支撑件的第三悬臂段与第一主支撑件之间可以借助第四润滑层润滑,防止第一悬臂段与第一主支撑件之间,以及第三悬臂段与第一主支撑件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。而且借助第四润滑层,即可同时实现第一副支撑件与第一主支撑件之间,以及第二副支撑件与第一主支撑件之间的润滑,因此有利于降低转轴装置的结构复杂度。
第二方面,还提供了一种转轴装置,该转轴装置包括第一主支撑件、第二主支撑件、第一副支撑件和润滑结构。第一主支撑件具有第一支撑面,第二主支撑件具有第二支撑面,第一支撑面和第二支撑面均用于支撑部分折叠屏。第二主支撑件能够相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动。第一副支撑件包括固定连接的第一连接部和第一悬臂部,第一连接部位于第一支撑面所朝向的一侧并连接于第一主支撑件上,第一悬臂部包括第一悬臂段,第一悬臂段位于第二支撑面所朝向的一侧,当第二主支撑件相对于第一主支撑件在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一悬臂段的至少部分相对于第二主支撑件滑动。润滑结构至少设置于第一悬臂段的该至少部分与第二主支撑件之间。
其中,润滑结构可以为表面爽滑结构,也即是,润滑结构可以为表面摩擦系数小于0.25的一类结构。具体的,润滑结构为表面摩擦系数可以为0.24、0.23、0.2、0.1、0.05、0.02或者0.01等等。在此基础上,润滑结构的材料包括但不限于含有氟元素的化合物,示例的,润滑结构的材料为聚四氟乙烯。在其他一些实施例中,润滑结构的材料也可以为聚甲醛(polyoxymethylene,POM)。这样,润滑结构通过减小表面摩擦系数,来达到降低噪声的目的。

请参阅图1和图2,图1为本申请一些实施例提供的折叠屏设备100在展开状态下的立体图,图2为图1所示折叠屏设备100的局部分解结构示意图。本实施例以及下文各实施例是以折叠屏设备100为具有无线通信功能的手持设备进行示例性说明,该具有无线通信功能的手持设备例如可以是手机。折叠屏设备100在展开状态下近似呈矩形平板状。为了方便后文各实施例的描述,针对处于展开状态下的折叠屏设备100,建立XYZ坐标系,定义折叠屏设备100的长度方向为X轴方向,折叠屏设备100的宽度方向为Y轴方向,折叠屏设备100的厚度方向为Z轴方向。可以理解的是,折叠屏设备100的坐标系设置可以根据实际需要进行灵活设置,在此不做具体限定。在其他一些实施例中,折叠屏设备100的形状也可以为方形平板状、圆形平板状、椭圆形平板状等等。

可以理解的是,图4示意性的示出了转轴装置23包括的一些部件,这些部件的实际形状、实际大小、实际位置和实际构造不受图4的限制。在其他一些示例中,转轴装置23还可以包括基座、轴盖和摆臂等结构。
第一主支撑件231用于承载部分折叠屏10。具体的,第一主支撑件231用于承载第三显示区域10c的圆弧段10c3。
第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233分别位于第一主支撑件231的相对两侧。第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233也用于承载部分折叠屏10。具体的,第二主支撑件232用于承载第三显示区域10c的第一过渡段10c1,第三主支撑件233用于承载第三显示区域10c的第二过渡段10c2。第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233均能够相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动,以支持第三显示区域10c在展开状态与折叠状态之间折叠。
具体的,第一主支撑件231具有第一支撑面m1,第一主支撑件231借助第一支撑面m1支撑圆弧段10c3。第二主支撑件232具有第二支撑面m2,第二主支撑件232借助第二支撑面m2支撑第一过渡段10c1。第三主支撑件233具有第三支撑面m3,第三主支撑件233借助第三支撑面m3支撑第二过渡段10c2。图4所示转轴装置23处于展开状态,在此状态下,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233处于展开位置,第一支撑面m1、第二支撑面m2和第三支撑面m3大致共面设置,也即是第一支撑面m1与第二支撑面m2之间的夹角大致呈180°,第一支撑面m1与第三支撑面m3之间的夹角也大致呈180°,以使支撑于其上的第三显示区域10c处于展开状态。当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,包括转轴装置23的支撑***20以及包括该支撑***20的折叠屏设备也处于展开状态,第一壳体21与第二壳体22之间的夹角,以及第一显示区域10a与第二显示区域10b之间的夹角也大致呈180°。
请参阅图5,图5为图4所示转轴装置23处于折叠状态时的结构示意图。在此状态下,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233处于折叠位置,第二支撑面m2与第三支撑面m3相对设置,且第二支撑面m2和第三支撑面m3相对于第一支撑面m1倾斜或者垂直设置,以使支撑于其上的第三显示区域10c处于折叠状态。当转轴装置23处于折叠状态时,包括转轴装置23的支撑***20以及包括该支撑***20的折叠屏设备也处于折叠状态,第一壳体21与第二壳体22之间的夹角,以及第一显示区域10a与第二显示区域10b之间的夹角也大致呈0°。
一些实施例中,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由展开位置至折叠位置所转动的角度分别为θ1和θ2,在图5所示的实施例中,转动角度θ1和θ2均大于90°。这样,可以将第三显示区域10c折叠成水滴状。在其他一些实施例中,转动角度θ1和θ2也可以小于或者等于90°,以将第三显示区域10c折叠成其他形状,本申请对此不作具体限定。
第二主支撑件232与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第三主支撑件233与第一主支撑件231之间可以借助转轴直接可转动连接,也可以借助铰链机构、四杆机构等中间 传动机构可转动连接,还可以借助皮革、布料等软质材料可转动连接,在此不做具体限定。
假设第二主支撑件232相对于第一主支撑件231的转动轴线为第一轴线O1,第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231的转动轴线为第二轴线O2。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4和图5,第二主支撑件232绕第一轴线O1在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动的过程中,还向靠近或者远离第一轴线O1的方向移动。比如,第二主支撑件232在绕第一轴线O1由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,还向远离第一轴线O1的方向移动。第二主支撑件232在绕第一轴线O1由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,还向靠近第一轴线O1的方向移动。同样的,第三主支撑件233绕第二轴线O2在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动的过程中,还向靠近或者远离第二轴线O2的方向移动。比如,第三主支撑件233在绕第二轴线O2由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,还向远离第二轴线O2的方向移动。第三主支撑件233在绕第二轴线O2由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,还向靠近第二轴线O2的方向移动。这样一来,当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由展开位置转动至折叠位置时,第一主支撑件231的位置可以相对于第一壳体和第二壳体下降一定高度,以避让第三显示区域10c,降低第三显示区域10c出现折叠损坏的可能性。
在其他一些实施例中,第二主支撑件232绕第一轴线O1在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动的过程中,也可以与第一轴线O1的距离保持不变。同理的,第三主支撑件233绕第二轴线O2在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动的过程中,也可以与第二轴线O2的距离保持不变,在此不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,请参阅图4和图5,第一主支撑件231可以相对于第一轴线O1和第二轴线O2位置固定。此结构简单,容易实现。
在其他一些实施例中,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一主支撑件231也可以相对于第一轴线O1和第二轴线O2沿Z轴升降。比如,当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,第一主支撑件231相对于第一轴线O1和第二轴线O2沿Z轴下降;当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,第一主支撑件231相对于第一轴线O1和第二轴线O2沿Z轴上升。本申请对此不做具体限定,只要第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233能够相对于第一主支撑件231转动即可。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4,第一主支撑件231与第二主支撑件232之间具有第一空隙d1,第一主支撑件231与第三主支撑件233之间具有第二空隙d2。这样,第一主支撑件231与第二主支撑件232之间,以及第一主支撑件231与第三主支撑件233之间预留有一定的空隙,避免第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第二主支撑件232与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第三主支撑件233与第一主支撑件231之间产生相互碰撞、摩擦甚至卡死。
上述实施例中的空隙部位不能对折叠屏10形成有效的支撑,当用户按压折叠屏10上与空隙相对的部分时,折叠屏10容易产生弯折变形,折叠屏设备产生损坏失效的风险较大。
为了避免上述问题,请参阅图6,图6为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,转轴装置23除了包括第一主支撑件231、第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233之外,还包括第一副支撑件234。
在一些实施例中,第一副支撑件234整体呈片状。在此基础上,可选的,当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第一副支撑件234层叠设置于第一主支撑件231的第一支撑面m1以及第二主支撑件232的第二支撑面m2上,也即是,第一副支撑件234大致与第一支撑面m1、第二支撑面m2平行。这样一来,可以减小转轴装置23在Z轴方向上的厚度,有利于折叠屏设备100在展开状态或者折叠状态下的薄型化。
在上述实施例的基础上,可选的,第一副支撑件234的厚度可以大于或者等于0.02毫米(mm),且小于或者等于0.10mm。具体的,第一副支撑件234的厚度可以为0.02mm、0.03mm、0.04mm、0.05mm、0.06mm、0.07mm、0.08mm、0.09mm或者0.1mm。这样,第一副支撑件234的厚度适中,在保证结构强度的同时,还能够兼顾转轴装置23在Z轴方向上的厚度,有利于折叠屏设备100在展开状态或者折叠状态下的薄型化。
在其他一些实施例中,第一副支撑件234也可以呈板状、块状、条状等等,在此不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,第一副支撑件234可以具有弹性。这样,当第二主支撑件232相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一副支撑件234可以随着折叠屏10一起被折弯,避免影响折叠屏10的弯折效果。
在一些实施例中,第一副支撑件234的材料包括但不限于钢、钛合金等金属,以及含有玻璃纤维、碳纤维、芳纶纤维等纤维材料的复合材料。其中,钢为含碳量质量百分比介于0.02%至2.11%之间的铁碳合金。这些材料的结构强度较优,在保证第一副支撑件234的支撑强度的同时,有利于减小第一副支撑件234的厚度,以利于折叠屏设备100的薄型化。同时,这些材料为弹塑性材料,当第一副支撑件234呈片状时,第一副支撑件234具有弹性,第一副支撑件234能够随着折叠屏10一起被折弯。
请继续参阅图6,第一副支撑件234包括固定连接的第一连接部2341和第一悬臂部2342。第一连接部2341位于第二主支撑件232的前侧,也即是,第一连接部2341位于第二主支撑件232的第二支撑面m2所朝向的一侧,且第一连接部2341在第二支撑面m2上的正投影位于第二支撑面m2内。
在上述基础上,一些实施例中,第一连接部2341连接于第二主支撑件232上。可选的,请参阅图6,第一连接部2341可以借助胶粘剂C固定连接于第二主支撑件232上,在其他一些实施例中,第一连接部2341也可以借助螺钉、卡扣等结构固定连接于第二主支撑件232上,或者,借助转轴、柔性结构等可转动连接于第二主支撑件232上,在此不做具体限定。
第一连接部2341可以直接连接于第二主支撑件232上,也可以连接于与第二主支撑件232相对固定的其他结构上,在此不做具体限定。
第一悬臂部2342呈悬臂状。第一悬臂部2342包括第一悬臂段2342a。第一悬臂段2342a是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第一悬臂部2342上位于第一支撑面m1所朝向的一侧,且在第一支撑面m1上的正投影位于第一支撑面m1内的部分。
这样一来,第一副支撑件234横跨在第一空隙d1上,第一副支撑件234至少一部 分覆盖在第一空隙d1上。具体的,第一悬臂部2342还可以包括第二悬臂段2342b。第二悬臂段2342b位于第一连接部2341与第一悬臂段2342a之间。第二悬臂段2342b是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第一悬臂部2342上位于第一空隙d1朝向折叠屏10的一侧,且沿Z轴方向在第一空隙d1内的投影位于第一空隙d1内的部分。这样一来,第二悬臂段2342b覆盖在第一空隙d1上。在将转轴装置23应用于折叠屏设备100时,折叠屏10位于第一副支撑件234远离第一主支撑件231和第二主支撑件232的一侧,转轴装置23借助第一副支撑件234的第二悬臂段2342b对折叠屏10上与第一空隙d1相对的部分进行支撑,可以提高转轴装置23的支撑性能。
但是,上述实施例所述转轴装置23中,当第二主支撑件232相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一悬臂段2342a的整体或者部分(也即是第一悬臂段2342a的至少部分)与第一主支撑件231接触并相对于第一主支撑件231滑动。举例说明,请参阅图7,图7为图6所示转轴装置23中第二主支撑件232相对于第一主支撑件231沿方向a1由展开位置向折叠位置转动时的结构示意图,第一悬臂段2342a的整体与第一主支撑件231接触并相对于第一主支撑件231沿方向a2向左滑动。这样一来,第一悬臂段2342a的整体与第一主支撑件231之间产生了剐蹭,并产生噪声,导致折叠屏设备的用户体验较低。
为了降低折叠屏设备的噪声,在一些实施例中,请参阅图8,图8为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,转轴装置23除了包括第一主支撑件231、第二主支撑件232、第三主支撑件233和第一副支撑件234之外,还包括润滑结构236。
润滑结构236至少设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间。
润滑结构236可以为表面爽滑结构,也即是,润滑结构236可以为表面摩擦系数小于0.25的一类结构。具体的,润滑结构236为表面摩擦系数可以为0.24、0.23、0.2、0.1、0.05、0.02或者0.01等等。在此基础上,润滑结构236的材料包括但不限于含有氟元素的化合物,示例的,润滑结构236的材料为聚四氟乙烯。在其他一些实施例中,润滑结构236的材料也可以为聚甲醛(polyoxymethylene,POM)。这样,润滑结构236通过减小表面摩擦系数,来达到降低噪声的目的。
润滑结构236也可以为软质弹性结构。润滑结构236的材料包括但不限于含有聚氨酯、橡胶、乳胶等具有弹性的材料。这样,润滑结构236通过避免相互剐蹭的两个结构之间硬接触,来达到降低噪声的目的。
这样一来,第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
润滑结构236的结构形式有多种。一些实施例中,请继续参阅图8,润滑结构236包括第一润滑层2361。第一润滑层2361设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分朝向第一主支撑件231的表面。假设第一悬臂段2342a的朝向第一主支撑件231的表面为第一表面,第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分朝向第一主支撑件231的表面为第一表面上的第一区域。具体的,第一润滑层2361可以设置于该第一区域的整个区域,也 可以设置于该第一区域的部分区域,本申请对此不做限定。而且,第一润滑层2361除了设置于第一表面的第一区域之外,还可以设置于第一表面的其他区域,图8给出了第一润滑层2361设置于第一表面的整个区域的示例,这不能认为是对本申请构成的特殊限制。此结构简单,润滑结构236的设置区域较小,成本较低。
在又一些实施例中,请参阅图9,图9为本申请又一些实施例提供转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,第一悬臂段2342a的远离第一连接部2341的一端为第一端,该第一端形成第一悬臂部2342的远离第一连接部2341的一端(也称为悬臂端)。在此基础上,润滑结构236还包括第二润滑层2362。第二润滑层2362设置于第一端的端面。假设第一端的端面为第二表面,第二润滑层2362可以设置于该第二表面的部分区域,也可以设置于该第二表面的整个区域,图9给出了第二润滑层2362设置于第二表面的整个区域的示例。这样一来,第一悬臂段2342a与第一主支撑件231之间可以借助第二润滑层2362润滑,能够在一定程度上降低噪声。
在上述实施例中,请参阅图9,润滑结构236可以同时包括第一润滑层2361和第二润滑层2362,这样可以提升润滑效果,进一步降低噪声。在其他一些实施例中,润滑结构236也可以包括第二润滑层2362,而不包括第一润滑层2361,在此不做具体限定。
当润滑结构236同时包括第一润滑层2361和第二润滑层2362时,第二润滑层2362可以与第一润滑层2361相接,也可以与第一润滑层2361不接触,在此不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,上述第一润滑层2361和第二润滑层2362可以与第一悬臂部2342的表面直接接触。具体的,第一润滑层2361和第二润滑层2362可以采用喷涂、淋涂、电化学沉积、电镀等工艺成型于第一悬臂部2342的表面,在此不做具体限定。
在其他一些实施例中,第一润滑层2361和第二润滑层2362均为薄膜结构,第一润滑层2361与第一悬臂部2342的表面之间,以及第二润滑层2362与第一悬臂部2342的表面之间设有胶粘剂,第一润滑层2361和第二润滑层2362借助该胶粘剂粘接于第一悬臂部2342的表面,在此不做具体限定。
在又一些实施例中,请参阅图10,图10为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,润滑结构236除了包括第二润滑层2362之外,还包括第三润滑层2363。第三润滑层2363设置于第一悬臂段2342a的背对第一主支撑件231的表面。假设第一悬臂段2342a的背对第一主支撑件231的表面为第三表面,具体的,第三润滑层2363可以设置于第三表面的整个区域,也可以设置于第三表面的部分区域,图10给出了第三润滑层2363设置于第三表面的整个区域的示例,这不能认为是对本申请构成的特殊限制。
这样一来,在采用喷涂、淋涂、电化学沉积、电镀等工艺成型第二润滑层2362的过程中,也一并成型第三润滑层2363,因此无需遮盖第三表面,加工过程简单,操作方便。当采用胶粘方式在第一悬臂部2342的表面设置第二润滑层2362时,可以采用胶粘方式将第三润滑层2363固定于第三表面,同时可以将第二润滑层2362与第三润滑层2363设计成一个薄膜整体,以增大润滑结构236与第一副支撑件234之间的粘接面积,提高粘接强度,延长使用寿命。
上述第一空隙d1内可能存在摆臂、转轴等结构件,这样,当第二主支撑件232 相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第二悬臂段2342b也相对于第一空隙d1内的摆臂、转轴等结构件滑动,也会产生噪声。
为了解决上述问题,在一些实施例中,请参阅图8、图9或图10,润滑结构236还可以设置于第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1之间。示例的,请参阅图8、图9或图10,第一润滑层2361具有延伸部2361a,该延伸部2361a位于第二悬臂段2342b的朝向第一空隙d1的表面,该延伸部2361a形成第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1之间的部分润滑结构236。当然,第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1之间的部分润滑结构236也可以呈其他结构形态,在此不做具体限定。
这样一来,第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
需要说明的是,润滑结构236除了设置于第一悬臂段2342a与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1之间之外,还可以设置于其他位置,比如设置于第一悬臂部2342上与第二主支撑件232相对的部分上(如图8、图9或图10所示),或者设置于第一连接部2341上,在此不做具体限定。
在上述基础上,请返回参阅图6,为了提升转轴装置23在第二空隙d2处的支撑性能,一些实施例中,可以在第二空隙d2的前侧另外设置一个副支撑件。
具体的,请参阅图11,图11为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,转轴装置23除了包括第一主支撑件231、第二主支撑件232、第三主支撑件233和第一副支撑件234之外,还包括第二副支撑件235。
第二副支撑件235可以与第一副支撑件234的结构形式及材料相同,在此不做具体限定。
第二副支撑件235包括固定连接的第二连接部2351和第二悬臂部2352。第二连接部2351位于第三主支撑件233的前侧,也即是,第二连接部2351位于第三主支撑件233的第三支撑面m3所朝向的一侧,且第二连接部2351在第三支撑面m3上的正投影位于第三支撑面m3内。
在上述基础上,一些实施例中,第二连接部2351连接于第三主支撑件233上。具体的,第二连接部2351在第三主支撑件233上的连接方式可以与前述第一连接部2341在第二主支撑件232上的连接方式相同,在此不作赘述。
第二悬臂部2352呈悬臂状。第二悬臂部2352包括第三悬臂段2352a。第三悬臂段2352a是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第二悬臂部2352上位于第三支撑面m3所朝向的一侧,且在第三支撑面m3上的正投影位于第三支撑面m3内的部分。
这样一来,第二副支撑件235横跨在第二空隙d2上,第二副支撑件235至少一部分覆盖在第二空隙d2上。具体的,第二悬臂部2352还可以包括第四悬臂段2352b。第四悬臂段2352b位于第二连接部2351与第三悬臂段2352a之间。第四悬臂段2352b是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第二悬臂部2352上位于第二空隙d2朝向折叠屏10的一侧,且沿Z轴方向在第二空隙d2内的投影位于第二空隙d2内的部分。这样一来,第四悬臂段2352b覆盖在第二空隙d2上。在将转轴装置23应用于折叠屏设备100时,折叠屏10还位于第二副支撑件235远离第一主支撑件231和第三主支撑件233 的一侧,转轴装置23借助第二副支撑件235的第四悬臂段2352b对折叠屏10上与第二空隙d2相对的部分进行支撑,可以提高转轴装置23的支撑性能。
上述实施例所述转轴装置23中,当第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第三悬臂段2352a的部分或者整体(也即是第三悬臂段2352a的至少部分)也相对于第一主支撑件231滑动。举例说明,请参阅图12,图12为图11所示转轴装置23中第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231沿方向a1由展开位置向折叠位置转动时的结构示意图,第三悬臂段2352a的整体相对于第一主支撑件231沿方向a3向右滑动。这样一来,第三悬臂段2352a与第一主支撑件231之间也产生了剐蹭,并产生噪声,导致折叠屏设备的用户体验较低。
为了进一步降低噪声,提升折叠屏设备的用户体验,在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图11和图12,润滑结构236还设置于第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间。
这样一来,第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间也借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验,提升产品竞争力。
在上述实施例中,润滑结构236的部分可以设置于第三悬臂段2352a的表面。具体的,润滑结构236的该部分在第三悬臂段2352a表面的设置方式与前述润滑结构236在第一悬臂段2342a表面的设置方式相同,在此不作赘述。
上述第二空隙d2内也可能存在摆臂、转轴等结构件,这样,当第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第四悬臂段2352b也相对于第二空隙d2的摆臂、转轴等结构件滑动,也会产生噪声。
为了解决上述问题,在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图11和图12,润滑结构236还设置于第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2之间。可选的,第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2之间的部分润滑结构236可以设置于第四悬臂段2352b的朝向第二空隙d2的表面。
这样一来,第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
需要说明的是,润滑结构236除了设置于第三悬臂段2352a与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2之间之外,还可以设置于其他位置,比如设置于第二悬臂部2352上与第三主支撑件233相对的部分上,或者设置于第二连接部2351上,在此不做具体限定。
润滑结构236除了可以为上述结构之外,还可以有其他结构形式。
示例的,请参阅图13,图13为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,润滑结构236包括第一润滑膜236a和第二润滑膜236b。
第一润滑膜236a包括第一固定段236a1和第一自由段236a2。
其中,第一固定段236a1固定于第一副支撑件234朝向第一主支撑件231和第二主支撑件232的表面。具体的,第一固定段236a1可以固定于第一副支撑件234中第一连接部2341朝向第二主支撑件232的表面,和/或,固定于第一悬臂部2342的位于 第二主支撑件232前侧的部分朝向第二主支撑件232的表面,和/或,固定于第二悬臂段2342b朝向第一空隙d1的表面,和/或,固定于第一悬臂段2342a朝向第一主支撑件231的表面,在此不作具体限定。其中,第一悬臂部2342的位于第二主支撑件232前侧的部分是指:第一悬臂部2342上位于第二主支撑件232前侧,且在第二主支撑件232的第二支撑面m2的正投影位于第二支撑面m2内的部分。
第一自由段236a2位于第一固定段236a1靠近第三主支撑件233的一侧。
第二润滑膜236b包括第二固定段236b1和第二自由段236b2。
其中,第二固定段236b1固定于第二副支撑件235朝向第一主支撑件231和第三主支撑件233的表面。具体的,第二固定段236b1可以固定于第二副支撑件235中第二连接部2351朝向第三主支撑件233的表面,和/或,固定于第二悬臂部2352的位于第三主支撑件233前侧的部分朝向第三主支撑件233的表面,和/或,固定于第四悬臂段2352b朝向第二空隙d2的表面,和/或,固定于第三悬臂段2352a朝向第一主支撑件231的表面,在此不作具体限定。其中,第二悬臂部2352的位于第三主支撑件233前侧的部分是指:第二悬臂部2352上位于第三主支撑件233前侧,且在第三主支撑件233的第三支撑面m3的正投影位于第三支撑面m3内的部分。
第二自由段236b1位于第二固定段236b1靠近第二主支撑件232的一侧。
第二自由段236b1与第一自由段236a1层叠设置。
这样一来,第一润滑膜236a和第二润滑膜236b交错设置,能够起到润滑的作用,并降低噪声。同时,请参阅图14,图14为图13所示转轴装置23在由展开状态向折叠状态转动时的结构示意图,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一润滑膜236a和第二润滑膜236b可以产生相对滑动,可以避免对第一副支撑件234和第二副支撑件235的相对远离或者靠近运动产生影响。
在上述实施例中,第一润滑膜236a和第二润滑膜236b可以为表面爽滑结构。
又示例的,请参阅图15,图15为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,润滑结构236包括第三润滑膜236c。第三润滑膜236c包括第一润滑膜区域236c1、第二润滑膜区域236c2和第三润滑膜区域236c3。
第一润滑膜区域236c1固定于第一副支撑件234朝向第一主支撑件231和第二主支撑件232的表面。具体的,第一润滑膜区域236c1可以固定于第一副支撑件234中第一连接部2341朝向第二主支撑件232的表面,和/或,固定于第一悬臂部2342的位于第二主支撑件232前侧的部分朝向第二主支撑件232的表面,和/或,固定于第二悬臂段2342b朝向第一空隙d1的表面,和/或,固定于第一悬臂段2342a朝向第一主支撑件231的表面,在此不作具体限定。
第二润滑膜区域236c2固定于第二副支撑件235朝向第一主支撑件231和第三主支撑件233的表面。具体的,第二润滑膜区域236c2可以固定于第二副支撑件235中第二连接部2351朝向第三主支撑件233的表面,和/或,固定于第二悬臂部2352的位于第三主支撑件233前侧的部分朝向第三主支撑件233的表面,和/或,固定于第四悬臂段2352b朝向第二空隙d2的表面,和/或,固定于第三悬臂段2352a朝向第一主支撑件231的表面,在此不作具体限定。
第三润滑膜区域236c3连接于第一润滑膜区域236c1与第二润滑膜区域236c2之间,且由第一润滑膜区域236c1指向第二润滑膜区域236c2的方向,第三润滑膜区域236c3可弹性伸缩。一些实施例中,第三润滑膜236c的至少第三润滑膜区域236c3的某一段或者整体为软质弹性结构,具体的,软质弹性结构的材料包括但不限于含有聚氨酯、橡胶、乳胶等具有弹性的材料。第一润滑膜区域236c1和第二润滑膜区域236c2可以为表面爽滑结构,也可以为软质弹性结构。一些实施例中,第一润滑膜区域236c1、第二润滑膜区域236c2和第三润滑膜区域236c3均为软质弹性结构且材料相同。这样,第一润滑膜区域236c1、第二润滑膜区域236c2和第三润滑膜区域236c3可以一体成型,降低第三润滑膜236c的结构复杂度。
这样一来,当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,请参阅图16,图16为图15所示转轴装置23在由展开状态向折叠状态转动时的结构示意图,第三润滑膜区域236c3处于拉伸状态并积蓄弹性力,当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,第三润滑膜区域236c3在积蓄的弹性力下收缩。由此,第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第三润滑膜区域236c3产生弹性伸缩,可以避免对第一副支撑件234和第二副支撑件235的相对远离或者靠近运动产生影响。同时,本实施例所述转轴装置23借助第三润滑膜236c可以同时对第一副支撑件234和第二副支撑件235起到润滑的作用,并降低噪声,因此,转轴装置23的组成结构简单,容易实现。
还示例的,润滑结构236还可以包括第四润滑膜(图中未示出)和第五润滑膜(图中未示出)。第四润滑膜的一端固定于第一副支撑件234朝向第一主支撑件231和第二主支撑件232的表面,另一端固定于第一主支撑件231上。第四润滑膜由固定第一副支撑件234的一端至固定第一主支撑件231的一端可弹性伸缩。一些实施例中,第四润滑膜的某一段或者整体为软质弹性结构,具体的,软质弹性结构的材料包括但不限于含有聚氨酯、橡胶、乳胶等具有弹性的材料。第五润滑膜的一端固定于第二副支撑件235朝向第一主支撑件231和第三主支撑件233的表面,另一端固定于第一主支撑件231上。第五润滑膜由固定第二副支撑件235的一端至固定第一主支撑件231的一端可弹性伸缩。这样一来,当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,第四润滑膜和第五润滑膜弹性伸缩,可以避免对第一副支撑件234和第二副支撑件235的相对远离或者靠近运动产生影响。
请返回参阅图6,为了提升转轴装置23在第二空隙d2处的支撑性能,在又一些实施例中,也可以增大前述第一副支撑件234的面积,以使第一副支撑件234在覆盖第一空隙d1的同时,还能够覆盖到第二空隙d2。
具体的,请参阅图17,图17为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,第一悬臂部2342还包括第五悬臂段2342c。第五悬臂段2342c位于第一悬臂段2342a远离第一连接部2341的一侧。第五悬臂段2342c是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第一悬臂部2342上位于第三支撑面m3所朝向的一侧,且在第三支撑面m3上的正投影位于第三支撑面m3内的部分。
这样一来,第一副支撑件234除了横跨在第一空隙d1上,还横跨在第二空隙d2 上。具体的,请继续参阅图17,第一悬臂部2342还可以包括第六悬臂段2342d。第六悬臂段2342d位于第一悬臂段2342a与第五悬臂段2342c之间。第六悬臂段2342d是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第一悬臂部2342上位于第二空隙d2朝向折叠屏10的一侧,且沿Z轴方向在第二空隙d2内的投影位于第二空隙d2内的部分。这样一来,第六悬臂段2342d覆盖在第二空隙d2上。在将转轴装置23应用于折叠屏设备100时,折叠屏10位于第一副支撑件234远离第一主支撑件231、第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233的一侧,转轴装置23除了借助第一副支撑件234的第二悬臂段2342b,提高对折叠屏10上与第一空隙d1相对的部分的支撑强度之外,还借助第一副支撑件234的第六悬臂段2342d,提高对折叠屏10上与第二空隙d2相对的部分的支撑强度。
但是,上述实施例所述转轴装置23中,当第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动时,第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分相对于第一主支撑件231滑动,同时第五悬臂段2342c的至少部分也相对于第三主支撑件233滑动。举例说明,请参阅图18,图18为图17所示转轴装置23中第二主支撑件232和第三主支撑件233相对于第一主支撑件231沿方向a1由展开位置向折叠位置转动时的结构示意图,第一悬臂段2342a的部分相对于第一主支撑件231沿方向a2向左滑动,第五悬臂段2342c的整体沿方向a4向左下方滑动。这样一来,第一悬臂段2342a的部分与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第五悬臂段2342c的整体与第三主支撑件233之间产生了剐蹭,并产生噪声,导致折叠屏设备的用户体验较低。
为了进一步降低折叠屏设备的噪声,在一些实施例中,请参阅图19,图19为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图,润滑结构236除了设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间之外,还设置于第五悬臂段2342c的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间。
这样一来,第五悬臂段2342c的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间也借助润滑结构236润滑,防止第五悬臂段2342c的至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
需要说明的是,润滑结构236可以在设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间的基础上,同时还设置于第五悬臂段2342c的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间;或者,设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间,不设置于第五悬臂段2342c的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间;或者,设置于第五悬臂段2342c的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间,不设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间。在此不做具体限定。
在上述实施例的基础上,一些实施例中,润滑结构236还设置于第六悬臂段2342d与第二空隙d2之间。具体的,润滑结构236的部分可以设置于第六悬臂段2342d的朝向第二空隙d2的表面。
这样一来,第六悬臂段2342d与第二空隙d2内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第六悬臂段2342d与第二空隙d2内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
需要说明的是,润滑结构236除了设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间,第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1之间,第五悬臂段2342c的上 述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间,以及第六悬臂段2342d与第二空隙d2之间之外,还可以设置于其他位置,比如设置于第五悬臂段2342c远离第一悬臂段2342a的一端端面(如图20所示),或者设置于第五悬臂段2342c背对第三主支撑件233的表面(如图21所示),在此不做具体限定。
在上述任一实施例的基础上,请参阅图22,图22为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,润滑结构236可以包括第四润滑层2364。第四润滑层2364设置于第一主支撑件231的支撑面(也即是前述第一支撑面m1)上。这样一来,第一副支撑件234的第一悬臂段2342a与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第二副支撑件235的第三悬臂段2352a与第一主支撑件231之间可以借助第四润滑层2364润滑,防止第一悬臂段2342a与第一主支撑件231之间以及第三悬臂段2352a与第一主支撑件231之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。而且借助第四润滑层2364,即可同时实现第一副支撑件234与第一主支撑件231之间,以及第二副支撑件235与第一主支撑件231之间的润滑,因此有利于降低转轴装置23的结构复杂度。
根据以上各实施例的描述,第一副支撑件234中,第一连接部2341位于第二主支撑件232的前侧并连接于第二主支撑件232上,第一悬臂部2342的第一悬臂段2342a位于第一主支撑件231的前侧。在其他一些实施例中,第一连接部2341与第一悬臂段2342a的位置可以互换。
具体的,请参阅图23,图23为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,第一连接部2341位于第一支撑面m1所朝向的一侧并连接于第一主支撑件231上,第一悬臂部2342的第一悬臂段2342a是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第一悬臂部2342上位于第二支撑面m2所朝向的一侧,且在第二支撑面m2上的正投影位于第二支撑面m2内的部分。
这样一来,第一副支撑件234同样横跨在第一空隙d1上,第一副支撑件234至少一部分覆盖在第一空隙d1上。具体的,第一悬臂部2342的第二悬臂段2342b位于第一空隙d1朝向折叠屏10的一侧,且当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第二悬臂段2342b沿Z轴方向在第一空隙d1内的投影位于第一空隙d1内。这样一来,转轴装置23同样借助第二悬臂段2342b对折叠屏10上与第一空隙d1相对的部分进行支撑,可以提高转轴装置23的支撑性能。
在上述基础上,第一悬臂段2342a的整体或者部分(也即是至少部分)与第二主支撑件232接触,并相对于第二主支撑件232滑动,同时第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间接触并产生相对滑动,在滑动过程中因剐蹭而产生噪声。
为了降低折叠屏设备的噪声,在一些实施例中,请参阅图24,图24为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,转轴装置23还包括润滑结构236。润滑结构236至少设置于第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第二主支撑件232之间。
润滑结构236可以为表面爽滑结构,也即是,润滑结构236可以为表面摩擦系数小于0.25的一类结构。具体的,润滑结构236为表面摩擦系数可以为0.24、0.23、 0.2、0.1、0.05、0.02或者0.01等等。在此基础上,润滑结构236的材料包括但不限于含有氟元素的化合物,示例的,润滑结构236的材料为聚四氟乙烯。在其他一些实施例中,润滑结构236的材料也可以为聚甲醛(polyoxymethylene,POM)。这样,润滑结构236通过减小表面摩擦系数,来达到降低噪声的目的。
润滑结构236也可以为软质弹性结构。润滑结构236的材料包括但不限于含有聚氨酯、橡胶、乳胶等具有弹性的材料。这样,润滑结构236通过避免相互剐蹭的两个结构之间硬接触,来达到降低噪声的目的。
这样一来,第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第二主支撑件232之间借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第二主支撑件232之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
需要说明的是,在上述实施例的基础上,润滑结构236在第一悬臂段2342a的上述至少部分与第二主支撑件232之间的设置方式,可以与前面实施例中,润滑结构236在第一悬臂段2342a的至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间的设置方式类似,在此不做赘述。
在一些实施例中,为了避免第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1内的摆臂、转轴等结构件因相对滑动而产生噪声,在一些实施例中,请参阅图24,润滑结构236还可以设置于第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1之间。这样一来,第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第二悬臂段2342b与第一空隙d1内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在上述实施例的基础上,在一些实施例中,请参阅图25,图25为本申请又一些实施例提供的转轴装置23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,转轴装置23还包括第二副支撑件235。第二副支撑件235包括固定连接的第二连接部2351和第二悬臂部2352。第二连接部2351位于第一支撑面m1所朝向的一侧并连接于第一主支撑件231上,第二悬臂部2352包括第三悬臂段2352a,第二悬臂部2352的第三悬臂段2352a是指:当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第二悬臂部2352上位于第三支撑面m3所朝向的一侧,且在第三支撑面m3上的正投影位于第三支撑面m3内的部分。
这样一来,第二副支撑件235同样横跨在第二空隙d2上,第二副支撑件235至少一部分覆盖在第二空隙d2上。具体的,第二悬臂部2352还可以包括第四悬臂段2352b。第四悬臂段2352b位于第二空隙d2朝向折叠屏10的一侧,且当转轴装置23处于展开状态时,第四悬臂段2352b沿Z轴方向在第二空隙d2内的投影位于第二空隙d2内。这样一来,转轴装置23借助第四悬臂段2352b对折叠屏10上与第二空隙d2相对的部分进行支撑,可以提高转轴装置23的支撑性能。
在上述基础上,第三悬臂段2352a的整体或者部分(也即是至少部分)与第三主支撑件233接触,并相对于第三主支撑件233滑动,同时第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间接触并产生相对滑动,在滑动过程中因剐蹭而产生噪声。
为了进一步降低折叠屏设备的噪声,在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图25,润滑结构236还设置于第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间。
这样一来,第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
需要说明的是,在上述实施例的基础上,润滑结构236在第三悬臂段2352a的上述至少部分与第三主支撑件233之间的设置方式,可以与前面实施例中,润滑结构236在第一悬臂段2342a的至少部分与第一主支撑件231之间的设置方式类似,在此不做赘述。
在一些实施例中,为了避免第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2内的摆臂、转轴等结构件因相对滑动而产生噪声,在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图25,润滑结构236还可以设置于第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2之间。这样一来,第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2内的摆臂、转轴等结构件之间还借助润滑结构236进行润滑,防止第四悬臂段2352b与第二空隙d2内的结构件之间因剐蹭而产生噪声,从而进一步提升折叠屏设备的用户体验。
在本说明书的描述中,具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。
