The terminal in the embodiment of the present invention may be a mobile terminal, and then, for example, based on the above-mentioned mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, various embodiments of the flexible terminal provided by the present invention may be provided. The terminals described below may be replaced with mobile terminals.

Referring to fig. 3, which illustrates a flexible screen supporting mechanism 3 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the flexible screen supporting mechanism 3 includes: a first receiving body 31 and a second receiving body 32 for supporting a non-bending portion of the flexible screen, and a bendable supporting body 33 for supporting a bendable portion of the flexible screen; the first containing body 31 and the second containing body 32 are connected through the bendable supporting body 33; the bendable supporting body 33 is capable of bending in a first direction and preventing bending in a second direction; wherein the first direction is a direction in which a side of the first containing body 31 not supporting the flexible screen and a side of the second containing body 32 not supporting the flexible screen are close to each other; as shown by the solid arrows in fig. 3, the second direction is opposite to the first direction; as shown by the dotted arrows in fig. 3, that is, the second direction is a direction in which a side of the flexible screen supported by the first accommodating body 31 and a side of the flexible screen supported by the second accommodating body 32 approach each other.

The flexible screen supporting mechanism 3 shown in fig. 3 can not only provide support for the bendable part of the flexible screen, but also have the effect of folding the screen with a solid line, and can prevent the flexible screen from reversely bending, thereby prolonging the service life of the flexible screen.

With respect to the flexible screen support mechanism 3 shown in fig. 3, when the bendable portion of the flexible screen is bent in the first direction, the bendable supporting bodies 33 of the flexible screen supporting mechanism 3 are located below the bendable portion of the flexible screen, and therefore, the bendable supporting bodies 33 need to reduce the length of the bendable supporting bodies 33 to stably support the bendable portion of the flexible screen when bending along with the bendable portion of the flexible screen, and based on this, in one possible implementation, referring to cross-sectional view 4B taken along AA' in a top view of the flexible support structure as shown in figure 4A, as shown in the enlarged side view of the flexible supporting mechanism 3 in fig. 4B, the second accommodating body 32 is provided therein with an accommodating groove 321, when the bendable supporting body 33 is bent in the first direction, the receiving groove 321 can receive a portion of the bendable supporting body 33 near the second receiving body 32.

In the specific implementation process of the accommodating groove 321, referring to fig. 4B, an accommodating slide rail 3211 is disposed in the accommodating groove 321, and a portion of the flexible support body 33 close to the second accommodating body 32 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 321 through the accommodating slide rail 3211 at a connection end of the flexible support body 33 and the second accommodating body 32.

It will be appreciated that when the flexible screen is in the non-flexed state, the flexible screen support mechanism 3 is also in the non-flexed state shown in fig. 4B, which may also be referred to as a straightened state; when the bendable portion of the flexible screen is bent, the bendable support 33 in the flexible screen support mechanism 3 can slide into the receiving groove 321 through the receiving slide rail 3211 in the receiving groove 321, as shown in fig. 5, so as to more stably support the bendable portion of the flexible screen in a bent state.

With respect to the flexible screen supporting mechanism 3, referring to the bendable supporting body 33 in fig. 4B or fig. 5, it can be seen that the bendable supporting body 33 may be composed of a plurality of mutually connected connection blocks 331, and the connection blocks 331 are connected with each other in a snapping or hinging manner. Preferably, the length of the connection block 331 in the straightened state after the connection is completed is identical to the length of the bendable portion of the flexible screen, so that the bendable portion of the flexible screen in the unbent state can be supported.

As can be seen from fig. 6, the first protrusion 3311 is received by the receiving space of the previous connecting block, thereby achieving connection with the previous connecting block.

For the accommodation space 3314, in order to be able to receive the first protrusion of the rear connection block and to enable the rear connection block to be bent in the first direction and to be prevented from being bent in the second direction, in a preferred embodiment, the protrusion length of the second protrusion 3312 is greater than that of the third protrusion 3313; the opening width of the accommodating space is smaller than the diameter of the end face of the top end of the first bulge; therefore, after the first protrusion of the rear connection block is received in the receiving space, the first protrusion does not slip out, and the depth of the receiving space 3314 is the same as the depth of the first protrusion.

In addition, in another preferred embodiment, a bayonet is provided in the accommodating space 3314, wherein the accommodating space 3314 abuts against a contact surface with which the first protrusion of the rear connecting block contacts and a non-contact surface with which the first protrusion of the rear connecting block does not contact, so as to prevent bending toward the contact surface. It is understood that the first contact surface is in a first direction with respect to the direction of the accommodation space 3314. The connection block 331 is bent after being connected as shown in fig. 7,
