The arrangement of the components in two groups can improve the reliability and stability of connection.
Referring to fig. 9 and fig. 10, in one embodiment, the folding mechanism 200 may further include a first elastic piece 310, where the first elastic piece 310 is disposed in the first sliding groove 351, and the first elastic piece 310 is respectively disposed at two extreme positions of the sliding direction of the first connecting post 284 in a first clamping position 312. The two first engaging positions 312 of the first elastic piece 310 correspond to the two ends of the sliding path of the first connecting post 284 in the first sliding groove 351. The first clamping position 312 and the first connecting post 284 form a certain degree of interference, so that the first clamping position 312 forms a certain clamping force on the first connecting post 284 to prevent the position of the first connecting post 284 from being changed randomly, so that the position of the first sliding plate 230 relative to the first housing 210 can be stable, that is, the foldable mobile terminal 10 can be kept in a folded state or an unfolded state more stably.
In an embodiment, a first damping position 314 is disposed between two first engaging positions 312 of the first elastic piece 310, wherein the resistance of the first connecting post 284 is increased when sliding from the first engaging position 312 to the first damping position 314. The increased resistance may be achieved by the clamping force applied to the first connection post 284 by the first damping bit 314 being greater than the clamping force applied to the first connection post 284 by the first snap-in bit 312. For example, the first elastic piece 310 may be in a waist-round shape, see fig. 10, in an embodiment, the first elastic piece 310 may be in a waist-round shape with two ends closed, see fig. 11, in another embodiment, the first elastic piece 310 may also be in a waist-round shape with one end open and one end closed, and the first elastic piece 310 may be formed by bending one elastic piece, so as to facilitate processing.
Two first clamping positions 312 are formed at two ends of the first elastic sheet 310, a first damping position 314 is formed in the middle of the first elastic sheet 310, and a gap in the first damping position 314 for the first connecting column 284 to pass through is smaller than a gap in the first clamping position 312 for the first connecting column 284 to pass through, so that resistance applied to the first connecting rod 280 is increased in the process of leading from the first clamping position 312 to the first damping position 314. By thus providing the first elastic piece 310, the first and second housings 210 and 220 of the foldable mobile terminal 10 are rotated to have a more damped feeling.
In an embodiment, the folding mechanism 200 may further include a second elastic piece 320, where the second elastic piece 320 is disposed in the second sliding groove 361, and the second elastic piece 320 is respectively disposed with a second engaging position 322 at two extreme positions of the sliding direction of the second connecting post 294. The two second engaging positions 322 of the second elastic piece 320 correspond to two ends of the sliding path of the second connecting post 294 on the second sliding chute 361. The second engagement position 322 and the second connection post 294 form a certain degree of interference, so that the second engagement position 322 forms a certain clamping force on the second connection post 294 to prevent the position of the second connection post 294 from being randomly changed, and thus the position of the second slide plate 240 relative to the second housing 220 can be stabilized, that is, the foldable mobile terminal 10 can be stably maintained in a folded state or an unfolded state.
In an embodiment, a second damping position 324 is disposed between two second engaging positions 322 of the second elastic piece 320, wherein the resistance of the second connecting post 294 is increased when the second engaging position 322 slides toward the second damping position 324. The increased resistance may be achieved by the second damping bit 324 applying a greater clamping force to the second connection post 294 than the second engagement bit 322 applying a greater clamping force to the second connection post 294. For example, the second elastic piece 320 may be in a waist-round shape, in an embodiment, the second elastic piece 320 may be in a waist-round shape with two ends closed, in another embodiment, the second elastic piece 320 may also be in a waist-round shape with one end open and one end closed, and the second elastic piece 320 may be formed by bending one elastic piece, so as to facilitate processing.
The two second engaging positions 322 are formed at two ends of the second elastic sheet 320, the second damping position 324 is formed at the middle part of the second elastic sheet 320, and the gap in the second damping position 324 for the second connecting column 294 to pass through is smaller than the gap in the second engaging position 322 for the second connecting column 294 to pass through, so that the resistance applied by the second connecting rod 290 is increased in the process of passing from the second engaging position 322 to the second damping position 324. By thus providing the second elastic piece 320, the second housing 220 of the foldable mobile terminal 10 and the second housing 220 are rotated with a more damped feeling.
Referring again to fig. 3, in one embodiment, the first housing 210 includes a first front case 214 and a first rear case 216 coupled to each other, and the second end of the first link 280 is hinged to the first front case 214.

The second housing 220 includes a second front case 224 and a second rear case 226 coupled to each other, and the second end of the second link 290 is hinged to the second front case 224. The second front case 224 and the second rear case 226 may be assembled in a snap-fit manner, thereby facilitating installation.
Referring again to fig. 7, further, in an embodiment, the folding mechanism 200 may further include a first tab 330, the first tab 330 being coupled to the first front shell 214, the first tab 330 spacing the first link 280 such that the first link 280 is located between the first tab 330 and the first front shell 214. In one embodiment, the folding mechanism 200 may further include a second tab 340, the second tab 340 being coupled to the second front housing 224, the second tab 340 limiting the second link 290 such that the second link 290 is positioned between the second tab 340 and the second front housing 224.
In one embodiment, the first connection portion 350 includes a first sleeve 352 and a first connection arm 354. The first shaft 250 is threaded through the first sleeve 352, and the first sleeve 352 can rotate relative to the first shaft 250. The first shaft 250 may be only rotatably coupled, not slidably coupled, with respect to the first sleeve 352. The first connecting arm 354 is fixed to the first sleeve 352, and the first link 280 is slidably connected to the first connecting arm 354. In one embodiment, the second connection 360 includes a second sleeve 362 and a second connection arm 364. The second rotating shaft 260 is penetrated through the second sleeve 362, and the second sleeve 362 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 260. The second shaft 260 may be rotatably coupled with respect to the second sleeve 362 without sliding. The second connecting arm 364 is fixed to the second sleeve 362, and the second link 290 is slidably connected to the second connecting arm 364. In other embodiments, the location of the rotational connection may be varied, and in particular, in one embodiment, the first rotational shaft 250 may be rotationally coupled to the first sled 230.
