The electronic device provided in the present embodiment includes at least two bodies, and the two bodies may include respective housings and various functional components located in the housings.

For example, in some embodiments, the first body 101 may be a body including: the second body 102 may include: display screen and other display modules.

Here, the first body 101 and the second body 102 are connected by a hinge module 103.

The hinge module 103 includes at least one hinge, and the hinge may include: a rotating shaft center and a rotating drum; the center of the rotating shaft and the rotating drum can rotate relatively.

In this embodiment, the hinge module 103 may include: the multiple rotating shafts form a multi-rotating shaft module 103 through connecting parts.

In this embodiment, the first body 101 and the second body 102 are connected by the hinge module 103, so that the first body 101 and the second body 102 can rotate relative to each other based on the rotation of the hinge module 103.

In the embodiment, the first body 101 has a first surface 1011, and the second body 102 has a second surface 1021, which can be one surface of the first body 101 and the second body 102 provided with a protection casing, or an opposite surface of the protection casing.

At least one of the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 is formed with a receiving space, which forms a closed or semi-closed cavity for receiving other problems.

Specifically, for example, at least one of the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 has a first accommodating space 104 near one end of the hinge module 103 for accommodating the hinge module 103, and the first accommodating space includes at least one of:

In this embodiment, the hinge module 103 is disposed at the position of the first accommodating space 104.

Since the first body 101 and the second body 102 are connected by the hinge module 103, when the first body 101 and the second body 102 move relative to each other, the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 move relative to each other.

In the electronic device provided in this embodiment, if the orientations of the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 satisfy the first same condition, the hinge module 103 has at least two positions, one is that the hinge module 103 is located in the first accommodating space 104, and the other is that the hinge module 103 is located outside the first accommodating space 104. If the hinge module 103 is located in the first accommodating space 104, the distance between the first body 101 and the second body 102 is small; if the hinge module 103 is located outside the first accommodating space 104, the distance between the first body 101 and the second body 102 is increased. The hinge module 103 is located in the first accommodating space 104, that is, the hinge module 103 is accommodated in the first accommodating space 104.

Here, the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 satisfying a first identical condition includes at least one of:

In this embodiment, the distance between the first body 101 and the second body 102 may include: a distance of a center point between the first body 101 and the second body 102; or the distance between two points where the first body 101 and the second body 102 are closest.

FIG. 1 shows: when the orientations of the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 satisfy the first same condition, the hinge module 103 is located in the first accommodating space 104. FIG. 2 shows: when the orientations of the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1021 satisfy the first same condition, the hinge module 103 is located outside the first accommodating space 104.

Compared with fig. 1 and 2, when the hinge module 103 is located inside the first accommodating space 104 and outside the second accommodating space 1061, the distance between the two bodies is obviously different.

As shown in fig. 2, when the hinge module 103 is located outside the di8y accommodating space, the third surface 1012 and the fourth surface 1022 of the electronic device are separated, and the hinge module 103 appears in a gap between the third surface 1012 and the fourth surface 1022, so that the hinge module 103 can be seen from a direction opposite to the direction of the third surface 1012 and the fourth surface 1022.

Or the first end part and the second end part are end parts provided with the rotating shaft module 103; the third end portion and the fourth end portion are end portions at positions far from the installation position of the rotating shaft module 103.

In the present embodiment, if the hinge module 103 is configured to provide sufficient supporting force, the volume of the hinge module may be relatively large, and in this case, the hinge module is configured to achieve both the light weight and the thin weight of the electronic device, and the torque support of the hinge module 103. A gap may be formed between the first and second end portions, and the gap may gradually decrease toward the third and fourth end portions. One specific example is: a gap is not arranged between the third end part and the fourth end part; another specific example is: a gap is provided between the third end portion and the fourth end portion, except that the gap is smaller than the gap between the first end portion and the second end portion.

One specific example is provided below in connection with any of the embodiments described above:

the present example provides an electronic device including:

the electronic equipment comprises two bodies, wherein each body comprises a display screen.

The Hinge module (Hinge module) connected between the two bodies and using Hinge type multi-shaft can at least comprise two shafts. The rotating shaft module is a rotating shaft module with double rotating shafts, and the two rotating shafts rotate synchronously, so that 0-360-degree rotation can be realized.

When the rotating shaft module rotates to 180 degrees, the upper screen and the lower screen are manually pushed to approach;

when the screen approaches, the rotating shaft module is hidden at the lower end of the screen as shown in figure 1;

after approaching 180 degrees, if rotating, pulling the upper and lower screens apart manually to the original position, exposing the rotating shaft module, as shown in FIG. 2,

the user can choose to push or not push at 180, which if not, is the normal two-axis configuration. The locking device is arranged at other angles and cannot be pushed; for example, locking is performed using a locking assembly as shown in fig. 9 and 10. When the screen is close to the upper screen and the lower screen at 180 degrees, the auxiliary device can be assisted by the magnet arranged on the side surface of the shell;

the rotating shaft module is arranged outside the center of the system, namely below the screen, so that the screen can be closed when 180 hours are ensured; at a non-180 degree angle, the lock catch locks the fixed part of the hinge with the system.

When the first body and the second body rotate 180 degrees relatively, the locking assembly releases the locking card, and the locking card leaves the initial position until the connecting assembly of the rotating shaft module can slide in the accommodating space arranged in the body. In this example, the sliding of the connecting assembly within the receiving space in the body is a damped sliding, friction force adjustable, and lubricated to reduce sliding noise.
