The connecting member 31 is a plate, and the connecting member 31 is sandwiched between two adjacent first rotating members 21 and two adjacent second rotating members 41. Two arc-shaped convex blocks which are symmetrical to each other in a splayed manner are arranged on one side surface of the connecting piece 31, the two arc-shaped convex blocks are used as first sliding parts 32, and the two first sliding parts 32 are respectively limited in the two first tracks 23 of the two adjacent first rotating parts 21. The other side surface of the connecting member 31 is provided with two arc-shaped protrusions symmetrically arranged on the side surface in a splayed shape, the two arc-shaped protrusions serve as second sliding portions 33, and the two second sliding portions 33 are respectively limited in the two second tracks 43 of the two adjacent second rotating members 41. Therefore, the two opposite narrow side surfaces of the connecting piece 31 are flush with the first sliding part 32 and the second sliding part 33 respectively, and the stress and the reaction force generated during stopping are favorably shared. A sector notch is formed at the upper end corner of the other two opposite narrow sides of each connecting element 31, the notch is used as an arc concave part 34 to correspond to the bottom surface of the first limiting part 24 of the first rotating element 2, and each connecting element 31 adjacent to each other is respectively connected with each first limiting part 24 through each arc concave part 34 to form relative movement along the bottom surface of each first limiting part 24 and prevent each first rotating element 21 and each second rotating element 41 from forming relative rotation.
Therefore, before the integral bending, before the plurality of first rotating members 21 are not rotated, one first sliding portion 32 of two adjacent connecting members 31 is respectively located at two opposite ends of the first track 23 of the same first rotating member 21 to form a limiting position, and two opposite ends of the bottom surface of the first limiting portion 24 of the same first rotating member 21 are respectively abutted against one arc concave portion 34 of the two adjacent connecting members 31 to assist in sharing the stopping function; after the integral bending, as shown in fig. 6 to 8, when the plurality of first rotating members 21 rotate respectively, the two first rotating members 21 rotate relative to the connecting members 31, and after the corresponding narrow sides of the two adjacent connecting members 31 are closed mutually, the first sliding portions 32 of the two adjacent connecting members 31 stop each other in the first tracks 23 of the same first rotating member 21, so as to form a limit position, and the bottom sides of the two adjacent connecting members 31 stop each other on an inclined surface at the top end of the first engaging portion 25 of the same first rotating member 21, so as to assist in sharing the stopping function, meanwhile, the two second rotating members 41 rotate synchronously relative to the connecting members 31, and the second sliding portions 33 of the two adjacent connecting members 31 stop each other in the second tracks 43 of the same second rotating member 41, so as to form a synchronous limit position; since the first rotating members 21 and the second rotating members 41 are connected to the lower portions of the two side regions of the plate surface of the flexible plate 6 side by side, the first rotating members 21 and the second rotating members 41 can rotate relative to the connecting members 31 at the same time, so that the first bracket 7 and the second bracket 71 can be turned and lifted relatively until the whole flexible structure 1 is bent or even closed close to each other. During the above rotation, the first rotating members 21 can be slowed down and stopped freely during the rotation by the friction slip prevention of the C-shaped ring 51 and the gradually increased torque force generated by the rotation friction, otherwise, during the reverse rotation, the torque force generated by the rotation friction between the C-shaped ring 51 and the positioning post 26 is also changed, but compared with the forward rotation, the torque force is considered to be gradually reduced to reduce to the preset torque force value, so that the first bracket 7 and the second bracket 71 are conveniently unfolded relatively; the long collar 52 can make the positioning column 26 move relatively within the long track space in a limited way, so as to limit the rotation angle of the plurality of first rotating members 21, and make the adjacent first rotating members 21 form a stable connection.
Referring to fig. 1, 9 and 10, fig. 9 and 10 show a preferred embodiment of a combination with a flexible structure according to the present invention, which includes two symmetrical flexible structures 1, 1 ', a plurality of struts 8 and two supporting frames 9, 9'. A positioning post 26 is axially arranged at the other side of any first rotating member 21, and two axially arranged pivot holes are respectively arranged at two ends of any supporting rod 8 of the plurality of supporting rods 8 for correspondingly pivoting two positioning posts 26 of the two flexible structures 1, 1' on the same axis; the other lower end of any one of the first rotating members 21 is provided with an axially extending strip-shaped plate for being locked or riveted to the bottom surface of one end of the supporting rod 8, and the strip-shaped plate serves as a connecting portion 27, so that two symmetrical first rotating members 21 are connected to two ends of one supporting rod 8 respectively. After the two ends of the plurality of supporting rods 8 are respectively connected with the two flexible structures 1, 1 ', the two supporting frames 9, 9' are respectively connected to the two first brackets 7, 7 'and the two second brackets 71, 71', and the two opposite regions of a flexible screen 91 are combined with the two supporting frames 9, 9 'and the middle region of the flexible screen 91 to lean against the upper parts of the plurality of supporting rods 8, so that in cooperation with the above actions, one region of the flexible screen 91 on one supporting frame 9 is turned and unfolded or turned to approach each other relative to the other region of the flexible screen 91 on the other supporting frame 9', and the middle regions of the flexible screens 91 on the supporting rods 8 are flattened or bent. The opposite ends of the two supporting frames 9, 9 'are respectively provided with a first magnetic member 92 and a second magnetic member 93, so that after the flexible screen 91 is reversely bent, the combination of the present invention is bent until the two supporting frames 9, 9' are folded to be completely closed, so as to avoid being easily opened.
Therefore, the invention has the following advantages:
1. the connecting piece is thinned and is inserted and clamped between the first rotating piece and the second rotating piece in a staggered mode, so that the thickness of the link assembly can be reduced, and the overall volume is reduced.
2. When the integral bending machine is bent integrally, the adjacent connecting pieces can be stopped mutually, the adjacent first rotating piece and the adjacent second rotating piece can be stopped mutually, and each connecting piece can be stopped mutually with each first rotating piece, so that the relative opening and closing angle of each section can be effectively limited, stress and reacting force generated during stopping can be shared, and the service life is further prolonged.
3. The friction limiting parts used as torsion are additionally separated out, so that the number of the friction limiting parts can be increased or decreased, and the C-shaped ring of each friction limiting part and the positioning columns of the first rotating parts generate torsion changes. Therefore, when the whole body is gradually bent to be folded, the torsion can be gradually increased, even the torsion is freely stopped, and the bending speed is slowed down to avoid the phenomenon that the whole body is bent to be closed too fast; after the whole body is gradually opened, the torsion can be gradually reduced, so that a user can easily open the whole body to be flat.
4. The flexible structure of the invention is designed in a modular structure mode, thus effectively reducing the number of different parts and facilitating the assembly and replacement, and the corresponding edges of the two connecting plate bodies are provided with the magnetic attraction pieces, so that the flexible structure can be prevented from being easily opened when the whole body is bent and folded to be completely closed.
It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely a few embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
