The heat dissipation back clip provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, an electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application includes a first folding portion 100, a second folding portion 200, and a connecting shaft assembly 300.
The first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 are main members of the electronic device, and the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 are rotatably connected through the connecting shaft assembly 300, so that the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 can rotate relatively to each other, and finally, the electronic device can be folded and unfolded.
Specifically, the first folding portion 100 is rotationally engaged with the connecting shaft assembly 300, and the first folding portion 100 can rotate relative to the connecting shaft assembly 300, so as to rotate relative to the second folding portion 200.
One of the first folding portion 100 and the connecting shaft assembly 300 is provided with a contact member 400, and the other is provided with a first contact region 310 and a second contact region 320. The contact 400 is used to contact the first contact region 310 or the second contact region 320. The first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320 are sequentially arranged in the rotation direction of the first folding portion 100, and the contact member 400 is slidably fitted with the first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320, so that the contact position can be switched between the first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320 during the rotation of the first folding portion 100.
When the included angle between the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 is a first included angle, the contact member 400 is in contact with the first contact region 310. When the included angle between the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 is a second included angle, the contact member 400 is in contact with the second contact region 320. It should be noted that the first included angle and the second included angle are not equal.
When a user folds or unfolds the electronic device, an included angle between the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 changes, and accordingly, the contact member 400 may sequentially contact different contact areas along with the rotation of the first folding portion 100, and the user determines the state of the electronic device through the change in the contact process.
The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application improves the structure of the electronic device in the related art, and by providing the contact 400 on one of the first folding portion 100 and the connecting shaft assembly 300 and providing the first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320 on the other, the contact 400 can be sequentially contacted with the first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320 during the rotation of the first folding portion 100 relative to the connecting shaft assembly 300, and finally the folding state of the electronic device can be determined by the contact condition of the contact 400.
In particular, detecting the contact state of the contact 400 may be accomplished in a variety of ways. In an alternative embodiment, the resistances of the first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320 are different, and after the contact 400 contacts the first contact region 310, the resistance of the integrated structure formed by the contact 400 and the first contact region 310 is a first resistance value, and after the contact 400 contacts the second contact region 320, the resistance of the integrated structure formed by the contact 400 and the second contact region 320 is a second resistance value. The electronic device may include a detection portion that can determine an angle between the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 based on a relationship between the resistance value and the angle by detecting the first resistance value or the second resistance value.
In another alternative embodiment, an electronic device may include a first circuit including a first pin and a second circuit including a second pin. The first contact region 310 is electrically connected to the first lead, and the second contact region 320 is electrically connected to the second lead. When the first pin detects an electrical signal, it is determined that the first contact area is connected to the circuit, that is, the contact 400 is in contact with the first contact area 310, which indicates that the folding angle of the electronic device at this time is a first angle; when the second pin detects an electrical signal, it is determined that the second contact area is connected to the circuit, that is, the contact 400 is in contact with the second contact area 320, indicating that the folding angle of the electronic device at this time is the second angle. By connecting the first contact area 310 and the second contact area 320 to different pins, respectively, the angle between the first fold 100 and the second fold 200 can be determined.
Because the technology for detecting the resistance or the voltage is mature, the angle is determined by adopting a resistance detection or pin electric signal detection mode, and the method has the advantages of convenience and simplicity in operation and the like.
In another specific embodiment, the first contact region 310 may be a ground conductive region, and the second contact region 320 may be an insulating region. The contact 400 may be a powered structure, and in particular, the contact 400 may be electrically connected to a power source of an electronic device. In the case where the contact 400 is in contact with the first contact region 310, the level signal of the contact 400 is a low level signal. In the case where the contact 400 is in contact with the second contact region 320, the level signal of the contact 400 is a high level signal.
Since the contact 400 is connected to a power supply of an electronic device, the contact 400 makes contact with different contact areas, so that the level of the contact 400 can be different. The level signals of the contact 400 at the respective contact areas correspond to different spreading angles of the electronic device, that is, the angle of the first folding portion 100 with respect to the second folding portion 200 and the level signal of the contact 400 form a preset corresponding relationship. The detection part may determine an angle of the first folding part 100 with respect to the second folding part 200 according to the level signal, and finally determine an unfolded angle of the electronic device. In the whole detection process, the detection part can determine the unfolding angle of the electronic equipment only by detecting the level signal of the contact element 400, the detection process is simple, and the structure of the whole detection structure is simple. Of course, the folded state of the electronic apparatus is an unfolded state with an unfolded angle of 0 °.
In a specific implementation process, when the contact 400 rotates along with the first folding portion 100 to a position contacting with the first contact area 310, since the first contact area 310 is a grounding conductive area, the contact 400 can be grounded, and finally, the live signal of the contact 400 is a low-level signal. When the contact 400 rotates to a position contacting the second contact region 320 along with the first folding portion 100, the second contact region 320 is an insulating region, and thus the charging signal of the contact 400 can be maintained as a high-level signal. It should be noted that, in this document, a high-level signal and a low-level signal are relative concepts, and do not represent specific values of the level signals.
In the case where the level signal of the contact 400 is a low level signal, one kind of the spread angle of the electronic device may be determined according to the correspondence relationship. In the case where the level signal of the contact 400 is a high level signal, another spread angle of the electronic device may be determined according to the correspondence relationship. In general, a user is concerned about both the fully-extended state and the half-extended state of the electronic apparatus. Based on this, in an alternative scheme, in the case where the contact 400 is in contact with the first contact region 310, the included angle between the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 is a first angle, 0 ° < the first angle < 180 °, in which case the electronic device is in an incompletely unfolded state. In case the contact 400 is in contact with the second contact area 320, the angle between the first fold 100 and the second fold 200 is a second angle, which is equal to 180 °, in which case the electronic device is in a fully unfolded state.
Alternatively, the connection shaft assembly 300 is provided with a first contact area 310 and a second contact area 320, and the connection shaft assembly 300 is provided with a conductive layer which is a ground conductive area and an insulating layer which is an insulating area. Specifically, the conductive layer may be a conductive metal plating layer, a conductive coating layer, or a conductive adhesive film. The insulating layer is an insulating coating or an insulating film.
Of course, the first contact area 310 and the second contact area 320 may be other structures capable of making the level signals of the contact 400 unequal after contacting the contact 400. For example, the first contact region 310 may be a grounded conductive region and the second contact region 320 may be a non-grounded conductive region.
As described above, the contact 400 may be provided in the first folding portion 100 or in the connecting shaft assembly 300, and in a normal case, the connecting shaft assembly 300 is usually only used as a connecting mechanism of the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200, and the contact 400 is provided in the connecting shaft assembly 300, so that it is difficult to electrically connect or detect the contact 400, and the power supply of the electronic device is usually disposed in the first folding portion 100. Based on this, in an alternative scheme, the first folding portion 100 is provided with a contact 400, and the contact 400 is electrically connected with a power supply of the electronic device. The coupling shaft assembly 300 is provided with a first contact area 310 and a second contact area 320. This scheme can facilitate the electrical connection between the contact 400 and the power source of the electronic device, thereby facilitating the simplification of the electrical connection structure of the electronic device.
In the embodiment of the present application, the contact 400 may have various structures capable of achieving the sliding contact, for example, the contact 400 may be an elastic contact. In order to make the sliding contact more stable, the contact 400 may be an elastic contact, and the contact 400 may elastically abut on the connecting shaft assembly 300. Specifically, the contact 400 may be a spring sheet or an elastic thimble.
In an alternative scheme, the connecting shaft assembly 300 may include a first connecting shaft 330, the first folding portion 100 is rotatably engaged with the first connecting shaft 330, the first connecting shaft 330 includes a first end surface, a second end surface and a side surface connecting the first end surface and the second end surface, and the first contact region 310 and the second contact region 320 are disposed on the side surface of the first connecting shaft 330. Such a position of the first contact area 310 and the second contact area 320 is more beneficial to enable the first contact area 310 and the second contact area 320 to be laid along a larger length along the axial direction of the first connecting shaft 330, so as to ensure that the contact element 400 has a larger contact area with the first contact area 310 or the second contact area 320 during the rotation of the first folding portion 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection.
In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the connecting shaft assembly 300 may be various, for example, the connecting shaft assembly 300 includes only the first connecting shaft 330, and the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 are rotatably connected by the first connecting shaft 330. Of course, the connecting shaft assembly 300 may have other structures, and in a specific embodiment, the connecting shaft assembly 300 includes a first connecting shaft 330 and a second connecting shaft 340, the first connecting shaft 330 is disposed parallel to the second connecting shaft 340 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft 340, the first folding portion 100 is rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 330, and the second folding portion 200 is rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft 340. In this case, the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 are rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 330 and the second connecting shaft 340, respectively, so that the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 are not easily interfered, which undoubtedly makes the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 more conveniently folded.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200 may be configured with display screens, and the display screens configured with the first folding portion and the second folding portion can be spliced after the electronic device is unfolded, so as to form a screen with a larger area. In order to improve the display performance, in an alternative scheme, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application may include a flexible display screen 500, where the flexible display screen 500 is connected to both the first folding portion 100 and the second folding portion 200, and in a case where the second angle is equal to 180 °, the first folding portion 100, the second folding portion 200, and the connection shaft assembly 300 form a support plane on which the flexible display screen 500 is supported. The flexible display screen 500 has better folding deformation performance, so that the electronic equipment can be provided with a whole display screen with larger area, and the display effect is favorably improved.
In order to improve the stability of the engagement, in an alternative scheme, the first contact area 310 and the second contact area 320 may be provided with through sliding grooves, the contact element 400 is in sliding engagement with the sliding grooves, and during the rotation of the first folding portion 100, the contact element 400 is in sliding engagement with the sliding grooves, so that the switching between the first contact area 310 and the second contact area 320 is more stable.
