Each sliding portion 265 pushes the corresponding transmission element 286 to a side far from the middle hinge joint 261 along with the bending of the folding device 24, specifically, the connection post 2652 on each sliding portion 265 pushes the inner wall of the first connection slot 2861 of the corresponding transmission element 286 in a sliding manner, so that the transmission element 286 rotates towards the side far from the middle hinge joint 261 along the axial line of the corresponding rotation hole 2647, the transmission element 286 drives the corresponding sliding piece 284 to slide towards the side far from the middle hinge joint 261 by sliding and rotating the connection post 2870 of the connection piece 287 in the second connection slot 2865 of the corresponding transmission element 286, and each guide post 2645 slides along the corresponding guide slot 2842. Because the fixing portion 282 of the middle covering sheet 281 is fixed to the middle hinge 261, and the connecting portion 283 is made of an elastic material, when the two sliding pieces 284 slide together in a direction away from the middle hinge 261, one side of each sliding piece 284 close to the middle hinge 261 slides and rotates relative to the middle covering sheet 281, and the sliding pieces 284 abut against the corresponding connecting portion 283, that is, the overlapping strip 2841 of each sliding piece 284 disengages from the overlapping groove 2831 of the corresponding connecting portion 283, and moves until the overlapping strip 2841 abuts against the corresponding protruding strip 2821; the two ribs 2821 are elastically deformed to make each sliding piece 284 and the connecting portion 283 tightly abut against each other without a gap, so that the covering member 280 is bent along with the bending of the folding device 24, and the covering member 280 is always attached to the bendable part 26 to prevent dust, sundries or glare from entering the electronic device 100.
In other bending modes of the electronic device 100, a bending force may be applied to the first frame 21 and the second frame 23 at the same time, the first frame 21 and the second frame 23 respectively drive the corresponding supporting member 264 to rotate relative to the supporting hinge 262 toward a side away from the flexible member 30, the electronic device 100 is folded by the linkage mechanism 29, and the foldable member 26 is covered by the covering mechanism 28 to prevent dust, impurities or strong light from entering the electronic device 100.

Each sliding portion 265 pulls the corresponding transmission element 286 to a side close to the middle hinge joint 261 along with the unfolding of the folding device 24, specifically, the connecting post 2652 on each sliding portion 265 slidingly pulls the inner wall of the first connecting slot 2861 of the corresponding transmission element 286, so that the transmission element 286 rotates toward the side close to the middle hinge joint 261 along the axial line of the corresponding rotating hole 2647, the transmission element 286 slides and rotates in the second connecting slot 2865 of the corresponding transmission element 286 through the connecting post 2870 of the connecting piece 287 to drive the corresponding sliding piece 284 to slide toward the side close to the middle hinge joint 261, and each guide post 2645 slides along the corresponding guide slot 2842. Since the fixing portion 282 is fixed to the middle hinge joint 261, and the connecting portion 283 is made of an elastic material, when the two sliding pieces 284 slide together in a direction close to the middle hinge joint 261, one side of each sliding piece 284 close to the middle hinge joint 261 slides and rotates relative to the middle covering sheet 281, and the sliding pieces 284 abut against the corresponding connecting portion 283, that is, the overlapping strip 2841 of each sliding piece 284 is separated from the corresponding protruding strip 2821 and moves into the overlapping groove 2831 inserted into the corresponding connecting portion 283, so that each sliding piece 284 abuts against the corresponding connecting portion 283 in a sealing manner without a gap, and the covering member 28 is flattened along with the flattening of the folding device 24, and the covering member 28 is always abutted against the bendable part 26 to prevent dust, sundries or bright light from entering the electronic device 100.

The bendable member 26 further includes a rotating shaft 290 connected to the sliding portion 265, and the sliding portion 265 is rotatable around an axis of the rotating shaft 290.
