Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the 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 application.

Technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 9, an embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device and a support structure, the electronic device includes a support structure and a flexible screen 910, and the flexible screen 910 is mounted on the support structure and can be folded and unfolded correspondingly with the folding and unfolding of the support structure.

The support structure comprises at least two support parts, a middle connecting part 300 and a plugging part 510, wherein the support parts can be made of hard materials such as plastics or metals, and the like, so that the support parts have high structural strength. The number of the supporting portions may be two, three, or four. When the number of the supporting parts is two, the electronic equipment is double-folding screen electronic equipment; when the number of the supporting parts is three, the electronic device is a three-folding screen electronic device. The supporting portion has a supporting surface, and the supporting surface can support the flexible screen 910, and is used as an installation basis of the flexible screen 910, and of course, the supporting portion also serves as a part of an external structure of the electronic device, and other components of the electronic device can be installed on the supporting portion, such as a camera module, a circuit board, and the like. The support part is provided with a connection part 120, and the intermediate connection member 300 is rotatably connected with the support part through the connection part 120. Specifically, the connection part 120 may be a protrusion, and in order to improve the rotational reliability between the support part and the intermediate connection member 300, the cross section of the protrusion has a circular structure, which may also reduce the rotational difficulty between the support part and the intermediate connection member 300.

The intermediate connector 300 is provided with a receiving chamber 310, and the receiving chamber 310 can receive a portion of the flexible screen 910, so that the flexible screen 910 does not wrinkle during switching between the folded state and the unfolded state. Along the extending direction of the intermediate connector 300, the size of the accommodating cavity 310 can be slightly larger than the size of the flexible screen 910 in the foregoing direction, so that the flexible screen 910 is prevented from being rubbed and rubbed with the intermediate connector 300 in the process of extending the flexible screen 910 into the accommodating cavity 310, the flexible screen 910 can be stored in the accommodating cavity 310, and the flexible screen 910 can be prevented from being damaged. In addition, parameters such as the shape and the volume of the accommodating cavity 310 may be determined according to the actual situation of the flexible screen 910, for example, the accommodating cavity 310 may have a semicircular structure, which may enable the flexible screen 910 to be better accommodated in the accommodating cavity 310, and may enable the utilization rate of the accommodating cavity 310 to be higher, and may also provide a certain supporting effect for the flexible screen 910 by the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 310.

The both ends that carry on the back of the body of intermediate junction spare 300 all are equipped with shaft hole 320, and shaft hole 320 is equipped with the installing port, and connecting portion 120 can stretch into to shaft hole 320 in through the installing port to make the supporting part can form the rotation with intermediate junction spare 300 and be connected the relation.

The blocking portion 510 blocks the mounting opening, thereby preventing the connecting portion 120 mounted in the shaft hole 320 from being separated from the shaft hole 320 and ensuring a reliable connection between the support portion and the intermediate connector 300. The blocking part 510 may be made of plastic or rubber, and the blocking part 510 may be mounted at the mounting opening by bonding or clamping, so as to block the mounting opening. Alternatively, the blocking portion 510 may be fixed to the mounting opening by other structures.

Both ends of the flexible screen 910 are respectively fixed on the supporting surfaces of the at least two supporting portions, so that the flexible screen 910 can be arranged on the same side of the at least two supporting portions and the intermediate connecting member 300, and the support structure can provide a stable supporting function for the flexible screen 910. Optionally, the structures of the supporting portions respectively connected to the two opposite sides of the middle connecting member 300 may be the same or different, for example, the supporting portions may be all cylindrical structures, or all prismatic structures, or one supporting portion may be a prismatic structure and one supporting portion may be a cylindrical structure. In the actual design process, the method can be flexibly selected according to actual requirements.

In the using process of the electronic device, the support structure is in a folded state, so that the portability of the electronic device can be improved, and under the condition that the support structure is in the folded state, the accommodating cavity 310 is used for providing an accommodating function for the first area of the flexible screen 910, so that the flexible screen 910 is prevented from being folded, and a certain protection function can be provided for the flexible screen 910 by the support structure; under the condition that the support structure is in the unfolding state, at least part of the first area of the flexible screen 910 can be moved out of the accommodating cavity 310, so that the size of the flexible screen 910 is increased, the flexible screen 910 can be unfolded along with the support structure, and a larger display area is provided for a user.

Specifically, two ends of the flexible screen 910 may be respectively fixed to the two supporting portions through a threaded connection, so that a region of the flexible screen 910 opposite to the supporting portions can form a relatively fixed relationship with the supporting portions, and at least a portion of the first region of the flexible screen 910 can be moved out of the accommodating cavity 310 under the pulling action of the two supporting portions in the process of unfolding the bracket structure. In addition, the first region of the flexible screen 910 is a portion of the flexible screen 910 between two support portions, and is disposed opposite to the intermediate connector 300 in a state where the flexible screen 910 is mounted on the bracket structure.

Optionally, at least one of the shaft holes 320 at both ends of the intermediate connecting member 300, the shaft hole 320 includes a first fitting hole 321, a second fitting hole 322 and an intermediate transition hole 323, the first fitting hole 321 is communicated with the second fitting hole 322 through the intermediate transition hole 323, the first fitting hole 321 is located at one side of the intermediate transition hole 323, the second fitting hole 322 is disposed at the other side of the intermediate transition hole 323, and the intermediate transition hole 323 faces the mounting opening. Specifically, in one embodiment, only one of the shaft holes on both sides of the intermediate attachment member includes a first mating hole 321, a second mating hole 322, and an intermediate transition hole 323. In another embodiment, the shaft holes on both sides of the intermediate connecting member each include a first mating hole 321, a second mating hole 322, and an intermediate transition hole 323. In the process of assembling the support portion and the middle connection member 300, the connection portion 120 may extend into the middle transition hole 323 through the mounting hole, and may be engaged with the first engagement hole 321 or the second engagement hole 322 after moving to one side of the middle transition hole 323, in this case, the difficulty of the connection portion 120 disengaging from the shaft hole 320 may be further increased, and the difficulty of processing the entire shaft hole 320 may be reduced.

In order to further limit the moving range of the two connecting portions 120 in the shaft hole 320, the electronic device further includes a plugging member 500, the plugging member 500 has the plugging portion 510, the plugging portion 510 can extend into the middle transition hole 323, and the plugging portion 510 and the middle transition hole 323 are in contact with the wall of the mounting opening, that is, in the process of mounting the plugging portion 510, the plugging portion 510 extends into the bottom of the middle transition hole 323 through the mounting opening, so that the first mating hole 321 and the second mating hole 322 are relatively isolated by the plugging portion 510, a large relative displacement between the supporting portion and the middle connecting member 300 due to a large moving range of the connecting portion 120 in the shaft hole 320 is prevented, and a stable mating relationship between the supporting portion and the middle connecting member 300 is further ensured. Alternatively, the blocking part 510 and the blocking piece 500 may be integrally constructed, or the blocking piece and the blocking part may be connected by gluing, welding, or the like. The blocking member is disposed on a side of the intermediate connecting member facing the accommodating chamber, which ensures that the blocking portion 510 can be stably fixed at the mounting opening. In addition, since the blocking piece 500 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 310, it is also possible to prevent components outside the electronic device from contacting with the blocking piece 500, and the blocking piece 500 is separated from the accommodating cavity 310, which may cause the blocking failure of the blocking portion 510. Specifically, a structure such as a retaining member that is engaged with the blocking member 500 may be provided on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 310, so that the blocking member 500 can be fixed to the intermediate connection member 300.

Of course, during the relative rotation of the support portion and the intermediate connector 300, there may still be a relative movement between the support portion and the intermediate connector 300, in which case, the size of the first and second

fitting holes

321 and 322 may be slightly larger than that of the connecting portion 120, so as to ensure that the connecting portion 120 can move slightly in the first fitting hole 321 (or the second fitting hole 322) to adapt to the relative movement between the support portion and the intermediate connector 300.

Further, since the relative movement between the connecting portion 120 and the intermediate connecting member 300 generally occurs in the direction of the axial direction of the mounting opening, i.e. the thickness direction of the flexible screen 910 in the unfolded state, in order to further prevent the unnecessary relative movement between the supporting portion and the intermediate connecting member 300, the shaft hole 320 may be made a kidney-shaped hole, so that the connecting portion 120 can move relative to the shaft hole 320 along the axial direction of the mounting opening, and the connecting portion 120 is limited to move in other directions in the shaft hole 320. Specifically, the length of the waist-shaped hole in the axial direction of the mounting opening may be determined according to the actual conditions such as the specific structures of the support portion and the intermediate link 300, and the width of the waist-shaped hole may be slightly larger than the size of the connecting portion 120. In addition, in the case where the shaft hole 320 includes the first coupling hole 321, the intermediate transition hole 323, and the second coupling hole 322, both the first coupling hole 321 and the second coupling hole 322 may be kidney-shaped holes.

In this case, it can be ensured that the connection portion 120 can move in the axial direction of the mounting opening relative to the intermediate connection member 300 in the shaft hole 320 to adapt to the relative movement between the support portion and the intermediate connection member 300 in the axial direction of the mounting opening during the folding and unfolding processes, and it can also be ensured that the relative movement between the support portion and the intermediate connection member 300 is limited in the distribution direction of the two support portions, thereby preventing the flexible screen 910 from being stretched or squeezed, ensuring that the flexible screen 910 has a long service life, and ensuring that the support structure is more compact.

Alternatively, the connecting portion 120 is disposed at the outer side of the supporting portion, in which case, the portion of the supporting portion where the connecting portion 120 is located may be extended into the middle connecting member 300 and be matched with the shaft hole 320, so that the supporting portion and the middle connecting member 300 can be connected in a rotating manner.

Further, the supporting portion includes a supporting body 111, a first side 112 and a second side 113, the supporting body 111 has a supporting surface, the first side 112 is opposite to the second side 113, the first side 112 is connected to one end of the supporting body 111, and the second side 113 is connected to the other end of the supporting body 111, so as to form the supporting portion. Optionally, the opposite sides of the first side 112 and the second side 113 are provided with the connecting portion 120, that is, the connecting portion 120 is disposed at the inner side of the supporting portion.

In this case, the first side 112 and the second side 113 can be disposed outside the middle connector 300, and the connecting portion 120 can be inserted into the middle connector 300 from the outside of the middle connector 300, so that on one hand, the middle connector 300 can be protected by the first side 112 and the second side 113, and on the other hand, the connecting portion 120 protruding outward can be prevented from being separated from the shaft hole 320 due to being pressed with other structures, thereby ensuring high connection reliability between the supporting portion and the middle connector 300.

Specifically, the support body 111, the first side 112 and the second side 113 may be made of metal or other materials, and the first side 112 and the second side 113 may be respectively fixed at two opposite ends of the support body 111 by welding or the like, or the first side 112 and the second side 113 may also be fixedly connected to the support body 111 by means of a connector such as a screw. The support body 111 may be a plate-shaped structural member, in which case, the first side 112 and the second side 113 may be extended out of the support body 111, and the connection portion 120 may be disposed on a portion of the first side 112 and the second side 113 extended out of the support body 111, and in a case where a portion of the intermediate connection member 300 is extended between the first side 112 and the second side 113, it may be ensured that the connection portion 120 is extended into the shaft hole 320 of the intermediate connection member 300.

Optionally, the support structure includes a first support portion 110 and a second support portion 210, the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 210 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the middle connecting member 300, a first inclined avoiding portion 130 is disposed at one end of the first support portion 110 close to the middle connecting member 300, a second inclined avoiding portion 230 is disposed at one end of the second support portion 210 close to the middle connecting member 300, and under the condition that the support structure is in the unfolding state, the middle connecting member is disposed between the first inclined avoiding portion and the second inclined avoiding portion. Optionally, when the support structure is in the unfolded state, a contact point of the intermediate connecting member with the first inclined avoiding portion is located on an inclined surface of the first inclined avoiding portion, and a contact point of the intermediate connecting member with the second inclined avoiding portion is located on an inclined surface of the second inclined avoiding portion, that is, the first inclined avoiding portion and the second inclined avoiding portion support the intermediate connecting member, so that the flexible screen disposed on the intermediate connecting member is supported by the intermediate connecting member, and at least a part of the first region of the flexible screen is moved out of the accommodating cavity 310.

Optionally, a distance between one end of the first inclined avoiding portion 130 close to the middle connecting member 300 and the plane where the supporting surface is located is a first distance, a distance between one end of the first inclined avoiding portion 130 away from the middle connecting member 300 and the plane where the supporting surface is located is a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance. That is, the closer the first angled relief 130 is to the intermediate link 300, the greater the spacing between the support surface and the portion of the first angled relief 130, thereby also providing some containment and relief for the flexible panel 910 by way of the first angled relief 130. Since the first supporting portion 110 is the same as the second supporting portion 210, a distance between one end of the second inclined avoiding portion 230 close to the middle connecting member 300 and a plane where the supporting surface is located is also a first distance, a distance between one end of the second inclined avoiding portion 230 away from the middle connecting member 300 and the plane where the supporting surface is located is also a second distance, and the first distance is also larger than the second distance.

Based on the above-described embodiment, in the case where the support structure is in the folded state, a part of the flexible panel 910 can be supported by the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and the second inclined avoiding portion 230. In this case, the first inclined bypass portion 130 and the second inclined bypass portion 230 may also provide a certain accommodation function for the flexible screen 910, so that the accommodation chamber 310 may be reduced in size within a certain range, and the intermediate connection member 300 may be reduced in size. In addition, when the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and the second inclined avoiding portion 230 are provided, the length of the region where the flexible screen 910 is bent in the folded state is increased, and the bending range of each position on the flexible screen 910 can be reduced, so that the flexible screen 910 is prevented from being damaged due to frequent bending and large bending range at certain positions, and the service life of the flexible screen 910 is seriously reduced.

Specifically, the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and the second inclined avoiding portion 230 may be formed by integral molding with the support portion, and the inclined avoiding surfaces of the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and the second inclined avoiding portion 230 may be inclined planes or inclined curved surfaces. In addition, one end of the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and one end of the second inclined avoiding portion 230 close to the middle connecting member 300 are butted with the middle connecting member 300, so that when the flexible screen 910 is bent, the bending condition of each position on the flexible screen 910 is ensured not to be suddenly changed, the whole bending amplitude of the flexible screen 910 is smoother and smoother, and the probability of damage caused by abnormal bending of the flexible screen 910 is further prevented.

More specifically, the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and the second inclined avoiding portion 230 have the same structure and size, and the first inclined avoiding portion 130 and the second inclined avoiding portion 230 are symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the middle connecting member 300, so that the bending amplitudes of the two opposite portions of the flexible screen 910 can be relatively low, and it is ensured that each portion of the flexible screen 910 is not easily damaged due to excessive bending.

Under the condition that supporting structure is in fold condition, the holding surface of first supporting part passes through the holding surface contact of flexible screen with the second supporting part, that is to say, under the condition that supporting structure is in fold condition, the flexible screen that covers on the holding surface of first supporting part and the flexible screen contact that covers on the holding surface of second supporting part can make electronic equipment have unnecessary space between first supporting part and the second supporting part under fold condition like this, thereby can reduce during the foreign matter gets into the flexible screen, thereby draw and damage the flexible screen surface.

Optionally, one end of the first supporting portion, which faces away from the middle connecting member 300, has an end portion 140, the end portion 140 is provided with an optical assembly 700, and the optical assembly 700 may specifically be a camera or an optical fingerprint identification module.

In order to make the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state relatively smaller, optionally, by increasing the size of the first supporting portion or decreasing the size of the first supporting surface, an installation space may be reserved on the first supporting portion for the optical assembly 700, and in the case that the supporting structure is in the folded state, the second supporting portion and the first supporting portion may be stacked with each other, and an orthographic projection of the optical assembly 700 on the supporting surface of the first supporting portion is located outside an orthographic projection of the second supporting portion on the supporting surface of the first supporting portion, and further when the supporting structure is in the folded state, the flexible screen 910 and the optical assembly 700 may be prevented from being stacked with each other, resulting in a relatively larger thickness of the electronic device in the folded state.

Alternatively, the thickness of the end portion 140 in the direction in which the support surface of the first support portion faces is a third distance, the thickness of the position of the first support portion having the support surface in the direction is a fourth distance, and the third distance may be larger than the fourth distance. And the thickness of the position of the second support portion having the support surface in the direction is a fifth distance. In one embodiment, the third distance is equal to the sum of the fourth distance and the fifth distance, such that the thickness of the end portion 140 in this direction is exactly the same as the thickness of the first support portion in this direction after the first support portion overlaps the second support portion in the folded state of the support structure. Therefore, the appearance consistency of the electronic equipment in the folded state can be improved, and the use discomfort of the user caused by the local bulge of the electronic equipment is prevented.

Based on the above embodiment, in order to ensure that the electronic device has the capability of front-facing and rear-facing camera shooting at the same time, the optical assemblies 700 may be at least two groups, one group of optical assemblies 700 faces the side of the electronic device where the flexible screen 910 is located, and the other group of optical assemblies 700 faces the side of the electronic device away from the flexible screen 910.

In other embodiments of the application, the second display screen 920 is disposed on the other side of the first supporting portion, which is away from the first supporting surface, the flexible screen 910 and the second display screen 920 are both connected to the optical assembly 700, in this case, an image captured by the optical assembly 700 may be displayed on the flexible screen 910 or the second display screen 920, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the flexible screen 910 and the second display screen 920 are disposed opposite to each other, because the flexible screen 910 and the second display screen 920 are both connected to the optical assembly 700, and therefore when the number of the optical assemblies 700 is a group, the electronic device can also be ensured to have the front-end and rear-end image capturing functions at the same time, and the front-end image capturing capability can be improved. The second display 920 may be a hard screen or a flexible screen 910. In addition, the second supporting portion has a second supporting surface, and a side of the second supporting portion facing away from the second supporting surface may be provided with a cover plate 930.

In the embodiment of the present application, the supporting portion of the electronic device further includes a sidewall, the sidewall is adjacent to the supporting surface of the electronic device supporting structure, and the sidewall is further provided with a function key, such as a volume key 810, a power-on key 820, and the like.
