All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged, as appropriate, such that embodiments of the present application may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the objects identified by "first," "second," etc. are generally of a type, and are not limited to the number of objects, such as the first object may be one or more. Furthermore, in the description and claims, "and/or" means at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/", generally means that the associated object is an "or" relationship.
The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 17 through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application includes a first housing 100, two first supports 200, a flexible screen 300, a driving assembly 400, and two second supports 500, wherein the first housing 100 is a machine member, and the first supports 200, the flexible screen 300, the driving assembly 400, and/or the second supports 500 provide a mounting basis.
Referring to fig. 5, two first supporting members 200 are respectively disposed at two ends of the first housing 100, and the two first supporting members 200 are slidably engaged with the first housing 100, and the driving assembly 400 is used for driving the two first supporting members 200 to slide relative to the first housing 100. The first housing 100 may provide a receiving chamber in which the first support 200 is disposed. The first housing 100 and the first supporting member 200 are slidably engaged, so that the first supporting member 200 can slide out from the accommodating cavity, and further the supporting surface for supporting the flexible screen 300 is increased, so that the flexible screen 300 provides a supporting foundation for the flexible screen 300 in the case that the display area of the electronic device is increased.
The flexible screen 300 includes a fixed section 310 and two movable sections 320, the fixed section 310 is fixedly connected with the first housing 100, the movable sections 320 are in one-to-one correspondence with the first supporting members 200, and the movable sections 320 are in sliding fit with the first supporting members 200. During the relative sliding of the first support 200 and the first housing 100, the flexible screen 300 slides along the first support 200. Specifically, in the case where the first support 200 is slid in a direction away from the first housing 100, the movable section 320 is moved from the first side of the first support 200 to the second side of the first support 200, thereby increasing the display area of the flexible screen 300 on the second side of the first support 200. In case that the first support 200 is slid in a direction approaching the first housing 100, the movable section 320 is moved from the second side of the first support 200 to the first side of the first support 200, thereby reducing the display area of the flexible screen 300 on the second side of the first support 200.
Referring to fig. 1 and 6, the first housing 100 may be provided with a screen support plate, and the fixing section 310 in the flexible screen 300 may be fixedly provided on the screen support plate to avoid the fixing section 310 in the flexible screen 300 from being depressed after being stressed. The fixing section 310 in the flexible screen 300 can be fixedly attached to the first housing 100, so that not only can the stability of the assembly of the flexible screen 300 and the first housing 100 be improved, but also the bending of the fixing section 310 in the flexible screen 300 can be avoided, and the fixing section 310 in the flexible screen 300 is protected.
The two second supporting members 500 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the two movable segments 320, the second supporting members 500 are disposed on one side of the movable segments 320 near the first supporting member 200, and the second supporting members 500 can move along the first supporting member 200 along with the movable segments 320. In case the second support 500 is moved to the second side of the first support 200, i.e. the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300 is located on the same side of the first support 200 as the fixed section 310 in the flexible screen 300, the side of the second support 500 facing away from the flexible screen 300 may be supported on the first support 200. The second supporting member 500 moves along the first supporting member 200 along with the flexible screen 300, so that the height difference between the first supporting member 200 and the first housing 100 can be compensated by the second supporting member 500, so that the fixed section 310 in the flexible screen 300 can be supported on the first supporting member 200 by the second supporting member 500 under the condition of moving to the second side of the first supporting member 200, and the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300 is prevented from being sunken after being stressed. Optionally, the thickness of the first support 200 of the second support 500 is not less than the thickness of the screen support plate of the first housing 100 supporting the fixed section 310 of the flexible screen 300.
In the above embodiment, the second supporting member 500 moves along the first supporting member 200 along with the flexible screen 300, so that dynamic supporting can be implemented on the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300, that is, the area of the second supporting member 500 on the second side of the first supporting member 200 is always equal to the area of the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300 on the second side of the first supporting member 200, so that the second supporting member 500 can provide effective supporting for the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300, so as to prevent the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300 from being depressed after being stressed. Because the second supporting piece 500 and the flexible screen 300 are in synchronous motion, the display area of the electronic equipment can be adjusted steplessly in the display area adjustable range of the display screen of the electronic equipment, and the flexible screen 300 can be effectively supported in the display area adjustable range of the electronic equipment, so that stress depression of the flexible screen 300 is avoided. In addition, the second supporting member 500 is located at one side of the movable section 320 of the flexible screen 300, which is close to the first supporting member 200, so that the flexible screen 300 and the first supporting member 200 can be prevented from rubbing against each other, abrasion of the flexible screen 300 is avoided, and the service life of the flexible screen 300 is prolonged.
One end of the second supporting member 500 near the first housing 100 may be connected to the first housing 100, so that the first housing 100 may directly pull the second supporting member 500 to move along the surface of the first supporting member 200, thereby reducing the stress of the flexible screen 300 and achieving the purpose of protecting the flexible screen 300. Of course, the second supporting member 500 may be further adhered to a side of the movable section 320 adjacent to the first supporting member 200.
Referring to fig. 7, the width and/or length of the second support 500 may be not less than the width and/or length of the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300, so that the second support 500 can effectively support the movable section 320 in the flexible screen 300. Referring to fig. 5, the second side of the first support 200 may be provided with a support surface on which the second support 500 may be supported to provide stable supporting force for the flexible screen 300. The second side of the first support member 200 is provided with a supporting surface, which can reduce the requirement on the hardness of the second support member 500, so as to provide a wider material selecting space for the second support member 500, and the hardness of the second support member 500 can be reduced under the support of the supporting surface of the second side of the first support member 200. The second supporting member 500 may be a supporting layer made of a flexible material, so that the second supporting member 500 can be bent after being stressed, and further the second supporting member 500 can move along the surface of the second supporting member 500 under the driving of the first housing 100. Further, a side of the second support 500 facing away from the flexible screen 300 is provided with a V-shaped groove to reduce internal stress generated after the second support 500 is bent.
There are many kinds of flexible materials, for example: polyester elastomer material, acryl elastomer material, vinyl elastomer material, fluorine/silicon elastomer material, and the like. The present application is not limited to the specific material of the second supporting member 500.
Referring to fig. 4 and 7 to 9, the second support 500 may further include a plurality of support bodies 520, the support bodies 520 are elongated, the plurality of support bodies 520 are disposed in parallel and spaced apart from one side of the flexible screen 300 adjacent to the first support 200, and the support bodies 520 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the flexible screen 300. The plurality of support bodies 520 are disposed in parallel and spaced apart from the flexible screen 300, that is, two adjacent support bodies 520 may be connected through the flexible screen 300, so that the second support 500 may be bent at a gap between two adjacent support bodies 520, and further, the second support 500 may be bent along the surface of the first support 200. The length direction of the support body 520 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the flexible screen 300, so that the support body 520 may be bent along the edge of the first support 200, enabling the second support 500 to be better supported on the first support 200. The width of the side of the support body 520 near the flexible screen 300 may be greater than the width of the side of the support body 520 far from the flexible screen 300, so that a V-shaped or wedge-shaped gap is formed between the two connected support bodies 520, and thus the area of the support body 520 supporting the flexible screen 300 may be increased while avoiding the two support bodies 520 from being pressed against each other. The supporting body 520 may be made of a hard material, so as to reduce deformation of the supporting body 520 after being stressed, and further provide better support for the flexible screen 300, so as to avoid the flexible screen 300 from being depressed after being stressed.
It should be noted that, one of the purposes of the support body 520 is to support the flexible screen 300 to avoid the flexible screen 300 from being depressed when the user operates on the flexible screen 300, that is, the support body 520 only needs to support the flexible screen 300 so that the user cannot feel the flexible screen 300 when the user operates on the flexible screen 300. Accordingly, materials that can make the deformation amount of the support body 520 imperceptible to the user under the force applied to the flexible screen 300 by the user can be applied to the support body 520 described in the above embodiments. A number of materials are suitable for making the support body 520, such as: polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, and the like. The specific material of the support body 520 is not limited in the present application.
The second support 500 may further include a flexible connection member 510, where the flexible connection member 510 is disposed on a side of the support body 520 near the flexible screen 300, that is, the plurality of support bodies 520 may be connected by the flexible connection member 510, so that the stress of the flexible screen 300 may be reduced. The flexible connector 510 connects the flexible screen 300 and/or the first housing 100 such that the support body 520 can move along the surface of the first support 200 with the flexible screen 300. The flexible connection unit 510 is connected to the first housing 100, and in a case that the first housing 100 is far away from the first support unit 200, the first housing 100 can directly drive the flexible connection unit 510, and further drive the plurality of support bodies 520 to move, so as to reduce stress of the flexible screen 300, and achieve the purpose of protecting the flexible screen 300. Of course, the flexible connection unit 510 may also be connected to the movable section 320 of the flexible screen 300, and the movable section 320 is used to drive the flexible connection unit 510 to move relative to the first support 200. Specifically, the flexible connection unit 510 may be fixedly attached to a side of the movable section 320 adjacent to the first support 200. Of course, the flexible connector 510 may also be coupled to both the first housing 100 and the movable section 320 of the flexible screen 300.
The flexible connector 510 may be made of a flexible material. There are many kinds of flexible materials, for example: polyester elastomer material, acryl elastomer material, vinyl elastomer material, fluorine/silicon elastomer material, and the like. The specific materials of the flexible connector 510 are not limited by the present application.
Referring to fig. 3 to 6, the electronic device may further include a gear 900, the gear 900 being rotatably provided to the first support 200. The teeth of the gear 900 are engaged with the support body 520, and in the case that the second support 500 of the first housing 100 slides relative to the first support 200, the second support 500 drives the gear 900 to rotate, and the movable section 320 of the flexible screen 300 can be switched between the first side of the first support 200 and the second side of the first support 200 along the engagement surface of the gear 900 and the second support 500.
In the above embodiment, the gear 900 may convert the sliding fit between the bending of the flexible screen 300 and the first support 200 into a revolute pair between the gear 900 and the first support 200, so as to effectively reduce the resistance of the first support 200 moving along the surface of the first support 200, reduce the tensile force applied to the second support 500 and/or the flexible screen 300, and reduce the abrasion loss of the contact surface between the second support 500 and the first support 200. In addition, the teeth of the gear 900 are engaged with the gaps between the adjacent two support bodies 520, so that the gear 900 can play a role in guiding and positioning during the bending of the second support 500 to avoid the transitional extrusion between the adjacent two support bodies 520.
Referring to fig. 4 and 9, as the support body 520 is engaged with the gear 900, the support body 520 slides into the gear 900 along the edges of the teeth of the gear 900, and as the support body 520 is inserted into the gear 900, the distance between the sides of the adjacent two support bodies 520 away from the flexible connection member 510 is reduced, while the degree of bending of the second support member 500 is gradually increased, i.e., the gear 900 has the function of guiding the bending deformation of the second support member 500. Because the teeth of the gear 900 are embedded into the gap between the two adjacent support bodies 520, the teeth of the gear 900 can support the two adjacent support bodies 520, the too small space between the two adjacent support bodies 520 is avoided, and the transition bending of the second support 500 and the flexible screen 300 is further prevented, so that the purpose of protecting the second support 500 and the flexible screen 300 is achieved.
Referring to fig. 4 and 9, the second supporter 500 may further include a first supporting portion 530 and a second supporting portion 540, the first supporting portion 530 and the second supporting portion 540 being located at the root of the supporting body 520. In the case where the flexible screen 300 is bent with a curvature smaller than that of the corresponding circular arc section of the gear 900, a wedge-shaped gap or a "V" shaped gap may be formed between the first support part 530 and the second support part 540 between the adjacent two support bodies 520. In the case where the flexible screen 300 is bent to have a curvature greater than or equal to that of the corresponding circular arc section of the gear 900, the first support part 530 and the second support part 540 between the adjacent two support bodies 520 support each other. In the process of moving along the first support 200, the second support 500 drives the gear 900 to rotate, so that the stability of the support main body 520 near to the flexible screen 300 can be improved and the tensile force applied to the flexible connector 510 and/or the flexible screen 300 can be reduced by using the first support 530 and the second support 540 to support each other. The wedge-shaped gap or the V-shaped gap between the first support 530 and the second support 540 may prevent the support force between the first support 530 and the second support 540 from being excessively large, facilitating the bending of the second support 500 and/or the flexible screen 300.
The first support 530 and the second support 540 may be made of an elastic material so that dimensional errors in manufacturing the first support 530 and the second support 540 are eliminated by deformation of the first support 530 and the second support 540, and stability of the support body 520 near the flexible screen 300 may be improved by elastic force between the first support 530 and the second support 540.
There are many kinds of elastic materials, for example: polyester elastomer material, acryl elastomer material, vinyl elastomer material, fluorine/silicon elastomer material, and the like.
