Therefore, the electronic equipment can realize the switching between the small screen and the large screen by the contraction of the shell 10, and compared with the prior art, the electronic equipment does not fold the flexible screen 20, so that the electronic equipment avoids the crease generated after the folding flexible screen is used for a long time, and the use experience of a user is improved; moreover, in the state that the flexible screen 20 is extended, the telescopic mechanism 40 can support the flexible screen 20 to prevent the flexible screen 20 from being deformed under the action of external force or self gravity, so that the flexible screen 20 can keep a stable display form in the unfolding state, and the display effect of electronic setting is improved.

Specifically, the housing 10 may be made of plastic, glass, ceramic, fiber composite material, metal (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), or any combination of two or more of these materials, and the specific material of the housing 10 is not limited in this embodiment, and may be set according to actual requirements. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, one end of the flexible screen 20 is connected to the first housing 11, the other end of the flexible screen 20 is connected to the second housing 12, the telescoping mechanism 40 is disposed on the non-display side of the flexible screen 20 (in fig. 3 and 4, the flexible screen 20 is hidden for displaying the telescoping mechanism 40), one end 41 of the telescoping mechanism 40 is connected to the first housing 11, the other end 42 is connected to the second housing 12, the telescoping mechanism 40 may include a plurality of telescoping units 43, two adjacent telescoping units 43 are at least partially sleeved with each other, and, the adjacent two telescopic units 43 can slide relatively, so that one end 41 and the other end 42 of the telescopic mechanism 40 are far away from or close to each other, with one end 41 and the other end 42 of the telescopic mechanism 40 away from each other, the flexible screen 20 is extended, with one end 41 and the other end 42 of the telescopic mechanism 40 close to each other, the flexible screen 20 is contracted. It can be seen that the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 of the electronic device can be far away from or close to each other through the telescopic mechanism 40, so that the flexible screen of the electronic device can be switched between a small screen and a large screen, and when the flexible screen 20 is contracted into the small screen, the electronic device is very convenient to carry and store.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, the telescopic mechanism 40 may include a plurality of telescopic units 43, two adjacent telescopic units 43 are at least partially sleeved with each other, and the two adjacent telescopic units 43 are slidable relative to each other to move the one end 41 and the other end 42 of the telescopic mechanism 40 away from each other (as shown in fig. 4 and 6) or close to each other (as shown in fig. 3 and 5).

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the flexible screen 20 is a display screen of an electronic device, and has characteristics of low power consumption, flexibility, and the like, one end of the flexible screen 20 is connected to the first housing 11, and the other end of the flexible screen 20 is connected to the second housing 12, and with reference to the direction of the drawing, the first housing 11 is a housing shown on the right, and the second housing 12 is a housing shown on the left. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, under the condition that one end and the other end of the telescopic mechanism 40 are far away from each other, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are far away from each other, the flexible screen 20 extends, under the condition that one end 41 and the other end 42 of the telescopic mechanism 40 are close to each other, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are close to each other, and the flexible screen 20 contracts, so that the electronic device can switch between a small screen and a large screen through the contraction of the housing main body 10. It should be noted that the specific size (the length in the left-right direction shown in the figure) of the flexible panel 20 when switched to the large panel is determined by the number of the telescopic units 43, which is not limited in this embodiment, and may be specifically set according to actual requirements.

Particularly, because telescopic machanism 40 is located the non-display side of flexible screen 20, like this, under the state that flexible screen 20 extends, telescopic machanism 40 can support flexible screen 20 to avoid flexible screen 20 to produce deformation under external force or self action of gravity, make flexible screen 20 when the expansion state, can keep stable display form, thereby improve electronic equipment's display effect.

The specific shapes of the two housings may not be limited in this embodiment, and may be specifically limited according to actual situations.

In an alternative embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 7, the telescopic unit 43 may include a first slider 432 and a second slider 431, the first slider 432 being fixedly connected with the second slider 431; as shown in fig. 3 to 6, in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 is sleeved outside the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit, and the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 slides relative to the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit 43.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the telescopic unit 43 may include a first slider 432 and a second slider 431, and the first slider 432 and the second slider 431 are fixedly connected, in which the first slider 432 and the second slider 431 are connected so that relative movement does not occur, for example, a connection manner such as adhesion and welding.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 is sleeved outside the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit 43, and the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 slides relative to the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit 43, so that, in the telescopic mechanism 40, if the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 and the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit 43 slide in a direction approaching to each other (from the state of fig. 4 to the state of fig. 3, or from the state of fig. 6 to the state of fig. 5), the telescopic mechanism 40 extends and drives the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to move away from each other, and at this time, the flexible screen 20 extends; conversely, if the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 and the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit 43 slide in a direction away from each other (from the state of fig. 3 to the state of fig. 4, or from the state of fig. 5 to the state of fig. 6), the telescopic mechanism 40 contracts and brings the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 close to each other, and at this time, the flexible screen 20 contracts.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the first sliding member 432 of one telescopic unit 43 is sleeved outside the second sliding member 431 of the other telescopic unit, that is, the cross-sectional area of the first sliding member 432 is larger than that of the second sliding member 431, wherein the height of the first sliding member 432 is larger than that of the second sliding member 431, and the length of the first sliding member 432 is larger than that of the second sliding member 431.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 4, in the direction from the first end 41 to the second end 42 (the direction from the right to the left), for the telescopic unit 43 of the telescopic mechanism 40 close to the first housing 11, if the first slide 432 of the telescopic unit 43 is connected to the first housing 11, and so on, in the telescopic unit 43 of the telescopic mechanism 40 close to the second housing 12, the second slide 431 (abbreviated as the leftmost second slide) of the telescopic unit 43 should be connected to the second housing 12, in fig. 4, a first slide 432 (abbreviated as the middle left end first slide 432) is provided between the leftmost second slide 431 and the second housing 12, the leftmost second slide 431 is connected to the second housing 12 through the middle left end first slide, since the cross-sectional area of the first slide 432 is larger than that of the second slide 431, the area of the connection surface between the second housing 12 and the telescopic mechanism 40 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection of the second housing 12 to the telescoping mechanism 40. Similarly, in the direction from the second end 42 to the first end 41 (the direction from the left to the right), in the telescopic unit 43 at the end of the telescopic mechanism 40 close to the second housing 12, if the first slide member 432 of the telescopic unit 43 is connected to the second housing 12, and so on, in the telescopic unit 43 at the end of the telescopic mechanism 40 close to the first housing 11, the second slide member 431 (simply referred to as the rightmost second slide member 431) of the telescopic unit 43 should be connected to the first housing 11, in fig. 4, one first slide member 432 (simply referred to as the middle right first slide member 432) should be provided between the leftmost second slide member 431 and the first housing 11, the rightmost second slide member 431 is connected to the first housing 11 through the middle first slide member, and since the cross-sectional area of the first slide member 432 is larger than that of the second slide member 431, the area of the connection surface between the first housing 11 and the telescopic mechanism 40 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection of the first housing 44 to the telescoping mechanism 40.

In an alternative embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, the first sliding member 432 is a first sleeve, and the second sliding member 431 is a second sleeve; the inner wall of the first sleeve is provided with a sliding groove 4321, and the sliding groove 4321 is arranged along the extending direction of the telescopic mechanism 40; the second sleeve is provided with a projection 4311, and in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the projection 4311 on the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 4321 in the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43.

As known to those skilled in the art, the interior of the sleeve is hollow. As shown in fig. 7, the first sliding member 432 may be a rectangular parallelepiped or a square, so that when the entire telescopic mechanism 40 supports the flexible screen 20, the flatness of the flexible screen 20 can be ensured.

Specifically, referring to fig. 8, a sliding groove 4321 is provided on the inner wall of the first slider 432 (first sleeve), and the sliding groove 4321 is provided along the extending direction (the left-right direction in the figure) of the telescopic mechanism; the second sliding member 431 (the second sleeve) is provided with a bump 4311, and in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the bump 4311 on the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 is slidably connected to the sliding slot 4321 in the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43, that is, the bump 4311 on the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 is slidably engaged with the sliding slot 4321 in the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43, so as to drive the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 and the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43 to slide relatively. Thus, the smoothness and stability of the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 and the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43 in sliding can be improved. It should be noted that the structure of the projection 4311 is matched with the structure of the sliding slot 4321, for example, the sliding slot 4321 is rectangular, and the projection 4311 is rectangular.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8, in the extending direction of the telescopic mechanism, the length of the sliding groove 4321 is smaller than the length of the first sliding part 432, and the end of the sliding groove 4321 is a preset distance away from the end of the first sliding part 432.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, in the extending direction of the telescopic mechanism 40, the sliding groove 4321 in the first sleeve is not a through groove, so that the sliding groove 4321 itself can be used as a limiting structure, and for two adjacent telescopic units 43, the protrusion 4311 on the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 can be prevented from being separated from the sliding groove 4321 in the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43.

It should be noted that, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are far away from each other, the retractable mechanism 40 can be fully deployed when each projection 4311 slides to the limit position of the corresponding sliding slot 4321. Conversely, when the first housing and the second housing are close to each other, the retractable mechanism 40 can be fully retracted when each projection 4311 slides to the limit position of the corresponding sliding slot 4321. The length of the sliding groove 4321 determines the sliding limit position of the projection 4311, the length of the sliding groove 4321 is related to a preset distance, in order to maximize the screen of the flexible screen 20 when the screen is extended to improve the visual experience of a user, or in order to minimize the screen of the flexible screen 20 when the screen is retracted to improve the convenience of carrying and storing the electronic device, the preset distance is as small as possible, for example, the preset distance is not more than 0.5mm, and of course, the specific setting value of the preset distance may not be limited in this embodiment, and may be flexibly set according to actual requirements.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 7, the protrusion 4311 is disposed at one end of the second sleeve far from the first sleeve, so that, in two adjacent telescopic units 43, a sliding distance between the protrusion 4311 on the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 and the sliding groove 4321 in the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43 is the largest, the longer the telescopic mechanism 40 is in the extended state, the larger the display area of the flexible screen 20 is when extended, and the visual experience of the user can be improved. The length of the projection 4311 can be set according to the required extending or retracting distance, and the specific length of the projection 4311 is not limited in this embodiment.

It should be noted that the bump 4311 may be disposed at the bottom or the middle of one end of the second sliding member 431 away from the first sliding member 432, the specific disposition position of the sliding block may not be limited in this embodiment, and the disposition position of the sliding groove 4321 may be disposed corresponding to the disposition position of the bump 4311.

Optionally, the first sleeve includes a first inner wall and a second inner wall opposite to each other, and the first inner wall and the second inner wall are both provided with sliding grooves 4321.

Specifically, for two adjacent telescopic units 43, in order to improve the stability and smoothness of the sliding of the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 in the first sleeve of the other telescopic unit 43, the present embodiment may be provided with sliding grooves 4321 on the first inner wall and the second inner wall opposite to the first sleeve. In addition, in order to further improve the sliding balance of the second sleeve of one telescopic unit 43 in the first sleeve of another telescopic unit 43, the sliding groove 4321 on the first inner wall and the sliding groove 4321 on the second inner wall are symmetrically arranged, so that when the flexible screen 20 extends, the flatness of the flexible screen 20 can be ensured, and the display effect of the flexible screen is further improved.

In another optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sliding part 432 has an accommodating cavity, a sliding rail is disposed on a bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, and the sliding rail is disposed along an extending direction of the telescopic mechanism 40; the bottom surface of the second sliding member 431 is provided with a roller, and the roller on the second sliding member 431 of one telescopic unit 43 is slidably connected to the slide rail of the first sliding member 432 of the other telescopic unit 43 in two adjacent telescopic units 43.

Specifically, two adjacent telescopic units 43 can slide relatively, and besides the above-mentioned sliding fit between the projection 4311 and the sliding groove 4321, the engagement between the roller and the sliding rail can also be used. First slider 432 has and holds the chamber, can set up the slide rail on the diapire that holds the chamber, and the slide rail sets up along telescopic machanism 40's extending direction, is equipped with the gyro wheel on first slider 432's the bottom surface, in two adjacent telescopic unit 43, that is, the gyro wheel on the second slider 431 of a telescopic unit 43 inlays and locates in the slide rail of first slider 432 of another telescopic unit 43 to can slide on the slide rail, like this, can improve two adjacent telescopic unit 43 smoothness and stability when relative slip.

Further, in order to improve the balance of two adjacent telescopic units 43 when sliding relatively, so that the flexible screen 20 can ensure the flatness of the flexible screen 20 when extending, and further improve the display effect of the flexible screen 20, this embodiment can be provided with two slide rails symmetrically arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, two rollers are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the first slide part 432, one roller corresponds to one slide rail, and each roller on the second slide part 431 of one telescopic unit 43 is embedded in the corresponding slide rail of the first slide part 432 of the other telescopic unit 43.

Further, in the case where the flexible screen 20 is contracted, the adjacent two first sliding members 432 are contacted.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, when the flexible screen is contracted, the telescopic mechanism 40 is in a contracted state, and at this time, two adjacent first sliding members 432 are in contact, that is, in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the second sliding member 431 of one telescopic unit 43 can be completely accommodated in the second sliding member 432 of the other telescopic unit 43, so that the length of the electronic device can be made smaller, and the convenience of carrying and storing the electronic device can be improved.

In another optional embodiment of the present application, the telescopic unit 43 may further include: the third sliding part is sleeved outside one part of the fourth sliding part; in two adjacent telescopic units 43, the third sliding member of one telescopic unit 43 is sleeved outside the other part of the fourth sliding member of the other telescopic unit; under the condition that the flexible screen 20 is contracted, in two adjacent telescopic units, the fourth sliding part of one telescopic unit is accommodated in the third sliding part of one telescopic unit and the third sliding part of the other telescopic unit.
