In the exemplary configuration of fig. 1, the electronic device 20 is a portable device, such as a cellular telephone, tablet computer, or other portable computing device. Other configurations may be used for the electronic device 20, if desired. The example of fig. 1 is merely exemplary. The electronic device 20 includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other, wherein the first side may be a front side of the electronic device 20, and the second side may be a back side of the electronic device 20.

The electronic device 20 may include a housing assembly 200, the housing assembly 200 being configured to form an exterior contour of the electronic device 20, the housing assembly 200 also being configured to receive components of the electronic device 20. The housing assembly 200 includes a first carrier 220, a second carrier 240 and a deformation mechanism 260,

the first and

second carriers

220 and 240 may be relatively moved in a direction approaching or departing from each other, so as to achieve the expansion and contraction of the first and

second carriers

As shown in fig. 1, the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 move relatively to each other and are folded, that is, the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 move relatively in a direction approaching each other to form a final state, at this time, the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 are mutually embedded to form an accommodating space, and the deformation mechanism 260 is hidden in the accommodating space, so that the user cannot observe the deformation mechanism 260 from the outside. The state in which the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 move relatively to each other and are unfolded can be referred to fig. 2, that is, the state in which the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 move relatively in the direction away from each other and are finally formed, and at this time, the deformation mechanism 260 originally hidden in the accommodating space is exposed outside the electronic device 20.

It is to be understood that the one or more unfolded states of the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 in the embodiments of the present application are only examples and do not limit the unfolded states of the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 in the embodiments of the present application.

In the sliding process of the fifth movable plate 262e, the fifth movable plate 262e and the fourth movable plate 2622d are pushed to rotate relatively, the fourth movable plate 2622d and the third movable plate 2622c rotate relatively, the third movable plate 2622c and the second movable plate 2622b rotate relatively, and the second movable plate 2622b and the first movable plate 2622a rotate relatively, so that the second movable plate 2622b, the third movable plate 2622c and the fourth movable plate 2622d are drawn together and arched to protrude outside the second carrier 240, thereby forming a trapezoidal structure as shown in fig. 7 and 8.

When the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 are unfolded, the last movable plate 2622 of the at least three movable plates 2622 can slide toward a direction close to the first movable plate 2622 of the at least three movable plates 2622, so that the remaining movable plates can be arched to protrude outside the second carrier 240, and form the first predetermined structure in the first position.

For example, the first deforming assembly 262 may include a first movable plate 2622a, a second movable plate 2622b, a third movable plate 2622c, and a fourth movable plate 2622d connected in sequence.

The second preset structure may be a triangular structure, a rectangular structure, a trapezoidal structure, etc. The second predetermined structure may be the same as the first predetermined structure or may be different from the first predetermined structure.

For another example, referring to fig. 6 to 8, the second carrier 240 may further be provided with two second sliding rails 243, wherein one second sliding rail 243 is located at the third side portion 246 of the second carrier 240, and the other second sliding rail 243 is located at the fourth side portion 248 of the second carrier 240. The number of the second slide rails 243 provided on the second carrier 240 is not limited to two. It is also possible that the second carrier 240 is provided with only one second slide rail 243 at one of the side edges. The second carrier 240 is provided with two second slide rails 243 for example. The second slide rail 243 at the third side 246 may be in communication with the first slide rail 241 at the third side 246, and the second slide rail 243 at the fourth side 248 may be in communication with the second slide rail 243 at the fourth side 248. Of course, the two second slide rails 243 may not be connected to the two first slide rails 241, or one second slide rail 243 is connected to one first slide rail 241, and the other second slide rail 243 is not connected to the other first slide rail 241.

For another example, the second deforming assembly 264 may also include at least four movable plates 2622, such as four movable plates, five movable plates, six movable plates, or other numbers of movable plates. Two adjacent movable plates 2622 of the at least four movable plates 2622 are connected by the rotating member 280, and a first movable plate 2622 of the at least four movable plates 2622 is connected to the other side of the second carrier 240, and two ends of the first movable plate 2622 are respectively limited in the two second sliding rails 243, such as the sliding grooves of the second sliding rails 243. The last movable plate 2622 of the at least four movable plates 2622 is slidable within the slide slot of the second slide rail 243. When the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 are unfolded, the last movable plate 2622 of the at least four movable plates 2622 can slide toward a direction close to the first movable plate 2622 of the at least four movable plates 2622, so that the movable plates 2622 except the first movable plate 2622 of the at least four movable plates and the last movable plate 2622 of the at least four movable plates 2622 are arched and protruded outside the second carrier 240, and a second predetermined structure is formed at the second position, which will be specifically referred to the related description of the first deforming assembly 262 and will not be described herein again.

Wherein a portion of the flexible screen assembly 400 is also received within the receiving space. When the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 move relatively in a direction away from each other in the storage state, the first driving component and the second driving component may drive the flexible screen assembly 400 to move in a direction outside the accommodating space, or outside the electronic device 20, so that a portion of the flexible screen assembly 400 originally stored in the accommodating space is expanded outside the accommodating space, or outside the electronic device 20, so that the electronic device 20 is expanded, and the display area of the electronic device 20 is increased. When the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 240 move relatively in a direction approaching each other in the unfolded state, the first driving part and the second driving part may drive the flexible screen assembly 400 to move in a direction toward the inside of the electronic device 20, so that a portion of the flexible screen assembly 400 originally unfolded outside the electronic device 20 is retracted into the electronic device 20, so that the electronic device 20 returns to a conventional appearance form, and is convenient to carry.
