The embodiment of the application provides a folding display terminal, which can be a product with a display interface, such as a mobile phone, a display, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted computer and the like. The embodiment of the present application does not specially limit the specific form of the folding display terminal.
As shown in fig. 1, the folding display terminal 01 includes a flexible display screen 10. The flexible display screen 10 is, for example, an Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) display screen.
The AMOLED display screen is a self-luminous display screen, and a Back Light Module (BLM) is not required. Therefore, when the substrate in the AMOLED display screen is made of a flexible resin material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the AMOLED display screen can have a bendable characteristic.
This application embodiment is with folding display terminal outside as an example, and wherein, folding display terminal of outer folding design, when fold condition, flexible display screen is located the equipment outside.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1, the foldable display terminal 01 further includes a folding assembly 20 for carrying the flexible display screen 10.
The folding assembly 20 includes a first housing 201, a second housing 202, and a hinge 203 between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202.
The first housing 201 and the second housing 202 may be a middle frame structure of the electronic device. Illustratively, the first housing 201 is, for example, a main middle frame, and the second housing 202 is, for example, a sub-middle frame.
In some embodiments of the present application, the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are rotatable about the axis O-O of the rotating shaft 203, respectively.
In order to rotatably connect the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 through the rotating shaft 203, the folding assembly 20 further includes a rotating member 204.
One end of the rotating member 204 is connected to the rotating shaft 203, and the other end is slidably connected to the second housing 202.
The first housing 201 and the second housing 202 can rotate along the axis of the rotation shaft 203, respectively, so as to fold or unfold the flexible display screen 10. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the flexible display screen 10 may be bent and flattened, wherein fig. 1 and 2 illustrate a folding process of the flexible display screen 10 from 180 ° to 0 ° or a flattening process of the flexible display screen from 0 ° to 180 °.
As shown in fig. 1, when the included angle α between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 increases to 180 °, the flexible display 10 is in the unfolded state.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, when the included angle α between the first casing 201 and the second casing 202 is 0 °, the flexible display 10 is in the folded state.
It should be noted that the included angle α may have an error of 0 ° or 180 °, and the error range is, for example, ± 5 °, which all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
In some embodiments, the second housing 202 is slidable back and forth relative to the rotation member 204, and a spring is installed between the second housing 202 and the rotation member 204, and the left and right portions of the screen are respectively fixed to the first housing 201 and the second housing 202. In the bending process, the length of the screen is ensured to be unchanged through the movement of the second shell 202, when the screen is closed, the second shell 202 is pulled by the screen to move towards the rotating shaft direction, and when the screen is unfolded, the spring pushes the second shell 202 to move towards the direction far away from the rotating shaft.
However, the second housing 202 is pushed by a spring, and the spring compression amount is larger and larger in the process from the unfolding to the closing, and the flexible display screen is also subjected to larger and larger tension, so that material creep or plastic shear deformation is easily formed for a long time.
The second housing 202 has no rigid support in the moving direction, and the flexible display screen is arched when an external force presses the second housing 202.
To avoid the flexible display arching or reduce the pulling force that the flexible display received, this application embodiment provides an improved folding assembly.

The folding assembly 20 includes: the rotating shaft 203, the first casing 201, the rotating part 204 and the second casing 202, wherein the first casing 201 and the rotating part 204 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 203, and the second casing 202 is slidably connected with the rotating part 204.
The sliding connection structure between the rotating member 204 and the second housing 202 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, a protruding portion 2020 is disposed on the second housing 202, and a recessed portion 2040 adapted to the protruding portion 2020 is disposed on the rotating member 204, so that when the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 rotate around the rotating shaft, the protruding portion 2020 slides along the recessed portion 2040.
Illustratively, when the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 rotate around the rotation axis 203, so that the included angle α between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 is less than 180 °, the flexible display screen 10 is folded.
During the folding process of the flexible display screen 10, the second housing 202 slides relative to the rotating member 204 in a direction approaching the rotating shaft 203. Therefore, the second shell 202 can slide relative to the rotating piece 204, the pulling force on the flexible display screen is reduced, and the phenomenon that the pulling force on the flexible display screen is too large in the bending process is avoided.
Alternatively, when the first casing 201 and/or the second casing 202 rotate around the rotating shaft 203, so that the included angle α between the first casing 201 and the second casing 202 increases to 180 °, the flexible display screen 10 is in the unfolded state.
During the unfolding process of the flexible display screen 10, the second housing 202 slides relative to the rotating member 204 in a direction away from the rotating shaft 203. Therefore, the second shell 202 can slide relative to the rotating piece 204, the pulling force on the flexible display screen is reduced, and the phenomenon that the pulling force on the flexible display screen is too large in the extending process is avoided.
In the rotating mechanism provided by the embodiment of the application, the second housing 202 is connected with the rotating member 204 in a sliding manner, so that the pulling force of the first housing member, the second housing and the rotating shaft on the flexible display screen is reduced.
Therefore, the protruding part and the concave part are connected together in a sliding mode, the second shell can slide relative to the rotating part, and when the first shell and the rotating part rotate around the rotating shaft, pulling force on the flexible display screen during rotation of the second shell is reduced.
One or more of the convex portions 2020 and the concave portions 2040 may be provided, and the convex portions 2020 and the concave portions 2040 correspond to each other one by one.
In other embodiments of the present disclosure, a sliding rail 2021 is disposed on the concave portion 2040, and a sliding groove 2041 adapted to the sliding rail 2021 is disposed on the convex portion 2020. The slide rail 2021 extends into the slide groove 2041, and the slide groove 2041 is disposed on the surface of the slide rail 2021, for example, so as to limit the movement of the slide rail 2021 along the Z-axis direction and prevent the slide rail 2021 from coming out from the slide groove 2041. Note that the Z-axis direction is a direction perpendicular to the surface of the rotation member 204.
When the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 rotate around the rotation shaft, the slide rail 2021 slides along the slide groove 2041.
Therefore, the relative sliding of the convex part and the concave part can be guided by arranging the sliding rail and the sliding groove, and the stability of the structure is improved.
The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the rotating shaft 203. In some embodiments of the present application, the structure of the rotating shaft 203 may include a first rotating shaft 213 and a second rotating shaft 223 coaxially disposed as shown in fig. 5, 7, and 8.

For example, the first rotating shaft 213 and the first housing 201 are both provided with a connecting hole, and the folding assembly further includes: and a fixing member. The fixing member may be inserted into a connection hole between the first rotating shaft 213 and the first housing 201 to fixedly connect the first rotating shaft 213 and the first housing 201. Wherein, the fixing member may be a bolt, a pin, etc., and the fixing member is detachably coupled to the first rotating shaft 213 and the coupling hole of the first housing 201.
Wherein the first rotating shaft 213 and the second rotating shaft 223 rotate in opposite directions. The first rotating shaft 213 rotates the first housing 201 around the axis of the first rotating shaft 213. The second rotating shaft 223 rotates the second housing 202 around the axis of the second rotating shaft 223 through the rotating member 204.
The axes of the first rotating shaft 213 and the second rotating shaft 223 can be used as the axes of the rotating shaft 203, so that the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 can rotate along the axes of the rotating shaft 203 respectively.

As shown in fig. 15, a metal strip 207 is attached below the bending region of the flexible display, wherein, as shown in fig. 16, the metal strip 207 may include: a plurality of spaced metal sheets arranged along the axis direction of the rotating shaft.
The upper surface of the rotating member 204 is provided with a magnet 208, when the foldable display terminal is turned from the closed state to the unfolded state, the bending area of the flexible display screen falls above the magnet 208 of the rotating member 204, and the arching of the bending area of the flexible display screen can be further reduced by utilizing the adsorption force of the magnet 208 to the metal strip of the bending area.
In addition, as shown in fig. 17, 18, 19, and 20, in order to further reduce the arching of the bending region, an elastic member 209 may be further provided between the rotation member 204 and the second housing 202. Wherein the elastic member may be a torsion spring.
An accommodating groove 2022 is formed in the end surface of the protruding portion 2020, which is close to the concave portion 2040, an elastic component 209 is arranged in the accommodating groove 2022, and the elastic component 209 includes: retaining arm 2091.
As shown in fig. 17 and 18, when the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are in the expanded state, the abutting arm 2091 is disposed between an end surface of the concave portion 2040 and a bottom of the receiving groove 2022 in an abutting manner, wherein the end surface of the concave portion 2040 is, for example, a slope. The elastic component 209 is used for providing a force to the rotating element 204 towards the rotating shaft direction.
The rotating member 204 and the second housing 202 have a slight virtual position in the relative movement direction, that is, in the flattened state, the rotating member 204 and the second housing 202 have a slight displacement space in the relative movement direction. In this embodiment, an elastic component 209 is disposed between the rotating component and the second housing 202, as shown in fig. 18, when the whole machine is in a flat state, the elastic component 209 has a component along the relative movement direction, so that the second housing 202 has a pushing force towards the rotating shaft direction relative to the rotating component, and due to the virtual position of the rotating component and the second housing 202, the pushing force of the spring will directly act on the flexible display screen, so that the flexible display screen is in a tensioned state, and the screen arching phenomenon can be effectively improved.
As shown in fig. 19 and 20, when the first and second housings are in the folded state or in the state between the folded state and the unfolded state, the retaining arm 2091 is compressed back into the receiving groove 2022, and the retaining arm 2091 is disposed between the side surface of the recess 2040 and the bottom of the receiving groove 2022.
The end surface of the concave portion 2040 is, for example, an inclined surface inclined to the side, so that when the concave portion and the convex portion move relatively, the holding arm 2091 can be more easily compressed into the accommodating groove, and the holding arm 2091 is prevented from obstructing the relative movement of the concave portion and the convex portion.
At this time, when the whole machine is in a non-flattening state, the elastic force of the elastic component 209 has no component force in the relative movement direction, the flexible display screen is not subjected to tension, and the creep of the material caused by the long-time tension of the whole machine in the non-flattening state is avoided.
Therefore, when the whole machine is in a flattening state, the abutting arm abuts against the end face of the concave part, the elastic part has component along the relative movement direction, so that the second shell has thrust towards the rotating shaft direction relative to the rotating part, and due to the virtual position of the rotating part and the second shell, the thrust of the spring can directly act on the flexible display screen, so that the flexible display screen is in a tensioning state, and the phenomenon of arching of the screen can be effectively improved. When the whole machine is in a non-flattening state, the abutting arm abuts against the side face of the concave part, the elastic force of the elastic part has no component force in the relative movement direction, the flexible display screen cannot be under tension, and the creep of materials caused by the fact that the whole machine is under tension for a long time in the non-flattening state is avoided.
The above description is only an embodiment of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present disclosure should be covered by the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
