Specifically, the angle sensor 12 may be a hall sensor, and detects a change in a magnetic field between the housing 10 and the rotating shaft 20 to obtain a rotation angle of the rotating shaft 20, and further obtain a relative rotation speed of the two.
The rotating shaft 20 is provided with a coil 21, the coil 21 is positioned in a magnetic field formed by the magnet 11, and when the coil 21 rotates along with the rotating shaft 20, the coil 21 cuts the magnetic induction line, so that when the control unit applies current to the coil 21, the coil 21 is acted by ampere force, and the rotating shaft 20 is acted by torque. The coil 21 forms a closed loop with a power supply module in the control unit, and when the control unit applies a voltage to the coil 21, a current is formed in the coil 21.

As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, the housing 10 and the shaft 20 may be provided in 2, and the 2 housings 10 are fixed side by side to form a whole, so that the two shafts 20 are parallel to each other, and in this structure, the first supporting arm 13 and the second supporting arm 22 are respectively fixed to the 2 shafts 20. The hinge with the structure is suitable for large-size folding screen products, can effectively bear uniform distributed load, and ensures the folding mechanical characteristics of medium and large-size products and the use interactivity of end users.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the present invention also provides a folding apparatus including the above-described hinge configured to fold or unfold the folding apparatus, and a flexible screen 30 provided on a surface of the folding apparatus, the flexible screen 30 being folded or unfolded as the folding apparatus is folded or unfolded. Specifically, the first support arm 13 and the second support arm 22 on the hinge are respectively fixedly connected with the middle frame of the flexible screen 30, and the flexible screen 30 is unfolded or folded when the rotating shaft 20 rotates relative to the housing 10. The asymmetric first supporting arm 13 and the second supporting arm 22 on the outer side of the rotating shaft are designed to uniformly disperse the bending force to the whole screen body, so that more obvious creases appear on the appearance of the screen body after the screen body is bent for a long time.
The pivot 20 can rotate to the first position relatively shell 10 to drive flexible screen 30 and expand to 180 degrees, combine fig. 2, when pivot 20 was located the first position, flexible screen 30 was in the state of expanding, and folding device can obtain the biggest display area, in order to satisfy the demand that the user shows by a large scale.
The rotating shaft 20 rotates to the second position relative to the housing 10 to drive the flexible screen 30 to fold, that is, the two light emitting surfaces of the two parts of the flexible screen are approximately attached, referring to fig. 3, when the rotating shaft 20 is located at the second position, the flexible screen 30 is in a folded state, and the folding device can obtain the minimum overall dimension and is convenient to carry.
In the present embodiment, the first position and the second position can be regarded as two extreme positions of the rotation shaft 20 relative to the housing 10, when the rotation shaft 20 is at the first position, the flexible screen 30 is in a flat state, and under normal conditions, the rotation shaft 20 can not rotate any more to reversely fold the flexible screen 30. When the rotating shaft 20 is at the second position, the flexible screen 30 is in a folded state, and under normal conditions, the rotating shaft 20 cannot rotate any more to enable the flexible screen to be attached excessively.
It is understood that in the embodiments later in the present application, the first position, the second position, and the unfolded state and the folded state all refer to the relative positions of the rotating shaft 20 and the housing 10.
As shown in fig. 2, the folding device is in the unfolded state, and thus the flexible screen 30 is also in the unfolded state, and the rotating shaft 20 is in the first position, and as shown in fig. 3, the folding device is in the folded state, and thus the flexible screen 30 is also in the folded state, and the rotating shaft 20 is in the second position. The control unit applies current to the coil 21 according to signals collected by the angle sensor 12, the coil 21 is acted by ampere force in a magnetic field, and then the rotating shaft 20 is acted by torque to generate power for driving the rotating shaft 20 to rotate or damping force for preventing the rotating shaft 20 from rotating.
When the state of the folding device is changed, namely the folding device is changed from the unfolding state to the folding state, or the folding device is changed from the folding state to the unfolding state, a user firstly presses a key, the control unit responds to the triggering of the key and judges the current position of the rotating shaft 20 according to the signal of the angle sensor 12, namely after the control unit judges the current state of the folding device, voltage is applied to the coil 21, and then the rotating shaft 20 is driven to rotate to drive the folding state to change the state. For example, in the unfolded state shown in fig. 2, the control unit controls the rotating shaft 20 to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise, so that the folding device is changed into the folded state, the process is an automatic mode, the control unit can precisely regulate and control the current value so as to control the rotating speed and the torque of the rotating shaft 20, the folding device has the characteristics of stable rotation speed and balanced force, the uncontrollable performance of manual folding and unfolding of the folded product can be effectively improved in the working mode, and meanwhile, the service life of devices in the bending area can be greatly prolonged by automatically controlling the folding and unfolding.
When the user does not press a key but manually unfolds or folds the folding device of the present invention, the force sensor 23 first collects a torque signal, the control unit judges that the state of the folding device is manually changed according to the signal collected by the force sensor 23, and applies a current to the coil 21 according to the signal collected by the angle sensor 12, so that the coil 21 generates a damping force that hinders the rotation of the rotating shaft 20 with respect to the housing 10, and the damping force hinders the folding or unfolding of the folding device.
For example, in the unfolded state shown in fig. 2, when the user manually folds the folding device of the present invention, the force sensor 23 sends the collected signal to the control unit, the control unit determines that the folding device is in the manual mode according to the signal, and when the control unit determines that the folding device is in the unfolded state according to the signal collected by the angle sensor 12, the control unit applies a current to the coil 21 so that the coil 21 generates a damping force for preventing the rotation of the rotating shaft 20, that is, a damping force for preventing the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating shaft 20.
Further, the control unit obtains the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 20 according to the signal collected by the angle sensor 12, and judges the relationship between the rotation speed and a preset threshold value:
if the rotating speed is less than or equal to the preset threshold, applying a constant current of the preset threshold to the coil 21, so that the coil 21 generates a preset damping force for resisting the rotation of the rotating shaft 20;
if the rotation speed is greater than the preset threshold value, a current is applied to the coil 21, so that the coil 21 generates a damping force which hinders the rotation of the rotating shaft 20 and is positively correlated with the rotation speed. That is, in the manual mode, if the folding device is folded or unfolded more quickly, the coil 21 generates a larger damping force, and the uncontrollable manual folding of the folded product can be effectively improved in the working mode.
The force sensor 23 is used for acquiring external force applied by a user when the hinge works in a manual mode, the control unit calculates values acquired from the sensor by adopting a data fusion algorithm to obtain current values for compensating the non-uniform external force and applies the current values to the coil 21, so that the moment and the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 20 are dynamically adjusted in the manual mode, the defects of unbalanced force and non-uniform speed of different users at terminals and even the same user are compensated, the folding device can be unfolded or folded at a constant speed, and the bending service life of a folded product can be greatly prolonged.
The shell 10 in this embodiment is substantially cylindrical, and the radius of the shell is equal to or slightly larger than the bending radius of the flexible screen 30, which is beneficial to supporting the bending area of the screen body and preventing the screen body from forming a recess, thereby solving the problem that the light rays generate different reflections at the edge of the bending area and the middle recess area to cause the indentation of the bending area visible to human eyes.
The invention also provides a control method of the folding device, which comprises the following steps:
the control unit applies current to the coil 21 according to the signal collected by the angle sensor 12, so that the coil 21 is acted by ampere force in the magnetic field, and the rotating shaft 20 is acted by torque to generate power for driving the rotating shaft 20 to rotate or damping force for preventing the rotating shaft 20 from rotating.
Further, applying, with the control unit, a current to the coil 21 according to the signal acquired by the angle sensor 12 comprises: the control unit applies current to the coil 21 according to an external control signal and a signal acquired by the angle sensor 12, so that the coil 21 generates power for driving the rotating shaft 20 to rotate relative to the shell 10, and the folding device is driven to fold or unfold by driving the rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The external control signal may be a trigger signal generated by a user pressing a key, and the like, and the control unit determines that the folding device is in an automatic mode according to the signal, determines the current state of the folding device through the angle sensor 12, and drives the rotating shaft 20 to rotate, so as to drive the folding device to fold or unfold. Under this mode, the control unit can accurate regulation and control current value and then control the rotational speed and the moment of torsion of pivot 20, has the characteristics that the rotation is at the uniform velocity stable, strength is balanced, can effectively improve the manual folding uncontrollable nature that opens and shuts of folding product under this mode of operation, and automatically controlled automatic opening and shutting can promote the regional device life of buckling to a very big extent simultaneously.
Further, the control unit responds to the signal collected by the force sensor 23 and applies a current to the coil 21 according to the signal collected by the angle sensor 12, so that the coil 21 generates a damping force that resists the rotation of the rotating shaft 20 relative to the housing 10, and the damping force resists the folding or unfolding of the folding device.
