In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a side-sliding screen device, taking the side-sliding screen device as a side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 as an example, at least one side surface of the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 forms a display area, the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 has an initial display state (see fig. 1 and 2), and the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 can be triggered to extend to another extended display state (see fig. 3 and 4), and the area of the display area of the initial display state is smaller than the area of the display area in the extended display state. The side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 can be manually triggered to extend to another extended display state, or can be automatically triggered to extend to another extended display state.

Referring to fig. 5, a side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: the display device comprises a first structural member 10, a second structural member 20, a synchronization mechanism 30 and a display screen 40, wherein one end of the second structural member 20 is connected with the first structural member 10 in a sliding mode, and the synchronization mechanism 30 can be located on the second structural member 20.

The display screen 40 may include a first display area 401 and a second display area 402, wherein the first display area 401 may be located on the first structural member 10 and attached to the first structural member 10, the second display area 402 may be wound around the synchronization mechanism 30 along the synchronization mechanism 30, and the second display area 402 is attached to the synchronization mechanism 30. For example, the first display region 401 and the first structural member 10 may be fixed by adhesion, and similarly, the second display region 402 and the driving belt 303 may be fixed by adhesion.

In the embodiment of the present application, a partial region of the synchronization mechanism 30 may be fixedly connected to the first structural member 10, and when the synchronization mechanism 30 slides toward or away from the first structural member 10 along with the second structural member 20, the synchronization mechanism 30 may drive the second display region 402 to retract or extend.

In the embodiment, referring to fig. 7, a side of the driving belt 303 facing the first display region 401 may have a first positioning region 3032, and the driving belt 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the first structural member 10 through the first positioning region 3032. Thus, the first positioning region 3032 of the transmission belt 303 is fixed relative to the first structural member 10, and the remaining region of the transmission belt 303 can move relatively along the direction in which the second structural member 20 is away from the first structural member 10 or along the direction in which the second structural member 20 is close to the first structural member 10, so as to drive the second display region 402 to extend or retract, so as to achieve the extended display state or return the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 to the initial display state.

In the present embodiment, the first display area 401 may completely or partially overlap with a portion of the second display area 402 in a direction perpendicular to the first display area 401 when the side-slipping screen phone 100 is in the initial display state.

Continuing to refer to fig. 7, the sideslip screen phone 100 provided by the present application embodiment may further include: and the buffer 50, wherein the buffer 50 is located between the second display area 402 and the transmission belt 303, one side of the buffer 50 is fixedly connected with the second display area 402, and the other side of the buffer 50 is fixedly connected with the transmission belt 303.

Because the first structural member 10 is connected with the second structural member 20 in a sliding manner and the second structural member 20 can be accommodated in the first structural member 10, when the first structural member 10 is attached to the first display area 401 of the display screen 40, a gap exists between the second structural member 20 and the second display area 402 of the display screen 40, and the buffer member 50 is arranged between the second display area 402 and the transmission belt 303, so that the display area (namely, the second display area 402) of the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 in an extended display state can be supported, the phenomenon that the screen is recessed in the display area during operation of a user is avoided, the purpose of flattening the whole surface of the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 is achieved, and the experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, an end of the buffer 50 near the first display region 401 may have a second positioning region 501, and the second positioning region 501 is fixedly connected to an end of the first structural member 10 near the second structural member 20. Thus, the second positioning region 501 of the buffering element 50 is fixed relative to the first structural element 10, and the remaining region of the buffering element 50 can move relatively along the direction in which the second structural element 20 is far from the first structural element 10 or along the direction in which the second structural element 20 is close to the first structural element 10, so as to drive the second display region 402 to extend or retract, so as to enable the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 to be in the expanded display state or to be restored to the initial display state.

In a possible implementation manner, the buffer 50 may be a rubber pad, and can play a role of buffering and resisting pressure for the second display area 402 while achieving a supporting role for the second display area 402 of the display screen 40 of the side-sliding-screen mobile phone 100. It should be noted that the buffering member 50 may also be made of a material with certain flexibility, such as foam, for example, a silicone material, a thermoplastic polyurethane, a thermoplastic elastomer, or a plastic. And the buffer member 50 may be formed of insulating foam in order to improve the insulating property between the second display region 402 of the display screen 40 and other components.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 7 or fig. 8, the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 may further include: and a first elastic member 60, wherein one end of the first elastic member 60 is connected to the first structural member 10, and the other end of the first elastic member 60 is connected to the second structural member 20. When the side-sliding screen phone 100 is in the initial display state, the first elastic member 60 is in a compressed state, and when the side-sliding screen phone 100 is in the extended display state, the first elastic member 60 is in an extended state, and the first elastic member 60 is used for driving the second structural member 20 to slide away from the first structural member 10.

Thus, by releasing the first elastic element 60, the second structural element 20 slides in a direction away from the first structural element 10, and the sliding can be converted into rotating through the first rotating shaft 301 and the second rotating shaft 302, so that the second display area 402 of the display screen 40 expands outwards; by sliding the second structure 20 in a direction close to the first structure 10, the second display area 402 of the display screen 40 can be retracted, and the first elastic member 60 is compressed to store energy.

With continued reference to fig. 7 or 8, the sideslip screen phone 100 may further include: the first structure 10 has a first through hole (not shown) along a length direction of the guide 70, and the second structure 20 has a second through hole (not shown) along a length direction of the guide 70, wherein one end of the guide 70 extends into the first through hole, the other end of the guide 70 extends into the second through hole, so that the guide 70 is slidably connected to the first structure 10 and the second structure 20, respectively, and the first elastic member 60 is sleeved outside the guide 70. The guide member 70 can guide the extension or compression of the elastic member 60, and prevent the elastic member 60 from being damaged due to inclination during the extension or compression process, thereby improving the service life of the elastic member 60 to a certain extent.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 may further include: the fastening mechanism 80, the fastening mechanism 80 can be disposed on the first structural member 10, and the second structural member 20 can have a position-limiting portion (not shown). When the side-sliding screen phone 100 is in the initial display state, at least a portion of the snapping mechanism 80 can extend into the limiting portion to confine the second structural member 20 within the first structural member 10.

In this way, when the second structural member 20 is received in the first structural member 10, that is, the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 is in the initial display state, at least a part of the fastening mechanism 80 on the first structural member 10 extends into the limiting part on the second structural member 20, so that the first structural member 10 and the second structural member 20 can be locked with each other, thereby ensuring that the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 can be maintained in the initial display state. When the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 needs to be triggered to be in the extended display state, the buckling mechanism 80 on the first structural member 10 and the limiting part on the second structural member 20 are separated from each other, and the second structural member 20 can move towards the direction away from the first structural member 10, so that the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 can be in the extended display state.

It should be noted that the fastening mechanism 80 may be a mechanical self-locking assembly, an electric self-locking assembly, or a slide rail steady-state self-locking assembly. Illustratively, the motorized self-locking assembly may be an existing electromagnetic lock. The mechanical self-locking assembly and the electric self-locking assembly may adopt locking structures well known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiment is not limited herein.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the snapping mechanism 80 may comprise: a second elastic element 801 and a fastener 802 connected to the second elastic element 801, wherein an end of the second elastic element 801 away from the fastener 802 is fixed on the first structural member 10, and the fastener 802 is matched with the position-limiting portion.

In a possible implementation manner, the fastening member 802 may be inserted and spliced with the limiting portion, the fastening member 802 may have a first concave portion and a first convex portion arranged at an interval, the limiting portion may have a second concave portion and a second convex portion arranged at an interval, the second convex portion is inserted into the first concave portion, and the first convex portion is inserted into the second concave portion, so as to realize the stable connection between the fastening member 802 and the limiting portion.

Wherein the first concave portion may be matched with the second convex portion, and the first convex portion may be matched with the second concave portion. For example, the first concave portion and the second convex portion may be rectangular, and the first convex portion and the second concave portion may also be rectangular. Alternatively, the first concave portion and the second convex portion may be semicircular, triangular, or the like, and the first convex portion and the second concave portion may be semicircular, triangular, or the like. The first concave portions and the first convex portions may be arranged at regular intervals, and correspondingly, the second concave portions and the second convex portions may also be arranged at regular intervals.

It is understood that the side-sliding screen phone 100 may further include components such as a main circuit board, a processor, a memory, and a camera assembly, which can implement the functions of the phone, and the structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present application does not form a specific limitation on the side-sliding screen phone 100. Illustratively, the main circuit board, the processor, the memory, the camera assembly, and the like may be fixed to the first structural member 10 or the second structural member 20, respectively.

In addition, in order to form electrical connection between components located on different structural members, an electrical connection line may be further disposed in the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100, two ends of the electrical connection line are respectively connected to electrical connection points of two adjacent different structural members, so as to be connected with different components such as a main circuit board, a processor, a camera assembly or an antenna on each structural member and transmit electrical signals, and the electrical connection line itself is made of a flexible material and can be correspondingly extended or deformed along with the change of the relative position of the structural members. Thus, when the mobile phone 100 with the side-sliding screen is in different states, such as an initial display state or an extended display state, the electrical connection line can still maintain the electrical connection between two adjacent structural members by means of the deformation of the electrical connection line.

In particular, the electrical connection lines may have a variety of different configurations and forms. The main circuit board of the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 may be located in one of the structural members, and the main circuit board transmits electrical signals with other components; in order to realize the electrical connection between the main circuit board and the components located in other structural members, the electrical connection lines may include a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC). The flexible circuit board may include a plurality of leads to enable transmission of a plurality of different electrical signals. In addition, the antenna and other components of the side-sliding screen mobile phone 100 can be electrically connected to the main circuit board by the coaxial cable. In an alternative embodiment, therefore, the electrical connection line may also include a single, separately provided cable, which may be used to transmit signals between two separate components. In this embodiment, a single cable may be used to transmit different signals such as coaxial signals.

In one possible implementation, the circuit board, the processor, the memory, the camera assembly, etc. may all be fixed to the first structural member 10, so that damage, breakage, or other functional effects to the electrical connection lines connecting the circuit board, the processor, the memory, the camera assembly, etc. to the display screen 40 during movement of the second structural member 20 can be avoided as compared to when the circuit board, the processor, the memory, or the camera assembly, etc. is fixed to the second structural member 20.
