Further, after the sliding support structure 4 is moved to the first set position, the lifting support structure 5 needs to be driven to move toward the winding portion 22 to support the winding portion 22. Therefore, as shown in fig. 31 to 33, the driving assembly 6 may further include a second transmission gear 69 connected to an end of the threaded rod 64, the elevation supporting structure 5 may include a second elevation supporting plate 56, a second rack 510, a second rotating shaft 57, a second gear 59, and a second cam 58, the second elevation supporting plate 56 may be released from the winding part 22 to support the winding part 22 when the elevation supporting structure 5 is in the supporting state, the second cam 58 and the second gear 59 may be connected to the second rotating shaft 57, and the second cam 58, the second gear 59, and the second rotating shaft 57 may be disposed at one side of the flexible display panel 2 of the second elevation supporting plate 56; the second rack 510 may include a first gear tooth area 511 and a second gear tooth area 512, and the first gear tooth area 511 is engaged with the second transmission gear 69, and as shown in fig. 28, when the second engagement portion 652 is engaged with the screw guide area 641 of the screw rod 64, the push rod bracket 65 may be driven to move downward, at which time the second gear tooth area 512 is separated from the second gear 59, the second gear 59 is not rotated, the second cam 58 does not push the second elevation support plate 56, and the second gear tooth area 512 may move toward the second gear 59 due to the rightward movement of the second rack 510, until the second engagement portion 652 moves to an end where the annular guide area 642 communicates with the screw guide area 641 along the screw guide area 641, the sliding support structure 4 slides to a first set position, the push rod bracket 65 stops moving, the sliding support plate 41 stops sliding, the winding portion 22 is unwound, and at this time, the second gear tooth area 512 is moved to be engaged with the second gear 59, so that, as the threaded rod 64 continues to rotate, the second fitting portion 652 can move within the annular guide area 642 from the connection of the threaded guide area 641 and the annular guide area 642, the second rack 510 is engaged with the second gear 59 and can drive the second gear 59 to rotate, the second rotating shaft 57 and the second cam 58 rotate synchronously, until the second fitting portion 652 moves to the first position within the annular guide area 642, and the second elevation support plate 56 moves toward the winding portion 22 until contacting with the winding portion 22 to support the winding portion 22, that is, switching from the idle state to the support state.

The plurality of second gear tooth regions 512 may be uniformly disposed on the rack, so that the plurality of second rotation shafts 57 may be uniformly disposed on a side of the second elevation supporting plate 56 away from the flexible display panel 2.

In this embodiment, when the second cam 58 is rotated to release the support of the second elevation support plate 56, other electronic components inside the electronic apparatus 100 may be affected due to the gravity of the second elevation support plate 56.
