The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

The terminology used in the following embodiments is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are intended to include, for example, "one or more" such forms of expression, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. It should also be understood that in the various embodiments herein below, "at least one", "one or more" means one, two or more than two. The term "and/or" is used to describe an association relationship of associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships; for example, a and/or B may represent: a alone, a and B together, and B alone, wherein A, B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship.

Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and the like in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments" unless expressly specified otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

For clarity and conciseness in the description of the following embodiments, a brief description of the related art will be given first:

in order to be able to meet both the user's demand for large-sized screens and the demand for portability of electronic devices, electronic devices having folding screens are gradually coming into the field of view of the user. The electronic device comprises a housing and a flexible screen attached to the housing, wherein the housing comprises a first housing and a second housing which are connected through a rotating shaft assembly. The user can adjust the pivot subassembly according to self user demand, along with the regulation to the pivot subassembly, changes the angle between first shell and the second shell, the folding of corresponding realization folding screen and expansion.

In the existing rotating shaft assembly, two sliding blocks are connected with a first shell, and the two sliding blocks form a double-sliding block structure and can be used for moving the first shell; in addition, the other two sliding blocks of the rotating shaft assembly are connected with the second housing and form a double-sliding block structure for moving the second housing. The two double-sliding-block structures are matched with each other to realize folding and unfolding of the folding screen.

However, in the double-slider structure, the contact area between the two sliders is large, and in order to ensure the smoothness of the folding screen in the folding or unfolding process, the contact surfaces of the sliders are required to be matched with each other with high precision, so that a high manufacturing process is required, the processing cost is high, and the yield of the folding screen is low.

Moreover, because the contact surface of the two sliding blocks in the double-sliding block structure is larger, abrasion can occur in the using process. With the extension of the service time of the electronic equipment, the abrasion is increased increasingly, so that the folding screen is easy to be blocked in the folding or unfolding process in the later use process of the electronic equipment, and the service life of the electronic equipment is reduced.

The other type of rotating shaft component is a structure that a sliding block is combined with a sliding groove, the sliding block is embedded into the sliding groove, and the rotating shaft component drives the angle between the first shell and the second shell to change through the sliding of the sliding block in the sliding groove, so that the folding or unfolding of the folding screen is realized.

Compared with the structure with double sliding blocks, the abrasion of the structure with the sliding grooves is reduced, but in order to ensure the smoothness of the folding screen in the folding or unfolding process, the blocking in the folding or unfolding process is avoided, the contact surface of the sliding blocks and the sliding grooves is required to be finished by a higher manufacturing process, and the requirement on the processing process is higher, so that the processing cost of the structure is higher, and the yield of the corresponding folding screen is lower.

That is, the current hinge assemblies for folding or unfolding the folding screen require a high processing process and are high in cost.

In order to solve the problem of high processing cost of electronic equipment in the prior art, the application provides electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment comprises a rotating shaft assembly.
