Claims

1. An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the hinge assembly comprises a hinge body and a hinge synchronization swing arm, the hinge synchronization swing arm is connected with the hinge body, and rotation of the hinge body drives the hinge synchronization swing arm to linearly move in the body;

the electronic equipment further comprises a transmission assembly, wherein the transmission assembly is respectively connected with the hinge synchronous swing arm and the first reflecting mirror, and the transmission assembly is used for transmitting the linear motion of the hinge synchronous swing arm to the first reflecting mirror so as to drive the first reflecting mirror to switch between the first position and the second position.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the transmission assembly comprises a rack and a gear, the rack being connected to the hinge synchronization swing arm, the gear being connected to the first mirror, the gear being meshed with the rack;

under the condition that the hinge synchronizes the swing arm to linearly move, the rack can be driven to linearly move, and the gear and the first reflecting mirror can be driven to rotate together by the linear movement of the rack, so that the first reflecting mirror is switched between the first position and the second position.

4. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the transmission assembly comprises a link, one end of the link is connected to the first mirror, and the other end of the link is rotatably connected to the hinge synchronization swing arm;

under the condition that the hinge synchronizes the swing arm to move linearly, the connecting rod can be driven to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod can drive the first reflecting mirror to rotate, so that the first reflecting mirror is switched between the first position and the second position.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a first mirror support is further disposed within the body, the first mirror support being secured within the body; wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,

the first reflector is rotatably connected to the first reflector bracket.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a second mirror is further disposed within the body, the second mirror being secured within the body and positioned between the camera assembly and the first mirror, the second mirror being configured to reflect light reflected from the first mirror onto the camera assembly.

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the camera assembly comprises: a lens and an image sensor which are arranged at intervals, wherein,

the first reflecting mirror is movably connected to one side of the lens far away from the image sensor;

the second reflecting mirror is fixed on one side of the lens, which is close to the image sensor.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least two bodies comprise: the first body, the second body and the third body are sequentially arranged; wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,

at least one of the first body, the second body and the third body is provided with the camera assembly and the first reflecting mirror, and the first reflecting mirror is connected with the adjacent hinge assembly.

9. The electronic device of any one of claims 1-8, wherein the electronic device further comprises:

a flexible screen connected to a first side of all of the bodies;

and at least one first screen, one first screen is connected to a second side of one body.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the flexible screen is provided with a first light hole at a position corresponding to the first mirror, and wherein the first screen is provided with a second light hole at a position corresponding to the first mirror.
