Preferably, the first side support 273 and the second side support 275 face each other in contact, i.e., the interval between the first side support 273 and the second side support 275 is small. When the first side supporting member 273 and the second side supporting palm 275 are in the fully folded state, the first adjusting shaft 2366 and the second adjusting shaft 2367 are positioned at the second positioning section 2733b of the first side supporting member 273 and the fourth positioning section 2753b of the second side supporting member 275, respectively; the first propping piece 240 is propped against the first propping top surface 2421 and the second limiting part 2536b of the first rotating piece 253 under the pushing of the first elastic piece 260, the second propping piece 245 is propped against the second limiting part 2556b of the second rotating piece 255 under the pushing of the second elastic piece 265, the first rotating piece 253 and the second rotating piece 255 are limited relative to the base 23, so that the linkage piece 250 is limited to slide relative to the base 23, the first side supporting piece 273 and the second side supporting piece 275 are kept in a stable and completely folded state, and the front surface of the first side supporting piece 273, the front surface of the second side supporting piece 275 and the front surface of the linkage piece 250 enclose a water drop-shaped space, so that the bendable region 31 of the flexible screen 30 can be conveniently accommodated. When the first propping member 240 is pushed by the first elastic member 260 to make the first propping surface 2421 prop against the first damping portion 2536c and the second propping member 245 is pushed by the second elastic member 265 to make the second propping surface 2471 prop against the second damping portion 2556c, the first propping member 240 and the second propping member 245 prop against the first damping portion 2536c and the second damping portion 2556c respectively when the first side supporting member 273 and the second side supporting member 275 are in the intermediate state; so that the first side support 273 and the second side support 275 can be maintained in any folded state other than the fully flattened state and the fully folded state, so that the electronic device 100 assumes any hovering state.
It should be noted that: the completely flattened state means that the front surface of the first connecting portion 2533 and the front surface of the second connecting portion 2553 are coplanar, that is, an included angle between the front surface of the first side supporting member 273 and the front surface of the second side supporting member 275 is 180 degrees; the fully folded state means that the front surface of the first connecting portion 2533 and the front surface of the second connecting portion 2553 are parallel to each other, that is, an included angle between the front surface of the first connecting portion 2533 and the front surface of the second connecting portion 2553 is 0 degrees, and the front surface of the first side supporting member 273 and the front surface of the second side supporting member 275 enclose a water droplet-shaped space; the intermediate state refers to an arbitrary folded state in which the front surface of the first side support 273 and the front surface of the second side support 275 enclose a space other than the coplanar and drop-shaped space, that is, the folded state of the electronic device 100 in which the angle between the front surfaces of the two frames 21 is in a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and the angle between the front surfaces of the first and second connection portions 2533 and 2553 is more than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

The guide rail 2515 of the linkage 250 slides in the corresponding guide chute 234, the guide slide portion 2306 of the base 23 slides in the corresponding chute 2516, and the first abutment surface 2421 of the first abutment 240 is disengaged from the first stop portion 2536a and slides relative to the first damping portion 2536c of the first rotation plate 2536 until the first abutment surface 2421 abuts the second stop portion 2536b. Meanwhile, the sliding of the linkage member 250 can drive the second transmission portion 2551 in the second spiral groove 2505 to rotate relative to the base 23, and the two second spiral surfaces 2508 respectively slidably abut against the two second pushing surfaces 2552, so that the second rotating plate 2556 of the second transmission member 255 rotates along the second limiting groove 238 of the base 23, and the second rotating plate 2556 can only rotate around the second rotation axis L2 but cannot slide along the direction of the second rotation axis L2, so that the second rotating member 255 rotates along with the second transmission portion 2551 relative to the base 23; therefore, the first rotating member 255 rotates with the first transmission portion 2531 relative to the base 23, and the second rotating member 255 moves toward each other as the second transmission portion 2551 rotates relative to the base 23. Meanwhile, in the process that the first rotating member 253 rotates relative to the first arc plate 2503 and the second rotating member 255 rotates relative to the second arc plate 2506, the first rotating member 253 and the first side supporting member 273 rotate relative to each other through the cooperation of the first arc rail 2731 and the first arc groove 2535, and the second rotating member 255 and the second side supporting member 275 rotate relative to each other through the cooperation of the second arc rail 2751 and the second arc groove 2555, so that the first adjusting arm 2734 of the first side supporting member 273 is rotationally and slidingly connected with the first adjusting shaft 2366, and the second adjusting arm 2754 of the second side supporting member 275 is rotationally and slidingly connected with the second adjusting shaft 2367.

In other bending modes of the rotating shaft assembly 22, the second moving member 255 can be rotated about the second circular arc plate 2506 toward the first rotating member 253 relative to the base 23, and the second rotating plate 2556 of the second moving member 255 can be rotated about the second circular arc plate 2506, such that the second moving member 255 can rotate about the second rotational axis L2 and cannot move along the second rotational axis L2; the second transmission portion 2551 slides in the second spiral groove 2505, and the two second pushing surfaces 2552 slidably push against the two second spiral surfaces 2508, respectively, so that the linkage 250 slides along the center line O toward an end far from the connection block 236. The guide rail 2515 of the linkage 250 slides in the corresponding guide slot 234, the guide slide portion 2306 of the base 23 slides in the corresponding guide slot 2516, and the second abutment surface 2471 of the second abutment 245 is disengaged from the limit of the third limit portion 2556a and slides relative to the second damping portion 2556c of the second rotation plate 2556 until the second abutment surface 2471 abuts against the fourth limit portion 2556b. Meanwhile, the sliding of the linkage member 250 can drive the first transmission portion 2531 in the second spiral groove 2504 to rotate relative to the base 23, and the two first spiral surfaces 2507 respectively slidably abut against the two first pushing surfaces 2532, so that the first rotating plate 2536 of the second transmission member 253 rotates along the first limiting groove 237 of the base 23, and the first rotating plate 2536 can only rotate about the first rotation axis L1 and cannot slide along the direction of the first rotation axis L1, so that the first rotating member 253 rotates along with the first transmission portion 2531 relative to the base 23; therefore, the first rotating member 255 rotates with the first transmission portion 2531 relative to the base 23, and the second rotating member 255 moves toward each other as the second transmission portion 2551 rotates relative to the base 23. Meanwhile, in the process that the second rotating member 255 rotates relative to the second circular arc plate 2506 and the first rotating member 253 rotates relative to the first circular arc plate 2503, the first rotating member 253 and the first side supporting member 273 rotate relative to each other through the cooperation of the first circular arc rail 2731 and the first circular arc groove 2535, and the second rotating member 255 and the second side supporting member 275 rotate relative to each other through the cooperation of the second circular arc rail 2751 and the second circular arc groove 2555, so that the first adjusting arm 2734 of the first side supporting member 273 is rotationally and slidingly connected with the first adjusting shaft 2366, and the second adjusting arm 2754 of the second side supporting member 275 is rotationally and slidingly connected with the second adjusting shaft 2367.

In other bending modes, the first rotating member 253 and the second rotating member 255 can be simultaneously rotated around the first arc plate 2503 and the second arc plate 2506 respectively in opposite directions relative to the base 23, the first adjusting shaft 2366 rotates and slides in the first adjusting groove 2733, and the second adjusting shaft 2367 rotates and slides in the second adjusting groove 2753, so that the first supporting member 273 and the second supporting member 275 are close to each other until the first adjusting shaft 2366 is limited to the second positioning section 2733b and the second adjusting shaft 2367 is limited to the fourth positioning section 2753b; meanwhile, the first pushing surface 2532 of the first transmission portion 2531 and the second pushing surface 2552 of the second transmission portion 2551 synchronously push the first spiral surface 2507 and the second spiral surface 2508 respectively, so that the linkage member 250 slides relative to the base 23 along the direction of the center line O until the first pushing surface 2421 is positioned on the second limiting portion 2536b and the second pushing surface 2471 is positioned on the fourth limiting portion 2556b, so as to prevent the first pushing member 240 and the second pushing member 245 from rotating, and the front surface of the first side supporting member 273 and the front surface of the second side supporting member 275 enclose a cross section into a water drop shape.
During the bending process of the first side supporting member 273 and the second side supporting member 275 relative to the base 23, the first circular arc rail 2731 on the first side supporting member 273 and the second circular arc rail 2751 on the second side supporting member 275 simultaneously rotate in the first circular arc groove 2535 of the first rotating member 253 and the second circular arc groove 2555 of the second rotating member 255, respectively, and simultaneously, the first adjusting shaft 2366 and the second adjusting shaft 2367 simultaneously rotate and slide in the first adjusting groove 2733 and the second adjusting groove 2753, respectively. Specifically, the first adjustment shaft 2366 is displaced from the first positioning segment 2733a to the second positioning segment 2733b, and the second adjustment shaft 2367 is displaced from the third positioning segment 2753a to the fourth positioning segment 2753b; simultaneously, the first transmission portion 2531 and the second transmission portion 2551 rotate synchronously in the first spiral groove 2504 and the second spiral groove 2505 respectively, the first pushing surface 2532 and the second pushing surface 2552 slidably push the first spiral surface 2507 and the second spiral surface 2508 respectively, so that the linkage 250 gradually moves away from the connecting block 236 along the direction of the center line O, the first pushing surface 2421 slides relative to the first damping portion 2536c out of the limit with the first limit portion 2536a until the first pushing surface 2421 pushes against the second limit portion 2536b, and the second pushing surface 2471 slides relative to the second damping portion 2556c out of the limit with the third limit portion 2556a until the second pushing surface 2471 pushes against the fourth limit portion 2556b. The first rotating member 253 rotates around the first connecting portion 2501 to drive the linkage member 250 to slide relative to the base 23, and the linkage member 250 synchronously drives the second rotating member 255 to rotate around the second connecting portion 2502, so that synchronous folding of the first rotating member 253 and the second rotating member 255 is realized; or the second rotating member 255 rotates around the second connecting portion 2502 to drive the linkage member 250 to slide relative to the base 23, and the linkage member 250 synchronously drives the first rotating member 253 to rotate around the first connecting portion 2501, so that synchronous folding of the first rotating member 253 and the second rotating member 255 is realized.

Specifically, if a bending force is applied to the frame 21 connected to the first rotating member 253, the frame 21 drives the first rotating member 253 to rotate around the first connecting portion 2501 to a side close to the flexible screen 30 relative to the base 23, that is, the first rotating plate 2536 rotates relative to the first circular arc plate 2503, the first transmitting portion 2531 rotates in the first spiral groove 2504 to push the linkage member 250 to slide along the center line O away from the connecting block 236, and at the same time, the sliding of the linkage member 250 drives the second transmitting portion 2551 in the second spiral groove 2505 to synchronously rotate around the second connecting portion 2502 relative to the base 23, that is, the second rotating plate 2556 rotates around the second circular arc plate 2506, so that the second rotating member 255 rotates to a side close to the flexible screen 30, thereby realizing that the first rotating member 253 and the second rotating member 255 synchronously rotate relative to the base 23 to approach each other.
