Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present invention and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

The features of the terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and in the claims of this application may be used for descriptive or implicit inclusion of one or more of the features.

In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless explicitly specified and limited otherwise, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, and may be either fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected, for example; can be mechanically or electrically connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art depending on the specific circumstances.

Referring to fig. 1 to 7, an embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device. The disclosed electronic device may include a first housing 100, a second housing 200, a first magnetic member 300, and a second magnetic member 400.

The first and second cases 100 and 200 are basic components of the electronic device, and can provide a mounting basis for other components of the electronic device (e.g., the display screen 900, the first magnetic member 300, the second magnetic member 400), and are also main components for implementing state transition of the electronic device. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are rotatably connected to switch the electronic device between the unfolded state and the folded state. Specifically, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may be rotatably connected by a hinge mechanism.

The electronic device may further include a display screen 900, and the display screen 900 may be a flexible screen so as to be capable of deforming following relative rotation between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, thereby achieving folding and unfolding. Of course, the electronic device may be other foldable electronic devices, and is not limited to the electronic device configured with the flexible screen.

The first magnetic member 300 is disposed on the first housing 100, and is capable of following the rotation of the first housing 100 relative to the second housing 200. Specifically, the first magnetic member 300 may be fixed to the first housing 100 by means of adhesion, clamping, connection of a connecting member, or the like.

The second magnetic member 400 is disposed on the second housing 200. Specifically, the second magnetic member 400 is movably disposed on the second housing 200, so that the second magnetic member 400 can be switched between the first state and the second state. Specifically, the second magnetic member 400 is movably disposed on the second housing 200, or may be rotatably disposed on the second housing 200, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention. In a specific operation, the second magnetic member 400 moves relative to the second housing 200, so that the second magnetic member 400 is switched from the first state to the second state or vice versa.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the second magnetic member 400 is movable relative to the second housing 200, so as to change its state, and substantially change the magnetic matching relationship between the second magnetic member 400 and the first magnetic member 300. That is, the magnetic engagement relationship between the second magnetic member 400 and the first magnetic member 300 in the first state is different from the magnetic engagement relationship between the second magnetic member 400 and the first magnetic member 300 in the second state.

In the first state of the second magnetic member 400, the second magnetic member 400 magnetically engages with the first magnetic member 300 to place the electronic device in the folded state. Specifically, after the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200 and is stacked together, the second magnetic member 400 in the first state magnetically attracts the first magnetic member 300, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be better folded, and further the electronic device is prevented from being unfolded by mistake.

In the second state of the second magnetic member 400, the second magnetic member 400 and the first magnetic member 300 repel each other to release the connection between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. In this case, the magnetic connection between the second magnetic member 400 and the first magnetic member 300 is not only released, but also the closing force after folding between the first and second housings 100 and 200 can be reduced to some extent, so that it becomes easier when the electronic apparatus in the folded state is unfolded again.

The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the invention improves the structure of the electronic device in the related art, so that the second magnetic member 400 can move relative to the second housing 200, thereby being capable of switching between the first state and the second state. The second magnetic member 400 can be magnetically engaged with the first magnetic member 300 in the first state, so that the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 can be connected when the electronic device is in the folded state, and the electronic device can be more stably maintained in the folded state to avoid the electronic device from being unfolded by mistake. When the electronic device needs to be unfolded, the second magnetic member 400 moves relative to the second housing 200 to switch to the second state. The second magnetic member 400 in the second state can magnetically repel the first magnetic member 300, thereby releasing the connection between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, and thus the electronic device in the folded state can be opened more easily when the user wants to open. Therefore, the electronic equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the invention can be folded better in a folding state and can be unfolded more easily when the electronic equipment is required to be unfolded, so that the electronic equipment is convenient for a user to use.

It should be added that, in the second state of the second magnetic member 400, the first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400 repel each other, but the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may still be folded, so that the electronic device is in a folded state. In the second state of the second magnetic member 400, the first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400 repel each other, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 rotate relatively to be unfolded, and the electronic device is in the unfolded state. It is further added that the electronic device is unfolded through a small angle, e.g. 5 °, and can also be considered in unfolded state. In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may be considered to be in the unfolded state when there is other included angle between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 except for the included angle between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 in the folded state.

The second magnetic member 400 may be disposed outside the second housing 200, or may be at least partially disposed inside the second housing 200, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention. In order to fully utilize the space of the second housing 200, in an alternative, the second housing 200 may have a mounting groove 210, and the second magnetic member 400 may be movably disposed in the mounting groove 210 to enable switching between the first state and the second state by moving the second magnetic member 400. In this case, the second housing 200 exploits a new space in its own structure to accommodate the second magnetic member 400, thereby fully utilizing the space of the second housing 200 itself, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the electronic device.

As described above, the second magnetic member 400 may be moved or rotated with respect to the second housing 200, based on which, in a further embodiment, the second magnetic member 400 may be rotatably disposed within the mounting groove 210, thereby enabling switching between the first state and the second state by rotation. This way, compared to the movement of the second magnetic member 400 within the mounting groove 210, the design of a larger mounting groove 210 can be avoided, and the occupation of a larger space within the second housing 200 can be avoided, which is also advantageous for the miniaturized design of the electronic device. Specifically, the mounting groove 210 may be provided with a supporting curved surface, and the second magnetic member 400 may form a revolute pair with the supporting curved surface, thereby enabling rotation within the mounting groove 210.

The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include an electric driving mechanism, which may be disposed on the second housing 200, and may be connected to the second magnetic member 400, where the electric driving mechanism drives the second magnetic member 400 to move (e.g., rotate, move, etc.) relative to the second housing 200, so as to implement switching between the first state and the second state of the second magnetic member 400. Thereby can realize the automatic drive to second magnetic part 400 through addding electric drive mechanism, and then be favorable to promoting electronic equipment's intelligent design, also can more make things convenient for user's use. Specifically, the electric driving mechanism may include a driving motor, and may further include a transmission mechanism connecting the driving motor with the second magnetic member 400, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the specific structure of the electric driving mechanism.

In view of energy consumption and simplified structure of the electronic device, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the invention may further include a manual driving mechanism. The manual driving mechanism can be arranged on the second shell 200, the manual driving mechanism is connected with the second magnetic piece 400, and the manual driving mechanism drives the second magnetic piece 400 to move relative to the second shell 200 under manual operation of a user, so that extra energy consumption is not required.

The manual driving mechanism may be various, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the specific structure of the manual driving mechanism. In an embodiment in which the electronic device comprises a manual driving mechanism, the electronic device may further optionally comprise an operation key 500, the manual driving mechanism at least comprises the operation key 500, and the second housing 200 may further be provided with a through hole 240, and the through hole 240 communicates with the mounting groove 210. The operation key 500 may pass through the through hole 240 and be connected to the second magnetic member 400, and a portion of the operation key 500 is exposed to the electronic device, so that the operation key 500 is exposed to the user for operation when the electronic device is in the folded state. The operation key 500 is slidably engaged with the through-hole 240. In a specific manual manipulation process, the user may manipulate the operation key 500 so that the operation key 500 moves to further drive the second magnetic member 400 to move relative to the second housing 200.

In the case that the second magnetic member 400 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 210, the second magnetic member 400 may have a protrusion 440, the first end of the operation key 500 may pass through the through hole 240 and be connected to the protrusion 440, the second end of the operation key 500 is exposed outside the through hole 240, pressing the operation key 500 may drive the protrusion 440 to move away from the through hole 240, and the movement of the protrusion 440 may drive the second magnetic member 400 to rotate, so that the second magnetic member 400 is switched to the second state. Of course, in this case, the first end of the operation key 500 may be in contact with or rotatably connected to the protrusion 440, so that the protrusion 440 can be pushed away from the penetration 240 when the operation key 500 moves along the penetration 240. In one embodiment, the protrusion 440 may be fixed to the first rotating sleeve 420, which will be described later, and of course, the protrusion 440 may be provided in various manners, which are not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the operation key 500 is connected to the protrusion 440, so that the protrusion 440 can be driven to rotate the second magnetic member 400 to the second state when the operation key 500 is pressed. Of course, by pulling the operation key 500, the operation key 500 drives the protrusion 440 to rotate the second magnetic member 400, so as to reset to the first state.

Of course, the electronic device is usually a miniaturized portable device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc., and the operation key 500 has a small size, so that the pressing operation is easier to be performed, but the pulling operation key 500 is not easy to be operated. Based on this, in an alternative, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the first elastic member 600, and the second housing 200 may further include the support base 250 fixed within the mounting groove 210, and the support base 250 may be a sheet structure, but may be other shapes, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The support base 250 may be located between the protrusions 440 and the perforations 240. A first elastic member 600 may be connected between the protrusion 440 and the support base 250, and the first elastic member 600 is stretched in the second state. Specifically, both ends of the first elastic member 600 may be fixedly coupled with the support base 250 and the protrusion 440, respectively. The first end (i.e., the inner end) of the operation key 500 passes through the support base 250 to be engaged with the protrusion 440, and of course, the operation key 500 is slidably engaged with the support base 250 such that the support base 250 does not affect the driving of the protrusion 440 by the operation key 500.

In this case, once the second magnetic member 400 is switched to the second state to facilitate the expansion of the electronic device, the second magnetic member 400 does not need to be continuously maintained in the second state, the stretched first elastic member 600 is contracted, and the protrusion 440 is driven to rotate in a direction approaching to the through hole 240 under the contraction of the first elastic member 600. In this case, the protrusion 440 pushes the operation key 500 to reset, so that the user does not need to pull the operation key 500 to reset, and the second magnetic member 400 can be reset to the first state in the process. Obviously, this structure can make it unnecessary for the user to operate the operation key 500 at all to drive the second magnetic member 400 to return to the first state.

In addition, in the embodiment of the electronic device including the first elastic member 600, the protrusion 440 may only contact the first end of the operation key 500, and the rotational connection is not required, thereby facilitating the simplification of the structure and the reduction of the assembly difficulty.

In order to better implement the reset of the operation key 500, the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a second elastic member 700, where the second elastic member 700 may be connected to the support base 250 and the second end (i.e., the outer end) of the operation key 500, respectively, and the support base 250 is retracted from the operation key 500, so that the first end of the operation key 500 passes through, the second elastic member 700 is compressed as the operation key 500 is pressed, and after the pressing is finished, the second elastic member 700 is elastically restored to be elongated, thereby driving the operation key 500 to reset. In this structure, the second elastic member 700 and the first elastic member 600 can perform a synergistic action, so that the reset of the operation key 500 can be better achieved. The operation key 500 can be reset, so that the operation key 500 is maintained in a state where it can be directly pressed by the user next time, and thus the use of the user can be facilitated.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the operation key 500 may be provided with a limit flange 510, where the limit flange 510 is located at the inner port of the through hole 240. The limit flanges 510 protrude from the circumferential side of the operation key 500. In the first state of the second magnetic element 400, the limit flange 510 abuts against the surface of the inner port of the through hole 240. In the second state of the second magnetic member 400, the limit flange 510 abuts against the support base 250. It should be added that in this case, the limit flanges 510 still partially lie in the perforations 240. Such a structure can prevent the operation key 500 from falling out of the second housing 200 from the through hole 240 or falling into the installation groove 210, ensuring the stability of installation of the operation key 500.

The limit flanges 510 may be one or at least two. In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the limit flanges 510 may be two and spaced apart. Of course, in the case where the limit flanges 510 are plural, the plural limit flanges 510 may be uniformly distributed on the peripheral side of the operation key 500. The plurality of limit flanges 510 can achieve a relatively uniform limit. Of course, the limit flange 510 may be an annular flange, so as to better perform a limit function. To reduce assembly operations, the limit flanges 510 may be integrally formed with the operating key 500. Of course, the limiting flange 510 may also be fixedly connected with the operation key 500 by bonding, clamping, connecting a connecting piece, and the like, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the second magnetic member 400 is movably disposed on the second housing 200. In one embodiment, the second magnetic member 400 is movably disposed on the second housing 200, in which case the second magnetic member 400 may be moved to change the position of the magnetic pole, thereby enabling the second magnetic member 400 to be moved to a position magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 300 in the first state and to be moved to a position magnetically repelled from the first magnetic member 300 in the second state. Specifically, the second magnetic member 400 may be slidably disposed within the second housing 200.

In other embodiments, the second magnetic member 400 is rotatably disposed on the second housing 200, so that the position of the magnetic pole of the second magnetic member 400 can be changed by rotation, thereby enabling the second magnetic member 400 to rotate to a position magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 300 in the first state and to rotate to a position magnetically repelled from the first magnetic member 300 in the second state.

The first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400 may be permanent magnets, such as magnets. Of course, at least one of the first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400 may be a magnetic coil or the like capable of generating magnetism, and of course, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the specific kind of the first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400.

In an alternative embodiment, the second magnetic member 400 may include a second magnetic member body 410, a first rotating sleeve 420, and a second rotating sleeve 430. The first rotating sleeve 420 and the second rotating sleeve 430 are respectively fixed to opposite ends of the second magnetic member body 410. The second housing 200 may have a first rotating groove 220 and a second rotating groove 230. The first rotating groove 220 and the second rotating groove 230 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the mounting groove 210, and communicate with the mounting groove 210. The first and second rotating sleeves 420 and 430 are supported in the first and second rotating grooves 220 and 230, respectively, and are rotatably fitted with the first and second rotating grooves 220 and 230, respectively. The second magnetic member body 410 is a portion of the second magnetic member 400 having magnetism, and the first rotating sleeve 420 and the second rotating sleeve 430 perform a function of rotational connection. This structure can prevent the magnetic portion from being worn out when the second magnetic member 400 rotates.

Further, the second magnetic member 400 may further include a first buffer sleeve 450 and a second buffer sleeve 460. The first buffer sleeve 450 and the second buffer sleeve 460 may be respectively sleeved at two opposite ends of the second magnetic member body 410, and the first buffer sleeve 450 may be disposed between the first rotating sleeve 420 and the second magnetic member body 410, and the second buffer sleeve 460 may be disposed between the second rotating sleeve 430 and the second magnetic member body 410. The first buffer sleeve 450 and the second buffer sleeve 460 may be made of an elastic material (e.g., a silicone material) to perform a buffer function, so that wear between the first rotating sleeve 420 and the second rotating sleeve 430 and the second magnetic member body 410 can be reduced, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the second magnetic member body 410.

In order to reduce wear, first and second wear layers 221 and 231 may be provided in the first and second rotating grooves 220 and 230, respectively, and first and second rotating sleeves 420 and 430 are rotatably fitted with the first and second wear layers 221 and 231, respectively. This structure can reduce wear between the first rotating sleeve 420 and the first rotating groove 220 and between the second rotating sleeve 430 and the second rotating groove 230.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may further include a protection cover 800. The protective cover 800 is wrapped around the outer surface of the second magnetic member 400. Specifically, the protective cover 800 wraps at least a portion of the outer surface of the second magnetic member 400, so as to protect the second magnetic member 400. Of course, the protective cover 800 should not hinder the magnetic mating relationship between the second magnetic member 400 and the first magnetic member 300. In addition, the protection cover 800 can also fold the chips generated by the collision of the second magnetic element 400, so as to avoid the chips from entering the electronic device to affect the normal operation of the electronic device.

Similarly, the outer part of the first magnetic part 300 can be wrapped with the protection cover 800, so that when the first magnetic part 300 is protected, the first magnetic part 300 can be folded, and chips possibly generated by collision can be prevented from entering the electronic equipment to affect the normal operation of the electronic equipment.

The structure of the protective cover 800 may be varied in the embodiment of the present invention, and in an alternative, the protective cover 800 may include a magnetic conductive portion 810 and a magnetic shielding portion 820. The magnetic conduction portion 810 and the magnetism isolating portion 820 are fixedly connected, and in the first state of the second magnetic member 400, the magnetic conduction portion 810 is located on the opposite side of the second magnetic member 400 to the first magnetic member 300, so that the magnetic field of the second magnetic member 400 can pass through the magnetic conduction portion 810 to magnetically cooperate with the first magnetic member 300. The magnetic conductive portion 810 can avoid magnetic coupling between the first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400, and at the same time, the magnetic isolation portion 820 can isolate the magnetic field of the second magnetic member 400 in other directions, thereby avoiding magnetic interference to other electronic components in the electronic device.

Alternatively, the protective cover 800 may have a cylindrical structure so as to wrap the circumferential side of the second magnetic member 400. In this case, the magnetism isolating part 820 may be a groove-shaped structure, and as shown in fig. 7, the magnetism conducting part 810 covers the notch of the magnetism isolating part 820, thereby forming a cylindrical structure.

The first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400 may be of a unitary structure or a split structure. In the case that the first magnetic element 300 is a split structure, the first magnetic element 300 may include a plurality of first sub-magnetic elements 310, where the plurality of first sub-magnetic elements 310 are fixedly connected, and optionally, the plurality of first sub-magnetic elements 310 may be combined into the first magnetic element 300 by bonding, clamping or splicing. In the case that the second magnetic member 400 is of a split structure, the second magnetic member 400 may include a plurality of second sub-magnetic members 401, and the plurality of second sub-magnetic members 401 are fixedly connected. Alternatively, the plurality of second sub-magnetic members 401 may be combined into the second magnetic member 400 by bonding, clamping or splicing.

In the first state of the second magnetic member 400, the plurality of first sub-magnetic members 310 are magnetically engaged with the plurality of second sub-magnetic members 401, respectively, so that the electronic device is in a folded state.

In the second state of the second magnetic member 400, the plurality of first sub-magnetic members 310 are respectively mutually exclusive with the plurality of second sub-magnetic members 401.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of first sub-magnetic elements 310 may form a halbach array, and correspondingly, the plurality of second sub-magnetic elements 401 may also form a halbach array, and of course, the plurality of first sub-magnetic elements 310 and the plurality of second sub-magnetic elements 401 may also be combined in other manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The number of the first magnetic members 300 may be one or more, and similarly, the number of the second magnetic members 400 may be one or more, and the number of the first magnetic members 300 and the number of the second magnetic members 400 are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Of course, in the case that the first magnetic member 300 and the second magnetic member 400 are plural, the plural first magnetic members 300 and the plural second magnetic members 400 may be respectively matched, so that the electronic device can be better ensured to be maintained in the folded state under the condition that the magnetism is attracted, and meanwhile, the electronic device can be more conveniently unfolded under the condition that the magnetism is repelled.
