pallet vias

485, 495 in fig. 13 are not limited to the strip-shaped through holes, and may be other special-shaped holes that allow the pallet to move.

It is to be understood that pallet vias 485, 495 may be provided for pallet movement, and therefore, a "pallet via" may also be referred to as a "runner", while pallet via 485 may be referred to as a "first runner" and board via 495 may be referred to as a "second runner".

Referring to fig. 10, 14 and 15, fig. 14 and 15 disclose schematic structural diagrams of a supporting plate from different viewing angles according to an embodiment of the present application. The pallet may comprise two, respectively a first pallet 43 and a second pallet 44. The first supporting plate 43 and the second supporting plate 44 are symmetrically arranged, and are used for being bonded with the display module 500 and bearing the display module 500 in the folding or unfolding process of the housing assembly 100, so that the display module 500 can be bent and folded, and the surface of the display module 500 tends to be flat when the display module 500 is unfolded.

Specifically, the pallet may include a connection plate 431 and a yield plate 433. The connecting plate 431 may be a strip-shaped plate structure for being adhered and fixed to the display module 500, and a pivoting portion 432 is disposed at an edge thereof for being rotatably connected to the supporting plate via hole 485 of the first hinge module 41 and for being rotatably connected to the supporting plate via hole 485 of the second hinge module 42. The pivot portion 432 extends from the edge of the connecting plate 431 to a side away from the display module 500. A portion of the pivot portion 432 is broken to form an opening 4321 for providing a relief for electronic components inside the electronic device 000, such as a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) or the like, so as to connect the circuits between the housings in the housing assembly 100. The pivoting portion 432 is partially broken to form two opposite pivoting ends 4322 at the edge of the connection plate 431, so as to connect the pivoting ends 4322 and the first pivoting module 41, such as the pallet via 485, by a pivoting shaft, such as a screw, a stud, a connection column 473, and the like.

Let position board 433 can be bar platelike structure, lets position board 433 and connecting plate 431 link together, and the connecting plate 431 extends the setting to pivot support frame 46 in, lets position board 433 be located the connecting plate 431 towards pivot support frame 46 one side to the setting of pivot support frame 46 one side slope to make and have an contained angle between connecting plate 431 and the position board 433 of letting, the angular range of contained angle is 135-175. The yielding plate 433 is used for yielding the display module 500 in the folding process. The positioning plate 433 extends toward the edge of the first hinge module 41 to form a protrusion 434 protruding toward the first hinge module 41, and the positioning plate 433 extends toward the edge of the second hinge module 42 to form a protrusion 434 protruding toward the second hinge module 42. The convex portion 434 is used for cooperating with the rotation shaft supporting frame 46 to prevent the supporting plate from separating from the rotation shaft supporting frame 46 to cause the bending damage of the reverse deformation of the display module 500.

Referring to fig. 10, the number of the positioning pieces 45 may be four, and the positioning pieces 45 are mounted on the rotating shaft support 46. Each connecting column 473 corresponding to the first rotating shaft module 41 and the second rotating shaft module 42 respectively is used to avoid scratches caused by direct contact between the connecting column 473 and the supporting plate and the display module 500, and in addition, the supporting plate can be limited to avoid damage to the display module 500 caused by movement of the supporting plate along the axis of the rotating shaft. The locating tab 45 may be attached to the shaft support 46 by adhesive bonding, welding, snap-fit connection, or the like.

The supporting frame side wall 462 is located between the two supporting frame bodies 461, the edge of the supporting frame side wall 462 is connected with the edge of the two supporting frame bodies 461, and forms an accommodating space with the two supporting frame bodies 461, and the supporting frame side wall 462 faces to an opening of one side of the display module 500 for accommodating the display module 500 and the supporting plate. The outer surface of the side wall 462 of the support frame facing the side of the housing assembly 100, such as the first housing 10, may be a curved surface, and the outer surface of the side wall 462 of the support frame facing the side of the housing assembly 100, such as the second housing 20, may be a curved surface, so that the folding mechanism 200 is not obstructed by the side wall 462 of the support frame when folded. The supporting frame main body 461 is provided with two pivoting holes 4611 corresponding to each connecting post 473 for being fixedly connected to each connecting post 473, i.e. two pivoting holes 4611 are provided on each supporting frame main body 461.

The number of the positioning slots 4612 is two, and the two positioning slots are respectively located at the positions of the two pivoting holes 4611. A spacer 45 may be installed at each of the positioning slots 4612 to prevent the connecting posts 473 from directly contacting the supporting plate or the display module 500. Of course, the connecting post 473 can be rotatably connected to the positioning plate 45 through the positioning slot 4612. The opening of the side wall 462 of the supporting frame is provided with a reverse-buckling structure 463 of the supporting frame main body 461 so as to be matched with the convex part 434, thereby preventing the position plate 433 from separating from the accommodating space. The display module 500 is prevented from being deformed reversely in the bending process, and the damage of the display module 500 caused by the bending motion of the display module 500 is avoided. The number of the reversing structures 463 is four, and the positioning slot 4612 extends toward one side of the display module 500 to form an installation position for installing the reversing structures 463. There is a concave position between two back-off structures 463 installed on a support frame main body 461, so that the convex part 434 on the position plate 433 can be inserted into the accommodating space from the concave position to complete the installation, and when the folding mechanism 200 is folded, the convex part 434 is limited in the accommodating space by the back-off structures 463.

The positive stops 4613 may also ensure that the electronic device 000 tends to be flat when deployed.

Referring to fig. 1, the camera module 300 may include two, a rear camera module 301 and a front camera module 302. Wherein the rear camera module 301 may be mounted at the through hole 322 of the third housing 30, and the front camera module 302 may be mounted at the through hole 3121.

The camera module 300 may be one or more of a periscopic tele-camera, a wide-angle camera, and a large wide-angle camera. Specifically, compared to a vertical lens, the periscopic telephoto camera can reduce the requirement for the height of the camera by changing the propagation path of light, and thus can reduce the overall thickness of the electronic device 000. The field angle of the periscopic long-focus camera can be within 10-30 degrees, the focal length of the periscopic long-focus camera is large, and the periscopic long-focus camera is generally used for shooting a long shot so as to obtain a clear image of the long shot. The vertical lens refers to a lens with a straight optical axis, such as a wide-angle camera and a large wide-angle camera. The wide-angle camera has the advantages of being high in pixel and large in pixel point, is used for non-distant view or close view, and can normally shoot objects, and the field angle of the wide-angle camera is a common field angle which is within the range of 80-110 degrees. The field angle of the large wide-angle camera is an ultra-wide angle, is in the range of 110-130 degrees, is used for wide-angle shooting, and is favorable for improving the optical zoom multiple. The field angle of the large wide-angle camera is large, and correspondingly, the focal length of the large wide-angle camera is short, so that the large wide-angle camera is generally used for shooting a close shot, and a local close-up image of an object is obtained. In one embodiment, the electronic device 000 may be configured with 3 cameras, and the first camera is a periscopic telephoto camera with an angle of view of 10 degrees, 12 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 26 degrees, or 30 degrees.
