The second engaging wheel 5 has a non-circular shaft hole penetrating through it for engaging with the non-circular shaft at the other end of the second shaft 32, so that the second shaft 32 can be connected to the second engaging wheel 5 in a manner of synchronous rotation. The second engaging wheel 5 includes a second large-diameter portion 51 and a second small-diameter portion 52 which are coaxial, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on the periphery of the second large-diameter portion 51 and serves as a second engaging portion 53; the outer periphery of the second small diameter portion 52 has a radially outwardly projecting sector, and both end faces of the sector serve as second stop portions 54, 54', respectively.
The connecting seat 6 comprises a left plate body 61 and a right plate body 62, wherein the left plate body 61 and the right plate body 62 are arc-shaped plates and are continuously penetrated through a first shaft hole 63 and a second shaft hole 64 respectively; the first shaft 22 and the second shaft 32 respectively pass through the first shaft hole 63 and the second shaft hole 64 to pivotally connect two ends of the connecting base 6. Have the spacing portion 65 of an arc on the right flank of left plate body 61, the spacing portion 65 of arc includes first arc piece 66 and second arc piece 67, and first arc piece 66 and second arc piece 67 extend right with the right flank direction of keeping away from left plate body 61 respectively, form arc guide slot 68 between first arc piece 66 and the second arc piece 67.
The first engaging wheel 4 and the second engaging wheel 5 are sandwiched between the left plate 61 and the right plate 62, and the first large diameter portion 41 and the second large diameter portion 51 are adjacent to the right side surface of the left plate 61, and the first small diameter portion 42 and the second small diameter portion 52 are adjacent to the left side surface of the right plate 62.

Therefore, when the two first stopping parts 44,44 'on the periphery of the first engaging wheel 4 respectively and correspondingly press the two first stopping parts 624,624', the rotation angle of the first rotating member 2 can be limited; when the two second stopping portions 54,54 'on the periphery of the second engaging wheel 5 respectively and correspondingly press the two second stopping portions 625,625', the rotation angle of the second rotating member 3 can be limited.

The friction positioning components 8 and 8 'have two sets, and any one set of the friction positioning components 8 and 8' includes a friction plate 81 and 81 'and a plurality of spring strips 82 and 82', so that the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32 respectively pass through the two sets of the friction positioning components 8 and 8 'and are respectively screwed and fixed by the nuts 83 and 83', and then the plurality of spring strips 82 and 82 'can be respectively compressed, and the friction plates 82 and 82' are forced to contact with the right side surface of the right plate 62 to respectively generate a rotational friction torsion, thereby enabling the first support frame 9 and the second support frame 91 to be freely stopped or positioned at a preset angle position when the first support frame and the second support frame 91 rotate relatively.
When the screen and the base (or one screen and another screen connected to each rotating shaft) connected to each rotating shaft are in a covering state, that is, the first support frame 9 and the second support frame 91 shown in fig. 1, 4 and 5 are in a covering state, the first pressing portion 71 at one end of the arc-shaped slider 7 presses against the periphery of the first engaging wheel 4, and the second pressing portion 72 at the other end of the arc-shaped slider 7 presses against the second engaging portion 53 of the second engaging wheel 5; at this time, the first stop portion 44 'at the periphery of the first engaging wheel 4 correspondingly presses the first stop portion 624' to prevent the first rotating shaft 22 of the first rotating member 2 from rotating clockwise; the second stopping portion 54 on the periphery of the second engaging wheel 5 simultaneously presses the second stopping portion 625, so as to prevent the second rotating shaft 32 of the second rotating member 3 from rotating in the counterclockwise direction, and further prevent the first supporting frame 9 and the second supporting frame 91 from rotating in the same direction.
As shown in fig. 6 to 8, when the first rotating shaft 22 rotates from 0 degree to 180 degrees in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the second rotating shaft 32, the arc-shaped sliding block 7 is maintained at the original position without sliding as shown in fig. 6, and the second pressing portion 72 of the arc-shaped sliding block 7 still presses to lock the second engaging portion 53 of the second engaging wheel 5. When the first shaft 22 rotates to 180 degrees, the first stopping portion 44 at the periphery of the first engaging wheel 4 is pressed against and limited by the first stopping portion 624 on the right plate 62, so that the first shaft 22 can not rotate any more in the counterclockwise direction, and only the second shaft 32 can rotate in the clockwise direction.
As shown in fig. 9 to 11, when the second rotating shaft 32 rotates relative to the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32 rotates from 180 degrees to 360 degrees clockwise, the second pressing portion 72 of the arc-shaped slider 7 releases the locking action on the second engaging portion 53 of the second engaging wheel 5 by the rotation of the second engaging wheel 5, so that the second pressing portion 72 continuously presses against the periphery of the second large-diameter portion 51 of the second engaging wheel 5, and the middle section 73 of the arc-shaped slider 7 is forced to slide in the arc-shaped guide slot 68, so that the first pressing portion 71 of the arc-shaped slider 7 presses against the first engaging portion 43 on the first large-diameter portion 41 of the first engaging wheel 4, thereby engaging and locking the first rotating shaft 22. When the second shaft 32 rotates to 360 degrees, the second stopping portion 54 'at the periphery of the second engaging wheel 5 is pressed against and limited by the second stopping portion 625' on the right plate 62, and the second shaft 32 can not rotate clockwise any more, so as to achieve the effect of alternate rotation. Therefore, after the double rotating shafts are turned by 360 degrees, the first supporting frame 9 and the second supporting frame 91 connected with each rotating shaft can be adjusted to be parallel to each other, or the screen and the base (or one screen and the other screen connected with each rotating shaft) connected with each rotating shaft can be adjusted to be in a completely overlapped state.
Therefore, the utility model improves the traditional double-shaft 360-degree alternate turnover structure and changes the switching slide block into the arc slide block, the sliding track of the arc slide block can be effectively changed, the distance between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft is reduced, and the whole thickness is further reduced to be beneficial to design; the whole volume is lighter and thinner, and the device can meet the requirements of different machine types and sizes.
