请参阅图1及图2,本发明提供一种可折叠显示设备100,所述可折叠显示设备100可以为手机、平板、电子阅读器、电脑、电子展示屏等各种显示设备。本发明以手机为例进行说明。所述可折叠显示设备100包括柔性屏10、第一壳体30、第二壳体40以及转轴组件50。所述转轴组件50包括支撑件20。所述支撑件20可采用钢片或者树脂片等强度较高且具有一定弹性的材料制造。所述转轴组件50位于所述第一壳体30与所述第二壳体40之间并与所述第一壳体30与所述第二壳体40连接,通过所述转轴组件50带动所述第一壳体30与所述第二壳体40的相对旋转,使得所述可折叠显示设备100以所述转轴组件50为折弯位置进行开合。所述支撑件20固定于第一壳体30和第二壳体40上,所述转轴组件50弯折时,所述支撑片20弯曲呈圆弧状。所述柔性屏10设于所述第一壳体30、所述第二壳体40上并覆盖所述支撑件20。换句话说,所述柔性屏10设于所述支撑件20上并与所述第一壳体30、所述第二壳体40固定,以通过所述第一壳体30、所述第二壳体40以及所述支撑件20支撑所述柔性屏10。
进一步的,所述可折叠显示设备100还包括包覆件(图中未示出),所述包覆件包覆所述转轴组件50并与所述第一壳体30及所述第二壳体40密封连接。通过所述包覆件包覆所述转轴组件50,使得所述可折叠显示设备100具有更好的外观效果。并且,通过将所述包覆件与所述第一壳体30及所述第二 壳体40密封连接,从而避免外界的水氧等杂质通过所述转轴组件50进入所述柔性屏10或者可折叠显示设备100的其它结构内,避免水氧等杂质对所述可折叠显示设备100的显示的影响,延长所述可折叠显示设备100的寿命。
请一并参阅图3及图4,所述转轴组件50包括第一转轴511及第二转轴521,各所述第一转轴511与各所述第二专轴521错层排列。换句话说,所述转轴组件50包括层叠的两层转轴,两层所述转轴分别为第一层转轴51及第二层转轴52。所述第一层转轴51包括多个平行间隔设置的所述第一转轴511,所述第二层转轴52包括多个平行间隔设置的所述第二转轴521。所述第一层转轴51的第一转轴511与所述第二层转轴52的第二转轴521交错设置。换句话说,每个所述第二转轴521在所述第一层转轴51上的正投影位于相邻的两个所述第一转轴511之间。每个所述第一转轴511与同该第一转轴511距离最近的两个第二转轴521通过多个连接片53进行旋转连接,使得所述第一转轴511能够相对所述第二转轴521进行旋转。所述第一转轴511与所述支撑件20固定连接,即第一转轴511的侧壁与支撑件20的外表面可通过焊接或胶粘等方式固定,使得所述支撑件20位于两个所述第一转轴511之间的部分的长度保持固定。本实施例中,相邻的两个所述第一转轴511之间的间隔相同。由于所述第一转轴511与所述第二转轴521活动连接的,通过支撑件20的作用,可以保证在转轴组件30弯折时支撑件20位于相邻的两个所述第一转轴511之间的长度保持不变。具体地,当转轴组件50弯折时,由于所述第一转轴511固定于支撑件20上的位置不变,因此,所述转轴组价50弯折使得所述支撑件20进行弯折时,支撑片20在两个相邻的所述第一转轴511之间的部分拱起而形成弧形,使得所以支撑件20位于相邻两个第一转轴511之间的部分会拉动相邻的其中第一转轴511相对另一个第一转轴511相向移动,两个相邻的第一转轴511再通过连接件53带动第二转轴521朝远离两个第一转轴511的方向移动,即带动第二转轴521朝向弯折中心的位置移动。相邻的第二转轴521在移动过程中相互靠近,使得相邻的第二转轴521之间的距离减小。并且,所述转轴组件50弯折过程中,相邻的两个所述第一转轴511之间的距离大于相邻的两个所述第二转轴521之间的距离,且此时,连接同一所述第二转轴521并分别连接两个相邻的所述第一转轴511的两个所述连接件53之间形成的夹 角在所述转轴组件50弯折时逐渐减小。由于相邻的两个第一转轴511实际上是通过第二转轴521活动连接的,因此在弯折过程中,支撑件30只需要很小的作用力即可带动相邻的两个第一转轴511及相邻的两个第二转轴521相对运动,从而减轻或避免支撑件30在弯折过程中受到较大的作用力而拉伸或压缩的情况,以进一步减轻或防止贴设在支撑件30上的柔性屏10出现拉伸或压缩的情况,从而可延长柔性屏10的寿命,进而延长所述可折叠显示设备100的寿命。
本实施例中,请参阅图4,所述连接件53连接于所述第一转轴511及所述第二转轴521的两端。可以理解的是,所述连接件53还可以连接于所述第一转轴511及所述第二转轴521的中间位置。本实施例中,所述连接件53包括阻尼件,所述转轴组件50在弯折过程中阻尼片产生旋转阻尼,从而使得所述转轴组件50能够定位于任意旋转位置。具体的,所述第一转轴511及所述第二转轴521均为柱状轴,所述第一转轴511及所述第二转轴521均包括相对的第一端及第二端以及位于所述第一端与所述第二端之间的中间段,所述第一端与第二端的直径小于所述中间段的直径,使得所述第一转轴511两端均形成有第一台阶结构512,所述第二转轴521的两端形成有第二台阶结构522。所述阻尼片53包括与所述第一转轴511连接的第一端53a以及与所述第二转轴521连接的第二端53b,所述第一端53a与第二端53b上均形成有开孔,所述第一端53a上的开孔的孔径大小与所述第一转轴511的第一端或第二端的直径大小相同,从而通过所述第一台阶结构512阻挡所述阻尼片53向中间段方向的移动。所述第二端53b上的开孔的孔径大小与所述第二转轴521的第一端或第二端的直径大小相同,从而通过所述第二台阶结构522阻挡所述阻尼片53向中间段方向的移动。所述第一转轴511的第一端或者第二端插于所述第一端53a的开孔内,从而实现所述阻尼片53与所述第一转轴511转动连接。同样的,所述第二转轴521的第一端或者第二端插于所述第二端53b的开孔内,从而实现所述阻尼片53与所述第二转轴521的转动连接。并且,在所述第一转轴511的第一端及第二端上的阻尼片53背离所述第一台阶结构512一侧设置固定件54,以将连接于所述第一转轴511上的多个阻尼片53压紧于所述第一台阶结构512与所述固定件54之间。同样的,在所述第二转轴521的第一端 及第二端上的阻尼片53背离所述第二台阶结构522一侧设置固定件54,以将连接于所述第二转轴521上的多个阻尼片53压紧于所述第二台阶结构522与所述固定件54之间。本实施例中,所述固定件54为螺母,所述第一转轴511及所述第二转轴521的第一端及第二端上均设有螺纹,使得所述固定件54与所述第一转轴511及第二转轴521进行螺纹连接。
进一步的,请参阅图4,本实施例中,连接所述第一转轴511与同该第一转轴511距离最近的两个第二转轴521的多个阻尼片53分为数个第一阻尼片531及数个第二阻尼片532,所述第一阻尼片531连接所述第一转轴511与一个所述第二转轴521,所述第二阻尼片532连接所述第一转轴511与另一个所述第二转轴521,连接于同一所述第一转轴511上的所述第一阻尼片531与所述第二阻尼片532交替设置,同样的,连接于同一所述第二转轴521上的所述第一阻尼片531及第二阻尼片532也交替设置。第一阻尼片531与第二阻尼片532均与第一转轴511及第二转轴521过盈配合,从而使得所述转轴组件50进行转动时,所述第一阻尼片531与所述第二阻尼片532之间进行相对转动,从而能够通过控制所述第一阻尼片531和所述第二阻尼片532与第一转轴511及第二转轴521之间的摩擦力的大小控制转动所述转轴组件50所需力的大小,从而避免摩擦力太小时,所述转轴组件50容易发生转动,从而不容易固定于某一折叠角度的问题;同时,也能够避免太大时,不容易改变述转轴组件50的折叠角度的问题。本发明实施例中,通过阻尼片连接第一转轴511与第二转轴521,不仅可以起到活动连接作用,还可以起到控制转轴组件50整体的旋转阻尼作用。当然,可以理解地,本发明还可以采用其他连接件来连接相邻的转轴,即连接件也可以不具有阻尼作用,仅作为连接部件来活动连接相邻的转轴。
当转轴组件弯折时,受到支撑片30的拉动,各第一转轴511会相对相邻的第一转轴511相向移动(在实际看来,有可能是两个相邻的第一转轴511相向移动,也有可能是两个相邻的第一转轴511均朝某一方向移动,但其中一个第一转轴511的移动距离小于另一个第一转轴511的移动距离,因而可以认为一个第一转轴511相对相邻的另一个第一转轴511相向移动),即各第一转轴511会靠近相邻的第一转轴511,而使得相邻的两个第一转轴511之间的距离 变小。此时支撑片30在两个相邻第一转轴511之间的部分拱起发生变形,形成外凸的弧形,但长度保持不变。相邻的两个第一转轴511由于相互靠近,带动各自的连接件53发生转动,使得连接于同一第二转轴521并分别连接相邻的两个第一转轴511的两个连接件53之间的夹角变小,推动两个连接件53共同连接的第二转轴521朝远离支撑片30的方向移动。由于阻尼片的阻尼作用,因而在弯折过程中转轴组件30可以定位在任意位置。
由于只需要转轴(包括第一转轴511及第二转轴521)及连接件53就可实现转轴组件30的弯折,因而整体结构较为简单,有利于产业内的推广应用。并且,转轴组件30可以减小或避免对于柔性屏10的拉伸或压缩,可确保柔性屏10在使用时的稳定性。
在本发明的其它实施例中,还可以通过相邻阻尼片之间的摩擦力来控制旋转阻尼,此时第一转轴及第二转轴与阻尼片可以为松动配合。本实施例中,由于连接于同一所述第一转轴511及同一所述第二转轴521上的所述第一阻尼片531及第二阻尼片532均交替设置,使得弯折所述转轴组件50时,相邻的所述第一阻尼片531及第二阻尼片532之间产生相对旋转,从而产生摩擦例。通过控制所述固定件54压紧连接于所述第一转轴511上的阻尼片53的压紧力的大小,以及所述固定件55压紧连接于所述第二转轴521上的阻尼片53的压紧力的大小以控制所述第一阻尼片531与所述第二阻尼片532之间的摩擦力的大小,进而控制旋转阻尼的大小。进一步的,可以在连接于任一所述第一转轴511或所述第二转轴521上的相邻的两个所述阻尼片53之间设置摩擦件(图中未示出),以增连接于所述第一转轴511或所述第二转轴521上的相邻的两个所述阻尼片53之间的摩擦力(即图2所述实施例中的所述第一阻尼片531与第二阻尼片532之间的摩擦力的大小)。所述摩擦件为表面摩擦系数较所述阻尼片53高,且具有较大的强度的结构。进一步的,所述摩擦件的结构与所述阻尼片53的结构相同,同样连接所述第一转轴511及所述第二转轴521。在本发明的其它实施例中,还可以对所述阻尼片53进行表面处理,以使所述阻尼片53的表面的摩擦系数增大。例如,通过激光处理等工艺,在所述阻尼片53表面形成凹槽或凸起,从而增加其表面的摩擦系数。
本发明提供的所述转轴组件50,通过设置两层所述转轴,并将每个所述 第一转轴511与同该第一转轴511距离最近的两个第二转轴521通过多个阻尼片53连接,使得所述第一转轴511能够相对所述第二转轴521进行旋转。当弯折所述转轴组件50以使得所述可折叠显示设备100进行折叠或展平时,相邻的两个所述第一转轴511之间的距离不变,仅使得所述相邻的两个所述第二转轴521之间的距离随所述转轴组件50的弯折程度而变化,使得折叠或展平所述可折叠显示设备100时,,设于第一转轴511一侧柔性屏10的折弯位置不会受到拉伸或者压缩,从而延长可折叠显示设备100的寿命。
以上所揭露的仅为本发明一种较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本发明之权利范围,本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分流程,并依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属于发明所涵盖的范围。
