技术领域
本申请涉及电子设备技术领域,尤其涉及一种柔性屏和可折叠设备。
背景技术
在可折叠设备中,柔性屏是实现可折叠功能的关键部件之一。柔性屏可以包括柔性显示面板和位于其背部的承托板,柔性显示面板具备较大的柔性,从而可以为随意弯曲。承托板具有一定的刚性,从而能够为柔性显示面板提供一定的支撑作用。但是,当柔性屏被折叠时,承托板会在一定程度上限制柔性屏的最小弯折半径,因此,会影响柔性屏的折叠效果。具体来说,当可折叠设备被折叠后,被折叠的部分会形成较大隆起,该隆起会增加可折叠设备被折叠后的最大厚度,从而不利于提升可折叠设备被折叠后的便携性。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种能够提升折叠效果的柔性屏和可折叠设备。
一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种柔性屏,包括柔性显示面板和承托板。柔性显示面板具有背面和用于显示图像的显示面。承托板设置在柔性显示面板的背面,用于对柔性显示面板提供一定的支撑作用。其中,承托板具有沿第一方向依次设置的第一固定部、第一弯折部、第一连接部、主弯折部、第二连接部、第二弯折部和第二固定部,其中,第一方向平行于承托板的板面。柔性屏被折叠后,主弯折部可以朝折叠方向进行弯曲,第一弯折部和第二弯折部可以背离折叠方向进行弯曲,从而能够对柔性屏的折叠形态进行有效控制。另外,当柔性屏被展开后,承托板能够通过自身的刚性来提升柔性显示面板的平面度,从而有效提升柔性显示面板的显示效果。
在具体实施时,当柔性屏被展开后,可以形成平直的板状结构。即柔性显示面板用于显示图像的表面可以具备较好的平面度,以提供良好的显示效果和视觉体验。另外,当柔性屏被折叠后,第一固定部和第二固定部可以处于相互平行的状态,从而尽可能的降低柔性屏所占用的体积大小;另外,还能有效降低柔性屏所围成轮廓的大小,从而还有助于提升柔性屏的安全性。
在具体实施时,为了使得第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部相较于第一固定部、第一连接部、第二连接部和第二固定部具有较大的柔性。
在一种实现方式中,第一固定部、第一连接部、第二连接部和第二固定部的厚度可以大于第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部的厚度。具体来说,当承托板的厚度不均匀时, 厚度较小的区域更容易被弯曲,相应的,厚度较大的区域更不容易被弯曲。
在另一种实现方式中,第一固定部、第一连接部、第二连接部和第二固定部的材料密度可以大于第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部的材料密度。具体来说,当承托板整体采用同一种材料制成,且在不同区域中,单位体积内材料的重量不同时;单位体积内材料的重量较小(即材料密度较小)的区域更容易被弯曲。相应的,单位体积内材料的重量较大(即材料密度较大)的区域更不容易被弯曲。
在另一种实现方式中,可以在第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部中可以设置通孔。以第一弯折部为例,在第一弯折部设置贯穿承托板的上、下板面的通孔后,会降低该区域的刚性,当承托板被弯曲时,设置有通孔的区域更容易产生弯曲形变。相应的,在主弯折部和第二弯折部设置通孔,同样能够降低该设置通孔区域的刚性。
为了使得第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部能够被更好的弯曲,在第二方向上,多个通孔可以由承托板的一个边缘排列至另一个边缘。其中,第二方向平行于承托板的板面,且垂直于第一方向。
另外,为了使得第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部能够具备一定大小的弯曲区域。沿第一方向,可以在第一弯折部设置多列该通孔。相应的,沿第一方向,可以在主弯折部设置多列该通孔、沿第一方向,可以在第二弯折部设置多列该通孔。在具体配置时,相邻的两列通孔可以交错设置,以保证第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部具备较强的受力性能和耐疲劳度。
另外,考虑到在实际使用时,主弯折部的弯折角度可能会比较大,因此,主弯折部的区域可以大于第一弯折部和第二弯折部的区域。具体来说,在主弯折部,可以设置更多列通孔;在第一弯折部可以设置较少列通孔,在第二弯折部也可以设置较少列通孔。其中,第一弯折部和第二弯折部所设置通孔的列数可以相同也可以不同。另外,第一连接部和第二连接部可以关于主弯折部对称设置也可以非对称设置。或者,可以理解的是,在第一方向上,第一连接部的长度与第二连接部可以相同也可以不同。相应的,第一弯折部和第二弯折部可以关于主弯折部对称设置也可以非对称设置。或者,可以理解的是,在第一方向上,第一弯折部所设置的通孔的列数与第二弯折部所设置的通孔的列数可以相同也可以不同。相应的,第一固定部和第二固定部可以关于主弯折部对称设置也可以非对称设置。或者,可以理解的是,在第一方向上,第一固定部的长度与第二固定部的长度可以相同也可以不同。
另外,在具体实施时,通孔的截面轮廓可以是圆形、椭圆形或其他的形状。
例如,通孔的截面轮廓为长条状。另外,为了提升第一弯折部、主弯折部和第二弯折部的可弯折性能,通孔的截面轮廓的长度方向平行于第二方向(或垂直于第一方向)。
在具体配置时,承托板可以通过粘结层贴合在柔性显示面板的背部。其中,粘结层具体可以是双面胶,也可以是包含有聚氨酯、聚乙烯、聚丙烯等材质的胶层。在具体实施时,承托板的形状轮廓、大小可以与柔性显示面板的形状轮廓、大小可以相同也可以不同。例如,承托板和柔性显示面板可以是相同大小的矩形结构。承托板的其中一个板面与柔性显示面板的背部完全贴合,以提升承托板和柔性显示面板之间的连接强度和弯曲形变时的一致性。
另一方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种可折叠设备,包括第一壳体、第二壳体、铰链和上述的柔性屏,第一壳体和第二壳体通过铰链进行连接,以实现可折叠设备的可折叠功 能。承托板的第一固定部与第一壳体固定连接,第二固定部与第二壳体固定连接。当第一壳体和第二壳体相对折叠或展开时,承托板(或柔性屏)也能够随之被折叠或展开。
在具体实施时,铰链的结构、弯折形态可以是多样的。或者,柔性屏也可以与铰链中的部分结构进行固定连接。
例如,铰链中可以包括主体和关于主体对称设置的第一折叠组件和第二折叠组件,第一折叠组件和第二折叠组件能够相对于主体相向或相背离转动,以实现铰链的折叠功能。第一折叠组件可以包括:第一摆动连杆、第一摆臂、第一从动臂和第一支撑板。第一摆臂的一端可以与主体转动连接,另一端可以与第一摆动连杆转动连接;第一从动臂的一端可以与主体转动连接,另一端可以与第一摆动连杆滑动连接;其中,第一从动臂和第一摆臂在主体上的旋转轴心相互平行且不重合,以使第一折叠组件相对于主体转动时能够产生长度变化。第二折叠组件可以包括:第二摆动连杆、第二摆臂、第二从动臂和第二支撑板。第二摆臂的一端可以与主体转动连接,另一端可以与第二摆动连杆转动连接;第二从动臂的一端可以与主体转动连接,另一端可以与第二摆动连杆滑动连接;其中,第二从动臂和第二摆臂在主体上的旋转轴心相互平行且不重合,以使第二折叠组件相对于主体转动时能够产生长度变化。
当铰链被折叠时,第一摆动连杆和第二摆动连杆相向转动,第一摆动连杆带动第一从动臂同步转动,且第一摆动连杆和第一摆臂相对第一从动臂伸展运动,第二摆动连杆带动第二从动臂同步转动,且第二摆动连杆和第二摆臂相对第二从动臂伸展运动,以增加铰链的长度;与第一支撑板滑动连接的第一摆臂或第一从动臂驱动第一支撑板相对第一摆动连杆正向转动(例如,当第一摆动连杆顺时针旋转时,第一支撑板相对于第一摆动连杆顺时针旋转),与第二支撑板滑动连接的第二摆臂或第二从动臂驱动第二支撑板相对第二摆动连杆正向转动(例如,当第二摆动连杆逆时针旋转时,第二支撑板相对于第二摆动连杆逆时针旋转),以使第一支撑板、第二支撑板和主体围成容纳空间。
当铰链被展开时,第一摆动连杆和第二摆动连杆相背离转动,第一摆动连杆带动第一从动臂同步转动,且第一摆动连杆和第一摆臂相对第一从动臂收缩运动,第二摆动连杆带动第二从动臂同步转动,且第二摆动连杆和第二摆臂相对第二从动臂收缩运动,以缩减铰链的长度;与第一支撑板滑动连接的第一摆臂或第一从动臂驱动第一支撑板相对第一摆动连杆正向转动(例如,当第一摆动连杆逆时针旋转时,第一支撑板相对于第一摆动连杆逆时针旋转),与第二支撑板滑动连接的第二摆臂或第二从动臂驱动第二支撑板相对第二摆动连杆正向转动(例如,当第二摆动连杆顺时针旋转时,第二支撑板相对于第二摆动连杆顺时针旋转),以使第一支撑板、第二支撑板和主体展平成支撑面。从而能够对柔性屏起到良好的支撑作用。
在本申请实施例提供的铰链中,当铰链被折叠时,其长度能够得到良好的伸展,同时,第一支撑板、主体和第二支撑板能够逐渐围成容纳空间;当铰链被展开时,其长度能够得到良好的缩短,同时第一支撑板、主体和第二支撑板能够逐渐展平成支撑面。另外,在此过程中,从外观上看铰链中不会出现明显缝隙,从而具备较好的遮蔽性,有利于提升铰链的整体性和安全性。承托板还可以与第一支撑板和第二支撑板固定连接。在具体实施时,承托板的第一连接部可以粘接在第一支撑板上,第二连接部可以粘接在第二支撑板上。在铰链的折叠、展开过程中,第一支撑板和第二支撑板可随着铰链的折叠状态产生旋转或滑动等姿态变化。相应的,第一连接部也可以随着第一支撑板产生对应的姿态变化。第二连 接部也可以随着第二支撑板产生对应的姿态变化。使得第一支撑板和第二支撑板能有效对承托板(或柔性屏)的形态进行较为有效的控制,从而有利于增加可折叠设备的使用效果和稳定性。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
为了方便理解本申请实施例提供的柔性屏,下面首先介绍一下其应用场景。
本申请实施例提供的柔性屏可以应用在可折叠手机、可折叠平板电脑、笔记本电脑、可折叠电子书等可折叠设备中。柔性屏具备一定的可弯折性,因此,在一些情况下可以将柔性屏进行折叠,在另一些情况下可以将柔性屏进行展开。例如,当可折叠设备被折叠后,柔性屏可以随之被折叠,从而可以降低可折叠设备的面积,以提升便携性。当可折叠设备被展开后,柔性屏可以随之被展开,从而可以提供较大的显示区域,以提升用户的使用便利性。
在一些可折叠设备中,将可折叠设备进行折叠后,并没有考虑到柔性屏中被折叠部分的姿态。另外,也没有设置相应的结构对柔性屏的折叠姿态进行有效控制,导致柔性屏中的被折叠部分出现较大隆起,从而会影响到可折叠设备的厚度和折叠后的整体姿态。
具体来说,如图1所示,可折叠设备可以包括通过铰链01连接的第一主体02和第二主体03,第一主体02可以通过铰链01相对第二主体03进行折叠,从而实现可折叠设备的折叠功能。柔性屏04的一部分与第一主体02固定连接,另一部分与第二主体03固定连接。柔性屏04具备一定的柔性,因此,当第一主体02和第二主体03通过铰链01进行折叠时,柔性屏04对应于铰链01的部分可以产生弯曲形变。在实际应用时,为了保证柔性屏04的安全性,柔性屏04中的被折叠部分(即产生弯曲形变的部分)的弯折半径R需要大于特定值,以防止出现折痕或裂纹等不良情况。为此,可折叠设备被折叠后,在铰链 01部分(或柔性屏04的被折叠部分)会形成较大的拱状隆起,从而会影响到可折叠设备的厚度。另外,第一主体02和第二主体03之间也会保持一定的夹角,而不能处于相互平行的状态,从而降低了可折叠设备的安全性。例如,当可折叠设备遭受外力挤压后,铰链01会承受较大的作用力,容易产生形变、失效等风险;另外,第一主体02和第二主体03之间的夹缝中容易存留异物,从而会对柔性屏04的安全性造成不良影响。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种能够折叠姿态进行有效控制的柔性屏和应用该柔性屏的可折叠设备。
为了便于理解本申请技术方案,下面将结合附图和具体实施方式对本申请所提供的柔性屏进行具体说明。
以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的,而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括例如“一个或多个”这种表达形式,除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。还应当理解,在本申请以下各实施例中,“至少一个”、“一个或多个”是指一个、两个或两个以上。术语“和/或”,用于描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系;例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A、B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”或“一些实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。由此,在本说明书中的不同之处出现的语句“在一个实施例中”、“在一些实施例中”、“在其他一些实施例中”、“在另外一些实施例中”等不是必然都参考相同的实施例,而是意味着“一个或多个但不是所有的实施例”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。术语“包括”、“包含”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。
如图2所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,柔性屏10包括柔性显示面板11(如OLED显示面板)和承托板12。柔性显示面板11的上表面为用于显示图像的显示面,下表面为背面。承托板12通过粘结层13设置在柔性显示面板11的背面,用于对柔性显示面板11提供一定的支撑作用。另外,为了能够对柔性屏10的折叠姿态进行有效控制,承托板12具有沿第一方向(图中由左到右的方向)依次设置的第一固定部121、第一弯折部122、第一连接部123、主弯折部124、第二连接部125、第二弯折部126和第二固定部127,其中,第一方向平行于承托板12的板面。请结合参阅图3,柔性屏10被折叠后,主弯折部124可以朝折叠方向进行弯曲(也可以理解为朝内弯曲),第一弯折部122和第二弯折部126可以背离折叠方向进行弯曲(也可以理解为朝外弯曲),从而能够对柔性屏10的折叠形态进行有效控制。在承托板12的作用下,当柔性屏10被展开后,能够提升柔性显示面板11的平面度,从而有效提升柔性显示面板11的显示效果。当柔性屏10被折叠后,承托板12能够通过自身的结构设置来控制柔性屏10的折叠姿态,从而能够提升用户的使用体验。
具体来说,如图2所示,承托板12可以是金属板、玻璃板或塑料板等具有一定刚性的板状结构。在承托板12中,第一弯折部122、第一连接部123、主弯折部124、第二连接部125和第二弯折部126共同构成柔性屏10的弯曲部120。第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127具有较大的刚性;第一弯折部122、主弯折部 124和第二弯折部126具有较好柔性。如图3所示,当柔性屏10被折叠后,刚性较大的第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127不易被弯曲可以保持平板结构,同时,柔性较大的第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126较容易被弯曲。另外,由于主弯折部124可以朝折叠方向进行弯曲、第一弯折部122和第二弯折部126可以背离折叠方向进行弯曲,从而会降低柔性屏10的弯曲部所围成轮廓A的大小。
在具体实施时,当柔性屏10被展开后,可以形成平直的板状结构。即柔性显示面板11用于显示图像的表面可以具备较好的平面度,以提供良好的显示效果和视觉体验。另外,当柔性屏10被折叠后,第一固定部121和第二固定部127可以处于相互平行的状态,从而尽可能的降低柔性屏10所占用的体积大小;另外,还能有效降低柔性屏10所围成轮廓A的大小,从而还有助于提升柔性屏10的安全性。
另外,为了使得第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126相较于第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127具有较大的柔性。
在一种实现方式中,第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127的厚度可以大于第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126的厚度。具体来说,当承托板12的厚度不均匀时,厚度较小的区域更容易被弯曲,相应的,厚度较大的区域更不容易被弯曲。因此,通过以上结构设置,使得当承托板12(或柔性屏10)被折叠时,厚度较小的第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126更容易被弯曲,因此,能够对柔性屏10的折叠形态进行有效控制。在具体配置时,第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127的厚度可以相同也可以不同。另外,第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126的厚度可以相同也可以不同,本申请对此不作具体限定。
另外,在另一种实现方式中,第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127的材料密度可以大于第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126的材料密度。具体来说,当承托板12整体采用同一种材料制成,且在不同区域中,单位体积内材料的重量不同时;单位体积内材料的重量较小(即材料密度较小)的区域更容易被弯曲。相应的,单位体积内材料的重量较大(即材料密度较大)的区域更不容易被弯曲。因此,通过以上结构设置,使得当承托板12(或柔性屏10)被折叠时,材料密度较小的第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126更容易被弯曲,因此,能够对柔性屏10的折叠形态进行有效控制。在具体配置时,第一固定部121、第一连接部123、第二连接部125和第二固定部127的材料密度可以相同也可以不同。另外,第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126的材料密度可以相同也可以不同,本申请对此不作具体限定。
另外,如图4所示,在另一种实现方式中,可以在第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126中可以设置通孔128。以第一弯折部122为例,在第一弯折部122设置贯穿承托板12的上、下板面的通孔128后,会降低该区域的刚性,当承托板12被弯曲时,设置有通孔128的区域更容易产生弯曲形变。相应的,在主弯折部124和第二弯折部126设置通孔128,同样能够降低该设置通孔128区域的刚性。因此,通过以上结构设置,使得当承托板12(或柔性屏10)被折叠时,设置有通孔128的第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126更容易被弯曲,因此,能够对柔性屏10的折叠形态进行有效控制。在具体配置时,在第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126中所设置的通孔128的大小、截面轮廓、数量、位置排布等参数可以相同也可以不同。
例如,以第一弯折部122为例。为了使得第一弯折部122能够被更好的弯曲,第一弯折部122设有多个通孔,且在第二方向上(图中由上到下的方向),多个通孔128由承托板12的一个边缘(图中的上边缘)排列至另一个边沿(图中的下边缘)。另外,为了使得第一弯折部122能够具备一定大小的弯曲区域,沿第一方向(图中由左到右的方向),设有多列该通孔128。在具体配置时,相邻两列的通孔128可以交错设置,以保证第一弯折部122的受力性能和耐疲劳度。相应的,在主弯折部124和第二弯折部126中,通孔128的位置排布也可以依照上述第一弯折部122中通孔128的位置排布进行设置。另外,考虑到在实际使用时,主弯折部124的弯折角度可能会比较大,因此,主弯折部124的区域可以大于第一弯折部122和第二弯折部126的区域。具体来说,在主弯折部124,可以设置更多列(图中示出有13列)通孔128;在第一弯折部122可以设置较少列(图中示出有4列)通孔128,在第二弯折部126也可以设置较少列(图中示出有4列)通孔128。其中,第一弯折部122和第二弯折部126所设置通孔128的列数可以相同也可以不同。另外,第一连接部123和第二连接部125可以关于主弯折部124对称设置也可以非对称设置。或者,可以理解的是,在第一方向上,第一连接部123的长度与第二连接部125可以相同也可以不同。相应的,第一弯折部122和第二弯折部126可以关于主弯折部124对称设置也可以非对称设置。或者,可以理解的是,在第一方向上,第一弯折部122所设置的通孔128的列数与第二弯折部126所设置的通孔128的列数可以相同也可以不同。相应的,第一固定部121和第二固定部127可以关于主弯折部124对称设置也可以非对称设置。或者,可以理解的是,在第一方向上,第一固定部121的长度与第二固定部127的长度可以相同也可以不同。
另外,在具体实施时,通孔128的截面轮廓可以是圆形、椭圆形或其他的形状。例如,在本申请提供的实施例中,通孔128的截面轮廓为长条状。另外,为了提升第一弯折部122、主弯折部124和第二弯折部126的可弯折性能,通孔128的截面轮廓的长度方向平行于第二方向(或垂直于第一方向)。
在具体配置时,如图3所示,承托板12可以通过粘结层13贴合在柔性显示面板11的背部。其中,粘结层13具体可以是双面胶,也可以是包含有聚氨酯、聚乙烯、聚丙烯等材质的胶层。在具体实施时,承托板12的形状轮廓、大小可以与柔性显示面板11的形状轮廓、大小可以相同也可以不同。例如,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,承托板12和柔性显示面板11是相同大小的矩形结构。承托板12的其中一个板面与柔性显示面板11的背部完全贴合,以提升承托板12和柔性显示面板11之间的连接强度和弯曲形变时的一致性。
另外,如图5所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种可折叠设备30,包括第一壳体31、第二壳体32、铰链20和上述的柔性屏(图中柔性屏只示出了承托板12的结构),第一壳体31和第二壳体32通过铰链20进行连接,以实现可折叠设备30的可折叠功能。承托板12的第一固定部121与第一壳体31固定连接,第二固定部127与第二壳体32固定连接。当第一壳体31和第二壳体32相对折叠或展开时,承托板12(或柔性屏)也能够随之被折叠或展开。
在具体实施时,承托板12的第一固定部121与第一壳体31固定连接具体可以是,第一固定部121可以通过粘结材料(如双面胶、聚氨酯、聚乙烯、聚丙烯等)固定贴合于第一壳体31。承托板12的第二固定部127与第二壳体32固定连接具体可以是,第二固定部 127可以通过粘结材料(如双面胶、聚氨酯、聚乙烯、聚丙烯等)固定贴合于第二壳体32。在另一些实施方式中,第一固定部121还可以采用焊接等方式与第一壳体31固定连接,第二固定部127也可以采用焊接等方式与第二壳体32固定连接。本申请对此不作具体限定。
在具体实施时,铰链20的结构、弯折形态可以是多样的。或者,柔性屏也可以与铰链20中的部分结构进行固定连接。
例如,如图6所示,本申请实施例提供了一种铰链20(其中铰链20的具体结构和运动原理可参照中国申请号为:201911286336.8、发明名称为“一种铰链和移动终端”的专利文件,因此,下述仅作简要说明)。概括来说,铰链20包括主体21和关于主体21对称设置的第一折叠组件22和第二折叠组件23,第一折叠组件22和第二折叠组件23能够相对于主体21相向或相背离转动,以实现铰链20的折叠功能。
如图7所示,第一折叠组件22可以包括:第一摆动连杆221、第一摆臂222(图中示出有两个)、第一从动臂223(图中示出有两个)和第一支撑板224(图7中未示出)。第一摆臂222的一端(图中的右端)与主体21转动连接,另一端(图中的左端)与第一摆动连杆221转动连接;第一从动臂223的一端(图中的右端)与主体21转动连接,另一端(图中的左端)与第一摆动连杆221滑动连接;其中,第一从动臂223和第一摆臂222在主体21上的旋转轴心相互平行且不重合,以使第一折叠组件22相对于主体21转动时能够产生长度变化。
第一支撑板224与第一摆动连杆221转动连接,且与第一从动臂223滑动连接;当第一折叠组件22相对于主体21转动时,第一支撑板224能够在第一从动臂223的驱动力下相对于第一摆动连杆221转动。
如图8所示,第二折叠组件23可以包括第二摆动连杆231、第二摆臂232(图中示出有两个)、第二从动臂233(图中示出有两个)和第二支撑板234(图8中未示出)。第二摆臂232的一端(图中的左端)与主体21转动连接,另一端(图中的右端)与第二摆动连杆231转动连接;第二从动臂233的一端(图中的左端)与主体21转动连接,另一端(图中的右端)与第二摆动连杆231滑动连接;其中,第二从动臂233和第二摆臂232在主体21上的旋转轴心相互平行且不重合,以使第二折叠组件23相对于主体21转动时能够产生长度变化。
第二支撑板234与第二摆动连杆131转动连接,且与第二从动臂233滑动连接;当第二折叠组件23相对于主体21转动时,第二支撑板234能够在第二从动臂233的驱动力下相对于第二摆动连杆231转动。
请结合参阅图9,铰链20被折叠的过程中,由于第一摆动连杆121会相对于第一从动臂123向外滑动,因此,第一从动臂123会驱动第一支撑板124相对于第一摆动连杆121顺时针旋转,以使第一支撑板124与主体21之间逐渐形成用于容纳柔性屏(的弯曲部分)的容纳空间。
可以理解的是,第一折叠组件22和第二折叠组件23可以相对于主体21对称设置,第二折叠组件23的基本结构组成和运动原理可以与第一折叠组件22相同,因此,第二折叠组件23的结构组成和运动原理可参照上述对于第一折叠组件22的描述,在此不作赘述。
下面将对第一折叠组件22中各组成部件之间的连接结构以及与主体21之间的连接结构作具体说明;第二折叠组件23中各组成部件之间的连接结构可参照对于第一折叠组件 22的描述。
如图10所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,第一摆臂222和主体21之间实现转动连接的具体方式可以为虚拟轴式。
具体来说,主体21可以包括相互扣合的外壳212和内壳211,外壳212中可以设置圆弧形凹陷部212a,内壳211中可以设置圆弧形凸起211a;外壳212和内壳211扣合固定后,圆弧形凹陷部212a和圆弧形凸起211a扣合形成圆弧形的第一圆弧槽213,也可以理解为圆弧形凹陷部212a和圆弧形凸起211a之间形成圆弧形的缝隙。第一摆臂222的一端设有第一圆弧轴2221,将第一圆弧轴2221装配在第一圆弧槽213内,便可实现第一摆臂222和主体21之间的转动连接。通过虚拟轴式的连接方式,可以将第一摆臂222和主体21之间的连接结构良好的隐藏在主体21内,从而有利于提升铰链20的一体性和使用体验。
在具体实施时,第一圆弧槽213可以为四分之一圆弧、三分之一圆弧等,第一圆弧轴2221可以是四分之一圆弧、三分之一圆弧等,本领域技术人员可根据实际需求对第一圆弧槽213和第一圆弧轴2221的具体参数作适应调整,本申请对此不作具体限定。
第二摆臂232和主体21之间实现转动连接的具体方式也可以为虚拟轴式。简单来说,外壳212中可以设置圆弧形凹陷部212b,内壳211中可以设置圆弧形凸起211b;外壳212和内壳211扣合固定后,圆弧形凹陷部212b和圆弧形凸起211b扣合形成圆弧形的第二圆弧槽214,也可以理解为圆弧形凹陷部212b和圆弧形凸起211b之间形成圆弧形的缝隙。第二摆臂232的一端设有第二圆弧轴2321,将第二圆弧轴2321装配在第二圆弧槽214内,便可实现第二摆臂232和主体21之间的转动连接。通过虚拟轴式的连接方式,可以将第二摆臂232和主体21之间的连接结构良好的隐藏在主体21内,从而有利于提升铰链20的一体性和使用体验。
另外,在一些实施方式中,第一摆臂222和主体21之间也可以采用销轴或者其他的方式实现转动连接。
例如,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,第一摆臂222和第一摆动连杆121之间实现转动连接的具体方式可以为销轴式。
具体来说,第一摆臂222的一端(图中图的左端)设有第一轴孔(图中未标示出),第一摆动连杆221的一端(图中的右端)设有第二轴孔(图中未标示出);销轴241穿设在第一轴孔和第二轴孔内,以实现第一摆臂222和第一摆动连杆221之间的转动连接。

具体来说,第二摆臂232的一端(图中图的右端)可以设有第三轴孔(图中未标示出),第二摆动连杆231的一端(图中的左端)设有第四轴孔(图中未标示出);销轴242穿设在第三轴孔和第四轴孔内,以实现第二摆臂232和第二摆动连杆231之间的转动连接。
在一些实施方式中,第一摆臂222与第一摆动连杆221之间也可以采用上述的虚拟轴式的连接方式实现转动连接,或者采用其他的方式实现转动连接,第二摆臂232与第二摆动连杆231之间也可以采用上述的虚拟轴式的连接方式实现转动连接,或者采用其他的方式实现转动连接,本申请对此不作具体限定。
在具体实施时,第一从动臂223与主体21之间可以采用上述的虚拟轴式、销轴式的连接方式实现转动连接,也可以采用其他的方式实现转动连接。
例如,请结合参阅图7,在本申请提供的实施例中,第一从动臂223和主体21之间采用销轴式的连接方式实现转动连接。具体来说,第一从动臂223的一端(图中的右端)设 有轴孔(图中未示出),固定在主体21内的销轴243穿设在第一从动臂223的轴孔内,以实现第一从动臂223和主体21之间的转动连接。
另外,如图11和图12所示,为了实现第一从动臂223和第一摆动连杆221之间的滑动连接。在本申请提供的实施例中,第一摆动连杆221中可以设有第一滑槽2212,第一从动臂223上可以设有第一滑轨2231,第一滑轨2231可滑动的设置在第一滑槽2212内,以实现第一从动臂223和第一摆动连杆221之间的滑动连接。
在具体实施时,第一滑槽2212也可以设置在第一从动臂223上,第一滑轨2231也可以设置在第一摆动连杆221上。另外,第一滑槽2212和第一滑轨2231的形状可以是多样的;例如,在本申请提供的实施例中,第一滑槽2212和第一滑轨2231的截面为十字形。在其他实施方式中,第一滑槽2212和第一滑轨2231的截面形状也可以为梯形、三角形等,本申请在此不作赘述。
另外,为了实现第二从动臂233和第二摆动连杆231之间的滑动连接。在本申请提供的实施例中,第二摆动连杆231中可以设有第二滑槽2312,第二从动臂(图中未示出)上可以设有第二滑轨(图中未示出),第二滑轨可滑动的设置在第二滑槽2312内,以实现第二从动臂和第二摆动连杆231之间的滑动连接。
在具体实施时,第二滑槽2312也可以设置在第二从动臂上,第二滑轨也可以设置在第二摆动连杆231上。另外,第二滑槽2312和第二滑轨的形状可以是多样的;例如,在本申请提供的实施例中,第二滑槽2312和第二滑轨的截面为十字形。在其他实施方式中,第二滑槽2312和第二滑轨的截面形状也可以为梯形、三角形等,本申请在此不作赘述。
另外,具体实施时,第一支撑板224与第一摆动连杆221之间也可以采用上述的虚拟轴式的连接方式实现转动连接,也可以采用销轴式的连接方式实现转动连接,或者采用其他的连接方式实现转动连接。
例如,如图12所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,第一支撑板224和第一摆动连杆221采用虚拟轴式的连接方式实现转动连接。具体来说,第一摆动连杆221上设有第三圆弧槽2213,第一支撑板224上设有与第三圆弧槽2213相吻合的第三圆弧轴2241,第三圆弧轴2241设置在第三圆弧槽2213内,以实现第一支撑板224和第一摆动连杆221之间的转动连接。
通过虚拟轴式的连接方式,可以对第三圆弧槽2213和第三圆弧轴2241进行良好的隐藏,防止外露,从而能够增加铰链20观感上的整体性。
在一些实施方式中,第一支撑板224和第一摆动连杆221之间也可以采用销轴式的连接方式实现转动连接,或者采用其他的连接方式实现转动连接,本申请对此不作具体限定。
在具体实施时,第二支撑板234和第二摆动连杆231也可以采用上述的虚拟轴式的连接方式实现转动连接。简单来说,第二摆动连杆231上可以设有与上述第三圆弧槽2213相同的结构,第二支撑板234上也可以设有与上述第三圆弧轴2241相同的结构,以实现第二支撑板234和第二摆动连杆231之间的转动连接。
铰链20在折叠过程中,为了使得第一支撑板224能够相对第一摆动连杆221转动,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,第一支撑板224与第一从动臂223滑动连接。
具体来说,如图12所示,第一支撑板224上设有第三滑槽2242,第一从动臂223上设有定位轴251,定位轴251可滑动的设置在第三滑槽2242内,当第一从动臂223和第一摆动连杆221之间产生相对滑动时,位于第一从动臂223上的定位轴251会抵推第三滑槽 2242的侧壁,使第一支撑板224绕第一摆动连杆221转动。
在具体实施时,第三滑槽2242可以是弧形槽、直线形槽、不规则曲线形槽等;在实际应用时,可以根据第一支撑板224的目标运动轨迹来调整第三滑槽2242的形状。
例如,请结合参阅图11,在本申请提供的实施例中,对铰链20进行折叠后,为了使得第一支撑板224、第二支撑板234与主体21(内壳211)之间能够围成容纳空间,第一支撑板224与第一摆动连杆221的左端转动连接(第三圆弧槽2213靠近第一摆动连杆221的左端设置)。在对铰链20进行折叠时,第一摆动连杆221沿顺时针方向转动,且沿第一从动臂223向外滑动,与此同时,定位轴241抵推第三滑槽2242的侧壁,并在第三滑槽2242内滑动,以使第一支撑板224相对于第一摆动连杆221沿顺时针方向旋转,从而能够在第一支撑板224和主体21(内壳211)之间逐渐形成容纳空间。另外,对铰链20进行展开时,第一摆动连杆221沿逆时针方向转动,且沿第一从动臂223向内滑动,与此同时,定位轴241抵推第三滑槽2242的侧壁,并在第三滑槽2242内滑动,以使第一支撑板224相对于第一摆动连杆221沿逆时针方向旋转,当铰链20被完全展开时,第一支撑板224的上表面与主体21(内壳211)的上表面平齐,从而可以为柔性屏提供平整的支撑面。
如图12所示,在具体实施时,第二折叠组件23的结构组成可以与第一折叠组件22的结构组成相同,且关于主体21对称设置;简单来说,第二支撑板234上可以设有第四滑槽2342,第二从动臂233上可以设有定位轴252,定位轴252可滑动的设置在第四滑槽2342内,当第二从动臂233和第二摆动连杆231之间产生相对滑动时,位于第二从动臂233上的定位轴252会抵推第四滑槽2342的侧壁,使第二支撑板234绕第二摆动连杆231转动。第二折叠组件23的运作原理可参照上述对于第一折叠组件22的相关描述,在此不作赘述。
另外,为了保证铰链20在折叠、展开过程中,第一折叠组件22和第二折叠组件23能够同步动作,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,铰链20中还可以包括同步组件,以实现第一折叠组件22和第二折叠组件23之间的同步反向转动(同步相向转动和同步背离转动)。
在具体实施时,同步组件的结构形式、与第一折叠组件22和第二折叠组件23之间的连接关系可以是多样的。
例如,如图13所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,同步组件可以包括齿轮结构,且与第一从动臂223和第二从动臂233传动连接。
具体来说,同步组件中包括相啮合的第一齿轮261和第二齿轮262,第一齿轮261固定在第一从动臂223一端(在一些实施方式中也可以在第一从动臂223的右端直接成型出齿轮结构),第二齿轮262固定在第二从动臂233的一端(在一些实施方式中也可以在第二从动臂233的左端直接成型出齿轮结构),第一齿轮261的轴心与第一从动臂223在主体21上的旋转轴心重合,第二齿轮262的轴心于第二从动臂233在主体21上的旋转轴心重合。第一齿轮261和第二齿轮262之间设有相啮合的从动齿轮263和从动齿轮264,从动齿轮263与第一齿轮261相啮合,从动齿轮164和第二齿轮162相啮合;即第一从动臂223和第二从动臂233之间通过第一齿轮261、第二齿轮262、从动齿轮263和从动齿轮264实现同步转动。
如图5所示,在具体实施时,承托板12的第一固定部121可以粘接在第一壳体21上,承托板12的第二固定部127可以粘接在第二壳体22上。由于在铰链20的折叠、展开过程中,其自身长度可以随着折叠角度的变化而伸长或缩短。因此,在可折叠设备30的折 叠、展开过程中,第一壳体21、铰链20和第二壳体22之间的连接长度会伸长或缩短,从而不会对承托板12(或柔性屏)造成挤压力和拉伸力。具体来说,当可折叠设备30被逐渐展开时,铰链20的长度会逐渐缩短,当可折叠设备30被完全展开(第一壳体21与第二壳体22之间的夹角为180°)后,铰链20的长度与承托板12中的弯曲部120的长度相同,同时,第一支撑板224、内壳211和第二支撑板234会形成平整的支撑面,从而能够对承托板12(或柔性屏)提供良好的支撑作用。
如图9所示,当可折叠设备30被逐渐折叠后,铰链20的长度会逐渐伸长,从而保证不会对承托板12的弯曲部120产生压缩的作用力,同时,第一支撑板224、内壳211和第二支撑板234会逐渐围成用于容纳弯曲部120的容纳空间(容纳空间的截面可以类似于水滴状),防止弯曲部120出现较大角度弯折,以避免折痕等不良现象的产生。
在一些实施方式中,承托板12还可以与第一支撑板224和第二支撑板234固定连接。在具体实施时,承托板12的第一连接部123可以粘接在第一支撑板224上,第二连接部125可以粘接在第二支撑板234上。由于在铰链20的折叠、展开过程中,第一支撑板224和第二支撑板234的不会对弯曲部120产生拉伸、压缩等不良影响,同时,还能有效对承托板12(或柔性屏)的形态进行较为有效的控制,从而有利于增加可折叠设备30的使用效果和稳定性。
可以理解的是,当可折叠设备30采用其他类型的铰链时,本申请提供的柔性屏10仍可以与可折叠设备30进行良好的匹配。
以上,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
