As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the electronic device shown in FIG. The electronic device 20 may include a first carrier 100, a second carrier 200 and a flexible screen assembly 300. The first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 are slidably connected so that the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 move in a direction close to each other or away from each other, so that they can be in the expanded state, the intermediate state, and the collapsed state. Switch. For the collapsed state, refer to Figures 1 and 2, that is, the state where the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 move relative to each other in a direction close to each other and finally form a state.

It can also be understood that the camera assembly in the embodiment of the present application is a rear camera of an electronic device, which can be used as a front camera of an electronic device.

The first carrier 100 may include a shielding portion 110, which can be switched between a transparent state and a non-transparent state. When the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 are in the collapsed state and the shielding portion 110 is in the non-transparent state, the shielding portion 110 can be switched between a transparent state and a non-transparent state. The part 110 can cover the part of the flexible screen assembly 300 located on the second side of the electronic device 20; when the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 are in a folded state, and the blocking part 110 is in a transparent state, the blocking part 110 can show The part of the flexible screen assembly 300 located on the second side of the electronic device 20 is for the user to use, for example, it can be used to display the image collected by the camera assembly 400.

When the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 move relative to each other in a direction close to or away from each other so that the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 are in an intermediate state, the flexible screen assembly 300 follows the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 The relative movement of the flexible screen assembly 300 makes a part of the flexible screen assembly 300 exposed to the outside of the shielding part 110, and the image collected by the camera assembly 400 can be displayed on the part of the flexible screen assembly 400 exposed to the outside of the shielding part 110.

It can be understood that when the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 move in directions away from or close to each other, a part of the flexible screen assembly 300 is exposed to the outside of the shielding portion 110, so that the flexible screen assembly 300 is located in the first position. Both the part on the side and the part exposed on the second side outside the shielding part 110 can display images. At this time, when the shielding portion 110 can be in a transparent state or a non-transparent state, if the shielding portion 110 is in a transparent state, the part of the flexible screen assembly 300 exposed to the outside of the shielding portion 110 and the part on the side of the shielding portion 110 are both The screen can be displayed. If the shielding portion 110 is in a non-transparent state, the part of the flexible screen assembly 300 exposed outside the shielding portion 110 is used to display the screen. At this time, the part on the side of the shielding portion 110 may not display the screen to save power .

It should be noted that the first carrier 100 may not include the shielding portion 110. When the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 are in the folded state or in the intermediate state, the flexible screen assembly 300 is directly located on the first side of the electronic device 20 The part of and the part of the flexible screen assembly 300 on the second side of the electronic device 20 are directly exposed to the outside.

As shown in Figs. 5-10, Fig. 6 is a partial exploded schematic diagram of the first carrier in the electronic device shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 7 is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of area A in the first carrier shown in Fig. 6, and Fig. 8 is Fig. 1 The partial schematic diagram of the partial structure of the second carrier in the electronic device shown in FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic device shown in FIG. 1 along the direction P1-P1, and FIG. 10 is an enlarged schematic diagram of the area B in the electronic device shown in FIG. . The first carrier 100 is provided with two first sliding grooves 120, one of the first sliding grooves 120 is located on one side of the first carrier 100, and the other first sliding groove 120 is located on the other side of the first carrier 100. It can be understood that the position of one side of the first carrier 100 and the other side of the first carrier 100 are opposite. It should be noted that the number of the first chute 120 opened by the first carrier 100 is not limited to two. It is also possible for the first carrier 100 to have only one first chute 120 on one side thereof. In the following, description is made by taking the first carrier 100 opening two first sliding grooves 120 as an example. The first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 can slide with each other through a sliding structure. For example, the sliding structure may include two sliding rails 210, one sliding rail 210 is arranged in one first sliding groove 120, one sliding rail 210 can move in one first sliding groove 120, and the other sliding rail 210 is arranged in another first sliding groove 120. One slide groove 120 and the other slide rail 210 can move in another first slide groove 120 to drive the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 to move relative to each other.

The electronic device 20 is also provided with a limiting structure to limit the sliding distance of the sliding rail 210, thereby limiting the relative sliding distance between the first carrier 100 and the second carrier 200 or the relative position between the two carriers. For example, the limiting structure may include a first magnetic member 510 and a second magnetic member 520, and the magnetism of the first magnetic member 510 is opposite to that of the second magnetic member 520, so that the first magnetic member 510 can be attracted to the second magnetic member 520 Together. The side of the first carrier 100 includes a groove wall and a groove bottom. The groove wall is arranged on the edge of the groove bottom to form a first chute 120. The groove bottom of the first chute 120 is provided with a first groove 121, and a first magnetic member 510 is arranged in the first groove 121, and the height of the first magnetic member 510 is less than or equal to the first groove 121, so as to prevent the first magnetic member 510 from protruding from the plane of the groove bottom, thereby affecting the sliding rail 210 in the first groove. Sliding in the chute 120. In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first magnetic member 510 may be flush with the outer surface of the groove bottom of the first sliding groove 120. The second magnetic member 520 is disposed on the sliding rail 210, and the second magnetic member 520 can cooperate with the first magnetic member 510 to be sucked together to limit the sliding distance of the sliding rail 210, thereby restricting the flexible screen assembly 300 from being exposed to the shielding portion 110 The external length can also keep the flexible screen assembly 300 in an intermediate state.

Wherein, in order to stabilize the movement of the sliding rail 210 in the first sliding groove 120, in the embodiment of the present application, a second groove 211 is excavated in the sliding rail 210, and the second magnetic member 520 is disposed in the second groove 211, Moreover, the height of the second magnetic member 520 is less than or equal to the depth of the second groove 211. It is understandable that when the second magnetic member 520 is disposed in the second groove 211, the outer surface of the second magnetic member 520 does not protrude from the outer surface of the slide rail 210, which is compared with the second magnetic member 520. The outer surface protrudes from the outer surface of the sliding rail 210, which can prevent the movement of the second magnetic member 520 from interfering with the sliding rail 210. In some embodiments, the outer surface of the second magnetic member 520 is flush with the outer surface of the sliding rail 210.

As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 10, the number of the first magnetic member 510 in the embodiment of the present application may be one, one first magnetic member 510 is provided at the free end of the side of the first carrier 100, and the second magnetic member 520 There may be multiple second magnetic members 520, and a plurality of second magnetic members 520 are arranged at intervals, and one first magnetic member 510 may be matched with different second magnetic members 520 respectively to limit the sliding rail 210 at different sliding positions.
