本申请要求于2021年05月27日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202110587683.5、发明名称为“一种转动机构、支撑装置和电子设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及电子设备技术领域,尤其涉及一种转动机构、支撑装置和电子设备。
背景技术
随着折叠屏技术的发展,具有折叠屏的电子设备已经成为热点技术。现有的折叠方式分为内折与外折,即屏幕折叠后处于内侧或外侧。外折的问题是屏幕处于暴露状态,容易被硬物刮伤。
针对现有的折叠屏,往往需要在支撑装置中间的弯折区域设置底座、门板、同步机构、升降板等部件,以使折叠屏的左右两部分同步旋转,并在展开状态与折叠状态之间变化。当折叠屏处于展开状态时,门板和升降板平齐,以使支撑于其上的折叠屏平整。当折叠屏处于折叠状态时,一方面,门板转动至相对于升降板呈一定倾斜角度,另一方面,升降板下沉,使得折叠屏的弯折部分被折叠成类似“水滴状”结构。这种“水滴状”折叠屏部分具有较大的内折角,从而有更高的可靠性和使用寿命。但是目前,这一类折叠屏电子设备内,用于驱动升降板下沉的升降机构结构复杂,在折叠屏处于展开状态时沿电子设备厚度方向的尺寸较大,因此不利于降低电子设备在展开状态时的厚度,从而不利于电子设备的薄型化设计。
发明内容
本申请的实施例提供一种转动机构、支撑装置和电子设备,能够减小升降机构在电子设备处于展开状态时,沿电子设备的厚度方向的尺寸,使得电子设备在展开状态时更轻薄。
为达到上述目的,本申请的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,本申请一些实施例提供一种转动机构,该转动机构包括底座、第一连接件、第二连接件、升降板、第一扭簧和第二扭簧。第一连接件借助第一转轴可转动连接于底座上,第一连接件用于连接第一壳体。第二连接件借助第二转轴可转动连接于底座上,第二连接件用于连接第二壳体。其中,第二转轴与第一转轴平行。升降板位于第一连接件与第二连接件之间。升降板具有贴合面,该贴合面用于贴合折叠屏的一部分。第一扭簧包括第一螺旋本体和第一扭臂。第一螺旋本体套设于第一转轴上,第一扭臂位于升降板远离贴合面的一侧,且第一扭臂的一端与第一螺旋本体的一端固定,第一扭臂的另一端沿第一方向可滑动连接于升降板上。第二扭簧包括第二螺旋本体和第二扭臂,第二螺旋本体套设于第二转轴上,第二扭臂位于升降板远离贴合面的一侧,且第二扭臂的一端与第二螺旋本体的一端固定,第二扭臂的另一端沿第一方向可滑动连接于升降板上。其中,第一方向与升降板平行并与第一转轴垂直。
第一连接件和第二连接件能够相对于底座在展开位置与折叠位置之间转动,第一 连接件和第二连接件在由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,可以带动第一扭臂和第二扭臂远离升降板的贴合面摆动,以带动升降板下沉,第一连接件和第二连接件在由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,可以带动第一扭臂和第二扭臂靠近升降板的贴合面摆动,以带动升降板上升。
本申请实施例提供的转动机构中,利用第一转轴和第二转轴的周围空间分别安装第一扭簧和第二扭簧,并通过第一扭簧和第二扭簧带动升降板下沉和上升运动,能够降低升降结构在电子设备在展开状态时的厚度方向上的占用高度,从而使得电子设备在展开状态时更轻薄。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一连接件固定于第一转轴上,底座上设有第一转动孔,第一转轴穿设于第一转动孔内,并能够在第一转动孔内转动。第二连接件固定于第二转轴上,底座上设有第二转动孔,第二转轴穿设于第二转动孔内并能够在第二转动孔内转动。此结构简单,容易实现。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一转轴上固定有第一齿轮,第一齿轮的中轴线与第一转轴的中轴线共线。第二转轴上固定有第二齿轮,该第二齿轮的中轴线与第二转轴的中轴线共线。第一齿轮与第二齿轮直径相等,第一齿轮与第二齿轮啮合传动,或者,第一齿轮与第二齿轮之间设有偶数个中间齿轮,该第一齿轮、该偶数个中间齿轮、该第二齿轮依次啮合传动。这样,通过第一齿轮与第二齿轮,或者通过第一齿轮、偶数个中间齿轮与第二齿轮可以驱动第一连接件和第二连接件沿相反方向同步转动。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,中间齿轮的数量为2个。这样,可以同时兼顾转动机构的高度和结构复杂度。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一螺旋本体套设于第一转轴上,第一转轴能够在第一螺旋本体内转动,第一螺旋本体的另一端固定于底座上。第二螺旋本体套设于第二转轴上,第二转轴能够在第二螺旋本体内转动,第二螺旋本体的另一端固定于底座上。转动机构还包括第一支撑臂和第二支撑臂。第一支撑臂和第二支撑臂均位于升降板远离贴合面的一侧,第一支撑臂的一端固定于第一转轴上,第一支撑臂的另一端向靠近第二转轴的方向延伸,第二支撑臂的一端固定于第二转轴上,第二支撑臂的另一端向靠近第一转轴的方向延伸。当第一连接件和第二连接件处于展开位置时,升降板支撑于第一支撑臂和第二支撑臂上,第一扭臂和第二扭臂处于向靠近贴合面的方向的摆动变形状态中。当第一连接件和第二连接件在由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,第一支撑臂和第二支撑臂远离贴合面摆动,第一扭臂和第二扭臂在自身弹性力作用下远离贴合面摆动。第一连接件和第二连接件在由折叠状态向展开状态转动时,可以通过第一支撑臂和第二支撑臂抬升升降板,以带动第一扭臂和第二扭臂靠近贴合面摆动。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,当第一连接件和第二连接件处于展开位置时,第一扭臂和第二扭臂向靠近贴合面的方向的摆动变形角度大于0°,且小于等于85°。一些实施例中,摆动变形角度为45°。这样,第一连接件和第二连接件在由展开位置向折叠位置转动角度时,升降板下沉至最低位置,之后,第一连接件和第二连接件继续旋转过程中,升降板不会继续下沉。这样,便于对升降板的下沉高度的控制。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,底座上设有轴套,轴套可转动套设于第一 转轴上,第一螺旋本体套设于轴套上。这样,第一螺旋本体通过轴套间接套设于第一转轴上,轴套与第一转轴之间的接触面较大,能够避免在相对转动时因出现应力集中而导致卡死。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,底座上设有限位槽,该限位槽沿平行于第一转轴的方向延伸,第三扭臂配合嵌设于限位槽内。由此实现了第三扭臂与底座的固定,无需复杂的焊接操作,可以提高转动机构的装配效率。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一转轴上设有第一扁位,第一支撑臂的一端设有扁位孔,第一支撑臂通过扁位孔配合套设于第一转轴上。这样,第一支撑臂与第一转轴的连接稳定性较优,且安装方便,能够降低转动机构的装配难度,提高转动机构的装配效率。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一扭臂上设有挂接部,升降板远离贴合面的表面设有挂钩,挂钩具有沿第一方向延伸的导向段,第一扭臂通过挂接部挂接于挂钩上并能够沿导向段滑动。由此实现了第一扭臂与升降板的可滑动连接,此结构简单,容易实现。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一螺旋本体包括第一螺旋部分和第二螺旋部分,第一螺旋部分和第二螺旋部分套设于第一转轴上,第一螺旋部分、第二螺旋部分沿第一转轴的长度方向间隔设置。第一螺旋部分靠近第二螺旋部分的一端为第一螺旋部分的第一端。第二螺旋部分靠近第一螺旋部分的一端为第二螺旋部分的第一端。第二螺旋部分远离第一螺旋部分的一端为第二螺旋部分的第二端。第一扭臂呈n型,第一扭臂的两端分别固定于第一螺旋部分的第一端与第二螺旋部分的第一端之间,第一扭臂的中部弯折部分形成所述挂接部。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一螺旋部分远离第二螺旋部分的一端为第一螺旋部分的第二端。第二螺旋部分远离第一螺旋部分的一端为第二螺旋部分的第二端。第一螺旋本体通过第一螺旋部分的第二端和第二螺旋部分的第二端固定于底座上。这样,第一扭簧呈对称设计,且第一扭簧可以通过第一螺旋部分的第二端和第二螺旋部分的第二端固定于底座上,能够保证第一扭簧与底座的连接稳定性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一螺旋本体固定套设于第一转轴上,第一扭臂位于第一转轴靠近第二转轴的一侧,第二螺旋本体固定套设于第二转轴上,第二扭臂位于第二转轴靠近第一转轴的一侧。第一连接件和第二连接件在由展开位置向折叠位置转动时,可以带动第一扭臂和第二扭臂远离升降板的贴合面摆动,第一连接件和第二连接件在由折叠位置向展开位置转动时,可以带动第一扭臂和第二扭臂靠近升降板的贴合面摆动。此结构组成简单,转动机构的成本较低。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,第一转轴上设有第二扁位,第一螺旋本体的内孔为扁位孔,第一螺旋本体通过内孔配合套设于第一转轴上。这样,第一扭簧与第一转轴的连接稳定性较优,且安装方便,能够降低转动机构的装配难度,提高转动机构的装配效率。
第二方面,本申请一些实施例提供一种支撑装置,该支撑装置包括第一壳体、第二壳体和如上任一技术方案所述的转动机构,该转动机构位于第一壳体与第二壳体之间,且转动机构的第一连接件与第一壳体连接,转动机构的第二连接件与第二壳体连 接。
由于本申请实施例提供的支撑装置包括如上任一技术方案所述的转动机构,因此二者能够解决相同的技术问题,并达到相同的效果。
第三方面,本申请一些实施例提供一种电子设备,该电子设备包括折叠屏和如上技术方案所述的支撑装置。折叠屏包括第一部分、第二部分和第三部分,第三部分位于第一部分与第二部分之间,且第一部分支撑并固定于第一壳体上,第二部分支撑并固定于第二壳体上,第三部分支撑于支撑装置的转动机构上。
由于本申请实施例提供的电子设备包括如上技术方案所述的支撑装置,因此二者能够解决相同的技术问题,并达到相同的效果。

折叠屏10能够在展开状态与折叠状态之间折叠。
请参阅图2,图2为图1所示电子设备100在折叠屏10处于展开状态时的结构示意图。当折叠屏10处于展开状态时,第一部分11、第二部分12和第三部分13共平面设置,且朝向相同。在此状态下,能够实现大屏显示,可以给用户提供更丰富的信息,带给用户更好的使用体验。
请参阅图3,图3为图1所示电子设备100在折叠屏10处于折叠状态时的结构示意图。当折叠屏10处于折叠状态时,第三部分13处于折弯状态,第一部分(图中未示出)与第二部分(图中未示出)相对。折叠屏10对用户不可见,支撑装置20保护于折叠屏10外,以防止折叠屏10被硬物刮伤。
支撑装置20用于支撑折叠屏10,并允许折叠屏10在展开状态与折叠状态之间折叠。请参阅图4,图4为图1所示电子设备100中支撑装置20的立体图。在本实施例中,支撑装置20包括第一壳体21、第二壳体22和转动机构23。可以理解的是,图4仅示意性的示出了支撑装置20包括的一些部件,这些部件的实际形状、实际大小、实 际位置和实际构造不受图4的限制。
第一壳体21用于固定并支撑图1中折叠屏10的第一部分11。具体的,第一壳体21具有贴合面M1,第一壳体21用于通过贴合面M1固定并支撑图1中折叠屏10的第一部分11。
第二壳体22用于固定并支撑图1中折叠屏10的第二部分12。具体的,第二壳体22具有贴合面M2,第二壳体22用于通过贴合面M2固定并支撑图1中折叠屏10的第二部分12。
第一壳体21的内部形成第一容纳腔(图中未示出)。第二壳体22的内部形成第二容纳腔(图中未示出)。第一容纳腔和第二容纳腔用于容纳电子设备100的主板、电池、摄像头模组、扬声器、听筒等电子器件。
第一壳体21可以为一个结构整体,也可以由多个部分装配形成。同理的,第二壳体22可以为一个结构件整体,也可以由多个部分装配形成。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图5,图5为图4所示支撑装置20的爆炸图。第一壳体21包括第一中框211和第一背盖212。贴合面M1位于第一中框211上。第一背盖212固定于第一中框211背离贴合面M1的一侧。第一容纳腔形成于第一中框211与第一背盖212之间。
第二壳体22包括第二中框221和第二背盖222。贴合面M2位于第二中框221上。第二背盖222固定于第二中框221背离贴合面M2的一侧。第二容纳腔形成于第二中框221与第二背盖222之间。
转动机构23用于支撑折叠屏10的第三部分13。转动机构23连接于第一壳体21与第二壳体22之间,第一壳体21与第二壳体22通过转动机构23实现可转动连接。在一些实施例中,转动机构23连接于第一壳体21的第一中框211与第二壳体22的第二中框221之间。在其他实施例中,转动机构23也可以连接于第一壳体21的第一背盖212与第二壳体22的第二背盖222之间。
转动机构23的数量可以为一个,也可以为两个或者两个以上。图4和图5仅给出了转动机构23的数量为两个的示例,这并不能认为是对本申请构成的特殊限制。该两个转动机构23沿折叠屏10的折叠轴的长度方向间隔设置。
请参阅图6,图6为本申请一些实施例提供的转动机构23的结构示意图。在本实施例中,转动机构23包括底座231、第一连接件232、第一支撑臂233、第二连接件234、第二支撑臂235、升降板236和升降结构237。
第一连接件232借助第一转轴23a可转动连接于底座231上。第一连接件232用于与第一壳体21连接。第一支撑臂233与第一连接件232相对固定。
第二连接件234借助第二转轴23b可转动连接于底座231上。第一转轴23a与第二转轴23b平行设置。第二连接件234用于与第二壳体22连接。第二支撑臂235与第二连接件234相对固定。
升降板236位于第一连接件232与第二连接件234之间,且升降板236支撑于第一支撑臂233与第二支撑臂235上。升降板236具有贴合面M3,转动机构23用于通过贴合面M3支撑折叠屏10的第三部分13。贴合面M3与第一壳体21的贴合面M1、第二壳体22的贴合面M2共面设置或近似共面设置,且朝向相同。此时,第一连接件 232和第二连接件234所处的位置为展开位置。第一连接件232和第二连接件234能够在该展开位置与折叠位置之间转动。当第一连接件232和第二连接件234位于折叠位置时,贴合面M1与贴合面M2相面对,贴合面M1与贴合面M3之间以及贴合面M2与贴合面M3之间垂直或者近似垂直。
为了方便下文各实施例的描述,建立XYZ坐标系,定义转动机构23内第一转轴23a的延伸方向为Y轴方向,升降板236的厚度方向为Z轴方向,与升降板236平行并与第一转轴23a垂直的方向为X轴方向。可以理解的是,转动机构23的坐标系可以根据实际需要灵活设置,本申请仅给出了一种示例,并不能认为是对本申请构成的特殊限制。
升降结构237位于升降板236背离贴合面M3的一侧,升降结构237与升降板236连接。升降结构237用于向升降板236施加远离贴合面M3的驱动力。当第一连接件232和第二连接件234由展开位置向折叠位置旋转时,第一支撑臂233和第二支撑臂235对升降板236的支撑力逐渐撤销,该驱动力可以带动升降板236向远离贴合面M3的方向下沉,以避让折叠屏10。当第一连接件232和第二连接件234由折叠位置向展开位置旋转时,第一支撑臂233和第二支撑臂235对升降板236施加向上的支撑力,该支撑力能够克服驱动力,以将升降板236的贴合面M3抬升至与贴合面M1、贴合面M2平齐。
升降结构237的结构形式有多种。在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图6,升降结构237为螺旋弹簧。螺旋弹簧的一端连接于升降板236上,另一端连接于底座231上。螺旋弹簧处于伸长变形状态,以向升降板236施加远离贴合面M3的弹性力。该弹性力形成上述驱动力。在另一些实施例中,升降结构237包括磁铁(图中未示出)和导磁片(图中未示出)。磁铁和导磁片中的一个固定于升降板235上,磁铁和导磁片中的另一个固定于底座231上。磁铁与导磁片之间具有磁吸作用,以向升降板236施加远离贴合面M3的磁吸力。该磁吸力形成上述驱动力。该两种升降结构237在Z轴方向上的占用高度均较大,导致支撑装置20以及电子设备100在第一连接件232和第二连接件234处于展开位置时的厚度较大,不利于电子设备100的轻薄化设计。
为了减小电子设备100在第一连接件232和第二连接件234处于展开位置时的厚度,请参阅图7,图7为本申请又一些实施例提供的转动机构23在第一连接件232和第二连接件234处于展开位置时的主视图。在本实施例中,转动机构23包括底座231、第一连接件232、第一支撑臂233、第二连接件234、第二支撑臂235、升降板236和升降结构237。
可以理解的是,图7仅示意性的示出了转动机构23包括的一些部件,这些部件的实际形状、实际大小、实际位置和实际构造不受图7的限制。

在其他实施例中,第一连接件232上设有转动孔,第一连接件232通过该转动孔套设于第一转轴23a上,并能够绕第一转轴23a转动,第一转轴23a固定于底座231上。这样,当第一连接件232相对于底座231旋转时,第一转轴23a相对于底座231固定不动。
请返回参阅图7,第一连接件232用于与第一壳体21连接。具体的,第一连接件232可以与第一壳体21通过焊接、铆接、螺纹连接等方式固定在一起,也可以与第一壳体21可滑动或者可转动连接。第一连接件232可以与第一壳体21直接连接,也可以通过其他中间结构与第一壳体21间接连接。在图7所示的实施例中,第一连接件232通过螺纹连接、铆接、焊接等方式与第一壳体21直接固定连接。
同理的,第二连接件234借助第二转轴23b可转动连接于底座231上。第一转轴23a与第二转轴23b平行或者近似平行设置。
一些实施例中,第二连接件234固定于第二转轴23b上。可选的,第二连接件234上设有固定孔(图中未示出),第二连接件234通过该固定孔穿设于第二转轴23b上,并与第二转轴23b通过过盈配合、焊接、设置扁位等方式固定在一起。

在其他实施例中,第二连接件234上设有转动孔,第二连接件234通过该转动孔套设于第二转轴23b上并能够绕第二转轴23b转动,第二转轴23b固定于底座231上。这样,当第二连接件234相对于底座231旋转时,第二转轴23b相对于底座231固定不动。
请返回参阅图7,第二连接件234用于与第二壳体22连接。具体的,第二连接件234可以与第二壳体22通过焊接、铆接、螺纹连接等方式固定在一起,也可以与第二壳体22可滑动或者可转动连接。第二连接件234可以与第二壳体22直接连接,也可以通过其他中间结构与第二壳体22间接连接。在图7所示的实施例中,第二连接件234通过螺纹连接、铆接、焊接等方式与第二壳体22直接固定连接。
在本申请实施例中,第一转轴23a和第二转轴23b可以仅作为转轴使用,也可以用作驱动第一连接件232和第二连接件234同步运动的齿轮轴使用。在一些实施例中,请参阅图8和图9,第一转轴23a上固定有第一齿轮238。第一齿轮238的中轴线与第一转轴23a的中轴线共线。第二转轴23b上固定有第二齿轮239。第二齿轮239的中轴线与第二转轴23b的中轴线共线。第一齿轮238与第二齿轮239直径相等。第一齿轮238与第二齿轮239啮合传动。或者,第一齿轮238与第二齿轮239之间设有偶数个中间齿轮,第一齿轮238、该偶数个中间齿轮、第二齿轮239依次啮合传动。这样,通过第一齿轮238与第二齿轮239,或者通过第一齿轮238、偶数个中间齿轮与第二齿轮239可以驱动第一连接件232和第二连接件234沿相反方向同步转动。由此,能够驱动第一连接件232和第二连接件234同步运动。
在上述实施例中,中间齿轮的数量可以为2个、4个、6个等等,随着中间齿轮的数量的增多,中间齿轮的直径以及第一齿轮238的直径、第二齿轮239的直径可以设计得较小,以减小转动机构23在Z轴方向上的高度。但是,随着中间齿轮的数量的增多,转动机构23的结构复杂度也随之增加。因此,为了同时兼顾转动机构23的高度和结构复杂度,在一些实施例中,请参阅图10,图10本申请一些实施例提供的转动机构23中第一齿轮238、中间齿轮340和第二齿轮239的装配图,在本实施例中,中间齿轮340的数量为2个。
请返回参阅图7,升降板236位于第一连接件232与第二连接件234之间。升降板236具有贴合面M3,转动机构23用于通过贴合面M3支撑折叠屏10的第三部分13。贴合面M3与第一壳体21的贴合面M1、第二壳体22的贴合面M2共面设置且朝向相同。此时,第一连接件232和第二连接件234所处的位置为展开位置。第一连接件232和第二连接件234能够在该展开位置与折叠位置之间转动。如图15中的(b)所示,当第一连接件232和第二连接件234位于折叠位置时,贴合面M1与贴合面M2相面对,贴合面M1与贴合面M3之间以及贴合面M2与贴合面M3之间垂直或者近似垂直。

在另一些实施例中,请参阅图11,图11为图9所示转动机构23中第一扭簧2371与底座231的装配图。在本实施例中,底座231上设有轴套231c。轴套231c套设于第一转轴23a上,且第一转轴23a能够在轴套231c内转动。第一螺旋本体2371a套设于轴套231c上。这样,第一螺旋本体2371a通过轴套231c间接套设于第一转轴23a上,轴套231c与第一转轴23a之间的接触面较大,能够避免在相对转动时因出现应力集中而导致卡死。
请参阅图8和图9,第一扭臂2371b位于升降板236远离贴合面M3的一侧。第一扭臂2371b的一端与第一螺旋本体2371a的一端固定,第一扭臂2371b的另一端沿第一方向(也即是X轴方向)可滑动连接于升降板236上。
为了实现第一扭臂2371b与升降板236的可滑动连接,在一些实施例中,请参阅图12,图12为图9所示转动机构23中第一扭簧2371的结构示意图。第一扭簧2371的第一扭臂2371b上设有挂接部A。
为了形成挂接部A,一些实施例中,请继续参阅图12,第一螺旋本体2371a包括第一螺旋部分2371a1和第二螺旋部分2371a2。第一螺旋部分2371a1和第二螺旋部分2371a2套设于图9中的第一转轴23a上。第一螺旋部分2371a1、第二螺旋部分2371a2沿Y轴方向间隔设置。第一螺旋部分2371a1靠近第二螺旋部分2371a2的一端为第一螺旋部分2371a1的第一端。第二螺旋部分2371a2靠近第一螺旋部分2371a1的一端为第二螺旋部分2371a2的第一端。第一扭臂2371b呈n型。第一扭臂2371b的两端分别 固定于第一螺旋部分2371a1的第一端与第二螺旋部分2371a2的第一端之间。第一扭臂2371b的中部弯折部分形成挂接部A。
请参阅图13,图13为图9所示转动机构23中升降板236的结构示意图。升降板236远离贴合面M3的表面设有挂钩2361,该挂钩2361具有沿X轴方向延伸的导向段2361a。
请参阅图14,图14为图12所示第一扭簧2371与图13所示升降板236的装配图。第一扭臂2371b通过挂接部A挂接于挂钩2361上并能够沿导向段2361a滑动。由此实现了第一扭臂2371b与升降板236的可滑动连接。此结构简单,容易实现。
在其他实施例中,第一扭臂2371b与升降板236的可滑动连接方式也可以为滑块与滑槽的配合滑动连接方式,在此不做具体限定。
在上述实施例的基础上,第一螺旋本体2371a的另一端固定于底座231上。一些实施例中,请参阅图9和图12,第一扭簧2371还包括第三扭臂2371c。第三扭臂2371c形成第一螺旋本体2371a的另一端。第一螺旋本体2371a通过该第三扭臂2371c固定于底座231上。具体的,第三扭臂2371c在底座231上的固定方式有多种。示例的,第三扭臂2371c可以通过焊接方式固定于底座231上。又示例的,请参阅图11,底座231上设有限位槽231d。该限位槽231d沿平行于第一转轴23a的方向延伸,第三扭臂2371c配合嵌设于限位槽231d内。由此可阻止第一螺旋本体2371a相对于底座231转动,实现第一螺旋本体2371a与底座231的固定。此固定方式无需复杂的焊接操作,可以提高转动机构23的装配效率。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图12,第一螺旋部分2371a1远离第二螺旋部分2371a2的一端为第一螺旋部分2371a1的第二端。第二螺旋部分2371a2远离第一螺旋部分2371a1的一端为第二螺旋部分2371a2的第二端。第三扭臂2371c的数量为两个,两个第三扭臂2371c分别固定于第一螺旋部分2371a1的第二端和所述第二螺旋部分2371a2的第二端。第一螺旋本体2371a通过该两个第三扭臂2371c固定于底座231上。这样,第一扭簧2371呈对称设计,且第一螺旋本体2371a可以通过两个第三扭臂2371c固定于底座231(请参阅图11)上,能够保证第一螺旋本体2371a在底座231上的固定稳定性。
同理的,请参阅图9,第二扭簧2372包括第二螺旋本体2372a和第二扭臂2372b。
第二螺旋本体2372a套设于第二转轴23b上,第二转轴23b能够相对于第二螺旋本体2372a转动。可以理解的是,第二螺旋本体2372a与第二转轴23b的具体套设方式,可以参照上述第一螺旋本体2371a与第一转轴23a的套设方式实施,在此不做赘述。
第二扭臂2372b位于升降板236远离贴合面M3的一侧。第二扭臂2372b的一端与第二螺旋本体2372a的一端固定,第二扭臂2372b的另一端沿X轴方向可滑动连接于升降板236上。第二扭臂2372b与升降板236的可滑动连接方式可以参照上述第一扭臂2371b与升降板236的可滑动连接方式实施例,在此不做赘述。第二螺旋本体2372a的另一端固定于底座231上。在一些实施例中,第二扭簧2372还包括第四扭臂3272c。第四扭臂3272c形成第二螺旋本体3272a的另一端。第二螺旋本体2372a通过第四扭臂3272c固定于底座231上。其中,第四扭臂3272c与底座231的具体固定方式,可 以参照上述第三扭臂2371c与底座231的固定方式实施,在此不做赘述。
第一支撑臂233和第二支撑臂235均位于升降板236远离贴合面M3的一侧。
第一支撑臂233的一端固定于第一转轴32a上。示例的,第一支撑臂233可以焊接固定于第一转轴32a上。又示例的,请参阅图9,第一转轴23a的侧面设有第一扁位23a1。其中,“扁位”是指侧面采用铣削加工等方式加工形成的平面部位,具有扁位的轴也称扁位轴。与扁位轴对应的,孔的内壁也可以设置扁位,该具有扁位的孔也称为扁位孔。扁位孔与扁位轴配合可以阻止孔和轴相对转动。第一扁位23a1的数量可以为一个,也可以为多个。一些实施例中,第一扁位23a1的数量为两个,两个第一扁位23a1分别设置于第一转轴23a沿自身径向上的两端。在其他实施例中,第一扁位23a1的数量也可以为一个。第一支撑臂233上设有扁位孔233a,第一支撑臂233通过该扁位孔233a配合穿设于第一转轴23a上。由此阻止第一支撑臂233绕第一转轴32a转动,实现第一支撑臂233与第一转轴23a的相对位置固定。采用此固定方式,第一支撑臂233与第一转轴23a的连接稳定性较优,且安装方便,能够降低转动机构23的装配难度,提高转动机构23的装配效率。
第一支撑臂233的另一端向靠近第二转轴23b的方向延伸。
同理的,第二支撑臂235的一端固定于第二转轴23b上。具体的,第二支撑臂235与第二转轴23b的具体固定方式可以参照上述第一支撑臂233与第一转轴23a的固定方式实施,在此不做赘述。第二支撑臂235的另一端向靠近第一转轴23a的方向延伸。
请参阅图15,图15为图7所示转动机构23在第一连接件232和第二连接件234由展开位置向折叠位置旋转时的结构示意图。
图15中的(a)为转动机构23在第一连接件232和第二连接件234处于展开位置时的结构示意图。在此位置时,升降板236支撑于第一支撑臂233和第二支撑臂235上。第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b处于向靠近贴合面M3的方向的摆动变形状态中。请参阅图15中的(a),第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b的虚线所示位置为第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b在自由状态(也即是不受力的状态)下的位置。第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b的实线所示位置为:在第一连接件232和第二连接件234处于展开位置时,第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b所处的位置。该实线所示位置相比于虚线所示位置向靠近贴合面M3的方向摆动了一定角度θ。也即是,第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b处于向靠近贴合面M3的方向的摆动变形状态中。该摆动变形角度为θ。一些实施例中,θ大于0°,且小于或者等于85°。可选的,摆动变形角度θ为45°。这样,便于对升降板236的下沉高度的控制。
当第一连接件232和第二连接件234分别沿方向a1和方向a2向折叠位置旋转时,第一支撑臂233和第二支撑臂235分别沿方向d1和方向d2向远离贴合面M3的方向摆动。此时,升降板236失去支撑力,第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b在自身弹性力作用下分别沿方向b1和方向b2向远离贴合面M3的方向摆动。在摆动的同时,第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b分别相对于升降板236沿方向c1和方向c2滑动。由此可以带动升降板236沿方向d下沉运动。
当第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b摆动角度θ时,升降板236下沉至最低位置。之后,第一连接件232和第二连接件234继续旋转时,升降板236不会继续下沉。图 15中的(b)为转动机构23在第一连接件232和第二连接件234处于折叠位置时的结构示意图。在此位置,可以形成水滴状的折叠屏10,以增大折叠屏10的可靠性和使用寿命。
与上述过程相反的,当第一连接件232和第二连接件234由折叠位置向展开位置旋转时,第一连接件232和第二连接件234分别沿方向d1和方向d2的反方向摆动,在接触到升降板236之后的摆动过程中,可以顶起升降板236。同时,第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b向靠近贴合面M3的方向产生摆动变形。由此使得升降板236的贴合面M3与贴合面M1、贴合面M2平齐,从而使得支撑于其上的折叠屏10平整。
请参阅图16和图17,图16为本申请又一些实施例提供的转动机构23的立体图,图17为图16所示转动机构23的爆炸图。本实施例中未示出底座231。本实施例所示的转动机构23相比于图7-图9所示的转动机构23,区别点在于:转动机构23不包括第一支撑臂233和第二支撑臂235。第一螺旋本体2371a固定套设于第一转轴23a上,第二螺旋本体2372a固定套设于第二转轴23b上。第三扭臂2371c与第一连接件232固定连接,第四扭臂3272c与第二连接件234固定连接。在本实施例中,转动机构23也可以不包括该第三扭臂2371c和第四扭臂3272c。
在上述实施例中,第一螺旋本体2371a固定套设于第一转轴23a上,是指:第一螺旋本体2371a套设于第一转轴23a上,且第一螺旋本体2371a与第一转轴23a的相对位置固定,不能绕第一转轴23a转动。
在一些实施例中,第一螺旋本体2371a套设并通过焊点焊接的方式固定于第一转轴23a上。
在另一些实施例中,请参阅图18,图18为图17所示转动机构23中第一扭簧2371与第一转轴23a的装配图。在本实施例中,第一转轴23a上设有第二扁位23a2。第一螺旋本体2371a的内孔为扁位孔。第一螺旋本体2371a通过该内孔配合套设于第二扁位23a2所处的第一转轴部分上。这样,第一扭簧2371与第一转轴23a的连接稳定性较优,且安装方便,能够降低转动机构23的装配难度,提高转动机构23的装配效率。
同理的,第二螺旋本体2372a固定套设于第二转轴23b上,是指:第二螺旋本体2372a套设于第二转轴23b上,且第二螺旋本体2372a与第二转轴23b的相对位置固定,不能绕第二转轴23b转动。需要说明的是,第二螺旋本体2372a与第二转轴23b的具体固定方式,可以参照上述第一螺旋本体2371a与第一转轴23a的固定方式实施,在此不做赘述。
图16和图17所示的转动机构23相比于图7-图9所示的转动机构23,区别点还在于:请参阅图18,第一扭簧2371的数量和第二扭簧2372的数量均为两个。第一扭簧2371和第二扭簧2372的挂接部A均呈钩状。相应的,请参阅图19,图19为图17所示转动机构23中升降板236由下向上看时的结构示意图。升降板236上对应每个挂接部A的位置均设有挂钩2361。

与上述过程相反的,当第一连接件232和第二连接件234由折叠位置向展开位置旋转时,可以带动第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b分别沿方向b1的反方向和方向b2的反方向靠近升降板236的贴合面M3的方向摆动,在摆动的同时,第一扭臂2371b和第二扭臂2372b分别相对于升降板236沿方向c1的反方向和方向c2的反方向滑动,从而可以带动升降板236沿方向d的反方向抬升运动,以使升降板236的贴合面M3与贴合面M1、贴合面M2平齐,从而使得支撑于其上的折叠屏10平整。
本申请实施例提供的转动机构23中,利用第一转轴23a和第二转轴23b的周围空间分别安装第一扭簧2371和第二扭簧2372,并通过第一扭簧2371和第二扭簧2372带动升降板236下沉和上升运动,能够降低升降结构237在Z轴方向上的占用高度,从而使得电子设备在展开状态时更轻薄。
