第一方面,本申请提供一种转动机构,包括固定基座、第一摆臂、第二摆臂、第一限位件和第二限位件。固定基座设有第一滑槽和第二滑槽。其中,第一滑槽和第二滑槽的开口均位于固定基座的顶面。第一滑槽和第二滑槽均自固定基座的顶面向底面的方向凹陷。示例性的,第一滑槽和第二滑槽均为圆弧形槽。

本实施例所示转动组件10中,仅利用固定基座11、第一摆臂12和第二摆臂13即可实现转动机构130的转动,本实施例所示转动机构130的结构简单,有利于减少转动机构130的成本。而且,相比于现有的转动机构,第一摆臂12和第二摆臂13分别与固定基座11的第一滑槽111和第二滑槽112实现滑动,即采用单层滑槽即可实现转动组件10的转动,有利于减少固定基座11、第一摆臂12和第二摆臂13的厚度,本实施例所示转动组件10至少可以减少一层结构件的厚度(约为0.6mm),有利于实现转动组件10的轻薄化设计,进而有利于实现转动机构130的轻薄化设计。
