具体实施例
该申请实施例提供一种电子设备,示例性的,该电子设备为手机。该电子设备包括柔性折叠屏(也称“柔性显示屏”)和转轴机构100,柔性折叠屏通过转轴机构100实现转动折叠或打开。如图1、15所示,图1为本申请实施例中手机处于展开状态的示意图,示意出转轴机构100和中框200,未示意柔性折叠屏;图15为图1中手机处于折叠状态的示意图。
手机包括位于中部的转轴机构100,和位于转轴机构100两侧的中框200,柔性折叠屏支撑在两侧的中框200之上,转轴机构100包括转轴基座3(也称“转轴整体底座”)。本实施例中以转轴机构100的中轴线X为基准定义左、右,转轴机构100左、右两侧的中框200可以相对转轴基座3转动,从而带动柔性折叠屏折叠或展开,具体可以设置摆臂,摆臂一侧与转轴基座3转动连接,另一侧与中框200固定,由摆臂实现中框200与转轴基座3的转动连接,转轴基座3可以是整体式结构,也可拆分为多个零件,通过固定件(例如螺钉、铆 钉等)、点胶、焊接等方式固接。如图15所示,转轴机构100还包括设置在转轴基座3下方的轴盖4,以对转轴机构100的底部进行遮盖,其中,定义朝向柔性折叠屏的一侧为顶部,远离柔性折叠屏的一侧为底部。中框100的转动是相对转轴机构200,中框100与转轴基座3转动连接,轴盖4与转轴基座3相对位置不变,故也是相对轴盖4转动。
本实施例中手机的转轴机构100还包括同步机构1,同步机构1用于转轴机构100在折叠展开过程中使转轴机构100两侧的中框200相对于轴盖4或转轴基座3的转动夹角θ保持一致,转动夹角θ可参照图15理解。可以理解,由于制作或装配公差,两侧的中框200在旋转过程中,转动夹角θ可能存在一定的角度偏差。通常,上述角度偏差的范围可以是0°~20°,在该角度偏差范围内,仍可视为转动夹角保持一致。
本实施例中的同步机构1可参照图2-5,图2为图1中同步机构1和转轴基座3配合的示意图;图3为图2中A位置的放大图;图4为图3中同步机构1的示意图;图5为图4中同步机构1的爆炸图。
同步机构1包括左摆臂(或定义为第一摆臂111)、右摆臂(或定义为第二摆臂112)、左旋转轴(或定义为第一旋转轴121)、右旋转轴(或定义为第二旋转轴122)、底座(底座具体可以是图4中的旋转轴底座13)以及滑块14(或定义为传动滑块、同步块、滑块部)。
其中,旋转轴底座13作为同步机构1的基础,用于安装第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112、第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122以及滑块14,旋转轴底座13设置在轴盖4和转轴基座3之间,本实施例中的旋转轴底座13安装于转轴基座3,如图5所示,图5中示意出用于和转轴基座3连接的螺栓15,底座也可以固定于轴盖4,可以理解,底座也可以是转轴基座3或者轴盖4的一部分,例如一体设置于转轴基座3或轴盖4。图1、2中,可看出该手机的转轴机构100共设置两组沿转轴机构100长度方向布置的同步机构1,相应地设置两个旋转轴底座13,以安装每组同步机构1中的第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112、第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122、滑块14等部件,可知,设置一个旋转轴底座13以满足两组或者更多组的同步机构1的部件安装也可以。
同步机构1的第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122设于旋转轴底座13,第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122可以固定连接于旋转轴底座13,也可以转动 连接于旋转轴底座13,转动轴线与第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112的转动轴线保持一致即可。如图4、5所示,第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122通过旋转轴底座13约束,旋转轴底座13的左、右侧在长度方向的两端均设有套筒,可定义为第三套筒13a,旋转轴底座13的长度方向和转轴基座3的长度方向一致,即在旋转轴底座13的四个角部区域分别设置有第三套筒13a,这样,第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122可以沿各自的长度方向或者说沿各自的轴向分别插入旋转轴底座13对应侧的两个第三套筒13a内。继续参考图4,第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122的两个端部均穿出对应侧的第三套筒13a,可沿轴向限位于第三套筒13a,即仅能相对第三套筒13a转动,限位的具体方式例如是在旋转轴的端部设置限位部件,限位部件例如是锁紧螺母、锁紧盖等,抵接在第三套筒13a的端面即可,图5中第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122的一个端部为L型,由另一端部贯穿相应侧的两个第三套筒13a,L型的端部可以抵接在第三套筒13a的端面,从而形成限位,与L型的端部相对的另一个端部可以设置限位部件,或者L型的端部抵接到其他部件上以形成轴向的限位,则另一个端部无需设置限位部件,变于装配操作。
如图4所示,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112在旋转轴底座13的中轴线左、右两侧对称布置,旋转轴底座13a的中轴线和转轴机构100的中轴线同轴。另外,第一摆臂111可以绕第一旋转轴121转动,第二摆臂112可以绕第二旋转轴122转动。此外,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112分别与两侧的中框200连接,如前所述,可以设置与中框200固定的摆臂,以和转轴基座3实现转动连接,此时的第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112可以是与中框200固定连接的摆臂;也可定义与转轴基座3转动连接的摆臂为主摆臂,主摆臂与中框200固定连接,而第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112为副摆臂,副摆臂与中框200可移动地连接,具体是副摆臂相对主摆臂滑动连接,图4中第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112均设有长孔11d,可以在主摆臂上设置插入该长孔11d的轴部,轴部轴向限位于主摆臂,即第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112间接地连接到中框200,中框200和主摆臂在转动过程中,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112相应地会转动并会和轴部发生沿长孔11d长度方向的滑动。
本实施例中同步机构的第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112与中框200的具体连接方式不做限制,只要第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112与中框200具有直接或间 接的连接关系,当第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112分别绕第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122旋转时,相应地带动中框200转动,或者中框200转动时相应地带动对应侧的摆臂转动,即具有转动的联动效应即可。
上述的同步机构还设有滑块14,滑块14沿平行于第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112转动的轴线方向滑动设置。本实施例中主要利用滑块14和第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112的相互配合实现两侧中框200的同步转动控制。
结合图6-8理解,图6为图4中同步机构的俯视图,并示出X、Y向;图7为图5中滑块14的示意图;图8为图5中第一摆臂111的结构示意图。
滑块14在沿第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112转动连接的轴线方向设置有滑动约束,图5中示意出的Y向即第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112转动的轴线方向,即设置滑动约束的滑块14仅可相对旋转轴底座13在Y向上滑动移动。具体在本实施例中,如图7所示,滑块14的两侧的上、下端均设有套筒,可定义为第一套筒14a,上、下端即沿Y向的两端。如图4所示,第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122分别穿过滑块14左、右侧的两个第一套筒14a,以形成滑动约束,即滑块14仅可沿第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的轴线方向自由移动,如图6所示,滑块14仅可沿Y向移动。
如图8所示,以图8标注的上、下方向进行描述,上、下方向也是滑动方向,第一摆臂111以及第二摆臂112的上、下端也设有套筒,可定义为第二套筒11a,第一旋转轴121也穿过第一摆臂111的两个第二套筒11a,第二旋转轴112穿过第二摆臂112的两个第二套筒11a。可见,第一旋转轴121依次穿过旋转轴底座13上端的第三套筒13a、第一摆臂111上端的第二套筒11a、滑块14上端的第一套筒14a、滑块14下端的第一套筒14a、第一摆臂111下端的第二套筒11a、旋转轴底座13下端的第三套筒13a。图8中,一个第二套筒11a一个端部的一部分沿轴向延伸形成第一限位部11a1,也可参考图5理解,旋转轴底座13与之对应的第三套筒13a的一个端部的一部分沿轴向延伸形成第二限位部13a1,第一限位部11a1和第二限位部13a1都是小于半圆的弧形板,这样,当第二套筒11a和第三套筒13a沿轴向对接后,如果第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112相对旋转轴底座13转动并且转动到一定幅度时,第一限位部11a1和第二限位部13a1沿周向会抵接而限位,即用于限制第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112的摆动幅度,以避免过度转动,如图4所示,在完全展开状态下,第一 限位部11a1和第二限位部13a1处于抵接的状态,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112无法继续沿展开的方向转动。
另外,第二套筒11a的内孔可以是扁孔,即孔壁具有平面部,图5中第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴112的一端的周壁具有平面部,第一旋转轴121插入第二套筒11a后,二者的平面部相互配合,以限制二者的相对旋转,摆臂转动时带动相应的旋转轴转动。可知,旋转轴不随第二套筒11a转动也可以,第二套筒11a为圆孔,与旋转轴的圆柱段配合也是可行的方案。
本实施例中,滑块14左右两侧的第一套筒14a分别沿第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122滑动,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112也分别沿第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122转动,即滑块14滑动轴与摆臂的旋转轴同心,二者共用同一轴件,即共用第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122,则约束公差链少,同步性更好,并且可节省零件和空间。可知,滑块14与第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112不共用轴件也可以,比如在第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的内侧设置单独的轴件作为滑块14的滑动轴。需要说明,这里所述的套筒结构(包括第一套筒14a、第二套筒11a、第三套筒13a)主要是限制径向的移动,以进行Y向的滑动约束,因此,套筒并不限于是封闭的环状,也可以具有缺口,只要能够导向滑块沿Y向的滑动即可。实际上,滑块14沿第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的Y向滑动也不限于是设置第一套筒14a,比如,第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122设置出滑槽,滑块14的两侧设置出能够在滑槽中沿Y向滑动的滑台也可以。
以上描述了滑块14仅能相对旋转轴底座13沿Y向移动,请继续参考图7,滑块14的两侧沿旋转轴底座13的中线对称设有第二配合部,具体是凸出部14b(或定义为滑动部),即一侧的凸出部14b和另一侧的凸出部14b相对旋转轴底座13的中线对称设置,旋转轴底座13的中线平行于第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112的转动轴线,且与两个转动轴线的间距相等。凸出部14b可以是螺旋状的凸出部14b。第一摆臂111和第二摆臂朝向滑块14的一侧则分别设有第一配合部,第一摆臂111的第一配合部和第二摆臂112的第一配合部相对旋转轴底座13的中线对称设置。第一配合部具体是螺旋凹槽11b(或定义为螺旋滑槽),螺旋凹槽11b可以是沉槽,也可以是通槽,如图9所示,螺旋凹槽11b和螺旋形的凸出部14b配合。具体地,图8中,第一摆臂111的两端为第二套 筒11a,中部设有突起11c,突起11c也为套筒结构,供第一旋转轴121贯穿,再如图4所示,第一旋转轴121依次穿过旋转轴底座13上端的第三套筒13a、第一摆臂111上端的第二套筒11a、滑块14上端的第一套筒14a、第一摆臂111中部的突起11c、滑块14下端的第一套筒14a、第一摆臂111下端的第二套筒11a、旋转轴底座13下端的第三套筒13a,第二旋转轴122参照理解,该结构非常节约空间,紧凑。
螺旋凹槽11b设置在第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112的突起11c上,突起11c和两端的第二套筒11a之间形成容纳空间,滑块14左侧两端的第一套筒14a位于第一摆臂111两端对应的容纳空间内,且滑块14的第一套筒14a沿Y向的长度小于容纳空间沿Y向的长度,这样可允许滑块14沿Y向移动,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112对称布置,第二摆臂112与滑块14右侧的配合方式可参照前述第一摆臂111与滑块14左侧的配合方式理解。
再结合图5、6理解,滑块14左侧的凸出部14b插入于第一摆臂111的螺旋凹槽11b,滑块14右侧的凸出部14b插入于第二摆臂112的螺旋凹槽11b,当第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112绕各自的旋转轴转动时,螺旋凹槽11b随之转动,相应地会作用于螺旋形的凸出部14b,以带动滑块14沿Y向移动,滑块14移动时又会反向作用于螺旋凹槽11b,带动相应侧的第一摆臂111或第二摆臂112转动,从而保证两侧第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112的同步摆动,也就保证两侧中框200同步摆动,使得两侧中框200的转动夹角保持一致。此方案通过设置滑块与旋转摆臂机构通过凸出部和螺旋凹槽滑动配合,实现同步功能,相较于齿轮组的同步结构,可实现折叠屏等电子设备小尺寸要求下的同步机构尺寸进一步减小、零件数量精简,同时具有同步传动稳定、虚位量小的优势。
需要说明的是,该实施例中第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112在转动过程中,凸出部14b始终可以和螺旋凹槽11b的两侧槽侧壁11b2沿轴向抵接配合,由此形成滑块14滑动和摆臂转动的联动效应。可见,根据该原理,第一配合部并不限于是螺旋形的槽,只要转动过程中,槽的侧壁可以和凸出部14b沿轴向抵接配合即可,槽可以是直槽或者曲线槽。当然,螺旋凹槽11b与凸出部14b配合时,可保证滑块14、摆臂都可以更为稳定地动作。
本申请实施例中滑块14的第一套筒14a可以与第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122直接套合使用,滑块14无需增加其他滑动约束件,进一步减少了零 件数量,同时也缩小了公差连,可减小同步虚位。
进一步的,滑块14上的滑动约束设置在滑块14的角部区域,如图7所示,滑块14包括大致呈矩形的主体部14d,四个第一套筒14a悬设在主体部14d的两侧的两端,这样使得滑动约束之间X\Y向距离均尽量远,目的是减小滑块14在沿Y向滑动时传导同步运动上发生的旋转,从而降低卡涩、第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112不同步的风险。可以理解,仅设置一个第一套筒14a或者更多的第一套筒14a都可以。另外,螺旋的凸出部14b设置在滑块14的中部,即位于两端的第一套筒14a之间,凸出部14b利用了两个第一套筒14a之间的空间,没有额外增加滑块14的尺寸,有利于同步机构1整体尺寸减小;对应的,在第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112上设置有滑块14的第一套筒14a滑动的容纳空间,保证滑块14沿Y向移动时不与第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112发生干涉。同理,第一摆臂111和第二摆臂112的螺旋凹槽11b部设置在滑块14的上、下第一套筒14a之间,滑块14和第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112共用轴线方向的空间,节省尺寸空间。
本实施例中,凸出部14b插入在螺旋凹槽11b中,二者的相互作用本质在于,螺旋凹槽11b随第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112转动时,螺旋凹槽11b正对凸出部14b的部分在Y向的位置会发生变化,则螺旋凹槽11b的槽侧壁11b2会推动凸出部14b,继而带动滑块14在Y向移动,反之,凸出部14b沿Y向移动时,则凸出部14b也会推动螺旋凹槽11b的槽侧壁11b2,螺旋凹槽11b需要转动以调整到相应的位置和凸出部14b保持插入的关系,因此,螺旋凹槽11b设置为螺旋状,但凸出部14b并不限于是螺旋状,也可以是非螺旋状结构,比如半球型、圆柱形等。只要凸出部14b插入到螺旋凹槽11b内,且凸出部14b沿轴向的壁能够与螺旋凹槽11b的槽侧壁接触并发生相互推动作用即可。为此,凸出部14b沿Y向的宽度和螺旋凹槽11b在Y向的宽度应该大致相等,凸出部14b的宽度可以略小于螺旋凹槽11b的宽度,这样既保证二者能够始终相互作用,又不会干扰二者的相对运动。
另外,需要说明的是,螺旋为连续结构,鉴于滑块14的滑动行程设计,图5中,螺旋凹槽11b仅为一小段螺旋结构,沿Y向投影,螺旋凹槽11b的投影可以是圆环形,也可以是圆弧形,凸出部14b同样是一小段螺旋状结构,故从图5中显示的螺旋趋势并不明显。当然,根据需求,可以设置螺旋的连续 长度更长的螺旋凹槽11b,凸出部14b也可以设计为螺旋的连续长度更长,与螺旋凹槽11b接触的面更大。
请继续参考图9、10,图9为图1中在同步机构1的凸出部14b位置沿X向的剖视图,未示意转轴基座3;图10为图9中滑块14位置的放大图。
如图10所示,滑块14的凸出部14b相对第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的轴心线(即轴线)对称设置,图10中,凸出部14b在厚度方向上朝向柔性折叠屏一侧的端面以及相反侧的端面,和第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的轴心线的距离均为h,即以图10为视角,滑块14的凸出部14b在厚度方向上的中心位与第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的轴心线处于同一高度或者说处于同一水平线,厚度方向即垂直于XY平面的方向。这样使得在第一摆臂111或第二摆臂112正反旋转时,施加到滑块14上的力是对称均等的,从而可减小滑块14卡涩的风险,而且也可以使正反转时手感力基本对称,以提升用户体验。可以理解,上述的处于同一高度并不要求理论上的完全高度相等,在满足设计需求的情况下,凸出部14b在厚度方向上的中心位与旋转轴的轴心线也可以存在高度上的偏差,偏差的范围可以是0~0.5mm,在该偏差范围内,仍可视为在同一高度上。
另外,如图7、8、10所示,凸出部14b朝向螺旋凹槽11b的表面14b1为与螺旋凹槽11b的槽底面11b1适配的螺旋曲面,这样可以更好地与螺旋凹槽11b呈螺旋曲面的槽底面11b1贴合,以更好地相互作用,提高传力的稳定性,相应地也就可以提高中框200转动过程中的稳定性。
再请看图11-13,图11为图1中在同步机构1的凸出部14b位置沿X向的剖视图,示意出轴盖;图12为图11中滑块14位置的放大图;图13为图1中同步机构1安装在旋转轴底座13和转轴基座3之间的立体示意图。
如前所述,手机包括支撑柔性折叠屏的转轴基座3,滑块14设置在旋转轴底座13和转轴基座3之间,并可在二者之间滑动,使得滑块14滑动的空间是在转轴机构100内部,不影响转轴基座3对柔性折叠屏屏幕的支撑,避免滑块14的滑动空间产生孔洞导致屏幕支撑性变差。而且转轴基座3将柔性折叠屏和同步机构1分开,避免折叠影响到同步机构1的运行和同步控制精度。
可以理解,滑块14也不限于设置在转轴基座3和旋转轴底座13之间,例如也可以设置旋转轴底座13和轴盖4之间,可以根据第一摆臂111、第二摆 臂112与旋转轴底座13的转动连接位置以及轴盖4和旋转轴底座13之间的空间尺寸等因素选择滑块14的具体位置。
以上滑块14设置的沿旋转轴底座13进行Y向滑动的滑动约束为第一套筒14a,第一套筒14a和第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122的套合实现Y向的约束,可知,并不限于此。如图7、13所示,滑块14朝向旋转轴底座13的底部设有凹槽14c,旋转轴底座13可沿Y向插入凹槽14c中,旋转轴底座13可以作为滑轨,滑块14可直接沿旋转轴底座13进行滑动,图13中,滑块14的顶部由转轴基座3进行限位,则滑块14的凹槽14c也为形成相对旋转轴底座13Y向滑动的滑动约束。本实施例中,滑块14设置的第一套筒14a与第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122套合形成一处滑动约束,滑块14还设置凹槽14c和旋转轴底座13滑动配合形成另一处滑动约束,从而保证滑动约束的效果,确保滑块14仅沿Y向移动。可知,此两处滑动约束仅设置其一也可以达到限制滑块14相对旋转轴底座13沿Y向移动的目的。
另外,如图14所示,图14为滑块14设置出燕尾槽以与旋转轴底座13配合的示意图。
进一步地,滑块14与旋转轴底座13之间可以设置成燕尾槽结构,即滑块14底部设置的凹槽14c为燕尾槽,旋转轴底座13顶部的左、右两侧相应地设置出凸起13b,与燕尾槽的形状匹配,这样进一步增加了滑块14在图14视角下厚度方向上的约束,即防止旋转轴底座13和滑块14在垂直于XY平面的方向脱离,进一步限制旋转自由度,滑动约束更为可靠,从而减小同步机构1控制过程中虚位量的产生,有利于提高同步控制精度。当然,根据实际产品的需求,可以调整滑动约束的具体位置、数量等。可以理解,在旋转轴底座13上设置凹槽,滑块14设置出沿凹槽滑动的滑台结构也可以。
另外,上述同步机构1的第一旋转轴121和第二旋转轴122连接在旋转轴底座13上,可知,直接安装在转轴基座3也是可以的,实际上,也可以不设置旋转轴底座13,本实施例主要是实现滑块14沿Y向滑动,第一旋转轴121、第二旋转轴122、第一摆臂111、第二摆臂112均可以直接设置到转轴基座3的底部,或者都安装在轴盖4,这里设置旋转轴底座13,位于轴盖4和转轴基座3之间,便于加工布置,结构较为紧凑,且旋转轴底座13可以支撑滑块14,滑块14还可以设置凹槽14c以沿旋转轴底座13滑动,使得滑块14的滑动较 为稳定。
上述实施例主要针对折叠屏手机进行说明,可知,不限于折叠屏手机,也可以是其他电子设备,不仅仅可应用于具有折叠屏的电子设备,只要电子设备具有相对同步转动的需求,都可以采用该种方案,比如电子设备可以是平板电脑,笔记本电脑,还可以是可穿戴设备、车载设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)/虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、超级移动个人计算机(ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、上网本、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)等移动终端,或者,也可以是数码相机、单反相机/微单相机、运动摄像机、云台相机、无人机等专业的拍摄设备等。
