本申请所示可折叠机构中,柔性支撑板直接安装于第一压板摆臂,而不需要采用弹簧将柔性支撑板安装于基座,精简了可折叠机构的部件数量,不仅简化了可折叠机构的组装工艺,有利于提高可折叠机构的组装精度,还简化了可折叠机构的结构,使得可折叠机构的结构简单。在可折叠机构应用于可折叠终端时,有利于实现可折叠终端的轻量化设计。而且,柔性支撑板的局部厚度可以做到很薄,还有助于实现可折叠机构的轻薄化设计。
一种实施方式中,第一压板摆臂有四个,四个第一压板摆臂彼此间隔排布,以保证压板组件与基座之间的装配稳定性。
一种实施方式中,第一压板摆臂的转动部滑动且转动连接基座,以实现第一压板摆臂与基座的滑动且转动连接。第一压板摆臂相对基座转动时,会与基座产生相对位移,第一压板摆臂产生的位移与柔性支撑板因发生弯折而产生的尺寸变化相匹配,保证柔性支撑板平整,避免柔性支撑板产生褶皱。
一种实施方式中,可折叠机构的压板组件还包括第二压板摆臂,第二压板摆臂的转动部转动连接基座,以实现第二压板摆臂与基座之间的转动连接。柔性支撑板还安装于第二压板摆臂,且可在第二压板摆臂的带动下发生弯折,所以柔性支撑板的弯折方向还平行于第二压板摆臂相对基座的旋转中心。
本申请所示可折叠机构中,柔性支撑板直接安装于第一压板摆臂和第二压板摆臂,而不需要采用弹簧将柔性支撑板安装于基座,精简了可折叠机构的部件数量,不仅简化了可折叠机构的组装工艺,有利于提高可折叠机构的组装精度,还简化了可折叠机构的结构,使得可折叠机构的结构简单。在可折叠机构应用于可折叠终端时,有利于实现可折叠终端的轻量化设计。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
请参阅图1和图2,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种可折叠终端1000在一种状态下的结构示意图,图2是图1所示可折叠终端1000在第二种状态下的结构示意图。
可折叠终端1000可以为手机、平板电脑、个人计算机、多媒体播放器、电子书阅读器、笔记本电脑、车载设备或可穿戴设备等可折叠的电子产品。本实施例中,可折叠终端1000为可折叠手机。即,可折叠终端1000为可以在折叠状态和展开状态之间切换的手机。
其中,为了便于描述,定义所示可折叠终端1000的长度方向为X轴方向,可折叠终端1000的长度方向为Y轴方向,可折叠终端1000的厚度方向为Z轴方向,X轴方向、Y轴方向和Z轴方向两两相互垂直。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所提及的平行和垂直等关于相对位置关系的限定词,均是针对当前工艺水平而言的,而不是数学意义上绝对的严格的定义,允许存在少量偏差,近似于平行和近似于垂直均可以。例如,A与B平行,是指A与B之间平行或者近似于平行,A与B之间的夹角在0度~10度之间均可。例如,A与B垂直,是指A与B之间垂直或者近似于垂直,A与B之间的夹角在80度~100度之间均可。
本实施例中,可折叠终端1000的转动轴线的延伸方向为Y轴方向。即,可折叠终端1000能够绕Y轴方向相对展开或相对折叠。其中,图1所示可折叠终端1000处于折叠状态,可折叠终端1000沿X轴方向上的尺寸较小,可折叠终端1000便于携带。图2所示可折叠终端1000处于展开状态,可折叠终端1000沿X轴方向上的尺寸较大,可折叠终端1000具有较大的显示面积。示例性的,图2所示可折叠终端1000的展开角度α为180度。即,图2所示可折叠终端1000处于展平状态。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例举例说明的角度均允许存在少许偏差。例如,图2所示可折叠终端1000的展开角度α为180度是指,α可以为180度,也可以大约为180度,比如170度、175度、185度和190度等。后文中举例说明的角度可做相同理解。
应当理解的是,本申请实施例所示可折叠终端1000为可发生一次折叠的终端。在其他一些实施例中,可折叠终端1000也可以为可发生多次(两次以上)折叠的终端。此时,可折叠终端1000可以包括多个部分,相邻两个部分可相对靠近折叠至可折叠终端1000处于折叠状态,相邻两个部分也可相对远离展开至可折叠终端1000处于展开状态。
请一并参阅图3,图3是图2所示可折叠终端1000的分解结构示意图。
可折叠终端1000包括可折叠装置100和显示屏200,显示屏200安装于可折叠装置100。显示屏200包括背离可折叠装置100的显示面(图未标),显示面用以显示文字、图像或视频等信息。本实施例中,显示屏200包括第一显示部分210、第二显示部分220和可折叠部分230,可折叠部分230连接于第一显示部分210和第二显示部分220之间。其中,可 折叠部分230可绕Y轴方向发生弯折。
如图1所示,可折叠终端1000处于折叠状态时,第一显示部分210和第二显示部分220相对设置,可折叠部分230发生弯折。此时,显示屏200处于折叠状态,显示屏200的外露面积比较少,可大大降低显示屏200被损坏的概率,实现对显示屏200的有效保护。如图2所示,可折叠终端1000处于展开状态时,第一显示部分210和第二显示部分220相对展开,可折叠部分230不发生弯折而展平。此时,第一显示部分210、第二显示部分220和可折叠部分230之间的夹角均为α,显示屏200具有大面积的显示区域,实现可折叠终端1000的大屏显示,提高用户的使用体验。
应当理解的是,本申请实施例所示可折叠终端1000采用向内折叠的方式进行折叠,处于折叠状态的可折叠终端1000的显示屏200位于可折叠装置100的内侧。在其他一些实施例中,可折叠终端1000也可以采用向外折叠的方式进行折叠,此时,处于折叠状态的可折叠终端1000的显示屏200位于可折叠装置100的外侧。
请一并参阅图4,图4是图3所示可折叠终端1000中可折叠装置100的分解结构示意图。
本实施例中,可折叠装置100包括第一壳体110、第二壳体120以及可折叠机构130,可折叠机构130连接于第一壳体110和第二壳体120之间,以实现第一壳体110和第二壳体120之间的转动连接。具体的,第一壳体110承载第一显示部分210,第二壳体120承载第二显示部分220。换言之,第一显示部分210安装于第一壳体110,第二显示部分220安装于第二壳体120。其中,可折叠机构130与可折叠部分230相对设置。
第一壳体110和第二壳体120可通过可折叠机构130相对转动,使得可折叠装置100在折叠状态和展开状态之间相互切换。具体的,第一壳体110和第二壳体120可相对转动至相对设置,以使可折叠装置100处于折叠状态,如图1所示。此时,可折叠机构130处于折叠状态。第一壳体110和第二壳体120也可相对转动至相对展开,以使可折叠装置100处于展开状态,如图2所示。此时,可折叠机构130处于展开状态。示例性的,图2所示可折叠终端1000处于展平状态,第一壳体110和第二壳体120之间的夹角为α。此时,可折叠机构130处于展平状态。
第一壳体110设有第一收容槽1101,第一收容槽1101位于第一壳体110朝向第二壳体120的一侧。第一收容槽1101的开口位于第一壳体110的顶面。第一收容槽1101自第一壳体110的顶面向底面的方向凹陷,且贯穿第一壳体110的右侧面。
第二壳体120和第一壳体110的结构相同,且相对可折叠机构130镜像对称。第二壳体120设有第二收容槽1201,第二收容槽1201位于第二壳体120朝向第一壳体110的一侧。第二收容槽1201的开口位于第二壳体120的顶面。第二收容槽1201自第二壳体120的顶面向底面的方向凹陷,且贯穿第二壳体120朝向第一壳体110的侧面。
可折叠装置100处于展平状态时,即第一壳体110和第二壳体120之间的夹角为α时,第一收容槽1101和第二收容槽1201围合形成收容空间1301。可折叠机构130安装于收容空间1301。其中,部分可折叠机构130安装于第一壳体110的第一收容槽1101,部分可折叠机构130安装于第二壳体120的第二收容槽1201。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例描述可折叠终端1000时所采用“顶”、“底”、“左”、“右”、 “前”和“后”等方位用词主要依据可折叠终端1000于附图2中的展示方位进行阐述,以朝向Z轴正方向为“顶”,以朝向Z轴负方向为“底”,以朝向X轴正方向为“右”,以朝向X轴负方向为“左”,以朝向Y轴正方向为“后”,以朝向Y轴负方向为“前”,其并不形成对可折叠终端1000于实际应用场景中的方位的限定。
现有的可折叠机构中,往往都采用浮板来实现对屏幕的支撑,浮板一般都采用弹簧安装于基座。浮板在弹簧的作用下相对基座下沉,并在摆臂的作用下相对基座上浮,可折叠机构中需要利用较多的部件来驱动浮板相对基座运动,使得可折叠机构组装复杂,而且容易出现组装精度差的问题,导致可折叠机构的结构复杂,不利于可折叠终端的轻量化设计。此外,还需要在浮板上进行开孔设计来避让各个摆臂,防止浮板与各个摆臂之间发生干涉的问题,无法实现对屏幕的完全支撑,屏幕极易出现凹痕,影响用户的使用体验。接下来,将对本申请实施例所示可折叠终端1000中可折叠机构130的结构进行描述。
请参阅图5和图6,图5是图4所示可折叠装置100中可折叠机构130的结构示意图,图6是图5所示可折叠机构130的分解结构示意图。

请参阅图19和图20,图19是图6所示可折叠机构130中柔性支撑板50的结构示意图,图20是图19所示柔性支撑板50在另一个角度下的结构示意图。
柔性支撑板50包括柔性支撑部51、第一固定部52和第二固定部53,第一固定部52和第二固定部53均固定连接于柔性支撑部51。其中,柔性支撑板50可为一体成型的结构件,以减少柔性支撑板50的零件数,不仅便于柔性支撑板50进行装配,还可以减少柔性支撑板50的制造成本。可以理解的是,柔性支撑板50的局部厚度可以做薄,可减小柔性 支撑板50的厚度,有助于减小可折叠机构130的厚度,实现可折叠机构130的轻薄化设计。
柔性支撑部51呈条形板状。柔性支撑部51沿Y轴方向延伸,且可绕Y轴方向发生弯折。柔性支撑部51设有多个条形槽511,每一条形槽511的开口均位于柔性支撑部51的底面,以保证柔性支撑部51的顶面的完整性。具体的,每一条形槽511的开口位于柔性支撑部51的底面的中间区域。条形槽511自柔性支撑部51的底面向顶面的方向(图示Z轴负方向)凹陷,且贯穿柔性支撑部51的前侧面和后侧面。沿X轴方向上,多个条形槽511平行且间隔排布。其中,条形槽511的延伸方向平行于Y轴方向,以增加柔性支撑部51的柔性,便于柔性支撑部51沿Y轴方向发生弯折。在其他一些实施例中,多个条形槽511的开口也可以位于柔性支撑部51的顶面。

压板组件40在折叠状态和展开状态之间相互切换时,第一压板摆臂43和第二压板摆臂44均相对基座10(如图7所示)转动,从而带动第一固定部52和第二固定部53相对基座10转动,进而带动柔性支撑部51发生相对折叠或相对展开。换言之,柔性支撑板50可在压板组件40的带动下发生相对折叠或相对展开。即,柔性支撑板50可在压板组件40的带动下在折叠状态和展开状态之间相互切换。
可以理解的是,第一压板摆臂43和第二压板摆臂44相对基座10转动时,均会与基座10产生相对位移。此时,第一压板摆臂43和第二压板摆臂44产生的位移,可与柔性支撑板50因发生弯折而产生的尺寸变化相匹配,保证柔性支撑板50保持平整状态,避免柔性支撑板50产生褶皱,提高可折叠机构130的使用可靠性。
请一并参阅图21和图22,图21是图5所示可折叠机构130沿I-I处剖开的剖面结构示意图,图22是图21所示可折叠机构130处于折叠状态下的结构示意图。其中,沿I-I处剖开是指沿I-I线所在平面剖开,本申请中类似的描述可做相同理解。
可折叠机构130处于展平状态时,压板组件40处于展平状态,第一压板41和第二压板42分别位于基座10的两侧,柔性支撑板50相对展平,第一压板41的顶面(即支撑部411的顶面)、第二压板42的顶面(即支撑部421的顶面)和柔性支撑板50的顶面(即柔性支撑部51的顶面)齐平,第一压板41的顶面、第二压板42的顶面和柔性支撑板50的顶面形成支撑面1302。
其中,第一前避让槽512a避让第一主摆臂23a的滑动部232a(如图11所示),第一后避让槽512b避让第一主摆臂23b的滑动部232b(如图13所示),第一中避让槽512c避让第一主摆臂23c的滑动部232c(如图15所示)。第二前避让槽513a避让第二主摆臂24a的 滑动部242a(如图11所示),第二后避让槽513b避让第二主摆臂24b的滑动部242b(如图13所示),第二中避让槽513c避让第二主摆臂24c的滑动部242c(如图15所示)。
第三前避让槽514a避让第一副摆臂25a的转动部251a(如图11所示),第三后避让槽514b避让第一副摆臂25b的转动部251b(如图13所示)。第四前避让槽515a避让第二副摆臂26a的转动部261a(如图11所示),第四后避让槽515b避让第二副摆臂26b的转动部261b(如图13所示)。
可以理解的是,在柔性支撑板50处于展平状态时,柔性支撑板50中各个避让槽的设置可避免柔性支撑板50与各个连接组件20中的摆臂发生干涉,使得柔性支撑部51不会被各个摆臂抵持而相对第一压板41的顶面和第二压板42的顶面凸出,保证柔性支撑板50的顶面与第一压板41的顶面和第二压板42的顶面齐平。
可折叠机构130处于折叠状态时,压板组件40处于折叠状态,第一压板41和第二压板42相对设置,柔性支撑板50发生弯折而相对折叠,第一固定架(如图11所示第一固定架21a、图13所示第一固定架21b和图15所示第一固定架21c)、第二固定架(如图11所示第二固定架22a、图13所示第二固定架22b和图15所示第二固定架22c)、第一压板41、第二压板42和柔性支撑板50围合形成避让空间1303。其中,避让空间1303的横截面呈“水滴状”。需要说明的是,避让空间1303的横截面是指沿X-Z面剖开后的截面。
其中,柔性支撑板50的底部收容于基座10的避让槽101(如图7所示)。可以理解的是,基座10中避让槽101的设计可避让柔性支撑板50的底部,避免基座10与柔性支撑板50之间发生干涉,以便于形成呈“水滴状”的避让空间1303。
请参阅图3、图23和图24,图23是图2所示可折叠终端1000的局部剖面结构示意图,图24是图3所示可折叠终端1000处于折叠状态下的结构示意图。其中,图23和图24所示可折叠终端1000仅示出了可折叠机构130和显示屏200的可折叠部分230。
具体的,第一固定架21a(如图11所示)、第一固定架21b(如图13所示)和第一固定架21c(如图15所示)固定连接于第一壳体110,第二固定架22a(如图11所示)、第二固定架22b(如图13所示)和第二固定架22c(如图15所示)固定连接于第二壳体120。示例性的,第一固定架21a、第一固定架21b和第一固定架21c可通过螺钉或者螺栓等紧固件与第一壳体110固定连接,第二固定架22a、第二固定架22b和第二固定架22c可通过螺钉或者螺栓等紧固件与第二壳体120固定连接。
此时,第一压板41、第二压板42和柔性支撑板50形成的支撑面1302可支撑显示屏200的可折叠部分230,不仅以保证显示屏200的良好显示,而且在可折叠部分230被触摸时,可折叠部分230不容易因外力触摸而发生损坏或者出现凹坑,提高显示屏200的使用可靠性。其中,支撑面1302可与第一壳体110的顶面以及第二壳体120的顶面齐平,以使第一压板41、第二压板42和柔性支撑板50可与第一壳体110和第二壳体120共同支撑显示屏200,实现展平态的可折叠装置100对显示屏200的有效支撑。
可以理解的是,由于柔性支撑板50没有开孔设计,柔性支撑板50的顶面为完整的平面,使得支撑面1302的面积较大,可较好的支撑可折叠部分230,提高了柔性支撑板50对可折叠部分230的支撑效果。
可折叠终端1000处于折叠状态时,显示屏200的可折叠部分230位于可折叠机构130 的内侧。具体的,可折叠部分230位于避让空间1303内。此时,可折叠机构130可避让可折叠部分230弯折时形成的R角,使得可折叠部分230不会出现较大角度弯折,避免显示屏200产生折痕等不良现场,有助于延长显示屏200的使用寿命。
本实施例所示可折叠终端1000所采用的可折叠机构130中,采用柔性支撑板50来支撑显示屏200,柔性支撑板50直接安装于第一压板摆臂43和第二压板摆臂44,不需要利用弹簧即可实现柔性支撑板50的装配,减少了可折叠机构130的部件数量,不仅简化了可折叠机构130的组装工艺,解决了组装精度较差的问题,还精简了可折叠机构130的结构,使得可折叠机构130的结构简单,有利于可折叠终端1000的轻量化设计。
以上描述,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;在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
