  • Publication number: 20240160249
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device may be a mobile phone, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, or another device. The electronic device in this application uses a design in which a base protrudes in a Y direction or is flush with a shaft cover, thereby improving structural rigidity. The base can effectively bear all or a part of impact force, thereby effectively ameliorating a problem that the shaft cover is deformed and a flexible screen is impacted, and improving shatter resistance of the entire electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20240147645
    Abstract: A rotating shaft mechanism, a support apparatus, and a foldable screen device, and relates to the field of foldable screen device technologies. The rotating shaft mechanism includes a rotating shaft base, a shaft cover, a first swing arm, and a first drive mechanism. The shaft cover is located on a back side of the rotating shaft base, the first swing arm is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft base, and the first swing arm can rotate between an unfolded position and a folded position relative to the rotating shaft base. The first drive mechanism is connected between the first swing arm and the shaft cover, and when rotating from the unfolded position to the folded position, the first swing arm drives, by using the first drive mechanism, the shaft cover to move toward the rotating shaft base.

  • Publication number: 20240129390
    Abstract: A rotating shaft assembly and an electronic device, where the rotating shaft assembly includes a panel and a rotatable support mechanism. The rotatable support mechanism includes a swing arm, a fixed structure, a limit part, and a support structure. The support structure is provided with a mounting plane, and the panel is fastened to the mounting plane; a first limit portion is formed on the swing arm; and the limit part is connected to the support structure, and a second limit portion is formed on the limit part. When the screen is in a folded state, the limit part is separated from the swing arm. When the screen is in an unfolded state, the second limit portion of the limit part can abut against the first limit portion of the swing arm, thereby implementing mutual constraint between the swing arm and the support structure.

  • Publication number: 20240080381
    Abstract: Disclosed are a rotating shaft mechanism and a foldable mobile terminal. The rotating shaft mechanism provided in the embodiments of this application is mainly applied to a foldable mobile terminal, so as to implement unfolding and folding of two main body parts of the foldable mobile terminal. When the elastic support member is in a compressed state, at least some segments of the first part and the second part overlap in a floating direction, and the second part provides a compressed deformation space for a part or all of the first part. In this way, a height of the elastic support member in overall compression and deformation is reduced, and an ultra-thin design requirement of the foldable mobile terminal is met.
