  • Patent number: 11914433
    Abstract: A hinge and a mobile terminal to resolve poor use effect of a foldable electronic device. The hinge includes a main body, and a first folding assembly and a second folding assembly that are symmetrically disposed along the main body. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated toward each other, a length of the hinge can be extended, and an accommodation space for accommodating the flexible display can be formed. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated away from each other, the length of the hinge can be reduced, and a support surface for supporting the flexible display can be formed, so that the flexible display cannot be stretched, compressed, or the like during folding and unfolding, thereby improving the use effect and safety of the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220353355
    Abstract: The technology of this application relates to a foldable mobile terminal. The foldable mobile terminal includes a rotating shaft mechanism, two housings, and a flexible display. The flexible display is embedded into the two housings and covers the rotating shaft mechanism. The rotating shaft mechanism has a main shaft and two rotation parts, and the rotation part rotates with the housing on a corresponding side. The flexible display is fixed to the two housings and the two rotation parts. In this way, in a folding or unfolding process of the foldable mobile terminal, relative sliding of the flexible display relative to the two housings and the rotation parts can be avoided, thereby reducing a risk of damaging the flexible display. In addition, a part of the flexible display that is opposite to the main shaft can be bent freely.

  • Publication number: 20220113771
    Abstract: A foldable module and a corresponding device are provided. The foldable module includes a first connection part, a first pin, a first drive ring, and a first spring. The first pin passes through the first drive ring, a first pin hole which is disposed on the first connection part, and the first spring. A first convex part and a first concave part are disposed between the first drive ring and the first connection part. The first convex part is located between (a) the first spring and (b) the first concave part or the first convex part. When the first connection part rotates, or in a folding or unfolding process, the first convex part slides out of the first concave part, to provide damping force for unfolding or folding. The first connection part directly drives the first convex part and the first concave part to move correspondingly, thereby improving transmission accuracy.
