  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20220200092
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a housing, a battery cell assembly, a first separator, a pressure relief portion, and glue. The first separator is disposed between the housing and a first side of the battery cell assembly, and is deformed when a temperature is higher than a first threshold. The glue fills a clearance between the housing and at least a partial area outside the first side of the battery cell assembly and is configured to fasten the battery cell assembly to the housing. When thermal runaway occurs in the battery pack, the first separator is thermally deformed to form a first pressure relief channel between the housing and the first side of the battery cell assembly. Then, high-temperature gas can smoothly escape from the battery pack through the first pressure relief channel and the pressure relief portion.
