  • Publication number: 20240069604
    Abstract: The electronic device includes a folding apparatus and a flexible display. The folding apparatus is configured to bear the flexible display. An elastic component of the folding apparatus may transfer an elastic force to the flexible display by using a housing of the folding apparatus. A force that is away from a main shaft and that is applied to the flexible display when the electronic device is in a flattened state is greater than a force that is away from the main shaft and that is applied to the flexible display when the electronic device is in a closed state.

  • Publication number: 20240015236
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device includes a first main body, a second main body, a rotating shaft assembly, a flexible screen, and a protective bracket. The first main body and the second main body are coupled through the rotating shaft assembly, the flexible screen is disposed on the first main body and the second main body, and the first main body and the second main body rotate relative to the rotating shaft assembly towards a side having the flexible screen. The flexible screen includes a bending region, and a first non-bending region and a second non-bending region that are respectively located on two sides of the bending region. The protection bracket includes a flexible part, a first metal part, and a second metal part. The flexible part is disposed on the flexible screen and includes a main body segment, a first connection segment, and a second connection segment.

  • Publication number: 20230403347
    Abstract: This application discloses a folding mechanism and an electronic device. The folding mechanism is applied to a housing apparatus of an electronic device, and is configured to connect two housings of the housing apparatus. The folding mechanism can form display accommodating space through automatic avoidance in a folding process, and a flexible display is accommodated in the display accommodating space, so that a folding action performed by the housing apparatus on the flexible display is stable, and a squeezing force is small. This helps reduce a risk that the flexible display is damaged due to excessive squeezing of the folding mechanism, and makes the flexible display more reliable.

  • Publication number: 20220071611
    Abstract: A double-bending flexible surgical tool system includes a mechanical arm including a first continuum segment, a rigid connection segment, a second continuum segment, and a third continuum segment. The first continuum segment and the second continuum segment are associated to form a first dual continuum mechanism. A proximal continuum segment disposed at a proximal end of the first continuum segment and associated with the third continuum segment disposed at a distal end of the second continuum segment form a second dual continuum mechanism. A transmission driving unit associated with the rigid connection segment and the proximal continuum segment, respectively, is configured to drive the first continuum segment to bend in any direction to drive the second continuum segment to bend in an opposite direction, and to drive the proximal continuum segment to bend in any direction to drive the third continuum segment to bend in an opposite direction.
