Patent number: 12222784Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a retractable module, a flexible module, and a control module. The retractable module includes a first retractable structure and a second retractable structure that are connected to each other. The flexible module includes a vibration film and a one-way valve connected to the vibration film. The vibration film includes a first state and a second state. The control module is configured to control the vibration film to enter the second state from the first state in response to the first retractable structure being away from the second retractable structure and perform heat dissipation on the electronic apparatus through the vibration film and the one-way valve in the second state.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: LENOVO (BEIJING) LIMITEDInventors: Guowen Zhang, Tianshui Tan, Yizhi Shi

Patent number: 12072739Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a first body, a second body, and a flexible screen. The second body is rotatably connected to the first body through a rotation shaft device to cause an opening and closing angle of the first body relative to the second body to be adjustable. The flexible screen is configured to display images. An end of the flexible screen is slidably arranged at the first body along a connection line direction of the first body and the second body. A second end is slidably arranged at the second body along the line connection direction. The first end and the second end are two ends of the flexible screen in the connection line direction. The first end and the second end of the flexible screen synchronously slide along the connection line direction to adjust a size of a part of the flexible screen located at the first body.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: LENOVO (BEIJING) LIMITEDInventors: Liang Han, Ran Zhang, Tianshui Tan

Patent number: 11442509Abstract: A rotating shaft configured to connect two screen-brackets includes two axle structures arranged symmetrically. One of the two axle structures includes an axle, a motion conversion structure, a screen bracket connection structure, and a supporting bracket. The axle includes a worm groove at a surface of the axle. The motion conversion structure cooperates with the worm groove to form a worm drive. The screen bracket connection structure is movably connected to the motion conversion structure and includes mounting holes, which are configured to mount the screen-brackets. The supporting bracket is sleeved at the axle, rotates around an axis of the axle, and is movably connected to the motion conversion structure and the screen bracket connection structure. The motion conversion structure is movable along an axis direction of the axle on a first surface relative to the supporting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: LENOVO (BEIJING) CO., LTD.Inventors: Ran Zhang, Jinzhong Shi, Liang Han, Tianshui Tan, Shibo Rui
