  • Publication number: 20230264114
    Abstract: A floatable interfacial solar-driven evaporation structure includes a water impervious thermal insulation layer adapted to float on a body of water, a porous absorber layer on the water impervious thermal insulation layer, and an interlocked non-woven cotton fiber layer having a portion thereof between the water impervious insulation layer and the porous absorber layer and one or more additional portions configured to extend to the body of water to act as a capillary-driven pump to transport water from the body of water to the porous absorber layer. An ultra-black photothermal paint covers the exposed upper surface of the porous absorber layer to convert solar radiation impinging on the ultra-black photothermal paint into heat for use in generating water vapor from water in the porous absorber layer.

  • Publication number: 20230236635
    Abstract: The present invention provides a motion mechanism applied to an inward-folding flexible screen terminal, comprising an intermediate support structure, left and right support structures, and left and right movable support plates. The intermediate support structure is provided with a synchronous reverse rotation connecting mechanism. The left and right movable support plates are rotatably connected to the left and right support structures at the intermediate support structure, respectively. Rotation of the left and right movable support plates can be directly planned according to the relationship between gears and racks, and the gear indexing circle diameter can be increased in finite space by using virtual center design, so that the racks are driven to generate a larger sliding distance by rotating a small angle, i.e., sliding a chassis to increase the accommodating space of the screen closed state.

  • Publication number: 20230053947
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hinge applied to an inward-foldable flexible screen terminal and an inward-foldable flexible screen terminal. The hinge comprises a middle support, a left rotary connecting part, and a right rotary connecting part. The present invention allows a left housing and a right housing to rotate respectively around the rotation axes of the left rotary connecting part and the right rotary connecting part as axes, and synchronously rotate in opposite directions. The present invention can reduce the space occupied by synchronous opposite connecting mechanisms, making the volume of the hinge smaller, and reducing the size of a middle decorative casing.

  • Publication number: 20220345558
    Abstract: A motion mechanism applied to an inner folding flexible screen terminal and an inner folding flexible screen terminal are disclosed. The motion mechanism includes left and right cranks and left and right connecting plates. The left and right cranks are both rotatably connected to a middle support structure, and the left and right connecting plates are respectively rotatably connected to the left and right cranks and slidably connected to left and right support frames. The left and right connecting plates are respectively connected to left and right housings of the flexible screen terminal. The motion mechanism has a simple structure and reliable movements. When the flexible screen is bent, the housings and the flexible screen move toward the far side together. In addition, the housings do not need to be provided with overly wide frames at two ends for coverage, which may facilitate a narrow frame design.

  • Patent number: 11455017
    Abstract: A hinge for a mobile terminal having an inwardly bendable flexible screen comprises: a three-member mechanism consisting of a left supporting plate, a middle supporting plate and a right supporting plate which are rotatably and sequentially connected; a left supporting frame; a right supporting frame; and a middle U-shaped outer cover. Both ends of the three-member mechanism are free ends, such that the left supporting plate, the middle supporting plate and the right supporting plate are flexible screen supporting members capable of moving up and down. After moving up, the left supporting plate, the middle supporting plate and the right supporting plate form a flexible screen supporting face, and after moving down, the components are in a bent state, thereby providing a space for bending of the flexible screen. After moving down, the middle supporting plate reaches a bottom portion of the middle U-shaped outer cover.
