  • Publication number: 20240179229
    Abstract: Disclosed are a synchronization mechanism and a foldable terminal. In the synchronization mechanism, a first rotating component and a second rotating component are in transmission connection by using a first worm, a worm gear, and a second worm that are sequentially meshed, thereby implementing the synchronous rotation of the first rotating component and the second rotating component relative to a base. In addition, when the synchronization mechanism is applied to the foldable terminal, since an axial direction of the worm gear and a radial direction of the first worm and the second worm are consistent with a thickness direction of the body, and an axial size of the worm gear and radial sizes of the first worm and the second worm are relatively small, which is conducive to the light and thin design of the foldable terminal.
