Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the folder mobile terminal 10 is a smart phone. The folding mobile terminal 10 includes a flexible screen 100, a housing assembly 200, and a folding mechanism 300. The flexible screen 100 has a bendable nature, and the flexible screen 100 is capable of displaying information and providing an interactive interface for a user. The housing assembly 200 includes a first housing 210 and a second housing 220, and the flexible screen 100 covers the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 and is connected to the first housing 210 and the second housing 220, respectively. Referring also to fig. 3, the folding mechanism 300 includes a first damping assembly 310, a second damping assembly 320, and a connector 330, the connector 330 being connected to the first damping assembly 310 and the second damping assembly 320, respectively, the first damping assembly 310 being connected to the first housing 210, and the second damping assembly 320 being connected to the second housing 220. The first housing 210 can be rotated relative to the second housing 220 by the folding mechanism 300 to enable the folding and unfolding of the folding mobile terminal 10. Referring to fig. 4, the housing assembly 200 of the folder mobile terminal 10 is in an unfolded state.
Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, a first mounting hole 331, a second mounting hole 333 and a mounting groove 335 are formed in the connecting piece 330, the first mounting hole 331 and the second mounting hole 333 are respectively communicated with the mounting groove 335, the first damping component 310 is penetrated in the first mounting hole 331, the connecting rod 316 of the first damping component 310 protrudes from the first mounting hole 331 and is fixedly connected with the first housing 210, the second damping component 320 is penetrated in the second mounting hole 333, and the second damping component 320 protrudes from the second mounting hole 333 and is fixedly connected with the second housing 220. Further, the folder type mobile terminal 10 includes a cover 340 covering the mounting groove 335, the cover 340 defining a position of the first damping member 310 in the first mounting hole 331 to prevent the first damping member 310 from being removed from the first mounting hole 331. Likewise, the cover plate 340 can define the position of the second damping assembly 320 within the second mounting hole 333 to prevent the second damping assembly 320 from backing out of the second mounting hole 333.
In one embodiment, the flexible screen 100 is covered on the side where the cover 340 is located, and when the foldable mobile terminal 10 is folded, the displayable area of the flexible screen 100 is exposed out of the housing assembly 200. In the folded state of the folding mobile terminal 10, the flexible screen 100 is exposed out of the housing assembly 200, and in the folded state, the user can normally use the folding mobile terminal 10.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the housing assembly 200 is in a closed state. In the rotation process of the first housing 210 relative to the second housing 220, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 can respectively drive the flexible screen 100 to rotate and bend the flexible screen 100. During the unfolding and folding of the folder type mobile terminal 10, the first housing 210 rotates relative to the connector 330 through the first damping assembly 310, the second housing 220 rotates relative to the connector 330 through the second damping assembly 320, and the rotation damping of the first damping assembly 310 is greater than the rotation damping of the second damping assembly 320.
It is understood that rotational damping refers to the amount of rotational resistance during rotation, which represents the amount of rotational torque that resists rotation generated by resistance during rotation. It will be appreciated that the rotational damping may be continuous, for example, in this embodiment, the rotational damping of the first damping assembly 310 continuously varies as the first housing 210 rotates relative to the connector 330, which resists rotation of the first housing 210 relative to the connector 330. As the second housing 220 rotates relative to the link 330, the rotational damping of the second damping assembly 320 continuously changes, which resists rotation of the second housing 220 relative to the link 330. Rotational damping may provide a user with a well-defined feel feedback and may also be used for positioning of the first and second housings 210, 220 relative to the connector 330. For example, in an embodiment, with the folder type mobile terminal 10 having the above structure, when the included angle between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 is within the range of 45 degrees to 180 degrees, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 may be positioned at any angle within the included angle range, so as to facilitate the user to use the folder type mobile terminal 10. In one embodiment, the folding mobile terminal 10 having the above-described structure, the angle between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 can be in a plurality of stable states. For example, when the included angle between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 is 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 135 degrees, etc., the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 can be in a stable positioning state, so that the use of the user can be facilitated.
Specifically, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the first damping assembly 310 includes a housing 311, an elastic member 313, a movable block 315, a stopper 317, and a snap ring 319, and the housing 311 is fixedly connected with a connecting member 330. The elastic member 313 is disposed in the housing 311, and one end of the elastic member 313 abuts against the housing 311. The movable block 315 is slidably disposed in the housing 311 and abuts against the other end of the elastic member 313 to compress the elastic member 313. The stopper 317 includes a connecting rod 316 and a stopper 318, the connecting rod 316 may be integrally formed with the stopper 318, and the connecting rod 316 may be detachably connected or non-detachably connected with the stopper 318. The connecting rod 316 is generally cylindrical, the connecting rod 316 penetrates through the housing 311, the elastic member 313 and the movable block 315, one end of the connecting rod 316 protrudes out of the housing 311 and is fixedly connected with the first housing 210, the other end of the connecting rod 316 is fixedly connected with the stop block 318, and the elastic member 313 presses the movable block 315 to enable the movable block 315 to press the stop block 318. The clasp 319 is clamped at one end of the connecting rod 316 protruding from the housing 311 to fix the position of the housing 311 in the axial direction of the connecting rod 316. In the process that the first housing 210 rotates relative to the connecting piece 330 through the first damping assembly 310, the first housing 210 can drive the stop block 318 to rotate relative to the movable block 315 through the connecting rod 316, so that the movable block 315 slides relative to the housing 311. Since the elastic member 313 is in a compressed state and abuts against the movable block 315, the friction force generated on the contact surface between the movable block 315 and the stop block 318 generates a resistance to the rotation of the movable block 315 relative to the stop block 318, that is, generates a rotation damping.
The internal structure and principle of the second damping member 320 are similar to those of the first damping member 310, and will not be described again here. It will be appreciated that when the friction distance between the movable block 315 of the first damping assembly 310 and the stopper 318 is greater than the friction torque in the second damping assembly 320, the rotational damping of the first damping assembly 310 is greater than the rotational damping of the second damping assembly 320. It will be appreciated that the magnitude of the friction torque is related to the compression spring force of the spring member 313 and also to the friction factor between the movable block 315 and the stop 318. In the present embodiment, the compression spring force of the elastic member 313 in the first damping assembly 310 is greater than the compression spring force of the elastic member 313 in the second damping assembly 320. In one embodiment, the rotational damping of the first damping assembly 310 is 100N and the rotational damping of the second damping assembly 320 is 30N. In an embodiment, the elastic member 313 is a spring, and in other embodiments, the elastic member 313 may be a spring plate or a spring column, which will not be described herein.
In the folding mobile terminal 10, since the rotation damping of the first damping component 310 is greater than that of the second damping component 320, the second damping component 320 can be unfolded or folded before the first damping component 310 in the unfolding and folding process of the folding mobile terminal 10, and the first damping component 310 and the second damping component 320 can provide a clear hand feeling for a user to improve the user experience. The arrangement of the first damping assembly 310 and the second damping assembly 320 also facilitates the positioning of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 at multiple angles.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, the movable block 315 includes an integrally formed body 3151 and a first boss 3153, and the first boss 3153 protrudes from an end of the body 3151 toward the stopper 318. The end of the stopper 318 facing the movable block 315 is provided with a groove 3181 and a second boss 3183, and the second boss 3183 and the groove wall of the groove 3181 are smoothly transited through the inclined surface 3185. In the process that the first housing 210 drives the stop block 318 to rotate relative to the movable block 315 through the connecting rod 316, the first boss 3153 can slide into the groove 3181 from the second boss 3183 and can slide out onto the second boss 3183 from the groove 3181. Further, referring to fig. 11 and 12, as an embodiment, during the folding process of the folding mobile terminal 10, the elastic member 313 can abut against the movable block 315, and when the first boss 3153 slides onto the inclined surface 3185, the elastic member 313 can push the first boss 3153 to slide into the groove 3181 quickly. For example, in an embodiment, in the folding process of the folding mobile terminal 10, when the included angle between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 is smaller than or equal to 10 degrees, the first boss 3153 slides onto the inclined surface 3185, and under the action of the elastic member 313, the first boss 3153 slides into the groove 3181 quickly, and the stop block 318 drives the connecting rod 316 to rotate quickly, so as to drive the first housing 210 to fold quickly, that is, the first damping component 310 can drive the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 to fold automatically. It is understood that the second damping assembly 320 may have a similar structure, and will not be described herein. It will be appreciated that by changing the direction of the inclined surface 3185, the above structure can also be used to achieve rapid unfolding of the first housing 210 relative to the second housing 220. The structure is beneficial to improving the experience of users. It will be appreciated that changing the angle of the inclined surface may change the speed at which the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 snap together.
In an embodiment, during the folding mobile terminal 10 is folded, the first housing 210 can abut against the connecting member 330 to limit the rotation range of the first housing 210 relative to the connecting member 330. Specifically, referring to fig. 13 and 14, in the present embodiment, when the first housing 210 rotates 90 degrees relative to the connector 330 with the flattened state of the folder-type mobile terminal 10 as the reference zero position of the angle, the side of the first housing 210 facing away from the flexible screen 100 abuts against the connector 330, and the connector 330 can limit the rotation of the first housing 210. Similarly, when the second housing 220 rotates 90 degrees relative to the connecting member 330, a side of the second housing 220 facing away from the flexible screen 100 may also abut against the connecting member 330 to limit the rotation range of the second housing 220. In the above arrangement, the connection member 330 is used to limit the rotation range of the first housing 210 or the second housing 220, so as to protect the flexible screen 100, the first damping component 310 and the second damping component 320 from damage to the flexible screen 100 or damage to the folding mechanism 300 due to an excessive rotation angle.
In one embodiment, a folding assembly is provided for a folding mobile terminal 10 that includes a housing assembly 200 and a folding mechanism 300. Specifically, the housing assembly 200 includes a first housing 210 and a second housing 220. The folding mechanism 300 includes a first damper assembly 310, a second damper assembly 320, and a connector 330, the connector 330 being connected to the first damper assembly 310 and the second damper assembly 320, respectively, the first damper assembly 310 being connected to the first housing 210, and the second damper assembly 320 being connected to the second housing 220. The first housing 210 can be rotated relative to the second housing 220 by the folding mechanism 300 to enable the folding and unfolding of the folding mobile terminal 10. During the unfolding and folding of the folder type mobile terminal 10, the first housing 210 rotates relative to the connector 330 through the first damping assembly 310, the second housing 220 rotates relative to the connector 330 through the second damping assembly 320, and the rotation damping of the first damping assembly 310 is greater than the rotation damping of the second damping assembly 320.
Specifically, the first damping assembly 310 is exemplified. The first damping assembly 310 includes a housing 311, an elastic member 313, a movable block 315, a stopper 317, and a snap ring 319, where the housing 311 is fixedly connected with the connecting member 330. The elastic member 313 is disposed in the housing 311, and one end of the elastic member 313 abuts against the housing 311. The movable block 315 is slidably disposed in the housing 311 and abuts against the other end of the elastic member 313 to compress the elastic member 313. The stop member 317 includes a connecting rod 316 and a stop block 318, the connecting rod 316 is disposed through the housing 311, the elastic member 313 and the movable block 315, and one end of the connecting rod 316 protrudes out of the housing 311 and is fixedly connected with the first housing 210, the other end of the connecting rod 316 is fixedly connected with the stop block 318, and the elastic member 313 presses the movable block 315 to press the stop block 318. The clasp 319 is clamped at one end of the connecting rod 316 protruding from the housing 311. In the process that the first housing 210 rotates relative to the connecting piece 330 through the first damping assembly 310, the first housing 210 can drive the stop block 318 to rotate relative to the movable block 315 through the connecting rod 316, so that the movable block 315 slides relative to the housing 311.
When the folding assembly is applied to the folding mobile terminal 10, since the rotation damping of the first damping component 310 is greater than that of the second damping component 320, the second damping component 320 can be unfolded or folded before the first damping component 310 in the process of unfolding and folding the folding mobile terminal 10, and the first damping component 310 and the second damping component 320 can provide a clear hand feeling for a user to improve the user experience. The arrangement of the first damping assembly 310 and the second damping assembly 320 also facilitates the positioning of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 at multiple angles.
In one embodiment, a damping assembly is also provided for use with the folder mobile terminal 10. The damping assembly includes a housing 311, an elastic member 313, a movable block 315, and a stopper 317. The elastic member 313 is disposed in the housing 311, and one end of the elastic member 313 abuts against the housing 311. The movable block 315 is slidably disposed in the housing 311 and abuts against the other end of the elastic member 313 to compress the elastic member 313. The stop member 317 includes a connecting rod 316 and a stop block 318, the connecting rod 316 is disposed through the housing 311, the elastic member 313 and the movable block 315, and one end of the connecting rod 316 protrudes out of the housing 311, the other end of the connecting rod 316 is fixedly connected with the stop block 318, and the elastic member 313 presses the movable block 315 to press the stop block 318. The connecting rod 316 can rotate relative to the housing 311, and the connecting rod 316 can drive the stop block 318 to rotate relative to the movable block 315, so as to push the movable block 315 to slide in the housing 311. The clasp 319 is clamped at one end of the connecting rod 316 protruding from the housing 311. The portion of the connecting rod 316 of the damping assembly protruding from the housing 311 may be connected to the housing assembly 200 of the folder-type mobile terminal 10, so that the housing assembly 200 can be unfolded and folded by the damping assembly, and the damping assembly can provide clear feel feedback for a user during the unfolding and folding process of the folder-type mobile terminal 10, so as to improve user experience. The damping assembly also facilitates positioning of the housing assembly 200 of the folder mobile terminal 10 at a plurality of unfolding angles to enhance the convenience of use for the user.
In one embodiment, the movable block 315 includes an integrally formed body 3151 and a first boss 3153, and the first boss 3153 protrudes from an end of the body 3151 facing the stop 318. The end of the stopper 318 facing the movable block 315 is provided with a groove 3181 and a second boss 3183, and the second boss 3183 and the groove wall of the groove 3181 are smoothly transited through the inclined surface 3185. In the process that the connecting rod 316 drives the stop block 318 to rotate relative to the movable block 315, the first boss 3153 can slide into the groove 3181 from the second boss 3183 and can slide out onto the second boss 3183 from the groove 3181. Further, as an embodiment, the elastic member 313 can abut against the movable block 315, and when the first boss 3153 slides onto the inclined surface 3185, the elastic member 313 can push the first boss 3153 to slide into the groove 3181 quickly. For example, in an embodiment, when the damping assembly is applied to the folding mobile terminal 10, in the folding process of the folding mobile terminal 10, when the included angle between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 is less than or equal to 10 degrees, the first boss 3153 slides onto the inclined surface 3185, under the action of the elastic member 313, the first boss 3153 slides into the groove 3181 quickly, and the stop block 318 drives the connecting rod 316 to rotate quickly, so as to drive the first housing 210 to fold quickly, that is, the first damping assembly 310 can drive the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 to fold automatically. It is understood that the second damping assembly 320 may have a similar structure, and will not be described herein. It will be appreciated that by changing the direction of the inclined surface 3185, the above structure can also be used to achieve rapid unfolding of the first housing 210 relative to the second housing 220. The structure is beneficial to improving the experience of users.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
