A hinge and a mobile terminal to resolve poor use effect of a foldable electronic device. The hinge includes a main body, and a first folding assembly and a second folding assembly that are symmetrically disposed along the main body. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated toward each other, a length of the hinge can be extended, and an accommodation space for accommodating the flexible display can be formed. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated away from each other, the length of the hinge can be reduced, and a support surface for supporting the flexible display can be formed, so that the flexible display cannot be stretched, compressed, or the like during folding and unfolding, thereby improving the use effect and safety of the mobile terminal.

A keyboard assembly includes a keyboard body and a drive mechanism. The keyboard body includes a frame assembly and keys. The keys are arranged in a plurality of rows in parallel, each row of keys include a plurality of keys, and the keys are located in key slots on the keyboard body. The frame assembly includes a first frame and a crossbar, and the drive mechanism drives the first frame to move in an arrangement direction of the plurality of rows of keys. One crossbar is correspondingly disposed for each row of keys, the crossbar moves, along with movement of the first frame, in an arrangement direction of each row of keys, and the keys move, along with movement of the crossbar, in a direction toward the key slots or in a direction of exposing the key slots.

The rotation shaft structure includes a main shaft assembly, and two folding assemblies that are symmetrically disposed with respect to the main shaft assembly. The two folding assemblies may rotate toward or against each other relative to the main shaft assembly. When the folding assembly is specifically disposed, the folding assembly includes a rotation assembly, a support plate, and a housing mounting bracket. The rotation assembly is rotationally connected to the main shaft assembly. The support plate is rotationally connected to the housing mounting bracket and slidably connected to the rotation assembly.

Rotation shaft structure and electronic device

Embodiments provide a hinge mechanism and a foldable mobile terminal. A swing arm component and a synchronization component are disposed on both sides of a main shaft component of the hinge mechanism, so that when a swing arm rotates around the main shaft component, a synchronization arm on a same side as the swing arm rotates accordingly to drive a synchronization arm and a swing arm on the other side to rotate, and further, housings on both sides of the foldable mobile terminal including the main shaft component can move synchronously, and force of a flexible screen is relatively even. In addition, because swing arms on both sides of the main shaft component rotate around different axes, through such a design, accommodation space that can accommodate the flexible screen can be formed during rotation of the swing arms, so that damage to the flexible screen is reduced.

Hinge mechanism and foldable mobile terminal

This application provides a rotation shaft structure and an electronic device. The rotation shaft structure includes a main shaft assembly, and two folding assemblies. The folding assembly includes a rotation assembly, a support plate, and a housing mounting bracket. The rotation assembly is rotationally connected to the main shaft assembly. The support plate is rotationally connected to the housing mounting bracket and slidably connected to the rotation assembly. When two housing mounting brackets rotate toward each other, two support plates rotate in a same direction relative to the housing mounting brackets on corresponding sides, so that the two support plates and the main shaft assembly can form a triangle-like display accommodation space. When the electronic device is in a closed state, the display accommodation space can be used for accommodating a bent portion of the flexible display, so that the flexible display is not damaged by extrusion.

A connection rod and a swing arm are separately rotatably connected to a primary shaft component, and an axis around which the swing arm rotates and an axis around which the connection rod rotates are different, so that the swing arm and the connection rod rotate and slide relative to each other. The swing arm or the connection rod drives a support plate to rotate, so that the primary shaft component and the support plates can encircle to form, when the mobile terminal is completely folded, space that accommodates a folded part of a flexible display.

Rotating shaft mechanism and mobile terminal

The present invention discloses a rotating mechanism and a foldable terminal. The rotating mechanism includes a guide shaft, at least two rotating parts, and at least two constant-length units. The rotating parts are disposed on two sides of the guide shaft. An arc-shaped slot is disposed on the guide shaft. An arc-shaped part is disposed on the rotating part, and the arc-shaped part is disposed in the arc-shaped slot in a sliding manner. The constant-length unit is a long strip that has a fixed length and can be bent. A positioning end of the constant-length unit is fixedly connected to or rotationally connected to a rotating part on one side of the guide shaft, and a sliding end is connected to a rotating part on the other side of the guide shaft in a sliding manner. The foldable terminal has the foregoing rotating mechanism.

Rotating mechanism and foldable terminal

In a rotating shaft mechanism and a foldable mobile terminal, connecting rods and swing arms are rotatably connected to a main shaft assembly, and the swing arms and the connecting rods rotate around different axes, so that the swing arms and the connecting rods rotate and slide relative to each other. During folding, the connecting rods or the swing arms drive the two support plates to rotate towards each other, the support plates and the main shaft assembly enclose folding space for accommodating a flexible display of the mobile terminal in a folded state, so that the bending effect of the flexible display is improved, and two housings of the mobile terminal fit almost seamlessly in the folded state.
