The electronic device includes a folding apparatus and a flexible display. The folding apparatus is configured to bear the flexible display. An elastic component of the folding apparatus may transfer an elastic force to the flexible display by using a housing of the folding apparatus. A force that is away from a main shaft and that is applied to the flexible display when the electronic device is in a flattened state is greater than a force that is away from the main shaft and that is applied to the flexible display when the electronic device is in a closed state.

Folding apparatus and electronic device

This application discloses a folding mechanism and an electronic device. The folding mechanism is applied to a housing apparatus of an electronic device, and is configured to connect two housings of the housing apparatus. The folding mechanism can form display accommodating space through automatic avoidance in a folding process, and a flexible display is accommodated in the display accommodating space, so that a folding action performed by the housing apparatus on the flexible display is stable, and a squeezing force is small. This helps reduce a risk that the flexible display is damaged due to excessive squeezing of the folding mechanism, and makes the flexible display more reliable.

Folding mechanism, housing apparatus, and electronic device

A rotating mechanism includes a main shaft assembly, a first fixed bracket, a second fixed bracket, a first transmission arm, a first rotating arm, a second transmission arm, and a second rotating arm. One end of the first transmission arm is slidably connected to the second fixed bracket, and the other end of the first transmission arm is a rotating end and is rotatably connected to the main shaft assembly. Two ends of the first rotating arm are rotatably connected to the first transmission arm and the first fixed bracket respectively. One end of the second transmission arm is slidably connected to the first fixed bracket, and the other end of the second transmission arm is rotatably connected to the main shaft assembly. Two ends of the second rotating arm are rotatably connected to the second transmission arm and the second fixed bracket respectively.

A rotation mechanism, includes a middle housing (), a first support () and a second support (), a first end of the first support is rotatably connected to the middle housing, and a second end of the first support is fixedly connected to a first housing; a first end of the second support is rotatably connected to the middle housing, and a second end of the second support is fixedly connected to a second housing.
