技术领域technical field

本申请涉及电子产品技术领域,特别涉及一种同步装置、应用该同步装置的可折叠壳体组件及应用该可折叠壳体组件的可折叠电子设备。The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, and in particular, to a synchronization device, a foldable casing assembly using the synchronization device, and a foldable electronic device using the foldable casing assembly.

背景技术Background technique

随着技术的发展,可折叠电子设备(例如可折叠手机、可折叠平板电脑等)已经越来越多的出现在人们的工作和生活之中。可折叠电子设备在使用过程中,其柔性屏会发生弯折。此时,为了保证柔性屏弯折区域受力均匀、避免柔性屏损坏,需要使柔性屏的两个非弯折区域的转动是同步的,即需要使可折叠电子设备中支撑两个非弯折区域的两个壳体的转动是同步的。因此,如何保障折叠电子设备中支撑两个非弯折区域的两个壳体能够同步转动,一直是研发人员研发方向。With the development of technology, foldable electronic devices (such as foldable mobile phones, foldable tablet computers, etc.) have increasingly appeared in people's work and life. When a foldable electronic device is in use, its flexible screen will bend. At this time, in order to ensure that the bending area of the flexible screen is evenly stressed and avoid damage to the flexible screen, it is necessary to synchronize the rotation of the two non-bending areas of the flexible screen, that is, the foldable electronic device needs to support the two non-bending areas. The rotation of the two shells of the zone is synchronized. Therefore, how to ensure that the two housings supporting the two non-bending regions in the folding electronic device can rotate synchronously has always been the research direction of the researchers.

其中,所述连接组件相对于所述底座活动,使所述第一滑动件和所述第二滑动件朝相反方向同步滑动,以驱动所述第一连接臂和所述第二连接臂同步转动而叠合或展开;Wherein, the connecting assembly moves relative to the base, so that the first sliding member and the second sliding member slide in opposite directions synchronously, so as to drive the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm to rotate synchronously to fold or unfold;

所述第一壳体与所述第二壳体并排设置,所述同步装置设于所述第一壳体与所述第二壳体之间,所述同步装置的第一连接臂固定于所述第一壳体,所述同步装置的第二连接臂固定于所述第二壳体;The first casing and the second casing are arranged side by side, the synchronizing device is arranged between the first casing and the second casing, and the first connecting arm of the synchronizing device is fixed to the the first housing, the second connecting arm of the synchronizing device is fixed on the second housing;

本申请提出一种同步装置100,其应用于可折叠电子设备。可以理解地,可折叠电子设备包括柔性屏和可折叠壳体组件1000。The present application proposes a synchronization device 100, which is applied to a foldable electronic device. It can be understood that the foldable electronic device includes a flexible screen and a foldable housing assembly 1000 .

如图1所示,可折叠壳体组件1000包括第一壳体200、第二壳体300以及弯折部(未图示);第一壳体200与第二壳体300并排且间隔设置;弯折部设于第一壳体200与第二壳体300之间,并具有背对设置的第一侧边和第二侧边,第一侧边朝向第一壳体200并与第一壳体200连接,第二侧边朝向第二壳体300并与第二壳体300连接;第一壳体200设有第一安装面,第二壳体300设有第二安装面,第一安装面在第一壳体200折叠于第二壳体300时与第二安装面相对设置或背对设置;柔性屏设于第一安装面和第二安装面之上。As shown in FIG. 1 , the foldable casing assembly 1000 includes a first casing 200, a second casing 300 and a bending portion (not shown); the first casing 200 and the second casing 300 are arranged side by side and spaced apart; The bent portion is disposed between the first casing 200 and the second casing 300 and has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the first side faces the first casing 200 and is connected with the first casing. body 200 is connected, the second side is facing the second shell 300 and is connected with the second shell 300; the first shell 200 is provided with a first mounting surface, the second shell 300 is provided with a second mounting surface, the first mounting surface When the first housing 200 is folded on the second housing 300, the surface is arranged opposite or opposite to the second installation surface; the flexible screen is arranged on the first installation surface and the second installation surface.

具体地,第一壳体200和第二壳体300均为长方体形的板状结构,二者大小相当,且共平面设置。第一壳体200内可形成容纳腔,用于安装可折叠电子设备的电器元件。同理,第二壳体300内也可形成容纳腔,用于安装可折叠电子设备的电器元件。弯折部可由若干刚性单元通过排列和铰接而成(类似手表钢带的结构)。弯折部也为长方体形,其两条较长的侧边——第一侧边和第二侧边背对设置。弯折部设置于第一壳体200与第二壳体300之间,并与第一壳体200和第二壳体300共平面设置。弯折部的第一侧边朝向第一壳体200设置,并与第一壳体200的面向第二壳体300的侧边连接,弯折部的第二侧边朝向第二壳体300设置,并与第二壳体300的面向第一壳体200的侧边连接。此时,由于弯折部可进行弯折操作,第一壳体200相对于第二壳体300便可折叠,并具有折叠状态和展开状态。相对地,第二壳体300相对于第一壳体200也可折叠,并具有折叠状态和展开状态。需要说明的是,第一壳体200的展开状态是指第一壳体200相对于第二壳体300平铺时的状态;同样地,第二壳体300的展开状态是指第二壳体300相对于第一壳体200平铺时的状态。Specifically, the first casing 200 and the second casing 300 are both cuboid-shaped plate-like structures, and the two are of the same size, and are disposed coplanarly. A receiving cavity may be formed in the first housing 200 for installing electrical components of the foldable electronic device. Similarly, an accommodating cavity may also be formed in the second housing 300 for installing the electrical components of the foldable electronic device. The bent part can be formed by arranging and hinged several rigid units (similar to the structure of a watch steel band). The bent portion is also in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and its two longer sides, the first side and the second side, are arranged opposite to each other. The bent portion is disposed between the first casing 200 and the second casing 300 and coplanar with the first casing 200 and the second casing 300 . The first side of the bending portion is disposed toward the first casing 200 and is connected to the side of the first casing 200 that faces the second casing 300 , and the second side of the bending portion is disposed toward the second casing 300 , and is connected with the side of the second casing 300 facing the first casing 200 . At this time, since the bending portion can perform a bending operation, the first casing 200 can be folded relative to the second casing 300, and has a folded state and an unfolded state. Conversely, the second casing 300 is also foldable relative to the first casing 200, and has a folded state and an unfolded state. It should be noted that the unfolded state of the first housing 200 refers to the state when the first housing 200 is tiled relative to the second housing 300 ; similarly, the unfolded state of the second housing 300 refers to the state of the second housing 300 The state when 300 is tiled relative to the first housing 200 .

这样,当可折叠电子设备的折叠是内折形式时,且在第一壳体200处于折叠状态时(即,在第一壳体200折叠于第二壳体300时;也即,在第二壳体300折叠于第一壳体200时;亦即,在第二壳体300处于折叠状态时),第一壳体200的第一安装面与第二壳体300的第二安装面相对设置,即第一壳体200和第二壳体300叠合;而在第一壳体200处于展开状态时(即第二壳体300处于展开状态时),第一壳体200的第一安装面与第二壳体300的第二安装面则共平面设置。类似地,当可折叠电子设备的折叠是外折形式时,且在第一壳体200处于折叠状态时(即,在第一壳体200折叠于第二壳体300时;也即,在第二壳体300折叠于第一壳体200时;亦即,在第二壳体300处于折叠状态时),第一壳体200的第一安装面与第二壳体300的第二安装面背对设置,即第一壳体200和第二壳体300叠合。而在第一壳体200处于展开状态时(即第二壳体300处于展开状态时),第一壳体200的第一安装面与第二壳体300的第二安装面则共平面设置。In this way, when the folding of the foldable electronic device is in the form of inward folding, and when the first case 200 is in a folded state (ie, when the first case 200 is folded to the second case 300; that is, when the second case 200 is folded When the housing 300 is folded to the first housing 200; that is, when the second housing 300 is in a folded state), the first mounting surface of the first housing 200 is disposed opposite to the second mounting surface of the second housing 300 , that is, the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are superimposed; and when the first housing 200 is in the unfolded state (ie, when the second housing 300 is in the unfolded state), the first mounting surface of the first housing 200 The second mounting surface of the second casing 300 is coplanar. Similarly, when the folding of the foldable electronic device is in the form of outward folding, and when the first casing 200 is in a folded state (ie, when the first casing 200 is folded to the second casing 300; that is, when the first casing 200 is folded on the second casing 300; When the second casing 300 is folded to the first casing 200; that is, when the second casing 300 is in the folded state), the first mounting surface of the first casing 200 and the second mounting surface of the second casing 300 are behind The pair is arranged, that is, the first casing 200 and the second casing 300 are superimposed. When the first housing 200 is in the unfolded state (ie, when the second housing 300 is in the unfolded state), the first mounting surface of the first housing 200 and the second mounting surface of the second housing 300 are coplanar.

柔性屏贴装于第一壳体200的第一安装面和第二壳体300的第二安装面之上,以随第一壳体200相对于第二壳体300的开合运动(或随第二壳体300相对于第一壳体200的开合运动),呈现不同的使用状态,从而满足用户不同的操作需求。此时,可以理解地,柔性屏被划分成为两个非弯折区域和一个弯折区域,一个非弯折区域由第一壳体200支撑,另一个非弯折区域由第二壳体300支撑,弯折区域则由弯折部支撑。The flexible screen is mounted on the first mounting surface of the first housing 200 and the second mounting surface of the second housing 300, so as to follow the opening and closing movement of the first housing 200 relative to the second housing 300 (or with the The opening and closing motion of the second casing 300 relative to the first casing 200 ) presents different use states, so as to meet the different operation requirements of the user. At this time, it can be understood that the flexible screen is divided into two non-bending areas and one bending area, one non-bending area is supported by the first casing 200 , and the other non-bending area is supported by the second casing 300 , the bending area is supported by the bending part.

基于前述可折叠电子设备的结构,为了使可折叠电子设备中支撑柔性屏的两个非弯折区域的两个壳体能够同步转动,从而使柔性屏的两个非弯折区域能够同步转动,保证柔性屏弯折区域受力均匀,避免柔性屏损坏;Based on the structure of the aforementioned foldable electronic device, in order to enable the two housings supporting the two non-bending areas of the flexible screen in the foldable electronic device to rotate synchronously, so that the two non-bending areas of the flexible screen can rotate synchronously, Ensure that the bending area of the flexible screen is evenly stressed and avoid damage to the flexible screen;

此时,结合图1,可以理解地,当第一连接臂20随可折叠电子设备的第一壳体200而转动时,由于第一滑动件40和第二滑动件50是同步且朝相反方向运动的,第一连接臂20便可通过与其传动连接的第一滑动件40、以及连接在第一滑动件40和第二滑动件50之间的连接组件60,驱动第二滑动件50发生与第一滑动件40同步的且朝相反方向的运动,从而通过第二滑动件50驱动与其传动连接的第二连接臂30发生与第一连接臂20同步的转动、且转动方向与第一连接臂20的转动方向相反,进而通过第二连接臂30驱动可折叠电子设备的第二壳体300发生与第一壳体200同步的转动,且转动方向与第一壳体200的转动方向相反,直至第一连接臂20和第二连接臂30叠合(即第一连接臂20和第二连接臂30均处于折叠状态),直至第一壳体200和第二壳体300叠合(即第一壳体200和第二壳体300均处于折叠状态)。同理,当第二连接臂30随可折叠电子设备的第二壳体300而转动时,由于第一滑动件40和第二滑动件50是同步且朝相反方向运动的,第二连接臂30便可通过与其传动连接的第二滑动件50、以及连接在第一滑动件40和第二滑动件50之间的连接组件60,驱动第一滑动件40发生与第二滑动件50同步的且朝相反方向的运动,从而通过第一滑动件40驱动第一连接臂20发生与第二连接臂30同步的转动、且转动方向与第二连接臂30的转动方向相反,进而通过第一连接臂20驱动可折叠电子设备的第一壳体200发生与第二壳体300同步的转动,且转动方向与第二壳体300的转动方向相反,直至第一连接臂20和第二连接臂30叠合(即第一连接臂20和第二连接臂30均处于折叠状态),直至第一壳体200和第二壳体300叠合(即第一壳体200和第二壳体300均处于折叠状态)。At this time, with reference to FIG. 1 , it can be understood that when the first connecting arm 20 rotates with the first housing 200 of the foldable electronic device, since the first sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 50 are synchronized and face opposite directions When moving, the first connecting arm 20 can drive the second sliding member 50 to interact with the first sliding member 40 through the first sliding member 40 drivingly connected thereto and the connecting assembly 60 connected between the first sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 50 .

Similarly, when the second connecting arm 30 rotates with the second casing 300 of the foldable electronic device, since the first sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 50 move synchronously and in opposite directions, the second connecting arm 30 The first sliding member 40 can be driven to synchronize with the second sliding member 50 through the second sliding member 50 that is drive-connected therewith and the connecting assembly 60 connected between the first sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 50. Movement in the opposite direction, so as to drive the first connecting arm 20 to rotate synchronously with the second connecting arm 30 through the first sliding member 40, and the rotation direction is opposite to the rotating direction of the second connecting arm 30, and then pass the first connecting arm 20 drives the first casing 200 of the foldable electronic device to rotate synchronously with the second casing 300, and the rotating direction is opposite to the rotating direction of the second casing 300, until the first connecting arm 20 and the second connecting arm 30 overlap.

可以理解地,该连接组件60,不仅可以保障第一滑动件40和第二滑动件50朝相反方向同步滑动,实现第一连接臂20和第二连接臂30同步转动;而且还具有运动空程少、同步性好、结构简单、制造方便、装配快捷、稳定性强、可靠性高等优点。Understandably, the connecting assembly 60 can not only ensure that the first sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 50 slide in opposite directions synchronously to realize the synchronous rotation of the first connecting arm 20 and the second connecting arm 30; It has the advantages of less quantity, good synchronization, simple structure, convenient manufacture, quick assembly, strong stability and high reliability.

进一步地,相较于相关技术中第一连接臂20与第二连接臂30之间通过多个齿轮副(例如6个齿轮所构成的5个齿轮副)来实现二者同步转动的方式,该连接组件60不论搭载前述齿轮齿条传动方式,还是搭载前述连杆机构传动方式,均可以有效减少第一连接臂20与第二连接臂30之间齿轮副的数量,减少同步装置100运行过程中运动空程的出现几率,从而提升同步装置100中第一连接臂20与第二连接臂30的同步性,实现可折叠电子设备中与两连接臂分别连接的两个壳体之间更好地同步转动,实现两个壳体支撑的柔性屏的两个非弯折区域之间更好地同步转动,进而提升柔性屏弯折区域受力的均匀性,降低柔性屏损坏的可能。Further, compared with the related art in which the first connecting arm 20 and the second connecting arm 30 are rotated synchronously through multiple gear pairs (for example, five gear pairs formed by 6 gears), the Regardless of whether the connecting assembly 60 is equipped with the aforementioned rack-and-pinion transmission method or the aforementioned link mechanism transmission method, the number of gear pairs between the first connecting arm 20 and the second connecting arm 30 can be effectively reduced, and the number of gear pairs during the operation of the synchronizing device 100 can be reduced. The occurrence probability of the motion idling is improved, thereby improving the synchronization between the first connecting arm 20 and the second connecting arm 30 in the synchronization device 100, and realizing a better connection between the two shells respectively connected to the two connecting arms in the foldable electronic device. Synchronous rotation achieves better synchronous rotation between the two non-bending regions of the flexible screen supported by the two housings, thereby improving the uniformity of force in the bending region of the flexible screen and reducing the possibility of damage to the flexible screen.

当然,在其他实施例中,也可以使用其他连接组件60来保障第一滑动件40和第二滑动件50朝相反方向同步滑动,例如:两根平行的滑动杆之间设置一个齿轮,滑动杆的面向齿轮的表面为齿条面,齿条面沿滑动杆的长度方向布局,并与齿轮的齿轮面啮合;齿轮转动,驱动两根滑动杆朝相反的方向滑动。至于更多其他方式,本领域技术人员可以根据连接组件60的功能作用合理实施,在此不再一一赘述。Of course, in other embodiments, other connecting components 60 can also be used to ensure that the first sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 50 slide synchronously in opposite directions, for example: a gear is arranged between two parallel sliding rods, and the sliding rods The surface of the gear facing the gear is a rack surface, and the rack surface is arranged along the length direction of the sliding rod and meshes with the gear surface of the gear; the rotation of the gear drives the two sliding rods to slide in opposite directions. As for other manners, those skilled in the art can reasonably implement them according to the functions of the connecting component 60 , which will not be repeated here.

A second chute 13 is provided. The third sliding member 61 includes a sliding end and a mounting end that are opposite to each other. The sliding end is inserted into the third sliding groove. The end of the second link 65 facing away from the second sliding member 50 is sleeved on the installation end.

Specifically, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , the two limiting blocks arranged opposite to each other are circumferentially arranged and connected to each other along the circumference of the sliding end, and finally form a limiting block of annular structure. At this time, even if the third sliding member 61 rotates, the limiting block of the third sliding member 61 is still partially inserted into the limiting groove 131, which ensures the stability of the third sliding member 61 when sliding under the autorotation state. .
