如上所述，第一壳体座210设于第一屏幕支撑板310，第二壳体座220设于第二屏幕支撑板320，且第一壳体座210和第一屏幕支撑板310设于基部100的第一侧，第二壳体座220和第二屏幕支撑板320设于基部100的第二侧，第一侧和第二侧相背设置。具体地，基部100、第一壳体座210、第二壳体座220、第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320均可以采用金属或塑料等结构强度相对较大的材料制成，以保证各部件之间的连接和配合关系均相对稳定，能够为柔性屏提供可靠的支撑效果。
具体地，第一壳体座210和第二壳体座220的结构和尺寸等参数可以不同，且均可以根据电子设备的柔性屏等其他器件灵活设计。可选地，第一壳体座210和第二壳体座220的结构对称设计，尺寸对应相同，以便于整个折叠机构加工和组装工作的进行。相似地，可以根据所需支撑的柔性屏的面积等参数，确定第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320各自的尺寸。可选地，第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320均可以为矩形或近似矩形的结构，以提升对柔性屏的支撑效果。更进一步地，第一屏幕支撑板310和第 二屏幕支撑板320的结构可以对称设置，以降低整个折叠机构的加工和组装难度。

第四摆臂440的第一端与基部100转动相连，从而使得第四摆臂440可通过其第一端绕基部100转动。第四摆臂440的第二端与第二壳体座220滑动配合，从而在第四摆臂440的转动过程中，使第四摆臂440的第二端与第二壳体座220之间具备相对滑动的能力。对应地，第四摆臂440的第二端与第二屏幕支撑板320可相对滑动、且转动配合，从而在实现第四摆臂440与第二屏幕支撑板320装配连接的同时，借助第四摆臂440的第二端的摆动动作，驱动第二屏幕支撑板320相对于第二壳体座220发生转动。
相似地，为了保证第二壳体座220和第二屏幕支撑板320之间能够相对转动，第二摆臂420的第一端的转动轴线与第四摆臂440的第一端的转动轴线间隔设置，从而随着第二摆臂420和第四摆臂440相对基部100转动的进 行，使第二摆臂420的第二端和第四摆臂440的第二端之间能够发生相对转动，进而使第二屏幕支撑板320相对于第二壳体座220产生转动动作。具体地，第二摆臂420的第一端的转动轴线与第四摆臂440的第一端的转动轴线相互平行，进而能够较好地提高第二摆臂420和第四摆臂440在转动过程中的稳定性。
基于上述结构，折叠机构中的部件之间能够在外力作用下相对运动，从而使折叠机构具有展开状态和折叠状态，其中，外力可以为用户施加于电子设备上的作用力，或者，外力可以为电子设备中内置的驱动电机等部件所提供的驱动作用力，对此，本文不作限制。
在折叠机构处于展开状态下，第一屏幕支撑板310、第二屏幕支撑板320和第三屏幕支撑板330各自的屏幕支撑面共面，且基部100中朝向第三屏幕支撑板330的部分与第三屏幕支撑板330在支撑方向上的间距为第一间距。在折叠机构处于折叠状态下，基部100中朝向第三屏幕支撑板330的部分与第三屏幕支撑板330在支撑方向上的间距为第二间距，且第二间距小于第一间距。
也就是说，在折叠机构自展开状态切换至折叠状态的过程中，第三屏幕支撑板330向靠近基部100的方向运动预设距离，以为与折叠机构配合的柔性屏提供更大的容纳空间；反之，在切换至展开状态的过程中，第三屏幕支撑板330则向背离基部100的方向运动预设距离，从而使第三屏幕支撑板330为与折叠机构配合的柔性屏提供较好的支撑效果。
同时，基于上文中第一壳体座210和第一屏幕支撑板310之间的连接关系，以及第一摆臂410和第三摆臂430之间的装配关系，在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320各自的第一侧边均位于各自的第二侧边之间，也即，第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320中位于外侧的侧边为第二侧边，位于内侧的侧边为第一侧边。对应地，第三屏幕支撑板330则位于第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320之间， 三者共同形成折叠机构的屏幕支撑面，为与折叠机构配合的柔性屏提供支撑作用。
而在折叠机构处于折叠状态下，受折叠机构中各部件之间的连接关系，第一屏幕支撑板310不仅可以随第一壳体座210相对基部100转动，第一屏幕支撑板310还可以相对第一壳体座210转动，从而使第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320形成扩口状结构件，且扩口朝向基部100，此时，第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320各自的第一侧边之间的间距，大于第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320各自的第二侧边之间的间距，这可以进一步扩大柔性屏中被折叠的部分所处的容纳空间的大小，且与第三屏幕支撑板330因靠近基部100所提供的避让空间一并作用，最大化地扩大柔性屏中被折叠部分在被折叠时所具有的容纳空间。
另外，上述电子设备中还设有盖板450，盖板450安装在基部100上，且盖板450设置在基部100背离第三屏幕支撑板330的一侧。并且，在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，盖板450盖设于第一摆臂410的第一端，从而使盖板450至少可以为第一摆臂410提供一定的防护和遮挡作用。
具体地，盖板450可以采用金属或塑料等耐腐蚀且具有一定结构强度的材料制成，盖板450的形状和尺寸等均可以根据第一摆臂410的形状和尺寸对应选定。盖板450可以通过销轴等部件活动连接在基部100上，或者，盖板450亦可以通过焊接或连接件连接等方式固定在基部100上。
本申请实施例提供一种折叠机构及电子设备，如上所述，折叠机构包括基部100、第一壳体座210、第二壳体座220、第一屏幕支撑板310、第二屏幕支撑板320、第三屏幕支撑板330以及摆臂组件，第一壳体座210和基部100通过第一摆臂410转动连接，第二壳体座220通过第二摆臂420与基部100转动连接，第一屏幕支撑板310通过第三摆臂430与基部100滑动且转动连接，第二屏幕支撑板320通过第四摆臂440与基部100滑动且转动连接，且第一摆臂410与第三摆臂430的转动轴线相互间隔，第二摆臂420和第四 摆臂440的转动轴线相互间隔，使得在折叠机构切换至折叠状态时，第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320能够形成扩口朝向基部的扩口状结构，从而为与折叠机构配合的柔性屏中被折叠的部分提供更大的容纳空间；同时，第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100在支撑方向上活动连接，亦使得在折叠机构切换至折叠状态时，第三屏幕支撑板330可以为柔性屏提供避让空间，进一步扩大柔性屏中被折叠的部分所处的容纳空间的大小，从而防止出现柔性屏的折弯处受挤压而发生过度弯折的现象，提升柔性屏的使用寿命。
另外，上述折叠机构中还设置有盖板450，盖板450设置在基部100背离第三屏幕支撑板330的一侧，且盖板450安装在基部100上。在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，盖板450能够盖设第一摆臂410的第一端，在这种情况下，可以为第一摆臂410的第一端提供遮挡防护作用，防止杂物进入第一摆臂410的第一端处，提升第一摆臂410的工作可靠性和稳定性，且可以为第一摆臂410提供一定的防尘防水作用，进而提升第一摆臂410的使用寿命。
进一步地，在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，可以使盖板450与第一摆臂410限位配合，且限制第一摆臂410的第一端向靠近第三屏幕支撑板330所在的方向转动。换句话说，在折叠机构自折叠状态切换至展开状态的过程中，通过使盖板450与第一摆臂410限位配合，可以防止第一摆臂410过度转动，从而造成折叠机构出现过度展开的状态，保证柔性屏不会因被过度拉伸而损坏，提升柔性屏的使用寿命，且提升采用上述折叠机构的电子设备的安全性。
具体地，基于第一摆臂410的转动位置和柔性屏的展开程度等参数的对应关系，可以确定盖板450的具体结构和安装位置，从而使盖板450在安装于基部100上之后，能够为第一摆臂410提供限位作用。更具体地，可以使盖板450与基部100相互固定，以提升盖板450所能提供的限位作用的稳定性。
进一步地，通过增大盖板450的尺寸或者改变盖板450的布设方式等，可以在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，使盖板450一并盖设在第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420各自的第一端上，且使第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420均与盖板450限位配合，进而借助盖板450限制第一摆臂410的第一端和第二摆臂420的第一端向靠近第三屏幕支撑板330的方向转动。在采用这种技术方案的情况下，通过对第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420的同步限制，基本可以保证在柔性屏转动至展开状态时，折叠机构则不会再进一步转动，从而进一步保证折叠结构不会出现过度展开的情况，提升对柔性屏的防护，进而提升柔性屏的使用寿命。
如上所述，盖板450与基部100连接，二者之间的连接方式有多种，可选地，盖板450设有穿孔451，第一摆臂410的第一端设有避让缺口411，通过在基部100上设置螺纹孔，可以借助螺纹连接件组装盖板450和基部100。详细地，盖板450可以通过穿过穿孔451的螺纹连接件与基部100可拆卸地固定连接，这还便于折叠机构后期维护工作的进行；在安装螺纹连接件的过程中，第一摆臂410上的避让缺口411可以为螺纹连接件提供避让作用，一方面保证螺纹连接件安装工作的正常进行，另一方面还可以防止第一摆臂410与螺纹连接件相互干涉，影响第一摆臂410的正常转动。
当然，在盖板450亦能够盖设第二摆臂420的情况下，可以使螺纹连接件装设在第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420之间，从而提升盖板450与基部100之间的连接可靠性，且保证第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420与盖板450之间均能够形成稳定的限位关系。在这种情况下，第二摆臂420亦可以设置有避让缺口。
如上所述，第三摆臂430的第二端能够与第一壳体座210相对滑动。为了提升二者之间的配合可靠性，一种可选实施例是，第一壳体座210开设滑槽211，第三摆臂430的第二端与滑槽211滑动配合，以借助滑槽211提升第三摆臂430和第一壳体座210之间的配合稳定性。当然，在本申请的其他 实施例中，第三摆臂430和第一壳体座210亦可以通过轴孔类结构形成滑动配合关系。
进一步地，滑槽211的内壁开设有避让孔212，第一屏幕支撑板310固定有轨道体510，第三摆臂430的第二端设置有滑动件520，轨道体510穿过避让孔212且至少部分伸至滑槽211内，滑动件520与轨道体510可相对滑动、且转动配合。采用上述较为简单的结构，即可使第三摆臂430的第二端与第一屏幕支撑板310形成可相对滑动、且转动配合的装配要求，这可以降低加工和组装难度。具体地，轨道体510为曲线结构，可以根据滑动件520在随第三摆臂430转动过程中形成的运动轨迹，确定轨道体510中与滑动件520配合的结构的具体参数，从而在第三摆臂430转动的过程中，使滑动件520能够在轨道体510内滑动。上述结构能够充分利用滑槽211的既有结构，并通过在滑槽211的底壁开设避让孔212完成部件间的装配工作，有利于使整体结构更加紧凑。
相似地，亦可以在第二壳体座220开设有与第一壳体座210上结构相似或相同的滑槽211，且使第四摆臂440的第二端与第二壳体座220上的滑槽211滑动配合，以提升第二壳体座220和第四摆臂440之间滑动配合关系的稳定性。
进一步地，第二壳体座220的滑槽211的内壁亦可以开设有与第一壳体座210中结构相似或相同的避让孔212，且通过在第二屏幕支撑板320固定轨道体510，在第四摆臂440的第二端设置滑动件520，使第二屏幕支撑板320上的轨道体510穿过第二壳体座220上的避让孔212且至少部分伸至对应的滑槽211内，保证第二壳体座220上的滑动件520能够稳定地与第二屏幕支撑板320上的轨道体510形成可相对滑动、且转动配合的装配关系。
更具体地，整个折叠机构中，可以使位于基部100第一侧的部分的结构与位于基部100第二侧的部分的结构对称设置，例如，第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320对称设置，第一壳体座210和第二壳体座220对称设 置，第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420对称设置，第三摆臂430和第四摆臂440对称设置，在采用上述技术方案的情况下，一方面可以降低加工和组装难度，另一方面可以提升折叠机构的对称性，进而提升折叠机构的结构可靠性和稳定性，提升采用该折叠机构的电子设备的用户体验。为了便于后文描述，下文均与基部100中相背两侧的结构对称，且以位于基部100第一侧的结构为例，对折叠机构中各部件的具体结构和部件间的连接关系进行详细说明。
可选地，滑动件520具体可以为长杆状结构件，在组装第三摆臂430和第一屏幕支撑板310的过程中，可以预先备置分体设置的滑动件520和第三摆臂430，且先将滑动件520安装至第一屏幕支撑板310上的轨道体510中，之后再将滑动件520与第三摆臂430通过焊接等方式固定为一体，使第三摆臂430和第一屏幕支撑板310之间形成可相对滑动，且转动配合的连接关系。
如上所述，第一摆臂410和基部100之间，以及第二摆臂420和基部100之间均可以采用轴孔配合结构等转动连接机构形成转动配合关系。在本申请的一个具体实施例中，第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420各自的第一端均设有沿第一摆臂410的转动轴向分布的第一转动部和第二转动部，基部100的相背两侧均设有第三转动部110和第四转动部120。其中，各第一转动部均与对应的第三转动部110转动配合，各第二转动部均与对应的第四转动部120转动配合。在通过第一转动部和第二转动部共同作用，使第一摆臂410(和第二摆臂420)与基部100形成转动连接关系的情况下，能提升第一摆臂410(和第二摆臂420)与基部之间转动连接关系的可靠性和稳定性。
并且，通过对第一转动部和第二转动部的位置和结构进行设计，可以保证第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420均与基部100在垂直于基部100的延伸方向的方向上限位配合，以进一步提升第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420与基部100之间的配合稳定性和结构可靠性。
具体地，可以使第一转动部和第二转动部的结构相同，以降低第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420的加工难度。第一转动部可以为设有轴孔或设有穿轴的 圆柱状结构件，对应地，第三转动部110可以为设有穿轴或设有轴孔的圆柱状结构件；同时，可以借助弹性件使穿轴具备内缩的能力，从而在组装第一转动部与第三转动部110的过程中，使穿轴能够插入至对应的轴孔内，以在转动连接第一转动部和第三转动部110的同时，使二者在垂直于基部100的延伸方向的方向上与基部100形成限位配合关系。另外，于第一摆臂410(和/或第二摆臂420)中，第一转动部和第二转动部之间可以设有间隔，或者，第一转动部和第二转动部可以临近设置，此处不作限定。
在本申请的另一实施例中，可选地，第一转动部、第二转动部、第三转动部110和第四转动部120均可以设置有弧形配合件。更具体地，第一转动部和第三转动部110设置有相互对应的弧形配合面，从而使二者之间能够形成转动配合关系；相应地，第二转动部和第四转动部120设置有相互对应的弧形配合面，使第二转动部和第四转动部120之间亦能够形成转动配合关系。当然，第一转动部和第二转动部上的弧形配合面的结构可以相同，亦可以不同，此处不作限定。
同时，为了保证在通过第一转动部和第三转动部110，以及第二转动部和第四转动部120，实现转动连接第一壳体座210和基部100的同时，还能够使第一摆臂410(和第二摆臂420)均可以与基部100在垂直于基部100的延伸方向的方向上形成限位关系，可以使第一转动部的弧形配合面与第二转动部的弧形配合面相背设置。具体来说，如果第一转动部的弧形配合面的弧面朝上，则第二转动部的弧形配合面的弧面则可以朝下。在采用上述技术方案的情况下，通过使第三转动部110与第一转动部配合，且使第四转动部120与第二转动部配合，即可保证第一摆臂410(和第二摆臂420)能够与基部100在垂直于基部100的延伸方向的方向上相互限位。
相应地，在第一摆臂410上的第一转动部和第二转动部采用上述技术方案的情况下，第二摆臂420上的第一转动部和第二转动部亦可以参照上述技术方案设置。当然，设置于第二摆臂420上的第一转动部和第二转动部的尺 寸和位置关系等，可以与设置于第一摆臂410上的第一转动部和第二转动部的尺寸和位置关系等对应相同，亦可以不同。
为了进一步提升第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420与基部100之间配合关系的稳定性，可选地，第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420中的至少一者设置有两个第二转动部，且两个第二转动部之间设有至少一个第一转动部。由于第一转动部和第二转动部对第一摆臂410施加的限位方向相反，从而通过采用上述技术方案，在第一转动部的相背两侧均设置有第二转动部的情况下，可以进一步防止第一摆臂410与基部100之间出现相互倾斜的情况，提升第一摆臂410与基部100之间的配合稳定性。第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420均可以采用上述技术方案，以保证整个折叠机构的稳定性更好。
更进一步地，以第一摆臂410为例，第一摆臂410中，第一转动部设有配合槽，第二转动部设有配合凸块，配合槽和配合凸块均设有弧形配合面。对应地，采用刻蚀或钻加工等方式，可以在基部100上形成具有弧形配合面的配合槽和配合凸块，以使基部100上形成的配合槽和配合凸块作为第三转动部110和第四转动部120各自的至少一部分，以分别与第一转动部和第二转动部对应配合，从而实现第一摆臂410与基部100转动配合的同时，还可以使二者能够在垂直于基部100的延伸方向的方向上相互限位。
在采用上述结构的情况下，为了保证第一摆臂410能够正常地与基部100形成配合关系，需要使各配合槽具有槽口，从而使第一摆臂410中对应的结构自基部100上配合槽的槽口处伸入至配合槽内，与此同时，基部100上的对应的结构亦可以通过第一摆臂410上的配合槽的槽口伸入至配合槽内，实现第一摆臂410和基部100转动连接的目的。
可选地，配合凸块与配合槽的槽口之间的位置关系可以适应性调配。在第一摆臂410中，配合凸块可以设置在配合槽背离其槽口的一侧，而在基部100中，配合凸块则可以设置在配合槽的槽口朝向的一侧。通过采用上述技术方案，极大地降低第三转动部110和第四转动部120在基部100的所占空 间，还可以在一定程度上降低形成第三转动部110和第四转动部120的难度和工作量。
可选地，本申请实施例提供的折叠机构还可以包括第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620，且第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620均转动安装在基部100。具体地，可以在基部100上设置用以安装第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620的安装槽等结构，且将第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620转动安装在安装槽内，使第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620均能够与基部100相互转动。并且，第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620间隔设置，可以尽量防止二者转动过程中相互干扰。
同时，第三摆臂430与第一连接轴610在第一摆臂410的转动方向上限位配合，第四摆臂440与第二连接轴620在前述转动方向上限位配合，从而在第三摆臂430转动时，能够带动第一连接轴610一并转动，且在第四摆臂440转动时，能够带动第二连接轴620一并转动。具体地，第三摆臂430可以套设在第一连接轴610上，且第四摆臂440可以套设在第二连接轴620上，且通过使上述两组部件均对应形成有过盈配合关系，即可使第三摆臂430与第一连接轴610同步转动，且使第四摆臂440与第二连接轴620同步转动。在本申请的另一实施例中，可以使第三摆臂430和第一连接轴610之间通过键连接的方式形成限位配合关系，对应地，可以使第四摆臂440与第二连接轴620之间通过键连接的方式形成限位配合关系，以进一步提升上述限位配合关系的稳定性。
基于上述技术内容，进一步地，第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620之间通过齿轮同步机构连接，齿轮同步机构可以包括两个齿轮，两个齿轮相互啮合，且分别与第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620对应连接，即可使第一连接轴610与第二连接轴620形成传动连接关系。并且，基于第一连接轴610和第一壳体座210之间的连接关系，以及第二连接轴620与第二壳体座220之间的连接关系，使得第一壳体座210和第二壳体座220亦能够通过齿轮同步 机构同步转动。
在采用上述技术方案的情况下，可以保证第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320之间具备同步转动的能力，从而无论前述二者中的哪一者被驱动，均可以通过齿轮同步机构等带动另一者相对基部100转动，保证第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320相对基部100的转动角度始终相同，提升整个折叠机构的综合性能。
在本申请的另一实施例中，可选地，齿轮同步机构包括第一齿轮631、第二齿轮632、设置在第一连接轴610上的第一啮合齿633和设置在第二连接轴620上的第二啮合齿634，第一啮合齿633和第一齿轮631啮合，第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632啮合，第二齿轮632与第二啮合齿634啮合。通过上述技术方案，可以使齿轮同步机构中各部件的直径相对较小，以尽量降低齿轮同步机构在折叠机构中所占用的空间，最终达到提升电子设备内部空间利用率的目的。
具体地，第一连接轴610和第一啮合齿633可以组成齿轮轴，对应地，第二连接轴620和第二啮合齿634亦可以组成齿轮轴，且由于第一壳体座210和第二壳体座220各自相对于基部100的转动角度通常不会大于90°，因而，可以使第一啮合齿633覆盖第一连接轴610上四分之一圈至半圈，对应地，可以使第二啮合齿634覆盖第二连接轴620上四分之一圈至半圈，这基本可以保证第一啮合齿633和第二啮合齿634能够提供可靠的同步作用，且可以降低生产成本。当然，为了最大化地提升齿轮同步机构的可靠性，第一连接轴610的周向上可以完整地覆盖有第一啮合齿633，第二连接轴620的周向上亦可以完整地覆盖有第二啮合齿634。
更具体地，可以在基座上设置安装轴，且使第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632均套设在对应的安装轴上，保证折叠机构工作时，第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632的位置不会发生变化，进而提供稳定可靠的传动作用。或者，齿轮同步机构还可以设置有齿轮支架640，齿轮支架640可以设置有齿轮轴，且可以 通过螺钉等连接件将齿轮支架640安装在基部100上，从而降低基部100的加工难度。当然，齿轮支架640亦可以设置有轴孔，在这种情况下，可以使第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632均为有轴齿轮，也即，二者各自均具备齿轮轴，通过使第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632各自的齿轮轴转动安装至齿轮支架640的轴孔中，亦可以使第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632与基部100形成稳定的装配关系。
在本申请的一个具体实施例中，折叠机构还可以包括第一凸轮套651、第二凸轮套652和弹性件660，第一连接轴610上套设有第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652，第三摆臂430上固定有第一凸轮套651，第二凸轮套652与第一连接轴610在第一摆臂410的转动方向上转动配合，在第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652相对转动的情况下，弹性件660处于拉伸状态或收缩状态。
具体地，第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652的具体结构可以相同，二者扣合设置，且在第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652相对转动的过程中，第一凸轮套651与第二凸轮套652之间的最大间距会大于二者的初始间距(即最小间距)，在这种情况下，弹性件660会被拉伸或被压缩，进而使弹性件660能够向第一凸轮套651和/或第二凸轮套652施加弹性复位作用力，促进第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652恢复至扣合状态，即二者之间间距最小的状态。
通过采用上述技术方案，可以对第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652之间处于扣合状态的相对位置进行设计，使得折叠机构在处于折叠状态和展开状态时，第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652均处于扣合状态，从而只要在折叠机构处于非折叠状态和非展开状态的情况下，就会因第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652产生了相对转动，而导致第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652之间的间距增大，使弹性件660被拉伸或被压缩。因此，通过采用上述技术方案，可以借助弹性件660使折叠机构较为容易地保持展开状态和折叠状态，且防止较小的外力即导致折叠机构的展开状态或折叠状态被破坏，给用户的使用产生不便。
可选地，折叠机构还包括安装件673，安装件673固定在基部100上，具体可以通过焊接或连接件连接等方式，将安装件673固定在基部100上。安装件673设有沿第二转动部的转动轴向相对且固定的第一限位件671和第二限位件672，第一限位件671和第二限位件672之间设置有第一凸轮套651、第二凸轮套652和弹性件660，且弹性件660设置在第二凸轮套652背离第一凸轮套651的一侧。在采用上述技术方案的情况下，第一限位件671和第二限位件672可以提供定位基础的作用，一方面可以提升弹性件660的可靠性，另一方面还可以降低弹性件660的安装难度。
在采用上述技术方案的情况下，第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652之间发生相对转动，即会压缩弹性件660，从而使弹性件660向第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652施加促使二者复位的弹性作用力。为了进一步解决折叠机构保持折叠状态和展开状态难度较大的问题，可以使弹性件660具有预紧力，以在第一凸轮套651与第二凸轮套652相互扣合时，使弹性件660即处于被压缩状态。
具体地，第一凸轮套651与第三摆臂430之间可以通过焊接或一体成型等方式相互连接，且可以使第三摆臂430通过第一凸轮套651与第一连接轴610在第二转动部的转动方向上形成限位配合关系。更具体地，第一凸轮套651与第一连接轴610之间可以通过键连接的方式相互连接，第二凸轮套652的内周面则可以为圆形结构，以保证第二凸轮套652能够正常相对第一连接轴610转动。当然，为了防止在第一连接轴610随第三摆臂430转动的过程中，第二凸轮套652随第一凸轮套651一并随第一连接轴610转动，可以使第二凸轮套652与基部100在第二转动部的转动方向上限位配合。
另外，第一限位件671、第二限位件672和安装件673可以采用一体成型的方式形成，以提升三者之间连接关系的稳定性。第一限位件671和第二限位件672上可以设置配合孔，且使第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620的相背两端分别与第一限位件671和第二限位件672配合。更具体地，可以使配 合孔均为贯穿孔，且使第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620均穿出第一限位件671和第二限位件672之外，之后，借助卡簧674等结构，可以使第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620均能与安装件673形成稳定的转动配合关系。并且，第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632亦可以通过齿轮轴等部件转动安装在第一限位件671或第二限位件672上，以使第一齿轮631和第二齿轮632能够与第一啮合齿633和第二啮合齿634稳定的传动配合，另外，在采用上述技术方案的情况下，可以设置上文提及的齿轮支架640，亦可以不再设置齿轮支架640，此处不作限定。
可选地，第三摆臂430和第四摆臂440均固定有第一凸轮套651，各第一凸轮套651均配设有第二凸轮套652和弹性件660。也就是说，在折叠机构处于展开和折叠状态的情况下，第三摆臂430所在一侧和第四摆臂440所在一侧均可以受到弹性件660的弹性作用，该弹性作用力可以防止折叠机构脱离展开状态和折叠状态，从而提升折叠机构稳定保持展开状态和折叠状态的能力。当然，第三摆臂430和第四摆臂440二者中，均可以设置多组相互配合的第一凸轮套651、第二凸轮套652和弹性件660，以进一步提升折叠机构保持折叠状态和展开状态的能力。
如上所述，可以通过使第二凸轮套652与基部100等部件形成满足需求的限位关系，防止在第一凸轮套651转动时，第二凸轮套652随第一凸轮套651转动，而无法使第一凸轮套651和第二凸轮套652产生轴向运动。基于上述情况，在第三摆臂430和第四摆臂440均配设有第一凸轮套651的情况下，可以在分别与前述两个第一凸轮套651一一对应配合的第二凸轮套652之间设置连接杆653。在这种情况下，一方面可以一并向第一连接轴610和第二连接轴620上分别安装第二凸轮套652，降低组装难度，另一方面，还可以使两个第二凸轮套652具备同步动作的能力，进一步提升使折叠机构保持折叠状态和展开状态的能力。另外，通过连接杆653连接两个第二凸轮套652，使得在设计和组装第二凸轮套652的过程中，无需再单独为第二凸轮套 652配置限位结构，在连接杆653和两个第二凸轮套652的共同作用下，即可使第二凸轮套652能够分别相对第一连接轴610和第二转动轴转动，这基本可以保证第二凸轮套652不会随第一凸轮套651的转动而转动。
为了提升第一壳体座210(和第二壳体座220)和基部100之间连接关系的可靠性，摆臂组件的数量可以为多个，多个摆臂组件沿第一摆臂410的轴向分布，且为了尽量防止摆臂组件之间相互干扰，可以使任意相邻的两个摆臂组件沿前述转动轴向间隔设置。具体地，摆臂组件的数量可以为两个、三个或更多个，且可以使多个摆臂组件中包括两个对称设置的摆臂组件，以保证整个折叠机构具有较为可靠的折叠性能。
如上所述，折叠机构中对应的部件的具体结构可以对称设置，进一步地，在组装完成的折叠机构中，可以使第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420相对，且使第三摆臂430和第四摆臂440相对。具体地，在第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420的结构相互对称的情况下，通过使设置在基部100相背两侧地，且分别与第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420配合第三转动部110和第四转动部120亦互相对应设置，即可使第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420相对地安装基部100上。对应地，第三摆臂430和第四摆臂440的组装过程亦可以参照第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420设计和安装。通过采用上述技术方案，可以极大地提升折叠机构的对称性，进而提升折叠机构的折叠和展开性能，且可以使第一屏幕支撑板310和第二屏幕支撑板320的同步性更好，提升对柔性显示屏的支撑效果。
如上所述，第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100之间能够相对活动，可选地，基部100上设有沿支撑方向凹陷设置的容纳槽130，第三屏幕支撑板330活动地安装在容纳槽130中。在采用上述技术方案的情况下，当折叠机构处于展开状态时，第三屏幕支撑板330可以位于基部100的容纳槽130内，且第三屏幕支撑板330的屏幕支撑面与基部100朝向柔性屏的表面平齐，以共同为柔性屏提供支撑作用；当折叠机构处于折叠状态时，第三屏幕支撑板330向靠近基部100中朝向第三屏幕支撑板330的部分(即上文中的容纳槽130) 运动时，第三屏幕支撑板330可以容纳在容纳槽130内。显然，通过采用上述技术方案，可以使第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100这一组合结构的最大尺寸和最小尺寸相差不大，从而尽量减少电子设备中的空间浪费。当然，在需求不同的情况下，当折叠机构处于展开状态时，第三屏幕支撑板330亦可以自容纳槽130内伸出，且支撑柔性屏，对此，本文不作限定。
进一步地，基部100可以设置有通孔，通孔内穿设有螺纹连接件350，螺纹连接件350与第三屏幕支撑板330固定连接。具体地，可以在第三屏幕支撑板330上设置螺钉座，使螺纹连接件350能够与第三屏幕支撑板330形成固定连接关系。并且，螺纹连接件350的螺帽位于基部100背离第三屏幕支撑板330的一侧，且螺帽与通孔在通孔的轴向限位配合，这可以保证第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100之间的活动范围被限制在螺纹连接件350的长度范围内，且可以防止第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100相互分离。
另外，在螺纹连接件350的作用下，还可以为第三屏幕支撑板330提供一定的导向和限位作用。为了进一步提升第三屏幕支撑板330和基部100之间配合关系的稳定性，第三屏幕支撑板330和基部100中的一者设有导向柱360，另一者设有导向孔140，导向孔140和导向柱360在第三屏幕支撑板330的支撑方向插接配合，从而在导向柱360和螺纹连接件350的共同作用下，基本可以保证第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100之间具有较好的配合稳定性。导向柱360的形状与导向孔140的形状对应，且可以使导向柱360的末端形成有倒角，以降低导向柱360与导向孔140之间的插接难度。导向柱360可以随第三屏幕支撑板330一并形成，导向孔140可以通过钻加工等方式形成在基部100上。导向柱360和导向孔140的数量均可以为多个，多个导向柱360与多个导向孔140一一对应配合，进一步提升第三屏幕支撑板330与基部100之间的配合稳定性。
如上所述，第三屏幕支撑板330在支撑方向上与基部100相当运动的驱动源可以为多种，为了保证第三屏幕支撑板330可以为柔性屏提供可靠的支 撑作用，可选地，在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，第三屏幕支撑板330支撑于第一摆臂410的第一端和第二摆臂420的第一端。也就是说，在第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420相对基部100转动且展平的过程中，第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420能够在某一时间点与第三屏幕支撑板330配合，从而随着第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420继续进行展平动作，使第三屏幕支撑板330能够向背离基部100中与第三屏幕支撑板330相对的部分(如上文提及的容纳槽130)的方向运动，并在第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420展平时，使第三屏幕支撑板330恰好支撑在柔性屏的对应区域。
基于上述实施例，进一步地，在折叠机构自展开状态切换至折叠状态的过程中，为了使第三屏幕支撑板330能够更容易地回复至原位，前述原位为第三屏幕支撑板330向靠近基部100运动预设距离之后时所处的位置，可选地，折叠机构还可以包括弹性复位件340，弹性复位件340具体可以为弹簧或橡胶弹性件660等，弹性复位件340连接在第三屏幕支撑板330和基部100之间。在折叠机构处于展开状态的情况下，弹性复位件340处于拉伸状态，从而当第一摆臂410和第二摆臂420自展平状态产生相对转动时，第三屏幕支撑板330即可在弹性复位件340的作用下，向靠近基部100的方向运动。
在采用上述技术方案的情况下，还可以防止柔性屏在被折叠的过程中与第三屏幕支撑板330相互干涉而受到挤压，提升柔性屏的使用寿命。另外，在第三屏幕支撑板330设有螺纹连接件350的情况下，可以使弹性复位件340套设于螺纹连接件350之外，从而为弹性复位件340提供一定的限位作用，提升弹性复位件340的弹性性能。
基于上述任一实施例提供的折叠机构，本申请实施例还提供一种电子设备，其包括柔性屏、第一壳体、第二壳体和上述任一折叠机构，第一壳体和第一壳体座210固定连接，第二壳体与第二壳体座220固定连接，柔性屏设置在第一壳体、第二壳体、第一屏幕支撑板310、第二屏幕支撑板320和第三屏幕支撑板330上。当然，电子设备还可以包括主板、摄像头、麦克风、 受话器和其他电子器件，考虑文本简洁，本文对此不再详细介绍。
