Description

折叠组件及折叠式显示设备
本申请要求于2022年07月01日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210768377.6、申请名称为“折叠组件及折叠式显示设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及折叠设备技术领域,特别涉及一种折叠组件及折叠式显示设备。
背景技术
随着显示技术的发展,折叠式显示设备由于其在展开状态下能够获得较大的显示面积,而在折叠状态下能够获得更好的便携性,因此愈发受到使用者的青睐。折叠式显示设备包括柔性屏、转轴和两个壳体,两个壳体通过转轴转动连接,柔性屏铺设在两个壳体上。使两个壳体反向摆动,即可实现折叠式显示设备的展开和折叠操作。在折叠式显示设备处于折叠状态时,两个壳体翻转到转轴的同一侧,也即使得转轴位于折叠式显示设备的一侧边缘。在折叠状态下,若折叠式显示设备跌落,在下落过程中易呈现倾斜向下的落态,从而导致折叠式显示设备的角部首先受到撞击,由于转轴位于折叠式显示设备的一侧边缘,因此转轴的一端易首先受到撞击,导致转轴向内塌陷,从而挤压柔性屏使得柔性屏损坏。
为解决上述问题,目前通常有两种解决方式,一种方式是设置更粗的转轴,使得转轴的抗撞击力更强,但是该种解决方式一方面使得整机重量更大,另一方面为了配合转轴的尺寸,整机厚度增加,便携性较差,使用体验降低。另一种方式是在转轴的一端设置圆角,并使得壳体与转轴连接的一侧的圆角增大,以使得在掉落后壳体先于转轴或者壳体和转轴同时受到撞击,以通过壳体分担转轴的撞击力,但是该种设置方式使得壳体两侧的圆角角度不同,导致折叠式显示设备在折叠状态下两侧比例不协调,使用体验降低。
由上可知,目前无法在不改变折叠式显示设备外观的情况下解决转轴在撞击后向内塌陷导致柔性屏损伤的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种折叠组件及折叠式显示设备,此折叠组件和折叠式显示设备均可在一定程度上解决由于转轴受撞击向内塌陷导致柔性屏损伤的问题。
所述技术方案如下:
本申请第一方面提供一种折叠组件,包括:转轴机构和连接机构,
所述转轴机构包括凸块和转轴基体,所述凸块设置在所述转轴基体沿长度方向的端部;
所述连接机构包括两个支撑件,两个所述支撑件分别连接于所述转轴基体沿宽度方向的两侧,两个所述支撑件分别能够相对所述转轴基体转动,以使所述折叠组件在展开状态 和折叠状态之间切换;
所述支撑件靠近所述转轴基体的一侧设置有止挡面,在所述折叠状态,所述凸块与所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
本申请提供的折叠组件能够应用于折叠式显示设备,当将折叠组件应用于折叠式显示设备,则待支撑体为折叠式显示设备中的柔性屏,也即支撑件用于支撑柔性屏。折叠组件用于带动柔性屏在折叠状态和展开状态之间切换。在折叠状态,转轴基体上设置的凸块与支撑件上的止挡面间隔且相对设置,若折叠式显示设备在折叠状态下跌落,则在转轴机构受到撞击后,转轴基体带动凸块向靠近柔性屏方向移动,也即沿转轴基体的厚度方向向前移动,在凸块移动一定距离后,凸块与止挡面接触。一方面,止挡面阻止凸块继续向靠近柔性屏方向移动,从而对于柔性屏起到一定的保护作用;另一方面,通过凸块与止挡面的接触,使得转轴机构受到的撞击力传递至支撑件,从而通过支撑件将撞击力进一步分散,减少传递至柔性屏的撞击力,以保护柔性屏。
由于在折叠式显示设备跌落且为转轴机构首先受到撞击时,止挡面阻止转轴机构继续向靠近柔性屏方向移动,且通过支撑件对于撞击力进行分散吸收,减小可能传递至柔性屏的撞击力,因此可在一定程度上解决转轴机构导致的柔性屏损伤问题。
在一些实现方式中,所述支撑件包括支撑基体和支撑块,所述支撑基体连接于所述转轴基体沿宽度方向的一侧,且所述支撑基体能够相对所述转轴基体转动;所述支撑块设置于所述支撑基体,所述支撑块设置于所述支撑基体靠近所述转轴基体的一侧,所述支撑块的一侧面为所述止挡面。
在一些实现方式中,所述转轴基体包括承托面,所述承托面用于承托待支撑体,所述凸块设置于所述转轴基体的所述承托面。
在一些实现方式中,所述转轴基体于长度方向上的两端分别设置有一个所述凸块,各所述支撑件于长度方向上的两端均设置有所述止挡面,在所述折叠状态,每个所述凸块均与两个所述支撑件的止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
在一些实现方式中,所述转轴基体沿长度方向的两端分别设置有一个所述凸块,两个所述支撑件中,一者在所述转轴基体的长度方向的一端设置有一个所述止挡面,另一者在所述转轴基体的长度方向的另一端设置有一个所述止挡面;在所述折叠状态,一个所述凸块与一个所述支撑件的所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,另一个所述凸块与另一个所述支撑件的所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
在一些实现方式中,所述转轴基体沿长度方向的至少一端设置有两个所述凸块,两个所述凸块沿所述转轴基体的宽度方向间隔设置,两个所述支撑件均在所述转轴基体的长度方向上与所述凸块对应的端部设置有所述止挡面;在所述折叠状态,一个所述凸块与一个所述支撑件的所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,另一个所述凸块与另一个所述支撑件的所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
在一些实现方式中,所述凸块设置于所述转轴基体沿宽度方向的侧面,所述支撑件设置有凹槽,所述凹槽的一侧内壁构成所述止挡面;在所述折叠状态,所述凸块位于所述凹槽内且与所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
在该种设置方式中,由于凸块设置在转轴基体的沿宽度方向的侧面,因此凸块的设置不会增加转轴机构的厚度,使得转轴机构的厚度更小。
在一些实现方式中,所述转轴机构还包括装饰件,所述装饰件安装在所述转轴基体的外侧。
在该种设置方式中,由于装饰件安装在转轴基体的外侧,因此可利用装饰件提高转轴机构的美观度。
在一些实现方式中,所述装饰件具有容置腔,所述转轴基体的至少部分结构位于所述容置腔内,且所述凸块的至少部分结构位于所述容置腔外。
在该种设置方式中,通过在装饰件的内部设置容置腔,使得装饰件对于转轴基体的包覆范围相对更大,且使得装饰件与转轴基体的整体结构的厚度相对更小。
在一些实现方式中,所述转轴基体包括主体和连接体,所述主体沿长度方向的端部设置有所述连接体,所述凸块设置于所述连接体,所述连接体的厚度大于所述主体的厚度。
由于凸块连接在连接体上,而连接体的相对厚度更厚,因此在凸块设置处,转轴基体的结构刚性更强,抗撞击力更强。
在一些实现方式中,所述装饰件沿在所述转轴基体的长度方向的端部设置有托槽,所述连接体限位于所述托槽内,所述凸块沿所述转轴基体的厚度方向凸出于所述托槽外。
在该种设置方式中,一方面,通过托槽对于连接体进行限位,另一方面,将厚度相对较厚的连接体放置在托槽内,可使得装饰件与转轴基体的整体结构的厚度相对较小,便于应用于厚度相对较小的折叠式显示设备中。
在一些实现方式中,所述止挡面和/或所述凸块设置有缓冲结构,在所述折叠状态,所述缓冲结构位于所述止挡面与所述凸块之间。
通过上述设置方式,利用缓冲结构可对于凸块传递向止挡面的撞击力进行一定程度的缓冲,减小设置有止挡面的支撑件受到的撞击力,提高折叠组件的抗撞击能力。
在一些实现方式中,所述缓冲结构包括柔性缓冲垫。
柔性缓冲垫通过其自身柔性特性,在凸块向止挡面移动过程中,柔性缓冲垫在凸块与止挡面的挤压下形变,从而吸收部分撞击力。
在一些实现方式中,所述缓冲结构安装于所述凸块,所述缓冲结构包括缓冲板和弹性体,所述缓冲板与所述凸块在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,所述弹性体位于所述缓冲板与所述凸块之间,且所述弹性体分别与所述缓冲板与所述凸块连接,在所述折叠状态,所述缓冲板与所述止挡面在所述转轴基体的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
通过上述设置方式,在凸块向止挡面方向移动过程中,缓冲板首先与止挡面接触,缓冲板的设置可增加与止挡面之间的接触面积,弹性体可压缩变形以吸收部分撞击力。且在撞击结束后,弹性体可通过自身弹性推动转轴基体向远离柔性屏方向移动,以便于转轴基体复位。
本申请第二方面提供一种折叠式显示设备,包括:柔性屏和如上述任意一个实现方式提供的折叠组件,所述柔性屏铺设于所述折叠组件中的两个支撑件,且覆盖于所述转轴基体的承托面。
本申请提供的折叠式显示设备由于具有上述折叠组件,因此在折叠式显示设备处于折叠状态跌落时,若转轴机构首先受到撞击时,折叠机构中的止挡面阻止转轴机构继续向靠近柔性屏方向移动,且通过支撑件对于撞击力进行分散吸收,减小可能传递至柔性屏的撞击力,因此可在一定程度上解决转轴机构导致的柔性屏损伤问题。

为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请的实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
应当理解的是,本申请提及的“多个”是指两个或两个以上。在本申请的描述中, 除非另有说明,“/”表示或的意思,比如,A/B可以表示A或B;本文中的“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,比如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,为了便于清楚描述本申请的技术方案,采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。
下面对本申请实施例提供的折叠组件及折叠式显示设备进行详细地解释说明。在本申请的各附图中,带有箭头的引线均指向器件的表面,带有圆点的引线均指向器件或区域本身。
图1为本实施例提供的折叠组件中转轴基体110、凸块120与其中一个支撑件130的示意图,由于两个支撑件130均显示在图中会将转轴基体110的大部分结构遮挡,因此只保留了一个支撑件130,两个支撑件130相对于转轴基体110对称分布。
如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供了一种折叠组件,包括转轴机构和连接机构,其中:转轴机构包括凸块120和转轴基体110,凸块120至少设置在转轴基体110沿长度方向的端部。连接机构包括两个支撑件130,两个支撑件130分别连接在转轴基体110沿宽度方向的两侧,两个支撑件130分别能够相对转轴基体110转动,以使折叠组件在展开状态和折叠状态之间切换。在展开状态,两个支撑件130分设于转轴基体110在宽度方向的两侧,在折叠状态,两个支撑件130转动至转轴基体110的厚度方向上的一侧。支撑件130靠近转轴基体的一侧设置有止挡面131,在折叠状态,凸块120与止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
凸块120的数量可以为一个或多个,当凸块120的数量为一个时,凸块120设置在沿转轴基体110的长度方向的其中一端。当凸块120的数量为两个时,在转轴基体110沿长度方向的两端各设置有一个凸块120;或者,两个凸块120均设置在转轴基体110沿长度方向的同一端。
在两个支撑件130中,可仅在一个支撑件130上设置止挡面131,也可在两个支撑件130上均设置有止挡面131。当仅在一个支撑件130上设置止挡面131时,止挡面131的数量与凸块120的数量相等,且一一对应设置,也即在折叠状态,一个凸块120仅与一个止挡面131转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。当两个支撑件130上均设置有止挡面131时,两个支撑件130上设置的止挡面131的数量可以相等也可以不等。两个支撑件130上的止挡面131的数量之和大于或等于凸块120的数量。举例来说,当凸块120的数量为一个时,两个支撑件130上可分别设置有一个止挡面131,也即止挡面131的数量和为两个。在折叠状态,一个凸块120分别与两个止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。若两个支撑件130分别安装在转轴基体110的左右两侧,则在折叠状态,左侧的支撑件130上的止挡面131与凸块120的左侧部分区域在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,而右侧的支撑件130上的止挡面131与凸块的右侧部分区域在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。
也即是说,两个支撑件130可均设置有止挡面131,或者,一个支撑件130上设置有止挡面131,另一个支撑件130上没有设置止挡面131。凸块120与止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置以便于支撑件130相对于转轴机构转动, 在折叠状态,凸块120与对应的止挡面131之间的间隔为0.1mm-0.5mm,例如间隔可以为0.1mm、0.15mm、0.2mm、0.3mm、0.35mm或0.5mm等。
在本实施例中描述的各结构时所述的长度方向、宽度方向和厚度方向均以转轴基体110的长度方向、宽度方向和厚度方向为基准。如图2所示,将转轴基体110的长度方向称为上下方向,转轴基体110沿长度方向的两端分别为上端和下端。两个支撑件130在展开状态时分别位于转轴基体110的左右两侧,左右方向也即转轴基体110的宽度方向。转轴基体110的厚度方向称为前后方向,在折叠状态时两个支撑件130均位于转轴基体110的前侧,与前侧相背离的一侧为转轴基体110的后侧。则在折叠状态,止挡面131位于凸块120的前侧,以使得凸块120向前移动后将与止挡面131相接触。
折叠组件能够应用于折叠式显示设备,当将折叠组件应用于折叠式显示设备,则支撑件130用于支撑柔性屏,柔性屏铺设在两个支撑件130上,且被两个支撑件130支撑于转轴基体110沿厚度方向的前侧,转轴基体的前侧面为承托面。折叠组件用于带动柔性屏在折叠状态和展开状态之间切换。在折叠状态,转轴基体110上设置的凸块120与支撑件130上的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔且相对设置,若折叠式显示设备在折叠状态下跌落,则在转轴机构受到撞击后,转轴基体110带动凸块120向靠近柔性屏方向移动,也即沿转轴基体110的厚度方向向前移动,在凸块120移动一定距离后,凸块120与止挡面131接触。一方面,止挡面131阻止凸块120继续向靠近柔性屏方向移动,从而对于柔性屏起到一定的保护作用;另一方面,通过凸块120与止挡面131的接触,使得转轴机构受到的撞击力传递至支撑件130,从而通过支撑件130将撞击力进一步分散,减少传递至柔性屏的撞击力,以保护柔性屏。
由于在折叠式显示设备跌落且为转轴机构首先受到撞击时,止挡面131阻止转轴机构继续向靠近柔性屏方向移动,且通过支撑件130对于撞击力进行分散吸收,减小可能传递至柔性屏的撞击力,因此可在一定程度上解决转轴机构导致的柔性屏损伤问题。
此外,本实施例提供的折叠组件除应用在折叠式显示设备中,还可应用在冰箱、柜子、门等具有可折叠结构的家具家电中。当折叠组件应用在冰箱中,则一个支撑件130与冰箱的箱体连接,另一个支撑件130与冰箱门连接,折叠组件能够提高冰箱门与箱体的连接处的抗撞击能力。当折叠组件应用在柜子中,则一个支撑件130与柜子的柜体连接,另一个支撑件130与柜子的柜门连接,折叠组件能够提高柜体与柜门的连接处的抗撞击能力。当折叠组件应用在门中,则一个支撑件130与门框连接,另一个支撑件130与门体连接,折叠组件能够提高门体与门框的连接处的抗撞击能力。
在下文中,均以折叠组件应用在折叠式显示设备为例进行进一步描述。
如图2至图4所示,在一个具体实施方式中,支撑件130包括支撑块132,支撑块132的一个侧面为止挡面131。具体地,在折叠组件处于折叠状态时,支撑块132朝向凸块120的一侧的侧面即为止挡面131。
如图4所示,支撑件130还包括支撑基体134,支撑基体134连接在转轴基体110的宽度方向的一侧。示例性地,两个支撑件130中,一个支撑件130的支撑基体134连接在转轴基体110的左侧,另一个支撑件130的支撑基体134连接在转轴基体110 的右侧。支撑基体134与转轴基体110可转动地连接,支撑块132设置在支撑基体134上靠近转轴基体110的一侧,在一种可行设置方式中,支撑块132与支撑基体134可为一体成型制造工艺制备而成的一体结构。当然,在其他设置方式中,支撑块132可与支撑基体134为分体结构,并可通过螺栓连接、粘接等连接方式固定连接。
如图4所示,在一种可行的设置方式中,止挡面131为弧形面,请继续参阅图4,凸块120的前侧面也可设置为弧形面,如此设置可增加凸块120与止挡面131的接触面积。可选地,止挡面131向支撑基体134方向延伸,止挡面131最终与支撑件130衔接。如此设置,支撑块132与支撑基体134之间的过渡面也为弧形面,也即支撑块132与支撑基体134之间为弧形过渡,在凸块120撞击支撑块132时,可避免支撑块132与支撑基体134之间形成应力集中区。
转轴基体110的前侧面为承托面,用于承托待支撑体,当将折叠组件应用于折叠式显示设备时,待支撑体即为柔性屏。也即是说,在折叠式显示设备中,柔性屏与转轴基体110的承托面在转轴基体110的厚度方向上相对设置。转轴基体110的承托面可直接与柔性屏接触,或者,在转轴基体110的承托面安装有其他构件以使得承托面对于柔性屏起到间接支撑作用。示例性地,转轴机构还包括铰链结构,支撑件130分别通过铰链结构与转轴基体110可转动地连接。铰链结构安装于转轴基体110的承托面。
如图4所示,在一些实现方式中,凸块120设置于转轴基体110的承托面,且凸块120向前凸出设置。在该种设置方式中,凸块120与转轴基体110的轴线之间的距离相对更近,或者,凸块120位于转轴基体110的轴线所在位置的前侧。在转轴基体110受到撞击时,其靠近于轴线所在位置受到较大撞击力的可能性更大。而在转轴靠近于轴线所在位置受到撞击时,由于凸块120位于靠近于转轴基体110轴线或者在轴线前侧的位置,因此撞击力传递到凸块120的速度更快,止挡面131接收的撞击力更大,因此通过止挡面131对于凸块120进行止挡能够更为有效地防止转轴机构向前侧移动。
如图5和图6所示,在折叠状态,止挡面131位于凸块120的前侧,且止挡面131与凸块120在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。在支撑组件从折叠状态向展开状态转化时,随着支撑件130的转动,止挡面131逐渐从凸块120的前侧移开。如图7和图8所示,在展开状态,止挡面131位于凸块120的左侧或右侧。具体地,若止挡面131设置在左侧的支撑件130上,则展开状态时止挡面131位于凸块120的左侧。若止挡面131设置在右侧的支撑件130上,则展开状态时止挡面131位于凸块120的右侧。
如图9和图10所示,在一些实现方式中,转轴机构还包括装饰件140,装饰件140安装在转轴基体110的外侧。装饰件140能够提高应用有折叠组件的设备的美观度。可选地,装饰件140与转轴基体110为不同材料制成。具体地,装饰件140至少包覆在转轴基体110的后侧。示例性地,装饰件140可仅位于转轴基体110的后侧。或者,如图6所示,装饰件140将转轴基体110的左侧、后侧和右侧均包覆在内。该种设置方式可减少甚至避免转轴基体110漏出到应用有折叠组件的设备的外侧。
在该种设置方式中,由于装饰件140安装在转轴基体110的外侧,因此可利用装 饰件140提高转轴机构的美观度,而转轴基体110则可采用强度更强、刚度更大的材料制成,而无需考虑其美观度。示例性地,转轴基体110采用高强钢制造,装饰件140采用铝合金材料制造。值得说明的是,高强钢是相对碳素结构钢而言,一般是以Q235(碳钢)为界的,通常把低合金结构钢称为高强钢,即强度在Q295以上的结构钢为高强钢。采用高强钢制造转轴基体110,使得转轴基体110的刚度更高,抗摔性能更好。凸块120可选用与转轴基体110相同的材质制造。采用铝合金材料制造装饰件140,便于实现外观造型,提高应用有折叠组件的设备的美观度。
装饰件140与支撑件130之间可为固定连接,也可为可拆卸连接。示例性地,装饰件140与支撑件130之间可通过螺栓连接。或者,装饰件140与支撑件130之间也可为粘接、卡合连接、焊接等方式连接。
如图10所示,在一些实现方式中,装饰件140具有容置腔141,转轴基体110的至少部分结构位于容置腔141内,且凸块120的至少部分结构位于容置腔141外。在该种设置方式中,通过在装饰件140的内部设置容置腔141,使得装饰件140对于转轴基体110的包覆范围相对更大,且使得装饰件140与转轴基体110的整体结构的厚度相对更小。
示例性地,装饰件140在前侧面设置有容置腔141,且容置腔141的开口位于容置腔141的前侧。在安装的过程中,将转轴基体110从前向后放置到容置腔141内,使得转轴基体110完全位于容置腔141内,而凸块120伸出于容置腔141的开口。
在一种可选实施方式中,转轴基体110可为板状结构,凸块120安装在板状结构的前侧。或者,如图10和图11所示,在另一种可选实施方式中,转轴基体110包括主体111和连接体112,连接体112设置在主体111沿长度方向的端部,凸块120设置于连接体112。举例来说,连接体112的数量为一个,且设置在主体111沿长度方向的其中一端,在连接体112上可仅设置一个凸块120,也可间隔设置有两个凸块120,两个凸块120沿连接体112的宽度方向间隔设置。在另一个示例中,连接体112的数量为两个,两个连接体112分别设置在主体111的两端,两个连接体112均设置有凸块120。两个连接体112上设置的凸块120的数量可以相同也可以不同,例如一个连接体112上设置有一个凸块120,另一个连接体112上设置有两个凸块120;或者每个连接体112上都设置有一个凸块120,也即转轴基体110上的凸块120的总数为两个;或者每个连接体112上都设置有两个凸块120,也即转轴基体110上的凸块120的总数为四个。
在图10和图11中,主体111沿长度方向的两端分别设置有连接体112,两个连接体112上分别设置有一个凸块120,连接体112的厚度大于主体111的厚度。由于凸块120连接在连接体112上,而连接体112的相对厚度更厚,因此在凸块120设置处,转轴基体110的结构刚性更强,抗撞击力更强。
在图10中,主体111为条形板状结构,主体111的上下两端分别设置有连接体112,在两个连接体112上分别设置有凸块120。连接体112在宽度方向上的长度小于主体111在宽度方向上的长度,或者说,连接体112在左右方向上的长度小于主体111在左右方向上的长度。凸块120在宽度方向上的长度小于连接体112在宽度方向上的长度,或者说,凸块120在左右方向上的长度小于连接体112在左右方向上的长度。 在图11中,主体111的上下两端分别设置有连接体112,连接体112的承托面向前凸出设置有凸块120。凸块120的前侧面所处水平面位于主体111的前侧面所处水平面的上方,连接体112的后侧面所处水平面位于主体111的后侧面所处水平面的下方。
如图12和图13所示,在一些实现方式中,装饰件140沿转轴基体110的长度方向的端部设置有托槽142,连接体112被限位于托槽142内,托槽142对于连接体112起到一定的限位作用。凸块120沿转轴基体110的厚度方向凸出至托槽142外侧,也即是说,凸块120的前侧面位于托槽142的外侧。例如,凸块120沿转轴基体110的厚度方向凸出至托槽142的外侧。在该种设置方式中,将厚度相对较厚的连接体112放置在托槽142内,可使得装饰件140与转轴基体110的整体结构的厚度相对较小,便于应用于厚度相对较小的折叠式显示设备中,并且,使得装饰件140与转轴基体110的整体结构的长度也相对较小。示例性地,在图13中,在装饰件140的前后两端分别设置有一个托槽142,容置腔141位于两个托槽142之间。
在一种具体实现方式中,装饰件140可仅设置有容置腔141而不设置有托槽142,也可仅设置有托槽142而不设置有容置腔141。可选地,如图13所示,装饰件140同时设置有容置腔141和托槽142。装饰件140设置有隔板143,隔板143将托槽142与容置腔141分隔开。如图13所示,当托槽142的数量为两个时,隔板143的数量为两个。在转轴基体110与装饰件140装配过程中,主体111位于两个隔板143之间,隔板143对于主体111沿长度方向的两端具有承托作用,连接体112伸入托槽142后,两个连接体112分别位于两个隔板143的外侧,隔板143对于连接体112起到长度方向的限位作用。图13中示出的具有两个托槽142的装饰件适配于具有两个连接体112的转轴基体110(转轴基体110如图11所示)。
图14示出一种支撑件与转轴机构在折叠状态时的相对位置关系,垂直于纸面方向即为转轴基体110的长度方向,在图14中仅展示了转轴基体110的下端设置的凸块120与支撑件130中止挡面131的相对位置关系。如图14所示,在本申请的一个实施例中,两个支撑件130均设置有两个止挡面131,转轴基体110沿长度方向的两端分别设置有一个凸块120,也即转轴基体110上共设置有两个凸块120,图14中示出的是位于转轴基体110的下端设置的凸块120。在折叠状态,位于转轴基体110的下端的凸块120的前侧面的左部区域与左侧的支撑件130的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,该凸块120的前侧面的右部区域与右侧的支撑件130的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。位于转轴基体110的上端的凸块120的前侧面的左部区域与左侧的支撑件130的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,该凸块120的前侧面的右部区域与右侧的支撑件130的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。示例性地,两个支撑件130的结构相同,且相对于转轴基体110对称设置。两个支撑件130的上端和下端均设置有一个止挡面131,也即每个支撑件130上均设置有两个止挡面131,而两个支撑件130上止挡面131的数量和为四。在转轴基体110的上下两端均设置有一个凸块120,也即是说,两个支撑件130的上端的止挡面131均与转轴基体110上端的同一个凸块120间隔且相对设置,两个支撑件130的下端的止挡面131均与转轴基体110下端的同一个凸块120在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔且相对设置。由于一个凸块120要与两个 止挡面131相对,因此凸块120的宽度相对更长。在转轴机构受到撞击后,一个凸块120能够与两个止挡面131接触,以分别通过两个止挡面131将撞击力传递至两个支撑件130。在一种实施方式中,两个支撑件130的上下两端均设置有支撑块132,止挡面131形成于支撑块132。
图15示出另一种支撑件与转轴机构在折叠状态时的相对位置关系,垂直于纸面方向即为转轴基体110的长度方向,在图15中仅展示了转轴基体110的下端设置的凸块120与支撑件130中止挡面131的相对位置关系。如图15所示,在另一个实施例中,两个支撑件130分别设置有一个止挡面131,转轴基体110的两端分别设置有一个凸块120,也即是说,转轴基体110上设置有两个凸块120,而两个支撑件130上共设置有两个止挡面131。具体地,在一个支撑件130沿转轴基体110的长度方向的一端设置有一个止挡面131,而在另一个支撑件130沿转轴基体110的长度方向上的另一端设置有一个止挡面131。在折叠状态,一个凸块120与一个支撑件130的止挡面131间隔相对设置,另一个凸块120与另一个支撑件130的止挡面131间隔相对设置。示例性地,以图15中示出的一端为下端,左侧的支撑件130的下端未设置有止挡面131,右侧的支撑件130的下端设置有止挡面131。由于一个支撑件130仅设置一个止挡面131,因此左侧的支撑件130的上端设置有止挡面131,而右侧的支撑件130的上端未设置有止挡面131。在转轴基体110的上端的左侧设置有凸块120,下端的右侧设置有凸块120。如此设置,在转轴机构的上端受到撞击时,其通过左侧的支撑件130实现止挡操作,并通过左侧的支撑件130分散撞击力。在转轴机构的下端受到撞击时,其通过右侧的支撑件130实现止挡操作,并通过右侧的支撑件130分散撞击力。在该种设置方式中,由于在转轴基体110的上下两端的凸块120仅用于与其中一个支撑件130上的止挡面131相对,因此凸块120在宽度相对更小,也即使得转轴机构的整体重量更小。
图16示出一种支撑件与转轴机构在折叠状态时的相对位置关系,垂直于纸面方向即为转轴基体110的长度方向,在图16中仅展示了转轴基体110的下端设置的凸块120与支撑件130中止挡面131的相对位置关系。如图16所示,在又一个实施例中,转轴基体110沿长度方向的至少一端设置有两个凸块120,两个凸块120在转轴基体110的宽度方向间隔设置。也即是说,可仅在转轴基体110沿长度方向的一端设置有两个凸块120,而在转轴基体110沿长度方向的另一端,可仅设置一个凸块120,也可设置有两个沿转轴基体110宽度方向间隔设置的凸块120,或者,也可不设置有凸块120。在图16中,转轴基体110的两端均沿宽度方向间隔设置有两个凸块120,两个支撑件130均在转轴基体110的长度方向上与凸块120对应的端部设置有止挡面131。在折叠状态,位于转轴基体110同一端的两个凸块120中,一个凸块120与一个支撑件130的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,另一个凸块120与另一个支撑件130的止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。在该种设置方式中,可根据支撑件130自身的结构设置需求选择止挡面131的设置位置,并根据止挡面131的设置位置布设与该止挡面131配合的凸块120在转轴基体110上的位置。
图17示出一种支撑件与转轴机构在折叠状态时的相对位置关系,垂直于纸面方向 即为转轴基体110的长度方向,在图17中仅展示了转轴基体110的下端设置的凸块120与支撑件130中止挡面131的相对位置关系。如图17所示,在其他实施例中,凸块120设置于转轴基体110沿宽度方向的侧面且沿宽度方向延伸,例如可将凸块120设置在转轴基体110的左侧面和/或右侧面,支撑件130对应于凸块120设置有凹槽133,凹槽133的一侧内壁构成止挡面131。在折叠状态,凸块120位于凹槽133内且与止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。在该种设置方式中,由于凸块120设置在转轴基体110的沿宽度方向的侧面,因此凸块120的设置不会增加转轴机构的厚度,使得转轴机构的厚度更小。示例性地,在图17中,转轴基体110的左侧面的端部和右侧面的端部均设置有凸块120,左侧面的凸块120向左延伸设置,右侧面的凸块120向右延伸设置。在左侧的支撑件130上设置有开口朝右的凹槽133,在右侧的支撑件130上设置有开口朝左的卡槽。图17所示状态为折叠状态,在折叠状态时,左侧的凸块120位于左侧的支撑件130的凹槽133中,右侧的凸块120位于右侧的支撑件130的凹槽133中。
在一些实现方式中,止挡面131和/或凸块120设置有缓冲结构,在折叠状态,缓冲结构位于止挡面131与凸块120之间。通过上述设置方式,利用缓冲结构可对于凸块120传递向止挡面131的撞击力进行一定程度的缓冲,减小设置有止挡面131的支撑件130受到的撞击力,提高折叠组件的抗撞击能力。缓冲结构可通过自身弹性形变、溃缩变形等特性进一步吸收撞击力,以减小由转轴机构向支撑件130传递的撞击力。
如图18所示,在一种具体实现方式中,缓冲结构包括柔性缓冲垫151。柔性缓冲垫151通过其自身柔性特性,在凸块120向止挡面131移动过程中,柔性缓冲垫151在凸块120与止挡面131的挤压下形变,从而吸收部分撞击力。在图18中,柔性缓冲垫151设置在凸块120的前侧面,在其他可行实施方式中,柔性缓冲垫151可设置在止挡面131。柔性缓冲垫151与凸块120或止挡面131之间的连接方式可为粘接。柔性缓冲垫151可为海绵、硅胶、橡胶等材料制成的片状结构。
在另一种可行实施方式中,如图19所示,缓冲结构安装于凸块120,缓冲结构包括缓冲板152和弹性体153,缓冲板152与凸块120在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置,弹性体153位于缓冲板152与凸块120之间,且弹性体153分别与缓冲板152与凸块120连接,在折叠状态,缓冲板152与止挡面131在转轴基体110的厚度方向上间隔相对设置。通过上述设置方式,在凸块120向止挡面131方向移动过程中,缓冲板152首先与止挡面131接触,缓冲板152的设置可增加与止挡面131之间的接触面积,弹性体153可压缩变形以吸收部分撞击力。且在撞击结束后,弹性体153可通过自身弹性推动转轴基体110向远离柔性屏方向移动,以便于转轴基体110复位。在图19中,弹性体153具体为弹簧,在缓冲板152与凸块120之间设置有多个弹簧。弹性体153还可为橡胶柱、弹片等其他具有弹性的结构。
本实施例还提供了一种折叠式显示设备,包括:柔性屏和如上述任意一个实施例提供的折叠组件,柔性屏铺设于折叠组件中的两个支撑件130,并覆盖在转轴基体110的承托面。可选地,凸块120可位于柔性屏在转轴基体110的长度方向上的两侧,或者说,至少一个凸块120位于柔性屏在转轴基体110的长度方向的一侧,至少一个凸块120位于柔性屏在转轴基体110的长度方向上的另一侧。如此设置,凸块120与柔 性屏在前后方向上并不相对,或者说是交错分布。在转轴机构受到冲击时,凸块120向前移动后并不会挤压到柔性屏。
本实施例提供的折叠式显示设备由于具有上述折叠组件,因此在折叠式显示设备处于折叠状态跌落时,若转轴机构首先受到撞击时,折叠机构中的止挡面131阻止转轴机构继续向靠近柔性屏方向移动,且通过支撑件130对于撞击力进行分散吸收,减小可能传递至柔性屏的撞击力,因此可在一定程度上解决转轴机构导致的柔性屏损伤问题。
本实施例提供的折叠式显示设备包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、电纸书、智能手表等具有柔性显示屏且可折叠的电子设备。
当折叠式显示设备为手机时,两个支撑件130可分别为手机的两侧壳体,壳体包括中框,支撑件具体可为壳体中的中框。或者,在另一种设置方式中,支撑件130独立于壳体,两个支撑件130可分别与手机中的两个中框一一对应连接。
最后应说明的是:以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何在本申请揭露的技术范围内的变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
