Description

可折叠设备
本申请要求于2023年03月03日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202310239702.4、申请名称为“可折叠设备”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
本申请实施例涉及电子设备技术领域,特别涉及一种可折叠设备。
背景技术
随着智能手机或平板电脑等电子设备技术的发展,电子设备的功能越来越多。电子设备的显示屏的面积越大,可使电子设备的一些功能的使用体验更佳。但电子设备的显示屏的面积较大时,会导致电子设备整体尺寸较大,造成电子设备携带不便利。为使显示屏面积较大的电子设备携带更加便利,在一些电子设备中,显示屏可采用柔性屏,并将电子设备制成可折叠设备。
可折叠设备可以包括柔性屏、转轴机构以及分别在转轴机构的两侧与转轴机构转动连接的两个结构件,两个结构件均与柔性屏固定连接,柔性屏可以在两个结构件的带动下进行折叠和展平,以使可折叠设备可在折叠状态和展平状态之间切换。为对柔性屏的边缘进行遮挡,相关技术中,可折叠设备还可以包括设于结构件边缘的侧盖以及设于转轴机构端部的遮挡组件,遮挡组件的两端分别位于两端的侧盖与柔性屏之间,并被侧盖遮盖,侧盖和遮挡组件相配合,以遮挡柔性屏的边缘。
然而,在相关技术中,存在可折叠设备切换到折叠状态时遮挡组件的部分易从侧盖的内侧边脱出的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种可折叠设备,通过对遮挡组件的遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分的形状进行改进,使得遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分不易向遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动、或者遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分与侧盖的内侧边之间预留出供遮挡件移动的间隔,以使遮挡件不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出。
本申请第一方面提供一种可折叠设备,包括结构件、转轴机构、柔性屏、侧盖以及遮挡组件。结构件与转轴机构转动连接,柔性屏设于结构件和转轴机构的表面。结构件的边缘设有侧盖,柔性屏位于侧盖与结构件之间,侧盖遮盖柔性屏的部分边缘。转轴机构的端部设有遮挡组件,遮挡组件包括连接件和遮挡件,连接件与转轴机构的端部固定连接,遮挡件位于柔性屏的出光侧。遮挡件包括相连接的第一段和第二段,第一段位于侧盖与柔性屏之间,侧盖遮盖第一段,第二段与连接件固定连接。可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构的轴向上,第一段的内侧边与侧盖的内侧边之间具有第一间隔。可折叠设备在展平 状态与折叠状态之间相互转换时,在转轴机构的轴向上,第一间隔用于供第一段在侧盖的内侧边与侧盖的外侧边之间移动。其中,侧盖的外侧边为侧盖在转轴机构的轴向背离柔性屏的中部的侧边,侧盖的内侧边为侧盖在转轴机构的轴向朝向柔性屏的中部的侧边,第一段的内侧边为第一段在转轴机构的轴向朝向柔性屏的中部的侧边。
本申请实施例的可折叠设备,第一段的内侧边与侧盖的内侧边之间预留出了第一间隔,第一间隔可在遮挡件弯折时供第一段移动,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分即便朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,第一段也不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,遮挡件不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于第一段不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,第一段不易因脱离侧盖的盖压而发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件恢复至展平时,第一段会朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动,在第一段朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因第一段翘起而与侧盖的内侧边抵触造成的遮挡件损坏的问题。再者,因在第一段的内侧边与侧盖的内侧边之间预留出了第一间隔,可以允许第一段朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动一定的距离,在遮挡件厚度较小、强度较低时,第一段也不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件的厚度较薄,也可以使第一段不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出。
在一种可能的实施方式中,转轴机构的两侧均转动连接有结构件,柔性屏设于转轴机构和两个结构件的表面,每个结构件的边缘均设置侧盖,第二段的两端均设置有第一段。在转轴机构的两侧中的每一侧:柔性屏位于侧盖与结构件之间,侧盖遮盖柔性屏的部分边缘,第一段位于侧盖与柔性屏之间,侧盖遮盖第一段;可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构的轴向上,第一段的内侧边与侧盖的内侧边之间具有第一间隔;可折叠设备在展平状态与折叠状态之间相互转换时,在转轴机构的轴向上,第一间隔用于供第一段在侧盖的内侧边与侧盖的外侧边之间移动。

在一种可能的实施方式中,第二段的厚度大于第一段的厚度。
在一种可能的实施方式中,第二段的中部与连接件固定连接,第二段的厚度由中部向朝向第一段的端部逐渐减小。
本申请第二方面提供另一种可折叠设备,包括结构件、转轴机构、柔性屏、侧盖以及遮挡组件。结构件与转轴机构转动连接,柔性屏设于结构件和转轴机构的表面。结构件的边缘设有侧盖,柔性屏位于侧盖与结构件之间,侧盖遮盖柔性屏的部分边缘。转轴机构的端部设有遮挡组件,遮挡组件包括连接件和遮挡件,连接件与转轴机构的端部固定连接,遮挡件位于柔性屏的出光侧。遮挡件包括相连接的第一段和第二段,第一段位于侧盖与柔性屏之间,侧盖遮盖第一段,第二段与连接件固定连接。遮挡件具有限位结构,遮挡件用于通过限位结构与侧盖和柔性屏中的至少一个抵接,以限制遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动。其中,遮挡件的内侧边为遮挡件在转轴机构的轴向朝向柔性屏的中部的侧边。
本申请实施例的可折叠设备,限位结构可以限制遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,遮挡件不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易因脱离侧盖的盖压而发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件恢复至展平时,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分会朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因遮挡件部分位置翘起而与侧盖的内侧边抵触造成的遮挡件损坏的问题。再者,由于限位结构的限制,在遮挡件厚度较小、强度较低时,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分也不易朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件的厚度较薄,也可以使遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖 的内侧边脱出。
本申请第三方面提供又一种可折叠设备,包括结构件、转轴机构、柔性屏、侧盖以及遮挡组件。结构件与转轴机构转动连接,柔性屏设于结构件和转轴机构的表面。结构件的边缘设有侧盖,柔性屏位于侧盖与结构件之间,侧盖遮盖柔性屏的部分边缘。转轴机构的端部设有遮挡组件,遮挡组件包括连接件和遮挡件,连接件与转轴机构的端部固定连接,遮挡件位于柔性屏的出光侧。遮挡件包括相连接的第一段和第二段,第一段位于侧盖与柔性屏之间,侧盖遮盖第一段,第二段与连接件固定连接,第二段的厚度大于第一段的厚度。
本申请实施例的可折叠设备,第二段的厚度较大,可使遮挡件的强度较大,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件的两端不易向遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,遮挡件不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易因脱离侧盖的盖压而发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件恢复至展平时,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分会朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因遮挡件部分位置翘起而与侧盖的内侧边抵触造成的遮挡件损坏的问题。再者,通过加厚遮挡件用于与连接件连接的部分的厚度来提高遮挡件的强度之后,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖部分的厚度较小时,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分也不易朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分的厚度较薄,也可以使遮挡件在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边脱出。

具体实施方式
本申请的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本申请的具体实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本申请,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
本申请实施例提供一种可折叠设备,可以通过折叠和展开来改变自身的形态,以满足用户在不同场景下的需求。例如,在携带时,可进行折叠,以减小可折叠设备的尺寸;在使用时,可展开,以增大用于显示或者操作的屏幕的尺寸。可以理解的是,可折叠设备也可称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)或终端(terminal)等。
本申请实施例提供的可折叠设备可以包括但不限于为平板电脑(portable android device,PAD)、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等移动终端或固定终端。本申请实施例以一种具有无线通信功能的手持设备为例进行说明,具有无线通信功能的手持设备可以为手机。
图1为本申请实施例提供的一种可折叠设备处于折叠状态时的示意图。
如图1所示,在本申请实施例中,可折叠设备包括支撑组件,支撑组件包括至少两个结构件200以及位于相邻的两个结构件200之间的转轴机构100,结构件200与相邻的转轴机构100转动连接,相邻的两个结构件200通过二者之间的转轴机构100转动连接,以使可折叠设备可在展平状态和折叠状态之间相互切换。
可以理解的是,位于转轴机构100两侧的两个结构件200转动至相互层叠时,可折叠设备处于折叠状态,此时,位于转轴机构100两侧的两个结构件200可以相互平行。本领域技术人员可以理解地,本申请文件中所指的相互平行,由于设计公差等原因,可以不是绝对的平行,允许存在少许偏差。
图2为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备处于展平状态时的一个视角的示意图,其中,图3为图2中A部的放大图。图中的x方向为转轴机构100的轴向,y方向为可折叠设备处于展平状态时可折叠设备的厚度方向,z方向为可折叠设备处于展平状态时结构件200的排布方向,x方向可以与y方向垂直,x方向可以与z方向垂直,y方向可以与z方向垂直。
如图2、图3所示所示,位于转轴机构100两侧的两个结构件200相对转动至二者的夹角大致呈180°时,可折叠设备处于展平状态。本领域技术人员可以理解地,本申请文 件中所指的夹角大致呈180°,由于设计公差等原因,可以不是绝对的180°,允许存在少许偏差,例如165°、177°或者185°。
当然,可折叠设备还具有在折叠状态和展平状态之间切换过程中的中间状态。
可以理解的是,转轴机构100的轴向可以为可折叠设备处于展平状态时的长度方向,此时,z方向可以为可折叠设备处于展平状态时的宽度方向。转轴机构100的轴向也可以为可折叠设备处于展平状态时的宽度方向,此时,z方向可以为可折叠设备处于展平状态时的长度方向。
可以理解的是,支撑组件可以包括两个结构件200,也可以包括三个、四个或者更多个的结构件200,相邻两个结构件200之间通过转轴机构100转动连接。对应的,可折叠设备可以折叠为两层、三层、四层或者更多层。
可以理解的是,在支撑组件包括三个及以上的结构件200时,支撑组件还可以具有部分折叠状态,支撑组件处于部分折叠状态时,部分转轴机构100两侧的结构件200相对转动至二者的夹角大致呈180°,部分转轴机构100两侧的结构件200转动至相互层叠。
示例性的,支撑组件可以包括一个转轴机构100和两个结构件200,两个结构件200分别设于转轴机构100的两侧,两个结构件200可以相向转动至叠层以及背向转动至夹角大致呈180°,此时,可折叠设备可以折叠成两层。
示例性的,支撑组件可以包括并列设置的三个结构件200,相邻的两个结构件200之间设置一个转轴机构100,相邻的两个结构件200通过二者之间的转轴机构100转动连接。位于两侧的两个结构件200可以相对于位于中间的一个结构件200相向转动至叠层,使可折叠设备可以形成三层层叠或者两侧的两个结构件200位于同一层的两层层叠的折叠状态。位于两侧的两个结构件200可以相对于位于中间的一个结构件200背向转动至与位于中间的一个结构件200的夹角大致呈180°,使可折叠设备可以切换为展平状态。位于两侧的两个结构件200中的其中一个可以相对于位于中间的一个结构件200相向转动至叠层,位于两侧的两个结构件200中的另一个可以相对于位于中间的一个结构件200背向转动至与位于中间的一个结构件200的夹角大致呈180°,使可折叠设备可以切换为部分折叠状态。
在本申请实施例中,可折叠设备还包括柔性屏300,柔性屏300设于支撑组件上。具体来说,柔性屏300设于结构件200以及转轴机构100表面,柔性屏300与结构件200相对的部分可以与相对的结构件200相连,转轴机构100可以用于支撑柔性屏300。
可以理解的是,柔性屏300设于所有的结构件200和所有的转轴机构100同一侧的表面。
可以理解的是,柔性屏300与结构件200相对的部分可以与相对的结构件200固定连接,柔性屏300与结构件200相对的部分也可以与相对的结构件200滑动连接。
可以理解的是,柔性屏300可以用于图像显示,也可以用于作为虚拟键盘用于输入信息,柔性屏300的功能可根据具体应用场景而定。
可以理解的是,柔性屏300的长度方向与可折叠设备的长度方向相同,柔性屏300的宽度方向与可折叠设备的宽度方向相同,柔性屏300的厚度方向与可折叠设备的厚度方向相同。
图4为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备处于展平状态时的又一个视角的示意图,图5为图4中B部的放大图。
如图4、图5所示,并参看图2、图3,在本申请实施例中,柔性屏300可以包括与结构件200一一相对的至少两个连接区域310以及位于相邻的两个连接区域310之间的可弯折区域320,相邻的两个连接区域310通过可弯折区域320相连,连接区域310位于相对的结构件的表面,连接区域310与相对的结构件200相连。
可以理解的是,在可折叠设备在展平状态和折叠状态之间切换时,连接区域310随其连接的结构件200转动,以使可弯折区域320发生形变。具体来说,在可折叠设备由展平状态切换为折叠状态时,可弯折区域320在其两侧的连接区域310的带动下发生弯折,可弯折区域320两侧连接的连接区域310可相互平行,可弯折区域320可呈水滴状结构。可折叠设备在由折叠状态切换为展平状态时,可弯折区域320在其两侧的连接区域310的带动下展平,可弯折区域320可与其两侧连接的连接区域310共面(允许存在少许偏差)。
可以理解的是,连接区域310可以通过粘接、夹紧等方式固定连接在相对的结构件200上。
可以理解的是,可弯折区域320可以包括与转轴机构100相对的第一子区域321以及分别位于第一子区域321两侧的第二子区域322和第三子区域323。在同一个可弯折区域320中,第一子区域321的一侧通过第二子区域322与相邻的连接区域310相连,第一子区域321的另一侧通过第三子区域323与相邻的连接区域310相连,在可折叠设备切换为折叠状态的过程中,第一子区域321、第二子区域322和第三子区域323均可以发生弯折。
我们不妨将位于其中一个转轴机构100两侧的两个结构件200分别称为第一结构件210和第二结构件220,将与第一结构件210相对的连接区域310称为第一区域311,将与第二结构件220相对的连接区域310称为第二区域312。第一结构件210和第二结构件220均与二者之间的转轴机构100转动连接,第一区域311位于第一结构件210的表面、并与第一结构件210相连,第二区域312位于第二结构件220的表面、并与第二结构件220相连,位于第一区域311与第二区域312之间的可弯折区域320的第一子区域321与位于第一结构件210和第二结构件220之间的转轴机构100相对,第一子区域321的一侧通过第二子区域322与第一区域311相连,第一子区域321的另一侧通过第三子区域323与第二区域312相连。
可以理解的是,支撑组件可以包括一个转轴机构100,也可以包括相互平行的多个转轴机构100。在支撑组件包括两个及以上的转轴机构100时,支撑组件除第一结构件210和第二结构件220外,还可以包括其他的结构件200,柔性屏300除第一区域311和第二区域312外,还可以包括其他的连接区域310。
在本申请实施例中,结构件200可以包括中框(未示出)和后盖(未示出),在同一个结构件200中,中框在其厚度方向上的一侧与后盖固定连接,中框在其厚度方向上的另一侧用于与柔性屏300相对的部分固定连接。
可以理解的是,中框的厚度方向与可折叠设备的厚度方向相同。
可以理解的是,中框可以通过粘接、夹紧等方式与柔性屏300固定连接。
可以理解的是,在结构件200包括中框和后盖的实施例中,中框安装在转轴机构100上,位于转轴机构100两侧的中框通过转轴机构100转动连接。在可折叠设备处于展平状态时,位于转轴机构100两侧的中框的夹角大致呈180°,位于转轴机构100两侧的后盖的夹角大致呈180°;在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时,位于转轴机构100两侧的中框可以 相互平行,位于转轴机构100两侧的后盖可以相互平行,且位于转轴机构100两侧的中框夹于二者固定连接的后盖之间。

可以理解的是,在可折叠设备处于展平状态时,遮挡件420沿垂直于转轴机构100的轴向、且垂直于可折叠设备的厚度方向的z向延伸。
可以理解的是,可折叠设备在折叠状态和展平状态之间相互切换时,遮挡件420的两端可以分别随第一区域311和第二区域312转动,以使遮挡件420可以随柔性屏300发生形变,遮挡件420发生形变时,遮挡件420的两端可以分别在第一侧盖510与第一区域311之间以及第二侧盖520与第二区域312之间滑动,第一侧盖510和第二侧盖520分别将遮挡件420的两端分别压在第一侧盖510与第一区域311之间以及第二侧盖520与第二区域312之间,连接件410、第一侧盖510和第二侧盖520相互配合,可以阻止遮挡件420从可折叠设备的厚度方向脱出。
可以理解的是,遮挡件420可以遮盖其所在一端的可弯折区域320的边缘以及第一区域311和第二区域312的部分边缘。
示例性的,第一区域311与可弯折区域320相连的部分可以位于第一侧盖510外,第一侧盖510遮盖第一区域311的部分边缘,第一区域311与可弯折区域320相连的部分由遮挡件420遮盖。第二区域312与可弯折区域320相连的部分可以位于第二侧盖520外, 第二侧盖520遮盖第二区域312的部分边缘,第二区域312与可弯折区域320相连的部分由遮挡件420遮盖。这样,使得第一侧盖510和第二侧盖520对柔性屏300弯折的影响较小。

图7为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备的遮挡组件的示意图。
如图7所示,并参看图3、图5、图6,在本申请实施例中,连接件410包括连接部411和固定部412,连接部411的一端与转轴机构100固定连接,固定部412固定连接在连接部411的另一端,固定部412位于柔性屏300的出光侧,在可折叠设备的厚度方向上,固定部412与柔性屏300间隔设置,遮挡件420与固定部412固定连接。
可以理解的是,在可折叠设备的厚度方向上,遮挡件420与固定部412连接处可以与柔性屏300之间具有间隔,遮挡件420位于第一侧盖510和第二侧盖520之间的至少部分可以为朝背离柔性屏300的方向拱起的结构。这样,利于遮挡件420与固定部412连接处随固定部412与柔性屏300之间的间隔的变化而发生形变,可折叠设备处于折叠状态时,不易因遮挡件420与固定部412连接处挤压柔性屏300而造成柔性屏300损坏,遮挡件420与固定部412之间也不易进入异物。
可以理解的是,连接部411可以通过插接、粘接、卡接、紧固件连接等方式与转轴机构100固定连接。
可以理解的是,连接部411和固定部412可以为一体结构。连接部411和固定部412也可以为通过粘接、卡接、焊接、紧固件连接等方式固定连接的分体机构。

图8为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备的遮挡件位于侧盖与柔性屏之间的部分的装配示意图。
如图8所示,遮挡件420位于侧盖500与柔性屏300之间的部分的外侧边在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影在柔性屏300外,遮挡件420位于侧盖500与柔性屏300之间的部分的内侧边在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影在柔性屏300内。
这样,使得遮挡件420位于侧盖500与柔性屏300之间的部分也可对柔性屏300的边缘进行遮盖,利于在可折叠设备进行状态切换时使遮挡件420保持对柔性屏300的遮盖。
可以理解的是,遮挡件420位于第一侧盖510与柔性屏300之间的部分的外侧边以及位于第二侧盖520与柔性屏300之间的部分的外侧边在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影均可以在柔性屏300外,遮挡件420位于第一侧盖510与柔性屏300之间的部分的内侧边以及位于第二侧盖520与柔性屏300之间的部分的内侧边在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影均可以在柔性屏300内。
可以理解的是,遮挡件的外侧边440为遮挡件420在转轴机构100的轴向背离柔性屏300的中部的侧边,遮挡件的内侧边430为与遮挡件420在转轴机构100的轴向朝向柔性屏300的中部的侧边。
在本申请实施例中,遮挡件的内侧边430在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影均可以均在柔性屏300内,遮挡件的外侧边440在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影均可以在柔性屏300外。
这样,遮挡件400对柔性屏300的边缘的遮挡效果较好。此外,遮挡件400与柔性屏300之间的搭接量较大,遮挡件400与柔性屏300之间不易发生卡顿。
相关技术中,在可折叠设备处于展平状态时,遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分的内侧边与遮盖其的侧盖的内侧边接近平齐,遮挡件为等厚的遮挡件,在可折叠设备轻薄化的趋势下,遮挡件的厚度较小,使得遮挡件的强度较小。可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件会发生弯折,由于遮挡件的强度较小,遮挡件的两端易因形变而朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,也就是说,遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分易朝遮挡件的内侧边朝向的方向移动,使得遮挡件被侧盖遮盖的部分易从侧盖的内侧边脱出,遮挡件从侧盖内侧边脱出的部分会影响整机的外观。此外,遮挡件从侧盖的内侧边脱出的部分因不受侧盖的盖压易发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平带动遮挡件展平时,遮挡件从侧盖的内侧边脱出的部分会朝侧盖的外侧边的方向移动,此时,遮挡件翘起的部分易与侧盖发生抵触,进而易造成遮挡件损坏。
图9为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在第一侧盖和第二侧盖上局部开口的示意图,图10为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备处于展平状态时,第一侧盖、第二侧盖和遮盖组件的配合示意图。

可以理解的是,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:在可折叠设备的厚度方向上,第一段421位于侧盖500与柔性屏300之间。
可以理解的是,可在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:折叠设备处于各个状态时,第二段422均位于侧盖500外。
可以理解的是,在可折叠设备的厚度方向上,第二段422可以位于连接件410与柔性屏300之间,具体来说,第二段422可以位于连接件410的固定部412与柔性屏300之间,使得可折叠设备在弯折时,第二段422不易从连接件410上脱落。当然,在可折叠设备的厚度方向上,连接件410的固定部412也可以位于第二段422与柔性屏300之间。
可以理解的是,第一段421可以位于遮挡件420的端部,第一段421与第二段422可以直接相连,遮挡件420还可以包括位于第一段421和第二段422之间的其他部分,第一段421与第二段422可以通过位于二者之间的其他部分相连。
在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:遮挡件400的端部具有第一段421,第一段421位于第一侧盖510与柔性屏300之间,第一侧盖510遮盖第一段421,也就是说,第一段421在柔性屏300厚度方向上的投影落入第一侧盖510在柔性屏300厚度方向上的投影内。可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间具有第一间隔L1。可折叠设备在展平状态与折叠状态之间相互转换时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一间隔L1用于供第一段421 在第一侧盖的内侧边551与第一侧盖的外侧边561之间移动。
这样,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间预留出了第一间隔L1,第一间隔L1可在遮挡件420弯折时供第一段421移动,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件420被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分即便朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,第一段420也不易从第一侧盖的内侧边551脱出,第一段421不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于第一段421不易从第一侧盖的内侧边551脱出,第一段421不易因脱离第一侧盖510的盖压而发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件420恢复至展平时,第一段421会朝第一侧盖的外侧边561的方向移动,在第一段421朝第一侧盖的外侧边561的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因第一段421翘起而与第一侧盖的内侧边551抵触造成的遮挡件420损坏的问题。再者,因在第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间预留出了第一间隔L1,可以允许第一段421朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动一定的距离,在遮挡件420厚度较小、强度较低时,第一段421也不易从第一侧盖的内侧边551脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件421的厚度较薄,也可以使第一段421不易从第一侧盖的内侧边551脱出。
可以理解的是,第一段的内侧边431为第一段421在转轴机构100的轴向朝向柔性屏300的中部的侧边。换句话来说,第一段的内侧边431为遮挡件的内侧边430位于第一段421的部分。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于各个状态时,第一段421均被第一侧盖510遮盖。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于折叠状态时,第二段422位于第一侧盖510外。也就说,可折叠设备处于各个状态时,第二段422均位于第一侧盖510外。
在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:遮挡件420的端部具有第一段421,第一段421位于第二侧盖520与柔性屏300之间,第二侧盖520遮盖第一段421,也就是说,第一段421在柔性屏300厚度方向上的投影落入第二侧盖520在柔性屏300厚度方向上的投影内。可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552之间具有第一间隔L1。可折叠设备在展平状态与折叠状态之间相互转换时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一间隔L1用于供第一段421在第二侧盖的内侧边552与第二侧盖的外侧边562之间移动。
这样,在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552之间预留出了第一间隔L1,第一间隔L1可在遮挡件420弯折时供第一段421移动,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件420被第二侧盖520遮盖的部分即便朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,第一段420也不易从第二侧盖的内侧边552脱出,第一段421不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于第一段421不易从第二侧盖的内侧边552脱出,第一段421不易因脱离第二侧盖520的盖压而发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件420恢复至展平时,第一段421会朝第二侧盖的外侧边562的方向移动,在第一段421朝第二侧盖的外侧边562的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因第一段421翘起而与第二侧盖的内侧边552抵触造成的遮挡件420损坏的问题。再者,因在第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552之间预留出了第一间隔L1,可以允许第一段421朝遮挡件的内侧 边430朝向的方向移动一定的距离,在遮挡件420厚度较小、强度较低时,第一段421也不易从第二侧盖的内侧边552脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件421的厚度较薄,也可以使第一段421不易从第二侧盖的内侧边552脱出。

可以理解的是,第二段422的两端可以均设置有第一段421。可折叠设备处于展平状态时,第二段422两端的第一段421分别被位于转轴机构100两侧的第一侧盖510和第二侧盖520遮盖。可折叠设备处于折叠状态时,第二段422位于第一侧盖510和第二侧盖520外。
可以理解的是,第二段422两端设置的第一段421可以分别位于遮挡件420的两端。
在本申请实施例中,遮挡件420可以为弹性件,遮挡件420可以由软胶、聚对苯二甲酸类塑料(Polyethylene terephthalate,PET)、超纤皮(poly urethane,PU)、玻璃纤维等中的一种或者多种材料制成。
在本申请实施例中,第二段422与连接件410的固定部412固定连接,第二段422可以呈向背离柔性屏300的方向拱起的结构。

如图11所示,并参看图9,遮挡件的内侧边430在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影均在柔性屏300上。
这样,可降低遮挡件420卡入柔性屏300在转轴机构100的轴向与侧盖500之间的间隙风险,遮挡件420装配和运动较为稳定。
可以理解的是,第一段的内侧边431和第二段的内侧边432在可折叠设备的厚度方向的投影均在柔性屏300上。
可以理解的是,第二段的内侧边432为第二段422在转轴机构100的轴向朝向柔性屏300的中部的侧边。换句话来说,第二段的内侧边432为遮挡件的内侧边430位于第二段422的部分。
继续参看图9、图10,在本申请实施例中,可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第二段的内侧边432凸出于第一段的内侧边431。
这样,在第一段421不易外露的基础上,可使第二段422与柔性屏300重叠的区域较大,可以进一步提高遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性。此外,也利于增大第二段422的宽度,利于提高遮挡件420整体的强度,利于减小遮挡件420弯折时,第一段421向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向的移动量。
在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的外侧边560的间距小于第二段的内侧边432与侧盖的外侧边560的间距。
这样,在第一段421不易外露的基础上,利于使第二段422与柔性屏300重叠的区域 较大,利于进一步提高遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性。此外,也利于增大第二段422的宽度,利于提高遮挡件420整体的强度,利于减小遮挡件420弯折时,第一段421向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向的移动量。

可以理解的是,可折叠设备处于各个状态时,第三段423均被侧盖500遮盖。
这样,在第一段421不易外露的基础上,可使遮挡件420被侧盖500遮盖的其他部分与柔性屏300的搭接区域较大,遮挡件420不易卡入柔性屏300在转轴机构100的轴向与侧盖500之间的间隙内。此外,第三段的内侧边433与侧盖的内侧边550之间预留出了供第三段423在遮挡件420弯折时发生移动的第二间隔L2,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态使遮挡件420弯折时,遮挡件420被侧盖500遮盖的部分即便朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,第三段423也不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出。另外,可使第三段423的宽度较大,利于增大遮挡件420整体的强度,使得遮挡件420发生弯折时两端向遮挡件420的内侧边朝向的方向的移动量较小。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:遮挡件420可以包括位于第一段421与第二段422之间的第三段423,第三段423位于第一侧盖510与柔性屏300之间,第一侧盖510遮盖第三段423。可折叠设备处于展平状态时在转轴机构100的轴向上,第三段的内侧边433与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间具有第二间隔L2,第二间隔L2小于第一间隔L1。可折叠设备在展平状态与折叠状态之间相互转换时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第二间隔L2用于供第三段423在第一侧盖的内侧边551与第一侧盖的外侧边561之间移动。

这样,在第一段421和第三段423均不易外露的基础上,可使第二段422和第三段423与柔性屏300重叠的区域较大,遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性较高。此外,可使第二段422和第三段423的宽度均较大,遮挡件420整体的强度较高,利于减小遮挡件420弯折时第一段421和第三段423向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向的移动量。

可以理解的是,第一连接段的内侧边435为第一连接段425在转轴机构100的轴向朝向柔性屏300的中部的侧边。换句话来说,第一连接段的内侧边435为遮挡件的内侧边430位于第一连接段425的部分。
这样,可使第一段的内侧边431与第三段的内侧边433平滑相连,遮挡件420滑动时不易因突变的位置抵触发生卡顿。此外,第一连接段425与柔性屏300的搭接量也较大,遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性较高。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:第一连接段的内侧边435的一端与第一段的内侧边431相接,第一连接段的内侧边435的另一端与第三段的内侧边433相接,第一段的内侧边431与第一连接段的内侧边435连接的一端通过第一连接段的内侧边435逐渐平滑过渡到第三段的内侧边433与第一连接段的内侧边435连接的一端,第一段的内侧边431与第三段的内侧边433之间无突变的台阶状结构。

可以理解的是。第四段的内侧边434为第四段424在转轴机构100的轴向朝向柔性屏300的中部的侧边。换句话来说,第四段的内侧边434为遮挡件的内侧边430位于第四段424的部分。
这样,预留出的第三间隔L3可使可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态的过程中移动到侧盖500内的部分也不易在转轴机构100的轴向从侧盖的内侧边550露出。此外,第四段424与柔性屏300的搭接量较大,遮挡件420不易卡入柔性屏300在转轴机构100的轴向与侧盖500之间的间隙内。另外,可使第四段424的宽度较大,利于增大遮挡件420整体的强度,使得遮挡件420发生弯折时两端向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向的移动量较小。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:遮挡件420可以包括位于第一段421与第二段422之间的第四段424,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第四段424位于第一侧盖的内侧边551与第一侧盖的外侧边561之间。可折叠设备处于展平状态时,第四段424位于第一侧盖510之外,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第四段的内侧边434与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间具有第三间隔L3,第三间隔L3小于第一间隔L1。可折叠设备处于折叠状态时,第四段424的至少部分被第一侧盖510遮盖。可折叠设备在展平状态与折叠状态之间相互切换时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第三间隔L3用于供第四段424在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分在第一侧盖的内侧边551与第一侧盖的外侧边561之间移动。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:遮挡件420可以包括位于第一段421与第二段422之间的第四段424,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第四段424位 于第二侧盖的内侧边552与第二侧盖的外侧边562之间。可折叠设备处于展平状态时,第四段424位于第二侧盖520之外,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第四段的内侧边434与第二侧盖的内侧边552之间具有第三间隔L3,第三间隔L3小于第一间隔L1。可折叠设备处于折叠状态时,第四段424的至少部分被第二侧盖520遮盖。可折叠设备在展平状态与折叠状态之间相互切换时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第三间隔L3用于供第四段424在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被第二侧盖520遮盖的部分在第二侧盖的内侧边552与第二侧盖的外侧边562之间移动。

这样,可使第二段422和第四段424与柔性屏300重叠的区域较大,遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性较高。此外,可使第二段422和第四段424的宽度均较大,遮挡件420整体的强度较高,利于减小遮挡件420弯折时两端向遮挡件420的内侧边朝向的方向的移动量。
在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的外侧边560的间距小于第四段的内侧边434与侧盖的外侧边560的间距,第四段的内侧边434与侧盖的外侧边560的间距小于第二段的内侧边432与侧盖的外侧边560的间距。
这样,利于使第二段422和第四段424与柔性屏300重叠的区域较大,利于提高遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性较高。此外,也利于使第二段422和第四段424的宽度均较大,使遮挡件420整体的强度较高,利于减小遮挡件420弯折时两端向遮挡件420的内侧边朝向的方向的移动量。

这样,遮挡件420的制造难度较小。此外,遮挡件420在侧盖500之间进行装配的装配精度要求也较低。
在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时, 第三间隔L3等于第二间隔L2。
在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:遮挡件还包括连接第二段422与第四段423的第二连接段426,第二段的内侧边432通过第二连接段的内侧边436与第四段的内侧边434过渡连接。
可以理解的是,第二连接段的内侧边436为第二连接段426在转轴机构100的轴向朝向柔性屏300的中部的侧边。换句话来说,第二连接段的内侧边436为遮挡件的内侧边430位于第二连接段426的部分。
这样,可使第二段的内侧边432与第四段的内侧边434平滑相连,遮挡件420滑动时不易因突变的位置抵触而发生卡顿。此外,第二连接段426与柔性屏300的搭接量也较大,遮挡件420装配和运动的稳定性较高。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:第二连接段的内侧边436的一端与第二段的内侧边432相接,第二连接段的内侧边436的另一端与第四段的内侧边434相接,第二段的内侧边432与第二连接段的内侧边436连接的一端通过第二连接段的内侧边436逐渐平滑过渡到第四段的内侧边434与第二连接段的内侧边436连接的一端,第二段的内侧边432与第四段的内侧边434之间无突变的台阶状结构。

图12为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备的遮挡组件的示意图。
如图12所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,第二段422的厚度大于第一段421的厚度。
这样,第二段422的厚度较大,可使遮挡件420的强度较大,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件420的两端不易向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出,遮挡件420不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易因脱离侧盖500的盖压而发生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件420恢复至展平时,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分会朝侧盖的外侧边560的方向移动,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分朝侧盖的外侧边560的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因遮挡件420部分位置翘起而与侧盖的内侧边550抵触造成的遮挡件420损坏的问题。再者,通过加厚遮挡件420用于与连接件410连接的部分的厚度来提高遮挡件420的强度之后,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖部分的厚度较小时,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分也不易朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,遮 挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分的厚度较薄,也可以使遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边430脱出。
可以理解的是,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分的厚度可以相等,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分的厚度可以均小于第二段422的厚度。
可以理解的是,在第二段422的厚度大于第一段421的厚度的实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:可使可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的内侧边550之间具有第一间隔L1。也就是说,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间具有第一间隔L1。在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552之间具有第一间隔L1。
可以理解的是,在第二段422的厚度大于第一段421的厚度的实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:也可使可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的内侧边550平齐。也就是说,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551平齐。在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552平齐。
可以理解的是,在第二段422的厚度大于第一段421的厚度的实施例中,第二段422可以为朝背离柔性屏300的方向拱起的结构,第二段422的厚度增加之后,对整机的厚度的影响较小。
在第二段422的厚度大于第一段421的厚度的实施例中,第二段422的中部与连接件410固定连接,第二段422的厚度由中部向朝向第一段421的端部逐渐减小。
这样,利于使第二段423的端部与遮挡件420的其他的部分平滑连接,使得遮挡件420滑动时不易发生卡顿,也不易形成易压坏柔性屏300的凸出结构。
在本申请的一些实施例中,遮挡件420具有限位结构。在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:遮挡件420用于通过限位结构与侧盖500和柔性屏300中的至少一个抵接,以限制遮挡件420可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。
这样,限位结构可以限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,使得可折叠设备在切换到折叠状态时,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出,遮挡件420不易对整机的外观造成影响。此外,由于遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易因脱离侧盖500的盖压而发 生翘起,在可折叠设备展平而使遮挡件420恢复至展平时,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分会朝侧盖的外侧边560的方向移动,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分朝侧盖的外侧边560的方向移动的过程中,不易出现因遮挡件420部分位置翘起而与侧盖的内侧边550抵触造成的遮挡件420损坏的问题。再者,由于限位结构的限制,在遮挡件420厚度较小、强度较低时,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分也不易朝遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出,如此,既可以使遮挡件420的厚度较薄,也可以使遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分不易从侧盖的内侧边550脱出。
可以理解的是,遮挡件420可以通过限位结构与侧盖500抵接而不与柔性屏300抵接,遮挡件420也可以通过限位结构与柔性屏300抵接而不与侧盖500抵接,遮挡件420还可以通过限位结构与侧盖500和柔性屏300均抵接。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:限位结构可以位于遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分用于通过限位结构与侧盖500和柔性屏300中的至少一个抵接,以限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。
可以理解的是,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分在可折叠设备处于各个状态时均被侧盖500遮盖。在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分可以包括第一段421、第三段423和第一连接段425,限位结构可以位于第一段421、第三段423和第一连接段425的至少一段内。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分具有限位结构,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分用于通过限位结构与第一侧盖510和柔性屏300中的至少一个抵接,以限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被第二侧盖520遮盖的部分具有限位结构,遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于展平状态时被第二侧盖520遮盖的部分用于通过限位结构与第二侧盖520和柔性屏300中的至少一个抵接,以限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被第二侧盖520遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。
可以理解的是,在遮挡件420具有限位结构的实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:可使可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的内侧边550之间具有第一间隔L1。也就是说,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551之间具有第一间隔L1。在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552之间具有第一间隔L1。
可以理解的是,在遮挡件420具有限位结构的实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:也可使可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的内侧边550平齐。也就是说,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551平齐。在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552平齐。
图13为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在第一侧盖和第二侧盖上局部开口的示意图,图14为本申请实施例提供的又一种可折叠设备处于展平状态时,第一侧盖、第二侧盖和遮盖组件的配合示意图。
如图13、图14所示,在本申请实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:限位结构包括开设于遮挡件420背离柔性屏300一侧的限位孔427,侧盖500具有朝向柔性屏300的出光面凸出的限位柱530,限位柱530穿设在限位孔427内,限位孔427的孔壁用于与限位柱530抵接,以限制遮挡件420被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。
这样,可以通过限位柱530和限位孔427相配合限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,结构较为简单、装配较为方便。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:第一侧盖510具有朝向柔性屏300的出光面凸出的限位柱530,限位柱530穿设在限位孔427内,限位孔427的孔壁用于与限位柱530抵接,以限制遮挡件420被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。

可以理解的是,限位柱530可以为圆柱,也可为方柱、棱柱等。
可以理解的是,限位孔427可以为圆孔、方孔、条形孔等,限位孔427与穿设在其内的限位柱530之间具有间隙。
在本申请实施例中,限位孔427为条形孔,可折叠设备处于展平状态时,限位孔427的延伸方向与转轴机构100的轴向垂直。在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:限位柱530与限位孔427滑动配合,限位柱530可沿限位孔427的延伸方向相对于遮挡件420滑动。
这样,可使遮挡件420在侧盖500和柔性屏300之间滑动,可折叠设备在展平状态和折叠状态之间切换时,限位柱530不易对遮挡件420造成拉扯。
可以理解的是,在限位柱530与限位孔427配合限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件420的内侧边朝向的方向移动的实施例中,在转轴机构100的两侧中的每一侧:可使可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与侧盖的内侧边550平齐。也就是说,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:可折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第一侧盖的内侧边551平齐。在转轴机构100连接第二结构件220的一侧:可 折叠设备处于展平状态时,在转轴机构100的轴向上,第一段的内侧边431与第二侧盖的内侧边552平齐。

这样,可以通过第一凸出部428和滑槽540相配合限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被侧盖500遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动,第一凸出部428与侧盖500之间抵接较为稳固。此外,也利于遮挡件420在柔性屏300和侧盖500之间滑动,侧盖500不易对第一凸出部428造成挤压。
可以理解的是,在转轴机构100连接第一结构件210的一侧:第一侧盖510朝向柔性屏300的出光面的一侧开设有滑槽540,第一凸出部428可以沿滑槽540的延伸方向相对于第一侧盖510滑动,第一凸出部428用于与滑槽540的槽壁抵接,以限制遮挡件420在可折叠设备处于折叠状态时被第一侧盖510遮盖的部分向遮挡件的内侧边430朝向的方向移动。
