Abstract

A hinge assembly is provided. The hinge assembly includes a rotating shaft structure, a first movable assembly and a second movable assembly. The rotating shaft structure includes a first rotating part and second rotating part. The first rotating part coaxially rotates relative to the second rotating part. The first movable assembly includes a first connecting member and a first moving member. The first moving member is movably connected to the first connecting member. The first movable assembly is connected to the first rotating part to rotate with the first rotating part simultaneously. The second movable assembly includes a second connecting member and a second moving member. The second moving member is movably connected to the second connecting member. The second movable assembly is connected to the second rotating part to rotate with second rotating part simultaneously.
