Disclosed is an electronic device including a first housing, a second housing, a display disposed on the first housing and the second housing, at least one hinge structure that connects the first housing and the second housing, a hinge housing that surrounds at least part of the at least one hinge structure, and at least one foreign matter collection member that is disposed on one side of the at least one hinge structure and that collects foreign matter introduced into the electronic device.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing;
a display disposed on the first housing and the second housing;
at least one hinge structure configured to connect the first housing and the second housing;
a hinge housing configured to accommodate at least part of the at least one hinge structure; and
at least one foreign matter collection member disposed on one side of the at least one hinge structure and configured to collect foreign matter introduced into the electronic device,
wherein the at least one hinge structure includes a first hinge structure disposed at a left edge of the hinge housing, and a second hinge structure disposed at a right edge of the hinge housing,
wherein at least one of the first hinge structure and the second hinge structure includes a center bracket, a first hinge bracket connected to the center bracket and configured to rotate in a first direction, and a second hinge bracket connected to the center bracket and configured to rotate in a second direction, and
wherein a specified gap is formed between at least part of the first hinge bracket and a rear surface of the display or between at least part of the second hinge bracket and the rear surface of the display when the first housing and the second housing are in a flat state.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one foreign matter collection member is disposed on at least one of an upper side of the first hinge structure and an upper side of the second hinge structure.
3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one foreign matter collection member is disposed on at least one of a left edge and a right edge of the first hinge structure and at least one of a left edge and a right edge of the second hinge structure.
4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one foreign matter collection member is disposed on at least one of at least one boss hole area provided on one side of the first hinge structure and used to couple the first hinge structure and the hinge housing and at least one boss hole area provided on one side of the second hinge structure and used to couple the second hinge structure and the hinge housing.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one foreign matter collection member is disposed in at least one of a space between the first hinge structure and the inside of the hinge housing and a space between the second hinge structure and the inside of the hinge housing.
6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first hinge structure and the second hinge structure includes at least one foreign matter outlet formed through front and rear surfaces and configured to induce the foreign matter toward the inside of the hinge housing.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one foreign matter collection member is disposed beneath the display.
