Electronic device
An electronic device that relates to the technical field of display screens is provided. The electronic device includes a first display screen, a second display screen, and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism includes a support piece and two rotating components disposed in parallel along an axis. Each of the rotating components includes a drive shaft, a drive gear, and two locking components. The drive gear is fixedly disposed on a central area of the drive shaft. The first display screen is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of one of the rotating components, and the second display screen is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the other rotating component. Each of two ends of the drive shaft is connected to the support piece by using one of the locking components.
1. An electronic device, comprising: a first display screen; a second display screen; and a hinge mechanism,
wherein:
the hinge mechanism comprises a support piece and two rotating components disposed in parallel along an axis, and each of the rotating components comprises a drive shaft, a drive gear, and two locking components,
the drive gear is fixedly disposed on a central area of the drive shaft,
the first display screen is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of one of the rotating components, and the second display screen is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the other rotating component, so that the first display screen and the second display screen are capable of relative rotating, by engagement of the drive gears of the two rotating components, to fold or unfold the electronic device, and
each of two ends of the drive shaft is connected to the support piece by using one of the locking components, and through a locking effect of the two locking components, the first display screen and the second display screen are capable of staying at any relative angle,
wherein the locking component comprises a nut, a lead screw, and a spring, wherein each of two ends of the drive shaft is coaxial with and fixedly connected to one lead screw, the lead screw is disposed through the nut, the spring is sleeved on the lead screw and abutted on the nut and the support piece, and the nut moves in an axial direction of the lead screw by coordination between the lead screw and the nut to deform the spring, so that the first display screen and the second display screen stay at any relative angle.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking component comprises a fixed shaft, a spring, a first special-shape gear, and a second special-shape gear, wherein the first special-shape gear is fixedly disposed at one end of the drive shaft, the second special-shape gear is fixedly disposed at one end of the fixed shaft, the other end of the fixed shaft is inserted into the support piece, and the spring is sleeved on the fixed shaft, so that the first display screen and the second display screen are capable of staying at any relative angle by engagement of the first special-shape gear and the second special-shape gear.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking component comprises a first frictional disc and a second frictional disc, wherein the first frictional disc is fixedly disposed at one end of the drive shaft, and the second frictional disc is connected to the support piece, so that the first display screen and the second display screen are capable of staying at any relative angle with damping between the first frictional disc and the second frictional disc.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein there are at least two hinge mechanisms, wherein the at least two hinge mechanisms are arranged in an axial direction, and adjacent support pieces of two adjacent hinge mechanisms are fixedly connected to each other.
