The present invention provides a hinge applied to an inward-foldable flexible screen terminal and an inward-foldable flexible screen terminal. The hinge comprises a middle support, a left rotary connecting part, and a right rotary connecting part. The present invention allows a left housing and a right housing to rotate respectively around the rotation axes of the left rotary connecting part and the right rotary connecting part as axes, and synchronously rotate in opposite directions. The present invention can reduce the space occupied by synchronous opposite connecting mechanisms, making the volume of the hinge smaller, and reducing the size of a middle decorative casing.

A hinge and a mobile terminal to resolve poor use effect of a foldable electronic device. The hinge includes a main body, and a first folding assembly and a second folding assembly that are symmetrically disposed along the main body. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated toward each other, a length of the hinge can be extended, and an accommodation space for accommodating the flexible display can be formed. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated away from each other, the length of the hinge can be reduced, and a support surface for supporting the flexible display can be formed, so that the flexible display cannot be stretched, compressed, or the like during folding and unfolding, thereby improving the use effect and safety of the mobile terminal.

A hinge assembly for an electronic device, the hinge assembly being moveable between an unfolded position and at least a first folded end position, and comprising a row of interconnected and abutting hinge blades and at least one linear actuator. The hinge blades are aligned in a common plane when the hinge assembly is in the unfolded position, each hinge blade being rotated relative neighboring hinge blades around a first hinge assembly rotation axis, when the hinge assembly is moved to the first folded end position. The linear actuator comprises a rotation shaft and a plurality of linear drive arrangements having different lengths. The rotation shaft extends in parallel with the first hinge assembly rotation axis and comprises sections having different diameters.

An example computing device includes: a display housing including a first recess and a base including a second recess; and a hinge to rotate the display housing from a closed configuration to an open configuration, the hinge comprising: a central bar; a first link coupled to the central bar at a first pivot point, the first link rotatable about the first pivot point; and a second link coupled to the central bar at a second pivot point, the second link rotatable about the second pivot point; and wherein in response to the display housing rotating to the open configuration, a first sliding end of the first link is to retract into the first recess and a second sliding end of the second link is to retract into the second recess.

A double-axis hinge structure including a fixing member, a first shaft, a first guiding portion, a second shaft, a second guiding portion, and a slide guiding member is provided. The first shaft and the second shaft pass through the fixing member and the slide guiding member. The first guiding portion and the second guiding portion are respectively integrally formed on the first shaft and the second shaft. The slide guiding member has a third guiding portion and a fourth guiding portion. When one or both of the first shaft and the second shaft rotates relative to the fixing member, the guidance between the first guiding portion and the third guiding portion and/or the second guiding portion and the fourth guiding portion drives the slide guiding member to slide, so that the first shaft and the second shaft synchronously rotate in opposite directions by the same amount of rotation.

An electronic device includes a first and second housing, a sensor module, and a hinge. The hinge includes first and second rotary members, a first arm rotatable about a first arm shaft, operating in conjunction with rotation of the first rotary member, wherein a rotational axis of the first arm shaft is different from the first axis of rotation, a second arm rotatable about a second arm shaft, operating in conjunction with rotation of the second rotary member, wherein a rotational axis of the second arm shaft is different from the second axis of rotation, and a magnet assembly disposed on at least one of the first arm member or the second arm member such that at least a portion of the magnet assembly faces the sensor, wherein a distance between the magnet and the sensor is changeable based on rotation of the first and second housing.

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a housing including a front surface and a rear surface facing the direction opposite to the front surface; a support plate rotatably coupled to the rear surface of the housing, and rotating around a first axis from a position in which the support plate is in close contact with a partial area of the rear surface to an open state in which the support plate forms an angle with respect to the rear surface; and a hinge structure having at least a portion accommodated inside the housing, and rotatably coupling the support plate to the housing.
