[0035] An embodiment of the present invention provides a heat dissipation system of a foldable mobile terminal. The heat dissipation system 10 comprises a heat dissipation hole 1, a baffle, and a rotating shaft. The heat dissipation hole 1 is defined on a housing of the foldable mobile terminal. The heat dissipation hole 1 comprises a centrally symmetric and axisymmetric structure. That is, the heat dissipation hole has a regular shape. The baffle and the rotating shaft are disposed in the heat dissipation hole 1. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, and the rotating shaft is perpendicular to an extending direction of the heat dissipation hole 1. The rotating shaft is connected with a driving member. The driving member is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate in the heat dissipation hole 1. The baffle is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft. Preferably, an inner edge of the baffle is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The baffle is used to open or close the heat dissipation hole 1. The baffle rotates with a rotation of the rotating shaft to realize an opening and closing of the heat dissipation hole 1. Heat dissipation is achieved when the heat dissipation hole 1 is opened to reduce a temperature of the foldable mobile terminal. When the heat dissipation hole 1 is closed, external dust, moisture, and other foreign matters are prevented from entering an interior of the foldable mobile terminal, so as not to affect performance of internal devices of the foldable mobile terminal.
[0036] The heat dissipation system further comprises a fixing member. The fixing member is fixed on a wall of the heat dissipation hole 1. The fixing member is used to fix the baffle rotating in the heat dissipation hole. The fixing member is disposed at a rear portion of the baffle that rotates to an interior of the heat dissipation hole to a maximum angle. During a rotation of the baffle with a rotation of the rotating shaft toward the interior of the heat dissipation hole 1, an opening area of the heat dissipation hole 1 increases. When the baffle rotates to the interior of the heat dissipation hole 1 to the maximum angle, the heat dissipation hole 1 is fully opened. At this time, the fixing member on the wall of the heat dissipation hole 1 fixes the baffle to prevent the baffle activity from closing the heat dissipation hole 1 due to a movement or vibration of the foldable mobile terminal and affecting a heat dissipation effect. The fixing member ensures that the heat dissipation hole 1 is in a stable open state and ensures a good heat dissipation effect.
[0037] The fixing member is preferably an electromagnetic strip. The fixing member is electrically connected to a battery of the foldable mobile terminal. During the heat dissipation, the electromagnetic strip is energized, and the electromagnetic strip adsorbs and fixes the baffle. When the heat dissipation is not required, the electromagnetic strip is powered off and magnetism disappears. The baffle is driven by the rotating shaft to close the heat dissipation hole 1.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in
[0040] Preferably, a first stop 5 is provided on a bottom surface of the heat dissipation hole 1. The first stop 5 is close to an opposite side wall of the first rotating shaft 3. The first stop 5 is used to block the first baffle 2 to prevent the first rotating shaft 3 from rotating the first baffle 2 to an outside of the heat dissipation hole 1 due to an excessive rotation. On one hand, this ensures that the first baffle 2 completely closes the heat dissipation hole 1, and on the other hand, prevents the first baffle 2 from rotating out of the heat dissipation hole 1 after the excessive rotation, which affects aesthetics of the foldable mobile terminal and is not easy to carry.
[0041] Please refer to
[0042] Specifically, as shown in
[0043] Preferably, the bottom surface of the heat dissipation hole 1 is provided with a second stop 5′ and a third stop 5″. The second stop 5′ and the third stop 5″ are preferably fixed side by side in a middle of the bottom surface of the heat dissipation hole 1. The second stop 5′ is used to block the second baffle 2′, and the third stop 5″ is used to block the third baffle 2″ to avoid an excessive rotation of the second baffle 2′ and the third baffle 2″. On one hand, this ensures that the second baffle 2′ and the third baffle 2″ completely close the heat dissipation hole 1, and on the other hand, prevents the second baffle 2′ and the third baffle 2″ from rotating out of the heat dissipation hole 1 after the excessive rotation, which affects the aesthetics of the foldable mobile terminal and is not easy to carry.
[0044] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation system 10 further comprises a current sensor. The current sensor is electrically connected to a circuit board of the foldable mobile terminal. The current sensor is communicatively connected to a central processor of the foldable mobile terminal, and the central processor is communicatively connected to the driving member. The driving member is preferably a motor. When the current sensor detects that there is a current through the circuit board, the current sensor transmits a signal to the central processor. Meanwhile, the central processor starts the motor, and the battery supplies power to the electromagnetic strip, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the baffle to rotate in the heat dissipation hole 1 at the same time. When the baffle rotates to the interior of the heat dissipation hole 1 to the maximum angle, an opening space of the heat dissipation hole 1 is the largest, and the electromagnetic strip adsorbs and fixes the baffle to keep the heat dissipation hole 1 open and perform a stable heat dissipation. When the current sensor detects that there is no current through the circuit board, the current sensor transmits a signal to the central processor, and the central processor controls the motor to rotate in a reverse direction, and at the same time stops energizing the electromagnetic strip. The magnetism of the magnetic strip disappears, an absorption capacity disappears, and the rotating shaft drives the baffle to rotate to the outside of the heat dissipation hole 1 until the baffle completely closes the heat dissipation hole 1.
[0045] In other embodiments, the heat dissipation system 10 further comprises a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is fixed in the foldable mobile terminal and is used to detect a temperature in the foldable mobile terminal. The temperature sensor and the driving member are respectively communicatively connected to the central processor of the foldable mobile terminal. The driving member is preferably a motor. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the foldable mobile terminal is higher than a first threshold, the central processor starts the motor, and at the same time, the battery supplies power to the electromagnetic strip. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the baffle to rotate in the heat dissipation hole 1. When the baffle rotates to the interior of the heat dissipation hole 1 to the maximum angle, the opening space of the heat dissipation hole 1 is the largest, and the electromagnetic strip adsorbs and fixes the baffle to keep the heat dissipation hole 1 open and perform the stable heat dissipation. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the foldable mobile terminal is lower than a second threshold, the central processor controls the motor to rotate in the reverse direction, and at the same time stops energizing the electromagnetic strip. The magnetism of the magnetic strip disappears, the absorption capacity disappears, and the rotating shaft drives the baffle to rotate to the outside of the heat dissipation hole 1 until the baffle completely closes the heat dissipation hole 1.
[0046] The heat dissipation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the foldable mobile terminal, and is also applicable to other electronic devices requiring the heat dissipation. The heat dissipation system is versatile.
[0047] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a housing of the foldable mobile terminal. Please refer to

The foldable mobile terminal can be a portable electronic product with a folding screen, such as a smart phone, smart watch, smart bracelet, tablet, notebook, or smart wearable device (such as smart helmet, smart glasses).
[0049] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and simple improvements made on the substance of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
