Abstract: Disclosed are a rotating shaft mechanism and a foldable mobile terminal. The rotating shaft mechanism provided in the embodiments of this application is mainly applied to a foldable mobile terminal, so as to implement unfolding and folding of two main body parts of the foldable mobile terminal. When the elastic support member is in a compressed state, at least some segments of the first part and the second part overlap in a floating direction, and the second part provides a compressed deformation space for a part or all of the first part. In this way, a height of the elastic support member in overall compression and deformation is reduced, and an ultra-thin design requirement of the foldable mobile terminal is met.

The synchronous rotation mechanism is used in a foldable electronic device. The synchronous rotation mechanism includes torque swing arms and a sliding member. The torque swing arms on two sides of the sliding member are connected by the sliding member. The torque swing arms are rotatably connected to the sliding member by sliders and helical slots, so that when the torque swing arm on one side rotates, the slider and the helical slot synchronously drive the sliding member to slide in a direction perpendicular to rotation of the torque swing arm, and then to drive the torque swing arm on another side to rotate synchronously.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a folding mechanism and a mobile terminal. The folding mechanism includes a bracket and two support assemblies, with the two support assemblies respectively located on two sides of the bracket in a width direction. The support assembly includes a first support, a second support, and a swing arm, with the second support and the swing arm located on a same side of the first support. Because the second support and the first support are slidably connected rather than pivotally connected, the second support and the first support can be considered as one telescopic rod as a whole. Therefore, the bracket, the second support, the first support, and the swing arm form an equivalent three-rod linkage mechanism. In comparison with the related art, one linkage rod is saved, shortening a tolerance chain, which helps reducing a total tolerance of the folding mechanism.
