    Abstract: This application provides a rotation mechanism and a foldable terminal. The rotation mechanism includes a fixed base, a first swing arm, a second swing arm, a first limiting member, and a second limiting member. A first sliding groove and a second sliding groove are disposed on the fixed base. A first rotation shaft part of the first swing arm is installed in the first sliding groove, and may rotate relative to the fixed base. A second rotation shaft part of the second swing arm is installed in the second sliding groove, and may rotate relative to the fixed base. Rotation directions of the first rotation shaft part and the second rotation shaft part are opposite relative to the fixed base. The first limiting member is disposed in a first sliding hole of the first rotation shaft part, and is fixedly connected to the fixed base. When the first rotation shaft part rotates relative to the fixed base, the first limiting member slides relative to the first rotation shaft part along the first sliding hole. The second limiting member is disposed in a second sliding hole of the second rotation shaft part, and is fixed to the fixed base. When the second rotation shaft part rotates relative to the fixed base, the second limiting member slides along the second sliding hole relative to the second rotation shaft part.

    Abstract: This application provides a damping mechanism. An elastic member, where the elastic member includes a first pin and a second pin; a first fixing member, where the first fixing member is rotatably connected to the second pin in a first direction; and a first swinging member, where the first swinging member includes a first fixing portion and a first moving portion connected to the first fixing portion, and the first fixing portion is rotatably connected to the first fixing member in the first direction; the first moving portion is rotatably connected to the first pin in the first direction; and when rotation is performed between the first fixing member and the first swinging member, an elastic force generated by the elastic member acts on a center of rotation in which the first moving portion is rotatably connected to the first pin, forming an unfolding force or a closing force.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a walkie-talkie, a POS machine, an event data recorder, a wearable device, a virtual reality device, or in-vehicle original equipment or another terminal product with a loudspeaker. An inner wall of a mounting cavity for mounting a loudspeaker and the loudspeaker are respectively provided with mating surfaces that adapt to each other. In the two mating surfaces, one is provided with a flexible sealing member and a limiting structure, and the other is provided with a rigid sealing member. When the loudspeaker is mounted, the rigid sealing member can move relative to the flexible sealing member along a first direction, until the rigid sealing member is mated with the flexible sealing member. The limiting structure can restrict the flexible sealing member from moving.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a foldable electronic device, including: a shaft cap, a body, a first cam component, and a second cam component. The first cam component and the second cam component come into pressure contact. The first cam component is configured to be rotatable around a central shaft of the first cam component. The second cam component is configured to be slidable along a direction of the central shaft. A contact surface of the first cam component and the second cam component includes a locking section, an angle between a normal direction of the locking section and the central shaft is less than or equal to a preset value, and a resultant force of a cam driving member in a rotation direction of the cam driving member is o, so that the body is not automatically unfolded or folded, thereby implementing the freestop characteristic.

    Abstract: This application provides a rotating mechanism, a support apparatus, and a terminal with a foldable screen. A problem that a rotating part with a large volume affects lightening and thinning of an existing terminal with a foldable screen is resolved. A transmission assembly is in a transmission connection to a first swing arm and a second swing arm, so that the first swing arm and the second swing arm rotate between a folded position and an unfolded position. When the first swing arm and the second swing arm rotate from the folded position to the unfolded position, a connection plate moves in a direction away from the shaft cover, and when the first swing arm and the second swing arm rotate from the unfolded position to the folded position, the connection plate moves in a direction close to the shaft cover.
