고무풍선기린의 Contraposto

Patent contents: JIN FENG Electronics and Hangzhou Amphenol Phoenix in China

1. JIN FENG Electronics

1) Patent :一种柔性屏(flexible display)应用的同轴190度外折 (190 ° coaxial outward folded) 转动机构 (rotation structure)

2) Pub. Num. : CN108999882, App. Date:   2018.10, Type: invention

3) Solving the problem: [corresponding]

(1) 0-190° outward folding

(2) Protect the display from deformation during the process of bending (folding)

(3) Precisely control the flexible bending (folding）

4) Solution:

(1) Using gear coaxial rotation for purity mechanical bending

(2) Using damping structure with multi-unit springs and spring slide rail offset structure

(3) Limit structure(限位结构)  with connecting  fixed block (12连接固定块)

 5) Opinion: Too much space in the hinge bending part → We may make the hinge components small enough to reduce the space in the bending part, but still we could not eliminate the space

     2. Hangzhou Amphenol Phoenix 1

1) Patent :一种内折(in-folding) 柔性屏 (flexible display)移动终端 (mobile terminal)铰链(hinge)及内折柔性屏移动终端

2) Pub. Num. : CN108173995, App. Date: 2018.1, Type: invention

3) Solving problem:

(1) Providing space for flexible display’s bending part when folded;

(2) Providing flat supporting for flexible display when unfolded

(3) No exposure of hinge part

(4) User-friendly 

3. Hangzhou Amphenol Phoenix 2

1) Patent : 内折(in-folding)柔性屏(flexible display)移动终端(mobile terminal)的铰链(hinge)及内折柔性屏移动终端

2) Pub. Num. : CN207977993, App. Date: 2018.2, Pub. Date: 2018.10, Type: utility model

3) Solving problem:

(1) This hinge could reduce the stretching and compressing of the flexible display when folding or unfolding

(2) Rising-lowing plate(升降板)：providing  space for flexible display when folded

(3) Specifically, rising-lowing plate descends ¾ of the total height when 180°à90° and descends the rest ¼   when 90°à0°. Thus, rising-lowing plate descends quickly at the beginning and forms the space for the flexible display (protect the flexible display)

4. Hangzhou Amphenol Phoenix 2017 sorting

1) There are 7 patents applied in 2017 (0 invention, 1 design, 6 utility model)

2) Among the 6 utility model patents, one was ruled out for not being applied for flexible display

3) Among the rest 5 patents, one (CN 207603692 from different author) also related to rising-lowing plate, but no better than CN207977993 (the front page patent) [also one similar patent from the same author CN 207460248]

4) Among the rest 3 patents, one (CN 207782858) has the similar structure with other patents.

5) Among the rest 2 patents, one (CN 207200775) has a book-type shape which is far from portability and is inaesthetic . Similar hinge structure with no.4.

6) The last patent (CN 207543155) [printed] has the same author as CN108173995.
