Abstract
A thermal conductive element includes a thermal conductive sheet and a target piece. The target piece is configured to be disposed in a target area of the thermal conductive sheet, and the target piece makes a target part of the thermal conductive sheet deform to form a first protrusion.
Claims16
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first device body;
- a second device body;
- and
- a hinge-connection element located between the first device body and the second device body and including a first workpiece, a second workpiece, and a third workpiece, the first workpiece and the third workpiece respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the second workpiece and configured to rotate relative to the second workpiece, so as to adapt to a switch posture of the electronic device between the unfolded state and the folded state, wherein:
- when the first device body and the second device body connected through the hinge-connection element are in the unfolded state, a deformed portion of a thermal conductive element of the electronic device forms at least one first protrusion;
- and
- when the first device body and the second device body connected through the hinge-connection element are in the folded state in which the first device body and the second device body are parallel to each other, the deformed portion of the thermal conductive element forms a second protrusion.

A thermal conductive element, comprising:
- a thermal conductive sheet;
- and
- a target piece, wherein the target piece is configured to be disposed in a target area of the thermal conductive sheet by fixing the target piece in a stretched state to the target area of the thermal conductive sheet through a pair of rubber strips, and the target piece makes a target part of the thermal conductive sheet deform to form a first protrusion.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a flexible display screen;
- a first device body;
- a second device body;
- and
- a hinge-connection element located between the first device body and the second device body, wherein:
- when the first device body and the second device body connected through the hinge-connection element are in an unfolded state, a deformed portion of a thermal conductive element of the electronic device forms at least one first protrusion;
- when the first device body and the second device body connected through the hinge-connection element are in a folded state in which the first device body and the second device body are parallel to each other, the deformed portion of the thermal conductive element forms a second protrusion;
- and
- when the at least one first protrusion recovers to become a part of the second protrusion, a middle part of the thermal conductive sheet forms a smooth curved surface that matches the flexible display screen.
