Abstract
This application provides a folding assembly, a folding apparatus, and a terminal device. The folding assembly includes a base, a support member, and at least two swing arms. Each swing arm is provided with a first push part and a second push part. The first push part and the second push part are arranged in sequence in a direction of a rotation axis of the swing arm. During rotation of the swing arm from the unfolded position to the folded position, the first push part is driven to rotate to push the support member to move toward the base. During rotation of the swing arm from the folded position to the unfolded position, the second push part is driven to rotate to push the support member to move away from the base.

A folding assembly, the folding assembly comprising:
- a base;
- a support member;
- and
- at least two swing arms, respectively arranged at two width sides of the support member, wherein the swing arms are rotatably connected to the base to enable each swing arm to be rotatable between an unfolded position and a folded position, wherein
- each swing arm is provided with a first push part and a second push part, and the first push part and the second push part are arranged in sequence in a length direction of a rotation axis of the swing arm;
- the support member comprises first surfaces and second surfaces at each of two opposite height sides of the support member, each first surface is arranged corresponding to the first push part, and each second surface is arranged corresponding to the second push part;
- and
- during rotation of the swing arm from the unfolded position to the folded position, the first push part abuts against the first surface to push the support member to move toward the base, and during rotation of the swing arm from the folded position to the unfolded position, the second push part abuts against the second surface to push the support member to move away from the base.
