Patent ID: 11815932

Abstract:
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device includes: a first housing and a second housing configured to rotate with respect to each other between a first position at which the first housing and the second housing are disposed to face each other and a second position at which the first housing and the second housing are unfolded from the first position at a specified angle with respect to each other, and a hinge module including a hinge disposed between the first housing and the second housing and configured to couple the first housing and the second housing to be rotatable to each other. The hinge module includes: a first hinge plate coupled with the first housing and disposed to be rotatable around a first rotation axis, a second hinge plate coupled with the second housing and disposed to be rotatable around a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis, a rotation plate disposed to be rotatable around a rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis or the second rotation axis, a first interlocking assembly including at least one of a slider, a link or a connection pin configured to couple the first hinge plate and the rotation plate to each other, and a second interlocking assembly including at least one of a slider, a link or a connection pin configured to couple the second hinge plate and the rotation plate to each other. As the first housing and the second housing rotate, the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate are configured to be interlocked with each other by the rotation plate, the first interlocking assembly, and the second interlocking assembly to rotate between the first position and the second position.
