Abstract
In a rotating shaft mechanism and a foldable mobile terminal, connecting rods and swing arms are rotatably connected to a main shaft assembly, and the swing arms and the connecting rods rotate around different axes, so that the swing arms and the connecting rods rotate and slide relative to each other. During folding, the connecting rods or the swing arms drive the two support plates to rotate towards each other, the support plates and the main shaft assembly enclose folding space for accommodating a flexible display of the mobile terminal in a folded state, so that the bending effect of the flexible display is improved, and two housings of the mobile terminal fit almost seamlessly in the folded state.
