Abstract
A hinge assembly includes: a fixed supporting piece; a rotating assembly, movably connected with the fixed supporting piece and including a first limiting portion; and a locking mechanism, disposed on the fixed supporting piece and including a limiting piece which includes a second limiting portion matched with the first limiting portion. The fixed supporting piece slides relative to the rotating assembly in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotating assembly in a rotation process of the rotating assembly, so that the first limiting portion is connected with the second limiting portion or the first limiting portion is separated from the second limiting portion; when the first limiting portion is connected with the second limiting portion, the two limiting portions are matched with each other to limit rotation of the rotating assembly; when separated, limiting of the rotating assembly is released.
