1. A hinge, comprising:
a main body;
a first folding assembly, comprising:
a first swing link;
a first swing arm, wherein one end of the first swing arm is rotatably connected to the main body, and the other end of the first swing arm is rotatably connected to the first swing link;
a first driven arm, wherein one end of the first driven arm is rotatably connected to the main body, and the other end of the first driven arm is slidably connected to the first swing link, wherein a rotation axis of the first driven arm relative to the main body and a rotation axis of the first swing arm relative to the main body are parallel to each other and do not coincide; and
a first support plate rotatably connected to the first swing link, wherein the first support plate is slidably connected to the first driven arm or slidably connected to the first swing arm; and
a second folding assembly, the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly being disposed on two sides of the main body, wherein the second folding assembly comprises:
a second swing link;
a second swing arm, wherein one end of the second swing arm is rotatably connected to the main body, and the other end of the second swing arm is rotatably connected to the second swing link;
a second driven arm, wherein one end of the second driven arm is rotatably connected to the main body, and the other end of the second driven arm is slidably connected to the second swing link, wherein a rotation axis of the second driven arm relative to the main body and a rotation axis of the second swing arm relative to the main body are parallel to each other and do not coincide; and
a second support plate rotatably connected to the second swing link, wherein the second support plate is slidably connected to the second driven arm or slidably connected to the second swing arm, wherein
when the hinge is unfolded, the first support plate, the second support plate, and the main body are flattened to form a support surface; and
when the hinge is folded, the first support plate, the second support plate, and the main body jointly form a display accommodation space, a distance between an end of the first support plate near the main body and an end of the second support plate near the main body is greater than a distance between an end of the first support plate away from the main body and an end of the second support plate away from the main body.
