The first slot G1 and the second slot G2 penetrate the two sides of the corresponding sliding plate 150 and are connected to each other. The first slot G1 is parallel to the positioning plate 130 and the second slot G2 is perpendicular to the first slot G1. Therefore, the first slot G1 and the second slot G2 together form an L-shaped slot. The two engaging protrusions FP are formed in the second slot G2 and are aligned with each other. In addition, the two engaging protrusions FP are made of elastic material.

[0059] refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C The adapter 160 has two sliding posts SB, which are arranged on two outer wall surfaces of the first coupling portion 161 facing the two sliding plates 150, and each sliding post SB is movably arranged in each first sliding groove G1 and each second sliding groove G2. In short, the adapter 160 adjusts its position in the internal space AS through the relative movement of each sliding post SB in each first sliding groove G1 and each second sliding groove G2.

[0060] refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B , the adapter 160 is not connected to the wireless receiver 200, and the adapter 160 slides relative to the two sliding plates 150 along the horizontal direction PD, that is, the two sliding posts SB can slide in the two first sliding grooves G1 along the horizontal direction PD. Each first sliding groove G1 has a first end E1 close to the connection port 140. When the two sliding posts SB abut against the first ends E1 of the two first sliding grooves G1, the first coupling portion 161 of the adapter 160 is away from the outer edge of the housing 111 and the second coupling portion 162 of the adapter 160 is connected to the connection port 140. At the same time, the outer cover 120 is tightly closed with the opening OP of the housing 111 to cover the internal space AS and the adapter 160.

[0065] In short, the electronic device 100 of the present invention sets the connection port 140 in the internal space AS of the host 110 and combines it with the adaptor 160 that can change its position. When the wireless receiver 200 needs to be inserted, the outer cover 120 can be manually opened and the adaptor 160 can be moved and rotated to protrude outside the host 110 to facilitate the connection of the wireless receiver 200. Then, the adaptor 160 and the wireless receiver 200 are turned and connected to the connection port 140 to start the operation of the wireless receiver 200. Finally, the outer cover 120 is tightly fitted to the opening OP of the shell 111 to hide the wireless receiver 200 in the host 110.

[0066] Based on the above, in the electronic device of the present invention, the adapter is located in the storage space of the host and can be changed in position within the host. When the user is not using the wireless receiver, the outer cover is used to cover the opening and internal space of the host. When the user wants to use the wireless receiver, the outer cover is first separated from the opening of the host, and then the position of the adapter is adjusted so that the adapter part protrudes outside the opening of the host, and then the wireless receiver is connected to the adapter, and then the adapter is rotated to return to the host and coupled to the connection port, so that the wireless receiver starts to operate, and finally the outer cover is tightly closed to the opening of the host to hide the wireless receiver.
