Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic device design, and specifically relates to an electronic device, a stylus pen, and an electronic device component. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly versatile. Electronic devices (such as tablets) often include writing and drawing functions. To enhance the user experience of these functions, a stylus is often used in conjunction with the electronic device, allowing users to write and draw more smoothly. The stylus is typically detachably attached to the side wall of the electronic device (which is typically perpendicular to the display screen) so that the stylus can be charged through the electronic device. To better secure the stylus, it is typically detachably attached to the longer side wall of the electronic device. The electronic device's buttons (such as the volume button and lock screen button) are also typically located on the longer side wall of the electronic device for easier user operation.

[0003] However, when the size of the electronic device is small, the size of the longer side wall of the electronic device is limited, which makes it easy for the stylus to interfere with the keys, thereby causing the stylus to easily conflict with the keys. If the keys are set on the shorter side wall of the electronic device, it is easy to affect the user's operating experience. When the user plays games or watches videos through the electronic device, one of the longer side walls of the electronic device is usually at the top, and the other longer side wall of the electronic device is usually at the bottom. If the keys are set on the other longer side wall of the electronic device, it is also easy to affect the user's operating experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention discloses an electronic device, a stylus pen and an electronic device assembly, so as to solve the problem in the related art that it is difficult to avoid interference between keys and the stylus pen while ensuring a good user experience of the keys.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present application discloses an electronic device for use with a stylus, wherein the disclosed electronic device includes a first housing and a button; The first housing has a mounting hole, the button is movably provided in the mounting hole to switch between a first position and a second position, and the stylus is detachably connected to the first housing; In a case where the stylus is detachably connected to the first housing, the button is driven by the stylus to move to the first position, and the button is located in the mounting hole; When the stylus is separated from the first housing, the button is in the second position, and the button is exposed outside the first housing through the mounting hole.

[0006] In a second aspect, the present application discloses a stylus pen for use with the electronic device described in the first aspect. The stylus pen includes a first drive unit and a second housing, wherein the first drive unit is a first magnetic member, the second housing includes a second inner cavity, the first magnetic member is disposed in the second inner cavity, the first housing has a first inner cavity, and the first inner cavity is communicated with the mounting hole. The electronic device further includes a transmission mechanism disposed in the first inner cavity, the transmission mechanism being transmission-connected to the button. When the stylus pen is detachably connected to the first housing, the first magnetic member drives the button to switch to the first position via the transmission mechanism; When the stylus is separated from the first housing, the button switches to the second position.

[0007] In a third aspect, the present application discloses an electronic device assembly, which includes an electronic device and a stylus. The electronic device is the electronic device described in the first aspect, and the stylus is the stylus described in the second aspect.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application improves the structure of the electronic device involved in the related art. By movably arranging a key in the mounting hole of the first shell, the key can be switched between a first position and a second position. Therefore, when the stylus is detachably connected to the first shell, the key can be in the first position and located in the mounting hole to avoid the key being exposed outside the first shell and easily interfering with the stylus detachably connected to the first shell. At the same time, when the stylus is separated from the first shell, the key can be in the second position and exposed outside the first shell through the mounting hole to enable normal use of the key. Therefore, interference between the key and the stylus can be avoided while ensuring the usage experience of the key, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like generally distinguish objects of a class and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object may be one or more.

[0013] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0014] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of the present application discloses an electronic device for use with a stylus 100 . The disclosed electronic device includes a first housing 200 and a button 300 .

[0015] The first housing 200 is a basic component of the electronic device, and is used to provide a mounting location for other components of the electronic device, wherein the button 300 is provided in the first housing 200. In addition, the first housing 200 is also used to form some functional spaces or structures, such as the mounting hole 210 and the first inner cavity 220 described below.

[0016] The key 300 is a core component for implementing command input in an electronic device. The key 300 is movably disposed in the mounting hole 210 to switch between a first position and a second position. The stylus 100 is configured to be detachably connected to the first housing 200, allowing the stylus 100 to be separated from the first housing 200 when in use and detachably connected to the first housing 200 when not in use.

[0017] During operation, when the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the side wall of the first housing 200 where the mounting hole 210 is located. The button 300 is pressed by the stylus pen 100 and is driven by the stylus pen 100 to move to the first position, so that the button 300 is located within the mounting hole 210 and does not appear outside the first housing 200 and interfere with the stylus pen 100. When the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the button 300 is in the second position, and the button 300 is exposed outside the first housing 200 through the mounting hole 210, so that it can be used normally.

[0018] Optionally, the button 300 may be a volume button or a lock screen button, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the button 300.

[0019] The electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application improves the structure of the electronic device involved in the related art. By movably disposing the button 300 in the mounting hole 210 of the first housing 200, the button 300 can be switched between a first position and a second position. Therefore, when the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the button 300 can be in the first position and located within the mounting hole 210, thereby preventing the button 300 from being exposed outside the first housing 200 and easily interfering with the stylus pen 100 detachably connected to the first housing 200. At the same time, when the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the button 300 can be in the second position and exposed outside the first housing 200 through the mounting hole 210, so that the button 300 can be used normally. In this way, the user experience of the button 300 can be ensured while avoiding interference between the button 300 and the stylus pen 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0020] In an optional technical solution, the stylus 100 may include a first driving unit 110, the first shell 200 may have a first inner cavity 220, the first inner cavity 220 may be connected to the mounting hole 210, and the electronic device may further include a transmission mechanism 400 provided in the first inner cavity 220, and the transmission mechanism 400 and the button 300 may be transmission-connected.

[0021] During operation, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the first driving unit 110 can drive the button 300 to switch to the first position via the transmission mechanism 400, allowing at least a portion of the button 300 to enter the first inner cavity 220 through the mounting hole 210. This allows the button 300 to more easily move into the first housing 200, preventing the button 300 from being exposed outside the first housing 200 and interfering with the stylus 100. When the stylus 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the button 300 can be switched to the second position, at which point the button 300 is exposed outside the first housing 200, allowing normal use.

[0022] In this structure, the key 300 can be driven through the cooperation between the first driving part 110 and the transmission mechanism 400, so that the key 300 can have a more precise movement trajectory, thereby making the movement of the key 300 more stable, and further enabling the key 300 to switch between the first position and the second position more stably.

[0023] In a further technical solution, the first driving portion 110 is a first magnetic member, and the transmission mechanism 400 may include a magnetic structure 401 and a fourth magnetic member 430. The fourth magnetic member 430 may be transmission-connected to the key 300, thereby driving the key 300 to move via the fourth magnetic member 430. Specifically, both the first magnetic member and the fourth magnetic member 430 may be magnets or electromagnetic coils, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0024] During the specific working process, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first shell 200, the first magnetic part can cooperate with the magnetic structure 401 through magnetic repulsion, so that the magnetic structure 401 can move in the direction away from the first magnetic part, thereby driving the magnetic structure 401 to approach the fourth magnetic part 430, so that the magnetic structure 401 moves to a position opposite to the fourth magnetic part 430, so that the magnetic structure 401 can be magnetically attracted to cooperate with the fourth magnetic part 430, and then the fourth magnetic part 430 can drive the button 300 to switch to the first position through the magnetic attraction cooperation between the magnetic structure 401 and the fourth magnetic part 430.

[0025] When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic part and the magnetic structure 401 is eliminated, and the magnetic structure 401 can move in a direction away from the fourth magnetic part 430, thereby moving to a position that is offset from the fourth magnetic part 430, so that the fourth magnetic part 430 is no longer affected by the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic structure 401, so that the fourth magnetic part 430 can drive the button 300 to switch to the second position.

[0026] In this structure, the first drive unit 110 drives the transmission mechanism 400 through magnetic force to move the key 300, which helps reduce friction between the first drive unit 110 and the transmission mechanism 400, thereby reducing losses and extending service life. Furthermore, because the first drive unit 110 drives the transmission mechanism 400 through magnetic force, the first drive unit 110 and the transmission mechanism 400 can be located within the stylus 100 and the electronic device, respectively. This prevents the first drive unit 110 from being exposed outside the stylus 100 and thereby affecting the aesthetics of the stylus 100, and prevents the transmission mechanism 400 from being exposed outside the electronic device and thereby affecting the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0027] In one feasible embodiment, the magnetic structure 401 may include a second magnetic member 410 and a third magnetic member 420. Specifically, the magnetic pole distribution direction of the second magnetic member 410 may be perpendicular to the magnetic pole distribution direction of the third magnetic member 420. The second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 may both be magnets or electromagnetic coils, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0028] During the specific working process, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first shell 200, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part 410 can be magnetically repelled, so that the second magnetic part 410 can move in a direction away from the first magnetic part, and the first magnetic part can drive the third magnetic part 420 to move to a position opposite to the fourth magnetic part 430 through the second magnetic part 410. The third magnetic part 420 and the fourth magnetic part 430 can be magnetically attracted to each other, so that the fourth magnetic part 430 drives the button 300 to switch to the first position through the magnetic attraction between the third magnetic part 420 and the fourth magnetic part 430.

[0029] When the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 is eliminated, and the third magnetic member 420 can move to a position offset from the fourth magnetic member 430. This allows the fourth magnetic member 430 to no longer be affected by the magnetic attraction of the third magnetic member 420, allowing the fourth magnetic member 430 to drive the button 300 to switch to the second position. Specifically, in this case, since the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the second magnetic member 410 is no longer affected by the magnetic repulsion of the first magnetic member, and the third magnetic member 420 can move away from the fourth magnetic member 430 to a position offset from the fourth magnetic member 430.

[0030] In this structure, the magnetic structure 401 can more accurately cooperate magnetically with the first magnetic member and the fourth magnetic member 430 through the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 , respectively, thereby facilitating improved driving reliability.

[0031] Optionally, the second magnetic member 410 can be connected to the third magnetic member 420, so that the third magnetic member 420 can move along with the movement of the second magnetic member 410, that is, the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 can move synchronously, so that the second magnetic member 410 can more conveniently drive the third magnetic member 420 to move synchronously, so that the third magnetic member 420 can more easily move to a position opposite to or staggered with the fourth magnetic member 430.

[0032] Of course, the second magnetic member 410 can also be disconnected from the third magnetic member 420. When the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the first magnetic member can be positioned opposite the second magnetic member 410 and magnetically repel each other, while the third magnetic member 420 can be positioned opposite the fourth magnetic member 430 and magnetically attract each other, so that the fourth magnetic member 430 drives the button 300 to the first position. When the stylus 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the third magnetic member 420 can be offset from the fourth magnetic member 430, so that the fourth magnetic member 430 can drive the button 300 to the second position. This structure allows for more flexible placement of the second and third magnetic members 410, 420, thereby facilitating the layout of the electronic device.

[0033] In another embodiment, the first driving portion 110 may be a driving protrusion, and the transmission mechanism 400 may be a transmission rod. The first end of the transmission rod may be connected to the button 300. The driving protrusion is used to press the second end of the transmission rod to swing the transmission rod, thereby causing the first end of the transmission rod to drive the button 300 to move, so that the button 300 can be switched to the first position. Of course, in other embodiments, the first driving portion 110 may be a driving motor, and the transmission mechanism 400 may be a belt drive mechanism, a cam mechanism, or a rack and pinion mechanism. The specific structures of the first driving portion 110 and the transmission mechanism 400 are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0034] In an alternative technical solution, the electronic device may further include a first guide portion 510, and the first housing 200 may further include a mounting base 230. The mounting base 230 and the first guide portion 510 may both be disposed within the first inner cavity 220. The mounting base 230 may be fixed to the inner wall of the first inner cavity 220, and the mounting base 230 and the button 300 may be opposite each other. The first guide portion 510 may be fixed to a side of the mounting base 230 facing the button 300. The button 300 may slide with the first guide portion 510 in a first direction to switch between a first position and a second position. The first direction may be parallel to the central axis of the mounting hole 210.

[0035] Specifically, when the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the button 300 can slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the mounting base 230 to move to the first position. When the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the button 300 can slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the mounting base 230 to move to the second position.

[0036] This structure guides the movement of the button 300 through the first guide portion 510, so that the button 300 can move more stably, preventing the button 300 from easily moving in a direction perpendicular to the first direction during movement, and allowing the button 300 to switch between the first position and the second position more stably.

[0037] In order to better guide the movement of the button 300, there can be multiple first guide parts 510. Of course, there can also be one first guide part 510, which is beneficial to saving costs and reducing the occupation of the space in the first inner cavity 220.

[0038] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism 400 may further include a slider 440 and a first bracket 450. The first bracket 450 may be located between the button 300 and the mounting base 230. The button 300 may be supported by the first bracket 450. The button 300 may slide in cooperation with the first guide portion 510 in a first direction via the first bracket 450. The fourth magnetic member 430 may be fixedly connected to the slider 440 so that the slider 440 can move synchronously with the fourth magnetic member 430. The slider 440 may be slidably disposed on a side of the mounting base 230 facing the first bracket 450, that is, the slider 440 may be located between the mounting base 230 and the first bracket 450. The fourth magnetic member 430 is used to drive the first bracket 450 to slide relative to the first guide portion 510 via the slider 440, so that the button 300 switches between the first position and the second position.

[0039] During operation, when the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the fourth magnetic member 430, via the slider 440, drives the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the mounting base 230, thereby switching the button 300 to the first position. When the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the fourth magnetic member 430, via the slider 440, drives the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the mounting base 230, thereby switching the button 300 to the second position.

[0040] In this structure, the key 300 cooperates with the first guide portion 510 and the slider 440 respectively via the first bracket 450, thereby preventing wear on the key 300 and extending the service life of the key 300. At the same time, the fourth magnetic member 430 cooperates with the mounting base 230 and the first bracket 450 respectively via the slider 440, thereby preventing wear on the fourth magnetic member 430 and thus preventing the stability of the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic member 430 and the third magnetic member 420 from being affected.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the fourth magnetic member 430 can directly drive the first bracket 450 to slide relative to the first guide portion 510, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing the complexity of the transmission mechanism 400, thereby helping to reduce maintenance costs and failure rates.

[0042] Optionally, a first limit buckle can be provided at the end of the first guide portion 510 facing away from the mounting base 230, thereby preventing the first bracket 450 from detaching from the first guide portion 510, which would make it difficult for the button 300 to stably slide with the first guide portion 510 through the first bracket 450.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first bracket 450 may have a first guide slope 451, and the slider 440 may have a second guide slope 441. The first guide slope 451 is used to slide with the second guide slope 441 as the slider 440 slides, so as to drive the first bracket 450 to slide relative to the first guide portion 510.

[0044] Specifically, the fourth magnetic member 430 can be located between the first bracket 450 and the third magnetic member 420. When the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 can engage in magnetic repulsion and drive the third magnetic member 420 to a position opposite the fourth magnetic member 430. The third magnetic member 420 and the fourth magnetic member 430 then engage in magnetic attraction, allowing the fourth magnetic member 430 to approach the third magnetic member 420. This allows the fourth magnetic member 430 to drive the slider 440 to slide away from the first bracket 450. The slider 440 can then drive the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the mounting base 230 through the engagement of the second guide slope 441 and the first guide slope 451, thereby switching the button 300 to the first position.

[0045] When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 is eliminated, and the second magnetic member 410 is no longer affected by the magnetic repulsion of the first magnetic member, so that the third magnetic member 420 can move to a position offset from the fourth magnetic member 430, so that the fourth magnetic member 430 is no longer affected by the magnetic attraction of the third magnetic member 420, which allows the fourth magnetic member 430 to move away from the third magnetic member 420, so that the fourth magnetic member 430 can slide toward the direction close to the first bracket 450, so that the slider 440 can drive the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 in the direction away from the mounting base 230 through the cooperation between the second guide slope 441 and the first guide slope 451, thereby switching the button 300 to the second position.

[0046] This structure is relatively simple and easy to implement, which helps to reduce costs. Moreover, the second guide bevel 441 and the first guide bevel 451 are both planes, which allows the second guide bevel 441 and the first guide bevel 451 to cooperate more smoothly, so that the slider 440 can stably drive the first bracket 450 to slide relative to the first guide portion 510.

[0047] In other embodiments, the slider 440 may include a gear, and the first bracket 450 may include a rack, so that the gear and rack cooperate to enable the slider 440 to drive the first bracket 450 to slide relative to the first guide portion 510. Of course, the slider 440 may include a cam, and the first bracket 450 may be connected to the cam transmission, so that the slider 440 drives the first bracket 450 to slide relative to the first guide portion 510 via the cam. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific cooperation method between the slider 440 and the first bracket 450.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission mechanism 400 may further include a first elastic member 460. A first end of the first elastic member 460 may be connected to the mounting base 230, and a second end of the first elastic member 460 may be connected to the slider 440. The first elastic member 460 is configured to drive the button 300 to switch to the second position via the slider 440. Specifically, the first elastic member 460 may drive the slider 440 to slide through a first elastic deformation, thereby driving the button 300 to switch to the second position. The first elastic deformation may be a tensile deformation or a compressive deformation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0049] During operation, the fourth magnetic member 430 can be located between the first bracket 450 and the third magnetic member 420. When the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 can engage in magnetic repulsion and drive the third magnetic member 420 to a position opposite the fourth magnetic member 430, causing the third magnetic member 420 and the fourth magnetic member 430 to engage in magnetic attraction. This allows the fourth magnetic member 430 to approach the third magnetic member 420, thereby causing the fourth magnetic member 430 to drive the slider 440 to slide away from the first bracket 450. The slider 440 then drives the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the mounting base 230, thereby switching the button 300 to the first position.

[0050] When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 is eliminated, and the second magnetic member 410 is no longer affected by the magnetic repulsion of the first magnetic member, so that the third magnetic member 420 can move to a position offset from the fourth magnetic member 430, so that the fourth magnetic member 430 is no longer affected by the magnetic attraction of the third magnetic member 420, which allows the fourth magnetic member 430 to move away from the third magnetic member 420, so that the fourth magnetic member 430 can slide toward the direction close to the first bracket 450, so that the slider 440 can drive the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 in the direction away from the mounting base 230, thereby switching the button 300 to the second position.

[0051] As described above, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the fourth magnetic member 430 is magnetically attracted by the third magnetic member 420, causing the fourth magnetic member 430 to drive the slider 440 to slide away from the first bracket 450. This causes the first elastic member 460 to be stretched and deformed, placing it in a stretched state. When the stylus 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the fourth magnetic member 430 is no longer magnetically attracted by the third magnetic member 420, causing the stretched first elastic member 460 to retract, thereby pulling the slider 440 toward the first bracket 450. The slider 440 then drives the first bracket 450 along the first guide portion 510 away from the mounting base 230, thereby switching the button 300 to the second position. After the button 300 is switched to the second position, the slider 440 returns to its original position, and the first elastic member 460 returns to its natural state.

[0052] Of course, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first shell 200, the first elastic member 460 may also be compressed to produce compression deformation and be in a compressed state. When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the first elastic member 460 in the compressed state stretches, thereby pushing the slider 440 to slide in a direction close to the first bracket 450, so that the slider 440 can drive the first bracket 450 to slide along the first guide portion 510 in a direction away from the mounting base 230, thereby switching the button 300 to the second position. After the button 300 switches to the second position, the slider 440 is reset, and the first elastic member 460 can be in a natural state.

[0053] In other words, this structure can achieve automatic reset of the slider 440 through the first elastic member 460, and the slider 440 is connected to the fourth magnetic member 430, so that the slider 440 can move synchronously with the fourth magnetic member 430, thereby achieving automatic reset of the fourth magnetic member 430, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the electronic device and making user operation more convenient. Specifically, the first elastic member 460 can be a spring or elastic rubber, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0054] In an optional technical solution, the electronic device may further include a second guide portion 520 disposed in the first inner cavity 220, and the transmission mechanism 400 may further include a second bracket 470. The second guide portion 520 and the second bracket 470 may both be disposed on the side of the mounting base 230 facing the button 300, the second guide portion 520 and the mounting base 230 may be fixedly connected, and the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 may both be fixed to the second bracket 470, thereby achieving synchronous movement of the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 through the second bracket 470. Specifically, the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 may be respectively fixed to two mutually perpendicular surfaces of the second bracket 470, so that the magnetic pole distribution direction of the second magnetic member 410 may be perpendicular to the magnetic pole distribution direction of the third magnetic member 420.

[0055] At the same time, the second bracket 470 can slide with the second guide portion 520 in the first direction, so that the second magnetic member 410 drives the third magnetic member 420 to move to a position opposite to or offset from the fourth magnetic member 430 through the second bracket 470 .

[0056] Specifically, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first shell 200, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part 410 are magnetically repelled, so that the second magnetic part 410 can drive the second bracket 470 to slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the direction close to the mounting base 230, thereby allowing the second magnetic part 410 to drive the third magnetic part 420 through the second bracket 470 to move toward the direction close to the fourth magnetic part 430, so as to move to a position opposite to the fourth magnetic part 430.

[0057] When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component 410 is eliminated, and the second magnetic component 410 is no longer affected by the magnetic repulsion of the first magnetic component, so that the second magnetic component 410 can drive the second bracket 470 to slide along the first guide portion 510 in a direction away from the mounting base 230, so that the second magnetic component 410 drives the third magnetic component 420 through the second bracket 470 to move in a direction away from the fourth magnetic component 430, so as to move to a position offset from the fourth magnetic component 430.

[0058] This structure guides the movement of the second bracket 470 through the second guide portion 520, so that the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 can be driven to move more stably through the second bracket 470, so that the third magnetic member 420 can switch between a position relative to the fourth magnetic member 430 or a staggered position.

[0059] In order to better guide the movement of the second bracket 470, there can be multiple second guide parts 520. Of course, there can also be one second guide part 520, which is beneficial to saving costs and reducing the occupation of the space in the first inner cavity 220.

[0060] Optionally, a second limit buckle can be provided at the end of the second guide portion 520 facing away from the mounting base 230, thereby preventing the second bracket 470 from detaching from the second guide portion 520, which would make it difficult for the second bracket 470 to stably slide with the second guide portion 520 through the second bracket 470.

[0061] In a further technical solution, the transmission mechanism 400 may also include a second driving part 480, the first end of the second driving part 480 may be connected to the mounting base 230, and the second end of the second driving part 480 may be connected to the second bracket 470. The second driving part 480 is used to drive the third magnetic part 420 to move to a position offset from the fourth magnetic part 430 through the second bracket 470, thereby enabling the third magnetic part 420 to be automatically reset. At the same time, since the second magnetic part 410 moves with the movement of the second bracket 470, the second driving part 480 can achieve automatic reset of the second magnetic part 410 through the second bracket 470, thereby improving the working efficiency of the electronic device and making it easier for users to operate.

[0062] For example, the second driving portion 480 may be a second elastic member, so that the second bracket 470 can be driven to move by the second elastic deformation of the second elastic member to achieve automatic resetting of the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420. Specifically, the second elastic member may be a spring or elastic rubber, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0063] In the case where the second driving part 480 is a second elastic part, in one embodiment, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first shell 200, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part 410 are magnetically repelled, so that the second magnetic part 410 can drive the second bracket 470 to slide along the first guide part 510 toward the direction close to the installation base 230, so that the third magnetic part 420 moves to a position opposite to the fourth magnetic part 430, so that the second elastic part is compressed and deformed and is in a compressed state.

[0064] When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component 410 is eliminated, and the second magnetic component 410 is no longer affected by the magnetic repulsion of the first magnetic component, so that the second elastic component in the compressed state stretches, thereby pushing the second bracket 470 to slide along the first guide portion 510 in the direction away from the mounting base 230, so as to drive the second magnetic component 410 and the third magnetic component 420 to move in the direction away from the fourth magnetic component 430, so that the third magnetic component 420 moves to a position misaligned with the fourth magnetic component 430, thereby allowing the second elastic component to return to its natural state.

[0065] In another embodiment, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first shell 200, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 are magnetically repelled, so that the second magnetic member 410 can drive the second bracket 470 to slide along the first guide portion 510 toward the direction close to the mounting base 230, so that the third magnetic member 420 moves to a position opposite to the fourth magnetic member 430, so that the second elastic member is stretched and deformed and is in a stretched state.

[0066] When the stylus 100 is separated from the first shell 200, the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 410 is eliminated, and the second magnetic member 410 is no longer affected by the magnetic repulsion of the first magnetic member, so that the second elastic member in the stretched state retracts, thereby pulling the second bracket 470 to slide along the first guide portion 510 in a direction away from the mounting base 230, so as to drive the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 to move in a direction away from the fourth magnetic member 430, so that the third magnetic member 420 moves to a position misaligned with the fourth magnetic member 430, thereby allowing the second elastic member to return to its natural state.

[0067] In addition, when the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200 , the second magnetic member 410 can contact the inner wall of the first inner cavity 220 , so that the second magnetic member 410 can be stably disposed in the first inner cavity 220 .

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments, the second driving portion 480 may be a telescopic rod, so that the second bracket 470 can be driven to move through the telescopic deformation of the telescopic rod to achieve automatic resetting of the second magnetic member 410 and the third magnetic member 420 .

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the button 300 may include a limiting portion 310, and the first housing 200 may have a limiting groove 240. The limiting groove 240 may be provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 210 and may be in communication with the mounting hole 210. The limiting portion 310 may be provided in the limiting groove 240. In a specific operation, when the stylus pen 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the button 300 is in a first position, and the limiting portion 310 may abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 240 away from the outside of the first housing 200. When the stylus pen 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the button 300 is in a second position, and the limiting portion 310 may abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 240 closer to the outside of the first housing 200.

[0070] This structure can limit the travel of the key 300 through the cooperation between the limiting portion 310 and the limiting groove 240, thereby preventing the key 300 from moving excessively and exceeding the travel of the key 300 when switching between the first position and the second position, thereby causing the key 300 to detach from the first shell 200, or causing the key 300 to sink into the first shell 200 and easily damage other components in the first shell 200.

[0071] In one feasible technical solution, the electronic device may further include a circuit board 710 and a key switch 720. The circuit board 710 and the key switch 720 may be disposed between the key 300 and the first bracket 450. The circuit board 710 may be fixed to a side of the first bracket 450 facing the key 300. The key switch 720 may be fixed to a side of the circuit board 710 facing the key 300 and may be electrically connected to the circuit board 710. The key switch 720 may be opposite to the key 300 and may be connected to the key 300 so that the key switch 720 can be activated by pressing the key 300, thereby enabling input of a command. Specifically, the circuit board 710 may be a printed circuit board or a flexible circuit board, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0072] Based on the electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application further disclose a stylus pen 100 for use with any of the electronic devices described in any of the above embodiments. The disclosed stylus pen 100 includes a first driving unit 110 and a second shell 120. The first driving unit 110 is a first magnetic member. The second shell 120 includes a second inner cavity 121. The first magnetic member is disposed in the second inner cavity 121. The first shell 200 has a first inner cavity 220. The first inner cavity 220 is connected to the mounting hole 210. The electronic device also includes a transmission mechanism 400 disposed in the first inner cavity 220. The transmission mechanism 400 is transmission-connected to the button 300.

[0073] During operation, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the first magnetic member drives the button 300 to the first position via the transmission mechanism 400. When the stylus 100 is separated from the first housing 200, the button 300 switches to the second position. In this structure, the first magnetic member drives the transmission mechanism 400 through magnetic force, which in turn drives the button 300. This helps reduce friction between the first magnetic member and the transmission mechanism 400, thereby reducing wear and tear and extending the service life.

[0074] Furthermore, the stylus pen 100 may further include a first connecting portion 130, which may be disposed in the second inner cavity 121. The electronic device may further include a second connecting portion 610, which may be disposed in the first inner cavity 220. The first connecting portion 130 may be a fifth magnetic member, and the second connecting portion 610 may be a sixth magnetic member. The first connecting portion 130 is configured to magnetically engage with the second connecting portion 610 to detachably connect the stylus pen 100 to the first housing 200. This structure achieves detachable connection between the stylus pen 100 and the first housing 200 by magnetically engaging the first connecting portion 130 and the second connecting portion 610, thereby facilitating assembly and disassembly of the stylus pen 100 and improving the user experience.

[0075] Specifically, the fifth magnetic component and the sixth magnetic component may both be magnets or electromagnetic coils, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0076] Of course, the stylus pen 100 and the first housing 200 may also be detachably connected by snapping together. This structure is relatively simple, easy to implement, and helps to reduce costs.

[0077] Optionally, the stylus 100 may further include a first charging unit 140, and the electronic device may further include a second charging unit 620. The first charging unit 140 may be disposed in the second inner cavity 121, and the second charging unit 620 may be disposed in the first inner cavity 220. When the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first housing 200, the first charging unit 140 may be electrically connected to the second charging unit 620 to charge the stylus 100 through the electronic device, thereby enabling timely and convenient charging of the stylus 100.

[0078] Specifically, the first charging unit 140 and the second charging unit 620 can be electrically connected via magnetic attraction, allowing the electronic device to charge the stylus 100 via wireless charging. This structure facilitates convenient electrical connection between the first charging unit 140 and the second charging unit 620, and improves the aesthetics of the stylus 100 and the electronic device. Of course, the first charging unit 140 and the second charging unit 620 can also be electrically connected via plug-in mating. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific method of achieving electrical connection between the first charging unit 140 and the second charging unit 620.

[0079] Furthermore, the second connection portion 610, the second charging portion 620, and the mounting hole 210 can all be disposed on the first sidewall 250 of the first housing 200, such that the second connection portion 610, the second charging portion 620, and the button 300 can all be disposed on the first sidewall 250 of the first housing 200. The first housing 200 can further include a second sidewall 260, a third sidewall 270, and a fourth sidewall 280. The first sidewall 250 can be disposed opposite the second sidewall 260, and the third sidewall 270 can be disposed opposite the fourth sidewall 280. The first sidewall 250 can be connected to the third sidewall 270 and the fourth sidewall 280, respectively, and the second sidewall 260 can be connected to the third sidewall 270 and the fourth sidewall 280, respectively. The first sidewall 250 and the second sidewall 260 can both be the longer sidewalls of the first housing 200, and the third sidewall 270 and the fourth sidewall 280 can both be the shorter sidewalls of the first housing 200.

[0080] This structure can avoid the situation where the first shell 200 is smaller due to the smaller size of the electronic device, resulting in a shorter length of the first side wall 250, which can easily cause interference between the key 300 and the stylus 100. This structure can also avoid the situation where the stylus 100 is placed on the third side wall 270 or the fourth side wall 280, so as to avoid the situation where the length of the third side wall 270 and the fourth side wall 280 is too short, making it difficult to stably connect the stylus 100.

[0081] At the same time, in this structure, since the second connecting portion 610, the second charging portion 620 and the button 300 can all be arranged on the first side wall 250 of the first shell 200, the stylus 100 can be charged promptly and conveniently while being detachably connected to the first side wall 250, and interference between the button 300 and the stylus 100 can be avoided.

[0082] In addition, during actual use, the user can support the electronic device on a supporting surface (such as a desktop) by making the second side wall 260 contact the supporting surface, thereby being able to more conveniently experience videos or games. Since the first side wall 250 is opposite to the second side wall 260, when the stylus 100 is detachably connected to the first side wall 250, this structure will not affect the connection between the stylus 100 and the first side wall 250, thereby not affecting the electronic device's charging of the stylus 100. When the stylus 100 is separated from the first side wall 250, this structure will not affect the hand button 300, thereby not affecting the user's operation of the button 300.

[0083] It should be noted that the length direction of the first side wall 250 can be parallel to the length direction of the second side wall 260, the length direction of the third side wall 270 can be parallel to the length direction of the fourth side wall 280, and the length direction of the first side wall 250 and the length direction of the third side wall 270 can be respectively perpendicular to the orientation of the screen 800 of the electronic device.

[0084] Based on the electronic device and stylus 100 disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application further disclose an electronic device component. The disclosed electronic device component includes an electronic device and a stylus 100. The electronic device is any one of the electronic devices described in the above embodiments, and the stylus 100 is any one of the stylus 100 described in the above embodiments.

[0085] In the examples of this application, the electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, e-book reader, electronic game console and other devices, and the stylus 100 can be a capacitive pen or an ultrasonic pen. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific types of electronic devices and stylus 100.

[0086] The above embodiments of the present invention focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features of the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

[0087] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention and the claims, all of which are protected by the present invention.
