[0025] The step numbers in the following embodiments are not intended to limit the execution order of each step. The step numbers are only for ease of description. Different execution orders of steps can be combined in a logical order to solve the same technical problem.

[0026] With the development and widespread adoption of information technology, electronic devices (especially smart mobile terminals) have evolved from simple communication or computing tools into tools used in multiple scenarios, including work, life, entertainment, and health. Traditional all-in-one device forms (such as tablets and traditional laptops) have limitations in specific scenarios. For example, when watching videos, reading ebooks, or playing mobile games, users seek maximum, uninterrupted visual immersion. However, when processing documents, editing, or developing software, users require multitasking capabilities and ergonomic input methods. Furthermore, the relatively fixed form factors of electronic devices in related technologies cannot adapt to the different needs of various usage environments.

[0027] This application provides an electronic device, with reference to... Figures 1 to 6 The electronic device includes a first body 1 and a second body 2 rotatably connected. The relative rotation between the first body 1 and the second body 2 enables the electronic device to have a first device form and a second device form different from the first device form. In the first device form, the first surface 11 of the first body 1 and the second surface 21 of the second body 2 are opposite to each other and form a receiving space between them, which can be used to place a target external device 5. The second surface 21 of the second body 2 is provided with a first interface area 30. When the target external device 5 is placed on the second surface 21, the target external device 5 can establish a target communication connection with the electronic device through the target interface 31 in the first interface area 30 to adjust the target performance and / or target function of the electronic device. In the second device form, the first interface area 30 can be used for the electronic device to establish a communication connection with different target external devices 5 to switch the structural form of the electronic device and / or adjust different performance and / or functions of the electronic device.

[0028] In this embodiment of the application, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are rotatably connected. The first body 1 and the second body 2 rotate relative to each other, which can change the angle between the first body 1 and the second body 2, so that the electronic device has different first device form and second device form.

[0029] In this embodiment of the application, in the first device configuration, the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be kept relatively parallel, which can be understood as the first body 1 and the second body 2 being stacked in the first device configuration.

[0030] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 In the second device configuration, there may be an angle between the first body 1 and the second body 2, and this application does not limit the size of the angle between the first body 1 and the second body 2. For example, the angle between the first body 1 and the second body 2 may be between 30 degrees and 360 degrees.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first body 1 may include a display screen, or it may only include a support bracket, which can be used to mount components such as an extended screen, keyboard, or touch screen. The first body 1 may also house some computer components, such as a processor, antenna module, storage device, or heat dissipation component. For example, the first body 1 may include a display screen for displaying visual information.

[0032] In this embodiment of the application, the second body 2 may include a host system or a keyboard, etc. The host system may include a processor, storage components, battery components and heat dissipation components, etc.

[0033] For example, taking a laptop computer as an example, the first body 1 can be a part including a display screen, and the second body 2 can be a part including a keyboard (including a touchpad). The first device form is a form in which the display screen and keyboard are closed; the second device form is a form in which the display screen and keyboard are open relative to each other.

[0034] In this embodiment of the application, in the first device configuration, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are relatively parallel or have a small included angle (generally less than 3 degrees or 5 degrees). The first surface 11 is the surface of the first body 1 facing the second body 2, and the second surface 21 is the surface of the second body 2 facing the first body 1. Therefore, in the first device configuration, the first surface 11 and the second surface 21 cover each other.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are relatively parallel, there is a gap between the first surface 11 and the second surface 21 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 11 and the second surface 21. The first surface 11 and the second surface 21 enclose a receiving space, and the size of the gap can affect the volume of the receiving space. In this embodiment, the size of the gap is not limited and can be adjusted according to the size of the structure to be placed in the receiving space.

[0036] In this embodiment, the accommodating space can hold one target external device 5, or multiple target external devices 5; this application does not limit this. The accommodating space can be used to house components such as extended display screens, keyboards, touchpads, writing tablets, drawing tablets, and game controllers.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The target external device 5 can be set on the second surface 21 of the second body 2. The second surface 21 of the second body 2 is provided with a first interface area 30. The target external device 5 can communicate with the electronic device through the target interface 31 in the first interface area 30, that is, the target external device 5 can realize the extended function of the electronic device. The target external device 5 can be a display screen, keyboard, touchpad, writing tablet, drawing tablet, game controller and other components.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first interface area 30 can be a structure such as a groove, a slider, or a boss, to facilitate the alignment and connection between the target external device 5 and the first interface area 30. For example, if the first interface area 30 is a groove, the target external device 5 can be provided with a slider that matches the groove. The connection between the target external device 5 and the first interface area 30 is achieved by the slider sliding within the groove.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 The target interface 31 can be a spring-loaded conductive connector (POGO pin), a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Connector) or an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable Connector), a DP (Display Port), an EDP (Embedded Display Port) interface, a MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) interface, or a Magic Bay (Lenovo Magic Bay Interface) interface, etc.

[0040] For example, the first interface area 30 can be a boss structure provided on the second surface 21. The boss structure contains multiple spring-loaded conductive connectors (POGO pins). The target external device 5 can have a groove matching the boss structure, and a connector capable of communicating with the POGO pins is provided within the groove. During the connection process between the target external device 5 and the second surface 21, the boss structure can be used to limit the connection with the target external device 5, facilitating the connection between the connector and the POGO pins. The target interface 31 can be all the pins of the POGO pins, or only some of the pins.

[0041] In this embodiment, in the second device configuration, the second surface 21 of the second body 2 is exposed, enabling the connection and replacement of the target external device 5 relative to the second body 2. In the first device configuration, the accommodating space can be used to accommodate the target external device 5, facilitating the storage of the electronic device.

[0042] In this embodiment, the target external device 5 establishes a target communication connection with the target structure, enabling the target external device 5 and the electronic device to perform data interaction and power transmission.

[0043] In this embodiment of the application, there can be multiple target external devices 5. By replacing different target external devices 5, different functions of the electronic device can be extended.

[0044] In this embodiment, connecting different target external devices 5 can add extended functions or enhance the performance of the electronic device. The target performance of the electronic device may include its display performance, battery life, storage performance, data processing performance, etc.; the target functions may include its display function, input function, touch function, handwriting function, gaming performance, drawing function, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second body 2 may or may not be connected to the target external device 5. Furthermore, the second body 2 can be connected to different target external devices 5, thus allowing for adjustments to the structural form of the electronic device. The structural form of the electronic device can be understood as its different forms during use, thereby meeting different usage scenarios. For example, different forms of the electronic device may include a laptop form, a "book" form, a tent form, a tablet form, or an external expansion form, a dual-screen form, etc.

[0046] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The first body 1 may include a first display screen 51, and the target external device 5 may include a third display screen 52. The third display screen 52 establishes a communication connection with the electronic device through a POGO pin provided on the second body 2, thereby adding a third display screen 52 to the existing screen on the electronic device, thus expanding the display area or serving as a secondary screen. Based on this, the form of the electronic device can be understood as a "book" form, i.e., referring to... Figure 3 Similar to the way a book is opened, the area where the first body 1 and the second body 2 connect the pivot is placed in a vertical direction, and the display screen and the first extended screen form two display areas.

[0047] Based on this, refer to Figure 9 The keyboard device 53 can establish a communication connection with electronic devices via Bluetooth wireless connection or via cable wired connection, so as to retain the function of keyboard input in book form.

[0048] In another embodiment, the target external device 5 can be a touchscreen. The touchscreen establishes a communication connection with the electronic device through a POGO pin provided on the second body 2, thereby adding touchscreen functionality to the existing physical screen of the electronic device. Information can be input to the electronic device through the touchscreen. Based on this, refer to Figure 2 Touchscreens can include keyboard functionality as well as other customizable features. Furthermore, electronic devices can adapt their structure to suit user habits.

[0049] In another example, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The first body 1 may include a first display screen 51, and the target external device 5 may include a keyboard device 53. The keyboard device 53 establishes a communication connection with the electronic device through a POGO pin provided on the second body 2, thereby adding the function of input via the keyboard device 53 to the electronic device, which already has a display screen. Based on this, the electronic device can be in the form of a laptop computer.

[0050] In this embodiment of the electronic device, a first body 1 and a second body 2 are rotatably connected. The relative rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2 changes the angle and orientation between them, resulting in different first and second device forms for the electronic device. In the first device form, the first surface 11 of the first body 1 and the second surface 21 of the second body 2 are opposite each other, maintaining a parallel position. The first surface 11 and the second surface 21 form a receiving space, allowing the target external device 5 to be placed within this space, thus facilitating its storage and portability. Since the second surface 21 of the second body 2 has a first interface area 30, which is located within the receiving space in the first device form, when the electronic device switches to the first device form, the target external device 5, already connected to the target interface 31 of the first interface area 30, does not need to be removed. The rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2 allows for the storage of the target external device 5, facilitating its direct use next time. Since the target external device 5 can establish a target communication connection with the electronic device through the target interface 31 of the second body 2, by adjusting the target external device 5 connected to the target interface 31, different communication connections can be established with the electronic device to adjust the target performance and / or target function of the electronic device. This also allows the electronic device to change its structural form while achieving different target functions, increasing the diversity of its usage and functions, and improving the flexibility of adjusting different usage methods and functions. Therefore, the electronic device provided in this application embodiment not only improves the diversity and flexibility of adjusting different usage methods and functions, but also increases portability.

[0051] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 The first body 1 and the second body 2 are connected by a first connecting component 40 to achieve relative rotation in the opening and closing direction. The second body 2 has a first edge 23 that connects to the first connecting component 40, and a first interface area 30 is located near the first edge 23. And / or, the second body 2 is also provided with at least one set of first connectors 41, which are used to restrict the target external device 5 from separating from the second body 2.

[0052] In this embodiment of the application, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are rotatably connected by the first connecting component 40. It can be understood that when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are stacked, the first connecting component 40 is connected to the edge of the first body 1 and the second body 2 on the same side, so that the first body 1 and the second body 2 can rotate around the side connected to the first connecting component 40.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first connecting component 40 can be a single-axis rotating component, a dual-axis rotating component, or a watchband-style multi-segment rotating component. For example, the first connecting component 40 can be a dual-axis rotating component, which can realize 360-degree rotation between the first body 1 and the second body 2, and can enable the first body 1 and the second body 2 to form a notebook shape, a "book" shape, a tent shape, or a pad shape, etc. by rotating.

[0054] In this embodiment, since the first interface region 30 is disposed on the second surface 21 of the second body 2, it can be understood that the first edge 23 may refer to the edge of the second body 2 closer to the first connecting component 40. For example, refer to... Figure 6 The second surface 21 of the second body 2 has a center line L. The central axis divides the second surface 21 into two parts. The first connecting component 40 is connected to the edge of one of the parts. The side of the second surface 21 near the first connecting component 40 can be understood as the side between the center line L and the first connecting component 40 on the second surface 21.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first connector 41 can also be used to connect the target external device 5 and the second body 2. The first connector 41 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, a slot structure, or a magnetic component, etc., capable of connecting the target external device 5 and the second body 2, and also preventing separation of the target external device 5 and the second body 2 while they are connected. This application does not limit the number of second connectors 42; they can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0056] For example, the first connector 41 may include a first magnetic 841 and a second magnetic 841. The target external device 5 is provided with the first magnetic 841, and the second body 2 is provided with the second magnetic 841. The first magnetic 841 and the second magnetic 841 are aligned and arranged to realize the connection between the target external device 5 and the second body 2, while preventing the target external device 5 and the second body 2 from separating.

[0057] In the electronic device of this application embodiment, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are rotated relative to each other through the first connecting component 40. That is, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are connected through the first connecting component. Since the second body 2 has a first edge 23 that connects to the first connecting component 40, the first edge 23 can be understood as the rotation axis between the first body 1 and the second body 2, or the first edge 23 is close to the rotation axis between the first body 1 and the second body 2. Therefore, the first edge 23 is closer to the first body 1 than other areas on the second body 2. Since the target interface 31 of the first interface area 30 is used to establish a communication connection with the target external device 5, the target interface 31 will have electrical connections with other components inside the second body 2 and the first body. By setting the first interface area 30 close to the first edge 23, the distance between the target interface 31 and the rotating shaft and the first body 1 can be shortened, the length of the line can be shortened, and the layout and routing of the line can be simplified. During the relative rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2, the line does not need to follow the movement significantly, but only needs a small twist, which reduces the possibility of line entanglement and pulling, and extends the life of the line. At the same time, since the distance between the target interface 31 and the rotating shaft is shortened, the shaking and vibration generated by the target interface 31 during the relative rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2 are smaller, which improves the stability of the connection between the target interface 31 and the target external device 5 and reduces loosening, abnormal noise or wear caused by vibration or repeated movement.

[0058] In some possible embodiments of this application, the electronic device further includes a first display screen 51 disposed on the first body 1, and the first surface 11 includes the display surface of the first display screen 51; the second surface 21 of the second body 2 does not have an input function; or, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second surface 21 of the second body 2 is also provided with a first touch interaction area 54. The electronic device can respond to the target touch operation acting on the first touch interaction area 54 and perform the corresponding response action. The first touch interaction area 54 is located near the second edge 24 of the second body 2. The second edge 24 is the edge of the second body 2 away from the first interface area 30, and / or, the first interface area 30 can trigger the first touch interaction area 54 to switch between the enabled state and the disabled state when connected or not connected to the target external device 5.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, the display surface of the first display screen 51 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the first body 1. The display surface can cover the first surface 11 or occupy a part of the first surface 11. This application does not limit this.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second surface 21 of the second body 2 can be used to provide an installation base and support base for the target external device 5, and the second surface 21 can be a plastic panel or an aluminum alloy panel.

[0061] In another embodiment of this application, the second surface 21 further includes a first touch interaction area 54, which is electrically connected to the processor of the electronic device. The user can input a target touch operation through the first touch interaction area 54, and the electronic device can respond to the target touch operation by performing the corresponding action. For example, the user can input a page-turning operation through the first touch interaction area 54, and the electronic device will perform the page-turning function.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the second edge 24 is far away from the first interface area 30. For example, the second surface 21 of the second body 2 has a center line L. The first central axis divides the second surface 21 into two parts. The first edge 23 and the second edge 24 are located on the two parts and far away from the center line L, respectively. The first touch interaction area 54 is disposed in the area between the center line L and the second edge 24.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first connecting component 40 is disposed in the area near the first edge 23, and the first touch interaction area 54 is disposed in the area near the second edge 24. That is, the first touch interaction area 54 is disposed away from the first connecting component 40. When the first body 1 and the second body 2 rotate relative to the first connecting component 40, the first touch area is located on the side with a larger opening and closing range, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, the second body 2 can be provided with a first interface area 30. The second body 2 can also be used to provide a target external device 5. In this case, the size of the target external device 5 can be adjusted according to the requirements. That is, when the target external device 5 is provided on the second surface 21, it can cover the first touch interaction area 54, or it can not cover the first touch interaction area 54, or it can cover part of the first touch interaction area 54.

[0065] In one embodiment, by connecting or not connecting the target external device 5 through the first interface area 30, the first control area can be triggered to switch between an enabled state and an disabled state. The enabled state can be understood as the switch of the first touch area being turned on, allowing it to work, that is, the function or signal of the first touch area is in an active, valid, and operable mode. The disabled state can be understood as the switch of the first touch area being turned off, prohibiting it from working, that is, the function or signal of the first touch area is in a dormant, invalid, or locked mode.

[0066] For example, when the target external device 5 is located on the second surface 21 or covers the first touch interaction area 54, the first touch interaction area 54 automatically switches to a disabled state to save energy. When the target external device 5 is not located on the second surface 21, or when the target external device 5 is located on the second surface 21 but does not cover the first touch interaction area 54, the first touch interaction area 54 switches to an enabled state. This allows the first touch interaction area 54 and the target external device 5 to work together, enriching the functionality of the electronic device. For example, the target external device 5 can be a keyboard. When the keyboard is located on the second surface 21 but does not cover the first touch interaction area 54, information input can be achieved through the keyboard and the first touch interaction area 54.

[0067] In this embodiment of the electronic device, the display surface of the first display screen 51 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the first body 1, enabling information visualization through the display surface. The second surface 21 may not have an input function, or it may be provided with a first touch interaction area 54. Through the first touch interaction area 54, a target touch operation can be input to the electronic device, causing the electronic device to execute a corresponding response action, thereby improving the functionality and flexibility of the second surface 21. Since the second edge 24 is far away from the first interface area 30, and the first touch interaction area 54 is disposed close to the second edge 24, interference between the first touch interaction area 54 and the first interface area 30 can be reduced, especially when the target external device 5 is connected to the first interface area 30, interference between the first touch interaction area 54 and the target external device 5 can be reduced. Since the first interface area 30 can be connected to or not connected to the target external device 5, the first touch interaction area 54 can be switched between an enabled state and an disabled state. Therefore, by connecting or not connecting the first interface area 30 to the target external device 5, the automatic opening and closing of the first control interaction area can be realized, which not only improves the automation of the electronic device, but also saves energy.

[0068] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 27 The first surface 11 of the first body 1 is provided with a second interface area 33 and at least one set of second connectors 42. The second interface area 33 and the second connectors 42 enable the first surface 11 of the first body 1 to carry a second display screen external to the electronic device; and / or, a wireless charging module is provided inside the second body 2, and the second surface 21 is also provided with a wireless charging sensing area corresponding to the wireless charging module. When a target external device 5 is placed on the second surface 21, the wireless charging module charges the target external device 5 through the wireless charging sensing area, or, in conjunction with the target interface 31, charges the target external device 5.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first body 1 can be used to provide a mounting and support base for the second display screen. The second display screen can communicate with the first body 1 through the auxiliary target interface 31 within the second interface area 33. The auxiliary target interface 31 can be a POGOpin, USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Connector) or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable Connector), DP (DisplayPort), EDP (Embedded DisplayPort), MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface), or MagicBay (Lenovo MagicBay Interface), etc. The second display screen can be an LCD screen, OLED screen, e-ink screen, or 3D display screen, etc.

[0070] In this embodiment, the second connector 42 enables a detachable connection between the second display screen and the first body 1. The second connector 42 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, a slot structure, or a magnetic component, etc., which can connect the second display screen and the first body 1, and also prevent the second display screen from separating from the first body 1 when they are connected. This application does not limit the number of second connectors 42, and can adjust them according to needs.

[0071] In this embodiment, the wireless charging module in the second body 2 can be a transmitting module, which may include a controller chip, a power stage circuit, a transmitting coil, and other structures. The target external device 5 can be equipped with a receiving module that matches the transmitting module. When the target external device 5 is connected to the second body 2, the receiving module and the transmitting module are aligned and can charge the target external device 5.

[0072] The electronic device of this application embodiment, because the first body 1 is provided with a second interface area 33 and a second connector 42, can realize the connection between the second display screen and the first body 1 through the second interface area 33 and the second connector 42, so that the first surface 11 of the first body 1 can be used to support and connect the external second display screen, realize the replacement of the second display screen, and improve the flexibility of the use of the electronic device. Because the second body 2 is provided with a wireless charging module, when the target external device 5 is connected to the second body 2, the target external device 5 can realize wireless charging through the wireless charging sensing area, or can assist the target interface 31 to charge the target external device 5, thereby improving charging efficiency and increasing the independent use time of the target external device 5.

[0073] In some possible embodiments of this application, the electronic device further includes a first display screen 51 disposed on the first body 1, with the first surface 11 being the display surface of the first display screen 51; the electronic device further includes a third display screen 52 placed on the second surface 21 and establishing a first communication connection with the first target interface 31 within the first interface area 30, to expand the display function of the electronic device; or, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The electronic device also includes a keyboard device 53 placed on the second surface 21 and establishing a second communication connection with the second target interface within the first interface area 30 to expand the input function of the electronic device; wherein the electronic device is able to switch from the third display screen 52 to the keyboard device 53 in response to the target external device 5 connected to the target interface 31; or, switch from the keyboard device 53 to the third display screen 52 to perform operations such as switching operating modes and / or controlling the display mode of the first display screen 51.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, the first surface 11 of the first body 1 is the display surface of the first display screen 51, that is, the size of the display surface of the first display screen 51 is the same as the size of the first surface 11 of the first body 1, that is, the display surface covers the first surface 11.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first interface area 30 may include a first target interface 31, or a second target interface, or both; the first target interface 31 and the second target interface may be the same or different. For example, the first target interface 31 and the second target interface may be different. The first target interface 31 may be a MagicBay interface, a MIPI interface, an EDP interface, or a DP interface, etc., and the second target interface may be a USB interface.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first surface 11 of the first body 1 is the display surface, and the third display screen 52 establishes a communication connection with the electronic device through the first target interface 31. That is, both the first body 1 and the second body 2 include display surfaces. With this structure, the electronic device is a dual-screen device, and the two screens can be used together to display information, or they can be used as separate screens to display the same information, etc. The display screen of the third display screen 52 can be the same size as the display screen of the first display screen 51, or the size of the display screen of the third display screen 52 can be smaller than the size of the display screen of the first display screen 51.

[0077] In this embodiment, the keyboard device 53 establishes a second communication connection with the second target interface, enabling the electronic device to add keyboard input functionality. Based on this, the third display screen 52 may or may not be connected to the first target interface 31; for example, the third display screen may be a touchpad. When the third display screen 52 is connected to the first target interface 31, the electronic device includes both keyboard and touchpad input methods; when the third display screen 52 is not connected to the first target interface 31, the electronic device includes only keyboard input.

[0078] In another example, the second body 2 may be used to connect only to either the keyboard device 53 or the third display screen 52. When the second body 2 switches from connecting to the keyboard device 53 to connecting to the third display screen 52, the electronic device performs the operation of switching the function of the third display screen 52 and / or controlling the display mode of the first display screen 51.

[0079] Switching the operating mode refers to switching the function of the third display screen 52. For example, the third display screen can be switched to display a keyboard as needed, and keyboard input can be achieved through touch control; the third display screen can also be switched to split-screen display as needed. The display modes of the first display screen 51 can include single-screen display, dual-screen extended mode, dual-screen copy mode for screen projection, and switching wallpapers, etc.

[0080] In the electronic device of this application embodiment, the first surface 11 of the first body 1 can be entirely used as the display surface of the first display screen 51, thereby increasing the area of ​​the display surface. The second body 2 may include a first target interface 31 and a second target interface to realize connection with different target external devices 5. For example, the electronic device can be connected to a third display screen 52 and / or a keyboard device 53. At the same time, when the electronic device switches from being connected to the keyboard device 53 to being connected to the third display screen, the electronic device can perform operations to switch operating modes and / or control the display mode of the first display screen 51, so that the electronic device has more adjustable forms and richer functions, increasing the adaptability and flexibility of the electronic device.

[0081] In some possible embodiments of this application, the third surface 12 of the first body 1 is provided with a third interface area. The third surface 12 is the surface of the first body 1 that is disposed opposite to the first surface 11 in the thickness direction. When the target external device 5 is switched from the third display screen 52 to the keyboard device 53, the third display screen 52 can establish a third communication connection with the electronic device through the third target interface in the third interface area. Alternatively, after the third display screen 52 is detached from the second surface 21, it can establish a third communication connection with the electronic device through the third target interface in the third interface area. The third display screen 52 can have different positional relationships with the third surface 12 so that the electronic device has different structural forms.

[0082] In this embodiment, the third surface 12 is disposed opposite to the first surface 11 along the thickness direction of the first body 1. This can be understood as the third surface 12 facing the outside of the accommodating space in the first device form, i.e., the third display screen 52 and the first display screen 51 form a front and rear screen relative to the first body 1.

[0083] In this embodiment, a third interface area is provided on the third surface 12, and a third target interface is provided in the device within the third interface area. The third interface area can be a structure such as a groove, slider, or boss, to facilitate the alignment and connection of the target external device 5 with the third interface area. The third target interface can be a spring pin conductive connector (POGO pin), a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, an FPC connector (Flexible Printed Circuit Connector) or an FFC connector (Flexible Flat Cable Connector), a DP (Display Port), an EDP interface (Embedded Display Port), a MIPI interface (Mobile Industry Processor Interface), or a Magic Bay interface (Lenovo Magic Bay Interface), etc.

[0084] In this embodiment, the electronic device can be connected to a keyboard device 53, and it can also be connected to a third display screen 52. Alternatively, the electronic device can be connected to both the keyboard device 53 and the third display screen 52 simultaneously. The third display screen 52 can also establish a communication connection with either the second body 2 or the first body 1, and the connection between the third display screen and the first body 1 can be achieved through a third target interface or a cable. This structure allows the electronic device to have different structural states for application in different scenarios.

[0085] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 7The third display screen 52 is fixed to the third surface 12 of the first body 1 through the third target interface in the third interface area, so that the electronic device has the first structural form.

[0086] In the first configuration, the electronic device may or may not be connected to the keyboard device 53. For example, see [reference needed]. Figure 7 The keyboard device 53 can be connected to the second target interface, and the third display screen 52 can be connected to the third target interface. That is, the keyboard device 53 is disposed on the second side 21, and the third display screen 52 is disposed on the fourth side 22. In this way, the electronic device can include the function input through the keyboard device 53. At the same time, the display surface of the third display screen 52 and the display surface of the first display screen 51 are disposed opposite to each other. The third display screen 52 can serve as an extended screen and work together with the first display screen 51 to realize the display function.

[0087] In this embodiment, the electronic device may not be connected to the keyboard device 53, and the third display screen 52 may switch between the second side 21 and the third side 12 to change different ways of using the electronic device.

[0088] In this embodiment, the third display screen 52 can have different positional relationships with the third surface 12, that is, the connection relationship between the third display screen and the third surface 12 is different. For example, the third display screen 52 can be directly connected to the third target interface to achieve a fit with the third surface 12.

[0089] In another embodiment, the third surface 12 of the first body 1 is further provided with at least one set of third connectors. The third target interface and the third connectors enable the third surface 12 of the first body 1 to carry the third display screen 52, so that the electronic device has a first structural form.

[0090] In this embodiment, the third connector can be a snap-fit ​​structure, a slot structure, or a magnetic component, etc., which can realize the connection between the third display screen 52 and the first body 1, and also prevent the third display screen 52 from separating from the first body 1 when they are connected. This application does not limit the number of third connectors, and can adjust them according to needs.

[0091] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 8 The third display screen 52 is disposed on the bearing surface of the electronic device. The third display screen 52 establishes a third communication connection with the third target interface through the first cable 7. The electronic device has a second structural form.

[0092] In this embodiment, the bearing surface is a surface used to place electronic devices, such as a desktop or the ground. The third display screen 52 can establish a third communication connection with the third target interface through the first cable 7, so that the position of the third display screen 52 can be adjusted relative to the third surface 12 and the first surface 11 of the first body 1 to suit different usage scenarios.

[0093] For example, the second body 2 can be connected to the keyboard device 53, and the third display screen can be connected to the first body 1 via the first cable 7. The third display screen can be an extension screen of the first display screen.

[0094] In some possible embodiments of this application, the two oppositely arranged third edges 25 of the second body 2 are respectively provided with a set of first connectors 41. The third edge 25 is the edge that connects with the first edge 23 of the second body 2. The target external device 5 is provided with a fourth connector corresponding to the first connector 41. The cooperation of the first connector 41 and the fourth connector can restrict the separation of the target external device 5 from the second body 2. The second body 2 is also provided with a driving member 60 that is movably connected to the first connector 41. The driving member 60 can drive the first connector 41 to move or shift when a target force is applied, so as to release or reduce the interaction force formed by the cooperation between the first connector 41 and the fourth connector, so that the target external device 5 can be separated from the second body 2.

[0095] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 There are two third edges 25, and the two ends of each third edge 25 are connected to the first edge 23 and the second edge 24 respectively.

[0096] In this embodiment of the application, a group of first connectors 41 may include one or more first connectors 41, and the multiple first connectors 41 may be distributed along the third edge 25. For example, a group of first connectors 41 may include two first connectors 41, which are spaced apart at both ends of the third edge 25. In this structure, two first connectors 41 are provided on each of the two third edges 25 of the first body 1, so that the four corners of the first body 1 are respectively provided with first connectors 41.

[0097] In this embodiment, the target external device 5 is provided with a fourth connector corresponding to the first connector 41. The fourth connector can be connected to the first connector 41, thereby restricting the separation of the target external device 5 and the second body 2.

[0098] In this embodiment, the driving member 60 is movably connected to the first connecting member 41. The driving member 60 is used to reduce or release the interaction force between the first connecting member 41 and the fourth connecting member, thereby facilitating the separation of the first connecting member 41 and the fourth connecting member.

[0099] In this embodiment, the first connector 41 and the fourth connector can be engaged by a snap-fit, a snap-slot, a limiting fit, or a magnetic attraction. The driving member 60 can drive the first connector 41 to perform translational, deflective, or rotational movements when a target force is applied.

[0100] For example, the first connector 41 can be a structure with a hook, the fourth connector can be a fixing structure with a slot or hook, the driving member 60 can be a structure such as a gear or rack that can drive the hook to move, and the driving member 60 also includes an operating member 602 for user operation. The user applies a target force to the operating member 602 to make the driving member 60 move. Under the drive of the driving member 60, the hook can move relative to the slot, so that the hook and the slot cooperate to lock, or the hook disengages from the slot to unlock.

[0101] For example, when a keyboard device 53 is provided on the second body 2, the battery and antenna of the keyboard device 53 can be located on the left and right sides of the keyboard touch panel, respectively. The two first connectors 41 located on the third edge 25 can be located on one side of the keyboard touch panel, which can reduce the impact on the keyboard key circuit.

[0102] In the electronic device of this application embodiment, since a set of first connectors 41 are respectively provided on the two third edges 25 of the second body 2, that is, the connection between the second body 2 and the target external component has multiple connection points located on different sides of the second body 2, the connection between the second body 2 and the target external component is more stable. Since a driving member 60 is provided inside the second body 2 and is movably connected to the first connectors 41, the driving member 60 can drive the first connectors 41 to move under the application of a target force. By applying a target force, the driving member 60 can drive the first connectors 41 to move, thereby releasing or reducing the interaction force formed by the cooperation between the first connectors 41 and the fourth connector, making it easier to separate the second body 2 and the target external device 5.

[0103] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The second body 2 is also provided with a receiving member 61 for accommodating the first connecting member 41 and an elastic member 62 connected to one end of the receiving member 61; the receiving member 61 can be displaced or deflected along a predetermined trajectory under the action of the driving member 60, and the elastic member 62 can be elastically deformed so that when the target force is removed, the receiving member 61 can be driven to return to its original position by the elastic member 62.

[0104] In this embodiment of the application, the first connector 41 and the fourth connector can be magnetic suction members 841, and the accommodating member 61 is used to accommodate the first connector 41. The accommodating member 61 is movably connected to the second body 2, so that the accommodating member 61 can move relative to the second body 2.

[0105] In this embodiment, the receiving member 61 can be disposed along the extending direction of the third edge 25 or along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the third edge 25; this application does not limit this. The predetermined trajectory is a motion trajectory that enables the first connecting member 41 and the fourth connecting member to connect or separate.

[0106] For example, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The second body 2 is provided with a slide rail 63, and the receiving member 61 can slide along the slide rail 63. The slide rail 63 is provided along the extension direction of the third edge 25, and the driving member 60 can drive the receiving member 61 to slide along the slide rail 63.

[0107] In this embodiment, the elastic element 62 can be arranged along a preset moving trajectory direction of the receiving element 61. The elastic element 62 can undergo elastic deformation under the action of force, and the elastic element 62 can be a spring, a flexible element, a torsion spring, or other structures.

[0108] In this embodiment, since the accommodating member 61 can be displaced along a preset trajectory under the action of the driving member 60, it can drive the first connecting member 41 to be displaced along the preset trajectory. Since one end of the accommodating member 61 is connected to the elastic member 62, when the accommodating member 61 is positioned along the preset trajectory, the elastic member 62 undergoes elastic deformation. When the target force is removed, the elastic force stored in the elastic member 62 will cause the spring to recover, thereby driving the accommodating member 61 to move back to its original position. This structure can quickly restore the first connecting member 41 to its original position, facilitating the next connection between the first connecting member 41 and the fourth connecting member.

[0109] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first connector 41 includes a first magnet 411, and the fourth connector includes a second magnet 412; the driving member 60 can drive the first magnet 411 to move to a first position or a second position. In the first position, the polarities of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are attracted to each other; in the second position, the polarities of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are repelled. In this embodiment, a first magnet 411 is disposed on a second body 2, and a second magnet 412 is disposed on a target external device 5. The target external device 5 and the second body 2 can be connected by the polarity attraction between the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412. During the connection process, the target external device 5 establishes a communication connection with the target interface 31.

[0110] In this embodiment, a first magnet 411 is provided on the side of each of the two third edges 25 of the second body 2 near the second edge 24, and a first magnet 411 is provided on both ends of the first edge 23 of the second body 2 near the two third edges 25. That is, four first magnets 411 are provided inside the second body 2. On this basis, the target external device 5 is also provided with four second magnets 412, and the position of each second magnet 412 corresponds one-to-one with the position of each first magnet 411.

[0111] In this embodiment, the second connector 42 and the third connector may be the same as or different from the first connector 41. For example, the second connector 42 and the third connector may also include a first magnet 411, and the corresponding target external device 5 includes a second magnet 412. With this structure, the target external device 5 can be connected to the area provided with the first connector 41, the second connector 42 and the third connector, improving the versatility of the electronic device and the target external device 5.

[0112] In this embodiment of the application, when the second body 2 and the target external device 5 are connected, the distance between the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 can be adjusted according to the required polarity attraction force to stabilize the connection between the second body 2 and the target external device 5. For example, since both the second body 2 and the target external device 5 are provided with a shell, in order to make the connection between the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 more stable, the distance between the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 can be 1.2 mm.

[0113] In order to achieve the effect that the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are attracted by each other in the first position and repel each other in the second position, in this embodiment of the application, the magnetic poles of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 can be arranged in a preset manner, so that in the first position, the N pole of the first magnet 411 corresponds to the S pole of the second magnet 412; and in the second position, the N pole of the first magnet 411 corresponds to the N pole of the second magnet 412.

[0114] For example, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12The first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are both composed of three small magnets. The small magnets of the first magnet 411 include two S poles and one N pole, with the two S poles arranged on both sides of the N pole. The small magnets of the first magnet 411 include two N poles and one S pole, with the two N poles arranged on both sides of the S pole.

[0115] With this structure, in the first position, the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are aligned, with the two N poles of the first magnet 411 corresponding to the two S poles of the second magnet 412, and one S pole corresponding to one N pole. The polarities of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are attracted to each other, enabling the connection between the second body 2 and the target external device 5. In the second position, the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are misaligned, with the N pole of the first magnet 411 corresponding to the N pole of the second magnet 412, and the S pole corresponding to the S pole. The polarities of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 are repelled, causing the connection force between the second body 2 and the target external device 5 to disappear or decrease, making it easier to separate the target external device 5 from the second body 2, thereby facilitating the replacement of the target external device 5.

[0116] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The driving component 60 includes a toggle gear 601, a receiving component 61, and a plate structure provided along the extension direction of the third edge 25 of the second body 2. The plate structure is provided with a first serration group 611 near the edge of the third edge 25. The toggle gear 601 meshes with the first serration group 611. The toggle gear 601 can rotate when a target force is applied. The toggle gear 601 drives the magnetic attractor 841 to move along the extension direction of the third edge 25 to release or reduce the magnetic attraction between the magnetic attractor 41 and the fourth attractor.

[0117] In this embodiment, the first connector 41 may be accommodated within the accommodating member 61, or the first connector 41 may be integrally formed with the accommodating member 61; this application does not limit this. For example, the accommodating member 61 includes an accommodating groove, and the first magnet 411 of the first connector 41 is accommodated within the accommodating groove.

[0118] In this embodiment, the actuating gear 601 is disposed on the side of the second body 2 closer to the outside of the receiving space than the receiving member 61, so as to facilitate the user to operate the actuating gear 601.

[0119] In this embodiment, the drive member 60 can drive the first connector 41 to move under the application of a target force. Applying a target force to the drive member 60 can enable the user to manually operate the drive member 60 to control the separation of the first connector 41 and the fourth connector; or the target force can be applied to the drive member 60 through an electric structure such as a motor or cylinder to achieve automatic control of the separation of the first connector 41 and the fourth connector.

[0120] In this embodiment of the application, the driving member 60 includes an operating member 602 located outside the second body 2. Under the action of an external force, the operating member 602 can cause the driving member 60 to rotate or slide, thereby causing the first connecting member 41 to move or shift.

[0121] In this embodiment, the driving member 60 includes an operating member 602 located outside the second body 2. The user can drive the driving member 60 to move the accommodating member 61 by applying external force to the operating member 602. This application does not limit the form of the operating member 602; it can be a rod-like structure, a lever, a toggle wheel, etc. For example, the operating member 602 is a rod-like structure. To save force when using the operating member 602, its length can be increased, for example, referring to… Figure 11 The length of the operating element is H3, which can be 10 mm, thereby saving the output force when using the operating element 602.

[0122] For example, the operating element can be a button located outside the second body. The second body includes a drive rod connected to the button. The drive rod is connected to the receiving element. By pressing or toggling the button, the drive rod can be driven to pull or drag the receiving element to move or slide.

[0123] The electronic device in this application embodiment refers to... Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12The accommodating member 61 extends along the extension direction of the third edge 25, and the elastic member 62 is connected to the accommodating member 61 along the third direction. A receiving groove is provided in the middle area of ​​the accommodating member for accommodating the magnetic member 841. Sliding rods extending along the extension direction of the third edge 25 are provided on both sides of the receiving groove. A slide rail 63 is provided in the second body 2. The slide rail 63 is provided along the extension direction of the third edge 25. The sliding rod of the accommodating member 61 can slide along the slide rail 63. The first magnet 411 of the first connecting member 41 is accommodated in the receiving groove. The second magnet 412 of the fourth connecting member is fixedly installed in the target external device 5. The sliding rod of the accommodating member 61 facing the outside of the accommodating space has a first serration 611 extending along the third edge 25. The actuating gear 601 is arc-shaped at least on the side facing the accommodating member 61 and has a second serration that matches the first serration 611. The first serration 611 meshes with the second serration. The actuating gear 601 is provided with a movably disposed on the second body. The rotating shaft of component 2 has an operating member 602 with a rod-like structure. The operating member 602 and the actuating gear 601 are arranged around the rotating shaft. The user can rotate the actuating gear 601 around the rotating shaft by moving the operating member 602. The area on the slide rail 63 corresponding to the first sawtooth group 611 and the actuating gear 601 has clearance space, capable of accommodating the actuating gear 601 and allowing the actuating gear 601 to mesh with the first sawtooth group 611. Through the transmission of the first and second sawtooth groups, the accommodating member 61 moves along the extending direction of the third edge 25, thereby driving the first magnet 411 to a position where its magnetic poles are misaligned with those of the second magnet 412, causing the polarities of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 412 to repel each other. This structure allows the interaction force formed by the engagement between the first connecting member 41 and the fourth connecting member to be released or reduced through manual operation by the user.

[0124] In another embodiment, the electronic device further includes a control component connected to the drive member 60, the control component being configured to control the drive member 60 to drive the first connector 41 to move.

[0125] In this embodiment, the control component is electrically connected to the processor of the electronic device. The user can input the command to control the movement of the first connector 41 to the electronic device through the security check or operation screen. The control component drives the drive component 60 to move by controlling the cylinder, piston or motor, so as to drive the first connector 41 to move, thereby realizing automatic control to release or reduce the interaction force formed by the cooperation between the first connector 41 and the fourth connector, which facilitates the disassembly of the target external device 5.

[0126] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 13The fourth surface 22 of the second body 2 is provided with at least two feet 28, and the at least two feet 28 form a receiving position Q. The fourth surface 22 is the surface of the second body 2 that is disposed opposite to the second surface 21 in the thickness direction. The electronic device also includes a support member 80 that is detachably received in the receiving position Q. The support member 80 can be removed from the receiving position Q to support a target part of the first body 1, the second body 2, or the target external device 5. The target part is located at the position where the fourth connector is provided in the third surface 12 of the first body 1, the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2, or the target external device 5. In this embodiment of the application, the fourth surface 22 is the surface of the second body 2 that is disposed opposite to the second surface 21 in the thickness direction. It can be understood that when the electronic device is placed on the support surface in the form of a laptop computer, the fourth surface 22 is used to contact the support surface.

[0127] In this embodiment, at least two foot pads 28 are provided on the fourth surface 22. Three, four, or more foot pads 28 may also be provided on the fourth surface 22; this application does not limit this. The foot pads 28 are used to isolate the fourth surface 22 from the surface of the bearing surface when the fourth surface 22 is placed on the bearing surface, thereby protecting the fourth surface 22. The foot pads 28 can be elastomers such as rubber or silicone, providing anti-slip, shock absorption, and wear resistance without damaging the bearing surface.

[0128] In this embodiment, the accommodating element can be formed by any two foot pads 28. Since the foot pads 28 have thickness, the space formed by the thickness of the foot pads 28 on the fourth surface 22 can be the accommodating position Q for accommodating the support member 80.

[0129] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 14 The height of the support member 80 can be less than or equal to the height of the foot pad 28. This structure ensures that the support member 80 does not affect the fit between the foot pad 28 and the bearing surface, and also reduces wear on the support member 80. For example, when the support member 80 is housed in the receiving position Q, the height difference between the support member 80 and the side of the foot pad 28 away from the fourth surface 22 is H1, and H1 can be 0.41 mm.

[0130] In this embodiment, the support member 80 is detachably connected to the fourth surface 22, and the connection between the support member 80 and the fourth surface 22 can be achieved through snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, or locking connection, etc.

[0131] In this embodiment of the application, the support member 80 can be connected to the first body 1, the second body 2 or the target external device 5 to support the first body 1, the second body 2 or the target external device 5.

[0132] In this embodiment, the target part is used to connect with the support member 80, that is, the target part device has a structure adapted to connect with the support member 80. The target part can be the third surface 12 of the first body 1. The support member 80 supports the third surface 12 to support the first body 1 on the bearing surface, so that the first surface and the third surface of the first body 1 have an angle with respect to the bearing surface. The target part can also be the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2. The support member 80 supports the fourth surface 22 so that both the first surface and the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2 form an angle with the bearing surface. The target part can also be the position where the fourth connector is set in the target external device 5, that is, the side of the target external device 5 used to connect to the fourth surface 22.

[0133] In this embodiment, the second body 2 is provided with a foot pad 28, which isolates the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2 from the bearing surface to protect the fourth surface 22. Since a receiving position Q is formed between at least two supports, the support member 80 can be stored in the receiving position Q, facilitating its carrying and storage. Because the support member 80 is detachably housed in the receiving position Q, it can be stored in the receiving position Q when not in use, and removed from the receiving position Q when needed to support a target area. Since the target area is located on the third surface 12 of the first body 1, the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2, or at the location where the fourth connector is located in the target external device 5, changing the support position of the support member 80 can change the supported form of the electronic device, giving the electronic device more usage options.

[0134] In some possible embodiments of this application, the support member 80 has a first structural form within the receiving position Q and a second structural form when used to support the target part, and the first structural form and the second structural form are different.

[0135] In this embodiment, when the support member 80 is housed in the receiving position Q, the support member 80 has a first structural form. In the first structural form, the support member 80 is parallel to the second body 2. When the support member 80 is used to support the target part, the support member 80 can deform so that at least part of the extension direction of the support member 80 has an angle with the extension direction of the target part, so as to achieve support for the target part.

[0136] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 15 The support member 80 includes a first snap-fit ​​structure 81 and a support rod 84 rotatably connected to the first snap-fit ​​structure 81.

[0137] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 is used to connect with the target part, and the support rod 84 can rotate relative to the first snap-fit ​​structure 81, so that there is an angle between the support rod 84 and the first snap-fit ​​structure 81. With this structure, when the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 is connected to the target part, the support rod 84 can have an angle with the target part, thereby enabling the support rod 84 to support the target part.

[0138] In some possible embodiments of this application, the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure 26, and the support member 80 is accommodated in the receiving position Q through the snap-fit ​​engagement between the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 26.

[0139] In this embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​structure 26 is used to fix the support member 80 when it is housed. The second snap-fit ​​structure 26 is disposed at the receiving position Q and matches the first snap-fit ​​structure 81. For example, the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 includes a magnet, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 26 includes a magnet capable of generating a polarity attraction force with the first snap-fit ​​structure 81. Thus, when the support member 80 is housed at the receiving position Q, the support member 80 can be connected to the fourth surface 22 by the attraction force of the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 26.

[0140] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 16 and Figure 17 The first snap-fit ​​structure 81 includes a non-circular through hole 82 and a first snap-fit ​​portion 83 adjacent to the through hole 82. The second snap-fit ​​structure 26 includes a protruding post protruding from the fourth surface 22 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 261 connected to the protruding post. The shape of the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 matches the shape of the through hole 82. The projected area of ​​the protruding post on the fourth surface 22 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 on the fourth surface 22. The first snap-fit ​​structure 81 makes the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 snap into the first snap-fit ​​portion 83 by rotating the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 around the protruding post after passing through the through hole 82. Figure 17 The structure shown is that the second snap-fit ​​part 261 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​part 83 and they snap into each other.

[0141] In this embodiment, the first latching portion 83 is disposed on the side opposite to the fourth surface 22. The via 82 is non-circular in shape, i.e., the via 82 can be elliptical, triangular, rectangular, irregular in shape, etc. Since the shape of the second latching portion 261 matches the shape of the via 82, i.e., the projection shape of the second latching portion 261 on the fourth surface 22 is the same as the shape of the via 82. The first latching portion 83 can be the edge of the via 82 formed on the first latching structure 81. The thickness of the first latching portion 83 can be the same as the length of the protrusion, reducing the gap between the second latching portion 261 and the first latching portion 83, so that the second latching portion 261 and the first latching portion 83 can be stably engaged.

[0142] In this embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 can be connected to the protrusion, or the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 can be integrally formed with the protrusion. When the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 can be connected to the protrusion, the protrusion can be rotatably connected to the second body 2, thereby causing the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 to rotate; alternatively, the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 can be rotatably connected to the protrusion, with the protrusion fixedly connected to the second body 2. Thus, the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 can rotate relative to the protrusion to snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​portion 83. Alternatively, when the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 can be integrally formed with the protrusion, the protrusion can be rotatably connected to the second body 2, thereby causing the second snap-fit ​​portion 261 to rotate, thereby snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​portion 83.

[0143] In this embodiment, since the shape of the second latching portion 261 matches that of the through hole 82, and the projected area of ​​the protrusion on the fourth surface 22 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the second latching portion 261 on the fourth surface 22, both the second latching portion 261 and the protrusion can pass through the through hole 82. Since the second latching portion 261 can rotate around the protrusion, the shape of the second latching portion 261 and the through hole 82 can be misaligned by rotation. Since the structure of the through hole 82 and the second latching portion 261 is non-circular, the misaligned second latching portion 261 cannot directly pass through the through hole. Therefore, the second latching portion 261 can latch with the first latching portion 83 located adjacent to the through hole 82, thereby locking the support member 80 and increasing the stability of the support member 80 during the process of being housed in the receiving position Q.

[0144] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 18 The support member 80 is also provided with at least one set of magnetic suction members 841, which are provided in the first snap-fit ​​portion 83 and / or on the side of the support rod 84 facing the fourth surface 22.

[0145] In this embodiment, the support member 80 may be provided with a set of magnetic suction members 841. These magnetic suction members 841 may be disposed on the first snap-fit ​​portion 83 for connection with the fourth surface 22 and for relative fixation of their position relative to the fourth surface 22. The set of magnetic suction members 841 may also be disposed on the side of the support rod 84 facing the fourth surface 22. When the support member 80 is retracted into the receiving position Q, the support rod 84 can be connected to the fourth surface 22 to fix the support rod 84.

[0146] In this embodiment, the support member 80 may be provided with multiple sets of magnetic suction members 841. The multiple sets of magnetic suction members 841 may be respectively provided on the first snap-fit ​​part 83 and the support rod 84 facing the fourth surface 22, so as to increase the stability of the connection between the support member 80 and the fourth surface 22.

[0147] For example, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 18The support member 80 is provided with three sets of magnetic suction members 841. One set of magnetic suction members 841 is located at the first engaging portion 83, one set is located at the end of the support rod 84 away from the first engaging portion 83, and the other set is located in the middle of the support rod 84. To reduce the size of the support member 80, grooves are provided on the support member 80 corresponding to the areas where the magnetic suction members 841 are located, and each magnetic suction member 841 is respectively located in the groove. A cover plate 85 is also provided at the opening of the groove. When the magnetic suction members 841 are located in the groove, the opening of the groove can be closed by the cover plate 85, reducing the risk of the magnetic suction members 841 falling out and improving the overall integrity of the support member 80.

[0148] The first snap-fit ​​structure 81 of the support member 80 is connected to the target part, and the end of the support rod 84 away from the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 is used to contact the bearing surface to achieve support. In this embodiment, refer to Figure 15 The end of the support rod 84 away from the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 is also provided with a support pad 86. The support pad 86 can be made of elastomers such as plastic or silicone. When the support rod 84 is supported on the bearing surface, it provides anti-slip and shock absorption effects and can also reduce the risk of the bearing surface being scratched.

[0149] In some possible embodiments of this application, when the electronic device is in the form of a laptop, the support member 80 is removed and configured as a second structural form to support a first portion on the third surface 12 of the first body 1.

[0150] In this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device is in the form of a laptop, the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2 is disposed on the bearing surface, the third surface 12 of the first body 1 is the surface opposite to the display surface, the support member 80 is connected to the first part on the third surface 12, the first part is located on the third surface 12 away from the pivot of the first body 1 and the second body 2, and is located in the central area of ​​that side.

[0151] With this structure, the support member 80 is in the second structural form and is used to connect the first part on the third surface 12. When the electronic device is in the form of a laptop, it can support the first body 1 through the third surface 12 to increase the stability of the electronic device when placed on the support surface in the form of a laptop.

[0152] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 19 When the electronic device is in book form, the support member 80 is configured to switch from the first structural form to the second structural form to support the second part on the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2. The second part is the snap-fit ​​position of the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 of the support member 80.

[0153] In this embodiment, the electronic device being in a book-like form means that the first body 1 of the electronic device is provided with a first display screen 51, and the second body 2 is connected to a third display screen 52 through a target interface 31. The axis of relative rotation of the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be perpendicular to the bearing surface, so that the electronic device is placed on the bearing surface in a book-like form. The first display screen 51 and the second display screen are used together to display information.

[0154] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 19 and Figure 20 When the electronic device is in book form, the support member 80 can be disposed at the second part of the third surface 12, and the second part is located on the second body 2 in a region close to the first body 1. For example, when the support rod 84 is supported on the bearing surface, refer to... Figure 20 The first snap-fit ​​structure 81 can have a distance of H2 between itself and the foot pad 28 on the side away from the bearing surface, where H2 can be 55 mm. The support rod 84 has an angle with the second body 2, so it will not interfere with the foot pad 28 on the side closer to the bearing surface. This structure allows the support area of ​​the support member 80 to be close to the centerline area where the first body 1 and the second body 2 connect, thus improving the stability of the support.

[0155] In another embodiment, refer to Figures 21 to 24 When the target external device 5 is a third display screen 52 connected to an electronic device, the support member 80 is removed and configured into a second structural form that supports the third display screen 52.

[0156] In this embodiment, the third display screen 52 can be connected to an electronic device via a cable, so the third display screen 52 is equivalent to an extended screen whose position and angle can be adjusted arbitrarily relative to the electronic device.

[0157] In this embodiment, the third display screen 52 includes a display surface and a connecting surface opposite to the display surface. The connecting surface can be used to connect to the fourth surface 22 of the second body 2, and can also be used to connect to the third surface 12 of the first body 1. The first snap-fit ​​structure 81 of the support member 80 is connected to the connector, and the third display screen 52 may include two areas that can be connected to the first snap-fit ​​structure 81.

[0158] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 21 and Figure 22 One long side of the third display screen 52 contacts the supporting surface, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 can connect to the centerline area of ​​the other long side, so that the third display screen 52 and the supporting surface form an angle. For example, the angle between the connecting surface of the third display screen 52 and the support member 80 can be 51.5 degrees, and the angle between the display surface of the third display screen 52 and the supporting surface can be 110.16 degrees.

[0159] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 One wide edge of the third display screen 52 contacts the supporting surface. The first snap-fit ​​structure 81 can be connected to the central area of ​​the third display screen 52, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 can be located close to the other wide edge. For example, the distance between the first snap-fit ​​structure 81 and the other wide edge can be 108.4 mm, so that the third display screen 52 forms an angle with the supporting surface. For example, the angle between the connecting surface of the third display screen 52 and the support member 80 can be 51.5 degrees, and the angle between the display surface of the third display screen 52 and the supporting surface can be 114.83 degrees.
