[0036] Specifically, the design of the battery cover 80 allows the user to easily remove or replace the battery unit 70, which improves the maintainability and sustainability of the external memory, because the battery life is limited and needs to be replaced regularly. Preferably, the battery unit 70 is a button battery.

[0037] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped groove 61 is provided at a side of the middle portion of the base 60 facing the housing 10 , and the magnet ring 40 is assembled in the arc-shaped groove 61 .

[0038] Specifically, an elliptical connection terminal seat 21 is provided on one side of the short side direction of the circuit board 20 . The connection terminal seat 21 is embedded in a mounting hole 12 provided on one side of the housing 10 . The connection terminal seat 21 is used for plugging a data cable. Among them, the external memory is used to be installed on the back of the electronic device terminal, the electronic device terminal is a mobile phone or an electronic tablet, and one side of the base 60 is magnetically connected to the back of the electronic device terminal. After assembly, an integrated stacked structure is formed, and the magnet ring 40 is arranged in the arc groove 61 of the base 60, so that the external memory is fastened as a whole to the back of the shell of the electronic device terminal.

[0040] In one embodiment, two arc-shaped grooves 61 are disposed opposite to each other in the middle of the base 60 , and two groups of the magnet rings 40 are disposed in the two arc-shaped grooves 61 , respectively.

[0041] Specifically, two arc-shaped grooves 61 are arranged opposite to each other in the middle of the base 60, and two groups of magnet rings 40 are arranged in the two arc-shaped grooves 61 respectively, so that the magnetic attraction force is evenly distributed, so that the external memory can be fastened to the back of the electronic device terminal.

[0042] In one embodiment, two magnet rings 40 are installed in the arc-shaped groove 61, and each group of magnet rings 40 is composed of a plurality of magnet blocks combined with each other to form an arc-shaped ring structure. This arrangement improves the magnetic attraction between the magnet ring 40 and the electronic device terminal.

[0044] Specifically, the side walls of the housing 10 are inclined to facilitate handheld holding. During the connection between the base 60 and the back of the electronic device terminal, the friction between the palm and the housing 10 is reduced. Since a magnetic ring 40 is installed in an arc-shaped groove 61 provided on one side of the base 60, the magnetic ring 40 is used to increase the magnetic attraction between the external storage device and the electronic device terminal. This arrangement improves the reliability of the magnetic connection between the base 60 and the electronic device terminal.

In addition, the provision of the shielding member 90 can prevent external environmental factors such as dust and water vapor from entering the accommodating cavity. This protective measure helps to keep the internal circuits and other key components of the storage device clean and functional, and prolong the service life of the device.

[0047] In one embodiment, the edge of the mounting hole 12 provided in the housing 10 is recessed inward to form a connector cavity.

That is, by adding a connecting part cavity, the frequency of unstable connection during data transmission of the circuit board 20 can be reduced.

[0049] In one embodiment, the four corners of the housing 10 are all arc-shaped structures.

[0050] Specifically, the four top corners of the shell 10 are all arc-shaped structures, which makes it easier to install the external memory on the electronic device terminal, improves the stability of the overall installation, and increases the friction between the palm and the shell 10, so that after the user installs the external memory, one side of the base 60 abuts against the back of the electronic device terminal, thereby improving the connection reliability between the shell 10 and the electronic device terminal.

[0051] See also Figure 4 In the specific embodiment shown, the utility model also discloses a combined electronic device, including an electronic device terminal 100 and an external memory with a positioning function as described above; the base 60 of the external memory with a positioning function is arranged away from a side of the circuit board 20 and is magnetically connected to the back of the electronic device terminal 100.
