The VR converter 100 is provided with the first signal output connector 31 and the second signal output connector 32 to simultaneously connect two display terminals and play the same audio and video. For example, in a private cinema, a couple watches the same movie, etc.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, in one embodiment, the signal input part includes a first signal input connector 41 and a second signal input connector 42. Both the first signal input connector 41 and the second signal input connector 42 are connected to the main board 14. The middle frame 12 is provided with a first input through hole and a second input through hole corresponding to the positions of the first signal input connector 41 and the second signal input connector 42. The first signal input connector 41 is inserted into the first input through hole, and the second signal input connector 42 passes through the second input through hole and extends out of the second input through hole.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first signal input connector 41 is an HDMI connector, and the second signal input connector 42 is a Type-C connector with a data line.

One side of the bottom case 11 of the VR converter 100 is adsorbed to an external device, and the pressing component is arranged on the face cover 13 for easy operation by the user.

[0039] As Figures 2-4 shown, in one embodiment, the pressing component includes a pressing member 15 and an elastic member 16. Both the pressing member 15 and the elastic member 16 are arranged on the side of the face cover 13 facing away from the middle frame 12. The face cover 13 is provided with an opening 131 at a position corresponding to the switch 141. At least a part of the pressing member 15 penetrates through the opening 131. The face cover 13 is provided with an annular groove 132 on the outer peripheral side of the opening 131. The elastic member 16 has a first end and a second end arranged oppositely. The first end of the elastic member 16 is connected to the pressing member 15, and the second end of the elastic member 16 is inserted into the annular groove 132. The face cover 13 is provided with a clamping through hole 133 on the outer peripheral side of the annular groove 132.

One end of the convex column 151 facing the main board 14 is provided with a buckle 152, and the buckle 152 is buckled with one end of the clamping through hole 133 facing the main board 14.

[0040] In this embodiment, the elastic member 16 is a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the end of the pressing member 15 facing the main board 14 to prevent the spring from bending and coming out when compressed. The working process of the pressing assembly is as follows: the pressing assembly has a normal state without force and a pressing state with force. The pressing assembly changes from the normal state to the pressing state when the force is applied. After the force disappears, the pressing assembly returns to the normal state from the pressing state. In the normal state, the end of the pressing member 15 facing the main board 14 is away from the switch 141 on the main board 14, and the spring applies elastic force to the pressing member 15, so that the pressing member 15 has a tendency to move away from the main board 14. The buckle 152 of the pressing member 15 is buckled with the end of the card-connecting through hole 133 facing the main board 14 to prevent the pressing member 15 from coming out of the cover 13; in the pressing state, the pressing member 15 is moved toward the main board 14 by the pressing force and squeezes the spring, and the end of the pressing member 15 facing the main board 14 is close to the switch 141 on the main board 14.
