The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms, not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but including all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.

When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative position relationship may also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, the "first", "second" and similar terms used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different parts. "Vertical" is not strictly vertical, but within the allowable error range. "Parallel" is not strictly parallel, but within the allowable error range.

When it is described that a specific device is located between a first device and a second device, there may or may not be an intermediate device between the specific device and the first device or the second device.

[0033] All terms used in the present disclosure have the same meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in a general dictionary, such as those, should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless specifically defined as such here.

[0034] Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0035] When the electronic device is in a closed state, the key of the input device presses against the display surface of the display device. Although the thickness of the electronic device in the closed state can be reduced, the inventors of the present application have found that when the electronic device is switched from the closed state to the open state, the display surface is likely to leave a key mark, thus affecting the user experience.

[0036] The present disclosure provides an electronic device. Refer to Figures 1 to 10As shown, the electronic device may include: a first body 10, a second body 20, and a target component 30. The first body 10 may be provided with a display device 11. The second body 20 may be movably connected to the first body 10. The second body 20 may be provided with an input device 21. The input device 21 may have an input surface 211. The electronic device may have a switchable closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the display device 11 may be located in the first direction of the second body 20, and the display device 11 may be in contact with the target surface 22 of the second body 20. The input surface 211 may be the surface of the input device 21 that is closest to the display device 11 in the first direction. The target component 30 may be provided on the second body 20 and may be connected to the input device 21. The target component 30 may be configured to switch the input device 21 between a first position and a second position. In the closed state, the input device 21 can be located at the first position so that the input surface 211 of the input device 21 is not higher than the target surface 22 of the second body 20 in the first direction. In the open state, the input device 21 can be located at the second position so that the input surface 211 of the input device 21 is higher than the target surface 22 of the second body 20 in the first direction.

[0037] That is to say, in the closed state of the electronic device, the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be zero or substantially zero. At this time, the display device 11 on the first body 10 can be in contact with the target surface 22 of the second body 20, and the input surface 211 of the input device 21 on the second body 20 can be flush with or recessed from the target surface 22 of the second body 20. When the input surface 211 of the input device 21 is flush with the target surface 22 of the second body 20, the input surface 211 of the input device 21 and the display device 11 can be in contact with each other. When the input surface 211 of the input device 21 is recessed from the target surface 22 of the second body 20, the input surface 211 of the input device 21 and the display device 11 can be spaced apart from each other. It can be seen that the squeezing force of the input surface 211 of the input device 21 on the display device 11 is small in both the flush and recessed settings, so as to reduce the probability of the imprint of the input device 21 remaining on the display device 11 in the open state, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, when the first body 10 and the second body 20 are opened, the input device 21 can be lifted by the drive of the target component 30, and the input surface 211 after rising can protrude from the target surface 22 of the second body 20, so as not to affect the user's requirement for the high position of the input device 21.

[0038] The first body 10 has a display device 11, which can be used at least for displaying contents such as texts and images. The display device 11 can be a display device 11 with one or more display functions. When there are multiple display devices 11 with multiple display functions, the multiple display devices 11 can be arranged flush, in a stepped manner, or relatively slidable to be switched between flush and stacked settings, or in other setting manners; the display device 11 can also be a display device 11 with both display and touch functions. The touch operation of the touch function can control the display content of the display function. In the case of having both display and touch functions, the display surface of the display function and the touch surface of the touch function can be flush or stacked with each other.

[0039] The second body 20 has an input device 21, which can be used at least for implementing an input operation, and the input operation can be used to control the content displayed by the display device 11. The input device 21 can be such as Figure 1The key bracket shown in the figure and the multiple keys provided on the key bracket can also be a touch panel, or other input information setting methods; when the input device 21 includes a key bracket and multiple keys provided on the key bracket, and the pressing surfaces of the multiple keys are flush, the pressing surfaces of the multiple keys can cooperate to form an input surface 211; when the input device 21 includes a key bracket and multiple keys provided on the key bracket, and the pressing surfaces of the multiple keys are uneven, the pressing surface at the highest position forms the input surface 211. The second body 20 and the first body 10 can be connected through a rotating structure such as a rotating shaft 42, a hinge member, etc. to achieve a rotational movable connection therebetween, or can be provided with a magnetic attraction structure, a clamping structure, etc. on the two bodies respectively to achieve a movable connection in which the two can be adsorbed, clamped or disconnected from each other, or can also be achieved by other setting methods for the movable connection between the first body 10 and the second body 20. The movable connection between the second body 20 and the first body 10 can move the first body 10 and the second body 20 to a closed state where the angle between the two is zero or substantially zero, or can move the first body 10 and the second body 20 to an open state where the angle between the two is greater than zero; in the case of the closed state, the first body 10 (including the display device 11 thereon) can be stacked on one side of the second body 20 along the first direction (e.g., stacked on the upper surface in the thickness direction of the second body 20), at this time the display device 11 can be in contact with the target surface 22 of the second body 20, and the input device 21 is located at the first position, the input surface 211 can be flush with the target surface 22 to fit with the display device 11 or recessed in the target surface 22 to have a gap with the display device 11. Thus, compared with the case where the input surface 211 presses the display device 11, fitting or having a gap reduces the probability of the input surface 211 leaving an imprint on the display device 11 of the first body 10. The target surface 22 of the second body 20 can be, for example Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it is the upper outer surface of the housing of the second body 20, or can also be the upper outer surface of a structural member on the second body 20.

[0040] A target component 30, which can be respectively connected to the second body 20 and the input device 21, and can drive the input device 21 to move up or down relative to the second body 20. In the case of rising, the input device 21 can switch from the first position to the second position, and after switching, the input device 21 is higher than the target surface 211 of the second body 20; in the case of descending, the input device 21 can switch from the second position to the first position, and after switching, it is not higher than the target surface 211 of the second body 20. When the electronic device is in the closed state (for example: the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is zero or substantially zero), the target component 30 can make the input device 21 in the first position, at this time the input surface 211 is flush with or recessed from the target surface 22, so as to reduce the extrusion force of the input surface 211 of the input device 21 on the display device 11, thereby reducing the probability of the imprint of the input device 21 remaining on the display device 11 in the open state, so as to improve the user experience; when the electronic device is in the open state (for example: the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is 120 degrees), the target component 30 can make the input device 21 in the second position, at this time the input surface 211 protrudes from the target surface 22, so as to meet the user's requirement for using the input surface 211 at a high position.

[0041] In one example, as shown in Figure 1 the electronic device can be a laptop computer. The first body 10 can be the display part of the laptop computer, and the display part can have a display device 11. The second body 20 can be the system part of the laptop computer, and the system part can have an input device 21. The pressing surfaces of multiple keys on the input device 21 cooperate to form an input surface 211. The rotational connection between the first body 10 and the second body 20 can adjust the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20, and enable the electronic device to switch between the closed state and the open state. In the closed state, the display part can be located above the system part, and the display part contacts the target surface 22 of the system part, and the input surface 211 surrounded by the target surface 22 is flush with or recessed from the target surface 22, so that the input surface 211 and the display device 11 are in contact with each other or have a gap; in the open state, the display part and the system part can form an obtuse angle, and the input device 21 can rise under the drive of the target component 30, so that the input surface 211 protrudes from (or is higher than) the target surface 22. Here, when the laptop computer is in the closed state, the input surface 211 and the display part are in contact with each other or have a gap, so as to reduce the probability of the input surface 211 leaving key imprints on the display part.

[0042] In one example, the electronic device can be a folding mobile phone. The first body 10 can be the display part of the folding mobile phone. The display part can have a display device 11. The second body 20 can be the system part of the folding mobile phone. The system part can have an input device 21. The pressing surfaces of the multiple keys on the input device 21 cooperate to form an input surface 211. The rotational connection between the first body 10 and the second body 20 can adjust the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 and enable the electronic device to switch between a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the display part can be located above the system part, and the display part contacts the target surface 22 of the system part, while the input surface 211 enclosed by the target surface 22 is flush with or recessed from the target surface 22, so that the input surface 211 and the display device 11 are in contact with each other or have a gap; in the open state, the display part can form an obtuse angle with the system part, and the input device 21 can rise under the drive of the target component 30, so that the input surface 211 protrudes (or is higher than) the target surface 22. Here, when the folding mobile phone is in the closed state, the input surface 211 and the display part are in contact with each other or have a gap, so as to reduce the probability of the input surface 211 leaving key imprints on the display part.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the electronic device switches from the closed state to the open state, the input device 21 can switch from the first position to the second position; when the electronic device switches from the open state to the closed state, the input device 21 can switch from the second position to the first position. That is to say, the target component 30 can control the switching of the input device 21 between the first position and the second position along with the change of the state of the electronic device (such as the change of the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20). It can be that the first body 10 and the second body 20 are connected by a rotating shaft 42, and the target component 30 can be connected to the rotating shaft 42, so that during the rotation of the rotating shaft 42, the target component 30 is linked to drive the input device 21 to switch between the first position and the second position; it can also be that the first body 10 and the second body 20 are connected with a detection component, and the target component 30 can be connected to the detection component, so that when the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 changes, the detection component can detect this change, and the target component 30 can drive the input device 21 to switch between the first position and the second position according to this change detected by the detection component; it can also be other setting forms.

[0044] In this embodiment, the input device 21 can rise as the electronic device is opened and fall as the electronic device is closed, which not only makes the switching of the input device 21 between the first position and the second position more convenient, but also can improve the user experience.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the electronic device switches from the closed state to the first target angle, the target component 30 can be activated to cause the input device 21 to switch from the first position to the second position; after the electronic device switches from the target open state to the second target angle, the target component 30 can be activated to cause the input device 21 to switch from the second position to the first position; wherein, the first target angle is smaller than the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 in the target open state, and the second target angle is larger than the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 in the closed state. In other words, during the process of the electronic device opening from the closed state to the first target angle, the target component 30 may not operate, and the input surface 211 of the input device 21 remains flush with or recessed from the target surface 22. After the electronic device is opened to the first target angle, the target component 30 can be activated to cause the input device 21 to switch from the first position to the second position; it is also possible that during the process of the electronic device closing from the target open state to the second target angle, the target component 30 may not operate, and the input surface 211 of the input device 21 remains protruding from the target surface 22. After the electronic device is closed to the second target angle, the target component 30 can be activated to cause the input device 21 to switch from the second position to the first position.

[0046] In the target open state, the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be an obtuse angle. At this time, the second body 20 can be placed on a flat surface such as a desktop, and the user can view the display content of the display device 11 more comfortably; during the process of the electronic device opening from the closed state to the target open state, and when the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is smaller than the angle in the target open state (e.g., the first target angle), at this time, it has not been opened to the target open state yet, and the user does not need to use the input device 21 yet. Therefore, the target component 30 can not operate; during the process of the electronic device closing from the target open state to the closed state, the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is larger than the angle in the closed state (e.g., the second target angle). At this time, it may be that the user is adjusting the angle of the electronic device to view the display content of the display device 11 more comfortably. It can be seen that this adjustment process is a process in which the user will continue to use the electronic device. Therefore, the target component 30 can not operate so that the user can continue to use the input device 21 after the adjustment. Subsequently, during the process of closing from the second target angle to the closed state, it can be confirmed that the user closes the electronic device so that the target component 30 can operate and the input device 21 returns to its original position; in this way, the lifting of the input device 21 can better meet the user's usage requirements. Here, the first target angle can be less than 90 degrees, and the second target angle can be less than 90 degrees.

[0047] Here, the input device 21 can be connected to a driving device such as a driving motor. After the electronic device switches from the closed state to the first target angle, the driving device such as the driving motor can be activated to switch the input device 21 from the first position to the second position; and after the electronic device switches from the target open state to the second target angle, the driving device such as the driving motor can be activated to switch the input device 21 from the second position to the first position.

[0048] In some embodiments, the input device 21 is designed with a large stroke, so that during the process of the user pressing the input device 21 for information input, the distance that the finger moves is large, so as to meet the user's requirements for typing feel and feedback.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the input device 21 is in the second position, there may be a gap between the surfaces of the input device 21 and the second body 20 facing each other. That is to say, during the process of the input device 21 switching from the first position to the second position, the input device 21 can rise and a gap / space is generated between the input device 21 and the second body 20. Thus, this gap can form a heat dissipation channel, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device.

[0050] Embodiment 1:

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the target component 30 may include: a first sliding portion 31 and a second sliding portion 32; the first sliding portion 31 may be connected to the side of the input device 21 facing away from the input surface 211, and a first inclined surface 311 may be provided on the side of the first sliding portion 31 facing away from the input device 21; the second sliding portion 32 may be disposed in the second body 20 and may be opposite to the first sliding portion 31, and the second sliding portion 32 may be provided with a second inclined surface 321 capable of abutting against the first inclined surface 311 and sliding relative to the first inclined surface 311.

[0052] That is to say, on the opposite sides of the input device 21 and the second body 20 facing each other, a first sliding part 31 and a second sliding part 32 can be respectively arranged, and the first inclined surface 311 of the first sliding part 31 and the second inclined surface 321 of the second sliding part 32 can be in contact with each other and slide relative to each other. The first inclined surface 311 can be inclined with respect to the thickness direction of the input device 21. When the first inclined surface 311 of the first sliding part 31 and the second inclined surface 321 of the second sliding part 32 slide relative to each other, the input device 21 can rise or fall relative to the second body 20. The first sliding part 31 can be strip-shaped, block-shaped, or of other shapes; the second sliding part 32 can be strip-shaped, block-shaped, or of other shapes. The frictional force between the first inclined surface 311 of the first sliding part 31 and the second inclined surface 321 of the second sliding part 32 can be set according to circumstances. For example, when the relative sliding of the first sliding part 31 and the second sliding part 32 is manually operated, the frictional force between the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 321 can be relatively small, so that the force applied by the user when sliding the first sliding part 31 and the second sliding part 32 relative to each other is small; when it is necessary to maintain the first sliding part 31 and the second sliding part 32 at the position after sliding through the frictional force between the first sliding part 31 and the second sliding part 32 after the relative sliding of the first sliding part 31 and the second sliding part 32, the frictional force between the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 321 can be relatively large.

[0053] In one example, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, two sets of target components 30 can be arranged between the input device 21 and the second body 20, so that the input device 21 can be stably supported on the second body 20 through the two sets of target components 30, and the sliding direction between the first sliding part 31 and the second sliding part 32 of each set of target components 30 can be perpendicular to the rotation direction between the first body 10 and the second body 20, so that the two sets of target components 30 can cooperate to drive the input device 21 to be located at Figure 2 the first position in Figure 3 or the second position in

[0054] In this embodiment, the input device 21 and the second body 20 can be respectively provided with a first sliding part 31 and a second sliding part 32, and the first inclined surface 311 of the first sliding part 31 and the second inclined surface 321 of the second sliding part 32 are in contact with each other and can slide relative to each other. When the first inclined surface 311 of the first sliding part 31 and the second inclined surface 321 of the second sliding part 32 slide relative to each other, the input device 21 can rise or fall relative to the second body 20, and because the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 321 are in contact and slide relative to each other, the lifting of the input device 21 can be made more stable.

[0055] In some embodiments, the target component 30 may include: a first sliding portion 31 and a second sliding portion 32; the first sliding portion 31 may be connected to a side of the input device 21 facing away from the input surface 211, and a first inclined surface 311 may be provided on a side of the first sliding portion 31 facing away from the input device 21; the second sliding portion 32 may be provided in the second body 20 and may be opposite to the first sliding portion 31, and a second inclined surface 321 capable of abutting against the first inclined surface 311 and sliding relative to the first inclined surface 311 may be provided on the second sliding portion 32. When the electronic device is in the open state, for example, when the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is 120 degrees, the user may apply a first acting force to the surface of the input device 21 facing away from the second body 20 to move the input device 21, so as to realize the sliding of the first inclined surface 311 relative to the second inclined surface 321 to drive the input device 21 to rise; before the closed state, the user may apply a second acting force (opposite to the direction of the first acting force) to the surface of the input device 21 facing away from the second body 20 to move the input device 21, so as to realize the reverse sliding of the first inclined surface 311 relative to the second inclined surface 321 to drive the input device 21 to descend. In this embodiment, the relative movement between the first sliding portion 31 and the second sliding portion 32 can be realized through manual operation, and further the rising and falling of the input device 21 can be realized. Moreover, the manual operation can simplify the driving design of the electronic device and increase the fun of the user during use.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 the first body 10 and the second body 20 may be rotatably connected through a rotating shaft 42; the target component 30 may further include: a first cam 33, a first connecting rod 34 and a first reset member 35; the first cam 33 may be connected to the rotating shaft 42 and can rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 42; one end of the first connecting rod 34 may abut against the first cam 33 and can move in a direction approaching or away from the rotating shaft 42 as the first cam 33 rotates, and the other end of the first connecting rod 34 may be connected to the second sliding portion 32; the first reset member 35 may be connected to the first connecting rod 34 and can generate a reset force in the direction approaching the rotating shaft 42 when the first connecting rod 34 moves in a direction away from the rotating shaft 42.

[0057] Alternatively, it can be said that during the process of the electronic device switching from the closed state to the open state, the rotating shaft 42 can rotate, the first cam 33 can rotate along with the rotation of the rotating shaft 42, and can drive the first connecting rod 34 in contact with the first cam 33 to move away from the rotating shaft 42. Furthermore, it can cause the second sliding portion 32 connected to the first connecting rod 34 to move away from the rotating shaft 42, so that there is a relative sliding force between the second sliding portion 32 and the first sliding portion 31, to achieve the rising of the input device 21, and the input surface 211 can protrude relative to the target surface 22. And since the first connecting rod 34 pushes the second sliding portion 32 to move away from the rotating shaft 42, the first reset member 35 can generate a reset force in the direction close to the rotating shaft 42. When the electronic device rotates from the open state to the closed state, the rotating shaft 42 rotates in the reverse direction, the first cam 33 also rotates and removes the driving force on the first connecting rod 34. At this time, the reset force generated by the first reset member 35 in the direction close to the rotating shaft 42 can drive the reset of the first reset member 35 itself, the first connecting rod 34 and the second sliding portion 32, to prepare for the next rising of the input device 21.

[0058] The first cam 33 can be integrally formed on the rotating shaft 42 or fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42. The first reset member 35 can be an elastic member such as a spring / rubber tube / silicone tube, etc. The elastic member can be sleeved on the first connecting rod 34 as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 and the first structural member 23 respectively connected to the first connecting rod 34 and the second body 20. The first structural member 23 can be a support structure within the second body 20, so as to reuse the first structural member 23 and reduce the number of structures within the second body 20.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 42, and the first cam 33 and the first connecting rod 34 in contact with each other in the target assembly 30 can be respectively connected to the rotating shaft 42 and the second sliding portion 32, so as to convert the rotational force of the rotating shaft 42 into the sliding force of the second sliding portion 32 relative to the first sliding portion 31, thereby realizing the rising of the input device 21; moreover, the first reset member 35 of the target assembly 30 can provide a reset force to the first reset member 35 itself, the first connecting rod 34 and the second sliding portion 32 to prepare for the next rising of the input device 21. In this way, the linkage between the change of the electronic device state and the change of the position of the input device 21 can be realized, so as to enhance the user experience.

[0060] Here, the restoring force generated by the first restoring member 35 can drive the first restoring member 35 itself, the first link 34, and the second sliding portion 32 to return to their original positions, so as to realize the return of the input device 21. On this basis, in order to make the return of the input device 21 faster and smoother, a second restoring member 25 can also be provided between the input device 21 and the second body 20. When the input device 21 rises, the compression amount of the second restoring member 25 increases to generate a restoring force. Then, when the input device 21 descends, this restoring force drives the input device 21 to quickly return to its original position.

[0061] The second restoring member 25 can be an elastic structure such as a spring, a rubber column, or a silica gel column. For example: Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second restoring member 25 includes an elastic support column 251 and an elastic support portion 252 that spirally extends along the axial direction of the elastic support column 251. The elastic support column 251 can generate a compression amount and give sufficient support force to the input device 21 when the input device 21 rises (as shown in Figure 5 ), and can give a restoring force to the input device 21 when the input device 21 is about to descend to return to its original position; the elastic support portion 252 can squeeze each other along the axial direction of the elastic support column 251 when the input device 21 rises to give sufficient support force to the input device 21, and can give a restoring force to the input device 21 when the input device 21 is about to descend to return to its original position.

[0062] Embodiment 2:

[0063] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the target component 30 can include: a first magnetic member 36, a second magnetic member 37, and a controller (not shown in the figure); the first magnetic member 36 can be disposed on the second body 20; the second magnetic member 37 can be disposed on the input device 21 and can be opposite to the first magnetic member 36, and the first magnetic member 36 and / or the second magnetic member 37 can be an electromagnet; the controller can be electrically connected to the electromagnet so that the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 can attract or repel each other.

[0064] That is to say, a first magnetic member 36 and a second magnetic member 37 can be respectively provided on the input device 21 and the second body 20, and at least one of the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 can be an electromagnet. The controller is electrically connected to the electromagnet to control whether the electromagnet is charged, so as to realize the mutual attraction or repulsion between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37. When the controller controls the electromagnet to be charged, a repulsive force or an attractive force can be generated between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37. The repulsive force can cause the input device 21 to rise relative to the second body 20, so that the input surface 211 protrudes from the target surface 22; the attractive force can cause the input device 21 to descend relative to the second body 20, so that the input surface 211 is flush with or recessed from the target surface 22; when the controller controls the electromagnet to be charged to generate a repulsive force between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37, and the controller controls the electromagnet to switch from being charged to not being charged, the repulsive force between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 disappears, and the input device 21 can return to its original position under the action of its own gravity; when the controller controls the electromagnet to be charged to generate an attractive force between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37, an elastic reset structure can also be provided between the second body 20 and the input device 21. When the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 generate an attractive force, the elastic reset structure can be in a compressed state, so that when the controller controls the electromagnet to switch from being charged to not being charged, the attractive force between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 disappears, and the reset force of the elastic reset structure can drive the input device 21 to return to its original position and rise.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 can be respectively provided on the second body 20 and the input device 21, and at least one of the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 can be an electromagnet. The controller can control whether the electromagnet is charged to realize the mutual attraction (to approach) or repulsion (to move away) between the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37, and thus can realize the lifting of the input device 21 connected to the second magnetic member 37 relative to the second body 20 connected to the first magnetic member 36.

[0066] In some embodiments, the controller can be a physical switch (such as a push button or a rotary button). When the electronic device is in an open state, for example, when the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is 120 degrees, the user can operate the physical switch to make the electromagnet connected to the controller charged or not charged, thereby realizing the state where the first magnetic member 36 and the second magnetic member 37 attract each other or are away from each other.

[0067] In some embodiments, the target component 30 may further include: a sensor; the sensor may be electrically connected to the first body 10 and the second body 20 to detect the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20, and the sensor may be signal-connected to the controller; when the sensor detects an increase in the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the controller may control the electromagnet to switch the input device 21 from the first position to the second position; when the sensor detects a decrease in the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the controller may control the electromagnet to switch the input device 21 from the second position to the first position. In this way, the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be detected by the sensor to achieve synchronous changes in the state of the input device 21 and the electronic device, thereby enhancing the user experience. Here, the sensor may be an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, or other sensor arrangements.

[0068] Here, when the sensor detects that the electronic device has switched from the closed state to the first target angle, the controller may control the electromagnet to switch the input device 21 from the first position to the second position; when the sensor detects that the electronic device has switched from the target open state to the second target angle, the controller may control the electromagnet to switch the input device 21 from the second position to the first position.

[0070] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 7 to 9 as shown, the first body 10 and the second body 20 may be rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 42; the target component 30 may include: a second cam 38, a second connecting rod 39, a third connecting rod 40, and a fourth connecting rod 41; the second cam 38 may be connected to the rotating shaft 42 and can rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 42; one end of the second connecting rod 39 may be rotatably connected to the second cam 38 so that the second connecting rod 39 can move in a direction closer to or farther from the rotating shaft 42; the third connecting rod 40 and the fourth connecting rod 41 may cross and be rotatably connected at the crossing position, one end of the third connecting rod 40 may be rotatably connected to the other end of the second connecting rod 39, and when the third connecting rod 40 and the second connecting rod 39 rotate relative to each other, the distance d between one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41 decreases; wherein, one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41 may be rotatably connected to the second body 20, and at least one of one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41 is slidably connected to the second body 20; the other end of the third connecting rod 40 and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 41 may be rotatably connected to the input device 21, and at least one of the other end of the third connecting rod 40 and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 41 is slidably connected to the input device 21.

[0071] When the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate relative to each other to increase the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the second cam 38 can rotate along with the rotating shaft 42 to drive the second connecting rod 39 to move away from the rotating shaft 42, so that one end of the third connecting rod 40 connected to the second connecting rod 39 moves towards one end of the fourth connecting rod 41, thereby reducing the distance d between one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41. In this way, the height of the cross structure formed by the third connecting rod 40 and the third connecting rod 40 increases, and one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41 can be rotatably connected to the second body 20, and the other end of the third connecting rod 40 and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 41 can be rotatably connected to the input device 21, so that the input device 21 can be lifted relative to the second body 20.

[0072] When the first body 10 and the second body 20 rotate relative to each other to decrease the angle between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the second cam 38 can rotate along with the rotating shaft 42 to drive the second connecting rod 39 to move towards the rotating shaft 42, so that one end of the third connecting rod 40 connected to the second connecting rod 39 moves towards one end of the fourth connecting rod 41, thereby increasing the distance d between one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41. In this way, the height of the cross structure formed by the third connecting rod 40 and the third connecting rod 40 decreases, and one end of the third connecting rod 40 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 41 can be rotatably connected to the second body 20, and the other end of the third connecting rod 40 and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 41 can be rotatably connected to the input device 21, so that the input device 21 can be lowered relative to the second body 20.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 42, and the target assembly 30 is connected to the rotating shaft 42 so as to drive the input device 21 to rise or fall along with the rotation of the rotating shaft 42, so that the linkage between the change of the electronic device state and the change of the position of the input device 21 can be realized, so as to enhance the user experience. Moreover, the structures of the second cam 38, the second connecting rod 39, the third connecting rod 40 and the fourth connecting rod 41 of the target assembly 30 are simple, so that the target assembly 30 is easy to manufacture and has a low cost.

[0074] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 7 to 9As shown, a fifth connecting rod 26 may be provided on the second body 20. The fifth connecting rod 26 may be provided with a first sliding groove 261 and a second sliding groove 262 located on the side of the first sliding groove 261 away from the rotating shaft 42. The first sliding groove 261 may include a first section 2611 and a second section 2612 arranged at an obtuse angle. The first section 2611 may be located at one end of the second section 2612 close to the rotating shaft 42. The extending direction of the second section 2612 may be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 42. The extending direction of the second sliding groove 262 may be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 42 and flush with the second section 2612. At least a part of one end of the third connecting rod 40 may be located in the first sliding groove 261, and at least a part of one end of the fourth connecting rod 41 may be located in the second sliding groove 262; A sixth connecting rod 212 may be provided on the input device 21. The sixth connecting rod 212 may be provided with a third sliding groove 2121 and a fourth sliding groove 2122. The third sliding groove 2121 and the fourth sliding groove 2122 may correspond to the first sliding groove 261 and the second sliding groove 262 respectively, and the extending directions of the third sliding groove 2121 and the fourth sliding groove 2122 may both be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 42. At least a part of the other end of the third connecting rod 40 may be located in the fourth sliding groove 2122, and at least a part of the other end of the fourth connecting rod 41 may be located in the third sliding groove 2121. In this way, one end of the third connecting rod 40 can slide and rotate along the first sliding groove 261, and the other end can slide and rotate along the fourth sliding groove 2122; One end of the fourth connecting rod 41 can slide and rotate along the second sliding groove 262, and the other end can slide and rotate along the third sliding groove 2121, so that the rising and falling process of the input device 21 is more stable.

[0075] The first sliding groove 261 may include a first section 2611 and a second section 2612 arranged at an obtuse angle. The first section 2611 may be located at one end of the second section 2612 close to the rotating shaft 42. The extending direction of the second section 2612 may be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 42. In this way, when one end of the third connecting rod 40 slides between the first section 2611 and the second section 2612 along the first sliding groove 261, a height difference will be generated to drive the input device 21 to move up and down relative to the second body 20, so as to increase the degree of lifting of the input device 21 relative to the second body 20.

[0076] A guide post may be provided on the fifth connecting rod 26. The extending direction of the guide post is parallel to the lifting direction of the input device 21. The sixth connecting rod 212 may be sleeved on the guide post, so that the input device 21 moves up and down along the guide post when lifting, making the lifting of the input device 21 more stable.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10As shown, an eccentric cam 421 may be provided on the rotating shaft 42, and two limiting surfaces 422 circumferentially distributed around the rotating shaft 42 may be provided on one side of the eccentric cam 421; at least a part of the second cam 38 may be located between the two limiting surfaces 422 and may be spaced apart from at least one of the limiting surfaces 422.

[0078] When the input device 21 is in the first position, the part of the second cam 38 located between the two limiting surfaces 422 may not contact either of the two limiting surfaces 422. After the rotating shaft 42 rotates to the first target angle, one of the limiting surfaces 422 may contact one side surface of the part of the second cam 38 located between the two limiting surfaces 422, so as to drive the second cam 38 to rotate, thereby realizing the rising of the input device 21; on the contrary, when the input device 21 is in the second position, the part of the second cam 38 located between the two limiting surfaces 422 may not contact either of the two limiting surfaces 422. After the rotating shaft 42 rotates to the second target angle, the other limiting surface 422 may contact the other side surface of the part of the second cam 38 located between the two limiting surfaces 422, so as to drive the second cam 38 to rotate, thereby realizing the lowering of the input device 21. In this way, it can be realized that during the process of the electronic device opening from the closed state to the first target angle, the target component 30 does not work, and the input surface 211 of the input device 21 is still flush with or recessed from the target surface 22. After the electronic device is opened to the first target angle, the second cam 38 contacts one of the limiting surfaces 422 to drive the target component 30 to start working, and switches the input device 21 from the first position to the second position; during the process of the electronic device closing from the target open state to the second target angle, the target component 30 does not work, and the input surface 211 of the input device 21 still protrudes from the target surface 22. After the electronic device is closed to the second target angle, the second cam 38 contacts the other limiting surface 422 to drive the target component 30 to start working, and switches the input device 21 from the second position to the first position.
