[0029] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs.

[0031] The inventors of this application have discovered that in today's digital age, laptops and tablets generally adopt a single-screen design, which is insufficient for multitasking, especially when users need to view multiple windows simultaneously and do not want to shrink them. To solve this problem, users often choose to add one or more secondary screens to expand their visual workspace and improve work efficiency. However, existing stands, especially those designed to support multiple secondary screens, are often bulky. This not only makes them inconvenient to move and use, but also makes them difficult to adapt to the various sizes and proportions of displays on the market.

[0032] Reference Attachment Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 An embodiment of the present invention proposes a bracket, comprising: a bracket body 1, which has a storage space 2; a connecting arm 3, which includes: a first arm 31, which is slidably connected to the bracket body 1 along a first direction A; a second arm 32, which is rotatably connected to the first arm 31, and the second arm 32 has a connecting portion 3221 for connecting to a structure to be supported 8; the bracket has a folded state and an unfolded state: when the bracket is in the folded state, part or all of the second arm 32 and the first arm 31 are stored in the storage space 2; when the bracket is in the unfolded state, the angle between the first arm 31 and the second arm 32 is greater than 0°.

[0033] In one possible scenario, the support of the present application may be applied to electronic devices such as laptop computers, tablet computers, and mobile phones, as well as non-electronic devices such as books, display paintings, and handicrafts. That is, the supported structure may be an electronic device such as a laptop computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, display screen, as well as a non-electronic device such as a book, display painting, and handicrafts.

[0034] The size of the bracket body 1 can be set according to actual needs, and the shape of the bracket can be any shape, such as: oval, square, rectangular, or hexagonal. The bracket has a storage space 2, which can be an area for accommodating the first support arm 31 and the second support arm 32. The storage space 2 can be open or closed. The storage space 2 can be an internal cavity of the bracket body 1, or a recessed or reserved area on the outside of the bracket body 1. The connecting arm 3 can be used to support and connect the structure to be supported 8. The connecting arm 3 can be a plate-shaped connecting arm 3 or a rod-shaped connecting arm 3. In addition, the connecting arm 3 can be configured as a retractable structure, such as a telescopic sleeve rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, etc. The connecting arm 3 can include a first support arm 31, which can be of any shape, such as: plate-shaped, rod-shaped, etc. The first support arm 31 can be slidably connected to the main bracket through the cooperation of a slide groove and a slider, or through the meshing of a gear and a rack. The number of the first supporting arms 31 can be set according to actual needs. One connecting arm 3 can be provided with one first supporting arm 31 or multiple first supporting arms 31 to enhance the stability of the support.

[0035] Reference Attachment Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 3 And attached Figure 6 The connecting arm 3 may include a second arm 32. The first end 321 of the second arm 32 may be rotatably connected to the first arm 31. The first arm 31 and the second arm 32 may be rotatably connected via a hinge structure or by the cooperation of a ball head structure and a ball socket structure. The shape of the second arm 32 may be any shape, such as a plate, a rod, etc. Each first arm 31 may be connected to one or more second arms 32. The second end 322 of the second arm 32 may be provided with a connecting portion 3221 for connecting to the structure to be supported 8. The second end 322 of the second arm 32 may be at any position of the second arm 32, such as the connecting portion 3221 may be located on the end face of the second arm 32 opposite to the first arm 31; or the connecting portion 3221 may be located on the side of the second arm 32 opposite to the storage space 2, etc.

[0036] The connection forms of the connecting arm 3 to the structure to be supported 8 include, but are not limited to, clamping, supporting, magnetic attraction, and the like. For example, the connecting portion 3221 can be a variety of structures, such as a clamp, a buckle, a hook, or a magnetic attraction structure. The connecting portion 3221 may include a clamping member 3221b that clamps the structure to be supported 8, or the connecting portion 3221 may include a magnetic attraction member 3221a that connects the structure to be supported 8 by magnetic attraction. When the connecting portion 3221 includes both the clamping member 3221b and the magnetic attraction member 3221a, the clamping member 3221b and the magnetic attraction member 3221a may be located on the same end face of the second arm 32, or may be located on two adjacent end faces of the second arm 32, etc. The end surface area of ​​the second end 322 of the second support arm 32 can be larger than the end surface area of ​​the first end 321. This can be achieved by making the thickness of the second end 322 of the second support arm 32 greater than the thickness of the first end 321, or by making the width of the second end 322 greater than the width of the first end 321, or by making both the thickness and width of the second end 322 greater than the thickness and width of the first end 321. When the end surface area of ​​the second end 322 is increased, a larger support area can be provided, making the structure to be supported 8 more stable and less likely to shake or fall.

[0037] In addition, in order to reduce the weight of the bracket and reduce the cost of materials, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 10 can be set on the first arm 31 and the second arm 32. The plurality of weight-reducing holes 10 can be arranged at intervals along the first direction on the first arm 31 and the second arm 32, and the shape of the weight-reducing holes 10 can be any shape, such as: rectangular, elliptical or polygonal, etc.

[0038] In addition, the connecting portion 3221 can simultaneously connect to one structure to be supported 8 or multiple structures to be supported 8, such as: the connecting portion 3221 can be set as a clamping member 3221b or a magnetic member 3221a for clamping or adsorbing the display screen of an electronic device; or the connecting portion 3221 can simultaneously include two clamping members 3221b, which are respectively used to clamp the display screens of two electronic devices; or the connecting portion 3221 can simultaneously include two magnetic members 3221a, which are respectively used to adsorb the display screens of two electronic devices; or the connecting portion 3221 can simultaneously include one clamping member 3221b and two magnetic members 3221a, the clamping member 3221b can be used to clamp the main screen of a laptop computer, and the two magnetic members 3221a can be used to adsorb the secondary screen of a laptop computer or the display screen of a tablet computer, etc.

[0039] The bracket can have a folded state and an unfolded state. Figure 5 -Attached Figure 7The folded state may refer to the stand being compressed or folded for easy storage and carrying. In this state, the first arm 31 of the stand can be completely stored in the storage space 2, and the second arm 32 can be completely stored in the storage space 2 by rotating; or the first arm 31 can be completely stored in the storage space 2, and the second arm 32 can be partially stored in the storage space 2, etc. Here, storage can refer to placement, storage, or hiding, etc. Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 , the expanded state may refer to the bracket being fully opened or expanded and in use. When the bracket is in the expanded state, the first arm 31 may not slide and remain completely stored in the storage space 2, or the first arm 31 may partially slide out of the storage space 2. Or when the storage space 2 is a local area of ​​one of the surfaces of the bracket body 1, and the sliding trajectory of the first arm 31 is larger than the local area, the first arm 31 may completely slide out of the storage space 2 when the bracket is in the expanded state and still remain connected to the surface. When the bracket is in the expanded state, the second arm 32 rotates relative to the first arm 31, and the rotation of the second arm 32 causes the angle α between the second arm 32 and the first arm 31 to change from 0° (such as Figure 5 As shown) gradually increases so that the second arm 32 is unfolded outside the storage space 2 (as shown Figure 11 The angle between the second arm 32 and the first arm 31 can be any angle, such as 90°, 120°, or 180°. The second arm 32 can be rotated to different angles to accommodate structures to be supported 8 and target structures 9 of different sizes, thereby supporting the structures to be supported 8 and target structures 9 at different angles.

[0040] The connecting portion 3221 of the second arm 32 can be spaced apart from the first arm 31 along the first direction A, that is, when the second arm 32 is rotated and unfolded, the connecting portion 3221 can move from a position overlapping with the first arm 31 in the first direction A to a position spaced apart from the first arm 31 along the first direction A as the second arm 32 changes. At this time, the extension direction of the second arm 32 can overlap with the first direction A or form an angle.

[0041] The present invention provides a stand comprising a stand body 1, a storage space 2, a first arm 31, and a second arm 32. When the stand is folded, the second arm 32 can rotate to overlap with the first arm 31 and be stored together within the storage space 2 of the stand body 1, while the first arm 31 can slide completely into the storage space 2. This allows the entire stand to occupy only the stand body 1 itself, significantly improving space utilization and facilitating storage and portability. When the stand is unfolded, the second arm 32 rotates to extend outside the storage space 2. The user can slide the first arm 31 partially out of the storage space 2 according to the size of the structure 8 to be supported. This ensures the stand's support function while reducing the exposed area of ​​the stand, allowing the stand to remain compact in the unfolded state, thereby providing flexible and efficient support in various usage scenarios. This stand structure not only minimizes the space it occupies when not in use but also allows for quick adjustment according to different needs when in use, balancing portability and practicality.

[0042] In a modified embodiment of the present application, there may be multiple connecting arms 3 , wherein at least two connecting arms 3 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction A to connect the structure 8 to be supported on both sides along the first direction A.

[0043] In one possible case, refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4The number of connecting arms 3 can be multiple, for example, there can be four connecting arms 3, which can correspond to the four edges of the bracket body 1 respectively; or there can be five connecting arms 3, of which three can be arranged side by side on one side of the bracket body 1 along the first direction A, and the other two can be arranged side by side on the other side of the bracket body 1 along the first direction A. Among the multiple connecting arms 3, at least two connecting arms 3 can be arranged opposite each other along the first direction A, that is, at least two connecting arms 3 can be arranged or configured on both sides of the bracket body 1, pointing in opposite directions in the first direction A. For example, when the bracket is used to support a tablet computer or a display, the first direction A can be a horizontal direction, and the two connecting arms 3 can be located on the left and right sides of the bracket body 1, respectively. When the bracket is unfolded, the two connecting arms 3 can extend outward along the horizontal direction (first direction A), one on the left and one on the right. The connecting portions 3221 of the connecting arms 3 can be located on the left and right sides of the tablet computer or display, thereby fixing the structure to be supported on both sides. The two connecting arms 3 can each clamp or absorb a structure 8 to be supported, or the two connecting arms 3 can jointly clamp or absorb a structure 8 to be supported. By having two opposing connecting arms 3 jointly clamp a structure 8 to be supported, the support can be more stable. Furthermore, because the first support arm 31 can be slidably connected relative to the bracket body 1, the sliding distance between the two opposing connecting arms 3 can be selected based on the size of the structure 8 to be supported, thereby changing the distance between the two opposing connecting portions 3221 to accommodate structures 8 of different sizes. The first direction A herein refers to the direction in which the first support arm 31 extends.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting arm 3 further includes an elastic member 33 , with two ends of the elastic member 33 connected to the bracket body 1 and the first arm 31 respectively.

[0045] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 3, the connecting arm 3 may also include an elastic member 33, which is an element that can deform after being subjected to force and return to its original shape after the external force is removed. The elastic member 33 can be a spring, an elastic band, a metal shrapnel, etc. The extension direction of the elastic member 33 is the first direction A. One end of the elastic member 33 can be connected to the first arm 31, and the other end can be connected to the bracket body 1. The elastic member 33 can expand and contract as the first arm 31 slides, providing elastic support, so that the sliding of the first arm 31 is smoother. Since one end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the first arm 31 and the other end is connected to the bracket body 1, when the first arm 31 slides, the elastic members 33 corresponding to the two relatively arranged connecting arms 3 will generate opposite elastic forces, so that a clamping space is formed between the relatively arranged connecting parts 3221, which is used to clamp the structure to be supported 8. The user can slide the first arm 31 according to the size of the structure to be supported 8 to adjust the size of the clamping space. In addition, through the provision of the elastic member 33, when the user stores the device, the elastic member 33 can shrink into the storage space 2 due to its own elastic restoring force, and the user does not need to manually slide the first arm 31 to retract the first arm 31, thus saving the storage step.

[0046] In some embodiments, the bracket also includes: a cover plate 4, which is connected to the bracket body 1 and divides the storage space 2 into: a first storage space 21, located between the cover plate 4 and the bracket body 1; a second storage space 22, located on the side opposite to the cover plate 4 and the bracket body 1; when the bracket is in a folded state, the first arm 31 is stored in the first storage space 21, and the connecting part 3221 is stored in the second storage space 22.

[0047] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 8 The cover plate 4 is a plate-like structure that can be used to cover or enclose a specific area. Its functions include, but are not limited to, protecting internal components and separating spaces. The cover plate 4 can be of any shape, such as circular, rectangular, or hexagonal. It can be flat or have slots to provide sufficient storage space. The cover plate 4 can be connected to the bracket body 1 via connectors such as bolts, clips, and hinges. The cover plate 4 can separate the storage space 2 into two independent areas: a first storage space 21 and a second storage space 22.

[0048] The first storage space 21 can be located between the cover plate 4 and the bracket body 1. That is, the cavity between the cover plate 4 and the bracket body 1 can be the first storage space 21. This cavity can be semi-enclosed or fully enclosed. The size and shape of the first storage space 21 can match the first support arm 31. The size of the first storage space 21 can be larger than the size of the first support arm 31 to ensure smooth sliding. When the first support arm 31 slides into the first storage space 21, it can be completely hidden in the first storage space 21.

[0049] The second storage space 22 is located on the side of the cover plate 4 facing away from the bracket body 1. This open space allows the second arm 32 to be more easily stored in the second storage space 22 or deployed outside the second storage space 22. When the bracket is folded, the second arm 32 can be rotated to the side of the cover plate 4 facing away from the bracket body 1. In other words, the second arm 32 is stored in the second storage space 22, and the cover plate 4 separates the first arm 31 from the second arm 32.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connecting arm 3 further includes: a third arm 34 connected to the bracket body 1 , and the third arm 34 has a mounting portion 341 that can be mounted on the target structure 9 .

[0051] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 The third arm 34 can be connected to the bracket body 1 by means of bolts, snaps, etc. The third arm 34 can be set at any position of the bracket body 1. For example, when the connecting arm 3 is set on the left and right sides of the bracket body 1 along the first direction A, the third arm 34 can be connected to the top or bottom of the bracket body 1. The number of third arms 34 can be any number, such as 1, 2 or 3. When the number of third arms 34 is 2, the two third arms 34 can be set at any edge of the bracket body 1 along the first direction A. The third arm 34 can be a plate-like structure or a rod-like structure. The third arm 34 is used to connect to the target structure 9. The connection here includes but is not limited to clamping, magnetic attraction and other connection methods. For example, the third arm 34 is provided with a mounting portion 341. The mounting portion 341 can be used to connect to the target structure 9. The form of connection is not limited to clamping, magnetic attraction or hooking. For example, mounting portion 341 may be a U-shaped connecting surface that is mounted on the top of target structure 9; or mounting portion 341 may be a clamping member 3221b that is clamped to the side edge of target structure 8. Target structure 9 may include, but is not limited to, display screens, books, etc. Third arm 34 stabilizes the support's clamping effect, preventing relative movement between support body 1 and target structure 9.

[0052] Additionally, the mounting portion 341 may be provided with an elastic layer, such as one on the U-shaped surface. This elastic layer is a layer of elastic material that deforms when subjected to pressure and returns to its original shape when the pressure is released. It can be a rubber layer, a foam layer, or the like. The elastic layer can be provided on one sidewall of the U-shaped surface or on two opposing sidewalls. When the elastic layer is provided on one sidewall of the U-shaped surface, it provides a certain amount of compression space, allowing even thinner target structures 9 to be securely clamped. When the elastic layer is provided on opposing sidewalls, it can better accommodate target structures 9 of varying thicknesses. In the absence of external pressure, the elastic layer maintains a certain distance between the two sides. When the target structure 9 is inserted, the elastic layer deforms under pressure, tightly conforming to the thickness of the target structure 9 on both sides. The provision of the elastic layer not only allows the stent to accommodate target structures 9 of varying sizes, but also provides appropriate clamping force based on the thickness of the target structure 9, ensuring that the target structure 9 is stably secured to the stent in all conditions.

[0053] In some embodiments, the target structure 9 is a first display screen, and the structure to be supported 8 is a second display screen.

[0054] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 The bracket can be used to simultaneously support a first display and a second display. The first and second displays can be of the same or different sizes and have the same or different shapes. For example, target structure 9 is the main screen of a laptop computer, and supported structure 8 is an expansion screen independent of the laptop computer.

[0055] In some embodiments, the storage space 2 further includes: a third storage space 23 , and the third arm 34 is movably connected to the bracket body 1 , so that the third arm 34 can be stored in the third storage space 23 .

[0056] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 7 , Attachment Figure 9 , the third arm 34 can be movably connected to the bracket body 1, and the third arm 34 can be connected to any position of the bracket body 1, and no specific limitation is given here, such as: the third arm 34 is connected to the side of the bracket body 1 close to the cover plate 4, or the third arm 34 is connected to the side of the bracket body 1 away from the cover plate 4. The third arm 34 is movably connected to the bracket body 1, and the movably connection here includes but is not limited to: snap connection, bolt connection, mortise and tenon connection, or sliding connection, etc. The third storage space 23 is an area for accommodating the third arm 34. When the third arm 34 is arranged on the same side of the bracket body 1 as the cover plate 4, the third storage space 23 may be a part of the first storage space 21, or as Figure 7As shown, when the third arm 34 is positioned on the side of the bracket body 1 opposite the cover plate 4, the third storage space 23 can be an area independent of the first storage space 21 and the second storage space 22, and can be an open space. When the third arm 34 is movably connected to the bracket body 1 by sliding, the third arm 34 can slide into and out of the third storage space 23. The provision of the third arm 34 of this bracket not only increases the support stability of the connecting arm 3 but also facilitates storage.

[0057] In addition, the bracket body 1 may be provided with multiple mounting locations, and the multiple mounting locations may be arranged according to actual needs. For example, the multiple mounting locations may be spaced apart along the first direction A, or the multiple mounting locations may be spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the first direction A. During the sliding process, the third arm 34 may be connected to different mounting locations to accommodate target structures 9 of different sizes. The connection between the third arm 34 and the mounting location may be achieved through mortise and tenon joints, magnetic attraction, bolts, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments, the bracket further includes: a support leg 5 for supporting the bracket body 1, the support leg 5 being movably connected to the bracket body 1 so that the support leg 5 is stored in the storage space 2; and a locking piece for limiting the movement of the support leg 5.

[0059] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 1 The support leg 5 can be used to support the bracket body 1 to ensure that the bracket is more stable when in use. The support leg 5 can be set on the cover plate 4 or on the bracket body 1. The support leg 5 can be movably connected to the bracket body 1 by means of hinges, folding, etc. The locking piece is used to limit the rotation of the support leg 5. The locking piece can be a structural member such as a buckle or a bolt. In addition, the support leg 5 can be inserted into the bracket body 1 through the oblique insertion hole 12. The inclination angle of the oblique insertion hole 12 can limit the rotation range of the support leg 5. When the bracket is in the unfolded state, the support leg 5 can be unlocked by the locking piece so that one end of the support leg 5 is away from the bracket body 1. When the bracket is in the folded state, the support leg 5 can be locked in the storage space 2 by the locking piece. The storage space 2 here can be the second storage space 22 or a spatial area independent of the first storage space 21 and the second storage space 22. The setting of the support leg 5 not only improves the support stability of the bracket, but also has the characteristics of being easy to store and carry.

[0060] In addition, the supporting leg 5 can be movably connected to the bracket body 1 at both ends of its extension direction, for example, both ends of the supporting leg 5 can be plugged into the bracket body 1 through the oblique insertion hole 12. When in use, the user can choose to connect any end of the supporting leg 5 to the bracket body 1 and the other end away from the bracket body 1 according to needs. Figure 1As shown, when the bracket supports the structure to be supported 8, the third arm 34 is mounted on the top of the target structure 9 (the target structure 9 can be a display device, such as a monitor, the display part of a laptop computer, a tablet computer, etc.; the target structure 9 can also be a non-display device, such as a drawing board, a photo frame, etc.), and the end of the support leg 5 away from the third arm 34 is unlocked for support. The bracket can be used to support electronic devices such as tablet computers and mobile phones, and can also support non-electronic devices such as books and paintings. Figure 9 As shown, when the bracket is used for supporting, the U-shaped surface of the mounting portion 341 of the third arm 34 supports an electronic device or non-electronic device, and the side of the mounting portion 341 opposite the U-shaped surface contacts the support surface. At this time, the end of the support leg 5 adjacent to the mounting portion 341 is unlocked and supported on the support surface, which can be flat or concave and convex for placing the bracket. In addition, for easier support, one end of the bracket body can be extended to form an auxiliary support portion 11 for joint support with the support leg.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bracket body 1 is configured with a first magnetic portion 6, and the third arm 34 and / or the support leg 5 is configured with a second magnetic portion 7. The first magnetic portion 6 and the second magnetic portion 7 cooperate with each other to achieve locking.

[0062] In some cases, refer to the attached Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 7 , Attachment Figure 9 , Attachment Figure 10 The bracket body 1 may be provided with a first magnetic portion 6. The first magnetic portion 6 may be a magnetic material that attracts metal surfaces through magnetic force or a metal member that can be attracted by a magnet. The first magnetic portion 6 may be a single magnetic structure or multiple magnetic structures. When the first magnetic portion 6 is a magnetic material, the second magnetic portion 7 may be a magnetic material or a metal member. When the first magnetic portion 6 is a metal member, the second magnetic portion 7 may be a magnetic material with magnetic force. The third arm 34 may be provided with multiple second magnetic portions 7 spaced apart along its extension direction, and the support leg 5 may be provided with multiple second magnetic portions 7 spaced apart along its extension direction. There may be one or more first magnetic portions 6. Some of the multiple first magnetic portions 6 may be provided at positions on the bracket body 1 corresponding to the third arm 34, configured to attract the second magnetic portion 7 of the third arm 34 to lock the third arm 34 within the third storage space 23, or to lock the third arm 34 in its current position when it is extended into the third storage space 23. Some of the multiple first magnetic portions 6 can be set at positions of the bracket body 1 corresponding to the support leg 5, and are used to be attracted to the second magnetic portion 7 of the support leg 5 to lock any end of the support leg 5.

[0063] According to a second aspect of the present application, there is provided an electronic device, comprising: a bracket body 1 having a storage space 2; a connecting arm 3, comprising: a first arm 31, slidably connected to the bracket body 1 along a first direction A; a second arm 32, rotatably connected to the first arm 31, the second arm 32 having a connecting portion 3221 for connecting to a structure to be supported 8; the bracket has a folded state and an unfolded state: when the bracket is in the folded state, part or all of the second arm 32 and the first arm 31 are stored in the storage space 2; when the bracket is in the unfolded state, the angle between the first arm 31 and the second arm 32 is greater than 0°.

[0064] In some possible cases, the electronic device may be a laptop computer, a mobile phone, or an e-book. Furthermore, the end surface of the second end 322 of the second support arm 32 may be provided with a convex portion protruding from the end surface. The convex portion may be in any shape, such as a rectangle, a cylinder, or a square column. The number of convex portions may be any number, such as 1, 2, or 3. The structure to be supported 8 and the target structure 9 may be provided with recessed portions that cooperate with the convex portions. The shape of the recessed portions matches the shape of the convex portions, and the number of recessed portions is the same as the number of convex portions. The cooperation between the recessed portions and the convex portions can strengthen the connection between the bracket and the target structure 9 and the structure to be supported 8.

[0065] The electronic device provided in this application includes a bracket body 1, a storage space 2, a first arm 31, and a second arm 32. The second arm 32 in the electronic device can be rotated to overlap with the first arm 31 and stored together in the storage space 2 of the bracket body 1, while the first arm 31 can slide completely into the storage space 2, so that the space occupied by the entire bracket is limited to the bracket body 1 itself, greatly improving space utilization and facilitating storage and carrying. When the bracket is in the unfolded state, the second arm 32 is rotated to unfold outside the storage space 2. The user can slide the first arm 31 according to the actual size of the structure 8 to be supported, and the first arm 31 can be partially slid out of the storage space 2. This can not only ensure the support function of the bracket, but also reduce the overall exposed part, so that the bracket still maintains a certain degree of compactness in the unfolded state, thereby providing flexible and efficient support effects in different usage scenarios. The bracket structure of this electronic device not only minimizes the space it occupies when not in use, but also supports multiple screens when in use, taking into account both portability and practicality.
