[0030] Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an electronic device provided in at least one embodiment of the present invention in different states. Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this invention do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.

[0033] The features "parallel," "perpendicular," and "identical" used in this invention include those strictly defined as "parallel," "perpendicular," and "identical," as well as those containing a certain degree of error, such as "approximately parallel," "approximately perpendicular," and "approximately identical." These terms represent acceptable deviations for a specific value, taking into account measurement and errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system). In embodiments of this invention, "center" can include a strictly geometrically centered location and an approximate center location within a small area surrounding the geometrically centered location. For example, "approximately" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within 10% or 5% of the value.

[0034] With the development of technology, electronic devices in various fields are iterating towards greater precision and intelligence. For example, electronic devices used in medical settings offer advantages such as higher diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency. When it is necessary to connect or interact with other devices, or to perform internal repairs on electronic devices, the operator needs to open the back panel of the electronic device to expose its internal interfaces and other structures.

[0035] During the research, the inventors of this invention discovered that when an operator opens the rear panel, the internal cables of the electronic device may be excessively stretched or forcibly disconnected. To avoid this, the operator needs to manually control the opening extent of the rear panel while operating the internal structure of the electronic device. This poses a certain difficulty for the operator, making it difficult to improve operational efficiency.

[0036] At least one embodiment of this utility model provides a support member, including a support body, a first guide rail, and a second guide rail. The support body extends along a first direction and includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other in the first direction. The first guide rail and the second guide rail are disposed on the support body. The first guide rail includes a third end and a fourth end disposed opposite to each other, with the fourth end being closer to the second end than the third end; the second guide rail includes a fifth end and a sixth end disposed opposite to each other, with the fifth end being closer to the first end than the sixth end, and the sixth end being closer to the second end than the fourth end; the fifth end connects to the portion between the third end and the fourth end, and there is a gap between the fifth end and the fourth end.

[0037] This utility model provides an electronic device, including a housing, a cover, and a support member, wherein the support member is movably connected between the housing and the cover.

[0038] At least one embodiment of this utility model provides a support member and electronic device in which the fifth end of the second guide rail is connected to the portion between the third and fourth ends of the first guide rail. This allows the fourth end of the first guide rail to provide a first support position, and the sixth end of the second guide rail to provide a second support position. When using the support member, for example, to support the cover (e.g., the rear panel) of an electronic device, the support member can support the cover at either the first or second support position, depending on the operator's needs. This provides more options for support positions and helps prevent other structural problems within the enclosure.

[0039] For example, in the first support position, the support member can keep the cover in a semi-open state. In this semi-open state, the cover provides ample space for the operator to disconnect one or more cables or separate structural components without overstretching or damaging the cables due to excessive opening. For example, in the second support position, the support member can keep the cover in a fully open state. In this case, it provides the operator with more operating space, facilitating internal maintenance of the electronic equipment. Therefore, when opening the cover, it can be opened to a semi-open state instead of directly to a fully open state, thus preventing overstretching or forced disconnection of cables and reducing wear and tear on the electronic equipment. Furthermore, the operator can disconnect cables in the semi-open state, allowing for shorter cable lengths. This helps reduce component compression caused by longer cables and also reduces the space occupied by cables inside the enclosure.

[0040] The support and electronic equipment are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments.

[0041] Figures 1 to 3 These are different schematic diagrams illustrating a support member provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that... Figures 1 to 3 The support shown can be the same support. To clearly illustrate the support, Figures 1 to 3 The difference may lie solely in the labeling.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 The support member 100 includes a support body 10, a first guide rail 110, and a second guide rail 120. The support body 10 extends along a first direction and includes a first end 101 and a second end 102 disposed opposite to each other in the first direction. The first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120 are disposed on the support body 10. The first guide rail 110 includes a third end 111 and a fourth end 112 disposed opposite to each other, with the fourth end 112 being closer to the second end 102 than the third end 111. The second guide rail 120 includes a fifth end 121 and a sixth end 122 disposed opposite to each other, with the fifth end 121 being closer to the first end 101 than the sixth end 122, and the sixth end 122 being closer to the second end 102 than the fourth end 112. The fifth end 121 is connected to the portion between the third end 111 and the fourth end 112, and there is a gap between the fifth end 121 and the fourth end 112.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 The fifth end 121 of the second guide rail 120 is connected to the portion between the third end 111 and the fourth end 112 of the first guide rail 110, so that the fourth end 112 of the first guide rail 110 can provide a first support position, and the sixth end 122 of the second guide rail 120 can provide a second support position.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 When using support 100, please refer to the following description. Figure 4 , Figure 5 The description also includes related information about electronic devices. For example, when the support member 100 supports the cover 300 (e.g., the rear panel) of an electronic device, the support member 100 can support the cover 300 in a first support position or a second support position, depending on the operator's operational needs. The support member 100 has a simple structure, provides more options for support positions, and helps prevent other structural problems from occurring inside the housing 200. Furthermore, the operator does not need to manually control the opening range of the cover 300, which improves the operator's operational efficiency.

[0045] For example, in the first support position, the support member can keep the cover in a semi-open state. In this case, the operator can perform operations such as disconnecting cables. For example, in the second support position, the support member can keep the cover in a fully open state. In this case, it provides the operator with more operating space, making it easier for the operator to perform internal maintenance and other operations on the electronic equipment. The operator can disconnect the cable in the semi-open state and then open it to the fully open state as needed, thus allowing for a shorter cable length. This helps to reduce component compression caused by long cables and also reduces the space occupied by cables inside the enclosure.

[0046] When the operator opens the cover, guided by the first guide rail in the support component, the cover does not open directly to the fully open state. Instead, it naturally falls to the half-open state due to gravity. Thus, the simple support component prevents excessive cable stretching or forced cable disconnection, reducing wear and tear on the electronic equipment. Furthermore, the operator does not need to actively memorize the cover's exact position in the half-open state, nor does it require other active drive components to open the cover. In addition, the support component is compact and lightweight, taking up minimal space within the enclosure or significantly increasing the weight of the electronic equipment.

[0047] For example, the support material can be made of any suitable material. For example, the support material can be plastic. For example, the aforementioned plastic materials can include at least one of the following: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide (PI), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Among these, polyoxymethylene (POM) can also be referred to as acetal. For example, materials including polyoxymethylene (i.e., acetal) can be used to make the support components.

[0048] For example, the support element can be manufactured in any way, and this disclosure does not limit this. For example, the support element can be obtained by processing solid sheet metal. For example, the support element can be injection molded. For example, the support element can be cast. Of course, this disclosure is not limited to these methods, and the support element can also be manufactured by other processes.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 For example, the first guide rail 110 can be a hollowed-out portion on the support body 10. For example, the first guide rail 110 can be a groove structure on the support body 10. For example, the second guide rail 120 can be a hollowed-out portion on the support body 10. For example, the second guide rail 120 can be a groove structure on the support body 10. It is understood that as long as the first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120 can serve a guiding function, this utility model does not limit the specific structure of the first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120.

[0050] refer to Figure 1 For example, the third end 111 and the fourth end 112 may be arranged opposite each other in the extending direction of the first guide rail 110. For example, the fifth end 121 and the sixth end 122 may be arranged opposite each other in the extending direction of the second guide rail 120.

[0051] refer to Figure 1For example, the distance between the two ends can be the maximum distance between their edges. For example, the distance between the fifth end 121 and the fourth end 112 can be the maximum distance between the edge of the fifth end 121 and the edge of the fourth end 112 in the extension direction of the first guide rail 110.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the support body 10 includes an edge 10a extending along a first direction. For example, the support body 10 may have only one edge extending along the first direction, or it may have multiple edges extending along the first direction. For example, with... Figure 1 The edge opposite to the edge 10a shown may also have at least a portion extending along the first direction.

[0053] For example, the first direction can be Figure 1 The V1 direction is shown.

[0054] refer to Figure 2 In some examples, the distance L2 between the fifth end 121 and the fourth end 112 is smaller than the distance L1 between the fifth end 121 and the third end 111. The distance L2 between the fifth end 121 and the fourth end 112 can be designed to be smaller, thereby better limiting the connector 400 in the examples described later, while making it easy for the operator to operate. For example, under the operator's operation, the connector 400 can move a short distance from the fourth end 112 to the fifth end 121 and enter the second guide rail 120, thereby facilitating the switch from the first support position where the fourth end 112 is located to the second support position where the sixth end 122 is located.

[0055] refer to Figure 2 For example, by setting the relative positional relationship between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121, the cover 300 can be opened using the weight of the cover 300, causing the connector 400 (see reference) to... Figure 4 , Figure 5 The connector 400 falls into the fourth end 112. That is, the connector 400 can slide to the fourth end 112 along the path defined by the first guide rail 110. At the same time, due to the gravity of the cover 300, the connector 400 can remain at the fourth end 112 without accidentally coming off when the operator does not perform other operations on the connector 400 (e.g., disengage the connector 400).

[0056] refer to Figure 2In some examples, the distance L2 between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121 can be 4 mm to 12 mm. This allows the connector 400 to be stably positioned at the fourth end 112, effectively preventing it from accidentally slipping out and sliding into the second guide rail 120. Simultaneously, under operator control, the connector 400 can retract a short distance from the fourth end 112 within the first guide rail 110 before entering the second guide rail 120, improving operator efficiency.

[0057] refer to Figure 2 For example, the distance L2 between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121 can be 5 mm to 11 mm. For example, the distance L2 between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121 can be 6 mm to 10 mm. For example, the distance L2 between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121 can be 7 mm to 9 mm. For example, the distance L2 between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121 can be 8 mm. Of course, the distance L2 between the fourth end 112 and the fifth end 121 is not limited to the above values ​​and can be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0058] refer to Figure 2 In some examples, the first guide rail 110 extends along a second direction, and the angle between the second direction and the first direction can be from 2 degrees to 6 degrees. For example, the extension direction of the first guide rail 110 is inclined relative to the edge 10a, and the angle between the extension direction of the first guide rail 110 and the extension direction of the edge 10a can be from 2 degrees to 6 degrees. By setting the inclination angle of the first guide rail 110, the smooth movement of the connector 400 within the first guide rail 110 can be ensured. Simultaneously, by designing the inclination angle of the first guide rail 110, it can be coordinated with the length of the first guide rail 110 to jointly determine the position of the fourth end 112 (i.e., the first support position).

[0059] For example, the first direction can be Figure 2 The V2 direction is shown.

[0060] The angle between the first direction and the second direction can be understood as the angle between two intersecting straight lines in the same plane, one extending along the first direction and the other along the second direction. It is understood that in the examples described later, the angle between the two directions can also be understood as the angle between two straight lines in the same plane, which will not be elaborated further in this invention. It is understood that the angle mentioned above in the embodiments of this invention refers to an acute angle.

[0061] For example, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be from 2.5 degrees to 5.5 degrees. For example, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be from 3 degrees to 5 degrees. For example, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be from 3.5 degrees to 4.5 degrees. For example, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be 4 degrees. Of course, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is not limited to the above values ​​and can be other values, which will not be elaborated further in this invention.

[0062] For example, in the direction intersecting the extension direction of the first guide rail, the maximum dimension of the third end can be greater than the average dimension of the first guide rail. In the example described later, the connector can pass through the support from the third end and slide within the first and second guide rails. By making the maximum dimension of the third end larger, it is advantageous to assemble the connector with the support at the third end.

[0063] refer to Figure 2 In some examples, the direction of the line L connecting the centers of the fifth end 121 and the sixth end 122 intersects the first direction. For example, Figure 2 The center points of the fifth end 121 and the sixth end 122 are schematically shown as circles, and the line connecting these two center points is the center line L. The line connecting the beginning and end of the second guide rail 120 is inclined relative to the edge 10a of the support member 100. This ensures smooth movement of the connector 400 within the second guide rail 120, allowing for seamless switching between the first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120. Furthermore, the design of the second guide rail 120 prevents interference between the support member 100 and other structures.

[0064] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some examples, the second guide rail 120 includes a first sub-guide rail 1201, a second sub-guide rail 1202, and a third sub-guide rail 1203, with the second sub-guide rail 1202 connecting the first sub-guide rail 1201 and the third sub-guide rail 1203. The first sub-guide rail 1201 includes a fifth end 121, and the third sub-guide rail 1203 includes a sixth end 122. The second sub-guide rail 1202 extends along a first direction, and the third sub-guide rail 1203 extends along a third direction, intersecting the first and third directions. Therefore, by setting the second sub-guide rail 1202 and the third sub-guide rail 1203 with an included angle, the movement path of the connector 400 in the second guide rail 120 can be extended, which is beneficial for improving the buffering effect.

[0065] For example, a third party can be Figure 2 The V3 direction is shown.

[0066] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some examples, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 15 and 30 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 16 and 29 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 17 and 28 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 18 and 27 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 19 and 26 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 20 and 25 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 21 and 24 degrees. For example, the angle between the third direction and the first direction can be between 22 and 23 degrees. Of course, the angle between the third direction and the first direction is not limited to the above values ​​and can also be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0067] refer to Figure 3 In some examples, the extension direction of the first sub-rail 1201 is perpendicular to the first direction, and the length of the first sub-rail 1201 is less than the length of the second sub-rail 1202 and less than the length of the third sub-rail 1203. When the cover 300 is closed, the first sub-rail 1201 can act as a ramp, allowing the connector 400 to move between the first rail 110 and the second rail 120.

[0068] refer to Figure 3 In some examples, the length of the first sub-guide rail 1201 in its extension direction can be from 5 mm to 12 mm. By designing the length range of the first sub-guide rail 1201, it is possible to ensure that the connector 400 can easily switch between the first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120 via the first sub-guide rail 1201, while preventing the first sub-guide rail 1201 from being too long, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the connector 400 between the first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120.

[0069] refer to Figure 3 For example, the length of the first sub-rail 1201 in its extending direction can be 7 micrometers to 10 micrometers. For example, the length of the first sub-rail 1201 in its extending direction can be 8 micrometers to 9 micrometers. Of course, the length of the first sub-rail 1201 in its extending direction is not limited to the above values, and can also be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0070] refer to Figure 3In some examples, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction is less than the length L03 of the third sub-guide rail 1203 in the third direction. Therefore, the third sub-guide rail 1203 can be set to be longer, which helps prevent the support member 100 from interfering with other structures during rotation. Furthermore, with the position of the sixth end 122 remaining unchanged, the included angle between the second sub-guide rail 1202 and the third sub-guide rail 1203 can be set to be larger, resulting in a smoother transition of the connector 400 between the second and third sub-guide rails 1202 and 1203.

[0071] refer to Figure 3 In some examples, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 6 mm to 20 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 7 mm to 19 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 8 mm to 18 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 9 mm to 17 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 10 mm to 16 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 11 mm to 15 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be from 12 mm to 14 mm. For example, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction can be 13 mm. Of course, the length L02 of the second sub-guide rail 1202 in the first direction is not limited to the above values ​​and can also be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0072] refer to Figure 3 In some examples, the length L03 of the third sub-guide rail 1203 in the third direction can be from 45 mm to 70 mm. For example, the length L03 of the third sub-guide rail 1203 in the third direction can be from 46 mm to 69 mm. For example, the length L03 of the third sub-guide rail 1203 in the third direction can be from 50 mm to 65 mm. For example, the length L03 of the third sub-guide rail 1203 in the third direction can be from 55 mm to 60 mm. Of course, the length L03 of the third sub-guide rail 1203 in the third direction is not limited to the above values ​​and can also be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0073] refer to Figure 3In some examples, the orthographic projection of the second guide rail 120 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction includes portions located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the first guide rail 110. Thus, the second guide rail 120 is generally inclined, and the inclination direction of the second guide rail 120 intersects the extension direction of the first guide rail 110. As the support member 100 rotates, when the connector 400 moves to the sixth end 122 in the second guide rail 120, the sixth end 122 can be higher than the fifth end 121, thereby improving the support stability of the support member 100 for the connector 400.

[0074] refer to Figure 3 For example, on a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the orthographic projection of the third sub-rail 1203 includes portions located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the first rail 110.

[0075] refer to Figure 2 In some examples, the distance between the center of the orthographic projection of the sixth end 122 and the center of the orthographic projection of the third end 111 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction can be 3 mm to 7 mm. For example, the distance between the center of the orthographic projection of the sixth end 122 and the center of the orthographic projection of the third end 111 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction can be 4 mm to 6 mm. For example, the distance between the center of the orthographic projection of the sixth end 122 and the center of the orthographic projection of the third end 111 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction can be 5 mm. For example, the distance between the center of the orthographic projection of the sixth end 122 and the center of the orthographic projection of the third end 111 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction can be 5.02 mm. Of course, the distance between the center of the orthographic projection of the sixth end 122 and the center of the orthographic projection of the third end 111 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction is not limited to the above values ​​and can be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0076] refer to Figure 3 In some examples, the support body 10 includes a first portion 11 and a second portion 12 connected to each other. The first portion 11 includes a first end 101, and the second portion 12 includes a second end 102. The width of the second portion 12 gradually decreases in a direction parallel to the first direction and away from the first portion 11. For example, the width of the second portion 12 is its dimension in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, such as... Figure 3 The Y direction is shown. By gradually reducing the width of the second part 12, interference between the support member 100 and other structures during rotation can be effectively prevented.

[0077] For example, "gradually decreasing" means that the width of the second part generally shows a decreasing trend. Local fluctuations are allowed, as long as they do not affect the overall decreasing trend. This utility model does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0078] refer to Figure 3 In some examples, the second end 102 of the support body 10 is provided with a recess 13 that is recessed toward the first end 101. By providing the recess 13, an operating position can be provided for the operator. For example, during the operator's operation, the operator's fingers can be placed in the recess 13 to apply force to the support 100. For example, the operator can apply force to the support 100 to rotate the support 100, causing the connector 400 to retract a certain distance from the first guide rail 110 and then enter the second guide rail 120 through the first sub-guide rail 1201.

[0079] Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the electronic device provided in at least one embodiment of the present invention in different states. It should be noted that... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The electronic devices shown can be the same electronic device.

[0080] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides an electronic device, including a housing 200, a cover 300, and a support member 100, wherein the support member 100 is movably connected between the housing 200 and the cover 300. Therefore, the support member 100 can be opened to different degrees to accommodate different operational needs of the user.

[0081] Since the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present utility model uses the above-mentioned support member, it also has corresponding beneficial technical effects, which will not be described in detail here.

[0082] For example, the cover can be a rear panel.

[0083] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and combined Figure 1 In some examples, the electronic device also includes a connector 400 fixedly connected to the cover 300, with the first guide rail 110 and the second guide rail 120 configured to guide the movement of the connector 400 to allow the cover 300 and the support 100 to rotate relative to the housing 200. For example, one end of the connector 400 may be fixed to the cover 300, and the other end may have at least a portion extending into a guide rail (such as the first guide rail 110 or the second guide rail 120).

[0084] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and combined Figure 1In some examples, the support member 100 includes a mounting hole 14 disposed at a first end 101. The electronic device also includes a positioning member 500, which passes through the mounting hole 14 and is connected to the housing 200 to allow the support member 100 to rotate relative to the housing 200 about the axis of the positioning member 500. Thus, the support member 100 can be mounted to the positioning member 500 through the mounting hole 14 to rotate relative to the housing 200, and the location of the mounting hole 14 can be considered as a pivot point.

[0085] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and combined Figure 1 For example, the positioning member 500 can be a columnar structure, so that the positioning member 500 can pass through the mounting hole 14, so that the support member 100 can drive the cover 300 to rotate relative to the box 200 about the axis of the positioning member 500.

[0086] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and combined Figure 1 It is understood that, as long as the positioning element 500 can serve as the installation position for the support element 100 and does not affect the rotation of the cover 300 driven by the support element 100, this utility model does not impose any restrictions on the structure, shape, or connection method with other structures of the positioning element 500. For example, the positioning element 500 can be fixedly connected to the box 200. For example, the positioning element 500 and the box 200 can be an integrally formed structure, such as the positioning element 500 being a part of the box 200 protruding towards the cover 300.

[0087] In some examples, reference Figure 4 and combined Figure 1 In response to the connector 400 moving within the first guide rail 110 to its fourth end 112, the cover 300 rotates by a first preset angle to enter a first open state. (Reference) Figure 5 and combined Figure 1 In response to the connector 400 moving within the second guide rail 120 to its sixth end 122, the cover 300 rotates a second preset angle to enter a second open state. The first preset angle is smaller than the second preset angle. For example, in Figure 4 In the first open state shown, the cover 300 is in a semi-open state. Figure 5 In the second open state shown, the cover 300 is fully open.

[0088] Understandably, the lid can rotate a first preset angle relative to the opening of the box, that is, rotate in a direction away from the opening of the box, thus entering a first open state. Afterward, the lid can continue to rotate a second preset angle relative to the opening of the box, that is, continue to rotate in a direction away from the opening of the box, thus entering a second open state.

[0089] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some examples, the cover 300 is configured to rotate about a first rotation axis R1, and the support 100 is configured to rotate about a second rotation axis R2, with the first and second rotation axes R1 being parallel to each other. This facilitates the realization of complex motion trajectories of the connector 400 in the first and second guide rails 110 and 120.

[0090] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, the cover 300 can be hinged to the housing 200, thereby allowing the cover 300 to be opened or closed relative to the housing 200. For example, when the cover 300 is open relative to the housing 200, the opening of the housing 200 can be exposed, thereby exposing structures such as cables inside the housing 200. For example, when the cover 300 is closed relative to the housing 200, the opening of the housing 200 can be covered to protect the internal structure of the housing 200.

[0091] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 During the closing of the cover 300, the support member 100 can be used again to place the cover 300 in a semi-open state. This allows the operator to perform operations such as connecting or reconnecting cables or other components before fully closing the cover 300. It is understood that when the operator opens or closes the cover 300, they only need to disengage the connector 400 from the fourth end 112, thus releasing the restriction of the fourth end 112 on the connector 400.

[0092] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, the cover 300 and the support 100 are movably connected to the same side wall of the box 200, and the side wall of the box 200 and the bottom wall 210 of the box 200 can be perpendicular to each other.

[0093] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some examples, the distance between the first rotation axis R1 and the bottom wall 210 in the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 210 of the housing 200 is different from the distance between the second rotation axis R2 and the bottom wall. For example, there is a height difference between the first rotation axis R1 and the second rotation axis R2 in the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 210 of the housing 200. This facilitates the installation of the support member 100 between the housing 200 and the cover 300, and also prevents the support member 100 from interfering with other structures during rotation.

[0094] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5For example, in the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 210 of the box 200, the distance between the first rotation axis R1 and the bottom wall 210 is less than the distance between the second rotation axis R2 and the bottom wall, that is, the second rotation axis R2 of the support member 100 is higher than the first rotation axis R1 of the cover 300.

[0095] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, in the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 210 of the box 200, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the Y direction shown, the height difference between the first rotation axis R1 and the second rotation axis R2 is 52 mm to 62 mm.

[0096] In other examples, for instance, the height difference between the first and second rotation axes can be 53 mm to 61 mm. For instance, the height difference between the first and second rotation axes can be 54 mm to 60 mm. For instance, the height difference between the first and second rotation axes can be 55 mm to 59 mm. For instance, the height difference between the first and second rotation axes can be 56 mm to 58 mm. For instance, the height difference between the first and second rotation axes can be approximately 57 mm. Of course, the height difference between the first and second rotation axes can also be other values, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0097] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the bottom wall 210 of the housing 200, there is a gap between the orthographic projection of the first rotation axis R1 and the orthographic projection of the second rotation axis R2. For example, in a direction parallel to the bottom wall 210 of the housing 200, the orthographic projections of the first rotation axis R1 and the second rotation axis R2 are spaced apart. This facilitates the installation of the support member 100 between the housing 200 and the cover 300, and also prevents the support member 100 from interfering with other structures during rotation.

[0098] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, the second rotation axis R2 is further away from the opening of the housing 200 than the first rotation axis R1. For example, in the X direction perpendicular to the Y direction, the minimum distance between the orthographic projection of the first rotation axis R1 onto the bottom wall 210 of the housing 200 and the orthographic projection of the second rotation axis R2 onto the bottom wall 210 of the housing 200 is 45 mm to 55 mm.

[0099] In other examples, for instance, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of the first and second rotation axes on the bottom wall of the housing can be 46 mm to 54 mm. For instance, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of the first and second rotation axes on the bottom wall of the housing can be 47 mm to 53 mm. For instance, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of the first and second rotation axes on the bottom wall of the housing can be 48 mm to 52 mm. For instance, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of the first and second rotation axes on the bottom wall of the housing can be 49 mm to 51 mm. For instance, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of the first and second rotation axes on the bottom wall of the housing can be approximately 50 mm. Of course, the minimum distance between the orthographic projections of the first and second rotation axes on the bottom wall of the housing can also be other values, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on these values.

[0102] (2) Where there is no conflict, features of the same embodiment and different embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
