Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Some electronic devices have functions to assist in learning from books. By installing reflective components such as mirrors on the electronic device, the contents of books on a table can be reflected onto a camera to achieve functions such as text recognition and book reading. Currently, because the reflective components need to be installed separately, the operation is inconvenient, resulting in low ease of use for the electronic devices. This application provides an electronic device to solve the related technical problems.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an electronic device, including a main body 10, a reflective component 20, and a limiting member 30. The main body 10 includes a display surface 101, a back surface 102, a connecting surface 103, and abutting surface 104. The display surface 101 and the back surface 102 are disposed opposite to each other. The connecting surface 103 and the abutting surface 104 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the display surface 101 and the back surface 102. The main body 10 is provided with a camera 11 and a storage part 12.

[0034] The reflective component 20 is movably connected to the main body 10, allowing the reflective component 20 to switch between a retracted state and an extended state. Please refer to [further details]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the reflective component 20 is in the unfolded state, the reflective surface 200 faces the bottom of the display surface 101, and the reflected light from the reflective surface 200 is at least partially located in the light-receiving area of ​​the camera 11. When the reflective component 20 is in the retracted state, the reflective component 20 is stored in the storage part 12.

[0035] The electronic device provided in this application, by movably connecting the reflective component 20 to the main body 10, allows the user to directly operate the reflective component 20 to unfold when it is needed, without the need for additional carrying and installation, and there is no risk of losing the reflective component 20, thus improving the ease of operation of the electronic device.

[0036] The electronic device of this application can be a tablet computer, which enables the tablet computer to also have the intelligent learning function of a learning machine, increasing the functionality of the electronic device and thus reducing the user's purchase cost.

[0037] When using an electronic device to recognize the content of a book, the user places the contact surface 104 against the desktop and unfolds the reflective component 20. Simultaneously, the user can place the book on the desktop. The angle between the reflective surface 200 and the display surface 101 can be greater than or equal to 60° and less than or equal to 110°, allowing the reflective surface 200 to reflect the content of the book to the camera 11. The specific angle range between the reflective surface 200 and the display surface 101 is not limited, as long as it can reflect the content of the book to the camera 11.

[0038] The user can adjust the angle between the reflective surface 200 and the display surface 101 according to the distance between the main body 10 and the book. The farther the book is placed, the larger the angle between the reflective surface 200 and the display surface 101, so that the reflective surface 200 can reflect content from a greater distance. The closer the book is placed, the smaller the angle between the reflective surface 200 and the display surface 101, so that the reflective surface 200 can reflect content from a closer distance.

[0039] The reflective component 20 is rotatably connected to the main body 10, allowing it to be retracted to the back surface 102. When in the retracted state, the reflective component 20 is located on the back surface 102 to avoid interfering with the display surface 101, thus improving the user experience.

[0040] In one embodiment, the receiving portion 12 may be a groove provided on the back surface 102, and the reflective component 20 is at least partially received within the receiving portion 12. Because the receiving portion 12 has a groove structure, partially receiving the reflective component 20 within the receiving portion 12 reduces the outward protrusion of the reflective component 20, improving the aesthetics of the electronic device. At the same time, the groove structure exposes the receiving portion 12, facilitating user operation of the reflective component 20 and further enhancing the user experience.

[0041] In one embodiment, the receiving portion 12 is a notch formed by a recess in the back surface 102. Please refer to the following: Figure 5 As shown, the reflective assembly 20 includes a bracket 21 and a reflective element 22 that is rotatably connected to the bracket 21 about a first direction. The bracket 21 is disposed in the storage part 12.

[0042] The bracket 21 can extend out of the storage portion 12 along the second direction. After extending out of the storage portion 12, the reflector 22 rotates along the first direction toward the display surface 101, so that the reflected light from the reflector 200 can be located in the light-collecting area of ​​the camera 11.

[0043] Because the storage section 12 has an opening, the reflective component 20 can be housed within it, further enhancing the aesthetics of the electronic device. By incorporating a sliding bracket 21 and a rotatable reflector 22, the aesthetics are improved while ensuring the reflective component 20 can be properly deployed and retracted. Simultaneously, in the retracted state, the reflective surface 200 faces inwards towards the main body 10, preventing reflected light from interfering with user operation and improving the user experience.

[0044] The specific structural form for the sliding of the storage portion 12 and the bracket 21 is not limited. In one embodiment, the inner wall of the storage portion 12 is recessed to form a sliding groove (not shown) arranged along a second direction, and the bracket 21 is slidably installed with the sliding groove, with the first direction perpendicular to the second direction. For example, a sliding groove may be recessed on the side wall 121 of the storage portion 12. The specific location of the sliding groove is not limited. The structural form of the sliding groove is relatively simple and easy to manufacture. In another embodiment, the storage portion 12 is provided with a guide rod (not shown) arranged along the second direction, and the bracket 21 is slidably installed with the guide rod. For example, a guide rod may be fixed on the bottom wall 122 of the storage portion 12. The specific location of the guide rod is not limited. The structural form of the guide rod can provide high strength.

[0045] In one embodiment, the reflective assembly 20 further includes a first elastic member 211, which is disposed between the bracket 21 and the inner wall of the storage portion 12 along the sliding direction of the bracket 21. In the retracted state, the first elastic member 211 is in a compressed state. The electronic device also includes a limiting member 30 disposed in the storage portion 12. In both the unfolded and retracted states, the limiting member 30 and the reflective assembly 20 are mutually limitingly engaged.

[0046] By setting the first elastic element 211 and the limiting element 30, when the reflective component 20 switches from the retracted state to the extended state, the limiting element 30 disengages from the reflective component 20, and the bracket 21 slides under the push of the first elastic element 24, eliminating the need for manual operation by the user and improving operational convenience. When the reflective component 20 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, the user can manually press down to limit the limiting element 30 to engage with the reflective component 20, preventing the reflective component 20 from accidentally extending.

[0047] When the reflective assembly 20 is in the deployed state, a third-direction upper limit member 30 is positioned side-by-side with the reflective assembly 20. The upper limit member 30 is slidably connected to the main body 10 along the third direction, which is perpendicular to the second direction. One of the reflective assembly 20 and the upper limit member 30 is provided with a limit hole 23, and the other is provided with a limit post 32. In the retracted and deployed states, different limit posts 32 can extend into the same limit hole 23, or the same limit post 32 can extend into different limit holes 23.

[0048] By setting the limiting hole 23 and the limiting post 32, the limiting component 30 limits the reflective component 20 using the hole and post structure. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and reduces the manufacturing cost of electronic devices.

[0049] Specifically, the limiting hole 23 can be provided on the reflective assembly 20. The limiting post 32 can be provided on the limiting member 30. Please refer to both. Figure 6 As shown, the limiting member 30 includes a base 31. A limiting post 32 protrudes from the base 31 toward the reflective assembly 20.

[0050] The number of limiting holes 23 can be two, and the number of limiting posts 32 can also be two. The limiting holes 23 may include a first limiting hole 231 disposed on the bracket 21 and a second limiting hole 232 disposed on the reflector 22. The limiting posts 32 include a first limiting post 321 and a second limiting post 322.

[0051] When the reflective assembly 20 is in the retracted state, the first limiting post 321 engages with the first limiting hole 231, and the second limiting post 322 engages with the second limiting hole 232. When the reflective assembly 20 is in the extended state, the second limiting post 322 engages with the first limiting hole 231. In the retracted state, the reflective assembly 20 has multiple hole-post engagement limiting structures, which improves the operational stability of the reflective assembly 20.

[0052] In other embodiments, the number of limiting holes 23 may be one and the number of limiting posts 32 may be two. Alternatively, the number of limiting holes 23 may be two and the number of limiting posts 32 may be one. The specific number and position of the limiting holes 23 and the limiting posts 32 are not limited.

[0053] In one embodiment, the electronic device further includes a second elastic member 33 disposed along a third direction. One end of the second elastic member 33 is connected to the limiting member 30, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the storage portion 12. In the unfolded state and the retracted state, the second elastic member 33 is in a compressed state. By providing the second elastic member 33, the limiting member 30 can press against the reflective assembly, thereby improving the stability of the reflective assembly 20.

[0054] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
