Description

Electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device in which a second body can bounce off the first body.

With the gradual popularization of the Internet and the trend of miniaturization of electronic products, computer peripheral products such as video cameras have been reduced to be directly hanged on desktop displays, and users can easily access the Internet for image communication.

The early computer cameras were plug-in models, so they were more space-consuming and messy and lacked a sense of unity. In addition, notebook computers have gradually replaced desktop computers, and the cameras used for video calls have become necessary computer peripherals. Therefore, the camera is directly coupled to the bezel of the display, giving the display a dual use function. However, current electronic products have moved toward a narrow bezel, and the display has gradually had insufficient space to set the camera lens. Although the industry has proposed that the camera lens can be telescopically hidden in the outer frame of the display, it is still necessary to manually pull the camera lens out, which lacks the convenience of automatic extension, and the current camera lens can only be vertical. Pulling up, the display easily blocks the shooting range of the camera lens, which limits the shooting angle and affects the shooting effect.

The invention provides an electronic device, wherein the second body can automatically bounce out of the first body and flip forward to a working position.

The electronic device of the present invention comprises a first body, a bouncing bracket, a second body and a torsion element.
