Therefore, in an embodiment not shown, the bottom of the first input module and the first housing are connected by a pivot structure having a first extension portion and a second extension portion, the accommodating space includes a first accommodating area and a second accommodating area adjacent to each other, the first input module is disposed in the first accommodating area, the second input module is disposed in the second accommodating area, and the predetermined block of the second input module extends into the first accommodating area. When the first shell and the second shell are relatively covered, the second end part of the first input module covers the preset block of the second input module; when the first end of the first input module is driven to rise by the pin joint structure along with the opening of the first shell, the preset block of the second input module is exposed at the same time.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
