The support 253 and the first connector 251 can then be mounted to the fob body 20, and the clamp assembly 30 can be attached to the first connector 251 and then mounted to the fob body 20. Then, the clamping portion 33 of the remote control device 10 is rotated relative to the carrying portion 32 and adjusted to a position matching the size of the electronic device 50. Then, the electronic device 50 is clamped in the clamping space 36 between the clamping end 335 of the clamping portion 33 and the top surface 325 of the carrying portion 32, and is abutted against the carrying portion abutting end 3251. Because the clamping portion 33 is opened at a certain angle relative to the bearing portion 32, the clamping portion 33 drives the elastic member 323 in the bearing portion 32 to deform, the elastic member 323 further generates a restoring force to act on the clamping portion 33, and the clamping end 335 of the clamping portion 33 further presses against the electronic device 50 to prevent the electronic device 50 from sliding off.
