The locking member 234b is slidably disposed on the handle 220 along a third direction D3 perpendicular to the first direction D1' and is adapted to lock the releasing member 234 a. The locking member 234b is, for example, stopped by the stopping portion 234b1 of the locking member 234b against the releasing member 234 a. The specific operation of the member is as follows.
When the user wants to change the handle 220 from the first state shown in fig. 9 to the second state shown in fig. 10, the locking member 234b is pushed to move the locking member 234b from the position shown in fig. 11 to the position shown in fig. 12 along the third direction D3, and the stopping portion 234b1 of the locking member 234b is separated from the releasing member 234a, so that the releasing member 234a is not locked by the locking member 234 b. Then, the user can press the release member 234a to move the release member 234a from the position shown in fig. 13 and 15 to the position shown in fig. 14 and 16 along the first direction D1 ', at which time the guiding surface 232b of the positioning member 232 is pushed by the release member 234a to move the positioning member 232 from the position shown in fig. 13 and 15 to the position shown in fig. 14 and 16 along a second direction D2 ' perpendicular to the first direction D1 ', so that the engaging portion 232a of the positioning member 232 is separated from the rotating shaft 212 of the device body 210. The guiding surface 232a of the positioning element 232 is, for example, a slope not parallel to the first direction D1 'and the second direction D2'.
After the engaging portion 232a of the positioning member 232 is separated from the rotating shaft 212 of the apparatus main body 210 as described above, since the handle 220 is no longer restricted by the positioning member 232 from rotating relative to the apparatus main body 210, the user can apply force to the handle 220 to rotate the handle 120 relative to the apparatus main body 210 from the position shown in fig. 9 to the position shown in fig. 10.
In the present embodiment, the positioning mechanism 230 may include an elastic member (not shown), such as a spring, connected between the positioning member 232 and the handle 220. When the user does not press the release piece 234a, the release piece 234a and the positioning piece 232 are reset from the positions shown in fig. 14 and 16 to the positions shown in fig. 13 and 15 by the elastic force of the elastic piece, so that the engaging portion 232a of the positioning piece 232 is engaged with the rotating shaft 212 of the device main body 210.
In summary, in the electronic device of the present invention, the handle can be connected to the device body in two states to provide the functions of carrying and stably holding.
