The locking member 234b is slidably disposed on the handle 220 along a third direction D3 perpendicular to the first direction D1' and adapted to lock the releasing member 234a. The locking member 234b is, for example, used to stop the releasing member 234a by its stop portion 234b 1. The specific manner of 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 first, so that the locking member 234b moves from the position shown in fig. 11 to the position shown in fig. 12 along the third direction D3, and at this time, the stop 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 234b. Then, the user can press the release member 234a to move the release member 234a from the position shown in fig. 13 and 15 along the first direction D1' to the position shown in fig. 14 and 16, and 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 along a second direction D2' perpendicular to the first direction D1' to the position shown in fig. 14 and 16, so that the engaging portion 232a of the positioning member 232 is separated from the rotating shaft 212 of the device main body 210. The guiding surface 232a of the positioning member 232 is, for example, an inclined surface that is 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, the handle 220 is not limited to be rotatable relative to the apparatus main body 210 by the positioning member 232, so that the user can apply a force to the handle 220 to rotate the handle 120 from the position shown in fig. 9 to the position shown in fig. 10 relative to the apparatus main body 210.
In the present embodiment, the positioning mechanism 230 may include a resilient 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 member 234a, the release member 234a and the positioning member 232 are returned 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 member, so that the engaging portion 232a of the positioning member 232 is engaged with the rotation shaft 212 of the apparatus 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 hand-holding and stable hand-holding, respectively. When the electronic device is placed on the desktop, even if the handle is positioned between the desktop and the electronic device, the handle is not an existing soft cloth fixing band, so that the electronic device cannot shake during input operations such as typing or touch control caused by instability of the electronic device.
Although the invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but rather may be modified or altered somewhat by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
