The first rotating shaft structure 400 is disposed between the first body 100 and the second body 200, and connects the first body 100 and the second body 200, so that the second body 200 can rotate relative to the first body 100. In other words, the second body 200 is pivotally connected to the first body 100 through the first hinge structure 400. The rotation angle of the first shaft structure 400 is not limited, and in one embodiment, the maximum rotation angle is 135 degrees and 180 degrees, so as to implement the various operation modes shown in fig. 1A to 1E, which will be described in detail in the following paragraphs.
The second hinge structure 500 is disposed between the second body 200 and the third body 300, and connects the second body 200 and the third body 300, so that the third body 300 can rotate relative to the second body 200. In other words, the third body 300 is pivotally connected to the second body 200 through the second hinge structure 500. In an embodiment, the maximum rotation angle of the second shaft structure 500 is 180-270 degrees, so as to realize various operation modes shown in fig. 1A to 1E, which will be described in the following paragraphs.
In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the first rotation axis structure 400 and the rotation axis of the second rotation axis structure 500 are parallel to each other, and the extension directions of the rotation axis of the first rotation axis structure 400 and the rotation axis of the second rotation axis structure 500 are both parallel to the long side direction of each machine body 100,200,300, and each machine body 100,200,300 rotates relatively in the longitudinal direction.
As shown in fig. 1A, in the tablet mode, the first front surface 120 of the first body 100 is rotatably covered on the second front surface 220 of the second body 200 through the first rotating shaft structure 400, and the second back surface 240 of the second body 200 is rotatably covered on the third back surface 340 of the third body 300 through the second rotating shaft structure 500. Thus, the second body 200 and the third body 300 can be sequentially overlapped on the first body 100, so as to be convenient for a user to carry. In addition, in this mode, the second screen 360 can be moved to the top of the whole electronic device 10, so that the user can operate the electronic device 10 as a tablet computer.
If the tablet mode shown in fig. 1A is switched to the power-on mode shown in fig. 1B, the second body 200 and the third body 300 are turned upwards by an angle a1 relative to the first body 100 through the first hinge structure 400, and the keyboard 160 on the first front surface 120 is displayed, so that the electronic device 10 can be converted into a notebook computer for operation.
In the power mode, the third body 300 can be stacked behind the second body 200, that is, the second back surface 240 of the second body 200 covers the third back surface 340 of the third body 300.
