The positional relationship described in the following embodiments includes: the top, bottom, left and right, unless otherwise indicated, are based on the orientation of the elements in the drawings.

Please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 5. Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional view of an embodiment of an electronic device according to the present application; fig. 5 is a perspective assembly view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device of the present application includes a main body 10 and an adapter 20, wherein the adapter 20 has a connector 21, and when the adapter 20 is assembled to the main body 10, the connector 21 can be accommodated in the main body 10, or the connector 21 can be exposed to the main body 10 for transmitting power or information.

See fig. 2 and 6. Fig. 6 is a partially cut-away schematic view of an embodiment of a transition fitting of an electronic device according to the present application. Here, the body 10 has a first coupling portion 11 and a first coupling portion 13. The first coupling portion 11 is adjacent to the first coupling portion 13. The adaptor fitting 20 is detachably connected to the body and has a first face F1 and a second face F2, the first face F1 having the connector 21, and the second face F2 having the second coupling portion 23. When the first face F1 is connected to the body 10, the connector 21 is coupled to the first coupling portion 11, and when the second face F2 is connected to the body 10, the second coupling portion 23 is electrically connected to the first coupling portion 13.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, in an embodiment, the main body 10 is an electronic device with a charging requirement, such as but not limited to a touch pen or a presentation pen. In this embodiment, when the adaptor fitting 20 is assembled to the body 10 and the connector 21 of the adaptor fitting 20 is received in the body 10, a nip is formed between the adaptor fitting 20 and the body 10, so that the nip between the adaptor fitting 20 and the body 10 can be clamped on paper, books, pockets or other attachments to serve as a pen clip for fixing the body 10. In another use state, when the adaptor fitting 20 is assembled to the body 10 and the connector 21 of the adaptor fitting 20 is exposed to the body 10, the adaptor fitting 20 can be plugged into an electronic device having a corresponding connector socket to receive power of the electronic device to charge the body 10.

Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the body 10 is cylindrical and has a surface 14 and a second combining portion 12, the first combining portion 11 and the second combining portion 12 are both concave grooves relative to the surface 14, and the second combining portion 12 is connected to the first combining portion 11. Here, the step of the first combining part 11 with respect to the surface 14 has a first depth D1, and the step of the second combining part 12 with respect to the surface 14 has a second depth D2, and the first depth D1 is greater than the second depth D2.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the first coupling portion 11 of the embodiment is a groove into which the connector 21 of the adapter 20 can be inserted. The outer contour shape of the notch of the second connecting portion 12 is approximately equivalent to the outer contour of the second surface F2 of the adapter fitting 20, the area of the notch of the second connecting portion 12 is larger than that of the notch of the first connecting portion 11, and the notch of the first connecting portion 11 is located at the groove bottom of the second connecting portion 12, so that the first connecting portion 11 is overlapped and connected with the second connecting portion 12. In this way, the area required for disposing the first combining portion 11 and the second combining portion 12 on the surface of the body 10 for combining the connector 21 of the adapter fitting 20 and the second face F2 is minimized, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the body 10.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the first coupling portion 13 is disposed at the bottom of the groove of the second coupling portion 12. Herein, the first coupling portion 13 may be, but not limited to, a pogo pin connector, and the number of the first coupling portions 13 may be one or more as needed.

In one embodiment, the connector 21 of the adapter 20 can be any type of connector plug, such as but not limited to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector plug, a Micro USB connector plug, a MiniUSB connector plug, a Lightning connector plug, or a Thunderbolt connector plug. The USB connector plug can be a USB Type-A connector plug, a USB Type-B connector plug or a USB Type-C connector plug.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, adapter fitting 20 further includes a connecting segment 22. The second face F2 is part of the connecting segment 22, and the first face F1 and the second face F2 face in opposite directions. Here, the connecting section 22 is generally a sheet structure. Thus, the connecting section 22 and the connector 21 are located on opposite sides of the adapter fitting 20. Here, the second coupling portion 23 is disposed on the second face F2. Here, the second coupling portion 23 may be a pogo pin connector. Therefore, when the connector 21 of the adapter 20 is not used, the connector 21 of the adapter 20 is inserted into the first coupling portion 11 of the main body 10, the connector 21 is accommodated in the main body 10, and the connecting section 22 on the other side is located outside the main body 10 to be used as a pen clip.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment, an intermediate section 24 may be disposed between the connector 21 and the connecting section 22 of the adapter fitting 20, the first face F1 is a portion of the intermediate section 24, and the intermediate section 24 is connected between the connector 21 and the connecting section 22, so that a distance is maintained between the connector 21 and the connecting section 22. Therefore, when the connector 21 is inserted into the first combining part 11, a nip can be generated between the connecting section 22 and the body 10 and can be kept at a distance from the body 10, so that the adapter fitting 20 can be provided as a pen clip.

Referring to fig. 4 to 6, when the connector 21 of the adaptor fitting 20 is to be used, the adaptor fitting 20 is integrally rotated by 180 degrees, so that the adaptor fitting 20 is assembled to the body 10 in a direction that the connecting section 22 approaches the body 10. Here, the connecting section 22 of the adaptor fitting 20 can be received in the second combining portion 12 of the body 10, and the second coupling portion 23 can also contact and couple with the first coupling portion 13 on the second combining portion 12, so that the connector 21 can be plugged into other electronic devices capable of charging the body 10. Herein, in the process of assembling the connecting section 22 of the adaptor fitting 20 to the second combining portion 12 of the body 10, since the second combining portion 12 is a groove and the contour substantially corresponds to the outer contour of the connecting section 22, the second combining portion 12 of the body 10 has a guiding and positioning effect on the connecting section 22, and it is ensured that the connecting section 22 of the adaptor fitting 20 can be quickly assembled to be positioned and coupled with the first coupling portion 13.

In one embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the adaptor fitting 20 assembled to the body 10, a magnetic attraction force may be provided between the body 10 and the adaptor fitting 20. Specifically, the magnetic member may be embedded in the main body 10 adjacent to the first coupling portion 11 and the second coupling portion 12, and the entire adaptor fitting 20 may be made of a ferromagnetic material, or the ferromagnetic material or the magnetic member may be embedded in the main body adjacent to the connector 21 or the connecting section 22 of the adaptor fitting 20. Therefore, the adaptor fitting 20 is magnetically attracted and positioned when being assembled to the body 10, so as to increase the stability of assembling the adaptor fitting 20 to the body 10.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the second combining portion 12 of the body 10 may further have an inclined surface 121, and the inclined surface 121 is engaged with the first combining portion 11. And the appearance of the connecting section 22 of the adapter fitting 20 is also correspondingly provided with a bevel 221. Accordingly, when the connecting section 22 of the adaptor fitting 20 is accommodated in the second combining portion 12 and the adaptor fitting 20 is opposite to the

inclined surfaces

221 and 121 of the second combining portion 12, the

inclined surfaces

221 and 121 abut between the adaptor fitting 20 and the second combining portion 12, and the

inclined surfaces

221 and 121 between the adaptor fitting 20 and the second combining portion 12 enable the connecting section 22 of the adaptor fitting 20 to extend into the body 10, thereby further increasing the stability of the adaptor fitting 20 combined on the body 10.

Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment, the number of the first coupling portions 13 is plural, and the plural first coupling portions 13 are arranged side by side at intervals along the length direction of the body 10. The number of the second coupling parts 23 is plural, and the plural second coupling parts 23 are arranged side by side at intervals along the length direction of the adapter fitting 20. Here, the first coupling portion 13 may be disposed on the inclined surface 121 of the second coupling portion, and the second coupling portion 23 may be disposed on the inclined surface 221 of the connection section 22. Accordingly, the arrangement of the first coupling portion 13 and the second coupling portion 23 can reduce the space requirement on the length of the body 10 and the adaptor fitting 20 relative to the coplanar arrangement, so that the body 10 and the adaptor fitting 20 are more suitable for the miniaturized arrangement.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 3, in order to adapt the main body 10 to different charging modes, the main body 10 may further include a connector socket 15, and the connector socket 15 is disposed on the second combining portion 12.
