It should be noted that a movable element B and a door C are disposed on a surface S of the main body 22, wherein the door C is used for shielding a touch pen located inside the main body 22, and when a user presses the movable element B, the door C is triggered to open, so that the user can take out the touch pen conveniently.

Next, referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, wherein fig. 3 is a partial mechanical cross-sectional view of the body 22 after the housing is removed, and fig. 4 is a partial mechanical cross-sectional view of the body 22 when the housing is not removed. As shown in fig. 3, the movable element B and the door C are movably disposed on a carrier H inside the body 22, wherein the door C may be made of metal, and is pivotally connected to the carrier H, and a biasing element R1 (e.g., a tension spring) is connected to the door C and the carrier H.

On the other hand, the movable element B is slidably disposed on the carrier H and includes a button B1 and an extension B2, the button B1 is exposed on the surface S of the body 22, and a magnetic element M1 (e.g., a magnet) is disposed on the extension B2; it should be noted that, when the door C is located at a closed position relative to the carrier H, the extension B2 and the magnetic element M1 face the door C, wherein the magnetic element M1 and the door C are close to each other to generate a magnetic attraction force, so that the magnetic element M1 and the door C are attracted to each other by the magnetic attraction force to restrict the door C from being located at the closed position (as shown in fig. 3 and 4).

Next, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, wherein fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the movable element B in fig. 4 pressed by an external force, and fig. 6 is a schematic view illustrating the biasing assembly R1 providing a force to force the door C to rotate from the closed position to an open position. As shown by the arrow in fig. 5, when the stylus pen accommodated in the main body 22 is to be taken out, the user can apply an external force to press the button B1 of the movable element B, and at this time, the button B1 and the extension B2 are lowered from an initial position (fig. 3 and 4) to a first position (fig. 5) toward the inner side of the main body 22, so as to press another elastic element R2 (e.g., a compression spring) disposed between the button B1 and the carrier H.

In this state, since the magnetic element M1 is far away from the door C, the biasing element R1 provides a force to the door C, so that the door C rotates from the closed position to an open position (as shown in fig. 6) relative to the carrier H, and when the external force is released, the elastic element R2 can make the movable element B return to the initial position shown in fig. 3 and 4 by its elastic force, wherein the direction of the elastic force is opposite to the direction of the external force.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic view illustrating the door C rotating from the closed position to the open position. As shown in fig. 7, when the user presses the button portion B1 of the movable element B to rotate the door C to the open position, the stylus pen P accommodated in a groove V of the main body 22 is exposed for the user to take out and use, wherein the groove V is formed on the bearing member H.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9 together, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating the stylus pen P in fig. 7 taken out, and fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating the stylus pen P in fig. 7. As shown in fig. 8 and 9, a protruding structure V1 and two recessed structures V2 and V3 are formed inside the groove V, wherein the protruding structure V1 is located between the two recessed structures V2 and V3, when the stylus P is accommodated in the groove V, the stylus P abuts against the protruding structure V1, and the magnetic component M2 (e.g., a magnet) on the protruding structure V1 and another magnetic component M3 (e.g., a magnet) on the stylus P attract each other, so that the stylus P can be fixed in the groove V of the body 22.

Next, please refer to fig. 10 and fig. 11, in which fig. 10 illustrates a schematic diagram of the user pressing the tail of the stylus pen P to tilt the head of the stylus pen P, and fig. 11 illustrates a schematic diagram of the tail of the stylus pen P sinking towards the bottom side of the recessed structure V3 and the head of the stylus pen P tilting. In this embodiment, in order to allow the user to easily take the stylus P out of the groove V of the body 22, the user can press the tail of the stylus P to make the tail of the stylus P sink toward the bottom side of the concave structure V3, and at this time, the convex structure V1 can be used as a fulcrum, and the head of the stylus P is tilted by using the lever principle, so that the user can take the stylus P out of the head of the stylus P.

Similarly, as shown in fig. 12, the user can also press the head of the stylus P and make it sink toward the bottom side of the concave structure V2, at this time, the convex structure V1 can be used as a fulcrum, and the tail of the stylus P is tilted by the lever principle, so that the user can take the stylus P out of the groove V conveniently.

Next, referring to fig. 13 and 14, in which fig. 13 is a partially enlarged schematic view of the display unit in fig. 2 located at an expanded position relative to the main body 22, and fig. 14 is a partially enlarged schematic view of the display unit in fig. 2 located at a closed position relative to the main body 22.
