As shown in fig. 1 to 10, a preferred device body 1 of the present application is provided with a linkage member 3 connected with a functional component, and the functional component is driven by the linkage member 3 to rotate so as to switch between a first state and a second state. Through setting up linkage 3, can make the user just can realize the switching of the first state and the second state of functional unit through operating linkage 3, can make the more convenient operation to functional unit of user, also avoided user and functional unit's direct contact simultaneously, prevented the emergence of maloperation, make electronic equipment's use reliability obtain further promotion. In addition, the device body 1 may not be provided with the link 3, but the functional component may be driven by the elastic member to automatically rotate, for example, when the functional component is in the second state, the functional component is kept in the second state under the blocking of the blocking member 2, in this state, the elastic member always applies an elastic force to the functional component, but the blocking force of the blocking member 2 overcomes the elastic force applied by the elastic member, when the functional component needs to be changed into the first state, the blocking member 2 releases the blocking of the functional component, and the functional component is driven by the elastic force to rotate and change into the first state.

Through setting up linkage 3, drive the conversion of functional component between first state and second state with the manual mode, for relying on complicated electromechanical device's such as step motor drive and realize the flexible mode of part among the prior art, the drive mode of this application does not have extra low power dissipation, does not have radio frequency interference.

As shown in fig. 3, it is preferable that the two linkage arms 6 have the same structure and are arranged in alignment, the functional component is located between the two linkage arms 6 when the functional component is in the second state, and the two linkage arms 6 are arranged to apply force to the two sides of the functional component at the same time, so that the stress of the functional component is more balanced, and the driving stability of the linkage member 3 is improved. In addition, the link 3 may also be in other structures and matching manners, for example, the link 3 is a lever, one end of the lever is a hinged end hinged to the functional component, and the other end of the lever is a stressed end bearing an acting force applied by a user, when the user presses the stressed end downwards, the hinged end moving upwards drives the functional component to rotate clockwise to change from the second state to the first state, and when the user lifts the stressed end upwards, the hinged end moving downwards drives the functional component to rotate counterclockwise to change from the first state to the second state.
