More T will be in the middle, the moving frame The second guides 242, 2, 240 of the 240 are thus added to the other end of the first guide rail 242, the second body, and the first body. The function of the semi-automatic sliding is shown in Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the moving frame in the electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 4, the difference from the above embodiment is In the present embodiment, the first rails 242b, 24 of the mobile rack 240a each have two turning portions B, C. Therefore, the two bodies of the electronic device slide by the first rails 242b, 242c. There are two stop positions in the stroke, which can be used to define the electronic device in a variety of different use states. For example, when the first body 210 stops at the turning portion B, the input module 228 of the second body 22〇 Only the multimedia control button is exposed. At this time, the electronic device 2 can be used as a multimedia player. When the first body 210 stops at the turning portion c, the input module 228 of the second body 220 can expose the complete QWERTY. Keyboard. At this point, the user can use this input module 22 8 Perform text input. In addition, the shape of the guides of the first guides 242b and 242c and the length of each section of the guide may be changed so that the electronic stroke has a non-sliding speed. The present invention (4) is not limited to 242b, 242c. The shape and length of the path. Referring to FIG. 1 and K3A_3D, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 200 further includes a flexible circuit 27〇 electrically connected to the first body 21〇 and the second body 220 for electronic signals. The flexible circuit 27 is disposed in the protective cover 26G '(4) to be damaged by external force. When the first body moves away from the second body 220 days, the mobile frame will drive the protection f 260 to move away from the second body 220' so that the protection i 260 can still protect the flexible, road 27G. Therefore, when the designer performs this electronic design, the length of the flexible line 27〇 can be increased to conform to the first body 201018355. 28497twf.doc/n 210 The length required to move away from the second body 22〇 without worrying about the releaseability of the line 270. Therefore, this action makes the first body training as far as possible from the second body 22 so that both bodies can have a larger available area. Based on the above, since the first guides 242, 242a on the moving frame 240 each have at least a turning portion A, when the first body 21 is opposed to the second body 22G, the relative position of each other and the lion speed can be added. The change causes the electronic device 200 to have more variations and functions. On the other hand, the electronic device 20A has a design of the protective cover 260, which can shield the potentially lucratic traceable line 270 when the electronic device 2GG is in the exhibition n, thereby providing perfect protection for the flexible line 27A. The effect is to help improve the reliability and appearance of the electronic device 200. In addition, since the protective cover 260 can provide a shielding effect on the flexible circuit 27, it is not necessary to worry about the exposure of the flexible body 270 caused by the over-expansion of the first body 21 and the second body 22 (). . Thus, in addition to helping to increase the usable area on the first body 210 and the second body 22, it provides better design flexibility. For example, the extent of expansion between the first body and the second body 220 is relatively large, so that the electronic device of the present invention can be used as the input module 228 to improve the operation convenience. Referring to the figure 丨, in the embodiment, the second body 220 has a receiving groove 222, at least one first recess 224 and a second recess 226. When the first body 21 is not moved away from the second body 220, the protective cover 260 is housed in the accommodating groove 222. The pivot 25 is fixed in the first recess 224. The second recessed portion 226 is for receiving the fixing frame 230. In this embodiment, the portion of the second body 22 is used as the accommodating holder 230, the protective cover 260, and the cymbal 250. The second body 22G slides on the second body 22G to reduce the space occupied by the fixing frame 230 and the pivot 250 during the operation, thereby making the electronic device 200 conform to the trend of thinning. In addition, referring again to FIG. 2, the mobile frame 24A further has an opening 246 at one end of the second guide rail 244. The flexible circuit 27 is electrically connected to the first body 21 and the second body (10) through the opening 246. Figure $ is an enlarged schematic view of a portion of the electronic device of Figure 1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, in the embodiment, the fixing frame 23 includes a first supporting member and two second supporting members 234 and 234a. The second support member 234 and the force are respectively locked to the first branch member 232, but the present invention does not limit the fixing frame 230 to be composed of a plurality of components. In another embodiment, not shown, the first support member 232 and the second support members 234, 234a can be integrally formed, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process of the holder 230, but also makes the electronic device 2 more lightweight. Further, the solid frame 230 has a bearing 236 pivotally connected to the pivot 250, so that the first body 210 can be rotated relative to the second body 220 by the bearing 236. In addition, the holder 230 also has two recesses 238, 239 which are respectively located at opposite sides of the holder 23''. The thin side edges of the moving frame are disposed in the grooves 238, 239 so that the moving frame 240 can slide along the grooves 238, 239. In the present embodiment, the electronic device 200 further includes two sliders 280, 8〇a and the solid frame 230 has two hollow slots 234b, 234c. The sliders 280, 28A are respectively slidably disposed in the hollow slots 23A, 234c. Slides 28〇, 28〇& 12 201018355

Each of the Ji-O-TW 28497twf.doc/n has a raised portion 282, 282a that is slidably disposed in the first guide rails 242, 242a. As the raised portions 282, 282a slide along the first guides 242, 242a, the sliders 280, 280a slide within the hollow slots 234b, 234c. In addition, the electronic device 2 of the present embodiment further includes at least one elastic member 290' and the sliders 280, 280a each have at least one of the rods 284, 284a. The elastic member 290 is sleeved on the rods 284, 284a. Referring again to FIG. 6, when the bosses 282, 282a are slid from a first position D to a second position E along the first rails 242, 242a, in addition to driving the sliders 28, 28 〇 & Sliding in the grooves 234b, 234c, the sliders 280, 280a also compress the elastic members 290 that are not caught on the rods 284, 284a. When the convex portions 282, 282a approach but do not pass over the turning portion A, the elastic member 290 drives the sliding members 280, 280a to move toward the elastic force of the releasing elastic member 290, even if the convex portions 282, 282a face the first position. D slides. Conversely, when the raised portions 282, 282a pass over the turning portion A, the elastic member 29 will drive the raised portions 282, 282a toward the second position e. Therefore, the elastic member 29 驱动 drives the first body 210 to slide relative to the second body 22 without the user continuously applying the force to the first body 210 to slide the first body 210 relative to the second body 220. Thereby, the convenience when the user opens or closes the electronic device 200 is increased. On the other hand, the electronic device 2 further includes two rollers 29A, 29B, which are respectively sleeved on the bosses 282'282a', and the rollers 290a, 290b contact the first rails 242, 242a. Rolling on the first rails 242, 242a by the rollers causes the bosses 282, 282a to slide along the first rails 242, 242a. In summary, in the electronic device of the present invention, the path of the guide rail is 13 201018355. i -OT W 28497twf. doc/n has at least one turning guide, and the original singulated sliding stroke is divided into multiple segments' The electronic device has the function of a semi-automatic slide. In addition, the body can also have different sliding speeds in the sliding stroke of each segment. In this way, the two bodies of the electronic device can be given different functions when they are in different relative positions. This has the disadvantage of the conventional slider type body having only a monotonous mode such as opening and closing, which makes the functions of the electronic device more diversified. ❹ Furthermore, when the two bodies slide against each other, the protective cover (7) is also moved at the same time. Therefore, the flexible circuit is in a state of being protected by the protective cover when the electronic device is opened or closed. Thereby, the two bodies can be separated from each other as much as possible to increase the clear area on both sides. - In addition, a portion of the space of one of the electronic devices can accommodate a solid or pivotal sliding and thermal mechanism so that the two bodies can slide in a flat manner with each other to make the electronic device of the present day (10) lighter and thinner. Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to be used in the context of any of the teachings of the invention, and in the spirit and scope of the present invention, it is possible to make some changes and refinements.
