Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly to a cleaning device that can be housed in an electronic device. [Prior Art] To clean dust on the surface of a computer device There are many different cleaning tools on the market, and the cleaning brush is one of them. The cleaning brush designed for the portable electric brain has been designed to be mostly pocket-sized, but it is usually carried independently of the portable computer, but when the user temporarily needs to use a cleaning brush to clean it, I forgot to carry it with the portable computer, the cleaning brush still can't play its function, and the user still has troubles in use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning device that can be housed in an electronic device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a non-functional component on an electronic device, such as a Dummy Card that is inserted into an external card slot of a portable computer device to prevent dust from entering. The improvement is such that it directly forms a cleaning device and has a cleaning function; since it is provided on the electronic device in a normal state, the user does not have the trouble of extra carrying, and is more convenient to use. According to the above object of the present invention, a cleaning device is adapted to be inserted into an external card slot of an electronic device for storage. The cleaning device comprises a body 3 1357833 and a cleaning brush. A body has a size that can be inserted into an external card slot. β • A cleaning brush is attached to the body. -. It can be seen from the above that the cleaning device of the present invention is stored in a slot of an external card of an electronic device, and is carried along with the electronic device, so that the user can obtain an appropriate time from the slot of the external card when the user wants to clean the electronic device. cleaning tools. [Embodiment] Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a state in which the bristles of a cleaning device are stored in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a view showing the state in which the bristles of the cleaning device of Fig. i are extended. The cleaning device 1 of the present invention is inserted into the external card slot 200a of an electronic device 200 when not in use (refer to FIG. 8), so that it can be carried along with the electronic device 2 without requiring another Carry 'to increase the convenience of the cleaning brush storage. The cleaning device 1 includes a body 102 and a cleaning brush 1〇4. The body 102 can be any item having the size that can be inserted into the external card slot 200a. Taking the electronic device 200 as a notebook computer as an example, the body 102 can be an empty card of a notebook external card. After the main body 102 is taken out from the external card slot 200a (for example, the slot of the Express Card interface), the external card slot 200a can be inserted into a desired external card (such as an external card of the Express Card interface) to perform the required The function. In the present embodiment, the cleaning brush 104 is composed of the bristles 104a and the brush holder 104b. The brush handle l〇4b is slidably coupled to the opposite inner wall surface of the recess 102a of the body 102 with its lateral protrusions 〇4d, so that the cleaning brush 104 can slide relative to the body 102, and selectively allows the bristles The port 4a is housed in the main body 102 (see Fig. 1) or extends outside the main body 1〇2 4 1357833 (see Fig. 2). When the bristles 4a project out of the body 102, the user is used to clean the electronic device 200. When the bristles 104a are housed in the body 102 and then inserted into the external card slot 200a, the chance of damage to the bristles 1 〇 2b can be reduced. Referring to Figure 3, a cleaning apparatus in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The cleaning device can also be directly mounted on the body 1〇2 having the shape of the external card. The body 1〇2 is a brush handle. In this embodiment, the cleaning device can be attached with a cover 1 〇 6 for protecting the bristles. ^ 021 ^ but the cover ι 〇 6 is not necessary. ′ When the cleaning device is inserted into the slot, the chance of damage to the bristles 102b is reduced. When the cover body 1〇6 is fitted to the body 1〇2, the bristles 102b are accommodated inside the housing 1〇6 of the cover body 1〇, and are protected. The body 102 is further provided with a positioning member 1 () 2f. When the cleaning device is inserted into the slot, the positioning member 102f engages with the corresponding mechanism in the slot. Referring to Figure 4, a cleaning apparatus in accordance with still another preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The cleaning device can also be implemented as a clear (4) 1 () 4 stored in a body 1 〇 2 having an external card shape. In the present embodiment, the body 1〇2 has a recessed area l〇2d. When the cleaning brush 1〇4 is placed in the recessed area l〇2d, a convex face is arranged on the inner wall surface of the recessed area lG2d. The cleaning brush J 104 can be positioned to position the cleaning brush 1〇4b. Stored in the recessed area 1〇2d. When the cleaning brush 1〇4 is required, the user only needs to apply a little force to take out the cleaning brush 104 from the recessed area 1〇2d. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, there are shown two states of a cleaning apparatus in accordance with still another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning device can also be attached to the body 1〇2 with the shape of the external card. In this embodiment, the brush of the ice-cleaning brush 104 is pivotally connected to the body 1〇2 with the rotating shaft i〇4c, so that the cleaning brush 104 of the 5 1357833 can be rotated relative to the body 102 to selectively receive the brush. Status (refer to Figure 5) or use status (refer to Figure 6). When the cleaning device is in the storage state as shown in Fig. 5, the external card slot 2〇〇a: =^ is less likely to damage the bristles 102b. When the cleaning device is in the state of Fig. 6, the user is used to clean the electronic device 200. The brush holder 104b of the cleaning device in Fig. 5 is rotatable in the direction 11〇 to form a clear state of use in Fig. 6. Please refer to FIG. 7 , which shows a cleaning device with different body shapes. The upper body 〇2 in the above embodiment is shaped as an approximately rectangular Express Card, and this embodiment is an outer shape of another Express Card. This embodiment only exemplifies an example in which the bristles 4a are mounted on the body 1A. Other embodiments, such as those shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 5, can also be applied to the body ι3. Of course, the cleaning device of the present invention can also be applied to an empty card of an external card of any electronic device developed in the future. When the empty card of the main body or the external card is implemented in an electronic device of a different manufacturer, the positioning portion that can be engaged with the corresponding slot (for example, the positioning member l〇2f shown in FIG. 3) can be fixed. In the slot, this is a structure that can be designed by those skilled in the art. The positioning portion may be located on the top surface or side of the body (1〇2, 1〇3) or the brush holder 104b. Since the position or structure of the slot connecting mechanism of each electronic device is different, the positioning portion is also different. In the present embodiment, the details of the positioning portion are not more inked. The electronic device to which the present invention is applicable includes a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a desktop computer, a PDA, a mobile phone, a camera, or other portable electronic device or computer. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning device 6 1357833 of the present invention is disposed in a slot of an external card of an electronic device, and is carried along with the electronic device, so that the user can externally access the electronic device at any time. Get the appropriate cleaning tool in the card's slot. Although the present invention has been described above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
