The two bodies 110a and 110b are pivotally connected to each other by the pivot structure 120 . The two functional components 130a and 130b are respectively arranged on the two bodies 110a and 110b. Specifically, the two linkage structures 140 are respectively connected between the pivot structure 120 and the corresponding functional components 130a and 130b. When the two bodies 110a, 110b are closed to each other, the two functional components 130a, 130b are suitable for stacking in parallel and there is an accommodating space S between the two functional components 130a, 130b.

Under the above configuration, the user can place the additional input/output device P (shown in FIG. 3A ) in the accommodating space S for easy portability. In this embodiment, the input/output device P (shown in FIG. 3A ) is, for example, a keyboard. In this way, the user does not need to carry the keyboard additionally, which is more convenient, and does not need to carry additional accessories (such as a bumper bag) for covering the keyboard, thereby reducing the quantity and weight of the items carried by the user. In other embodiments, the input/output device P (shown in FIG. 3A ) is, for example, a stylus, an earphone, a microphone or a touchpad, which is not limited in the present invention.

2A to 2D illustrate that the two bodies of FIG. 1 are reversed relative to each other. The two bodies 110a and 110b can be relatively flipped from the closed state shown in FIG. 1 to the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2A by the pivoting of the pivot structure 120 , and can be reversed from the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2A to the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2B . The flattened state shown in FIG. 2B can be relatively reversed from the flattened state shown in FIG. 2B to the folded state shown in FIG. 2C .

During the process of the two bodies 110a, 110b unfolding each other, at least one of the two linkage structures 140 is adapted to drive the corresponding functional component 130a (or the functional component 130b) to move relative to the corresponding body 110a (or the body 110b), wherein The functional component 130a (or the functional component 130b ) can slide and lift relative to the corresponding body 110a (or the body 110b ) so as to make the edges of the two functional components 130a and 130b abut against each other to cover the pivot structure 120 . Thereby, the aesthetics of the electronic device 100 is improved. In this embodiment, the two functional components 130a and 130b are, for example, display panels, so as to form a continuous display effect, as shown in FIG. 2B . In other embodiments, the two functional components 130a, 130b may be an output device (such as a display panel) and an input device (such as a keyboard or a touchpad), respectively, or may be other types of components, which is not the case in the present invention be restricted.

The two functional components 130 a and 130 b of the electronic device of the present embodiment move synchronously by the two linkage structures 140 and abut against each other. In other embodiments, the two functional components 130a, 130b are moved to specific positions, for example. Or asynchronous movement. Alternatively, only a single body includes a linkage structure to achieve the effect of moving a single functional component, which is not limited in the present invention.

FIG. 3A is a side view of the electronic device of FIG. 1 . FIG. 3B is a partial structural schematic diagram of the guide portion of FIG. 3A . In this embodiment, the pivot structure 120 is, for example, in the form of a double shaft, and the linkage structure 140 is also, for example, in the form of a double shaft. However, since the two interlocking structures 140 are actually the same, and the single interlocking structure 140 has two symmetrical first interlocking structures 140a and second interlocking structures 140b, the first interlocking structure 140a will be used as an example for description in the following.

The first linkage structure 140a includes a sliding member 145a and a guiding portion 146a. The sliding member 145a is fixed to the functional component 130a and is slidably disposed on the through groove T of the guide portion 146a. Here, the sliding member 145a is, for example, a latch, but not limited thereto. The through slot T includes a first inclined section 146a1, a second inclined section 146a2 and a horizontal section 146a3. The first inclined section 146a1, a horizontal section 146a3 and a second inclined section 146a2 are sequentially connected to each other in the first direction N1.

The first inclined section 146a1 in this embodiment has a first end E1 and a second end E2 opposite to each other. The second end E2 is closer to the pivot structure 120 than the first end E1 and farther from the outer surface 110a1 of the first body 110a than the first end E1. When the sliding member 145a slides along the first end E1 of the first inclined section 146a1 toward the second end E2, the sliding member 145a drives the functional component 130a to slide and lift relative to the body 110a (that is, away from the first body). 110a's outer surface 110a1).

The second inclined section 146a2 in this embodiment has a third end E3 and a fourth end E4 opposite to each other. The fourth end E4 is closer to the pivot structure 120 than the third end E3 and closer to the outer surface 110a1 of the first body 110a than the third end E3. During the sliding process of the sliding member 145a along the third end E3 of the second inclined section 146a2 toward the fourth end E4, the sliding member 145a drives the functional component 130a to slide and descend relative to the body 110a (that is, close to the first body). 110a's outer surface 110a1).

The horizontal section 146a3 of this embodiment is connected between the second end E2 and the third end E3, and is parallel to the two functional elements 130a, 130b. During the sliding process of the sliding member 145a along the horizontal section 146a3, the sliding member 145a drives the functional component 130a to slide horizontally relative to the body 110a.

As described above, the first inclined section 146a1 , the horizontal section 146a3 and the second inclined section 146a2 communicate with each other to form the through groove T on the guide portion 146a. During the sliding process of the sliding member 145a along the first inclined section 146a1, the horizontal section 146a3 and the second inclined section 146a2, the functional component 130a is perpendicular to the axial direction D1 of the pivot structure 120 and parallel to the functional component A first direction N1 of the display surface of 130a is close to or away from the pivot structure 120, and is raised or lowered relative to the body 110a along a second direction N2 perpendicular to the first direction N1 and perpendicular to the display surface of the functional component 130a.

In this embodiment, the first inclined section 146a1 and the second inclined section 146a2 are asymmetrically disposed at both ends of the horizontal section 146a3. The first inclined section 146a1 and the second inclined section 146a2 respectively have a first height H1 and a second height H2 in the second direction N2, wherein the first height H1 is greater than the second height H2. In other words, the first end E1 is closer to the outer surface 110a1 of the body 110a than the fourth end E4. When the two bodies 110a, 110b are closed to each other, the sliding member 145a is located at the first end E1. When the two bodies 110a, 110b are relatively unfolded to a unfolding angle α, the sliding member 145a is located at the fourth end E4. Therefore, when the two bodies 110a, 110b are closed to each other (the included angle is 0 degrees), the subsidence depth of the functional component 130a relative to the body 110a will be greater than when the two bodies 110a, 110b are unfolded to the unfolding angle α (for example, 180 degrees). , the subsidence depth of the functional component 130a relative to the body 110a.

In detail, when the electronic device 100 is in the accommodated state, there is a gap T1 between the inner side of the functional component 130a and the inner surface 110a2 of the body 110a. In this embodiment, the guide portions 146a and 146b have the same design, that is to say, when the electronic device 100 is in the storage state, the functional component 130b can also sink relative to the body 110b, so that the functional component 130b is There is a gap T2 between the inner side and the inner surface 110b2 of the body 110b. The height T3 of the accommodating space S is approximately equal to the sum of the interval T1, the interval T2 and the gaps between the inner surfaces 110a2, 110b2 of the two bodies 110a, 110b.

In other embodiments, the guide portions 146a and 146b can be designed in different ways, so as to achieve the effect of sinking the unilateral functional components relative to the corresponding body. By changing the extending manner of the through slot T, the lifting timing and lifting height of the two functional components 130a and 130b can be changed accordingly, which is not limited in the present invention.
