The button 130B on the other side and the first magnetic member 140B also have the same members and arrangement relationship, and will not be described again.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 again, in general, when the button 130A is switched from the state of being extended to the body 110 to the state of being immersed in the body 110 (from FIG. 3 to FIG. 4), the first magnetic member 140A will A magnetic repulsion force is generated corresponding to the second magnetic member 150 to drive the bracket 120 to be unfolded relative to the body 110. When the bracket 120 is closed by the external force to the body 110, the second magnetic member 150 is generated corresponding to the first magnetic member 140A. The magnetic repulsion is extended by the drive button 130A to the body 110 (from FIG. 4 to FIG. 3).

Here, the arrangement axial direction of the first magnetic pole A1, the second magnetic pole A2, and the fourth magnetic pole A4 is orthogonal to the arrangement axial direction of the third magnetic pole A3 and the fourth magnetic pole A4, that is, orthogonal to the display plane S1.

Then, when the portable electronic device 10 is to be switched from the state of FIG. 2 to the state of FIG. 1, the user only needs to hold the body 110 (for example, the left and right hands of the user are divided into the left and right sides of the body 110 shown in FIG. 2). The button 130A, 130B is biased to the platform so that the buttons 130A, 130B are forced into the body 110, and the state of the button 130A, 130B is switched to the state of FIG. And moving the first magnetic pole A1 of the first magnetic member 140A from the position corresponding to the fourth magnetic pole A4 to the position corresponding to the third magnetic pole A3, that is, the first magnetic member 140A is moved from the second position to the first position, thereby further The magnetic repulsion is generated, so that the bottom rod 122 can be moved away from the body 110, that is, the bracket 120 is pivoted relative to the body 110. Accordingly, the portable electronic device 10 can be supported as shown in FIG. 1 to support the body 110 on the platform by the bracket 120.

Meanwhile, the keyboard 200 of the embodiment includes an input portion 220 and a magnetic attraction portion 210. When the user brings the magnetic attraction portion 210 of the keyboard 200 close to the bottom portion 114 of the body 110, the magnetic properties of the magnetic attraction portion 210 are as shown in FIG. The unit 230 generates a magnetic attraction corresponding to the second magnetic pole A2 of the first magnetic member 140A to allow the keyboard 200 to be attracted to the bottom portion 114 of the body 110 via the magnetic attraction portion 210.

When the third magnetic pole A3 is supported by the user, the position of the body 110 is closed to the position of the body 110 to correspond to the first magnetic pole A1, and the magnetic repulsion force corresponding to the first magnetic pole A1 is used to drive the button. The 130A moves to protrude from the body 110. At the same time, since the magnetic attraction force generated by the second magnetic pole A2 and the magnetic unit 230 is smaller than the magnetic repulsion force generated by the first magnetic pole A1 and the third magnetic pole A3, the movement of the bracket 120 to the body 110 can smoothly make the button 130A. The magnetic effect of the keyboard 200 is released, and the button 130A is restored to the state shown in FIG. 3, and the keyboard 200 can be smoothly removed from the body 110 at this time.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, in the embodiment, the portable electronic device 10 further includes a plurality of third magnetic members 160 arranged at the bottom portion 114 of the body 110 and located between the pair of buttons 130A, 140A (also equivalent Between the pair of first magnetic members 140A, 140B, the plurality of third magnetic members 160 are configured to generate magnetic attraction corresponding to the magnetic portion 210 of the keyboard 200 to improve the relationship between the keyboard 200 and the body 110.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the electrical connection relationship of some components in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 , the portable electronic device of the embodiment replaces the physical button 130A of the foregoing embodiment with the electromagnet unit 310, that is, the embodiment is borrowed. The magnetic force generated by the electromagnet unit 310 is driven to move the first magnetic member 340 in the accommodating space 112 in the body 110, and the movement mode of the first magnetic member 340 is in the first position as in the foregoing embodiment. Switching between the second position and the second position can also achieve the effect of opening or absorbing/desorbing the keyboard 200 as described above.

Furthermore, the first magnetic member 340 has the fifth electrode A5 and the sixth electrode A6 which are magnetically opposite to each other, and the electromagnet unit 310 corresponds to only one of them (the corresponding fifth electrode A5 is shown here, but not This is limited). In addition, as shown in FIG. 7 , the control component 170 is electrically connected to the electromagnet unit 310 to achieve the purpose of driving the electromagnet unit 310 . Meanwhile, the portable electronic device of the embodiment is electrically connected to the control component through the operation interface 180 . 170, and allows the user to control the electromagnet unit 310 using the operation interface 180 (including the physical, virtual operating device) to achieve the effect of structurally driving the bracket 150 or the keyboard 210.
