Here, the guide member 144 has second protruding structures 144a, 144b slidably abutting against the first rail 142c, and thus reducing the contact area to facilitate sliding. Furthermore, the guiding member 144 further has a limiting piece 144c, 144d extending from the side of the second protruding structure 144a and facing each other, and the second protruding structure 144a abuts against the inner wall W1 of the first track 142c, The two raised structures 144b face away from the second raised structure 144a and abut against the inner wall W2 of the first track 142c (relative to the inner wall W1), and the limiting pieces 144c, 144d respectively contact the housing 142 in the first track The side walls W3, W4 beside the 142c are such that the guide member 144 can be confined to the first rail 142c, that is, the side walls W3, W4 of the housing 142 are substantially located between the limiting pieces 144c, 144d.

In addition, the guiding member 144 further has a limiting piece 144e extending from the side of the second protruding structure 144b, and the limiting piece 144e and the bracket 143 are opposed to each other across the second protruding structure 144b. Similar to the aforementioned limiting pieces 144c, 144d, the limiting piece 144e and the bracket 143 contact the side walls W5, W6 of the housing 142 located beside the first rail 142c to provide a limiting effect.

Referring to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C again, in the embodiment, the hinge member 140 further has a second rail 142d disposed on the housing 142, parallel to the first rail 142c, and the bracket 143 further has a stopper post 143b movable. The ground is coupled to the second track 142d. Here, the first rail 142c is an open rail, and the second rail 142d is a closed rail, so when the hinge member 140 and the first body 110 are relatively moved along the Y-axis, the bracket 143 and the guide 144 thereon Moving substantially along the first track 142c, and the stop post 143b moves substantially along the second track 142d, and since it is a closed structure, the stop post 143b interferes with the opposite ends of the second track 142d, thereby determining The corresponding position of the hinge member 140 relative to the first body 110.

4A to 4C are partial schematic views showing the electronic device of FIG. 1 in different states in a plan view. Referring to FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, in the embodiment, the electronic device 100 in the state shown in FIG. 1 is as shown in FIG. 4A, that is, based on the display plane 111, and the second body 120 and the hinge member 140 are in the original state. The dot position, that is, the above stopper post 143b interferes with one end of the second rail 142d. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the second body is bounded by the hinge member 140 and moved relative to the first body 110 along the Y axis to the protruding position, that is, the stopper post 143b is changed to interfere with the other end of the second rail 142d. The hinge member 140 and the second body 120 substantially protrude from the display plane 111. At this time, the second body 120 is adapted to be folded over the display plane 111 with respect to the rotation of the hinge member 140 to form a state as shown in FIG. 4C. Conversely, if the hinge member is not moved to the protruding position shown in FIG. 4B first, the second body 120 directly interferes with the first body 110 during the rotation of the second body 120 relative to the hinge member 140. The folded state shown in Fig. 4C cannot be successfully completed.

In summary, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a hinge member, and the speaker is disposed on the second body, and the hinge member is coupled to the first by the first track. The body is slidably coupled together, and the second body is pivotally connected to the hinge member. Accordingly, the hinge member provides the mechanism required for the second body and the speakers therein to move relative to the first body.

In the sliding process, the electronic device is slidably abutted against the track of the hinge member by the protruding structure of the guiding member, so that the guiding member can smoothly slide along the track by means of reducing the contact area. The relative sliding between the hinge member and the first body is completed.

During the pivoting process, the second body and the hinge member have a rotating shaft that can be coaxially nested with each other while being abutted between the rotating shafts by the washer, thereby providing the required torque during the pivoting process, that is, providing the second The support force required by the body after rotation. Furthermore, the rotating shaft also has a convex structure abutting against the gasket, so that the contact area can be reduced to improve the convenience in pivoting.

Based on the above mechanism, the second body and the speaker therein can be unfolded or folded on the first body by the hinge member as needed, thereby improving the mobility of the body of the electronic device to meet various usage requirements of the electronic device.
