In this way, these connecting pieces 1542 can be pivotally connected in series in pairs.

In addition, since the pivot structure 1544 is located close to the lower edge of the connecting member 1542, this connection mode can limit the overall deformation mode of the structure string 154. That is, the restriction structure string 154 relative to the second component 140 is transformed between a horizontal state and an upwardly arched state.

The aforementioned method of connecting the pivotal structure 1544 with the columnar bump 1546 is only an embodiment of this case. This case is not limited to this. Any connection method that can cause rotation between adjacent connecting members 1542 can be applied to this case.

The cam structure 322 will rotate with the rotating part 320, that is, it will rotate with the second body 200.

The cam structure 322 is used to abut against the rotating member 156 to drive the rotating member 156 to rotate. Since the cam structure 322 rotates along with the rotating part 320, when the second body 200 is opened relative to the first body 100, the cam structure 322 rotates at the same time to drive the rotating member 156 to rotate in a direction away from the second component 140, thereby causing the structure string 154 is arched upward relative to the second assembly 140, so that the first body 100 is changed from the original horizontal structure (as shown in the third A) to an arcuate structure (as shown in the third B).

In one embodiment, the pivoting position of the rotating member 156 and the second assembly 140 is located on the side of the rotating shaft 300 facing the first assembly 120, and the rotating member 156 has an abutting portion 1562 at a position corresponding to the cam structure 322 . The abutting portion 1562 extends below the cam structure 322. When the rotating portion 320 rotates, the cam structure 322 will push the abutting portion 1562 downward to move the first end 156a of the rotating member 156 upward, thereby causing the first body 100 to change from the original horizontal structure (as shown in Figure 3A). Show) change to a bow-shaped structure (as shown in the third B).

In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, by adjusting the abutting structure between the cam structure 322 and the abutting portion 1562, the cam structure 322 can be designed to open the second body 200 relative to the first body 100 by 90 degrees. Make the rotating member 156 reach the maximum angle of rotation, so that the first body 100 exhibits an arcuate structure as shown in the second figure; when the opening angle of the second body 200 relative to the first body 100 exceeds 90 degrees, the rotation is The moving member 156 is maintained at this maximum rotation angle.

The keyboard module 160 is disposed on a side of the first component 120 close to the serial connection structure 150 and includes a plurality of keyboard units 162. In one embodiment, the keyboard units 162 can change their positions as the second body 200 opens and closes relative to the first body 100. This linkage mechanism will be described in more detail in the subsequent paragraphs corresponding to Figures 6A to 6D.

Please refer to drawings 6A to 6D together, where drawings 6A and 6B are enlarged schematic diagrams of the keyboard unit and its surrounding structure in drawing 3A, and the difference between drawing 6B and drawing 6A is , Figure 6B hides the base 161 in Figure 6A to show the connecting rod 163 between the base 161 and the keyboard unit 162; Figures 6C and 6D are the keyboard unit and its An enlarged schematic diagram of the surrounding structure. The difference between the sixth D and the sixth C is that the sixth D hides the base 161 in the sixth C to show the connecting rod 163 between the base 161 and the keyboard unit 162.

As shown in the figure, the keyboard module 160 includes a base 161, a plurality of keyboard units 162 (six keyboard units 162 are taken as an example in the figure to illustrate the present case), and a connecting rod 163. Each keyboard unit 162 can be provided with multiple keys, such as the same row of keys on the keyboard module 160. The base 161 is fixed to the first assembly 120. The keyboard units 162 are pivotally connected to the base 161 side by side. Each keyboard unit 162 can be provided with multiple keys (not shown). The connecting rod 163 is connected to the keyboard units 162 to drive the keyboard units 162 to rotate synchronously with respect to the base 161.

In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first side 142 of the second assembly 140 has a cam 143. When the second body 200 is opened upward relative to the first body 100, the rotating member 156 will lift the first component 120 toward one side of the rotating shaft 300, causing relative rotation between the cam 143 and the first component 120, thereby driving the connecting rod 163 moves to make these keyboard units 162 rotate synchronously. But it is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the rotating member 156 can drive the multiple keyboard units 162 of the keyboard module 160 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod 163.

At this time, driven by the second assembly 140 or the rotating member 156, the multiple keyboard units 162 of the keyboard module 160 will rotate synchronously to present a scaly structure. The scaly structure is configured to maintain the horizontal state of the key cover of the keyboard unit 162 when the keyboard module 160 is lifted up, so as to facilitate the operation of the user. In addition, the scaly structure also helps to increase the area of the heat dissipation openings and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2A, the first body 100 may include a heat dissipation module 180 disposed between the structure string 154 and the second component 140. When the second body 200 is opened upward relative to the first body 100, the series connection structure 150 will arch upwards relative to the second component 140 to form an additional heat dissipation space and a heat dissipation area between the series connection structure 150 and the second component 140, so as to Improve heat dissipation efficiency. In one embodiment, the heat dissipation module 180 may be a heat dissipation channel, a heat dissipation fan, a heat dissipation fin, a heat dissipation tube group, or a combination thereof.

The first body 100 of this case has a series connection structure 150, and the series connection structure is driven by the cam structure 322 of the rotating shaft 300 to arch upward when the second body 200 is opened. In this way, the keyboard module 160 can be raised, and the problem that the keyboard module 160 is set at a too low angle can be solved. Secondly, the upwardly arched series connection structure 150 can generate additional heat dissipation space and heat dissipation area between the series connection structure 150 and the second component 140 to improve heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, in some embodiments of the present case, when the second body 200 is opened upward relative to the first body 100, each keyboard unit 162 of the keyboard module 160 can be synchronously driven to rotate, so that the key cover of the keyboard unit 162 is kept horizontal, which is convenient for use.
