When the support 115 moves in the third direction 43 and comes out of the groove 116 , the groove 116 no longer restricts the rotation of the support 115 . For example, the groove 116 may include a seating surface recessed from the side surface of the camera housing 111 and a wall surface 460 extending from the boundary of the seating surface to the side surface 123 of the camera housing 111 . In a state in which the support 115 is seated in the groove 116 , the support 115 may be surrounded by the wall surface 460 of the groove 116 .

5 illustrates the electronic device 10 in a state in which the entire sub-device 110 is inserted into the storage space 135 of the main device 100 according to an embodiment.

In order for the sub-device 110 in the stored/pop-up state to maintain the stored/pop-up state, a means for preventing the sub-device 110 from moving with respect to the main device 100 is required. If the sub device 110 can move freely within the main device 100 , there is a risk that the sub device 110 is easily separated from the main device 100 and is lost. For example, when the electronic device 10 is in a posture in which the first direction 51 is in the same direction as gravity, there is a risk that the sub-device 110 in the stored or pop-up state may easily fall out from the main device 100 by gravity. There is this.

Since the second magnetic member 520 pulls the first magnetic member 510 , that is, the sub-device 110 in the second direction 52 , even when a force in the first direction 51 acts on the sub-device 110 . The sub device 110 may maintain a stored/pop-up state. If the force in the first direction 51 acting on the sub-device 110 is greater than the force in the second direction 52 acting on the sub-device 110 due to the magnetic members 510 and 520 , the sub-device 110 . may move in the first direction 51 .

In an embodiment, the sub-device 110 may be separated from the main device 100 only when a certain amount of force is applied to the sub-device 110 in the pop-up state. In an embodiment, as the sub device 110 moves in the first direction 51 , the distance between the magnetic members 510 and 520 increases, and the magnetic force between the magnetic members 510 and 520 decreases. Therefore, the force required to move the sub-device 110 further from the main device 100 in a state in which the sub-device 110 in the pop-up state moves a predetermined distance in the first direction 51 is It may be smaller than the force required to initially move the sub device 110 in the first direction 51 from the main device 100 .

In an embodiment, the main device 100 of the electronic device 10 may include a mechanism 530 capable of popping up the sub-device 110 in the stored state.

After the sub device 110 moves a first distance in the second direction 52 , when the external force in the second direction 52 acting on the sub device 110 is released, the sub device 110 moves in the first direction 51 . ) may move in the first direction 51 by a second distance longer than the first distance. The sub device 110 may protrude from the main device 100 by the difference between the second distance and the first distance. In an embodiment, the first camera 112 may be positioned at a portion protruding from the main device 100 . In an embodiment, when an external force in the second direction 52 acts on the sub-device 110 in the pop-up state, the sub-device 110 may be accommodated again in the main device 100 .

In an embodiment, the pop-up of the sub device 110 may be implemented by a magnetic force between the second magnetic member 520 and the first magnetic member 510 . In an embodiment, the second magnetic member 520 included in the main device 100 may be an electromagnet. The electromagnet may include a coil, and a magnetic field may be formed by the electromagnet depending on whether current flows through the coil.

In an embodiment, the direction of the magnetic field by the second magnetic member 520 in the state in which the sub device 110 is accommodated in the main device 100 may be different from the direction of the magnetic field in the state in which the sub device 110 is popped up. have. When the direction of the magnetic field by the second magnetic member 520 is changed, the direction of the magnetic force between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 included in the sub device 110 may also be changed. In an embodiment, an attractive force may act between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 in a state in which the sub device 110 is accommodated. A repulsive force may act between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 at a moment when the direction of the current flowing through the second magnetic member 520 is changed. As the direction of the current changes, the second magnetic member 520 may push the first magnetic member 510 , that is, the sub-device 110 in the first direction 51 . When the sub-device 110 moves a predetermined distance in the first direction 51 to enter the pop-up state, the positional relationship between the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 changes, and as a result, the first magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 change. An attractive force may act between the magnetic member 510 and the second magnetic member 520 . Due to the attractive force between the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member 510 , the sub device 110 no longer moves in the first direction 51 , and the user moves the sub device 110 away from the main device 100 . Unless unplugged, the sub device 110 may maintain a pop-up state. In an embodiment, the electronic device 10 may change the polarity of the second magnetic member 520 again to change the state of the sub device 110 from the pop-up state to the stored state.
