Abstract

The disclosure discloses an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first enclosure, a second enclosure, a plurality of components, a rotating shaft assembly, and at least one drive member. The components are disposed on the second enclosure. The rotating shaft assembly is disposed in the second enclosure and is connected to the first enclosure. The drive member is connected to the rotating shaft assembly. When the first enclosure is opened relative to the second enclosure, the rotating shaft assembly drives the drive member to push the components, to enable the components to move away from the rotating shaft assembly.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first enclosure;
a second enclosure;
a first component and a second component, disposed on the second enclosure and configured to cover two opposite sides of the second enclosure respectively;
a rotating shaft assembly, disposed in the second enclosure and connected to the first enclosure; and
a drive member, connected to the rotating shaft assembly, wherein the drive member is rotatable and is slidably connected to the first component and the second component, when the first enclosure is opened relative to the second enclosure, the rotating shaft assembly drives the drive member to push the first component and the second component, to enable the first component and the second component to move away from the rotating shaft assembly.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating shaft assembly comprises a plurality of gears sequentially engaged, and the first enclosure and the drive member are each connected to different gears of the gears.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the drive member has two extended portions, and the extended portions are each configured to push the first component and the second component.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the extended portions each extend along two directions, and an angle between the directions is an obtuse angle.

5. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein there is a plurality of drive members, and the drive members are each connected to different gears of the gears, and are each configured to push the first component and the second component.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first component and the second component comprises a sliding table having a guiding sliding slot, and the drive member has a slider slidably connected to the guiding sliding slot.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the sliding table has a bottom surface located on a side of the sliding table, and the side of the sliding table is away from the second component, and a direction along which the guiding sliding slot extends is inclined relative to the bottom surface.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the guiding sliding slot has a straight segment and a curved segment connected to each other.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first component and the second component are pivotally connected to the second enclosure.
