Fig. 1B is a front view of the electronic device in the first operation mode according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1C is a front view schematically illustrating the body of fig. 1B separated from the support plate. Referring to fig. 1A, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 100 may be a combination of a tablet computer and a protective cover, a combination of a tablet computer and an expansion base, or a combination of a tablet computer and a support frame, wherein the electronic device 100 includes a supporting plate 110 and a body 120, wherein the supporting plate 110 may be a portion of a protective cover, an expansion base, or a supporting base and is configured to support the body 120.

The body 120 may be a tablet computer or other portable device, wherein the position or the placement direction of the body 120 on the supporting plate 110 can be adjusted according to the needs of the user, so as to obtain different operation modes. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 employs a magnetic positioning mechanism, and when the position or the placing direction of the body 120 on the supporting plate 110 is adjusted, the body 120 can be positioned on the supporting plate 110 by the magnetic positioning mechanism, so that the body 120 does not slide or rotate relative to the supporting plate 110 arbitrarily, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the electronic device 100.

Referring to fig. 1A to 1C, the electronic device 100 is in the first operation mode, and the height of the body 120 from the desktop (not shown) is lower. In the present embodiment, the supporting plate 110 has a side 111 (e.g., a long side), and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 is disposed inside the supporting plate 110. On the other hand, the electronic device 100 further includes a first main positioning magnetic element 130 and a second main positioning magnetic element 131, wherein the first main positioning magnetic element 130 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131 are both disposed on the supporting plate 110, the first main positioning magnetic element 130 may be disposed inside the supporting plate 110, and at least a portion of the second main positioning magnetic element 131 may be exposed out of the supporting plate 110.

Further, the first main positioning magnetic element 130 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131 are arranged along a direction D1 perpendicular to the side 111, and the first main positioning magnetic element 130 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131 substantially fall on a center line of the side 111 of the supporting plate 110. The center point of the first positioning magnetic member 130 is separated from the side edge 111 by a first distance G1, and the center point of the second positioning magnetic member 131 is separated from the side edge 111 by a second distance G2. The first distance G1 is smaller than the second distance G2, so the first positioning magnetic element 130 is located between the side 111 and the second positioning magnetic element 131.

On the other hand, the body 120 has a first axis 121 and a second axis 122 intersecting the first axis 121, wherein the first axis 121 may be a center line passing through a short side of the body 120, the second axis 122 may be a center line passing through a long side of the body 120, and the first axis 121 and the second axis 122 may be perpendicular to each other. The main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 are disposed inside the machine body 120, wherein the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 is located at an intersection point CP of the first axis 121 and the second axis 122, and the intersection point CP may be a geometric center of the machine body 120.

In the first operation mode of the electronic device 100, the first axis 121 of the body 120 is parallel to the side 111 of the supporting plate 110, and the main and auxiliary magnetic members 123 are aligned (or overlapped) with the first main positioning magnetic member 130 and magnetically attracted to the first main positioning magnetic member 130, so as to position the body 120 on the supporting plate 110. On the other hand, the supporting plate 110 includes at least two supporting portions 113 adjacent to the side edge 111, wherein the number of the supporting portions 113 is at least two, and the supporting portions 113 are arranged along the direction D2 parallel to the side edge 111 and are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the first main positioning magnetic member 130.

When the first axis 121 of the body 120 is parallel to the side 111 of the supporting plate 110, and the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the body 120 is aligned with (or overlapped with) the first main positioning magnetic element 130 in the supporting plate 110, the body 120 abuts against the supporting portions 113. The main auxiliary magnetic element 123 cooperates with the first main positioning magnetic element 130 and the supporting portions 113 to generate at least three-point positioning for the body 120, so that the body 120 does not slide or rotate arbitrarily relative to the supporting plate 110, so that the electronic device 100 is stably maintained in the first operation mode. On the other hand, the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 aligned (or overlapped) with the first main positioning magnetic member 130 is also spaced apart from the side 111 by the first distance G1.

Referring to fig. 1A, the electronic device 100 further includes a bracket 140 and an input device 150, wherein the bracket 140 is connected to the supporting plate 110, and the bracket 140 and the body 120 are located at two opposite sides of the supporting plate 110. The support 140 can be unfolded relative to the support plate 110 or cover the support plate 110, and after the support 140 is unfolded relative to the support plate 110, the support 140 and the support plate 110 can jointly support the body 120. On the other hand, the input device 150 is connected to the side 111 of the supporting plate 110, and the bracket 140 and the input device 150 are located at two opposite sides of the supporting plate 110. The input device 150 can be unfolded relative to the supporting plate 110 or cover the supporting plate 110, and after the input device 150 is unfolded relative to the supporting plate 110, the input device 150 and the supporting plate 110 can jointly support the body 120. If the support 140 and the input device 150 are both unfolded relative to the support plate 110, the body 120 is supported by the support plate 110, the support 140 and the input device 150.

The input device 150 may include a touch pad and a keyboard set, or only a keyboard set, and can be electrically connected to the body 120. For example, the first main positioning magnetic element 130 in the supporting plate 110 and the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the body 120 may respectively integrate a wireless transmission function, and when the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the body 120 is aligned (or overlapped) with the first main positioning magnetic element 130 in the supporting plate 110, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the first main positioning magnetic element 130 may be coupled in a paired manner to transmit signals or power. On the other hand, the input device 150 is electrically connected to the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the supporting plate 110, so as to electrically connect to the body 120 through the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the first main positioning magnetic element 130. Specifically, in other embodiments, the electronic device may be provided with a stand, but not with an input device. Alternatively, the electronic device may be provided with an input device, but not with a stand.

Referring to fig. 1B and 1C, in the present embodiment, the first positioning magnetic structure 112 is spaced apart from the side 111 by a second distance G2, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 is located on the first axis 121. For example, the first positioning magnetic structure 112 may include a plurality of magnets arranged along the direction D2, wherein the first positioning magnetic structure 112 is symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the second main positioning magnetic member 131, and a connection line between the first positioning magnetic structure 112 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131 is substantially parallel to the side 111. On the other hand, the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 may include a plurality of magnets arranged along the first axis 121, wherein the first positioning magnetic structures 112 are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the main auxiliary magnetic element 123, and the number of the magnets of the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 is substantially the same as the number of the magnets of the first positioning magnetic structure 112.

If the body 120 shown in fig. 1B moves away from the supporting portion 113 along the direction D1, the second main positioning magnetic member 131 is located on the moving path of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123, and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 is located on the moving path of the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124.

Fig. 1D is a front view of the electronic device in the second operation mode according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1E is a front view of the body of fig. 1D separated from the support plate. Fig. 1F is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the electronic device of fig. 1D where the primary auxiliary magnetic element overlaps the second primary positioning magnetic element. Referring to fig. 1B, fig. 1D and fig. 1E, during the process that the body 120 shown in fig. 1B moves away from the supporting portion 113 along the direction D1, the main and auxiliary magnetic members 123 move away from the first main positioning magnetic member 130. Because the second main positioning magnetic member 131 is located on the moving path of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123, and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 is located on the moving path of the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124, once the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is aligned (or overlapped) with the second main positioning magnetic member 131, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 is aligned (or overlapped) with the first positioning magnetic structure 112, the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131 are magnetically attracted, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 are magnetically attracted.

At this time, the first axis 121 of the body 120 is still parallel to the side 111 of the supporting plate 110, but the body 120 is separated from the supporting portions 113. On the other hand, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 are both spaced apart from the side 111 by a second distance G2.

Specifically, because the first positioning magnetic structures 112 are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the second main positioning magnetic member 131, and the first auxiliary magnetic structures 124 are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123, under the condition that the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131 are magnetically attracted, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 are magnetically attracted, the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131 cooperate with each other, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 cooperate with each other to generate at least positioning for the body 120, so that the body 120 cannot slide or rotate relative to the supporting plate 110 at any three points, so that the electronic device 100 is stably maintained in the second operation mode.

For example, the second main positioning magnetic element 131 in the supporting plate 110 and the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the body 120 may respectively integrate a wireless transmission function, and when the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the body 120 is aligned (or overlapped) with the second main positioning magnetic element 131 in the supporting plate 110, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131 may be coupled in a matching manner to transmit signals or power. On the other hand, the input device 150 is electrically connected to the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the supporting plate 110, so as to be electrically connected to the body 120 through the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131.

Referring to fig. 1D to fig. 1F, in order to improve the operation stability and reliability of the electronic device 100 in the second operation mode, the second main positioning magnetic element 131 and the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 may be a concave-convex structure. Further, the supporting plate 110 has a receiving surface 114, and the second main positioning magnetic member 131 includes a positioning protrusion 131a protruding out of the receiving surface 114. On the other hand, the body 120 has a bearing surface 125 and a positioning recess 125a located on the bearing surface 125, wherein the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is located in the positioning recess 125 a. When the bearing surface 125 of the body 120 abuts against the bearing surface 114 of the supporting plate 110 and the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is aligned (or overlapped) with the second main positioning magnetic member 131, the positioning protrusion 131a is inserted into the positioning recess 125a to limit the freedom of movement of the body 120 relative to the supporting plate 110, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 are engaged to limit the freedom of movement of the body 120 relative to the supporting plate 110.

For example, the bearing surface 125 of the body 120 may be provided with a skin layer or coating to reduce friction when the bearing surface 125 of the body 120 slides or rotates on the bearing surface 114 of the support plate 110. Alternatively, the bearing surface 114 of the support plate 110 may be provided with a skin or coating to reduce friction when the bearing surface 125 of the body 120 slides or rotates on the bearing surface 114 of the support plate 110. Alternatively, the bearing surface 125 of the body 120 and the bearing surface 114 of the support plate 110 are both provided with a skin layer or coating.

Fig. 1G is a front view of the electronic device in the third operation mode according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1H is a front view of the body of fig. 1G separated from the support plate. Referring to fig. 1D, 1F, 1G and 1H, the positioning protrusion 131a can be used as a rotation fulcrum when the body 120 rotates relative to the support plate 110, and the body 120 in the second operation mode can rotate relative to the support plate 110 to switch to the third operation mode. Further, the body 120 has a plurality of corners 126, and a distance between any one of the corners 126 and the center point of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is smaller than the second distance G2, whereby the body 120 does not contact or collide with the input device 150 or the desktop (not shown) during the rotation of the body 120 relative to the support plate 110 through the cooperation of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131.

On the other hand, the inside of the body 120 is further provided with a second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 located on the second axis 122, and the inside of the supporting plate 110 is further provided with a second positioning magnetic structure 115. For example, the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 may include a plurality of magnets arranged along the second axis 122, and the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 is symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the main auxiliary magnetic element 123. On the other hand, the second positioning magnetic structure 115 is located between the first positioning magnetic structure 112 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131, the second positioning magnetic structure 115 may include a plurality of magnets arranged along the direction D2, wherein the second positioning magnetic structure 115 is symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the second main positioning magnetic member 131, and a connection line between the second positioning magnetic structure 115 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131 is substantially parallel to the side 111. The second positioning magnetic structure 115 is spaced apart from the side 111 by a second distance G2, and the number of magnets of the second positioning magnetic structure 115 is substantially the same as the number of magnets of the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127.

If the body 120 rotates relative to the supporting plate 110 through the cooperation of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 and the second main positioning magnetic member 131, the magnets of the second positioning magnetic structure 115 are located on the moving path of the magnets of the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127. Once the second axis 122 of the body 120 is parallel to the side 111 during the rotation of the body 120 relative to the supporting plate 110, the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 is aligned with (overlapped with) the second positioning magnetic structure 115 and magnetically attracted to the second positioning magnetic structure 115.

Under the condition that the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131 are magnetically attracted, and the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 and the second positioning magnetic structure 115 are magnetically attracted, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the second main positioning magnetic element 131 and the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 and the second positioning magnetic structure 115 cooperate to generate at least three-point positioning for the body 120, so that the body 120 does not slide or rotate arbitrarily relative to the supporting plate 110, so that the electronic device 100 is stably maintained in a third operation mode, wherein the cooperation of the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 and the second positioning magnetic structure 115 can be used to limit the degree of freedom of movement of the body 120 relative to the supporting plate 110. On the other hand, the body 120 in the third operation mode maintains a distance from the supporting parts 113.

Other embodiments will be listed below, and the differences between the embodiments will be mainly described in detail, and no repeated description is given to similar or identical structural configurations, design principles, or technical effects in these embodiments.

Fig. 2A is a schematic front view of an electronic device in a first operation mode according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2B is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the electronic device of fig. 2A where the main auxiliary magnetic element overlaps the main positioning magnetic element. Referring to fig. 2A and fig. 2B, the main difference between the electronic device 100A of the present embodiment and the electronic device 100 of the first embodiment is: the electronic device 100A includes only one main positioning magnetic element 130A, and the main positioning magnetic element 130A is slidable along a direction D1 perpendicular to the side 111. Further, the supporting plate 110a has a sliding slot 116 extending along the direction D1, and the main positioning magnetic member 130a is slidably disposed in the sliding slot 116. The sliding slot 116 has a first end 116a close to the side 111 and a second end 116b far from the side 111, and in the first operation mode, the main positioning magnetic member 130a is positioned at the first end 116a and is spaced apart from the side 111 by a first distance G1.

In this embodiment, the main positioning magnetic element 130a and the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 in the machine body 120 may be a concave-convex structure matched with each other. Further, the supporting plate 110a has a receiving surface 114, and the main positioning magnetic member 130a includes a positioning protrusion 1311a protruding out of the receiving surface 114. On the other hand, the body 120 has a bearing surface 125 and a positioning recess 125a located on the bearing surface 125, wherein the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is located in the positioning recess 125 a. When the bearing surface 125 of the body 120 abuts against the bearing surface 114 of the supporting plate 110a and the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is aligned with (or overlapped on) the main positioning magnetic member 130a, the positioning protrusion 1311a is inserted into the positioning recess 125 a. Therefore, the machine body 120 can slide on the supporting plate 110a along the direction D1 by the cooperation of the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 and the main positioning magnetic member 130 a.

In this embodiment, the electronic device 100A further includes a sliding member 160 and a side magnetic positioning member 170, wherein the sliding member 160 is slidably disposed in the supporting plate 110A, and the sliding member 160 includes a first sliding portion 161 located in the sliding slot 116 and a second sliding portion 162 located outside the sliding slot 116. The main positioning magnetic member 130a is disposed on the first sliding portion 161, and the side magnetic positioning member 170 is disposed on the second sliding portion 162. For example, the second sliding portion 162 includes two side wings, and the side wings are respectively located at two opposite sides of the first sliding portion 161. The number of the side magnetic positioning elements 170 is two, and the side magnetic positioning elements 170 are respectively disposed on the side wings of the second sliding portion 162, that is, each side wing is disposed with one side magnetic positioning element 170. Further, the side magnetic positioning pieces 170 and the main positioning magnetic pieces 130a are arranged along the direction D2, wherein the side magnetic positioning pieces 170 are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the sliding slot 116, and the main positioning magnetic pieces 130a are located between the side magnetic positioning pieces 170.

Fig. 2C is a front view of an electronic device in an inter-zone operation mode according to a second embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2D is a front view of the electronic device in the second operation mode according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2C and fig. 2D, in the present embodiment, the inside of the supporting plate 110a is further provided with a terminal magnetic positioning element 117 and a zone magnetic positioning element 118, wherein the terminal magnetic positioning element 117 is located beside the second end 116b of the sliding slot 116 and is separated from the side 111 by a second distance G2, and the zone magnetic positioning element 118 is located between the side 111 and the terminal magnetic positioning element 117. Further, the interval magnetic positioning element 118 is located beside the sliding slot 116 and spaced apart from the side 111 by a third distance G3, and the third distance G3 is smaller than the second distance G2 and larger than the first distance G1.

For example, the number of the end magnetic positioning members 117 is two, and the number of the interval magnetic positioning members 118 is two. The end magnetic positioning members 117 are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the sliding slot 116, and the interval magnetic positioning members 118 are symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the sliding slot 116. On either side of the sliding slot 116, the end magnetic positioning element 117 and the interval magnetic positioning element 118 are arranged along the direction D1, and the end magnetic positioning element 117 and the interval magnetic positioning element 118 are located on the moving path of the side magnetic positioning element 170.

If the electronic device 100A in the first operation mode is switched to the interval operation mode, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A are always aligned (or overlapped), the main body 120 and the sliding element 160 slide relative to the supporting plate 110A along the direction D1 and move away from the supporting portion 113, and the main positioning magnetic element 130A moves away from the first end 116a until each side magnetic positioning element 170 is aligned (overlapped) with the corresponding interval magnetic positioning element 118 and magnetically attracts the corresponding interval magnetic positioning element 118, and the main body 120 and the sliding element 160 stop sliding. At this time, the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is spaced apart from the side 111 by a third distance G3.

On the other hand, the inner portion of the supporting plate 110a is further provided with a middle positioning magnetic structure 119, and the middle positioning magnetic structure 119 is spaced apart from the side 111 by a third distance G3. For example, the middle positioning magnetic structure 119 may include a plurality of magnets arranged along the direction D2, wherein the middle positioning magnetic structure 119 is symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the sliding slot 116, the interval magnetic positioning members 118 are disposed between the middle positioning magnetic structures 119, and a connection line between the middle positioning magnetic structure 119 and the interval magnetic positioning members 118 is substantially parallel to the side 111.

During the process that the machine body 120 slides relative to the supporting plate 110a along the direction D1 and moves away from the supporting portion 113, the middle-stage positioning magnetic structure 119 is located on the moving path of the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124. Once the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 is aligned with (or overlapped with) the middle positioning magnetic structure 119, the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 is magnetically attracted to the middle positioning magnetic structure 119. At this time, the first axis 121 of the body 120 is still parallel to the side 111 of the supporting plate 110, but the body 120 is separated from the supporting portion 113. Under the condition that the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A are magnetically attracted, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the middle positioning magnetic structure 119 are magnetically attracted, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the middle positioning magnetic structure 119 cooperate to generate at least three-point positioning for the body 120, so that the body 120 does not slide or rotate arbitrarily relative to the supporting plate 110A, and the electronic device 100A is stably maintained in the interval operation mode, as shown in fig. 2C.

Referring to fig. 2C and fig. 2D, if the electronic device 100A in the interval operation mode is switched to the second operation mode, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A are always aligned (or overlapped), the body 120 and the sliding element 160 slide relative to the supporting plate 110A along the direction D1, each side magnetic positioning element 170 moves away from the corresponding interval magnetic positioning element 118 and moves to the corresponding end magnetic positioning element 117 until each side magnetic positioning element 170 is aligned (overlapped) with the corresponding end magnetic positioning element 117 and magnetically attracts the corresponding end magnetic positioning element 117, the main positioning magnetic element 130A moves to the second end 116b, and the body 120 and the sliding element 160 stop sliding. At this time, the main auxiliary magnetic member 123 is spaced apart from the side 111 by a second distance G2.

As mentioned above, once the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 is aligned with (or overlapped on) the first positioning magnetic structure 112, the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 are magnetically attracted. At this time, the first axis 121 of the body 120 is still parallel to the side 111 of the supporting plate 110a, but the body 120 is separated from the supporting portions 113. Under the condition that the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A are magnetically attracted, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 are magnetically attracted, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A are matched, and the first auxiliary magnetic structure 124 and the first positioning magnetic structure 112 are matched to generate at least three-point positioning on the body 120, so that the body 120 cannot slide or rotate arbitrarily relative to the supporting plate 110A, and the electronic device 100A is stably maintained in the second operation mode.

Fig. 2E is a front view of the electronic device in the third operation mode according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2D and fig. 2E, the main body 120 can rotate relative to the supporting plate 110a by the cooperation of the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130a, once the second axis 122 of the main body 120 is parallel to the side 111, the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 is aligned (overlapped) with the second positioning magnetic structure 115 and magnetically attracted to the second positioning magnetic structure 115. Under the condition that the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A are magnetically attracted, and the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 and the second positioning magnetic structure 115 are magnetically attracted, the main auxiliary magnetic element 123 and the main positioning magnetic element 130A and the second auxiliary magnetic structure 127 and the second positioning magnetic structure 115 cooperate to generate at least three-point positioning for the body 120, so that the body 120 does not slide or rotate arbitrarily relative to the supporting plate 110A, and the electronic device 100A is stably maintained in the third operation mode.

Specifically, in other embodiments, the magnetic positioning mechanism corresponding to the sector operation mode may be removed, i.e., the magnetic positioning element between the sector and the magnetic positioning structure between the middle segments are removed. Or, the number of the interval magnetic positioning pieces and the number of the middle section positioning magnetic structures are increased, so that the section operation mode has more positioning points.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of an electronic device according to a third embodiment of the invention. The body 120 is omitted from fig. 3 to clearly show the structural design of the support plate 110 b. Referring to fig. 3, different from the electronic device 100A of the second embodiment, the main positioning magnetic member 130B and the sliding slot 1161 on the supporting plate 110B of the electronic device 100B of the present embodiment use a snap-fit positioning mechanism, and there are no sliding member 160, the side magnetic positioning member 170, the end magnetic positioning member 117, and the interval magnetic positioning member 118 of the second embodiment.

Further, the main positioning magnetic member 130b has a first engaging portion 1311, and a plurality of second engaging portions 1162 are disposed in the sliding slot 1161. These second engaging portions 1162 are engaged with the first engaging portions 1311 and located on the moving path of the first engaging portions 1311. The second engaging portions 1162 and the first engaging portions 1311 may be a protrusion and a slot. For example, a portion of the second engaging portions 1162 is located at the first end 1161a of the chute 1161, another portion of the second engaging portions 1162 is located at the second end 1161b of the chute 1161, and another portion of the second engaging portions 1162 is located between the first end 1161a and the second end 1161 b. Therefore, the main positioning magnetic element 130b can be engaged with the different second engaging portion 1162 through the first engaging portion 1311 to be positioned at different positions of the chute 1161. In other embodiments, the second engaging portion is optionally not disposed between the first end and the second end of the sliding chute.

In summary, the electronic device of the present invention includes a body and a supporting plate for supporting the body, and a user can adjust a position or a placement direction of the body on the supporting plate according to a personal requirement, so as to obtain different operation modes. On the other hand, the electronic device of the invention adopts the magnetic attraction positioning mechanism, when the position or the placing direction of the machine body on the supporting plate is adjusted, the machine body can be positioned on the supporting plate through the magnetic attraction positioning mechanism, so that the machine body can not slide or rotate relative to the supporting plate arbitrarily, and the reliability of the electronic device is improved.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
