The cam abuts against the first end, and the second end is movably coupled to the cover plate.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first body, comprising a convection groove;
a second body;
a shaft, connected to the second body;
a cam, connected to the shaft and disposed in the first body, wherein the second body is pivoted to the first body through the shaft and the cam;
a cover plate, movably disposed on the first body and configured to operably hide the convection groove;
a fulcrum, disposed in the first body; and
a lever element, supported by the fulcrum and swingably disposed in the first body, wherein the lever element comprises a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end are respectively located at two opposite sides of the fulcrum, the cam abuts against the first end, and the second end is movably coupled to the cover plate;
wherein when the second body pivots on the first body, the cam rotating along with the second body drives the first end of the lever element to swing around the fulcrum, and the cover plate is driven by the second end of the lever element to move relative to the first body.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate comprises a pivot end, a motion end opposite to the pivot end and a coupling portion located between the pivot end and the motion end; the pivot end is pivoted to the first body; the second end comprises a chute; the coupling portion is slidably disposed in the chute; the pivot end and the fulcrum are respectively located at two opposite sides of the motion end; when the cam rotating along with the second body drives the first end of the lever element to swing around the fulcrum and the cover plate is driven by the second end to move relative to the first body, the pivot end serves as a rotating axis and the motion end rotates around the pivot end to rotate away from the first body so as to expose the convection groove or to rotate toward to the first body so as to hide the convection groove.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate comprises a pivot end, a motion end opposite to the pivot end and a chute located between the pivot end and the motion end; the pivot end is pivoted to the first body; the second end comprises a coupling portion; the coupling portion is slidably disposed in the chute; and the pivot end and the fulcrum are respectively located at two opposite sides of the motion end.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a first distance between the fulcrum and the first end is smaller than a second distance between the fulcrum and the second end.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cam comprises a rotating axis and an abutting surface surrounding the rotating axis; during the cam rotating along with the second body, the abutting surface abuts against the first end through a plurality of abutting points in sequence; and a plurality of third distances between the abutting points and the rotating axis increase gradually or decrease gradually during the cam rotating along with the second body.
6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the abutting surface comprises an arc section; and a plurality of fourth distances between the abutting points, which are located on the arc section, and the rotating axis are equal.
7. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the first body comprises a base and a casing disposed on the base; the cam, the first end and the fulcrum are disposed between the casing and the base; the cover plate and the casing are arranged side by side; and the second end is located outside the casing.
8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cam comprises a rotating axis and an abutting surface surrounding the rotating axis; during the cam rotating along with the second body, the abutting surface abuts against the first end through a plurality of abutting points in sequence; and a plurality of fifth distances between the abutting points and the rotating axis are equal during the cam rotating along with the second body.
9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the cam comprises a protrusion protruding from the abutting surface, and a sixth distance between the protrusion and the rotating axis is greater than the plurality of fifth distances between the abutting points and the rotating axis.
10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft, the cam, the lever element, and the fulcrum are disposed into a group, and the number of the group is two; a first group of the shaft, the cam, the lever element, and the fulcrum is disposed at a first side of the cover plate; a second group of the shaft, the cam, the lever element, and the fulcrum s disposed at a second side of the cover plate which is opposite to the first side of the cover plate.
