Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first body with a base and a movable member, a second body, a lifting member, and a linkage mechanism. The movable member is located on an upper surface of the base and includes a first side and a second side. The first side is pivotally connected to the base. The second body is pivotally connected to the second side by using a first rotary shaft. The lifting member is pivotally connected to the movable member by using a second rotary shaft. The linkage mechanism is disposed on the movable member, is linked to the second body by using the first rotary shaft, and drives the lifting member to rotate by using the second rotary shaft. When the second body is opened upward, an air outlet on a rear side of the first body is prevented from being covered.

Claims (19)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first body, comprising a base and a movable member, wherein the movable member is located on an upper surface of the base and comprises a first side and a second side, and the first side is pivotally connected to the base;

a second body, pivotally connected to the second side by using a first rotary shaft;

a lifting member, pivotally connected to the movable member by using a second rotary shaft; and

a linkage mechanism, disposed on the movable member, and comprising:

a first gear, fixed to the first rotary shaft;

a second gear, engaged with the first gear; and

a third gear, engaged with the second gear and fixed to the second rotary shaft;

wherein, the linkage mechanism is linked to the second body by using the first rotary shaft, to drive the lifting member to rotate, and

wherein a rotation axis of the second gear is parallel to that of the first rotary shaft.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable member comprises an output/input unit.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the output/input unit is a screen.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the output/input unit is a speaker.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises an air outlet located on a side surface of the base adjacent to the movable member.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises an air inlet located on the upper surface.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a torsion device, disposed on the second rotary shaft, to provide resistance to the lifting member.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second rotary shaft comprises a bump configured to drive the lifting member to rotate.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a slide rail disposed on the upper surface, wherein the lifting member comprises a pivot end and a movable end, the pivot end is pivotally connected to the movable member, and the movable end comprises a bump configured to be slidably fitted into the slide rail.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a gear seat disposed on a lower surface of the movable member, wherein the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear are disposed on the gear seat.
