The two bodies are pivotally connected to each other through the hinge structure. The functional assembly is movably disposed on one of the two bodies. The linkage structure is connected between the two bodies, and the functional assembly is connected to the linkage structure. The linkage structure is adapted to drive the functional assembly to move relative to the corresponding body as the two bodies are rotated relative to each other.

Electronic device

A torque hinge module including a rotating element and a torque assembly is provided. The torque assembly rotatably sleeves the rotating element to generate torque. One of the rotating element and the torque assembly has a first bearing surface, and the other one has a second bearing surface and a third bearing surface corresponding to the first bearing surface. There is a first included angle between a plane where the second bearing surface is located and a plane where the third bearing surface have is located. A shape of the first bearing surface corresponds to a shape of the second bearing surface and a shape of the third bearing surface. When the rotating element rotates relative to the torque assembly to make the first bearing surface bear against the second bearing surface or the third bearing surface, the torque is reduced.
