A portable electronic device including a first body, a second body, a pivot element, a heat source, a first flexible heat conductive element, and a flip cover is provided. The pivot element is connected to the second body, and the second body is pivotally connected to the first body through the pivot element. The heat source is disposed in the first body. The first flexible heat conductive element is thermally coupled to the heat source and extends toward the pivot element from the heat source. The first flexible heat conductive element passes through the pivot element and extends into the inside of the second body and is thus thermally coupled to the second body. The flip cover is pivotally connected to the first body and located on a moving path of the pivot element.

Portable electronic device

An electronic device, including a host, a main display, an auxiliary display, and a lifting mechanism, is provided. The main display is pivoted to the host. The auxiliary display is disposed on the host. The lifting mechanism is disposed between the auxiliary display and the host. The lifting mechanism is configured to lift the auxiliary display and maintain a lifting height of the auxiliary display.

Electronic device

A hinge mechanism includes at least two hinge modules and at least one switching assembly disposed between the adjacent two hinge modules and including a first and second rotating members rotating coaxially with respect to each other. The first rotating member is coaxially disposed at one of the adjacent hinge modules to rotate synchronously. The second rotating member is coaxially disposed at the other one of the adjacent hinge modules to rotate synchronously. The first rotating member has a first driving portion, and the second rotating member has a second driving portion. The first and second driving portions are located on rotating paths of each other, and an idle stroke is provided between the first and second driving portions along the rotating paths. When the first driving portion and the second driving portion pass through the idle stroke, torque forces generated by the adjacent two hinge modules are disconnected.

Hinge mechanism

An electronic device, including a host, a main display, an auxiliary display, and a lifting mechanism, is provided. The main display is pivoted to the host. The auxiliary display is disposed on the host. The lifting mechanism is disposed between the auxiliary display and the host, and includes a first bracket, a positioning pin, a second bracket, and a torsional spring. The first bracket is fixed to the host. The positioning pin is retractably disposed at the first bracket. The second bracket is fixed to the auxiliary display. The second bracket is pivoted to the first bracket and has a positioning notch. The positioning pin is located outside the positioning notch or is engaged with the positioning notch. The torsional spring has a first end and a second end that are opposite. The first end is connected to the first bracket. The second end is connected to the second bracket.

A key structure includes a base plate, a key cap disposed above the base plate, a scissor abutting against the base plate and the key cap, a spring abutting against the key cap, a positioning base connected to the key cap, a first cover connected to the positioning base and a second cover slidably connected to the first cover. The scissor, the spring, the positioning base, the first cover and the second cover are located between the base plate and the key cap. The positioning base has a positioning groove and a part of the spring is located in the positioning groove. The first cover has a through hole overlapped with the positioning groove, and the spring penetrates the through hole. The second cover penetrates the through hole and abuts against the base plate, and another part of the spring abuts against the second cover.
