An electronic device includes a first body and a second body. The first body has a lock portion. The second body includes a main body, a lock component, an actuator and a retainer. The main body is configured to be detachably assembled to the first body. The lock component is movably disposed in the main body. The actuator is disposed in the main body. The retainer is connected to the actuator, in which when the main body is detachably assembled to the first body and the lock component is located at a first position, the lock component locks the lock portion to prevent the main body being separated from the first body, and the actuator is configured to drive the retainer pushing the lock component so as to prevent the lock component departing from the first position.

Electronic device

A docking station suitable for detachably assembling to an electronic device is provided. A bracket of the docking station includes a housing, a pushing element, a restoring element, and a main hook. When the pushing element is slid relative to the housing through the restoring element so the main hook is buckled to a main groove of the electronic device, a main hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device is established. When the pushing element is slid relative to the housing so the main hook departs from the main groove, a secondary hook of the docking station establishes a secondary hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device. When the electronic device is removed from the bracket until the secondary hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device is released, the restoring element restores the pushing element relative to the housing.

Docking station, electronic system and operating method of releasing connection between two devices

An expansion apparatus suitable for an electronic apparatus is provided. The expansion apparatus includes a base, a supporter and an airflow guiding structure. The base has a first fan disposed therein. The supporter is pivoted to the base along a rotating axis and has a cooling channel. The cooling channel has a first port and a second port opposite to the first port. When the electronic apparatus is assembled to the supporter, the second port of the cooling channel faces to the electronic apparatus. The airflow guiding structure is disposed between the supporter and the base movably. When the supporter is pivoted relative to the base to an expanded state, an active airflow generated by the first fan is guided by the airflow guiding structure to pass through the base and the electronic apparatus. An electronic equipment including the expansion apparatus is also provided.
