Abstract
A flip apparatus and an electronic device using the same are provided. The flip apparatus is disposed in the electronic device including a first casing and a second casing. The flip apparatus includes a sliding mechanism, a rotating mechanism pivotally connected to the second casing, and an actuating element disposed at the second casing. The sliding mechanism is disposed at the first casing and is slidably connected to the second casing to drive the first casing to slide to a rotating position relative to the second casing. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating block pivotally connected to the second casing and fixed to the first casing, a moving block slidably provided at the rotating block and is fixed to the sliding mechanism, and an elastic element coupled to the rotating block and has elastic potential energy. The rotating block can be driven to rotate by releasing the elastic potential energy.
