Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a cross-sectional view of the magnetically coupled electronic device 1 of the present invention before the first body 10 is combined with the second body 20 . As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the combination of the first body 10 and the second body 20, the first combination side 11 is designed as a slope structure, and the second combination side 21 is designed to correspond to the aforementioned slope Another slope structure of the structure: the contact area is increased through the design of the slope structure, and the mutual matching of the two slope structures is beneficial to the combination with each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto. If the magnetically coupled electronic device 1 of the present invention is a portable electronic device as an example, the first main body 10 can be the system end of the device, and the second main body 20 can be the keyboard module of the device, but the present invention is not limited to As a limit, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can also replace each other.

When the second body 20 has not been combined with the first body 10, in order to prevent the moving assembly 23 of the second body 20 located in the accommodating groove 22 from moving arbitrarily and avoid being easily attracted to each other with external magnetic substances, each auxiliary magnetic part 24 provides its magnetic adsorption effect between the second magnetic parts 231; accordingly, each second magnetic part 231 is attracted by the magnetic force of each auxiliary magnetic part 24, so that the moving assembly 23 is fixed away from the second magnetic part 231. The position of the combined side 21 , even before the first body 10 is assembled to the second body 20 , remains in a state of fixing the moving component 23 .

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a cross-sectional view of the magnetically coupled electronic device 1 of the present invention after the first body 10 is combined with the second body 20 .

Since the magnetic attraction force produced by the second magnetic member 231 to the auxiliary magnetic member 24 is smaller than the magnetic attraction force produced by the first magnetic member 12 to the second magnetic member 231, the second magnetic member 231 will be affected by the first magnetic member 12 at this time. The suction force breaks away from the adsorption state with the auxiliary magnetic member 24 , so that the moving component 23 moves toward the second coupling side 12 until it contacts the second coupling side 12 . During the moving process, the moving assembly 23 is limited by the guide portion 232a of the bracket 232 and the corresponding guide portion 221 of the accommodating groove 22, so that the moving assembly 23 can only move substantially linearly along the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. . Therefore, through the strong magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic part 12 and the second magnetic part 231 , the moving assembly 23 is moved to a position, so as to achieve the close combination effect of the first body 10 and the second body 20 .

And when the moving assembly 23 moves to contact the second coupling side 12, the impact of the moving assembly 23 on the second coupling side 12 is slowed down by the setting of the aforementioned at least one damping member 233 to provide a buffering effect; and when the user listens to When the impact sound is heard, it can be confirmed that the moving component 23 has moved to the position and provides the magnetic coupling effect between the first body 10 and the second body 20 .

In this way, before the first body and the second body of the magnetically coupled electronic device of the present invention are not combined or the first body and the second body are not fully assembled and aligned, the moving component will be fixed on the side away from the second coupling side. position is not used. When the first body and the second body are aligned and combined with each other, the first magnetic part generates a strong magnetic adsorption effect on the second magnetic part, so as to drive the moving assembly to move toward the second joint side, so as to provide the first body and the second body Auxiliary binding effect between two subjects.

Of course, the present invention can also have other various embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present invention without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, but these corresponding Changes and deformations should belong to the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
