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.

During the moving process, the moving assembly 23 is limited by the guide portion 232 a of the bracket 232 and the corresponding guide portion 221 of the receiving groove 22 , so that the moving assembly 23 can only move in a straight line along the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. Then, 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 the position, and the first magnetic part 12 and the second magnetic part 231 are attracted to each other to reach the first main body 10. Close bonding effect with the second body 20 .

And when the moving assembly 23 moves to contact the second coupling side 12, through the setting of the aforementioned damping member 233, the impact generated by the moving assembly 23 on the second coupling side 12 is slowed down to provide a buffering effect; and when the user hears the aforementioned When the impact sound is generated, it can be confirmed that the moving component 23 has moved to the position, and provides a 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.

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