The accommodating space 112 is formed after the first part 114 and the second part 116 are assembled, and the second part 116 has an opening 116 a facing out of the casing 52 . The first magnetic element 120 is disposed on the first portion 114 in the fixing seat 110 and corresponds to the accommodating space 112 . The conductive terminal 130 is disposed in the accommodating space 112 and corresponds to the first magnetic element 120 . In this way, the conductive terminals 130 can be attracted by the first magnetic element 120 and hidden in the accommodating space 112 of the fixing base 110 .

Specifically, in this embodiment, the conductive structure 100 further includes a third magnetic element 140 disposed on the conductive terminal 130 and corresponding to the first magnetic element 120 . Wherein, the first magnetic element 120 and the third magnetic element 140 are, for example, permanent magnets or other suitable magnetic elements. In this way, the conductive terminal 130 can be attracted by the first magnetic element 120 through the third magnetic element 140 , and then be hidden in the accommodating space 112 of the fixing base 110 . Furthermore, the magnetic attraction force generated between the first magnetic element 120 and the third magnetic element 140 can drive the conductive terminal 130 connected to the third magnetic element 140 to approach the first magnetic element 120, thereby hiding the conductive terminal 130 in the Inside the accommodating space 112 of the fixing base 110 . However, the present invention is not limited to using the third magnetic element 140 to achieve the above purpose. In other embodiments, the third magnetic element 140 can also be replaced by a magnetic sensing element. Specifically, the magnetic sensing element is disposed on the conductive terminal 130 and corresponds to the first magnetic element 120 , for example, it is disposed where the third magnetic element 140 in FIG. 1 is located instead of the third magnetic element 140 . Wherein, the magnetic sensing element is, for example, an iron sheet or other suitable magnetic sensing elements. In this way, the conductive terminal 130 can be attracted by the first magnetic element 120 through the magnetic sensing element, and then be hidden in the accommodating space 112 of the fixing base 110 . In other words, the magnetic attraction force generated between the first magnetic element 120 and the magnetic sensing element can drive the conductive terminal 130 connected to the magnetic sensing element to approach the first magnetic element 120 , thereby hiding the conductive terminal 130 in the accommodating space of the fixing seat 110 112 inside. Thus, the conductive terminals 130 are automatically hidden in the fixing seat 110 by the magnetic attraction force, so as to reduce the possibility of the conductive terminals 130 being deformed by external force, and to make the electronic component 50 and the conductive structure 100 have a beautiful appearance.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the electronic component in FIG. 1 in an operating state. Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , in this embodiment, the electronic component 50 can be connected to a power component 60 , such as a charging board, for charging. Wherein, the electric component 60 includes a second magnetic element 62 and a conductive contact 64 . In this way, when the electronic component 50 is to be electrically connected to the power component 60 through the conductive terminal 130 connected to the conductive contact 64, the conductive terminal 130 is adapted to be attracted by the second magnetic component 62 when approaching the conductive contact 64 equipped with the second magnetic component 62 And move from the accommodating space 112 of the fixing seat 110 to contact and electrically connect the conductive contact 64 , so that the power signal is transmitted between the conductive terminal 130 and the conductive contact 64 . Furthermore, the second magnetic element 62 is, for example, a permanent magnet or other suitable magnetic elements. The magnetic attraction generated between the second magnetic element 62 and the third magnetic element 140 can drive the conductive terminal 130 connected to the third magnetic element 140 to approach the second magnetic element 62 . In this way, the conductive terminal 130 can be attracted by the second magnetic element 62 through the third magnetic element 140 disposed thereon, and then move out from the accommodating space 112 of the fixing seat 110 , and move to the The conductive contact 64 is contacted and electrically connected so that the power signal is transmitted from the electric component 60 to the electronic component 50 via the conductive contact 64 and the conductive terminal 130 .

In addition, in this embodiment, the first magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic element 120 and the conductive terminal 130 is smaller than the second magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic element 62 and the conductive terminal 130 . Specifically, in this embodiment, there is a first magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 120 and the conductive terminal 130 . In this way, using a magnetic element with a large magnetic attraction force as the second magnetic element 62 can make the second magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic element 62 and the conductive terminal 130 greater than the first magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic element 120 and the conductive terminal 130. Magnetic attraction force, so that the conductive terminal 130 is attracted by the second magnetic element 62 when the first magnetic attraction force still exists between the first magnetic element 120 and the conductive terminal 130, and moves toward the conductive contact 64 equipped with the second magnetic element 62 Moves to contact and electrically connects conductive contacts 64 . In addition, according to the structure of the power component 60, the conductive terminal 130 attracted by the second magnetic element 62 is not limited to be completely moved out of the fixed seat 110, as long as the conductive terminal 130 can pass through relative to the fixed seat 110 after being attracted by the second magnetic element 62. It only needs to move to touch and electrically connect the conductive contact 64 , as shown in FIG. 3 , and the present invention is not limited thereto. However, in other embodiments, when the electronic component 50 is connected to other power components, the conductive terminals 130 can also protrude out of the fixing seat 110 after being attracted by the second magnetic element of the power component. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the second portion 116 of the fixing base 110 further has a limiting portion 116b located on one side of the opening 116a for limiting the position of the conductive terminal 130 relative to the opening 116a. In other words, when the conductive terminal 130 is attracted by the second magnetic element and moves toward the outside of the fixing base 110 through the opening 116a, the third magnetic element 140 disposed on the conductive terminal 130 or a part of the conductive terminal 130 can be located in the opening 116a. The nearby limiting portion 116 b interferes to limit the length of the conductive terminal 130 protruding from the fixing seat 110 , so as to prevent the conductive terminal 130 from falling off from the fixing seat 110 . However, the present invention does not limit the configuration of the limiting portion 116b, which can be selected according to requirements. The conductive terminal 130 can stop moving by contacting the conductive contact 64 . In this way, when the conductive terminal 130 is to be connected to the power component 60 , the conductive terminal 130 hidden in the fixing seat 110 can automatically move to contact and electrically connect the conductive contact 64 of the power component 60 through the magnetic attraction force.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In other embodiments, the electronic component 50 can be used as a power component, such as a charging stand, and connected to an electronic device not shown, so that the electronic device to be charged can be charged by the electronic component 50 as a power component. Wherein, the electronic device may also include the aforementioned second magnetic element and the conductive contact. In this way, when the electronic component 50 intends to be electrically connected to the electronic device through the conductive terminal 130 connected to the conductive contact, the conductive terminal 130 can be attracted by the second magnetic component when it is close to the conductive contact equipped with the second magnetic component. The accommodating space 112 moves to contact and electrically connects the conductive contacts, so that the power signal is transmitted from the electronic component 50 to the electronic device through the conductive terminals 130 and the conductive contacts. It can be seen that the conductive structure 100 of this embodiment is not limited to be applied to electronic components that provide power or electronic components to be charged, that is, the conductive structure 100 of this embodiment can be applied to various types of electronic components. For example, the power component 60 and the electronic component 50 may be respectively configured on different electronic devices, and electronic signals are transmitted between the power component 60 and the electronic component 50 through the conductive contact 64 and the conductive terminal 130 . In short, the conductive contact 64 and the conductive terminal 130 can be used not only to transmit current but also to transmit electronic signals.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 again. In this embodiment, after the power signal transmission between the electronic component 50 and the power component 60 is completed, the electronic component 50 can be moved away from the power component 60, so that the conductive terminals 130 of the electronic component 50 Conductive contact 64 away from electrical component 60 . After the electronic component 50 moves away from the power component 60 for a certain distance, the second magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic element 62 of the power component 60 and the conductive terminal 130 gradually decreases and disappears. When the electric component 60 moves to the point where the second magnetic attraction force between the second magnetic element 62 and the conductive terminal 130 is smaller than the first magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic element 120 and the conductive terminal 130 , the conductive terminal 130 is held by the first magnetic element 120 Attracted to move toward the first magnetic element 120 , and then hidden in the accommodating space 112 of the fixing base 110 again. Based on the above, the conductive structure 100 and the electronic component 50 of this embodiment have hidden conductive terminals 130, and the conductive terminals 130 can be automatically hidden or moved out of the fixing seat 110 through the attraction of magnetic elements, so as to reduce the external force generated by the conductive terminals 130. possibility of deformation.

To sum up, in the conductive structure and electronic assembly of the present invention, when the conductive terminal is not connected to the conductive contact, a first magnetic attraction force is generated between the conductive terminal and the first magnetic element, so that the conductive terminal is arranged on the fixed seat The first magnetic element inside is attracted and hidden in the accommodating space of the fixing base. When the conductive terminal is to be connected to the conductive contact, the conductive terminal can generate a second magnetic attraction force between the conductive terminal and the second magnetic element when approaching the conductive contact equipped with the second magnetic element, and the second magnetic attraction force is greater than the first magnetic attraction force, so that The conductive terminal is attracted by the second magnetic element to move from the accommodating space to contact and electrically connect the conductive contact. Accordingly, the conductive structure and electronic component of the present invention have hidden conductive terminals, and the conductive terminals can be automatically hidden or moved out of the fixing seat through the attraction of the magnetic element, so as to reduce the possibility of deformation of the conductive terminals by external force.
