Wherein, the height of each climbing part 2222 gradually decreases along the predetermined rotation direction R, and each climbing part 2222 has a first height H1 (such as: FIG. 8), and is higher than the third height H1. A second height H2 of a height H1 (such as: Figure 9), so that the corresponding linkage portion 2122 can be pressed, so that the driving member 212 can be driven based on the linkage portion 2122 being pressed. The lifting portion 2123 is relatively pivoted and driven.

For ease of understanding, the predetermined rotation direction R can also be regarded as a direction in which the climbing portion 2222 in FIG. 6 extends from its second point P2 along the first point P1 toward the initial point P0, and the climbing portion The first point P1 of the climbing part 2222 corresponds to the first height H1, the second point P2 of the climbing part 2222 corresponds to the second height H2, and the initial height of the climbing part 2222 The point P0 is close to the annular portion 2221.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 5 , when the control ring 221 is in the initial position (for example, each climbing part 2222 can contact the corresponding linkage part at the initial point P0 in FIG. 6 2122), the second object 200 can be inserted into the slot 12 of the first object 1 through the protruding portion 201, so that the buckling portion 2124 of each driving member 212 snaps The protruding portion 201 of the second object 200 enables the second object 200 to be firmly combined with the first object 1, and the lifting portion 2123 of each driving member 212 The position is slightly lower than the bearing member 211 . For the convenience of subsequent explanation, the initial position shown in FIG. 5 is defined as 0 degree in this embodiment, and each fastener S is located at one end corresponding to the arcuate track groove 13 .

As shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 8 , when the control ring 221 is rotated to a first position (for example, the control ring 221 is rotated from 0 degrees to 45 degrees, the fixing member 222 is rotated 45 degrees simultaneously. degree, and each locking piece S is located in the center of the corresponding arc-shaped track groove 13), each climbing portion 2222 abuts the corresponding linking portion 2122 at the first height H1 (In other words, each climbing portion 2222 can press against the corresponding linking portion 2122 at the first point P1 in FIG. 6 ), so that each holding portion 2124 is connected to the corresponding linking portion 2122 . The second object 200 is separated (for example, any of the buckling parts 2124 is separated from the protruding part 201), and each of the lifting parts 2123 is located in the corresponding notch 2111.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 9 , when the control ring 221 is rotated to a second position (for example, the control ring 221 is rotated from 45 degrees to 90 degrees to simultaneously bring the fixing member 222 is then rotated 45 degrees, and each locking piece S is located at the other end corresponding to the arc-shaped track groove 13), and each climbing portion 2222 is pressed against the corresponding one at the second height H2. The linkage portion 2122 (or in other words, each climbing portion 2222 can press against the corresponding linkage portion 2122 at the second point P2 in Figure 6), so that each of the climbing portions 2122 can push against the corresponding linkage portion 2122 at the second point P2 in Figure 6. The lifting portion 2123 enters the slot 12 and lifts up the second object 200 (for example, the second object 200 can be lifted up by any of the lifting portions 2123 through its protruding portion 201 and interacts with The first object 1 is separated).

As mentioned above, when the control ring 221 is rotated, the fixing member 222 is driven to rotate, so that the linking portion 2122 of each driving member 212 presses against one of the climbing portions 2222 to climb. Each driving member 212 pivots and drives the lifting portion 2123 based on the linking portion 2122 being pushed, so that the lifting portion 2123 lifts the protruding portion of the second object 200 201.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 2 can use the structural matching between the driving part 212 and the fixing part 222 to facilitate the adjustment of the first control ring 221 through mechanism interlocking. The connection relationship between the object 1 and the second object 200 further provides a connection method that is different from the previous one. More specifically, the connection relationship recorded in the embodiment of the present invention has three modes (namely: buckle mode, detachable mode and ejection mode). When the electronic device 100 is in the buckle mode (such as: 5), the first object 1 uses the retaining portion 2124 to retain the second object 200. When the electronic device 100 is in the detachable mode (eg, FIG. 8 ), that is, the holding portion 2124 no longer holds the second object 200 , the second object 200 can detach the first object. Object 1. When the electronic device 100 is in the ejection mode (eg, FIG. 8 ), the second object 200 can not only separate the first object 1 , but also use the ejection portion 2123 to separate the third object 100 from the first object 1 . Two objects are ejected for 200.

It should be additionally noted that after the control ring 221 is manipulated, in order to facilitate the return of the rotating structure 22 and the lifting structure 21 to the initial position (such as: each of the driving parts 212 The linking portion 2122 is in contact with the annular portion 2221 of the fixing member 222 , and the jacking structure 21 is further equipped with a plurality of return springs 23 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10 , a plurality of return springs 23 abut against the bearing member 211 and also abut against the linkage portions 2122 of the two driving members 212 respectively. When any one of the driving parts 212 rotates through its linking part 2122 being resisted by one of the climbing parts 2222, the corresponding return spring 23 is compressed and continues to have a return elastic force. Accordingly, after the control ring 221 is manipulated, each return spring 23 can release its return elastic force to drive the jacking structure 21 and the rotating structure 22 to return to the initial position. , but the present invention is not limited to this.

In addition, the driving member 212 used in the jacking structure 21 and its matching structure (such as the opening 121, the notch 2111, the climbing part 2222, and the return spring 23) are used in this article. Although two of them are illustrated in the embodiment, they can be adjusted to at least one or three or more according to design requirements.
