Abstract: An electronic device is provided, including a main body and a camera module. The camera module has a frame, a lens unit disposed in the frame, a guiding member, and a hinge. The guiding member is affixed to the main body and has a rail and a spring sheet. The hinge pivotally connects to the frame and the guiding member. When the camera module is in the retracted position, the camera module is hidden in a recess of the main body. When the camera module slides out of the recess from the retracted position along the rail into the operational position, the spring sheet is pressed by the hinge to increase the friction between the hinge and the guiding member.

Abstract: A touch pad structure includes a base, a guiding component rotatably disposed on the base, a touch pad disposed above the base, and a switch. The guiding component is located between the base and the touch pad. The touch pad has an inner surface facing the base. Here, the switch is disposed on the inner surface, and a guiding structure is disposed on the inner surface. The guiding structure is slidably connected to the guiding component. The touch pad moving toward the base drives the guiding component to rotate relative to the base through the guiding structure, and the touch pad moves along a vertical direction.

Abstract: A hinge structure including an axis body, a torque member, and a pressing assembly is provided. The axis body includes a contact surface. The torque member leans against the contact surface of the axis body. The torque member and the axis body are rotatable relatively around a central axis of the axis body. The contact surface pushes the torque member to move around the central axis of the axis body when the torque member and the axis body rotate relatively. The pressing assembly provides a pushing force to the torque member to push the torque member to push towards the contact surface. A plurality of electronic devices having the hinge structure are further provided.

Abstract: A hinge structure includes a pivot, a bracket and a torsion element. The bracket is sleeved on the pivot and adapted to rotate relative to the pivot. The bracket surrounds to form a receiving space, and the receiving space surrounds the pivot. The torsion element is sleeved on the pivot and located in the receiving space. One of the two, which is between the torsion element and the pivot and between the torsion element and the bracket, has an internal thread and an external thread and being screwed with each other, and the other one has a non-circular cross-section, so that the torsion element moves in the receiving space in an extending direction of the pivot when the bracket is rotated relative to the pivot.
