1. A connecting mechanism for connecting an electronic device to a docking station, comprising: a first socket movably disposed in the electronic device, a first engaging recess being formed on a side of the first socket; a first magnet disposed in the first socket; a fixing member disposed on the docking station; a first magnetic induction member disposed on the fixing member and corresponding to the first magnet; a first engaging member movably disposed on the fixing member and having a first engaging portion; and a first driving member disposed between the fixing member and the first engaging member; wherein when the first magnetic induction member approaches the first magnet, a first magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetic induction member and the first magnet, such that the first magnet drives the first socket to move toward the first magnetic induction member, and then the first socket pushes the first engaging portion, such that the first engaging member moves away from the first socket; when the first magnetic induction member and the first magnet are attached to each other, the first driving member drives the first engaging member to move toward the first socket, such that the first engaging portion is engaged in the first engaging recess.
