Abstract:
1. A flip apparatus disposed in an electronic device comprising a first casing and a second casing, the flip apparatus comprising: a sliding mechanism disposed at the first casing and slidably connected to the second casing to drive the first casing to slide to a rotating position relative to the second casing; a rotating mechanism pivotally connected to the second casing, wherein the rotating mechanism comprises: a rotating block pivotally connected to the second casing and fixed to the first casing; a moving block slidably provided at the rotating block and fixed to the sliding mechanism, wherein the moving block can slide relative to the rotating block; and an elastic element coupled to the rotating block, wherein the elastic element has elastic potential energy and the rotating block can be driven to rotate by releasing the elastic potential energy; and an actuating element disposed at the second casing and used for restricting the rotating mechanism, wherein when the first casing slides to the rotating position relative to the second casing, the actuating element can release the rotating mechanism to release the elastic potential energy of the elastic element, and then the rotating block is driven to rotate and the moving block is driven to slide relative to the rotating block thus to drive the first casing to rotate relative to the second casing.
