Most of these mobile electronic devices are provided with a core element (core element) in a casing. The so-called core element in the present invention mainly includes a circuit board and a plug connector. The circuit board can be a flash memory module or A wireless communication module, etc., but not limited thereto, and the form of the plug connector includes FireWire (FireWire), external serial ATA (External Serial ATA, eSATA for short) and Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus, short for short) USB) and other forms. The plug connector can be plugged into a connector of an electronic device (such as a notebook computer, a digital photo frame), so that the mobile electronic device can be connected with the electronic device to transmit information to each other.

As mentioned above, many manufacturers currently design their plug connectors as retractable plug connectors when manufacturing the aforementioned mobile electronic devices, so that users can push or turn the plug connectors out of the casing of the mobile electronic device, and also The plug connector is received into the housing, so that when the mobile electronic device is not connected with other electronic equipment, the plug connector can be hidden in the housing and thus protected by the housing. However, according to the inventor's long-term research findings, there are still many deficiencies in the structure of the mobile electronic devices that are common on the market today and need to be improved. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a mobile electronic device 1 that can be rotated to push out the plug connector, wherein the core component 10 is located in the housing 11 of the mobile electronic device 1, and the front end of the core component 10 is a plug connector. 100 , please refer to FIG. 2 , the core component 10 is provided with a circuit board 101 inside. The mobile electronic device 1 includes a track element 12 , a slider 13 , a crankshaft 14 and a rotating block 15 . Wherein, the track element 12 is connected with the core element 10, the slider 13 is combined with the crankshaft 14, and the slider 13 can slide in the slide rail of the track element 12, in addition, the rotating block 15 passes through the shell The body 11 is connected to the crankshaft 14 .

Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, when the user wants to push the plug joint 100 out of the casing 11, the user must turn the rotating block 15 in one direction, so that the crankshaft 14 rotates around the rotating block 15, and then At this time, the crankshaft 14 can drive the slider 13 to make the slider 13 slide in the slide rail of the track element 12 , so that the track element 12 pushes the core element 10 and the plug connector 100 moves out of the housing 11 . On the other hand, the user can also rotate the rotating block 15 in the opposite direction, so that the crankshaft 14 rotates to drive the slider 13 and the track element 12, and then pull the core element 10 back, so that the plug joint 100 moves into the housing 11 . However, according to the research of the inventor, it is found that when the user uses this mobile electronic device 1, the angle of rotation of the rotating block 15 must reach 180 degrees in order to completely push the plug connector 100 out of the casing 11, which is too large. The design of the rotation angle is not smooth and quite inconvenient for the user. Moreover, the structure of the existing mobile electronic device 1 is too complex and the number of components is too large, so it is difficult for the manufacturer to assemble the mobile electronic device 1 in an automated manner, and the mobile electronic device 1 must be manufactured by manual assembly. , greatly increasing production costs. Furthermore, when the manufacturer assembles the mobile electronic device 1, the core element 10, the track element 12, the slider 13, the crankshaft 14 and the rotating block 15 must be assembled to the housing 11 one by one from different directions, which not only causes assembly The efficiency is low, and due to factors such as too many components, the possibility of assembly errors or mistakes is increased, resulting in an increase in the yield rate of the product, which is not ideal. Most importantly, because the structure of the existing mobile electronic device 1 is too complex, it is not conducive to the overall miniaturization of the device, resulting in the volume of the device is often difficult to meet the use and design requirements, which is very unsatisfactory.
