Hinge mechanism and electronic device

An electronic device, comprising an electronic device body, a stand, and a hinge mechanism,

• wherein one of the electronic device body and the stand is configured as a first component, and the other is configured as a second component, to rotatably connect the electronic device body and the stand through the hinge mechanism;
• wherein the hinge mechanism connects the first component and the second component such that the first component is rotatably connected to the second component about a first axis, and the hinge mechanism comprises:
• a first damping structure mounted on the first component;
• a second damping structure;
• and
• a connecting piece,
• wherein the first damping structure and the second damping structure are spaced apart in a first direction and are connected through the connecting piece;
• and
• when the first damping structure rotates about the first axis relative to the second component under driving of the first component, the second damping structure is driven by the connecting piece to rotate about a second axis relative to the second component, wherein both the first axis and the second axis extend in a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
