Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a first cover, a second cover and a connecting mechanism connecting the first cover with the second cover. The connecting mechanism includes a fixing base fixed on the first cover, a turning base fixed on the second cover, a first linking board rotatably connected to the fixing base and the turning base, a second linking board rotatably connected to the fixing base and the turning base. The fixing base, the first linking board, the turning base and the second linking board collectively form a four-bar linkage mechanism. The connecting mechanism further includes an arc spring urged between the second linking board and the fixing base to supply an elastic force to the four-bar linkage mechanism.

A portable electronic device, comprising a first cover, a second cover and a connecting mechanism connecting the first cover with the second cover, the connecting mechanism comprising:
- a fixing base, fixed on the first cover;
- a turning base, fixed on the second cover;
- a first linking board, rotatably connected to the fixing base and the turning base;
- a second linking board, rotatably connected to the fixing base and the turning base, and collectively forming a four-bar linkage mechanism with the fixing base, the first linking board and the turning base;
- and
- an arc spring, urged between the second linking board and the fixing base, to supply an elastic force to the four-bar linkage mechanism to open or close the second cover.
A portable electronic device, comprising a first cover, a second cover and a connecting mechanism connecting the first cover with the second cover, the connecting mechanism comprising a four-bar linkage mechanism and an arc spring elastically connecting with the four-bar linkage mechanism, the arc spring driving the four-bar linkage mechanism rotating to open and close the second cover on the first cover.
