  • Publication number: 20260111060
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic device including a body, a locking structure, and a keyboard. The locking structure is slidably disposed on the body and has an unlocking slot and a locking slot communicated with the unlocking slot. The keyboard is detachably mounted on the body, where the keyboard is provided with a positioning member inserted into the body and the positioning member is inserted into either the unlocking slot or the locking slot. When the locking structure slides relative to the positioning member, moving the positioning member from the unlocking slot to the locking slot, the locking structure locks the keyboard to the body. When the locking structure slides relative to the positioning member, moving the positioning member from the locking slot to the unlocking slot, the locking restriction of the keyboard by the locking structure is released.
