Abstract: An electronic device includes a device main body, a stand, and a rotating structure including a base body, a first rotating member, and a second rotating member. The base body connected to the device main body has at least one elastic part abutting against the first rotating member. The first rotating member is rotatably connected to the base body along a first rotating axis and is suitable for resisting an elastic force of the elastic part to rotate relative to the base body. The second rotating member is connected to the stand, has at least one friction part, and is rotatably connected to the first rotating member along a second rotating axis. The friction part abuts against the first rotating member, and the second rotating member is suitable for resisting a friction force between the friction part and the first rotating member to rotate relative to the first rotating member.

Abstract: A face cleaning apparatus includes a brush head, a case, a transmission shaft, and an eccentric wheel module. The case has a throughhole. The transmission shaft is disposed within the case and has a shaft body having an oscillating end and a protrusion extending along an axial surface. The oscillating end is disposed axially through the throughhole and connected to the brush head. The eccentric wheel module is disposed within the case and includes a motor and an eccentric wheel rotated by the motor. The protrusion is pressed against a side of the eccentric wheel and reciprocates following rotation of the eccentric wheel such that the oscillating end is driven to oscillate with respect to the case. Therefore, the face cleaning apparatus has the advantages of low vibration, low noise, increased battery life, and simple assembly.
