For example, when the projection module 4 is directly facing the projection screen, the projection module 4 can directly display enlarged images through the projection screen. However, since the operator also needs to operate the computing device 1 at the same time, it becomes difficult to set the projection module 4 facing the projection screen.

To solve this problem, the computing device 1 of the present invention further includes a mirror module 5 rotatably connected in the terminal housing 3 . The mirror module 5 can be a mirror for reflection, or a combination of multiple mirrors. The reflector module 5 is rotatably connected in the terminal housing 3, so that the reflector module 5 can be configured as follows: when in the closed state, the reflector module 5 can be turned over and accommodated in the receiving space 8 of the terminal housing 3 Inside, refer to FIG. 3 ; when in an open state, the mirror module 5 is flipped to the outside of the terminal housing 3 to adjust the projection path of the projection module 4 , refer to FIG. 2 .

In the computing device of the present invention, the projection device 4 is integrated into the terminal housing 3 . When in use, the projection path of the projection module 4 can be changed through a mirror module 5, so that the projection can be adjusted to an optimal projection state. The reflector module 5 can be hidden in the receiving space 8 of the terminal housing 3 when not in use, so as not to affect the appearance of the foldable notebook computer shown in FIG. 1 , which is convenient for its portability and normal use.

The computing device of the present invention can perform projection display without being connected to an independent projector through a data line, so that the computing device itself has a projection function, and the cost of projection is reduced. Moreover, the projection device 2 is integrated inside the terminal housing, and the relevant components of the projection device 2 are turned over only when needed, so as not to affect the appearance of the computing device. The computing device can be an easily portable electronic device such as a notebook computer, a tablet computer or a mobile phone, which expands the functions of the computing device and facilitates the office needs of business people.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 2 , the receiving space 8 is disposed inside the terminal housing 3 for placing the mirror module 5 in a closed state. The computing device 1 includes a connecting rod 6 , one end of the connecting rod 6 is connected to the mirror module 5 , and the other end is rotatably connected to the inside of the terminal housing 3 through a rotating shaft. By controlling the rotation of the connecting rod 6 , the mirror module 5 can be hidden in the receiving space 8 of the terminal housing 3 , or the mirror module 5 can be turned over into the projection path of the projection module 4 .

Preferably, the connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected inside the terminal housing 3 through a torsion spring 7 , and the torsion spring 7 can be arranged at the rotation axis of the connecting rod 6 . When the connecting rod 6 is rotated, the connecting rod 6 needs to overcome the torque of the torsion spring 7, so that the connecting rod 6 can be kept in a certain state and prevent the connecting rod 6 from moving freely.

The connecting rod 6 of the present invention preferably includes a first connecting rod 6b for rotationally connecting with the terminal housing 3 , and a second connecting rod 6a connected with the first connecting rod 6b at one end and with the mirror module 5 at one end.

When the mirror module 5 is closed in place, cooperate with the above-mentioned locking assembly 12 to The mirror module 5 is locked. When it needs to be opened, the locking assembly 12 is separated from the mirror module 5 , and at this time, the mirror module 5 is ejected from the receiving space 8 under the elastic restoring force of the elastic device 11 .

The elastic device 11 of the present invention can be used in conjunction with the torsion spring 7 on the connecting rod 6, for example, through a reasonable design, the elastic device 11 can only pop the mirror module 5 and the connecting rod 6 out of the receiving space of the terminal housing 3 8. Afterwards, it is necessary to manually overcome the torque of the torsion spring 7 to turn the mirror module 5 and the connecting rod 6 to a fully open state, which will not be described in detail here.
