In the process of moving the display unit 212, the switching element 232 moves together with the display unit 212, and the switching element 232 applies a force greater than a preset value to the bump 221, so that the bump 221 is moved by the switching element 232 to release the Interference of an opening C1. In other words, the bump 221 will exit the first opening C1, and the switching member 232 of the sliding unit 230 is located in the unlocking position shown in FIG. 3D.

When the interference between the switching member 232 and the protrusion 221 is released, in order to restore the original length of the elastic member 240 from the initial stretched state, a pulling force is generated to drive the slide rail group 231, so that the display unit 212 automatically moves to the drawing The operating position shown in 3G moves. When the display unit 212 and the sliding unit 230 are in the operating positions shown in FIGS. 3G and 3E, the protrusion 221 is driven by the elastic force of the elastic member 222 to extend into the second opening C2 to restrict the first slide rail 2311 from continuing to move.
