Abstract

An electronic device of the invention includes a base and a touch-vibration module. The base has an opening. The touch-vibration module includes a supporting bracket, a mass balancing element, a vibrating unit and a touch unit. The supporting bracket is connected to the base at the opening of the base. The mass balancing element is disposed at the supporting bracket. The vibrating unit is disposed at the supporting bracket. The touch unit is disposed at the supporting bracket and the vibrating unit is located between the supporting bracket and the touch unit.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a base, having an opening; and

a touch-vibration module, comprising;

a supporting bracket, connected to the base at the opening of the base;

a mass balancing element, disposed at the supporting bracket;

a vibrating unit, disposed at the supporting bracket; and

a touch unit, disposed at the supporting bracket, wherein the vibrating unit is located between the supporting bracket and the touch unit.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sum of mass of the supporting bracket and the mass balancing element is greater than the mass of the touch unit.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is a gap between the vibrating unit and the mass balancing element.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is a gap between the touch unit and the mass balancing element.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the supporting bracket and the mass balancing element are integrally formed.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the touch-vibration module further comprises:

another vibrating unit, disposed at the supporting bracket, wherein the vibrating units are respectively located at both sides of the mass balancing element.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the touch-vibration module further comprises:

a pressed unit, disposed on the touch unit.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the base has a protrusive point, and when the supporting bracket under an external force moves relatively to the base, the pressed unit moves towards the protrusive point and is pressed by the protrusive point.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the protrusive point goes through the supporting bracket and the mass balancing element to press the pressed unit.
