1. A rotating shaft device comprising:
a base;
a rotation member disposed on the base and rotatable relative to the base about a rotation axis between a first position and a second position, the rotation axis extending in a left-right direction, the rotation member having a rotation guiding structure that at least partially surrounds the rotation axis;
a slide member disposed on the base and slidable relative to the base in the left-right direction, the slide member having a slide engaging structure that is coupled to the rotation guiding structure and that is slidable along the rotation guiding structure, and a slide guiding structure that extends in an up-down direction;
a supporting member disposed on the base and slidable relative to the base in the up-down direction between an initial position and a supporting position; and
a linkage unit including a first link that is pivotably connected to the base, a second link that is located at one side of the first link, and that is pivotably connected to the first link and the supporting member, and a linkage engaging structure that is disposed at a junction of the first link and the second link, that is coupled to the slide guiding structure of the slide member, and that is slidable along the slide guiding structure, a portion of the second link peeking out from under the first link, the linkage unit being convertible between a folded state and an expanded state, when the rotation member is in the first position, the linkage unit being in the folded state and the supporting member being in the initial position, when the rotation member is rotated to the second position, the slide member being urged by rotation of the rotation member to slide in the left-right direction and to convert the linkage unit into the expanded state, and the supporting member being urged by the second link of the linkage unit to slide to the supporting position.
