Problems solved by technology

It is known that the expansion slots used for inserting graphics cards in conventional computer systems cannot provide hot plug-n-play functions. Users need to shut down the computer system before removing the additional graphics cards.
Therefore, if the user accidentally separates the additional display card from the computer system when using the computer, the computer system will crash and the user will lose important data.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an automatic connector locking device of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Please refer to figure 1 , the automatic locking device 100 for electronic devices includes a control unit 102 , a locking unit 104 , a female socket 106 and a male connector 108 . The female socket 106 is disposed on an electronic device (not shown), and the locking unit 104 is used to perform a locking action on the male connector 108 when the male connector 108 and the female socket 106 are engaged.

[0042] In addition, the control unit 102 is coupled to the locking unit 104 and is electrically connected to the male connector 104 through the female socket 106 . The control unit 102 can detect the electrical connection status between the male connector 108 and the electronic device, and when it detects that the male connector 108 has been electrically connected to the electronic device, the control unit 102 can ...

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic locking device and method for a connector of electronic device. Through the detection of the electric connection condition of a male connector and the electronic device, whether to lock the male connector is determined, and the locking condition of the male connector is determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector locking device and method, and in particular to an electronic device automatic connector locking device and method. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, it is becoming more and more common for modern people to use computers, and the functions of computers are becoming more and more diverse. In order to allow users to quickly and conveniently improve the performance of the computer or increase its functions, the mainframe of the computer has a bus expansion portion (bus expansion portion), such as an AGP bus expansion slot (AGP bus slot), a PCI bus Expansion slot, Universal Serial Bus expansion pin set (USB expansion pin set), or Thunderbolt Bus expansion slot. [0003] By means of the above-mentioned various bus bars, multiple electronic devices, such as optical disk drives, hard disks, monitors, etc., can be connected to the host computer according to usage requirem...
