Electronic apparatus

Abstract

An electronic apparatus is disclosed, which comprises: a casing, a cap, a data storage unit and an ejecting module. The casing has an accommodation space formed by the enclosure of two sidewalls of the casing. The accommodation space is further configured with an opening that can be covered by the cap so as to seal the accommodation space. The ejecting module is comprised of: a holder, pivotally coupled to one of the two sidewalls while clamping the data storage unit; and a first elastic element, disposed at a position for allowing the same to be compress when the opening is covered by the cap, and consequently, enabling the first elastic element to be released from the compression when the cap is removed from the opening, and thus bringing along the holder to rotate in a specific direction for lifting and exposing the data storage unit out of the accommodation space.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a structure for electronic apparatus, and more particularly, to an electronic apparatus capable of inducing a built-in data storage unit to be lifted and thus exposed automatically by the opening of its cap.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Nowadays, computer is becoming an essential tool for almost every profession. However, operating under various conditions including computer virus invasion, demands for storing huge amount of data in a flash, collision, getting shorted out by water, erroneous or even hazard operation behaviors, and so on, it is very likely to cause the data storage apparatus in the computer, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), to malfunction and thus the process for detaching the data storage apparatus from the computer so as to be repaired or replaced can be very common.[0003]Taking the detaching of a data storage apparatus out of a common notebook computer for example, the data storage apparatus can only ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an electronic apparatus, which comprises: a casing, a cap, a data storage unit and an ejecting module. The casing has an accommodation space formed by the enclosure of two sidewalls of the casing. The accommodation space is further configured with an opening that can be covered by the cap so as to seal the accommodation space. The data storage unit is received inside the accommodation space. The ejecting module is further comprised of: a holder, pivotally coupled to one of the two sidewalls while clamping the data storage unit; and a first elastic element, having a free end movably coupled to the holder and a fixed end connected to the casing, disposed at a position for allowing the same to be compress when the opening is covered by the cap, and consequently, enabling the first elastic element to be released from the compression when the cap is removed from the opening, while bringing along the holder to rotate in a specific direction.

[0009]Operationally, when the cap is removed from the opening, the resilience of the first elastic element will force the holder to pivot in the specific direction and thus bring along the data storage unit to be lifted and exposed out of the accommodation space. Thereby, the data storage unit can be detached rapidly and conveniently.

Problems solved by technology

However, operating under various conditions including computer virus invasion, demands for storing huge amount of data in a flash, collision, getting shorted out by water, erroneous or even hazard operation behaviors, and so on, it is very likely to cause the data storage apparatus in the computer, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), to malfunction and thus the process for detaching the data storage apparatus from the computer so as to be repaired or replaced can be very common.

Nevertheless, such detaching and assembly process can be very time consuming and inconvenient for not only the manufacturers, but also the users.
