[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an embedded module plug-in mechanism, wherein the module is a device that needs to be plugged in and out of the host, including but not limited to a USB flash drive, a memory, other functional modules, etc. The mechanism includes: a host body 100: the host body 100 refers to the main body part of the computer except the input and output devices. It is also a control box for placing the motherboard and other main components. It usually includes a CPU, memory, motherboard, optical drive, power supply, and other input and output controllers and interfaces; one side of the host body 100 is provided with a storage compartment 110, and the storage compartment 110 refers to a storage space that can accommodate modules and connect to the modules, and one end of the storage compartment 110 is connected to the outside of the host body 100, and the storage compartment 110 includes: a hatch 111, and the hatch 111 has good waterproof performance. The hatch 111 is located at the end of the storage compartment 110 that is connected to the outside, and is movably connected to the host body 100. By changing the position of the hatch 111, a closed space can be formed with the storage compartment 110; a first magnet 112, the first magnet 112 is located on a side of the hatch 111 close to the storage compartment 110, and is fixedly connected to the hatch 111. The external module 200 is the module described above. The size of the external module 200 matches the storage compartment 110. The external module 200 can be placed in the storage compartment 110. The external module 200 includes: a module body 210, which is a device to be connected to the host body 100; a second magnet 220, which is located on the module body 210. When the external module 200 is located in the storage compartment 110, the second magnet 220 is located on the side close to the hatch 111, wherein the magnetic property of the second magnet 220 is greater than that of the first magnet 112. The magnetism is weak. When the hatch 111 is opened, the first magnet 112 is driven to move, and the second magnet 220 is connected to the module body 210. After the first magnet 112 moves, the second magnet 220 is driven to move by magnetic force, so that the module body 210 moves relative to the accommodating compartment 110 toward the hatch 111, thereby facilitating the removal of the module body 210. When the hatch 111 is closed and the module body 210 is completely placed in the accommodating compartment 110, the module body 210 fixes the second magnet 220 through the first magnet 112, thereby fixing the position of the module body 210 connected to the second magnet 220. The technical problem of inconvenient plugging and unplugging in the process of connecting the module and the host in the prior art is solved, and the technical effect of convenient plugging and unplugging of the module and the host is achieved.

[0032] Furthermore, the external module 200 also includes: a handle 230, which is located on one side of the module body 210 and is movably connected to one end of the side of the module body 210, and when the external module 200 is located in the accommodating compartment 110, the handle 230 is located between the first magnet 112 and the second magnet 220, and the material of the handle 230 is ferromagnetic. The handle 230 is axially connected to one end of the module body 210; the handle 230 and the external module 200 have: a first position relationship, the first position relationship is that the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in a closed state; when in the closed state, the second magnet 220 attracts the handle 230 and fixes the handle 230; a second position relationship, the second position relationship is that when the handle 230 is acted upon by the first magnet 112 and the pulling force, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in an open state, when the hatch 111 is acted upon by the pulling force, the first magnet 112 fixed on the hatch 111 is driven to move, because the handle 230 is ferromagnetic and the magnetism of the first magnet 112 is greater than that of the second magnet 220, when the first magnet 112 moves, the handle 230 will follow the first magnet 112 to expand with the axial connection end with the module body 210 as the center, that is, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in an open state. By opening the hatch 111 , the handle 230 is driven to the second position, thereby laying a solid foundation for conveniently pulling out the external module 200 later.

[0033] Furthermore, the hatch 111 is axially connected to the host body 100; the axial connection is connected through an axis, that is, the hatch 111 can be rotated in a certain direction through the axis, and the hatch 111 and the host body 100 have: a third position relationship, the third position relationship is that the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are in a closed state, when the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are in the third position relationship, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in a first position relationship; when the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are in a closed state, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in a closed state; when in the closed state, the second magnet 220 attracts the handle 230 to fix the handle 230, and at this time, the first magnet 112 interacts with the handle 230, thereby ensuring that the closed state of the hatch 111 and the host body 100 is stable. The fourth position relationship is that the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are in an open state. The open state includes at least the following situations: for example, when the hatch 111 is opened 45°, the handle 230 is in the same position as the hatch 111 and is also unfolded 45°; when the hatch 111 is opened 90°, the handle 230 can only be unfolded including but not limited to 45° through an axis or other fixing device.

[0034] Further, the handle 230 and the hatch 111 have: a fifth position relationship, in which the handle 230 is connected to the inner side of the hatch 111 under the action of the first magnet 112; and a sixth position relationship, in which the handle 230 is separated from the inner side of the hatch 111 by the attraction of the first magnet 112. The handle 230 and the hatch 111 have two position relationships, namely the fifth position relationship and the sixth position relationship, in which the handle 230 is connected to the hatch 111 under the action of the first magnet 112; and the sixth position relationship is the position relationship when the hatch 111 is unfolded beyond the pre-set unfolding angle of the handle 230 and the handle 230 is separated from the first magnet 112 or the hatch 111.

[0035] Further, the fourth position relationship includes: a seventh position relationship, the seventh position relationship is that there is a first angle between the hatch 111 and the host body 100, such as Figure 2As shown, when the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are in the seventh position relationship, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in the second position relationship, and the handle 230 and the hatch 111 are in the fifth position relationship. For example, the first angle is at least less than or equal to the preset deployment angle of the handle 230. When the hatch 111 and the host body 100 have the first angle, the handle 230 is in an open state relative to the external module 200, and the handle 230 is connected to the inner side of the hatch 111.

[0036] Furthermore, the fourth position relationship includes: an eighth position relationship, wherein the eighth position relationship is that a second angle is formed between the hatch 111 and the host body 100, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are in the eighth position relationship, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in the second position relationship, and the handle 230 and the hatch 111 are in the sixth position relationship. The second angle is greater than the first angle. Specifically, the second angle is greater than the preset expansion angle of the handle 230, and the eighth position relationship is the angle at which the hatch 111 is expanded relative to the host body 100 at the second angle. At this time, the handle 230 is expanded relative to the external module 200, and the expansion angle is the expansion angle preset by the handle 230. At this time, the handle 230 is separated from the inner side of the hatch 111.

[0037] When the external module 200 is completely placed in the accommodating compartment 110, the handle 230 is located between the first magnet 112 and the second magnet 220. At this time, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in a closed state, that is, the handle 230 and the external module 200 are in a first position relationship, and the hatch 111 and the host body 100 are also in a closed state, that is, the hatch 111 and the main body 100 are in a third position relationship. When the external module 200 is taken out, the hatch 111 is pulled, and the hatch 111 drives the first magnet 122 connected to the hatch 111 to move, and the first magnet 112 drives the handle 230 to move through the magnetic force. When the hatch 111 moves to have a first angle with the host body 111, the handle 230 also has an angle with respect to the external module 200, and the angle can be but is not limited to being equal to the first angle. At this time, the handle 230 has a fifth position relationship with the hatch 111. When the hatch 111 continues to expand to the first angle under the action of the pulling force, When the second angle is reached, the hatch 111 and the host body 100 have an eighth position relationship, and the handle 230 and the external module 200 are unfolded to a preset angle (the preset angle can be achieved through the existing technology and will not be elaborated here), and the handle 230 is separated from the inner side of the hatch 111; when the hatch 111 is unfolded at an angle greater than or equal to 90°, the external module 200 can be separated from the accommodating cabin 110 by pulling the handle 230, and the external module 200 and the host 100 are pulled out, thereby achieving the technical effect of convenient connection and plugging between the module and the host.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] The present application also provides a method for using an embedded module plug-in mechanism, wherein the method comprises:

[0040] An external module is obtained, the external module includes a module body, a second magnet and a handle, the handle is ferromagnetic, and the handle is adsorbed on the module body through the second magnet. When the external module needs to be connected, the hatch is pulled to a degree greater than or equal to 90°, the external module is placed in the accommodating cabin, and the hatch is closed; at this time, the hatch is adsorbed by the first magnet placed on the hatch to fix the hatch. When the external module is to be taken out, the hatch is pulled, and at this time the hatch rotates along the axis connected to the host body. At this time, the movement of the hatch drives the first magnet located on the hatch to move, and the first magnet drives the handle to move through magnetic force. When the angle of the handle is equal to the maximum angle preset by the handle, the handle stops moving and separates from the first magnet. At this time, the hatch continues to move. When the hatch is unfolded to a degree greater than or equal to 90°, the hatch is released, the handle is pulled, and the external module is taken out.
