In this embodiment, when the tray 100 is mounted on the chassis 20, the circuit board 40 on the tray 100 can be electrically connected to the motherboard 30 on the chassis 20 for signal transmission.

[0091] In this embodiment, the tray 100 can be installed into the chassis 20 in a fairly convenient and effortless manner. This will be explained below.

[0092] FIG. 2A is a perspective view of a tray of an electronic device. FIG. 1A FIG. 2B is an exploded view of the tray. FIG. 2A FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B The tray 100 comprises a tray body 110, a handle 120 and at least one first sliding piece 130. It is to be noted that in the present embodiment, two first sliding pieces 130 are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the tray body 110, and only the relative relationship between one of the first sliding pieces 130 and the tray body 110 will be described below.

[0093] As shown in FIG. 2B , the tray body 110 comprises a bottom wall 116, at least one side wall 111 (for example, two opposite side walls 111) connected to the bottom wall 116, an arc-shaped through slot 112 located at each side wall 111, and at least one first tray guide column 114 protruding from each side wall 111. In addition, the tray body 110 can further comprise a guide slot 113 extending from the lower edge of the side wall 111, and the guide slot 113 extends along a first axis A1.

[0094] The handle 120 comprises a force applying end 121, a pivot portion 122 away from the force applying end 121, and a handle guide column 124. The handle 120 is pivotally connected to the side wall 111 through the pivot portion 122. The handle guide column 124 is located on opposite sides of the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120, and the distance L1 between the handle guide column 124 and the handle 120 is less than the distance L2 between the force applying end 121 and the handle 120. FIG. 2B

[0095] The first sliding piece 130 comprises a first bending slot 132, a first groove 131 extending along a first axis A1, and a second groove 136 extending along a second axis A2. The first bending slot 132 comprises an inclined section 133 extending from the lower edge of the first sliding piece 130, a horizontal section 134 extending along the second axis A2, and an opening 1331. The opening 1331 is arranged at the inclined section 133 at the lower edge of the first sliding piece 130, the inclined section 133 has an angle relationship with the first axis A1, one end of the inclined section 133 is close to the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120 and away from the bottom wall 116 of the tray, the other end of the inclined section 133 is away from the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120 and close to the bottom wall 116 of the tray 100, and the two ends of the inclined section 133 have a distance difference along the first axis A1.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 2A ​​​The handle 120 can be rotated to an angle limited by the angle of the arc-shaped through slot 112 of the sidewall 111. In addition, the first disc body guide post 114 of the disc body 110 passes through the second groove 136 of the first sliding piece 130, so that the first sliding piece 130 is movably arranged along the second axis A2 on the sidewall 111.

[0097] In addition, in the present embodiment, the tray 100 further selectively comprises a linkage 140 and a second sliding piece 150. The second sliding piece 150 comprises a third groove 154 extending along the second axis A2, and the disc body 110 comprises a second disc body guide post 115 protruding from the sidewall 111. The second disc body guide post 115 of the disc body 110 passes through the third groove 154 of the second sliding piece 150, so that the second sliding piece 150 is movably arranged along the second axis A2 on the sidewall 111.

[0098] The linkage 140 is pivotally arranged on the sidewall 111. The linkage 140 is arranged between and linked with the first sliding piece 130 and the second sliding piece 150. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the linkage 140 comprises a gear 142, the first sliding piece 130 comprises a first rack 137, and the second sliding piece 150 comprises a second rack 152. The gear 142 is engaged with the first rack 137 and the second rack 152, and the first rack 137 and the second rack 152 are located on opposite sides of the gear 142.

[0099] The following will illustrate the movement of the first sliding piece 130 and the second sliding piece 150 relative to the disc body 110 in the process of rotating the handle 120 of the tray 100 from the vertical state to the horizontal state.

[0100] FIG. 2C-E is FIG. 2A a side view of the tray in the process of rotating the handle from the vertical state to the horizontal state. Please refer to FIG. 2C When the handle 120 of the tray 100 is vertical, the handle guide post 124 is located at an end of the arc-shaped through slot 112 of the sidewall 111 close to the bottom wall 116, and passes through the first groove 131 of the first sliding piece 130 close to the bottom wall 116. At this time, the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120 is only exposed to the first groove 131 of the first sliding piece 130, but does not interfere with the first sliding piece 130. In addition, in this state, the first disc body guide post 114 of the sidewall 111 is located at an end of the second groove 136 of the first sliding piece 130 away from the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120, and the second disc body guide post 115 of the sidewall 111 is located at an end of the third groove 154 of the second sliding piece 150 away from the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120.

[0101] Next, please refer to FIG. 2DThe handle 120 rotates about the pivot 122 as a center of rotation. During the rotation of the handle 120 toward the bottom wall 116 to about 45 degrees, the handle post 124 is relatively rotated away from the bottom wall 116 with respect to the pivot 122, and pushes the first slide 130 away from the pivot 122 of the handle 120 along the second axis A2.

[0102] At this time, the handle post 124 slides from one end of the arc-shaped slot 112 of the side wall 111 close to the bottom wall 116 to the middle position of the arc-shaped slot 112 of the side wall 111. The handle post 124 pushes against the wall surface of the first groove 131, so that the first slide 130 moves away from the pivot 122 (to the right) with respect to the side wall 111. The first disc post 114 of the side wall 111 moves from one end of the second groove 136 of the first slide 130 away from the pivot 122 to the end close to the pivot 122. Since the moving direction and path of the first slide 130 with respect to the side wall 111 are limited to the moving direction and path of the first disc post 114 with respect to the second groove 136, the first slide 130 can only move along the second axis A2 with respect to the side wall 111, and cannot move up and down with respect to the side wall 111 during this process.

[0103] At the same time, when the first slide 130 moves, the first rack 137 of the first slide 130 drives the gear 142 to rotate, and the gear 142 drives the second rack 152 of the second slide 150 to move in the opposite direction, so that the first slide 130 and the second slide 150 move in opposite directions along the second axis A2. At this time, the second disc post 115 of the side wall 111 moves from one end of the third groove 154 of the second slide 150 away from the pivot 122 to the end close to the pivot 122. Since the moving direction and path of the second slide 150 with respect to the side wall 111 are limited to the moving direction and path of the second disc post 115 with respect to the third groove 154, the second slide 150 can only move away from the pivot 122 (to the left) of the handle 120 along the second axis A2 with respect to the side wall 111 during this stage.

[0104] Please refer to FIG. 2E When the handle 120 is continuously rotated to reach the horizontal state, the handle post 124 slides from the middle position of the arc-shaped slot 112 of the side wall 111 to one end away from the bottom wall 116, and in this process, the handle post 124 continuously pushes the first slide 130 against the wall surface of the first groove 131, so that the first slide 130 continuously moves away from the pivot 122 of the handle 120 (to the right) along the second axis A2 with respect to the side wall 111.

[0105] The first rack 137 of the first slide 130 continues to drive the gear 142 to rotate, causing the second slide 150 to continue moving along the second axis A2 and in the opposite direction to the movement of the first slide 130 (to the left). Finally, the first disc guide post 114 of the sidewall 111 moves to one end of the second groove 136 of the first slide 130 near the pivot portion 122, and the second disc guide post 115 of the sidewall 111 moves to one end of the third groove 154 of the second slide 150 near the pivot portion 122.

[0106] As can be seen from the above, when the handle 120 is in a vertical state, the handle guide post 124 of the handle 120 is located at one end (lower end) of the arc-shaped through groove 112 near the lower edge of the first slide 130. When the handle 120 is in a horizontal state, the handle guide post 124 of the handle 120 is located at the other end (upper end) of the arc-shaped through groove 112 away from the lower edge of the first slide 130. In addition, during the process of the handle 120 changing from a vertical state to a horizontal state relative to the disc body 110, the handle guide post 124 will push the first slide 130 to move relative to the disc body 110 along the second axis A2, and the second slide 150 will be driven by the linkage 140 to move in the opposite direction to the movement of the first slide 130.

[0107] The following section will continue to describe how, when the tray 100 is placed in the chassis 20, the tray 100 is fixed to the chassis 20 by rotating the handle 120. The operation of rotating the tray 100 itself from a vertical state to a horizontal state will not be described in detail. The following section mainly describes the relative relationship between the tray 100 and the chassis 20.

[0108] FIG. 3A It is FIG. 1A A side view showing the tray placed in the chassis with the handle in a vertical position. See also... FIG. 3A The tray 100 is detachably mounted on the chassis 20 along the first axis A1. Specifically, the chassis 20 includes at least one first chassis guide post 21 and at least one second chassis guide post 24 located on the side. When the tray 100 is moved (downward) along the first axis A1 toward the bottom surface 201 of the chassis 20 and placed on the chassis 20, and the handle 120 is in a vertical position, the first chassis guide post 21 passes through the opening 1331 of the first bending groove 132 and enters the inclined section 133 of the first bending groove 132 near the lower edge, and abuts against the inner wall of the inclined section 133 of the first bending groove 132, so that the tray 100 will not temporarily move relative to the chassis 20 along the first axis A1 toward the bottom surface 201 of the chassis 20 due to gravity. At this time, the second chassis guide post 24 passes through the guide groove 113 of the side wall 111 of the tray 100.

[0109] A motherboard 30 may be mounted on the bottom surface 201 of the chassis 20, and the motherboard 30 includes a first connector 32. A circuit board 40 may be mounted on the tray 100. FIG. 1AThe second connector 42 of the circuit board 40 extends downward through the tray 100. When the tray 100 is placed on the chassis 20 and the handle 120 is in a vertical position, the second connector 42 of the circuit board 40 is located above the first connector 32 of the motherboard 30, but they are not yet connected to each other.

[0110] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the tray 100 and the chassis 20 employ a dual alignment technique to ensure that, during the installation of the tray 100 onto the chassis 20, the second connector 42 of the circuit board 40 can be accurately inserted into the first connector 32 of the motherboard 30. Specifically, the first alignment is achieved through coarse alignment between the second chassis guide post 24 of the chassis 20 and the guide groove 113 of the side wall 111 of the tray 100.

[0111] FIG. 3B This is a partial 3D diagram showing the tray being placed in the chassis. Please refer to [link / reference]. FIG. 3B The bottom wall 116 of the tray 100 and the chassis 20 each include a positioning post 22 and a positioning slot 118 corresponding to the positioning post 22. The positioning post 22 extends along the first axis A1 and can be aligned and engaged with the positioning slot 118. Specifically, in this embodiment, the chassis 20 includes a positioning post 22 protruding from the bottom surface 201, and the bottom wall 116 includes a positioning seat 117 protruding below the bottom wall 116. The positioning seat 117 has a positioning slot 118 and extends along the first axis A1. Therefore, the second alignment is achieved through fine alignment between the positioning post 22 of the chassis 20 and the positioning slot 118 of the tray 100.

[0112] FIG. 3C yes FIG. 3A A side view of the electronic device when the handle is turned. (See also...) FIG. 3C When the handle 120 is turned to about 45 degrees, the handle guide post 124 pushes the first slide 130 against the wall next to the first groove 131, so that the first slide 130 moves relative to the side wall 111 along the second axis A2 away from the pivot 122 of the handle 120 (to the right).

[0113] As the first slider 130 moves relative to the side wall 111 of the tray 110, one end of the inclined section 133 approaches the pivot 122 of the handle 120 and moves away from the bottom wall 116 of the tray 100, while the other end moves away from the pivot 122 of the handle 120 and approaches the bottom wall 116 of the tray 100. When the first slider 130 moves away from the pivot 122 of the handle 120, the first chassis guide post 21 moves relative to the end of the inclined section 133 that approaches the pivot 122 of the handle 120. Because there is a distance difference between the two ends of the inclined section 133 on the first axis A1, the first slider 130 moves toward the bottom surface 201 of the chassis 20, and drives the tray 110 to move toward the bottom surface 201 (downward) of the chassis 20.

[0114] Furthermore, since the guide groove 113 of the side wall 111 of the tray 100 extends along the first axis A1, and the second chassis guide post 24 of the chassis 20 is located within the guide groove 113 of the side wall 111, the tray body 110 and the chassis 20 can only move along the first axis A1. Therefore, during the process of rotating the handle 120 from a vertical state to approximately 45 degrees, the tray body 110 of the tray 100 moves (downwards) relative to the chassis 20 along the first axis A1 toward the bottom surface 201 of the chassis 20, causing the second connector 42 of the circuit board 40 to be inserted downwards into the first connector 32 of the motherboard 30.

[0115] FIG. 3D Is FIG. 3C A partial 3D schematic diagram in the desired state. Please refer to [link / reference]. FIG. 3D As the handle 120 is rotated from a vertical position to approximately 45 degrees, the positioning pin 22 of the chassis 20 continues to extend into the positioning slot 118 of the positioning seat 117 of the disk body 110 to precisely guide the disk body 110 to move (downward) toward the bottom surface 201 of the chassis 20.

[0116] FIG. 3E yes FIG. 3A A side view of the electronic device with the handle in a horizontal position. (See also...) FIG. 3E The handle 120 is rotated from the 45-degree position to a horizontal position. During this process, the first chassis guide post 21 moves along the horizontal section 134 of the first bending groove 132 (parallel to the second axis A2). Therefore, the tray 100 and the chassis 20 will not move along the first axis A1 (in... FIG. 3C-E During this phase, tray 100 will not move downwards relative to chassis 20.

[0117] The first slider 130 and the second slider 150 continue to move in opposite directions away from each other. In this embodiment, the first slider 130 includes a first stop 135, and the second slider 150 includes a second stop 156. The first stop 135 and the second stop 156 are, for example, two stop surfaces. The chassis 20 includes a first positioning member 25 and a second positioning member 26. The first positioning member 25 and the second positioning member 26 are, for example, two protrusions or two rivets.

[0118] When the handle 120 is in a horizontal position, the first chassis guide post 21 is located at one end of the horizontal section 134 near the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120. The first stop portion 135 of the first slide 130 and the second stop portion 156 of the second slide 150 respectively abut against the lower part of the first positioning member 25 and the second positioning member 26 of the chassis 20. That is, the first positioning member 25 and the second positioning member 26 of the chassis 20 are used as limiting members to prevent the first slide 130 and the second slide 150 of the tray 100 from disengaging from the chassis 20. Therefore, when the handle 120 is in a horizontal position, the tray 100 cannot be directly disengaged from the chassis 20.

[0119] FIG. 3F Is FIG. 3E A partial 3D schematic diagram in the desired state. Please refer to [link / reference]. FIG. 3F In this embodiment, one of the handle 120 and the side wall 111 includes a protrusion 119, and the other includes a locking hole 126 corresponding to the protrusion 119. Specifically, the handle 120 includes the locking hole 126, and the side wall 111 of the disc body 110 includes the protrusion 119. When the handle 120 is turned to the horizontal position, the protrusion 119 of the side wall 111 of the disc body 110 will enter the locking hole 126 of the handle 120, thereby positioning the handle 120 on the side wall 111 of the disc body 110.

[0120] In addition, by FIG. 3C , FIG. 3E and FIG. 3F As can be seen, the second chassis guide post 24 of the chassis 20 abuts against the top of the guide groove 113 on the side wall 111 of the tray 110. In other words, the second chassis guide post 24 of the chassis 20, in addition to guiding, also serves to support the tray 100.

[0121] It is worth mentioning that, such as FIG. 2B As shown, in this embodiment, since the distance L2 (lever arm) between the force-applying end 121 and the handle 120 is greater than the distance L1 (lever arm) between the handle guide post 124 and the handle 120, the user only needs to apply a little force to make the handle guide post 124 push the first slide 130, thus saving considerable effort in the overall process. In addition, the tray 100 can be easily disassembled and fixed to the chassis 20 in the above manner, greatly saving the time required for fixing with screws as is known in conventional methods.

[0122] To remove tray 100 from chassis 20, simply move handle 120 as follows: FIG. 3E , FIG. 3C , FIG. 3A The tray 100 rotates sequentially from a horizontal to a vertical position, allowing it to move upward relative to the chassis 20, thereby disengaging the second connector 42 of the circuit board 40 from the first connector 32 of the motherboard 30.

[0123] Another embodiment of a tray 100a is described below. The tray 100a is identical or similar to the tray 100 of FIG. 2A-E The same or similar elements of the tray 100a are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals, and will not be described again. Only the main differences are described.

[0124] FIG. 4A is a perspective view of a tray according to another embodiment of the present application. FIG. 4B-D is FIG. 4A is a side view of a tray handle rotating from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B The main difference between the tray 100a of the present embodiment and the tray 100 of FIG. 2A is the type of the linkage 140a and the way the first slide 130a drives the second slide 150a.

[0125] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the linkage 140a includes a link 144. As shown in FIG. 4B , the link 144 includes a pivot 147, a link groove 145, and a link guide post 146. The link 144 is pivotally connected to the side wall 111 of the tray body 110 via the pivot 147, and the link groove 145 and the link guide post 146 are respectively arranged at two ends of the pivot 147. In the present embodiment, the link groove 145 is arranged at one end of the link 144 close to the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120, and the link guide post 146 is arranged at one end of the link 144 away from the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120.

[0126] The first slide 130a includes a slide guide post 138 arranged in the link groove 145, and the second slide 150a includes a second bending groove 158 in which the link guide post 146 is arranged. One end of the second bending groove 158 is close to the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120 and away from the bottom wall 116 of the tray 100, and the other end of the second bending groove 158 is away from the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120 and close to the bottom wall 116 of the tray 100. The two ends of the second bending groove 158 have a distance difference along the first axis A1.

[0127] As shown in FIG. 4C , when the handle 120 is in the vertical state, the slide guide post 138 of the first slide 130a is located at one end (left end) of the link groove 145 of the link 144 away from the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120, and the link guide post 146 is located at one end (left end) of the second bending groove 158 of the second slide 150a away from the pivot connection portion 122 of the handle 120.

[0128] Please refer to FIG. 4BWhen the handle 120 is rotated to about 45 degrees toward the bottom wall 116 of the tray 100a, the handle guide post 124 is slid upward from one end of the arc-shaped through slot 112 of the side wall 111 to the middle portion of the arc-shaped through slot 112 of the side wall 111, and pushes the wall beside the first slide 130a in the first groove 131, so that the first slide 130a moves relative to the side wall 111. At this time, the slide guide post 138 of the first slide 130a moves (rightward) away from the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120. At this time, the slide guide post 138 is located in the middle portion of the link groove 145 of the link 144.

[0129] Comparing FIG. 4C with FIG. 4D It can be seen that the slide guide post 138 of the first slide 130a pushes against the wall of the link groove 145 of the link 144, so that the link 144 rotates in the opposite direction of the handle rotation. The link guide post 146 is thus driven to push against the wall of the second bent groove 158 of the second slide 150a, and moves to the middle portion of the second bent groove 158, so that the second slide 150a moves (leftward) away from the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120.

[0130] Next, referring to FIG. 1A , during the process of continuously rotating the handle 120 to the horizontal state, the first slide 130a and the second slide 150a continue to move away from each other along the second axis A2. Finally, the slide guide post 138 of the first slide 130a moves to the end (right end) of the link groove 145 of the link 144 close to the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120, and the link guide post 146 moves to the end (right end) of the second bent groove 158 of the second slide 150a close to the pivot portion 122 of the handle 120.

[0131] Similarly, when the tray 100a of the present embodiment is placed in the case 20 as shown in ​ , the labor-saving, quick and convenient disassembly effect can also be achieved. Of course, the type of the link 140a and the way in which the first slide 130a drives the second slide 150a are not limited to this.

[0132] In summary, the first sliding piece of the tray is movably arranged on the sidewall of the tray body, the handle is pivotally connected to the sidewall of the tray body, and the handle guide post passes through the arc-shaped slot of the tray body and the first groove of the first sliding piece. Thus, when the handle is rotated relative to the sidewall of the tray body, the handle guide post can push against the first sliding piece on the wall surface of the first groove, so as to move the first sliding piece relative to the sidewall of the tray body. When the tray is placed on the case, the first case guide post is movably arranged in the first bending slot, and the inner edge of the first bending slot cooperates with the first case guide post during the movement of the first sliding piece relative to the sidewall of the tray body, so as to mount the tray on the case along the first axis. Similarly, rotating the handle in the reverse direction can move the tray out of the case. Thus, the tray can be conveniently mounted and dismounted on the case.
