Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of computer hard disk installation technology, and specifically refers to a hard disk tray assembly for installing and removing hard disks on a server. Background Technology

[0002] In the computer field, hard drives are generally used for data storage. In devices that use multiple hard drives, such as servers, hard drive arrays are used to run multiple hard drives simultaneously and store data together. To facilitate the installation and removal of hard drives from server racks, drive brackets are currently used as the mounting medium, supporting the hard drives as they are installed on the server rack.

[0003] In existing technology, server racks have mounting slots for hard drives, which are installed in their corresponding slots via trays. Each hard drive tray has a built-in handle, which serves as both a lever for pulling the tray and an unlocking mechanism between the tray and the rack. By operating the handle on the tray, the tray can be unlocked, allowing the tray and hard drive to be removed from the rack.

[0004] However, hard drives are generally not removed after being installed in the rack; they are only removed for repair when a hard drive fails. Therefore, the handles are usually idle, only needed for removal, and are an integral part of the hard drive bay, thus occupying installation space. In practical applications, a server rack typically has multiple hard drive bays, each with its own handle. The handles on all these bays collectively occupy a significant amount of rack space. Therefore, the current hard drive bay structure results in a substantial waste of space and resources on the server. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a hard drive tray assembly to solve the technical problem of wasted space caused by the built-in handles on existing hard drive trays.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a hard disk tray assembly, comprising:

[0007] A bracket body for carrying hard drives and mounting them on a server rack, the bracket body having latches for locking onto the rack;

[0008] A handle is detachably connected to the bracket body via a mounting structure;

[0009] A triggering mechanism is provided for unlocking the latch. The triggering mechanism includes a top post disposed on the handle and a transmission component disposed on the bracket body. When the handle is connected to the bracket body, the top post can simultaneously push the transmission component to drive the latch to be released from the frame.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the hard drive tray assembly provided in this application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the hard drive tray assembly of this application separates the tray body and the handle into two independent parts. The tray body only serves as a bracket to support the hard drive. The handle, as a disassembly tool, is detachably mounted on the tray body through a mounting structure, so that the handle is only connected to the tray body for operation when in use. This avoids the handle occupying server space, and only the installation space of the tray body is reserved on the server rack, effectively solving the problem of significant waste of server space resources caused by traditional hard drive trays with built-in handles.

[0011] The hard drive tray assembly of this application also includes a trigger mechanism for simultaneously unlocking the latch between the tray body and the rack when the handle is connected to the tray body. This trigger mechanism includes a top post on the handle and a transmission component on the tray body. When the handle is connected to the tray body, the top post on the handle simultaneously pushes the transmission component on the tray body, causing the transmission component to simultaneously unlock the latch from the rack, allowing the user to directly remove the tray body from the rack using the handle. Thus, the user completes the unlocking operation simultaneously when the handle is connected to the tray body. Even with this separate handle and tray body structure, the connection and unlocking actions can be completed in one step, making it convenient to use, providing smooth operation, and effectively improving disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0012] The structure of the bracket body is improved. One side of the bracket body has a connecting seat for connecting to the handle. The transmission component and the latch are disposed adjacent to the connecting seat. The latch is an elastic body that can be bent and deformed by the transmission component. The latch protrudes from the side of the connecting seat and is fastened to the server rack. The connecting seat has a guide hole for the insertion of the top post and triggering the transmission component. The guide hole corresponds to the position of the top post on the handle. Thus, the connecting seat on the bracket body serves both as a locking point to the server rack and as a connection point to the handle, preventing the assembly structure of the handle and the bracket body from easily affecting the hard drive mounted on the bracket body. The guide hole on the connecting seat guides the top post on the handle to the transmission component when the handle is connected to the connecting seat, and the top post synchronously triggers the transmission component to push the latch to unlock, thereby improving the compatibility between the handle and the bracket body and effectively ensuring the synchronicity of the connection and unlocking actions of the handle and the bracket body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the transmission member and the latch have mutually cooperating abutting mechanisms. The abutting mechanism includes a first abutting portion on the transmission member and a second abutting portion on the latch, with mutually abutting guide ramps on the first and second abutting portions. Thus, by utilizing the cooperation of the guide ramps, linear movement occurs between the transmission member and the latch, causing the latch to bend and deform, thereby separating from its latched state with the frame and unlocking it. This cooperative structure is advantageous for setting up and completing corresponding linkage operations in narrow spaces, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the linkage operation, and saving space.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first abutment is a pair of parallel hooks extending from the transmission member, with the guide slope on the inner side of the pair of hooks; the second abutment is a latch on the latch, with a pair of inclined guide blocks on the latch, the surface of the guide blocks forming the guide slope; the pair of hooks are fastened to the latch, and the guide slope on the hooks abuts against the surface of the guide blocks. This ensures a tight connection between the first and second abutments, which helps to shorten the stroke of the pushing motion between the first and second abutments. When the top post on the handle triggers the transmission member to move, the transmission member synchronously pushes against the second abutment on the latch via the first abutment and the second abutment. Specifically, the hooks on the transmission member and the guide blocks on the latch push against each other with their guide slopes, causing the latch to bend and deform to achieve the unlocking operation, effectively improving trigger sensitivity and synchronization.

[0015] In one embodiment, the triggering mechanism further includes a first elastic element for resetting the transmission component. The first elastic element is disposed at the bottom of the guide hole of the connecting seat and elastically supports the transmission component. This allows the latch to be in an unlocked state when the handle is connected to the bracket body, facilitating the user to install or remove the bracket body from the frame using the handle. When the handle is removed from the bracket body, the first elastic element on the bracket body pushes the transmission component to reset, simultaneously causing the transmission component to deform and automatically lock the latch onto the frame, thus synchronously achieving the locking operation.

[0016] The handle structure is improved by including a grip portion for hand-holding and bent portions connected to both sides of the grip portion. The bent portions on both sides bend and extend in the same direction, and each extended end of the bent portions on both sides is provided with a top post. The connecting seat includes two connecting shoulders corresponding to the positions of the bent portions on both sides of the handle. Each connecting shoulder on both sides has a guide hole, and at least one connecting shoulder on one side is provided with the transmission component and the locking buckle. Thus, the grip portion and the bent portions on both sides of the grip portion form a crescent-shaped symmetrical handle structure. The handle does not need to be oriented to the bracket body; as long as the bent portions on both sides of the handle correspond to the positions of the connecting shoulders on both sides of the bracket body, a connection operation can be performed, and the top post will simultaneously trigger the unlocking operation, effectively preventing mistaken identification and improving operational convenience.

[0017] In one embodiment, the connector is provided with heat dissipation holes, which are distributed between the connector shoulders on both sides to avoid affecting the connection between the handle and the bracket body.

[0018] The mounting structure between the handle and the bracket body is improved. This structure includes a button on the handle and a pair of hooks connected to the button. Both sides of the connecting shoulder have slots for the hooks to engage. The button triggers the pair of hooks to release them from the slots. Thus, when the handle is connected to the connecting seat of the bracket body, the pair of hooks on the handle simultaneously engage with the slots on the connecting seat. This is equivalent to having a clamp on the handle to firmly secure the connecting seat, effectively ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle and the bracket body, allowing the user to smoothly grip the bracket body for operation.

[0019] In one embodiment, each pair of hooks includes a lever and a hook portion on the extension end of the lever. The connecting shoulders on both sides are provided with hook holes located within the hook grooves. The hook portions of the pair of hooks can simultaneously engage with the hook holes. The levers of the pair of hooks are fixed inside the handle via pivots. The two sides of the button are respectively connected to the levers of the hooks for transmission. Thus, the pair of hooks on the handle constitutes a clamping structure capable of synchronous movement. When the button is pressed by hand, it synchronously drives the pair of hooks to expand, allowing the hook portions of the pair of hooks to simultaneously disengage from the hook holes in the hook grooves, thereby facilitating the removal of the handle from the connecting seat of the bracket body.

[0020] In one embodiment, the mounting structure further includes a second elastic element disposed within the handle. The second elastic element is supported at one end of the lever that drives the button, and is compressed by the end of the lever when the button actuates the pair of hooks. Thus, by providing a second elastic element on the handle, the pair of hooks on the handle maintain an inward clamping force to ensure the fastening strength and to ensure the stable connection between the handle and the bracket body.

[0039] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0041] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0042] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a server rack M typically has mounting slots N for hard drives, which are installed in their corresponding slots N via brackets. The hard drive brackets have latches X on their sides for securing them to the rack M. Figure 2 As shown, traditional hard drive trays come with a handle, which is similar to a pull handle. When the handle Y is pulled open, the aforementioned latch X is unlocked, and the user can directly pull the entire hard drive tray out of the rack through the handle Y to complete the disassembly operation.

[0044] The applicant discovered that in practical applications, hard drive trays, after being installed in the rack, are generally not removed; they are only removed for repair when a hard drive malfunctions. Therefore, the built-in handles on the trays are normally unused and only needed for removal. Figure 3 As shown, handle Y is an integral part of the hard drive tray and cannot be disassembled. Handle Y occupies installation space on the rack.

[0045] Server racks typically house multiple hard drives, each with its own handle. These handles collectively occupy a significant amount of rack space. Therefore, the current rack structure results in a substantial waste of server space and resources.

[0046] In addition, from Figure 1 As can be seen above, the handles on each hard drive tray are located on the external opening of rack M, which is the optimal position for the ventilation holes. However, the handles on the trays also need to be located on this side for easy user operation, and these handles block or partially block the ventilation holes. Therefore, the current handle structure on the trays also obstructs the heat dissipation structure, affecting heat dissipation.

[0047] In response to the above situation, the applicant has painstakingly researched and designed a new type of hard drive tray structure, breaking away from the inherent thinking of industry professionals (which refers to the structure of traditional hard drive trays with built-in handles). The applicant has creatively proposed a new type of hard drive tray component, considering setting the tray and handle as two independent parts that are only combined for operation during use. This solves the technical problem that traditional hard drive tray structures easily lead to the waste of space and resources on servers. The hard drive tray component of this application will be described in detail below.

[0048] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The hard drive tray assembly includes a tray body 1, a handle 2, and a triggering mechanism.

[0049] The bracket body 1 is used to carry the hard drive and install it on the server rack. The bracket body 1 has a latch 11 for locking onto the rack. In this embodiment, the latch 11 can be fastened and fixed with a latching part on the server rack. Figure 1 As shown, the "fastening part on the frame" here can be understood as the fastening port K on the frame, or other structures that allow the latch 11 to be fastened and fixed.

[0050] Handle 2 is an independent component separate from the bracket body 1. Handle 2 is detachably connected to the bracket body 1 via a mounting structure, and is only installed on the bracket body 1 for operation when in use. The mounting structure can be a snap-fit ​​structure or a magnetic structure, as long as it can fix the handle 2 to the bracket body 1, no specific limitation is made here.

[0051] The trigger mechanism is used to unlock the latch 11 when the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1. Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The triggering mechanism includes a top post 21 mounted on the handle 2 and a transmission component 12 mounted on the bracket body 1. When the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1, the top post 21 on the handle 2 synchronously pushes the transmission component 12, causing the latch 11 to disengage from the frame. "Unlocking" here can be understood as the latch 11 separating from the fastening part of the frame to achieve unlocking.

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the hard drive tray assembly provided in this application separates the tray body 1 and the handle 2 into two independent parts. The tray body 1 serves only as a support for the hard drive. The handle 2 serves as a disassembly tool and is detachably mounted on the tray body 1 through a mounting structure. This allows the handle 2 to be connected to the tray body 1 only when in use, avoiding the handle occupying server space. Only the installation space of the tray body 1 is reserved on the server rack, effectively solving the problem of significant waste of server space and resources caused by traditional hard drive trays with built-in handles 2.

[0053] The biggest challenge in separating the bracket body 1 and the handle 2 is how to synchronously activate the latch 11 on the bracket body 1. The conventional approach requires two steps: first, connecting the handle 2 to the bracket body 1; second, unlocking the latch 11. Only after both steps are completed can the handle 2 be used to remove the bracket body 1. Clearly, this is cumbersome, inefficient in assembly and disassembly, and inconvenient to use.

[0054] The hard drive tray assembly of this application also includes a triggering mechanism for simultaneously unlocking the latch 11 between the tray body 1 and the rack when the handle 2 is connected to the tray body 1. This triggering mechanism includes a top post 21 on the handle 2 and a transmission component 12 on the tray body 1. When the handle 2 is connected to the tray body 1, the top post 21 on the handle 2 can simultaneously push the transmission component 12 on the tray body 1, causing the transmission component 12 to simultaneously drive the latch 11 to unlock from the rack, allowing the user to directly remove the tray body 1 from the rack using the handle 2. Thus, the user completes the unlocking operation simultaneously when the handle 2 is connected to the tray body 1. Even with this structure where the handle 2 and the tray body 1 are separately configured, the connection and unlocking actions can be completed in one step, making it convenient to use, providing smooth operation, and effectively improving disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, since the hard drive tray assembly of this application separates the tray body 1 and the handle 2 into two independent parts, the handle 2 can be used as a disassembly and assembly tool. The handle 2 is only connected to the tray body 1 for operation during use. On one hand, this improves usability, allowing users to operate multiple tray bodies 1 using only one handle 2, making operation convenient. On the other hand, it avoids obstructing the sides of the tray body 1, allowing for more ventilation holes on the sides of the tray body 1, thereby improving heat dissipation.

[0056] Specifically, regarding the connection and triggering structure between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1, please refer to the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The bracket body 1 has a connecting seat 3 on one side for connecting to the handle 2, and the aforementioned transmission member 12 and the latch 11 are disposed adjacent to the connecting seat 3.

[0057] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown (the arrow in the figure indicates the deformation trajectory of the latch 11), the latch 11 is preferably an elastic body that can be bent and deformed when pushed by the transmission member 12. The latch 11 protrudes from the side of the connecting seat 3 and is fastened to the server rack.

[0058] The connector 3 is provided with a guide hole 31 corresponding to the position of the top post 21 on the handle 2. When the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1, the top post 21 on the handle 2 is simultaneously inserted into the guide hole 31 of the connector 3 and accurately contacts the transmission component 12, triggering the transmission component 12 to shift and push the latch 11, causing the latch 11 to bend and deform, and move away from the server rack to release the latch and realize the unlocking operation.

[0059] Therefore, a connecting seat 3 is provided on the bracket body 1. The connecting seat 3 serves as both a locking part with the server rack and a connection part with the handle 2, preventing the assembly structure of the handle 2 and the bracket body 1 from easily affecting the hard drive mounted on the bracket body 1. A guide hole 31 is provided on the connecting seat 3, so that when the handle 2 is connected to the connecting seat 3, the top post 21 on the handle 2 is guided to the transmission component 12, and the top post 21 synchronously triggers the transmission component 12 to push the locking buckle 11 to complete the unlocking, thereby improving the compatibility between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1 and effectively ensuring the synchronicity of the connection and unlocking actions of the handle 2 and the bracket body 1.

[0060] To improve the triggering sensitivity of the triggering mechanism, in one embodiment of this application, the mating structure between the transmission member 12 and the latch 11 is improved. Please refer to the following: Figure 8 and Figure 9 The transmission member 12 and the latch 11 have mutually cooperating abutting mechanisms. The abutting mechanism includes a first abutting part 120 provided on the transmission member 12 and a second abutting part 110 provided on the latch 11. The first abutting part 120 and the second abutting part 110 have mutually abutting guide slopes.

[0061] In this embodiment, the transmission member 12 is displaced under the push of the top column 21, so that the first contact part 120 presses against the second contact part 110 of the latch 11, thereby driving the latch 11 to retract into the connecting seat 3, so that the latch 11 separates from the frame and releases the latch.

[0062] In this way, by utilizing the guide ramp, linear movement occurs between the transmission component 12 and the latch 11, causing the latch 11 to bend and deform, thereby separating from the latched state with the frame and unlocking the device. This type of mechanism is advantageous for setting up and completing corresponding linkage operations in narrow spaces, effectively ensuring the accuracy of linkage operations, and saving space.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first contact portion 120 is preferably a pair of hooks 121 extending parallel to each other on the transmission member 12, and the inner side of the pair of hooks 121 is provided with a first guide slope 122. The second contact portion 110 is a latch 111 on the latch 11, and the latch 111 has a pair of guide blocks 112 arranged at an angle, and the surface of the guide blocks 112 forms a second guide slope 113. The pair of hooks 121 are fastened to the latch 111, and the first guide slope 122 on the hooks 121 abuts against the second guide slope 113 on the surface of the guide blocks 112.

[0064] This ensures a tight connection between the first contact part 120 and the second contact part 110, which helps to shorten the stroke of the pushing motion between them. When the top post 21 on the handle 2 triggers the movement of the transmission member 12, the transmission member 12 pushes synchronously with the second contact part 110 on the latch 11 through the first contact part 120. Specifically, the hook 121 on the transmission member 12 and the guide block 112 on the latch 11 push against each other with a guide slope, causing the latch 11 to bend and deform to achieve the unlocking operation, effectively improving the trigger sensitivity and synchronization.

[0065] In other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the first contact part 120 can also preferably be a slope or triangular protrusion on the transmission member 12, and the second contact part 110 can also preferably be a slope or triangular protrusion on the latch 11. The two push and cooperate, which can also make the latch 11 bend and deform, so as to realize the synchronous unlocking operation when the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1.

[0066] Preferably, in one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 8 The triggering mechanism also includes a first elastic element 32 for resetting the transmission element 12. The first elastic element 32 is disposed at the bottom of the guide hole 31 of the connecting seat 3 and elastically supports the transmission element 12.

[0067] When the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1, the push post 21 on the handle 2 extends into the guide hole 31 of the connecting seat 3 and pushes the transmission component 12 to move towards the bottom of the guide hole 31, compressing the first elastic element 32. When the handle 2 is removed from the bracket body 1, the push post 21 on the handle 2 moves out of the guide hole 31 of the connecting seat 3. Without the pressure of the push post 21, the first elastic element 32 of the transmission component 12 returns to its original position, thus resetting the transmission component 12. At this time, since the transmission component 12 is linked to the latch 11, the transmission component 12 also drives the latch 11 to return to its original position during the resetting process, so that the latch 11 is locked back on the frame.

[0068] This design ensures that when the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1, the latch 11 is in the unlocked state, allowing the user to easily install or remove the bracket body 1 from the frame using the handle 2. When the handle 2 is removed from the bracket body 1, the first elastic element 32 on the bracket body 1 pushes the transmission element 12 to reset, simultaneously causing the transmission element 12 to trigger the latch 11 to deform and automatically lock onto the frame, thus achieving a synchronous locking operation. The structure is simple and easy to use, further improving the synchronization of connection and unlocking between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1.

[0069] Regarding the mating structure between the handle 2 and the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1, please refer to one embodiment of this application. Figure 10 and Figure 11The handle 2 includes a grip portion 22 for a person to hold and a bent portion 23 connected to both sides of the grip portion 22. The bent portions 23 on both sides bend and extend in the same direction, and the aforementioned top post 21 is provided on the extended ends of both bent portions 23.

[0070] The connecting seat 3 includes connecting shoulders 33 on both sides, which correspond to the positions of the bent portions 23 on both sides of the handle 2. Each connecting shoulder 33 has a guide hole 31, and at least one connecting shoulder 33 has the aforementioned transmission component 12 and latch 11. The guide holes 31 on both connecting shoulders 33 allow the top posts 21 on the bent portions 23 on both sides of the handle 2 to extend into, or simultaneously trigger the transmission component 12 and latch 11.

[0071] Thus, the handle 22 and the bent parts 23 on both sides of the handle 2 form a crescent-shaped symmetrical grip structure. The handle 2 does not need to be oriented to the bracket body 1. As long as the bent parts 23 on both sides of the handle 2 correspond to the positions of the connecting shoulders 33 on both sides of the bracket body 1, the connection operation can be performed, and the top column 21 will be triggered to unlock simultaneously, which effectively prevents fooling and improves the convenience of operation.

[0072] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11 As shown, the connecting seat 3 is provided with heat dissipation holes 34. These heat dissipation holes 34 preferably form a heat dissipation grid structure and are distributed between the connecting shoulders 33 on both sides, effectively avoiding affecting the connection between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1.

[0073] For the installation structure between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1, please refer to the embodiments of this application. Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The mounting structure includes a button 24 on the handle 2 and a pair of hooks 25 connected to the button 24. Both sides of the connecting shoulder 33 of the connecting base 3 have latching grooves 35 for the hooks 25 to engage. In this embodiment, as... Figure 11 As shown, the buckle groove 35 and the guide hole 31 are respectively opened on the connecting shoulders 33 on both sides of the connecting seat 3. When the handle 2 is connected to the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1, the pair of buckles 25 are respectively inserted into the buckle groove 35 of the connecting shoulders 33 on both sides of the connecting seat 3 to fasten and fix it.

[0074] Button 24 is located on the grip part 22 of handle 2. During disassembly, button 24 is used to trigger the pair of hooks 25 to release them from the latch groove 35 on the connector 3, so that handle 2 can be separated from connector 3.

[0075] Therefore, when the handle 2 is connected to the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1, the pair of hooks 25 on the handle 2 will simultaneously engage with the buckle grooves 35 of the connecting seat 3. This is equivalent to setting a clamp on the handle 2 to clamp and fix the connecting seat 3, effectively ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1, allowing the user to smoothly grasp the bracket body 1 for corresponding operations using the handle 2.

[0076] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figure 12 and Figure 13 Each of the two hooks 25 on the handle 2 includes a lever 251 and a hook portion 252 on the extension end of the lever 251. The connecting shoulders 33 on both sides of the connecting seat 3 are provided with buckle holes 351 located within buckle grooves 35. When the handle 2 is connected to the bracket body 1, the extension ends of the levers 251 of the two hooks 25 are inserted into the buckle grooves 35 of the connecting shoulders 33 on both sides, and the hook portions 252 simultaneously engage with the buckle holes 351.

[0077] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the levers 251 on the pair of hooks 25 are fixed inside the handle 2 by a pivot. The levers 251 are set inside the handle 2 with a pivot portion 250 and can rotate with the pivot portion 250.

[0078] Both sides of button 24 are respectively connected to lever 251 of hook 25 for transmission. In this embodiment, "transmission connection" means that both ends of button 24 simultaneously push the end of lever 251 to achieve transmission. In other embodiments, a rotating shaft connection can also be used.

[0079] In this way, the pair of hooks 25 can move in a lever manner inside the handle 2, so that the hook part 252 extending into the buckle groove 35 on the hook 25 can be separated from the buckle hole 351 at the same time.

[0080] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the handle 2 has a movable cavity 26 inside to accommodate the button 24 and a pair of hooks 25. The movable cavity 26 is designed to cooperate with the lever movement of the pair of hooks 25. Specifically, the movable cavity 26 is a channel that passes through the extension ends of the bent portions 23 on both sides of the handle 2, so that the extension ends of the pair of hooks 25 pass out of the handle 2 from the extension ends of the bent portions 23 on both sides, so as to extend into the buckle grooves 35 of the connecting shoulders 33 on both sides of the connecting seat 3.

[0081] Thus, the pair of hooks 25 on the handle 2 form a clamp structure that can move synchronously. When the button 24 is pressed by hand, the pair of hooks 25 will be driven to expand synchronously so that the hooks 252 of the pair of hooks 25 can simultaneously disengage from the buckle holes 351 in the buckle groove 35, thereby making it convenient to remove the handle 2 from the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1.

[0082] Based on the above, please refer to Figure 13 The mounting structure also includes a second elastic element 27 disposed in the handle 2. The second elastic element 27 is supported at one end of the lever 251 and the button 24, and is compressed by the end of the lever 251 when the button 24 is activated to engage the pair of hooks 25.

[0083] In its normal state, the second elastic element 27 supports one end of the lever 251, causing the other end of the lever 251 with hooks 252 to retract inward. When the extended end of the lever 251 extends into the latching groove 35 of the connecting seat 3, the hooks 252 automatically engage with the latching holes 351. When a person presses the button 24 on the handle 2, the button 24 presses down on the end of the lever 251 and simultaneously compresses the second elastic element 27, causing the pair of hooks 25 to expand and simultaneously separating the hooks 252 from the latching holes 351, thus releasing the engagement. When the pressure on the button 24 is released, the second elastic element 27 automatically returns to its original position and pushes the end of the lever 251 to reset the button 24, maintaining the inward clamping force of the pair of hooks 25, ensuring the engagement force with the latching holes 351 on the connecting seat 3, and ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle 2 and the bracket body 1.

[0084] In other embodiments of this application (not shown in the figures), the mounting structure can also employ a magnetic attraction structure. Magnetic elements are respectively provided on the connection ends of the handle 2 and the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1, so that the handle 2 and the connecting seat 3 are magnetically attracted to each other when they approach. Specifically, a switch capable of turning the magnetic force on or off can be provided on the handle 2 to control the magnetic force of the magnetic elements. When the magnetic force is activated, the handle 2 and the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1 maintain a magnetic connection; when the magnetic force disappears, the handle 2 can be detached from the connecting seat 3 of the bracket body 1.

[0085] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
