Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the terms "connection" or "coupled" herein include any direct or indirect structural connection means. Therefore, if the text describes a first device connected to or coupled to a second device, it means that the first device can be directly structurally connected to the second device, or indirectly structurally connected to the second device through other devices or connection means.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are partial structural diagrams of the electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention from different viewpoints. Figure 3 and Figure 4 These are exploded views of some components of the electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, taken from different perspectives. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the electronic device 1 includes a main body 11, four detachable modules 12 and four quick-release mechanisms 13. Each detachable module 12 is detachably mounted to the main body 11, and each quick-release mechanism 13 is used to allow the corresponding detachable module 12 to be installed or removed from the main body 11.

[0035] In this embodiment, the electronic device 1 can be a server, the main body 11 can be a bridge circuit board fixedly mounted on the server housing (not shown in the figure), and the detachable module 12 can be a hard drive backplane for insertion into the main body 11. The installation of the detachable module 12 relative to the main body 11 can be accomplished by mating the first electrical connector 121 of the detachable module 12 with the second electrical connector 111 of the main body 11, and the removal of the detachable module 12 relative to the main body 11 can be accomplished by separating the first electrical connector 121 of the detachable module 12 from the second electrical connector 111 of the main body 11. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the electronic device can be an industrial computer or a personal computer, the main body can be a mounting side plate of the industrial computer or personal computer housing, and the detachable module can be a fan module disposed on the mounting side plate. The installation of the detachable module relative to the main body can be accomplished by moving the detachable module to a predetermined position, and the removal of the detachable module relative to the main body can be accomplished by moving the detachable module away from the predetermined position. That is, the installation and removal of the detachable module relative to the main body are independent of the insertion and removal states of the first electrical connector of the detachable module and the second electrical connector of the main body.

[0036] Furthermore, the number of detachable modules and quick-release mechanisms of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the electronic device may include only one detachable module and one quick-release mechanism.

[0037] Please see Figures 2 to 7 , Figure 5 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the quick-release mechanism 13 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 and Figure 7 These are exploded views of some components of the quick-release mechanism 13 according to an embodiment of the present invention, taken from different perspectives. Figures 2 to 7As shown, each quick-release mechanism 13 includes two positioning members 131, a locking member 132, and a driving member 133. The two positioning members 131 are fixedly disposed on the main body 11 and adjacent to the opposite sides of the corresponding detachable module 12. The locking member 132 is coupled to the corresponding detachable module 12 and can move relative to the corresponding detachable module 12 along a first direction D1. The locking member 132 is used to lock the two positioning members 131. The driving member 133 is coupled to the corresponding detachable module 12 and can move relative to the corresponding detachable module 12 along a second direction D2 different from the first direction D1. When the driving member 133 moves along the second direction D2, the driving member 133 pushes the locking member 132 as it moves along the first direction D1, so that the locking member 132 disengages from the two positioning members 131, that is, the locking member 132 separates from the two positioning members 131. The engagement of the engaging member 132 of each quick-release mechanism 13 with the two positioning members 131 can restrict the corresponding detachable module 12 from being removed from the main body 11. The disengagement of the engaging member 132 of each quick-release mechanism 13 with the two positioning members 131 can allow the corresponding detachable module 12 to be removed from the main body 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second direction D2 may be substantially the same as the disassembly direction of the detachable module 12 relative to the body 11 and substantially perpendicular to the first direction D1. However, the invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the second direction may be substantially the same as the disassembly direction of the detachable module relative to the body and inclined to the first direction.

[0039] To achieve the engagement and disengagement of the two positioning components 131 and the engaging component 132, as follows: Figures 3 to 7 As shown, each positioning member 131 has a positioning portion 1311, and the engaging member 132 has two engaging portions 1321. When the engaging member 132 moves along the first direction D1, each engaging portion 1321 leaves the corresponding positioning portion 1311, so that the engaging member 132 disengages from the two positioning members 131. When the engaging member 132 moves in a direction opposite to the first direction D1, each engaging portion 1321 enters the corresponding positioning portion 1311, so that the engaging member 132 engages with the two positioning members 131.

[0040] In this embodiment, the positioning member 131 may be a positioning post, the positioning portion 1311 may be a positioning hole formed on the positioning post, and the engaging portion 1321 may be an engaging protrusion for engaging with the positioning hole. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the positioning member may be a positioning protrusion, the positioning portion may be a positioning protrusion protruding from the positioning protrusion, and the engaging portion may be an engaging recess for engaging with the positioning protrusion.

[0041] Furthermore, the number and placement of the positioning members and engaging portions of the present invention are not limited to this embodiment, and can be determined according to actual needs. For example, in another embodiment, the quick-release mechanism may include only one positioning member adjacent to one side or the middle of the detachable module, and the engaging member may include only one engaging portion for engaging with the positioning portion of the positioning member.

[0042] Furthermore, each positioning member 131 has a guide structure 1312, and each engaging part 1321 has a matching guide structure 13211. When the engaging member 132 moves in a direction opposite to the second direction D2, each guide structure 1312 can be used to contact and cooperate with the corresponding matching guide structure 13211 to push the engaging member 132 to move in the first direction D1, thereby preventing the engaging member 132 from being stopped by the positioning member 131.

[0043] In this embodiment, the guiding structure 1312 and the matching guiding structure 13211 may be two inclined surfaces that can slide against each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the guiding structure and the matching guiding structure may be two arc surfaces that can slide against each other.

[0044] To achieve the mechanism of the drive member 133 pushing against the engaging member 132 moving along the first direction D1 when it moves along the second direction D2, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the driving member 133 includes a pushing part 1331, and the engaging member 132 includes a matching pushing part 1322. The long axis direction of the matching pushing part 1322 is inclined to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, that is, the long axis direction of the matching pushing part 1322 is parallel to a third direction D3 that is different from the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. When the driving member 133 moves along the second direction D2, the driving member 133 pushes the engaging member 132 to move along the first direction D1 through the cooperation of the pushing part 1331 and the matching pushing part 1322.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pushing part 1322 may be an inclined rib extending along a third direction D3 and protruding along a first protrusion direction perpendicular to the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3, and the abutting part 1331 may be a mating protrusion protruding along a second protrusion direction opposite to the first protrusion direction and slidingly abutting against the inclined rib. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the pushing part may be an inclined groove extending along a third direction different from the first and second directions, and the abutting part may be a mating pin slidingly passing through the inclined groove.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 7As shown, the engaging member 132 and the driving member 133 of each quick-release mechanism 13 are indirectly connected to the corresponding detachable module 12. To achieve the indirect connection between the engaging member 132 and the detachable module 12, as well as the indirect connection between the driving member 133 and the detachable module 12, each quick-release mechanism 13 also includes a receiving frame 134. The detachable module 12 is disposed in the receiving frame 134. The engaging member 132 is disposed in the receiving frame 134 in a manner that allows it to move along the first direction D1, and the driving member 133 is disposed in the receiving frame 134 in a manner that allows it to move along the second direction D2. That is, the engaging member 132 and the driving member 133 are indirectly connected to the detachable module 12 through the receiving frame 134.

[0047] To make the quick-release mechanism 13 have a reasonable and simple structure, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a sliding portion 1341 is formed on the accommodating frame 134, and a sliding groove 1323 is formed on the engaging member 132. The sliding portion 1341 passes through the sliding groove 1323 and can slide relative to the sliding groove 1323 along the first direction D1. A first through hole 13411 is formed on the sliding portion 1341, and the first end 1332 of the driving member 133 passes through the first through hole 13411. The driving member 133 can move relative to the first through hole 13411 along the second direction D2. A first flange 13321 is formed on the first end 1332 of the driving member 133. The abutment between the first flange 13321 and the sliding portion 1341 is used to limit the travel of the driving member 133 along the second direction D2.

[0048] In addition, a lug 1342 is formed on the receiving frame 134. The lug 1342 is located above the sliding part 1341. A second through hole 13421 is formed on the lug 1342. The second through hole 13421 is aligned with the first through hole 13411 along the second direction D2. The second end 1333 of the driving member 133 passes through the second through hole 13421. The driving member 133 can move relative to the second through hole 13421 along the second direction D2. A second flange 13331 is formed on the second end 1333 of the driving member 133. The abutment between the second flange 13331 and the lug 1342 is used to limit the movement stroke of the driving member 133 in a direction opposite to the second direction D2.

[0049] However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the receiving frame may only have a sliding portion formed, without forming a lug.

[0050] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, each quick-release mechanism 13 also includes a reset member 135, which is disposed between the receiving frame 134 and the engaging member 132 and is used to drive the engaging member 132 to move in a direction opposite to the first direction D1, so that the engaging member 132 engages with the two positioning members 131.

[0051] In this embodiment, the receiving frame 134 has a connecting post 1343 protruding through the engaging member 132, and the engaging member 132 has a connecting ear 1324 protruding. The reset member 135 may be a tension spring connecting the connecting post 1343 of the receiving frame 134 and the connecting ear 1324 of the engaging member 132. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the reset member may be a compression spring abutting against the abutting post of the receiving frame and the abutting post of the engaging member. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the quick-release mechanism may not include a reset member.

[0052] In addition, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, each quick-release mechanism 13 also includes an elastic member 136, which is disposed between the receiving frame 134 and the driving member 133 and is used to drive the driving member 133 to move in a direction opposite to the second direction D2, so that the pushing part 1331 is separated from the pushing part 1322.

[0053] In this embodiment, the middle portion of the drive member 133 located between the lug 1342 and the sliding portion 1341 may have a third flange 1334, and the elastic member 136 may be a compression spring abutting against the lug 1342 of the receiving frame 134 and the third flange 1334 of the drive member 133. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the elastic member may be a compression spring abutting against the sliding portion of the receiving frame and the first flange of the drive member. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the elastic member may be a tension spring abutting against the lug of the receiving frame and the second flange of the drive member. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the quick-release mechanism may not include an elastic member.

[0054] In addition, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, a plurality of abutment portions 1344 are formed on the receiving frame 134, and the engaging member 132 is clamped between the plurality of abutment portions 1344. A plurality of clearance notches 1325 are formed on the engaging member 132. The cooperation between the plurality of abutment portions 1344 and the plurality of clearance notches 1325 allows the user to easily place the engaging member 132 on the receiving frame 134. The abutment between the plurality of abutment portions 1344 and the engaging member 132 can not only guide the engaging member 132 to move relative to the receiving frame 134 along the first direction D1, but also prevent the engaging member 132 from deflecting during movement. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the receiving frame may not have abutment portions, and the engaging member may not have clearance notches.

[0055] In addition, such as Figures 4 to 7The accommodating frame 134 also has a limiting portion 1345, which abuts against the top side 122 of the detachable module 12 to limit the detachable module 12, thereby preventing the detachable module 12 from detaching from the accommodating frame 134 (i.e., the detachable module 12 cannot be removed independently). However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the accommodating frame may not have a limiting portion.

[0056] It is worth noting that the receiving frame is not a necessary element for this invention and can be omitted according to actual needs. For example, in another embodiment, the quick-release mechanism may not include a receiving frame. The plate of the detachable module may have at least one piece protruding from it, which passes through a sliding groove in the engaging member and allows the driving member to pass through. That is, the engaging member and the driving member can be directly and movably connected to the detachable module. An elastic member is disposed between the detachable module and the driving member, and a reset member is disposed between the detachable module and the engaging member.

[0057] Please see Figures 8 to 10 , Figures 8 to 10 This is a partial structural diagram of the electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention with the quick-release mechanism 13 in different states. The operating principle of the quick-release mechanism 13 of the present invention will be explained below. When the user wants to disassemble the detachable module 12, the drive member 133 can be operated to move it along the second direction D2 as shown below. Figure 8 The first operating position shown is moved to, as Figure 9 The second operating position shown is when the drive member 133 moves along the second direction D2 as follows: Figure 8 The first operating position shown is moved to, as Figure 9 In the second operating position shown, the drive member 133 pushes the engaging member 132 along the first direction D1 by the cooperation of the pushing part 1331 and the matching part 1322. Figure 8 Move to the position shown. Figure 9 The position shown is such that the engaging portion 1321 of the engaging member 132 separates from the positioning portion 1311 of the positioning member 131, thereby disengaging the engaging member 132 from the positioning member 131. At this time, the resetting member 135 and the elastic member 136 are elastically deformed by the forces applied by the engaging member 132 and the driving member 133, respectively. After the engaging member 132 and the positioning member 131 are disengaged, the user can easily remove the detachable module 12 from the main body 11 along the second direction D2.

[0058] When the user wishes to install the detachable module 12, the driving member 133 can be released first, causing the elastic member 136 to move the driving member 133 in a direction opposite to the second direction D2, thereby separating the pushing part 1331 from the matching pushing part 1322. Then, the detachable module 12 can be moved in a direction opposite to the second direction D2 so that the engaging member 132 can be engaged through the contact between the guide structure 1312 and the matching guide structure 13211. Figure 10 Move to the position shown. Figure 9 The position shown. When the engaging component 132 is located as shown... Figure 9 When the position shown is such that the engaging portion 1321 of the engaging member 132 is aligned with the positioning portion 1311 of the positioning member 131, the resetting member 135 can drive the engaging member 132 to move in a direction opposite to the first direction D1, so that the engaging portion 1321 of the engaging member 132 engages with the positioning portion 1311 of the positioning member 131, thereby engaging the engaging member 132 with the positioning member 131, thereby restricting the disassembly of the detachable module 12 relative to the main body 11, thereby completing the installation and positioning of the detachable module 12.

[0059] Compared to existing technologies, in this invention, when a user wishes to disassemble the detachable module, they only need to move the driving component along the second direction to push the engaging component against the locking component moving along the first direction and disengaging it from the positioning component, thus allowing the detachable module to be disassembled. In other words, during the disassembly process, the user does not need to use additional disassembly tools, nor does they need to worry about the locking components of existing technologies falling off. Therefore, this invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should be included within the scope of the present invention.

[0061] Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that numerous modifications and alterations can be made to the apparatus and method while retaining the teachings of this invention. Therefore, the foregoing disclosure should be interpreted as limited only by the scope defined in the appended claims.
