[0071] See also Figures 1 to 7The electronic device 100 includes a component support 120 and a retaining module 200. The retaining module 200 can be used to retain the component support 120, so that the component support 120 is fixed at a specific position. The electronic device 100 may further include a chassis 110, the retaining module 200 is disposed in the chassis 110, and the component support 120 is detachably disposed in the chassis 110 through the retaining module 200. The component support 120 of this embodiment is, for example, an expansion card support for placing an expansion card, but is not limited thereto.

[0072] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the retaining module 200 includes a plate body 210, a button 220 and a locking release assembly 300. The locking release assembly 300 includes a connecting rod 310, a sliding member 320 and a housing 360. The housing 360 is disposed on the plate body 210, and at least part of the connecting rod 310, the sliding member 320 and the button 220 are located between the housing 360 and the plate body 210. The button 220 is movably connected to the housing 360. The connecting rod 310 is pivotally connected to the housing 360 along a rotation axis L1, and the connecting rod 310 can be connected to a hook 122 of the component bracket 120.

[0073] The sliding member 320 is movably disposed on the plate body 210 along a moving axis L2. The sliding member 320 can move toward the component support 120 along the moving axis L2 and connect with the component support 120, so that the component support 120 is held in the holding module 200 and fixed in the chassis 110. The sliding member 320 can also move toward the plate body 210 and disconnect from the component support 120, so that the component support 120 can be removed from the holding module 200 (chassis 110). The moving axis L2 is parallel to the rotation axis L1.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the plate body 210 includes a top end 211 and a bottom end 212 opposite to each other, and the housing 360 of the locking release assembly 300 is adjacent to the top end 211. The housing 360 includes a plurality of guide ribs 362, a connecting column 363, a button opening 364 and a sliding member opening 365. The guide ribs 362 extend along a release axis L3, and the connecting column 363 extends along the rotation axis L1. The release axis L3 is perpendicular to the moving axis L2 and the rotation axis L1. The connecting rod 310 is sleeved on the connecting column 363 and is rotatably disposed between the housing 360 and the plate body 210 along the rotation axis L1.

[0075] like Figure 4BAs shown, when the holding module 200 is assembled, the button opening 364 corresponds to the button 220 and is located on the release axis L3, and the sliding member opening 365 corresponds to the sliding member 320 and is located on the movement axis L2. The button 220 is slidably connected to the guide ribs 362 of the housing 360, and can stably move relative to the housing 360 and the plate 210 along the release axis L3.

[0076] like Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the button 220 is linked to the locking release assembly 300. The button 220 can move relative to the plate body 210 along the release axis L3, and can drive the connecting rod 310 to rotate relative to the plate body 210 (housing 360) with the rotation axis L1 as the rotation axis, and can drive the sliding member 320 to slide relative to the plate body 210 (housing 360) along the movement axis L2. The sliding member 320 includes an inclined surface 322 and a connecting portion 324, and the inclined surface 322 is inclined to the movement axis L2 and the release axis L3. The connecting portion 324 extends toward the housing 360 along the movement axis L2, and the connecting portion 324 is movably connected to the component bracket 120. The connecting portion 324 can be inserted into a connecting hole 124 ( Figure 5 ) to hold the component support 120.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the button 220 includes a protrusion 221, and the protrusion 221 extends in a direction perpendicular to the release axis L3. Figure 4B As shown, the protrusion 221 abuts against the inclined surface 322. The protrusion 221 can move relative to the plate body 210 along the release axis L3 to push the inclined surface 322, so that the sliding member 320 moves relative to the plate body 210 along the movement axis L2.

[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 4A As shown, the connecting rod 310 includes a contact portion 311 and a locking portion 312. The contact portion 311 abuts against an inclined surface 226 of the button 220, and the inclined surface 226 is inclined to the moving axis L2 and the release axis L3. When the button 220 moves relative to the plate body 210 along the release axis L3, the inclined surface 226 pushes against the contact portion 311, so that the connecting rod 310 rotates relative to the housing 360 (plate body 210). The locking portion 312 can be relative to the hook 122 ( Figure 1 ) moves to engage with the hook 122 or release the engagement with the hook 122.

[0079] The connecting rod 310 of the present embodiment further includes a first connecting rod 313 and a second connecting rod 314. The first connecting rod 313 is pivotally disposed between the housing 360 and the plate body 210 along the rotation axis L1, and the second connecting rod 314 is movably connected to the first connecting rod 313. The abutting portion 311 is located at the first connecting rod 313, and the engaging portion 312 is located at an end of the second connecting rod 314 away from the first connecting rod 313. Specifically, the first connecting rod 313 includes a convex column 315, which is disposed at one end of the first connecting rod 313, and the abutting portion 311 is an outer surface of the convex column 315. The button 220 includes a top 223 and a bottom 222, and the top 223 is opposite to the bottom 222. The inclined surface 226 of the button 220 abuts against the convex column 315 (the abutting portion 311) of the connecting rod 310.

[0080] The contact portion 311 (first link 313) of the link 310 can be pushed by the button 220 along the release axis L3 to drive the first link 313 of the link 310 to rotate relative to the plate 210 with the rotation axis L1 as the rotation axis, thereby driving the second link 314 to move relative to the first link 313 and engage with the hook 122 of the component bracket 120. The shape of the first link 313 is, for example, a V-shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0081] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking release assembly 300 further includes a first elastic member 330, a second elastic member 340, and a third elastic member 350. Figure 4B As shown, the first elastic member 330 is disposed between the sliding member 320 and the plate 210 along the moving axis L2. The first elastic member 330 is, for example, a spring. Figure 4A As shown, the second elastic member 340 is connected to the housing 360 and the first connecting rod 313 of the connecting rod 310. The second elastic member 340 is connected between the connecting rod 310 (first connecting rod 313) and the housing 360. The third elastic member 350 is connected between the second connecting rod 314 and the first connecting rod 313. The second elastic member 340 and the third elastic member 350 are, for example, torsion springs.

[0082] Figure 4A and Figure 4B The holding module 200 is shown in the first state M1. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the plate 210 further includes a limiting hole 213, and the button 220 further includes a protrusion 224. The limiting hole 213 is used to limit the position of the button 220 relative to the plate 210. The limiting hole 213 of the plate 210 corresponds to the protrusion 224 of the button 220. In the first state M1, an edge 225 of the protrusion 224 abuts against a top edge 214 of the limiting hole 213 to position the button 220. Figure 4AThe button 220 is partially exposed (i.e., the top 223) from the button opening 364 of the housing 360. The contact portion 311 of the link 310 (the boss 315 of the first link 313) abuts against the inclined surface 226 of the button 220, so that the first link 313 is stopped at Figure 4A location.

[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 4A As shown, the first link 313 further includes a protrusion 316. In the first state M1, the protrusion 316 of the first link 313 abuts against the second link 314, so that the second link 314 is stopped at Figure 4A The engaging portion 312 (second connecting rod 314) of the connecting rod 310 is misaligned with the hook 122 of the element bracket 120. Figure 4B As shown, in the first state M1 , a portion of the sliding member 320 (ie, the connecting portion 324 ) is exposed from the sliding member opening 365 of the housing 360 .

[0084] Figure 4C and Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows the connection process between the holding module 200 and the component support 120. Figure 4C and Figure 5 As shown, in the process of connecting the component support 120 to the holding module 200, the component support 120 moves from the top end 211 to the bottom end 212 of the plate body 210. Figure 4C position, a support surface 128 of the element support 120 pushes against the connecting portion 324 of the sliding member 320 in the first state M1, so that the sliding member 320 is driven by the element support 120 to move along the moving axis L2 toward the plate body 210, and the first elastic member 330 is deformed and accumulates elastic force.

[0085] Figure 4C The component support 120 can continue to move toward the bottom end 212 of the plate body 210 until the component support 120 moves to Figure 5 At this time, the connecting hole 124 of the component support 120 is located on the moving axis L2 and is aligned with the sliding member 320. At this time, the sliding member 320 (connecting portion 324) is pushed by the elastic force of the first elastic member 330, and the first elastic member 330 drives the sliding member 320 to slide along the moving axis L2 toward the component support 120. The sliding member 320 moves away from the plate body 210 and moves away from the plate body 210. Figure 4C Reset the position to Figure 5 position to keep the module 200 in the first state M1.

[0086] In the first state M1, the connection portion 324 is exposed from the housing 360 and extends into the connection hole 124, so that the sliding member 320 is connected to the component support 120, thereby limiting the movement of the component support 120 relative to the holding module 200. The component support 120 is held in the chassis 110 ( Figure 1 )middle.

[0087] It can be seen that during the installation of the component support 120 and the holding module 200 (chassis 110), the user only needs to push the component support 120 toward the bottom end 212 of the plate 210 to connect the component support 120 to the holding module 200 (chassis 110). The holding module 200 in the first state M1 can hold the component support 120.

[0088] In addition, if Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the component support 120 further includes a plurality of alignment holes 126, and the plate body 210 includes a plurality of corresponding alignment posts 215, which are located at the bottom end 212 of the plate body 210. When the component support 120 is connected to the holding module 200, the alignment posts 215 are inserted into the alignment holes 126. By aligning the alignment holes 126 and the alignment posts 215, the component support 120 and the plate body 210 can be accurately aligned.

[0089] Figure 8 yes Figure 6 Schematic diagram of keeping the module in the second state. Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 Side view of the retention module. Fig.10 yes Figure 8 See the section view of the retention module. Figure 6 , Figures 8 to 10 When the component support 120 is to be removed from the holding module 200 (chassis 110), the user first presses the top 223 of the button 220 to remove the holding module 200 from the chassis 110. Figure 6 The first state M1 switches to Figure 8 A second state M2.

[0090] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, during the switching process of the holding module 200 from the first state M1 to the second state M2, the button 220 is subjected to force and moves toward the bottom end 212 of the plate body 210 along the release axis L3, and the inclined surface 226 of the button 220 pushes against the protrusion 315 of the first connecting rod 313 (the abutting portion 311 of the connecting rod 310), so as to drive the first connecting rod 313 to rotate relative to the plate body 210 with the rotation axis L1 as the rotation axis, thereby driving the second elastic member 340 to accumulate elastic force. The first connecting rod 313 rotates in a clockwise direction relative to the plate body 210 and the button 220, and abuts against the inclined surface 226 of the protrusion 224 of the button 220. The inclined surface 226 is inclined to the release axis L3 and the rotation axis L1.

[0091] like Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the first link 313 rotates, the protrusion 316 of the first link 313 pushes against the second link 314 to drive the second link 314 to rotate relative to the first link 313, so that the second link 314 and the hook 122 of the element bracket 120 are engaged with each other. The third elastic member 350 accumulates elastic force. In this way, the link 310 (the first link 313 and the second link 314) is positioned Fig. 9 The button 220 is positioned against the first link 313. Fig. 9 location.

[0092] like Fig.10 As shown, during the process of the button 220 moving along the release axis L3 toward the bottom end 212 of the plate body 210, the button 220 simultaneously pushes the sliding member 320. The protrusion 221 of the button 220 moves along the release axis L3 toward the bottom end 212 of the plate body 210, and the protrusion 221 presses and pushes the inclined surface 322 of the sliding member 320, so that the sliding member 320 moves along the moving axis L2 toward the plate body 210, and the sliding member 320 drives the first elastic member 330 to deform so that the first elastic member 330 accumulates elastic force. At this time, the connecting portion 324 withdraws from the connecting hole 124 of the component bracket 120, so that the sliding member 320 (holding module 200) is disconnected from the component bracket 120. Due to the engagement of the connecting rod 310 (engaging portion 312) and the component bracket 120 (hook 122), the button 220 is positioned at Fig. 9 The slider 320 is positioned by the button 220 Fig.10 At this point, the holding module 200 switches to the second state M2. The holding module 200 in the second state M2 releases the component support 120, and the component support 120 can move toward the top end 211 of the plate body 210 and be removed from the holding module 200 (chassis 110).

[0093] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, in the second state M2, the button 220 and the sliding member 320 are located in the housing 360, and the engaging portion 312 (the second connecting rod 314) of the connecting rod 310 is connected to the hook 122 of the component bracket 120. Since the locking release mechanism 300 is positioned in the second state M2 by the engagement of the engaging portion 312 of the connecting rod 310 with the hook 122 of the component bracket 120, the retaining module 200 is continuously positioned in the second state M2 before the hook 122 of the component bracket 120 is not withdrawn from the connecting rod 310. In this way, the user does not need to use external tools and can operate the retaining module with one hand, so that the retaining module 200 is positioned in the second state M2 without continuously pressing the button 220, thereby improving the convenience of using the retaining module 200.

[0094] like Fig. 9 As shown, the engaging portion 312 is located between the hook 122 and the bottom end 212 of the plate 210, so that the hook 122 of the component bracket 120 can move toward the top end 211 of the plate 210 to move away from the engaging portion 312. Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, in the process of removing the component support 120 from the holding module 200 in the second state M2, the hook 122 of the component support 120 moves toward the top end 211 of the plate body 210 and away from the second connecting rod 314 (engaging portion 312), so that the engaging portion 312 of the connecting rod 310 and the hook 122 of the component support 120 are disengaged. At this time, the second connecting rod 314 rotates relative to the first connecting rod 313 by the elastic force of the third elastic member 350, and the second connecting rod 314 moves away from Fig. 9 Reset to the position Figure 7 During the reset process of the second link 314, the second link 314 pushes the protrusion 316 of the first link 313, and the first link 313 is pushed by the second link 314 and rotates relative to the plate body 210 by the elastic force of the second elastic member 340. Fig. 9 Reset to the position Figure 7 location.

[0095] During the process of the link 310 being reset, the abutting portion 311 of the link 310 (the first link 313) pushes the inclined surface 226 of the button 220 through the elastic force of the second elastic member 340, so that the button 220 moves toward the top end 211 of the plate body 210 along the release axis L3. Fig. 9 Reset to the position Figure 7 The location of Figure 4B and Fig.10As shown in FIG. 2 , during the process of the button 220 being reset along the release axis L3, the projection 221 of the button 220 moves relative to the inclined surface 322 of the sliding member 320, and the inclined surface 322 of the sliding member 320 abuts against the projection 221 of the button 220 through the elastic force of the first elastic member 330, and moves away from the plate body 210 along the moving axis L2. Fig.10 Reset to the position Figure 4B The module 200 is kept switched to the first state M1.

[0096] It can be seen that when the component holder 120 is to be removed, the user only needs to press the button 220 with one hand, and then the component holder 120 can be held to move the component holder 120 away from the holding module 200. After the component holder 120 is removed, the holding module 200 automatically switches from the second state M2 to the first state M1. In this way, the user can perform tool-free disassembly and assembly through the holding module 200, and the disassembly and assembly steps of the component holder 120 can be simplified to achieve the effect of quick disassembly and assembly, thereby improving the convenience of use of the holding module 200 and the electronic device 100.

[0097] In addition, the holding module 200 can simplify the process of system maintenance and upgrading of the electronic device 100. The maintenance personnel can quickly replace the failed component bracket 120 or perform hardware upgrades without using complex tools or professional skills. This reduces the workload of the maintenance personnel and saves time and cost for maintenance and upgrading.

[0098] Fig.11 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 and Fig.11 The electronic device 100a of this embodiment is similar to the aforementioned embodiment, and the difference between the two is that the connecting rod 310a of the locking release assembly 300a of this embodiment is a one-piece component. The shape of the connecting rod 310a is, for example, an S-shape. The hook 122a of the component bracket 120a is a part of the bracket surface 128a. The hook 122a can be formed by stamping, for example. In this way, the components of the electronic device 100a and the retaining module 200a can be simplified. The electronic device 100a and the retaining module 200a of this embodiment have the same functions as the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
