Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a placement bracket and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Electronic equipment is installed in a liquid cooling cabinet, which can deliver cooling liquid to the electronic equipment through a manifold to achieve liquid cooling of the electronic equipment.

[0003] In related technologies, electronic equipment includes a chassis, a cold plate and a water pipe joint. The water pipe joint is connected to the chassis through a cable tie. The cold plate is arranged in the chassis and is connected to the water pipe joint. The cold plate is used to dissipate heat from the heating components of the electronic equipment.

[0004] However, when installing electronic equipment into a liquid cooling cabinet, it is necessary to first use a cutting tool to cut the cable tie, and then connect the water pipe joint to the water distribution pipe of the liquid cooling cabinet, resulting in a cumbersome disassembly process of the water pipe joint. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a placement bracket and an electronic device, which can achieve the effect of disassembling the object to be placed without the aid of additional disassembly tools, thereby simplifying the disassembly process of the object to be placed.

[0006] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a placement bracket, which has a locked state and an unlocked state, and the placement bracket includes: a locking assembly; a bracket body; a limit piece, which is rotatably connected to the bracket body, and the limit piece is used to move relative to the bracket body in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the limit piece to switch the placement bracket between the locked state and the unlocked state; when the placement bracket is in the locked state, the locking assembly locks the limit piece and the bracket body; when the placement bracket is in the unlocked state, the locking assembly releases the limit piece and the bracket body, and the limit piece can rotate relative to the bracket body.

[0007] In one possible embodiment, the locking assembly includes: a first locking member, which is arranged on the bracket body and includes a first locking portion; a second locking member, which is arranged on the limiting member and includes a second locking portion; when the bracket is in a locked state, the first locking portion locks the second locking portion; when the bracket is in an unlocked state, the first locking portion releases the second locking portion.

[0008] In a possible embodiment, the locking assembly also includes an elastic member, which is arranged in a gap between the side wall of the limiting member in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and the bracket body, and abuts against the limiting member and the bracket body respectively; one of the first locking part and the second locking part is an accommodating part, and the other is an insertion part for inserting into the accommodating part.

[0009] In a possible implementation manner, one of the first locking portion and the second locking portion is a magnetic portion, and the other is a magnetic response portion for magnetic connection with the magnetic portion.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the first locking member further includes a third locking portion, and the third locking portion is used to lock the second locking portion when the limiting member rotates by a preset angle relative to the bracket body.

[0011] In a possible embodiment, the placement bracket also includes a rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to the bracket body; the limiting member includes a limiting body and a rotating part, the limiting body is fixedly connected to the rotating part, and the rotating part is sleeved on the rotating shaft and has a clearance fit with the rotating shaft.

[0012] In a possible embodiment, the limiting member also includes a limiting portion; when the placement bracket is in a locked state, the limiting portion and the rotating portion are respectively located on opposite sides of the limiting body along the width direction of the placement bracket, and the limiting portion extends toward the bracket body along the height direction of the placement bracket.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the limiting member further includes a handle, which is disposed on the limiting body.

[0014] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising a device body and any placement bracket provided in the first aspect connected to the device body.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the bracket is placed between the bottom and top of the device body along the height direction of the electronic device.

[0016] The placement bracket and electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application include a locking assembly, a limiting member, and a bracket body, wherein the limiting member and the bracket body are rotatably connected.

[0017] The placement bracket has a locked state. When the placement bracket is in the locked state, the locking assembly locks the limit piece and the bracket body to prevent the limit piece from rotating relative to the bracket body. At this time, the limit piece and the bracket body can jointly limit the object to be placed, thereby ensuring the stability of the object to be placed on the placement bracket and preventing it from falling during transportation or use.

[0018] The placement bracket also has an unlocked state. When in this state, the retaining member can rotate relative to the bracket body. In this state, the retaining member and the bracket body together form a reusable structure. Compared to the related art method of using cable ties for one-time bundling, the embodiment of the present application can repeatedly open and close the retaining member by rotating it to place or remove the object to be placed. This eliminates the need to replace new parts after each operation, reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.

[0019] The limiter moves relative to the bracket body in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the limiter, so that the placement bracket can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the above process, the unlocking action and the rotation action are integrated on the same component (limiter). When it is necessary to disassemble the object to be placed, the operator only needs to apply force to move the limiter in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the limiter, so that the locking assembly can release the lock on the limiter and the bracket body, and put the placement bracket into an unlocked state. In this state, the limiter can be opened to facilitate the operator to take out the object to be placed. Compared with the use of cutting tools to cut the cable tie in the related art, the embodiment of the present application does not require the aid of additional disassembly tools. It only needs to apply external force to the limiter to move and rotate the limiter relative to the bracket body to achieve the disassembly of the object to be placed, which can simplify the disassembly process of the object to be placed, thereby simplifying the installation process of the electronic device.

If there is no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the various features therein may be combined with each other and are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Electronic equipment is installed in a liquid cooling cabinet, which can deliver cooling liquid to the electronic equipment through a manifold to achieve liquid cooling of the electronic equipment.

[0037] In related technologies, electronic equipment includes a chassis, a cold plate and a water pipe joint. The water pipe joint is connected to the chassis through a cable tie. The cold plate is arranged in the chassis and is connected to the water pipe joint. The cold plate is used to dissipate heat from the heating components of the electronic equipment.

[0038] However, when installing electronic equipment into a liquid cooling cabinet, it is necessary to first use a cutting tool to cut the cable tie, and then connect the water pipe connector to the water distribution pipe of the liquid cooling cabinet, resulting in a cumbersome process of disassembling the connector and thus a cumbersome process of installing the electronic equipment.

[0039] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a placement bracket and an electronic device, which can realize the disassembly of the object to be placed without the aid of additional disassembly tools, thereby simplifying the disassembly process of the object to be placed and thus simplifying the installation process of the electronic device.

[0040] The present invention provides an electronic device, which may be a server, computer, power supply, home appliance, office equipment, gaming and entertainment equipment, healthcare equipment, industrial equipment, or network equipment. The present invention takes the server as an example for description.

[0041] The specific structure of the electronic device is described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0042] Figure 1 In each figure, the X-axis is defined as the length direction of the electronic device, the Y-axis is defined as the width direction of the electronic device, and the Z-axis is defined as the height direction of the electronic device.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes a device body 10, electronic components (not shown), a liquid cooling and heat dissipation device (not shown), a water pipe 20, a connector 30, and a placement bracket 40. The electronic components are disposed within the device body 10, the liquid cooling and heat dissipation device is disposed within the device body 10 and is located on one side of the electronic components. The connector 30 is disposed outside the device body 10. The water pipe 20 connects the liquid cooling and heat dissipation device and the connector 30. The connector 30 is used to connect to a water distribution pipe (not shown) of a liquid cooling cabinet. The placement bracket 40 is connected to the device body 10, and the connector 30 is placed on the placement bracket 40.

[0044] Therefore, during the transportation of electronic equipment, the installation of electronic equipment in a liquid-cooled cabinet, or the removal of electronic equipment from a liquid-cooled cabinet, the connector 30 is placed on the placement bracket 40, and the placement bracket 40 can be in a closed state. The placement bracket 40 can protect the connector 30 to prevent the water pipe 20 and the connector 30 from being damaged by external forces.

[0045] It is understandable that Figure 1 Some components of the electronic device are only schematically shown, and the actual shapes, sizes, positions and structures of these components are not affected by the actual shapes, sizes, positions and structures of the electronic device. Figure 1 electronic devices may also include Figure 1 More or fewer parts.

[0046] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of taking out or putting in the connector 30.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the placement bracket 40 can be in an open state, and the joint 30 can be placed into the placement bracket 40 or taken out from the placement bracket 40 .

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the device body 10 may include a housing and a cover 14. The housing and the cover 14 together form a device mounting cavity (not shown in the figure), and the electronic device and the liquid cooling device may be disposed in the device mounting cavity.

[0049] In some possible implementations, the device body 10 may also be referred to as a chassis or a case.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the housing and the cover 14 may be detachably connected to facilitate maintenance of various components in the component mounting cavity.

[0051] In some possible implementations, the housing may include a bottom housing 11, a top housing 12, and a side panel 13. Along a height direction perpendicular to the electronic device, the bottom housing 11 and the top housing 12 may be located on opposite sides of the side panel 13, respectively.

[0052] In some possible implementations, the cover panel 14 may also be referred to as a rear window.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device may be a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), an integrated circuit (IC), a random access memory (RAM), a power supply, and the like.

[0054] In some embodiments, the liquid cooling device may be a cold plate, a vapor chamber, or a heat pipe.

[0055] In some embodiments, the water pipe 20 can extend to the outside of the equipment body 10. The water pipe 20 extending to the outside of the equipment body 10 can make the connector 30 easier to approach the water distribution pipe of the liquid cooling cabinet, thereby facilitating the connection of the connector 30 to the water distribution pipe.

[0056] Of course, the water pipe 20 can extend to the outside of the device body 10 or can be located inside the device body 10. In this case, the joint 30 is connected to the water pipe 20, and the distance between the joint 30 and the water distribution pipe is relatively small.

[0057] In some embodiments, the joint 30 may be a quick-release joint or a welding joint.

[0058] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the electronic device, the placement bracket 40 is disposed between the bottom and top ends of the device body 10. For example, along the height direction of the electronic device, the placement bracket 40 is disposed between the bottom shell 11 and the top shell 12 of the device body 10.

[0059] In a liquid-cooled cabinet, the plugging and unplugging installation of electronic equipment has strict requirements on size and space. If the bottom or top of the placement bracket 40 exceeds the range of the device body 10, when the electronic equipment is inserted or unplugged into the liquid-cooled cabinet, the placement bracket 40 may collide or get stuck with the internal structure of the cabinet or other adjacent equipment, making plugging and unplugging difficult or even damaging the equipment.

[0060] Along the height direction of the electronic device, by arranging the placement bracket 40 between the bottom and the top of the device body 10, the placement bracket 40 will not protrude from the bottom or top of the electronic device, thereby avoiding the placement bracket 40 causing interference or obstruction to other devices during the installation or plugging of the electronic device.

[0061] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure in which the bracket 40 is placed.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the length direction of the bracket 40 is parallel to the length direction of the electronic device, the width direction of the bracket 40 is parallel to the width direction of the electronic device, and the height direction of the bracket 40 is parallel to the height direction of the electronic device.

[0063] It should be noted that when the two directions are parallel, the two directions can be absolutely parallel, or a certain error can be allowed. For example, the angle between the length direction of the placement bracket 40 and the length direction of the electronic device can be 1° or 2°.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the placement bracket 40 includes a locking assembly 100, a bracket body 200 and a limiting member 300, and the placement bracket 40 has a locked state (such as Figure 3 The stopper 300 is rotatably connected to the bracket body 200, and the stopper 300 moves relative to the bracket body 200 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the stopper 300 to switch the placement bracket 40 between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0065] When the bracket 40 is in the locked state, the locking assembly 100 locks the limiter 300 and the bracket body 200. When the bracket 40 is in the unlocked state, the locking assembly 100 releases the limiter 300 and the bracket body 200, and the limiter 300 can rotate relative to the bracket body 200.

[0066] The placement bracket 40 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a locking assembly 100, a limiting member 300 and a bracket body 200, and the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200 are rotatably connected.

[0067] The placement bracket 40 has a locked state. When the placement bracket 40 is in the locked state, the locking assembly 100 locks the limiter 300 and the bracket body 200 to prevent the limiter 300 from rotating relative to the bracket body 200. At this time, the limiter 300 and the bracket body 200 can jointly limit the object to be placed, thereby ensuring the stability of the object to be placed on the placement bracket 40 and preventing it from falling during transportation or use.

[0068] The placement bracket 40 also has an unlocked state. When the placement bracket 40 is in this unlocked state, the retaining member 300 can rotate relative to the bracket body 200. In this state, the retaining member 300 and the bracket body 200 together form a reusable structure. Compared to the related art method of using cable ties for one-time bundling, the embodiment of the present application can repeatedly open and close the retaining member 300 by rotating it to place and remove objects to be placed. This eliminates the need to replace new parts after each operation, reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.

[0069] The limiter 300 moves relative to the bracket body 200 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the limiter 300, allowing the placement bracket 40 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the above process, the unlocking action and the rotation action are integrated into the same component (the limiter 300). When it is necessary to remove the object to be placed, the operator only needs to apply force to move the limiter 300 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the limiter 300 to cause the locking assembly 100 to release the lock on the limiter 300 and the bracket body 200, and place the placement bracket 40 into the unlocked state. In this state, the limiter 300 can be opened to facilitate the operator to remove the object to be placed. Compared to the related art that uses a cutting tool to cut the cable tie, the embodiment of the present application does not require the use of additional disassembly tools. It only needs to apply external force to the limiter 300 to move and rotate the limiter 300 relative to the bracket body 200 to achieve the removal of the object to be placed. This can simplify the disassembly process of the object to be placed, thereby simplifying the installation process of the electronic device.

[0070] It should be noted that the locked and unlocked states can be defined based on the position of the stopper 300 relative to the bracket body 200 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the stopper 300. The position of the stopper 300 after rotation is not used to define the locked and unlocked states. It is understood that any position in which the stopper 300 is not locked by the bracket body 200 after rotation can be considered unlocked, and any position in which the stopper 300 is locked by the bracket body 200 after rotation can be considered locked.

[0071] When the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200 jointly limit the object to be placed, the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200 may jointly clamp the object to be placed, or may not clamp the object to be placed, and only need to limit the movement range of the object to be placed.

[0072] It should also be noted that the direction of the rotation axis of the limiting member 300 can be parallel to the length direction of the placement bracket 40.

[0073] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the object to be placed. For example, the object to be placed can be a connector 30 connected to the water pipe 20 in the electronic device, or a plug in the electronic device for connecting to a power source, etc.

[0074] It can be understood that in the unlocked state, the limit member 300 can rotate relative to the bracket body 200 so that the object to be placed can pass through the space between the limit member 300 and the bracket body 200, which not only facilitates the disassembly of the object to be placed, but also facilitates the placement of the object to be placed on the placement bracket 40.

[0075] In some possible implementations, along the height direction of the electronic device, the bottom height of the bracket body 200 is no lower than the bottom housing 11 of the device body 10. In the unlocked state, when the stopper 300 rotates to its highest point, the top height of the stopper 300 is no higher than the top housing 12 of the device body 10.

[0076] In this way, regardless of whether the limit member 300 rotates or not, it can ensure that the placement bracket 40 is located between the bottom and top of the device body 10, so that the placement bracket 40 will not protrude from the bottom or top of the electronic device, thereby avoiding the placement bracket 40 causing interference or obstruction to other devices during the installation or plugging of the electronic device.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the placement bracket 40 may include a rotating shaft 400, which is fixedly connected to the bracket body 200, and a partial structure of the limiting member 300 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 400 and is loosely matched with the rotating shaft 400.

[0078] The rotating shaft 400 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 200, so that the bracket body 200 can support the rotating shaft 400. Part of the structure of the limiter 300 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 400 and has a clearance fit with the rotating shaft 400. The bracket body 200 can also support the limiter 300 through the rotating shaft 400.

[0079] Of course, in addition to being fixedly connected to the bracket body 200, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft 400 can also be integrally provided with the bracket body 200, that is, the rotating shaft 400 can also be integrally formed with the bracket body 200. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft 400 can also be rotatably connected to the bracket body 200, and the limiting member 300 can be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 400.

[0080] It should be noted that the rotation axis of the limiting member 300 may be the axis of the rotating shaft 400 .

[0081] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Explosion diagram.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, the rotating shaft 400 may include a first connecting segment 410, a second connecting segment 420, and a limiting segment 430. The first connecting segment 410, the second connecting segment 420, and the limiting segment 430 may be arranged in sequence, with the first connecting segment 410 fixedly connected to the bracket body 200, a portion of the limiting member 300 being sleeved on the second connecting segment 420 and having a clearance fit therewith, and the limiting segment 430 being used to limit the displacement of the limiting member 300 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400.

[0083] Of course, in addition to including the limiting section 430, in some possible implementations, the rotating shaft 400 may also not include the limiting section 430, and the bracket body 200 or other structures can limit the displacement of the limiting member 300 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket body 200 may include a base 210, a mounting portion 220, and a bearing portion 230. The mounting portion 220 is connected to the base 210, the bearing portion 230 is connected to the mounting portion 220, and at least one of the base 210 and the mounting portion 220 is connected to the device body 10.

[0085] In some possible implementations, the base 210 and the mounting portion 220 may be provided as one piece or as separate pieces.

[0086] In some possible implementations, the carrying portion 230 and the mounting portion 220 may be provided as one piece or as separate pieces.

[0087] In some possible implementations, both the base 210 and the mounting portion 220 may be connected to the device body 10 , so that the connection between the placement bracket 40 and the device body 10 is more stable.

[0088] In some possible implementations, the base 210 and the mounting portion 220 may be fixedly connected to the device body 10 by bonding, snapping, fastener connection, or the like.

[0089] In some possible implementations, the base 210 may be parallel to the bottom housing 11 .

[0090] In some possible implementations, the mounting portion 220 may be parallel to the side plate 13 or the cover plate 14 .

[0091] In some possible implementations, the rotating shaft 400 may be fixedly connected to the bearing portion 230. For example, the rotating shaft 400 and the bearing portion 230 may be fixedly connected by bonding, snapping, fastening, or the like.

[0092] In some possible implementations, there are two or more supporting parts 230. The two or more supporting parts 230 provide more supporting points for the rotating shaft 400, so that the rotating shaft 400 can be more stably installed on the bracket body 200.

[0093] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of the carrying parts 230. For example, the number of the carrying parts 230 can be one, two or three.

[0094] In some possible implementations, the bearing portion 230 is a sleeve, and the rotating shaft 400 can be inserted into the sleeve.

[0095] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 100 includes a first locking member 110 and a second locking member 120. The first locking member 110 is disposed on the bracket body 200 and includes a first locking portion 111. The second locking member 120 is disposed on the stop member 300 and includes a second locking portion 121. When the placement bracket 40 is in the locked state, the first locking portion 111 locks the second locking portion 121. When the placement bracket 40 is in the unlocked state, the first locking portion 111 releases the second locking portion 121.

[0096] The first locking member 110 is disposed on the bracket body 200 , and the bracket body 200 can support the first locking member 110 . The second locking member 120 is disposed on the limiting member 300 , and the limiting member 300 can support the second locking member 120 .

[0097] When the placement bracket 40 is in the locked state, the first locking portion 111 on the first locking member 110 and the second locking portion 121 on the second locking member 120 cooperate and lock with each other, thereby limiting the rotation of the limiting member 300 relative to the bracket body 200. At this time, the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200 can jointly limit the position of the object to be placed.

[0098] When the placement bracket 40 is in the unlocked state, the first locking portion 111 is separated from the second locking portion 121, that is, the first locking portion 111 releases the second locking portion 121, and the limiter 300 can rotate freely relative to the bracket body 200. At this time, the object to be placed can be placed or taken out.

[0099] The locking assembly 100 of the placement bracket 40 is implemented by decomposing the locking function into a first locking member 110 and a second locking member 120 respectively provided on the bracket body 200 and the limit member 300. This separate structural design makes the locking and unlocking actions relatively simple. Specifically, the locked state is achieved only by the first locking portion 111 and the second locking portion 121 cooperating and locking with each other, and the unlocked state is achieved only by the two being separated from each other. Compared with the complex interlocking locking mechanism, this separate locking method has a simpler structure and is easy to process and assemble, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. At the same time, because the triggering conditions for locking and unlocking are single and clear, namely the cooperation and separation of the first locking portion 111 and the second locking portion 121, the entire locking assembly 100 has high operational reliability and is not prone to misoperation or jamming, ensuring the stability of the placement bracket 40 in the locked state and the ability to smoothly switch to the unlocked state when needed.

[0100] Of course, in addition to being provided on the bracket body 200 , in some embodiments, the first locking member 110 can also be provided integrally with the bracket body 200 , that is, the first locking member 110 can also be integrally formed with the bracket body 200 .

[0101] In addition to being provided on the limiting member 300 , in some embodiments, the second locking member 120 may also be provided integrally with the limiting member 300 , that is, the second locking member 120 may also be integrally formed with the limiting member 300 .

[0102] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the first locking member 110. For example, the first locking member 110 can be block-shaped or plate-shaped. In addition, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the second locking member 120. For example, the second locking member 120 can be block-shaped or plate-shaped.

[0103] In some possible implementations, the first locking member 110 may be disposed on the base 210 .

[0104] In some possible implementations, the first locking member 110 may be disposed on the mounting portion 220 .

[0105] In some possible implementations, one of the first locking portion 111 and the second locking portion 121 is a magnetic portion, and the other is a magnetic response portion for magnetically connecting to the magnetic portion.

[0106] In this way, the magnetic portion and the magnetic response portion are magnetically connected, so that the connection between the first locking portion 111 and the second locking portion 121 is more stable, which can effectively prevent the first locking portion 111 from being separated from the second locking portion 121.

[0107] In some possible implementations, the magnetic portion is formed of a magnetic material, and the magnetic response portion is formed of a ferromagnetic material.

[0108] In some possible implementations, the magnetic portion is formed of a magnetic material, and the magnetic response portion may also be formed of a magnetic material. Compared to a magnetic response portion formed of a ferromagnetic material, the magnetic connection between the magnetic response portion formed of a magnetic material and the magnetic portion is more stable.

[0109] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 100 may further include an elastic member 130. The elastic member 130 is disposed in a gap between a side wall of the stopper 300 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and the bracket body 200, and abuts against the stopper 300 and the bracket body 200, respectively. One of the first locking portion 111 and the second locking portion 121 is a receiving portion, and the other is an insertion portion for inserting into the receiving portion.

[0110] The elastic member 130 is disposed in the gap between the sidewall of the limiting member 300 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and the bracket body 200, and abuts against the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200, respectively. The elastic member 130 can generate a continuous abutting force on the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200. This abutting force not only enables the limiting member 300 to automatically return, but also serves to lock the limiting member 300 and the bracket body 200. Specifically, in the locked state, the insert portion can be accurately and firmly inserted into the receiving portion under the abutting force of the elastic member 130 to limit the radial displacement of the insert portion relative to the receiving portion. At this time, the abutting force of the elastic member 130 continuously acts to cause the insert portion to abut against the receiving portion, thereby limiting the axial displacement of the insert portion relative to the receiving portion. When unlocking is required, the operator only needs to apply an external force in a direction parallel to the rotation axis to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 130, so that the insertion part is separated from the receiving part, and the lock can be released. At this time, the receiving part does not limit the axial displacement and radial displacement of the insertion part, and the limit member 300 can rotate relative to the bracket body 200.

[0111] In this way, the elastic member 130 can not only realize the automatic recovery of the limit member 300, but also realize the locking of the limit member 300 and the bracket body 200, greatly improving the convenience of operation and the reliability of locking. When the operator rotates the limit member 300 to the closed locking position, due to the automatic recovery function of the elastic member 130, no additional pressing or snapping action is required. Under the axial thrust continuously applied by the elastic member 130, as long as the insertion portion is aligned with the receiving portion, the insertion portion will automatically slide into the receiving portion, completing the locking action, which can simplify the locking process. The continuous abutment force provided by the elastic member 130 can ensure that the insertion portion is always tightly maintained in the receiving portion, which can effectively prevent the insertion portion from detaching from the receiving portion, thereby preventing the object to be placed from falling off.

[0112] It should be noted that on the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis, the orthographic projections of the insertion portion and the accommodating portion do not coincide with the orthographic projection of the rotating shaft 400, thereby ensuring that the locking assembly 100 can lock the limit member 300 and the bracket body 200 to prevent the limit member 300 from rotating relative to the bracket body 200.

[0113] In some possible implementations, the elastic member 130 may be a spring, a torsion spring, or an elastic colloid.

[0114] In some possible implementations, the inserting portion may be a protrusion, and the receiving portion may be a groove or a hole. In this way, the connection between the inserting portion and the receiving portion is relatively stable, and the first locking member 110 and the second locking member 120 can be effectively prevented from being separated.

[0115] In some possible implementations, the elastic member 130 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 400 and loosely fit with the rotating shaft 400. In this way, the rotating shaft 400 can support the elastic member 130, and the elastic member 130 can be compressed and stretched along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400, thereby allowing the limiting member 300 to move in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the limiting member 300.

[0116] Figure 5 for Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure after the limiting member 300 is rotated by a preset angle.

[0117] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 100 may further include a third locking portion 112, such as Figure 5 As shown, the third locking portion 112 is used to lock the second locking portion 121 when the limiting member 300 rotates a preset angle. In this way, the locking assembly 100 can keep the limiting member 300 in the expanded state, making it easy to take out or put in objects to be placed.

[0118] It should be noted that when the third locking portion 112 locks the second locking portion 121 , the placement bracket 40 may be in a locked state.

[0119] In some possible implementations, the preset angle is 45° to 135°. Exemplarily, the preset angle is 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, or 135°.

[0120] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, one of the second locking portion 121 and the third locking portion 112 is a receiving portion, and the other is an insertion portion for inserting into the receiving portion. Exemplarily, one of the second locking portion 121 and the third locking portion 112 is a protrusion, and the other is a groove or hole.

[0121] In some possible implementations, one of the second locking portion 121 and the third locking portion 112 is a magnetic portion, and the other is a magnetic response portion for magnetic connection with the magnetic portion.

[0122] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the position-limiting member 300 may include a position-limiting body 310 and a rotating portion 320. The position-limiting body 310 is fixedly connected to the rotating portion 320. The rotating portion 320 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 400 and has a clearance fit with the rotating shaft 400. In this way, the bracket body 200 can support the position-limiting member 300 via the rotating shaft 400.

[0123] In some possible implementations, the limiting body 310 and the rotating portion 320 may be provided as one body or as separate bodies.

[0124] In some possible implementations, the rotating portion 320 may be a sleeve.

[0125] In some possible implementations, there may be more than two rotating parts 320. In this way, the rotating shaft 400 supports the limiting member 300 at more points, and the connection between the two is more stable.

[0126] In some possible implementations, the elastic member 130 may abut between the rotating portion 320 and the bearing portion 230 .

[0127] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 300 may further include a limiting portion 330, which is disposed on the limiting body 310. When the placement bracket 40 is in the locked state, the limiting portion 330 and the rotating portion 320 are respectively located on opposite sides of the limiting body 310 along the width direction of the placement bracket 40, and the limiting portion 330 extends toward the bracket body 200 along the height direction of the placement bracket 40.

[0128] In this way, the limiting portion 330 and the bracket body 200 can form a barrier for the object to be placed, and jointly limit the displacement of the object to be placed in the width direction of the placement bracket 40 to prevent the object to be placed from falling.

[0129] In some possible implementations, there are multiple limiting portions 330 , with limiting portions 330 provided on opposite sides of the limiting body 310 along the width direction of the placement bracket 40, and limiting portions 330 provided on opposite sides of the limiting body 310 along the length direction of the placement bracket 40. Thus, the limiting portions 330 can collectively limit the displacement of the object to be placed in both the width and length directions of the placement bracket 40.

[0130] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of the limiting portions 330 . For example, the number of the limiting portions 330 may be one, two, or three.

[0131] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementations, when the placement bracket 40 is in a locked state, the limiting portion 330 can extend toward the base 210, and the space enclosed by the limiting portion 330, the limiting body 310, the mounting portion 220 and the base 210 can be used to accommodate the object to be placed and to limit the object to be placed.

[0132] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementations, the second locking member 120 can be connected to the limiting body 310. In this way, the limiting member 300 can support the second locking member 120.

[0133] In some possible implementations, when the placement bracket 40 is in a locked state, the second locking member 120 may extend toward the base 210. In this way, the second locking member 120 may also limit the position of the object to be placed.

[0134] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 300 may further include a handle 340 , which is disposed on the limiting body 310 , and the handle 340 may be used to provide an external force.

[0135] In some possible implementations, the handle 340 and the second locking member 120 may be located on opposite sides of the limiting body 310 along a height direction perpendicular to the placement bracket 40, for example, along the length direction of the placement bracket 40, and the second locking member 120 may be located between the handle 340 and the device body 10. This facilitates an operator to operate the placement bracket 40 from the outside of the device body 10 via the handle 340.

[0136] In some possible implementations, when the placement bracket 40 is in a locked state, the handle 340 can extend toward the base 210. In this way, the handle 340 can also limit the position of the object to be placed.

[0137] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the structure of the handle 340. For example, the handle 340 may be cylindrical.

[0138] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present application is limited only by the appended claims.
