[0060] Please see Figures 1 to 11 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a data processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A 3D view of chassis 12 in the image. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Exploded view of chassis 12 in the image. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The adapter module 122 is shown in a stereoscopic view from another perspective. Figure 5 A perspective view of the operating element 1222 in the locked position. Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the operating element 1222 in the unlocked position. Figure 7 for Figure 5 The operating component 1222 is shown in a three-dimensional view from another perspective. Figure 8 Exploded view of operating component 1222, fixed base 1226, locking pin 1228 and elastic component 1230. Figure 9 This is a partial enlarged view of the operating element 1222 in the locked position. Figure 10 This is a partial enlarged view of the operating element 1222 in the unlocked position. Figure 11 A perspective view of the adapter module 122 assembled into the housing 120.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the data processing device 1 includes a cabinet 10, a chassis 12, and at least one electronic component 14. The chassis 12 is mounted on the cabinet 10, and the electronic component 14 is mounted on the chassis 12. The chassis 12 can be a server or other electronic device chassis, depending on the application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the chassis 12 may include a housing 120 and an adapter module 122, wherein the adapter module 122 is disposed on the housing 120. In this embodiment, the chassis 12 may include two adapter modules 122, and the two adapter modules 122 are detachably disposed on opposite sides of the back of the housing 120. It should be noted that the number of adapter modules 122 may be determined according to the actual application and is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figure.

[0062] The adapter module 122 is adapted to be disposed within the housing 120 and electrically connected to or disconnected from at least one electronic component 14. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the adapter module 122 includes a bracket 1220 and an operating member 1222, wherein the operating member 1222 is disposed on the bracket 1220. In this embodiment, the adapter module 122 may include two operating members 1222, and the two operating members 1222 are rotatably disposed on opposite sides inside the bracket 1220. Therefore, the operating member 1222 can... Figure 5 The lock position shown is the same as Figure 6 The device rotates between the indicated unlocking positions. In this embodiment, the adapter module 122 may further include a circuit board 1224, wherein the circuit board 1224 is disposed on the back side of the bracket 1220, as shown. Figure 4 As shown. Electronic component 14 may be a fan electrically connected to or disconnected from circuit board 1224, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the number of electronic components 14 disposed on bracket 1220 may be determined according to the actual application and is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figure.

[0063] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the adapter module 122 may further include a fixed base 1226, a locking pin 1228, and an elastic member 1230. The fixed base 1226 is fixed to the bracket 1220. In this embodiment, the fixed base 1226 may be fixed to the bracket 1220 by screwing, riveting, welding, locking, or other fixing methods, depending on the actual application. A driving part 12220 of the operating member 1222 abuts against the fixed base 1226. The locking pin 1228 passes through the fixed base 1226 and is pivotally connected to the driving part 12220. In this embodiment, the driving part 12220 has a rotating groove 12222, and one end of the locking pin 1228 is pivotally connected to the rotating groove 12222 by a pivot 1232. The elastic member 1230 is disposed in the fixed base 1226, and both ends of the elastic member 1230 abut against the fixed base 1226 and the locking pin 1228. In this embodiment, the elastic element 1230 may be a spring or other elastic body, depending on the actual application. In this embodiment, the operating element 1222 has two driving parts 12220 at both ends. In addition, corresponding to the two ends of the operating element 1222, the adapter module 122 may include two fixing seats 1226, two locking pins 1228, and two elastic elements 1230.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 120 may have one engaging hole 1200. In this embodiment, corresponding to the two operating members 1222 on both sides of each adapter module 122, the housing 120 may have four engaging holes 1200. When the operating member 1222 is in... Figure 5 The lock position shown is the same as Figure 6When rotating between the indicated unlocking positions, the drive portion 12220 of the operating member 1222 causes the engaging pin 1228 to extend or retract from the bracket 1220, thereby engaging or disengaging the engaging pin 1228 from the engaging hole 1200. In this embodiment, the drive portion 12220 has a long side S1, a short side S2, and a rounded corner S3, wherein the rounded corner S3 connects the long side S1 and the short side S2. The operating member 1222 can smoothly move between the indicated unlocking positions via the rounded corner S3 of the drive portion 12220. Figure 9 The lock position shown is the same as Figure 10 Rotate between the indicated unlock positions. For example... Figure 9 As shown, when the operating member 1222 is in the locked position, the long side S1 of the drive unit 12220 abuts against the fixed base 1226. At this time, the locking pin 1228 extends from the bracket 1220. Figure 10 As shown, when the operating member 1222 is in the unlocked position, the short side S2 of the drive unit 12220 abuts against the fixed base 1226. At this time, the locking pin 1228 retracts from the bracket 1220.

[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adapter module 122 may further include at least one partition 1234, and the bracket 1220 has an accommodating space 12200. At least one partition 1234 is disposed laterally in the accommodating space 12200 along the bracket 1220, and the operating member 1222 is disposed longitudinally in the accommodating space 12200 along the bracket 1220. In this embodiment, the adapter module 122 may include two partitions 1234, but is not limited thereto. The partition 1234 may have a clearance groove 12340. The clearance groove 12340 allows the operating member 1222 to... Figure 5 The lock position shown is the same as Figure 6 The operating member 1222 rotates between the locked and unlocked positions shown. Since the operating member 1222 is disposed in the receiving space 12200 of the bracket 1220, the operating member 1222 rotates between the locked and unlocked positions in the receiving space 12200.

[0066] When the operating element 1222 is located Figure 5 In the locked position shown, the locking pin 1228 extends from the bracket 1220 and engages with the locking hole 1200, thereby locking the bracket 1220 to the housing 120. At this time, the electronic component 14 can be inserted into the bracket 1220, allowing the electronic component 14 to be electrically connected to the adapter module 122. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the electrical connector 12240 of the circuit board 1224 is located in the bracket 1220. Therefore, when the electronic component 14 is placed in the bracket 1220, the electronic component 14 will be connected to the electrical connector 12240 of the circuit board 1224, so that the electronic component 14 is electrically connected to the adapter module 122.

[0067] When the user needs to repair or replace circuit board 1224, the user can first remove electronic component 14 from bracket 1220, thus electrically disconnecting electronic component 14 from adapter module 122. When electronic component 14 is electrically disconnected from adapter module 122, operating element 1222 can then automatically... Figure 5 The lock position shown is switched to Figure 6 The bracket 1220 is released from the housing 120 by the indicated release position. Furthermore, when the electronic component 14 is electrically disconnected from the adapter module 122, the user can freely operate the operating element 1222. Figure 5 Rotate to the indicated locking position Figure 6 The release position shown disengages the locking pin 1228 from the locking hole 1200. At this point, the bracket 1220 is released from the housing 120. The user can then pull the operating element 1222 to detach the adapter module 122 from the housing 120. Therefore, the user can repair or replace the circuit board 1224 located on the back of the bracket 1220 without removing the chassis 12 from the rack 10 or removing the housing 120 of the chassis 12. Furthermore, during disassembly, the user must first remove the electronic component 14 from the bracket 1220 before operating the operating element 1222 to detach the adapter module 122 from the housing 120. Since the operating element 1222 is hidden inside the bracket 1220, the disassembly sequence of the electronic component 14 and the adapter module 122 is ensured to prevent damage to the electronic component 14 due to incorrect operation.

[0068] When the operating element 1222 is located Figure 6 When the release position is shown and the electronic component 14 is assembled into the bracket 1220, the electronic component 14 will push the operating member 1222 from... Figure 6 The release position shown is switched to Figure 5 The locking position shown locks the bracket 1220 to the housing 120. In other words, even if the operating member 1222 is in the locked position... Figure 6 Even with the lock released, the user can still assemble the electronic component 14 into the bracket 1220.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the housing 120 may have one assembly slot 1202. In this embodiment, corresponding to the two operating members 1222 on both sides of each adapter module 122, the housing 120 may have four assembly slots 1202. When the adapter module 122 is assembled to the housing 120 in the forward direction ( Figure 11 The adapter module 122 shown on the right has an assembly slot 1202 that allows the locking pin 1228 to pass through, enabling the adapter module 122 to be assembled with the housing 120. When the adapter module 122 is assembled in reverse to the housing 120 ( Figure 11The adapter module 122 shown on the left has a locking pin 1228 that misaligns with the assembly slot 1202, preventing the adapter module 122 from being assembled with the housing 120. Therefore, the assembly slot 1202 serves as a foolproof design, preventing incorrect assembly. It should be noted that the invention is not limited to the number of locking pins 1228 and assembly slots 1202.

[0070] Please see Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 12 to 18 , Figure 12 for Figure 3 The adapter module 124 is shown in a stereoscopic view from another perspective. Figure 13 A perspective view of the operating element 1242 in the locked position. Figure 14 for Figure 13 The adapter module 124 is shown in a stereoscopic view from another perspective. Figure 15 for Figure 13 A perspective view of the operating component 1242 and the engaging component 1244 from another angle. Figure 16 This is a perspective view of the operating element 1242 in the unlocked position. Figure 17 for Figure 1 A partial rear view of the data processing device 1 in the middle. Figure 18 A perspective view of the adapter module 124 being assembled in reverse to the housing 120.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the data processing device 1 may further include an electronic component 16, and the electronic component 16 is disposed on the cabinet 10. In this embodiment, the electronic component 16 may be a bus, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the chassis 12 may further include an adapter module 124, wherein the adapter module 124 is disposed on the housing 120. In this embodiment, the adapter module 124 may be located between two adapter modules 122, but is not limited thereto.

[0072] The adapter module 124 is adapted to be disposed within the housing 120 and electrically connected to or disconnected from the electronic components 16. For example... Figures 12 to 16 As shown, the adapter module 124 includes a bracket 1240, an operating member 1242, a locking member 1244, a power cord 1246, and a frame 1248. The operating member 1242 is disposed on the bracket 1240. In this embodiment, the adapter module 124 may include two operating members 1242, and the two operating members 1242 are respectively movably disposed on opposite sides inside the bracket 1240. Therefore, the operating members 1242 can... Figure 13 The lock position shown is the same as Figure 16 Move between the indicated release positions.

[0073] like Figure 13 and Figure 15As shown, the engaging member 1244 is fixed to the bracket 1240, and the engaging member 1244 has a spring arm 12440 and an engaging portion 12442 extending from the spring arm 12440. A driving portion 12420 of the operating member 1242 abuts against the spring arm 12440. In this embodiment, the operating member 1242 has two driving portions 12420 at both ends. In addition, corresponding to the two ends of the operating member 1242, the engaging member 1244 may have two spring arms 12440 and two engaging portions 12442.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 120 may have another engaging hole 1204. In this embodiment, corresponding to the two operating members 1242 on both sides of the adapter module 124, the housing 120 may have four engaging holes 1204. When the operating member 1242 is in... Figure 13 The lock position shown is the same as Figure 16 When moving between the shown unlocking positions, the drive unit 12420 of the operating member 1242 will drive the spring arm 12440 to extend or retract the engaging part 12442 into the bracket 1240, causing the engaging part 12442 to engage or disengage from the engaging hole 1204. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the number of engaging parts 12442 and engaging holes 1204.

[0075] like Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the bracket 1240 may have a sliding portion 12400, and the operating member 1242 may have a sliding groove 12422. The sliding portion 12400 is disposed in the sliding groove 12422, so that the operating member 1242 is movably disposed on the bracket 1240. In this embodiment, the bracket 1240 may have two sliding portions 12400, and the operating member 1242 may have two sliding grooves 12422, but it is not limited thereto.

[0076] like Figure 14 As shown, the bracket 1240 may have a through hole 12402, and the operating member 1242 may have an operating part 12424. The operating part 12424 is exposed in the through hole 12402. Corresponding to the two operating members 1242, the bracket 1240 may have two through holes 12402. Therefore, the user can insert two fingers into the two through holes 12402, and then press the two operating members 1242 toward each other, so that the two operating members 1242 move to... Figure 16 The release position is shown. At this time, the drive unit 12420 of the operating member 1242 will cause the spring arm 12440 to elastically deform, causing the locking part 12442 to retract into the bracket 1240. When the operating member 1242 is released, the spring arm 12440 will return to its original position. Figure 13 The state shown causes the operating element 1242 to move to Figure 13 The lock position is shown.

[0077] like Figure 12As shown, the power cord 1246 is disposed in the bracket 1240, and the frame 1248 is connected to the bracket 1240. In this embodiment, the power cord 1246 may include an electrical connector 12460, and the electrical connector 12460 is disposed in the frame 1248. Figure 2 As shown, when the adapter module 124 is assembled into the housing 120, the electrical connector 12460 can be connected to a circuit board (not shown) within the housing 120 to form an electrical connection. In this embodiment, Figure 1 The electronic component 16 shown can be a bus that is electrically connected to or electrically disconnected from the power line 1246. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the adapter module 124 may further include a power clip 1250, wherein the power clip 1250 is connected to the power cord 1246. The electronic component 16 may be connected to or disconnected from the power clip 1250 to be electrically connected to or electrically disconnected from the power cord 1246.

[0078] like Figure 17 As shown, when the chassis 12 is mounted on the rack 10 and the electronic component 16 is electrically connected to the adapter module 124, the electronic component 16 will block at least a portion of the through hole 12402, preventing the user from operating the operating element 1242 to release the bracket 1240 from the housing 120. Therefore, it can prevent the adapter module 124 from being accidentally removed, which could lead to malfunction.

[0079] When the user needs to repair or replace the power cord 1246, the user can first disconnect the electronic component 16 from the power clip 1250 to electrically disconnect the electronic component 16 from the power cord 1246. When the electronic component 16 is electrically disconnected from the power cord 1246, the operating element 1242 can automatically... Figure 13 The lock position shown is switched to Figure 16 The bracket 1240 is released from the housing 120 when the release position is shown. Furthermore, when the electronic component 16 is electrically disconnected from the adapter module 124, the through-hole 12402 is not obstructed by the electronic component 16. The user can then press the operating member 1242 to release it from the housing 120. Figure 13 The locked position shown has been moved to Figure 16The release position shown disengages the engaging portion 12442 from the engaging hole 1204. At this point, the bracket 1240 is released from the housing 120. The user can then remove the adapter module 124 from the housing 120. Therefore, the user can repair or replace the power cord 1246 located on the bracket 1240 without removing the chassis 12 from the rack 10 or removing the housing 120 of the chassis 12. Furthermore, during disassembly, the user must first electrically disconnect the electronic component 16 from the power cord 1246 before operating the operating element 1242 to remove the adapter module 124 from the housing 120. Since the operating element 1242 is hidden inside the bracket 1240, the disassembly sequence of the electronic component 16 and the adapter module 124 is ensured to prevent damage to the electronic component 16 due to incorrect operation.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 18 As shown, housing 120 may have an assembly hole 1206. When adapter module 124 is assembled into housing 120 in the forward direction (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown), the assembly hole 1206 allows the frame 1248 to pass through the electrical connector 12460, enabling the adapter module 124 to be assembled with the housing 120. When the adapter module 124 is assembled in reverse to the housing 120 (as shown), Figure 18 As shown, the frame 1248 and electrical connector 12460 may misalign with the assembly hole 1206, preventing the adapter module 124 from being assembled with the housing 120. Therefore, the assembly hole 1206 serves as a foolproof feature, preventing incorrect assembly.

[0081] In summary, users can detach the adapter module from the chassis to repair or replace components (e.g., circuit boards, power cables, etc.) housed in the adapter module's bracket without removing the chassis. Because the operating components are concealed within the adapter module's bracket, the order of disassembly and reassembly of electronic components is ensured, preventing damage to electronic components due to incorrect operation. Furthermore, the invention also provides a foolproof design via assembly slots / holes, preventing incorrect assembly.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
