Abstract

The invention relates to a clamping mechanism used for fixing an electronic component. The clamping mechanism comprises a rotating part, a first clamping part, a second clamping part and an elastic part. The rotating part is pivoted to the first and second clamping parts and a shell of an electronic device. When the second clamping part is located in an initial position, the electronic component is clamped with the first and second clamping parts; and when the second clamping part moves to an opening position, the rotating part rotates relative to the shell and makes the first and second clamping parts separated from the electronic component. The elastic part is connected with the second clamping part and the shell and generates an elastic force to make the second clamping part return to the initial position. According to the invention, a traditional clamping mechanism can be opened or closed by a single hand so that the using convenience is improved.

Embodiment

At first see also Fig. 1, the snap fastener of one embodiment of the invention is arranged at a notebook computer or other electronic installations are inner, can be in order to fix a battery 40 or other electronic building bricks, this snap fastener mainly comprises a rotating part 11, one first fastener 12, one second fastener 13 and an elastic component 30.Such rotation part 11 includes an articulated section 20, a first end 21 and one second end 22, and wherein articulated section 20 is arranged between first end 21 and the

second end

22, and 11 of rotating parts are mutually to articulate by the housing 10 of articulated section 20 with electronic installation.

As shown in Figure 1, aforementioned the first fastener 12 roughly is a slab construction, and mutually articulates with the first end 21 of rotating part 11, and the first fastener 12 is formed with one first protuberance 120 in addition in addition, in order to battery 40 on one first groove 41 mutually engage.In addition, aforementioned the second fastener 13 roughly is formed with a bottom 131, a junction 132, a fixed part 133 and one second protuberance 130, aforementioned connecting portion 132 connects bottom the 131 and second protuberance 130,133 of fixed parts are to be extended towards the below by the bottom side of connecting portion 132, wherein the second fastener 13 can in order to battery 40 on one second groove 42 mutually engage, 131 the second ends 22 with rotating part 11 in bottom articulate mutually.

As shown in Figure 1, the bottom 131 of aforementioned the second fastener 13 is parallel to first direction D, and connecting portion 132 is perpendicular to first direction D, and the second protuberance 130 is parallel to first direction D.

In the present embodiment, elastic component 30 is extension springs, and wherein an end of elastic component 30 is fixed on the fixed part 133 of the second fastener 13, and the other end then is fixed on the housing 10 of electronic installation, with thinking that the second fastener 13 provides back stretch.When snap fastener is in a fastening state (Fig. 1), the second fastener 13 is positioned at an initial position X0, this moment, the first protuberance 120 of the first fastener 12 engaged mutually with first groove 41 on battery 40 right sides, and 13 of the second fasteners are mutually to engage with second groove 42 in battery 40 left sides.

Fig. 2 shows the schematic diagram when snap fastener switches to opening by fastening state.As shown in the figure, when wish is opened snap fastener, can apply an external force the second fastener 13 is slided towards first direction D, this moment second, fastener 13 can move to an enable possition X1 by aforementioned initial position X0, and elastic component 30 can be elongated.Will be appreciated that, when the second fastener 13 during along first direction D displacement, aforementioned the second protuberance 130 can break away from the second groove 42 of battery 40, can force simultaneously rotating part 11 by articulated section 20 and with respect to housing 10 rotations of electronic installation, and then so that the first fastener 12 towards the reverse movement of first direction D, this moment, the first protuberance 120 also can break away from the first groove 41 of battery 40, therefore battery 40 just can be successfully by breaking away from the snap fastener.

What need special instruction is that when aforementioned external force was released, elastic component 30 can act on an elastic force in the second fastener 13, and makes the second fastener 13 return back to aforementioned initial position X0.Because the present invention only need to spur the snap action that the second fastener 13 just can be removed first, second protuberance 120,130 pairs of batteries 40 simultaneously, therefore can finish with one hand, in addition also applicable in the various electronic installation, to promote the convenience on using.

Although by previous embodiment the present invention is made foregoing description, it is not to limit the present invention.The technical staff in the technical field of the invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, when doing a little change and retouching.Therefore protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the scope that claims were defined of enclosing.
