The insertion tongues 2-4 provided on the screw support part 2 are first inserted into the housing of the electronic device 4 and abut against the housing.
Then, the operator manually rotates the screw 1 forward, and the rotational movement of the screw 1 drives the screw supporting member 2 to move downward, thereby driving the electronic device 4 to move downward. The rotational movement of the screw 1 simultaneously brings the panel holding member 3 upwards, so that the tips of the two holding sides 3-2 of the panel holding member 3 abut against the panel 5 and push the panel 5 towards the electronic device 4 until the panel 5 is securely mounted to the electronic device 4 and the sealing means 6 provided therebetween is compressed.
When the panel needs to be disassembled, an operator manually rotates the screw 1 reversely, and the rotating motion of the screw 1 drives the screw supporting part 2 to move upwards so as to drive the electronic equipment 4 to move upwards. The rotational movement of the screw 1 simultaneously brings the panel holding member 3 downward, thereby separating the panel 5 from the electronic device 4.
According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, the structure of the present mounting assembly eliminates rotational friction between the screw 1 and the panel 5. When the panel fastener is fastened, the panel holding member 3 holds the panel 5, and the screw 1 does not contact the panel 5. A large frictional force exists between the panel holding member 3 and the panel 5, and the electronic component 4 can be stably assembled in the panel 5.
The operator does not need to hold the panel holding member 3 when fixing the screw 1. The screw support member 2 can be operated with one hand only after being inserted into the electronic device 4.
The structure of the present mounting assembly is self-locking when the rotating screw 1 loosens the panel holding member 3. The panel holding member 3 is now moved downwards and the screw support member 2 is moved upwards, which block each other, ensuring that the screw 1 does not disengage from the panel holding member 3 and the screw support member 2.
While the disclosure has been described in the specification and drawings with reference to specific embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure as defined in the claims.
