When it is desired to install the removable module 52 into the accommodating space 561 of the housing 56, the removable module 52 can be inserted obliquely so that the guide post 581 of the housing 58 is obliquely inserted into the guide rail 565 of the housing 56, At this time, the guide rail 565 can guide the guide post 581 to move obliquely to its end, so as to insert the guide post 581 into the insertion hole 567 of the housing 56, so that the removable module 52 can be firmly fixed in the housing 56. Set in space 561.

The fixing mechanism 54 also includes a latch 60, which is slidably mounted on the housing 58. Please refer to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG. Schematic diagram, at least one chute 601 is formed on the latch 60, and the housing 58 includes at least one hook 583, which are slidably engaged in the chute 601 of the latch 60, the hook 583 and the slide The combination of the groove 601 can limit the sliding of the latch 60 relative to the housing 58 in a single direction. The mechanism for restricting the sliding of the latch 60 relative to the housing 58 is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, such as positioning can be provided on the side of the latch 60 Structures such as retaining walls depend on actual design requirements. The fixing mechanism 54 also includes a handle 62 , which is rotatably connected to the housing 58 . For example, the fixing mechanism 54 may further include a pin 64 installed on the housing 58 , and the end of the handle 62 is sleeved on the pin 64 so as to be pivotally connected to the housing 58 . The end of the handle 62 is provided with a protrusion 621 for pushing the latch 60 so that the latch 60 enters the fixing groove 563 of the housing 56 . The fixing mechanism 54 further includes an elastic component 66 connected to the latch 60 , the elastic component 66 is used to drive the latch 60 to separate from the fixing slot 563 , and the elastic component 66 can be a spring. For example, the latch 60 may include a positioning column 603, and the elastic component 66 is sleeved on the positioning column 603. One end of the elastic component 66 abuts against the shell 58 and the other end abuts against the latch 60. When the latch When the lock piece 60 is pushed by the protruding portion 621 of the handle 62 to move toward the fixing groove 563 of the housing 56, the other end of the elastic component 66 is pushed by the latch 60 to assume a compressed state as a whole; and when the protruding portion 621 of the handle 62 is separated from the When the latch 60 is used, the elastic component 66 can return from the compressed state to the original state, that is, provide elastic restoring force to the latch 60 , so as to drive the latch 60 to separate from the fixing groove 563 .

Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 and Fig. 7 to Fig. 12, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are schematic diagrams of the latch member 60 in different states of the preferred embodiment of the utility model respectively, Fig. 9 to Fig. A partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the electronic device 50 in a preferred embodiment in different states and viewing angles. As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 9 and Fig. 11, when the removable module 52 is installed in the accommodation space 561 of the casing 56, the handle 62 is rotated to a fixed position. The protruding portion 621 of this end stops against the latch 60 and pushes the latch 60 to be latched in the fixing groove 563, and the matching guide post 581 is inserted into the insertion hole 567 of the housing 56, so the removable module 52 can be stably It is fixed in the accommodating space 561 of the housing 56 , and at the same time, the other end of the elastic component 66 is pushed by the latch 60 to assume a compressed state as a whole. In addition, the shell 58 also includes an engaging portion 585, which can be a hook, and the engaging portion 585 engages the handle 62 when the handle 62 is rotated to the fixed position, so as to prevent the handle 62 from getting loose; moreover, the latch One end of the latch 60 is optionally formed with an inclined surface 605 for guiding the end of the latch 60 into the fixing groove 563 when the latch 60 is pushed by the protruding portion 621 of the handle 62 .

As shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 8, Fig. 10 and Fig. 12, when the removable module 52 is to be taken out from the accommodating space 561 of the casing 56, the engaging portion 585 can be opened first, so as to release the engaging portion 585 Combining with the handle 62, then rotate the handle 62, when the handle 62 is rotated to a release position, at this time, the protruding portion 621 of the end of the handle 62 will rotate to a position separated from the latch 60, for example, when the handle 62 rotates When reaching the position substantially perpendicular to the housing 58, the protruding portion 621 will also be substantially perpendicular to the latch 60 and separated from the latch 60. At the same time, since the elastic component 66 is no longer pressed by the latch 60, the The compressed state can be restored to the original state, which means that an elastic restoring force can be provided to the latch 60 to drive the latch 60 to separate from the fixing groove 563 . And when the engaging portion 585 is opened, since the elastic component 66 can drive the latch 60 to move toward the protruding portion 621 of the handle 62, the latch 60 can slightly push the protruding portion 621, so that the handle 62 is locked by the latch 64. The handle 62 is rotated upwards as a fulcrum to facilitate the user to pull out the handle 62 . Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 3 , the handle 62 can be pulled up, so as to lift the removable module 52 out of the accommodating space 561 of the housing 56, and then follow the guidance of the guide rail 565 of the housing 56 to tilt Pull out the removable module 52 outwards to complete the action of taking out the removable module 52 . It is worth mentioning that when the latch 60 is separated from the fixing groove 563, but the handle 62 has not been pulled up, the connector of the removable module 52 can still engage with the connector of the circuit board of the electronic device 50, that is, Said that the withdrawable module 52 is still in an operable state; until the handle 62 is pulled up to lift the withdrawable module 52 out of the accommodating space 561 of the housing 56, the connector of the withdrawable module 52 will not The connectors of the circuit board of the electronic device 50 are separated from each other, and the operation of the removable module 52 is stopped. In contrast, when it is desired to install the removable module 52 into the accommodating space 561 of the housing 56, the removable module 52 can be placed obliquely into the accommodating space 561 along the guide rail 565 of the housing 56, and then The handle 62 is rotated to the fixed position, so that the latch member 60 is latched in the fixing groove 563 , the action is as described above, and will not be repeated here.

Compared with the prior art, the fixing mechanism of the utility model for fixing the removable module does not need to use screw locking as the fixing mechanism for fixing the removable module, and the removable module can be disassembled by one-handed manipulation of the handle The purpose is that when the user manipulates the handle with one hand to lift the removable module, the mechanism of fixing the removable module by the fixing mechanism can be released simultaneously; and when the removable module is placed into the storage space and the handle is stored, it can Synchronously activate the mechanism of the fixing mechanism to fix the removable module. Therefore, the utility model can effectively reduce the difficulty of assembling, the man-hours of assembling, and the cost of assembling components, and greatly improve the convenience of assembling.
