Description

Electronic device and baffle

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to electronic devices and, particularly, to an electronic device and a shutter capable of preventing an optical disc from falling into a housing.

Background

Generally, an electronic device such as a desktop computer or a server is equipped with an optical disc drive, so that a user can put an optical disc into the optical disc drive to read information stored in the optical disc.

In order to enable the optical disc drive to be smoothly installed into the casing from the opening of the casing of the electronic device, the height of the opening is usually slightly larger than that of the optical disc drive, so as to avoid the deformation of the casing of the optical disc drive when the optical disc drive is placed into the casing from the opening, thereby affecting the operation of the tray of the optical disc drive. However, when the height of the opening is slightly greater than that of the optical disc drive, a gap is formed between the optical disc drive and the edge of the opening of the casing, so that a user may easily place the optical disc into the gap by careless mistake when the user wants to place the optical disc on the tray under the condition that the tray is withdrawn, and the optical disc falls into the casing. Thus, the user also needs to remove the whole casing to take out the optical disc, which is quite inconvenient. In view of this, those skilled in the art are currently working to solve the aforementioned problems.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an electronic device and a baffle to solve the above problems.

Detailed Description

Please refer to fig. 1 to 3. Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a portion of an electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present utility model. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the optical disc drive of FIG. 1 before being mounted on a chassis. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a portion of the electronic device of fig. 1 in cross-section.

In the present embodiment, the electronic device 1 includes a housing 10, an optical disc drive 20, and a blocking plate 30. The casing 10 has a receiving space 11, an assembling port 12 and an inner wall 13. The assembly opening 12 is rectangular, for example, and is formed by two long edges 121, 122 opposite to each other and two short edges 123, 124 opposite to each other. The assembly opening 12 is communicated with the accommodating space 11, and the inner wall surface 13 is positioned in the accommodating space 11 and positioned at the top of the accommodating space 11.

The optical disc drive 20 includes a housing 21 and a tray 22. The housing 21 is fitted into the accommodation space 11 of the casing 10 through the assembly port 12 of the casing 10. The housing 21 has an upper surface 211, and the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 faces the inner wall surface 13 of the housing 10, and the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 forms a gap G with the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 closer to the inner wall surface 13. The tray 22 includes a carrier 221 and a panel 222 connected thereto. The carrying plate 221 is movably disposed in the housing 21, and the carrying plate 221 can be withdrawn from the housing 21 for placing an optical disc 2 (as shown in fig. 6) or for taking the optical disc 2 from the carrying plate 221. The panel 222 is located outside the housing 21 and located at the assembly opening 12 of the casing 10 and shields the gap G of the portion.

Next, please refer to fig. 3 to 5. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a portion of the electronic device of fig. 1 in cross-section. Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view of the flap of fig. 2. Fig. 5 is another partially cross-sectional schematic view of the electronic device of fig. 1.

The baffle 30 is made of, for example, but not limited to, an elastically deformable material, wherein the baffle 30 may be a plastic sheet such as Mylar (Mylar). The blocking piece 30 includes a fixing portion 31, a blocking portion 32, and a limiting portion 33. The fixing portion 31 is fixed to the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 by, for example, but not limited to, adhesion. The length L1 of the fixing portion 31 is, for example, equal to the width W of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20. Thus, in the process of fixing the fixing portion 31 to the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20, the fixing portion 31 is prevented from being fixed to the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 in a skewed state. The blocking portion 32 has a first side 321, a second side 322, a third side 323, and a fourth side 324. The first side 321 and the second side 322 are opposite to each other, and the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 are opposite to each other and adjacent to the first side 321 and the second side 322. The first side 321 of the blocking portion 32 is connected to the fixing portion 31, and the blocking portion 32 moves relative to the fixing portion 31. For example, the blocking portion 32 further has two folding lines FL, and the folding lines FL are located on the first side 321. The first side 321 of the blocking portion 32 is connected to the fixing portion 31 by a fold line FL, so that the blocking portion 32 can be folded or unfolded with respect to the fixing portion 31. The stopper portion 33 is, for example, but not limited to, a rectangular groove, the stopper portion 33 extends from the stopper portion 32 to the fixing portion 31, for example, and the extension line EL of the two-fold line FL passes through the stopper portion 33. The distance D is between the limiting portion 33 and the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 of the blocking portion 32, and the distance D between the limiting portion 33 and the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 of the blocking portion 32 is equal. The length L2 of the limiting portion 33 is, for example, smaller than the diameter R of the optical disc 2 (refer to fig. 6), and larger than the length L3 of the assembly opening 12 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2. It can also be said that the length L2 of the stopper 33 is greater than the length L3 of the long edge 121 or 122 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2. In other words, the length L2 of the stopper 33 is larger than the distance between the short edges 123 and 124 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2.

It should be noted that the distance D from the third side 323 to the fourth side 324 of the stop portion 33 to the blocking portion 32 is not limited to be equal. In other embodiments, it should be noted that the distance from the third side 323 to the fourth side 324 of the stop portion may not be equal. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the limiting portion may be directly connected to the third side 323 or the fourth side 324 of the blocking portion. In this way, the blocking portion may have only one fold line to connect to the fixing portion.

Before the optical disc drive 20 to which the blocking piece 30 is attached is mounted into the accommodating space 11 from the assembly port 12 of the chassis 10, the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is folded toward the fixing portion 31. Next, the optical disc drive 20 is gradually loaded into the accommodating space 11 from the assembling port 12 of the housing 10. In the process of the blocking piece 30 passing through the assembling port 12 of the casing 10, the long edge 121 of the assembling port 12 will abut against the blocking portion 32, so that the included angle θ between the blocking portion 32 and the fixing portion 31 becomes smaller gradually. After the blocking piece 30 passes through the assembling port 12 of the casing 10 and reaches the accommodating space 11, the blocking portion 32 is not pressed by the long edge 121 of the assembling port 12 and rebounds, so that the included angle θ between the blocking portion 32 and the fixing portion 31 becomes larger.

After the optical disc drive 20 to which the blocking piece 30 is attached is mounted into the accommodating space 11 from the assembly port 12 of the housing 10, the blocking portion 32 is located between the inner wall surface 13 of the housing 10 and the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20, and the second side 322 of the blocking portion 32 abuts against the inner wall surface 13 of the housing 10. The blocking portion 32 is inclined relative to the fixing portion 31 to form an angle θ with the fixing portion 31, wherein the angle θ between the fixing portion 31 and the blocking portion 32 is an acute angle and is, for example, greater than 10 degrees and less than 90 degrees. Further, the stopper 33 corresponds to the gap G. The limiting portion 33 has an edge 331 far from the fixing portion 31, and the edge 331 of the limiting portion 33 and the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 are located on the same side of the optical disc drive 20. The edge 331 of the limiting portion 33 is farther from the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 than the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12. That is, the distance D1 from the edge 331 of the limiting portion 33 away from the fixing portion 31 to the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 is greater than the height H of the gap G relative to the upper surface 211 of the housing 21, such that the orthographic projection of the gap G on the limiting portion 33 falls completely within the area of the limiting portion 33.

Next, please refer to fig. 6 to 8. Fig. 6 and 7 are schematic partial sectional views of an optical disc placed in the gap being stopped by a shutter. Fig. 8 is a schematic partial sectional view of an optical disc placed in the gap to the left stopped by a shutter.

In the process of putting the optical disc 2 into the optical disc drive 20, the tray 22 of the optical disc drive 20 is required to withdraw from the housing 21. At this time, the gap G is exposed, and the user may put the optical disc 2 into the gap G by mistake. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the optical disc 2 is directly limited by the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 and cannot move forward, so that the optical disc 2 is prevented from falling into the housing 10. On the other hand, as shown in fig. 8, if the optical disc 2 is placed in the gap G by the left side of the gap G, the short edge 123 of the assembly opening 12 of the housing 10 guides the optical disc 2 to move toward the middle of the gap G, so that the optical disc 2 entering the gap G can be limited by the limiting portion 33 of the baffle 30 and cannot move forward, so that the optical disc 2 can be prevented from falling into the housing 10 as a whole. Similarly, if the optical disc 2 is placed in the gap G (not shown) by the right side of the gap G, the short edge 124 of the assembly opening 12 of the housing 10 guides the optical disc 2 to move toward the middle of the gap G, so that the optical disc 2 entering the gap G can be limited by the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 and cannot move forward, so that the optical disc 2 can be prevented from falling into the housing 10.

Therefore, by fixing the fixing portion 31 of the blocking piece 30 to the optical disc drive 20, the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is obliquely connected to the fixing portion 31 and located between the inner wall 13 of the casing 10 and the optical disc drive 20, the blocking portion 32 abuts against the inner wall 13 of the casing 10, and the limiting portion 33 is located at the blocking portion 32 and corresponding to the gap G formed by the optical disc drive 20 and the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12, after the optical disc 2 is placed in the gap G, the limiting portion 33 is used to stop the optical disc 2, so as to prevent the optical disc 2 from falling into the casing 10 as a whole.

Furthermore, by the arrangement that the blocking portion 32 is connected to the fixing portion 31 in an inclined manner, the optical disc 2 can be guided to the limiting portion 33 after the optical disc 2 is inserted into the gap G, so that the optical disc 2 is limited by the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30.

In addition, by setting the limit part 33 of the baffle plate 30 far from the edge 331 of the fixing part 31 and far from the optical disc drive 20 than the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12, the optical disc 2 entering the gap G can be ensured to be limited by the limit part 33 of the baffle plate 30. It should be noted that the edge of the limiting portion of the blocking piece far from the fixing portion is not limited to the long edge far from the optical disc drive than the long edge of the assembling port. In other embodiments, the distance from the edge of the limiting portion of the blocking piece away from the fixing portion to the optical disc drive may be equal to the distance from the long edge of the assembly opening to the optical disc drive.

In the present embodiment, the angle θ between the fixing portion 31 and the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is an acute angle, and the configuration of greater than 10 degrees and less than 90 degrees can further enhance the effect of the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 to stop the optical disc 2. It should be noted that the included angle θ between the fixing portion 31 and the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is not limited to an acute angle. In other examples, the included angle between the fixed portion and the blocking portion of the blocking piece may be an obtuse angle, and other measures may be added on the side of the blocking portion of the blocking piece away from the assembly opening, so as to prevent the included angle between the fixed portion and the blocking portion of the blocking piece from being gradually increased due to pushing of the optical disc, so that failure of the limiting portion may be avoided. In another embodiment, the fixing portion and the blocking portion of the blocking piece may have no included angle therebetween, and the blocking portion of the blocking piece may have a C-shape.

On the other hand, the limit portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 is a slot, and the length L2 of the limit portion 33 is smaller than the diameter R of the optical disc 2 and larger than the length L3 of the assembly opening 12 minus the value of the diameter R of the optical disc 2, so that the effect of the limit portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 for blocking the optical disc 2 can be further enhanced. It should be noted that the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 is not limited to a slot. In other embodiments, the limiting portion of the blocking piece may be changed to other suitable structures, as long as the limiting portion is connected to the blocking portion.

In the present embodiment, the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 extends from the blocking portion 32 to the fixing portion 31, so that the acting force applied by the optical disc 2 can be dispersed to the blocking portion 32 and the fixing portion 31 during the pressing process of the optical disc 2, so as to avoid the rupture of the connection portion between the limiting portion 33 and the fixing portion 31. It should be noted that if the structural strength of the connection between the limiting portion and the fixing portion is sufficient, the limiting portion of the blocking piece may be located only on the blocking portion.

In the present embodiment, the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 can move relative to the fixing portion 31 and elastically deform, so that the optical disc drive 20 with the blocking piece 30 attached thereon can be conveniently installed into the accommodating space 11 from the assembling opening 12 of the housing 10, and the blocking piece 30 can rebound and abut against the inner wall surface 13 of the housing 10 after passing through the assembling opening 12 of the housing 10, thereby providing the effect of blocking the optical disc 2. It should be noted that the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is not limited to being movable and elastically deformable with respect to the fixing portion 31. In other embodiments, the blocking portion of the blocking piece may instead be immovable relative to the fixing portion and elastically deformed. In such a configuration, the blocking piece may not be loaded into the cabinet together with the optical disc drive, but may be fixed to the optical disc drive after the optical disc drive is loaded into the cabinet and in a state that the upper cover of the cabinet is opened.

Furthermore, the use of plastic sheets for the blocking sheet 30 can save cost, but the utility model is not limited thereto. The baffle may be a metal sheet without any cost consideration.

According to the electronic device and the baffle disclosed in the embodiments, the fixing portion of the baffle is fixed to the optical disc drive, the baffle of the baffle is obliquely connected to the fixing portion and located between the inner wall surface of the casing and the optical disc drive, the baffle is abutted against the inner wall surface of the casing, and the limiting portion is connected to the baffle and corresponds to the arrangement of a gap formed by the edge of the optical disc drive and the assembly opening, so that the optical disc can be prevented from falling into the casing as a whole by the limiting portion after the optical disc is placed into the gap.

Furthermore, by means of the arrangement that the blocking part is obliquely connected with the fixing part, the optical disc can be guided to the limiting part after being inserted into the gap, so that the optical disc is limited by the limiting part of the blocking piece.

In addition, by the arrangement that the limit part of the baffle plate is far away from the edge of the fixing part and the long edge of the assembling port is far away from the CD driver, the CD entering the gap can be ensured to be limited by the limit part of the baffle plate.

In addition, the spacing portion of separation blade extends to the setting of fixed part from the separation blade, can be in the in-process that the CD received the pressure, disperses the effort that the CD applyed on separation blade and fixed part to avoid the junction between spacing portion and the fixed part to break.

Although the utility model has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited thereto, but rather, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made herein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model as defined by the appended claims.
