Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a cassette accommodating box, and more particularly to a cassette (hot-swappable element) that can be easily and effortlessly withdrawn by simply pressing a button. The cassette 5 holds the box. [Prior Art] At present, if a cassette (hot-swappable component) is to be mounted on a computer main body, a cassette housing case as shown in FIG. 1 is proposed. The conventional cassette housing case includes 10 a top 11 and a top cover. 12. Side plates 13, a front plate 14, a rear plate 15, and a tray 16. The front panel 14 has a hot-swap component insertion opening 141, and the rear panel 15 has an outer surface 丨 51 and a hot-swap connector 152. In addition, the tray 16 has a bearing surface 161 and a rear side surface 163, and a return spring 162 is connected to the lower cover 11 and the tray 16, respectively, so that when the cassette (hot-swappable element) is ejected, the 15 hot-swappable element 17 is The insertion opening is disengaged from the hot-swap joint 152 and the tray 16 and the hot-swappable element 17 carried on its bearing surface ι 61 are pulled out. However, such a cassette accommodating case has many disadvantages, for example, in order to offset the bonding force existing between the insertion opening of the hot-swappable element and the hot-swap joint of the conventional cassette accommodating case, the cassette accommodating case The spring 2 force of the reset magazine used must be greater than this bonding force, otherwise the tray and the hot-swappable component carried on its bearing surface cannot be pulled out. Moreover, when the weight of the hot-swappable component is heavy (such as a detachable hard disk drive), in order to smoothly detach the tray from the hot-swappable component, the elastic force of the "return spring" to be used is also large. In addition, in order to control the tray to exit to the proper position for the user to take the hot-swappable component, the 2 200807400 ' < card_n box often needs to match the different specifications of the hot-swappable joint used at the same time (corresponding to the combination The magnitude of the force) and the weight of the hot-swappable component to be accommodated, the value of the spring force of the reset magazine used and its number are appropriately selected. In this way, not only the manufacturing complexity of the conventional card s accommodating box is greatly increased, but also the user must use a relatively large force to withdraw the card E from the conventional card ac accommodating box when using the hot-swappable component, and use it. It is quite inconvenient. Therefore, the industry is simple and low-cost, and the user can easily and effortlessly remove the card 10 (hot-swappable component) from the 10-carton accommodating box. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The card E accommodating case of the present invention is suitable for accommodating a component and the component has a - connector - the card [the accommodating case comprises: a casing comprising an opening 15 port, a second connector; a tray, coupled to the outer casing, and movable to the opening, a first shaft disposed between the outer casing and the tray; a second shaft disposed between the outer casing and the tray, and having a point Actively set on the outer casing, the second shaft is used to push the tray when the first connector and the second connector need to be disengaged; a driving end, even the first shaft and the second a shaft; and a release switch disposed on the outer casing and coupled to the first shaft 0. Therefore, when the component (cartridge) is to be withdrawn from the cassette receiving case of the present invention, the user only needs to press the release switch to The release switch drives the first shaft and the second shaft to perform related actions, so that the component can be pushed out and the first connector of the component is disconnected from the second connector located in the outer casing of the card housing case of the present invention. Therefore, in the card of the present invention, the second casing of the casing of the accommodating case is replaced by, instead of the pushing force of the second shaft of the accommodating case of the 4th of July. The cassette accommodating box utilizes the contraction spring force of the return spring. The 'card' of the 'this card' period is used to pull the magical cow out, and the elastic force provided by the "reset bomb*" withdraws the component, so the connector is not in contact with the outer casing of the nano-box of the present invention. What is the size of the bonding force between the crucibles 5, the card housing of the present invention needs to use a single-size "return spring" without having to be: - the connector and the outer casing of the cassette housing case of the present invention. The difference in the bonding force between the second connectors (corresponding to the joints of different specifications) requires replacement of the reset magazines having different elastic forces or the change of the number of the return springs, so that the manufacturing process of the card E accommodating case of the present invention is greatly simplified. The material cost is also greatly reduced.

The opening 352 of the surface 351 and a hot-swap connector 353 (i.e., the second connector 15 is implemented), the push rod 37 and the lever 38 are connected by a universal joint (i.e., the driving end 25 is realized). In addition, the hot-swappable element 4 can be placed on the carrying surface 391 of the tray 39 when the tray 39 is in a "prepared position"; the tray 39 carrying the hot-swappable element 4 when the tray 39 is in a "receiving position" Then, it is located in the space surrounded by the cover 31, the upper cover 32, the side plates 33, the front plate 34 and the rear plate 35 (i.e., in the casing 21 described above). On the other hand, a return spring 392 is connected to the tray 39 and the lower cover 31, respectively, so that the tray 39 can be returned from the "accommodating position" to the "prepared position" for the user to take out the hot-swappable member 4. Finally, in order to further reduce the weight of the tray 39, the tray 39 is further provided with a plurality of holes 394 on its bearing surface 391. 9 200807400 A card cassette accommodating box according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is different from a conventional cassette accommodating case in that a push rod 37 disposed inside the side plate 33 of the cassette accommodating case of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is connected thereto. Button 36 and lever 38. The button 36 protrudes from the front panel 34 and functions to accept the user's pressing action when the user desires to withdraw the hot-swappable member 4 from the cassette accommodating case of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the lever 38 is located on the outer surface 351 of the rear plate 35, and has a first end 381, a second end 382 and a fulcrum 383, and the first end 381 is connected to the push rod 37 by a universal joint. . On the other hand, a compression spring 371 surrounds a portion of the push rod 37 to cooperate with the convex 10 piece 372 protruding from the surface of the push rod 37 so that the push rod 37 and the button 36 connected thereto can be restored after being pressed by the user. Its "initial position". Finally, when the tray 39 and the hot-swappable member 4 carried thereby are pushed into the space surrounded by the lower cover 31, the upper cover 32, the side plates 33, the front plate 34 and the rear plate 35 (i.e., when the tray 39) When in its "receiving position", the hot-swap connector 353 at the rear plate 15 35 is inserted into the insertion hole 41 of the hot-swap component 4, so that the hot-swappable component 4 and the card having a preferred embodiment of the present invention The computer host that houses the box is electrically connected to exchange electronic signals with each other. Hereinafter, the operation of each component of the cassette accommodating case of a preferred embodiment of the present invention when a hot-swappable component is "inserted" and "exited" from the cartridge accommodating case of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be separately described. Next: First, as shown in FIG. 4, it is a top view of a cassette accommodating case according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention when a cassette (hot-swappable element) is inserted. At this time, the tray 39 is in its "prepared position", and the hot-swappable member 4 is placed by the user on the carrying surface 391 of the tray 39, so that a portion of the hot-swappable member 4 protrudes from the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The cassette accommodates the outer side of the cartridge, and the other portion is inserted into the cassette accommodating case of a preferred embodiment of the present invention through the hot-swappable component insertion opening 341 provided in the front panel 34. Subsequently, the tray 39 and the hot-swappable member 4 carried thereby are pushed in completely into the cassette accommodating case of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the return springs 392 which respectively connect the tray 39 and the lower cover 31 are "stretched" to be in the "stretched state", and the hot-swap joints 3 53 located in the rear plate 35 are inserted into the hot-swappable member 4 Port 41, so that the two are firmly combined. Finally, a spring piece (not shown) having a tray fixing function is popped up to fix the tray 39 in its "accommodating position". Next, as shown in Fig. 5, it is a top view of the card cartridge 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention when it is ejected from the cassette (hot-swappable component). At this time, the user presses the button 36 to cause the button 36 to generate a displacement toward the rear plate 35, and simultaneously pushes the push rod 37 to move therewith. Thus, the pusher 37 pushes the first end 381 of the lever 38 to move and the lever 38 rotates about its pivot point 383, causing the second end 382 of the lever 38 to move in the opposite direction (toward the front plate 34). At the same time, the second end 382 of the lever 38 passes through an opening 352 formed in the rear plate 35 against the rear side surface 393 of the tray 39 (and/or the surface of the hot-swappable component 4) and "pushes" The tray 39 and the hot-swappable element 4 carried thereon are moved in the direction toward the front plate 34. In addition, with the assistance of the specially designed shape of the push rod 37, when the push rod 37 is pushed by the button 36, the elastic piece (not shown) having the tray fixing function 20 is depressed, and the tray 39 is released from its control. And move freely. Therefore, the bonding force existing between the hot-swap joint 353 and the insertion port 41 of the hot-swap element 4 is offset by the urging force of the second end 382 of the lever 38, so that the hot-swap element 4 is detached from the bottom plate 35. The tray 39 and the hot-swappable component 4 carried thereon are conveniently pulled out to the aforementioned "preparation position" by the contraction spring force of the spring 392 which has been previously "stretched". On the other hand, when the pusher 37 is moved by the push of the button 36, the compression spring 371 is in a "compressed state" due to being compressed. Therefore, when the second end 382 of the lever 38 pushes the hot plug element 4 out, the compression spring 371 returns to its "initial position", while the button 36 and the push rod 37 are brought back to the two before being pressed. initial position. Therefore, when the cassette (hot-swappable element) is to be withdrawn from the cassette accommodating case of the present invention, the user only needs to press the button to cause the button to push the push rod and the lever of the board located behind the cassette accommodating case of the present invention. The associated action causes the second end of the lever 10 to abut against the side of the hot-swappable component and push the hot-swappable component out so that the insertion port of the hot-swappable component and the heat of the panel located behind the cassette accommodating case of the present invention The plug connector is detached. At this time, in the cassette accommodating case of the present invention, the coupling force between the insertion opening of the hot-swappable member and the hot-swap joint is offset by the urging force of the second end of the lever, instead of being accommodated as in the conventional cartridge The cartridge 15 pulls the insertion port of the hot-swappable component from the hot-swap connector by the contraction spring force of the return spring. In addition, when the insertion port of the hot-swappable component is detached from the hot-swap connector, the hot-swappable component (and the tray carrying the hot-swappable component) is contracted by the "return spring" of the cartridge accommodating case of the present invention. Further "pull out" to move the hot-swappable component (and the tray carrying the hot-swappable component) to 20 "prepared position". On the other hand, when the second end of the lever ejects the hot-swappable member, the compression spring located on the push rod returns the button and the push rod to the initial position before the two are pressed. In summary, the cassette accommodating case of the present invention uses a lever to withdraw the cassette (hot-swappable element), instead of using the elastic force of the "return spring" to force the cassette (hot-swappable element). Withdrawal, so regardless of the bonding force between the 12 200807400 insertion port of the cassette (hot-swappable component) and the hot-swap connector of the card E accommodating case of the present invention, the card E accommodating case of the present invention only needs to use a single The "reset bombing" of the specification can be used without the difference in the bonding force between the insertion port and the hot-swap connector of the card (which corresponds to different specifications). The return spring or the number of return springs is greatly simplified, and the manufacturing process of the card E accommodating case of the present invention is greatly simplified, and the material cost thereof is also greatly reduced. Moreover, since the user only needs to press the button, the force required to resist is only the elastic force of the compression magazine of the putter, and does not need to be: the elastic force of the "return spring" with a large value. Therefore, the card of the present invention can be easily and effortlessly used to withdraw the kakun (hot-swappable 7L piece) for the less powerful user, simply by pressing the button. Also, the convenience of the computer main body having the card accommodating case of the present invention is increased. The above-described embodiments are merely examples for the convenience of the description, and the scope of the claims is intended to be limited to the above embodiments.
