The following examples are intended to describe the present invention in further detail, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Please refer to FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C. FIG. 1A is a perspective exploded view of the mounting structure 100 of the data storage device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a view showing the mounting of the data storage device 300 of FIG. 1A. A perspective view of the structure 100, and FIG. 1C is a perspective view of the electronic device 10 using the mounting structure 100 of the data storage device 300 of FIG. The electronic device 10 of the present invention includes a housing 200, a data storage device 300, and a mounting structure 100. Mounting structure 100 mounting data storage device 300 is within the housing 200. At least one mounting structure 100 can be disposed within the housing 200 to accommodate at least one data storage device 300. The data storage device 300 can be, for example, a solid state disk (Solid State Disk, or SSD). The mounting structure 100 includes a receiving frame 130, a latching member 140, a backing plate 110, and a connecting port 120. The accommodating frame 130 has a bottom portion 131 and a side wall 132. The data storage device 300 is housed between the bottom portion 131 and the side wall 132. The bottom portion 131 has an adjacent first side 131a and a second side 131b, and the first side 131a is connected to the side wall 132. The back plate 110 is disposed in the housing 200 and disposed on the second side 131b such that the second side 131b is connected to the back plate 110. The port 120 is disposed on the back plate 110 and located on the second side 131b. When the data storage device 300 is placed in the accommodating frame 130, the data storage device 300 is electrically connected to the port 120.

The engaging member 140 is pivotally disposed in the accommodating frame 130 so as to be rotatable between the first side 131a and the second side 131b. The engaging member 140 includes a rod member 141, a hook 142 and a resilient piece 143. The rod member 141 is disposed on the side wall 132. The rod member 141 has a first end 141a and a second end 141b, and the second end 141b faces the second side 131b. The hook 142 is disposed on the first end 141a of the rod 141, and the hook 142 is used to engage the data storage device 300. The elastic piece 143 has a connecting end 143a, and the connecting end 143a is connected to the second end 141b. The elastic piece 143 protrudes toward the first end 141a, and the connecting end 143a and the second end 141b are pivotally disposed on the receiving frame 130. The rod 141 and the elastic piece 143 are sandwiched and abut against the data storage device 300. When the hook 142 is detached from the data storage device 300, the elastic piece 143 can push the data storage device 300 away from the accommodating frame 130.

In this embodiment, the shape of the elastic piece 143 is an arc protruding toward the first end 141a. The elastic piece 143 further has a suspension end 143b opposite to the connection end 143a, and the suspension end 143b abuts against the back plate 110. The mounting structure 100 further includes a handle 150 disposed on the hook 142. The handle 150 is used to push the hook 142 away from the data storage device 300. The mounting structure 100 also includes a pivot 160. The engaging member 140 has a through groove 144 formed between the second end 141b and the connecting end 143a. The pivoting member 160 passes through the through slot 144 to pivot the engaging member 140 into the receiving frame 130.

Referring to FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C, a plan view of the mounting structure 100 and the data storage device 300 of FIG. 1C is shown. As shown in Fig. 2A, the suspension end 143b' can be outside the accommodating frame 130 as indicated by the dashed line in the figure before the mounting structure 100 is provided with the backing plate 110. When the backing plate 110 is disposed, the hanging end 143b can abut the backing plate 110 as shown in the solid line. Therefore, the back plate 110 can be pushed against the engaging member 140 in the clockwise direction D1 with the pivot shaft 160 as the axis. The lever 141 of the engaging member 140 is limited by the blocking of the side wall 132 so that the engaging member 140 does not continue to rotate in the clockwise direction D1. The first end 141a of the rod 141 can abut against the side wall 132, so that the hook 142 does not affect the data storage device 300 to enter the accommodating frame 130 in the installation direction D3.

As shown in FIG. 2B, when the data storage device 300 continues to move into the accommodating frame 130 along the mounting direction D3, the data storage device 300 pushes the elastic piece 143 in the mounting direction D3. The connecting end 143a of the elastic piece 143 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction D2 by the elastic piece 143 being pressed. The second end 141b connected to the connecting end 143a also rotates counterclockwise. The hook 142 also rotates in the counterclockwise direction D2 toward the data storage device 300. When the data storage device 300 continues to move in the mounting direction 130 to the range between the hook 142 and the second end 141b, the lever 141 will follow the engaging direction. The D4 is placed against the data storage device 300, and the hook 142 is blocked from the path of the data storage device 300 from the accommodating frame 130. Thereby, the elastic piece 143 is pushed into the data storage device 300 in the disassembly direction D5, but the hook 142 can be engaged with the data storage device 300 to block the data storage device 300 from leaving the receiving frame 130. At this time, the data storage device 300 can be electrically connected to the connection port 120.

As shown in FIG. 2C, when the user wants to detach the data storage device 300 from the mounting structure 100, the handle 150 can be pushed in the disengaging direction D6 opposite to the engaging direction D4, so that the hook 142 leaves the data storage device. 300 moves along the path of removal direction D5. The elastic restoring force of the elastic piece 143 is pushed against the data storage device 300 so that the data storage device 300 can leave the mounting structure 100 in the disassembly direction D5.

In summary, the present invention can mount the data storage device in the casing by the engagement of the hook of the engaging member with the data storage device. When the data storage device is to be detached from the casing, the data storage device can be pushed out from the accommodating frame by the elastic piece of the engaging member by pushing the hook away from the data storage device.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the foregoing embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. It is within the scope of the invention to be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Please refer to the attached patent application for the scope of protection defined by the present invention.
