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. 1316701 A card cartridge accommodating case according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is different from a conventional cassette accommodating container 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 38, a second end 382 and a point 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 block 372 protruding from the surface of the push rod, so that the push rod 37 and the button 36 connected thereto can be pressed by the user. Revert to its "initial location". 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 % and the rear plate 35 (i.e., when the tray 39 is 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 makes an electrical connection 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 card E accommodating case of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be separately described. Next: First, as shown in Fig. 4, it is a top view of the cassette accommodating case of the preferred embodiment of the present invention when the card E (hot-swappable element) is inserted. At this time, the tray % is in its "preparation position", and the hot-swappable component 4 is placed on the bearing surface 391 of the tray 39 by the user, so that the portion of the hot-swappable component 突出 protrudes from the preferred embodiment of the second embodiment of the present invention. The outer side of the case is lightly received, and the other part is inserted into the card E accommodating case of a preferred embodiment of the present invention through the hot-swappable component insertion opening 341 of the front plate 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 reset magazines of the trays 39 and the lower lids 31 are respectively "stretched" and are in a "stretched state", and the hot-swap joints 353 located at the rear plate 35 are inserted into the hot-swappable members 4 The port 41 is inserted so that the two are firmly joined together. Finally, the shrapnel with the tray fixing function (Fig. + not shown) pops up to secure > _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 the card H (hot plug component) is ejected. At this time, the user presses the button 36 to cause the button 36 to be generated (4) in the direction toward the rear (four), and at the same time, the pusher 37 is driven to move therewith. Thus, the pusher 37 pushes the first end 381 of the broken lever % 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 panel 34). At the same time, the second end 382 of the lever 38 passes through the opening 352 of the rear panel and abuts against the rear side surface 393 of the tray 39 (and/or the hot-swappable component meter ► Table 2) and The tray 39 and the hot-swappable member 4 carried thereon are moved in the direction toward the W-plate 34. In addition, with the aid of the specially designed shape of the push rod, when the push rod 37 is pushed by the button 36, the elastic piece having the tray fixing function 2 (not shown) is dusted, and the tray 39 is detached from the tray 39 Control and move freely. Therefore, the bonding force existing between the hot-swap joint 353 and the insertion port 41 of the hot-swappable member 4 is offset by the urging force of the second end of the lever %, so that the hot-swappable member 4 is detached from the bottom plate 35. The tray 39 and the hot-swappable component carried on the tray are continuously pulled out to the aforementioned "preparation position" by the contraction spring force of the spring 392 which has been previously in the "stretched state". In addition, the 'the aspect' was previously in a "compressed state" when the pusher 37 was moved while being pushed by the button 36. Therefore, when the second end 382 of the lever 38 pushes the hot plug component 4 out, the compression spring 371 returns to its 5 "initial position" while the button 36 and the push rod 37 are brought back until both are pressed. The 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 board located behind the card 匣谷纳盒 of the present invention. The lever performs the relevant action, causing 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 rear plate of the cassette accommodating case of the present invention The hot 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 disconnected from the hot plug (4), the hot-swappable component (and the tray carrying the hot-swappable component) is received by the "return spring" of the cartridge of the present invention. The contraction spring force is further "pulled out", causing the hot-swappable component (and the tray carrying the hot-swappable component) to move to the "preparation position". On the other hand, when the second end of the lever ejects the hot-swappable element, the retracting spring located on the push rod returns the push rod to the initial position before the two are pressed. In summary, the card g-accommodating box of the present invention uses the crossbar to withdraw the card with the hot-swappable component, instead of using the 25 force provided by the "return spring" to withdraw the hot-swappable component. Therefore, regardless of the card 13 (hot-swappable component) 12 1316701 large, f, rabbit Γ ^ E ^ nano-box hot-plug joint between the position of the bullet: the invention of the card E containing box only need to use a single - specification The "complex rod ^" does not have to be due to the insertion of the card E (hot-swappable element) and the thermal step _, the difference in the mouth force (corresponding to the joint of different specifications) 10 15 :, the return spring of different elastic force or change The number of return springs, j, the manufacturing process of the card E-accommodating case of the invention is greatly simplified, and the material thereof is greatly reduced. Moreover, since the user only needs to press the button, the required force is only the elastic force of the compression spring of the putter. Without the need to resist the elastic force of a large return spring. Therefore, the card accommodating box of the present invention can be easily and effortlessly inserted into the 7° piece by simply pressing the button, and the user can be used for less powerful users.
