The second side wall 23 is provided with two elastic pieces 231 inclined in the magnetic frame 20 between the flaps 24 and 25. Each of the elastic pieces 231 protrudes from the magnetic frame 20 with a protrusion 234.

The two locks have the same structure, and each of the locks includes a fixing base 30, an operating member 40 and a latching member 50.

Each of the fixing bases 30 includes a fixing plate 31 and two fixing arms 33 extending perpendicularly from one side of the fixing plate 31 adjacent to the opposite edges 312. The other edge of the fixing plate 31 connecting the opposite edges 312 defines two spaced apart slots, so that a resilient portion 315 is formed between the two slots. Each of the fixed arms 33 is provided with a first pivot hole 331 and a second pivot hole 334 spaced apart from each other. Two guiding grooves 336 are defined on one side of each fixing arm 33 toward the opposite fixing arms 33. The two guiding grooves 336 extend from the edge of the fixing arm 33 to the first pivot hole 331 and the second of the fixing arm 33, respectively. Pivot hole 334.

Each of the operating members 40 includes a trigger portion 41. A middle portion of one end of the pulling portion 41 is obliquely extended to extend a connecting portion 43. The opposite sides of the connecting portion 43 away from the end of the pulling portion 41 respectively extend outwardly from a wedge-shaped abutting block 45, wherein the tip end of each wedge-shaped abutting block 45 is curved and faces the pulling The portion 41 and a tip 46 of each of the wedge-shaped abutting blocks 45 form a gap 46 with the trigger portion 41. A first pivoting shaft 47 extends outwardly from a side wall of the abutting block 45 away from the connecting portion 43 away from the triggering portion 41. The connecting line of the axes of the two first pivoting shafts 47 is The pivot axis of the operating member 40.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , each of the fastening components 50 includes a fastening portion 51 with a buckle 514 protruding from the inner side wall and an end of the fastening portion 51 bent toward the inner side wall of the fastening portion 51 . Two spaced apart pivoting portions 53 are formed. A side of each of the pivoting portions 53 facing away from the opposite pivoting portion 53 protrudes from the bend to a second pivoting shaft 532. Each of the pivoting portions 53 is provided with a slope 531 inclined to the inner side wall of the connecting portion 51. The slope 531 is provided with a recess 534, and a side of the recess 534 away from the latching portion 51 forms an abutting wall 535. The side of the recess 534 adjacent to the latching portion 51 forms an arcuate corner 537 with the slope 531.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in the assembly, the fixing plates 31 of the two fixing bases 30 are respectively slid into the corresponding two hooks 223 by the corresponding protrusions 224 and 227 of the two mounting assemblies, and each fixing plate 31 is used. The elastic portion 315 is elastically deformed outwardly. When the opposite ends of the two fixing plates 31 from the elastic portion 315 abut against the corresponding protrusions 225 and the protruding portions 228, respectively, the two edges 312 of each fixing plate 31 are respectively placed. Corresponding two hooks 223, the elastic portions 315 of the two fixing plates 31 elastically return to the abutting portions 226, 229 of the corresponding protrusions 224, 227, respectively. Thus, the two fixing bases 30 are fixed to the magnetic frame 20. Then, the two locking members are installed, and for each of the locking members, the two fixing arms 33 of the fixing base 30 are outwardly pulled, so that the two first pivoting shafts 47 of the operating member 40 are respectively along the first of the two fixing arms 33. The two guiding grooves 336 corresponding to the pivot hole 331 are slid and inserted into the two first pivot holes 331. The two pivoting portions 53 of the latching member 50 are rotatably inserted into the gaps 46 between the two abutting blocks 45 of the operating member 40 and the triggering portion 41, respectively. The two fixing arms 33 of the fixing member 30 are slid outwardly, and the two second pivoting shafts 532 of the locking member 50 are respectively slid along the two guiding grooves 336 of the second pivoting holes 334 of the two fixing arms 33. The two second pivoting holes 334 are inserted into the recesses 534 of the two pivoting portions 53 of the latching member 50. Therefore, the operating member 40 and the latching member 50 are rotatably coupled to the corresponding fixing base 30.

Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 5, when the data accessor 10 is to be fixed, the data accessor 10 is loaded from one end of the magnetic frame 20, and the data accessor 10 is mounted in the magnetic frame 20. Between the flaps 24 and 25, the tabs 234 of the elastic piece 231 of the second side wall 23 of the magnetic frame 20 are respectively inserted into the two fixing holes 131 of a side wall 13 of the data access device 10, and the data is The two fixing holes 131 on the other side wall 13 of the accessor 10 are respectively aligned with the through holes 221 on the first side wall 22 of the magnetic frame 20. The urging portions 41 of the two operating members 40 are rotated in the direction of the first side wall 22, and the tips of the two abutting blocks 45 of each operating member 40 are respectively at the grooves 534 of the two pivoting portions 53 of the corresponding latching members 50. The inner top wall 535 is rotated and abuts against the top, thereby pushing the corresponding latching member 50 to rotate about the second pivoting shaft 532. The latching portion 51 of each latching member 50 is turned away from the corresponding operating member 40 to the first side wall 22 of the magnetic frame 20. When each of the operating members 40 is rotated to abut the corresponding blocking member (ie, the protrusion 225 or the protruding portion 228) on the magnetic frame 20, the two abutting blocks 45 of each operating member 40 respectively vertically abut the corresponding locking members. The abutting wall 535 of the two pivoting portions 53 of the 50, the buckle 514 of each of the latching members 50 passes through the corresponding through hole 221 of the first side wall 22 and snaps into the corresponding fixing hole 131 of the data accessor 10 Thereby locking the data accessor 10. At this time, the two pulling portions 41 are released. For each of the locking members, the two abutting blocks 45 of the operating member 40 respectively vertically abut against the abutting wall 535 of the two pivoting portions 53 of the latching member 50, that is, the abutting blocks 45 are abutted against the corresponding ones. A vertical line connecting the tip end of the top wall 535 to the pivot axis of the operating member 40 is perpendicular to the abutting wall 535 of the two pivoting portions 53 of the corresponding latching member 50, and the two abutting walls 535 respectively act on the The direction of the force of the two abutting blocks 45 is directed to the pivot axis of the operating member 40, and the two abutting blocks 45 cannot be rotated, so that the latching member 50 and the operating member 40 are in a self-locking state.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 again, when the data accessor 10 is to be unlocked, the triggering portions 41 of the two operating members 40 are rotated away from the first side wall 22, and the two abutting blocks of each operating member 40 45 is rotated in the groove 534 of the two pivoting portions 53 of the corresponding latching member 50 and respectively pushes the corresponding curved corners 537, and the latching portions 51 of each of the latching members 50 are away from the first side wall 22 toward the corresponding operation. The member 40 is rotated until the buckle 514 of each of the fasteners 50 exits the corresponding fixing hole 131 of the data accessor 10 and the corresponding through hole 221 of the first side wall 22. At this time, the data accessor 10 is unlocked, and it can be taken out from the magnetic frame 20.

In other embodiments, the mounting components of the magnetic frame 20 can be omitted. The fixing plates 31 of the two fixing bases 30 can be directly mounted on the magnetic frame 20 through a common fixing manner such as a glue or a locking screw. A stopper is disposed on the magnetic frame 20, or a stopper is disposed adjacent to each of the fixing plates 31 on the magnetic frame 20 to replace the protrusion 225 or the protrusion 228 in the embodiment, in the corresponding operation of the fastening member 50. The member 40 resists the operating member 40 when it is in the self-locking state, preventing the operating member 40 from excessively rotating.
