The movement locus of the second rotation pin 1417 in the arcuate groove 133 is not concentric with the rotation locus of the first rotation pin 1416 in the first rear end chute 1122, that is, when the second rotation pin 1417 slides along the arcuate groove 133. The first rotating pin 1416 is in contact with the first rear chute 1122 so that the linkage 11 can be pushed. In this embodiment, the arcuate groove 133 and the second rotation pin 1417 are not centered on the rotation arc of the pivot 1415 and are close to the pivot 1415.

The two fixing pins 15 are fixedly disposed with respect to the fixing base 13 , and are respectively disposed through the first front sliding slot 1121 of the linking member 11 and are slidably received in the second front sliding slot 1211 of the sliding member 12 .

Hereinafter, an operation procedure of the functional module in which the detachable mechanism 100 is detachably mounted in the interlocking member 11 in the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. By moving the operating member 14 to rotate the operating member 14 about the pivot 1415, the linkage 11 is switchable between the locked state and the unlocked state.

4 is a schematic view showing the disassembly mechanism 100 in a locked state. When in the locked state, the second rotating pin 1417 of the operating member 14 is located at the locking end 1332 of the arcuate groove 133 of the fixing seat 13, and the first rotating pin 1416 is located at the first rear sliding slot 1122 and the second rear sliding slot. At the opening of 1212, the fixing pin 15 abuts against the top of the first front end chute 1121 and the second front end chute 1211. At this point, the function module is locked to the current installation position.

When unlocked, the operating member 14 is pulled in the direction indicated by the arrow A in Fig. 4 (clockwise direction), and the operating member 14 is rotated about the pivot 1415, and the first and second rotating pins 1416, 1417 follow the rotation. The first rotating pin 1416 received in the first rear sliding slot 1122 and the second rear sliding slot 1212 will push the sliding member 12 along the X-axis direction and toward the front end of the linkage member 11, and at the same time, the fixing pin 15 and Under the constraint of the second front end chute 1211, the front end of the slider 12 and the linkage 11 simultaneously move in the Y-axis direction. At the same time, the second rotating pin 1417 received in the arcuate groove 133 of the fixing seat 13 slides along the arcuate groove 133 toward the open end 1331, because the arcuate groove 133 and the second rotating pin 1417 rotate about the pivot 1415. Not coincident, and close to the pivot 1415, so that when the second rotating pin 1417 slides along the curved slot 133, under the constraint of the first rotating pin 1416 and the first rear sliding slot 1122, the rear end of the linkage 11 along the Y axis Moving upwards, the linkage between the front end and the rear end of the linkage 11 can be achieved. When the second rotating pin 1417 is disengaged from the open end 1331 of the arcuate groove 133, and when the fixing pin 15 is disengaged from the first front end chute 1121 and the second front end chute 1211, the interlocking member 11 and the receiving member 11 can be accommodated. The function module in it is removed.

Locked state.

In the disassembly and assembly process, the linkage 11 of the disassembly mechanism 100 and the functional module housed therein are integrally moved in the Y direction, thereby avoiding damage to the connector of the connection function module and the main board when the function module is moved. . In operation, only the operating member 14 needs to be pulled It can be rotated, easy to operate and labor-saving, and can be applied to functional modules with heavy disassembly.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first front end chute 1121, the second front end chute 1211, the first rear chute 1122, the second rear chute 1212, the fixed pin 15, the first rotating pin 1416, and the first The two rotation pins 1417 and the like are all present in pairs, and of course, one of the above members may be provided only on one side.
