Description

Electronic device and fixing mechanism thereof

The present invention relates to a securing mechanism, and more particularly to a securing mechanism that can be used to secure data access devices of different heights.

In order to enable the optical disc drive to be firmly fixed in the bottom cover of the electronic device, it is common practice to lock a U-shaped or L-shaped iron member around the optical disc drive and use the screw to fix the iron member and The bottom cover is combined so that the optical disk drive can be completely fixed in the direction of the three axial directions (i.e., the XYZ direction).

However, with the development of computer technology, optical discs with different needs have different thickness designs. There are two main types of optical disc drives of the present specification, one having a thickness of 9.0 mm and the other having a thickness of 12.7 mm. In order to respond to these two thicknesses, the computer assembly factory has to develop two different molds for the two types of optical disc drives to manufacture iron parts for different optical disc drives. In this way, not only does the cost impose a great burden, but fixing the optical disk drive with iron parts also increases the overall weight of the body, and is also relatively inconvenient in maintenance and disassembly.

Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new fixed structure to solve the aforementioned problems.
