Therefore, as shown in the third to fourth figures, when the rotating member 4 is rotated away from the base 1, the rotating member 4 will drive the carrier 2 to move to the second position away from the connector 3, since the electronic peripheral device 100 follows the carrier 2 Moving, so the rotating member 4 also drives the connecting jaw 101 and the connector 3 to be separated from each other; as shown in the fifth to sixth figures, when the rotating member 4 is rotated toward the base 1, the rotating member 4 will drive the carrier 2 to move to the first The position is close to the connector 3, and since the electronic peripheral device 100 follows the carrier 2, the rotating member 4 also drives the connecting port 101 and the connector 3 to be inserted into each other. Thereby, the user rotating the rotating member 4 can drive the connecting port 101 and the connector 3 to be plugged or separated from each other, so that the electronic peripheral device 100 can be quickly inserted or separated from the connector 3 to enhance the hot plug structure 10 and the electronic device. The plugging efficiency and ease of use between the peripheral devices 100.

In addition, the conventional electronic peripheral device and the carrier are locked by hand tools and several screws. However, the two upright plates 15 of the creation base 1 have opposite two protrusions 151 and two opposite grooves 152. The two side plates 25 have opposite two elastic pieces 251, and each of the elastic pieces 251 faces away from the upright plate 15. A protruding block 252 is extended; as shown in the third to fourth figures, when the rotating member 4 drives the carrier 2 to move to the second position, the elastic piece 251 is disposed opposite to the groove 152, so that the elastic piece 251 has a direction toward the groove 152. The ability to move, because the elastic piece 251 is moved by the thrust of the electronic peripheral device 100 to the groove 152, the two elastic pieces 251 cannot be clamped inwardly to the electronic peripheral device 100, so that the electronic peripheral device 100 can be freely removed from the carrier 2. As shown in the fifth to sixth figures, when the rotating member 4 drives the carrier 2 to move to the first position, the elastic piece 251 is disposed opposite to the protruding piece 151, and the two protruding pieces 151 can abut against the two elastic pieces 251. The two elastic pieces 251 are moved inwardly and the electronic peripheral device 100 is clamped, and the electronic peripheral device 100 is mounted and positioned on the carrier 2 in a clamped manner. Thereby, the process of installing or disassembling the electronic peripheral device 100 on the carrier 2 does not require additional auxiliary tools or disassembling components, and there is no problem that the disassembly and assembly process is cumbersome and the components are easily omitted, so that the hot-swappable structure 10 has excellent Disassembly and assembly efficiency and ease of use.

In addition, the carrier 2 has a latching portion 22, and the rotating member 4 has a latching portion 47. When the rotating member 4 drives the carrier 2 to move to the first position, the latching portion 47 is engaged with the engaging portion 22. Therefore, the carrier 2 is locked by the rotating member 4 and cannot be moved, and the carrier 2 is maintained at a position where the connecting port 101 and the connector 3 are inserted into each other to prevent the connection port 101 from being separated from the connector 3 when shaking or impacting. In this case, the electronic peripheral device 100 is stably electrically connected to the connector 3.

Further, the carrier 2 has a protruding plate 23 extending away from the base 1 and a recess 231 formed between the base 1 and the protruding plate 23. The base 1 extends in the direction of the recess 231 with a top abutting block 16 for rotation. The piece 4 can be hidden in the groove 231 and abutted against the block 16 to make the rotating piece 4 There is a distance between the base 1 and the carrier 2 to prevent the rotating member 4 from directly contacting the base 1 and the carrier 2 during the rotation to generate friction, thereby enhancing the smoothness of the rotation of the rotating member 4.
