And the first panel 21 is adsorbed by the magnetic member 23 located on the extension plate 133 of the carrier 13, and is maintained in a standing state.

The second panel 22 is disposed on the first panel 21 and is configured to shield the first opening 211, and the second panel 22 is elastically displaceable to open the first opening 211. Specifically, the second panel 22 includes a plate body 221, a pair of pivoting pieces 222 extending rearward from the plate body 221, and a pair of springs 223. The pivoting piece 222 includes one end of the connecting plate body 221 and a substantially Y-shaped branch having a first branching section 224 and a second branching section 225. The first branching section 224 is pivotally disposed on the first panel 21, The two branch segments 225 extend rearward away from the first panel 21. The two springs 223 are tension springs. One end of each spring 223 is connected to the second branch section 225 of the pivoting piece 133, and the other end is connected to the first panel 21. The plate body 221 of the second panel 22 can be pivoted forward relative to the first panel 21 by the two pivoting pieces 222 to pivot forward relative to the first panel 21 to open the first opening 211 or pivot backward to shield the first The opening 211, and the spring 223 is an elastic restoring force that provides a state in which the plate body 221 is returned to the first opening 211.

Referring to FIGS. 4-7, the operating mechanism 3 includes a limiting member 30, a movable member 31, an operating member 32 (see FIG. 3), a return spring 33, and a pivoting seat 34. The limiting member 30 is disposed on the back surface of the first panel 21. In the embodiment, the limiting member 30 has a blocking piece 301 extending backward and extending in a sheet body. The movable member 31 is disposed on the casing 1 and includes a body 311 and a shape A first end portion 314, a second end portion 315 and a pivot portion 312 are formed on the body 311. The movable member 31 of the present embodiment has a plate structure as a whole, and the first end portion 314 is closer to the top plate 121 than the second end portion 315 and corresponds to the lower portion of the hole 124. The second end portion 315 is formed by bending the end portion of the body 311 downward into a hook shape, and the second end portion 315 is closer to the first panel 21 than the first end portion 314. The pivoting portion 312 is interposed between the first end portion 314 and the second end portion 315. The operating member 32 has a pin member for extending into the hole 124 of the top plate 121. Of course, the operating member 32 can be replaced by other elongated needle members. The return spring 33 is disposed between the pivoting seat 34 and the pivoting portion 312 of the body 311 of the movable member 31. The pivoting seat 34 is disposed on the bottom surface of the carrier plate 131 of the carrier 13 , and the body 311 is pivotally mounted on the pivoting seat 34 by the pivoting portion 312 .

Referring to FIG. 7, when the movable member 31 is not actuated by an external force, it is in an interference state (solid line position). At this time, the second end portion 315 of the movable member 31 forms an interference with the limiting member 30, specifically The interference here is that the second end portion 315 is hooked with the blocking piece 301 of the limiting member 30, but the hooking may be that the second end portion 315 is in contact with the blocking piece 301 of the limiting member 30, or both are only There is overlap in the horizontal height, so that the operation of the panel unit 2 in the forward pivoting is restricted by the second end portion 315 of the blocking piece 301 of the limiting member 30, and the state of the panel unit 2 in the shielding opening 123 is restricted. Of course, the first panel 21 is simultaneously attracted by the magnetic member 23 positioned on the carrier 13, and also has the effect of assisting in limiting the position of the first panel 21 at the shielding opening 123.

When the user needs to perform maintenance and/or replacement of the electronic component via the opening 123, the pin of the operating member 32 is extended into the hole 124 of the top plate 121 of the cover 12 and applied to the first end of the movable member 31. 314, with The movable member 31 has a rotation displacement of the first end portion 314 rearward and the second end portion 315 as a whole, so that the second end portion 315 is away from the blocking piece 301 of the limiting member 30 and is in an interference release state (imaginary line position). Therefore, the blocking piece 301 of the limiting member 30 is no longer blocked by the second end portion 315, and the user can pivot the panel unit 2 forward to open the opening 123, so that the electronic component can be exposed by the opening 123. Repair and / or replacement.

The function of the return spring 33 is that when the force for pivoting the movable member 31 disappears, the movable member 31 can be returned to the position in which the limit member 30 is in an interference state by the elastic restoring force of the return spring 33, that is, the first The two end portions 315 and the blocking piece 301 of the limiting member 30 are at least partially overlapped in the horizontal position.

In summary, the present invention utilizes the movable shielding opening 123 of the panel unit 2, the interference mechanism of the movable member 31 and the limiting member 30, and the disengagement mechanism of the operating member 32 to actuate the movable member 31, and the user does not need to use the lock. The solid tool can cover or open the opening 123, and compared with the design of the existing casing, when the maintenance is performed, it is also more convenient in the disassembly and assembly work, so that the new purpose can be achieved.

Referring to Fig. 8, a variation of the movable member 31' differs in the structural aspect of the first end portion 314'.

However, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present patent application and the contents of the patent specification, All remain within the scope of this new patent.
