The sliding rail structure is widely used for the insertion or extraction of two electronic devices to form an electrical connection or disconnection, which is a well-known technology.

As shown in FIG. 1 , it shows an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of a removable electronic device. The removable electronic device includes a host 10 , such as a server, and an extractor 20 , such as a network card. The host 10 includes a first board 101 having a connector 102 , such as a motherboard, and a pair of fixing rails 103 are provided on opposite sides of the connector 102 , and each of the fixing rails 103 has a rail groove 104 . The extraction part 20 has a second plate 201, such as a circuit board (shown in FIG. 2), and a connecting plug (not shown due to the projection angle) is disposed on the inner side of the second plate 201 corresponding to the position of the connector 102, and A pair of sliding rails 202 extend opposite to each other on both sides, and each of the sliding rails 202 defines a locking hole 203 .

When the extractor 20 is to be combined into the host 10, the user only needs to insert the pair of sliding rails 202 into the pair of rail grooves 104 of the pair of fixed rails 103, and slide inward along the pair of rail grooves 104, Until the connection plug is plugged into the connector 102 to form an electrical connection.

As shown in FIG. 2 , it shows the arrangement of the first plate 101 and the second plate 201 , that is to say, the pair of fixing rails 103 are installed on the top surface of the first plate 101 facing each other and at intervals , and the second board 201 is inserted between the pair of fixing rails 103 and located above the first board 101 , so that the second board 201 forms a board shape relative to the first board 101 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , it shows an exploded perspective view of a second embodiment of a conventional removable electronic device. The removable electronic device includes a host 10 , such as a server, and an extractor 20 , such as a network card. The host 10 includes a first board 101 , such as a host board, the first board 101 has a rectangular board hole 105 , and a connector 102 is connected inside the board hole 105 , and opposite sides of the board hole 105 are connected. A pair of fixed rails 103 are disposed toward the ground, and each of the fixed rails 103 has a rail groove 104 . The extraction part 20 has a second plate 201, such as a circuit board (shown in FIG. 4), and a connecting plug (not shown because of the projection angle) is disposed on the inner side of the second plate 201 corresponding to the position of the connector 102, and A pair of sliding rails 202 extend opposite to each other on both sides, and each of the sliding rails 202 defines a locking hole 203 .
