[0026] As shown in
[0027] As shown in
[0028] As shown in
[0029] In this embodiment, the support member 1242 may comprise a first slot 12420 and a second slot 12422, wherein the first slot 12420 is connected to the second slot 12422. The first slot 12420 and the second slot 12422 are connected to each other to be L-shaped. Furthermore, the rotating member 1244 may comprise a driving portion 12440. As shown in
[0030] In this embodiment, the interior of the casing 10 may comprise a stop member 104 and an unlock portion 106, as shown in
[0031] Then, a user may rotate the handle 122 from the first position (as shown in
[0032] As shown in
[0033] As shown in
[0034] The socket 1284 comprises a rail 12840 and the carrier member 1286 has a sliding portion 12860. An end of the carrier member 1286 is connected to the moving member 1280 and the sliding portion 12860 is disposed in the rail 12840. Accordingly, the moving member 1280 can drive the carrier member 1286 to move with respect to the socket 1284. It should be noted that the number of the sliding portions 12860 and the rails 12840 may be determined according to practical applications, so the disclosure is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figure. The cover 1290 is configured to cover the first driven gear rack 12800, the second driven gear rack 12802, the first gear 1282 and the second gear 1288. In this embodiment, the second transmission mechanism, 126 may comprise two elastic members 1292, wherein opposite ends of one elastic member 1292 are respectively connected to the first driven gear rack 12800 and the cover 1290, and opposite ends of the other elastic member 1292 are respectively connected to the second driven gear rack 12802 and the cover 1292. The elastic member 1292 may be, but is not limited to, a spring.
[0035] As shown in
[0036] As mentioned in the above, when the handle 122 rotates from the first position toward the second position, the pushing portion 12442 of the rotating member 1244 drives the stop member 104 to drive the tray body 120 to move toward the inside of the casing 10, such that the third electrical connector 130 of the tray 12 is connected to the first electrical connector 100 of the casing 10. Then, the user may continue to rotate the handle 122 from the second position (as shown in
[0037] As shown in
[0038] When the user wants to disassemble the tray 12 from the casing 10, the user may first rotate the handle 122 from the third position (as shown in
[0039] Then, the user may continue to rotate the handle 122 from the second position (as shown in
[0040] Referring to
[0041] As shown in
[0042] As shown in
[0043] On the contrary, when the handle 122 rotates from the third position toward the second position, the linking member 1250 of the first transmission mechanism 124 drives the second transmission mechanism 126 to move leftward along the first direction X, and the driving rod 1266 is separated from the retaining recess 12810 to push the inclined slot 12808 leftward, such that the moving member 1280 drives the carrier member 1286 to move downward along the second direction Y. When the handle 122 rotates from the second position toward the first position, the linking member 1250 of the first transmission mechanism 124 drives the second transmission mechanism 126 to move the predetermined distance D leftward along the first direction X, such that the driving rod 1266 moves to the position shown in
[0044] As mentioned in the above, the disclosure may dispose the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector on the casing, dispose the third electrical connector on the tray body of the tray, and dispose the fourth electrical connector on the third transmission mechanism of the tray, wherein the third electrical connector corresponds to the first electrical connector and the fourth electrical connector corresponds to the second electrical connector. When a user puts the tray into the casing, the user may rotate the handle from the first position toward the second position. At this time, the first transmission mechanism drives the second transmission mechanism to move along the first direction, such that the third electrical connector is connected to the first electrical connector. Then, the user may rotate the handle from the second position toward the third position. At this time, the first transmission mechanism drives the second transmission mechanism to move along the first direction and the second transmission mechanism drives the third transmission mechanism to move along the second direction, such that the fourth electrical connector is connected to the second electrical connector. On the other hand, when the user wants to disassemble the tray from the casing, the user may first rotate the handle from the third position toward the second position to separate the fourth electrical connector from the second electrical connector, and then rotate the handle from the second position toward the first position to separate the third electrical connector from the first electrical connector. Accordingly, the user can conveniently and rapidly assemble and disassemble the tray.
[0045] Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
