Abstract

A reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism includes a base, a latching component and an actuating component. The base is disposed inside a first module, and has a first piercing hole and a first opening. The latching component is disposed on the base, and includes a constraining portion and a resilient portion. The constraining portion aligns with the first piercing hole and a second piercing hole on a second module. The resilient portion is connected to the constraining portion. The actuating component is slidably disposed on the base and includes a pushing portion and an actuating portion. The actuating portion is connected to the pushing portion and protrudes from the first opening and a second opening on the second module. The actuating portion moves relative to the second opening to flexibly deform the resilient portion via the pushing portion, so as to remove the constraining portion from the second piercing hole.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of conveniently assembling two modules, the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism comprising:

a base disposed, the base having a first piercing hole and a first opening;
a latching component disposed on the base, the latching component comprising:
a constraining portion inserting into the first piercing hole and a second piercing hole on an external unit;
and
a resilient portion connected to the constraining portion and disposed on the base in a resilient deformable manner;
and
an actuating component slidably disposed on the base, the actuating component comprising:
a pushing portion movably contacting against the resilient portion;
and
an actuating portion connected to the pushing portion and aligning with the first opening and a second opening on the external unit, the actuating portion moving relative to the second opening by an external force to flexibly deform the resilient portion via the pushing portion, so as to move the constraining portion into the base and let the constraining portion leave away the second piercing hole while the resilient portion is deformed;
wherein the base is disposed inside a first module, the external unit is a second module where on the second piercing hole and the second opening are formed, and the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism is used to assemble the first module and the second module.

8 more elements

A reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of conveniently assembling two modules respectively having an aperture and a buckling portion buckled with each other, the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism comprising:

a base, the base having a first piercing hole and a first opening, the first piercing hole facing the buckling portion;
a latching component disposed on the base, the latching component comprising:
a constraining portion aligning with the first piercing hole and the buckling portion;
and
a resilient portion connected to the constraining portion and disposed on the base in a resilient deformable manner;
and
an actuating component slidably disposed on the base, the actuating component comprising:
a pushing portion movably contacting against the resilient portion to guide a movement of the resilient portion;
and
an actuating portion connected to the pushing portion and aligning with the first opening and a second opening on an external unit, the actuating portion moving relative to the second opening by an external force to flexibly deform the resilient portion via the pushing portion, so as to drive the constraining portion out of the first piercing hole and let the buckling portion leave away the aperture while the resilient portion is deformed;
wherein the base is disposed inside a first module where on the aperture is formed, the external unit is a second module where on the buckling portion and the second opening are formed, and the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism is used to assemble the first module and the second module.
