Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a hard disk drive unit and an optical disk drive unit to an electronic device includes a supporting bracket defining an accommodating space for the hard disk drive unit and the optical disk drives unit and a clip. The supporting bracket includes a connecting plate and a resilient latching member attached to the connecting plate and located within the connecting plate. The clip corresponds to the resilient latching member and is configured to be attached to the optical disk drive unit. The resilient latching member is switchable between a clip-locking position and a clip-unlocking position.
Claims14
A mounting apparatus for mounting a hard disk drive unit and an optical disk drive unit within an electronic device, the mounting apparatus, comprising:
- a supporting bracket defining an accommodating space for the hard disk drive unit and the optical disk drives unit, comprising:
- a connecting plate;
- and
- a resilient latching member attached to the connecting plate and located within the connecting plate;
- and
- a clip corresponding to the resilient latching member, comprising:
- a mounting plate defining at least one mounting hole;
- and
- a clamping plate perpendicularly connected to the mounting plate, and the clamping plate comprising a hook corresponding to the resilient latching member;
- wherein the clip is configured to be attached to the optical disk drive unit through fixing members and the mounting hole;
- wherein the resilient latching member is switchable between a locking position, where the resilient latching member locks the clip, and an unlocking position, where the resilient latching member unlocks the clip.
An electronic device comprising:
- a hard disk drive unit;
- an optical disk drive unit;
- and
- a mounting apparatus for mounting the hard disk drive unit and the optical disk drive unit, comprising:
- a supporting bracket defining an accommodating space for the hard disk drive unit and the optical disk drives unit, comprising:
- a connecting plate;
- and
- a resilient latching member attached to the connecting plate and located within the connecting plate;
- and
- a clip corresponding to the resilient latching member, comprising:
- a mounting plate defining at least one mounting hole;
- and
- a clamping plate perpendicularly connected to the mounting plate, and the clamping plate comprising a hook corresponding to the resilient latching member;
- wherein the clip is configured to be attached to the optical disk drive unit through fixing members and the mounting hole;
- wherein the resilient latching member is switchable between a locking position, where the resilient latching member locks the clip, and an unlocking position, where the resilient latching member unlocks the clip.
