Abstract
An automatic ejection mechanism of a connecting device includes an outer shell defining an accommodating space and including a rear cover covering a rear end of the accommodating space, a connector slidably received within the accommodating space, a fastening assembly located between the connector and the rear cover, and a resilient member located between the connector and the rear cover. The resilient member drives the connector to slide toward an opening of a front end of the accommodating space. The connector is received within the accommodating space by being fastened to the connector. The connector is ejected out of the opening of the front end by releasing the fastener from the connector.
