The base 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 is disposed inside the first piercing hole and connected to the resilient portion. The actuating is component disposed on the base and includes a pushing portion and an actuating portion. The pushing portion contacts the resilient portion to guide the resilient portion and connected to the actuating portion for aligning the first opening and a second opening on an external unit. The actuating portion is moved to slide the resilient portion, so as to move the constraining portion through the first piercing hole for letting the constraining portion leave a second piercing hole or pushing a buckling portion on the external unit. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of conveniently assembling two modules, the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism comprising: a base having a first piercing hole and a first opening; a latching component disposed on the base, the latching component comprising: a constraining portion disposed inside the first piercing hole; and a resilient portion connected to the constraining portion in a relative slidable manner; and an actuating component slidably disposed on the base, the actuating component comprising: a pushing portion contacting 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 slide the resilient portion relative to the constraining portion via the pushing portion, so as to move the constraining portion through the first piercing hole for letting the constraining portion leave away a second piercing hole on the external unit or pushing a buckling portion of the external unit; wherein the base is disposed inside a first module, the external unit is a second module where on the second opening and the second piercing hole and the buckling portion are formed, and the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism is used to assemble the first module and the second module. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 1, wherein a first inclined guiding structure is disposed on an edge of the constraining portion, a second inclined guiding structure is disposed on a lateral surface of the resilient portion, and the second inclined guiding structure slidably contacts against the first inclined guiding structure. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a guiding portion whereon the resilient portion is movably disposed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 3, wherein the reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism further comprises a resilient component disposed on the guiding portion, two opposite ends of the resilient component respectively contact against the latching component and the actuating component, or respectively contact against the latching component and the base. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 1, wherein the latching component further comprises a recovering component disposed on the constraining portion, two opposite ends of the recovering component respectively contact against the base and a block of the constraining portion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 1, wherein the actuating component is disposed on the base, the actuating component is assembled with the latching component in an inseparable manner. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 6, wherein the constraining portion simultaneously passes through the first piercing hole and the second piercing hole to constrain a relative movement between the first module and the second module. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 1, wherein the actuating component is disposed on the second module, the latching component is actuated by the actuating component in a separable manner. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The reciprocator-type quick-releasing mechanism of claim 8, wherein the buckling portion of the second module is buckled with the first piercing hole on the base.
