Abstract
A mainboard mounting mechanism is provided for use with a chassis box, the chassis box defining an accommodating space, the mainboard mounting mechanism including: a tray; a positioning post, positioned in the mounting area; and a rod assembly, rotatably connected to the tray, wherein the rod assembly drives the tray to slide toward the positioning post so as for the mainboard to be at a disengagement position, and the rod assembly drives the tray to slide away from the positioning post for the mainboard to be at an engagement position.
Claims18
A mainboard mounting mechanism for use with a chassis box, the chassis box defining an accommodating space, the mainboard mounting mechanism comprising:
- a tray, slidably arranged in the accommodating space and divides the accommodating space into a mounting area and a sliding area along a sliding direction, the tray defines a holding space for holding a mainboard;
- a positioning post, positioned in the mounting area;
- a guide member, with a positioning hole accommodating the positioning post, the guide member including a guide base with the position hole and a guide rail extending from the guide base, and the tray is slidably connected with the guide rail;
- and
- a connecting rod assembly, rotatably connected to the tray, wherein the connecting rod assembly drives the tray to slide toward the positioning post so as for the mainboard to be at a disengagement position, and the connecting rod assembly drives the tray to slide away from the positioning post for the mainboard to be at an engagement position.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a chassis box and a mainboard mounting mechanism, the chassis box defining an accommodating space, and the mainboard mounting mechanism comprising:
- a tray, slidably arranged in the accommodating space and divides the accommodating space into a mounting area and a sliding area along a sliding direction, the tray defines a holding space for holding a mainboard;
- a positioning post, positioned in the mounting area;
- a guide member, with a positioning hole accommodating the positioning post, the guide member including a guide base with the position hole and a guide rail extending from the guide base, and the tray is slidably connected with the guide rail;
- and
- a connecting rod assembly, rotatably connected to the tray, wherein the connecting rod assembly drives the tray to slide toward the positioning post so as for the mainboard to be at a disengagement position, and the connecting rod assembly drives the tray to slide away from the positioning post for the mainboard to be at an engagement position.
A method of holding a mainboard to a chassis box through a mainboard mounting mechanism, the chassis box defining an accommodating space, the method comprising:
- providing the mainboard mounting mechanism, wherein the mainboard mounting mechanism comprises:
- a tray, slidably arranged in the accommodating space and divides the accommodating space into a mounting area and a sliding area along a sliding direction, the tray defines a holding space for holding a mainboard;
- a positioning post, positioned in the mounting area;
- a guide member, with a positioning hole accommodating the positioning post, the guide member including a guide base with the position hole and a guide rail extending from the guide base, and the tray is slidably connected with the guide rail;
- and
- a connecting rod assembly, rotatably connected to the tray, wherein the connecting rod assembly drives the tray to slide toward the positioning post so as for the mainboard to be at a disengagement position, and the connecting rod assembly drives the tray to slide away from the positioning post for the mainboard to be at an engagement position.
