Abstract
A position-limit mechanism includes a clip retainer and a resilient assembly. The clip retainer includes a fix part, a limit part, a connect part, and a stop part connected in sequence, the fix connected to a frame, a receiving space is defined by the connect part, the stop part, and the limit part, the receiving space is configured for accommodating a mounting bracket, one end of the mounting bracket extends into the receiving space. The resilient assembly is arranged on the limit part and protrudes into the receiving space, the resilient assembly is configured to resiliently press the one end of the mounting bracket in the receiving space. A chassis including the clip retainer as described above is also disclosed.
Claims16
A position-limit mechanism for positioning a mounting bracket slidably arranged on a frame, comprising:
- a clip retainer comprising a fix part, a limit part, a connect part, and a stop part connected in sequence, the fix part is configured to connect to the frame, a receiving space is defined by the connect part, the stop part, and the limit part, the receiving space is configured for accommodating the mounting bracket, one end of the mounting bracket extends into the receiving space;
- and a resilient assembly, the resilient assembly is arranged on the limit part and protrudes into the receiving space, the resilient assembly is configured to resiliently press the one end of the mounting bracket in the receiving space to limit a movement of the mounting bracket movably disposed on the frame;
- and the resilient assembly comprises:
- a housing, the housing is arranged on the limit part, the housing is a hollow cylinder, one end of the housing is enclosed for defining a receiving groove, another end of the hollow cylinder defines an opening facing the receiving space;
- a resilient member, the resilient member is arranged in the receiving groove;
- and a limit ball, the limit ball is arranged in the receiving groove, one end of the resilient member is connected to a bottom of the receiving groove, another end of the resilient member is connected to the limit ball for pressing the limit ball to protrudes from the opening and resiliently presses the mounting bracket.
A chassis, comprising:
- a position-limit mechanism, comprising:
- a clip retainer comprising a fix part, a limit part, a connect part, and a stop part connected in sequence, the fix part connected to a frame, a receiving space is defined by the connect part, the stop part, and the limit part;
- and a resilient assembly, the resilient assembly is arranged on the limit part and protrudes into the receiving space;
- the position-limit mechanism is attached to the frame by the limit part of the clip retainer;
- and a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is received in the receiving space and slidably arranged on the frame, one end of the mounting bracket extends into the receiving space and is resiliently pressed by the resilient assembly, the mounting bracket is attached to a module card and drives the module card to be connected to the chassis, the mounting bracket is inserted into the receiving space and is contacted with the resilient assembly;
- and the clip retainer further comprising:
- a first guide part, the first guide part is connected to the connect part;
- and a second guide part, the second guide part is connected to the limit part, the first guide part is positioned opposite to the second guide part relative to the receiving space, the first guide part and the second guide part extend away from each other, the first guide part and the second guide part are configured to guide the mounting bracket inserting into the receiving space.
