Abstract
This disclosure relates to a fixing frame including a guiding element, a movable element, and a handle. The guiding element is configured for an interface card to be placed into the guiding element along a first direction. The movable element is movably disposed in the guiding element. The movable element includes a pushing portion and an abutted portion. The handle is pivotably disposed on the guiding element. The handle includes an abutting portion. The abutting portion selectively abuts the abutted portion of the movable element, so that the pushing portion of the movable element pushes the interface card along a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Claims20
A fixing frame, comprising:
- a guiding element, configured for placing an interface card therein along a first direction;
- a movable element, movably disposed in the guiding element, wherein the movable element comprises a pushing portion and an abutted portion;
- and
- a handle, pivotably disposed on the guiding element, wherein the handle comprises an abutting portion, the abutting portion selectively abuts the abutted portion of the movable element, so that a pivoting movement of the handle forces the pushing portion of the movable element to push the interface card along a second direction opposite to the first direction,
- wherein during the pivoting movement of the handle, the abutting portion directly abuts the abutted portion to mechanically drive the movable element along the second direction.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a motherboard;
- a connector, disposed on the motherboard;
- a fixing frame, located at a side of the connector, the fixing frame comprising:
- a guiding element;
- a movable element, movably disposed in the guiding element, wherein the movable element comprises a pushing portion and an abutted portion;
- and
- a handle, pivotably disposed on the guiding element, wherein the handle comprises an abutting portion;
- and
- an interface card, placed into the guiding element along a first direction and connected to the connector;
- wherein the abutting portion selectively abuts the abutted portion of the movable element, so that a pivoting movement of the handle forces the pushing portion of the movable element to push the interface card along a second direction opposite to the first direction,
- wherein during the pivoting movement of the handle, the abutting portion directly abuts the abutted portion to mechanically drive the movable element along the second direction.
