Abstract

A carrying device and a self-lock structure thereof are provided, which are adapted for a server to bear a human-computer interface device. The carrying device includes a carrying-component and a receiving cage. The self-lock structure consists of a cantilever fixed on the carrying component and an interference portion formed on the receiving cage. A structural interference is generated between a protruding portion formed on the cantilever and a lock slot formed in the interference portion while the carrying-component being inserted to the receiving cage. The cantilever may generate a corresponding elastic force to serve as power resource for self-locking, thereby the functions of self-locking and overload protection are achieved.

Dependent claims

A carrying device adapted to a server for carrying an electronic device, comprising:

a carrying unit for carrying the electronic device, wherein one end of the carrying unit has a cantilever, one side of the cantilever has a protruding portion, and the front end of the cantilever has a release portion;
and
a receiving cage mounted in the server, wherein the receiving cage has an insertion slot for inserting the carrying unit from the front of the insertion slot, a side wall of the receiving cage has an interference portion receding inward behind the insertion slot and having a locking slot positioned behind the insertion slot;
wherein the interference portion and the cantilever form a self-locking structure, the protruding portion extends into the locking slot for structurally interference with the locking slot, an edge of the locking slot has a guiding portion, a neck portion and a locking portion, the guiding portion guides the movement of the protruding portion, the protruding portion moves along the guiding portion into a retaining slot defined by the neck portion and the locking portion.
