Claims27
An optical disk drive (ODD), comprising:
- a shell, comprising a main body portion and a side portion, the side portion being connected to the main body portion, wherein a concave space is formed between a side surface of the main body portion and a top surface of the side portion;
- and
- a locking module, disposed inside the concave space, wherein the ODD is detachably held in a support frame of an electronic device through the locking module.
A locking module, adapted to detachably hold a replaceable module in a support frame of an electronic device or remove the replaceable module out of the support frame along a removing direction and comprising:
- a body, disposed on the replaceable module;
- a buckling member, pivoted on the body and generating a structural interference with the support frame movable;
- and
- a handle part, coupled onto the buckling member movably, the handle part being adapted to move back and forth in the removing direction and drive the buckling member to pivot relative to the body to release the structural interference between the buckling member and the support frame.
