Abstract
A quick release housing system includes an electric module and a housing receiving the electric module in a latched state. The housing is capable of moving to an unlatched state to release the electric module for removal. The electric module includes catches and the housing includes latch arms that engage the catches in the latched state. The housing includes at least one actuator moveable to simultaneously disengage the latch arms from the catches in the unlatched state.
Claims20
A quick release housing system comprising:
- an electric module;
- and
- a housing receiving the electric module in a latched state and configured to move to an unlatched state to release the electric module for removal,
- wherein the electric module includes a plural number of catches,
- wherein the housing includes a number of latch arms that engage the plural number of catches in the latched state,
- wherein the housing includes at least one actuator moveable to simultaneously disengage the number of latch arms from the plural number of catches in the unlatched state.
A quick release housing system comprising:
- an electric module having a first end and a second end disposed opposite the first end;
- a housing receiving the electric module in a latched state and configured to move to an unlatched state to release the electric module for removal,
- wherein the electric module includes a plural number of catches,
- wherein the housing includes a number of latch arms that engage the plural number of catches in the latched state,
- wherein the housing includes a first actuator at the first end of the electric module and a second actuator at the second end of the electric module, wherein the first and the second actuators are moveable to simultaneously disengage the number of latch arms from the plural number of catches in the unlatched state.
A quick release housing system for an electrical system of a vehicle, the quick release housing system comprising:
- an electric module having a first end and a second end disposed opposite the first end, the electric module having a control panel and a bottom opposite the control panel;
- a housing receiving the electric module in a latched state and configured to move to an unlatched state to release the electric module for removal, wherein the housing is connected to the vehicle,
- wherein the electric module includes a plural number of catches, each catch having a surface disposed substantially parallel to the bottom and facing the bottom,
- wherein the housing includes a number of latch arms that engage the plural number of catches at the surfaces in the latched state,
- wherein the housing includes a first actuator at the first end of the electric module and a second actuator at the second end of the electric module, wherein the first and the second actuators are moveable to simultaneously disengage the number of latch arms from the surfaces of the plural number of catches in the unlatched state.
