Abstract
An ejection mechanism for modular electronic elements is used for ejecting a modular electronic element housed in a housing chamber of an electronic device. The ejection mechanism is located in the housing chamber. By moving only one driving member, the latching relationship of the modular electronic element may be released and the modular electronic element may be ejected out of the housing chamber to facilitate replacement of various types of modular electronic elements.
Claims27
An ejection mechanism for a modular electronic element located in a housing chamber, comprising:
- a latch member movably located on a lateral side of the housing chamber for engaging with the modular electronic element;
- a second rod member movably located in the housing chamber corresponding to the latch member;
- a first rod member movably located in the housing chamber corresponding to the modular electronic element and forming a linkage relationship with the second rod member;
- and
- an ejection member movably located in the housing chamber forming a linkage relationship with the first rod member and the second rod member for driving the second rod member to move the latch member to release the engaging of the latch member to the modular electronic element, and to enable the first rod member to eject the modular electronic element out of the housing chamber;
- the latch member having a first wedge surface which has a pointed edge adjacent to a lateral side of the housing chamber, the second rod member having a second wedge surface corresponding to the first wedge surface for the second rod member to drive the latch member.
An ejection mechanism for a modular electronic element located in a housing chamber, comprising:
- a latch member movably located on a lateral side of the housing chamber for engaging with the modular electronic element in a normal condition;
- a second rod member movably located in the housing chamber corresponding to the latch member;
- a first rod member movably located in the housing chamber corresponding to the modular electronic element and forming a linkage relationship with the second rod member;
- and
- an ejection member movably located in the housing chamber forming a linkage relationship with the first rod member and the second rod member for driving the second rod member to move the latch member to release the engaging of the latch member to the modular electronic element, and to enable the first rod member to eject the modular electronic element out of the housing chamber, the latch member including a driven element, and the second rod member having a first wedge surface corresponding to the driven element for moving the latch member.

- a latch member movably located on a lateral side of the housing chamber for engaging with the modular electronic element in a normal condition;
- a second rod member movably located in the housing chamber corresponding to the latch member;
- a first rod member movably located in the housing chamber corresponding to the modular electronic element and forming a linkage relationship with the second rod member;
- an ejection member movably located in the housing chamber forming a linkage relationship with the first rod member and the second rod member for driving the second rod member to move the latch member to release the engaging of the latch member to the modular electronic element, and to enable the first rod member to eject the modular electronic element out of the housing chamber;
- and
- a guiding strut, the second rod member having a slot for housing the guiding strut for channeling and restricting moving direction of the second rod member.
