US 8,571,375 B1 · Release mechanism and transceiver module using the same

Abstract

A release mechanism for releasing a transceiver module from a cage includes a fixed component, a locking component, and a pull component, where the locking component is used for locking the transceiver module in the cage and pivotally connected to the transceiver module. The user pulls the pull component to make the locking component to rotate to unlock and then draw out the transceiver module. The locking component further includes a spring part against the fixed component to resist the rotation and assist the locking component back to the original position. According to the fewer components and the easy assembly of the release mechanism, the total assembly cost of the transceiver module can be reduced significantly.

Dependent claims

A release mechanism for releasing a transceiver module from a cage, the release mechanism comprising:

a fixed component, fixed on the transceiver module;
a locking component, having a connecting part, a hook opposite to the connecting part, and a spring part configured between the connecting part and the hook, the connecting part being pivotally connected to the transceiver module to enable the locking component to rotate relatively to the connecting part, the spring part being against the fixed component to resist the rotation of the locking component, the hook being for locking the transceiver module in the cage;
and
a pull component, connected to the locking component, for pulling the locking component to rotate to release the hook and the transceiver module from the cage.
