  • Publication number: 20250220842
    Abstract: A chassis includes a fixing base, an operating member, a tray and a cover. The operating member is pivotally connected to the fixing base. The operating member includes a first linkage portion. The tray is disposed on the fixing base. The tray includes a second linkage portion corresponding to the first linkage portion. The cover is disposed on the fixing base and covers the tray. When the operating member is located at a closed position, the operating member and the fixing base are locked, and the first linkage portion blocks the second linkage portion, so as to fix the tray on the fixing base. When the operating member rotates from the closed position to an opened position, the first linkage portion pushes the second linkage portion to drive the tray to move toward outside of the fixing base.
