MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR POWER SUPPLY UNIT
A mounting apparatus configured to mount a power supply unit to an electronic device includes a case and a locking member. The case includes a side wall and a division plate. A receiving space is defined between the side wall and the division plate. The receiving space receives the power supply unit. The division plate defines a locking hole. The locking member is pivotally mounted on the side wall. The locking member includes a pressing pole and a locking tab. The locking member is rotated on the side wall to have the pressing pole press a power supply unit and the locking tab positioned in the locking hole.
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510793166.8 filed on Nov. 18, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
FIELDThe subject matter herein generally relates to an mounting apparatus for electronic device, and in particular to an mounting apparatus for mounting a power supply unit.
BACKGROUNDIn servers, power supply units are mounted in a case by a plurality of screws. However, it is time-consuming to mount the plurality of screws on the case or detach the plurality of screws from the case with a screwdriver.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
The case 10 includes a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12, a first side wall 13, and a second side wall 14. The top wall 11 is parallel to the bottom wall 12. The first side wall 13 is parallel to the second side wall 14. The first side wall 13 and the second side wall 14 are perpendicularly connected between the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. A division plate 15 is also connected between the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. The division plate 15 is located between the first side wall 13 and the second side wall 14. A receiving space 16 is defined among the division plate 15, the first side wall 13, the top wall 11, and the bottom wall 12.
When needing to detach the power supply unit 80 or to pull out the plug 91 from the port 81 of the power supply unit 80, the handle 36 is pulled to elastically deform the locking poles 33 to have the locking tabs 331 escape from the locking holes 153. The locking member 30 rotates backwards to release the power supply unit 80 and the power plug 90. Therefore, the power supply unit 80 can be detached from the case 10 and the plug 91 can be pulled out form the port 81 of the power supply unit 80.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
Claims
1-9. (canceled)
10. A mounting apparatus configured to mount a power supply unit to an electronic device, the mounting apparatus comprising:
