Abstract

An electronic device includes a chassis having a sidewall, a power supply detachably received in the chassis, a latching member, and a handle pivotably connected to the power supply. A first end of the latching member is fixed to the power supply, and a second end of the latching member detachably latches the handle. Two latching holes are defined in the sidewall of the chassis. The latching member includes two latching tabs engaging in the latching holes in response to the second end of the latching member latching the handle.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a chassis comprising a sidewall defining a latching hole;

a power supply detachably received in the chassis;

a latching member comprising a latching tab aligning with the latching hole; and

a handle pivotably connected to the power supply, wherein a first end of the latching member is fixed to the power supply, a second end of the latching member detachably latches the handle, and wherein in response to the second end of the latching member latching the handle, the latching tab engages in the latching hole;

wherein the power supply comprises a frame and a cover, the cover defines a first through hole, the latching member comprises a resilient connecting plate, a locating plate extending forward from a front end of the connecting plate, and a guiding plate extending rearward from a rear end of the connecting plate, the latching tab extends out from the connecting plate adjacent to the locating plate, the locating plate is fixed on an inner surface of the frame, a protrusion protrudes from a junction of the connecting plate and the guiding plate, the handle defines a guiding slot, and the guiding plate extends through the first through hole, to allow the protrusion detachably latch the handle along the guiding slot.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein two resilient pieces extend rearward from the cover, respectively above and below the first through hole for resisting against the handle.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the frame is substantially rectangular, and comprises a top plate, a bottom plate, and two side plates connected between corresponding sides of the top plate and bottom plate, the locating plate is fixed on one of the side plates, a second through hole is defined in the side plate, and the latching tab extends through the second through hole to engage in the latching hole of the chassis.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the handle comprises two parallel pivoting arms, and a latching portion connected between first ends of the pivoting arms, two opposite tabs respectively extend rearward from rear sides of the top plate and the bottom plate, second ends of the pivoting arms are pivotably connected to the corresponding tabs, and the protrusion detachably latches onto the latching portion of the handle.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein a shaft hole is defined in each tab, a pin extends out from the second end of each pivoting arm and pivotably engages in the corresponding shaft hole.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the guiding slot is defined in an outer surface of the latching portion opposite to the pivoting arms.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein an operation portion extends in from the latching portion opposite to the guiding slot to engage with the latching member.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a resilient member, wherein a first end of the resilient member is attached to the inner surface of the frame, a second end of the resilient member resiliently abuts against the connecting plate, to bias the second end of the connecting plate away from the frame, and bias the latching tab to disengage from the latching hole of the chassis.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the latching member is made of resilient material, and is integrally formed.

10. An electronic device comprising:

a chassis comprising a sidewall defining two latching holes;

a power supply detachably received in the chassis;

a latching member comprising two latching tabs aligning with the latching holes; and

a handle pivotably connected to the power supply, wherein a first end of the latching member is fixed to the power supply, a second end of the latching member detachably latches the handle, and wherein in response to the second end of the latching member latching the handle, the latching tabs engages in the corresponding latching holes;

wherein the power supply comprises a frame and a cover, the cover defines a first through hole, the latching member comprises a resilient connecting plate, a locating plate extending forward from a front end of the connecting plate, and a guiding plate extending rearward from a rear end of the connecting plate, the latching tabs extends out from two opposite sides of the connecting plate adjacent to the locating plate, the locating plate is fixed on an inner surface of the frame, a protrusion protrudes from a junction of the connecting plate and the guiding plate, the handle defines a guiding slot, and the guiding plate extends through the first through hole detachably latching the handle along the guiding slot.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the frame is substantially rectangular, and comprises a top plate, a bottom plate, and two side plates connected between corresponding sides of the top plate and bottom plate, the locating plate is fixed on one of the side plates, two second through holes are defined in the side plate, and the latching tabs extend through the second through holes to engage in the corresponding latching holes of the chassis.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the handle comprises two parallel pivoting arms, and a latching portion connected between first ends of the pivoting arms, two opposite tabs respectively extend rearward from rear sides of the top plate and the bottom plate, second ends of the pivoting arms are pivotably connected to the corresponding tabs.
