Abstract

An electronic device includes a chassis, a detachable module received in the chassis, and a latching member. The detachable module includes an end plate defining an opening. One end of the latching member is fixed in the detachable module, and the other end of the latching member extends out of the detachable module through the opening. The detachable module defines a through hole. The chassis defines a latching hole corresponding to the through hole. A latching block protrudes out from one side of the latching member and extends through the through hole to engage in the latching hole. A shielding piece comes across to block and shield the opening.

Claims (12)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a chassis comprising a sidewall bounding a receiving space, the sidewall defining a latching hole communicating with the receiving space;

a detachable module detachably received in the receiving space, comprising an end plate defining an opening; and

a resilient latching member comprising a first end fixed to an inner surface of the detachable module, and a second end opposite to the first end and extending out of the detachable module through the opening, wherein the detachable module defines a through hole corresponding to the latching hole, a latching block protrudes from the latching member and extends through the through hole to engage in the latching hole, a shielding piece protrudes from the latching member and shields the opening;

wherein the detachable module comprises a bottom casing and a top casing installed on the bottom casing, the top casing comprises a top plate and a side plate extending down from a side of the top plate, the through hole is defined in a rear end of the side plate, the bottom casing includes a bottom plate, the end plate is extended up from a rear end of the bottom plate, the opening is defined in the end plate adjacent to the side plate; and

wherein the latching member comprises a resilient connecting plate and an operation plate extending from a rear end of the connecting plate, a front end of the connecting plate away from the operation plate is fixed to an inner surface of the side plate of the top casing, the operation plate extends out of the detachable module through the opening, the shielding piece extends in from the connecting plate, between the latching block and the operation plate, to engage with an inner surface of the end plate.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the latching block and the shielding piece respectively extend from two opposite side surfaces of the connecting plate.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein an engaging plate extends up from a side of the bottom plate adjacent to the opening, a flange extends down from a bottom side of the side plate of the top casing, to abut against an inner surface of the engaging plate.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a handle extends out from a middle of the end plate of the bottom casing.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the lathing member is made of resilient electromagnetic interference shielding material.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the latching member is made of resilient steel piece.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the detachable module is a power module.
