Abstract

An electronic device includes a receiving bracket and two electronic modules. The receiving bracket includes a partition plate to divide the receiving bracket into a first receiving space and a second receiving space. Each of the first receiving space and second receiving space includes an outlet located at an end of the receiving bracket. The partition plate defines a through slot. A stop plate is pivotably connected to an end of the through slot near the outlets. Two resilient tabs are formed on opposite sides of the stop plate, and respectively face the first receiving space and second receiving space. The electronic modules are received in the first receiving space and second receiving space, and deform the resilient tabs.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a receiving bracket comprising a partition plate to divide the receiving bracket into a first receiving space, and a second receiving space at opposite sides of the partition plate together with the first receiving space, each of the first receiving space and the second receiving space defining an outlet located at an end of the receiving bracket, the partition plate defining a through slot, a stop plate pivotably connected to an end of the through slot near the outlets, two resilient tabs formed on opposite sides of the stop plate and respectively facing the first receiving space and second receiving space; and

two electronic modules received in the first receiving space and the second receiving space, and deforming the resilient tabs;

wherein when the electronic module received in the first receiving space is taken away, the resilient tabs are restored to make the stop plate rotate toward the first receiving space to cover the outlet of the first receiving space; and

wherein when the electronic module received in the second receiving space is taken away, the resilient tabs are restored to make the stop plate rotate toward the second receiving space to cover the outlet of the second receiving space.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a pivoting pole is mounted to the partition plate and located in the through slot near the outlets, the stop plate is pivotably connected to the pivoting pole.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the resilient tabs are near the pivoting poles.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein each resilient tab comprises a fastening portion fastened to the stop plate, and an extension portion extending from a side of the fastening portion near the pivoting pole.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the extension portion is substantially perpendicular to the fastening portion.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the receiving bracket comprises a bottom plate, two side plates extending up from opposite sides of the bottom plate, and a top cover connected to tops of the side plates, the partition plate is parallel to the side plates.

7. An electronic device, comprising:

a receiving bracket comprising a partition plate to divide the receiving bracket into a first receiving space, and a second receiving space juxtapositional with the first receiving space, each of the first receiving space and the second receiving space defining an outlet located at an end of the receiving bracket, upper and lower portions of the partition plate defining two through slots, a stop plate pivotably connected to an end of each through slot near the outlets, two resilient tabs formed on opposite sides of each stop plate; and

four electronic modules, two of the electronic modules received in upper and lower portions of the first receiving space, the other two electronic modules received in upper and lower portions of the second receiving space;

wherein each stop plate is received in the corresponding through slot and is sandwiched between the corresponding electronic modules, each resilient tab is resiliently sandwiched between the corresponding stop plate and the corresponding electronic module.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the receiving bracket comprises a bottom plate, two side plates extending up from opposite sides of the bottom plate, and a top cover connected to tops of the side plates, the partition plate is parallel to the side plates.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein a first supporting portion extends from a middle of an inner surface of each side plate, two second supporting portions extend from opposite sides of the partition plate and located between the through slots, the electronic modules received in the upper portions of the first receiving space and the second receiving space are supported on the corresponding first supporting portions and the corresponding second supporting portions.
