Locking device and chassis using locking device
A locking device includes a housing, a first linking member, a second linking member, a push-pull member, and a stopper. The push-pull member defines a first sliding groove. A first end portion of the first linking member is slidably received in the first sliding groove, and a second end portion of the first linking member is rotationally fixed on the housing. The housing defines a second sliding groove. The stopper is slidably received in the second sliding groove. A second end portion of the second linking member is rotationally mounted on the first linking member. The first end portion of the first linking member is driven by the push-pull member to move along the first sliding groove, which drives the second linking member to rotate, which drives the stopper to move along the second sliding groove.

6. The locking device of claim 1 , wherein:
an end of the push-pull member comprises a handle.
7. The locking device of claim 1 , wherein:
an incline direction of the first sliding groove is opposite to an incline direction of the second sliding groove;
a length of the first linking member is longer than a length of the second linking member; and
a length of the first sliding groove is longer than a length of the second sliding groove.
8. A chassis comprising: a case; a storage device; a hard disk; and a locking device fixedly coupled to the storage device, the locking device comprising: a housing; a first linking member; a second linking member; a push-pull member slidably mounted in the housing; and a stopper fixed on a first end portion of the second linking member; wherein: the push-pull member defines a first sliding groove; a first end portion of the first linking member is slidably received in the first sliding groove, and a second end portion of the first linking member is rotationally fixed on the housing; the housing defines a second sliding groove; the stopper is slidably received in and protrudes through the second sliding groove; a second end portion of the second linking member is rotationally mounted on the first linking member; the first end portion of the first linking member is configured to be driven by the push-pull member to move along the first sliding groove; the first end portion of the first linking member moving along the first sliding groove drives the second linking member to rotate; when the push-pull member is pulled out of the housing, the second linking member rotating drives the stopper to move along the second sliding groove toward a direction away from the first linking member.
9. The chassis of claim 8 , wherein:
the push-pull member defines a first locking groove communicating with the first sliding groove;
the first locking groove extends in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the push-pull member; and
when the push-pull member is pushed into the housing, the first locking groove locks a position of the first linking member.
10. The chassis of claim 9 , wherein:
the push-pull member defines a second locking groove communicating with the first sliding groove;
the second locking groove extends in a direction perpendicular to a moving direction of the push-pull member; and
when the push-pull member is pulled out of the housing, the second locking groove locks a position of the first linking member.
11. The chassis of claim 10 , further comprising a resilient member, wherein:
a first end of the resilient member is fixed on the housing, and a second end of the resilient member is fixed on the first linking member; and
the resilient member is configured to apply a pulling force on the first linking member in a direction away from the second linking member when the first linking member is locked in the first locking groove and the second locking groove.
12. The chassis of claim 11 , wherein:
the push-pull member defines a third sliding groove and a fourth sliding groove;
the third sliding groove and the fourth sliding groove extend in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the push-pull member; and
