Abstract

A tray is detachably assembled to a chassis. The chassis includes a first chassis guide post. The tray includes a tray body, a handle and a first sliding piece. The tray body includes a side wall and a through slot disposed on the side wall. The handle is pivotally connected to the side wall and includes a handle guide post. The first sliding piece includes a first groove and a second groove. The handle guide post is disposed in the through slot and the first groove. The first chassis guide post is detachably disposed in the second groove.

Claims (34)

1. A tray, detachably assembled to a chassis, the chassis comprising a first chassis guide post, and the tray comprising:

a tray body, comprising a side wall and a through slot disposed on the side wall;

a handle, pivotally connected to the side wall and comprising a handle guide post;

a first sliding piece, movably disposed on the side wall and comprising a first groove and a second groove;

a connecting element, pivoted on the side wall; and

a second sliding piece, movably disposed on the side wall, and the connecting element disposed between the first sliding piece and the second sliding piece, such that the first sliding piece is connected with the second sliding piece;

wherein the handle guide post is disposed in the through slot and the first groove, and the first chassis guide post is detachably disposed in the second groove.

2. The tray as described in claim 1 , wherein the first groove of the first sliding piece extends along a first axis; the second groove comprises a horizontal section extending along a second axis, an inclined section extending from a lower edge of the first sliding piece, and an opening; and the opening is provided at a lower edge of the first sliding piece at the inclined section, wherein the inclined section has a distance difference in a first axis direction.

3. The tray as described in claim 2 , wherein the first sliding piece comprises a first abutting element, and the chassis comprises a first positioning member; the first abutting element is configured to abut against the first positioning member of the chassis.

4. The tray as described in claim 1 , wherein the tray body comprises a first tray body guide post protruding from the side wall, the first sliding piece comprises a third groove, and the first tray body guide post is sleeved in the third groove, such that the first sliding piece is movably disposed on the side wall.

5. The tray as described in claim 1 , wherein the connecting element comprises a gear, the first sliding piece comprises a first rack, the second sliding piece comprises a second rack, and the gear is engaged with the first rack and the second rack.

6. The tray as described in claim 1 , wherein the connecting element comprises a connecting rod, and the connecting rod comprises a connecting rod groove and a connecting rod guide post; the first sliding piece comprises a sliding piece guide post disposed in the connecting rod groove, the second sliding piece comprises a fifth groove, and the connecting rod guide post is disposed in the fifth groove.

7. The tray as described in claim 1 , wherein the tray body comprises a second tray body guide post protruding from the side wall, the second sliding piece comprises a fourth groove, and the second tray body guide post is sleeved in the fourth groove, such that the second sliding piece is movably disposed on the side wall.

8. The tray as described in claim 1 , wherein the first sliding piece comprises a first abutting element, the second sliding piece comprises a second abutting element, and the chassis comprises a first positioning member and a second positioning member; the first abutting element and the second abutting element are configured to abut against the first positioning member and the second positioning member of the chassis, respectively.

9. The electronic device as described in claim 1 , wherein one of the handle and the side wall comprises a bump, and the other of the handle and the side wall comprises a locking hole corresponding to the bump.

10. An electronic device, comprising:

a chassis, comprising a first chassis guide post; and

a tray, detachably disposed in the chassis, comprising:

a tray body, comprising a side wall and a through slot disposed on the side wall;
