Abstract

A device having fool-proofing structure is configured to be inserted into a cabinet along a first direction and includes a case and an elastic sheet module. The elastic sheet module is disposed on a side of the case and includes a first end disposed on the case, a second end opposite to the first end, a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion. The first protrusion portion is adjacent to the second end, protrudes from the case and is configured to abut against the cabinet. The second protrusion portion is farther from the second end than the first protrusion portion, protrudes from the case, and is configured to make the second end and the first protrusion portion move toward the interior of the case as being pressed by a force.

Claims (10)

1. A device having fool-proofing structure arranged to be inserted into a cabinet along a first direction and comprising a case and an elastic sheet module, wherein the elastic sheet module is disposed on a side of the case and comprises:

a first end disposed on the case;

a second end opposite to the first end;

a first protrusion portion comprising a stopping portion, wherein the first protrusion portion is adjacent to the second end, and protrudes from the case and abuts against the cabinet on the first direction; and

a second protrusion portion comprising a top portion, a first extension portion and a second extension portion, wherein the first extension portion and the second extension portion are disposed on two opposite sides of the top portion and respectively includes a slope connecting to the top portion, and the top portion of the second protrusion portion and the stopping portion of the first protrusion portion have a distance therebetween in the first direction, and the second protrusion portion is disposed between the first end and the second end and farther from the second end than the first protrusion portion, and protrudes from the case, when the second protrusion portion is pressed by a force, the second end and the first protrusion portion move toward the interior of the case.

2. The device having fool-proofing structure according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the stopping portion is perpendicular to the first direction.

3. The device having fool-proofing structure according to claim 2 , wherein the surface of the stopping portion of the first protrusion portion is flush with the second end.

4. The device having fool-proofing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic sheet module is integrally formed of a metal sheet.

5. The device having fool-proofing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the case comprises an inner wall, a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first end of the elastic sheet module is fixed on the inner wall of the case, the first protrusion portion passes through and protrudes from the first opening of the case, and the second protrusion portion passes through and protrudes from the second opening of the case.

6. The device having fool-proofing structure according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the first protrusion portion protruding from the case is in a range between 1.2 mm and 3.2 mm, and a height of the second protrusion portion protruding from the case is in a range between 1.2 mm and 3.2 mm.
