Abstract

A quick releasing mechanism includes an engagement component and a releasing component. The engagement component includes an arm structure. The arm structure has an engagement part. The releasing component is movably disposed on the engagement component. The releasing component includes a pressing protrusion for selectively pressing against the arm structure. When the releasing component is moved relative to the engagement component, the pressing protrusion of the releasing component presses against the arm structure to force the engagement part to rotate relative to the releasing component.

Claims (33)

1 . A releasing mechanism, comprising:

an engagement component, comprising an arm structure, wherein the arm structure has an engagement part; and

a releasing component, movably disposed on the engagement component, wherein the releasing component comprises a pressing protrusion for selectively pressing against the arm structure;

wherein when the releasing component is moved relative to the engagement component, the pressing protrusion of the releasing component presses against the arm structure to force the engagement part to rotate relative to the releasing component;

wherein the releasing component is directly slidably disposed on the engagement component.

2 . The releasing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the releasing component comprises an operation end located opposite to the pressing protrusion, and the releasing component is selectively switchable between an unactuated state and an actuated state.

3 . The releasing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the releasing component has a slide channel, the engagement component is disposed through the slide channel to be selectively switchable between a released position and an engagement position.

4 . The releasing mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein the releasing component has a support surface for supporting the engagement component, a positioning protrusion protrudes from the support surface, and the positioning protrusion is engaged with the engagement component when the releasing component is switched to the actuated state.

5 . A releasing mechanism, comprising:

an engagement component, comprising an arm structure, wherein the arm structure has an engagement part; and

a releasing component, movably disposed on the engagement component, wherein the releasing component comprises a pressing protrusion for selectively pressing against the arm structure;

wherein when the releasing component is moved relative to the engagement component, the pressing protrusion of the releasing component presses against the arm structure to force the engagement part to rotate relative to the releasing component;

wherein the releasing component comprises an operation end located opposite to the pressing protrusion, and the releasing component is selectively switchable between an unactuated state and an actuated state;

wherein the releasing component comprises a first element, a second element and a third element, the second element is slidably disposed on the first element, the third element is pivotably disposed on the first element to be selectively pressed by the second element, and the pressing protrusion and the operation end are respectively located at the third element and the second element.

6 . The releasing mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the second element has a pressing block, and the third element has a pressed structure located opposite to the pressing protrusion; when the releasing component is switched from the unactuated state to the actuated state, the pressing block presses against the pressed structure to force the pressing protrusion to press against the arm structure.

7 . The releasing mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the first element has a first mount structure, the second element has a second mount structure, one of the first mount structure and the second mount structure is a straight recess, the other one of the first mount structure and the second mount structure is a protrusion, and the first mount structure is slidably disposed on the second mount structure.

8 . The releasing mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the first element has a positioning block, the second element has a positioning hole, and the positioning block is slidably disposed in the positioning hole to define a slidable distance of the second element relative to the first element.

9 . An electronic device, comprising:

an electronic assembly, having a socket; and

a releasing mechanism, comprising:

an engagement component, comprising an arm structure, wherein the arm structure has an engagement part; and

a releasing component, movably disposed on the engagement component, wherein the releasing component comprises a pressing protrusion for selectively pressing against the arm structure;

wherein when the releasing component is in an unactuated state, the pressing protrusion is spaced apart from the arm structure;

wherein when the releasing component is switched from the unactuated state to an actuated state, the pressing protrusion of the releasing component presses against the arm structure to force the engagement part to move from an engagement position to a released position for being disengaged from the socket.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the releasing component comprises an operation end located opposite to the pressing protrusion.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the releasing component has a slide channel, and the engagement component is disposed through the slide channel.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the releasing component has a support surface for supporting the engagement component, and a positioning protrusion protrudes from the support surface to be engaged with the engagement component when the releasing component is switched to the actuated state.

13 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the releasing component comprises a first element and a second element, the second element is pivotably disposed on the first element, and the pressing protrusion and the operation end are located at the second element.

14 . The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein the second element comprises an elastic sheet structure located between the pressing protrusion and the operation end, and the elastic sheet structure has a contact protrusion; when the releasing component is in the unactuated state, the contact protrusion forces the pressing protrusion to be spaced apart from the arm structure.

15 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the releasing component comprises a first element, a second element and a third element, the second element is slidably disposed on the first element, the third element is pivotably disposed on the first element to be selectively pressed by the second element, and the pressing protrusion and the operation end are respectively located at the third element and the second element.

16 . The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the second element has a pressing block, and the third element has a pressed structure located opposite to the pressing protrusion; when the releasing component is switched from the unactuated state to the actuated state, the pressing block presses against the pressed structure to force the pressing protrusion to press against the arm structure.

17 . The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the first element has a first mount structure, the second element has a second mount structure, one of the first mount structure and the second mount structure is a straight recess, the other one of the first mount structure and the second mount structure is a protrusion, and the first mount structure is slidably disposed on the second mount structure.

18 . The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the first element has a positioning block, the second element has a positioning hole, and the positioning block is slidably disposed in the positioning hole to define a slidable distance of the second element relative to the first element.
