Abstract

A display device includes a monitor, a fixing bracket, and a quick release structure. The quick release structure includes a housing, a first connector assembly and a second connector assembly. The first connector assembly includes two pressing members and a linkage mechanism. One of the two pressing members is pressed and pushed by an external force to drive the other of the two pressing members to move synchronously, such that the two pressing members move to respective sides of the housing or both move to a center of the housing to be engaged in or detached from a monitor. The second connector assembly includes a plurality of magnets and a moving member. The moving member is configured to drive the plurality of magnets to reciprocate, such that the plurality of magnets are magnetically attached or released from the fixing bracket.

Claims (16)

1 . A quick release structure, comprising:

a housing;

a first connector assembly disposed in the housing, wherein the first connector assembly comprises two pressing members and a linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism is connected between the two pressing members; wherein one of the two pressing members is pressed by an external force to drive the other of the two pressing members to move synchronously, such that the two pressing members move to respective sides of the housing or both move to a center of the housing to be engaged in or detached from a monitor; and

a second connector assembly disposed in the housing, wherein the second connector assembly comprises a plurality of magnets and a moving member; wherein the moving member is configured to drive the plurality of magnets to move, such that the plurality of magnets are magnetically attached to or released from a fixing bracket.

2 . The quick release structure according to claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a cover plate, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are opposite to each other, the third sidewall is connected between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the first sidewall and the second sidewall have two respective openings, the third sidewall has an inner surface, an outer surface, and two limiting portions, the two limiting portions are disposed on the outer surface, and the cover plate has two first slots and a second slot.

3 . The quick release structure according to claim 2 , wherein each of the two pressing members comprises a pressing plate, an abutting plate, a first elastic element, a second elastic element, and a third elastic element, the pressing plate comprises a pressing portion and an engaging protrusion, the linkage mechanism is connected between the two pressing plates of the two pressing members, the two pressing plates of the two pressing members correspond to the two openings, the two pressing portions of the two pressing plates are exposed out of the two first slots, the first elastic element and the second elastic element are disposed between the pressing plate and a bottom of the housing, and the third elastic element is disposed between the engaging protrusion and the abutting plate.

4 . The quick release structure according to claim 3 , wherein the moving member comprises an actuator, a threaded rod, and a supporting element, the actuator is fixed to one end of the threaded rod, the supporting element is movably disposed on the threaded rod, the plurality of magnets are fixed to the supporting element and face the inner surface of the third sidewall, and the actuator is exposed out of the second slot.

5 . A display device, comprising:

a monitor including a positioning groove and two fastening portions, wherein the positioning groove is located between the two fastening portions;

a fixing bracket including a metal docking portion; and

a quick release structure according to claim 4 .

6 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the two fastening portions have two fastening grooves, each of the two fastening grooves has an engaging recess and a platform portion that are opposite to each other, and the two pressing plates correspond to the two fastening grooves.

7 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein, when the quick release structure and the monitor are to be assembled with each other, the quick release structure is located in the positioning groove, and one of the two pressing portions is pressed and pushed, such that the two pressing plates are simultaneously pushed down to abut against the two first elastic elements and the two second elastic elements, and the two pressing plates pass through the two openings and insert into the two fastening grooves; wherein the two abutting plates abut against the two platform portions and are guided upward by the two platform portions to push the two third elastic elements, such that the two engaging protrusions are displaced and engaged in the two engaging recesses of the two fastening grooves.

8 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein, when the quick release structure and the monitor are to be disassembled, one of the two pressing portions is pressed and pushed, such that the two pressing plates are simultaneously pushed down to abut against the two first elastic elements and the two second elastic elements, and the two engaging protrusions are pushed down to abut against the two third elastic elements, the two engaging protrusions are detached from the two engaging recesses and withdraw from the two fastening grooves, and the two pressing plates pass through the two openings and retract into the housing.

9 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein, when the quick release structure and the monitor are to be assembled with each other, the metal docking portion of the fixing bracket is disposed between the two limiting portions, the metal docking portion abuts against an outer surface of the third sidewall of the housing, and the actuator is rotated to drive the threaded rod to move the plurality of magnets, such that the plurality of magnets abut against the inner surface of the third sidewall and magnetically attract the metal docking portion.

10 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein, when the quick release structure and the monitor are to be disassembled, the actuator is rotated to drive the threaded rod to move the plurality of magnets, such that the plurality of magnets are away from the inner surface of the third sidewall and do not magnetically attract the metal docking portion.
