Abstract

A locking structure for a draw-type electronic device includes a handle member, two connecting rod members, and two linked members. The handle member and the linked members are pivotally connected on a case of the electronic device respectively in a rotatable relation. The connecting rod members are connected to the handle member and the linked members. A first fastening groove and a second fastening groove are disposed on each of the linked members and the handle member respectively. The handle member is rotated to enable the connecting rod members to actuate the linked members to rotate together, so as to enable the first fastening groove and the second fastening grooves to apply forces on two corresponding positioning pins together, so that an action of electrical connection is accomplished.

Claims (10)

1. A locking structure for a draw-type electronic device, disposed on a case of the draw-type electronic device, comprising:

two linked members, pivotally connected to the case in a rotatable relation, wherein each linked members comprises a first fastening groove adjacent to a position of pivotal connection;

a handle member, pivotally connected to the case in a rotatable relation, wherein two second fastening grooves are respectively disposed adjacent to a position of pivotal connection of bottom sides of the handle member; and

two connecting rod members, connected to the handle member and the linked member, wherein the handle member is rotated to actuate the linked members respectively to rotate together, so as to enable the electronic device to shift for a distance.

2. The locking structure for the draw-type electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is installed in a main unit, four positioning pins are disposed in the main unit, the first fastening grooves of the linked members and the second fastening grooves of the handle member match the four positioning pins, the linked member and the handle member are rotated, the first fastening groove and the second fastening groove urge the two positioning pins, and the positioning pins becomes points of application to the first fastening grooves and the second fastening grooves, so that the draw-type electronic device shifts for the distance.

3. The locking structure for the draw-type electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein an edge connector is disposed on the electronic device, a connector unit is disposed on the main unit, and the electronic device shifts for the distance to enable the edge connector to be inserted in the connector unit, so that an electrical connection between the electronic device and the main unit is accomplished.

4. The locking structure for the draw-type electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein an joint unit is disposed on the edge connector, and the electronic device shifts for the distance to enable the joint unit of the edge connector to be inserted in the connector unit, so that the electrical connection between the electronic device and the main unit is accomplished.

5. The locking structure for the draw-type electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the two positioning pins are pressed at the same time, so that the electronic device whole shift for a distance at the same time.

6. The locking structure for the draw-type electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a fastener is disposed on the electronic device, a joint member is disposed on the handle member, the handle member is rotated and held against the electronic device, and the fastener fastens the joint member of the handle member.

7. The locking structure for the draw-type electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the handle member comprises a pivot connection piece, and circle centers of two connection holes and circle centers of two pivot connection holes on the pivot connection piece are not overlapped in each other.
