Abstract

An ejector lever includes a lever body and an unlocking mechanism, where the unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking hook and a safety latch, the unlocking hook is rotatably connected to the lever body using a first rotating shaft, and the safety latch is rotatably connected to the lever body using a second rotating shaft. The unlocking hook is provided with a first end and a second end, the first end is opposite to the second end across the first rotating shaft, the first end is provided with a hook, the second end is provided with a first abutting part, the safety latch is provided with a second abutting part, and the first abutting part is in contact with the second abutting part; and the second abutting part is configured to apply first force on the first abutting part when the safety latch rotates around the second rotating shaft.

Claims (19)

1. An ejector lever, comprising:

a lever body; and

an unlocking mechanism comprising an unlocking hook and a safety latch, the unlocking hook being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a first rotating shaft, the safety latch being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a second rotating shaft, the unlocking hook being provided with a first end and a second end, the first end being opposite to the second end across the first rotating shaft, the first end being provided with a hook, the second end being provided with a first abutting part, the safety latch being provided with a second abutting part, the first abutting part being in contact with the second abutting part, the second abutting part being configured to apply a first force on the first abutting part when the safety latch rotates around the second rotating shaft to enable the unlocking hook to rotate around the first rotating shaft, the first abutting part being provided with multiple first teeth, the second abutting part being provided with multiple second teeth, and the multiple first teeth meshing with the multiple second teeth when the first abutting part is in contact with the second abutting part.

2. The ejector lever of claim 1 , wherein the unlocking mechanism further comprises a spring, one end of the spring being coupled to the lever body, the other end thereof being coupled to the second end of the unlocking hook, and the spring being configured to apply, on the second end of the unlocking hook, a second force of which a direction is opposite to that of the first force.

3. The ejector lever of claim 1 , the first rotating shaft is parallel to the second rotating shaft.

4. The ejector lever of claim 1 , wherein the lever body is provided with a head and an arm, a cavity having openings at two ends is disposed on the arm, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft being fixedly disposed inside the cavity, the first end and the hook of the unlocking hook extending out of an opening at one end of the cavity, the safety latch being provided with a trigger, and the trigger extending out of an opening at the other end of the cavity.

5. A board assembly, comprising:

a board; and

a panel fixedly coupled to the board, a hole being disposed on the panel, the board assembly further comprising an ejector lever comprising a lever body and an unlocking mechanism, the unlocking mechanism comprising an unlocking hook and a safety latch, the unlocking hook being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a first rotating shaft, the safety latch being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a second rotating shaft, the unlocking hook being provided with a first end and a second end, the first end being opposite to the second end across the first rotating shaft, the first end being provided with a hook, the second end being provided with a first abutting part, the safety latch being provided with a second abutting part, the first abutting part being in contact with the second abutting part, the second abutting part being configured to apply a first force on the first abutting part when the safety latch rotates around the second rotating shaft to enable the unlocking hook to rotate around the first rotating shaft, the lever body being provided with a head and an arm, the head being rotatably coupled to the board or the panel using a third rotating shaft, when the ejector lever is locked on the panel, the first end, provided with the hook, of the unlocking hook passes through the hole on the panel, and the hook hooks the panel at an edge of the hole, the first abutting part being provided with multiple first teeth, the second abutting part being provided with multiple second teeth, and the multiple first teeth meshing with the multiple second teeth when the first abutting part is in contact with the second abutting part.

6. The board assembly of claim 5 , wherein there are two ejector levers, which are respectively disposed at two side edges, opposite to each other, of the panel.

7. The board assembly of claim 5 , wherein the unlocking mechanism further comprises a spring, one end of the spring being coupled to the lever body, the other end thereof being coupled to the second end of the unlocking hook, and the spring being configured to apply, on the second end of the unlocking hook, a second force of which a direction is opposite to that of the first force.

8. The board assembly of claim 5 , wherein the first rotating shaft is parallel to the second rotating shaft.

9. The board assembly of claim 5 , wherein a cavity having openings at two ends is disposed on the arm, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft being fixedly disposed inside the cavity, the first end and the hook of the unlocking hook extending out of an opening at one end of the cavity, the safety latch being provided with a trigger, and the trigger extending out of an opening at the other end of the cavity.

10. An ejector lever, comprising:

a lever body comprising a head and an arm, a cavity having openings at two ends being disposed on the arm; and

an unlocking mechanism comprising an unlocking hook and a safety latch, the unlocking hook being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a first rotating shaft, the safety latch being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a second rotating shah, the unlocking hook being provided with a first end and a second end, the first end being opposite to the second end across the first rotating shaft, the first end being provided with a hook, the second end being provided with a first abutting part, the safety latch being provided with a second abutting part, the first abutting part being in contact with the second abutting part, the second abutting part being configured to apply a first force on the first abutting part when the safety latch rotates around the second rotating shaft to enable the unlocking hook to rotate around the first rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft being fixedly disposed inside the cavity, the first end and the hook of the unlocking hook extending out of an opening at one end of the cavity, the safety latch being provided with a trigger, and the trigger extending out of an opening at the other end of the cavity.

11. A board assembly, comprising:

a board; and

a panel fixedly coupled to the board, a hole being disposed on the panel, the board assembly further comprising an ejector lever comprising a lever body and an unlocking mechanism, the unlocking mechanism comprising an unlocking hook and a safety latch, the unlocking hook being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a first rotating shaft, the safety latch being rotatably coupled to the lever body using a second rotating shaft, the unlocking hook being provided with a first end and a second end, the first end being opposite to the second end across the first rotating shaft, the first end being provided with a hook, the second end being provided with a first abutting part, the safety latch being provided with a second abutting part, the first abutting part being in contact with the second abutting part, the second abutting part being configured to apply a first force on the first abutting part when the safety latch rotates around the second rotating shaft to enable the unlocking hook to rotate around the first rotating shaft, the lever body being provided with a head and an arm, the head being rotatably coupled to the board or the panel using a third rotating shaft, when the ejector lever is locked on the panel, the first end, provided with the hook, of the unlocking hook passes through the hole on the panel, and the hook hooks the panel at an edge of the hole, a cavity having openings at two ends being disposed on the arm, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft being fixedly disposed inside the cavity, the first end and the hook of the unlocking hook extending out of an opening at one end of the cavity, the safety latch being provided with a trigger, and the trigger extending out of an opening at the other end of the cavity.
