Electronic device having an elastic member

1. An electronic device comprising:

a framework extending in a longitudinal direction and defining a plurality of receiving grooves, each receiving groove having a latching tuber around a side edge thereof;

a plurality of modules detachably mounted within the receiving grooves of the framework; and

a plurality of elastic members each comprising a fixed portion attached to the module and a moveable portion having a corresponding latching recess mated with the latching tuber; wherein

the moveable portion of the elastic member is located inwardly of the side edge of the framework, and

a gap is located around said side edge and defined between the module and the framework for accessing, from an exterior, the moveable portion of the elastic member by inserting an extraction tool in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to elastically deform the moveable portion to disengage the latching tuber from the latching recess.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each module forms a bugled side section in a vertical cross-section, and the corresponding receiving groove forms a corresponding bulged side edge in the vertical cross-section to compliantly receive said bulged side section for guidably assembling the module into the receiving groove along the horizontal direction without risks of being dropped off in a vertical direction perpendicular to said horizontal direction.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said moveable portion is deflectable in the vertical direction.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the framework exposes the module in the vertical direction.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a notch is formed in the receiving groove to surround the corresponding latching tuber, and the gap communicates with said notch for accessing the moveable portion from said exterior.

6. A method of assembling an electronic device comprising steps of:

providing a framework with a plurality of receiving grooves each communicating with an exterior in both a vertical direction and a horizontal direction perpendicular to each other, each of said receiving grooves being equipped with a latching tuber around a side opening;

horizontally assembling, along the horizontal direction, a plurality of modules into the corresponding receiving grooves via the corresponding side openings, respectively, each of said module being equipped with a moveable portion having a latching recess therein to latchably receive the corresponding latching tuber therein; wherein

a gap is formed around the side opening between the corresponding module and the corresponding receiving groove so as to perform accessibility of the moveable portion for disengaging the latching recess from the latching tuber by deflecting the moveable portion in the vertical direction; wherein

after assembled, the module is exposed to the exterior in both said vertical direction and said horizontal direction with regard to the framework.

7. An electronic device comprising:

a framework defining an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to each other in a vertical direction, said upper surface forming a panel slot and said lower surface forming a plurality of receiving grooves, each of said receiving grooves including a notch around a side edge of the framework which extends in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, and a tuber located in the notch;

a plurality of modules detachably mounted within the receiving grooves of the framework along a transverse direction perpendicular to both said vertical direction and said longitudinal direction; and

a plurality of elastic members each comprising a fixed portion attached to the module and a moveable portion having a corresponding latching recess mated with the latching tuber; wherein

a gap located around said side edge and defined between the module and the framework for accessing, from an exterior, the moveable portion of the elastic member to elastically deflect the moveable portion in said vertical direction to disengage the latching tuber from the latching recess.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein each module forms a bugled side section in a vertical cross-section, and the corresponding receiving groove forms a corresponding bulged side edge in the vertical cross-section to compliantly receive said bulged side section for guidably assembling the module into the receiving groove along said transverse direction without risks of being dropped off in said vertical direction.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the framework exposes the module in the vertical direction.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the gap communicates with said notch for easy accessing the moveable portion from said exterior.
