The disclosure relates to an electronic device and a tray and, more particularly, to a tray capable of being assembled or disassembled conveniently and an electronic device equipped with the tray.
A server is used to serve various computers or portable electronic devices in network system. To satisfy various requirements of functions, some servers are equipped with an electronic module with a specific weight. For example, a server applied to test a self-driving vehicle is equipped with a self-driving simulator with a weight about 7 kg. In general, a casing of the server may be further equipped with various electronic components, such that an operation space within the casing is limited. Therefore, how to allow a user to assemble or disassemble the electronic module within a limited space conveniently and rapidly has become a significant design issue.
The disclosure provides a tray capable of being assembled or disassembled conveniently and an electronic device equipped with the tray, so as to solve the aforesaid problems.
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device includes a casing and a tray. The casing includes an engaging portion. The tray is disposed in the casing. The tray includes a tray body, a handle, a sliding member, an elastic member and a lock member. The tray body includes a side plate and a bottom plate. The handle is movably connected to the side plate. The handle includes a first driving portion. The sliding member is movably connected to the side plate. The sliding member includes a first driving groove and a second driving groove. The first driving portion is disposed in the first driving groove. Opposite ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the side plate and the sliding member. The lock member is movably connected to the bottom plate. The lock member includes a second driving portion, a through hole and an engaging recess. The second driving portion is disposed in the second driving groove. The through hole is connected to the engaging recess. The engaging portion engages with the engaging recess. When the handle moves along a first direction, the first driving portion presses a side wall of the first driving groove, such that the sliding member moves along a second direction and deforms the elastic member. When the sliding member moves along the second direction, a side wall of the second driving groove presses the second driving portion, such that the lock member moves along a third direction. After the lock member moves along the third direction, the engaging portion disengages from the engaging recess and is aligned with the through hole. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
