1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to mounting apparatuses, and particularly to a mounting apparatus for securing input/output devices in an electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
Computer systems usually include multiple input/output devices, and the input/output devices are secured in a mounting tray. The mounting tray is often secured to a rear plate of a chassis by screws, which can be very inconvenient and laborious. Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
The mounting tray 10 comprises a first sidewall 18 and a second sidewall 19 opposite to the first sidewall 18. A positioning portion 12 and a resilient portion 13 extend from the first sidewall 18. The positioning portion 12 comprises a main body 120 and two positioning posts 122 located on the main body 120. The main body 120 defines a through hole 124. The resilient portion 13 is located above the positioning portion 12 and comprises a resilient arm 130 and a clipping block 134 located on the resilient arm 130. The resilient arm 130 extends through the through hole 124 and moveable in the through hole 124. The clipping block 134 comprises a guiding surface 135. In one embodiment, the guiding surface 135 is slanted. A clamping piece 15 extends from the second sidewall 19. In one embodiment, the clamping piece 15 is L-shaped. Two resisting portions 17 are located opposite long sidewall of the mounting tray 10.
The securing plate 20 comprises a bottom surface 26 and a top surface 27 opposite to the bottom surface 26. An opening 28 and two positioning holes 29 are defined in the securing plate 20. Two resisting panels 24 extend from opposite edges of the opening 28 and located on the top surface 27. In one embodiment, the two resisting panels 24 are substantially parallel to each other, and the two positioning holes 29 are located on one end of the opening 28.
In disassembly, the resilient portion 13 is deformable to disengage from the second edge of the opening 28. The two positioning posts 122 are removed from the two positioning holes 29. The clamping piece 15 is disengaged from the first edge of the opening 28, and the mounting tray 10 can be disengaged from the securing plate 20.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
