1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to mounting devices, and particularly to a mounting device for a display module.
2. Description of Related Art
In a number of electronic apparatuses, such as servers, a display module reveals the working status for many electronic modules, such as graphics cards and hard disk drives, so that operators can see the real-time status of each electronic module. However, each display module is in a fixed position, which may not always be convenient for the operator. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference 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 display module 100 includes a screen 101 and a rotating portion 102 connected to the screen 101. The rotating portion 102 includes a rotating shaft 1021 and a connecting shaft 1022 connected to the screen 101. In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 1021 is substantially perpendicular to the connecting shaft 1022.
The chassis 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 13 extending substantially perpendicularly from the bottom plate 11.
The mounting assembly 200 includes a cage 20 and a mounting member 30.
The cage 20 includes a bottom wall 21, two sidewalls 22, and a front wall 23. In one embodiment, the bottom wall 21 is substantially perpendicular to the two sidewalls 22 and the front wall 23, and each of two sidewalls 22 is substantially perpendicular to the front wall 23. The front wall 23 extends from a first end of the bottom wall 21. A second end of the bottom wall 21, opposite to the front wall 23, defines two positioning holes 211. A flange 221 extends substantially perpendicularly inwardly from a top edge of each of the two sidewalls 22. A sliding rail 223 is defined by the arrangement of the flange 221, the sidewall 22, and the bottom wall 21. The front wall 23 defines an opening 231. A maintaining piece 233 extends from each of first two opposite edges of the opening 231, which is substantially parallel to the bottom wall 21. A blocking piece 235 extends from each of second two opposite edges of the opening 231, which is substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 21. In one embodiment, the maintaining piece 233 is substantially perpendicular to the blocking piece 235.
The mounting member 30 includes a mounting portion 32 and a support portion 31. A width of the mounting portion 32 is smaller than a width of the support portion 31. The support portion 31 defines a mounting hole 311. A resilient piece 321 extends obliquely from each of two side surfaces of the mounting portion 32.
The rotating shaft 1021 is positioned in the first receiving slot 5163. The installation member 60 is moved to align the limiting slot 63 with the connecting shaft 1022. The installation member 60 is pressed inward, so the limiting block 66 is elastically deformed towards the aperture 65. Until the connecting shaft 1022 is slid over the limiting rib 661, the limiting block 66 rebounds and the limiting rib 661 abuts a side end of the connecting shaft 1022, so as to engage the connecting shaft 1022 in the limiting slot 63. The through hole 61 is aligned with the positioning block 5161. The installation member 60 is moved further, until the positioning block 5161 is engaged in the through hole 61, and the rotating shaft 1021 is received in the second receiving slot 62. In this way, the rotating shaft 1021 is rotatably received in the first receiving slot 5163 and the second receiving slot 62.
Referring to
When the display module 100 is in the second position (see
When the display module 100 is desired, the display module 100 is pulled outwards to disengage the latching portion 55 from the mounting hole 311, until the resisting piece 513 is aligned with the positioning hole 211. The resisting piece 513 rebounds to engage in the positioning hole 211, and the display module 100 can be slid out of the cage 20. In this position, the screen 101 is in the second position. The screen 101 is rotatable between the first and second positions and to any angle in between.
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 the matters of shape, size, and the 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.
