Positioning apparatus and electronic device using the same

摘要

A positioning apparatus for installing a server unit on a rack includes a frame fixed to the server unit, an operation member slidably installed to the frame, a pivot member sandwiched between the frame and the operation member, and a resilient member connected between the frame and the operation member. A rear end of the pivot member is rotatably connected to the frame, and a latching piece protrudes out from a front end of the pivot member. The pivot member defines a guiding slot. The frame defines a through slot aligning with the latching piece. The operation member includes a sliding pole protruding from the operation member and extending through the guiding slot. The resilient member biases the operation member to move, the sliding pole slides in the guiding slot to rotate the pivot member, and the latching piece extends through the through slot to latch onto the rack.

1. A positioning apparatus for installing a server unit in a rack, comprising:
a frame fixed to the server unit; an operation member slidably installed to the frame and comprising a sliding pole; a pivot member sandwiched between the frame and the operation member, a rear end of the pivot member rotatably connected to the frame; a latching piece protruding out from a front end of the pivot member; and a resilient member connected between the frame and the operation member; wherein the pivot member defines a first guiding slot; the frame defines a through slot aligning with the latching piece; the sliding pole extends through the first guiding slot; when the resilient member biases the operation member to move adjacent to the rear end of the pivot member, the sliding pole slides in the first guiding slot of the pivot member to rotate the pivot member; the latching piece extends through the through slot to be latched to the rack; wherein when the operation member is slid away from the rear end of the pivot member, the resilient member is deformed and the pivot member is rotated, to detach the latching piece from the rack.
