MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR HARD DISK DRIVE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH THE MOUNTING APPARATUS

摘要

A mounting apparatus includes a bracket receiving a hard disk drive (HDD), a transmission mechanism mounted on a side of the bracket, and an operation member. The transmission mechanism includes an installing frame, a first rack, and a second rack. The gear is engaged with the first and second racks. A first end of the operation member is detachably latched to the bracket, while a second end of the operation member is movably connected to the bracket. An abutting piece protrudes out from a rear end of the second rack and abuts against a rear end of the hard disk drive. The operation member is slid rearward, to push the first rack to slide rearward. The first rack drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the second rack to slide forward, and the abutting piece abuts against the HDD to move the HDD out of the bracket.

主权项

1. A mounting apparatus for a hard disk drive, the mounting apparatus comprising:
a bracket for receiving the hard disk drive; a transmission mechanism comprising an installing frame mounted to a first side of the bracket, a first rack slidably received in the installing frame in a fore-and-aft direction, a second rack slidably received in the installing frame in the fore-and-aft direction, and a gear rotatably mounted to the installing frame and between the first and second racks, the gear meshing with the first and second racks, an abutting piece protruding from a rear end of the second rack; and an operation member comprising a first end movably mounted to the first side of the bracket, wherein a second end of the operation member detachably latches to a second side of the bracket to block a front end of the hard disk drive received in the bracket; wherein, to release the hard disk, the second end of the operation member is operated to be detached from the bracket, and rotated away from the hard disk drive, until the first end of the operation member aligns with the first rack, the operation member is slid rearward, to push the first rack to slide rearward, the first rack drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the second rack to slide forward, and the abutting piece abuts against the hard disk drive to move the hard disk drive out of the bracket.
