Locking assembly and communication apparatus using same

摘要

A communication apparatus includes a clapboard having a locking hole defined therein and forming part of a receiving portion, and a housing structure defining a latching hole opposite to the locking hole. A locking assembly is mounted to the housing structure and used to disengagably lock the housing structure in the receiving portion, and includes a locking part, a sliding part and a handle. The locking part is fixed to the housing structure and a sliding part including a resisting portion passing through the latching hole and the locking hole to engage with the communication apparatus. The sliding part is movably mounted in the housing structure and includes a resisting portion to engage with the latching portion. The handle slidably passes through the housing structure and is fixed to the sliding part.

主权项

1. A locking assembly for locking a housing structure containing an electronic device in a communication apparatus, the housing structure defining at least one latching hole, and the locking assembly comprising:
a locking part, fixed to the housing structure and comprising at least one latching portion, a guiding portion, a fixing portion fixed on the housing structure, and a connecting portion between the guiding portion and the fixing portion, the at least one latching portion and the guiding portion being respectively configured at two opposite outer and inner side of the connecting portion, the at least one latching portion comprising an edge extending forwardly and outwardly from the housing structure, the at least one latching portion passing through the at least one latching hole to engage with the communication apparatus so as to lock the housing structure onto the communication apparatus, the guiding portion bending rearward and inward into an interior of the housing structure; a sliding part, movably mounted in the housing structure and comprising a resisting portion rearward of the guiding portion, wherein the resisting portion comprises a resisting surface facing the locking part, the edge of the at least one latching portion is inclined relative to the connecting portion and extends away from the sliding part, and when the handle is pulled forward, the resisting surface urges the edge of the at least one latching portion to cause the locking part to elastically deform inward; and a handle, slidably passing through the housing structure and fixed to the sliding part; wherein when the handle is pulled forward, the handle drives the sliding part towards the guiding portion of the locking part, the resisting portion urges the edge of the at least one latching portion and causes the locking part to elastically deform inward, and at least one latching portion thereby disengages from the communication apparatus such that the electronic device is removable from the communication apparatus.
