Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform ejection with superior operability with simple constitution by enabling the abutting part of an ejection plate abutted with a slide plate to be moved to a rotary supporting shaft side when the ejection is performed. CONSTITUTION:When an eject button 9 is depressed in a direction of arrow head C, the slide plate 8 is moved, and the ejection plate 11 is rotated with a rotary supporting shaft 18 as fulcrum, and the abutting point of the slide plate 8 with the ejection plate 11 is moved to the rotary supporting shaft 18 side gradually. Therefore, it is possible to easily extract the connector of a magnetic recorder from a lock connector 4, and no high ejecting force is required in a state where the connector is released from the lock connector 4, and eject distance can be secured with a light force even when it is abutted with the slide plate 8 at a point near to the rotary supporting shaft 18 side. In such a way, an ejection mechanism with superior operability can be obtained, and the ejection with one touch can be realized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION E-INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention effectively ejects a magnetic recording device in a mounting unit on which a magnetic recording device rotatably supports a visible magnetic disk. The present invention relates to a unit equipped with a magnetic recording device.

2. Conventional technology FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a conventional eject mechanism.

In FIG. 5, the magnetic recording device W1 is inserted into the insertion slot 3 of the mounting unit 2 in the direction of arrow R in the figure. The magnetic recording device inserted! 1 is locked by coupling a lock connector 4 provided in the mounting unit 2 with a connector (not shown) provided in the magnetic recording device W1.

After the insertion, the magnetic recording device W1 is attached to the mounting unit 2.
The magnetic recording device 1 protrudes from the bezel 5 provided on the entire surface by about 21 mm, and when the magnetic recording device 1 is ejected from the mounting unit 2, the protruding portion of the magnetic recording device 1 must be held and taken out. did not become.

However, if it is removed manually, there is a risk that the connecting portion between the connector of the magnetic recording device 1 and the lock connector 4 in the mounting unit 2 may be destroyed. Further, there are other problems such as the magnetic recording device 1 being accidentally removed during operation or not being able to be removed smoothly.

Means for Solving Two Problems] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and includes a slide member connected to an eject button, a lever member for ejecting a magnetic recording device, and a rotatable support for the lever member. In the ejecting device having a rotation shaft that presses the lever member, and a spring member that biases the lever member, ejection is achieved by moving a contact portion of the lever member that contacts the slide member toward the rotation shaft side. 6 [
Effect: According to the above means, an eject mechanism with good operability can be realized, and a mounting unit that can be ejected with a single touch can be provided.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the mounting unit according to the present invention with the top cover removed, FIG. 2 is a side perspective view of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3A to 3C are operations during ejection. FIG. 4 is a side view of the upper cover. In addition, the same members as in the conventional example are given the same numbers and detailed explanations are omitted.

In FIG. 1, the mounting unit 2 is installed inside the computer main body, and the connector 6 is connected to the computer main body.
, a lock connector 4 connected to a connector (not shown) of the magnetic recording device 1, and a guide plate 7.7 for guiding and positioning the magnetic recording device W1 to the lock connector 4.
A bezel 5 is formed on the entire surface of the mounting unit 2, and a slide plate 8 protrudes from a part of the bezel 5.
an eject button 9 mounted and supported on the slide plate 8; a support plate 10 supporting the slide plate 8; an eject plate 11 supported on one end of the support plate 10 for ejecting the magnetic recording device 1; 11, and a key 13 for preventing the magnetic recording device fi1 from being removed from the mounting unit 2. Each of the members is mounted and supported on a base plate 14. ing.

In FIG. 2, the slide plate 8 supported by the support plate 10 is connected to the guide plate 7 by means of pins 15.15.
It is positioned at ゛. The slide plate 8 is provided with two elongated sections 16 and 16, which restrict the movement of the slide plate 8. Further, the eject button 9 is attached to one end of the slide plate 8 on the side of the magnetic recording device 1 insertion port, and by pushing in the direction of arrow A in the figure, the slide plate 8 is also moved in the direction A to perform the eject operation. Let's do it.

Next, the ejecting operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C.

First, FIG. 3A shows the state when the magnetic recording device 3 is inserted and locked.

A connector (not shown) of the magnetic recording device 1 is connected to the lock connector 4 . In this state, the end surface 17 of the magnetic recording device W1 is in contact with the roller 12, and the right end of the eject plate 11 in the figure is in contact with the rotation support shaft 18 supported by one end of the slide plate 8 as a fulcrum. The contact portion of the slide plate 8 is in contact with one point, and in this state, maximum force is generated during ejection. Further, the eject plate 11 is moved by the arrow B in the figure by the spring 19.
The slide plate 8 that is in contact with the eject plate 11 is always urged toward the insertion port 3 side.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3B, the eject button 9
When pushed in the direction of arrow C, the slide plate 8 moves by a distance D1 from the state shown in FIG. 3A.

The eject plate 11 rotates about the rotational support shaft 18, and the contact point between the slide plate 8 and the eject plate 11 is arranged so that the contact point between the slide plate 8 and the eject plate 11 is in contact with the entire contact surface of the slide plate 8. The contact surface of the eject plate 11 is in parallel contact with the contact surface of the slide plate 8.

As a result, the eject plate 11 receives an eject force from the slide plate 8 from the state shown in FIG. 3A, and the connector of the magnetic recording device 1 can be easily pulled out from the lock connector 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the slide plate 8 is further moved to a distance D2, the magnetic recording device 1 ejected from the connector 4
It is ejected to the insertion port 3 side by the pressure of the roller 12 as it rotates.

In the state in which it is released from the lock connector 4, it is not necessary to use much force at the time of ejecting, and only the force required to protrude from the bezel 5 is enough to make it come into contact with the slide plate 8 at a point close to the rotation support shaft 18 side. Eject distance can be secured with a light force.

In FIG. 4, the upper cover 20 is provided with an insertion portion 21 that is inserted into an insertion opening (not shown) provided on the upper edge of the bezel 5. As shown in FIG.

Conventionally, as the magnetic recording device 1 has become thinner, the mounting unit 2 has also become thinner, and for this reason, the bezel 5 has also been required to be thinner. As a result, there have been many problems in that the bezel 5 has low strength and is easily deformed or damaged. However, by integrating the insertion portion 21 provided on the upper cover 20 with the bezel 5, it becomes possible to increase the strength of the bezel 5 as it becomes thinner.

Further, in the past, the shutter was provided on the bezel 5, but in this case, it is not provided on the bezel 5, but is provided on the upper cover 20, so that the rotation of the shutter 22 @
23 can be freely positioned on the upper side, and the position of the rotation shaft 23 can be selected in accordance with the reduction in the thickness of the entire device, and the degree of freedom in design can be improved.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the abutting portion of the eject plate that abuts the slide plate moves toward the rotational shaft during ejection, making it possible to easily eject with good operability. This can be done with configuration.
