And a freely disposed winding 593 disposed between the first end 591 and the second end 592. The first torsion spring 59 is used to be positioned at one end of the chute 367 after the rotation of the rotary member 55, preventing the rotary member 55 from moving freely within the chute 367.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 at the same time, in the assembly, the mounting hole 5111 of the hook member 51 is firstly opposed to the fixing hole 352 of the fixing member 35, and the hook member 51 is fixed to the fixing member by a fixing member (not shown). On piece 35. Then, the locking block 533 is opposite to the through hole 353 of the fixing member 35, the fixing end 532 of the locking member 53 is opposed to the fixing block 355, and the rotating shaft 531 is passed through the fixing block 355, so that the locking member 53 is rotatably assembled. On the fixing member 35, the second torsion spring 57 is sleeved on the fixing post 535 of the locking member 53, and one end is fixed on the first hook 359 of the fixing member 35, and the other end is fixed on the locking member 53. . Then, the positioning post 365 of the fixing member 35 is passed through the positioning hole 551 of the rotating member 55, so that the rotating member 55 is rotatably fitted to the fixing member 35, and the hooking portion 559 of the rotating member 55 is slid into the receiving portion 368. In the chute 367, the driving block 557 is disposed under the driven block 537, and the first end 591 of the first torsion spring 59 is fixed on the second hook block 361 of the fixing member 35, and the second end 592 is fixed. On the fixing table 553 of the rotary member 55, the winding 593 is freely disposed. Finally, the elastic member 351 is fixed on the fixing member 35, and then sleeved on the protruding post 315, so that the fixing member 35 is elastically fixed to the front housing 31, and the hook 513 on the hook member 51 passes through the opening. The 311 is exposed so that the hook 513 is hooked on the electronic device 10, and then the dial portion 555 is passed through the dial groove 331, so that the dial portion 555 can be exposed to the rear housing 33 to facilitate the operation of the user. At this point, the assembly is complete.

Before the fixing device 20 is used to fix the electronic device 10: the hooking portion 559 of the rotating member 55 is located in the sliding groove 367 of the fixing member 35 near one of the inlets 368 At the end, the driven block 537 slides along the driving surface 5573, and after being driven by the driving portion 5571, the locking block 533 is located inside the casing 30.

When it is necessary to fix the electronic device 10 to the fixing device 20: first, the hook 513 of the hook member 51 is passed through the card slot 14 and then hooked on the electronic device 10; then, the toggle on the rotating member 55 is toggled. Block 558 causes the rotating member 55 to rotate about the positioning post 365, while the hook portion 559 also slides within the chute 367, the first torsion spring 59 is turned, that is, the winding 593 is second from the rotating member 55 and the fixing member 35. The same side of the hook block 361 is rotated to the opposite side, so that the hooking portion 559 of the rotating member 55 is fixed to the end of the sliding groove 367 away from the inlet 368, and the rotating member 55 is prevented from moving arbitrarily in the sliding groove 367. At the same time, the driven block 537 gradually slides down along the driving surface 5573 under the force of the second torsion spring 57, so that the locking block 533 is sequentially inserted into the slot 14 through the through hole 353 and the opening 311, thereby preventing the hooking from being inserted into the card slot 14. The hook member 51 on the electronic device 10 is detached from the electronic device 10.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 simultaneously, when the electronic device 10 needs to be detached from the fixing device 20, the toggle block 558 of the rotating member 55 is toggled, so that the rotating member 55 rotates around the positioning post 365, and at the same time, the hook portion 559 Also sliding in the chute 367, the first torsion spring 59 is turned, that is, the winding 593 is restored, thereby fixing the hooking portion 559 of the rotating member 55 to the end of the sliding groove 367 near the inlet 368, preventing the rotating member 55 from slipping. The movement portion 557 is arbitrarily moved, and at the same time, the driving portion 5571 lifts the driven block 537 such that the driven block 537 rises along the driving surface 5573 against the urging force of the second torsion spring 57, so that the lock block 533 is removed from the card slot 14. Exiting and retracting from the opening 311 into the housing 30; finally, the hook 513 of the hook member 51 is withdrawn from the card slot 14, thereby separating the electronic device 10 from the fixture 20.

The lock block 533 of the above-described latching device 50 is inserted into the card slot 14 of the electronic device 10, thereby preventing the hook member 51 hooked in the card slot 14 from being separated from the electronic device. Each of the two sides of the positioning hole 551 of the rotating member 55 is provided with a hooking portion 559 for hooking in the sliding groove 367, preventing the rotating member 55 from being separated from the fixing member 35 during the rotation, and also preventing the rotating member 55 is deflected by the torsion of the first torsion spring 59. The latching device 50 has a first torsion spring 59 fixed to the rotating member 55 and the fixing member 35 at both ends to position the rotating member 55 at both ends of the sliding slot 367 to prevent the rotating member 55 from being arbitrarily in the sliding slot 367. Movement affects the stability of the fixed device 20 to secure the electronic device 10.
