BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a supporting device and an electronic apparatus, and more particularly, to a supporting device capable of bearing violent collision and a related electronic apparatus.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A conventional server disposes a plurality of hard disks inside casings, and the casings are disposed inside a rack via sliders. Each of a left side and a right side of the casing has an engagement mechanism used to constrain a movement of the casing relative to the rack. A resilient piece of the engagement mechanism is fixed on a lateral wall of the casing via rivet or other fixing component. The resilient piece has a protruding portion, and the protruding portion passes through the lateral wall of the casing to insert into a corresponding hole on the rack, for constraining the foresaid movement. However, if the server is hit, the casing may be violently collided with the rack, and the protruding portion of the resilient piece directly hit the hole on the rack; meanwhile, the rivet is affected by collision and easily damaged, and the engagement mechanism cannot constrain the movement of the casing due to the damaged rivet. Thus, design of a casing and a related server capable of keeping preferred constraint function when being hit by violent collision is an important issue in the mechanical design industry.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure provides a supporting device capable of bearing violent collision and a related electronic apparatus for solving above drawbacks.

According to the claimed disclosure, a supporting device assembled with an accommodating device and includes a casing and an engaging module. The engaging module is slidably disposed on the casing to engage with the accommodating device. The engaging module includes an engaging component, a pressing component and a fixing component. The engaging component has an engaging portion and a sliding slot, and the engaging portion is engaged with the accommodating device. The pressing component is disposed on the engaging component in a resiliently deformable manner. The fixing component pierces through the sliding slot to fix the engaging component on the casing.

According to the claimed disclosure, the casing has a hole, and the engaging portion passes through the hole to engage with the accommodating device.

According to the claimed disclosure, a structural direction of the sliding slot is parallel to a moving direction of the casing relative to the accommodating device, and the engaging module is moved relative to the casing along the moving direction.

According to the claimed disclosure, an opening slot is formed on an end of the pressing component, the other end of the pressing component is fixed to the engaging component, the fixing component passes through the sliding slot and the opening slot to assemble the engaging module with the casing, and the pressing component is disposed on the engaging component in the resiliently deformable manner.

According to the claimed disclosure, a structural direction of the opening slot is parallel to a moving direction of the casing relative to the accommodating device.

According to the claimed disclosure, the pressing component includes a first area and a second area connected to each other, the first area is disposed on the casing, and the second area movably contacts against the engaging component.

According to the claimed disclosure, the pressing component includes a first area, a second area and a third area connected to each other, the first area and the third area are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the second area, the first area and the third area are disposed on the casing, the second area movably contacts against the engaging component.

According to the claimed disclosure, at least one of a concave structure and a hollow structure is disposed on a central region of the engaging component.

According to the claimed disclosure, an electronic apparatus includes an accommodating device and a supporting device. The supporting device is assembled with the accommodating device in a separable manner. The supporting device includes a casing and an engaging module. The engaging module is disposed on the casing to engage with the accommodating device. The engaging module includes an engaging component, a pressing component and a fixing component. The engaging component has an engaging portion and a sliding slot, and the engaging portion is engaged with the accommodating device. The pressing component is disposed on the engaging component in a resiliently deformable manner. The fixing component pierces through the sliding slot to fix the engaging module on the casing.

The supporting device of the present disclosure can pass the fixing component through the sliding slot to suspend the engaging component above the casing. The interval between the engaging portion of the engaging component and the hole on the casing can be smaller than the interval between the fixing component and the sliding slot of the engaging component. When the supporting device is hit, the external collision is sustained by the engaging portion, and the fixing component does not contact the inner surface of the sliding slot on the engaging component, so that the fixing component cannot be deformed or damaged. Further, the supporting device can dispose the pressing component on the engaging component; the fixing component can pass through the opening slot on the pressing component to suspend the pressing component above the casing. The pressing component can apply the resilient recovering force for enhancing the resilient recovering force of the engaging component, so as to ensure the engaging portion can be set in an initial state of inserting into the hole on the casing and being engaged with the accommodating device. Comparing to the prior art, the supporting device and the electronic apparatus of the present disclosure can have advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. The supporting device can provide functions of stable engagement and convenient disassembly without complicated structures, and can be rapidly repaired to reduce manufacturing and maintaining cost.

These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
