Abstract

A mounting device includes a mounting box, a tray, and a sliding mechanism. The mounting box includes a bottom plate. The sliding mechanism includes a handle and at least one driving member. The driving member is movably coupled to the handle. In a pull configuration of the sliding mechanism, when the handle is rotated toward the bottom plate, the driving member is driven to drive the tray to move along a first direction, and when the handle is rotated away from the bottom plate, the tray is not driven to move. In a push configuration of the sliding mechanism, when the handle is rotated toward the bottom plate, the tray is not driven to move, and when the handle is rotated away from the bottom plate, the driving member is driven to drive the tray to move toward a second direction opposite to the first direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mounting device comprising:
a mounting box comprising two oppositely arranged side plates;
a tray slidably mounted within the mounting box and comprising two oppositely arranged fixing plates; and

a sliding mechanism comprising:
a handle;
at least one driving rod;
at least one driving member; and
at least one switching component; wherein:
one end of the handle is rotationally mounted to one of the side plates, and another end of the handle is rotationally mounted to the other one of the side plates;
one end of the at least one driving rod is rotationally coupled to the handle, and another end of the at least one driving rod is coupled to the at least one driving member;
the at least one driving member is slidably mounted to the fixing plates;
the switching component comprises a mounting block and a switching member;
the mounting block is fixed to the fixing plates and protrudes beyond an edge of the fixing plates;
a portion of the mounting block protruding beyond the edge of the fixing plates defines a first positioning slot and a second positioning slot;
the switching member comprises a first plate and a second plate, the first plate and the second plate being connected together at an angle;
the first plate received through either the first positioning slot or the second positioning slot;
when the handle is rotated, the handle drives the at least one driving member to slide through the at least one driving rod, the at least one driving member resists against the second plate to drive the mounting block and the tray to move together;
when the first plate is received through the first positioning slot, the at least one driving member resists against a first side of the second plate and the at least one driving member drives the mounting block and the tray to move along a first direction; and
when the first plate is received through the second positioning slot, the at least one driving member resists against a second side opposite to the first side of the second plate and the at least one driving member drives the mounting block and the tray to move along a second direction opposite to the first direction.

2. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein:
the switching member further comprises a third plate;
the second plate comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the second connecting portion is coupled to the first connecting portion;
the first connecting portion is coupled to the first plate, and the second connecting portion is coupled to the third plate;
the second connecting portion is more adjacent to the mounting block than the first connecting portion;
the first connecting portion is resisted by the at least one driving member;
the second connecting portion extends between the at least one driving member and the mounting block;
two ends of the third plate are each rotationally coupled to each of two coupling rods;
each of the two coupling rods is rotationally coupled to the fixing plate and the two coupling rods are parallel to each other;
the switching member is switched between the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot by the coupling rods;

when the switching member is switched between the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot, the switching member simultaneously moves along a direction perpendicular to the tray to align the second connecting portion with the at least one driving member to pass the second connecting portion between the at least one driving member and the mounting block.

3. The mounting device of claim 2 , wherein:
the switching component further comprises a pushing block;
the pushing block comprises a main body slidably mounted to a side of the mounting block facing away from the fixing plate and a pushing rod;
a driving slot is defined in an edge of the pushing block away from the tray;
two sidewalls of the driving slot are formed at an angle;
the first plate received through either the first positioning slot or the second positioning slot is received through the driving slot;
the second plate defines an inserting slot extending perpendicular to the tray;
the pushing rod drives the switching member to move by pushing an inner wall of the inserting slot;
the coupling rods and the sidewalls drive the switching member to move away from the tray.

4. The mounting device of claim 3 , wherein:
the pushing block further comprises two fixing pins spaced apart on the main body;
the mounting block defines a sliding groove extending parallel to the tray;
the fixing pins are slidably received within the sliding groove.

5. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one driving member is a roller pin;
one end of the rolling pin is rotationally mounted to the at least one driving rod;
and another end of the rolling pin is rotationally mounted to a top edge of the fixing plates.

6. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein:
the mounting box further comprises a bracket;
the bracket is coupled to an end of the two side plates away from the tray.

7. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein:
the handle comprises a connecting rod and two rotating rods, each of the rotating rods is coupled to a corresponding end of the connecting rod;
one end of each of the rotating rods is rotationally coupled to an inner side of the corresponding side plate away from the connecting rod.

8. The mounting device of claim 7 , wherein:
a quantity of the at least one driving rod is two, and a quantity of the switching component is two;
each of the at least one driving rods is coupled to the corresponding rotating rod; and
each of the switching components is mounted to the corresponding fixing plate.

9. A mounting device comprising:
a mounting box comprising a bottom plate; a tray slidably received within the mounting box; and
a sliding mechanism comprising a handle and at least one driving member;

wherein:
the handle is rotationally coupled to the mounting box; the at least one driving member is movably coupled to the handle;
in a pull configuration of the sliding mechanism, the handle is rotated toward the bottom plate, the at least one driving member is driven to drive the tray to move along a first direction, and when the handle is rotated away from the bottom plate, the tray is not driven to move;
in a push configuration of the sliding mechanism, the handle is rotated toward the bottom plate, the tray is not driven to move, and when the handle is rotated away from the bottom plate, the at least one driving member is driven to drive the tray to move toward a second direction opposite to the first direction;

wherein:
the mounting box comprises two oppositely arranged side plates;
the tray comprises two oppositely arranged fixing plates;
the sliding mechanism further comprises at least one driving rod and at least one switching component;
one end of the handle is rotationally mounted to one of the side plates, and another end of the handle is rotationally mounted to the other one of the side plates;
one end of the at least one driving rod is rotationally coupled to the handle, and another end of the at least one driving rod is coupled to the driving member;
the at least one driving member is slidably mounted to the fixing plates;
the switching component comprises a mounting block and a switching member;
the mounting block is fixed to the fixing plates and protrudes beyond an edge of the fixing plate;
