In addition, in order to simplify the drawings, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple and schematic manner. And if implementation is possible, the features of different embodiments can be applied interactively.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a switcher 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the chassis 130 is located in a cabinet 110. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the switch machine 100 of FIG. 1, wherein the chassis 130 is located outside the cabinet 110. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a switcher 100 includes a cabinet 110, at least a pair of slide rails 120, and at least one chassis 130. In fact, the chassis 130 includes a motherboard and related components (not shown). In order to make the drawing simple and clear, the appearance of the cabinet 110 is shown by dashed lines.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cabinet 130 slides into the chamber C through the opening O. As shown in FIG. 2, the casing 130 slides through the opening O and leaves the chamber C. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the casing 130 includes a pair of first protruding portions 131 and a pair of second protruding portions 132. When the case 130 slides into the chamber C, the first protrusions 131 press against the corresponding first bumps 121, and the second protrusions 132 press against the corresponding second bumps 122, respectively, to fix the case. The relative position of 130 and the cabinet 110 in the second direction D2, and the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1.

Structurally, the first protrusions 131 of the cabinet 130 are far from each other, and the second protrusions 132 of the cabinet 130 are far from each other. In contrast, the first protrusions 121 of the slide rail 120 face each other, and the second protrusions 122 of the slide rail 120 face each other. That is, when the casing 130 slides between the slide rails 120, the first protruding portion 131 and the second protruding portion 132 of the casing 130 both face the slide rail 120, and the first projection 121 of the slide rail 120 Both the second protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 122 face the casing 130, so that the first protrusion 131 can respectively press the corresponding first protrusion 121, and the second protrusion 132 can respectively press the corresponding second protrusion 122.

The supporting portion 124 is configured to support the casing 130. That is, when the casing 130 slides between the slide rails 120, the casing 130 slides on the supporting portion 124.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B in FIG. 1, in which the first protruding portion 131 presses against the first bump 121 and the second protruding portion 132 presses against the second bump 122. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the second bump 122 is located at the corresponding connection portion 123, and the first bump 121 is also located at the corresponding connection portion 123.

Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a partial enlarged view illustrating the region M in FIG. 4. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the second bump 122 of the slide rail 120 includes a first pressing surface 122 a, the first pressing surface 122 a faces at least part of the corresponding supporting portion 124, and the first pressing surface 122 a The pressing surface 122 a is inclined at an angle θ with respect to the receiving portion 124. In contrast, the second protruding portion 132 of the casing 130 includes a second pressing surface 132a, and the second pressing surface 132a and the first pressing surface 122a are parallel to each other.

When the cabinet 130 slides into the chamber C of the cabinet 110 and the second pressing surface 132a presses against the first pressing surface 122a, the second protrusion 122 does not contact the second protruding portion 132. Therefore, the second No frictional force is generated between the protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 132 to increase the sliding resistance of the cabinet 130 relative to the cabinet 110 until the second pressing surface 132a of the second protrusion 132 presses against the second protrusion 122 When the first pressing surface 122a is formed, the casing 130 will not continue to slide into the chamber C of the cabinet 110, and because the casing 130 is supported on the supporting portion 124 of the slide rail 120, the second The second pressing surface 132a of the protruding portion 132 presses the first pressing surface 122a of the second bump 122. Therefore, the relative position of the cabinet 130 and the cabinet 110 in the second direction D2 can be fixed and exchanged. The structural strength of the machine tool 100 is effectively increased.

In addition, because the above-mentioned method of fixing the relative position of the cabinet 130 and the cabinet 110 in the second direction D2 is simply performed by the second pressing surface 132a of the second protruding portion 132 and the second projection 122 The first pressing surfaces 122 a are pressed against each other. Therefore, the industry can effectively increase the structural strength of the exchanger table 100 at a low cost.

In practical applications, the angle θ of the first pressing surface 122a inclined with respect to the supporting portion 124 ranges from 0 degrees to 5 degrees, but the invention is not limited thereto.

When the first protruding portion 131 of the cabinet 130 is pressed against the first protrusion 121 of the slide rail 120, the cabinet 130 will not continue to slide into the chamber C of the cabinet 110.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the guide groove G is closer to the receiving portion 124 in the second direction D2 than the corresponding second bump 122. In other words, when the casing 130 slides on the slide rail 120 in the first direction D1, and the first protrusion 131 of the casing 130 passes the second protrusion 122 of the slide rail 120, the first projection of the casing 130 The protruding portion 131 does not interfere with the second protrusion 122 of the slide rail 120, so that the first protruding portion 131 of the cabinet 130 can smoothly slide into the guide groove G and press the first protrusion 121. .

In summary, the technical solution disclosed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention has at least the following advantages:

(1) Since the casing is supported on the supporting portion of the slide rail, and the second pressing surface of the second protruding portion presses against the first pressing surface of the second projection, the casing and the cabinet The relative position in the second direction can be fixed, and the structural strength of the exchanger machine can be effectively increased.

(2) Because the relative position of the cabinet and the cabinet in the second direction is fixed, it is simply by mutual interaction between the second pressing surface of the second protruding portion and the first pressing surface of the second projection. Resistance, therefore, the industry can effectively increase the structural strength of the exchanger machine at a low cost.
