Title: Drawable module of a servo

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001] 1. Field of the Invention  
       [0002] The present invention is related to a servo, and more particularly to a drawable module of a servo. By means of the drawable module of the servo, the manufacturers of servo housing can simplify the manufacturing procedure. In addition, the assemblers of the servo can freely mobilely assemble the servo as necessary.  
       [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art  
       [0004] Computer network has been more and more widely used. This necessitates a great number of servos. All websites need servos. The main boards are manufactured by main board manufacturers, while the servo housings are manufactured by servo housing manufacturers. The servo assemblers purchase servo housings from different servo housing manufacturers and purchase main boards from different main board manufacturers and then assemble the housings and main boards into servo products according to their own system design. Different servo main board manufacturers respectively have specific designs so that the servo housing manufacturers must cooperate with the servo main board manufacturers. This results in great challenge and trouble to the servo housing manufacturers. The main boards installed in the servos can be divided into wide board type and standard board type. The peripheral equipments such as hard disc drive, compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM), etc. can be divided into drawable type and in-built type. In order to meet the requirements of different modes of the main boards or peripheral equipments, the servo housing manufacturers must manufacture at least four kinds of housings for four different modes. This causes trouble to the servo housing manufacturers and increases the cost and space for the spare materials. This also causes trouble to the servo assemblers. The servo assemblers always cost much time to wait for the materials. The delivery time is often delayed to lead to trouble in the assignment in production line.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0005] It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a drawable module of a servo. By means of the drawable module, different specifications of peripheral equipments of the servo can be assembled. The manufacturers of servo housing can simplify the manufacturing procedure and lower the cost. In addition, the assemblers of the servo can save the great cost and space for the spare materials and freely mobilely assemble the servo according to different modes to meet the requirements of purchasers.  
       [0006] According to the above object, the drawable module of the servo includes a holder and a module seat. The front end of the holder is formed with an opening. The front section of the holder is provided with drawing rails connecting with the opening. The module seat is snugly and detachably passed through the opening of the holder and slidably fitted in the drawing rails of the holder. Different peripheral equipments of the servo can be mounted on the module seat. By means of the drawable module seat, the peripheral equipments of the servo can be selected as necessary.  
       [0007] The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
     [0012] Please refer to FIGS.  1  to  4 . The drawable module of the servo of the present invention includes a holder  11  and a module seat  12 . The front end of the holder  11  is formed with an opening  13 . The front section of the holder  11  is provided with drawing rails  14  connecting with the opening  13 . The module seat  12  is snugly and detachably passed through the opening  13  of the holder  11  and slidably fitted in the drawing rails  14  of the holder  11 . Different peripheral equipments  15  of the servo, such as drawable hard disc drive or in-built hard disc drive can be mounted on the module seat  12 . By means of the drawable module seat  12 , different peripheral equipments  15  of the servo can be selected as necessary. Screws  16  are upward passed through the holder  11  to lock the module seat  12  thereon.  
     [0013] In practice, the manufacturers of servo housing only need to manufacture two kinds of module seats  12  for mounting different peripheral equipments  15  of the servo, such as drawable hard disc drive or in-built hard disc drive. Then, a necessary specification of holder  11  is selected, for example, wide board type and standard board type. The screws  16  are upward passed through the holder  11  to lock the module seat  12  thereon. Two or more kinds of peripheral equipments  15  of the servo can be co-used with two or more types of holders  11  to form at least four kinds of different assemblies. Accordingly, the manufacturers of servo housing can simplify the manufacturing procedure and lower the cost. In addition, the assemblers of the servo can save great cost and space for the spare materials. The modes can be freely mobilely changed as necessary to meet different requirements of purchasers.  
     [0014] According to the above arrangement, the drawable module of the servo of the present invention has the advantages as follows:  
     [0015] By means of the drawable module of the servo, different specifications of peripheral equipments of the servo can be assembled. The manufacturers of servo housing can simplify the manufacturing procedure and lower the cost. In addition, the assemblers of the servo can save great cost and space for the spare materials. Also, the modes can be freely mobilely changed as necessary to meet different requirements of purchasers.  
     [0016] The above embodiment is only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiment can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
