Claim:
A latching mechanism, configured to be disposed on a main body of an electronic device to fix a removable member of the electronic device to the main body in a joining position, comprising: a rod; a first latching member, disposed on a side of the rod; a second latching member, connected to the rod; a first elastic member, fixed to the main body and connected to the first latching member; a second elastic member, fixed to the main body and connected to the second latching member; and a rotary member, pivotally connected to the main body and disposed between the rod and the first latching member; arranged such that when the removable member is moved towards the rod and contacts the first and second latching members, the first and second latching members are pushed by the removable member to move along a first direction and a second direction respectively, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction; when the removable member is moved further towards the rod into the joining position, the first and second latching members are forced by the first and second elastic members to move along the second and first directions, respectively, such that the first and second latching members join with the removable member; and when the removable member is in the joining position and the rod is pushed by an external force along the second direction, the rod drives the second latching member to move along the second direction, and the rod drives the rotary member to force the first latching member to move along the first direction, such that the first and second latching members are separated from each other and the removable member is released.
