Abstract
A panel member locking device includes a bracket affixed to a frame shell, a driving rod vertically movably set in the bracket, a locking rod connected to the driving rod and vertically movable by the driving rod into a through hole at a first panel member and an oblong locating hole at a second panel member and rotatable by the driving rod between a locking position to lock the first and second panel members to the frame shell and an unlocking position to unlock the first and second panel members from the frame shell, a guide tube axially movably set in the bracket to guide the driving rod to move axially and rotate relative to the bracket, a spring member to impart an upward pressure to the guide tube, and a constraint member coupled between the driving rod and the bracket to limit the rotation angle of the driving rod.
