1. A host casing having a quick release rotating shaft structure, comprising:
a casing body, having an opening, one side of the opening provided with a first shaft opening;
an upper cover, provided with a second shaft opening on a position corresponding to the one side; and
a rotating shaft, having a head and an insert portion connected to the head, the insert portion inserted into the first shaft opening and the second shaft opening so as to connect the casing body and the upper cover, wherein a periphery of a cross section of the head is non-equidistant to an axial center of the rotating shaft and has a largest distance and a smallest distance;
wherein the upper cover is provided with a limiting portion on a position corresponding to the head, and a distance of the limiting portion to the axial center of the rotating shaft is between the largest distance and the shortest distance,
wherein the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the first shaft opening and the second shaft opening,
wherein when the rotating shaft is at a first angle relative to the upper cover, the head portion and the limiting portion are in mutual interference in a direction of an axis of the rotating shaft, the limiting portion limits the rotating shaft from departing from the first shaft opening and the second shaft opening along the direction of the axis of the rotating shaft, so as to maintain the pivotal connection between the casing body and the upper cover, and
wherein when the rotating shaft is at a second angle relative to the upper cover, the head and the limiting portion are not in mutual interference in the direction of the axis of the rotating shaft, so that the rotating shaft is able to depart from the first shaft opening and the second shaft opening along the direction of the axis of the rotating shaft to release the pivotal connection between the casing body and the upper cover.
