Problems solved by technology

[0003] In detail, generally, the connector on the expansion card is plugged into the hard disk backplane of the server. In this fixing method, the expansion card is plugged into the hard disk backplane in the air and is not stable, and it is easy to be damaged due to collision or unexpected accident. Falling off or damage by external force
In addition, the user needs to insert and remove the expansion card with bare hands, which is laborious
Furthermore, some expansion cards are designed to be plugged into the hard disk backplane at the same time by means of multiple connectors. Therefore, when installing the expansion card, it is easy for the user to insert all the connectors in place due to the warping of the expansion card.

Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 It is a perspective view of an expansion card module according to an embodiment of the present invention. figure 2 for figure 1 An exploded view of some components of the expansion card module. image 3 for figure 1 The perspective view of the expansion card fixing structure in another perspective. Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , the expansion card module 100 of this embodiment is suitable for a server 50 . The expansion card module 100 includes at least one expansion card fixing structure 110 (two are shown) and at least one expansion card 120 (two are shown). The expansion card fixing structure 110 includes a bracket 112 , a carrier 114 and a handle 116 . The bracket 112 is fixed on the hard disk chassis 52 of the server 50 and has a first protrusion 112a. The bearing part 114 is slidably disposed on the bracket 112 along the sliding direction D, and the handle 116 is pivotally connected to the supporting part 114 along the rotation axis A per...

Abstract

The invention discloses an expansion card module and an expansion card fixing structure. The expansion card module is applied to a server and comprises at least one expansion card fixing structure and at least one expansion card. The expansion card fixing structure comprises a support, a bearing piece and a handle. The support is fixed on the server and is provided with a first protruding column. The bearing piece is arranged on the support in a sliding mode. The handle is connected to the bearing piece in a pivoted mode. The expansion card is suitable for being fixed on the bearing piece. When the handle rotates and pushes against the first protruding column, the handle and the bearing piece slide relative to the support to drive the expansion card to be inserted into the server. The expansion card module and the expansion card fixing structure enable the expansion card to be fixed more stably, can reduce the probability that the expansion card comes off or is damaged due to collisions or unexpected external force, can prevent the expansion card from warping so as to enable all connectors are inserted in place smoothly, and further can enable a user to plug and pull the expansion card in a labor-saving mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an expansion card module and an expansion card fixing structure, in particular to an expansion card module and an expansion card fixing structure suitable for a server. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the development of computer servers has gradually developed from traditional upright servers that are large and space-consuming to placing several 1U (U refers to the thickness of rack-mounted servers in the server field, 1U=4.445cm) height hosts. The rack server (Rack Server) with unified management of the cabinet has evolved to the current blade server (Blade Server) with thin shape, small footprint, low power consumption and easy management. As the size of servers is getting smaller and more functions are required, many servers use expansion cards to save space and expand their functions. [0003] In detail, generally, the connector on the expansion card is plugged into the hard disk backplane of the server. In ...
