Benefits of technology

Enables convenient assembly and disassembly of the mainboard without screws, reducing the time required for locking and unlocking, and eliminating the need for disassembling tools.

Problems solved by technology

However, as the current computer components can be upgraded, when a user wants to upgrade the computer components, the screws P41 for locking the above three boards have to be removed, which makes the upgrading process very inconvenient.
Therefore, the mainboard P10, back board P20, and guard board P30 are joined with the screws P41 by means of locking, thus causing inconvenience as the screws P41 have to be removed first, and meanwhile, much time is needed for fastening the screws P41.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Please refer to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the fixing structure for computer mainboard before being joined according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the fixing structure for computer mainboard after being joined according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, is a fixing structure 1 for computer mainboard is used to fix and support a computer mainboard. The fixing structure 1 for computer mainboard comprises a mainboard 10, a guard board 20, a back board 30 and at least one fixing pillar 40. The mainboard 10 has at least one snap hole 11 and at least one fixing hole 12. The guard board 20 is stacked on the mainboard 10, and has at least one snap pillar 21 at a position corresponding to the snap hole 11. The snap pillar 21 has a stepped retaining portion 211 and a clamping portion 212 formed by the extension of the retaining portion 211. The transverse diameter of the ...

Abstract

A fixing structure for computer mainboard is provided. The mainboard is clamped between a guard board and a back board. Through the appropriate arrangement of a snap pillar of the guard board and a gourd-shaped hole of the back board, after the snap pillar penetrates the mainboard and the gourd-shaped hole, the mainboard, the guard board and the back board are snapped by moving the back board properly. Furthermore, in the snap state, a fixing pillar penetrates the mainboard and the back board, so as to fasten the two boards. Thus, the step of locking by screws in the conventional art is simplified, and the assembly or disassembly can be fulfilled without any assembling / disassembling tools.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a fixing structure for computer mainboard, and more particularly, to a fixing structure for computer mainboard that can fix the mainboard without removing the screws and is convenient in use.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]The computer industry develops at an amazing speed. According to statistics, the speed of the CPU in a computer is doubled every 1.5 years. Now, comparing the CPU 8088 in the early times with the P4 at present, the speed is raised several hundred times, and several types of the fixing module of the CPU have also been developed. At first, the CPU was directly fixed on the mainboard, then the CPU was plugged into a socket (Socket 7, Slot 1) by pins, and at present, the P4 CPU is soldered on a socket by the surface mounting technology (SMT). As the CPU generates a lot of heat in operation, a good heat sink has to be used to dissipate heat, thus protecting the CPU from breakdowns or...
