[0035] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the specification and claims of the present application refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.

[0036] The present application discloses a server PCIE fixing device, please refer to Figures 1-6The Riser module support 1, the PCIE card support 3 and the card pressing fixing part, the PCIE card support 3 is used for fixing the PCIE card 100, the card pressing fixing part is in the vertical state and is pivoted to one side of the Riser module support 1 in the width direction and can be elastically moved up and down relative to the Riser module support 1. The Riser module support 1 is provided with a clamping part 1211, the card pressing fixing part is provided with a clamping hole 22 (the shape of the clamping hole 22 can be determined according to actual needs, preferably a circular hole or a square hole) matched with the clamping part 1211, and the PCIE card support 3 is provided with a clamping slot 321 for the clamping part 1211 to pass through. When fixing, the card pressing fixing part is rotated inwardly to make the clamping part 1211 clamped with the clamping hole 22 to constitute the limiting fixing of the PCIE card 100, and when releasing the fixing, the card pressing fixing part is moved upwardly to make the clamping part 1211 disengaged from the clamping hole 22 to release the limiting fixing of the PCIE card 100.

[0037] Figure 1 To release the limiting fixed state of the PCIE card 100, Figure 2 To the limiting fixed state of the PCIE card 100, from Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be known that the releasing and fixing of the PCIE card 100 from the fixed state or from the fixed state to the releasing state do not need to use a screw or a screwdriver and the like, and the use is convenient. When the fixing is completed, the axis of the clamping part 1211 is dislocated with the axis of the clamping hole 22, so that the clamping part 1211 will not be disengaged from the clamping hole 22 by directly pulling the card pressing fixing part outwardly, thereby improving the stability of the limiting fixing and the structure design is ingenious. In addition, the card pressing fixing part is arranged in the vertical state along the Riser module support 1, so that the card pressing fixing part can be made very thin and the space occupied in the width direction of the Riser module support 1 is small.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The Riser module support 1 comprises a first connecting plate 11 and a second connecting plate 12 connected with each other, when the PCIE card 100 is installed in the Riser module support 1, the length direction of the first connecting plate 11 corresponds to the length direction of the PCIE card 100, and the length direction of the second connecting plate 12 corresponds to the width direction of the PCIE card 100; an end face of an end of the second connecting plate 12 away from the first connecting plate 11 is used as a fixing panel 121, the card pressing fixing part is pivoted to the side face of the fixing panel 121, and the fixing panel 121 is provided with the clamping part 1211.

[0039] By directly using part of the area of the Riser module support 1 as the fixing panel 12111, it is not necessary to design additionally, the material is saved, and the cost is saved.

[0040] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the clamping piece 1211 is in a conical shape, and the middle part of the clamping piece 1211 is provided with a clamping opening 12111, and the front end of the clamping piece 1211 is provided with a chamfered surface 12112. When fixed, the designed chamfered surface 12112 can ensure that the clamping piece 1211 is smoothly clamped into the clamping hole 22 of the clamping fixed plate 2, and after being fixed, the clamping opening 12111 of the clamping piece 1211 will be clamped to the edge of the clamping hole 22, at this time, the axis of the clamping piece 1211 and the axis of the clamping hole 22 are misaligned, so that the clamping piece 1211 will not be separated from the clamping hole 22 when directly pulling the clamping fixed piece outward, thereby improving the stability of the limiting and fixing, and the structure design is ingenious.

[0041] In some embodiments, the clamping piece 1211 is directly fixed on the fixed panel 121, that is, it is not movable relative to the fixed panel 121. Of course, a hole can also be opened on the fixed panel 121, and the clamping piece 1211 is clamped in the opened hole, at this time, the structure clamping piece 1211 can rotate relative to the fixed panel 121, so that when the clamping fixed plate is fixed, an external force is applied to the clamping fixed plate, the clamping piece 1211 will rotate, thereby making it easier to clamp into the clamping hole 22.

[0042] Of course, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate processing, a die casting plate can be designed, and the clamping piece 1211 is designed on the die casting plate, and when installed, the die casting plate is installed and fixed on the rear side of the fixed panel 121, and the fixed panel 121 is designed for the through hole through which the die casting passes.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the side edge of the fixed panel 121 is provided with two first roll circles 1212, the two first roll circles 1212 are arranged in an upper and lower interval, the side edge of the clamping fixed piece is provided with a second roll circle 21, the second roll circle 21 is located between the two first roll circles 1212, and the two first roll circles 1212 and the second roll circle 21 are connected through the provided latch 6; The spring 4 is sleeved on the latch 6, and the spring 4 is located between the upper first roll circle 1212 and the second roll circle 21. When fixed, the spring 4 will have a downward elastic force at this time to ensure that the clamping fixed plate 2 does not move upward, thereby avoiding that the clamping piece 1211 is separated from the clamping hole 22.

[0044] Preferably, the latch 6 can be a pin. The pin can be directly purchased on the market without additional processing, thereby saving mold cost.

[0045] In some embodiments, the latch 6 is also sleeved with a gasket 5, and the gasket 5 is located at both ends of the spring 4. The function of increasing the gasket 5 is to prevent the spring 4 from falling into the gap between the latch 6 and the roll circle due to the installation gap, thereby causing functional defects.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 ,4 As shown, the inner side of the pressing block fixing member is provided with an elastic member 23 protruding inward. Specifically, the structure of the elastic member 23 is in the shape of a curved elastic arm, one end of which is fixedly connected with the pressing block fixing member, and the other end is in a suspended state. Due to the design of the elastic member 23, when it is necessary to release the fixing, only a certain distance of the pressing block fixing member needs to be moved upward, and under the elastic force of the elastic member 23, the pressing block fixing member will automatically pop out outward, and the process of releasing the fixing does not waste unnecessary time, thereby improving the efficiency.

[0047] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The fixing panel 121 is provided with a limiting portion 1213 for limiting the pressing block fixing member between the two first roll circles 1212. When releasing the fixing, the pressing block fixing plate 2 is slid upward by hand until it touches the limiting portion 1213, at which time the hand stops applying upward force. Because the pressing block fixing plate 2 has an elastic member 23, the elastic member 23 has an outward elastic force, and when the hand stops applying force, the force generated by the elastic member 23 will instantaneously pop the pressing block fixing plate 2 outward. The benefit of designing the limiting portion 1213 is that when releasing the fixing operation, the distance of pushing the pressing block fixing plate 2 upward is limited, avoiding the distance of pushing the pressing block fixing plate 2 upward being too large to cause the spring 4 to be excessively compressed and lose elasticity, thereby having a certain protective effect on the spring 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The PCIE card support 3 includes a fixed portion 31 and a matching portion 32; the fixed portion 31 is fixed on one side of the PCIE card 100 in the width direction, and the matching portion 32 is connected perpendicularly with the fixed portion 31, the matching portion 32 is located outside the fixing panel 121 and keeps parallel with the fixing panel 121, and the matching portion 32 is provided with a card slot 321, the opening direction of the card slot 321 is upward. Of course, in other embodiments, the card slot 321 can be replaced by a hole, but the card slot 321 is preferred, and the form of the card slot 321 is more convenient for disassembly and assembly. After being fixed, the matching portion 32 is equivalent to being clamped between the fixing panel 121 and the pressing block fixing plate, at which time the matching portion 32 is limited, and it is equivalent to that the PCIE card 100 is also limited (because the matching portion 32 is connected perpendicularly with the fixed portion 31, and the fixed portion 31 is fixed on one side of the PCIE card 100 in the width direction).

[0049] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
