Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of assembly structure equipment, and particularly relates to an electronic device and its assembly structure. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are some servers that may be equipped with both an air-cooled power supply and an immersion liquid-cooled dedicated power supply in the same chassis. This can also improve the versatility of the chassis. However, since the volume of the liquid-cooled power supply is larger than that of the air-cooled power supply, in order to meet the above situation, at least the space required for the connection between the liquid-cooled power supply and the motherboard needs to be reserved in the chassis, which makes the size of the chassis larger. When using an air-cooled power supply, there is more empty space in the chassis, which is likely to cause waste of cooling liquid. When the chassis is relatively small (such as a 1U immersion liquid-cooled assembly structure), it is not convenient to install a liquid-cooled power supply due to the limited internal space of the chassis.

[0019] Optionally, in the above assembly structure, a limiting structure is further provided on one side of the second filling block facing the motherboard, and the limiting structure is used to limit the displacement of the first adapter board bracket in a first direction, and the first direction is the direction for disconnecting the first adapter board from the motherboard.

[0020] Optionally, in the above assembly structure, it further includes:

[0021] The second adapter board is disposed in the fourth position area within the chassis, and is electrically connected to the first adapter board and the first power supply, and is configured to establish a power path between the first power supply and the first adapter board.

[0044] The present application discloses an assembly structure, which reduces the layout limitation of the internal space of the chassis. The present application also provides an electronic device having the above assembly structure.

[0045] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0046] Such as Figures 1 - 13As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides an assembly structure for realizing the assembly connection between a power supply and a motherboard 400 in a chassis 100. The assembly structure includes a first power supply bracket 120 and a support structure. The first power supply bracket 120 is arranged in a first position area in the chassis 100 for assembling a first power supply 200, and the first power supply 200 is used to supply power to the motherboard 400; the support structure is arranged in a second position area in the chassis 100 for assembling a first adapter board 220, and the first adapter board 220 is used to realize the electrical connection between the first power supply 200 and the motherboard 400, so that the motherboard 400 can receive the power supply from the first power supply 200. Wherein, at least one connection component is correspondingly arranged on the first adapter board 220 and the support structure, and the first adapter board 220 and the support structure can have different relative position relationships, so that the first adapter board 220 and the support structure have a connected state and a detachable state through the connection component.

[0047] For the assembly structure provided by the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the first power supply bracket 120 and the support structure, the first power supply bracket 120 can assemble the first power supply 200 in the first position area in the chassis 100, and the support structure can assemble the first adapter board 220 in the second position area in the chassis 100. The first power supply 200 is indirectly connected to the motherboard 400 through the first adapter board 220, avoiding the direct plugging operation between the first power supply 200 and the motherboard 400, and can reduce the limitation of the layout position of the first power supply 200 in the chassis 100. Moreover, at least one connection component is correspondingly arranged on the first adapter board 220 and the support structure, and the first adapter board 220 and the support structure can have different relative position relationships, so that the first adapter board 220 and the support structure have a connected state and a detachable state through the connection component. Therefore, when using the first power supply 200, the first adapter board 220 and the support structure are connected through the connection component, that is, the first adapter board 220 and the support structure are in a connected state through the connection component, ensuring that the first adapter board 220 is assembled in the second position area in the chassis 100 for the convenience of connecting the first adapter board 220 to the motherboard 400. And when the first power supply 200 is not used, the first adapter board 220 and the support structure are in a detachable state, so that the second position area in the chassis 100 is vacated for the convenience of installing other power supplies. The above assembly structure enables the first position area in the chassis 100 to only need to meet the requirement that the first power supply bracket 120 can complete the assembly of the first power supply 200, without considering the relative position relationship between the first power supply 200 and the motherboard 400. Therefore, the flexibility of arranging the first power supply 200 in the chassis 100 is improved, and the layout limitation of the internal space of the chassis 100 on the first power supply 200 is reduced.

[0048] Specifically, in the first embodiment, the support structure includes a first adapter bracket 230 movably disposed in the second position area. The first adapter bracket 230 has at least one first connection structure, and the first adapter plate 220 is provided with a second connection structure corresponding to the first connection structure. Specifically, when the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 have a first relative position relationship, the first connection structure and the second connection structure are in a fixed state, so that the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 are in a connected state; when the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 have a second relative position relationship, the first connection structure and the second connection structure are in an active state, so that the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 are in a detachable state. Through the above settings, the support structure includes the first adapter bracket 230. By the state (fixed state or active state) of the first connection structure of the first adapter bracket 230 and the second connection structure of the first adapter plate 220, different states (connected state or detachable state) between the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 can be realized.

[0049] The first adapter bracket 230 is movably disposed in the second position area, that is, the first adapter bracket 230 can be fixedly disposed in the second position area or can be detached from the second position area. Therefore, when the first connection structure of the first adapter bracket 230 and the second connection structure of the first adapter plate 220 are in a fixed state, the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 are in a connected state. Combining with the first adapter bracket 230 being disposed in the second position area, the operation of assembling the first adapter plate 220 in the second position area can be realized. When the first connection structure of the first adapter bracket 230 and the second connection structure of the first adapter plate 220 are in an active state, the first adapter plate 220 and the first adapter bracket 230 can be separated from the second position area, and the first adapter plate 220 can be in a detachable state from the second position area.

[0050] The above-mentioned first adapter board 220 is arranged in the second position area through the first adapter board bracket 230. By arranging the first adapter board bracket 230, too many connecting components are avoided from being arranged on the first adapter board 220. Moreover, by being arranged in the second position area through the first adapter board bracket 230, the size limitation on the first adapter board 220 is reduced. Only the first adapter board bracket 230 needs to meet the size requirements for being arranged in the second position area, and the first adapter board 220 can be connected to the first adapter board bracket 230 through the first connection structure of the first adapter board bracket 230 and the second connection structure of the first adapter board 220, as long as the structural requirements for the first adapter board 220 to be indirectly arranged in the second position area for convenient connection (insertion) with the main board 400 are met, which facilitates the structural arrangement. In this embodiment, the first adapter board 220 can use standard parts without separate design and processing.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first connection structure of the first adapter board bracket 230 includes a first positioning component 231 and a second positioning component, and the second connection structure of the first adapter board 220 includes a first mating component 221 and a second mating component.

[0052] Among them, the first positioning component 231 is in mating connection with the first mating component 221, and the second positioning component is in mating connection with the second mating component. Of course, only the first positioning component 231 and the first mating component 221 can also be provided, that is, the first connection structure is the first positioning component 231, and the second connection structure is the first mating component 221. Or only the second positioning component and the second mating component are provided.

[0053] Specifically, the first positioning component 231 is a positioning convex part (such as a mushroom head), which includes a head and a connecting part connecting the head to the first adapter board bracket 230, and the size of the head is larger than that of the connecting part; the first mating component 221 is a connection hole that is in positioning cooperation with the first positioning component 231. The connection hole has a large-diameter part and a small-diameter part, and the large-diameter part and the small-diameter part are in communication with each other. The head of the positioning convex part can pass through the connection hole through the large-diameter part, and the connecting part is made to correspond to the hole wall of the connection hole. Through the relative movement of the first adapter board bracket 230 and the first adapter board 220, the connecting part is moved to the small-diameter part of the connection hole, and the head of the positioning convex part cannot pass through the small-diameter part, so as to complete the connection between the first positioning component 231 and the first mating component 221. Preferably, the number of the above-mentioned first positioning component 231 and the first mating component 221 can be multiple and arranged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0054] Moreover, the second positioning component of the first adapter plate bracket 230 is a hand-tightening screw 222 and a threaded hole matching therewith, and the second mating component of the first adapter plate 220 is a through hole capable of sleeving on the stud of the hand-tightening screw 222. The stud of the hand-tightening screw 222 passes through the through hole of the first adapter plate 220 and mates with the threaded hole of the first adapter plate bracket 230, realizing the connection between the second positioning component and the second mating component.

[0055] Through the above settings, the first connection structure of the first adapter plate bracket 230 and the second connection structure of the first adapter plate 220 do not require tool operation during the connection process, and the disassembly and assembly of the first connection structure of the first adapter plate bracket 230 and the second connection structure of the first adapter plate 220 can be quickly realized, thereby realizing the relative separation and assembly of the first adapter plate bracket 230 and the first adapter plate 220.

[0056] Specifically, the first adapter plate bracket 230 and the first adapter plate 220 can also be connected in a concave-convex fit manner.

[0057] The first adapter plate bracket 230 is movably arranged in the second position area, that is, the first adapter plate bracket 230 is detachably arranged in the second position area. The first adapter plate bracket 230 is detachably arranged in the second position area through a press riveting structure 233.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the press riveting structure 233 includes a press riveting main body, a press riveting pin and a press riveting driving part. Among them, the press riveting main body is connected to the first adapter plate bracket 230; the press riveting pin can expand and contract relative to the press riveting main body; the press riveting driving part can control the press riveting pin to switch between a first position and a second position relative to the press riveting main body;

[0059] Among them, in the first position, the press riveting pin extends relative to the press riveting main body and is inserted into a positioning hole 313 on the entity structure in the second position area of the box; in the second position, the press riveting pin contracts relative to the press riveting main body and separates from the entity structure in the second position area of the box. By manually adjusting the press riveting driving part, the press riveting pin can be switched between the first position and the second position relative to the press riveting main body without tool operation, and the first adapter plate bracket 230 can be conveniently arranged movably in the second position area.

[0060] Of course, the first adapter board 220 can also be directly disposed in the second position area. In the second embodiment, the support structure can be a connecting component directly disposed in the second position area inside the box. For example, the connecting component is a hand-tightening screw 222 and a screw hole. Through holes are provided on the first adapter board 220. The stud of the hand-tightening screw 222 passes through the through holes of the first adapter board 220 and is connected to the screw hole in the second position area, so as to realize that the first adapter board 220 is disposed in the second position area. The connecting component can also be set to other structures, such as the above-mentioned positioning protrusion (such as a mushroom head). Connecting holes are directly provided on the first adapter board 220. The connecting holes have a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion, and the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion communicate with each other. The connecting component can also be set to other connection structures, such as a snap structure, a slot structure or a positioning protrusion, etc. It only needs to realize that the first adapter board 220 is directly disposed in the second position area.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first power supply bracket 120 is preferably a sheet metal bent part. Both ends of the sheet metal bent part are connected to the chassis 100 by means of bolts, screws or welding. The inner wall of the first power supply bracket 120 and the surface of the chassis 100 facing the first power supply bracket 120 form a structure for assembling the first power supply 200, so as to facilitate the assembly of the first power supply 200 in the first position area inside the chassis 100 through the first power supply bracket 120.

[0062] Of course, the first power supply bracket 120 can also be other structures, such as a snap structure, a slot structure or other components capable of connecting the chassis 100 and the first power supply 200, which will not be specifically described herein and are all within the protection scope.

[0063] The assembly structure provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a second power supply bracket 130. The second power supply bracket 130 is disposed in the third position area inside the chassis 100 for assembling the second power supply 300. The second power supply 300 is used to supply power to the motherboard 400. The third position area is an area where the second position area extends away from the motherboard 400. Through the above settings, the second power supply 300 located in the second position area can be directly plugged and connected to the motherboard 400.

[0064] Among them, the plug-in interface where the motherboard 400 is plugged into the second power supply 300 can be the plug-in interface where the motherboard 400 is plugged into the first adapter board 220. That is, the motherboard 400 has a plug-in interface, and this plug-in interface can be plugged into the plug-in part of the second power supply 300 or the plug-in part of the first adapter board 220. Through the above settings, the plug-in interfaces provided on the motherboard 400 are reduced as much as possible, the versatility of the plug-in interfaces on the motherboard 400 is improved, and the structure is simplified.

[0065] Similarly, the second power supply bracket 130 in this embodiment is preferably a sheet metal bent part. Both ends of the sheet metal bent part are connected to the chassis 100 by means of bolts, screws or welding. The inner wall of the second power supply bracket 130 and the surface of the chassis 100 facing the second power supply bracket 130 form a structure for assembling the second power supply 300, so as to facilitate assembling the second power supply 300 in the third position area inside the chassis 100.

[0066] It can be understood that since the second power supply 300 is assembled in the third position area, and the third position area is the area where the second position area extends away from the main board 400. During the assembling operation, the plug-in part of the second power supply 300 assembled in the third position area is plugged and matched with the plug-in interface of the main board 400.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the support structure can be a connecting component directly arranged in the second position area inside the box. Among them, the connecting component can directly arrange the first adapter board 220 in the second position area. And preferably, the connecting component can also directly arrange the part of the second power supply 300 located in the second position area in the second position area. Through the above settings, it is convenient to improve the positioning effect of the second power supply 300.

[0068] Specifically, the connecting component is a hand-tightening screw and a screw hole. Through holes are arranged on the part of the second power supply 300 located in the second position area. The stud of the hand-tightening screw passes through the through hole and is connected to the screw hole in the second position area, so as to realize that the part of the second power supply 300 located in the second position area is arranged in the second position area. The connecting component can also be set to other structures, such as the above-mentioned positioning protrusion part (such as a mushroom head). Connecting holes are directly arranged on the part of the second power supply 300 located in the second position area. The connecting holes have a large-diameter part and a small-diameter part, and the large-diameter part and the small-diameter part are communicated with each other. The connecting component can also be set to other connecting structures, such as a snap structure, a slot structure or a positioning protrusion, etc. It only needs to realize that the part of the second power supply 300 located in the second position area is directly arranged in the second position area.

[0069] The first power supply bracket 120 can also assemble the first filling block 250, and the second power supply bracket 130 can also assemble the second filling block 310. By assembling the filling blocks, it is convenient to fill the space inside the chassis 100, reduce the amount of coolant used, and reduce costs. Preferably, both the first filling block 250 and the second filling block 310 are made of bakelite. Of course, the first filling block 250 and the second filling block 310 can also be made of other materials, which are not limited here, as long as their design requirements are met.

[0070] Specifically, at least one surface of the first power supply bracket 120 is in contact with one surface of the first filling block 250; the contact surfaces of the first power supply bracket 120 and the first filling block 250 are in concave-convex fit. That is, the first power supply bracket 120 has an opening structure, and the first filling block 250 has a first positioning protrusion structure. The side surface of the first positioning protrusion structure is in positioning contact with the inner wall of the opening structure, achieving the positioning effect of assembling the first filling block 250 on the first power supply bracket 120.

[0071] Specifically, at least one surface of the second power supply bracket 130 is in contact with one surface of the second filling block 310; the contact surfaces of the second power supply bracket 130 and the second filling block 310 are in concave-convex fit. That is, the second power supply bracket 130 has an opening structure, and the second filling block 310 has a second positioning protrusion structure 316. The side surface of the second positioning protrusion structure 316 is in positioning contact with the inner wall of the opening structure, achieving the positioning effect of assembling the second filling block 310 on the second power supply bracket 130.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first filling block 250 and the first power supply bracket 120 are fixed by screws. That is, the first filling block 250 has a threaded hole that cooperates with the screw. Similarly, the second filling block 310 and the second power supply bracket 130 are fixed by screws. That is, the second filling block 310 has a second threaded hole 315 that cooperates with the screw.

[0073] Among them, the number of threaded holes of the first filling block 250 and the second filling block 310 can be multiple. The number and distribution of the threaded holes are determined according to actual requirements and are not specifically limited here. Taking the second filling block 310 as an example, it has three threaded holes. In order to cooperate with the installation of the screws, both the first power supply bracket 120 and the second power supply bracket 130 have openings for the screws to pass through. In order to improve the surface flatness, the openings on the first power supply bracket 120 and the second power supply bracket 130 are preferably countersunk holes. Further, in order to avoid the influence of processing errors on the installation, the openings on the first power supply bracket 120 and the second power supply bracket 130 are preferably waist-shaped holes.

[0074] When the first power supply bracket 120 assembles the first power supply 200, the second power supply bracket 130 is assembled with the second filling block 310. As Figure 7 shown, in one embodiment, the first power supply 200 supplies power to the main board 400. Therefore, the first power supply bracket 120 assembles the first power supply 200, and the first adapter board 220 is arranged in the second position area. At this time, the second power supply bracket 130 does not need to assemble the second power supply 300. Therefore, when the second power supply bracket 130 assembles the second filling block 310, it ensures that the space where the second power supply bracket 130 is located is occupied by the second filling block 310.

[0075] When the first power supply bracket 120 is assembled with the first filling block 250, the second power supply bracket 130 is assembled with the second power supply 300. As Figure 8 shown, in another embodiment, the second power supply 300 supplies power to the main board 400. Therefore, the first power supply 200 and the first adapter board 220 may not be provided, and when the first power supply bracket 120 is assembled with the first filling block 250, it is ensured that the space where the first power supply bracket 120 is located is occupied by the first filling block 250.

[0076] As Figure 3 shown, a positioning structure is provided at one end of the second filling block 310 facing the main board 400, and a locking structure is provided on the first adapter board bracket 230 corresponding to the positioning structure. The locking structure and the positioning structure can be in a locked state and an unlocked state;

[0077] When the first adapter board 220 and the first adapter board bracket 230 have a first relative position relationship, the locking structure and the positioning structure are in a locked state;

[0078] When the first adapter board 220 and the first adapter board bracket 230 have a second relative position relationship, the locking structure and the positioning structure are in an unlocked state.

[0079] Among them, the positioning structure provided at one end of the second filling block 310 facing the main board 400 is a positioning hole 313, and the locking structure provided on the first adapter board bracket 230 corresponding to the positioning structure is a riveting structure 233. Specifically, the riveting structure 233 in this embodiment includes a riveting main body, a riveting pin and a riveting driving part. Among them, the riveting main body is connected to the first adapter board bracket 230; the riveting pin can stretch with the riveting main body; the riveting driving part can control the riveting pin to switch between a first position and a second position relative to the riveting main body.

[0080] Among them, in the first position, the riveting pin extends relative to the riveting main body and is inserted into the positioning hole 313 of the second filling block 310, and the locking structure and the positioning structure are in a locked state; in the second position, the riveting pin contracts relative to the riveting main body and is separated from the second filling block 310, and the locking structure and the positioning structure are in an unlocked state. By manually adjusting the riveting driving part, the riveting pin can be switched between the first position and the second position relative to the riveting main body, and no tool operation is required, and the first adapter board bracket 230 can be conveniently movably arranged in the second position area.

[0081] Furthermore, in the locked state, the first adapter board bracket 230 is fixedly connected to the second filling block 310; in the unlocked state, the first adapter board bracket 230 is movably connected to the second filling block 310.

[0082] On one side of the second filling block 310 facing the main board 400, a limiting structure 314 is further provided. The limiting structure 314 is used to limit the displacement of the first adapter board bracket 230 in the first direction, and the first direction is the direction for disconnecting the first adapter board 220 from the main board 400. As Figure 5 shown, the locking structure and the positioning structure are in the locked state. As Figure 6 shown, the locking structure and the positioning structure are in the unlocked state. Among them, when the locking structure and the positioning structure are in the unlocked state, the first adapter board 220 can move a certain distance in the first direction, and the first adapter board 220 is disconnected from the main board 400. In order to prevent the force applied to the first adapter board 220 during the disconnection operation between the first adapter board 220 and the main board 400 from being too large, resulting in the first adapter board 220 hitting other components, or causing the first adapter board 220 to travel too far away from the main board 400 and affecting the efficiency, the limiting structure 314 is used to limit the displacement of the first adapter board bracket 230 in the first direction.

[0083] In this embodiment, after the first adapter board 220 is disconnected from the main board 400 by a certain distance, one end of the first adapter board bracket 230 facing away from the main board 400 is in limit contact with the limiting structure 314, restricting the first adapter board 220 and the first adapter board bracket 230 from continuing to move away from the main board 400.

[0084] Further, the first adapter board bracket 230 has a handle portion 234 to facilitate manual clamping of the handle portion 234. Further, the handle portion 234 is located at one end of the first adapter board bracket 230 facing away from the main board 400.

[0085] As Figure 3 shown, taking the second filling block 310 as an example, the second filling block 310 has a second connecting plate 312 and a second filling block body 311. The second connecting plate 312 is located on the side of the second filling block body 311 facing the main board 400, and the positioning structure (positioning hole 313) of the second filling block 310 is located on the second connecting plate 312. And,

[0086] the limiting structure 314 is provided at the connection position between the second connecting plate 312 and the second filling block body 311. The first surface of the limiting structure 314 is connected to the second connecting plate 312, and the second surface of the limiting structure 314 is connected to the second filling block body 311. Among them, the first surface of the limiting structure 314 and its second surface are arranged at an angle, and this angle is the angle at the connection between the second connecting plate 312 and the second filling block body 311. Therefore, the limiting structure 314 can also play a strengthening role.

[0087] In the assembly structure provided by the embodiments of the present application, a second adapter plate 210 and a first cover plate 110 are further included. Among them, the second adapter plate 210 is disposed in the fourth position area within the chassis 100, and is electrically connected to the first adapter plate 220 and the first power supply 200, and is used to establish a power path between the first power supply 200 and the first adapter plate 220. The fourth position area is an extended area of the first position area in the second direction. The first cover plate 110 is rotatably connected to the first power supply bracket 120 and can cover the fourth position area. Specifically, the second adapter plate 210 is plugged into the first power supply 200, and the second adapter plate 210 is electrically connected to the first adapter plate 220 through a cable 240.

[0088] By providing the first cover plate 110, when the first cover plate 110 covers the fourth position area, it can protect the second adapter plate 210 below the first cover plate 110 and located in the fourth position area. Moreover, the outer surfaces of the second adapter plate 210 and the first cover plate 110 are located in the same plane, improving the overall flatness of the electronic device (assembly structure).

[0089] One end of the first cover plate 110 is hinged to the first power supply bracket 120, and the other end of the first cover plate 110 has a third connection structure 111 for detachably connecting to the chassis 100. The third connection structure 111 is preferably a tool-free positioning member. The tool-free positioning member is preferably a hand-tightening bolt. By manually turning the tool-free positioning member, the relative separation and connection between the other end of the first cover plate 110 and the chassis 100 are realized. Among them, a connection threaded hole 101 connected to the third connection structure 111 is provided on the chassis 100.

[0090] Among them, the angle at which the first cover plate 110 can rotate is not limited. When it is necessary to take and place the second adapter plate 210, it is preferably to rotate the first cover plate 110 by 90°, that is, the operation space can be avoided, which is convenient for the operator to quickly disassemble and assemble the liquid-cooled power adapter plate.

[0091] Specifically, the first power supply bracket 120 has a first chute structure 115, and the first cover plate 110 has a second chute structure 125; in the state where the first cover plate 110 covers the fourth position area, the first chute structure 115 and the second chute structure 125 are correspondingly arranged, and the second cover plate 500 realizes the closing and opening of the second cover plate 500 relative to the chassis 100 by sliding along the first chute structure 115 and the second chute structure 125. Among them, the first chute structure 115 and the second chute structure 125 slidably support one side edge of the second cover plate 500, and the chassis 100 further has a third chute structure for slidably supporting the other side edge of the second cover plate 500. One side edge of the second cover plate 500 and the other side edge of the second cover plate 500 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second cover plate 500.

[0092] Specifically, to improve the connection effect, the first chute structure 115, the second chute structure 125, and the third chute structure all have a first positioning and mating structure, and the edge of the second cover plate 500 that is in contact with the chute structure (the first chute structure 115, the second chute structure 125, and the third chute structure) has a second positioning and mating structure. When the second cover plate 500 slides along the chute structure and closes the chassis 100, the first positioning and mating structure cooperates and connects with the second positioning and mating structure.

[0093] As Figure 10 and Figure 13 shown, taking the first positioning and mating structure of the first chute structure 115 as an example, the first positioning and mating structure of the first chute structure 115 is a first engaging structure 116. The first engaging structure 116 has a first opening that communicates with the top surface of the first chute structure 115 and a first engaging portion located inside the first chute structure 115. The first opening communicates with the first engaging portion, and the arrangement direction of the first opening and the first engaging portion is the moving direction of the second cover plate 500 to close the chassis 100. The second cover plate 500 has a mating connection portion 502. The mating connection portion 502 can enter the first engaging structure 116 from the first opening of the first engaging structure 116. After the second cover plate 500 closes the chassis 100 in place, the mating connection portion 502 slides to the first engaging portion of the first engaging structure 116, realizing the mating connection between the mating connection portion 502 and the first engaging structure 116.

[0094] Among them, the second cover plate 500 has a plurality of connection portions 502, and the plurality of connection portions 502 are respectively in mating connection with the first positioning and mating structure of the first chute structure 115, the first positioning and mating structure of the second chute structure 125, and the first positioning and mating structure of the third chute structure.

[0095] As Figure 11 shown, the first positioning and mating structure of the second chute structure 125 is a second engaging structure 126, and the structure of the second engaging structure 126 is the same as the structure of the above-mentioned first engaging structure 116. Similarly, the first positioning and mating structure of the third chute structure can also be the same as the structure of the above-mentioned first engaging structure 116.

[0096] In this embodiment, the matching connection part 502 can be a component such as a rivet or an I-shaped nail, which includes a head and a connecting column, and the connecting column is connected to the inner side of the edge plate of the second cover plate 500. That is, a gap is formed between the head of the matching connection part 502 and the edge plate of the second cover plate 500, and the connecting column is located in the gap. During the movement of the second cover plate 500 to close the chassis 100, when the matching connection part 502 moves to the first positioning matching structure, the connecting column enters the first opening part, and as the second cover plate 500 continues to move, the connecting column enters the first clamping part, so that the head of the matching connection part 502 and the edge plate of the second cover plate 500 are respectively located on both sides of the first positioning matching structure, thereby achieving a positioning effect.

[0097] Of course, the mating connection portion 502 may also be configured as a hook, and the hook may be matingly connected with the first positioning mating structure.

[0098] The matching connection part 502 and the first positioning matching structure may also be set as other structures, and the matching connection part 502 and the first positioning matching structure only need to be matched and connected when the second cover plate 500 closes the chassis 100 .

[0099] In order to facilitate the sliding of the second cover plate 500, a raised support portion is provided on one side edge of the second cover plate 500 and the other side edge of the second cover plate 500. The raised support portion on one side edge of the second cover plate 500 cooperates with the first slide groove structure 115 and the second slide groove structure 125 for sliding, and the raised support portion on the other side edge of the second cover plate 500 cooperates with the third slide groove structure. The raised support portion can be directly processed on the second cover plate 500, or connected to the second cover plate 500 by screws (such as I-shaped nails), so that part of the structure of the screw is used as the raised support portion.

[0100] The end of the second slide groove structure 125 has a fourth connection structure that is detachably connected to the chassis 100. In this embodiment, the fourth connection structure is an elastic buckle 112, and the chassis 100 is provided with a matching groove 102. The elastic buckle 112 can be clamped in the matching groove 102 to achieve the connection between the fourth connection structure and the chassis 100. Through the above arrangement, the stability of the first cover plate 110 in the buckled state is improved.

[0101] After the second cover plate 500 is closed relative to the chassis 100, a third connection structure 501 is provided at the end facing away from the sliding direction in which the second cover plate 500 is closed relative to the chassis 100. As above, the third connection structure 501 is preferably a tool-free positioning member. The tool-free positioning member is preferably a hand-tightening bolt, and the other end of the second cover plate 500 is relatively separated from and connected to the chassis 100 by manually tightening the tool-free positioning member.

[0102] The embodiments of the present application also provide an electronic device, including a chassis 100, a power supply, a main board 400 and an assembly structure disposed in the chassis 100, and the assembly structure is any of the above-mentioned assembly structures. Since the above-mentioned assembly structure has the above technical effects, the electronic device with the above assembly structure should also have the same technical effects, which will not be repeated here one by one.
