Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing device, and particularly to a fixing component and an electronic device including the same. Background Art

[0002] Servers can be used to store, analyze, and calculate a large amount of data, thus playing a key role in cloud services. With the rapid growth of cloud services, the amount of data that servers need to process is also becoming increasingly huge.

[0003] In order to maximize the performance in all aspects within the limited space of the server host, the component configuration inside the server chassis not only needs to be more and more compact, but also needs to be a detachable design at the same time. However, for current server hosts, the components inside the server chassis are mainly fixed by screwing. For example, the circuit board for docking the power supply is fixed to the server chassis with screws and then the power supply is plugged and unplugged. However, this fixing method not only increases the material and labor costs of using screws, but also affects the efficiency of the processes such as loading, unloading, and maintenance related to the power supply.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a fixing component and an electronic device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a fixing component and an electronic device, which can solve the foregoing problems in a screw-free and tool-free manner.

[0006] A fixing component according to an embodiment of the present invention is adapted to be disposed on a carrier and a plate portion of a chassis. The carrier is disposed on the plate portion. A circuit board is detachably disposed on the carrier. The fixing component includes a receiving member, at least one stopping member, and an actuating member. The receiving member is adapted to be movably disposed on the plate portion. The stopping member is adapted to be movably disposed on the plate portion and is linked by the receiving member. The actuating member is used to push against the receiving member to drive the stopping member to move in a direction relatively away from the plate portion through the receiving member to stop at a leading edge of the circuit board.

[0007] An electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention is adapted to a circuit board. The electronic device includes a chassis and a fixing component. The chassis includes a carrier and a plate portion. The carrier is disposed on the plate portion. The carrier is used to carry the circuit board. The fixing component includes a receiving member, at least one stopping member, and an actuating member. The receiving member is movably disposed on the plate portion. The stopping member is movably disposed on the plate portion and is linked by the receiving member. The actuating member is used to push against the receiving member to drive the stopping member to move in a direction relatively away from the plate portion through the receiving member to stop at a leading edge of the circuit board.

[0008] According to the fixing component and the electronic device disclosed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, since the actuating member can be used to push against the receiving member to interlock the stopper to stop the circuit board, the purpose of restricting and fixing the circuit board can be achieved when the circuit board is placed. Thereby, the electronic device having this fixing component can complete the installation of the circuit board in a screw-free and tool-free manner, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of processes such as loading, unloading, and maintenance of the functional unit applicable to this circuit board. At the same time, since the fixing component has limited and fixed the circuit board, the operation of plugging and unplugging the functional unit will not cause unexpected displacement of the circuit board.

[0009] The above description of the disclosure of the present invention and the following description of the embodiments are used to demonstrate and explain the spirit and principle of the present invention, and to provide a further explanation of the claims of the present invention.

Additionally, the same reference numerals may substantially refer to the same elements or structures.

[0061] In the description of the present invention, the detailed description of the common general knowledge related to the main idea of the present invention may also be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the main idea of the present invention. The following text may use terms such as "end", "part", "portion", "area", "location", etc. to describe specific elements and structures or specific technical features thereon or between them, but these elements and structures are not limited by these terms. The following text may also use terms such as "substantially", "about", and "substantially" to describe the reasonable or acceptable deviation amount that may exist in the described situation or event, but still achieve the expected result. And when explaining elements in the following text, although there is no other explicit description, it should be interpreted to include a reasonable error range.

[0062] In addition, the term "at least one" may also be used hereinafter to describe the quantity of the indicated element(s), but unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should not be limited to the case where the quantity is "only one". The term "and / or" may also be used hereinafter, and it should be understood to include any one of the listed items and all combinations of one or more of them. The following may involve descriptions such as an element being disposed on, connected to, or fixed to another element, etc., but unless otherwise explicitly stated, the situation where other elements may be interposed between these two elements is allowed.

Therefore, the first element mentioned hereinafter may also be the second element within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0063] Some embodiments of the present invention and other embodiments will be considered Figures 1 to 7B and described in the following paragraphs. However, those skilled in the art can understand that various details described herein or hereinafter regarding the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0064] First, please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device 9. The electronic device 9 may be, but is not limited to, a computer mainframe, a server mainframe, or a part or all of a module that can be placed inside a computer mainframe or a servo mainframe, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The electronic device 9 may include a chassis 90, and the chassis 90 may accommodate a circuit board 8 for one or more functional units 7 to dock. The circuit board 8 may be, but is not limited to, an interface circuit board (prober interface board, PIB), which may include a board body 81 and a connector 82 located on one side of the board body 81. The functional unit 7 may be, but is not limited to, a power supply unit (PSU). As shown in the figure, the functional unit 7 may be inserted into the chassis 90 along a first direction D1 to electrically connect to the connector 82 of the circuit board 8, or may be removed from the chassis 90 by detaching from the connector 82 of the circuit board 8 along a second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1.

[0065] Furthermore, the board body 81 of the circuit board 8 is detachably mounted on a carrier 91 of the chassis 90. The carrier 91 is slightly plate-shaped and suitable for carrying the circuit board 8. Moreover, at least one limiting portion 911 may protrude from the surface of the carrier 91. The limiting portion 911 is in the shape of a barb and can be used to engage at least one engaging groove 813 on the board body 81 of the circuit board 8. Thus, the circuit board 8 can be detachably disposed on the carrier 91 and is limited in multiple directions. In this embodiment, the carrier 91 can be part or all of the housing that can accommodate the functional unit 7, and can be fixed to a board portion 92 of the chassis 90 or the inner side thereof in any suitable manner such as screws or rivets. The board portion 92 can, but is not limited to, refer to part or all of the board body structure on any side of the chassis 90. According to applications or various different requirements, the board portion 92 can refer to the side plate or the bottom plate on any side of the chassis 90, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the carrier can also, but is not limited to, be integrally formed with the chassis.

[0066] In order to prevent the circuit board 8 from shifting when the circuit board 8 is detachably disposed on the carrier 91 while the functional unit 7 is being plugged and unplugged, in this embodiment, the electronic device 9 may further include a fixing component 1. The fixing component 1 can cooperate with the limiting portion 911 of the carrier 91 to fix the circuit board 8 in all directions and prevent the circuit board 8 from being displaced from its predetermined position due to the influence of the functional unit 7. Hereinafter, the part of the fixing component 1 will be described in detail.

[0067] Please continue Figure 1 Further refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 2 is a partially enlarged exploded view of the electronic device 9, Figure 3 is an exploded view of the fixing component 1, and Figure 4It is a schematic diagram of the interlocking of the fixing component 1. In this embodiment, the fixing component 1 may include an interlocking mechanism 10 and an actuating member 20. The actuating member 20 can be, but is not limited to, a spring-loaded plunger, and can be fixed to the side of the board body 81 of the circuit board 8 relatively far from the carrier 91 in any suitable manner. As shown in the figure, the actuating member 20 may include a penetrating column 21. The penetrating column 21 can be driven by a spring (not labeled) inside the actuating member 20 to protrude outwards and penetrate through the board body 81 of the circuit board 8. Or rather, the penetrating column 21 can be movably penetrated through the circuit board 8. The interlocking mechanism 10 can be movably fixed to the board portion 92 of the chassis 90 and is located on the side of the carrier 91 of the chassis 90 relatively far from the circuit board 8. The actuating member 20 can actuated the interlocking mechanism 10 through the penetrating column 21 to drive the interlocking mechanism 10 to switch states and stop at the front edge 811 and the side edge 812 of the board body 81, so as to cooperate with the limiting portion 911 of the carrier 91 to limit the circuit board 8 in all directions, which is described in detail as follows. The front edge 811 refers to the side of the circuit board 8 where the connector 82 is provided. Or rather, the front edge 811 and the connector 82 are located on the same side of the circuit board 8. The side edge 812 refers to the other side of the circuit board 8 adjacent to the front edge 811.

[0068] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism 10 may include a receiving member 110, at least one transmission member (such as at least one first transmission member 120 and at least one second transmission member 130 shown in the figure), and at least one stopper 140. Generally, the receiving member 110 is movably disposed on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90. The receiving member 110 corresponds to the actuating member 20 and is the part of the linkage mechanism 10 that is pushed by the penetrating post 21 of the actuating member 20. The receiving member 110 may be an elastic piece made of any suitable material. Therefore, at least a part of the receiving member 110 can move or deform in a specific direction corresponding to the movement of the penetrating post 21 (in the directions indicated by arrow A1 and arrow A1' opposite to arrow A1); the first transmission members 120 are respectively movably connected to opposite ends of the receiving member 110 and are slidably disposed on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 in a direction substantially perpendicular to arrow A1 (in the directions indicated by arrow A2 and arrow A2' opposite to arrow A2). Therefore, the movable direction of at least another part of the receiving member 110 is substantially parallel to the movable direction of the first transmission members 120; the second transmission members 130 are respectively movably connected to the ends of the first transmission members 120 relatively far from the receiving member 110 to be interlocked with the receiving member 110 via the first transmission members 120 and are slidably disposed on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 in a direction substantially perpendicular to arrow A1 and arrow A2 (in the direction indicated by arrow A3 and the opposite direction). In other words, the movable direction of the first transmission members 120 is substantially perpendicular to the movable direction of the second transmission members 130; the stoppers 140 are movably disposed on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 and are respectively movably connected to the ends of the second transmission members 130 relatively far from the first transmission members 120 to be interlocked with the receiving member 110 via the first transmission members 120 and the second transmission members 130 and are slidably disposed on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 in a direction substantially perpendicular to arrow A2 and arrow A3 (in the directions indicated by arrow A1 and A1'). In other words, the movable direction of the stoppers 140 is substantially perpendicular to the movable direction of the second transmission members 130. In short, when the penetrating post 21 of the actuating member 20 applies a force to push the receiving member 110 of the linkage mechanism 10 in a specific direction, the stopper 140 of the linkage mechanism 10 can move in a direction opposite to the force applied by the penetrating post 21. Or rather, the actuating member 20 can push the receiving member 110 to drive the stopper 140 to move in a direction relatively far from the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 to at least stop at the front edge 811 of the circuit board 8.

[0069] Furthermore, the piece to be pressed 110 may include a pressed portion 111 and two connecting portions 113. The pressed portion 111 is connected between the connecting portions 113 and may have a relatively flat surface to receive the pushing of the penetrating post 21 of the actuating member 20. Therefore, the movable direction of the pressed portion 111 of the piece to be pressed 110 is substantially parallel to the movable direction of the penetrating post 21 of the actuating member 20. To enable the penetrating post 21 to touch the pressed portion 111 of the piece to be pressed 110, the carrier 91 has a through hole 912 between the actuating member 20 and the piece to be pressed 110. The through hole 912 corresponds to the pressed portion 111 of the piece to be pressed 110, so that the pressed portion 111 is exposed below the penetrating post 21; the connecting portion 113 refers to the part of the piece to be pressed 110 for connecting the first transmission member 120. Correspondingly, the first transmission member 120 may include a connecting portion 121 at one end thereof. The connecting portion 121 refers to the part of the first transmission member 120 for connecting the connecting portion 113 of the piece to be pressed 110. In this embodiment, one of the connecting portion 113 and the connecting portion 121 may be a through hole, and the other may be a protrusion movably penetrating through this through hole.

[0070] In addition, the first transmission member 120 may further include a connecting portion 122 and a guiding portion 123. The guiding portion 123 may be a groove extending along the direction of arrow A2 for a T-shaped rivet or a similar structure (not labeled) on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 to be provided, so as to guide the first transmission member 120 in the direction of arrow A2 or arrow A2'; the connecting portion 122 is located at the other end of the first transmission member 120 and refers to the part of the first transmission member 120 for connecting the second transmission member 130. Correspondingly, the second transmission member 130 may include a connecting portion 131 at one end thereof, which refers to the part of the second transmission member 130 for connecting the connecting portion 122 of the first transmission member 120. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 122 may be a protrusion, and the connecting portion 131 may be a chute adapted for this protrusion to penetrate through and forming an angle with both arrow A2 and A3, so that the movement of the first transmission member 120 generates a component force on the second transmission member 130 in the direction of arrow A3.

[0071] In addition, the second transmission member 130 may further include a set of connecting portions 132 and a guiding portion 133. The guiding portion 133 may be a groove extending in the direction of arrow A3 for a T-shaped rivet or a similar structure (not labeled) on the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 to be disposed therein, so as to guide the second transmission member 130 in the direction of arrow A3 or the direction opposite to arrow A3; the set of connecting portions 132 is located at the other end of the second transmission member 130, which refers to the portion of the second transmission member 130 for connecting to the stopper 140. Correspondingly, the stopper 140 may include a set of connecting portions 141 at one end thereof, and the set of connecting portions 141 refers to the portion of the stopper 140 for connecting to the set of connecting portions 132 of the second transmission member 130. In this embodiment, the set of connecting portions 132 may be a protrusion, and the set of connecting portions 141 may be a chute adapted for the protrusion to pass through and forming an angle with both arrow A1' and A3, so that the movement of the second transmission member 130 generates a component force on the stopper 140 in the direction of arrow A1'. It can be seen from this that the movable direction of the receiving portion 111 of the receiving member 110 is substantially parallel to the movable direction of the stopper 140, and is substantially perpendicular to the movable directions of the first transmission member 120 and the second transmission member 130.

[0072] The stopper 140 can be stopped at the side edge 812 of the plate body 81 when the piercing post 21 of the actuating member 20 drives it to switch positions. And the stopper 140 may further include a stop protrusion 142, which substantially protrudes and extends in the directions of arrow A2 and A2', and can be stopped at the front edge 811 of the plate body 81 when the piercing post 21 of the actuating member 20 drives it to switch positions, so as to cooperate with the limiting portion 911 of the carrier 91 to limit the circuit board 8 in all directions.

[0073] Next, please refer to Figures 5A to 5C , it will be described how to assemble and fix the circuit board 8 through the fixing assembly 1 to make the foregoing content more specific. First, as Figure 5A , the user can pull up the actuating member 20 (as shown by the arrow) to retract its piercing post 21 into the plate body 81 of the circuit board 8. Subsequently or simultaneously, the plate body 81 of the circuit board 8 can be placed on the carrier 91 and then pushed in the first direction D1, so that the limiting portion 911 of the carrier 91 is engaged with the engaging groove 813 of the plate body 81. At this time, as Figure 5B , the circuit board 8 can be restricted by the limiting portion 911 and cannot move in the first direction D1 and other directions perpendicular to the first direction D1.

[0074] Subsequently or simultaneously, the actuating member 20 can be released so that its penetrating post 21 penetrates through the through-hole 912 of the carrier 91 to push against the receiving portion 111 of the receiving member 110 of the linkage mechanism 10. As described above, the pushing force of the penetrating post 21 against the receiving portion 111 in a specific direction can cause the stopper 140 to move in a direction opposite to that of the receiving member 110 (as shown by the arrow A1', causing the stopper 140 to move in a direction relatively away from the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90) through the linkage of the first transmission member 120 and the second transmission member 130. Thereby, the stopper 140 and its stopper protrusion 142 can be stopped at the front edge 811 and the side edge 812 of the plate body 81 to limit the movement of the circuit board 8 in the second direction D2.

[0075] By the foregoing operations, the limiting portion 911 of the carrier 91 and the stopper 140 of the linkage mechanism 10 and its stopper protrusion 142 limit the movement freedom of the circuit board 8 in all directions, thereby effectively preventing any unexpected displacement of the circuit board 8 due to external forces. It can be seen that with the fixing assembly 1, the user only needs to simply complete the installation of the circuit board 8 by the simple steps of pushing in the circuit board 8 and then releasing the actuating member 20. And, since the fixing assembly 1 can limit the circuit board 8 in multiple directions, during the insertion and removal of the functional unit 7 (such as Figure 1 the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 shown), the acting force generated by the functional unit 7 on the circuit board 8 will not cause any unexpected displacement of the circuit board 8.

[0076] When the circuit board 8 is to be removed, it can also be completed with only simple steps. For example, the actuating member 20 can be first pulled upward so that its penetrating post 21 leaves the receiving portion 111 of the receiving member 110, thereby enabling the receiving member 110 to elastically return to its original shape by itself, and at the same time, the first transmission member 120 and the second transmission member 130 are reversely linked to reset the stopper 140 and disengage it from the front edge 811 of the plate body 81. At that time, the plate body 81 of the circuit board 8 can be pulled out in the second direction D2 to complete the operation of removing the circuit board 8.

[0077] It should be supplemented here that the actuating member in the above embodiment is only one exemplary means for switching the state of the linkage mechanism and is not used to limit the present invention. Understandably, any suitable device that can cause the linkage mechanism to complete the foregoing state switching can be used as the actuating member of the present invention. For example, in other embodiments, the actuating member can also be replaced with any suitable bolt or pin having a protruding structure that can penetrate the circuit board, so that the user can actuate the linkage mechanism by manually operating the actuating member.

[0078] In addition, the above interlocking mechanism is only one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The following will list other exemplary interlocking mechanisms that can achieve the same effect. However, it should be stated in advance that for the purpose of brief description, the content of the following embodiments will only describe the parts that are different from the previous embodiments, and the repeated and identical parts can be understood from the corresponding paragraphs that have been described and will not be repeated here.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 6A to 6B , which is an exploded and three-dimensional schematic diagram of a fixing component according to another embodiment of the present invention. On one side of the receiving member 110' of the interlocking mechanism 10' of the fixing component 1' in this embodiment, an elastic member 150 may be provided. The elastic member 150 can be used to drive the receiving portion 111' of the receiving member 110' to move in the direction of the actuating member 20. Specifically, the elastic member 150 can be, but is not limited to, any suitable compression spring, and can be clamped between the receiving portion 111' of the receiving member 110' and the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 to normally drive the receiving portion 111' of the receiving member 110' to move in a direction relatively away from the plate portion 92 of the chassis 90 (or, drive the receiving portion 111' to move in a direction relatively close to the actuating member 20). In addition, the connecting portion 121' of the first transmission member 120' can be a sliding groove that forms an angle with both the arrow A1 and A2, and the connecting portion 113' of the receiving member 110' of the fixing component 1' can be a protrusion adapted to be slidably disposed in this sliding groove. With this configuration, the actuating member 20 can still stop the stopper 140 from moving in the direction of the arrow A1' by actuating the receiving member 110' to achieve the aforementioned effect of limiting the circuit board 8.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 7A to 7B , which is a three-dimensional and interlocking schematic diagram of a fixing component according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The receiving member 110'' of the interlocking mechanism 10'' of the fixing component 1'' in this embodiment may include a first elastic piece 1111, a second elastic piece 1112, and at least one elastic support structure 1113. The opposite ends of the first elastic piece 1111 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the second elastic piece 1112 to form a connecting portion 113'' at the opposite ends of the receiving member 110'', and there is a distance or a gap between the central regions of the first elastic piece 1111 and the second elastic piece 1112. The elastic support structure 1113 is clamped between the first elastic piece 1111 and the second elastic piece 1112 to provide the elastic force for the first elastic piece 1111 and the second elastic piece 1112 to be supported and return to their original shapes. In addition, to ensure the position of the receiving member 110'', the second elastic piece 1112 can be sleeved on a protrusion 93 protruding from the carrier 91.

[0081] With this configuration, the actuator 20 pushes the first spring piece 1111 of the resisting member 110" in the direction of arrow A1, which can force the first spring piece 1111 and the second spring piece 1112 and the elastic supporting structure 1113 therebetween to deform, thereby causing the assembly portion 113" to move in the directions of arrows A2 and A2'. Similarly, the stopper 140 can be moved in the direction of arrow A1' by linking the first transmission member 120 and the second transmission member 130 to achieve the aforementioned effect of limiting the circuit board 8.

[0082] According to the fixing assembly and electronic device disclosed in the aforementioned embodiments of the present invention, since the carrier can use the limiting part to clamp the circuit board to limit the movement of the circuit board in one direction, the actuator can then be used to link the stopper of the linkage mechanism to stop the front edge of the circuit board, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting and fixing the circuit board in multiple directions. In this way, the electronic device with this fixing assembly can complete the installation of the circuit board in a screw-free and tool-free manner, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the processes such as loading and unloading and maintenance of the functional units suitable for this circuit board. At the same time, since the fixing assembly has fixed the circuit board in multiple directions, the operation of plugging and unplugging the functional unit will not cause unexpected displacement of the circuit board.
