Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a supporting device, in particular to a clamping supporting device for being mounted on a chassis of an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, electronic components such as display cards, sound cards, random access memory (RAM), solid-state drives (SSD), etc. in a computer host are assembled mainly by inserting a side with a connecting finger into a corresponding slot on a motherboard so as to communicate with each other through the motherboard.

[0003] Take the display card as an example. In recent years, as the functions of the display card have become more and more powerful, its size and weight have also continued to increase. If it only relies on one side of the display card plugged into the motherboard as support, the increased weight of the display card will cause the motherboard and the display card to deform and be damaged. Therefore, some people have designed a support frame that can be installed on the chassis of the computer host. The support frame is used to assist in holding and supporting the display card to avoid the problem of damage to the motherboard and the display card due to the excessive weight of the display card.

[0004] However, the support frame used to be installed on the chassis in the prior art is usually fixed to the chassis by means of screws, knobs, slots, etc. In addition to requiring the support frame and the chassis to have corresponding specific structures, this type of design also has relatively complicated installation steps, so there is still room for further improvement. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a clamping support device which can be installed on a bracket without using structures such as screws, knobs, and slots.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical means adopted by the present invention is to design a clamping support device, which includes:

[0007] A support seat, which has a fixed clamping plate and two pivot plates, the fixed clamping plate protrudes and is arranged on an inner side surface of the support seat, the two pivot plates protrude and are arranged on the inner side surface of the support seat at intervals, each pivot plate has a front side edge, the front side edge of each pivot plate faces the fixed clamping plate and is arranged at intervals from the fixed clamping plate;

[0008] a locking handle, one end of which is a driving end, the driving end is disposed between the two pivot plates and is pivotally mounted on the pivot plate of the support base via a pivot, the locking handle can be pivoted relative to the support base and selectively rotated to a locking position and an unlocking position, and a positioning protrusion is protruded from the driving end; and

[0009] An abutting seat, which is sleeved on the two pivot plates of the supporting seat, and the abutting seat can be driven by the locking handle to move back and forth in a direction close to or away from the fixed clamping plate of the supporting seat;

[0010] Wherein, when the locking handle is rotated to the locking position, the positioning protrusion of the locking handle abuts against the movable clamping plate of the abutting seat.

[0011] In the clamping support device:

[0012] The two opposite ends of the support seat are respectively a front end and a rear end;

[0013] The abutting seat can have two side plates, which are arranged on opposite sides of the abutting seat and overlap the two pivot plates of the supporting seat respectively;

[0014] A sliding guide structure can be provided between the aforementioned overlapping pivot plate and the side plate, and the sliding guide structure includes a guide groove and a guide protrusion, the guide groove and the guide protrusion are respectively formed on the corresponding side surfaces of the pivot plate and the side plate, the opposite ends of the guide groove extend toward the front end and the rear end of the support seat respectively, and the guide protrusion protrudes into the guide groove and can move along the guide groove.

[0015] In the clamp-type support device, the guide groove can be formed on the pivot plate of the support seat, and the guide protrusion can be formed on the side plate of the abutment seat.

[0016] In the clamp-type support device, the abutment seat can have at least one indicator hole, and the at least one indicator hole is formed on at least one of the two side plates. Each indicator hole is formed in the shape of a long hole, and the two ends of the long axis extension direction of the indicator hole are respectively facing the front end and the rear end of the support seat. The position of the indicator hole corresponds to one of the ends of the aforementioned pivot, and the corresponding end of the pivot can be seen through the indicator hole.

[0017] In the clamp-type support device, the end of the pivot protrudes into the corresponding indicating hole.

[0018] In the clamping support device, the abutment seat can have:

[0019] a transmission plate, which is disposed on the abutting seat at a position corresponding to a side of the driving end of the locking handle, and when the locking handle rotates toward the unlocking position, the driving end of the locking handle abuts against the transmission plate to drive the abutting seat to move in a direction away from the fixed clamping plate of the support seat; and

[0020] A movable clamping plate is arranged on the side of the abutting seat facing the fixed clamping plate and is spaced apart from the fixed clamping plate. When the locking handle rotates toward the locking position, the positioning protrusion of the locking handle pushes the movable clamping plate to drive the abutting seat to move toward the direction of the fixed clamping plate close to the support seat.

[0021] In the clamp-type support device, a pushing top portion is formed on the driving end of the locking handle, and a recess can be formed on an inner side surface of the transmission plate of the abutment seat. When the locking handle is rotated toward the unlocking position, the pushing top portion of the locking handle will move into the recess and push the abutment seat to move.

[0022] In the clamp-type support device, a convex portion is provided on the transmission plate of the abutment seat adjacent to the recess. When the locking handle rotates from the locking position to the unlocking position, the pushing portion of the locking handle moves into the recess and abuts against the convex portion to push the abutment seat to move.

[0023] In the clamp-type support device, a positioning recess can be formed on an inner side surface of the movable clamping plate of the abutting seat. When the locking handle is rotated to the unlocking position, the positioning protrusion of the locking handle is embedded in the positioning recess of the movable clamping plate.

[0024] Through the design as described above, when installing the clamp-type support device of the present invention, the user only needs to rotate the locking handle to the unlocking position first, then place the clamp-type support device at a predetermined position on a bracket, and then rotate the locking handle to the locking position to fix the clamp-type support device on the bracket. There is no need to process the bracket and the clamp-type support device to form corresponding specific structures, and there is no need to use tools such as screwdrivers during installation, so the operation is quite simple.

[0070] The following is a further description of the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0071] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clamping support device 1 of the present invention includes a support base 10 , a locking handle 20 and an abutting base 40 .

[0072] The support seat 10 is generally long, with the opposite ends of the support seat 10 being a front end and a rear end respectively. The support seat 10 has an inner side surface, a fixed clamping plate 11 and two pivot plates 12. The fixed clamping plate 11 is protrudingly arranged on the inner side surface of the support seat 10 and has a clamping surface 111. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the fixed clamping plate 11 is located near the front end of the support seat 10, and the clamping surface 111 faces the rear end of the support seat 10. The two pivot plates 12 are protrudingly arranged on the inner side surface of the support seat 10 at intervals, and each pivot plate 12 has a front side edge, and the front side edge of each pivot plate 12 faces the fixed clamping plate 11 and is spaced apart from the fixed clamping plate 11.

[0073] The two ends of the locking handle 20 are respectively a driving end 21 and an operating end 22. The driving end 21 is arranged between the two pivot plates 12 and is rotatably pivoted on the pivot plate 12 of the support base 10 via a pivot 30, so that the locking handle 20 can be pivoted relative to the support base 10 and selectively rotated to a locked position and an unlocked position. In addition, a pushing top portion 23 and a positioning protrusion 24 are protruding from the driving end 21. The operating end 22 faces the rear end of the support base 10, and the user can drive the locking handle 20 to pivot from the operating end 22.

[0074] The abutting seat 40 is sleeved on the two pivot plates 12 of the support seat 10, the clamping surface 111 of the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10 faces the abutting seat 40, and the abutting seat 40 can be driven by the locking handle 20 to move back and forth in the direction of approaching or moving away from the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10. The abutting seat 40 has two side plates 41, at least one indicating hole 42, a transmission plate 43 and a dynamic clamping plate 44.

[0075] The two side plates 41 are disposed on opposite sides of the abutting seat 40 and overlap the two pivot plates 12 of the support seat 10, respectively. The at least one indicating hole 42 is formed on at least one of the two side plates 41. Each indicating hole 42 is formed in the shape of a long hole. The two ends of the indicating hole 42 in the direction of the long axis extension are respectively oriented toward the front end and the rear end of the support seat 10. The position of the indicating hole 42 corresponds to one end of the aforementioned pivot 30, and the corresponding end of the pivot 30 can be seen through the indicating hole 42. The user can thereby check the position of the pivot 30 in the indicating hole 42 to determine whether the abutting seat 40 is located close to or away from the fixed clamping plate 11. In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of the at least one indicating hole 42 is one indicating hole 42, and the end of the pivot 30 is flush with the pivot plate 12 and does not protrude into the indicating hole 42.

[0076] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in order to achieve a better effect, a sliding guide structure is provided between the aforementioned overlapping pivot plate 12 and the side plate 41, and the sliding guide structure includes a guide groove 121 and a guide protrusion 411, and the guide groove 121 and the guide protrusion 411 are respectively formed on the corresponding side surfaces of the pivot plate 12 and the side plate 41, and the opposite ends of the guide groove 121 extend toward the front end and the rear end of the support seat 10 respectively. The guide protrusion 411 protrudes into the guide groove 121 and can move along the guide groove 121 to limit and guide the abutting seat 40 to move back and forth in the direction of approaching or moving away from the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the guide groove 121 is formed on the pivot plate 12 of the support seat 10, and the guide protrusion 411 is formed on the side plate 41 of the abutting seat 40, but it is not limited to this. The guide groove 121 can also be formed on the side plate 41 of the abutting seat 40, and the guide protrusion 411 can be formed on the pivot plate 12 of the support seat 10, as long as it can limit and guide the abutting seat 40 to move along the extension direction of the guide groove 121.

[0077] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission plate 43 is arranged on the abutting seat 40 at a position corresponding to the side of the driving end 21 of the locking handle 20. When the locking handle 20 rotates toward the unlocking position, the driving end 21 of the locking handle 20 abuts against the transmission plate 43 and drives the abutting seat 40 to move in a direction away from the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10. In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, a recess 431 is formed on an inner side surface of the transmission plate 43, and a convex portion 432 is provided adjacent to the recess 431. The position of the pushing portion 23 of the locking handle 20 corresponds to the recess 431. When the locking handle 20 rotates from the locking position to the unlocking position, the pushing portion 23 of the locking handle 20 moves into the recess 431 and abuts against the convex portion 432 to push the abutting seat 40 to move.

[0078] The movable clamping plate 44 is disposed on the side of the abutting seat 40 facing the fixed clamping plate 11 and is spaced apart from the fixed clamping plate 11. When the locking handle 20 is rotated toward the locking position, the positioning protrusion 24 of the locking handle 20 pushes the movable clamping plate 44 and drives the abutting seat 40 to move toward the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10.

[0079] So Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, when the locking handle 20 is rotated to the locking position, the pushing part 23 of the locking handle 20 will abut against the movable clamping plate 44 of the abutting seat 40, preventing the abutting seat 40 from moving in a direction away from the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10, thereby clamping a bracket 51 between the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10 and the movable clamping plate 44 of the abutting seat 40.

[0080] For example Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, when the locking handle 20 is rotated to the unlocking position, the pushing part 23 of the locking handle 20 will drive the abutting seat 40 to move in the direction away from the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10, thereby loosening the bracket 51 arranged between the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10 and the movable clamping plate 44 of the abutting seat 40.

[0081] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a gasket 13 can be further provided on the clamping surface 111 of the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10 and on the inner side surface of the support seat 10 between the fixed clamping plate 11 and the abutting seat 40, and a gasket 45 can be further provided on an outer side surface of the movable clamping plate 44 of the abutting seat 40 to avoid damage to the bracket 51 clamped between the fixed clamping plate 11 of the support seat 10 and the movable clamping plate 44 of the abutting seat 40. For better effect, a plurality of convex ribs 131 can be further formed on the gasket 13 to increase the friction between the gasket 13 and the bracket 51 and improve the clamping effect between the two.

[0082] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the clamping support device 1 of the present invention can be clamped on the side of the upright bracket 51A to assist in supporting various devices around the bracket 51A. Figure 8 As shown, the user can clamp the clip-type support device 1 on the bracket 51A at an appropriate height as required to hang the earmuff-type headphones 52A. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in accordance with the use environment, the clip-type support device 1 can also be clamped on the top edge of the horizontal brackets 51C and 51D to support the electronic components 53D such as the display card, sound card, solid-state drive (SSD) etc. in the case. Furthermore, the aforementioned brackets 51, 51A, 51C, 51D can be part of the case of the computer host, and the material of the aforementioned brackets 51, 51A, 51C, 51D can be glass, aluminum, acrylic etc.

[0083] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown in the figure, it is a second preferred embodiment of the clamping support device 1A of the present invention, which is substantially the same as the clamping support device 1 of the first preferred embodiment of the present case, with the main difference being that: the at least one indicating hole 42A of the abutting seat 40A is two indicating holes 42A, and they are respectively formed on the two side plates 41A of the abutting seat 40A, and the two ends of the pivot 30A respectively protrude into the two sliding holes 42A, so that the user can check the position of the pivot 30A in the indicating hole 42A; a positioning recess 441A is formed on an inner side surface of the movable clamping plate 44A of the abutting seat 40A, as shown in FIG. Fig.17 As shown, when the locking handle 20A is rotated to the unlocking position, the positioning protrusion 24A of the locking handle 20A is located in the positioning recess 441A of the dynamic clamping plate 44A; the protrusion 432 is not formed on the inner side surface of the transmission plate 43A of the abutting seat 40A, and the pushing part 23A of the driving end 21A of the locking handle 20A is formed as a protruding structure, whereby, when the locking handle 20A is rotated from the locking position to the unlocking position, the pushing part 23A will move into the recess 431A to push and drive the abutting seat 40A to move.

[0084] The advantage of the clamp-type support device 1, 1A of the present invention is that when installing it, the user only needs to first rotate the locking handle 20, 20A to the unlocking position, then place the clamp-type support device 1, 1A at the predetermined position on the bracket 51, 51A, 51C, 51D, and then rotate the locking handle 20, 20A to the locking position, so as to fix the height and position of the clamp-type support device 1, 1A on the bracket 51, 51A, 51C, 51D. The chassis and the clamp-type support device 1, 1A do not need to be processed to form corresponding specific structures, and there is no need to use tools such as screwdrivers during installation, so the operation is quite simple.

[0085] As described above, the clamping support device 1, 1A of the present invention is small in size and can be installed on the side of the vertical bracket 51A, or on the top of the horizontal bracket 51C, 51D. In addition to being able to be used in a variety of different scenarios and installed at different heights as required, it can also be used in conjunction with electronic components of different volumes and sizes to provide support, or used as a headphone holder, cable management rack, etc.

[0086] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present invention still falls within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
