The following implementation methods will further explain the relevant technical contents of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed contents are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be understood that, although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are mainly used to distinguish one component from another component, or one signal from another signal. In addition, the term "or" used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items depending on the actual situation.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it is an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a computer case 100, which includes a case 1, a panel 2 covering the case 1, a support bracket 3 detachably mounted in the case 1, an optical drive 4 and a hard disk 5 detachably mounted on the support bracket 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the computer case 100 may also omit the hard disk 5 according to design requirements.

[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 includes a bottom plate 11, two side plates 12 disposed opposite to each other and connected to the bottom plate 11, and a front plate 13 and a rear plate 14 disposed opposite to each other and connected to the bottom plate 11. The bottom plate 11 can be used to provide a circuit board (not shown in the figure) to be disposed thereon. The front plate 13 is connected to the front ends of the two side plates 12, and the rear plate 14 is connected to the rear ends of the two side plates 12, so that the two side plates 12, the front plate 13 and the rear plate 14 are connected to each other and are configured in a square ring shape and connected to the periphery of the bottom plate 11.

[0030] Accordingly, the bottom plate 11, the two side plates 12, the front plate 13 and the rear plate 14 together surround and form a (groove-shaped) accommodation space S. Furthermore, the housing 1 further includes a cover plate (not shown) facing the bottom plate 11, and the cover plate can be used to be detachably mounted on the two side plates 12, the front plate 13 and the rear plate 14, so as to close the accommodation space S.

[0031] In more detail, each of the side panels 12 is formed with a slide groove 121 and a stop groove 122, and the slide groove 121 and the stop groove 122 of one of the side panels 12 are symmetrically disposed with the slide groove 121 and the stop groove 122 of another of the side panels 12. In each of the side panels 12, a groove end 1211 of the slide groove 121 is adjacent to the front panel 13, and the slide groove 121 is located between the front panel 13 and the stop groove 122.

[0032] In addition, the front panel 13 is further formed with an optical drive port 131 and a receiving port 132 adjacent to the optical drive port 131. The front panel 13 has a stopper 133 adjacent to the receiving port 132, and the stopper 133 is closer to the bottom panel 11 than the receiving port 132 (that is, the stopper 133 is located directly below the receiving port 132).

[0033] The panel 2 covers the front panel 13, and the panel 2 is arranged parallel to the front panel 13. The panel 2 is formed with an opening 21 corresponding to the optical drive port 131, and the accommodating space S can be connected to the outside through the optical drive port 131 and the opening 21. It should be additionally explained that the shapes of the optical drive port 131 and the opening 21 can each correspond to the cross-section of the optical drive 4, so that the optical drive port 131 and the opening 21 can each be sufficient for the optical drive 4 to pass therethrough.

[0034] The support bracket 3 is disposed in the accommodation space S and assembled in the slide slots 121 of the two side panels 12, so that the support bracket 3 can rotate relative to the housing 1. In this embodiment, the support bracket 3 has a first setting angle relative to the housing 1 (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), a second setting angle (such as: Figure 5 and Figure 6 ) and a third setting angle (such as: Figures 7 to 10 ).

[0035] Wherein, when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the first setting angle (such as: Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), the support bracket 3 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 11, and most of the volume of the support bracket 3 is located outside the accommodating space S. When the support bracket 3 is located at the third setting angle (eg: Figures 7 to 10 ), the support bracket 3 is parallel to the bottom plate 11, and the support bracket 3 is almost located within the accommodating space S. The second setting angle (e.g., 30 degrees) is between the first setting angle (e.g., 90 degrees) and the third setting angle (e.g., 0 degrees).

[0036] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in order to facilitate understanding of the operation of the computer case 100 of this embodiment, the following content first describes the structure of the supporting bracket 3 and its corresponding connection relationship, and then introduces the operation and other connection relationships of the supporting bracket 3 when it is located at the first setting angle, the second setting angle and the third setting angle.

[0037] like Figure 1and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the supporting bracket 3 surrounds an optical drive space 31 and a hard disk space 33 adjacent to the optical drive space 31, and the supporting bracket 3 includes an optical drive locking portion 32 corresponding to the optical drive space 31 and a hard disk locking member 34 corresponding to the hard disk space 33. The supporting bracket 3 uses the optical drive locking portion 32 to lock and fix the optical drive 4 in the optical drive space 31 (e.g., the optical drive locking portion 32 is locked with the optical drive 4 by its elastic arm), and the supporting bracket 3 uses the hard disk locking member 34 to lock and fix the hard disk 5 in the hard disk space 33.

[0038] It should be noted that the cooperation between the optical drive locking portion 32 and the optical disk drive 4, and the cooperation between the hard disk locking portion 34 and the hard disk 5 in the present embodiment are both manually operated (e.g., the above-mentioned cooperation can be locked and limited by a spring arm structure or a sliding structure), and no tools are required for operation, so as to facilitate the user to disassemble and install the optical disk drive 4 and the hard disk 5 relative to the supporting bracket 3, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0039] Specifically, the support bracket 3 includes two pivots 35, two limiting arms 36, two support locking members 37 and a ejection structure 38. The two pivots 35 are respectively located at the two side edges of the support bracket 3, the two limiting arms 36 are respectively located at the two side edges of the support bracket 3, and the two support locking members 37 are respectively located at the two side edges of the support bracket 3. In other words, any one of the side edges of the support bracket 3 is provided with a pivot 35, a limiting arm 36 and a support locking member 37, and the limiting arm 36 is approximately located between the pivot 35 and the support locking member 37, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0040] Furthermore, the ejection structure 38 is located approximately at the center of the front edge of the support bracket 3 and is in a protruding shape. The ejection structure 38 can selectively abut against the front plate 13 (such as the stopper 133) or be received in the receiving opening 132 according to the setting angle of the support bracket 3 (such as the second setting angle or the third setting angle).

[0041] It should be supplemented that the supporting bracket 3 and any components located thereon can be composed of a bracket main body formed by bending a metal plate and further stamping and bending the metal plate (such as: the optical drive locking portion 32, the two pivots 35, the two limiting arms 36 and the ejection structure 38), or the bracket main body formed by bending the metal plate is further installed with multiple components (the hard disk locking component 34 and the two bracket locking components 37), and the present invention is not limited here.

[0042] According to the above, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the first setting angle, the two pivots 35 of the supporting bracket 3 are respectively located in the sliding grooves 121 of the two side panels 12, and each pivot 35 can slide away from the corresponding groove end 1211, so that the supporting bracket 3 can be disassembled and separated from the casing 1, and the hard disk 5 can also be installed or disassembled relative to the hard disk space 33 of the supporting bracket 3.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the second setting angle, the ejection structure 38 presses against the front plate 13 (such as the stopper 133 ) to make each pivot 35 move from the corresponding slot end 1211 toward a direction away from the front plate 13 .

[0044] In more detail, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, when the supporting bracket 3 rotates from the first setting angle to the second setting angle, the supporting bracket 3 cooperates with the front panel 13 through the ejection structure 38, so that each pivot 35 can be spaced a distance from the corresponding slot end 1211, thereby preventing the optical disk drive 4 (or the front edge of the supporting bracket 3) from colliding with or interfering with the front panel 13.

[0045] To put it another way, when the supporting bracket 3 rotates from the first setting angle to the second setting angle, based on the ejection structure pressing against the front plate 13, each pivot 35 moves from adjacent to the corresponding slot end 1211 to away from the corresponding slot end 1211.

[0046] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the third setting angle, the user can push the supporting bracket 3 to drive the supporting bracket 3 from an intermediate position P1 (eg: Figure 7 and Figure 8 ) moves to a fixed position P2 (e.g.: Fig. 9 and Fig.10), so that the two limiting arms 36 can be respectively installed in the limiting slots 122 of the two side panels 12, and the supporting bracket 3 can move toward the slot end 1211. Accordingly, the optical disk drive 4 passes through the optical drive port 131 and through the opening 21 to be aligned with the panel 2, and the ejection structure 38 passes through the receiving port 132 and is received in the receiving port 132.

[0047] In more detail, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the intermediate position P1, each of the pivots 35 is away from the corresponding slot end 1211, the optical drive 4 passes through the optical drive port 131, and the ejection structure 38 protrudes from the receiving port 132; or in other words, the appearance of the ejection structure 38 corresponds to the receiving port 132, and the receiving port 132 needs to be large enough for the ejection structure 38 to pass through.

[0048] When the supporting bracket 3 moves from the intermediate position P1 to the fixed position P2, the supporting bracket 3 is respectively locked to the two side panels 12 of the housing 1 by the two bracket locking members 37. Accordingly, when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the fixed position P2, each of the pivots 35 is located at a corresponding slot end 1211 and the optical disc drive 4 is flush with the panel 2, and the ejection structure 38 passes through the receiving opening 132.

[0049] It should be noted that when the supporting bracket 3 is located at the fixed position P2 and the optical drive lock portion 32 is unlocked, the optical drive 4 can be taken out from the opening 21 of the panel 2, so as to facilitate the user to install and remove the optical drive 4. The above-mentioned installation and removal of the optical drive 4 can also be operated manually without using any tools.

[0050] [Technical Effects of Embodiments of the Invention]

[0051] In summary, the computer case disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, through the cooperation between the supporting bracket and the casing (such as: when the supporting bracket is located at the second setting angle, the ejection structure presses against the front plate to make each pivot move from the corresponding end of the groove toward the direction away from the front plate), can effectively avoid the situation where the optical disk drive (or the supporting bracket) interferes with the front plate during disassembly and assembly between the supporting bracket and the casing, thereby facilitating the manual quick disassembly and assembly between the supporting bracket and the casing.
