Description

Technical Field

[0001] An electronic device and an interface card module thereof, particularly relating to an interface card support module capable of maintaining the connection angle between an interface card and an interface card slot and an electronic device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Generally, an interface card slot is usually provided on a motherboard for an interface card to be plugged in. The interface card can be a display card, a sound card, a network card, etc., so as to expand the functions of the corresponding electronic device.

[0003] As people's demand for the performance of the interface card increases, the interface card needs to be equipped with a larger heat dissipation module to meet the heat dissipation requirements. After the interface card and the heat dissipation module are combined, not only does the weight increase and it is easy to damage the slot during plugging, but also the weight of the heat dissipation module may cause the interface card to tilt and it is easy to have poor contact or even breakage after being inserted into the slot. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, in some embodiments, an interface card support module is used to be installed on a motherboard. The interface card support module includes an expansion board and an interface card support frame. The expansion board has a connection part and an assembly surface, and the connection part is used to be installed on the motherboard. The interface card support frame has an assembly part and a support surface, and the assembly part is selectively assembled in different areas of the assembly surface to adjust the position of the support surface.

[0005] In some embodiments, the interface card support frame has a stopper, the stopper is connected to a relative surface of one of the support surfaces and is adjacent to the assembly part. When the interface card support frame is assembled to the expansion board, the stopper abuts against the assembly surface of the expansion board.

[0006] In some embodiments, the interface card support frame further includes a fixing part and a support member. The support member is assembled to the fixing part and protrudes from the support surface, and the support member selectively moves relative to the fixing part to change the position of the support member.

[0007] In some embodiments, the fixing part is a chute, and the support member selectively slides relative to the chute to change the distance between the support member and the expansion board.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fixing part includes a first through hole and a second through hole, the distance between the first through hole and the expansion board is different from the distance between the second through hole and the expansion board, and the support member is selectively assembled to the first through hole or the second through hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the support member is a screw, the fixing part is a screw hole, and the support member selectively rotates relative to the fixing part to change the length of the support member protruding from the support surface.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support member is an elastic telescopic member.

[0011] In some embodiments, the assembly surface has a plurality of fixing holes arranged at intervals from each other, and these fixing holes are located at different height positions respectively. The assembly part is selectively assembled into one of these fixing holes.

[0012] In some embodiments, the assembly surface has a slot, and the assembly part is slidably assembled into the slot.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the slot has an opening, a first section, and a second section. The first section communicates between the opening and the second section, and the width of the first section is smaller than the width of the second section. The assembly part includes a first limiting block and a second limiting block connected to each other. The width of the first limiting block is smaller than the width of the second limiting block, and the first limiting block is slidably assembled into the first section, and the second limiting block is slidably assembled into the second section.

[0014] In some embodiments, the assembly surface has a plurality of slots, and these slots are located at different height positions respectively. The assembly part is selectively assembled into one of these slots.

[0015] In some embodiments, an electronic device includes a main board and an interface card support module. The main board has an interface card slot and an expansion connection part. The interface card support module includes an expansion board and an interface card support frame. The expansion board has a connection part and an assembly surface, and the connection part is used for installing on the expansion connection part of the main board. The interface card support frame has an assembly part and a support surface, and the assembly part is selectively assembled in different areas of the assembly surface to adjust the relative position between the support surface and the interface card slot.

[0016] In summary, in some embodiments, the electronic device includes a main board and an interface card support module. The insertion part of the interface card is inserted into the interface card slot of the main board, and the interface card can be abutted against the interface card support frame of the interface card support module, so that the insertion part can maintain a correct connection angle with the interface card slot. It should be emphasized that the interface card support module can be selectively assembled in different areas of the expansion board, so that the interface card support module can be assembled to the position corresponding to the interface card on the assembly surface according to the size of the interface card, so that the interface card support module can support interface cards of different sizes, and prevent the insertion part from tilting in the interface card slot, resulting in damage to one of the insertion part and the interface card slot. In addition, when the interface card is not fully abutted against the interface card support frame, the support member of the interface card support frame can selectively move relative to the fixing part, thereby changing the position of the support member and supporting the interface card.

As shown in FIGS., the electronic device 10 includes a main board 102 and an interface card support module 104. The main board 102 has an interface card slot 106 and an expansion connection portion 108. The interface card support module 104 includes an expansion board 110 and an interface card support frame 112. The expansion board 110 has a connection portion 114 and an assembly surface 116. The connection portion 114 is used to be mounted on the expansion connection portion 108 of the main board 102. The interface card support frame 112 has an assembly portion 118 and a support surface 120. The assembly portion 118 can be selectively assembled in different areas of the assembly surface 116 to adjust the relative position of the support surface 120 and the interface card slot 106. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIGS., the electronic device 10 includes a main board 102 and an interface card support module 104. The main board 102 has an interface card slot 106 and an expansion connection portion 108. The interface card support module 104 includes an expansion board 110 and an interface card support frame 112. The expansion board 110 has a connection portion 114 and an assembly surface 116. The connection portion 114 is used to be mounted on the expansion connection portion 108 of the main board 102. The interface card support frame 112 has an assembly portion 118 and a support surface 120. The assembly portion 118 can be selectively assembled in different areas of the assembly surface 116 to adjust the relative position of the support surface 120 and the interface card slot 106.

[0069] The electronic device 10 can be, for example, a server or a host, and the main board 102 is disposed in the electronic device 10. The interface card slot 106 is disposed on the same surface of the main board 102 for connecting an interface card 122, so that the main board 102 can exchange electronic signals with the interface card 122. In some embodiments, the interface specifications of the interface card slot 106 can match the interface specifications of the interface card 122. For example, if a plug-in portion 123 of the interface card 122 is a PCI-E interface, then the interface card slot 106 can be an interface specification corresponding to the PCI-E interface.

[0070] The expansion connection portion 108 can be disposed in a partial area of the main board 102 for the expansion board 110 to be connected to the main board 102. In Figure 1 embodiments, the expansion connection portion 108 can be located on one side edge of the main board 102, or can be located on two side edges of the main board 102 (not shown in the figure). For example, in Figure 2In an embodiment, the expansion connection part 108 is located on one side of the interface card slot 106, and a fixing frame (not shown in the figure) is located on the other side of the interface card slot 106. One side edge of the interface card 122 is fixed to the fixing frame, and the other side edge abuts against the interface card support frame 112. Thus, the two side edges of the interface card 122 can be supported by the fixing frame and the interface card support frame 112 respectively. It should be noted that the fixing frame can be a housing connected to the electronic device 10. The fixing frame is also called a baffle. Generally speaking, one side edge of the interface card 122 can be fixed by the fixing frame. At this time, stress will be applied to a front edge 125 of the other side edge of the interface card 122, causing the interface card 122 to deform and resulting in the front edge 125 sagging. The interface card support frame 112 can support the other side edge (including the front edge 125) of the interface card 122, so that the insertion part 123 of the interface card 122 can maintain a correct connection angle with the interface card slot 106 (for example, Figure 3 when the insertion part 123 is connected to the interface card slot 106, both the insertion part 123 and the interface card slot 106 are located on an axis L1). In some embodiments, the motherboard 102 can be provided with multiple groups of interface card support modules 104. Specifically, the expansion connection parts 108 can be located on two side edges of the motherboard 102, and the two interface card support modules 104 can be respectively fixed to the expansion connection parts 108 on the two side edges of the motherboard 102, so that the two interface card support frames 112 are respectively located on two sides of the interface card slot 106. Thus, the two side edges of the interface card 122 can be supported by the interface card support frames 112 at corresponding positions.

[0071] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the expansion connection part 108 can be a screw hole, and the expansion board 110 can be locked to the expansion connection part 108 with a screw 101. In other embodiments, the expansion board 110 can also be fixed to the expansion connection part 108 by means of a snap structure, welding, magnetic attraction, etc.

[0072] In Figure 2 the motherboard 102 is placed in the Y-axis direction in the figure, and the interface card 122 can be in the X-axis direction in the figure, with the insertion part 123 inserted into the motherboard 102.

[0073] After the interface card 122 is installed on the motherboard 102, the interface card 122 can abut against the support surface 120 of the interface card support frame 112, so that the interface card support frame 112 can support the weight of the interface card 122. Thus, the insertion part 123 of the interface card 122 can maintain on the axis L1 with the interface card slot 106.

[0074] The foregoing "the assembling portion 118 can be selectively assembled in different regions of the assembling surface 116" may mean that the interface card support frame 112 can adjust the region where the assembling portion 118 is assembled on the assembling surface 116 according to the size of the interface card 122, so that the interface card support frame 112 can be correspondingly arranged at the position of the interface card 122. For example, in Figure 2 's embodiment, the interface card support frame 112 can adjust its position according to the long side of the interface card 122 (the length of the interface card 122 in the Figure 2 in the Z-axis direction). As shown in Figure 2 , the interface card support frame 112 can assemble the assembling portion 118 at the position of the assembling surface 116 in the horizontal direction (the Figure 2 in the Z-axis direction), so that the interface card support frame 112 is located between two sides of the interface card 122. In Figure 3 's embodiment, the interface card support frame 112 can adjust its position according to the thickness of the interface card 122 (the length of the interface card 122 in the Figure 3 in the Y-axis direction). So that the supporting surface 120 of the interface card support frame 112 can abut against the interface card 122. In addition, before the interface card 122 is assembled into the interface card slot 106, the interface card support frame 112 can assemble the assembling portion 118 of the interface card support frame 112 on the assembling surface 116 in advance according to the relative position between the supporting surface 120 and the interface card slot 106. And when the interface card 122 is inserted into the interface card slot 106, the position of the interface card support frame 112 is adjusted again.

[0075] Again, as shown in Figure 1 . In some embodiments, the assembling surface 116 has a slot 124. The foregoing "the assembling portion 118 can be selectively assembled in different regions of the assembling surface 116" may mean that the assembling portion 118 of the interface card support frame 112 can be slidably assembled in the slot 124 to adjust the position of the interface card support frame 112 relative to the assembling surface 116 in the horizontal direction (the Figure 1 in the Z-axis direction). In other embodiments, the assembling surface 116 can be designed with a plurality of slots (124, 124', 124"). These slots (124, 124', 124") are respectively located at different height positions. The foregoing "the assembling portion 118 can be selectively assembled in different regions of the assembling surface 116" may also mean that the assembling portion 118 of the interface card support frame 112 can be selectively assembled to one of these slots (124, 124', 124") to adjust the position of the interface card support frame 112 relative to the assembling surface 116 in the vertical direction (the Figure 1 in the Y-axis direction).

[0076] Please also refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown. Figure 4 For Figure 3Partial enlarged view of the middle region 4. In some embodiments, the slot 124' will be taken as an example hereinafter. The cross-section of the slot 124' has an opening 126, a first section 128 and a second section 130. The first section 128 communicates between the opening 126 and the second section 130, and the slot width of the first section 128 (the slot width is Figure 4 the length of the cross-section of the slot 124' in the Y-axis direction) is smaller than the slot width of the second section 130. Relatively, the assembling part 118 includes a first limiting block 132 and a second limiting block 134 connected to each other. The first limiting block 132 is slidably assembled in the first section 128, and the second limiting block 134 is slidably assembled in the second section 130. It should be noted that the width of the first limiting block 132 is smaller than the width of the second limiting block 134 (the width is Figure 4 the length in the X-axis direction). Among them, the width of the first limiting block 132 is smaller than or equal to the slot width of the first section 128 (the slot width is Figure 4 the length in the X-axis direction), the width of the second limiting block 134 is smaller than or equal to the slot width of the second section 130, and the width of the second limiting block 134 is greater than that of the first limiting block 132, so that the second limiting block 134 can be limited in the second section 130 to prevent the assembling part 118 from detaching from the slot 124' when the assembling part 118 slides in the slot 124'. The structures of other slots (124, 124") are similar to that of the slot 124', and please refer to the description of the slot 124'.

[0077] Again, Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown, the interface card support frame 112 has a stop block 136. The stop block 136 is connected to a relative surface 119 of the support surface 120 and is adjacent to the assembling part 118. When the interface card support frame 112 is assembled to the expansion board 110, the stop block 136 abuts against the assembling surface 116 of the expansion board 110. It should be noted that since the stop block 136 is located on the relative surface 119 of the support surface 120, after the interface card 122 abuts against the support surface 120, the stop block 136, the leading edge 125 and the support surface 120 can form a triangular fixation, so that the interface card support frame 112 will not sink due to the weight of the interface card 122 (that is, the interface card support frame 112 tilts Figure 3 in the Y-axis direction in the figure).

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is Figure 3 the partial enlarged view of the region 5 in the figure. The interface card support frame 112 further includes a fixing part 138 and a support member 140. The support member 140 is assembled to the fixing part 138 and protrudes from the support surface 120, and the support member 140 can selectively move relative to the fixing part 138 to change the position of the support member 140. For example, the support member 140 can move relative to the fixing part 138 within Figure 3the position of the Y-axis, or the support member 140 can move relative to the fixing portion 138 in Figure 3 the position of the X-axis (details will be described later).

[0079] For another example Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the support member 140 is a screw and the fixing portion 138 is a threaded hole. The support member 140 can selectively rotate relative to the fixing portion 138 to change the length of the support member 140 protruding from the support surface 120. Thus, the support member 140 can move relative to the fixing portion 138 in Figure 3 the position of the Y-axis. In some embodiments, the fixing portion 138 includes a first through hole 142 and a second through hole 144. The distance between the first through hole 142 and the expansion board 110 is different from the distance between the second through hole 144 and the expansion board 110. The support member 140 can be selectively assembled to the first through hole 142 or the second through hole 144. Thus, the support member 140 can move relative to the fixing portion 138 in Figure 3 the position of the X-axis. For example, when there is only a single support member 140, the support member 140 can be assembled to the first through hole 142 or the second through hole 144. When there are multiple support members 140 (such as Figure 3 the support member 140 and another support member 140' in the figure), one support member 140 can be assembled to one of the first through hole 142 and the second through hole 144, and the other support member 140' can be assembled to the other of the first through hole 142 and the second through hole 144. Thus, when there is a difference in height between the interface card 122 and the interface card support frame 112, the height of the support member 140 and / or the other support member 140' protruding from the support surface 120 can be selectively adjusted to contact and support the interface card 122, so that the insertion portion 123 of the interface card 122 can maintain a correct connection angle with the interface card slot 106.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 . Figure 6 This is a side view of the electronic device and the interface card support module in some embodiments of the present invention, showing that the support member is an elastic telescopic member. In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 the support member in the figure (for example Figure 3 the support member 140 in the figure) is an elastic telescopic member 146, and the connecting portion (for example Figure 3The middle fixing part 138) is a groove 148. Specifically, the elastic telescopic member 146 is located in the groove 148, and the elastic telescopic member 146 can change the length of the elastic telescopic member 146 protruding from the support surface 120 through its own elastic force. Thus, the elastic telescopic member 146 can cooperate with the position of the interface card 122 to expand and contract within the groove 148, and support the interface card 122 through the elastic force of the elastic telescopic member 146. In some embodiments, the elastic telescopic member 146 includes a sleeve 150 and an elastic member 152. Among them, one end of the elastic member 152 is connected to the sleeve 150, and the other end is connected to the groove 148. In the normal state, the elastic member 152 can push a part of the sleeve 150 out of the groove 148 to protrude from the support surface 120. The height of the sleeve 150 (the length of the sleeve 150 in the Figure 6 Y-axis direction in the Figure 6 is substantially equal to the depth of the groove 148 (the length of the groove 148 in the

[0081] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, it is a side view of the electronic device and the interface card support module, showing that the fixing part is a sliding groove, and the support member slides at different positions in the sliding groove. In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 the middle fixing part (such as Figure 3 the middle fixing part 138) is a sliding groove 154. The support member 140 can selectively slide relative to the sliding groove 154 to change the distance between the support member 140 and the expansion board 110. In some embodiments, the sliding groove 154 includes a support opening 156 and a set of slide rail openings 158. The support member 140 includes a support part 160 and an operation part 162. Among them, the support opening 156 is located on the support surface 120, so that the support part 160 can protrude from the support opening 156. The operation part 162 is pivotally connected to the set of slide rail openings 158. By actuating the operation part 162 to move the support member 140, the support member 140 slides along the set of slide rail openings 158 in the sliding groove 154.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, it is an assembly and disassembly diagram of the electronic device and the interface card support module, showing that the assembly surface is a fixing hole. Such as Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the assembly surface 116 has a plurality of fixing holes 164 arranged at intervals from each other. These fixing holes 164 are located at different height positions respectively. The assembly portion 118 of the interface card support frame 112 can be selectively assembled to one of these fixing holes 164. The assembly portion 118 of the interface card support frame 112 can be, for example, a convex post. After the assembly portion 118 is inserted into the fixing hole 164, the interface card support frame 112 can be fixed to the assembly surface 116 of the expansion board 110. The aforementioned "these fixing holes 164 are located at different height positions respectively" may mean that the plurality of fixing holes 164 are respectively located on a plumb line L2, and each fixing hole 164 is arranged at intervals from each other on the plumb line L2. The interface card support frame 112 can select a fixing hole 164 at an appropriate height (such as a fixing hole 164 adjacent to the interface card 122) according to the thickness of the interface card 122 ( Figure 8 the length in the Y-axis direction in), so that the assembly portion 118 is fixed to the selected fixing hole 164, and the interface card 122 can rest on the support surface 120.

[0083] Again, Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the assembly surface 116 has a plurality of fixing holes 164 arranged at intervals from each other. These fixing holes 164 are located at the same height position. The assembly portion 118 can be selectively assembled to one of these fixing holes 164. The aforementioned "these fixing holes 164 are located at the same height position respectively" may mean that the plurality of fixing holes 164 are respectively located on a horizontal axis L3, and each fixing hole 164 is arranged at intervals from each other on the horizontal axis L3. The interface card support frame 112 can select a fixing hole 164 at an appropriate horizontal position (such as a fixing hole 164 located between the two side edges of the interface card 122) according to the width of the interface card 122 ( Figure 8 the length in the Z-axis direction in), so that the assembly portion 118 is fixed to the selected fixing hole 164, and the interface card 122 can rest on the support surface 120.

[0084] Figure 8 In the embodiments of, each fixing hole 164 can also be arranged in a matrix on the assembly surface 116. The interface card support frame 112 can select a fixing hole 164 at an appropriate position (such as a fixing hole 164 adjacent to the interface card 122 and located between the two side edges of the interface card 122) according to the thickness and width of the interface card 122.

[0085] In summary, in some embodiments, the electronic device 10 includes a main board 102 and an interface card support module 104. The insertion portion 123 of the interface card 122 is inserted into the interface card slot 106 of the main board 102, and the interface card 122 can rest against the interface card support frame 112 of the interface card support module 104, so that the insertion portion 123 can maintain a correct connection angle with the interface card slot 106. It should be emphasized that the interface card support module 104 can be selectively assembled in different areas of the expansion board 110, so that the interface card support module 104 can be assembled to the position corresponding to the interface card 122 on the assembly surface 116 according to the size of the interface card 122, so that the interface card support module 104 can support interface cards 122 of different sizes, and prevent the insertion portion 123 from tilting in the interface card slot 106, resulting in damage to one of the insertion portion 123 and the interface card slot 106. In addition, when the interface card 122 does not fully rest against the interface card support frame 112, the support member 140 of the interface card support frame 112 can be selectively moved relative to the fixing portion 138, thereby changing the position of the support member 140 and supporting the interface card 122.
