Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a floating adapter module, and in particular to an adapter module that can be adjusted for floating displacement in multiple directions such as axial and radial directions. Docking parts, external assembly elastic parts and elastic bodies are respectively assembled and connected on both sides of the base, so that the base can be assembled in the receiving space of the seat body to achieve the purpose of directional floating adjustment. Background Art

[0002] When the casings, circuit boards or panels (board-to-board) used in current electronic devices are combined, positioning screws with knobs, collars and screws are used for locking. The screws and collars can be fixed on the first panel, and the screw can be screwed into the second panel by rotating the knob to form a preset positioning. After the screw is tightened with a hand tool, the first panel and the second panel are locked and fixed together, and it can be used for board-to-board connection on equipment composed of multiple devices and mechanisms such as telecommunications cabinets, industrial computers, and machine tools.

[0003] When various electronic devices are implemented and applied, there will be heat generation problems. Therefore, how to assist heat dissipation so that various electronic devices can operate normally is also an important issue in the design and application of various electronic devices. Currently, the water cooling systems commonly used in various electronic devices for auxiliary heat dissipation install the water cooling devices (water circulation structures) of the water cooling system at the heat sources of various electronic devices [such as: central processing unit (CPU), chip, microprocessing chip or interface card, etc.], and then use water pipes to connect to external cold water circulation devices (such as: water tank, water pump motor, etc.) so that the water cooling system can form the effect of dissipating heat to the heat source through cold water circulation. However, currently, the connectors provided at the water cooling devices are used to dock and assemble with the connectors at the water pipes to allow the cold water in the water pipes to circulate into the water cooling devices. However, the connectors of the water cooling devices are directly fixed on the casings, circuit boards or panels of various electronic devices and cannot be adjusted or moved. Therefore, when assembling the water pipes, accurate alignment must be ensured without any deviation or skew. If the length of the water pipe is slightly longer or shorter, or due to the limitation or blockage of other components arranged around the heat source, it will affect the assembly operation of the water cooling device and the water pipe, causing inconvenience and trouble in the assembly operation, and also easily leading to damages or failures at the connection positions after assembly.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problems and troubles in the assembly and alignment during the connection when assembling the water cooling system at the casings or heat sources of current electronic devices, and the troubles and deficiencies such as damages or failures that are easily formed due to improper assembly are the directions that relevant manufacturers in this industry are eager to research and improve.

[0032] The two docking parts 2 are respectively assembled at the connection parts 11 on both sides of the base 1.

[0033] The floating unit 3 includes an elastic member 31 and an elastic body 32. The elastic member 31 is assembled at the receiving groove 12 of the base 1, and the elastic body 32 is assembled and passed through the shaft rod 13.

[0034] The housing 4 includes a receiving space 40 for the base 1 to be assembled and positioned. A through hole 41 with a reduced aperture is arranged on one side of the receiving space 40. An inner shoulder 42 is formed at the adjacent position of the through hole 41 and the receiving space 40 for one side of the elastic body 32 assembled on the shaft rod 13 to abut against. The outer side surface 411 of the through hole 41 opposite to the inner shoulder 42 is for the limiting part 14 on one side of the shaft rod 13 to abut against.

As for the limiting member 14 assembled on one side of the shaft rod 13 of the base 1, it can be a C-shaped snap ring, a gasket or a pin, etc.; and the first docking portion 21 and the second docking portion 22 of the two docking portions 2 can be respectively a quick joint, a quick socket, a male plug connector, a female socket connector or a water pipe joint, etc.

[0036] Furthermore, for the floating unit 3 of the present invention described above, the elastic member 31 can be a reed, etc. It can have an assembly hole 310 inside and be assembled and sleeved at the accommodating groove 12 of the base 1. One side abuts against the partition convex ring 121. The elastic member 31 in the shape of a reed can be in the shape of a ring body wave, a ring body cloud, a ring body tooth, or a regular or irregular shape of the ring body, a concave-convex shape of the ring body or a warped pad shape, etc.; the elastic member 31 in the shape of a reed forms a deformation adjustment space of ±1.5 mm, etc. in the horizontal (X-axis) left and right directions in the radial direction or ±2.0 mm, etc. in the vertical (Y-axis) up and down directions; and the elastic body 32 of the floating unit 3 can be a spring wound by a flat rectangular sheet body, etc. It can be wound into a ring shape in a wave-like undulating manner.
