Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of host chassis technology, and more particularly to a security device for computer network equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Most current computer cases use a fixed-size design, with the motherboard fixed inside the case by screws. This makes it inconvenient to replace hardware such as the CPU and memory modules later. Due to the limited space after the motherboard is installed, users often need to remove multiple screws when disassembling or upgrading hardware, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but may also cause the screws to strip or damage the motherboard due to frequent disassembly and reassembly.

[0003] On the other hand, traditional computer cases typically have multiple through-holes on the rear panel for installing hardware such as graphics cards and expansion cards. However, when no graphics card is installed, these through-holes are open and easily accumulate dust. Once dust enters the case, it may adhere to critical components such as the motherboard and heatsink, affecting heat dissipation efficiency and even causing hardware overheating or decreased stability.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a security device for computer network equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a security device for computer network equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A security device for computer network equipment includes a U-shaped plate. A front panel and a rear panel of a host are hinged to both sides of the U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate, the front panel, and the rear panel are combined to form a host chassis. A perforated mounting plate is fixed inside the U-shaped plate. A motherboard and graphics card mounting plate is fixed on the perforated mounting plate. A connecting groove is provided on the front side of the U-shaped plate, the front panel, and the rear panel. A glass plate is detachably installed in the connecting groove and fixes the U-shaped plate, the front panel, and the rear panel together. A ventilation slot is provided at the upper end of the U-shaped plate. A mounting plate opposite to the ventilation slot is installed at the upper end of the U-shaped plate. A cooling fan is installed on the mounting plate. A dust filter opposite to the cooling fan is detachably installed at the upper end of the mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a first mounting groove is provided through the front panel of the host, and a mesh plate is fixedly connected in the first mounting groove.

[0008] Preferably, a second mounting slot and a third mounting slot are provided through the rear panel of the host computer. The second mounting slot and the third mounting slot are arranged opposite to the motherboard graphics card mounting plate. Two sponge blocks are fixed in the second mounting slot, which are distributed vertically and abut against each other.

[0009] Preferably, a baffle is rotatably mounted in the third mounting slot, and a torsion spring is installed at the rotatable mounting point between the baffle and the rear plate of the main unit.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting groove is provided with four threaded grooves on the front plate and rear plate of the main unit, and the glass plate is provided with through holes that cooperate with the threaded grooves. Bolts pass through the through holes and are movably disposed. The bolts engage with the threaded grooves to fix the glass plate in the connecting groove.

[0011] Preferably, an installation frame is placed at the upper end of the mounting plate, and the dust filter is installed inside the installation frame.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate has four first mounting holes through it, and the mounting frame has four second mounting holes through it, with the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes being arranged opposite to each other.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting plate and the mounting frame are further included with four locking mechanisms. Each locking mechanism includes a mounting post fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped plate. The mounting post passes through and is slidably connected to the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. The mounting post has a locking hole. A slidably disposed collar is fitted on the mounting post. A slidably disposed locking rod passes through the collar. The locking rod is slidably connected in the locking hole. A pull block is fixed on the locking rod. A first spring is fixed on the pull block and the collar. A second spring is fixed at the bottom of the collar. A pressure ring is fixed at the bottom of the second spring. The pressure ring abuts against the upper end of the mounting frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Facilitates hardware installation and upgrades: The hinged design of the front and rear panels of the host allows for easy installation or upgrades by simply removing the glass panel, which then allows the front and rear panels to rotate outwards. This increases the operating space and makes it easier to install and remove hardware such as motherboards, graphics cards, memory modules, and hard drives, reducing the risk of stripped screws or motherboard damage caused by frequent screw removal and installation.

[0015] 2. Dustproof Design: When using integrated graphics and not requiring a dedicated graphics card, the motherboard's graphics card mounting plate is located inside the case, effectively preventing external dust from entering. The mesh panel on the front panel serves as an exhaust vent, while also preventing insects from entering the case. The foam pads on the rear panel allow peripheral cables to pass between two foam pads before entering the case; the foam pads, once reset, remain flush with the cables, effectively preventing dust from entering. The rear panel's baffle, using a torsion spring, automatically seals the third mounting slot when no peripheral connectors are connected, preventing dust from entering the case.

[0016] 3. Improved heat dissipation efficiency: The upper part of the main unit is equipped with ventilation slots and a cooling fan. The cooling fan draws outside air through the dust filter into the main unit and then exhausts it through the mesh panel on the front panel of the main unit, thus achieving air circulation inside the main unit and ensuring heat dissipation efficiency.

[0017] 4. The dust filter is removable for cleaning: The dust filter is mounted on the mounting plate via a mounting frame, and the mounting plate and mounting frame are secured together by a locking mechanism. When cleaning the dust filter is required, simply pull the lever to move the locking rod, disengaging it from the locking hole. Then, move the collar and mounting frame upwards to remove the dust filter for cleaning; the operation is simple.

[0018] 5. Structural Stability and Sealing: Sealing rings are installed at the points where the U-shaped plate meets the front and rear panels of the main unit to ensure a seal at the meeting points, improving the overall stability and dustproof effect of the main unit enclosure; the glass plate is fixed in the connecting groove by bolts and threaded engagement, fixing the U-shaped plate, the front and rear panels of the main unit together to form a stable main unit enclosure structure.

[0019] In summary, the front and rear panels of the main unit of this invention are hinged and rotatable, increasing the operating space after the glass plate is removed, which facilitates hardware installation and upgrades; the rear panel of the main unit is equipped with a sponge block and a baffle to effectively prevent dust; the cooling fan is equipped with a dust filter to ensure air circulation and heat dissipation; the locking mechanism facilitates the removal and cleaning of the dust filter. The overall design solves the problems of inconvenient hardware replacement and easy dust accumulation in traditional chassis, improving ease of use and hardware stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-7 A security device for computer network equipment includes a U-shaped plate 1. A host front plate 2 and a host rear plate 3 are hinged to both sides of the U-shaped plate 1. The host front plate 2 and the host rear plate 3 are connected to the U-shaped plate 1 by hinges. A sealing ring is installed at the point where the U-shaped plate 1 abuts the host front plate 2 and the host rear plate 3 to ensure a seal at the point of contact.

[0024] When installing the motherboard, the glass plate 8 needs to be removed. At this time, the front panel 2 and rear panel 3 of the host are no longer restricted, allowing them to rotate outward. The sides of the multi-hole mounting plate 14 are no longer blocked, making it easier to install the motherboard, graphics card, memory sticks, and hard drive, etc. The operating space is increased, making the installation more convenient.

[0025] Since the motherboard graphics card mounting plate 15 is located inside the host case, external dust will not enter the host case when using integrated graphics and not needing to install a graphics card.

[0026] The front panel 2 and rear panel 3 of the main unit are provided with a first mounting groove 4 through the front panel 2. A mesh plate 5 is fixedly connected in the first mounting groove 4. The first mounting groove 4 is an air outlet. The mesh plate 5 is set to prevent insects and other objects from entering the main unit housing.

[0027] The rear panel 3 of the host computer has a second mounting slot 10 and a third mounting slot 12 running through it. The second mounting slot 10 and the third mounting slot 12 are positioned opposite the motherboard and graphics card mounting plate 15. Two sponge blocks 11 are fixed inside the second mounting slot 10, arranged vertically. The two sponge blocks 11 abut against each other, and the peripheral cable enters the host computer case through the space between the two sponge blocks 11. The sponge blocks 11 can be reset to fit the peripheral cable, preventing dust from entering. A baffle 13 is rotatably installed inside the third mounting slot 12. A torsion spring is installed at the rotatable mounting point of the baffle 13 and the rear panel 3 of the host computer. When the peripheral plug is connected to the motherboard and graphics card, the baffle 13 is pushed, and a hand can enter the host computer case through the third mounting slot 12 for insertion. After use, the baffle 13 seals the third mounting slot 12 under the action of the torsion spring, preventing dust from entering the host computer case.

[0028] The U-shaped board 1, the front panel 2, and the rear panel 3 of the host are combined to form the host chassis. A multi-hole mounting plate 14 is fixed inside the U-shaped board 1. The multi-hole mounting plate 14 is used to install the motherboard, power supply, and hard drive. A motherboard and graphics card mounting plate 15 is fixed on the multi-hole mounting plate 14. The motherboard and graphics card mounting plate 15 has a through-hole for the motherboard and a slot for fixing the graphics card.

[0029] The front sides of the U-shaped plate 1, the front panel 2 of the main unit, and the rear panel 3 of the main unit are provided with connecting grooves 16. The connecting grooves 16 can be detachably installed with glass plates 8 and fix the U-shaped plate 1, the front panel 2 of the main unit, and the rear panel 3 of the main unit together. The inner wall of the connecting grooves 16 is provided with four threaded grooves 17 located on the front panel 2 of the main unit and the rear panel 3 of the main unit. The glass plate 8 is provided with through holes 30 that cooperate with the threaded grooves 17. Bolts 9 pass through the through holes 30 and are movably set. The bolts 9 are threadedly engaged with the threaded grooves 17 to fix the glass plate 8 in the connecting grooves 16.

[0030] The upper end of the U-shaped plate 1 is provided with a ventilation slot 18. The upper end of the U-shaped plate 1 is equipped with a mounting plate 19 opposite to the ventilation slot 18. A cooling fan 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 19. A dust filter 7 opposite to the cooling fan 31 is detachably installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 19. A mounting frame 6 is placed on the upper end of the mounting plate 19, and the dust filter 7 is installed in the mounting frame 6. The cooling fan 31 is connected to the plug-in module on the motherboard through a connecting wire.

[0031] The cooling fan 31 operates to deliver outside air through the dust filter 7 into the main unit chassis, and then exhausts it through the first mounting slot 4. This achieves air delivery to the inside of the main unit chassis, ensuring air circulation and enabling heat dissipation inside the main unit chassis.

[0032] The mounting plate 19 has four first mounting holes 20 through it, and the mounting frame 6 has four second mounting holes 21 through it. The first mounting holes 20 and the second mounting holes 21 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0033] It also includes four locking mechanisms for locking the mounting plate 19 and the mounting frame 6. The locking mechanism includes a mounting post 22 fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped plate 1. The mounting post 22 passes through the first mounting hole 20 and the second mounting hole 21 and is slidably connected to them. The mounting post 22 is provided with a lock hole 23. A slidably disposed collar 24 is sleeved on the mounting post 22. A slidably disposed locking rod 27 passes through the collar 24. The locking rod 27 is slidably connected in the lock hole 23. A pull block 25 is fixed on the locking rod 27. A first spring 26 is fixed on the pull block 25 and the collar 24. A second spring 28 is fixed at the bottom of the collar 24. A pressure ring 29 is fixed at the bottom of the second spring 28. The pressure ring 29 abuts against the upper end of the mounting frame 6.

[0034] When the dust filter 7 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the user only needs to pull the pull block 25 to move the locking rod 27, so that the locking rod 27 is disengaged from the locking hole 23. At this time, the collar 24 is no longer limited, and the collar 24 can be removed by moving it up. At this time, the mounting frame 6 is no longer squeezed, and the mounting frame 6 can be removed together with the dust filter 7 by moving it up, so that the dust filter 7 can be cleaned.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
