Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fixing structure, in particular to a detachable processor fixing structure. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, the central processing unit (CPU) is fixed to the motherboard of the computer by a clip to prevent the central processing unit from detaching from the motherboard when the computer is moved, causing damage to the computer. The current processor clip (wire clip type) will generate pound force on the processor itself. When the processor is buckled and positioned, a downward pressure is applied during the buckling process to make the substrate and the processor fit tightly. The local force fixing method (uneven force) plus the pound force generated during the locking will cause the processor to bend. Furthermore, when the heat sink is subsequently locked on the processor, it must be assembled and fixed by the locking elements at the four corners around the heat sink. The locking points of the locking elements at the four corners are farther away and the pivot is longer, resulting in a more obvious bending effect. The processor may have a gap due to the bending effect. In addition, improper force (uneven force) during the locking process may also cause damage to the processor or the substrate carrying the processor.

[0003] Furthermore, the conventional method of disassembling the processor is to disassemble the locking elements (such as screws) locked at the four corners of the substrate to loosen the processor from the substrate. However, the screw removal process is cumbersome and the screws are small in size. If not carefully, the screws may fall or be lost, which increases the difficulty of assembly and disassembly and reduces the efficiency of assembly and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0052] Please also see Figures 1 to 5 The processor fixing structure 100 of the utility model is used to detachably fix a processor 1 on a substrate 2. The processor fixing structure 100 includes a base 10, an outer frame 20 and an inner frame 30. The base 10 is arranged on the substrate 2. The base 10 includes a receiving portion 11. The receiving portion 11 is used to install the processor 1. The outer frame 20 surrounds the base 10 and defines a frame space 21 corresponding to the receiving portion 11. In more detail, the frame space 21 forms a space between the receiving portion 11 of the base 10 and the outer frame 20. The outer frame 20 can be a square frame structure composed of two long sides and two short sides. Two opposite sides of the outer frame 20 respectively include a clamping groove 22. In this embodiment, two clamping grooves 22 are respectively arranged on the two short sides. In more detail, the outer frame includes a first surface 201 (upper surface) and a second surface 202 (inner surface). The first surface 201 and the second surface 202 are connected and perpendicular to each other. The engaging groove 22 is located on the short side and is recessed from the first surface 201 and extends to the second surface 202 to form a groove for engaging with the inner frame 30 .

[0053] The inner frame 30 is embedded in the frame space 21 between the accommodating portion 11 and the outer frame 20, that is, the inner frame 30 is embedded in the space in the second surface 202 of the outer frame 20. The inner frame 30 includes two elastic buckling elements 31 and two positioning frame bars 32. The two positioning frame bars 32 are respectively connected to the two elastic buckling elements 31. The two positioning frame bars 32 and part of the two elastic buckling elements 31 are located in the frame space 21. The two elastic buckling elements 31 are respectively engaged with the two engaging grooves 22, and the inner frame 30 positions the processor 1 in the accommodating portion 11. The two elastic buckling elements 31 are suitable for being elastically deformed along a first axial direction D1 (see Figure 4 ) is displaced toward the processor 1 so that the two elastic locking elements 31 clamp the processor 1 together to remove the processor 1 from the accommodating portion 11.

[0054] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the two positioning bars 32 of the inner frame 30 are respectively connected to the two elastic buckling elements 31, so that the inner frame 30 is a square frame structure that can be correspondingly engaged with the outer frame 20. The frame space 21 is used to accommodate the two positioning bars 32 and the two elastic buckling elements 31, and the processor 1 is engaged and positioned in the accommodating portion 11 by the inner frame 30 being engaged in the frame space 21.

[0055] like Figure 6 And cooperate Figures 3 to 5 As shown, Figure 6 yes Figure 2A schematic top view of the processor fixing structure assembled on a substrate. One end of each elastic buckling element 31 includes a pressing end 311, and the other end of the elastic buckling element 31 includes a force-bearing end 312 that can be pressed by a user. The force-bearing end 312 is correspondingly arranged at the engaging groove 22, and the pressing end 311 is movably abutted against the processor 1. More specifically, the force-bearing end 312 includes a protrusion 3121 corresponding to the engaging groove 22, and the inner frame 30 is embedded in the frame space 21 by the protrusion 3121 being embedded in the engaging groove 22. In addition, each elastic buckling element 31 also includes an elastic element 313 and a slide groove 314, and a portion of the elastic element 313 is located in the slide groove 314. Each elastic element 313 and the slide groove 314 are located between the force-bearing end 312 and the pressing end 311 of each elastic buckling element 31. Each elastic element 313 and the slide groove 314 are correspondingly arranged on a surface (lower surface) of each elastic buckling element 31 facing the base 10. The arrangement direction of the elastic element 313 and the slide groove 314 is to extend along a second axial direction D2 perpendicular to the first axial direction D1. The two side surfaces of each elastic buckling element 31 respectively include a protrusion 33 extending outward. The two inner surfaces of the outer frame 20 corresponding to the engaging groove 22 respectively include a limiting groove 24 for accommodating the protrusion 33. The two ends of the corresponding two elastic buckling elements 31 of the positioning frame strip 32 respectively have a gap 321 with the outer frame 20, and the gap 321 extends along the second axial direction D2 perpendicular to the first axial direction D1, and the limiting groove 24 is connected to the gap 321. When the force-bearing end 312 is pressed by the user, the protrusion 33 is displaced from the limiting groove 24 to the gap 321 along the first axial direction D1. Further by Figure 3 It can be seen that the inner frame 30 includes a specific structure of an elastic element 313 and a convex column 33. The two end portions of the elastic element 313 are respectively fixed to the positioning frame strip 32. The middle portion of the elastic element 313 can be locked to the inner wall of the protrusion 3121 by, for example, a screw 3131, so that the elastic buckling element 31 can be connected to the positioning frame strip 32 through the elastic element 313 and can be displaced relative to the positioning frame strip 32 by the elastic deformation of the elastic element 313. When the inner frame 33 is engaged with the outer frame 20, the elastic buckling elements 31 on both sides are pushed toward the center, and the elastic element 313 will be compressed and deformed, and the convex column 33 will be displaced and engaged into the limiting groove 24, so that the inner frame 30 and the outer frame 20 jointly clamp the processor 1 in the accommodating portion 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, the elastic element 313 is an elastic sheet structure, such as a spring sheet, but not limited thereto. The elastic element 313 extends along the second axis D2 to the gap 321 and is attached to the positioning frame bar 32. Figure 2 and Figure 3It can be seen that the two ends of the elastic element 313 are respectively attached to the second surface 202 of the outer frame body 20 corresponding to the positioning frame bar 32, and therefore, a gap 321 is set at the two ends of the positioning frame bar 32 corresponding to the second surface 202 of the outer frame body 20 to accommodate the elastic element 313.

[0057] In short, by applying force to the force-bearing end 312, the pressing end 311 is pushed to abut against the processor 1, and the protrusion 33 is pushed out of the limiting groove 24. The two ends of the processor 1 are respectively abutted and clamped by the pressing end 311, and the processor 1 can be removed from the accommodating portion 11. More detailed description will be given in the following description.

[0058] The following embodiments will describe the state of assembling the processor on the substrate and the process of disassembling the processor. Figure 6 And cooperate Figure 1 , the processor 1 is assembled and fixed on the substrate 2. In this embodiment, the substrate 2 can be a PCB board or a motherboard. First, the base 10 is locked on the substrate 2, and then the outer frame 20 is installed around the base 10. Then, the processor 1 is installed in the accommodating portion 11 in the frame space 21. The inner frame 30 is covered in the frame space 21 between the base 10 and the outer frame 20, and the inner frame 30 and the outer frame 20 are firmly engaged by engaging the boss 33 of the inner frame 30 into the limiting groove 24 of the outer frame 20. At this time, the force-bearing end 312 is not subjected to the pressing force, the boss 33 is limited in the limiting groove 24, the inner frame 30 and the outer frame 20 are interlocked with each other, and a reserved space 3111 is formed between the pressing end 311 and the processor 1 (see Figure 1 , Fig. 7A ), indicating that the processor 1 is not clamped by the pressing end 311 , so that the processor 1 is positioned in the receiving portion 11 , and the processor 1 is assembled on the substrate 2 .

[0059] Please continue reading FIG. 7A to FIG. 7B , Fig. 7A is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a processor fixing structure in an assembled state according to an embodiment of the utility model, Figure 7BIt is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a processor fixing structure in a disassembled state according to an embodiment of the utility model. When the processor 1 needs to be disassembled, the user can use the thumb and index finger to apply force to the force-bearing end 312 toward the processor 1 along the first axial direction D1, that is, the user's thumb and index finger respectively apply a pressing force toward the processor 1 to the force-bearing end 312, and the two elastic buckling elements 31 are pressed and move relatively toward the processor 1 along the first axial direction D1, and the boss 33 is displaced out of the limit groove 24 along the first axial direction D1, that is, the boss 33 is displaced from the limit groove 24 to the gap 321, and is taken out from the gap 321. At the same time, since the elastic element 313 is deformed by force and displaced in the slide groove 314, the two pressing ends 311 are pushed against the processor 1 to clamp the processor 1 together. At this time, the reserved space 3111 between the pressing end 311 and the processor 1 no longer exists, which means that both ends of the processor 1 are clamped by the pressing end 311 respectively, so that when the inner frame 30 is disassembled, the processor 1 is also taken out from the accommodating portion 11 of the base 10.

[0060] In summary, the present invention provides a detachable processor fixing structure, which solves the problem of bending caused by the installation of existing processors using a local force design, and replaces the existing processor installation and fixing method using locking elements (such as screws). The processor fixing structure of the present invention positions and assembles the processor through a mutually interlocking frame design, which can solve the problem of bending of the existing processor before the heat sink is installed, and can clamp and disassemble the processor at the same time as the frame is removed through elastic snap-fit ​​elements. In addition to not having to use screws to lock the processor, the processor can be more effectively disassembled by clamping the processor with two elastic snap-fit ​​elements, which improves the current design of fixing / disassembling the processor by screw locking.
