DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The first aspect of the utility model provides a radiator bracket, including a limiter 1, a limiter 2 and a first support member 3; at least one pair of first holes 11 are respectively provided at both ends of the limiter 1, and the distance between the first holes 11 at both ends is 120mm-150mm; at least one pair of second holes 21 are respectively provided at both ends of the limiter 2, and the number of the second holes 21 and the first holes 11 are equal and the positions correspond; at least two first support members 3 are arranged, and each of the first support members 3 is provided with a third hole 31 at both ends, and the third hole 31 is bolted to the first hole 11 and the second hole 21 respectively; wherein the limiter 1 and the limiter 2 are respectively located at the two short edges of the top surface of the chassis.

Fans are installed on both air-cooled radiators and water-cooled radiators. The sizes of the fans are 80 mm in length and width, 120 mm in length and width, and 140 mm in length and width. The distance between the first holes 11 at both ends of the limiting member 1 is set to 120 mm to 150 mm to accommodate fans of different specifications. When the length and width of the fan are smaller than the distance between the first holes 11 at both ends of the limiting member 1, the water-cooled radiator is placed obliquely so that it is connected above or below the first support member 3, or a fixing member is added so that the water-cooled radiator is connected to the fixing member, the fixing member is connected to the first support member 3, and the water-cooled radiator is indirectly connected and fixed to the first support member 3. Compared with the method of connecting the water-cooled radiator and the first support member 3 with a fixing member, the method of placing the water-cooled radiator obliquely is simpler, and the method of placing the water-cooled radiator obliquely is preferred.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a pair of first holes 11 are respectively provided at both ends of the limiting member 1, and the distances between the first holes 11 at both ends are 120 mm and 140 mm respectively; so as to adapt to the common computer fans with a length and width of 120 mm or a length and width of 140 mm on the market.

[0025] In some embodiments, a connecting member 7 is included, and the connecting member 7 is a columnar structure. The connecting member 7 plays a role in supporting and fixing the limiting member 1 in the chassis; the columnar structure makes the connecting member 7 more solid and not easy to deform.

[0026] In some embodiments, the stopper 1 is an obtuse triangle, and a sixth hole 12 is protruding outward at the obtuse angle of the stopper 1, and a seventh hole 71 matching the sixth hole 12 is opened at one end of the connector 7. Bolts are used to penetrate the sixth hole 12 and the seventh hole 71 in sequence to fix the stopper 1 and the connector 7. The stopper 2 is connected to the rear side panel of the chassis and maintained at the same horizontal plane as the stopper 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, it also includes a limit member 3 4 and a second support member 5, at least two limit members 3 4 are provided, at least one pair of fourth holes 41 are provided at both ends of the limit member 3 4, and the distance between the fourth holes 41 at both ends is 120 mm to 150 mm respectively; at least two second support members 5 are provided, and the second support member 5 is provided with a fifth hole 51 matching the fourth hole 41.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the fourth hole 41 is located on the side of the second support member 5, and a pair of fourth holes 41 are respectively provided at both ends of the limit member 3 4, and the distances between the fourth holes 41 at both ends are 120 mm and 140 mm respectively; the second support member 5 is provided with two, and the fourth hole 41 and the fifth hole 51 are connected by bolts to fix the limit member 3 4 and the second support member 5.

[0029] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the stopper 3 4 is an obtuse triangle, and a groove 42 is provided at the obtuse angle, and the groove 42 is connected to one side of the connecting member 7. Corresponding holes are provided on one side of the connecting member 7 and at the groove 42 of the stopper 3 4, and screws are passed through the holes to fix the stopper 3 4 to the connecting member 7. The screw fixing method and the groove 42 snap-in method are used in combination, so that the connection between the stopper 3 4 and the connecting member 7 is more stable.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first support member 3 has at least two sizes, the length of size 1 is 360 mm to 420 mm, and the length of size 2 is greater than or equal to 480 mm. The first support member 3 is set in different sizes to adapt to water-cooled radiators and air-cooled radiators of different specifications. Conventional water-cooled radiators and air-cooled radiators are provided with three fans connected in a row. The common sizes of fans are 120 mm in length and width and 140 mm in length and width. A small number of water-cooled radiators and air-cooled radiators use four fans.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first support member 3 and the second support member 5 are both provided with evenly distributed long holes 6. The long holes 6 can be used to connect the corresponding holes on the water-cooled radiator and the air-cooled radiator. The long holes 6 are long strips and evenly distributed on the first support member 3 and the second support member 5. No matter the water-cooled radiator and the air-cooled radiator are placed obliquely on the first support member 3 or the second support member 5, or the water-cooled radiator and the air-cooled radiator are placed parallel to the first support member 3 or the second support member 5, the water-cooled radiator and the air-cooled radiator can be fixed on the first support member 3 or the second support member 5.

[0032] In some embodiments, a convex strip is provided in the middle of one side of the first support member 3 and the second support member 5, and the place where the first support member 3 and the second support member 5 connect the convex strip is a "﹁"-shaped structure. The third hole 31 is provided at both ends of the first support member 3 where no convex strip is provided, and the "﹁"-shaped structure enables the first support member 3 to be just engaged with the limit member 1 and the limit member 2 2, and the fifth hole 51 is provided at both ends of the second support member 5 where no convex strip is provided, and the "﹁"-shaped structure enables the second support member 5 to be just engaged with the limit member 3 4. The provision of the convex strip further plays a limiting role.

[0033] In some embodiments, the stopper 1 and the stopper 2 are each provided with two slots, and the first hole 11 and the second hole 21 are located in the slots. The first support member 3 is fixedly connected in the slots, and the arrangement of the slots makes the surfaces of the stopper 1 and the stopper 2 more flat after the first support member 3 is connected to the stopper 1 and the stopper 2, so that the water-cooled radiator or the air-cooled radiator is more stable when it is installed.

[0034] The second aspect of the present invention also provides a chassis, comprising the above-mentioned radiator bracket. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the radiator bracket is located inside the chassis, and together with the chassis outer panel and the components inside the chassis, constitute the chassis.

[0035] How it works:

[0036] In the initial state, the chassis is not equipped with a computer radiator. According to the user's needs, a water-cooled radiator or an air-cooled radiator is selected. A conventional water-cooled radiator with three fans of 120mm in length and width is taken as an example.

[0037] First, open the outer panel of the chassis to expose the radiator bracket, adjust the first support member 3 to the first hole 11 with a distance of 120mm between the two ends of the limit member 1 and the second hole 21 with a distance of 120mm between the two ends of the limit member 2, use bolts to penetrate the third hole 31 and the first hole 11, the third hole 31 and the second hole 21 respectively, and fix the two ends of the first support member 3 to the limit member 1 and the limit member 2 2 respectively. Then place the water-cooled radiator directly above or directly below the first support member 3 in a direction parallel to the first support member 3. Complete the assembly of the water-cooled radiator.

[0038] When it is necessary to add other water-cooled radiators or air-cooled radiators, the water-cooled radiators or air-cooled radiators can be fixedly connected to the second support member 5 in the manner described above, and the distance between the two limiting members three 4 on the connecting member 7 can be adjusted according to the size and number of fans on the water-cooled radiator or air-cooled radiator. Then, according to the size of the fans on the water-cooled radiator or air-cooled radiator, the second support member 5 can be fixed to the fourth holes 41 at the same end of two different limiting members three 4 respectively. Finally, the water-cooled radiator or air-cooled radiator can be fixedly connected to the same side of the two second support members 5 through the long holes 6.
