[0065] The following will disclose various embodiments of the present invention in the form of drawings. For the sake of clarity, many practical details will be described in the following description. However, those skilled in the art should understand that these practical details are not necessary in some embodiments of the present invention and should not be used to limit the present invention. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings, some commonly used structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner. In addition, for the convenience of readers, the sizes of the components in the drawings are not shown in actual proportion.
[0066] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is an exploded view of an expansion card module 100 and a circuit board device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a combination of an expansion card module 100 and a circuit board device 200. In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 10 includes an expansion card module 100 and a circuit board device 200. The circuit board device 200 includes a circuit board module 210 and a disassembly aid component 300. The circuit board module 210 includes a circuit board body 211 and a slot component 220, and the slot component 220 is fixed to the circuit board body 211. More specifically, the front surface 211T of the circuit board body 211 has a circuit pattern 212, and the slot component 220 is fixed to the front surface 211T of the circuit board body 211 and electrically connected to the circuit pattern 212 of the circuit board body 211. The slot component 220 is in the shape of an elongated strip, that is, the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot component 220 and the short axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the circuit board body 211 are parallel to each other.
[0067] The expansion card module 100 includes a narrow and long card body 110, a connection interface 120 and a buckle portion 130. The connection interface 120 and the buckle portion 130 are located together on the long side 111 of the narrow and long card body 110, and the connection interface 120 can be removably inserted into the slot component 220. More specifically, the front surface 211T of the circuit board body 211, the slot component 220 and the long side 111 of the narrow and long card body 110 together define a narrow and long gap G. The long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the narrow and long gap G is parallel to the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot component 220, and the buckle portion 130 of the narrow and long card body 110 extends from the long side 111 of the narrow and long card body 110 into the narrow and long gap G ( Figure 2 The connection interface 120 (e.g., a gold finger) extends downward from the long side 111 of the elongated card body 110 and is electrically connected to the circuit pattern 212 of the circuit board body 211 through the slot element 220. The buckle portion 130 is L-shaped, with one side adjacent to the connection interface 120 and the other side forming a fastening notch 131 ( Figure 1 In this embodiment, the circuit board body 211 is, for example, a motherboard; the slot element 220 is, for example, a PCIe slot; and the expansion card module 100 is, for example, a display card device, however, the invention is not limited thereto.
[0068] The disassembly aid component 300 is telescopically located on the circuit board module 210 and in the narrow gap G. The telescopic direction (e.g., Y axis) of the disassembly aid component 300, the long axis direction (e.g., Y axis) of the slot element 220, and the long axis direction (e.g., Y axis) of the narrow gap G are parallel to each other. In this way, the disassembly aid component 300 can be linearly telescopic on the circuit board module 210, between the narrow card body 110 and the circuit board body 211 (i.e., in the narrow gap G), so as to extend into or out of the fixing notch 131 of the buckling portion 130.
[0069] It should be understood that the narrow gap G formed between the circuit board body 211, the slot element 220 and the narrow card body 110 is quite limited and is an idle space on the circuit board device 200. Therefore, the disassembly aid component 300 is disposed in the narrow gap G without occupying the space of the circuit board module 210, which helps to improve the space configuration flexibility in the electronic device 10.
[0070] Figure 3 for Figure 1 The exploded view of the disassembly aid assembly 300 is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the disassembly aid assembly 300 includes a guide member 360, a hook member 310 and a power device 350. The hook member 310 is linearly movable on the circuit board body 211, and the hook member 310 moves linearly along the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot element 220. The front part of the hook member 310 is slidably located on the guide member 360, that is, the hook member 310 can slide back and forth linearly on the guide member 360, and the rear part is fixedly connected to the power device 350 by bolts B. The power device 350 is fixed on the circuit board body 211, and is used to drive the hook member 310 to perform telescopic movement. Therefore, the hook member 310 can be buckled or retracted away from the buckling portion 130 along the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot element 220.
[0071] In addition, the hook fastener 310 includes a narrow and long body 320, a long hole 321 and a hook body 330. The hook body 330 is connected to the narrow and long body 320, and the hook body 330 is used to extend into the fastening notch 131 of the buckling part 130 and abut against the buckling part 130. The long hole 321 is provided on the narrow and long body 320, and the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the long hole 321 is parallel to the telescopic direction (such as the Y axis) of the disassembly aid component 300. The shaft column 230 is vertically provided on the circuit board body 211 and penetrates into the long hole 321. In this way, when the hook fastener 310 performs a telescopic movement, the shaft column 230 can be displaced correspondingly in the long hole 321, thereby limiting the telescopic stroke of the hook fastener 310.
[0072] Moreover, the hook member 310 further includes a handle portion 340. The handle portion 340 and the hook body 330 are respectively located at two opposite ends of the narrow and long body 320. The handle portion 340 extends horizontally from the narrow and long body 320 to the narrow and long gap G, and the handle portion 340 extends upward (such as the Z axis). Therefore, even if the power device 350 stops operating, the user can still use the handle portion 340 to pull the hook member 310 away from the fastening notch 131 of the fastening portion 130 along the Y axis without relying on the operation of the power device 350, so that the user can smoothly remove the expansion card module 100 from the slot component 220.
[0073] Figure 4A and Figure 4BThe following are operation diagrams of the disassembly aid assembly 300 in different states. Figure 4A As shown, when the connection interface 120 of the expansion card module 100 is inserted into the slot element 220 and the buckling portion 130 of the narrow card body 110 is located in the narrow gap G, the power device 350 is driven to drive the hook member 310 to enter the fastening notch 131 of the buckling portion 130 along the first direction D1 and directly abut against the buckling portion 130, thereby completing the step of locking the expansion card module 100 ( Figure 4B ). On the contrary, Figure 4B As shown, when the power device 350 is driven to drive the hook member 310 to linearly disengage the fastening notch 131 of the fastening portion 130 along the second direction D2, the step of unlocking the expansion card module 100 is completed ( Figure 4A Thus, since the hook member 310 no longer limits the expansion card module 100 , the user can remove the expansion card module 100 smoothly.
[0074] In the above-mentioned present embodiment, for example, the power device 350 is a solenoid valve device. The solenoid valve device includes a fixing frame 351, a valve body 352, a valve shaft 353 and a solenoid switch (not shown). The fixing frame 351 is fixed on the circuit board body 211, the valve body 352 is fixed on the fixing frame 351, the valve shaft 353 is telescopically arranged on the valve body 352, and one end of the valve shaft 353 is fixedly connected to the narrow and long body 320 by a bolt B. Therefore, when the solenoid switch is turned on, the solenoid valve device allows the valve shaft 353 to be pulled on the valve body 352 along the second direction D2, so that it completes the unlocking step of the expansion card module 100 ( Figure 4A ).
[0075] Figure 5 for Figure 2 A partial cross-sectional view along line segment AA. More specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide member 360 includes a columnar body 361, a narrow channel 362 and a guide rail portion 363. The columnar body 361 is fixed on the circuit board body 211 and is located between the power device 350 and the slot element 220. In the present embodiment, the columnar body 361 is directly connected to the slot element 220, however, the invention is not limited thereto. The narrow channel 362 is formed on the columnar body 361, and movably accommodates the hook and fastener 310 therein. The long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the narrow channel 362 is parallel to the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot element 220. The guide rail portion 363 is formed in the narrow channel 362, and can slidably engage the hook and fastener 310, so that the outer edge 312 of the hook and fastener 310 can be connected to the guide rail portion 363, thereby guiding the hook and fastener 310 to slide back and forth in the narrow channel 362.
[0076] However, the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the power device 350 may also be a cylinder or a motor. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the disassembly aid assembly 300 may also omit the power device 350 and / or the guide member 360 (described below). In addition, based on other requirements or limitations, in other embodiments, the guide member 360 may not necessarily be directly connected to the slot element 220.
[0077] Figure 6 This is a top view of the disassembly aid component 301 of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment is substantially the same as the above embodiment, and the difference is that the narrow channel 372 further accommodates the power device 350. More specifically, the guide member 370 continues to extend along the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot element 220, so that the power device 350 can be accommodated in the narrow channel 372 of the columnar body 371, so that the linear extension and retraction work of the power device 350 to the hook fastener 310 can be performed in the narrow channel 372, reducing the risk of interference or damage by foreign objects.
[0078] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a partial schematic diagram of an expansion card module 100 and a disassembly aid component 301 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment is substantially the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, and the difference is that the disassembly aid assembly of this embodiment does not have the above-mentioned power device 350 and guide members 360, 370. More specifically, a linear guide groove 240 is formed on the front side 211T of the circuit board body 211. The long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the linear guide groove 240 is parallel to the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot element 220, and the linear guide groove 240 is located within the orthographic projection range from the long side 111 of the narrow and long card body 110 to the front side 211T of the circuit board body 211. The hook fastener 311 has a guide post 322, and the guide post 322 extends downward from the bottom surface 313 of the hook fastener 311 into the linear guide groove 240, so that the hook fastener 311 can be linearly moved on the linear guide groove 240, so as to move to or away from the buckling portion 130 along the long axis direction (such as the Y axis) of the slot element 220.
[0079] Thus, through the above structure, the electronic device of the present invention helps the user to quickly and conveniently install or remove the expansion card, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0080] Finally, the above disclosed embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all of them can be protected by the present invention.
