Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chassis component installation, in particular to a computer chassis component clamping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The computer case is the main part of the computer host. First of all, the case has the function of shielding electromagnetic radiation, which can protect users from the potential harm of electromagnetic radiation. Secondly, as the outer shell of the computer, the case can protect the internal hardware from physical damage from the outside and the intrusion of pollutants such as dust and moisture. The case is generally made of a combination of steel plates and plastics. The outer shell is high in hardness and mainly plays the role of protecting the internal components of the case. There are also brackets inside the case, which are mainly used to fix the motherboard, power supply and various drivers.

[0003] At present, a snap-on connection method is usually used when installing components inside a chassis. When the snap-on connection method is used, since air cooling is usually used inside the chassis, the air cooling will cause certain vibrations to the chassis, which will in turn have a certain impact on the stability of component installation. At the same time, the snap-on connection method is not convenient for removing components for maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a computer case component clamping mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0006] The utility model provides a computer case component clamping mechanism, aiming to solve the problems of inconvenient operation of the existing clamping mechanism proposed in the background technology.

[0007] (II) Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a computer case component clamping mechanism, comprising a mounting port opened at a corner of a mainboard and a threaded sleeve fixedly mounted on one end of the mainboard and adapted to the mounting port, an arc-shaped elastic plate being symmetrically arranged at one end of the threaded sleeve away from the mainboard, an annular clamping strip being fixedly mounted at one end of the arc-shaped elastic plate away from the threaded sleeve, a clamping groove corresponding to the threaded sleeve and the arc-shaped elastic plate being opened on the mounting frame, and receiving grooves adapted to the annular clamping strip being symmetrically opened in the clamping groove.

[0009] In order to solve the problem of stable use of the clamping mechanism, a rotating rod is threadedly connected in the threaded sleeve, and a tightening mechanism is provided at one end of the rotating rod located between the two arc-shaped elastic plates;

[0010] The tightening mechanism includes a bracket rotatably mounted at one end of the rotating rod and a support plate symmetrically arranged in the bracket, the support plate is rotatably connected to the bracket, and one end of the support plate away from the bracket is hinged to the arc-shaped elastic plate. After the clamping mechanism is installed, it can be tightened by the support plate, ensuring that the components can be used stably after installation.

[0011] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of stable installation of components, the arc-shaped elastic plate and the threaded sleeve are coaxially arranged, and the arc-shaped elastic plate and the threaded sleeve have the same wall thickness. The coaxial arrangement of the arc-shaped elastic plate and the threaded sleeve and the same wall thickness ensure that both can be inserted into the slot for installation at the same time.

[0012] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of engagement between the annular clamping strip and the receiving groove, the cross-sectional shape of the annular clamping strip is a trapezoid. The trapezoidal cross-sectional shape of the annular clamping strip ensures that it can engage with the receiving groove.

[0013] Preferably, in order to solve the operation problem of the rotating rod, an extension port coaxially arranged with the installation port is opened at one end of the main board away from the threaded sleeve, a rotating plate adapted to the extension port is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod away from the bracket, and an operating plate is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating plate away from the rotating rod. The rotating rod can be driven by the coordinated use of the rotating plate and the operating plate, which is convenient for operation.

[0014] Preferably, in order to solve the operation problem of the operation panel, the overall thickness of the operation panel and the rotating plate is at least greater than the depth of the expansion port. By setting the operation panel protruding from the expansion port, the operator can directly rotate the operation panel, which increases convenience.

[0015] (III) Beneficial effects

[0016] The computer case component clamping mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to use. By arranging a rotating rod and a support plate, through the cooperation of a threaded sleeve and a clamping groove, and the fixation of an arc-shaped elastic plate and an annular clamping strip, a stable connection between the component and the case is ensured, and the component is prevented from shaking or falling off during operation. At the same time, the design of the rotating rod makes it easy to install and remove the components. The arc-shaped elastic plate can be tightened or released by rotating the rotating rod, without the need for complicated tools or steps, thereby improving the operating efficiency.

[0023] The utility model provides a computer case component card connection mechanism, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the chassis component clamping mechanism includes a mounting port 1 provided at a corner of a mainboard and a threaded sleeve 2 fixedly installed at one end of the mainboard and adapted to the mounting port 1, an arc-shaped elastic plate 3 is symmetrically provided at one end of the threaded sleeve 2 away from the mainboard, the arc-shaped elastic plate 3 and the threaded sleeve 2 are coaxially arranged, the arc-shaped elastic plate 3 and the threaded sleeve 2 have the same wall thickness, an annular clamping strip 31 is fixedly installed at one end of the arc-shaped elastic plate 3 away from the threaded sleeve 2, and the cross-sectional shape of the annular clamping strip 31 is trapezoidal, a clamping groove 5 corresponding to the threaded sleeve 2 and the arc-shaped elastic plate 3 is provided on the mounting frame, and a receiving groove 51 adapted to the annular clamping strip 31 is symmetrically provided in the clamping groove 5;

[0024] A rotating rod 4 is threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 2, and a tightening mechanism 41 is provided at one end of the rotating rod 4 located between the two arc-shaped elastic plates 3;

When disassembling the mainboard, the rotating rod 4 can be reversed. At this time, the support plate 412 can gradually tilt and enter to pull the arc-shaped elastic plate 3 to tilt. When the arc-shaped elastic plate 3 tilts, it can drive the annular clamping strip 31 to move out of the receiving groove 51, and the mainboard can be removed from the mounting bracket.

[0027] Furthermore, an extension port 11 coaxially arranged with the installation port 1 is opened at one end of the main board away from the threaded sleeve 2, a rotating plate 42 adapted to the extension port 11 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 4 away from the bracket 411, and an operating panel 421 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating plate 42 away from the rotating rod 4; the rotating plate 42 and the operating panel 421 can be located in the extension port 11 after the installation of the chassis components is completed, and the rotating plate 42 and the rotating rod 4 can be driven to rotate by rotating the operating panel 421, thereby driving the rotating rod 4.

[0028] Specifically, the overall thickness of the operation panel 421 and the rotating plate 42 is at least greater than the depth of the expansion port 11 , ensuring that the operator can touch the operation panel 421 to operate.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
