Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manufacturing electrical component assemblies, in particular to a power supply housing and a power supply having the power supply housing. Background Art
[0002] In order to reserve space for the pins of the circuit board, the circuit board needs to be lifted and fixed in the power supply casing. Most casing designs on the market install circuit boards in the following way: the bottom shell is pneumatically riveted with iron (copper) columns. This method requires a processing step for the iron (copper) column materials and has high mass production costs. If the pneumatic pressure of the riveted iron (copper) columns is unstable or the tooling is worn, the copper columns may fall off, posing a certain quality risk; or the bottom shell is formed by extrusion convex bulge forming. This convex bulge forming method will thin the shell material, resulting in the screw threads being too short when installing the circuit board, and the screw installation torque failing to reach the standard installation torque. There will be quality risks if the screws are used for a long time. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0029] A power supply housing includes a bottom housing 1, the bottom housing 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 14 for installing a circuit board 2, and the circuit board 2 is fixed in the receiving cavity 14 by screws 3. Figure 1-2 As shown, it is a conventional connection structure between the circuit board 2 and the bottom shell 1.
[0030] Specifically, the bottom shell 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a side plate 12, and the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 are connected to form a bottom edge 13. In order to ensure the installation stability of the circuit board 2 and the bottom shell 1, the structure of the bottom shell 1 is improved, such as Figure 3 and 4As shown, the difference from the prior art is that a forming structure 4 for installing the circuit board 2 is formed on the bottom edge 13, and a screw hole 41 adapted to the screw 3 is provided on the forming structure 4, and the forming structure 4 and the bottom shell 1 are an integrated structure. The bottom shell 1 is a thin plate, and a forming structure 4 is formed on the bottom edge 13 of the bottom shell 1 by sheet metal processing for installing the circuit board 2. The forming structure 4 is formed by bending the bottom plate 11 and the side plate 12, which will not make the shell material thinner, and there is no need to install the rivet column 7 separately. The circuit board 2 can be locked on the forming structure 4 by the screw 3, ensuring the thread length of the screw 3, without slipping, and meeting the torque requirement of the screw 3. Among them, the thickness of the bottom shell 1 is generally not more than 2mm. If it is greater than 2mm, it can be formed by extruding aluminum plate and the like. In the case of not more than 2mm, the torque margin of the extruded aluminum plate is insufficient, and the batch reliability is low. In order to ensure the torque requirement, the above-mentioned forming structure 4 can only be used.
[0031] The forming structure 4 is L-shaped, and the forming structure 4 is bent inwardly to form a protrusion in the bottom shell 1. The inward bending forms a bulge, so that the circuit board 2 can be lifted and fixed, and a space is reserved for the pins on the lower surface 22 of the circuit board 2. The L-shaped right-angle structure can increase the support strength. After the circuit board 2 is placed on the forming structure 4, it is necessary to tighten the screws 3 with a torque gun to fix the circuit board 2. The L-shaped structure can provide more stable support, ensuring that it will not fail or deform under a torque of 6-8 kg.
[0032] Specifically, the molding structure 4 includes a horizontal plate 42 and a vertical plate 43, the horizontal plate 42 is connected to the side plate 12, the vertical plate 43 is connected to the bottom plate 11, and a gap 5 connected to the outside is formed between the molding structure 4 and the bottom shell 1, and the screw hole 41 is opened on the horizontal plate 42. The horizontal plate 42 is parallel to the bottom plate 11, so that the circuit board 2 is fully in contact with the horizontal plate 42 for support, which increases the support area to a certain extent, thereby increasing the stability. The gap 5 can be used for heat dissipation to prevent the internal temperature of the bottom shell 1 from being too high.
[0033] In order to protect the lower surface 22 of the circuit board 2 , rounded corners 44 are provided on the connecting surfaces of the horizontal plate 42 and the vertical plate 43 to prevent the molding structure 4 from causing damage to the circuit board 2 .
[0034] In order to facilitate the forming of the forming structure 4, the bottom shell 1 is provided with pre-grooves 51, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the forming structure 4 and extend to both ends of the forming structure 4. After the grooves are formed, the middle part of the two pre-grooves 51 only needs to be pushed into the bottom shell 1 to complete the forming. The bottom shell 1 is generally made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy. The use of this forming method can reduce the production cost to a large extent.
[0035] In order to ensure that the threading length of the screw 3 meets the requirements, the screw hole 41 is a stretching hole stretched toward one side of the horizontal plate 42, and a protrusion 411 is formed on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 42. When the M3 screw 3 is used for fixing, the length of the screw hole 41 is set to be not less than 1.5 times the thickness of the horizontal plate 42, and the length and width of the horizontal plate 42 are not less than 6mm, which can ensure the stability of the connection.
[0036] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, a power supply includes the above-mentioned power supply housing and a circuit board 2 arranged in the power supply housing. The circuit board 2 has a lower surface 22 and an upper surface 21 with components installed. The upper surface 21 of the circuit board 2 is arranged upward in the power supply housing.
[0037] In order to further fix the circuit board 2, a pressing plate 6 is also included. The pressing plate 6 is arranged above the circuit board 2 and against the components, such as Figure 7 and 8 As shown, squeezing the convex bump 8 will make the bottom plate 11 thinner. When the pressing plate 6 is fixed with the screw 3, the screw 3 needs to be locked and fixed with the nut 9 after passing through the convex bump, which is troublesome. Fig. 9 As shown, under the premise that the molding structure 4 does not change the original thickness of the shell, the stretching hole opened on the molding structure 4 can ensure the threading length of the screw 3. The screw 3 passes through the pressure plate 6 and the circuit board 2 in sequence and is screwed into the screw hole 41 of the molding structure 4, so that the pressure plate 6 can be effectively fixed.
[0038] The above description is only illustrative rather than restrictive of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, changes or equivalents may be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, but all will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
