[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 The first embodiment of the utility model proposes a memory prosthesis component, which includes: a memory prosthesis 1, which is used to be inserted into one of a plurality of vacant memory slots 5 arranged along a first direction a, and the memory prosthesis 1 is exposed in the memory slot 5 and is provided with a first connecting portion 11 on the air inlet side; a mounting bracket 2, which extends along the first direction a and has a second connecting portion detachably connected to the first connecting portion 11, and the mounting bracket 2 is provided with at least one slot 22 that does not correspond to the memory prosthesis 1 along the first direction a on a side away from the memory prosthesis 1; and at least one wind shield 3, which is inserted into the slot 22 along a third direction c, and the at least one wind shield 3 is used to shield the remaining at least one vacant memory slot 5 from the air inlet side; wherein the second direction b is the extension direction of the memory slot 5, the third direction c is the plugging direction of the memory prosthesis 1 and the memory slot 5, and the first direction a, the second direction b and the third direction c meet the vertical condition in pairs.

[0037] Specifically, the memory prosthesis assembly provided in the present embodiment is applied to electronic devices such as servers and hosts, and can be specifically installed on the memory slot 5 of the motherboard 4. The memory prosthesis assembly includes a memory prosthesis 1. The motherboard 4 is provided with a plurality of memory slots 5 arranged along a first direction a. When the memory bars on the motherboard 4 are not fully equipped, the memory prosthesis 1 can be plugged into one of the vacant memory slots 5. The memory prosthesis 1 is similar in size to the memory bars. The portion of the memory prosthesis 1 exposed in the memory slot 5 and provided with a first connecting portion 11 on the air inlet side for connecting to the mounting bracket 2; the mounting bracket 2 can be provided with a long strip-shaped plate structure extending along the first direction a, and the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a second connecting portion for detachably connecting to the first connecting portion 11. The detachable connection method of the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion can be, but is not limited to, one of snap-on, plug-in, and sliding connection, etc. The mounting bracket 2 is provided with a slot 22 along the first direction a on the side away from the memory prosthesis 1. The size of the slot 22 in the first direction a can correspond to and be adapted to a memory slots 5, or may also correspond to two or more memory slots 5. When the size of the slot 22 in the first direction a corresponds to only one memory slot 5, the number of the slots 22 is at least one. When the number of the slots 22 is only one, the position of the slot 22 in the first direction a is staggered with the position of the memory prosthesis 1. When the number of the slots 22 is more than one, the position of one slot 22 in the first direction a may correspond to the position of the memory prosthesis 1, or it may also be set that the positions of all the slots 22 are non-corresponding to the memory prosthesis 1. The slot 22 is used to install the wind shield 3. The memory prosthesis assembly has multiple wind shields 3, and the number of wind shields 3 installed can be determined according to the number of vacant memory slots 5, that is, the wind shield 3 is only inserted in the slot 22 corresponding to the vacant memory slot 5, and the wind shield 3 can be blocked by the air inlet side to prevent the fan air volume from reaching the vacant memory slot 5.

[0038] Among them, the number of second connecting parts on the mounting bracket 2 can be more than one, and they are arranged at intervals. The number of slots 22 on the mounting bracket 2 can be equal to the number of memory slots 5 in the area and correspond one to one. The height of each wind shield 3 in the third direction c can be set to adapt to the height of a memory slot 5 in this direction. When the size of the slot 22 in the first direction a corresponds to only one memory slot 5, the width of each wind shield 3 in the first direction a can be set to adapt to the width of a memory slot 5 in this direction (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 1As shown, when the size of the slot 22 in the first direction a corresponds to two or more memory slots 5, the width of each windscreen 3 in the first direction a can be set to match the width of one memory slot 5 in this direction, or can also be set to match the width of two or more memory slots 5 in this direction. In this case, as long as the size of the windscreen 3 in the first direction a is not greater than the size of the slot 22 in the first direction a.

[0039] Among them, the above-mentioned second direction b is the extending direction of the memory slot 5, that is, the length direction, and the third direction c is the direction in which the memory module is inserted into the memory slot 5, and is also the insertion direction of the memory prosthesis 1 and the memory slot 5. The first direction a, the second direction b, and the third direction c are respectively perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0040] Further, referring to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 3 In a specific implementation, the first connecting portion 11 includes: a supporting portion 111 and two limiting portions 112 that are disposed at intervals in the first direction a on the top side of the supporting portion 111. A first installation groove 113 adapted to the mounting bracket 2 is formed between the two limiting portions 112 and the supporting portion 111, so that the mounting bracket 2 is inserted into the first installation groove 113 along the second direction b; an elastic clamping portion 114 that can reciprocate along the third direction c is provided on the top surface of the supporting portion 111 and between the two limiting portions 112. The second connecting portion includes a clamping hole 21 formed on the mounting bracket 2 and corresponding to and adapted to the elastic clamping portion 114.

[0041] Specifically, in order to achieve the installation of the mounting bracket 2 and the memory prosthesis 1, in the technical solution adopted by the present utility model, the first connecting portion 11 mainly includes two parts, namely a supporting portion 111 and a limiting portion 112. The supporting portion 111 extends a certain distance along the second direction b, and its top surface is a supporting surface parallel to the main board 4 for supporting the mounting bracket 2. The limiting portion 112 can be set as a flat plate-like structure perpendicular to the supporting surface, and the number thereof is two and they are spaced apart in the first direction a. On the side of the two limiting portions facing away from the memory prosthesis 1, there are first mounting grooves 113 communicating with the supporting surface. The height of the first mounting grooves 113 in the third direction c is adapted to the thickness of the mounting bracket 2, so that the mounting bracket 2 can be inserted into the first mounting grooves 113 along the second direction b, thereby realizing the limiting effect on the mounting bracket 2 in the third direction c. On the supporting surface at the top of the supporting portion 111 and between the two limiting portions 112, there is an elastic clamping portion 114 that can reciprocate along the third direction c. The second connecting portion includes a clamping hole 21 opened on the mounting bracket 2 and corresponding to and adapted to the elastic clamping portion 114. With such a design, during the process that the mounting bracket 2 moves along the second direction b and is inserted into the first mounting grooves 113, the mounting bracket 2 presses the elastic clamping portion 114 to compress it downward. When the mounting bracket 2 is completely inserted into the first one, the position of the elastic clamping portion 114 corresponds to the position of the clamping hole 21, that is, the mounting bracket 2 cancels the pressing effect on the elastic clamping portion 114. The elastic clamping portion 114 returns to its initial form under the action of its elastic force and is located in the clamping hole 21, thereby being able to limit the position of the mounting bracket 2 in the first direction a and the second direction b and realizing the reliable installation of the mounting bracket 2 on the memory prosthesis 1.

[0042] Among them, referring to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 4 , in order to improve the positioning accuracy and convenience of the mounting bracket 2 and the memory prosthesis 1, two second mounting grooves 23 corresponding to and adapted to the two first mounting grooves 113 can be provided on the side of the mounting bracket 2 facing the memory prosthesis 1, so that when the mounting bracket 2 is inserted, the second mounting grooves 23 and the first mounting grooves 113 can be conveniently corresponded and inserted; further, for the convenience of inserting the mounting bracket 2, a guiding notch 1121 can be provided on the top side of the notch of the first mounting grooves 113 of the two limiting portions 112. The end surface of the guiding notch 1121 is an inclined surface for guiding the mounting bracket 2 to be quickly inserted into the first mounting grooves 113.

[0043] Further, referring to the attached Figure 1 , attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 6, in a specific implementation, the wind shield 3 includes: a wind shield plate 31 and a limiting end 32 located on the top side of the wind shield plate 31. The size of the wind shield plate 31 in the second direction b is adapted to the slot 22, and the size of the limiting end 32 in the second direction b is larger than the size of the slot 22.

[0044] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted by the present utility model, the wind shield 3 includes two parts of structures, namely a wind shield plate 31 and a limiting end 32. The wind shield plate 31 is the main structure of the wind shield 3 and is a flat plate structure. The height of each wind shield 3 in the third direction c can be set to be adapted to the height of a memory slot 5 in this direction. The thickness of the wind shield plate 31 is not specifically limited here. The width of the wind shield plate 31 in the first direction a can be set to be adapted to the width of a memory slot 5 in this direction. When the size of the slot 22 in the first direction a corresponds to two or more memory slots 5, the width of the wind shield plate 31 in the first direction a can also be set to be adapted to the width of two or more memory slots 5 in this direction; the width of the limiting end 32 in the second direction b is larger than the size of the slot 22 in this direction, and the size of the limiting end 32 in the first direction a is not specifically limited. Such a design can enable the wind shield plate 31 to pass through the slot 22 while the limiting end 32 is located on the top side of the mounting bracket 2, making the installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0045] Specifically, for the convenience of installing and disassembling the wind shield 3, so that the user can more conveniently hold the limiting end 32 to apply force, grooves 321 are respectively provided on the opposite two sides of the limiting end 32 in the first direction a. The design of the grooves 321 can facilitate the placement and application of force by the user's fingers; to improve the comfort of use, the opposite groove surfaces of the grooves 321 on both sides can be arc surfaces.

[0046] Further, referring to the attached Figure 2 and the attached Figure 4 , in a specific implementation, at least one positioning protrusion 322 is provided on the surface of the limiting end 32 facing the wind shield plate 31, and at least one positioning hole 24 corresponding to and adapted to at least one of the positioning protrusions 322 is provided on the mounting bracket 2.

[0047] Specifically, in order to achieve the accuracy and reliability of the positioning of the windshield member 3, in the technical solution adopted by the present utility model, a positioning structure that cooperates with each other can be provided on the limiting end 32 and the mounting bracket 2. For example, a positioning hole 24 corresponding to the limiting end 32 can be provided on the mounting bracket 2, and a positioning protrusion 322 corresponding to and adapted to the positioning hole 24 can be provided on the surface of the limiting end 32 facing the windshield 31. Vice versa, or a positioning protrusion 322 can also be provided on the mounting bracket 2, and a positioning hole 24 can be provided on the limiting end 32. Among them, the number of the positioning protrusion 322 and the positioning hole 24 is equal, and the number of both can be set to be more than one respectively. The cross-sectional shapes of the positioning protrusion 322 and the positioning hole 24 can be, but are not limited to, circular.

[0048] Further, referring to Appendix Figure 2 and Appendix Figure 4 In order to further improve the positioning effect of the windshield member 3, in a specific implementation, the number of the positioning protrusion 322 and the positioning hole 24 is respectively set to two. The two positioning holes 24 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the slot 22 in the second direction b, and the positions of the two positioning holes 24 are offset in the first direction a. Such a design can improve the reliability and strength of the positioning of each part of the windshield member 3 and can prevent the windshield member 3 from deflecting.

[0049] Further, referring to Appendix Figure 2 and Appendix Figure 6 In order to limit the reliability of the position of the windshield member 3 in the third direction c after installation, in a specific implementation, a limiting protrusion 311 extending along the second direction b is provided on at least one surface of the windshield 31 in the second direction b. In the third direction c, the distance between the limiting protrusion 311 and the limiting end 32 is adapted to the thickness of the mounting bracket 2. Such a design can, after the windshield 31 is installed, jointly play a role in maintaining the relative position of the windshield member 3 and the mounting bracket 2 through the cooperation of the limiting end 32 and the limiting protrusion 311. For the convenience of the installation and disassembly of the windshield member 3, the limiting protrusion 311 can be designed as a convex structure with an arc-shaped surface.
