[0035] In order to fully understand the present utility model, the present utility model is described in detail through the following specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art can understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model from the contents disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that the present utility model can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the various details in this specification can also be modified and changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the utility model points of the present utility model. In addition, the drawings of the present utility model are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. The following implementation methods will further explain the relevant technical contents of the present utility model in detail, but the disclosed contents are not intended to limit the claims of the present utility model. The description is as follows:

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structural column 100 applied to the housing 200 of the power supply according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a column body 1 and two engaging portions 2 .

[0037] The column body 1 extends along the height direction h. The shape and material of the column body 1 are not limited, but preferably has an elongated shape (the longest side is along the height direction h) and is made of a light and strong material.

[0038] The two engaging portions 2 are respectively disposed on the first side S1 and the second side S2 of the column body 1. The first side S1 and the second side S2 are both perpendicular to the height direction h, and the angle between the first side S1 and the second side S2 is 90 degrees. The two engaging portions 2 are respectively protruding or recessed from the surface of the first side S1 and the second side S2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two engaging portions 2 are shown to protrude from the surfaces of the first side S1 and the second side S2 respectively. Figure 5A , which can be used to engage with the detachable side wall 5 of the housing 200 of the power supply. Figure 5B The two engaging portions 2a are respectively recessed from the surface of the first side S1 and the second side S2, and can also be used to engage with the detachable side wall 5a of the housing 200 of the power supply. In other words, the specific shapes of the two engaging portions are not limited, as long as the surfaces of the first side S1 and the second side S2 of the column body 1 are relatively undulating to achieve the engaging effect.

[0039] Through the structural column 100 of the utility model, the wall surface of the housing 200 of the power supply can be made removable (removable side wall 5), so that the removable side wall 5 can be used in a different way. For example, one or more surfaces of the removable side wall 5 can be changed to aluminum material to increase the heat dissipation of the power supply to the outside world; the aluminum material can be changed into a variety of colors and a variety of appearances such as bright surface and matte surface through anodizing. Alternatively, the removable side wall 5 can be changed to a transparent material or a translucent material, so that the condition of the power supply can be observed. Alternatively, a decorative object with lights or light guides can be added to the removable side wall 5 (to change the light propagation) to attract consumers to buy and increase the competitiveness of the product. The removable side wall 5 can also allow the side wall of the housing 200 of the power supply to be removable in a specific direction, which is more conducive to maintenance in the narrow space of the computer host.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the column body 1 is provided with a rounded corner 12, which is located at the diagonal of the intersection of the first side S1 and the second side S2. The rounded corner 12 is the corner facing outward after the column body 1 is installed, and the rounded corner can protect the components from damage and prevent the user from being injured.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the column body 1 is provided with locking holes 11 at both ends along the height direction h, which can be used to lock the base bottom wall 3 and the upper cover 4 of the housing 200 of the power supply (see FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 ). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the combination of the structural column 100 with the base bottom wall 3 and the upper cover 4 can be achieved by snapping or using other mechanical principles.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the structural column 100 is made of a transparent material, such as light-transmitting plastic. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the structural column 100 may be made of, for example, light-opaque plastic or metal.

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The utility model further provides a housing 200 of a power supply, which comprises: the aforementioned base bottom wall 3 , an upper cover 4 , a plurality of detachable side walls 5 and at least one structural column 100 .

[0044] The upper cover 4 is disposed opposite to the base bottom wall 3 , and a plurality of detachable side walls 5 surround the base bottom wall 3 to form an accommodating space for placing components such as a power supply, a circuit board, and a fan (not shown).

[0045] The structural column 100 is disposed between two removable side walls 5 among the plurality of removable side walls 5. Figure 5A and Figure 5B The two engaging portions 2 of the structural column 100 are respectively engaged with the two detachable side walls 5 to firmly connect the detachable side walls 5 .

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing 200 of the power supply further includes at least one base side wall 6 , and the plurality of detachable side walls 5 and the base side wall 6 surround the base bottom wall 3 . Figure 3 and Figure 4 The figure shows one base side wall 6 and three removable side walls 5, and two structural columns 100 are respectively connected between two adjacent removable side walls 5. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, two base side walls 6 and two removable side walls 5 may be used instead, and one structural column 100 is connected between two removable side walls 5. Alternatively, the housing 200 of the power supply does not have a base side wall 6, and its four sides are all removable side walls 5, and then the four structural columns 100 are respectively connected between any two adjacent removable side walls 5.

[0047] The aforementioned base side wall 6 can be integrally formed with the base bottom wall 3 or the upper cover 4, or connected to the base bottom wall 3 or the upper cover 4 through other mechanisms. The base side wall 6 and the detachable side wall 5 can also be connected by locking or snapping.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the structural column 100 is connected to the upper cover 4 and the base bottom wall 3 by locking. The column body 1 of the structural column 100 is provided with locking holes 11 at both ends along the height direction h, which can be used to lock the base bottom wall 3 and the upper cover 4.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the detachable side wall 5 is made of a transparent material, such as light-transmitting plastic. The advantages of the detachable side wall 5 being transparent or translucent have been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0050] The present invention has been disclosed in the above with preferred embodiments, but those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments are only used to describe the present invention and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that all changes and substitutions equivalent to the embodiments should be set as being included in the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the content scope defined in the claims.
