Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This case relates to an expansion card. Background Art
[0002] As the performance of graphics cards continues to improve, the weight of the heat dissipation components provided on the graphics cards is also increasing. When the graphics card is subjected to an external force, for example, the graphics card is impacted, or the host into which the graphics card is inserted is toppled over, the relatively heavy heat dissipation components cause the graphics card to become skewed. The existing graphics card is prone to break from the hook portion, and the fracture will extend towards the body of the graphics card, damaging the body of the graphics card and thus affecting the functionality of the graphics card. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] An expansion card in this case includes a body, a port, and a hook portion. The port extends from the body. The hook portion extends from the body and is located beside the port. The hook portion includes a plurality of holes arranged linearly.
[0004] Based on the above, since the hook portion of the expansion card in this case has a plurality of holes arranged linearly, when the expansion card is subjected to an external force, the fracture of the hook portion will form along the holes. Such a design can prevent the body of the expansion card from being damaged and thus avoid affecting the functionality of the expansion card.
[0005] To make the above features and advantages of this case more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments are given below and will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows. Description of the Drawings

[0023] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an expansion card according to an embodiment of the present case. Figure 2 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged schematic diagram of the expansion card at position A of Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the expansion card 100 of the present case is, for example, a display card, a network card or a sound card, but is not limited thereto. The expansion card 100 of this embodiment includes a body 110, a port 120 and a hook portion 130. The port 120 extends from the body 110. The hook portion 130 extends from the body 110 and is located beside the port 120. The hook portion 130 includes a plurality of holes 131 arranged linearly. Accordingly, when the expansion card 100 is subjected to an external force, for example, the expansion card 100 is impacted, or the host into which the expansion card 100 is inserted topples over, causing the relatively heavy heat dissipation component to make the expansion card 100 skew, the fracture of the hook portion 130 will form along the holes 131. Such a design can prevent the body 110 of the expansion card 100 from being damaged, and further prevent the functionality of the expansion card 100 from being affected.
[0024] In this embodiment, the number of holes 131 is five, but the number of holes 131 is not limited thereto.
[0025] In this embodiment, the port 120 is, for example, a PCIE connection port and is adapted to be detachably disposed in a slot structure (not shown) of a motherboard (not shown), but the type of the port 120 is not limited thereto.
[0026] In this embodiment, the hook portion 130 and the body 110 are integrated, but are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the hook portion can also be fixed to the body by fasteners.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 2, in this embodiment, these holes 131 are arranged in a straight line, but the inclination angle of the straight line formed by the arrangement of these holes 131 and the shape of the line segment formed by the arrangement of these holes 131 are not limited to what is shown in the figure.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 , one of these holes 131 is recessed in the edge 133 of the hook portion 130. In this embodiment, for example, the rightmost hole 131 is recessed in the edge 133 of the hook portion 130. And, several of these holes 131 are located inside the hook portion 130. In this embodiment, for example, the four left holes 131 are located inside the hook portion 130.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 , there is a first groove 140 between the hook portion 130 and the body 110, and the edge 133 of the hook portion 130 is the first edge 141 that locally defines the first groove 140. In addition, there is a second groove 150 between the hook portion 130 and the port 120, and the edge 133 of the hook portion 130 includes a second edge 151 that locally defines the second groove 150.
[0030] Among those of these holes 131 that are located inside the hook portion 130 (the four left ones), the shortest distance D1 between the one closest to the first edge 141 (the rightmost one among the four left ones) and the first edge 141 is less than the shortest distance D2 between the one closest to the second edge 151 (the leftmost one among the four left ones) and the second edge 151. That is to say, these holes 131 lean towards the first edge 141, and there are no holes 131 in the area leaning towards the second edge 151. Accordingly, the hook portion 130 can maintain its structural strength to be inserted into a fixing groove (not shown) on the main board, and when the hook portion 130 breaks, the fracture will form along these holes 131.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, several of these holes 131 (the four left ones) are located inside the hook portion 130, and these holes 131 located inside the hook portion 130 are arranged at equal intervals, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, these holes 131 can also be arranged at unequal intervals.
[0032] Figure 3 is a partially enlarged schematic view of an expansion card according to another embodiment of this case. Please refer to Figure 3 , the main difference between the expansion card 100a of this embodiment and the Figure 2 expansion card 100 lies in the positions of these holes 131.
[0033] In this embodiment, the leftmost one of these holes 131 is recessed from the edge 133 of the hook portion 130a. In addition, among those of these holes 131 that are located inside the hook portion 130a (the four on the right), the shortest distance D3 between the one closest to the second edge 151 (the leftmost one of the four on the right) and the second edge 151 is less than the shortest distance D4 between the one closest to the first edge 141 (the rightmost one of the four on the right) and the first edge 141. That is to say, these holes 131 are closer to the second edge 151, and there are no holes 131 in the area closer to the first edge 141. Accordingly, the hook portion 130a can maintain its structural strength to be inserted into the fixing groove on the main board, and when the hook portion 130a breaks, the fracture will form along these holes 131. Figure 3 The remaining configurations and modes of operation of the expansion card 100a of the illustrated embodiment are the same as or similar to those of the foregoing Figure 2 illustrated embodiment of the expansion card 100, and will not be described herein again.
[0034] Figure 4 is a partial enlarged schematic view of an expansion card according to another embodiment of this case. Please refer to Figure 4 , the main difference between the expansion card 100b of this embodiment and the Figure 2 expansion card 100 lies in the shape formed by arranging these holes 131. In this embodiment, these holes 131 are arranged in an arc.
[0035] In this embodiment, the shape of the arc is such that the arc mouth faces the body 110, but this is not a limitation. Figure 4 The remaining configurations and modes of operation of the expansion card 100b of the illustrated embodiment are the same as or similar to those of the foregoing Figure 2 illustrated embodiment of the expansion card 100, and will not be described herein again.
[0036] Figure 5 is a partial enlarged schematic view of an expansion card according to still another embodiment of this case. Please refer to Figure 5 , the main difference between the expansion card 100c of this embodiment and the Figure 2 expansion card 100 is that all of these holes 131 of this embodiment are located inside the hook portion 130c. In this embodiment, these holes 131 are close to the first edge 141, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, these holes 131 may also be close to the second edge 151. Figure 5 The remaining configurations and modes of operation of the expansion card 100c of the illustrated embodiment are the same as or similar to those of the foregoing Figure 2 illustrated embodiment of the expansion card 100, and will not be described herein again.
[0037] In summary, due to the fact that the hook portion of the expansion card in this case has a plurality of linearly arranged holes, when an external force is applied to the expansion card, the fracture of the hook portion will form along the holes. Such a design can prevent the main body of the expansion card from being damaged, and further prevent the functionality of the expansion card from being affected.
