Detailed implementation manners

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 - 7 , a chassis with a vertically placed graphics card, including a chassis housing 1 and a first support member 2; the chassis housing 1 is composed of a main frame 11, a front panel 12, a back panel 13, a top panel 14, a bottom panel 15, a first side panel 16 and a second side panel 17; the first support member 2 is horizontally fixed to the bottom of the main frame 11, and a fixing member 21 is connected to one side of the first support member 2 close to the second side panel 17. The fixing member 21 is used for vertically connecting the graphics card 4, and an air inlet 171 is provided between the graphics card 4 and the second side panel 17.

[0025] By adding a first support member 2 and a fixing member 21 to vertically connect the graphics card 4, the graphics card 4 is close to the air inlet 171, so as to better dissipate heat, and solve the problem that the graphics card 4 is horizontally inserted on the motherboard 5 and relies on the air inlet 171 and the air outlet perpendicular to each other for heat dissipation, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect.

[0026] The first side panel 16 is provided with heat dissipation holes, and a heat dissipation fan is connected to one side of the first side panel 16. The heat dissipation fan and the air inlet 171 are located on the same straight line, so that the air inside the chassis can convect and dissipate heat better.

[0027] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, two mutually parallel first extension plates 22 are provided on one side of the first support member 2 close to the second side panel 17. First slots 221 are provided on the first extension plates 22. Positioning bolts 211 are provided on both sides of the fixing member 21, and the positioning bolts 211 are clamped in the first slots 221.

[0028] Specifically, 2 first slots 221 are provided on each first extension plate 22, and two positioning screws 211 are provided on both sides of the fixing member 21. The positions of the first slots 221 and the positioning screws 211 correspond to each other and are engaged with each other, so that the connection between the fixing member 21 and the first extension plate 22 is more firm.

[0029] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, a second slot 222 is provided on the first extension plate 22. The second slot 222 is used for clamping the positioning bolt 211. Both the first slot 221 and the second slot 222 are "L" - shaped, and the depth of the second slot 222 is greater than the depth of the first slot 221.

[0030] The fixing member 21 and the first extension plate 22 are connected and fixed by positioning bolts 211 clamped in the second slot 222. Since the depth of the second slot 222 is greater than that of the first slot 221, when the positioning bolts 211 are clamped in the second slot 222, more space is vacated above the fixing member 21 to fix the larger-sized graphics card 4. The "L"-shaped design of the first slot 221 and the second slot 222 makes the clamping of the fixing member 21 more stable and the clamping process more convenient, without the need to additionally use parts such as screws for locking.

[0031] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the fixing member 21 is provided with 2 to 6 parallel slots 212 at equal intervals for connecting the graphics card 4.

[0032] Preferably, the fixing member 21 is provided with 4 slots 212. The 4 slots 212 meet the needs of most users for installing the graphics card 4, and also avoid the fixing member 21 occupying too much space in the chassis when the graphics card 4 is not installed.

[0033] In some embodiments, the fixing member 21 is provided with positioning holes 213 on both sides of the slots 212.

[0034] The positioning holes 213 cooperate with the slots 212 to better fix the graphics card 4. First, the graphics card 4 is inserted into the slots 212, and then bolts are passed through the holes on the graphics card 4 and the positioning holes 213 to fixedly connect the graphics card 4 and the fixing member 21.

[0035] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the chassis with the graphics card placed vertically further includes a second support member 3 for fixing the motherboard 5. The bottom end of the second support member 3 is vertically fixed to the top of the first support member 2. One side of the second support member 3 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 16, and the top of the other side of the second support member 3 is bent to form a second extension plate 31 and is fixedly connected to the main body frame 11; the graphics card 4 and the motherboard 5 are connected by a graphics card adapter cable 6.

[0036] Since the motherboard 5 is fixed to the second support member 3 and the graphics card 4 is vertically connected to the fixing member 21, the motherboard 5 and the graphics card 4 are respectively located on both sides of the first support member 2, dissipating heat respectively and reducing heat accumulation, and having a better heat dissipation effect compared to the case where the graphics card 4 is directly horizontally inserted into the motherboard 5, and solving the problem that the other side of the graphics card 4 may sag due to the excessive weight of the graphics card 4, affecting the connection between the graphics card 4 and the motherboard 5.

[0037] As Figures 5 - 7 shown, in some embodiments, the second extension plate 31 is provided with a chute 311, and a slider 312 is slidably connected to the chute 311. The slider 312 is used to fix the graphics card 4 from above.

[0038] The chute 311 is vertically arranged, and the length of the chute 311 is 4 cm to 8 cm. The height of the slider 312 on the chute 311 is adjusted to fit graphics cards 4 of different sizes. The setting of the slider 312 strengthens the fixation of the graphics card 4.

[0039] In some embodiments, a first hole is provided on one side of the slider 312. The hand-tightening bolt passes through the chute 311 and the first hole to slidably connect the second expansion board 31 and the slider 312.

[0040] When using the slider 312 to fix the graphics card 4, first loosen the hand-tightening bolt, adjust the slider 312 to a height that can press the graphics card 4, and then tighten the hand-tightening bolt to fix the slider 312 to the second expansion board 31, avoiding the top of the graphics card 4 from tilting when the chassis shakes; the setting of the hand-tightening bolt facilitates the fixation of the slider 312 to the graphics card 4.

[0041] The slider 312 is provided with a positioning chute for fixing the graphics card 4. The top of the graphics card 4 is fixed to the slider 312 by passing a bolt through the hole on the graphics card 4 and the positioning chute.

[0042] In some embodiments, the fixing member 21 and the slider 312 are parallel to each other, and the distance between the fixing member 21 and the slider 312 is 250 mm to 350 mm.

[0043] By adjusting the height of the slider 312 on the chute 311 and changing the position where the fixing member 21 is engaged, the distance between the slider 312 and the fixing member 21 is changed, so as to better fix graphics cards 4 of different sizes.

[0044] As Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the second support member 3 is provided with a first wire passing opening 32 and a second wire passing opening 33. The first wire passing opening 32 is for passing through the graphics card adapter cable 6.

[0045] The first wire passing opening 32 is used for passing through larger lines, such as the graphics card adapter cable 6. The opening area of the second wire passing opening 33 is smaller than that of the first wire passing opening 32 and is used for passing through smaller lines. The settings of the first wire passing opening 32 and the second wire passing opening 33 facilitate the connection of devices on both sides of the second support member 3.

[0046] Specific working mode:

[0047] When fixing the graphics card 4, only need to remove the second side plate 17 and / or the front plate 12. First, insert the graphics card 4 into the card slot 212, and then use a bolt to pass through the hole on the graphics card 4 and the positioning hole 213 to fixedly connect the graphics card 4 and the fixing member 21. The fixation of the bottom end of the graphics card 4 is completed.

[0048] Unscrew the hand-tightening bolt, adjust the sliding member 312 to a height that can press against the graphics card 4, and then tighten the hand-tightening bolt to fix the sliding member 312 to the second expansion board 31, completing the fixation of the top of the graphics card 4.
