Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of computer cases, and in particular relates to a double-compartment computer case. Background Art

[0002] Computers are now widely used, not only as a valuable aid for daily entertainment in every household but also as an indispensable office device across all industries. Based on usage scenarios and design features, computers can be roughly divided into two categories: laptops and desktops. Laptops, with their portability, slim design, and long battery life, are the preferred choice for mobile office work and daily entertainment. Desktop computers, on the other hand, occupy a key position in professional fields and home entertainment due to their powerful processing power, scalability, and more comfortable user experience.

[0003] Desktop computers, typically designed for fixed locations, have a relatively complex internal structure, consisting of numerous hardware components, including a motherboard, graphics card, and power supply. These components are cleverly housed within a housing known as a "chassis." The chassis is not only a crucial component for protecting the hardware from external interference and damage, but also a crucial factor influencing the computer's heat dissipation efficiency, noise control, aesthetics, and upgrade potential.

[0004] In recent years, with the market responding positively and subtle shifts in consumer preferences, more and more users are opting for smaller cases when building their computers. While current case designs generally cluster core components like the motherboard, power supply, and graphics card on a single mounting plate, this approach still leaves room for improvement in space utilization and further reduction in size. To address this demand, small case designs are evolving. One popular approach involves relocating the mounting plate to the center, creating a dual-bay structure. Graphics cards are cleverly positioned on the mounting plate behind the motherboard using extension cables. While this design improves space utilization and compactness, the separation of the mounting plate compromises top or bottom fan placement, limiting overall cooling performance and impacting computer performance. Furthermore, the co-location of the power supply and motherboard requires densely packed connections to the motherboard, placing high demands on the internal wiring layout. If the wiring is not handled properly, the wiring inside the chassis will become messy, which will not only affect the appearance, but may also have an adverse effect on the heat dissipation efficiency and system stability.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a dual-compartment computer case to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model proposes a dual-compartment computer case.

[0007] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0008] A dual-compartment computer case includes a case body and an inner partition, wherein the case body includes an outer frame, a fan mounting bracket, a first side panel, a second side panel, and an opening cover, wherein the outer frame is U-shaped and the opening faces upward, the two ends of the fan mounting bracket are respectively threadedly connected to the two ends of the outer frame opening, the first side panel and the second side panel are respectively threadedly connected to the two sides of the outer frame, the opening cover is threadedly connected to the top of the outer frame, the inner partition is Z-shaped and is vertically installed in the outer frame, the inner partition divides the internal space of the case into a motherboard compartment and a power supply and graphics card compartment, and the inner partition is provided with a through hole for the power supply line to pass through.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See Figures 1-4 The utility model provides a dual-compartment computer case, comprising a case body and an inner partition 1, the case body comprising an outer frame 2, a fan mounting bracket 3, a first side panel 4, a second side panel 5 and an opening cover 6, the outer frame 2 is U-shaped and the opening is facing upward, the two ends of the fan mounting bracket 3 are respectively threadedly connected to the two ends of the opening of the outer frame 2, the first side panel 4 and the second side panel 5 are respectively threadedly connected to the two sides of the outer frame 2, the opening cover 6 is threadedly connected to the top of the outer frame 2, the inner partition 1 is Z-shaped and vertically installed in the outer frame 2, the inner partition 1 divides the internal space of the case into a motherboard compartment 7 and a power supply and graphics card compartment 8, and the inner partition 1 is provided with a through hole 9 for the power supply line to pass through.

[0029] Before assembling the chassis designed above, the user must confirm that all chassis components are complete and undamaged, and prepare all necessary assembly tools. The assembly process is as follows:

[0030] First, place the outer frame 2 upright, with the opening facing upward, to facilitate subsequent installation. Next, securely install the Z-shaped inner partition 1 inside the outer frame 2, dividing the interior of the chassis into two independent compartments: the motherboard compartment 7 and the power supply and graphics card compartment 8. Motherboard compartment 7 forms a "1" shape, while power supply and graphics card compartment 8 forms a "7" shape. Next, install the motherboard in motherboard compartment 7, and the power supply and graphics card in power supply and graphics card compartment 8. The graphics card is installed in this compartment behind the motherboard via a graphics card extension cable. Next, install the cooling fan on the fan mounting bracket 3. Once installed, install the fan mounting bracket 3 on the outer frame 2. Then, run the motherboard power cable from the power supply and graphics card compartment 8 to the motherboard compartment 7 through the through-hole 9 in the inner partition 1 and connect it to the motherboard. Similarly, the graphics card extension cable, graphics card power cable, and cooling fan power cable are all connected to the various hardware components in an orderly manner, ensuring neat and tidy routing. The extra wires are hidden in the power supply and graphics card compartment 8. Finally, the first side panel 4, the second side panel 5 and the opening cover 6 are fixed to the outer frame 2 by screws to complete the assembly. At this point, the assembly of the chassis is successfully completed. After plugging in the power, connect the monitor and other external devices, and then turn on the computer to test whether it can operate normally. Compared with the small chassis in the prior art, this chassis forms multiple connection points with the outer frame 2 through the Z-shaped inner partition 1, which improves the structural stability of the inner partition 1. In this way, even if the top of the inner partition 1 is not fixed, it can maintain a high stability, effectively avoiding the problem of force concentration. This design not only leaves space for the installation of the cooling fan, but also allows different components to be arranged more compactly, further improving the space utilization and heat dissipation performance of the chassis, ensuring that the temperature inside the chassis can be effectively controlled, and avoiding the potential impact of high temperature on the performance of the computer. Furthermore, the internal space of the chassis has been replanned and optimized by the use of internal partitions 1. Excess cables are hidden within the invisible power supply and graphics card compartments 8. This not only reduces the stringent requirements for cable routing, but also improves the aesthetics and neatness of the chassis. The entire interior of the chassis presents a neat, simple and elegant visual effect, providing users with a more pleasant user experience.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The inner partition 1 includes a first mounting plate 101, a threading plate 102 and a second mounting plate 103. The first mounting plate 101, the threading plate 102 and the second mounting plate 103 are all vertically mounted on the outer frame 2. The first mounting plate 101 is located in the middle of the outer frame 2 and is parallel to the plane where the first side plate 4 is located. The motherboard is mounted on the side of the first mounting plate 101 close to the first side plate 4, and the graphics card is mounted on the side of the first mounting plate 101 away from the first side plate 4. The other end of the first mounting plate 101 is vertically connected to the threading plate 102, and the through hole 9 is set on the threading plate 102. The second mounting plate 103 is vertically connected to the opposite side of the other end of the threading plate 102 and is set close to the first side plate 4 for installing the power supply.

[0032] The inner partition 1, through the arrangement of the first mounting plate 101, the threading plate 102, and the second mounting plate 103, rationally divides the space inside the chassis, optimizing the installation positions of the motherboard, power supply, and graphics card. This not only allows a more compact and rational layout of the main components such as the motherboard, power supply, and graphics card, but also provides a channel for the cables inside the chassis through the through-holes 9 on the threading plate 102, avoiding the disorder of the cables and improving the neatness and aesthetics of the interior of the chassis. This design gives the interior of the chassis an orderly, simple and elegant visual effect. In addition, the neat chassis also makes daily maintenance and subsequent hardware upgrades easier and more convenient, bringing a more pleasant user experience.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the first mounting plate 101 , the middle partition plate and the second mounting plate 103 are integrally formed.

[0034] The inner partition 1 is designed as an integral part of the first mounting plate 101, the middle partition and the second mounting plate 103, which improves the structural stability of the inner partition 1, simplifies the assembly process, saves assembly time, effectively reduces the complexity and error rate of the assembly process, and further improves the overall performance and user experience of the chassis.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, see Figures 1-4 The second mounting plate 103 , the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 are all provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 10 .

[0036] When the hardware inside the chassis is running, a large amount of heat will be generated. The heat dissipation holes 10 opened on the second mounting plate 103, the first side panel 4 and the second side panel 5, together with the cooling fan installed on the fan mounting bracket 3 and the holes on the opening cover 6, constitute an efficient heat dissipation system, which can effectively accelerate the air circulation inside the chassis, quickly discharge the heat, improve the heat dissipation effect of the chassis, ensure the stability of the computer hardware under long-term high-load operation, and provide the computer with higher performance release space.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer frame 2 includes a base 201 and a first panel 202 and a second panel 203 vertically connected to the two ends of the base 201 respectively. The two ends of the fan mounting bracket 3 are respectively threadedly connected to the upper ends of the first panel 202 and the second panel 203, and are parallel to the base 201. The first panel 202 is provided with a motherboard interface window 11 and a graphics card interface window 12.

[0038] By opening the motherboard interface window 11 and the graphics card interface window 12 on the first panel 202, the user can more intuitively identify the installation positions of the motherboard and graphics card, reducing possible misoperations during the assembly process and bringing great convenience to the computer assembly process.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 3 The base 201 is threadedly connected to a transfer fixing plate 13 , and the power supply is threadedly connected to the transfer fixing plate 13 .

[0040] By threading the adapter fixing plate 13 on the base 201, a wide range of compatibility with power supplies of different specifications can be achieved. For example, common power supplies are mainly ATX specifications (standard size is 150*86*140mm) and SFX specifications (standard size is 125*63.5*100mm), while the common specifications of graphics cards, in addition to the length parameter, are mainly different in thickness, mainly double-slot, triple-slot or even thicker, where the thickness of each slot is about 20mm. Thanks to the use of the adapter fixing plate 13, power supplies of different specifications can be matched, thereby realizing the solution of matching an ATX power supply with a dual-slot graphics card and the solution of matching an SFX power supply with a triple-slot graphics card, effectively improving the flexibility of assembly and meeting the performance requirements of more users.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the second panel 203 and the opening cover plate 6 are integrally formed.

[0042] By integrating the second panel 203 and the opening cover 6 into one piece, the assembly steps of the chassis are reduced and the overall stability and aesthetics of the chassis are improved.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the first side plate 4 is an aluminum plate.

[0044] The aluminum first side panel 4 is lightweight and gives the chassis a stylish feel, enhancing its aesthetics, making it a good choice for high-end cases. Furthermore, the first side panel 4 can be made from materials such as glass and acrylic, saving costs. Furthermore, the transparent first side panel 4 provides a perfect display space for the chassis' internal hardware, further enhancing the chassis's stylish and technological feel for users who require a light display.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A handle 14 is threadedly connected to the opening cover plate 6.

[0046] By providing the handle 14, the portability of the chassis is improved, and the physical burden of the user is effectively reduced during the transportation process.

[0047] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
