Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a computer case, in particular to an assembled computer case. Background Art

[0002] The internal frame of the computer case currently available on the market is a one-piece fixed structure. Although the frame can provide sufficient support, it cannot be disassembled.

[0003] To address these issues, CN 221782631U and Taiwan TW M633208 describe solutions for traditional and ocean view housing enclosures, respectively. Detailed explanations show that CN 221782631U describes a traditional enclosure without supporting columns. Instead, the panels are secured together by simple locking connections, defining the interior space. While this design lacks a fixed frame, significantly reducing its size during transport, it also suffers from a structurally insufficient strength, which can easily lead to dents in the top panel.

[0004] Take, for example, the ocean view case disclosed in Taiwan's TW M633208. This type of case utilizes a double-sided glass design, allowing users to experience varying visual experiences based on the lighting effects of the internal components. This design is similar to models like the CX700 RGB and C8 White sold by Antec, and the O11Dynamic EVO and O11 Vision Compact sold by Lian Li. The TW M633208 case discloses that to prevent the frame pillars from obscuring the view, the pillars between the double-sided glass can be removed after installation. However, removing the pillars can also lead to structural instability. Furthermore, ocean view cases are often placed on a desktop to allow users to enjoy the view from within. However, current case frames are typically made of metal, making them quite heavy and difficult to display. Utility Model Content

[0057] The detailed description and technical content of this utility model are now described as follows with the accompanying drawings:

[0058] See also Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides an assembled computer case 20, comprising at least three support columns 21, a first base 22, and a second base 23. Each of the at least three support columns 21 has a first assembly structure 211 and a second assembly structure 212. The first base 22 is disposed on the at least three support columns 21 and connects the plurality of first assembly structures 211 of the at least three support columns 21, so that the at least three support columns 21 are respectively disposed in an upright position at the corners of the first base 22. The second base 23 is disposed opposite the first base 22. The second base 23 is disposed on the at least three support columns 21 and connects the plurality of second assembly structures 212 of the at least three support columns 21, so that the at least three support columns 21 are respectively disposed in an upright position at the corners of the second base 23. It should be noted that the first assembly structure 211 and the second assembly structure 212 are not limited in structure or form, but are required to ensure that the at least three support columns 21 can be stably assembled with the first base 22 and the second base 23, respectively. Furthermore, after the at least three support columns 21, the first base 22, and the second base 23 are assembled, the at least three support columns 21, the first base 22, and the second base 23 collectively define a quadrilateral inner shell frame 24.

[0059] As can be seen from the foregoing, the present invention provides a user with a method of assembling the first base 22 and the second base 23 using the at least three support columns 21, so that the at least three support columns 21, the first base 22, and the second base 23 together form the inner frame 24 of the assembled computer case 20. The assembled computer case 20 of the present invention improves the shortcomings of conventional fixed cases that cannot be disassembled. At the same time, when implemented with the three support columns 21, the assembled computer case 20 can be constructed into what is commonly known in the industry as a sea view room case. The present invention retains the characteristic of a sea view room case that allows for a smooth viewing experience when observing the interior space of the case, and solves the problem of structural instability that is common with conventional detachable cases such as sea view room cases. Furthermore, part of the structure of the assembled computer case 20 of the present invention can be made of relatively lightweight materials, such as hard plastic, thereby reducing the disadvantage of conventional cases that are heavy and difficult to display and appreciate.

[0060] See also Figure 4In one embodiment, the first base 22 of the present invention has a plurality of notches 221, and the plurality of notches 221 connect the at least three support columns 21, so that the first base 22 and the at least three support columns 21 form an assembly relationship. Furthermore, the first assembly structure 211 is at least one card block, and the at least one card block is arranged in one of the plurality of notches 221. In addition, in order to assist the connection between the at least three support columns 21 and the first base 22, the present invention, in one embodiment, each of the at least three support columns 21 has at least one auxiliary connecting fin 213, and the at least one auxiliary connecting fin 213 is connected to the first base 22. Moreover, the second assembly structure 212 of the present invention is at least one mounting wing block, and the at least one mounting wing block is protruding relative to the body of the support column 21 to which it belongs, so as to be connected to one side edge of the second base 23. In one embodiment, one of the at least three support columns 21 has an expansion card positioning structure 214, which provides a fixed structure for at least one expansion card (not shown) during assembly. The expansion card positioning structure 214 can be a continuously concave-convex groove structure, or a plurality of slots arranged at intervals.

[0061] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The assembled computer case 20 of the present invention has a plurality of side panels 25, and the plurality of side panels 25 are respectively connected to the first base 22 and the second base 23. In one embodiment, each of the at least three support columns 21 has two contact surfaces 215 that respectively contact the plurality of side panels 25, and the two contact surfaces 215 are located on two opposite sides of the support column 21 to which they belong, and an angle 216 between each of the two contact surfaces 215 and one of the plurality of side panels 25 and the two contact surfaces 215 is less than 90 degrees. Furthermore, the two angles 216 of the two contact surfaces 215 are equal. In addition, in order to enhance the viewing function of the present invention, in one embodiment, at least one of the plurality of side panels 25 is a see-through plate 251. For example, the see-through plate 251 can be a transparent acrylic plate or a transparent glass.

[0062] Furthermore, the number of support columns 21 of the present invention can be three or four. For example, if the assembled computer case 20 has four support columns 21, the assembled computer case 20 is configured as a quadrilateral with four corners, and the four support columns 21 are located at each of the four corners. Furthermore, if the assembled computer case 20 has three support columns 21, the three support columns 21 are located at three of the four corners. In this embodiment, two corner connectors 26 are provided at the corners of the assembled computer case 20 that do not have at least three support columns 21. These two corner connectors 26 connect the first base 22 and the second base 23, respectively. It should be noted that the two corner connectors 26 are not connected. When viewed from the outside of the assembled computer case 20, the two corner connectors 26 are arranged on the assembled computer case 20 in a broken column configuration. Unlike the at least three support columns 21, the two corner connectors 26 cannot form a continuous structure connecting the first base 22 and the second base 23. Furthermore, the imaginary extension lines of the two corner connectors 26 overlap, as indicated by reference numeral 261. Although the two corner connectors 26 are implemented in a broken column configuration, they can still provide support at the specific corner between the first base 22 and the second base 23, resolving the structural strength issues caused by the lack of columns at specific corners in conventional ocean view room cases.

[0063] Continuing with the above, the side panels 25 disposed on either side of the two corner connectors 26 can each serve as the see-through panels 251, thereby forming the aforementioned ocean view room housing. When a user views the interior of the assembled computer case 20 through the see-through panels 251, the two corner connectors 26 do not obstruct the user's view. Furthermore, one of the two see-through panels 251 has a curve 252, the center of which is located on the side of the see-through panel 251 facing the inner frame 24. More specifically, the see-through plate 251 is divided into two planar areas 253 and a curved area 254 based on the bend 252. The curved area 254 is located between the two planar areas 253. In this embodiment, the curved area 254 is smaller than the curved range of a conventional sea view room computer case. This can significantly reduce the fisheye problem caused by the bend 252 when the user observes the interior of the assembled computer case 20 through the see-through plate 251. Furthermore, when a holographic projection structure (not shown) is configured inside the assembled computer case 20, the image of the holographic projection structure will not be excessively deformed due to the bend 252 on the see-through plate 251, thereby enhancing the overall visual experience.

[0064] Continuing with the above, to enhance the structural stability of the assembled computer case 20, the present invention, in one embodiment, includes at least one reinforcement bracket 27 disposed on the inner frame 24 of the case. For example, if there are four support columns 21, the reinforcement bracket 27 can connect the four support columns 21 located on the same side of the assembled computer case 20. Furthermore, if there are three support columns 21, the reinforcement bracket 27 can connect the three support columns 21 located on the same side panel 25 of the assembled computer case 20, or it can connect one of the three support columns 21 to the two corner connectors 26.

[0065] On the other hand, see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The assembled computer case 20 of the present invention has a plurality of foot pads 28 located at the corners of the assembled computer case 20. The foot pads 28 connect to one end of the at least three support columns 21 and are located at the bottom of the assembled computer case 20. For example, if there are four support columns 21, each of the foot pads 28 connects to one of the four support columns 21. For another example, if there are three support columns 21, one of the foot pads 28 connects to one of the two corner connectors 26, and each of the remaining foot pads 28 connects to one of the three support columns 21.

[0066] In more detail, the assembled computer case 20 can be further adjusted based on user needs, which is commonly known as a flip case in the industry. Figure 1 From the perspective of the assembled computer case 20, the first base 22 is located at the bottom of the assembled computer case 20, and the second base 23 is located at the top of the assembled computer case 20. The plurality of foot pads 28 are connected to one end of the at least three support columns 21 close to the first base 22. This state can be referred to as the first form when the assembled computer case 20 is not flipped over. When the assembled computer case 20 is flipped over, the positions of the first base 22 and the second base 23 are swapped. The first base 22 is located at the top of the assembled computer case 20, and the second base 23 is located at the bottom of the assembled computer case 20, just like Figure 8 As shown. At this point, the multiple foot pads 28 connect to one end of the at least three support columns 21 near the second base 23. This state can be referred to as the second configuration of the assembled computer case 20 after flipping. By changing the configuration of the assembled computer case 20, users can easily choose the configuration of the assembled computer case 20 based on their preferences or placement. The assembled computer case 20 of the present invention can provide users with different visual experiences in different configurations.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the assembled computer case 20 has two fan frames 29, which are respectively arranged relative to the first base 22 and the second base 23. Each of the two fan frames 29 provides at least one cooling fan (not shown) disposed therein. The relative arrangement described herein means that the two fan frames 29 are located on the same side of the assembled computer case 20, and the two fan frames 29 are located in a projected position relative to each other. Furthermore, the assembled computer case 20 has a filter element 30, which is connected to one of the two fan frames 29 and is selectively disposed on the first base 22 and the second base 23. In detail, the filter element 30 is selectively assembled to one of the first base 22 and the second base 23 based on the positions of the first base 22 and the second base 23 on the assembled computer case 20. The filter element 30 filters the airflow generated by the at least one cooling fan implemented in conjunction with one of the two fan frames 29.

[0068] In one embodiment, the assembled computer case 20 may further include a decorative panel 31. The decorative panel 31 may be assembled with the first base 22 or the second base 23 depending on the configuration of the assembled computer case 20. Specifically, the decorative panel 31 may serve as a top panel of the assembled computer case 20. In other words, the decorative panel 31 is assembled with the top portion of either the first base 22 or the second base 23. Furthermore, the decorative panel 31 may have a hollowed-out area, and the decorative panel 31 may include a mesh corresponding to the hollowed-out area.
