[0018] 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.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a locking structure of an adapter module, including a chassis 1, a side cover 2 movably installed inside the chassis 1, a mainboard 8 movably installed inside the side cover 2, a side cover 2 movably installed inside the chassis 1, a hook part 3 movably installed between the side cover 2 7 and the mainboard 8, an elastic arm 9 fixedly installed on the inner side of the hook part 3, an unlocking handle 6 movably installed on the top of the hook part 3, and a foam 4 movably installed inside the unlocking handle 6.
[0020] The staff slides the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 from top to bottom along the guide grooves 10 on both sides of the chassis 1. When the hook part 3 partially encounters the chassis opening, the reaction force of the chassis will temporarily push the hook part 3 open. Once the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 are pushed to the bottom, the hook part 3 will quickly bounce back to its original position and lock tightly with the chassis 1. At this time, the hook part 3 will push upward against the fulcrum at the tail of the unlocking handle 6 to ensure that the unlocking handle 6 remains in a stable buckled state. When the user needs to open the unlocking handle 6, he only needs to gently rotate the handle and its tail fulcrum will move downward. Press the head position of the hook part 3, and as the unlocking handle 6 rotates, when it reaches the vertical position, the hook part 3 will be completely unlocked. At this time, the convex point on the upper part of the hook part 3 will continue to press the unlocking handle 6, providing stable support force for the unlocking handle 6 and the foam 4, ensuring that it will not be accidentally closed when in the open state. At the same time, the elastic arm 9 of the hook part 3 remains in a stressed state, and the upper boss will clamp the unlocking handle 6 to prevent it from falling off. In addition, the locking part of the hook part 3 and the chassis 1 will also be unlocked, thereby completing the installation of the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7.
[0021] Through a simple sliding operation, the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 can be smoothly installed along the guide grooves 10 on both sides of the chassis 1. During the sliding process, the hook part 3 will be temporarily pushed open when encountering the chassis opening. Once the side cover reaches the bottom, the hook part will quickly reset and lock tightly with the chassis. At this time, the hook part will support the tail fulcrum of the unlocking handle 6 to ensure that the handle is stably buckled. When the user needs to open the unlocking handle, he only needs to rotate it gently, and its tail fulcrum will press down the head of the hook part. As it rotates to a vertical position, the hook part is completely unlocked. At the same time, the convex point on the upper part of the hook part will continue to provide stable support for the unlocking handle and foam 4 to prevent accidental closure. In addition, the elastic arm 9 of the hook part remains stressed, and the upper boss clamps the unlocking handle to prevent it from falling off. Compared with the traditional structure, this structure is The cooperation between the hook part 3 and the unlocking handle 6 realizes a convenient and stable installation and disassembly process. The user only needs to slide and rotate the unlocking handle 6 to complete the operation without complicated tools. Secondly, the hook part 3 can quickly bounce back to its original position after being pushed to the bottom, and tightly lock with the chassis 1, ensuring the stability and safety of side cover 1 2 and side cover 2 7, and avoiding system failures caused by loosening or falling off. Moreover, the design of the hook part 3 can also provide stable support force in the open state to prevent accidental closing, while ensuring that the handle will not fall off, further enhancing the reliability and safety of use, simplifying the operating process, and significantly improving the stability of the system and the user experience.
[0022] The chassis 1 has guide slots 10 fixedly installed therein. The guide slots 10 are arranged in groups of two, and there are six groups in total inside the chassis 1 .
[0023] Since the guide grooves 10 are arranged in groups of two, there are a total of six groups inside the chassis 1, which makes it convenient to limit the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 inside the two guide grooves 10, ensuring the stability of the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 during use and improving the use efficiency of the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7.
[0024] The outer side of the chassis 1 is provided with threaded holes 11 , and the threaded holes 11 are in the form of a linear array.
[0025] Since the threaded holes 11 are arranged in a linear array on the outside of the chassis 1 , the efficiency of mounting the cover on the top of the chassis 1 is ensured by slowly threading the bolts through the threaded holes 11 and the inside of the cover.
[0026] A support plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the chassis 1 , and the support plates 12 are in three shapes of the same size.
[0027] Since the support plates 12 are in three shapes of the same size at the bottom of the chassis 1 , they provide stable support for the chassis 1 , preventing the chassis 1 from shaking during use, and ensuring the stability of the chassis 1 during use.
[0028] The outer side of the chassis 1 is provided with heat dissipation holes 5 , and the number of the heat dissipation holes 5 is set to seven.
[0029] Since the number of heat dissipation holes 5 is set to seven on the outside of the chassis 1, and the heat dissipation holes 5 can increase the air circulation inside the chassis, thereby effectively reducing the hardware temperature, the heat dissipation holes 5 can also significantly reduce the risk of system instability or hardware damage caused by overheating.
[0030] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0031] The staff slides the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 from top to bottom along the guide grooves 10 on both sides of the chassis 1. When the hook part 3 partially encounters the chassis opening, the reaction force of the chassis will temporarily push the hook part 3 open. Once the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7 are pushed to the bottom, the hook part 3 will quickly bounce back to its original position and lock tightly with the chassis 1. At this time, the hook part 3 will push upward against the fulcrum at the tail of the unlocking handle 6 to ensure that the unlocking handle 6 remains in a stable buckled state. When the user needs to open the unlocking handle 6, he only needs to gently rotate the handle and its tail fulcrum will move downward. Press the head position of the hook part 3, and as the unlocking handle 6 rotates, when it reaches the vertical position, the hook part 3 will be completely unlocked. At this time, the convex point on the upper part of the hook part 3 will continue to press the unlocking handle 6, providing stable support force for the unlocking handle 6 and the foam 4, ensuring that it will not be accidentally closed when in the open state. At the same time, the elastic arm 9 of the hook part 3 remains in a stressed state, and the upper boss will clamp the unlocking handle 6 to prevent it from falling off. In addition, the locking part of the hook part 3 and the chassis 1 will also be unlocked, thereby completing the installation of the side cover 1 2 and the side cover 2 7.
