The card 3 is equipped with a PCIe card slot 4; a PCIe card or graphics card 5 is installed in the PCIe card slot 4; the cover plate assembly 22 includes a top plate 221 and a fourth side plate 222, a first horizontal plate 216 is provided on the top of the first side plate 212, and a Z-shaped bending plate 223 is provided below the end of the top plate 221. The Z-shaped bending plate 223 includes a second horizontal plate 2231 and a third horizontal plate 2232. The second horizontal plate 2231 and the first horizontal plate 216 are on the same plane, and the third horizontal plate 2232 is clipped below the first horizontal plate 216.

[0035] Specifically, see Figures 1-5 The first enclosure 1 is the housing of a small industrial computer, which contains a control board 11 and a PCIe adapter 12. The PCIe adapter card 3 is inserted vertically into the PCIe adapter 12. The PCIe adapter card 3 passes through the first cutout 13 and the second cutout 215. The top of the PCIe adapter card 3 is provided with a PCIe card slot 4. A PCIe card or graphics card 5 is installed in the PCIe card slot 4. The PCIe card or graphics card 5 is parallel to the control board 11. Through the vertical PCIe adapter card 3, the expansion of the PCIe card or graphics card 5 is realized. In addition, the bottom assembly 21 and the cover assembly 22 can be quickly connected by a Z-shaped bending plate 223 and a first horizontal plate 216. The assembly method is simple and efficient. The thickness of the expansion enclosure 2 is about 1 / 3 of the thickness of the first enclosure 1, and only increases the dimension of the first enclosure 1 in the thickness direction.

[0036] See Figures 1-5The expansion process and principle of the first enclosure 1 for expanding PCIe cards or graphics cards 5 are as follows: First, remove the cover plate of the first hollow part 13 to expose the PCIe adapter socket 12; Second, set several mounting seats 2121 and several positioning posts 2122 on the first side plate 212, and the PCIe adapter card 3 is quickly installed on the first side plate 212 through the mounting seats 2121 and the positioning posts 2122; Third, set a first positioning groove 131 and a second positioning groove 132 in the first hollow part 13 to allow the PCIe adapter card 3 to pass through. Under the guidance and restraint of the first positioning groove 131 and the second positioning groove 132, the PCIe adapter card 3 can be efficiently inserted into the PCIe adapter socket 12, and the base plate 211 is fastened to the first enclosure 1; Fourth, set several reserved openings 2131 on the second side plate 213, and set several... A ventilation vent 2141 is provided. A PCIe card or the graphics card 5 is inserted into the PCIe card slot 4. Several communication ports 51 are provided on the side of the PCIe card or the graphics card 5, and the communication ports 51 and the reserved port 2131 are correspondingly set.

[0037] See Figures 1-5 The working principle of the Z-shaped bending plate 223 and the first horizontal plate 216 is as follows: A guide plate 2233 is provided at the end of the third horizontal plate 2232. The guide plate 2233 is inclined downward. The purpose of the inclination is to avoid the first horizontal plate 216 when the guide plate 2233 is close to it. The width of the guide plate 2233 is smaller than the width of the third horizontal plate 2232. When the cover plate assembly 22 is installed, the Z-shaped bending plate 223 gradually approaches the first horizontal plate 216. Under the guidance of the guide plate 2233, the first horizontal plate 216 is guided to the space between the third horizontal plate 2232 and the top plate 221 to complete the engagement. Then, the first bending plate 2221 and the third bending plate 2132 are locked, and the second bending plate 2222 and the fourth bending plate 2142 are locked to complete the installation of the cover plate assembly 22.
