[0040] The perspective power supply housing of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which is a preferred embodiment of the perspective power supply housing of the present application. The perspective power supply housing comprises a base 1, at least one structural column 2, a perspective plate 3 and a cover plate 4. The structural column 2 and the perspective plate 3 are located between the base 1 and the cover plate 4.

[0042] In detail, the base 1 has a bottom plate 11, which is not limited in shape, for example, but not limited to, rectangular. At least one corner of the bottom plate 11 has a joint 12 for setting the structural column 2. The structural column 2 has a body 21 and two extension pieces 22 connected to both sides of the body 21.

[0043] The perspective plate 3 is made of a perspective material, such as transparent or translucent plastic, acrylic or glass, etc. The perspective plate 3 has at least two side plate portions 31 and a bending portion 32, which is integrally formed between the two side plate portions 31, so that the perspective plate 3 can be approximately L-shaped. In other embodiments, the perspective plate 3 can also be approximately U-shaped, and the three side plate portions 31 are connected by two bending portions 32; or it can also form a complete ring, for example, approximately H-shaped, and the four side plate portions 31 are connected by four bending portions 32.

[0044] In addition, the see-through plate 3 has a lower edge 3a and an upper edge 3b; when assembled, the bottom plate 11 is connected by the lower edge 3a of the see-through plate 3, and the upper edge 3b of the see-through plate 3 is connected by the cover plate 4, so that the see-through plate 3 is clamped between the bottom plate 11 and the cover plate 4, and the side plate part 31 of the see-through plate 3 can form part or all of the side wall part of the overall power supply housing. The utility model does not limit the type of the cover plate 4, and can cover the upper edge 3b of the see-through plate 3 as the principle, and can cooperate with the type of the base 1 and the see-through plate 3 to form a containing space together, so as to install the power supply, circuit board and fan and other components (not shown in the figure) of the power supply.

[0045] Wherein, please refer to Figure 5 The bending part 32 of the see-through plate 3 is attached to the body 21 of the structural column 2, and the two extension pieces 22 of the structural column 2 are respectively attached to the two side plate parts 31 of the see-through plate 3. In this way, the structural column 2 not only supports the base 1 and the cover plate 4 at the corners of the bottom plate 11, but also provides good support effect to the see-through plate 3 by the structural column 2. In addition to strengthening the structural strength of the overall power supply housing, it can effectively prevent the see-through plate 3 from deforming.

[0046] According to the foregoing structure, the see-through power supply housing of the embodiment has simple structure and is easy to manufacture and assemble. By means of the structural column 2 and the see-through plate 3, the power supply housing can form at least two adjacent side walls in a see-through manner under the premise of stable structure. Therefore, the see-through power supply housing of the embodiment can allow users to directly observe the internal condition of the power supply from the outside; and the power supply using this housing has a special visual effect of appearance, which can attract consumers to purchase, improve the competitiveness of products, and is more suitable for assembling in a computer host with a colorful light effect.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5, in addition to the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the utility model, the base 1 can have two abutting flanges 13, the two abutting flanges 13 are connected with the bottom disc 11 and abut the joint 12. For example, the two abutting flanges 13 can be integrally connected with the outer edge of the bottom disc 11 and extend upwards by a predetermined height, or the two abutting flanges 13 are assembled and combined on the bottom disc 11. In addition, the abutting flanges 13 on the same side of the outer edge of the bottom disc 11 can be multiple spaced protrusions in addition to the strip-shaped sheet shown in the figure, and the utility model is not limited. Accordingly, the lower edge 3a of the perspective plate 3 can be located on the inner side of the two abutting flanges 13, and the outer surfaces of the two side plate portions 31 can abut the two abutting flanges 13 respectively, so that the base 1 of the embodiment can improve the effect of stabilizing and positioning the perspective plate 3 by means of the two abutting flanges 13.

[0048] In addition, in an embodiment of the utility model, the outer surface of the side plate portion 31 can be provided with a positioning groove 311, the positioning groove 311 abuts the lower edge 3a of the perspective plate 3, so that the corresponding abutting flange 13 is positioned and assembled, which can further improve the combination stability of the perspective plate 3 and the base 1.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in addition to the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the utility model, the base 1 can have multiple limiting protrusions 14, the multiple limiting protrusions 14 protrude from the upper surface of the bottom disc 11 and are adjacent to the corresponding abutting flange 13. In this way, the two side plate portions 31 can be inserted between the two abutting flanges 13 and the multiple limiting protrusions 14, and the two side plate portions 31 are assisted in limiting from the inside by the multiple limiting protrusions 14, which has the effect of improving the combination stability of the perspective plate 3 and the base 1.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in addition to the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the utility model, the bending portion 32 of the perspective plate 3 and the body 21 of the structural column 2 can form a matching round corner shape. In this way, not only the overall power supply shell can improve the texture by the bending portion 32 of the perspective plate 3, but also the user can be protected from being injured by knocking on this corner; more importantly, the perspective plate 3 and the structural column 2 are in contact with each other by an arc surface, which can more evenly distribute the stress.

[0051] In particular, in one embodiment of the present application, the outer surfaces of the two extension pieces 22 can be flush with the outer surface of the body 21. In this way, the outer surface of the structural column 2 can be more completely attached to the inner surface of the perspective board 3, thereby increasing the contact area and improving the support. In addition, the two extension pieces 22 not only support the two side plate portions 31, but also quickly disperse the stress at the body 21 to both sides, so that the structural column 2 of the present embodiment can have good support and prevent the perspective board 3 from being cracked.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that in other possible embodiments, the outer surface of the bent portion 32 of the perspective board 3 can be formed in a right angle shape, or a plane, or multiple connected planes, or multiple cutting surface interlaced such as diamond cutting surface, etc. The present application is not limited to this. In addition, the inner surface of the bent portion 32 of the perspective board 3 is preferably matched with the outer surface of the body 21 of the structural column 2, but the present application is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the outer surface and the inner surface of the bent portion 32 of the perspective board 3 can also be inconsistent, so the present application is not limited to the disclosed type.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the body 21 of the structural column 2 can form locking portions 211 at the upper and lower ends, such as internal screw holes, for screwing and locking with the bottom plate 11 and the cover plate 4, thereby improving the convenience and stability of assembly. However, the present application is not limited to this combination structure, for example, the body 21 of the structural column 2 can also be combined with the bottom plate 11 and the cover plate 4 by clamping or other means.

[0054] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, which is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application.
