Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling fan technology, specifically to a bracket clip structure and a graphics card device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of cooling fans, efficient heat dissipation is crucial for maintaining high-performance computing. Modern graphics cards (GPUs), due to their high power consumption and the large amount of heat generated, are typically equipped with one or more fans to enhance airflow and ensure the device operates at optimal temperatures. These fans are mounted to the heatsink using brackets, while traditional mounting methods often use screws. Although screw mounting provides a stable connection, it requires additional tools such as screwdrivers, increasing installation time and complexity. Furthermore, screw mounting is not flexible enough for quick fan replacement or maintenance, and the removal process is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
[0024] This embodiment relates to a bracket buckle structure, as shown in the reference... Figures 1-3 The system includes: a main housing 100, a fan 200, a snap-fit assembly 300, and a bracket fastener 400. The main housing 100 has two openings 110 for the fan 200 to be mounted on. The fan 200 generates airflow through rotation, allowing air circulation via the openings 110 to dissipate heat from the graphics card or other devices requiring cooling. The snap-fit assembly 300 is mounted on the side of the main housing 100 near the openings 110. The snap-fit assembly 300 engages with the bracket fastener 400 to securely fasten to the main housing 100, and the bracket fastener 400, in turn, provides a mounting base for the fan 200 on the main housing 100. The bracket fastener 400 is then picked up and aligned with the snap-fit assembly 300. By pressing, the bracket fastener 400 engages with the snap-fit assembly 300, securing the bracket fastener 400 to the main housing 100 and thus securing the fan 200. This allows for easy connection and installation simply by pressing the bracket fastener 400 to the main housing 100, without the need for screws. The bracket fastener structure is simple and compact, enabling quick installation and removal of the bracket fastener 400 through a subtle snap-fit mechanism. Furthermore, it ensures a stable connection between the bracket fastener 400 and the main housing 100 even in environments with vibration or movement.
[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 3-4The snap-fit assembly 300 includes: a baffle snap-fit body 310 disposed near the opening 110 and a first protrusion 320 disposed on the baffle snap-fit body 310 for fastening the bracket snap-fit body 400. Further, a second protrusion 410 for engaging with the first protrusion 320 is disposed at one end of the bracket snap-fit body 400 near the baffle snap-fit body 310. The baffle snap-fit body 310 provides a mounting base for the first protrusion 320. Specifically, in this embodiment, two baffle snap-fit bodies 310 are spaced apart, with the bracket snap-fit body 400 abutting against the tops of the two baffle snap-fit bodies 310. The first protrusion 320 on the baffle snap-fit body 310 engages with the second protrusion 410 on the bracket snap-fit body 400, achieving a quick connection between the two, so that the first protrusion 320 clamps both sides of the bracket snap-fit body 400. The two protrusions form a tight engagement, ensuring that the bracket snap-fit body 400 will not easily loosen. Therefore, with the first protrusion 320 and the second protrusion 410 provided, users can easily install the bracket buckle 400 onto or remove it from the main housing 100 without additional tools.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first protrusion 320 includes a first plane 321 that engages with the second protrusion 410 and a first guide slope 322 facing away from the first plane 321. Further, the second protrusion 410 includes a second plane 411 that engages with the first plane 321 and a second guide slope 412 facing away from the second plane 411. The second guide slope 412 of the bracket buckle 400 aligns with the second guide slope 412 of the abutment baffle buckle 310. The two guide slopes act as guides during the engagement process. When the user presses the bracket buckle 400, the second guide slope 412 slides along the first guide slope 322, reducing the friction between the first guide slope 322 and the second guide slope 412, ensuring smooth engagement. This continues until the second plane 411 fully contacts and engages with the first plane 321, forming a secure engagement installation.
[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 3-4 The baffle fastener 310 includes a first fastener 311 for fastening one end of the bracket fastener 400 and a second fastener 312 symmetrically arranged with respect to the first fastener 311 for fastening the other end of the bracket fastener 400. Specifically, in this embodiment, two of each of the first fastener 311 and the second fastener 312 are spaced apart, respectively used to engage and fasten both ends of the bracket fastener 400. In this embodiment, the bracket fastener 400 includes a first end (not shown) and a second end (not shown). The first fastener 311 and the second fastener 312 simultaneously fasten the first end and the second end of the bracket fastener 400, making the entire installation more stable. Simultaneously, the two fasteners also play a certain positioning and guiding role, aiding in the precise engagement of the bracket fastener 400.
[0028] In this embodiment, the second end of the bracket buckle 400 is provided with a through hole (not shown) that runs through the front and back, which is used to facilitate the passage of connecting wires.
[0029] Furthermore, a third guide slope 3121 is provided at the end of the second buckle plate 312 that abuts against the other end of the bracket buckle body 400. The third guide slope 3121 is used to assist the second protrusion in smoothly sliding into and engaging with the first protrusion. Specifically, in this embodiment, the ends of the two second buckle plates 312 are bent inward, and the third guide slope 3121 is provided at the bent end of the second buckle plate 312. This bent part is used to abut against the second end of the bracket buckle body 400.
[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The snap-fit assembly 300, near the first snap plate 311, also has a post 330 for positioning the bracket snap body 400. The post 330 acts as a positioning element, further ensuring that the bracket snap body 400 can be accurately installed in the predetermined position. It also provides additional support points for the bracket snap body 400, further improving installation stability.
[0031] Furthermore, a ring buckle 420 is provided at one end of the bracket buckle 400 that is sleeved on the column 330, which further strengthens the connection between the bracket buckle 400 and the snap-fit assembly 300. In some embodiments, the column 330 is configured as a hollow column 330, and screws can be screwed into the column 330 through the ring buckle 420, further strengthening the connection between the bracket buckle 400 and the snap-fit assembly 300.
[0032] In this embodiment, the top of the column 330 is rounded, which reduces friction during installation and helps guide the bracket buckle 400 into place correctly. In particular, it provides better tactile and visual feedback during user installation.
[0033] This embodiment also relates to a graphics card device, including: a graphics card body (not shown), and a bracket buckle structure as described above, which is mounted on the graphics card body.
[0034] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
