Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer cases, and in particular to a vertically mounted graphics card computer case that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] Graphics cards are crucial hardware components within a computer case. Traditionally, graphics cards are typically installed horizontally. However, this method has several drawbacks: Firstly, as computer case performance improves, the size and weight of graphics cards also increase. With horizontal installation, only one end of the graphics card is fixed to the rear panel of the case. When the graphics card is large and heavy, the other end may droop, potentially causing it to fall out, shift, or bend, affecting the normal operation of the computer case. Secondly, to attract consumers, more and more manufacturers incorporate lighting effects into the graphics card fan. With horizontal installation, the fan faces the bottom of the case, making it impossible to showcase these lighting effects.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a vertical installation method for graphics cards has emerged in recent years. This method typically involves mounting the graphics card directly at the bottom of the computer case, making it impossible to install a cooling fan at the bottom of the case and thus affecting the overall cooling performance of the computer case.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a technical solution to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertically mounted graphics card computer case that facilitates heat dissipation, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art where it is impossible to install a cooling fan at the bottom of the computer case when the graphics card is vertically mounted, thus affecting the heat dissipation performance of the computer case.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A vertically mounted graphics card computer case for improved heat dissipation includes a case body, which includes a rear panel and a base plate. Several feet are provided below the base plate. An installation window is provided on the rear panel. A motherboard and a graphics card are housed inside the case body. A graphics card support bracket is fixedly mounted on the base plate. The support bracket includes a top support surface, which is parallel to and suspended relative to the base plate. Several cooling fans are installed between the top support surface and the base plate. Multiple through holes are provided on the top support surface. A graphics card slot module is also provided at the upper end of the top support surface. The graphics card slot module is connected to the motherboard via a connector. A graphics card mounting bracket is fixedly mounted in the installation window. One side of the graphics card is inserted into the graphics card slot module, and one end of the graphics card is fixedly connected to the graphics card mounting bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, the two ends of the top surface of the support are integrally bent into support legs, each support leg including a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is in contact with the bottom plate, and the horizontal plate and the bottom plate are fixedly connected by connecting fasteners.
[0009] Furthermore, the graphics card slot module includes a circuit board, the upper surface of which is provided with a graphics card slot, the side of which is connected to the motherboard via a connector, and the upper end of the support top surface is provided with two fixing posts, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the circuit board.
[0010] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixed to one end of the graphics card connected to the graphics card mounting bracket. The upper end of the mounting bracket is bent away from the graphics card to form a connecting piece, and the lower end of the mounting bracket extends downward to provide a plug-in piece.
[0011] Furthermore, the graphics card mounting bracket includes a vertical frame, which is fixedly connected to the mounting window. The vertical frame has several vertical strip holes. The upper end of the vertical frame is bent away from the graphics card to form an L-shaped connecting part. The connecting piece contacts the L-shaped connecting part. The lower end of the vertical frame is bent towards the graphics card to form a support part. The support part contacts the upper surface of the support top surface. Several insertion holes are provided at the connection between the lower end of the vertical frame and the support part. The insertion piece is inserted into the insertion holes.
[0012] Furthermore, the vertical frame is provided with a number of first connecting holes and a number of snap-fit blocks on both sides, and the mounting window is provided with a number of second connecting holes and a number of snap-fit slots on both sides.
[0013] Furthermore, the graphics card mounting bracket also includes an L-shaped pressure block, which is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting part.
[0014] Furthermore, detachable dustproof mesh panels are installed in the gaps of the installation window and the graphics card mounting bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with heat dissipation through holes at the position corresponding to the cooling fan.
[0016] Furthermore, one of the legs is provided with a front function area, which includes at least one of a USB port, a Type-C port, a headphone / microphone jack, a power button, and an indicator light.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] By fixing a graphics card support bracket to the base plate, one end of the vertically mounted graphics card is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the entire bottom of the graphics card rests on the top support surface. This design ensures that even if the graphics card is large and heavy, the support bracket can still provide support, effectively preventing the other end of the graphics card from sagging. This avoids the graphics card from falling off, shifting, or bending, ensuring the normal operation of the computer case. Furthermore, the top support surface of the graphics card support bracket is suspended relative to the base plate, providing mounting space for several cooling fans. Multiple through holes on the top support surface facilitate airflow from the cooling fans through the top support surface to dissipate heat from components inside the computer case, such as the graphics card, motherboard, and power supply, effectively improving the computer case's heat dissipation performance.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a vertically mounted graphics card computer case that facilitates heat dissipation. The case body includes a rear panel 1 and a bottom panel 2. Additionally, the case body includes a front panel, a top panel, and two side panels. Several support legs 30 are provided below the bottom panel 2, separating the bottom panel 2 from the external support surface, which is beneficial for heat dissipation. An installation window 11 is provided on the rear panel 1. A motherboard 3 and a graphics card 8 are housed inside the case body. A graphics card support bracket 4 is fixedly mounted on the bottom panel 2. The graphics card support bracket 4 includes a supporting top surface 41, which is parallel to and suspended relative to the bottom panel 2. Several cooling fans 5 are installed between the supporting top surface 41 and the bottom panel 2. The supporting top surface 41 has multiple through holes 411, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the through holes 411 are elongated strips, and multiple through holes 411 are evenly distributed across the entire support top surface 41, facilitating airflow between the cooling fan 5 on the base plate 2 and the chassis body. A graphics card slot module 6 is also provided at the upper end of the support top surface 41. The graphics card slot module 6 is connected to the motherboard 3 via a connector. Specifically, the motherboard 3 has a graphics card slot, and the graphics card slot module 6 is connected to the graphics card slot on the motherboard 3 via a connecting cable. A graphics card mounting bracket 7 is fixedly installed in the mounting window 11. One side of the graphics card 8 is inserted into the graphics card slot module 6, and one end of the graphics card 8 is fixedly connected to the graphics card mounting bracket 7. Specifically, the length of the support top surface 41 is greater than the length of the graphics card 8.
[0031] In this embodiment, by fixing a graphics card support bracket 4 on the base plate 2, one end of the vertically mounted graphics card 8 is fixedly connected to the graphics card mounting bracket 7, and the entire bottom of the graphics card 8 is supported on the top support surface 41. With this configuration, even if the graphics card is large in size and weight, the graphics card support bracket 4 can provide support for the graphics card 8, effectively preventing the other end of the graphics card from sagging, thereby avoiding the graphics card from falling off, shifting, bending, etc., and ensuring the normal operation of the computer case. On the other hand, the top support surface 41 of the graphics card support bracket 4 is suspended relative to the base plate 2, so that there is an installation space between the base plate 2 and the top support surface 41 for installing several cooling fans 5. The top support surface 41 has multiple through holes 411, which facilitates the airflow of the cooling fans 5 to pass through the top support surface 41 to dissipate heat from the graphics card 8, motherboard 3, power supply and other components inside the computer case, effectively improving the heat dissipation performance of the computer case.
[0032] More specifically, the two ends of the supporting top surface 41 are integrally bent into supporting legs 42. Each supporting leg 42 includes a vertical plate 421 and a horizontal plate 422. The horizontal plate 422 contacts the base plate 2, and the horizontal plate 422 and the base plate 2 are fixedly connected by connecting fasteners 10. Specifically, as... Figure 1-2 As shown, two support legs 42 are fixed at the front and rear ends of the base plate 2. This arrangement provides sufficient space between the two support legs 42 to install more cooling fans 5, further improving heat dissipation performance. In this embodiment, by providing support legs 42 on both sides of the support top surface 41, the support top surface 41 is suspended relative to the base plate 2, providing installation space for the cooling fans 5. Of course, in other embodiments, the support legs 42 can also have other shapes, which will not be described in detail here.
[0033] More specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the graphics card slot module 6 includes a circuit board 61, on the upper surface of which a graphics card slot 62 is provided. The side of the circuit board 61 is connected to the motherboard 3 via a connector. Two fixing posts 412 are provided at the upper end of the supporting top surface 41, and these two fixing posts 412 are fixedly connected to both ends of the circuit board 61. Specifically, the side of the circuit board 61 is connected to the graphics card slot on the motherboard 3 via a connecting cable. In use, the bottom of the graphics card 8 is directly inserted into the graphics card slot 62. Under the weight of the graphics card 8, it will not detach from the graphics card slot 62, ensuring a stable connection between the graphics card 8 and the graphics card slot 62.
[0034] More specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, a mounting bracket 9 is fixed to one end of the graphics card 8 connected to the graphics card mounting bracket 7. The upper end of the mounting bracket 9 is bent away from the graphics card 8 to form a connecting piece 91, and the lower end of the mounting bracket 9 extends downward to provide a plug-in piece 92. Specifically, the mounting bracket 9 has several through holes to allow the interface portion of the graphics card 8 to protrude from the through holes, and threaded connection holes are provided on both sides of the through holes to fix the mounting bracket 9 and the graphics card 8 together using threaded connectors. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 9 facilitates the fixed connection between the graphics card 8 and the graphics card mounting bracket 7.
[0035] More specifically, such as Figure 5 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, the graphics card mounting bracket 7 includes a vertical frame 71, which is fixedly connected to the mounting window 11. The vertical frame 71 has several vertical slots 711. The upper end of the vertical frame 71 is bent away from the graphics card 8 to form an L-shaped connecting portion 712, which is in contact with the connecting piece 91. The lower end of the vertical frame 71 is bent towards the graphics card 8 to form a support portion 713, which is connected to the upper surface of the support top surface 41. The surface is in contact, and the lower end of the vertical frame 71 is connected to the support part 713 with a plurality of insertion holes 714, and the insertion piece 92 is inserted into the insertion hole 714; the two sides of the vertical frame 71 are respectively provided with a plurality of first connection holes 715 and a plurality of snap-fit blocks 716, and the two sides of the mounting window 11 are respectively provided with a plurality of second connection holes 111 and a plurality of snap-fit slots 112; the graphics card mounting bracket 7 also includes an L-shaped pressure block 72, and the L-shaped pressure block 72 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connection part 712.
[0036] In actual use, when installing the graphics card, firstly, the snap-fit block 716 on one side of the vertical mounting frame 71 is snapped into the snap-fit slot 112 of the mounting window 11. Then, the first connecting hole 715 on the other side of the vertical mounting frame 71 is aligned with the second connecting hole 111 on the mounting window 11, and the two are connected by threaded fasteners. At this time, the support part 713 is supported on the support top surface 41. Next, the connecting piece 91 of the mounting bracket 9 is placed on the L-shaped connecting part 712 and the plug-in piece 92 is inserted into the plug-in hole 714. Then, the L-shaped pressure block 72 is placed on the L-shaped connecting part 712 and the connecting piece 91. The vertical plate of the L-shaped pressure block 72 and the vertical plate of the L-shaped connecting part 712 are respectively provided with connecting through holes. The L-shaped pressure block 72 and the L-shaped connecting part 712 are connected by threaded fasteners passing through the connecting through holes. In this way, the mounting bracket 9 and the vertical mounting frame 71 are fixedly connected by the L-shaped pressure block 72, thereby fixing one end of the graphics card 8 to the vertical mounting frame 71. Furthermore, the top support surface 41 provides a certain load-bearing capacity for the vertical frame 71, preventing the vertical frame 71 from sagging due to the weight of the graphics card 8.
[0037] More specifically, such as Figure 3 and 5 As shown, removable dustproof mesh panels 20 are installed in the gaps of both the mounting window 11 and the graphics card mounting bracket 7. In this embodiment, by installing the removable dustproof mesh panels 20, it helps to prevent dust in the air from entering the interior of the chassis through the gaps, thus extending the service life of the internal components of the chassis.
[0038] More specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a heat dissipation hole 21 is provided on the base plate 2 at the position corresponding to the cooling fan 5. In this embodiment, since the support leg 30 separates the base plate 2 from the external support surface, the heat dissipation hole 21 on the base plate 2 helps the cooling fan 5 on the base plate 2 to drive airflow into or out of the heat dissipation hole 21 on the base plate 2, effectively improving the heat dissipation performance of the computer case.
[0039] More specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, one of the support legs 30 is provided with a front functional area 31, which includes at least one of a USB port, a Type-C port, a headphone / microphone jack, a power button, and an indicator light. In existing computer cases, the front functional area is typically located on the front panel. In this embodiment, by placing the front functional area on one of the support legs 30, the front panel area of the computer case can be made more concise and aesthetically pleasing.
[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
