[0026] In addition, the rear panel 1 of the chassis can be equipped with multiple ventilation holes and fan mounting positions to improve the chassis's heat dissipation performance. The first side panel 2 and the second side panel 4 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic, ensuring the chassis's durability while reducing overall weight. A damping hinge can be installed at the connection between the third side panel 6 and the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 4, making the opening and closing process smoother. Damping hinges are a common existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The front panel 5 of the chassis is designed to be removable, allowing users to easily replace or upgrade the front panel as needed.

[0027] This new type of flip-top host chassis has a reasonable structural design, is easy to operate, has good heat dissipation and expandability, and is highly aesthetically pleasing, meeting users' personalized display needs. It can be widely used in various types of desktop computer hosts.

[0028] The first side panel 2 has three hinge mounting parts evenly spaced along its folded edge: a first hinge mounting part 201, a second hinge mounting part 202, and a third hinge mounting part 203. These three mounting parts are equally spaced and are used to install hinges to achieve a rotatable connection between the first side panel 2 and the third side panel 6. A monitor mounting part 204 is located at the end of the first side panel 2 furthest from the hinge mounting parts. This monitor mounting part 204 is a rectangular through-hole for mounting and fixing a monitor device, facilitating the integration of the LCD screen 3 with the host chassis. The LCD screen 3 is electrically connected to the motherboard, allowing users to read information such as computer operating data (temperature, fan speed, memory usage, etc.), saving space and improving overall aesthetics. The edge of the first side panel 2 also features a first transition arc 205, optimizing the streamlined design of the chassis and providing safety by preventing injury from sharp edges.

[0029] The edge of the second side panel 4 is provided with a second transition arc 401, which is symmetrical to the first transition arc 205 on the first side panel 2. This allows the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 4 to form a smooth transition curve when closed, further enhancing the overall aesthetics and structural harmony of the chassis. In addition, the design of the second transition arc 401 also makes it easier for users to grip when operating the flip cover, improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0030] The top of the third side plate 6 is sequentially provided with a fourth hinge mounting part 601, a fifth hinge mounting part 602, and a sixth hinge mounting part 603. The spacing between the three hinge mounting parts is evenly distributed to ensure the connection stability and smooth rotation between the first side plate 2 and the third side plate 6. A first support surface 604 is provided between the fourth hinge mounting part 601 and the sixth hinge mounting part 603, and a second support surface 605 is provided between the sixth hinge mounting part 603 and the fifth hinge mounting part 602. The first support surface 604 and the second support surface 605 are planar structures, used to provide support when the first side plate 2 and the third side plate 6 are perpendicular, ensuring the stability of the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 6 when they are closed. When the chassis is closed, the user can place ornaments on the first side plate 2. The support of the first support surface 604 and the second support surface 605 on the first side plate 2 further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the chassis.

[0031] The first hinge mounting part 201 is paired with the fourth hinge mounting part 601, the second hinge mounting part 202 is paired with the fifth hinge mounting part 602, and the third hinge mounting part 203 is paired with the sixth hinge mounting part 603. The first side plate 2 and the third side plate 6 are hinged by a damping hinge. The design of the damping hinge allows the first side plate 2 to open and close smoothly during rotation, avoiding impact or noise caused by rapid opening and closing. At the same time, it can be suspended at any angle to meet the user's display needs and facilitate user operation and maintenance. When the first side plate 2 and the third side plate 6 are perpendicular to each other, the first support surface 604 and the second support surface 605 are completely in contact with the inner surface of the first side plate 2, forming a stable support structure to ensure the overall load-bearing capacity and the stability of the overall structure.

[0032] Furthermore, the surfaces of the first support surface 604 and the second support surface 605 may be provided with anti-slip textures or cushioning materials to enhance friction when in contact with the first side panel 2 and prevent the first side panel 2 from accidentally closing due to external forces. Through the above design, the third side panel 6 not only achieves efficient connection with the first side panel 2, but also improves the overall structural strength of the chassis and the user experience, making it more suitable for high-frequency opening and closing scenarios.

[0033] The front panel 5 of the chassis includes a magnetic module 9 and a decorative panel 10. The magnetic module 9 has six magnets 901 on its frame, which are evenly distributed around the frame to ensure that the decorative panel 10 can be firmly and stably attached to the magnetic module 9.

The first folded edge 606 and the second folded edge 701 cooperate with each other and are firmly connected to form a stable connection structure, ensuring the stability and reliability of the two side panels in the overall chassis frame, while improving the structural strength of the chassis.

[0036] At the rear of the chassis 1, the graphics card module 8 and the power supply bracket 11 are installed via a movable connection. This design not only facilitates component replacement and maintenance but also allows for appropriate adjustments and optimizations to the chassis interior when necessary. One end of the power supply bracket 11 has an arc-shaped hole 1101. This arc-shaped hole 1101 is not only aesthetically pleasing but also increases ventilation and optimizes airflow, helping to improve the chassis's internal heat dissipation performance and prevent equipment damage due to overheating.

[0037] The first side panel 2 of this new design is hinged to the third side panel 6 via a damping hinge, enabling a flip-top function. This facilitates maintenance and display of the internal hardware, and different flip-top angles allow the chassis to present different states, offering high playability, better heat dissipation, and a wider field of view for showcasing internal hardware and decorative items. The first side panel 2 features a monitor mounting section 204, which can integrate an LCD screen 3 to display real-time computer operating data. The front panel 5 of the chassis uses a magnetic module 9 and a decorative panel 10 design, supporting quick assembly and disassembly, enhancing aesthetics and practicality, and allowing users to easily replace the decorative panel 10. The rear panel 1 of the chassis has ventilation holes and a fan mounting position to optimize heat dissipation. The overall design combines functionality, aesthetics, and expandability, making it suitable for various desktop computer hosts and meeting users' personalized needs.
