Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chassis, specifically an assembled chassis. Background Technology
[0002] Modular chassis refers to a computer chassis with a flexible design and adjustable structure. Its core feature is that it allows users to freely adjust the internal layout and functional configuration according to their needs through detachable and reassembleable components.
[0003] Although the existing modular cases on the market offer a relatively high degree of freedom in combination, they are basically still limited to the same outer frame, and the overall appearance is still relatively simple. Once customized, the appearance frame is fixed and cannot be flexibly changed later. Therefore, visual fatigue will occur after long-term use, making the existing modular cases not flexible enough in terms of DIY freedom and quite limited. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or alterations to the present invention, as well as to square or rectangular modules of various sizes within the range of 180mm*180mm, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0031] Example: A prefabricated chassis, comprising a basic module and a special module;
[0032] The basic module includes multiple first connecting plates 1, second connecting plates 2, and corner connectors 3. Both the first connecting plates 1 and 2 are square or rectangular, with the area of the first connecting plate 1 being larger than that of the second connecting plate 2. The first connecting plate 1 is a 60mm x 60mm square sheet with unlimited thickness and 3mm diameter circular holes on all four sides, arranged modularly. The second connecting plate 2 is a 12mm x 12mm square sheet with M3 threaded holes at its four corners for connecting all planar components.
