[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments in this application specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a replaceable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 The first aspect of this application provides a quick-release nut, including: a stud 10 and a nut body 20.

[0045] The stud 10 has a groove 11 on its radial side. It should be noted that, for ease of explanation, this application uses an example where the stud 10 is placed vertically and the nut body 20 is located above the stud 10. The radial side of the stud 10 refers to the side of the stud 10 along the horizontal direction.

[0046] The nut body 20 has a through hole 21. The through hole 21 is vertical and can be either a through hole or a blind hole. The nut body 20 has a retaining block 22 inside the through hole 21; the stud 10 can be inserted into the through hole 21 from bottom to top.

[0047] The nut body 20 can rotate relative to the stud 10; after the stud 10 passes through the through hole 21, the rotation of the nut body 20 can drive the locking block 22 into the groove 11 so that the locking block 22 and the groove 11 are engaged, or drive the locking block 22 out of the groove 11 so that the locking block 22 and the groove 11 are disengaged.

[0048] Specifically, after the stud 10 is inserted into the locking block 22 and locked into the groove 11, the groove 11 and the locking block 22 form an axial limiting fit. At this time, the nut body 20 cannot move along the axial direction of the stud 10, thereby ensuring a stable axial connection between the nut body 20 and the stud 10.

[0049] When the quick-release nut provided in this embodiment is applied to plate connection applications, the stud 10 and the nut body 20 can be used to connect the plate and the support member, respectively. For example, the plate is stacked in front of the support member, the front end of the stud 10 can pass through the support member and the plate in sequence, and the rear end of the stud 10 abuts against the support member; the nut body 20 is engaged with the stud 10, forming a limit on the plate and the support member; specifically, at this time, the stud 10 passes through the plate and the support member, so the plate and the support member cannot move radially along the stud 10. At the same time, due to the limiting effect after the nut body 20 and the stud 10 are engaged, the plate and the support member cannot move axially along the stud 10, thereby achieving a stable connection between the plate and the support member.

[0050] When it is necessary to disassemble the plate, the user turns the nut body 20 to disengage the locking block 22 from the groove 11, thereby releasing the locking between the nut body 20 and the stud 10. At this time, the nut body 20 can move away from the stud 10 along the axial direction of the stud 10, and then the plate can be removed from the support, realizing convenient and quick separation of the plate and the support.

[0051] In summary, the quick-release nuts provided in this embodiment allow users to manually assemble and disassemble plates and supports without the need for special tools. This avoids the inconvenience of carrying special tools, improves installation and disassembly efficiency, and simplifies the operation process.

[0052] In practical applications, the quick-release nuts provided in this embodiment are suitable for situations where the installed components do not need to be moved frequently, such as the assembly and maintenance of computer motherboards, computer cases, and other equipment. Compared with the existing assembly method using screwdrivers and screws, this embodiment is more suitable for environments with limited space and inconvenient operation.

[0053] In one embodiment, when installing the nut body 20, the nut body 20 can be adjusted so that the locking block 22 is offset from the groove 11 so that the stud 10 can be smoothly inserted. Then, the nut body 20 is rotated so that the locking block 22 enters the groove 11, thus completing the engagement of the nut body 20 and the stud 10.

[0054] In another embodiment, the locking block 22 is an elastic locking block. When the nut body 20 is installed, without misalignment between the locking block 22 and the groove 11, the stud 10 can push open the elastic locking block 22, and as the stud 10 is inserted, the locking block 22 enters the groove 11. Therefore, in this embodiment, the elastic locking block 22 can further improve the ease of assembling and disassembling the nut body 20 and the stud 10.

[0055] In a more specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2The locking block 22 is a horizontally extending strip spring; the strip spring has a wave-like shape that undulates in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the locking block 22 is a flat spring sheet structure, which undulates in the horizontal direction (that is, radially undulating towards the stud 10) and has the ability to deform in the horizontal direction. When the stud 10 is inserted, the locking block 22 is compressed and deformed in the horizontal direction so that the stud 10 can pass through the locking block 22; when the stud 10 moves to the position where the groove 11 aligns with the locking block 22, the locking block 22 returns to its original shape and locks into the groove 11, realizing the engagement between the nut body 20 and the stud 10.

[0056] In one embodiment, the top surface of the stud 10 is configured as a bevel with its normal facing outward. This bevel allows the top surface of the stud 10 to form a tapered structure with a cross-sectional area that gradually increases from top to bottom, so that the stud 10 can pass through the locking block 22 from bottom to top.

[0057] Optionally, in practical applications, multiple grooves 11 can be provided on the radial outer periphery of the stud 10; correspondingly, multiple retaining blocks 22 are also provided on the nut body 20. Figures 1 to 2 In the illustrated embodiment, taking the stud 10 with two grooves 11 and the nut body 20 with two locking blocks 22 as an example, the two grooves 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stud 10, and the two locking blocks 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the nut body 20. Correspondingly, the top surface of the stud 10 is configured as two symmetrically arranged conical structures with inclined surfaces.

[0058] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The radial side of the stud 10 is provided with a positioning notch 12; the positioning notch 12 and the groove 11 are offset in the circumferential direction of the stud 10; the positioning notch 12 is used for the locking block 22 to be engaged, so as to provide resistance to the locking block 22 to prevent it from rotating horizontally.

[0059] Specifically, the positioning notch 12 can temporarily position the locking block 22, and when the positioning notch 12 engages with the locking block 22, the locking block 22 separates from the groove 11. When the nut body 20 needs to be removed, as the user rotates the nut body 20, the positioning notch 12 can provide the user with tactile feedback indicating that it has been rotated into place, helping the user to determine whether the locking block 22 and the groove 11 have separated.

[0060] In one implementation, the positioning notch 12 is configured to extend circumferentially along the stud 10.

[0061] Optionally, the outer periphery of the nut body 20 is provided with friction grooves to facilitate the user's rotation of the nut body 20. The specific shape and size of the positioning notch 12 can be designed according to actual needs to ensure the fitting accuracy with the locking block 22.

[0062] In one embodiment, the top end of the nut body 20 is provided with a tool interface structure; the bottom end of the stud 10 is provided with a tool interface structure.

[0063] The tool interface structure can be, for example, an internal hexagonal hole, an external hexagonal structure, a slotted slot, or a Phillips head slot, so that when the nut body 20 and the stud 10 are fixed in a state where they cannot be rotated, the user can perform rotation operations using the corresponding tools.

[0064] In one embodiment, the nut body 20 includes an upper nut body 201 and a lower nut body 202; the upper nut body 201 is disposed on the lower nut body 202; and a retaining block 22 is clamped between the upper nut body 201 and the lower nut body 202. Optionally, the upper nut body 201 and the lower nut body 202 are threadedly connected.

[0065] A second aspect of this application provides a motherboard component; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 It includes: a base plate 30, a main plate 40, and a quick-release nut of any of the above; the stud 10 in the quick-release nut is fixed on the base plate 30; the main plate 40 is provided with a through hole 41; the stud 10 passes through the through hole 41; the nut body 20 in the quick-release nut is engaged with the stud 10.

[0066] In this embodiment, when assembling the base plate 30 and the main plate 40, it is only necessary to align the through hole 41 with the stud 10 and then rotate the stud 10 into the through hole 41. After that, the nut body 20 is installed and the nut body 20 is turned so that the groove 11 and the locking block 22 are engaged. The operation process is efficient and convenient.

[0067] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
