Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable 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 will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] like Figure 1-7As shown, an environmentally friendly computer casing includes: a main casing 1, a keyboard hole 2, a snap-fit ​​slide rail 3, a connector slot 4, a mounting hole 5, a snap-fit ​​mechanism 6, a base plate 7, snap-fit ​​protrusions 8, and connectors 9. The main casing 1 is positioned with its bottom open and facing upwards. The keyboard hole 2 is located on the main casing 1. Two snap-fit ​​slide rails 3 are provided, extending along both sides of the keyboard hole 2. The connector slot 4 is located at the top of the two snap-fit ​​slide rails 3. The mounting hole 5 is located at the end of the two snap-fit ​​slide rails 3. The snap-fit ​​mechanism 6 is located within the mounting hole 5. The base plate 7 is located above the main casing 1. Two snap-fit ​​protrusions 8 are provided, located at the two side edges of the base plate 7. The connectors 9 are located at the top of the two snap-fit ​​protrusions 8, which are situated above the two snap-fit ​​slide rails 3. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 8 and the connector 9 ensure precise positioning of the base plate 7 during sliding. Simultaneously, the connector 9 inserts into the slot 4 of the snap-fit ​​slide rail 3, further enhancing the connection's stability and preventing displacement of the base plate 7 during use. The two snap-fit ​​slide rails 3 not only provide guidance for the installation of the base plate 7 but also, through their cooperation with the slot 4, achieve a secure connection between the base plate 7 and the main housing 1, eliminating the need for screws and reducing potential environmental pollution from screw wear and degradation.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the snap-fit ​​mechanism 6 includes: a spring member 61 placed in the mounting hole 5, a snap-fit ​​member 62 mounted on top of the spring member 61, and a fixing member 63 disposed on top of the snap-fit ​​member 62. A snap-fit ​​hole 10 is formed at the ends of the two snap-fit ​​protrusions 8. The snap-fit ​​hole 10 includes an arc-shaped cutout 101, an inner slide rail 102, and a limiting opening 103. The arc-shaped cutout 101 communicates with the inner slide rail 102, and the diameter of the arc-shaped cutout 101 is the same as the top of the fixing member 63. The limiting opening 103 is mounted above the inner slide rail 102. The diameter of the inner slide rail 102 is larger than the diameter of the limiting opening 103. The diameter of the inner slide rail 102 is the same as the top of the fixing member 63. The combination of the spring member 61 and the snap-fit ​​member 62 automatically locks the fixing member 63 using the spring force, simplifying the assembly process and enhancing the reliability of the connection. The special design of the top of the fastener 63 and its cooperation with the limiting port 103 ensure a stable connection, maintaining the integrity of the connection even under vibration or impact.

[0040] In the above embodiments, the combination of the limiting port 103 and the arc-shaped cut 101 not only ensures the correct installation of the fastener 63, but also prevents the fastener 63 from coming out through the diameter design of the limiting port 103, thus ensuring the long-term stability of the connection.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the environmentally friendly computer casing designed in this utility model, when the two snap-fit ​​protrusions 8 on the base plate 7 are inserted into the two snap-fit ​​slide rails 3 respectively, the base plate 7 is slid inward. After the base plate 7 is slid to the end, the top of the fixing member 63 is pressed down into the mounting hole 5, and the spring member 61 is squeezed. The spring member 61 is squeezed and generates a rebound force. After the spring rebounds, it pushes the top of the fixing member 63 into the arc-shaped cut 101. The top of the fixing member 63 slides into the inner slide rail 102 along the arc-shaped cut 101. The diameter of the limiting port 103 of the fixing member 63 that slides into the inner slide rail 102 is smaller than that of the inner slide rail 102, which is also smaller than the top of the fixing member 63. Therefore, the top of the fixing member 63 is snapped into the inner slide rail 102 by the limiting port 103. At the same time, the plug 9 at the top of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 8 will also slide into the plug slot 4 of the snap-fit ​​slide rail 3 to ensure a stable connection. Thus, the base plate 7 is snapped into the main casing 1. The entire process does not require the use of screw threads, so there will be no loss due to the replacement of individual screws, and thus no pollution to the environment caused by screw degradation.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
