Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer enclosure assembly technology, and specifically to an I / O baffle mounting structure. Background technology:
[0002] An I / O shield is a metal or plastic component on the rear of a computer chassis used to cover the motherboard's I / O interface area. Its main functions include dust prevention, reducing electromagnetic interference, securing interfaces, and improving aesthetics. It is typically made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy and has custom-designed openings for different motherboard interface layouts (such as USB, Ethernet, and audio interfaces). Traditional installation requires the shield's protruding side to face outwards, and it must be aligned with the pre-drilled slots from inside the chassis and pressed into place. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN 218100097U discloses a rear I / O shield structure for a desktop computer chassis, including a shield body with several interface clearance slots corresponding to the motherboard interfaces. The shield body also has elastic inserts, and the rear side panel of the chassis connected to the shield body has a shield mounting groove. The side wall of the mounting groove has roller blocks that engage with the elastic inserts. This utility model allows the elastic insert to be inserted into the roller clip on the side wall of the baffle mounting groove. At this time, the first elastic plate and the second elastic plate abut against the inner side wall of the baffle mounting groove, and the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are attached to the four sides of the baffle mounting groove. This arrangement can improve the assembly stability between the baffle body and the chassis, prevent the baffle body from loosening, and the installation method is simple and convenient. Just align the elastic insert on the baffle body with the roller clip inserted on the side wall of the baffle mounting groove.
[0003] Some high-end motherboards use an integrated bracket design, which involves fixing the bracket to the motherboard with screws. However, due to insufficient support from the bracket, it is prone to shaking and breaking after being fixed to the motherboard on one side.
[0004] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Utility Model Content:
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an IO baffle mounting structure.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an IO baffle mounting structure, comprising: an IO baffle and a support frame for supporting the IO baffle, wherein one side of the IO baffle is riveted to the upper beam of the support frame, and the other side of the IO baffle and the lower end of the support frame are fixed to the motherboard by a first screw.
[0007] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the first mounting part on the other side of the IO baffle and the lower end of the support frame are located on both sides of the motherboard, and are fixed by the first screw passing through the first mounting part and the lower end of the motherboard and support frame.
[0008] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, there are two first mounting parts, located at both ends of the IO baffle and corresponding to the columns on both sides of the support frame.
[0009] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bottom of the column is provided with a threaded hole for connection and fixation with the first screw.
[0010] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the lower end face of the upper beam is provided with multiple riveting parts, and the IO baffle is provided with a positioning plate extending to the lower end face of the upper beam. The positioning plate is provided with multiple mounting holes corresponding to the riveting parts.
[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the support frame is a plastic part, and one side of the IO baffle is connected and fixed to the upper beam of the support frame by hot riveting.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, before installing the IO bracket, it is first riveted and fixed to the support frame, and then the IO bracket and the support frame are fixed to the motherboard with the first screw. The support frame supports the IO bracket, ensuring that the IO bracket will not shake, bend or deform on the motherboard, thereby improving the service life of the IO bracket.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the bottom of the support frame is pressed against the front of the motherboard, and the first mounting part of the IO baffle is bent to the back of the motherboard. The first screw passes through the first mounting part and the motherboard in sequence and is fixed to the support frame, so that the motherboard is sandwiched in the middle by the first mounting part and the support frame, thereby improving the stability of the support frame for supporting the IO baffle. Attached image description:

[0017] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Figure 1 ;
[0018] Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Figure 2 . Detailed implementation method:
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0020] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an I / O bracket mounting structure includes an I / O bracket 1 and a support frame 2 for supporting the I / O bracket 1. One side of the I / O bracket 1 is riveted to the upper beam 21 of the support frame 2, and the other side of the I / O bracket 1 and the lower end of the support frame 2 are fixed to the motherboard 5 by a first screw 4. By riveting the I / O bracket 1 to the support frame 2 before installation, and then fixing the I / O bracket 1 and the support frame 2 to the motherboard 5 with the first screw 4, the support frame 2 provides support for the I / O bracket 1, ensuring that the I / O bracket 1 will not wobble, bend, or deform on the motherboard 5, thus extending the service life of the I / O bracket 1.
[0021] The first mounting portion 11 on the other side of the IO baffle 1 and the lower end of the support frame 2 are located on both sides of the motherboard 5, respectively. A first screw 4 passes through the first mounting portion 11 and the motherboard 5 to fix it to the lower end of the support frame 2. Alternatively, the bottom of the support frame 2 is pressed against the front of the motherboard 5, and the first mounting portion 11 of the IO baffle 1 is bent to the back of the motherboard 5. The first screw 4 passes through the first mounting portion 11 and the motherboard 5 sequentially to fix it to the support frame 2, thus sandwiching the motherboard 5 between the first mounting portion 11 and the support frame 2, thereby improving the stability of the support frame 2 in supporting the IO baffle 1.
[0022] Two first mounting parts 11 are provided, located at both ends of the IO baffle 1 and corresponding to the two side columns 22 of the support frame 2. The bottom of each column 22 has threaded holes 23 for connection and fixation with first screws 4. By providing threaded holes 23 at the bottom of the columns 22 on both sides of the support frame 2 for connection and fixation with first screws 4, the support frame 2 is fixed to the motherboard 5 using two first screws 4, further improving the stability of the support frame 2 in supporting the IO baffle.
[0023] The lower end face of the upper beam 21 is provided with multiple riveting parts 24, and the IO baffle 1 is provided with a positioning plate 12 extending to the lower end face of the upper beam 21. The positioning plate 12 is provided with multiple mounting holes 13 corresponding to the riveting parts 24. The support frame 2 is a plastic part, and one side of the IO baffle 1 is connected and fixed to the upper beam 21 of the support frame 2 by hot riveting. By making the support frame 2 a plastic part, the properties of plastic hot melting can be used to quickly melt the riveting parts 24 to form rivets to fix the positioning plate 12, resulting in higher assembly efficiency, and the material is lightweight, not easily corroded, and has a long service life.
[0024] In summary, in this utility model, the IO baffle 1 is first fixed to one side of the support frame 2 by hot riveting, and then the other side of the support frame 2 and the IO baffle 1 are clamped together on the motherboard 5 and locked in place by the first screw 4. The support frame 2 is attached to one side of the IO baffle 1 for support, so that the IO baffle 1 can stand stably upright on the motherboard 5 and prevent the IO baffle 1 from bending due to insufficient strength.
