Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a locking device, specifically a computer central processing unit mounting locking device, belonging to the field of central processing unit technology. Background Technology

[0002] Computers are widely used in data processing and control systems. Their core component, the Central Processing Unit (CPU), is responsible for computation and logic control. Its main functions are interpreting computer instructions and processing data in computer software. It is the core component of a computer responsible for reading, decoding, and executing instructions. The installation stability of the CPU affects the overall performance of the computer. To prevent poor contact during operation, a locking mechanism is used to secure the CPU and ensure a stable connection at the interface.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN220252489U discloses a computer central processing unit (CPU) mounting locking device. This structure uses locking bolts to fix the locking cover to the computer motherboard. At this time, the pressure strip in the positioning groove can press the CPU in the positioning base. Since the CPU is pressed by pressure strips all around, the entire CPU is subjected to stable and uniform force. Compared with the existing two-point pressing fixation, the CPU will not be bent in the middle, thus ensuring that the CPU and the heat sink fit tightly and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0004] The aforementioned patented technology solution uses pressure strips around the perimeter to distribute force evenly, preventing the central part of the CPU from bending. However, in practical applications, it has been found that if the tightening force of the locking bolts is inconsistent, it may still cause the CPU to be pressed on one side and loose on the other, making installation more difficult.

[0005] In the aforementioned patented technical solutions, users must manually remove the four locking bolts when replacing or maintaining the central processing unit, which is a rather cumbersome process. Therefore, a computer central processing unit mounting locking device is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention proposes a computer central processing unit mounting and locking device, which simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, ensures uniform clamping force, and reduces installation difficulty.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a computer central processing unit mounting locking device, including a fixing base, the fixing base being disposed on the motherboard and fixed to the motherboard by screws, the fixing base including a U-shaped plate and a baffle, the baffle being disposed on the U-shaped plate, a rotating block being fixed on the U-shaped plate, the rotating block being connected to the baffle through a rotating shaft and a torsion spring, when the baffle is subjected to pressure, it will rotate on the rotating block, and the baffle can rotate to a vertical state.

[0008] A limiting block is fixed on the U-shaped plate. The bottom surface of the limiting block is in contact with the top surface of the baffle. Both the baffle and the limiting block are parallel to the main plate. The limiting block can limit the baffle so that the baffle can only rotate downwards and cannot rotate upwards. The baffle is used to limit the limiting plate.

[0009] It also includes a locking component, which is mounted on a fixed base. The locking component includes a fixed plate, an elastic component, and a limiting plate. The elastic component can be a spring or an elastic metal strip. The elastic component is fixed to the top surface of the fixed plate, and the upper end of the elastic component is fixed to the bottom surface of the limiting plate. The fixed plate and the limiting plate are slidably disposed within the U-shaped plate. The fixed plate and the limiting plate can slide within the U-shaped plate. After the fixed plate abuts against the fixed ear of the central processing unit, the limiting plate continues to press down, and the elastic component will be squeezed, thereby producing elastic deformation.

[0010] Both the fixed plate and the elastic component have rectangular holes in the middle. The rectangular holes not only reduce the weight of the fixed plate and the limiting plate, but also reduce the contact area with the central processing unit, thereby improving the heat dissipation of the central processing unit. Both the fixed plate and the elastic component have clearance holes. The clearance holes can avoid the rotating block and prevent the rotating block from affecting the sliding of the fixed plate and the limiting plate.

[0011] This utility model provides a computer central processing unit mounting locking device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. When the computer's central processing unit (CPU) is installed with a locking device, the fixing plate and the limiting plate are placed inside the U-shaped plate. The baffle will rotate under the pressure until both the fixing plate and the limiting plate move below the baffle. During this process, the elastic component will be compressed. After the limiting plate is limited by the baffle, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the elastic component will be transmitted to the fixing ear through the fixing plate. The installation process only requires pressing the limiting plate. The elastic force of the elastic component, in conjunction with the fixing plate, can also ensure uniform clamping force on the CPU, reducing the installation difficulty and simplifying the disassembly and assembly process.

[0021] 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention proposes the following implementation scheme: a computer central processing unit mounting locking device, including a fixing seat 1, the fixing seat 1 is disposed on the motherboard 7, the fixing seat 1 is fixed on the motherboard 7 by screws, and the fixing seat 1 includes a U-shaped plate 101 and a baffle 102.

[0023] The baffle 102 is mounted on the U-shaped plate 101, and a rotating block 103 is fixed on the U-shaped plate 101. The rotating block 103 is connected to the baffle 102 via a rotating shaft and a torsion spring. When the baffle 102 is subjected to pressure, it will rotate on the rotating block 103, and the baffle 102 can rotate to a vertical position.

[0024] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 A limiting block 104 is fixed on the U-shaped plate 101. The bottom surface of the limiting block 104 is in contact with the top surface of the baffle 102. Both the baffle 102 and the limiting block 104 are parallel to the main plate 7. The limiting block 104 can limit the baffle 102 so that the baffle 102 can only rotate downward and not upward. The baffle 102 is used to limit the limiting plate 203.

[0025] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It also includes a locking component 2, which is mounted on the fixed base 1. The locking component 2 includes a fixed plate 201, an elastic component 202 and a limiting plate 203. The elastic component 202 can be a spring or an elastic metal strip. The elastic component 202 is fixed to the top surface of the fixed plate 201, and the upper end of the elastic component 202 is fixed to the bottom surface of the limiting plate 203.

[0026] The fixing plate 201 and the limiting plate 203 are slidably disposed within the U-shaped plate 101. The fixing plate 201 and the limiting plate 203 can slide within the U-shaped plate 101. After the fixing plate 201 abuts against the fixing ear 4 of the central processing unit 3, the limiting plate 203 continues to press down, and the elastic component 202 will be squeezed, thereby generating elastic deformation.

[0027] Both the fixing plate 201 and the elastic component 202 have rectangular holes 205 in the middle. The rectangular holes 205 can not only reduce the weight of the fixing plate 201 and the limiting plate 203, but also reduce the contact area with the central processing unit 3, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the central processing unit 3.

[0028] Both the fixed plate 201 and the elastic component 202 have clearance holes 204. The clearance holes 204 can avoid the rotating block 103 and prevent the rotating block 103 from affecting the sliding of the fixed plate 201 and the limiting plate 203.

[0029] Working principle: When installing the central processing unit 3, first align the central processing unit 3 with the contact point 6 inside the mounting frame 5. Then, when the fixing plate 201 and the limiting plate 203 are placed inside the U-shaped plate 101, the fixing plate 201 and the limiting plate 203 can slide inside the U-shaped plate 101. When the fixing plate 201 abuts against the baffle 102, the baffle 102 will rotate under pressure until the baffle 102 rotates to a vertical position. At this time, the fixing plate 201 can be moved to the bottom of the baffle 102. Similarly, the limiting plate 203 is placed below the baffle 102.

[0030] During the above process, the elastic component 202 will be compressed by the limiting plate 203, thus deforming. After the limiting plate 203 is limited by the baffle 102, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the elastic component 202 will be transmitted to the fixing ear 4 through the fixing plate 201, thereby locking the central processing unit 3 and the fixing ear 4. The installation process only requires pressing the limiting plate 203. The elastic force of the elastic component 202, in conjunction with the fixing plate 201, can also ensure that the clamping force on the central processing unit 3 is uniform, reducing the installation difficulty.

[0031] When disassembling, first press down on the limiting plate 203 to further deform the elastic component 202, then manually press the baffle 102 to rotate it to a vertical position. At this point, the fixing plate 201 and the limiting plate 203 can be removed, simplifying the disassembly and assembly process.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
