[0002] In the field of computer hardware, the motherboard, as a core component, is crucial for its stability and reliability. Motherboards have various slots, such as graphics card slots and memory slots, for connecting important hardware devices like graphics cards and memory modules. However, in actual use, these slots are susceptible to various factors, leading to a range of problems. Regarding graphics card slots, during frequent insertion and removal of the graphics card, the weight of the card itself and the external forces involved can cause the pins soldered to the circuit board to shift or detach. Once these pins malfunction, the connection between the graphics card and the motherboard becomes unstable, leading to display abnormalities, crashes, or even the inability to boot, severely impacting the normal use of the computer.

[0003] Memory slots also face numerous challenges. After prolonged use, dust and other impurities easily accumulate inside the slots. These impurities not only affect the contact between the memory module and the slot, leading to poor contact, but can also cause serious problems such as short circuits. Furthermore, improper handling during memory module insertion and removal can easily cause physical damage to the memory slots, thereby affecting the normal operation of the memory modules and reducing the overall performance of the computer. To effectively solve these problems, improve the stability and reliability of motherboard slots, and extend the lifespan of the motherboard and related hardware, the development of a dedicated computer motherboard slot protection device is particularly necessary.

[0026] Example 1: This example provides a computer motherboard slot protection device, including a circuit board 1 made of common printed circuit board material. A soldering area is pre-planned and set on the front side of the top surface of the circuit board 1, where a graphics card slot protection component 2 is soldered. In the graphics card slot protection component 2, the graphics card slot 21 is a standard PCI-E slot. A rectangular metal frame 22 is tightly fitted and fixed to the bottom of the outer surface of the graphics card slot 21, and its size is adapted to the graphics card slot 21. Multiple L-shaped support bars 23 are linearly arrayed and evenly fixed to the outer surface of the rectangular metal frame 22. The vertical cross-section of the L-shaped support bar 23 is a standard L-shape. Its inner top surface is soldered to the outer surface of the graphics card slot 21, its inner middle surface is soldered to the outer surface of the rectangular metal frame 22, and its bottom surface is soldered to the pre-reserved soldering area on the front side of the top surface of the circuit board 1, providing stable support for the graphics card slot 21.

[0027] On the right side of the top surface of circuit board 1, a soldering area is also set up, where the memory slot protection component 3 is soldered. In the memory slot protection component 3, the memory slot 31 is a common DDR memory slot. A U-shaped frame 32 is tightly fixed to the outer surface of the memory slot 31. Notches are provided at both ends of the U-shaped frame 32 to allow the latches securing the memory module in the memory slot 31 to move freely. Two rubber closure pieces 34 are symmetrically positioned at the ports on the top surface of the U-shaped frame 32. The sides of the rubber closure pieces 34 that are furthest from each other are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the U-shaped frame 32. An arc-shaped elastic tension strip 33 is fixed to the outer side of the top surface of each rubber closure piece 34. The side of the arc-shaped elastic tension strip 33 furthest from the rubber closure piece 34 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the U-shaped frame 32. In addition, a CPU socket 4 is provided in the central area of ​​the top surface of the circuit board 1 for installing the CPU; on the rear side of the top surface of the circuit board 1, according to the motherboard design requirements, SATA slots, M.2 slots, power supply slots, chassis headers, I / O interfaces, USB-A interfaces, USB-C interfaces, audio interfaces, video interfaces, network cable interfaces, Thunderbolt interfaces, etc. are provided.

[0028] Example 2: The computer motherboard slot protection device in this example also includes a circuit board 1. A graphics card slot protection component 2 is installed on the front side of the top surface of the circuit board 1. A specific model of graphics card slot 21 is selected to meet the needs of different graphics cards. A rectangular metal frame 22 is customized according to the model of graphics card slot 21 and is tightly fixed to the bottom of the outer surface of the graphics card slot 21. The number and spacing of L-shaped support bars 23 are adjusted according to actual support requirements, and they are also fixed in a linear array on the outer surface of the rectangular metal frame 22. Their vertical cross-section is L-shaped, and each connection part is firmly fixed by welding to ensure the stability of the graphics card slot 21 and prevent the pins of the graphics card slot 21 soldered to the circuit board 1 from shifting or falling off when inserting or removing the graphics card. A memory slot protection component 3 is installed on the right side of the top surface of the circuit board 1. A model of memory slot 31 compatible with a specific memory module is selected. A U-shaped frame 32 tightly wraps around the memory slot 31, and the notches at both ends of the frame meet the requirements for memory module latching. The two rubber closure pieces 34 are made of rubber with a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility. They are symmetrically set at the top port of the U-shaped frame 32 and connected to the inner side wall of the U-shaped frame 32 through the arc-shaped elastic pull strip 33. This allows the rubber closure pieces 34 to open when the memory module is inserted and close when it is pulled out. They form a closed space with the buckles at the left and right ends of the U-shaped frame 32 and the memory module slot 31, sealing the internal insertion port of the memory module slot 31.

[0029] Example 3: In this example of the computer motherboard slot protection device, circuit board 1 adopts a multi-layer printed circuit board design to improve circuit stability and anti-interference capability. On the front side of the top surface of circuit board 1, the graphics card slot 21 of the graphics card slot protection component 2 is selected to support the latest graphics card technology standard. The rectangular metal frame 22 is made of titanium alloy and is tightly fixed to the bottom of the outer surface of the graphics card slot 21 through processing. The shape and size of the L-shaped support bar 23 are optimized, with an L-shaped vertical cross-section. The connecting parts are welded to provide reliable support for the graphics card slot 21 and prevent pin problems caused by external force. On the right side of the top surface of circuit board 1, the memory slot 31 of the memory slot protection component 3 is selected to support high-speed memory. The U-shaped frame 32 fits tightly with the memory slot 31, and the size of the notches at the left and right ends is designed according to the size of the memory clip. The rubber closure piece 34 is made of high-quality rubber material, which has good wear resistance and elastic recovery ability. It is symmetrically set at the top port of the U-shaped frame 32 and connected to the inner side wall of the U-shaped frame 32 through the arc-shaped elastic pull strip 33, realizing the automatic opening and closing function when the memory module is inserted and removed. Together with the U-shaped frame 32 and the buckles at both ends of the memory module slot 31, it forms a closed space, effectively sealing the internal insertion port of the memory module slot 31.

[0030] Based on the above-described preferred technical solution, the workflow of this technical solution is explained as follows:

[0031] During the operation of the computer motherboard slot protection device, when a graphics card needs to be installed, the operator aligns the graphics card with the graphics card slot 21 on the front side of the top surface of the circuit board 1. During the insertion of the graphics card, the graphics card slot 21 remains stable due to the support of the rectangular metal frame 22 and multiple L-shaped support bars 23. The rectangular metal frame 22 is tightly fitted to the bottom of the outer surface of the graphics card slot 21. The multiple L-shaped support bars 23 are fixed in a linear array on the outer surface of the rectangular metal frame 22, and their vertical cross-section is L-shaped, with their inner top surface fixedly connected to the outer surface of the graphics card slot 21. The inner middle section surface is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rectangular metal frame 22, and the bottom surface is fixedly connected to the top surface of the circuit board 1. This structure can provide stable support for the graphics card slot 21, preventing the pins of the graphics card slot 21 soldered on the circuit board 1 from shifting or falling off due to external force during the insertion of the graphics card. The graphics card can be used normally after it is successfully inserted into the graphics card slot 21. When the graphics card needs to be removed, the operator can remove the graphics card normally. During the removal process, the graphics card slot 21 still relies on the support of the rectangular metal frame 22 and the L-shaped support bar 23 to maintain stability and avoid problems with the pins.

[0032] When installing the memory module, the operator aligns it with the memory slot 31 on the right side of the top surface of circuit board 1. During insertion, the memory module pushes open two rubber closure tabs 34. The sides of the rubber closure tabs 34 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the U-shaped frame 32. An arc-shaped elastic tension strip 33 is fixed to the outer side of the top surface of each rubber closure tab 34. The side of the arc-shaped elastic tension strip 33 that is far away from the rubber closure tab 34 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the U-shaped frame 32. When the memory module pushes open the rubber closure tabs 34, the arc-shaped elastic tension strip 33 is stretched and elastically deformed, allowing the memory module to be smoothly inserted. After slot 31 is inserted, the latches on the memory slot 31 used to lock the memory module will pass through the notches on the left and right ends of the U-shaped frame 32 for normal locking. At this time, the U-shaped frame 32, the latches on the left and right ends of the memory slot 31 used to lock the memory module, and the two rubber closing pieces 34 together form a relatively closed space, which plays a certain role in sealing the internal socket of the memory slot 31. When the memory module needs to be removed, the operator removes the memory module normally. During the removal process, the elastic deformation recovery force of the arc-shaped elastic pull strip 33 will cause the rubber closing pieces 34 to come closer to each other and close again, continuing to seal the internal socket of the memory slot 31.

[0033] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
