[0002] The power supply for a computer includes a circuit board, electronic components mounted on the circuit board, a switching module electrically connected to the circuit board, and a housing that houses the components. The switching module is attached to the surface of the housing, and electronic connecting wires are soldered from the rear of the switching module to the circuit board inside the housing.

[0003] Such an assembly process is not only complex, but soldering within the limited space of the casing is also quite difficult. If unexpected solder dross is generated during soldering, it is difficult to remove and can easily lead to equipment malfunction. Furthermore, the switch module's attachment to the casing leaves keyholes. These keyholes are unsightly, potentially reducing consumer willingness to purchase, and may even cause psychological discomfort to certain individuals. On the other hand, exposed screws affect the flatness of the casing, causing excessive friction and vibration when the power supply is installed in the computer host's slot, affecting the quality of installation.

[0045] To fully understand this utility model, the following specific embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a detailed description. Those skilled in the art can understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that this utility model can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the inventive point of this utility model. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings of this utility model are for simple illustration only and are not depictions based on actual dimensions. The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this utility model in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the claims of this utility model. The explanation is as follows:

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 100 of the switch module 200 in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a first component 1 and a second component 2.

[0047] The first component 1 has a first plane, which has at least one switch mounting hole. In this embodiment, the first plane has two switch mounting holes 11a and 11b, which are used to install the power switch 3a and the socket switch 3b, respectively. However, this utility model is not limited to this, and the first plane may have only one or more switch mounting holes to meet the power switch installation requirements of the switch module 200.

[0048] The second component 2 has a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane of the first component 1. The second plane is provided with at least one locking hole 21, and the opening direction of the locking hole 21 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the switch mounting holes 11a and 11b.

[0049] Such a mounting plate 100, together with the switch electronic component 3, can be combined in the switch mounting holes 11a, 11b or at least one of them to form a switch module 200.

[0050] The switching electronic component 3 is, for example, either a power switch 3a or a socket switch 3b. The power switch 3a is a switch that provides power on or off, while the socket switch 3b is a switch that provides a power interface for a socket. In this embodiment, the switching electronic component 3 includes a power switch 3a and a socket switch 3b, respectively disposed in two switch mounting holes 11a and 11b.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the switch module 200 may further selectively include a circuit board 4 and an electronic wire assembly 5, the electronic wire assembly 5 connecting one or more switch electronic components 3 and the circuit board 4. The switch electronic components 3 can be pre-connected to the circuit board 4 via the electronic wire assembly 5 without needing to be soldered inside the housing 6 of the power supply 300.

[0052] The following shows how to install the switch module 200 to form the power supply 300. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the power supply 300 includes a switch module 200 and a housing 6. The housing 6 includes a base 61 and a top cover 62.

[0053] The base 61 includes a bottom wall 611, a first direction side wall 612, and a first extension 613. The first direction side wall 612 is connected to the bottom wall 611, and the first extension 613 is vertically connected to the first direction side wall 612.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, during installation, the circuit board 4 can be selectively placed above the bottom wall 611 first. Then, the mounting plate 100, which already contains the switch electronic component 3, is slid obliquely into the pre-drilled hole from behind the first-direction side wall 612, so that the first component 1 of the mounting plate 100 is parallel to the first-direction side wall 612, and the second component 2 of the mounting plate 100 is parallel to and locked to the first extension 613, wherein the locking hole 21 is directly opposite the locking hole 6131 of the first extension 613. The result after locking is as follows. Figure 5 As shown. At this time, the mounting plate 100 / switch module 200 is fixed to the base 61 by locking located in the first extension 613.

[0055] Next, the top cover 62 is placed over the first extension 613, forming a hexahedral structure. Since the first extension 613 is only a small vertical extension of a portion of the first direction sidewall 612, it does not affect the loading of components inside the housing 6. The covering of the top cover 62 also conceals the locking holes 21 and 6131 of the mounting plate 100 and the first extension 613, preventing these openings from being directly exposed. Therefore, the power supply 300 of this invention can contact other devices using its smooth, flat surface, allowing for smooth movement, avoiding excessive friction and vibration, providing excellent installation quality, and having a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, reducing the possibility of psychological discomfort for certain individuals.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the edge of the first plane is provided with at least one notch 12. The notch 12 allows the first component 1 to be elastically deformed into the reserved hole in the first direction sidewall 612, which facilitates assembly.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the second component 2 has a clearance hole 22 located between two locking holes 21, for providing passage for the grounding element. More specifically, as... Figure 5 As shown, a grounding element, such as a grounding screw, can pass through the grounding hole 6132 of the first extension 613 and directly contact the switch electronic component 3, thereby grounding the switch electronic component 3 and the housing 6 and providing a more stable locking effect.

[0058] In addition, in this embodiment, the second component 2 is in the form of a bent sheet metal part, which gives the second component 2 elasticity to push against the first extension 613, so that the second component 2 and the first extension 613 actively close together. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The second component 2 may also be a single planar structure, with the entire second component 2 having only a second plane and the entire second component 2 being vertically connected to the first component 1.

[0059] This utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely for illustrating the utility model and should not be construed as limiting its scope. It should be noted that all variations and substitutions equivalent to the described embodiments should be included within the scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
