[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model relates to a dustproof slot for a memory module, including a memory connector 1, a dust cover 2, fasteners 3, and a sealing element 4. The memory connector 1 has a memory slot 11 formed along its length at its upper part. The fasteners 3 are provided at both ends of the memory connector 1. The dust cover 2 is used to cover the upper part of the memory connector 1. The sealing element 4 is located between the dust cover 2 and the memory connector 1 to seal the memory slot 11 at the upper part of the memory connector 1. The fasteners 3 at both ends of the memory connector 1 are used to press the dust cover 2 tightly against the upper part of the memory connector 1.

[0028] In this invention, when the memory module dustproof slot is not in use, the dustproof cover 2 is pressed onto the upper part of the memory connector 1 to cover the memory slot 11. At the same time, the sealing member 4 is located between the dustproof cover 2 and the memory connector 1 to further seal the memory slot 11 and prevent dust from entering the memory slot 11. Finally, the fastener 3 can press the dustproof cover 2 tightly to ensure that the dustproof cover 2 stably seals the memory slot 11, so as to avoid server failure due to dust accumulation in the memory module dustproof slot under long-term use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the dust cover 2 is provided with side cover plates 21 on both sides along the length direction, and the two side cover plates 21 are respectively attached to the two sides of the memory connector 1 along the length direction.

[0030] By having the side cover plates 21 of the dust cover 2 on both sides along the length direction correspondingly and tightly attached to the two sides along the length direction of the memory connector 1, the sealing performance can be enhanced on the one hand, and the stability between the dust cover 2 and the memory connector 1 can be enhanced on the other hand.

[0031] Preferably, the sealing element 4 is provided between the side cover plate 21 and the memory connector 1, thereby further enhancing the sealing performance.

[0032] Specifically, the sealing element 4 is affixed to the side of the dust cover 2 and the side cover plate 21 near the memory connector 1. The sealing element 4 is a rubber pad or a silicone pad to ensure the sealing of the dust cover 2 to the memory slot 11 on the memory connector 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the memory connector 1 has mounting bases 12 at both ends along its length. The two fasteners 3 are rotatably connected to the two mounting bases 12 in a one-to-one correspondence. The upper end and lower end of the fastener 3 are respectively provided with an upper protrusion 31 and a lower protrusion 32. The lower protrusion 32 enters the memory slot 11 from the bottom of the memory connector 1 upwards.

[0034] When the dust cover 2 is pressed onto the upper part of the memory connector 1, the dust cover 2 pushes the lower protrusion 32 downward out of the memory slot 11, and allows the fastener 3 to rotate, so that the upper protrusion 31 is fastened onto the upper part of the dust cover 2.

[0035] That is, when the user presses the dust cover 2 onto the upper part of the memory connector 1, it can simultaneously drive the fastener 3 to rotate, so that the upper protrusion 31 at the upper end of the fastener 3 can hold the dust cover 2, so as to facilitate the installation and fixation of the dust cover 2, enhance the stability of the position of the dust cover 2, and enhance the sealing performance of the dust cover 2.

[0036] Specifically, the dust cover 2 has a retaining plate 22 at both ends along its length. The upper end of the retaining plate 22 protrudes from the upper part of the dust cover 2, and the lower end of the retaining plate 22 protrudes from the lower part of the dust cover 2. When the dust cover 2 is pressed against the upper part of the memory connector 1, the lower end of the retaining plate 22 pushes the lower protrusion 32 to drive the fastener 3 to rotate, so that the upper protrusion 31 is fastened to the upper end of the retaining plate 22.

[0037] By setting the card plate 22, the lower end of the card plate 22 can be inserted into the memory slot 11 and push the lower protrusion 32 out of the memory slot 11, thereby allowing the fastener 3 to rotate and drive the upper protrusion 31 to fasten to the upper end of the card plate 22.

[0038] In this embodiment, guide grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the two mounting bases 12 facing each other from top to bottom. When the dust cover 2 is pressed on the upper part of the memory connector 1, the card plate 22 slides into the guide grooves 13 from top to bottom.

[0039] By providing guide grooves 13 from top to bottom on both sides of the two mounting bases 12 facing each other, the card plate 22 can be guided, which facilitates the installation of the dust cover 2 and ensures the stability of the position when the dust cover 2 is pressed on the memory connector 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper part of the upper protrusion 31 is provided with a plurality of steps 33 at intervals, thereby forming an anti-slip texture on the upper part of the upper protrusion 31, so as to facilitate the user to unfasten the fastener 3.

[0041] In summary, the dustproof slot for memory modules of this invention can provide dust protection when not in use, preventing the memory slot 11 from being exposed to the air and preventing dust from accumulating inside the memory slot 11 and affecting electrical connection performance. Therefore, the dustproof slot for memory modules can effectively prevent dust in the air from entering the memory slot 11, protecting the memory slot 11 while ensuring the normal operation of the motherboard.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
