[0002] In today's industrial automation and control systems, industrial PCs have become a core component. With the increasing diversity of industrial environments and the rapid pace of technological development, effectively improving the stability and adaptability of industrial PC components has become a pressing issue in the industry. This is especially true when dealing with PCIe cards, where environmental factors have a more significant impact on performance. Many users, facing these challenges, attempt to enhance the shock and heat resistance of PCIe cards by customizing mounting hardware. However, since custom hardware is typically designed for specific card specifications and dimensions, it often becomes unusable once new card parameters change, particularly in interface layout, size, and performance characteristics. This low adaptability and poor versatility significantly increases the complexity of maintenance, further increasing maintenance costs and downtime. Summary of the Invention

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0034] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0035] The embodiments of the utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, a mounting bracket for an industrial PCIe board includes the following components:

[0037] L-shaped bracket.

[0038] The L-shaped bracket abuts against the bottom of the PCIe board, and both ends of the L-shaped bracket are connected to the inner wall of the industrial computer.

[0039] The L-shaped bracket includes a base plate 1, the long side of which is parallel to the long side of the PCIe card. One side of the base plate 1 abuts against the bottom of the PCIe card, and a reinforcing plate 2 is vertically provided on the other side of the base plate 1, with the long side of the base plate 1 parallel to the long side of the reinforcing plate 2.

[0040] The tight fit between the L-shaped bracket and the bottom of the PCIe card effectively reduces loosening caused by vibration, ensuring stable operation of the card in industrial environments over extended periods. Furthermore, the excellent contact between the upper part of the base plate and the bottom of the PCIe card improves heat dissipation, reducing the impact of high temperatures on card performance. The two ends of the L-shaped bracket are connected to the inner wall of the industrial computer via support components, forming a robust frame that increases bracket stability, withstands higher loads, reduces the risk of deformation due to prolonged operation or environmental factors, and facilitates installation and disassembly. This makes component replacement easier, reduces downtime, and significantly improves system maintainability. Ultimately, it enhances the stability and adaptability of PCIe cards in industrial computers, optimizing overall performance.

[0041] The L-shaped bracket here is integrally cast from high-strength aluminum alloy.

[0042] More specifically, it also includes a connecting plate 3, whose adjacent two side walls are fixedly connected to the base plate 1 and the reinforcing plate 2, respectively.

[0043] Connecting plates help improve the torsional and deformation resistance of the entire support structure, reduce stress concentration caused by the interaction between components, and ensure that the load is evenly distributed among the components. This effectively reduces the stress on individual components, thereby extending the service life of the overall system, reducing the risk of failure due to fatigue damage, and also effectively optimizing the internal space layout.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4, more specifically, the connecting plate 3 is a pentagonal structure, and the connecting plate 3, the base plate 1 and the reinforcing plate 2 each form a 90-degree angle, creating a mutually perpendicular spatial layout.

[0045] The perpendicular spatial layout reduces the relative movement between components, thereby effectively reducing the potential risk of failure caused by friction and wear. At the same time, compared with the traditional right-angle layout, the pentagonal connecting plate can provide stable support in a more compact space, optimize the internal layout of the entire system, and make the cooperation between various components closer.

[0046] More specifically, multiple connecting plates 3 are provided at equal intervals along the length of the base plate 1.

[0047] The use of multiple connection plates effectively disperses external forces applied to the device, thereby reducing localized stress at each connection point. This uniform load distribution significantly reduces the risk of structural failure caused by stress concentration at a single connection point, ensuring the stability of PCIe boards during long-term operation under high loads and in complex industrial environments.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3, more specifically, the reinforcing plate 2 is provided with a second through hole 5.

[0049] An interval area is formed between two adjacent connecting plates 3, and the second through hole 5 is installed in the interval area.

[0050] More specifically,

[0051] It also includes support components; the two ends of the L-shaped bracket are connected to the inner wall of the industrial computer via the support components.

[0052] The support components include mounting plate 6 and extension plate 7.

[0053] Mounting plate 6 is used to connect to the inner wall of the industrial control computer. Extension plate 7 is vertically set on the side of mounting plate 6 away from the industrial control computer and is used to connect to base plate 1.

[0054] During installation, the connection between the mounting plate and the inner wall of the industrial computer provides reliable fixed support, allowing the entire support component to be securely installed inside the industrial computer. This not only distributes the force from the extension board and the base board but also effectively improves the rigidity and stability of the overall structure. This space efficiency makes the placement of wiring and other components more flexible, helping to optimize the internal layout of the industrial computer. The extension board not only bears the load from the base board but also transmits the force to the mounting plate, forming an integrated support system. Furthermore, the modular design of the support component and the L-shaped bracket facilitates maintenance and replacement, reducing downtime during maintenance.

[0055] As shown in Figures 2 and 6, more specifically, the base plate 1 has a first through hole 4 at its end, and the extension plate 7 has a fourth through hole 9. The base plate 1 is connected to the extension plate 7 by bolts.

[0056] The bolt is installed through the first through hole 4 and the fourth through hole 9, and a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the bolt and the first through hole 4.

[0057] The presence of the first and fourth through holes provides an accurate mating position for the bolts, facilitating rapid installation. The use of vibration damping pads can significantly reduce the transmission of vibrations caused by machine vibration, impact, or thermal expansion. It effectively absorbs and attenuates external impact forces, thereby reducing damage to the connection between the base plate and extension plate. It also reduces lateral pressure from bolted connections, making the connection smoother and reducing fatigue and wear on stressed parts.

[0058] As shown in Figure 5, more specifically, the extension plate 7 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 6, and the orthographic projection outline of the extension plate 7 in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 6 completely falls within the boundary range of the mounting plate 6.

[0059] This tightly integrated design reduces the need for additional docking or connecting parts, lowering assembly complexity. This design allows the extension board to connect to the base board without taking up too much space. The small size of the extension board ensures that the overall stability of the device is maintained under strong vibration or unbalanced loads, thereby ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the PCIe board and other components.

[0060] More specifically, a third through hole 8 is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 6, and the third through hole 8 is located near the bottom of the mounting plate 6.

[0061] When the L-shaped bracket is connected to the support, the third through hole 8 and the reinforcing plate 2 are located on the same side of the extension plate 7.

[0062] By setting through holes at the bottom of the mounting plate, the third through hole is used to connect the mounting plate to the inner wall of the industrial computer by bolts. Placing the third through hole and the reinforcing plate on the same side of the extension plate ensures that the load can be more evenly distributed to the support and other connecting parts when under stress.

[0063] More specifically, the reinforcing plate 2 is trapezoidal, and the bottom of the reinforcing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1.

[0064] The trapezoidal design of the reinforcing plate ensures that the area around the third through hole is not obstructed, providing sufficient operating space and facilitating the installation of bolts in the third through hole. This also makes it easier to inspect and replace the L-shaped bracket, improving work efficiency.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
