Description

A computer interface protection component Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of computer technology, and specifically relates to a computer interface protection component. Background Technology

[0002] Computer cases typically have pre-installed USB ports, network ports, audio ports, and high-definition data ports. These ports are usually designed with redundancy in mind. When not in use, dust can enter the ports, damaging the circuitry and motherboard. Furthermore, common ports like USB and network ports are used to connect external devices such as mice and keyboards. If the computer case is accidentally bumped or moved after being placed in its case, the plugs at the USB and network ports may be impacted, causing physical damage to the ports and connectors, resulting in poor contact or even damage to the motherboard.

[0003] Patent document with application number "CN202223381274.9" discloses a computer interface protection mechanism, comprising: a computer body, with multiple interface bodies fitted on the front surface of the computer body; a sorting component, fixedly connected to the front surface of the computer body near the lower surface; and a protective component, including a connecting seat and a support plate. In the prior art, the protective component allows multiple protective plates to be used individually according to the usage of the interface bodies. When an unused interface body is covered with a protective plate, a rubber gasket adheres to the outer wall of the computer body, filling the gap between the protective plate and the computer body. This provides good protection for the interface bodies, but it fails to effectively protect the connectors already connected to the interfaces from impact, thus not solving the aforementioned technical problem.

[0004] The above background information is provided only to assist in understanding the utility model concept and technical solution of this utility model, and it does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this patent application. In the absence of clear evidence that the above information was disclosed on the filing date of this patent application, the above background information should not be used to evaluate the novelty and inventiveness of this application.

The first opening corresponds to the position of the wire passage groove, and one end of the first opening extends outward from the edge of the baffle.

[0008] Preferably, in the above technical solution, slots are provided at the top and bottom of the partition, and a locking block matching the slot is provided on the inner side of the cover. When the end face of one end of the cover abuts against the fixing plate, the locking block can be locked in the slot.

[0009] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the cross-section of the card slot and the card block is a semi-circular structure.

[0010] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the cover body has outwardly protruding side strips on both sides.

[0011] Preferably, in the above technical solution, a second opening is provided on both sides of the cover, and one end of the second opening extends outward from the cover opening.

[0012] Preferably, in the above technical solution, double-sided adhesive tape is provided on the side of the fixing plate opposite to the partition plate.

[0013] Preferably, in the above technical solution, an inwardly recessed adhesive groove is provided on the opposite side of the fixing plate and the partition plate, and the double-sided adhesive is applied in the adhesive groove.

[0014] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the socket includes a first socket and a second socket. The first socket corresponds to the USB interface, and the second socket corresponds to the network interface. A clearance opening is provided on the side of the second socket away from the first socket, and the clearance opening passes through the partition.

[0015] Preferably, in the above technical solution, clips are provided on both sides of the first insertion hole, one end of the clip is fixedly connected to the partition, the other end of the clip freely abuts against the side of the partition, and the middle part of the clip is bent into an arc towards the middle of the first insertion hole.
