Furthermore, based on the disclosure, claims, and drawings in this specification, anyone skilled in the art can easily understand the related objectives and advantages of this utility model. The following embodiments further illustrate the viewpoints of this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model in any way.

[0072] Please see Figures 1 to 5 . Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the side view of the electronic device in the image. Figure 3 for Figure 1 An exploded 3D view of the electronic device.

Figure 5 for Figure 4 An exploded three-dimensional view of the electronic device from another perspective.

[0073] In this embodiment, the electronic device 10 is, for example, a computer host and includes a casing 100, a motherboard 200, a movable display adapter bracket 300, an adapter card 400, a display adapter 500, and a support frame 600.

[0074] The housing 100 has a board 110. The motherboard 200 is disposed in the housing 100. The board 110 may have, for example, a cutout structure for setting up I / O ports or a cutout structure for setting up a display adapter 500. The board 110 is located, for example, on one side of the motherboard 200, such as on the front side of the motherboard 200.

[0075] In this embodiment, the movable display adapter bracket 300 includes, for example, a fixed bracket 310, a first movable bracket 320 and a second movable bracket 330.

[0076] The mounting bracket 310 is fixed to the plate 110 of the housing 100. For example, the mounting bracket 310 is fixed to multiple mounting holes 111 on the plate 110. The position of the mounting bracket 310 in the vertical direction D (parallel to the Z-axis direction) can be adjusted by fixing the mounting bracket 310 to different mounting holes 111. The mounting bracket 310 has two first guide structures 311 and 312 and a stop surface 313. The stop surface 313 faces away from the two first guide structures 311 and 312.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first movable frame 320 includes, for example, a first frame 321, a first base plate 322, a top plate 323, and a first side plate 324, and has, for example, two second guide structures 325 and 326 and two third guide structures 327 and 328. The first base plate 322 and the top plate 323 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first frame 321. The opposite sides of the first side plate 324 are respectively connected to the first frame 321, the first base plate 322, and the top plate 323. The two second guide structures 325 and 326 are respectively located on the first base plate 322 and the top plate 323. The two third guide structures 327 and 328 are respectively located on the first base plate 322 and the first side plate 324.

[0078] The two first guide structures 311 and 312 and the two second guide structures 325 and 326 are mutually matching slide grooves and sliders. The two second guide structures 325 and 326 are slidably disposed on the two first guide structures 311 and 312, while the first movable frame 320 is slidably disposed on the fixed frame 310 along a front-back direction F (parallel to the X-axis direction). Furthermore, as... Figure 2 As shown, the two first guide structures 311 and 312 are separated from the stop surface 313 by the same distance S, so that the first movable frame 320 can be selectively mounted upright or reversed on the fixed frame 310. Figure 1The first movable frame 320 is mounted upright on the fixed frame 310 (i.e., the second guide structure 325 is slidably disposed on the first guide structure 311, and the second guide structure 326 is slidably disposed on the first guide structure 312). The case where the first movable frame 320 is mounted backward on the fixed frame 310 will be described later.

[0079] In this embodiment, the two first guide structures 311 and 312 are, for example, grooves, and the two second guide structures 325 and 326 are, for example, sliders. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the forms of the first guide structures and the second guide structures can be interchanged, that is, the first guide structure can also be a slider and the second guide structure can also be a groove.

[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first side plate 324, for example, has a first ventilation groove 3240. The first ventilation groove 3240 has a first groove bottom surface 3241 and a first groove side surface 3242 that are adjacent to each other. The first groove bottom surface 3241 faces away from the first bottom plate 322. The first groove side surface 3242 faces away from the first frame 321.

[0081] In this embodiment, the second movable frame 330 includes, for example, a second frame 331, a second base plate 332, and a second side plate 333, and has, for example, two fourth guide structures 334 and 335. The second base plate 332 and the second side plate 333 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the second frame 331. The two fourth guide structures 334 and 335 are respectively located on the second side plate 333 and the second base plate 332.

[0082] The second and third guide structures 327 and 328, and the second and fourth guide structures 334 and 335 are mutually matching grooves and sliders. The second and fourth guide structures 334 and 335 are slidably disposed on the second and third guide structures 327 and 328, so that the second movable frame 330 is slidably disposed on the first movable frame 320 along a left-right direction L (parallel to the Y-axis direction). The left-right direction L is perpendicular to the front-back direction F and the vertical direction D.

[0083] In this embodiment, for example, one of the third guide structures 327 is a groove, another third guide structure 328 is a slider, one of the fourth guide structures 334 is, for example, a slider, and another fourth guide structure 335 is, for example, a groove. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the forms of the third guide structures and the fourth guide structures can be interchanged; that is, the third guide structure 327 can also be a slider, the third guide structure 328 can also be a groove, the fourth guide structure 334 can also be a groove, and the fourth guide structure 335 can also be a slider.

[0084] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second side plate 333, for example, has a second ventilation groove 3330. The second ventilation groove 3330 has a second groove bottom surface 3331 and a second groove side surface 3332 that are adjacent to each other. The second groove bottom surface 3331 faces away from the second bottom plate 332. The second groove side surface 3332 faces away from the second frame 331.

[0085] The adapter card 400 is disposed on the second base plate 332. A fixing piece 510 of the display adapter 500 is mounted, for example, on the second frame 331 of the second movable bracket 330. That is, the display adapter 500 is mounted on the first movable bracket 320 via the second movable bracket 330. In addition, the display adapter 500 is plugged into a connector 410 of the adapter card 400, and is electrically connected to a connector 210 of the motherboard 200 via the adapter card 400 and a flat cable 550. Furthermore, a power connector 530 of the display adapter 500 can be electrically connected to a power supply 700 of the electronic device 10.

[0086] By designing at least one of the first ventilation groove 3240 of the first side plate 324 and the second ventilation groove 3330 of the second side plate 333, the movable display adapter bracket 300 can be prevented from blocking the cold air guided by one or more fans 520 of the display adapter 500, so as to avoid the fans 520 being unable to effectively exhaust heat to the outside of the housing 100.

[0087] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 1 A perspective view of the support frame for the electronic device. The support frame 600 is disposed on the housing 100 and supports the display adapter 500 on the side away from the fixing frame 310. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame 600 includes, for example, a fixing plate 610, a first slide rail 620, a first slider 630, a second slide rail 640, a second slider 650, and a support plate 660. The fixing plate 610 is fixed to the housing 100. The first slide rail 620 is disposed on the fixing plate 610. The first slider 630 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 620 in the front-rear direction F. The second slide rail 640 is rotatably disposed on the first slider 630 in the vertical direction D. The second slider 650 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 640 in the vertical direction D. The support plate 660 protrudes from the side of the second slider 650 away from the fixing plate 610 and supports the side of the display adapter 500 away from the fixing frame 310.

[0088] With the assistance of the support bracket 600, the display adapter 500 is prevented from drooping on the side away from the mounting bracket 310 (e.g., along the negative Z-axis), thereby ensuring that the display adapter 500 is reliably mounted on the housing 100. In particular, the support bracket 600 is especially suitable for embodiments where the first side plate 324 has a first ventilation groove 3240 or the second side plate 333 has a second ventilation groove 3330. Specifically, in order to provide the first ventilation groove 3240 and the second ventilation groove 3330, the first side plate 324 and the second side plate 333 may not be able to provide sufficient support for the side of the display adapter 500 away from the mounting bracket 310, while the support bracket 600 can correspondingly supplement the support for the side of the display adapter 500 away from the mounting bracket 310.

[0089] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 for Figure 1 A perspective view of the first movable plate of the electronic device being mounted upside down on the fixed frame. Figure 8 for Figure 7 An exploded 3D view of the electronic device. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first movable frame 320 is mounted upside down on the fixed frame 310 (i.e., the second guide structure 325 is slidably disposed on the first guide structure 312, and the second guide structure 326 is slidably disposed on the first guide structure 311). For example... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first movable bracket 320 is adjusted from being mounted upright on the fixed bracket 310 to being mounted upside down on the fixed bracket 310, the mounting direction of the first movable bracket 320 changes, thereby changing the airflow direction of the display adapter 500. Consequently, the exhaust direction of the display adapter 500's fan 520 also changes. Through this mechanism, the user can choose to mount the first movable bracket 320 upright or upside down on the fixed bracket 310 according to the exhaust direction of the fan 520 on the display adapter 500, thus allowing the fan 520 to effectively dissipate waste heat from the housing 100.

[0090] In addition, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, by adjusting the first slide rail 620, the first slider 630, the second slide rail 640 and the second slider 650, the support plate 660 of the support frame 600 can support the display adapter 500 on the side away from the fixed frame 310 in a suitable position.

[0091] According to the electronic device and movable display adapter bracket disclosed in the above embodiments, since the two first guide structures are spaced from the stop surface at the same distance, the first movable bracket can be selectively mounted upright or inverted on the fixed bracket. In this way, the user can select whether to mount the first movable plate upright or inverted on the fixed bracket according to the airflow direction of the fan on the display adapter, thereby allowing the fan to effectively dissipate waste heat from the casing.
