Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering, and in particular to a quick-release locking device for the side cover of a computer host chassis. Background Technology

[0002] The side panel of a computer case, by sealing the enclosure, prevents dust and liquid from entering, reducing the risk of short circuits or wear and tear on hardware caused by external objects, making it especially suitable for dusty environments. The side panel usually has pre-drilled ventilation holes, which, together with the internal airflow design of the case, guide airflow to help dissipate heat from components such as the CPU and graphics card quickly, preventing performance degradation or hardware damage due to overheating. Furthermore, the opening and closing design of the side panel facilitates users' routine hardware upgrades or maintenance of internal components, achieving a balance between protection and ease of use.

[0003] The side panel physically seals off the side of the chassis, creating a complete dustproof space. Pre-drilled ventilation holes or fan mounts work in conjunction with the internal airflow design to aid in hardware cooling through air convection. Some side panels are made of transparent material, allowing you to showcase the internal hardware lighting effects. The chassis side panels are typically secured with screws. Pre-drilled holes along the edge of the side panel align with the screw positions on the chassis side panel, ensuring a secure fit suitable for long-term dust protection.

[0004] In existing technologies, the side cover of some computer cases is usually fixed to the side wall of the main case with screws. This makes it difficult to quickly repair the main case when it is damaged, resulting in delays in troubleshooting, increased maintenance costs, and difficulty in quickly putting the main case back into use after damage, causing inconvenience to users. Therefore, a quick-release locking device for the side cover of the computer case is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a quick-release locking device for the side cover of a computer host chassis. It aims to improve the problem that in the prior art, the side cover of some computer host chassis is generally fixed to the side wall of the host chassis with screws. This makes it inconvenient to quickly repair the host when it is damaged, resulting in delayed troubleshooting and increased maintenance costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A quick-release locking device for the side cover of a computer chassis includes a chassis. A side cover is detachably connected to one side of the chassis. A connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the side cover. A control plate is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the other end of the control plate. A return spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side cover, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the return spring. A limit post is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis, and a positioning component is installed on the inner wall of the chassis.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The positioning component includes a fixing plate, and multiple fixing plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis. A positioning plate is rotatably connected to the adjacent side of two fixing plates, and torsion springs are provided on both sides of the positioning plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The inner wall of the chassis is provided with multiple placement slots, and the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement slots;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The outer wall of the side cover is provided with multiple sliding grooves, and the outer wall of the connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves;

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The outer wall of the card block is in contact with the limiting post, and the inner wall of the chassis is fixedly connected with a card plate.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The outer wall of the limiting post is slidably connected to the rear side of the card plate, and the inner wall of the chassis is fixedly connected to a glass window;

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The inner wall of the chassis is equipped with a power button, the inner wall of the chassis is equipped with a host, and the outer wall of the positioning plate is detachably connected to the outer wall of the host.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] A connector is provided on the rear side of the host, a cooling fan is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis, and ventilation holes are provided on the rear side of the chassis.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, when it is necessary to quickly disassemble the side cover, the control board is moved. The movement of the control board causes the connecting plate to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove. The sliding of the connecting plate causes the limiting post to slide out of the inner wall of the clamping plate. At this time, the clamping plate no longer holds the clamping block, and the clamping block releases the limiting post. At this time, there is nothing to fix the side cover to the chassis, so the side cover can be quickly disassembled from the chassis, which facilitates quick maintenance of the host inside the chassis.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the positioning plate is lifted from the inner wall of the placement slot, and then the positioning plate is released. Under the control of the torsion spring, the positioning plate is locked inside the host, so as to position the host on the inner wall of the chassis. This makes it easier to securely position the host on the inner wall of the chassis and prevent shaking caused by the host not being securely fixed inside the chassis, which would affect the operation of the host.

[0037] A locking block 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the return spring 6. The locking block 7 achieves elastic extension and contraction through the return spring 6 to cooperate with the locking plate 19 to complete the locking. A limiting post 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis 1. The limiting post 8 is used to cooperate with the locking block 7 to fix the side cover 2. A positioning component is installed on the inner wall of the chassis 1. The positioning component is used to position and fix the host 15. Multiple sliding grooves 4 are opened on the outer wall of the side cover 2. The sliding grooves 4 provide a guide path for the sliding of the connecting plate 5. The outer wall of the connecting plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 4. The connecting plate 5 slides along the inner wall of the sliding groove 4 to ensure the stability of the movement trajectory. The outer wall of the locking block 7 is in contact with the limiting post 8. When the locking block 7 is in contact with the limiting post 8, the side cover 2 can be locked by locking.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A card plate 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis 1. The card plate 19 is used to cooperate with the card block 7 to form a locking structure. The outer wall of the limiting post 8 is slidably connected to the rear side of the card plate 19. The limiting post 8 can slide along the rear side of the card plate 19 to disengage from the card plate 19 during disassembly. A glass window 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis 1. The glass window 13 is used to observe the internal situation of the chassis 1 without affecting heat dissipation.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The positioning assembly includes a fixing plate 12, which supports and mounts a positioning plate 11. Multiple fixing plates 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis 1. The multiple fixing plates 12 are evenly distributed to ensure positioning stability. The positioning plate 11 is rotatably connected to the adjacent side of two fixing plates 12. The positioning plate 11 can rotate around the fixing plate 12 to unfold or retract. Torsion springs 10 are provided on both sides of the positioning plate 11. The torsion springs 10 are used to provide rotational reset force for the positioning plate 11 to achieve automatic locking.

[0041] Working principle: When the side cover 2 needs to be quickly removed, the control plate 3 is moved. The movement of the control plate 3 causes the connecting plate 5 to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 4. The sliding of the connecting plate 5 causes the limiting post 8 to slide out of the inner wall of the clamping plate 19. At this time, the clamping plate 19 no longer holds the clamping block 7, and the clamping block 7 releases the limiting post 8. At this time, there is nothing to fix the side cover 2 to the chassis 1, and the side cover 2 can be removed from the chassis 1. When the side cover 2 needs to be installed, the connecting plate 5 is slid. The sliding of the connecting plate 5 causes the clamping block 7 to retract into the inner wall of the side cover 2. The side cover 2 is then inserted into the installation position of the chassis 1. Then the control plate 3 is released to release the connecting plate 5. The return spring 6 releases its elastic potential energy to push the clamping block 7 into the inner wall of the clamping plate 19 and hold the limiting post 8, thereby fixing the side cover 2 to the side wall of the chassis 1 to complete the installation.

[0042] When it is necessary to position the host 15 inside the chassis 1, the positioning plate 11 is placed inside the slot of the placement groove 9 under the control of the torsion spring 10. When the host 15 is in place inside the chassis 1, the positioning plate 11 is lifted from the inner wall of the placement groove 9 and then released. The positioning plate 11 is then locked inside the host 15 under the control of the torsion spring 10, so as to position the host 15 on the inner wall of the chassis 1. When it is necessary to dissipate heat inside the chassis 1, the cooling fan 16 is started and works with the heat dissipation holes 17 to dissipate heat. When it is necessary to connect wires, the wires can be connected to the host 15 through the connector 18. The power button 14 is used to turn on the host 15.
