[0028] This application provides a tool-free OCP network card installation structure, which solves the problem that many existing OCP network card installation structures still require the use of screwdrivers and other tools for fixing and disassembling. This increases the complexity and time cost of operation. Due to complex structure or unreasonable design, and when the installation position of the OCP network card is limited, some OCP network card installation structures may be difficult to disassemble or install during maintenance, and tools are not easy to reach inside, resulting in inconvenience in OCP network card maintenance.
[0029] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Example
[0030] This utility model discloses a tool-free OCP network card installation structure, according to the attached... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a mounting housing 1, a panel 2, a plug-in post 3, an interface support plate 4, a support platform 6, and a locking unit 8;
[0031] Mounting housing 1 is the electronic device housing, which is the main frame of the entire mounting structure, providing stable support and mounting foundation.
[0032] Panel 2 is mounted on the mounting housing 1 and provides initial fixation for the network card interface 5.
[0033] The plug-in post 3 is movably inserted into the mounting housing 1, providing guidance and support for the interface carrier plate 4.
[0034] The plug-in post 3 is fixed on the panel 2 and inserted into the corresponding hole in the mounting housing 1 to provide a reference for the installation of subsequent components.
[0035] The interface carrier plate 4 is used to carry the network card interface 5 and is sleeved on the plug post 3 through the sleeve 41, and at the same time realizes the connection with the panel 2.
[0036] The support platform 6 is set on the interface support plate 4 to provide limit and support for the network card body 7.
[0037] The locking unit 8 is disposed on the sleeve 41 and is used to lock the position of the plug post 3.
[0038] The plug post 3 has a locking hole 31, and the locking unit 8 includes:
[0039] Hollow block 81 is disposed on sleeve 41;
