Description

Technical Field

[0002] A PCIe module is an expansion card or module based on the PCI Express (PCIe) standard, used to enhance the functionality of a computer or server.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220399935U discloses a structure for quick assembly and disassembly of a side-mounted PCIe adapter board, including a module housing, a PCIe board installed inside the module housing, and a mounting plate detachably connected inside the module housing. The PCIe board is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and a connector plate is fixedly connected to the module housing. The mounting plate has a connector slot corresponding to the connector plate, and a knurled stud is rotatably connected to the mounting plate. The end of the knurled stud away from the mounting plate is threadedly connected to the module housing. However, this device still has the following problems during use:

[0004] The device uses knurled studs to achieve a locking and fixing effect, which means that PCIe boards and plug-in boards need to be aligned with the threaded holes for connection, making installation inconvenient. Furthermore, when multiple PCIe boards need to be installed on one mounting plate, the previously installed PCIe boards can easily obstruct the operator's view of the subsequent PCIe board installation, causing misalignment during installation and potentially resulting in skewed pins on the PCIe boards.

[0005] Based on this, this utility model designs a PCIE module disassembly and assembly auxiliary device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 A PCIE module disassembly and assembly auxiliary device includes a mounting base plate 1, a one-way pull mechanism 2, a PCIE slot plate 3, a PCIE mounting bracket 4, a PCIE card 5, and a pressing and locking mechanism 6; the upper end of the mounting base plate 1 is equipped with a one-way pull mechanism 2 to facilitate the horizontal movement of the PCIE slot plate 3 and facilitate the installation of the PCIE card 5.

[0037] The unidirectional pull-out mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 23, a sliding assembly for driving the mounting plate 23 to move horizontally, a limiting assembly for controlling the unidirectional movement of the mounting plate 23, and a locking assembly for restricting the movement of the mounting plate 23; multiple sets of sliding assemblies are installed on the upper end of the mounting base plate 1; and the sliding assemblies are linearly and evenly distributed at equal intervals on the upper end of the mounting base plate 1; the mounting plate 23 is mounted on the sliding assembly; the limiting assembly is mounted on the mounting plate 23 and the mounting base plate 1; and the locking assembly is mounted on the mounting plate 23.

[0038] The upper end of the mounting plate 23 is fixedly mounted with a PCIe slot plate 3 and a PCIe mounting bracket 4;

[0039] The PCIe mounting bracket 4 is equipped with a pressing and locking mechanism 6 for quickly fixing and removing the PCIe mounting bracket 4 and the PCIe card 5.

[0040] Furthermore, PCIe card 5 is inserted into PCIe slot 3;

[0041] Both the PCIe mounting bracket 4 and the PCIe card 5 have circular mounting slots on their upper front sides.

[0042] In this invention, when a PCIe card 5 needs to be installed, the locking assembly unlocks the horizontal movement limit of the mounting plate 23 connected to the corresponding PCIe slot 3 and PCIe mounting bracket 4. Then, the mounting plate 23 is pulled outwards, causing it to move forward horizontally along with the sliding assembly until the rear end of the corresponding mounting plate 23 moves in front of the front end of the adjacent mounting plate 23. At this point, the operator can insert the PCIe card 5 into the PCIe slot 3, and the circular mounting slots of the PCIe mounting bracket 4 and PCIe card 5 are aligned. Then, the downward locking mechanism 6 secures the PCIe card 5. The IE card 5 is quickly fixed to the PCIE mounting bracket 4; after installation, push the mounting plate 23 backward, and the mounting plate 23 will follow the sliding component to reset backward, and the limiting component will prevent the mounting plate 23 from moving forward; similarly, when it is necessary to remove the PCIE card 5, unlock the horizontal movement limit of the mounting plate 23 connected to the corresponding PCIE slot plate 3 and PCIE mounting bracket 4 by locking component, pull the corresponding mounting plate 23 forward, and then release the lock of PCIE mounting bracket 4 and PCIE card 5 by pressing down locking mechanism 6, so that the corresponding PCIE card 5 can be removed;

[0043] The sliding component, limiting component, and locking component work together to facilitate the operator in pulling forward the PCIe slot 3 and PCIe mounting bracket 4 to be installed. This prevents previously installed PCIe cards 5 from obstructing the operator's view of subsequent PCIe cards 5 installations, thus avoiding misalignment during installation and improving the efficiency of PCIe card installation and removal. The downward locking mechanism 6 ensures a secure connection while improving the operator's efficiency in inspecting or replacing PCIe cards 5.

[0044] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the sliding assembly includes a guide rail 21 and a sliding block 22; the guide rail 21 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting base plate 1; the sliding block 22 is slidably connected to the guide rail 21; the upper end of the sliding block 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 23.

[0045] like Figures 1-7As shown, the limiting component includes ratchet 24 and locking block 25; two ratchet 24 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the mounting base plate 1; locking block 25 is symmetrically limited and slidably installed on the front and rear sides of the upper left side of the mounting plate 23; the lower end of the locking block 25 is provided with a stop inclined surface 29 that engages with the ratchet 24.

[0046] The ramp of ratchet 24 faces forward; the ramp of stop 29 faces backward.

[0047] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the locking assembly includes a first compression spring 26, a guide pin 27, and a vertical plate 28; the vertical plate 28 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper left side of the mounting plate 23; the guide pin 27 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the locking block 25; the guide pin 27 is slidably connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 28; one end of the first compression spring 26 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking block 25; the other end of the first compression spring 26 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the vertical plate 28.

[0048] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the downward locking mechanism 6 includes a fixed L-shaped plate 61, a second compression spring 62, a pull cylinder 63, a pull rod 64, a fixed plate 65, a clamping block 66, and a sliding rod 68; the fixed L-shaped plate 61 is fixedly installed on the lower front end of the PCIE mounting bracket 4; the pull rod 64 is slidably connected to the lower end of the fixed L-shaped plate 61; the pull cylinder 63 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the pull rod 64; one end of the second compression spring 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed L-shaped plate 61; the other end of the second compression spring 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pull cylinder 63.

[0049] Multiple mounting plates 65 are also fixedly installed on the lower front side of the PCIe mounting bracket 4; and the mounting plates 65 are evenly distributed in a circular array at equal intervals on the lower front side of the PCIe mounting bracket 4.

[0050] The inside of the pull tube 63 is provided with multiple clearance grooves 67; and the clearance grooves 67 are evenly distributed in a circular array with equal spacing inside the pull tube 63.

[0051] A sliding rod 68 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower end of multiple clamping blocks 66; the sliding rod 68 is slidably connected to the relief groove 67; the outer side of the lower end of the clamping block 66 is hinged to the fixing plate 65.

[0052] In this invention, when a PCIe card 5 needs to be installed, the guide pin 27 is pulled upwards. The guide pin 27 drives the locking block 25 to move upwards together. During the movement, the guide pin 27 compresses the first compression spring 26 upwards. At this time, the lower end of the locking block 25 separates from the ratchet 24. Then, the mounting plate 23 can be pulled forward along the guide rail 21 by the guide pin 27, following the sliding block 22. This continues until the rear end of the corresponding mounting plate 23 moves to the front of the front end of the adjacent mounting plate 23.

[0053] Then, pull rod 64 is pulled down, and pull rod 64 drives pull cylinder 63 to move down together. During the movement, pull cylinder 63 will compress the second compression spring 62 downward. The downward movement of pull cylinder 63 will also pull multiple sliding rods 68 to move outward along the relief groove 67. Since the lower outer side of the clamping block 66 is hinged to the fixing plate 65, as pull cylinder 63 continues to move down, it will drive multiple clamping blocks 66 to rotate upward at the same time. The outermost position of the upper end of the clamping block 66 is located inside the circular mounting groove of PCIE mounting bracket 4.

[0054] At this point, the operator can insert the PCIe card 5 into the PCIe slot 3, and align the PCIe mounting bracket 4 with the circular mounting slot of the PCIe card 5. Then, release the pull rod 64, and the second compression spring 62 resets, causing the pull cylinder 63 and the clamping block 66 to reset. At this time, the upper and lower sides of the multiple clamping blocks 66 will abut against the upper end of the PCIe mounting bracket 4, thus completing the fixing of the PCIe mounting bracket 4 and the PCIe card 5. Then, push the mounting plate 23 backward, and the mounting plate 23 moves backward along the guide rail 21 with the sliding block 22. During the movement, when the stop slope 29 set at the lower end of the locking block 25 touches the ratchet 24, it will move upward along the slope on the front side of the ratchet 24. At this time, the locking block 25 will compress the first compression spring 26 upward. Until the mounting plate 23 resets and stops moving, the first compression spring 26 returns to its original position, causing the locking block 25 to reset downward. At this time, the rear locking block 25 is located between the two rear ratchet 24, and the front locking block 25 is located between the two front ratchet 24.

[0055] Furthermore, the front end of the locking block 25 abuts against the rear end of the front ratchet 24; the stop slope 29 provided at the rear end of the locking block 25 abuts against the slope on the front side of the rear ratchet 24; thus, the locking of the mounting plate 23 is completed.

[0056] Similarly, when it is necessary to remove PCIe card 5, first pull the mounting plate 23 forward, then pull the lever 64 downward, so that multiple clamping blocks 66 rotate upward, the clamping blocks 66 separate from the upper end of PCIe card 5, and the outer side of the clamping blocks 66 is located inside the circular mounting hole of PCIe card 5. Then, PCIe card 5 can be pulled out of PCIe slot plate 3 to complete the removal.

[0057] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this 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 of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
