Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of computer hardware and peripheral structure design, and in particular to a portable open chassis for mounting water-cooling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As computer hardware performance continues to improve, the heat generated by core components under high load increases significantly. Water cooling equipment has become the mainstream configuration for high-performance hosts due to its advantages of high heat dissipation efficiency and quiet operation.

[0003] While traditional closed chassis can accommodate water-cooling equipment, their weight and size make them unsuitable for mobile applications. Open chassis, while offering improved portability, lack a stable mounting structure for water-cooling devices. Therefore, open chassis that combine water-cooling installation capability with portability have become a market focus. Existing portable open chassis for water-cooling installations are mostly simple frame structures, typically with pre-installed mounting positions for water-cooling radiators on the top or side. Some products include basic carrying handles for portability. However, these products have significant shortcomings. For example, water-cooling mounting brackets are often fixed structures, unable to be flexibly adjusted to the size of the water-cooling equipment. Furthermore, the carrying handles and mounting brackets often overlap, making it difficult to balance stable installation with convenient portability.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that they suffer from poor compatibility with water-cooled installations and low space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a portable open chassis for installing water-cooling equipment.

[0006] This application provides a portable open chassis for installing water-cooling equipment, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A portable open chassis for mounting water-cooling equipment includes a base plate with a vertical plate mounted on the base plate. The vertical plate is installed in the middle of the base plate and is detachably connected to the base plate. The front of the vertical plate is divided into a motherboard mounting area and a power supply mounting area on both sides. The motherboard mounting area has multiple sets of motherboard mounting holes, and a graphics card connector is located at the bottom of the motherboard mounting area. A power supply connector is located below the power supply mounting area. The back of the vertical plate is a graphics card mounting area with multiple sets of graphics card mounting holes. Water-cooling mounting brackets are located at both ends of the top.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the open-style chassis provides more ample airflow space, reducing heat accumulation. Combined with the water-cooling mounting bracket on the top of the stand, large water-cooling radiators can be installed, effectively reducing the temperature of hardware such as the CPU and ensuring system stability under high load. The stand and base are detachably connected, and the clear division of the motherboard, power supply, and graphics card mounting areas, along with the corresponding mounting holes and connectors, makes hardware installation more organized, achieving efficient space utilization, avoiding mutual interference between hardware components, and reducing errors and inconveniences during installation. Power connectors are located below the power supply mounting area, and graphics card connectors are located at the bottom of the motherboard mounting area, facilitating cable management and making the internal cables neater, improving airflow efficiency, and further enhancing heat dissipation.

[0009] Preferably, a switch baffle is provided on one side of the base plate. The switch baffle is installed on one side of the base plate and is detachably connected to the base plate. A switch button is provided on one end of the switch baffle. A reset button is provided on one side of the switch button, and an input interface is provided on the other side of the switch button.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the switch baffle integrates the switch button, restart button, and input interface into the same module, making the power-on and restart operations more direct and the input interface easier to plug and unplug when connecting external devices. It is especially suitable for scenarios that frequently require temporary connection of peripherals. The centralized layout of functional components avoids the problem of messy exposed switch wires and interface wires in traditional open chassis, indirectly reducing the risk of accidental contact and damage to cables.

[0011] Preferably, an interface baffle is provided on one end of the upright plate, and the two sides of the interface baffle are divided into a motherboard interface area and a graphics card interface area, and an external power interface is provided below the graphics card interface area.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the interface bracket clearly partitions the motherboard interface, graphics card interface, and power supply interface, solving the common problem of messy and scattered interfaces in open chassis. When users connect external devices, they can quickly correspond to the target interface area, which is suitable for scenarios where multiple devices are connected at the same time, greatly reducing operation time. The classified layout avoids cross-interference between different types of interfaces, prevents external cables from getting tangled and squeezed due to being too close, affecting the smoothness of plugging and unplugging, and also reduces the risk of cable bending and damage.

[0013] Preferably, the motherboard mounting area has multiple sets of motherboard connecting posts on the multiple sets of motherboard mounting holes, and the motherboard connecting posts are detachably connected to the motherboard mounting holes.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, users can flexibly choose to install the connecting posts on the corresponding motherboard mounting holes according to the actual mounting hole layout of the target motherboard. This allows for compatibility with various mainstream motherboards without replacing the entire motherboard or chassis, significantly reducing chassis adaptation costs during hardware upgrades or replacements. The detachable design of the connecting posts and mounting holes also allows users to adjust the motherboard installation height according to their needs. If accessories such as cooling fans or hard drive brackets need to be installed under the motherboard, sufficient space can be reserved by raising the connecting posts to avoid hardware installation conflicts.

[0015] Preferably, the graphics card mounting area has multiple sets of extension cable connecting posts on the multiple sets of graphics card mounting holes, and the extension cable connecting posts are detachably connected to the graphics card mounting holes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a detachable extension cable connector is set in the graphics card installation area to fix the graphics card PCIe extension cable, so that the graphics card is installed on the back of the stand. This changes the way the graphics card is installed, makes full use of the case space, avoids the graphics card occupying a lot of space on the front of the case, makes the case layout more compact, accommodates more hardware components in a limited space, improves space utilization, and makes the case more neat and orderly, making it convenient for users to install, debug and maintain hardware.

[0017] Preferably, a power support is provided between the power installation area and the power connection port. One end of the power support is detachably connected to the upright plate, and the other end of the power support is detachably connected to the other end of the switch baffle.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the power supply bracket connects the upright plate and the switch baffle, forming a stable triangular support structure. This structure can effectively distribute the weight of the power supply and the vibration generated during use, preventing the upright plate or switch baffle from deforming or being damaged due to the weight or vibration of the power supply. This improves the stability and durability of the entire chassis structure and protects other hardware components inside the chassis.

[0019] Preferably, the bottom of the water-cooled mounting bracket is provided with a support frame, the top of the support frame is detachably connected to the water-cooled mounting bracket, and the side of the support frame is detachably connected to the upright plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the support frame can provide additional support for the water-cooled mounting bracket, distribute the weight of the water-cooling system, and prevent the water-cooled mounting bracket from deforming or being damaged due to excessive water-cooling components. For some large and heavy water-cooling equipment, the support frame can effectively enhance the stability of the entire system and prevent it from shaking or shifting during operation, thereby protecting the safety of the water-cooling equipment and other hardware components.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a portable handle, which is mounted on the top of the upright plate and its two ends are detachably connected to the upright plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of a portable handle makes the chassis easy to carry. Whether it is necessary to take the computer host to different rooms for use, or to participate in e-sports competitions, mobile office, or other scenarios, users can easily move the chassis by carrying it, reducing the difficulty and inconvenience in the transportation process and improving the portability of the equipment. When users need to use a water cooling system, a water cooling mounting bracket can be installed to support the installation and operation of the water cooling equipment. When the water cooling system is not needed, the water cooling mounting bracket can be removed and a portable handle can be installed to meet the needs of different users in different usage scenarios, increasing the flexibility and scalability of the chassis structure.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] The open-style chassis provides ample airflow, reducing heat buildup. Combined with the top-mounted water-cooling bracket, it allows for the installation of large water-cooling radiators, effectively lowering the temperature of CPUs and other hardware, ensuring system stability under high loads. The detachable connection between the top and bottom plates, along with the clear division of motherboard, power supply, and graphics card mounting areas, and the corresponding mounting holes and connectors, makes hardware installation more organized, achieving efficient space utilization, avoiding interference between hardware components, and reducing errors and inconvenience during installation. Power connectors are located below the power supply mounting area, and graphics card connectors are located at the bottom of the motherboard mounting area, facilitating cable management and keeping the internal cables neat. This improves airflow efficiency and further enhances cooling performance.

[0025] The graphics card installation area features detachable extension cable connectors to secure the graphics card PCIe extension cable, allowing the graphics card to be mounted on the back of the stand. This change in graphics card installation method makes full use of the chassis space, preventing the graphics card from occupying a large amount of space on the front of the chassis. This results in a more compact chassis layout, accommodating more hardware components within a limited space and improving space utilization. At the same time, it makes the chassis neater and more organized, facilitating hardware installation, debugging, and maintenance for users. Attached Figure Description
