Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer host technology, and in particular to a modular pluggable structure for the front interface of a computer host. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of computer hardware, the flexibility and maintainability of the front panel interfaces of a computer host are important factors affecting user experience. Traditional front panel interfaces of hosts mostly adopt a fixed integrated design with fixed interface types and numbers. If the interface is damaged or the function needs to be expanded, the entire computer case needs to be replaced, which is costly and complicated. In addition, fixed interfaces are difficult to disassemble for cleaning or maintenance, which affects the stability of the device.

[0003] With the diversification of peripherals, users' demand for customized host interfaces is increasing. Gamers may need more USB ports to connect devices such as gamepads and headsets, while professional designers may need Type-C or other interfaces to support high-speed data transmission. Traditional fixed structures cannot quickly adapt to the interface needs of different users, limiting the expandability of the host. Users have to expand with additional devices, which increases the complexity of wiring and space occupation.

[0004] Therefore, developing a modular front-end interface structure that combines quick plug-and-play, stable connection, and flexible expansion is key to improving the host's usability and user experience, thereby enhancing the maintainability, scalability, and customization capabilities of the host interface.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a modular pluggable structure for the front interface of a computer host, including a computer host 1 and a plug-in module 16 inside the computer host 1. A limiting connecting plate 18 is provided on one side of the plug-in module 16, and a plug-in constraint groove 19 is opened on one side of the limiting connecting plate 18. It includes a rotating connecting block 5 installed inside the computer host 1. Two guide connecting posts 14 are provided inside the rotating connecting block 5, and a rotating connecting rod 6 is provided inside the rotating connecting block 5. A pluggable fixing groove 2 is opened on one side of the computer host 1, and a rotating fixing groove 3 is opened on one side of the computer host 1. The pluggable fixing groove 2 and the rotating fixing groove 3 are connected. Two reset connecting grooves 4 are opened inside the computer host 1, and each reset connecting groove 4 is connected to the rotating fixing groove 3.

[0028] A rotating connecting block 5 is provided inside the rotating fixed groove 3. A rotating constraint groove is opened on the rotating connecting block 5. A rotating connecting rod 6 is provided inside the rotating constraint groove. A rotating torsion spring 7 is provided inside each reset connecting groove 4. One end of each rotating torsion spring 7 is connected to the rotating connecting rod 6, and the other end of each rotating torsion spring 7 is connected to the rotating connecting block 5. A telescopic movable groove 8 is opened inside the rotating connecting block 5. A telescopic connecting plate 9 is provided inside the telescopic movable groove 8. Example 2

[0029] Reference Figure 3-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that it includes a telescopic connecting plate 9 installed inside the rotating connecting block 5. A telescopic connecting plate 9 is provided with a plug-in telescopic block 10 on one side, a plug-in constraint block 12 on one side of the plug-in telescopic block 10, two guide sleeves 13 on one side of the telescopic connecting plate 9, two guide connecting posts 14 inside the telescopic movable groove 8, each guide connecting post 14 being sleeved inside the corresponding guide sleeve 13, and two return springs 15 inside the telescopic movable groove 8.

[0030] Each reset spring 15 is sleeved on the corresponding guide sleeve 13. A fixed connecting block 11 is provided on one side of the plug-in telescopic block 10. A plug-in module 16 is provided inside the plug-in fixed groove 2. A limiting constraint groove 17 is opened on one side of the plug-in module 16. One end of the plug-in telescopic block 10 is located inside the limiting constraint groove 17. A limiting connecting plate 18 is provided on one side of the plug-in module 16. A plug-in constraint groove 19 is opened on one side of the limiting connecting plate 18. One end of the plug-in constraint block 12 is plugged into the inside of the plug-in constraint groove 19. A fixed plug 20 is provided inside the plug-in fixed groove 2. One end of the fixed plug 20 is plugged into the inside of the plug-in module 16.

[0031] When it is necessary to replace or maintain the plug-in module 16, first move the fixed connecting block 11 with your finger to drive the telescopic connecting plate 9 to slide in the telescopic movable groove 8, compress the reset spring 15 and cause the guide sleeve 13 to move along the guide connecting post 14. At this time, the plug-in telescopic block 10 drives the plug-in constraint block 12 to retract inward, disengage from the plug-in constraint groove 19 of the limiting connecting plate 18, and release the limiting lock on the plug-in module 16.

[0032] After the insertion constraint block 12 is completely disengaged from the insertion constraint groove 19, the rotating torsion spring 7 drives the rotating connecting rod 6 to rotate in the rotating constraint groove, causing the rotating connecting block 5 to rotate around the axis of the rotating fixed groove 3. When the rotating connecting block 5 rotates, it drives the telescopic assembly to rotate as a whole through the guide connecting column 14, so that the insertion module 16 tilts and pops out from the insertion fixed groove 2 of the computer host 1 with the connection point between the rotating fixed groove 3 and the insertion fixed groove 2 as the fulcrum.

[0033] Manually unplug the old plug module 16 from the fixed plug 20, replace it with a new, compatible module, and insert it into the fixed plug 20. When the limiting constraint groove 17 of the plug module 16 contacts the plug telescopic block 10, it pushes the plug telescopic block 10 inward, compressing the return spring 15. When the plug module 16 is fully inserted and the plug constraint groove 19 of the limiting connecting plate 18 aligns with the plug constraint block 12, the return spring 15 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the plug telescopic block 10 outward, causing the plug constraint block 12 to engage with the plug constraint groove 19, completing the mechanical locking. At the same time, the fixed plug 20 and the internal circuit of the plug module 16 are connected, restoring the host interface function.

[0034] After replacement, the elastic force of the rotating torsion spring 7 ensures that the rotating connecting block 5 always fits against the inner wall of the plug-in fixing slot 2, preventing the plug-in module 16 from loosening. The cooperation between the guide sleeve 13 and the guide connecting post 14 restricts the movement trajectory of the telescopic connecting plate 9, ensuring that the plug-in constraint block 12 is accurately aligned with the plug-in constraint slot 19, thus improving connection stability. The entire process requires no tools and can be completed quickly by one-handed operation, significantly improving the maintainability and expandability of the host interface.

[0035] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
