[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer chassis technology, specifically to a tool-free hinged computer chassis door. Background Technology
[0002] A computer is generally composed of a hardware system and a software system. Most of the hardware system is installed inside the computer case. As part of the computer components, the main function of the computer case is to house and fix the various computer components, providing support and protection. The computer case is generally composed of a cabinet and a door.
[0003] Since office workers often place their computer cases on the ground, their legs frequently bump into the cases. This can cause minor issues like loosening cables or the case colliding with walls, or even knocking the case over and damaging internal electronic components. To overcome these shortcomings, existing technology (Chinese patent application number 202322468879.X, application date 2023-09-12) provides a computer case with a protective structure. This structure uses mounting components for quick disassembly and installation, facilitating internal maintenance. Shock-absorbing and buffering components provide cushioning and shock absorption. A movable component allows for easy movement, and an electric push rod combined with a sliding rod allows the wheels to retract and extend. However, the case door is secured by bolts at the four corners. Opening the door requires tools to remove these bolts one by one, which is cumbersome and prone to falling off and being lost, making it inconvenient to use.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on existing equipment. Therefore, we have proposed a tool-free, hinged computer case door that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool-free hinged computer case door to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where the case door is installed on the case by bolts at the four corners. When the case door needs to be opened, tools are needed to remove these bolts one by one, which is not only cumbersome, but also makes these bolts easy to fall off and lose after removal, which is inconvenient to use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tool-free, hinged computer case door, comprising a case body and a rotating case door; mounting brackets are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the case body, and one side of the rotating case door is rotatably connected to the mounting brackets via two hinges, while the other side is rotatably connected to a linkage bracket via one hinge. A snap-fit buckle is rotatably connected to one side of the linkage bracket, and a snap-fit plate is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket on this side, with the snap-fit buckle and snap-fit plate locked together. An unlocking block is fixedly connected to the end of the linkage bracket; a closing block for assisting in keeping the rotating case door closed is snapped onto the top of the case body.
[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the linkage frame are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft hinge and the snap fastener respectively by rotating pins to achieve the effect of linkage opening and closing of the door.
[0008] Preferably, the closing block has an n-shaped structure, and its two bottom plates are respectively snapped into the top interior of the box and the outside of one end of the rotating box door. The bottom end of the bottom plate of the closing block located inside the box has a protruding plate, and the protruding plate fits against the inner wall of the rotating box door.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the top of the box body, and the top of the fixing rod extends through to the top of the closing block and is fixedly connected to a spring. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring, and the pressure plate slides on the outside of the fixing rod and presses against the top of the closing block.
[0010] Preferably, a sliding groove is provided on the top of the box near the box body and the rotating connection of the rotating box door, and a closing block is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove. A through groove is provided on one side of the closing block for the fixed rod to slide through.
[0011] Preferably, the interior of the slide is provided with a dustproof component, which includes a dustproof cloth fixedly connected to the side wall of the closing block and two limiting elastic strips. The dustproof cloth is connected between the two limiting elastic strips and covers the slide. The two limiting elastic strips limit the sliding within both ends of the slide. One side of the dustproof cloth and the limiting elastic strips extends to the outside of the box and is fixedly connected to a counterweight.
[0012] Preferably, the downward pressure exerted by the spring on the closing block by pushing the pressure plate is greater than the pulling force exerted by the counterweight on the closing block, so as to prevent the closing block from sliding and to ensure the stability of keeping the rotating door closed during daily use.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This tool-free hinged computer case door, through the setting of the hinge, can realize the rotational connection between the case body and the rotating case door. The locking buckle and the locking plate ensure the closing of the rotating case door, and the rotating case door can be opened simply by prying the unlocking block outwards. The above structure is simple to operate, allowing for quick opening and closing of the rotating case door without the need for tools. It also avoids the situation where bolted parts are easily lost after removal, thus facilitating use. Furthermore, the setting of the closing block... It can help keep the rotating box door closed. The specific contents are as follows: (1) By setting the hinge on one side, the box body and the rotating box door can be connected to rotate. By the buckle of the buckle and the buckle plate, the rotating box door can be closed. And just pry the unlocking block outward, and the rotating box door can be opened outward by the linkage of the linkage frame and the buckle. The above structure is simple to operate. The rotating box door can be opened and closed quickly without the use of tools. It can also avoid the situation that the bolt locking parts are easy to fall off and lose after being removed, thus greatly facilitating the use.
[0014] (2) By using the combination of the fixing rod, spring and clamping plate, the closing block can be pressed and fixed on the top of the box. When the rotating box door needs to be opened, the closing block can be lifted up until its bottom end is separated from the rotating box door. The clamping plate moves up along the fixing rod at the same time, and the spring is compressed. At this time, the unlocking block can be rotated to open the rotating box door.
[0015] (3) When the rotating door is opened, the closing block can be moved along the slide to the other side. The fixing rod is separated from the closing block through the through groove. In this way, the closing block can be stuck between the connection between the box and the rotating door, so that the two form a fixed angle and cannot be easily closed, so that the staff can repair the internal components of the box.
[0016] (4) Covering the slide with a dustproof cloth can prevent dust from falling into the interior of the box through the slide. When the closing block moves, it will push the dustproof cloth and the limiting elastic strip to slide outward along the inside of the slide. With the cooperation of the counterweight block, the movement can be smoother. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a tool-free hinged computer case door, comprising a case body 1 and a rotating case door 2; mounting brackets 3 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the case body 1, and one side of the rotating case door 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting brackets 3 via two hinges 4, and the other side is rotatably connected to a linkage frame 5 via one hinge 4. A snap fastener 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the linkage frame 5, wherein the two ends of the linkage frame 5 are rotatably connected to the hinges 4 and the snap fastener 6 via rotating pins 8 respectively, so as to achieve the effect of linkage opening and closing of the door, and a snap plate 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 3 on this side, and the snap fastener 6 is fixedly snapped to the snap plate 7, and an unlocking block 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the linkage frame 5.
[0026] The rotating hinge 4 on one side enables the rotational connection between the housing 1 and the rotating door 2. The latching buckle 6 and the latching plate 7 ensure the closing effect of the rotating door 2. When the rotating door 2 needs to be opened, simply pry the unlocking block 9 outward to rotate the linkage frame 5. The linkage frame 5 then rotates the latching buckle 6, causing it to disengage from the latching plate 7. At this point, the rotating door 2 can be opened outward. When the rotating door 2 needs to be closed, simply rotate the unlocking block 9 in the opposite direction to re-lock the latching buckle 6 and the latching plate 7. The above structure is simple and convenient to operate, allowing the rotating door 2 to be opened and closed quickly without the need for tools. It also avoids the situation where bolt locking parts are easily lost after being removed, thus greatly facilitating use.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a closing block 11 is attached to the top of the box body 1 to help keep the rotating box door 2 closed. The closing block 11 has an n-shaped structure, and its two bottom plates are respectively attached to the inside of the top of the box body 1 and the outside of one end of the rotating box door 2. The bottom end of the bottom plate of the side of the closing block 11 inside the box body 1 is formed with a protruding plate 12, and the protruding plate 12 is attached to the inner wall of the rotating box door 2. This structure can achieve a stable limiting effect on the rotating box door 2 and also prevent the closing block 11 from coming out of the box body 1.
[0028] Meanwhile, a fixing rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1, and the top of the fixing rod 13 extends through to the top of the closing block 11 and is fixedly connected to a spring 14. A pressing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 14, and the pressing plate 15 slides on the outside of the fixing rod 13 and presses against the top of the closing block 11. Through the cooperation of the fixing rod 13, the spring 14, and the pressing plate 15, the closing block 11 can be pressed and fixed to the top of the box body 1. When it is necessary to open the rotating box door 2, the closing block 11 can be lifted up until its bottom end is no longer in contact with the rotating box door 2. The pressing plate 15 moves upward along the fixing rod 13 at the same time, and the spring 14 is compressed. At this time, the unlocking block 9 can be rotated to open the rotating box door 2.
[0029] Furthermore, a sliding groove 10 is provided on the top of the box 1 near the rotating connection point of the box 1 and the rotating door 2, and a locking block 11 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 10. A through groove 16 is provided on one side of the locking block 11 for the fixed rod 13 to slide through. When the rotating door 2 is opened, the locking block 11 can be moved along the sliding groove 10 to the other side, and the fixed rod 13 is disengaged from the locking block 11 through the through groove 16. In this way, the locking block 11 can be locked between the connection point of the box 1 and the rotating door 2, so that the two form a fixed angle and cannot be easily closed, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the internal components of the box 1 by the staff.
[0030] In addition, a dustproof component is installed inside the slide 10. The dustproof component includes a dustproof cloth 17 fixedly connected to the side wall of the closing block 11 and two limiting elastic strips 18. The dustproof cloth 17 is connected between the two limiting elastic strips 18 and covers the slide 10. The two limiting elastic strips 18 limit the sliding within both ends of the slide 10. One side of the dustproof cloth 17 and the limiting elastic strips 18 extends to the outside of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a counterweight block 19. It should be noted that the spring 14 pushes and tightens the pressure plate 15. The downward pressure on the closing block 11 is greater than the pulling force on the closing block 11 by the counterweight 19, so as to prevent the closing block 11 from sliding and to ensure the stability of keeping the rotating door 2 closed during daily use. The dustproof cloth 17 covers the slide groove 10 to prevent dust from falling into the interior of the box 1 through the slide groove 10. When the closing block 11 moves, it will push the dustproof cloth 17 and the limiting elastic strip 18 to slide outward along the inside of the slide groove 10. With the cooperation of the counterweight 19, the movement can be made smoother.
