Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device chassis structure design technology, and in particular to a modular drive motherboard chassis. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial control equipment, the drive motherboard is a core control component, and its installation structure directly affects the equipment's operational stability, maintenance efficiency, and ease of operation. Currently, most common drive motherboard installation methods adopt a fixed chassis structure, with the motherboard directly installed inside the chassis. This process is complex, requiring multiple disassemblies with tools, which is not only cumbersome but also results in low maintenance efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, while some chassis feature pull-out mechanisms, they lack effective cushioning, making them prone to impact or shaking during rapid pulling, thus affecting operational safety. Additionally, most existing clamping mechanisms are fixed or have limited adjustment ranges, making them difficult to adapt to motherboards of different sizes, resulting in insecure clamping or installation difficulties.

[0004] Therefore, a modular drive motherboard chassis needs to be designed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing driver motherboard installation methods, such as fixed structure, inconvenient disassembly and assembly, limited adjustment range of clamping structure, and inability to adapt to motherboards of different sizes, this utility model provides a modular driver motherboard chassis.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a modular drive motherboard chassis, including a chassis, a fixed plate, a pull-out plate, a slider, a guide rail, a sliding plate, a clamping assembly, and a drive motherboard body. The fixed plate is fixedly connected inside the chassis. Vertically arranged limiting slide grooves are opened on the left and right sides of the top of the fixed plate. A pull-out plate is slidably arranged on the upper part of the fixed plate. A gripping groove is provided on the front side of the pull-out plate. A slider that matches the limiting slide groove is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull-out plate and is slidably connected to the fixed plate through the slider. Horizontally arranged guide rails are opened on the front and rear sides of the top of the pull-out plate. A sliding plate is slidably connected between the upper parts of the two guide rails. A clamping assembly is provided on the left side of the sliding plate. The drive motherboard body is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding plate through the clamping assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping assembly also includes a limiting block, a mating block, a guide rod, a pressure plate, a return spring, and a limiting component. A vertical groove is provided on the left side of the sliding plate. Two limiting blocks are slidably connected to the left side of the sliding plate. A mating block that matches the vertical groove is fixedly connected to the lower part of the limiting block and is slidably connected to the sliding plate through the mating block. A guide rod is fixedly connected inside each limiting block. A pressure plate is slidably connected to the right side of the limiting block. The pressure plate is slidably connected to the guide rod. A return spring is connected between the top of the pressure plate and the top of the inner part of the limiting block. A limiting component is provided on the right side of the sliding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a lead screw, a clamping plate, and a rotating disk. A transverse groove is provided on the top right side of the sliding plate, and the lead screw is rotatably connected in the transverse groove. The clamping plate is slidably provided on the top of the sliding plate, and the lower part of the clamping plate is slidably connected to the transverse groove and threadedly connected to the lead screw. The right extension end of the lead screw passes through the right side of the sliding plate and is fixedly connected to the rotating disk.

[0009] Preferably, the device also includes a damping rod, with its fixed end fixedly disposed on the front side of the fixed plate and its telescopic end fixedly connected to the slider of the pull-out plate. The damping rod is located within the limiting groove of the fixed plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a flap, which is rotatably connected to the front left side of the box via a pivot.

[0011] As a preferred option, it also includes a transparent panel, with the transparent panel embedded in the middle of the flap.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By using the combination of limiting block, mating block, pressure plate, guide rod and return spring, this utility model allows users to flexibly adjust the clamping position according to the size of the motherboard and achieve rapid positioning and clamping, thereby improving installation efficiency and clamping stability.

[0013] 2. This utility model, through the design of lead screw, clamping plate and rotating disk, can adjust and clamp drive mainboards of different sizes laterally. Combined with the flip plate and the transparent plate embedded on it, it achieves the technical effect of strong adaptability, intuitive observation and convenient maintenance.

[0014] 3. By setting up a pull-out plate, a sliding plate, and a damping rod structure, this utility model enables the pull-out plate to slide smoothly within the limiting groove, and provides buffering force through the damping rod during the opening and closing process, thereby improving operational safety and preventing impact and shaking.

The fixed plate 2 is bolted to the inside of the housing 1. The flip plate 3 is rotatably connected to the front left side of the housing 1 via a pivot. The transparent plate 4 is embedded in the middle of the flip plate 3. Vertically positioned limiting grooves are provided on the top left and right sides of the fixed plate 2. A pull-out plate 5 slides on the upper part of the fixed plate 2. A gripping groove is provided on the front side of the pull-out plate 5. A sliding plate that matches the limiting groove is bolted to the bottom of the pull-out plate 5. Block 6 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 2 via slider 6. The fixed plate 2 has a damping rod 7 in its limiting groove. The fixed end of the damping rod 7 is fixedly set on the front side of the fixed plate 2, and the telescopic end is connected to the slider 6 of the pull-out plate 5 by bolts. It is used to provide buffer force during the opening and closing of the pull-out plate 5 and slow down the movement speed of the slider 6. The top front and rear sides of the pull-out plate 5 are provided with horizontally arranged guide rails 8. A sliding plate 9 is slidably connected between the upper parts of the two guide rails 8. A clamping assembly is provided on the left side of the sliding plate 9. The main drive board body 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding plate 9 through the clamping assembly.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a limiting block 10, a mating block 1001, a guide rod 11, a pressure plate 12, a return spring 13, and a limiting component. A vertical groove is provided on the left side of the sliding plate 9. Two limiting blocks 10 are slidably connected to the left side of the sliding plate 9. The lower part of the limiting block 10 is integrally formed and connected to the mating block 1001 that is adapted to the vertical groove. The mating block 1001 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 9 through the mating block 1001. The guide rod 11 is integrally formed inside each limiting block 10. A pressure plate 12 is slidably connected to the right side of the limiting block 10. The pressure plate 12 is slidably connected to the guide rod 11. A return spring 13 is connected between the top of the pressure plate 12 and the top of the inner part of the limiting block 10. A limiting component is provided on the right side of the sliding plate 9.

[0025] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a lead screw 15, a clamping plate 14, and a rotating disk 16. A transverse groove is provided on the top right side of the sliding plate 9, and the lead screw 15 is rotatably connected in the transverse groove. The clamping plate 14 is slidably disposed on the top of the sliding plate 9. The lower part of the clamping plate 14 is slidably connected to the transverse groove and threadedly connected to the lead screw 15. The right extension end of the lead screw 15 passes through the right side of the sliding plate 9 and is connected to the rotating disk 16 by welding.

[0026] The present invention provides a modular drive motherboard chassis. In actual use, the user can pull out the pull plate 5 along the limiting slide groove on the fixed plate 2 by grasping the handle groove. The drive motherboard body 17 moves together with the sliding plate 9, which facilitates the installation or maintenance of the drive motherboard body 17.

[0027] When the drive motherboard body 17 needs to be installed, the user first pulls the pull plate 5 outward along the limiting groove on the fixed plate 2, so that the sliding plate 9 moves out of the operating area inside the housing 1. During the movement of the pull plate 5, the damping rod 7 provides stable buffering force through the connection structure between its telescopic end and the slider 6, preventing impact or shaking caused by excessively fast pulling action, and improving operational safety and stability.

[0028] Subsequently, the drive motherboard body 17 is placed on the mounting surface at the top of the sliding plate 9, and the clamping position is adjusted according to the motherboard size. The user can slide and adjust the position of the limiting block 10 back and forth according to the width of the motherboard. The bottom of the limiting block 10 is connected to the vertical slide groove on the left side of the sliding plate 9 through the mating block 1001, so that it fits against the left edge of the motherboard. After the adjustment is completed, the pressure plate 12 is lifted up in sequence, the return spring 13 is compressed, the left side of the drive motherboard body 17 is slid into the limiting block 10, and then the pressure plate 12 is released. The pressure plate 12 can automatically reset and press the motherboard under the action of the return spring 13, ensuring that the clamping process is stable and reliable, and achieving initial positioning.

[0029] Next, the user can slide the clamping plate 14 left or right according to the length of the motherboard. By rotating the rotating disk 16, the lead screw 15 is driven to rotate. The lead screw 15 then moves the clamping plate 14 laterally along the slide groove, gradually bringing the clamping plate 14 closer to the right side of the motherboard until it presses against the edge of the motherboard, thus achieving a stable clamping of the drive motherboard and preventing displacement caused by vibration or impact during equipment operation. At this point, the pull-out plate 5 can be pushed back to its original position, completing the entire installation process.

[0030] After installation, the user can push the pull-out panel 5 back to its original position and close the flap 3 to protect the internal structure. The flap 3 is located on the front left side of the housing 1, with a transparent panel 4 embedded in the middle, which allows for real-time observation of the motherboard's operating status without opening the flap 3, further improving the convenience and intelligence of the device.

[0031] In summary, this modular driver motherboard chassis has advantages such as reasonable structure, convenient operation, and complete functions, and is suitable for the efficient installation and maintenance needs of driver motherboards in various industrial control equipment.
