Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of graphics card brackets, and in particular to a graphics card mounting height adjustable bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of computer technology, graphics cards, as one of the core hardware components of a computer, have seen continuous performance improvements. Especially in high-end graphics cards, the number of chip clusters has increased, and the heat dissipation structure has become more complex and larger. These high-performance graphics cards are typically installed by connecting one end to the motherboard and fixing it in place, while the other end is suspended inside the computer case. Due to the significant weight of the graphics card, especially when equipped with a heavy cooling module, the suspended end is prone to sagging due to gravity. This sagging can not only reduce the reliability of the connection between the graphics card and the motherboard but also adversely affect the long-term stability and lifespan of the graphics card. To address this issue, existing technologies typically use brackets to support the suspended end of the graphics card, preventing sagging and ensuring a stable connection. However, existing graphics card brackets still have many shortcomings in practical applications. For example, some brackets have a relatively simple design and cannot accommodate graphics cards of different sizes, resulting in poor versatility. Furthermore, some brackets are prone to slippage or loosening during installation, affecting usability. At the same time, to meet the strength requirements, existing brackets often use heavy materials or structural designs, but this can increase the overall weight, negatively impacting the internal space layout and heat dissipation environment of the computer case. Therefore, designing a graphics card bracket that can adapt to graphics cards of various sizes, ensure stable support, and meet the needs of lightweight design has become an urgent technical challenge. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a graphics card mounting height adjustment bracket to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An adjustable mounting bracket for graphics cards is designed to provide effective support for graphics cards through optimized structural design, while also meeting the compatibility requirements of graphics cards of different sizes.

[0006] The graphics card mounting height adjustment bracket includes a sliding support shell, a fixed base, a sliding clamp, and related locking and guiding structures. The sliding support shell, as the core load-bearing component of the bracket, has a fixed base at one end and a sliding clamp at the other. A pair of guide grooves are formed on the sliding support shell, extending along its length to guide the sliding path of the sliding clamp. Furthermore, a pair of reinforcing rods, made of metal, are fixedly installed inside the sliding support shell and arranged longitudinally to enhance its bending resistance and structural toughness. A support rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding support shell, extending along its length and featuring multiple weight-reducing grooves. These grooves are rectangular or elliptical in shape to reduce the overall weight of the bracket while maintaining the rigidity of the support rod.

[0007] The sliding chuck is mounted on the sliding support housing. An integrally formed abutment portion is located on the top of the sliding chuck, which engages with the fixed base to clamp the graphics card. A locking guide bar is provided on the inner wall of the sliding chuck, engaging with a guide groove on the sliding support housing. The cross-sectional shape of the locking guide bar matches the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove to ensure the sliding chuck remains stable and does not shift during sliding. Specifically, a locking bolt is threaded onto the sliding chuck, penetrating its housing. The end of the locking bolt abuts against the inner wall of the guide groove. When the sliding chuck moves to the target position, rotating the locking bolt causes its end to press tightly against the inner wall of the guide groove, thereby locking the sliding chuck in place.

[0008] The fixed base is securely mounted at one end of the sliding support shell. The top of the fixed base and the contact part of the sliding clamp are on the same horizontal plane to ensure even force distribution on the graphics card during clamping. An anti-slip plate made of rubber with raised texture is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed base to increase friction when assembled into the computer case and prevent slippage. Furthermore, the fixed base and the sliding support shell are connected by bolts, and a locating pin is provided at the connection point to ensure accurate positioning of the fixed base during installation and prevent misalignment.

[0009] The locking and guiding structure consists of a locking bolt, a guide groove, and a fastening guide bar. The locking bolt passes through the sliding chuck and engages with the guide groove. By rotating the locking bolt, its end is brought into close contact with the inner wall of the guide groove, thereby locking the sliding chuck in place. The inner wall of the guide groove has a groove whose depth matches the diameter of the locking bolt's end, ensuring that the locking bolt is stably embedded in the groove when locked. Furthermore, the outer side of the fastening guide bar has a protrusion whose shape matches the shape of the groove on the inner wall of the guide groove, enhancing the stability of the sliding chuck during sliding.

[0010] Lightweight design is one of the key innovations of this invention. Multiple weight-reducing grooves on the support rod are precisely calculated in position and size to minimize the overall weight of the support while maintaining its rigidity. Specifically, the grooves are positioned to avoid the main stress areas of the support rod, preventing any reduction in its strength. The reinforcing rods further enhance the structural strength and toughness of the sliding support shell, allowing the support to maintain high support performance while reducing weight.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] The technical advantages of this invention are reflected in several aspects. First, through the cooperation of the sliding clamp and the fixed base, the bracket can adapt to the installation requirements of graphics cards of different sizes, and precise positioning is achieved through locking bolts, solving the problem of sagging caused by the weight of the graphics card. Second, the reinforcing rod, support rod, and weight-reducing groove structure used in the bracket design enhance the rigidity and toughness of the bracket while achieving the goal of lightweighting, facilitating installation and use inside the computer case. In addition, the anti-slip plate effectively improves the stability of the bracket inside the case, avoiding installation failure caused by slippage.

[0013] In summary, this utility model, through optimized structural design and material selection, provides a graphics card fan height adjustment bracket that is simple in structure, flexible in adjustment, widely applicable, and highly stable, and can be widely used in the installation and support of high-performance graphics cards.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0023] A graphics card mounting height adjustment bracket, the structural design and functional implementation of which are mainly achieved through a sliding support shell, a fixed base, a sliding clamp, and related locking and guiding structures. The following is in conjunction with the attached... Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail.

[0024] The core component of this invention is the sliding support shell 9, which serves as the main load-bearing structure of the entire support. One end is fixedly fitted with a base 7, and the other end is used to mount the sliding chuck 1. The sliding support shell 9 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, and its surface is anodized to improve corrosion resistance. A pair of guide grooves 6 are provided on the sliding support shell 9, extending along its length to guide the sliding path of the sliding chuck 1. The cross-sectional shape of the guide grooves 6 is T-shaped, matching the cross-sectional shape of the connecting guide bar 4, thus ensuring that the sliding chuck 1 remains stable and does not shift during sliding. A pair of reinforcing rods 11 are also fixedly installed inside the sliding support shell 9. These reinforcing rods 11 are made of stainless steel and arranged longitudinally along the sliding support shell 9. The function of the reinforcing rods 11 is to enhance the bending resistance and structural toughness of the sliding support shell 9, making it less prone to deformation under heavy loads. Furthermore, a support rod 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding support shell 9, extending along its length and featuring multiple weight-reducing grooves 10. The weight-reducing groove 10 is rectangular or elliptical in shape, and its distribution position is precisely calculated to avoid the main stress area of ​​the support rod 5, thereby minimizing the overall weight of the bracket while ensuring the rigidity of the support rod 5.

[0025] The sliding chuck 1 is slidably mounted on the sliding support shell 9, with an integrally formed abutment part 2 on its top. The abutment part 2 cooperates with the fixed base 7 to clamp the graphics card. The clamping process is achieved by the sliding chuck 1 moving along the guide groove 6. The inner wall of the sliding chuck 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​guide bar 4, which snaps into the guide groove 6. The outer side of the snap-fit ​​guide bar 4 is provided with a protrusion, the shape of which matches the groove shape of the inner wall of the guide groove 6, thereby further enhancing the stability of the sliding chuck 1 during the sliding process. A locking bolt 3 is threaded onto the sliding chuck 1, penetrating its shell. The end of the locking bolt 3 is used to abut against the inner wall of the guide groove 6. When the sliding chuck 1 moves to the target position, the locking bolt 3 is rotated so that the end of the locking bolt 3 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the guide groove 6, thereby locking the position of the sliding chuck 1. The design of the locking bolt 3 allows the sliding chuck 1 to achieve precise positioning at any position, adapting to the installation requirements of graphics cards of different sizes.

[0026] The fixed base 7 is fixedly mounted at one end of the sliding support shell 9, with its top surface aligned with the contact portion 2 of the sliding clamp 1 to ensure even force distribution on the graphics card during clamping. An anti-slip plate 8, made of rubber with raised textures, is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed base 7 to increase friction and prevent slippage when the bracket is installed in the computer case. The fixed base 7 and the sliding support shell 9 are connected by bolts, with a locating pin at the connection point to ensure accurate positioning and prevent displacement of the fixed base 7 during installation. The anti-slip plate 8 not only improves the stability of the bracket within the computer case but also effectively prevents the graphics card from loosening due to external vibrations.

[0027] The locking and guiding structure consists of a locking bolt 3, a guide groove 6, and a fastening guide bar 4. The locking bolt 3 passes through the sliding chuck 1 and engages with the guide groove 6. By rotating the locking bolt 3, its end is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the guide groove 6, thereby locking the position of the sliding chuck 1. The inner wall of the guide groove 6 has a groove, the depth of which matches the diameter of the end of the locking bolt 3, ensuring that the locking bolt 3 can be stably embedded in the groove in the locked state. The design of the fastening guide bar 4 further enhances the stability of the sliding chuck 1 during sliding, preventing it from shaking or shifting during movement.

[0028] Lightweight design is one of the key innovations of this invention. Multiple weight-reducing grooves 10 on the support rod 5 are precisely calculated in position and size to minimize the overall weight of the support while maintaining its rigidity. The distribution of the weight-reducing grooves 10 avoids the main stress areas of the support rod 5, thus preventing a decrease in the strength of the support rod 5 due to their presence. The reinforcing rod 11 further enhances the structural strength and toughness of the sliding support shell 9, enabling the support to maintain high support performance while reducing weight.

[0029] The technical advantages of this invention are reflected in several aspects. First, through the cooperation of the sliding clamp 1 and the fixed base 7, the bracket can adapt to the installation requirements of graphics cards of different sizes, and precise positioning is achieved through the locking bolt 3, solving the problem of sagging caused by the weight of the graphics card. Second, the reinforcing rod 11, support rod 5, and weight-reducing groove 10 structures used in the bracket design enhance the rigidity and toughness of the bracket while achieving the goal of lightweighting, facilitating installation and use inside the computer case. In addition, the anti-slip plate 8 effectively improves the stability of the bracket inside the case, avoiding installation failure caused by slippage.

[0030] In practical applications, the height-adjustable bracket of this invention can be widely used in the installation and support of high-performance graphics cards. For example, when a user needs to install a heavy, high-end graphics card, the height-adjustable bracket of this invention can be installed inside the computer case. First, place the fixed base 7 at the bottom of the case and ensure that the bracket will not slide using the anti-slip pads 8. Then, adjust the position of the sliding clamp 1 according to the actual size of the graphics card, so that the distance between the contact part 2 of the sliding clamp 1 and the fixed base 7 matches the width of the graphics card. After adjustment, rotate the locking bolt 3 to fix the position of the sliding clamp 1, ensuring that the graphics card will not loosen during clamping. Finally, check the overall installation of the bracket to ensure that both ends of the graphics card are effectively supported, thereby avoiding the problem of the graphics card sagging due to gravity.

[0031] In summary, this utility model, through optimized structural design and material selection, provides a graphics card fan height adjustment bracket that is simple in structure, flexible in adjustment, widely applicable, and highly stable. This bracket not only meets the installation requirements of graphics cards of different sizes but also achieves excellent support performance through lightweight design and reinforced structure, making it widely applicable to the installation and support of high-performance graphics cards. The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
