Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer equipment technology, specifically a quick-release water-cooling structure and chassis with a pin. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of computer performance, the heat generated by core components such as CPUs and GPUs has increased dramatically, making traditional air cooling insufficient to meet the needs of high-end users. Therefore, water cooling systems (referred to as "water cooling"), which have higher heat dissipation efficiency, have been widely used.

[0003] In existing technologies, water cooling radiators (water cooling heat sinks) are typically fixed to the front panel of the computer case using multiple screws. This installation method has several drawbacks: First, the installation process is cumbersome. Users need to align the water cooling radiator with multiple screw holes on the front panel within the confined space of the computer case and tighten the screws one by one, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires high installation precision. Second, disassembly and maintenance are inconvenient, as the process of loosening and tightening screws needs to be repeated every time hardware is cleaned or replaced.

[0004] Therefore, how to simplify the installation and disassembly process of water cooling radiators and achieve fast and stable installation is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the current chassis and water cooling heat dissipation fields. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-release water-cooling structure and chassis with a pin, which can achieve fast, stable installation with good vibration reduction effect.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A quick-release water-cooling structure includes a mounting bracket, a fixing member, and a water-cooling radiator for mounting a cooling fan. The mounting bracket is provided with an elastic member, and the fixing member is used to connect with the water-cooling radiator and press the elastic member against the water-cooling radiator so that the mounting bracket is tightly attached to the water-cooling radiator.

[0008] The fastener is a screw or a pin.

[0009] The fastener has a T-shaped structure and is integrally formed with the water cooling radiator.

[0010] The elastic element is a spring sheet that protrudes away from the mounting bracket. The spring sheet is provided with a limiting hole, and the fixing element passes through the limiting hole and presses against the spring sheet.

[0011] The mounting bracket is also provided with a clearance hole that communicates with the limiting hole and allows the fastener to pass through.

[0012] In addition, this utility model also discloses a chassis, which includes a panel and a quick-release water-cooling structure as described above, wherein the panel is provided with mounting holes.

[0013] When the water cooling radiator and the mounting bracket are respectively attached to the inner and outer ends of the panel, the fixing member passes through the elastic member and the mounting hole of the panel in sequence and then connects to the water cooling radiator. The fixing member presses against the elastic member so that the mounting bracket is tightly attached to the panel, while the water cooling radiator is fixedly installed on one end of the panel.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model discloses a quick-release water-cooling structure and chassis with a pin. Through the ingenious combination of fasteners, mounting brackets and elastic components, it transforms the traditional cumbersome screw fixing method into a simple plug-in or press-type fixing. Users can quickly complete the installation and disassembly of the water-cooling radiator without the need for tools, which greatly simplifies the process of system installation and subsequent maintenance and improves the user experience.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a quick-release water-cooling structure, mainly composed of a water-cooling radiator 100, a mounting bracket 101, and a fixing component 102. The water-cooling radiator 100 is a standard water-cooling radiator, on which one or more cooling fans can be installed.

[0029] The core of this embodiment lies in its unique fixing mechanism. An elastic element 103 is provided on the mounting bracket 101, and a fixing element 102 is used to connect to the water-cooling radiator 100. During assembly, the fixing element 102 passes through or acts on the elastic element 103, applying pressure towards the water-cooling radiator 100. Under this pressure, the elastic element 103 undergoes elastic deformation, and its reaction force firmly "pulls" the mounting bracket 101 towards the water-cooling radiator 100, thereby achieving a tight fit and fixing effect.

[0030] In one specific implementation, the fastener 102 can be either a conventional screw or a pin. When using a pin, faster tool-free installation can be achieved.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the fastener 102 is designed as a T-shaped structure and integrally formed with the water-cooling radiator 100. This means that several T-shaped fixing posts extend directly from the mounting surface of the water-cooling radiator 100. This design eliminates the need for any additional screws or pins, greatly simplifying the structure.

[0032] The elastic element 103 can be specifically defined as one or more spring pieces, which protrude from the plate of the mounting bracket 101 and face away from the mounting bracket 101. The spring pieces are provided with key limiting holes 104. In order to allow the fixing element 102 to pass through smoothly, the mounting bracket 101 is also provided with corresponding clearance holes 105, which communicate with the limiting holes 104 on the spring pieces.

[0033] Its working principle is as follows: After the T-shaped fastener 102 (screw, pin, or other T-shaped component) passes through the clearance hole 105, the user presses down on the spring clip, causing the head of the T-shaped fastener 102 to pass through the limiting hole 104. Then, the spring clip or mounting bracket 101 is moved horizontally, causing the neck of the T-shaped fastener 102 to engage in the narrow groove of the limiting hole 104. After releasing the pressure, the spring clip's rebound force will press it tightly against the underside of the head of the T-shaped fastener 102, thereby generating a continuous and powerful locking force.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a chassis, the panel 201 of which has mounting holes 202, and the aforementioned quick-release water cooling structure is used to install the water cooling radiator 100.

[0036] The specific installation process is as follows:

[0037] First, place the water cooling radiator 100 on one side (e.g., the outside) of the chassis panel 201, and align the T-shaped fasteners 102 (including screws, pins, etc.) with and pass them through the mounting holes 202 on the panel 201.

[0038] Next, on the other side (e.g., the inside) of the chassis panel 201, remove the mounting bracket 101, align the clearance hole 105 on it with the fastener 102 passing through the panel 201 and insert it.

[0039] Then, press down on the spring piece on the mounting bracket 101 with your finger so that the larger opening of its limiting hole 104 is aligned with and passes over the head of the fixing member 102.

[0040] Finally, slide the mounting bracket 101 horizontally so that the neck of the fixing member 102 engages with the narrow portion of the limiting hole 104, then release. At this moment, the rebound force of the spring will immediately act on the underside of the head of the fixing member 102, generating a strong clamping force;

[0041] Ultimately, the water-cooling radiator 100 and mounting bracket 101 act like a clamp, firmly "clamping" the chassis panel 201 in the middle through the action of the fastener 102 and the spring clip. The entire installation process requires no tools and can be completed with just a few simple actions: "aligning the holes, fitting in, pressing, and sliding," achieving truly rapid installation. At the same time, the continuous pressure provided by the spring clip effectively suppresses vibration, ensuring the quiet operation of the system.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. 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 solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
