Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a graphics card misalignment mounting bracket and chassis. Background Technology

[0002] Graphics cards are the core units for computer graphics and AI computing. With the advancement of computer graphics technology and the popularization of AI, graphics cards have become increasingly larger and more powerful hardware components in computers. The standard installation method used for many years, which involves directly plugging the graphics card into the motherboard, with the card perpendicular to the motherboard and located in the lower part of the case, causes a large amount of heat generated by the graphics card during operation to be unable to dissipate in time and instead diffuses upwards within the case, reducing the stability of the CPU, memory, and other hardware located above it. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a graphics card misalignment mounting bracket and chassis to solve at least one technical problem in the prior art.

[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a graphics card misalignment mounting bracket, which is applied to a computer case. The bracket includes a first support portion, and the first support portion has a first end and a second end in opposite directions.

[0005] The first side of the first end of the first support is provided with a first connecting plate, and the plate surface of the first connecting plate is perpendicular to the first side of the first support; the second side of the second end of the first support is provided with a plug-in interface, and the opening direction of the plug-in interface is parallel to the second side of the first support, and the opening direction of the plug-in interface is perpendicular to the plate surface of the first connecting plate.

[0006] The first support portion is configured as follows:

[0007] The first support part is slidably engaged with the fixing plate of the graphics card assembly, and the connector of the fixing plate is inserted into the connector interface, so that the fixing end of the fixing plate is engaged with the first connecting plate; wherein, on the side of the cooling fan of the graphics card assembly, the angle β between the direction of the sliding engagement and the motherboard inside the chassis is an obtuse angle.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first bracket further includes a second connecting plate, which is connected to the first support portion, and the surface of the second connecting plate is perpendicular to the first side surface of the first support portion;

[0009] The second connecting plate is fixedly connected to the chassis.

[0010] In some implementations, the included angle β is 135° ± 15°.

[0011] In some implementations, the first support portion is provided with a reserved opening from which the wiring ports of the graphics card assembly can be exposed.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first support further includes a second support portion and a third support portion located between and connected to the first support portion and the second support portion, wherein the first support portion and the second support portion are located on both sides of the third support portion; and the second connecting plate is disposed on the side of the second support portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second support portion and the third support portion are both located on the second side of the first support portion; the second connecting plate has a notch on the side facing the first support portion.

[0014] In some implementations, a second bracket is also included, which includes a support plate, the first end of which is selectively fixed to the chassis.

[0015] In some implementations, the support plate has a tray on the side facing the graphics card assembly, and the tray has a baffle on the side facing away from the first end of the support plate.

[0016] In some implementations, the tray can slide along the length of the support plate to adjust the length of the second bracket.

[0017] In some implementations, the direction of the sliding engagement is perpendicular to the side of the support plate facing the graphics card assembly.

[0018] In some implementations, the chassis is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes, and the support plate can adjust the position of the second bracket inside the chassis through different adjustment holes.

[0019] A first aspect of this application provides a chassis including a top cover, a bottom cover, and a side cover disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover.

[0020] It also includes the aforementioned mounting bracket;

[0021] The top cover is provided with an exhaust port, the bottom cover is provided with an air inlet, and the mounting bracket is fixed to the inside of the chassis.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the advantage that the mounting bracket allows the air intake surface of the graphics card assembly to form an angle β with the motherboard inside the chassis. This angle β helps the cooling fan absorb cool air from the bottom cover's air intake and exhaust the heat generated by the graphics card from the top cover's exhaust vent, achieving efficient heat dissipation. Additionally, the mounting bracket includes a second bracket to support the graphics card assembly, making it more stable within the chassis. Furthermore, compared to traditional chassis, this application's chassis, by inverting the motherboard, adjusts the graphics card's installation position to the upper half of the chassis, while the CPU, memory, and other hardware are moved to the lower half. The staggered mounting bracket allows the graphics card to be installed at an angle, directing the air intake towards the bottom of the chassis and the exhaust towards the top, shortening the path for hot air to escape from the graphics card and reducing heat diffusion within the chassis, thus improving the stability of computer operation.

[0040] The accompanying drawings illustrate one or more examples of this application. The detailed description uses numerical and alphabetic designations to refer to features in the drawings. Similar or analogous designations in the drawings and description have been used to refer to similar or analogous parts of this application. As used herein, the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” etc., are used interchangeably to distinguish one component from another and are not intended to indicate the location or importance of individual components.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, taking one type of chassis 10 as an example, the chassis 10 includes a top cover 101, a bottom cover 102, and four side covers 103 surrounding the top cover 101 and the bottom cover 102. A motherboard 21 is housed inside the chassis 10, and the motherboard 21 is mounted on one of the side covers 103. The chassis 10 also includes a graphics card assembly 22, which includes an independent graphics card, a cooling fan 2205, heatsinks, etc. In conventional installation methods, the graphics card assembly 22 is directly plugged into the motherboard 21, which leads to some problems mentioned in the background art. Therefore, this application provides a graphics card misalignment mounting bracket, in which the graphics card assembly 22 is misaligned and fixed inside the chassis 10 by the mounting bracket, and the graphics card is electrically connected to the motherboard 21 via a flexible data cable 23.

[0042] In traditional computer cases, the CPU is typically located in the upper-middle section of the case, while the graphics card is usually located in the lower-middle section. However, the case structure described in this application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the graphics card assembly 22 is located in the upper middle part of the chassis 10, while the CPU mounting position 2101 is located in the lower middle part of the chassis 10. This layout can improve the technical problems pointed out in the background art, that is, the heat generated by the graphics card can be directly discharged from the top of the chassis 10 to the outside of the chassis 10, and the heat generated by the graphics card will not pass through the CPU, memory and other hardware, which can improve the stability of the above hardware during operation.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the graphics card assembly 22 has a mounting plate 2201 on its side, and a heatsink 2206 is disposed between the graphics card 221 and the cooling fan 2205. Normally, the length of the mounting plate 2201 is parallel to the air intake surface of the cooling fan 2205; or, the angle between the extension line of the mounting plate 2201 and the air intake surface of the cooling fan 2205 is 0°. Adjusting the position and angle of the mounting plate 2201 within the chassis 10 allows adjustment of the angle of the cooling fan 2205. The first end of the mounting plate 2201 has a mounting end 2203, located on the side of the mounting plate 2201 facing away from the cooling fan 2205, and perpendicular to the mounting plate 2201; the second end of the mounting plate 2201 has a connector 2202.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the misaligned mounting bracket includes a first bracket 31, which includes a first support portion 3101. The first support portion 3101 has a first end and a second end in opposite directions. A first side surface 3101a of the first support portion 3101 is provided with a first connecting plate 3102. The side of the first connecting plate 3102 is connected to the end of the first end of the first support portion 3101, and the plate surface of the first connecting plate 3102 is perpendicular to the first side surface 3101a of the first support portion 3101. A second side surface 3101b of the first support portion 3101 is provided with an insertion interface 3103. The insertion interface 3103 is located at the second end of the first support portion 3101, and the opening direction of the insertion interface 3103 is parallel to the second side surface 3101b of the first support portion 3101 and perpendicular to the plate surface of the first connecting plate 3102.

[0045] When the graphics card assembly 22 is slidably engaged with the first support portion 3101, the connector 2202 of the fixing plate 2201 moves along... Figure 6 Insert the connector 3103 in the direction of the middle arrow X, and the fixing plate 2201 of the graphics card assembly 22 is close to and fits against the second side 3101b of the first support 3101. Figure 9 and Figure 10 After the graphics card assembly 22 and the first support 3101 are assembled, the fixing end 2203 of the fixing plate 2201 is in contact with the first connecting plate 3102. Then, fasteners such as screws can be used to fasten the fixing end 2203 to the first connecting plate 3102.

[0046] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first bracket 31 also includes a second connecting plate 3104. The surface of the second connecting plate 3104 is perpendicular to the first side surface 3101a of the first support portion 3101, and the second connecting plate 3104 is connected to the first support portion 3101. Figure 4 As shown, L is the extension line of the opening direction of the connector 3103, and the angle α between the extension line L and the surface of the second connecting plate 3104 is an acute angle. The first support part 3101 is installed in the chassis 10 through the second connecting plate 3104. In this embodiment, the second connecting plate 3104 is fixed to the top cover plate 101. On one side of the cooling fan 2205 of the graphics card assembly 22, the angle β between the extension line L and the motherboard 21 is an obtuse angle. When the graphics card assembly 22 is installed in the first support part 3101, the air intake surface of the cooling fan 2205 is almost parallel to the extension line L. Therefore, there is an angle β between the air intake surface of the cooling fan 2205 and the motherboard 21. Figure 1 As shown, the included angle β helps the cooling fan 2205 absorb cool air from the air inlet 1021 of the bottom cover plate 102 and exhaust the heat generated by the graphics card from the exhaust port 1011 of the top cover plate 101, achieving efficient heat dissipation.

[0047] In some embodiments, the included angle β is 135°±15°, and this angle range provides relatively good heat dissipation in this embodiment.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting plate 2201 of the graphics card assembly 22 has at least one connection port 2204 on one side, including but not limited to HDMI, VGA or DVI interfaces. Correspondingly, in some embodiments, the first support portion 3101 has a reserved opening 3107, through which the connection port 2204 can be exposed.

[0049] To facilitate connection of display devices (such as monitors) to the connection port 2204, the mounting plate 2201 of the graphics card assembly 22 needs to be as close as possible to the side panel of the chassis 10. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support 31 further includes a second support portion 3105 and a third support portion 3106 located between and connected to the first support portion 3101 and the second support portion 3105. The first support portion 3101 and the third support portion 3106 are perpendicular to each other, the second support portion 3105 and the third support portion 3106 are perpendicular to each other, and the first support portion 3101 and the second support portion 3105 are located on both sides of the third support portion 3106 and are parallel to each other. Figure 3 As shown, the third support 3106 allows the first support 3101 to be closer to the side cover 103a of the chassis 10. Further, as... Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the first bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the top cover plate 101. The inner side of the top cover plate 101 is provided with bolts 1012, and a gap is reserved between the bolt cap and the top cover plate 101. The second connecting plate 3104 is provided with a notch 3104a, which can be selectively inserted into the gap. Tightening the bolts 1012 will fix the second connecting plate 3104 to the top cover plate 101.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the misaligned mounting bracket further includes a second support 32, which includes a support plate 3201. The first end of the support plate 3201 is fixed to the side cover plate 103. A tray 3202 is provided on the side of the support plate 3201 facing the graphics card assembly 22, and a baffle 3203 is provided on the side of the tray 3202 facing away from the first end of the support plate 3201. The tray 3202 and the baffle 3203 form a support area in which the graphics card assembly 22 is placed.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the side cover plate 103 is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes 1031, and the support plate 3201 is connected to the adjustment holes 1031 by screws. The support plate 3201 can be selectively connected to different adjustment holes 1031 to adapt to different sizes of graphics card components 22.

[0052] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the tray 3202 can extend and retract along the length of the support plate 3201, which also serves to adapt to different graphics card components 22 sizes. In this embodiment, the support plate 3201 is provided with a groove 3204 along its length, and the tray 3202 is provided with a slider 3205, which can slide in the groove 3204. The slider 3205 is provided with a screw, and after the position of the tray 3202 on the support plate 3201 is determined, the bolt 1012 is tightened to secure the tray 3202 to the support plate 3201.

[0053] Generally, the graphics card assembly 22 is roughly cuboid in shape. Because the graphics card assembly 22 is angled within the chassis 10, therefore, Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the angle γ between the extension line L of the opening direction of the connector 3103 and the surface of the support plate 3201 is 90°. That is, the extension line L is perpendicular to the surface of the support plate 3201. In this embodiment, both the support plate 3202 and the baffle 3203 of the second bracket 32 ​​can provide support for the graphics card assembly 22.

[0054] The above descriptions are merely examples of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
