Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a baffle structure that can prevent the baffle from deforming when bent after installation. Background Technology

[0002] Existing computer cases typically have a port cover (also called a baffle) on the back panel to secure the input / output ports of expansion cards such as graphics cards and network cards, and to block gaps to maintain electromagnetic and airflow management within the case. These baffles are generally made of L-shaped metal sheets, and during installation, they are only secured to the corresponding slot on the motherboard at the lower end with screws or clips. Because they are only secured at one end, when expansion cards are inserted or removed, or when the case is subjected to external forces, the baffle can easily wobble and deform on the motherboard, affecting port alignment accuracy and potentially causing stress and damage to solder joints or slots.

[0003] To improve stability, existing technologies often involve extending the upper end of the baffle or adding additional hooks to integrate it with the heat dissipation structure above the motherboard (such as heat sinks, heat plates, or heat sinks for electronic components), creating a two-point fixation. However, this approach requires adjustments to the shape, hole positions, or height of the baffle based on the different heat dissipation layouts and dimensions of each motherboard, resulting in the baffle needing to be custom-designed for different specifications and not universally compatible.

[0004] Therefore, while the current solution improves the rigidity and stability of the baffle, it also results in a wide variety of models, increased mold and management costs, and increased burdens on both manufacturers and system integrators. This is a problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0005] In view of the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a baffle structure, which has a limiting component including an extension piece on one side of the plate, and a fixing structure passes through the extension piece to fix the baffle structure to the main board and prevent the baffle from bending and deforming. Utility Model Content

[0007] One objective of this utility model is to provide a baffle structure, which has a limiting component including an extension piece on one side of a plate, and a fixed bracket pre-set on the main board passes through the extension piece to fix the baffle structure to the main board.

[0008] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and effects, this utility model provides a baffle structure disposed on a main board and fixed by a fastener. The baffle structure includes a plate and a limiting component. The limiting component includes a first extension piece and a second extension piece. The first extension piece is disposed on a back side of the plate, and the second extension piece is disposed on the back side of the plate and abuts against a top surface of the main board. The fastener passes through and engages the main board, the second extension piece, and the first extension piece to provide a structure that prevents the baffle from bending and deforming after being installed on the main board.

[0009] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and effects, this utility model provides a baffle structure disposed on a motherboard. A fixed bracket is disposed on a top surface of the motherboard. The baffle structure includes: a plate, a limiting component, and a fixed bracket. The limiting component includes a first extension piece and a second extension piece.

The opposite side limiting components include: a third extension piece disposed on the back side of the plate corresponding to the first extension piece; and a fourth extension piece disposed on the back side of the plate corresponding to the second extension piece. The fourth extension piece abuts against the top surface of the main board.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, a pair of side fasteners are further included, which pass through and are connected to the main board, the fourth extension piece, and the third extension piece.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, a pair of side positioning members are further included, the side positioning members and the side fixing members clamping the third extension piece, the fourth extension piece and the main board.

[0023] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that it provides a baffle structure, which has a limiting component containing multiple extension pieces on one side of the plate, and is fixed to the motherboard by a fixing structure passing through the multiple extension pieces. By using the design of multiple extension pieces with a certain distance, the baffle is prevented from shaking at a large angle or even bending and deforming after installation. This solves the problem in the prior art that it must be combined with the heat dissipation structure above the motherboard to form a two-point fixation, which leads to the baffle structure needing to be customized for different specifications, thus increasing the manufacturing cost.
