Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical component technology, and in particular to an easy-to-remove cover plate chassis. Background Technology

[0002] The chassis is a crucial component of any device. Firstly, it provides space for the power supply, motherboard, various expansion cards, floppy disk drives, optical disk drives, hard disk drives, and other storage devices. These components are securely held together internally by supports, brackets, screws, clips, and other connectors, forming a compact whole. The internal electronic components require frequent maintenance during long-term use, especially in the industrial computer field. The ease of disassembly and reassembly of the chassis is a key indicator of its performance. Existing chassis often only have a large bend on the top cover to cover the bottom shell, with side mounting brackets fixed to the bottom shell via the top cover. Sometimes, the mounting brackets must be removed first, making disassembly of the cover rather cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application discloses an easy-to-remove cover chassis to solve the technical problem that the disassembly process of existing chassis in the related art is relatively cumbersome.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides an easily detachable cover chassis, including a chassis body and a cover plate that matches the chassis body. The cover plate is detachably connected to the chassis body. The cover plate includes a front panel that matches the open surface of the chassis body, two first side panels that match two opposite sides of the chassis body, and a second side panel that matches the front of the chassis body. The length of the first side panel is less than the length of the front panel, such that the first side panel and the front panel together define a notch. A fixing member is provided on the side of the chassis body corresponding to the position of the notch. When the cover plate completely covers the chassis body, the first side panel abuts against the fixing member.

[0006] Preferably, the first side plate and the second side plate are bent at 90° relative to the panel.

[0007] Preferably, the first side plate is bent toward the second side plate at the contact position with the second side plate and a connecting plate is provided thereon. The second side plate is provided with a cutting part corresponding to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate abuts against the cutting part.

[0008] Preferably, the housing is provided with connecting screw holes corresponding to the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing plate and an extension plate. The fixing plate is threaded to the chassis, the extension plate is set at 90° to the fixing plate, and the extension plate is provided with mounting holes.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the fixing plate is the same as the thickness of the first side plate.

[0011] Preferably, the expansion plate is provided with a hanging ear, which is fixed on the mounting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the side opposite to the second side panel when the cover completely covers the box is defined as the back side, and the end of the back side is bent at 90° toward the inside of the box with a support plate.

[0013] Preferably, the back side is provided with multiple wiring holes and heat dissipation holes.

[0014] Preferably, the housing is provided with an installation plate, and the installation plate is provided with a gap between it and the bottom of the housing.

[0015] The technical solution adopted in this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides an easy-to-disassemble cover chassis, including a chassis body and a cover plate that matches the chassis body. The cover plate is detachably connected to the chassis body. The cover plate includes a front panel that matches the open surface of the chassis body, two first side panels that match two opposite sides of the chassis body, and a second side panel that matches the front of the chassis body. The length of the first side panel is less than the length of the front panel, so that the first side panel and the front panel define a notch. A fixing member is provided on the side of the chassis body at the position corresponding to the notch. When the cover plate completely covers the chassis body, the first side panel abuts against the fixing member. Using the notch, most of the fixing members (used for connecting the mounting ears) required by the chassis are fixed to the chassis body. The notch corresponds strictly to the first side panel, realizing precise positioning and quick engagement when installing the cover plate. The cover plate has no other connection relationship with other parts on the chassis body. When it is necessary to open the cover plate to replace the internal core components, only the screws fixing the cover plate need to be removed, which is convenient for disassembly and saves time.

[0017] 2. A connecting plate is provided on the first side plate at the contact position with the second side plate, bent towards the second side plate. The second side plate is provided with a cutting part corresponding to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate abuts against the cutting part. The abutting cooperation between the connecting plate and the cutting part enhances the connection stability between the first side plate and the second side plate and avoids deformation of the cover plate under force. When disassembling, the bent connecting plate can serve as a fulcrum for applying force, making it easier for the user to pry the cover plate, further optimizing the convenience of operation. At the same time, it can prevent the cover plate from shifting during assembly and improve the assembly accuracy.

[0018] 3. The support plate bent at the rear end extends into the box to enhance the support of the cover plate to the back of the box and prevent the cover plate from deforming due to its own weight or external force; when disassembling, the support plate can guide the cover plate to move along a fixed track to avoid jamming.

[0019] 4. A gap is maintained between the mounting plate and the bottom of the enclosure to form a bottom airflow channel and improve heat dissipation efficiency; after removing the cover, the mounting plate (such as the motherboard) can be directly accessed from the top without removing the entire hardware inside the enclosure, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0033] Most existing quick-release cover chassis use either snap-fit ​​connections or traditional screw connections when removing the cover. The former has insufficient structural strength, especially poor compatibility with metal covers; the latter is too cumbersome to disassemble, and most of them simply bend the cover to cover it, requiring connection with other components on the chassis, increasing maintenance costs.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a detailed description of an easy-to-remove cover chassis 1 through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0035] Please combine Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an easily detachable cover chassis 1, including a chassis 10 and a cover 11 that matches the chassis 10. The cover 11 is detachably connected to the chassis 10. The cover 11 includes a panel 110 that matches the open surface 100 of the chassis 10, two first side panels 111 that match the two opposite sides 101 of the chassis 10, and a second side panel 112 that matches the front side 102 of the chassis 10. The length of the first side panel 111 is less than the length of the panel 110, so that the first side panel 111 and the panel 110 together define a notch 113. A fixing member 103 is provided on the side 101 of the chassis 10 at the position corresponding to the notch 113. When the cover 11 completely covers the chassis 10, the first side panel 111 abuts against the fixing member 103.

[0036] Understandably, by using the notch 113, most of the mounting brackets 103 (used to connect the mounting ears 1032) required by the chassis are fixed to the chassis 10. The notch 113 corresponds precisely to the first side panel 111, achieving precise positioning and quick engagement of the cover 11 during installation. The cover 11 has no other connection with the other components on the chassis 10. When it is necessary to open the cover 11 to replace the internal core components, it is only necessary to remove the screws that fix the cover 11, which is convenient for disassembly and saves time.

[0037] Furthermore, the first side panel 111 and the second side panel 112 are bent at 90° relative to the panel.

[0038] Understandably, the first side panel 111, the second side panel 112, and the panel 110 are bent at 90° to form an integrated L-shaped structure for the cover 11, which improves the structural strength of the cover 11 and ensures a tight fit with the edge of the box 10, preventing misalignment during assembly and simplifying the installation process.

[0039] Furthermore, the first side plate 111 is bent towards the second side plate 112 at the contact position with the second side plate 112 and a connecting plate 1110 is provided. The second side plate 112 is provided with a cutting part 1120 corresponding to the connecting plate 1110, and the connecting plate 1110 abuts against the cutting part 1120.

[0040] Specifically, the connecting plate 1110 abuts against but is not connected to the cutting part 1120, reducing the welding process and resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Understandably, the abutting cooperation between the connecting plate 1110 and the cutting part 1120 enhances the connection stability between the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112, preventing the cover plate 11 from deforming under stress. The bent connecting plate 1110 can serve as a fulcrum for applying force during disassembly, making it easier for users to pry the cover plate 11, further optimizing the ease of operation. At the same time, it can prevent the cover plate 11 from shifting during assembly, improving assembly accuracy.

[0041] Furthermore, the housing 10 is provided with connecting screw holes 104 corresponding to the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112.

[0042] Understandably, connecting screw holes 104 are provided at corresponding positions on the housing 10 and the side panel to achieve multi-point fixation of the cover plate 11 and ensure overall sturdiness.

[0043] Furthermore, the fastener 103 includes a fixed plate 1030 and an expansion plate 1031. The fixed plate 1030 is threadedly connected to the chassis, and the expansion plate 1031 is set at 90° to the fixed plate 1030. The expansion plate 1031 is provided with mounting holes 1033.

[0044] Understandably, the fastener 103 adopts a 90° vertical design with a fixed plate 1030 and an extension plate 1031. The fixed plate 1030 provides lateral locking force, while the extension plate 1031 supports the addition of extension accessories (such as handles and hooks) through the mounting holes 1033. Users can customize disassembly auxiliary tools to improve operational flexibility.

[0045] Furthermore, the thickness of the fixing plate 1030 is the same as the thickness of the first side plate 111; the thickness of the fixing plate 1030 is consistent with that of the first side plate 111, ensuring that the first side plate 111 can fully abut against the fixing plate 1030, and the first side plate 111 will not slide excessively, ensuring that the outer surface of the fixing part 103 is flush with the side plate after installation, avoiding the protruding structure from interfering with the operation of disassembly tools, while maintaining the flatness of the chassis appearance.

[0046] Furthermore, the expansion plate 1031 is provided with a hanging ear 1032, which is fixed to the mounting hole 1033.

[0047] Specifically, in industrial servers, the mounting ears 1032 are important components. The mounting ears are usually equipped with fault alarm devices, positioning devices, I / O interfaces and power on / off buttons. In this solution, the mounting ears are not connected to the cover plate, which improves the ease of opening the cover plate 11 and facilitates maintenance.

[0048] Furthermore, the side opposite to the second side panel 112 when the cover plate 11 completely covers the box body 10 is defined as the back side 105, and the end of the back side 105 is bent at 90° toward the inside of the box body with a support plate 1050.

[0049] Understandably, the support plate 1050, which is bent at the end of the back 105, extends into the interior of the box 10 to enhance the support force of the cover plate 11 on the back of the box 10 and prevent the cover plate 11 from deforming due to its own weight or external force. When disassembling, the support plate 1050 can guide the cover plate 11 to move along a fixed track to avoid jamming.

[0050] Furthermore, the back panel 105 is provided with multiple wiring holes 1051 and heat dissipation holes 1052.

[0051] Specifically, the wiring hole 1051 and the heat dissipation hole 1052 are integrated on the back of the cover plate 105 to avoid opening holes in the main body of the enclosure 10 and reducing the structural strength; after removing the cover plate 11, all interfaces and heat dissipation channels can be directly exposed, which facilitates cable management and heat dissipation system maintenance.

[0052] Furthermore, an installation plate 106 is provided inside the housing 10, and a gap 1060 is provided between the installation plate 106 and the bottom of the housing 10.

[0053] Understandably, a gap 1060 is maintained between the mounting plate 106 and the bottom of the enclosure 10 to form a bottom air duct and improve heat dissipation efficiency; after removing the cover plate 11, the mounting plate 106 (such as the motherboard) can be directly accessed from the top without removing the entire hardware inside the enclosure, simplifying the maintenance process.

The second side plate is provided with a cutting part corresponding to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate abuts against the cutting part. The abutting cooperation between the connecting plate and the cutting part enhances the connection stability between the first side plate and the second side plate and avoids deformation of the cover plate under force. When disassembling, the bent connecting plate can serve as a fulcrum for applying force, making it easier for the user to pry the cover plate, further optimizing the convenience of operation. At the same time, it can prevent the cover plate from shifting during assembly and improve the assembly accuracy.

[0057] 3. The support plate bent at the rear end extends into the box to enhance the support of the cover plate to the back of the box and prevent the cover plate from deforming due to its own weight or external force; when disassembling, the support plate can guide the cover plate to move along a fixed track to avoid jamming.

[0058] 4.
