Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer technology, specifically to a PCI battery cover for powering a computer motherboard. Background Technology

[0002] In computer motherboards, the Real-Time Clock (RTC) module and CMOS chip require continuous low-voltage power to maintain system time accuracy and BIOS configuration (such as boot order and hardware compatibility parameters). Currently, the industry commonly uses CR2032 coin cell batteries as the power supply solution. These coin cell batteries have a nominal voltage of 3V and a capacity of 220-240mAh, and have become standard equipment on computer motherboards due to their small size and simple structure. However, the nominal lifespan of these coin cell batteries is usually only 3-5 years, and they are not rechargeable. After the expiration date, users usually need to manually disassemble the computer case to replace them. Non-professional users are prone to accidentally touching motherboard components and causing damage. It is also inconvenient to purchase special CR2032 batteries. Utility Model Content

[0020] Reference Figure 1-5 A PCI battery bracket for powering a computer motherboard includes a mounting bracket 100, a battery simulator 1 for simulating a button cell battery, and a battery pack 200 for outputting electrical energy. The mounting bracket 100 is used to mount the PCI battery bracket on a computer host. The mounting bracket 100 is provided with a battery holder 2. The battery holder 2 is provided with a battery mounting position for mounting the battery pack 200. The battery mounting position is provided with a positive terminal 21 for electrically connecting the positive terminal of the battery pack 200 and a negative terminal 22 for electrically connecting the negative terminal of the battery pack 200. The battery pack 200 includes dry cell batteries 5.

[0021] Furthermore, the battery simulation component 1 is used to simulate the installation of a button battery in the motherboard battery slot. The battery simulation component 1 is provided with a positive conductive terminal 11 for simulating the positive terminal of the button battery and a negative conductive terminal 12 for simulating the negative terminal of the button battery. The outline of the battery simulation component 1 is consistent with the standard shape of the CR2032 button battery, so that it can be well adapted to the motherboard battery slot of the computer motherboard, allowing the battery simulation component 1 to effectively simulate the installation state of the button battery and ensure that the positive conductive terminal 11 and the negative conductive terminal 12 are in stable contact with the corresponding contacts of the motherboard battery slot.

[0022] Furthermore, the positive terminal 21 and the positive conductive terminal 11 are electrically connected via a positive conductive wire 3, and the negative conductive terminal 12 and the negative terminal 22 are electrically connected via a negative conductive wire 4. This allows the electrical energy output from the battery pack 200 to be transmitted to the positive conductive terminal 11 and the negative conductive terminal 12 of the battery simulation component 1 via the positive conductive wire 3 and the negative conductive wire 4. The positive conductive terminal 11 and the negative conductive terminal 12 of the battery simulation component 1 then connect to the corresponding contacts of the motherboard battery slot, achieving the purpose of continuously supplying power to the motherboard. Additionally, both the positive conductive wire 3 and the negative conductive wire 4 are wires composed of metal conductors and sheaths, with the sheath of the positive conductive wire 3 and the negative conductive wire 4 being independently configured. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the sheaths of the positive conductive wire 3 and the negative conductive wire 4 can be integrally formed and connected, thus forming an integrally formed connecting wire between the positive conductive wire 3 and the negative conductive wire 4.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the dry cell battery 5 consists of two cells connected in series to output a 3V voltage. This allows the battery pack 200 to simulate a 3V voltage output, consistent with the rated voltage of a standard CR2032 button cell battery, ensuring proper recognition and stable operation of the computer motherboard. Furthermore, the dry cell battery 5 is an AA battery, a AAA battery, or other rechargeable batteries, preferably a AAA battery, which is smaller in size, occupies less space in the battery holder 2, and is easier to install inside a small computer case. In other embodiments, when a rechargeable battery is used, a charging circuit module is simply provided on the mounting base 7. The power input terminal of the charging circuit module is connected to a USB interface or a Type-C interface mounted on the mounting base 6. The mounting base 6 has a first opening corresponding to the USB interface or a second opening corresponding to the Type-C interface. The power output terminal of the charging circuit module is connected to the positive terminal 21 and the negative terminal 22. After the power cable connecting to an external power source is connected to the USB interface or the Type-C interface, the charging circuit module converts the externally input 5V voltage into a 3V voltage and charges the battery pack 200, thereby achieving charging.

[0024] In this embodiment, the battery mounting position includes two battery mounting slots 201, each of which is used to accommodate one dry cell battery 5. The battery mounting position is provided with a conductive element 23 for electrically connecting the two dry cell batteries 5. The two ends of the conductive element 23 extend into the two battery mounting slots 201 respectively. One end of the conductive element 23 is in contact with the positive terminal of one dry cell battery 5, and the other end is in contact with the negative terminal of the other dry cell battery 5, thereby connecting the two dry cell batteries 5 in series to form a 3V output voltage. The negative terminal of one dry cell battery 5 is connected to the negative terminal 22 of the battery mounting position, and the positive terminal of the other dry cell battery 5 is connected to the positive terminal 21, so that the electrical energy output by the battery pack 200 can be transmitted to the positive conductive terminal 11 and the negative conductive terminal 12 of the battery simulation component 1, thereby providing a continuous and stable 3V power supply to the computer motherboard.

[0025] In this embodiment, the battery holder 2 is integrally formed with a battery anti-detachment structure to prevent the battery pack 200 from slipping off the battery mounting position, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the battery pack 200 on the battery holder 2. Furthermore, the battery anti-detachment structure includes multiple elastic fasteners 202 located on both sides of the battery mounting position. The elastic fasteners 202 clamp the outer wall of the battery pack 200 through elastic deformation, preventing it from loosening during vibration or movement. Furthermore, the elastic fasteners 202 are made of elastic plastic material and are integrally injection molded with the battery holder 2, resulting in a compact structure and high reliability. When the dry cell battery 5 is inserted into the battery mounting slot 201, the elastic fasteners 202 automatically spring back and lock the position of the dry cell battery 5, ensuring a stable connection of the dry cell battery 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 includes a mounting base 6 and a mating base 7. The mounting base 6 is used to mount on the computer host chassis, and the mating base 7 is mated on the mounting base 6. The battery holder 2 is mounted on the mating base 7 by bolt connection.

[0027] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 100 also includes an adjustment component mounted on the mounting base 6. The adjustment component is provided with a connecting slide groove 600. One end of the mating base 7 is slidably engaged in the connecting slide groove 600. The mating base 7 can slide and adjust its position along the connecting slide groove 600. The mating base 7 is provided with a locking screw 8 to lock the mating base 7 onto the adjustment component. By adjusting the relative position of the mating base 7 in the connecting slide groove 600, the installation position of the battery holder 2 in the computer case can be flexibly adjusted, thereby reducing the impact of the PCI battery cover on other components inside the computer host and improving the compatibility and space utilization of the overall assembly.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a first connecting seat 9 and a second connecting seat 10. The first connecting seat 9 is mounted on the mounting base 6 using a first mounting bolt 300, and the second connecting seat 10 is mounted on the first connecting seat 9 using a second mounting bolt 400. The connecting groove 600 is located between the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 10. Specifically, both the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 10 are provided with an adapter groove, and the adapter groove of the first connecting seat 9 and the adapter groove of the second connecting seat 10 are combined to form the connecting groove 600.

[0029] In this embodiment, the front side of the mating base 7 is used to install the battery holder 2, and the back side of the mating base 7 is provided with a supporting reinforcing rib 71. The supporting reinforcing rib 71 is integrally formed with the mating base 7, and the supporting reinforcing rib 71 is used to improve the structural stability of the mating base 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, the portions of the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 10 with the adapting slide grooves both serve as mating limiting portions. Each mating limiting portion has a locking elongated hole 500 communicating with the adapting slide groove. The length of the locking elongated hole 500 extends along the sliding direction of the mating base 7. The screw 8 passes through the locking elongated hole 500 of one of the mating limiting portions and is threaded into the threaded hole of the mating base 7. After loosening the locking screw 8, the locking screw 8 can move and adjust its position together with the mating base 7. When the locking screw 8 is tightened, the locking screw 8 and the mating base 7 together clamp one of the mating limiting portions, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the position of the mating base 7 on the adjusting assembly. Furthermore, since the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 10 have adapting slide grooves and locking elongated holes 500, it is beneficial for the mating base 7 to change its orientation relative to the mounting base 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, two limiting protrusions 72 are provided on both the front and back sides of the mating base 7. The two limiting protrusions 72 on the front side of the mating base 7 and the front side of the mating base 7 together form a first limiting groove. The two limiting protrusions 72 on the back side of the mating base 7 and the back side of the mating base 7 together form a second limiting groove. The two mating limiting parts are respectively engaged in the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, realizing the sliding connection and limiting guidance between the mating base 7 and the adjustment component, so that the mating base 7 can only slide along the direction of the connecting groove 600.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking screw 8 is a hand-tightening screw, which can be tightened and loosened without the aid of tools, making it convenient for users to quickly tighten or loosen the locking screw 8 to adjust the position of the mating base 7.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting base 6 is provided with at least two connecting ears 61 integrally formed with the mounting base 6, and the connecting ears 61 are provided with connecting screw holes 62. The first connecting seat 9 is provided with a mounting through hole 91 corresponding to the connecting screw hole 62. The screw section of the first mounting bolt 300 passes through the mounting through hole 91 and is threaded into the connecting screw hole 62, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the first connecting seat 9 and the mounting base 6. In addition, in some embodiments of the mounting bracket 100 without adjustment components, the mating base 7 can be directly fixed to the mounting base 6 by the first mounting bolt 300.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second connecting seat 10 is provided with a second through hole 101, and the first connecting seat 9 is provided with a second screw hole 92 corresponding to the second through hole 101. The screw end of the second mounting bolt 400 passes through the second through hole 101 and is threaded into the second screw hole 92 on the first connecting seat 9, thereby achieving the combination and fixation between them.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting base 6 is a PCI bracket, which allows the mounting base 6 to be directly installed on the PCI mounting slot of the computer host chassis, thus completing the installation and fixation of the PCI battery bracket on the computer host. This installation method allows the PCI battery bracket to be more reasonably adapted to the structure of the computer host chassis, improves the versatility of the PCI battery bracket, and facilitates quick assembly by users on different computer host chassis.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
