Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCIe slot dustproof technology, specifically a motherboard PCIe slot dustproof cover. Background Technology
[0002] PCI slots are the main expansion slots on a motherboard. By inserting different expansion cards, almost all the functions a computer can perform can be obtained, making them truly "universal" expansion slots. During operation, in order to ensure heat dissipation, the computer motherboard needs to introduce airflow into the case. Inevitably, dust will adhere to the motherboard and also enter the PCIe slots. If dust accumulates in the PCIe slots for a long time, it will affect the electrical connection of the expansion components during subsequent expansions. Therefore, dust prevention for PCIe slots is essential.
[0003] PCIe slots generally come in the following specifications: x16 slots, x8 slots, x4 slots, and x1 slots. Nowadays, in order to increase the expansion capabilities of motherboards, motherboards are generally equipped with multiple PCIe slots of different specifications. The length of each specification of slot is different, and usually multiple dust covers are required. In order to avoid this situation, a dust cover that can be adapted to different specifications of PCIe slots is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0030] This utility model provides an improved dustproof cover for a motherboard PCIe slot. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a motherboard PCIe slot dust cover includes:
[0032] Two end caps 1, and multiple U-shaped plates 2 are arranged between the two end caps 1. A rubber membrane 3 is fixed between each pair of U-shaped plates 2, and the rubber membranes 3 at both ends are fixed to the two end caps 1. Two tensioning components are arranged on the side wall of each U-shaped plate 2, and the two tensioning components are connected to the two adjacent U-shaped plates 2.
[0033] Two rubber pads 11 are fixed to the inner walls of the two end caps 1 respectively.
[0034] Furthermore, the tensioning component includes:
[0035] The first slide 4 and the second slide 5 are both formed on the side wall of the U-shaped plate 2.
[0036] Two damping sliders 9 are respectively slidably disposed in the first slide groove 4 and the second slide groove 5;
[0037] The telescopic assembly is connected to two damping sliders 9.
[0038] Multiple rubber films 3 allow the U-shaped plates 2 to be separated, increasing the distance between the two end caps 1, thus enabling this dustproof device to be compatible with PCIe slots of different specifications.
[0039] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes:
[0040] Connecting rod 6, with sleeves 7 slidably fitted at both ends of connecting rod 6;
[0041] Two connecting blocks 8 are fixed to two sleeves 7 respectively;
[0042] Two springs 12 are fixed at both ends of the connecting rod 6, and the two springs 12 are respectively fixed on the inner walls of the two sleeves 7.
[0043] If the PCIe slot is long enough, the two end caps 1 can be separated from each other. At this time, the sleeve 7 and the connecting rod 6 slide, stretching the spring 12. The distance between the two end caps 1 is further increased so that the dustproof baffle can be adapted to different PCIe slots.
[0044] Furthermore, the side walls of the connecting blocks 8 at both ends are fixed with fixing blocks 10, and the two fixing blocks 10 are respectively fixed to the two end caps 1.
[0045] Furthermore, the multiple connecting blocks 8 and multiple damping sliders 9 in the middle are rotated one-to-one.
[0046] Furthermore, the connecting rod 6 is set at an angle.
[0047] Furthermore, the connecting block 8 above the connecting rod 6 and the damping slider 9 in the first slide groove 4 are rotatably connected, and the connecting block 8 below the connecting rod 6 and the damping slider 9 in the second slide groove 5 are rotatably connected.
[0048] The connection between two adjacent U-shaped plates 2 is achieved through the sleeves 7, connecting blocks 8 and sliders 9 at both ends of the connecting rod 6. The friction between the slider 9 and the first slide groove 4, and between the slider 9 and the second slide groove 5, ensures that the distance between the two U-shaped plates 2 can be adjusted and they can remain fixed, thus preventing them from falling off when dusting shorter PCIe slots.
[0049] Specifically, the working principle is as follows: When using it, hold the two end caps 1 with both hands and keep the two end caps 1 away from each other until the distance between the two end caps 1 meets the length of the PCIe slot. Then, put the two end caps 1 on both ends of the PCIe slot. Through multiple U-shaped plates 2 and rubber film 3, the PCIe slot is protected from dust.
[0050] During the above process, the spacing between the multiple U-shaped plates 2 gradually increases, causing the rubber membrane 3 to unfold. At the same time, the two sliders 9 on the U-shaped plates 2 slide in the first slide groove 4 and the second slide groove 5 respectively, and move closer to each other. During this process, the friction between the sliders 9 and the first slide groove 4 and the sliders 9 and the second slide groove 5 is used to fix the spacing between the U-shaped plates 2. At this time, with the deformation of the rubber pad 11, the fixation of the two end caps 1 and the PCIe slot can be guaranteed.
[0051] If the PCIe slot is long enough, the two end caps 1 can be separated from each other. At this time, the sleeve 7 and the connecting rod 6 slide, stretching the spring 12. The distance between the two end caps 1 is further increased so that the dustproof baffle can be adapted to different PCIe slots.
