Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of notebook computer technology, and more specifically, to an all-in-one computer with an easily detachable I / O shield. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in all-in-one computers on the market, with the continuous increase in the types and number of interfaces, the input / output (I / O) interfaces on the motherboard often need to reserve a dedicated panel area so that users can connect external devices.
[0003] However, traditional all-in-one computers require screws and other fasteners to connect the I / O shield to the chassis or mid-frame. This not only makes the assembly process cumbersome but also demands extremely high precision in tooling and production lines. Furthermore, during on-site maintenance or upgrades, the disassembly and assembly process is not only time-consuming but also prone to damage to the chassis or loosening of the shield due to lost screws or damaged clips.
[0004] In particular, I / O shields for motherboards are typically made of metal. If screws are used for fastening, the screws have a fixed length to be inserted into the frame, so sufficient space must be provided for the screw length. This method of fastening will inevitably increase the overall thickness of the device (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown). Therefore, when disassembly or replacement is performed frequently, screws are prone to stripping or being lost, greatly increasing the difficulty of operation. Furthermore, using screws for fixing not only increases labor and material costs, but also hinders the design concept of convenience and slimness. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an all-in-one computer with an easy-to-disassemble and assemble I / O shield, so as to solve the above problems.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following solution: This application provides an all-in-one computer with an easily detachable I / O baffle, including a plastic frame with a motherboard and a display screen mounted on the plastic frame; the plastic frame has an I / O baffle on its back side away from the display screen, and the I / O baffle is detachably mounted at the assembly position of the plastic frame; the I / O baffle has a plurality of fastening parts on its front side facing the plastic frame, and the plastic frame has corresponding fastening slots that are adapted to engage with the fastening parts; the I / O baffle is configured such that, after being pushed from the side, its fastening parts can be engaged into their respective fastening slots; the plastic frame has corresponding spring-loaded fasteners that confine the I / O baffle at the assembly position.
[0007] As a further improvement, the snap fastener is configured as a horizontally extending elastic hook, which is integrally formed on the side edge of the plastic frame and extends elastically inward.
[0008] As a further improvement, the elastic hook has a pressure position that is bent and deformed during the assembly of the IO baffle, and an initial position that automatically resets after the IO baffle is assembled; and in the initial position, the elastic hook abuts against the IO baffle laterally to prevent it from detaching from the plastic frame.
[0009] As a further improvement, after the IO baffle is assembled, the back of the plastic frame is fitted to the front of the IO baffle to reduce the assembly thickness.
[0010] As a further improvement, the IO baffle is a metal part, and the fastening part is integrally stamped.
[0011] As a further improvement, the IO baffle is in the shape of a rectangular plate, which is aligned and installed at the lower edge of the plastic frame.
[0012] As a further improvement, the fastening part protrudes obliquely outward and extends horizontally to form a fitting piece, which can be pushed laterally into the fastening groove.
[0013] As a further improvement, at least two sets of fastening parts are provided, one above the other, spaced apart from each other, and the number of fastening parts in the upper row is greater than the number of fastening parts in the lower row.
[0014] As a further improvement, there are seven fastening parts at the top and three fastening parts at the bottom, and the fastening parts at the top and bottom are arranged in an alternating pattern.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: This application discloses an all-in-one computer with an easily detachable I / O shield. The I / O shield uses a side-push snap-fit mechanism, eliminating the need for screws and tools. Users or assemblers can simply apply force to the side of the shield to snap it on or detach it, significantly reducing the difficulty and time cost of assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the snap-fit positioning of the I / O shield relies entirely on the pre-set snap-fit slots and spring-loaded parts on the plastic frame, eliminating the need for additional tooling or screws. This simplifies the assembly process and reduces labor and equipment investment. When it is necessary to replace the motherboard or add / replace I / O interfaces, there is no need to disassemble the entire back cover or other internal components. Simply push out the I / O shield from the back side for direct operation, making maintenance and upgrades faster and safer. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0019] Example Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an all-in-one computer with an easily detachable I / O baffle, including a plastic frame 1 with a motherboard (not shown) and a display screen 2 disposed on the plastic frame 1 (the display screen 2 is electrically connected to the motherboard). An I / O baffle 3 is correspondingly provided on the back side of the plastic frame 1 away from the display screen 2, and the I / O baffle 3 is detachably disposed at the assembly position of the plastic frame 1. The I / O baffle 3 has multiple fastening parts 4 correspondingly on its front side facing the plastic frame 1, and the plastic frame 1 has corresponding snap-fit grooves 5 that engage with the fastening parts 4. The I / O baffle 3 is configured such that, after being pushed laterally, its fastening parts 4 can be engaged and mated into their respective snap-fit grooves 5. The plastic frame has corresponding spring-loaded fasteners 6 that confine the I / O baffle 3 at the assembly position.
[0020] The all-in-one computer described above features an I / O shield 3 that uses a side-push locking mechanism, eliminating the need for screws and tools. Users or assemblers can simply apply force to the side of the shield to fasten or detach it, significantly reducing the difficulty and time cost of assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the locking and positioning of the I / O shield 3 relies entirely on the pre-set locking slots 5 and spring-loaded parts 6 on the plastic frame 1, eliminating the need for additional tooling or screws. This simplifies the assembly process and reduces labor and equipment investment. When it is necessary to replace the motherboard or add / replace I / O interfaces, there is no need to disassemble the entire back cover or other internal components. Simply push out the I / O shield 3 from the back side for direct operation, making maintenance and upgrades faster and safer.
[0021] It's worth mentioning that multiple latching parts 4 correspond to their respective latching slots 5, and with the cooperation of the spring-loaded latches 6 on the plastic frame 1, this ensures that the I / O shield 3 will not loosen or fall off during normal use, and maintains good positioning when plugging in or unplugging peripherals, balancing both sturdiness and mobility. Furthermore, the latching parts 4 ensure a tight fit between the shield edge and the frame, preventing foreign objects and dust from entering the internal components. At the same time, eliminating the use of screws and other fasteners significantly reduces the overall assembly thickness, making disassembly and maintenance more efficient and convenient.
[0022] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the spring-loaded part 6 is constructed as a horizontally extending elastic hook, which is integrally formed on the side edge of the plastic frame 1 and extends elastically inward. During assembly, the IO baffle 3 is pressed down directly by the plate body to make the IO baffle 3 fit against the plastic frame 1. At this time, the fastening part 4 on the baffle is directly opposite to the fastening groove 5. After the IO baffle 3 is pushed in laterally, the fastening part 4 is fitted into the fastening groove 5 to achieve a fastening fit. After the assembly is in place, the pressure on the elastic hook is released, so that the elastic hook automatically resets and abuts against the IO baffle 3 laterally, limiting it to the assembly position.
[0023] Specifically, the elastic hook has a pressure position where it bends and deforms during the assembly of the IO baffle 3, and an initial position where it automatically resets after the IO baffle 3 is assembled. In the initial position, the elastic hook abuts against the IO baffle 3 laterally to prevent it from detaching from the plastic frame 1.
[0024] During the insertion of the IO baffle 3, the spring hook bends inward under pressure to the compressed position, fully releasing the assembly space and ensuring that the baffle is inserted along the correct track. This eliminates the need for fine-tuning and reduces the risk of jamming or being too tight to insert. After assembly, the spring hook automatically returns to its initial position, making lateral contact with and pressing the side edge of the IO baffle 3 to form a continuous lateral locking force. This ensures that the IO baffle 3 is securely self-locking, preventing it from loosening due to vibration, movement, or impacts from plugging or unplugging peripherals.
[0025] It should be noted that after the IO baffle 3 is assembled, the back side of the plastic frame 1 and the front side of the IO baffle 3 are fitted together to reduce the assembly thickness. Obviously, the IO baffle 3 fits tightly with the frame, avoiding the traditional protruding or overlapping structure, thereby effectively compressing the overall thickness and facilitating the design of a thinner and lighter product.
[0026] Preferably, the IO baffle 3 is a hardware component, and the fastening part 4 is integrally stamped. It is understood that hardware materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy have excellent rigidity and wear resistance. The integrally stamped fastening part 4 has a robust structure, is not easily deformed or fatigued, and greatly improves the service life and reliability of the baffle.
[0027] Preferably, the I / O baffle 3 is a rectangular plate, which is aligned and installed along the lower edge of the plastic frame 1. Thus, the rectangular plate shape is flush with the lower edge of the frame, facilitating rapid positioning and alignment and reducing secondary calibration steps. Furthermore, arranging all I / O interfaces along the lower edge of the chassis frees up more space on the back of the chassis for heat dissipation or other functional modules, improving internal space utilization.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fastening part 4 protrudes obliquely outward and extends horizontally to form a fitting piece 7, which can be pushed laterally into the fastening groove 5. Due to the obliquely protruding shape of the fitting piece 7, it can be actively guided into the fastening groove 5 during the lateral pushing process, reducing the alignment difficulty during assembly and ensuring that the baffle can be smoothly inserted along a predetermined trajectory.
[0029] The device includes at least two sets of interlocking fasteners 4 spaced apart from each other, with the upper row of fasteners 4 having more fasteners 4 than the lower row. The two rows of fasteners 4 are distributed at different heights, forming a double-point locking between the baffle and the middle frame, dispersing lateral and vertical forces, and providing better resistance to external impacts and vibrations compared to a single-row fastening system.
[0030] Furthermore, there are seven upper fastening points 4 and three lower fastening points 4, arranged in a staggered pattern. This staggered layout ensures that the fastening points are evenly distributed in both vertical and horizontal directions, allowing lateral and torsional forces to be absorbed and transmitted at multiple points. This prevents excessive stress at a single point from causing deformation or failure of the fasteners, thus improving the overall structure's vibration and detachment resistance. In particular, the seven points in the upper row provide strong initial locking force, while the three points in the lower row act as safety hooks to prevent bottom slippage. The staggered arrangement forms a closed-loop angle, effectively keeping the baffle in place even under vertical impact or accidental pulling by personnel, preventing it from easily loosening.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are within the protection scope of this utility model.
