Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial control computer equipment, and specifically relates to an expansion network card mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-port industrial PCs are a common product in industrial and network security equipment. However, many motherboards have insufficient network ports, but many motherboards have interfaces for expansion network cards. Existing expansion network card mounting brackets are generally single-layer and cannot be adjusted according to the number of expansion network cards. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides an expansion network card mounting bracket that can adjust the number of layers of the expansion network card mounting bracket according to the number of expansion network cards, thereby facilitating the adaptation to different numbers of expansion network cards.

[0004] This application provides an expansion network card mounting bracket for forming a receiving space within a rack-mounted industrial computer to accommodate an expansion network card. The rack-mounted industrial computer has a bearing surface perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The expansion network card mounting bracket includes multiple tray brackets and a bracket connecting plate. The multiple tray brackets are arranged overlappingly along the direction of gravity. Along the direction of gravity, the tray bracket closest to the bearing surface is a first end bracket, which, together with the bearing surface, forms the receiving space. The bracket connecting plate detachably connects two adjacent tray brackets in the direction of gravity, and the bracket connecting plate and the adjacent tray bracket above it form the receiving space.

[0005] In the above technical solution, by setting a bracket connecting plate to detachably connect two adjacent tray brackets, it is easy to adjust the number of tray bracket layers according to the number of expansion network cards, so that the expansion network card mounting bracket with the above structure can be adapted to rack-mounted industrial control computers with different expansion network card requirements.

[0006] In some embodiments, along a first direction, the bracket connecting plate has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, and the tray bracket has a third end and a fourth end disposed opposite to each other, the first direction being perpendicular to the direction of gravity; along the first direction, the first end extends beyond the third end to form a mounting surface, the mounting surface being used to install the interface of the expansion network card.

[0007] In the above technical solution, by extending the first end beyond the third end to form a mounting surface, the interference of the tray bracket is reduced when installing the interface of the expansion network card. At the same time, it is convenient to stack the interfaces for installing the expansion network card along the direction of gravity, thereby making full use of the space inside the rack-mounted industrial computer. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0008] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the second end is flush with the fourth end.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the second end and the fourth end are flush along the first direction, which makes it easy to install the second end and the fourth end according to the same benchmark, and thus makes it easy to install the tray bracket and the bracket connecting plate on the same mounting wall of the rack-mounted industrial control computer, thereby facilitating the unified installation and removal of the expansion network card.

[0010] In some embodiments, the tray support includes two first walls and a connecting wall. The two first walls are spaced apart along a second direction. The first walls extend along the first direction, and the thickness direction of the first walls is parallel to the second direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the gravity direction are perpendicular to each other. The connecting wall is located between the two first walls along the second direction and connects the two first walls. Along the gravity direction, the side of the first wall away from the connecting wall is connected to the support connecting plate. The two first walls, the connecting wall, and the support connecting plate enclose the receiving space.

The partition wall is connected to the connecting wall and the support connecting plate on both sides in the gravity direction, respectively, to divide the accommodating space into two sub-spaces arranged along the second direction, each sub-space being used to accommodate one of the expansion network cards.

[0013] In the above technical solution, by setting up a partition wall to form two subspaces, the risk of mutual interference between the expansion network cards can be reduced compared to the case where two expansion network cards are installed without separation in the same cavity, thus improving the reliability of the operation of the expansion network cards in the rack-mounted industrial computer.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first wall has a first flange on the side away from the connecting wall, and the partition wall has a second flange on the side away from the connecting wall; the first flange and the second flange of the upper pallet bracket of the two adjacent pallet brackets are detachably connected to the connecting wall of the upper pallet bracket of the two adjacent pallet brackets through the bracket connecting plate.

[0015] In the above technical solution, by setting a first flange, the connection area between the first wall and the adjacent pallet support is increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the first wall and the adjacent pallet support; by setting a second flange, the connection area between the partition wall and the adjacent pallet support is increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the partition wall and the adjacent pallet support, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection between two adjacent pallet supports.

[0017] In the above technical solution, two adjacent tray supports and the connecting plate body are connected by the first connector and the second connector, which is simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0018] In some embodiments, the extended network card mounting bracket further includes a network card tray, which is movably disposed within the subspace along the first direction and corresponds one-to-one with the subspace. The network card tray is used to carry the extended network card.

[0019] In the above technical solution, by movably setting the network card tray in the subspace along the first direction, it is convenient to slide the expansion network card into and out of the subspace through the network card tray, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the expansion network card. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0020] In some embodiments, the network card tray includes a support portion and a mounting portion. The support portion extends along the first direction and its thickness direction is parallel to the gravity direction.
