Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphics card technology, and in particular to a novel snap-fit ​​structure. Background Technology

[0002] In graphics card design, decorative covers are often added to the outer cover to enhance the product's aesthetics. The existing methods of fixing decorative covers to the outer cover mainly include screw fastening, clip fastening, and adhesive.

[0003] However, while screw fastening offers high reliability, in transparent structures, exposed screws directly disrupt visual integrity, and the exposed internal structure affects overall aesthetics. Adhesive fastening, using backing adhesive for fixation, avoids visual exposure of the external structure, but its reliability is susceptible to environmental temperature, humidity, and adhesive aging, posing a risk of detachment over time. Furthermore, adhesive residue is clearly visible under transparent materials, significantly reducing the overall appearance. While snap-fit ​​fastening can conceal the connection structure to maintain a seamless look, overly tight snaps can lead to assembly difficulties, while overly loose snaps result in insufficient connection strength, making them prone to loosening and detachment under vibration or external force, affecting stability during use.

[0004] Therefore, in order to further improve the ease of installation and stability of existing decorative covers, we propose a new snap-fit ​​structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as the difficulty of assembly caused by excessively tight buckles, and insufficient connection strength caused by excessively loose buckles, and to propose a new buckle structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: Design a novel snap-fit ​​structure, including an outer cover and a decorative element; The outer side of the outer cover has at least one mounting position, in which the decorative element is placed; The decorative part is provided with a limiting component and a snap fastener component. The limiting component is used to limit the decorative part and the outer cover in a first direction, and the snap fastener component is used to limit the decorative part and the outer cover in a second direction. The end face of the mounting position has a limiting hole and a snap fastener groove that are adapted to the limiting component and the snap fastener component.

[0007] Furthermore, the decorative element includes a side surface and a top surface; The side surface is recessed into the side of the mounting position, and the top surface is recessed above the mounting position.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a plurality of limiting pins arranged in two rows; The two rows of limiting pins are respectively formed below the side and top surfaces. Several limiting holes are arranged in two rows on the lower and upper surfaces of the mounting position. The limiting pins and the limiting holes are inserted into each other.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide slope is provided at the bottom of the limiting pin, and the guide slope is away from the buckle assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes several claws formed below the top surface, the claws engaging with the buckle groove, and the buckle groove having an L-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer cover has an annular groove formed inside, and the annular groove is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0012] The novel snap-fit ​​structure proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: In this utility model, the combination of the limiting component and the snap-fit ​​component is used to securely connect the decorative part to the mounting position of the outer cover. The limiting component adopts a limiting pin design, which not only improves the accuracy and convenience of assembly, but also, with the help of the guide slope formed at its bottom, guides the snap-fit ​​component during the installation of the decorative part, so as to force it to be firmly engaged with the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby greatly improving the tightness and stability of the decorative part installed on the outer cover.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-5As one embodiment of this utility model, a novel snap-fit ​​structure is disclosed, specifically the snap-fit ​​structure includes an outer cover 1 and a decorative part 2; The outer cover 1 has at least one mounting position 11 on its outer side, and the decorative piece 2 is placed in the mounting position 11. Of course, the mounting position 11 in this utility model is not limited to one, such as... Figure 2 The decorative element 2 shown can also be configured as two. When the mounting position 11 is configured as two, the decorative element 2 should also be configured as two. The decorative part 2 is provided with a limiting component 21 and a snap fastener component 22. The limiting component 21 is used to limit the decorative part 2 and the outer cover 1 in a first direction, and the snap fastener component 22 is used to limit the decorative part 2 and the outer cover 1 in a second direction. The end face of the mounting position 11 has a limiting hole 12 and a snap fastener groove 13 that are adapted to the limiting component 21 and the snap fastener component 22.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first direction is the width direction of the outer cover 1, and the second direction is the height direction of the outer cover 1. By locking and positioning the decorative piece 2 on the outer cover 1 in the first and second directions, the decorative piece 2 is securely installed on the top of the outer cover 1.

[0018] In some embodiments, the decorative component 2 of this utility model includes a side surface 23 and a top surface 24. The top surface 24 and the side surface 23 together form an L-shaped structural component. Obviously, the mounting position 11 in this embodiment should also be set as an L-shaped groove. The side surface 23 is recessed into the side of the mounting position 11, and the top surface 24 is recessed into the top of the mounting position 11. The recessed design ensures the consistency of the overall appearance. At the same time, the limiting component 21 and the buckle component 22 can be installed in a hidden manner, thereby improving the reliability of the decorative part 2 after installation.

[0019] Furthermore, the limiting component 21 described in this embodiment includes several limiting pins arranged in two rows. Each row of limiting pins is configured with multiple limiting pins, and the specific number is not limited in this embodiment. The two rows of limiting pins are respectively formed below the side surface 23 and the top surface 24. Several limiting holes 12 are arranged in two rows on the lower end surface and the upper end surface of the mounting position 11. The limiting pins and the limiting holes 12 are inserted into each other.

[0020] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is a guide slope 211 at the bottom of the limiting pin. The guide slope 211 is away from the buckle assembly 22. The guide slope 211 is provided to guide the buckle assembly 22 so that it can be stably snapped inward, thereby improving the stability after snapping.

[0021] Based on the above embodiments, the buckle assembly 22 in this embodiment includes a plurality of claws formed below the top surface 24, the claws engaging with the buckle groove 13, and the buckle groove 13 having an L-shaped structure.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, the claw and the limiting pin are integrally formed with the decorative part. Of course, the claw is set as an L-shaped claw, which is preferably made of plastic to ensure that it has a certain elastic deformation force. In addition, the width of the buckle groove 13 in this embodiment is not less than the bottom width of the claw, so as to ensure that the claw can smoothly and tightly move downward into the buckle groove 13.

[0023] During the actual installation process, the decorative piece 2 is placed downward into the installation position 11. At this time, the claw will first enter the buckle groove 13 and move downward. When it moves further, the guide slope 211 at the bottom of the limiting pin will be inserted into the inside of the limiting hole 12. Since the guide ramp 211 is set at an angle, it will push the entire decorative part 2 toward the mounting position 11, at which time the claws and the inner wall of the buckle groove 13 will be subjected to force. When pressed further, the guide slope 211 of the limiting pin is fully inserted into the interior of the limiting hole 12. The outer horizontal surface of the limiting pin abuts against the decorative part 2 and moves inward. At the same time, the claw engages with the lower part of the buckle groove 13 to complete the fixation. Due to the stop of the limiting pin, the engagement of the claw in the first direction can be ensured. At the same time, the engagement of the claw and the buckle groove 13 can ensure the engagement in the second direction. This avoids the problem of the decorative part 2 shaking and greatly improves the installation stability and reliability of the decorative part 2.

[0024] Of course, considering the detachable connection of the decorative part 2, the outer cover 1 in this embodiment has an annular groove 14 formed inside. The annular groove 14 is connected to the buckle groove 13. That is, when it is necessary to remove the decorative part 2, the bottom of the buckle claw can be bent with a tool to deform it. When the buckle claw is disengaged from the lower side of the buckle groove 13, the decorative part 2 can be pulled out upwards to remove it. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0025] In summary, the present invention uses the combination of the limiting component 21 and the snap-fit ​​component 22 to securely connect the decorative part 2 to the mounting position of the outer cover 1. The limiting component 21 adopts a limiting pin design, which not only improves the accuracy and convenience of assembly, but also guides the snap-fit ​​component 22 during the installation of the decorative part 2 by means of the guide slope 211 formed at its bottom, so as to force it to be firmly engaged with the snap-fit ​​groove 13, thereby greatly improving the tightness and stability of the decorative part 2 installed on the outer cover 1.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
