[0002] In some existing technologies, the chassis can only be fitted with one type of target component, resulting in poor versatility. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a chassis and electronic device to solve the problem that existing chassis cannot accommodate target components of various sizes.

[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a chassis for mounting a first target component or a second target component. The chassis includes a base plate and a side plate. The base plate includes a support plate and a spring clip. The spring clip is connected to the support plate and extends along a first direction. The spring clip has a first protrusion and a second protrusion, which are spaced apart along the first direction. The side plate is connected to the edge of the base plate along one side of the first direction. The first protrusion is spaced apart from the side plate along the first direction and defines a first mounting space for mounting the first target component. The second protrusion is spaced apart from the side plate along the first direction and defines a second mounting space for mounting the second target component.

[0005] In the embodiments of this application, the bottom plate of the chassis is provided with a spring clip, and the spring clip is provided with multiple protrusions. Each protrusion is adapted to a target component of a certain size, fixing the target component to the chassis. In this way, the chassis can be adapted to install multiple target components of different sizes, which helps to improve the versatility of the chassis.

[0006] In one possible implementation, along the second direction, the first protrusion extends beyond the spring by a larger dimension than the second protrusion extends beyond the spring. The second direction intersects the first direction.

[0007] In one possible implementation, along the second direction, the spring is disposed on the side of the support plate near the chassis, and a first gap is formed between the spring and the support plate.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the spring includes a sheet body and a handle portion. The sheet body has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other. The first end is connected to a support plate, and the handle portion is connected to the second end. A first protrusion and a second protrusion are disposed on the sheet body.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the support plate has a groove, the groove having a first groove wall along a first direction near the side plate and a second groove wall along the first direction away from the side plate. A first end is connected to the first groove wall, and a handle portion is spaced apart from the second groove wall along the first direction.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the first protrusion includes a first connecting portion and a first snap-fit ​​portion, the first snap-fit ​​portion extending in a first direction toward the side plate, and the first connecting portion connecting between the first snap-fit ​​portion and the bottom plate. The second protrusion includes a second connecting portion and a second snap-fit ​​portion, the second snap-fit ​​portion extending in the first direction toward the side plate, and the second connecting portion connecting between the second snap-fit ​​portion and the bottom plate.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a first connecting portion is connected to the side of the first snap-fit ​​portion away from the side panel along a first direction, and forms a first opening towards the side panel along the first direction. A second connecting portion is connected to the side of the second snap-fit ​​portion away from the side panel along the first direction, and forms a second opening towards the side panel along the first direction.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the chassis further includes a rear panel connected to the edge of the base plate along a third direction. The third direction intersects the first direction. The base plate also has a limiting protrusion spaced from the rear panel along the third direction to limit either the first type of target component on both sides along the third direction or the second type of target component on both sides along the third direction.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the chassis further includes a clamping part and a third connecting part. The clamping part forms a second gap with the support plate along a second direction, and the third connecting part connects the clamping part between the clamping part and the support plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] Some embodiments of this application are described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] Example See Figures 1 to 3 This application provides an electronic device 1000, including a chassis 100 and a first target component 1 or a second target component 2. The first target component 1 or the second target component 2 is disposed within the chassis 100.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, the first direction X is the length direction of the chassis 100, the second direction Z is the height direction of the chassis 100, and the third direction Y is the width direction of the chassis 100.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first target component 1 and the second target component 2 can be two power supplies of different sizes, with the length of the first target component 1 along the first direction X being greater than the length of the second target component 2 along the first direction X. In other embodiments, the first target component 1 and the second target component 2 can also be other expansion cards, hard drives, etc., and this application is not limited thereto. In some electronic devices 1000, different models of power supplies are required depending on the configuration; therefore, a chassis 100 that can be compatible with multiple different models is needed. When the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 is installed into the chassis 100, the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 will shift within the chassis 100 along the first direction X, making installation inconvenient. Pre-fixing is required before the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 is fixedly installed to limit the displacement of the first target component 1 or the second target component 2, facilitating subsequent fixation with higher strength. For example, after pre-fixing, the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 is fixed to the chassis 100 with screws.

[0031] See Figures 2 to 5 In some embodiments, the chassis 100 includes a base plate 10 and side plates 18, the base plate 10 including a support plate 11 (see...). Figure 6 A first protrusion 14 and a second protrusion 15 are provided on the base plate 10. The first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 15 are spaced apart along the first direction X. A side plate 18 is connected to the edge of the base plate 10 along the first direction X. The first protrusion 14 is spaced apart from the side plate 18 along the first direction X and defines a first mounting space 20 for mounting a first type of target component 1. The second protrusion 15 is spaced apart from the side plate 18 along the first direction X and defines a second mounting space 21 for mounting a second type of target component 2.

[0032] In some embodiments, a first target member 1 is adapted to a first mounting space 20, and a first protrusion 14 and a side plate 18 are able to abut against and limit the first target member 1 on both sides along the first direction X. A second target member 2 is adapted to a second mounting space 21, and a second protrusion 15 and a side plate 18 are able to abut against and limit the second target member 2 on both sides along the first direction X.

[0033] In some embodiments, the base plate 10 of the chassis 100 is provided with a spring piece 12, which has multiple protrusions. Each protrusion is adapted to a target component of a certain size, thereby fixing the target component to the chassis 100. In this way, the chassis 100 can be adapted to install multiple target components of different sizes, thus having high versatility.

[0034] In some embodiments, along the second direction Z, the first protrusion 14 protrudes beyond the spring piece 12 by a larger dimension than the second protrusion 15 protrudes beyond the spring piece 12. The first protrusion 14 is disposed on the side of the second protrusion 15 away from the side plate 18 along the first direction X, and the height (H1) of the first protrusion 14 along the second direction Z is greater than the height (H2) of the second protrusion 15 along the second direction Z (see...). Figure 4 This is such that when the first target 1 is installed, the first target 1 passes over the second target 2 and engages with the first target 1, thereby causing the first protrusion 14 to elastically abut against the side plate 18 and limit the first target 1 along the first direction X.

[0035] In some embodiments, along the second direction Z, the spring piece 12 is disposed on the side of the support plate 11 near the chassis 100, and a first gap 22 is formed between the spring piece 12 and the support plate 11. When the first target component 1 is installed, the spring piece 12 is deformed under the action of external force. At this time, the dimension of the first installation space 20 along the first direction X is larger than the dimension of the first target component 1 along the first direction X, and the first target component 1 can enter the first installation space 20. After the external force is released, the spring piece 12 is deformed and reset, so that the first protrusion 14 pushes the first target component 1 against the side plate 18 along the first direction X. When installing the second target component 2, the spring piece 12 is deformed under the action of external force. At this time, the size of the second installation space 21 along the first direction X is larger than the size of the second target component 2 along the first direction X. The second target component 2 can enter the second installation space 21. After the external force is released, the spring piece 12 is deformed and reset, so that the second protrusion 15 pushes the second target component 2 against the side plate 18 along the first direction X. The spring piece 12 and the bearing plate 11 are integrally made, which is convenient to operate.

[0036] When installing the first target component 1 or the second target component 2, the spring piece 12 elastically supports the bottom wall of the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 along the second direction Z and limits the first target component 1 or the second target component 2. It is foreseeable that in other embodiments, multiple protrusions may be provided on the spring piece 12, with the multiple protrusions spaced apart along the first direction X, to adapt to multiple target components of different sizes, so that the chassis 100 can be adapted to install multiple target components of different sizes.

[0037] See Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, the spring 12 includes a body 13 and a handle portion 16. The body 13 has a first end 131 and a second end 132 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 131 is connected to a support plate 11, and the handle portion 16 is connected to the second end 132. A first protrusion 14 and a second protrusion 15 are disposed on the body 13. When installing the first target component 1, an external force presses the handle portion 16 along the second direction Z, causing the body 13 to deform, thereby installing the first target component 1 into the first mounting space 20. When installing the second target component 2, an external force presses the handle portion 16 along the second direction Z, causing the body 13 to deform, thereby installing the second target component 2 into the second mounting space 21.

[0038] In some embodiments, when installing the first target component 1, an external force is applied to the sheet 13, causing the sheet 13 to deform. The first protrusion 14 moves to the corresponding support plate 11, allowing the first target component 1 to slide along the first direction X to the abutting side plate 18. Subsequently, the external force is released, and the sheet 13 returns to its original position, confining the first target component 1 within the first mounting space 20. When installing the second target component 2, an external force is applied to the sheet 13, causing the sheet 13 to deform. The second protrusion 15 moves to the corresponding support plate 11, and the external force deforms the sheet 13, allowing the second target component 2 to slide along the first direction X to the abutting side plate 18. Subsequently, the sheet 13 returns to its original position, confining the second target component 2 within the second mounting space 21. The pre-fixing process of the first target component 1 and the second target component 2 does not require the assistance of other tools, and the confinement can be completed simply by sliding, making the operation simple and highly versatile.

[0039] In some embodiments, the support plate 11 has a groove 111, which has a first groove wall 112 along the first direction X near the side plate 18 and a second groove wall 113 along the first direction X away from the side plate 18. The first end 131 is connected to the first groove wall 112, and the handle portion 16 is spaced apart from the second groove wall 113 along the first direction X. External force, by pressing the handle portion 16, moves the second end 132 to the corresponding plate surface of the support plate 11 or to the other side of the support plate 11 along the second direction Z, thereby unlocking the limiting of the first target member 1 or the second target member 2. Unlocking is convenient and does not require other auxiliary tools, making it highly versatile.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 14 includes a first connecting portion 141 and a first snap-fit ​​portion 142. The first snap-fit ​​portion 142 extends along a first direction X toward the side plate 18, and the first connecting portion 141 connects the first snap-fit ​​portion 142 and the base plate 10. The second protrusion 15 includes a second connecting portion 151 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 152. The second snap-fit ​​portion 152 extends along a first direction X toward the side plate 18, and the second connecting portion 151 connects the second snap-fit ​​portion 152 and the base plate 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, one end of the first connecting portion 141 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​portion 142, and the other end extends obliquely and is connected to the base plate 10. The first connecting portion 141, the first snap-fit ​​portion 142 and the base plate 10 are integrally formed.

[0042] In some embodiments, one end of the first connecting portion 141 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​portion 142, and the other end extends obliquely and is connected to the base plate 10. The first connecting portion 141, the first snap-fit ​​portion 142 and the base plate 10 are integrally stamped. The oblique arrangement of the first connecting portion 141 facilitates the stamping operation, and after the stamping is completed, the connection between the first connecting portion 141 and the first snap-fit ​​portion 142 has high strength, and the strength between the first connecting portion 141 and the base plate 10 is high.

[0043] In some embodiments, one end of the second connecting portion 151 is connected to the second snap-fit ​​portion 152, and the other end extends obliquely and is connected to the base plate 10. The second connecting portion 151, the second snap-fit ​​portion 152 and the base plate 10 are integrally stamped. The oblique arrangement of the second connecting portion 151 facilitates the stamping operation, and after the stamping is completed, the strength at the connection between the second connecting portion 151 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 152 is high, and the strength between the second connecting portion 151 and the base plate 10 is high.

[0044] In some embodiments, a first connecting portion 141 is connected to the side of the first latching portion 142 away from the side plate 18 along the first direction X, and forms a first opening 143 towards the side plate 18 along the first direction X, so that the first latching portion 142 abuts against the first target member 1. The first connecting portion 141 is spaced apart from the first target member 1 along the first direction X to avoid obstructing the first target member 1 from abutting against the sheet 13 of the spring piece 12. A second connecting portion 151 is connected to the side of the second latching portion 152 away from the side plate 18 along the first direction X, and forms a second opening 153 towards the side plate 18 along the first direction X, so that the second latching portion 152 abuts against the second target member 2. The second connecting portion 151 is spaced apart from the second target member 2 along the second direction Z to avoid obstructing the second target member 2 from abutting against the sheet 13 of the spring piece 12.

[0045] See Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the chassis 100 further includes a rear plate 19, which is connected to the edge of the base plate 10 along the third direction Y. The third direction Y intersects the first direction X. The base plate 10 also has limiting protrusions 17, which are spaced apart from the rear plate 19 along the third direction Y, to limit the first target member 1 on both sides along the third direction Y or to limit the second target member 2 on both sides along the third direction Y. In some embodiments, the base plate 10 has a plurality of limiting protrusions 17, which are spaced apart along the first direction X and together abut against the sidewall of the first target member 1 or the second target member 2 away from the rear plate 19 along the third direction Y, thereby limiting the first target member 1 or the second target member 2 along the third direction Y.

[0046] In some embodiments, the chassis 100 further includes a clamping portion 23 and a third connecting portion 24. The clamping portion 23 forms a second gap 25 with the support plate 11 along the second direction Z. The third connecting portion 24 connects the clamping portion 23 between the support plate 11 and the support portion 23. The clamping portion 23 is used to position the first target member 1 or the second target member 2 to the second gap 25.

[0047] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the clamping part 23 is disposed between the spring piece 12 and the side plate 18, and along the third direction Y, the clamping part 23 is disposed between the limiting protrusion 17 and the rear plate 19. In other embodiments, the clamping part 23 may also be disposed at other positions on the bottom plate 10 corresponding to the chassis 100, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0048] In some embodiments, the clamping part 23 is integrally stamped with the base plate 10, resulting in high strength and simple manufacturing.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first target member 1 has a through hole 3. When the first target member 1 is installed, the clamping part 23 passes through the through hole 3, the first target member 1 slides along the first direction X, and the clamping part 23 abuts against the surface of the bottom wall of the first target member 1 away from the bottom plate 10 along the second direction Z, thereby limiting the first target member 1 along the second direction Z.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second target member 2 has a through hole 3. When the second target member 2 is installed, the clamping part 23 passes through the through hole 3, the second target member 2 slides along the first direction X, and the clamping part 23 abuts against the surface of the bottom wall of the second target member 2 away from the bottom plate 10 along the second direction Z, thereby limiting the second target member 2 along the second direction Z.

[0051] In summary, in some embodiments, the chassis 100 has a base plate 10 with a spring piece 12. The spring piece 12 has a first protrusion 14 and a second protrusion 15 along a first direction X to limit the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 along the first direction X. The base plate 10 also has a locking part 23, which is spaced from the support plate 11 along a second direction Z. The bottom wall of the first target component 1 and the bottom wall of the second target component 2 have through holes 3. The locking part 23 extends into the through holes 3 and presses the bottom wall of the first target component 1 or the bottom wall of the second target component 2 against the support plate 11 to limit the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 along a third direction Y. The base plate 10 also has a limiting protrusion 17, which is spaced from the rear plate 19 of the chassis 100 along a third direction Y and limits the first target component 1 or the second target component 2 along the third direction Y. Three sets of limiting structures pre-fix the first type of target component 1 or the second type of target component 2 to prevent the first type of target component 1 or the second type of target component 2 from shifting during installation, thus providing high versatility.
