Computer Case Quick-Release Structure for Friction-Tolerant Disassembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional computer casings with quick disassembly structures face issues with increased friction due to aging or damage, preventing the lateral toggle from moving and thus hindering the separation of the first and second casings.
Innovation Solution
A quick disassembly structure for computer cases featuring a toggle pin component, sliding plate, and elastic component, which allows for the separation of the first and second casings by rotating the toggle pin around a pivot hole, pushing the transmission plate, and utilizing an elastic component to disengage the hook parts from the tenon.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional quick disassembly structure with a lateral toggle is used, then the casing can be quickly disassembled and reassembled, but increased friction due to aging or damage prevents the toggle from moving, thus preventing disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The lateral toggle structure is divided into multiple independent components: a first lateral toggle, a second lateral toggle, and a connecting component that links them. This segmentation ensures that if one toggle fails due to friction or damage, the other can still function to enable disassembly. The connecting component transmits the pulling force from one toggle to the other, creating a redundant system that improves reliability while maintaining the quick disassembly capability.
2Ease of operation
If the second casing is completely disassembled using the quick disassembly structure, then the casing can be separated for maintenance or upgrades, but alignment issues occur during reattachment
Solution Approach 1:
Limit holes are pre-formed in the first casing at precise positions that correspond to the limit protrusions on the second casing. These limit holes serve as alignment guides that automatically ensure proper positioning when the casings are reattached. The limiting component with its limit protrusions fits into these pre-formed holes, creating a self-aligning mechanism that eliminates alignment issues during reattachment while maintaining complete separability for maintenance and upgrades.

AI summary
The present application discloses a quick disassembly structure for computer case, comprising: a first casing, a quick disassembly member, and a second casing. The quick disassembly member further includes a toggle pin component, a sliding plate, and an elastic component. A sliding limit groove of the sliding plate corresponds to a limit fastener of the first casing, a transmission plate of the sliding plate corresponds to a toggle extension member of the toggle pin component, and the elastic component is fixed to a first hook part of the first casing and a second hook part of the sliding plate, enabling a tenon of the second casing engaging with a third hook part of the sliding plate. Overcoming the issue of a conventional quick disassembly structure for computer case where the lateral push button cannot be moved for separating the first and second casings due to aging or damage, increased friction.
