Description

M245717 V. Creation Instructions (l) The technical field to which the new type belongs: This creation is a handle structure for extracting expansion modules, especially a hinge. It is also designed for the side of the extension fork group-the handle design. When the expansion module is taken out from the receiving slot in the casing, the opening of the expansion module and the receiving slot can be used to force the user to release the expansion module from the receiving slot. The expansion module can be easily taken out of the case. Previous technology: The world has entered a new era of vigorous information development, and various information network equipment derived from computer technology have been developing very quickly and related to our lives. They are closely related and inseparable, especially the application of servers, which occupy an indispensable position in our lives. Therefore, the power plant's institutional design for word server is also continuously researched and developed. ^ It is conceivable that the future Whether the server-related equipment can provide people with more convenient and effective full-service, it has become one of the important indicators to evaluate the information technology of other countries to lead other countries. (Motherboard) is provided with a plurality of expansion slots (for example: PCI, AGp, ISA) for various expansion cards (expansion cards), but nowadays, various computer hosts are oriented light, thin, short, small For its development of the main axis, this design concept will make the internal space of the case narrow, which will affect the number of expansion slots on the board. ^ In addition, the general expansion card if Directly plugged into each expansion slot in an upright manner, the thickness of the case will be limited by the height of the expansion card. Therefore, page 5 M245717 V. Creation instructions (2)

Unable to shrink and thin properly, so there is a R & D design of riser card (riser card); the so-called riser card is actually a slot conversion design, which is mainly based on a printed circuit board (Printed Circuit B oard (referred to as PCB) is provided with at least one socket, and a row of metal pins (edgec ο η nect 〇r, commonly known as " golden finger π) is provided on one side of the circuit board. The metal pins of the upright card are inserted into the expansion slot (s 10 ot) on the motherboard, and then at least one expansion card is inserted into the insertion slot of the riser card, so that the The expansion card and the chassis are in a state parallel to each other, and a telecommunication connection can be formed between the motherboard and the motherboard. In this way, the thickness of the chassis can be appropriately thinned and can be inserted without wasting space Connect more expansion cards. However, since the upright cards are kept horizontally to each other, when the user wants to inconvenience, for example, suppose that the first expansion card and the third expansion card (riser card) can be inserted into the upright card. When inserting or removing an expansion card into the enclosure, when the first expansion card is plugged in, the third expansion card is completely pulled out for this purpose. The ri ser card is also fixed to be inserted into the expansion mode host first. Board, and makes the card in the expansion slot (s 1 〇t) appear more card when plugged in and unplugged, and when the user needs to turn down one by one, you can swap out an expansion module in an expansion module After the group is assembled, the metal of the expansion vertical card is connected. However, this design is convenient, but in fact, the first card on the vertical card needs to be replaced.咅 p often feels that the second expansion card closest to the expansion card is to directly cover the expansion cards to the main. Although there is a comparable expansion room between the computer and the third expansion card, the host expansion card, Pk. Enclose the expansion shell on the board Body

V. Creation instructions (3) Miniaturization, various interface cards, heat fans, and too much space can cause confusion. Therefore, the finger pad should not be moved to occupy a too appropriate place to produce separation. At present, the internal space is not available, and the hard disk drive has a lot of power to provide the user with a lot of space, and when the handle is used, After inserting the processor, motherboard, memory, or hard drive tray, optical drive, drive, cable and data cable, etc., No one is used as a force point when extracting the expansion module. When the expansion module is taken, it adds a lot of difficulty and a handle structure is designed on the expansion module. In the case of the handle, it can be stored in one of the expansion modules. When the user wants to extract the expansion module, the user only needs to manually pull the expansion card between the vertical card and the expansion slot of the motherboard. This is an important issue. New content: In view of the many shortcomings mentioned above, after a long period of experimentation, the creator finally developed and designed an expansion card model of this creation, in order to use the ingenuity of this creation to make a big difference in society. One of the purposes of this creation is to have a handle structure combination on the side of an expansion mold to make a short shell. When the expansion module is on the motherboard in the detection shell, 'just pull the d easily. < Using the handle assembly and the lever 5 between the chassis and the chassis, that is, the expansion module and the motherboard are loosened and separated. As before, it can be easily extracted from the chassis. The extension mode The user is responsible for the review committee's ability to modify the purpose, shape, and structure of this creation.

_ M245717 V. Creation instructions (4) Set features and their effects, for further understanding and understanding, here are examples to illustrate the details, as follows: Implementation: This creation is an extraction module for expansion modules, Please refer to FIG. 1 for a handlebar structure combination 2 on an expansion module 1.
