The cabinet 100 has a plurality of mounting portions 130. Motherboard 200 with these The circuit board modules 300 are all located within the casing 100. Each of the circuit board modules 300 is electrically connected to the motherboard 200 and is fixed to one of the mounting portions 130. The fixing device 400 includes a first pivoting seat 410 , a second pivoting seat 420 , a cover 430 , a plurality of fixing pins 450 and two locking fasteners 460 . The first pivoting socket 410 is opposite to the second pivoting socket 420 and is respectively locked to the casing 100. The two ends of the cover member 430 are pivotally connected to the first pivot socket 410 and the second pivot socket 420. The fixing pins 450 are located on one side of the cover member 430 for fixing the blocking pieces 320 to the casing 100 along with the pivoting of the cover member 430. The fastener 460 is located on the cover 430 and removably limits the cover 430 to the flap 320.

As such, the architecture described in the above embodiments provides a means for quickly and conveniently assembling or disassembling the circuit board module, thereby not only accelerating the assembly or disassembly of the circuit board module, but also reducing the total maintenance time of the server device 10. It can avoid the inconvenience and problems caused by the screw falling in.

In the present embodiment, more specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the casing 100 has a bottom plate 110 and a plurality of side plates 120. The side plates 120 are adjacent to the bottom plate 110 and define an accommodation space 140 with the bottom plate 110. One of the side plates 120 of the casing 100 has a placement surface 121 and a plurality of breaks 122. The placement surface 121 is located at the top of this side panel 120. These breaks 122 are horizontally arranged on the side panel 120 at intervals. Each of the mounting portions 130 is ribbed, for example, between any two openings 122, and is respectively connected to the placement surface 121 and the bottom plate 110 and extends toward the receiving space 140. Each mounting portion 130 has a locking hole 131. The motherboard 200 is located in the accommodating space 140 and placed on the bottom plate 110 of the casing 100. The motherboard 200 has a plurality of card slots 210. Each circuit board module 300 is, for example, a computer interface card (drawing card, network card, sound card or video card, etc.), and each circuit board module 300 A circuit board 310 and a shutter 320 are included. The circuit board 310 is detachably inserted into one of the card slots 210, and thereby electrically connects the motherboard 200. Each of the flaps 320 is bent and includes a lateral portion and an upright portion. The lateral portion is fixed to the mounting portion 130, and the upright portion covers one of the openings 122 of the breach 122. The lateral portion of each of the flaps 320 has an opening 321 that is aligned with the locking hole 131. It should be understood that the structure of the blocking piece 320 is the same as that of the original blocking piece of the computer interface card, and will not be further described herein.

The cover member 430 includes a first lug 431, a second lug 432 and a long cover plate 433. The first lug 431 and the second lug 432 are disposed on the long side of the long cover 433. The first lug 431 is pivotally connected to the first pivot socket 410 through the first pivot 441, and the second lug 432 is disposed. The second pivoting seat 420 is pivotally connected through the second pivot 442. In other words, the long cover 433 has a long axis direction 433L, and the second pivot 442 is coaxial with the first pivot 441, and both have an axis 443 parallel to the long axis direction 433L. Thus, the cover member 430 can pivot about the axis 443 to cover or move away from the flaps 320. These fixing pins 450 are formed at intervals on the long cover 433 to cover one side of the flap 320. The two lock fasteners 460 are, for example, a knob latch, respectively disposed at opposite ends of the cover member 430. However, the present creation is not limited to its configuration position.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of Figure 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, each of the fasteners 460 includes a body 461, an operating portion 462, a buckle portion 463, and a spring 464. The body 461 is fixed to the long cover 433. The operating portion 462 is located at one end of the body 461 opposite to the long cover 433. One end of the buckle portion 463 is connected to the operating portion 462, and the other end is extended to the other end of the body 461. The spring 464 is located in the body 461 and abuts the inner wall of the operating portion 462 and the body 461, respectively.

Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of Figure 3. As shown in Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 5, when the circuit board module 300 is mounted to the motherboard 200, after the user inserts the circuit board modules 300 into the card slots 210, the user rotates the cover 430 in the direction C1. Covering these flaps 320, at this time, all the fixing pins 450 on one side of the long cover plate 433 can be respectively inserted into the locking holes 131 in which one of the openings 321 is aligned with it (Fig. 5), so that each circuit board can be molded. The set 300 is fixed to the casing 100; then, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the user respectively rotates and presses the operating portion 462 of each of the fasteners 460 so that the buckle portion 463 of the fastener 460 can pass through. The elongated hole 132 of the casing 100 is fastened to one side of the casing 100 opposite to the cover plate 433 (Fig. 4), so that the blocks 320 are more effectively locked to the casing 100 and the long cover. Between 433, the chances of the above-mentioned fixing pins 450 being separated from the locking holes 131 are reduced.

On the contrary, when disassembling the circuit board modules 300, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the user first unlocks the lock 460 from the casing 100, and then reversely rotates the cover 430 in the direction C2 to move away from these. The opening 321 of the flap 320 allows all the fixing pins 450 of the long cover 433 to quickly exit the corresponding opening 321 and the locking hole 131 to release the fixing of the cover member 430 to the circuit board module 300. In this way, the user can separate the circuit board modules 300 from the card slot 210, respectively.

It should be understood that in this embodiment, although the number of these locks 460 is two, the present creation is not limited to the number of these locks 460. In other embodiments, the number of these fasteners can also be adjusted depending on the length and strength of the cover. For example, when the fasteners are larger than two, the fasteners are linearly disposed on the cover such that one of the locks is located in the middle of the cover to reinforce the force of the cover pressing the flap.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the server device 11 of another embodiment of the present invention. The fixing device 401 of Fig. 6 is substantially the same as the fixing device 400 of Fig. 1, and one of the differences is that the fixing device 401 of Fig. 6 is different from the flipping method 430 of the fixing device 400 of Fig. 1 . More specifically, the fixing device 401 of FIG. 6 has only the first pivoting seat 410 and does not have the second pivoting seat, and one end of the long cover plate 433 facing away from the first pivoting seat 410 is a free end 434. Thus, when the cover member 430 is pivotally connected to the first pivoting seat 410 through the first pivot 441, the axis 444 of the first pivot 441 and the long axis direction 433L of the long cover 433 are orthogonal to each other, so that the cover 430 It is possible to rotate near or away from the circuit board module 300 in the direction C3 or C4.

In addition, the fixture 401 of FIG. 6 may select a single lock 470. A single lock 470 is located on the free end 434 of the long cover 433. Therefore, when the user turns the cover 430 away from the opening 321 of the flap 320 in the direction C4, the single lock 470 will rotate over the free end 434 of the long cover 433 above the first pivot mount 410.

Finally, the various embodiments disclosed above are not intended to limit the present invention, and any person skilled in the art can be protected in this manner without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In the creation. Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
