Abstract

A fixing structure for computer mainboard is provided. The mainboard is clamped between a guard board and a back board. Through the appropriate arrangement of a snap pillar of the guard board and a gourd-shaped hole of the back board, after the snap pillar penetrates the mainboard and the gourd-shaped hole, the mainboard, the guard board and the back board are snapped by moving the back board properly. Furthermore, in the snap state, a fixing pillar penetrates the mainboard and the back board, so as to fasten the two boards. Thus, the step of locking by screws in the conventional art is simplified, and the assembly or disassembly can be fulfilled without any assembling/disassembling tools.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of Invention
  • The present invention relates to a fixing structure for computer mainboard, and more particularly, to a fixing structure for computer mainboard that can fix the mainboard without removing the screws and is convenient in use.
  • 2. Related Art
  • The computer industry develops at an amazing speed. According to statistics, the speed of the CPU in a computer is doubled every 1.5 years. Now, comparing the CPU 8088 in the early times with the P4 at present, the speed is raised several hundred times, and several types of the fixing module of the CPU have also been developed. At first, the CPU was directly fixed on the mainboard, then the CPU was plugged into a socket (Socket 7, Slot 1) by pins, and at present, the P4 CPU is soldered on a socket by the surface mounting technology (SMT). As the CPU generates a lot of heat in operation, a good heat sink has to be used to dissipate heat, thus protecting the CPU from breakdowns or damages. In view of the above, the current fixing modules of CPUs all comprise fixing devices for fixing heatsink fins or fans, so as to ensure the normal operation of the CPUs.
  • Please refer to FIG. 1 of a schematic view of the joining manner of the conventional fixing structure for computer mainboard. As shown in FIG. 1, a reinforcing back board P20 is added to a mainboard P10, so as to improve the capability of the mainboard 10 to bear the combined weight of the CPU, loading slot, fixing frame, heatsink fin, fixing clamp or fan, wherein the fixing frame, heatsink fin, fixing clamp and fan form a heatsink structure of the CPU. Moreover, to protect the CPU and other elements, a guard board P30 is added to the mainboard. Therefore, screws P41 are usually adopted to effectively join the above three boards (the mainboard P10, back board P20 and guard board P30) by means of locking. However, as the current computer components can be upgraded, when a user wants to upgrade the computer components, the screws P41 for locking the above three boards have to be removed, which makes the upgrading process very inconvenient.
  • Therefore, the mainboard P10, back board P20, and guard board P30 are joined with the screws P41 by means of locking, thus causing inconvenience as the screws P41 have to be removed first, and meanwhile, much time is needed for fastening the screws P41. Therefore, it is an objective of research and development in the industry to re-design a fixing structure for computer mainboard which is convenient in use and reduces the time needed for fastening the screws.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Accordingly, an objective of the present invention is to provide a fixing structure for computer mainboard, so as to solve the inconvenience as screws have to be removed in the conventional art that utilizes screws for locking, and meanwhile to overcome the disadvantage in the conventional art that disassembling tools have to be used to effectively loosen the locking with screws.
  • To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a fixing structure for computer mainboard, so as to fix and support a computer mainboard. The fixing structure for computer mainboard comprises a mainboard, a guard board, a back board and at least one fixing pillar. The mainboard comprises at least one snap hole and at least one fixing hole. The guard board stacked on the mainboard has at least one snap pillar for penetrating the snap hole and disposed at a position corresponding to the snap hole on the mainboard. Moreover, the back board is stacked on the other side of the mainboard opposite to the guard board, and has at least one penetrating position and a fixing position. In addition, the back board has at least one gourd-shaped hole and a fastening hole. The gourd-shaped hole has a snap portion and a penetrating portion. When the back board is at the penetrating position, the above penetrating portion is corresponding to the snap hole and lets the snap pillar penetrate. Besides, when the back board is at the fixing position, the snap pillar is snapped at the snap portion. Meanwhile, the fastening hole is corresponding to the fixing hole, and when the back board is at the fixing position, the fixing pillar penetrates the fixing hole of the mainboard and is fixed in the fastening hole of the back board.
  • The present invention is a fixing structure for computer mainboard. Through the implementation of the fixing and supporting structure of a computer mainboard, the computer mainboard can be joined without the locking by screws. Moreover, as the screws do not have to be removed, the fixing and supporting structure of the computer mainboard can be effectively separated without disassembling tools. Therefore, the present invention is convenient in use, and doesn't increase the time for the locking process.
  • To acquire further understandings to the objective, structural features and functions of the present invention, they are illustrated in detail below with reference to the related embodiments and drawings.
  • Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
