Please refer to fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an assembly structure 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.

As shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the assembly structure 100 includes a light emitting diode assembly 110, a positioning base 130 and a housing 150. The led assembly 110 is a working assembly to be fixed in the housing 150 and configured to emit light, but the invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 150 is, for example, a housing of a personal computer or a housing of a server host, and is used to accommodate the required computer components, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, when the housing 150 is a casing of a server host, the led assembly 110 may serve as a warning light for the server host, but the invention is not limited thereto. In an embodiment of the present invention, the assembly structure of the present invention can be applied to a server host, and the server host can be used for Artificial Intelligence (AI) operation and edge computing (edge computing), and can also be used as a 5G server, a cloud server or a car networking server.

In fig. 1, the led assembly 110 is disposed in the positioning base 130. The light emitting diode assembly 110 includes a light emitting portion 113 for emitting light. The led assembly 110 is fixed to the opening 152 of the sidewall 151 through the positioning seat 130. After the light emitting diode assembly 110 is fixed, the light emitting part 113 is exposed from the case 150.

As shown in fig. 1, the shape of the opening 152 is approximately circular. In this embodiment, a first clip 134 and a second clip 135 are further disposed on the positioning seat 130, and the first clip 134 and the second clip 135 extend in a direction D2. Correspondingly, on the circular opening 152, there are further provided a first groove 154 and a second groove 155 which are elongated and also extend in the direction D2. The first groove 154 and the second groove 155 are located on opposite sides of the opening 152. Thus, as shown in fig. 1, when the positioning base 130 is fixed in the opening 152, the first groove 154 and the second groove 155 extending from the opening 152 can respectively accommodate the first clamping piece 134 and the second clamping piece 135 of the positioning base 130, so as to limit the rotation of the positioning base 130.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of grooves on the opening 152 is not limited to one. For example, only one of the first clip 134 and the second clip 135 may be disposed on the positioning seat 130, and only one of the first groove 154 and the second groove 155 is retained on the opening 152, which can limit the rotation of the positioning seat 130 for fixing the led assembly 110.

In some embodiments, the male-female engagement relationship between the positioning seat 130 and the opening 152 can be reversed. For example, the positioning base 130 also includes a concave groove, and the opening 152 of the housing 150 is correspondingly provided with a convex piece, so that the concave groove on the positioning base 130 can accommodate the clamping piece on the opening, which is also included in an embodiment of the present invention.

Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, which further illustrate the assembly structure 100. Fig. 2 is an exploded view of an assembly structure 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.

In the present embodiment, the working element to be fixed is the led element 110. As shown in fig. 2, the led assembly 110 includes a light emitting portion 113, a housing 116 connected to the light emitting portion 113, and a pin 119. The housing 116 includes a radiused side 118 and a first stop plane 117.

For further explanation of the structure of the led assembly 110, please refer to fig. 2 and fig. 3A. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3A, the led assembly 110 has three pins 119, but the number of the pins of other working assemblies of the present invention is limited accordingly. Each pin 119 is covered by an electrical wire 121. It should be noted that the length of the wires 121 shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3A is only for illustrative purposes, and the wires 121 may have a longer length in some embodiments to connect with other components for controlling the light emitting diode components 110 to emit light.

In fig. 3A, the housing 116 of the led assembly 110 is provided with a first limiting plane 117, and the first limiting plane 117 is connected to the arc side 118, so as to destroy the rotational freedom of the arc side 118 in the rotational direction, thereby limiting the undesired rotation of the led assembly 110 to affect the overall visual effect. Fig. 3B is a bottom view of the led assembly 110 of fig. 3A, when viewed from the bottom of the led assembly 110, the arc side 118 of the housing 116 is an arc, and the first limiting plane 117 is a straight line.

Please refer to fig. 2, and also refer to fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a positioning base 130 according to an embodiment of the invention. In the present embodiment, the positioning socket 130 includes a fixing groove 133, a first catching piece 134 and a second catching piece 135 protruding from the outside of the fixing groove 133 and facing each other, and a supporter 141 located at the bottom of the fixing groove 133 and protruding toward the inside of the fixing groove 133. The fixing groove 133 is used for accommodating the led assembly 110.

The positioning seat 130 further includes two opposite abutting

members

136 and 138. In the present embodiment, the abutting

pieces

136 and 138 protrude from the outside of the fixing groove 133, and the abutting

pieces

136 and 138 extend in the direction D3. The direction D3 is perpendicular to the direction D2 in which the first clip piece 134 and the second clip piece 135 extend. The abutting piece 136 has elasticity. In the direction D3, the opening 152 is not provided with a recess. When the positioning seat 130 is disposed in the opening 152, the abutting member 136 can deform until the positioning seat 130 is in place, and the positioning seat 130 abuts against the side wall 151 through the abutting member 136 and the abutting member 138, so that the positioning seat 130 is fixed in the opening 152.

The abutting member 136 and the abutting member 138, the first and

second catches

134 and 135, and the supporting member 141 are disposed on the same side of the fixing groove 133. In the present embodiment, a second limiting plane 137 connected to the led element 110 is further disposed in the fixing groove 133 of the positioning base 130 to further limit the led element 110 from rotating unexpectedly, as will be described later.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, a portion of the abutting piece 136 protrudes toward the inside of the fixing groove 133. On the portion of the abutting piece 136 projecting toward the inside, a second stopper plane 137 is further provided. In this embodiment, when the led assembly 110 is assembled into the fixing groove 113, the first limiting plane 117 of the led assembly 110 can abut against the second limiting plane 137.

In fig. 4, the abutting member 136, the abutting member 138, the first clip 134, the second clip 135 and the two supporting members 141 are all located on the same side of the fixing groove 133, wherein the first clip 134 and the second clip 135 are respectively received in the first groove 154 and the second groove 155, the abutting member 136 and the abutting member 138 are used for engaging with the housing 150, and the two supporting members 141 are used for supporting a bottom of the led module 110. Therefore, as shown in fig. 4, in the direction D3, the first clip piece 134 and the second clip piece 135, the abutting piece 136 and the abutting piece 138, and the two supporting pieces 141 do not substantially completely cover each other, but have different lengths in the direction D3.

Returning to fig. 2. In the present embodiment, the housing 150 includes a sidewall 151, and an opening 152 is provided on the sidewall 151. As mentioned above, on opposite sides of the opening 152, a first groove 154 and a second groove 155 extending along the direction D2 and facing each other are further included to receive the first catch 134 and the second catch 135, respectively.

In fig. 2, the led assembly 110 may be assembled in the fixing groove 133 of the positioning base 130, and then the positioning base 130 is placed in the opening 152, so as to fix the led assembly 110 in the opening 152 on the sidewall 151 of the housing 150, so as to establish the assembly structure 100 shown in fig. 1.

Fig. 5A is a partial view of the assembly structure 100 of fig. 1. Fig. 5A illustrates a portion of the front surface of the assembly structure 100, and the first groove 154 and the second groove 155 of the opening 152 respectively receive the first latching member 134 and the second latching member 135 of the positioning seat 130 to limit the rotation of the positioning seat 130.

Fig. 5B is a view from another angle of fig. 5A. In fig. 3B, the engagement among the led assembly 110, the positioning base 130 and the housing 150 is illustrated from the inside of the housing 150.

As mentioned above, the first groove 154 and the second groove 155 of the opening 152 respectively receive the first clip 134 and the second clip 135 of the positioning socket 130, so as to limit the positioning socket 130 in the direction D2. The first limiting plane 117 of the led assembly 110 and the second limiting plane 137 of the positioning socket 130 are disposed in the direction D3 to abut against each other. In the present embodiment, the direction D3 is substantially perpendicular to the direction D2, which makes the rotation of the positioning socket 130 and the led assembly 110 limited in two mutually perpendicular directions D2 and D3, respectively.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5B, the two opposite abutting

pieces

136 and 138 of the positioning seat 130 are also disposed along the direction D3 and partially cover the side wall 151 where the opening 152 is located, so as to further fix the positioning seat 130 in the opening 152.

The positioning socket 130 includes a supporter 141 extending from the fixing groove 133. In fig. 5B, the supporting member 141 is located in the housing 150 and protrudes toward the fixing groove 133, so that the light emitting diode assembly 110 can be supported in the direction D1, and the light emitting diode assembly 110 is prevented from falling into the housing 150.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the arrangement of the led assembly 110 and the positioning base 130 is not limited to the housing 150 for accommodating the computer assembly. In some embodiments, the assembly structure 100 may be implemented on a planar plate body, and the plate body is provided with an opening 152 and a first groove 154 and a second groove 155 recessed from the opening. Thus, the light emitting diode assembly 110 is fixed in the positioning seat 130, the rotation between the light emitting diode assembly 110 and the positioning seat 130 is limited by the first limiting plane 117 and the second limiting plane 137, and the rotation is further limited by the first clamping piece 134 of the positioning seat 130 and the first groove 154 and the second groove 155 in the second clamping piece clamping plate body opening 152, so that the limitation on the rotation direction of the light emitting diode assembly 110 is realized. In other words, it can be understood that the plate body may be the aforementioned housing 150, and the led assembly 110 and the positioning socket 130 are disposed on a plane of the housing 150 and include the opening 152, and the first groove 154 and the second groove 155 are then fixed in the opening 152 of the housing 150.

In summary, in the assembly structure of the present invention, the positioning seat for accommodating the working assembly and the working assembly to be fixed are provided with the abutting limiting plane, so as to limit the rotation of the working assembly in the positioning seat. The working assembly is fixed on the opening of the shell through the positioning seat. On the positioning seat and the opening, corresponding clamping pieces and grooves can be further arranged to limit the rotation of the positioning seat in the opening. The abutting direction of the limiting plane can be perpendicular to the clamping direction of the clamping piece and the groove, so that the working assembly and the positioning seat are limited to be incapable of rotating in two mutually perpendicular directions. Therefore, when the working assembly is the light-emitting assembly, the problem of visual difference caused by rotation can be avoided, and the brightness of the light-emitting assembly is not inconsistent due to different assembly angles.
