Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a network card positioning structure according to an embodiment of the present invention in a first mode. Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the network card positioning structure of fig. 1. Specifically, the three-dimensional coordinates x-y-z are depicted in the figures to facilitate reference or description. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the network card positioning mechanism 100 may be installed on a housing 210 of an electronic device 200, wherein the electronic device 200 may be a computer host or a server, and the housing 210 may be a housing of the computer host or the server. The network card positioning mechanism 100 can be generally used for at least two network cards with different specifications and sizes, and any network card is installed and positioned on the casing 210, so that the network card is prevented from loosening or sliding on the casing 210 at will. For example, the network card may be a video graphics array display card (VGA card), other types of network cards, or expansion cards.
In detail, the network card positioning mechanism 100 includes a bracket 110, a sliding frame 120 and an adjusting screw 130, wherein the bracket 110 is fixedly locked on the housing 210, and the sliding frame 120 is slidably connected to the bracket 110 to slide up and down along the z-axis direction. In addition, an adjustment screw 130 may be used to adjust the position of the carriage 120 on the bracket 110. Taking the installation of the network card as an example, the installer can screw the adjusting screw 130 tightly according to the specification and size of the network card to drive the sliding frame 120 to slide relative to the bracket 110 and to tightly press the network card. Taking the case of detaching the network card, the installer unscrews the adjusting screws 130 to drive the sliding rack 120 to separate from the network card, thereby detaching the network card from the housing 210.
In the embodiment, the bracket 110 includes a base 111, a guiding plate 112 and a supporting plate 113, and the base 111, the guiding plate 112 and the supporting plate 113 may be an integrally formed structure, such as a sheet metal part. The base 111 is locked and fixed on the casing 210, wherein the guide plate 112 is connected to the base 111 and extends along the z-axis direction. The carrier plate 113 is connected to the guide plate 112 and extends along the x-axis direction. The guiding plate 112 and the supporting plate 113 are substantially perpendicular to each other, and the supporting plate 113 and the base 111 are respectively located at two sides of the guiding plate 112.
Fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the network card positioning structure of fig. 1 from another view angle. Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the guide plate 112 includes two lateral sliding rails 1121 symmetrically disposed, wherein the two lateral sliding rails 1121 extend along the z-axis direction, and the sliding frame 120 is slidably connected to the two lateral sliding rails 1121 to slide up and down along the z-axis direction. Further, the sliding rack 120 includes a sliding plate 121 and a positioning plate 122, wherein the sliding plate 121 is slidably connected to the guiding plate 112 and is guided by the two lateral sliding rails 1121 to slide up and down along the z-axis direction.
The sliding plate 121 and the positioning plate 122 may be integrally formed structures, such as sheet metal parts. The positioning plate 122 is connected to the sliding plate 121, wherein the positioning plate 122 extends along the x-axis direction and is substantially perpendicular to the sliding plate 121. The positioning plate 122 faces the loading plate 113 and the housing 210, and the positioning plate 122 at least partially overlaps the loading plate 113 in the z-axis direction. As the sliding bracket 120 slides in the z-axis direction with respect to the bracket 110, the distance between the positioning plate 122 and the loading plate 113 and the distance between the positioning plate 122 and the housing 210 change.
In detail, the sliding plate 121 includes two sliding side wing portions 1211 symmetrically disposed, and the two sliding side wing portions 1211 extend along the z-axis direction. The sliding plate 121 is disposed between the two lateral sliding rails 1121, and the two sliding side wing portions 1211 are slidably connected to the two lateral sliding rails 1121 respectively. More specifically, the sliding plate 121 is slidably connected between the guiding plate 112 and the two lateral sliding rails 1121, so that the sliding frame 120 can stably slide up and down along the z-axis direction, and can avoid displacement in the x-axis direction or the y-axis direction.
On the other hand, positioning plate 122 includes forward positioning portion 1221 connecting sliding plate 121 and lateral positioning portion 1222 connecting forward positioning portion 1221, where forward positioning portion 1221 extends in the y-axis direction, and lateral positioning portion 1222 extends in the z-axis direction. That is, the forward positioning portion 1221 and the lateral positioning portion 1222 are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the sliding plate 121. In the z-axis direction, the positive positioning portion 1221 faces the loading plate 113 and at least partially overlaps the loading plate 113, so that the adjustment screw 130 passes through the positive positioning portion 1221 and the loading plate 113.
For example, the positive positioning portion 1221 and the carrier plate 113 are respectively provided with a through hole, and in the z-axis direction, the through hole of the positive positioning portion 1221 overlaps the through hole of the carrier plate 113, so that the adjusting screw 130 passes through the through hole of the positive positioning portion 1221 and the through hole of the carrier plate 113. Because the supporting plate 113 is kept stationary and the through hole of the supporting plate 113 can be a screw hole screwed with the adjusting screw 130, when the adjusting screw 130 is rotated, the adjusting screw 130 can slide along the z-axis direction to drive the positioning plate 122 to slide along the z-axis direction, and the positive positioning portion 1221 can slide close to or away from the supporting plate 113.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the forward positioning portion 1221 of the positioning plate 122 has a first locking hole 1223, and the carrier plate 113 has a second locking hole 1131. In the z-axis direction, the first locking hole 1223 is aligned with or overlapped with the second locking hole 1131, and the adjusting screw 130 passes through the first locking hole 1223 and the second locking hole 1131. Since the supporting plate 113 is kept stationary and the second locking hole 1131 of the supporting plate 113 can be a screw hole screwed with the adjusting screw 130, when the adjusting screw 130 is rotated, the adjusting screw 130 can slide along the z-axis direction to drive the positioning plate 122 to slide along the z-axis direction, and the forward positioning portion 1221 can slide close to or away from the supporting plate 113.
Further, the network card positioning mechanism 100 further includes a spring 140, wherein the spring 140 is disposed between the positioning plate 122 and the carrier plate 113, and can be a compression spring. That is, two ends of the spring 140 respectively contact the positioning plate 122 and the supporting plate 113, and the adjusting screw 130 passes through the spring 140 to prevent the spring 140 from separating from the positioning plate 122 and the supporting plate 113.
Taking the installation of the network card as an example, the installer can screw the adjusting screw 130 to drive the sliding frame 120 to slide relative to the bracket 110, and make the forward positioning portion 1221 slide close to the carrier plate 113 to be pressed against the network card. In the process, the spring 140 is compressed. Taking the example of detaching the network card, the installer can loosen the adjusting screw 130 to drive the sliding frame 120 to slide relative to the bracket 110 by the elastic restoring force of the spring 140, and make the positive positioning portion 1221 slide away from the carrier 113 to separate from the network card. Therefore, the network card positioning structure 100 is quite convenient for the installer to operate, and is helpful for improving the network card dismounting efficiency.
The following description will be made in detail with respect to the network card positioning mechanism 100 for mounting and positioning the first network card 300 on the chassis 210 in the first mode.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the network card positioning structure of fig. 1 and the first network card positioned by the network card positioning structure. It should be noted that the first network card 300 in fig. 4 is shown by a dashed line to clearly show the network card positioning mechanism 100. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 4, in the present embodiment, after the first network card 300 is inserted into a slot (not shown) on the motherboard, an installer first selects the first positioning block 150 matching with the geometric profile and the size of the first network card 300, and disposes the first positioning block 150 on a side of the positioning plate 122 facing the carrier plate 113. Next, the installer moves the network card positioning mechanism 100 to one side of the first network card 300 and fixes the bracket 110 on the housing 210 such that the bracket 110 abuts against one side of the first network card 300. Then, the installer screws the adjusting screw 130 to drive the sliding frame 120 to slide relative to the bracket 110, and makes the positive positioning portion 1221 slide close to the carrier plate 113 to press against the first network card 300 through the first positioning block 150.
In detail, the first positioning block 150 includes a first forward contact portion 151 and a first lateral contact portion 152 protruding from the first forward contact portion 151, wherein the first forward contact portion 151 is disposed corresponding to the forward positioning portion 1221, and the first lateral contact portion 152 is disposed corresponding to the lateral positioning portion 1222. When the first positioning block 150 presses against the first network card 300, the first positioning block 150 is located between the positioning plate 122 and the first network card 300. In addition, first forward contact portion 151 is located between forward positioning portion 1221 and first network card 300, and contacts forward positioning portion 1221 and first network card 300. First lateral contact 152 is located between lateral positioning portion 1222 and first network card 300, and contacts lateral positioning portion 1222 and first network card 300. Accordingly, when the positioning plate 122 presses the first network card 300 through the first positioning block 150, the first network card 300 cannot arbitrarily slide in the directions of the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis with respect to the housing 210.
Relatively speaking, the installer can loosen the adjusting screw 130 to drive the sliding frame 120 to slide relative to the bracket 110 by the elastic restoring force of the spring 140, and slide the positive positioning portion 1221 away from the carrier 113, so that the positioning plate 122 and the first positioning block 150 are separated from the first network card 300, thereby detaching the first network card 300 from the housing 210.
For example, the first positioning block 150 is substantially L-shaped, and the first positioning block 150 may be made of rubber or silicone to avoid abrasion of the first network card 300 or to increase frictional resistance.
Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a network card positioning structure according to an embodiment of the present invention in a second mode. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the network card positioning structure of fig. 5 and a second network card positioned by the network card positioning structure. It should be noted that the second network card 400 in fig. 6 is shown by a dotted line to clearly show the network card positioning mechanism 100. Referring to fig. 4 to fig. 6, when an installer wants to replace the first network card 300 with the second network card 400, the installer must first detach the first network card 300 from the housing 210. Next, the first positioning blocks 150 are replaced by selecting the second positioning blocks 160 matching the geometric outline and size of the second network card 400. Next, the step of installing and positioning the second network card 400 is performed, and the step of installing and positioning the second network card 400 is substantially the same as the step of installing and positioning the first network card 300, so the description is not repeated.
Finally, the second positioning block 160 presses against the second network card 400, and the second positioning block 160 is located between the positioning plate 122 and the second network card 400. In addition, the second forward contact portion 161 of the second positioning block 160 is located between the forward positioning portion 1221 and the second network card 400, and contacts the forward positioning portion 1221 and the second network card 400. Second lateral contact portion 162 of second positioning block 160 is located between lateral positioning portion 1222 and second network card 400, and contacts lateral positioning portion 1222 and second network card 400.
Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 6, in the y-axis direction, the lateral thickness W1 of the first network card 300 is greater than the lateral thickness W2 of the second network card 400. Accordingly, the lateral thickness W1 'of the first lateral contact portion 152 of the first positioning block 150 matching with the first network card 300 is smaller than the lateral thickness W2' of the second lateral contact portion 162 of the second positioning block 160 matching with the second network card 400. That is, the structure of the second positioning block 160 is similar to the structure of the first positioning block 150, and the difference is: the lateral thickness W1 'of the first lateral contact 152 is less than the lateral thickness W2' of the second lateral contact 162.
To sum up, the utility model discloses a network card location structure contains two at least locating pieces of unidimensional or different geometric outline, and the installer can select the assorted locating piece according to the size or the geometric outline of network card to the locating plate that makes the carriage passes through the locating piece and presses to the network card, and then fixes a position the network card installation on the casing. Therefore, the utility model discloses a network card location structure can be general in the network card of two at least not unidimensional.
Further, the carriage and the bracket are configured to position the network card to prevent the network card from loosening or sliding on the housing. Because the carriage can slide for the support, installer can adjust the height of locating plate according to the size of network card. For example, the installer can screw the adjusting screw to drive the positioning plate and the positioning block to slide close to the network card and to be tightly pressed on the network card. In addition, the installer can unscrew the adjusting screw to drive the positioning plate and the positioning block to be separated from the network card, and detach the positioning block and the network card. Therefore, the utility model discloses a network card location structure is convenient for the installer operation fairly, helps improving the dismouting efficiency of network card.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
