Detailed Description

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, fig. 4 and fig. 5, wherein fig. 1 illustrates a schematic perspective view of a housing 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 illustrates an exploded schematic view of the housing 100 according to the embodiment of fig. 1, fig. 3 illustrates a schematic perspective view of a rotating mechanism 130 according to the embodiment of fig. 1, fig. 4 illustrates a side view of the rotating mechanism according to the embodiment of fig. 3, and fig. 5 illustrates a side view of a rotating plate 131 according to the embodiment of fig. 3. As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the housing 100 includes a housing main body 110, a front cover 120 and a rotating mechanism 130. The housing body 110 includes an upper wall 111, two sidewalls 112 and a bottom wall 113. The upper wall 111, the two side walls 112 and the bottom wall 113 are connected to form an accommodating space for accommodating a motherboard module. The front cover 120 is movably covered on the housing body 110 to close the accommodating space, and the front cover 120 includes a side plate 121. The rotating mechanism 130 includes a rotating plate 131, a first rotating shaft 134, a second rotating shaft 135 and a connecting rod 136. The rotating plate 131 is pivotally disposed on a side wall 112 at a pivot point and disposed between the side wall 112 and the side plate 121, and the rotating plate 131 includes a first rotating groove 132 and a second rotating groove 133. The first rotating slot 132 is located on a first surface 1311 of the rotating plate 131 close to the sidewall 112, and the shape of the first rotating slot 132 is an arc shape with the pivot point as a center. The second rotating groove 133 is located on a second surface 1312 of the rotating plate 131 close to the side plate 121, wherein the second rotating groove 133 has a rotating section 1331 and a straight section 1332, the rotating section 1331 is closer to the pivot point than the straight section 1332, and the rotating section 1331 and the straight section 1332 form a first included angle θ 1, so that the second rotating groove 133 is bent. The first rotating shaft 134 is slidably retained in the first rotating groove 132. The second rotation shaft 135 is disposed on the side plate 121 and slidably limits the second rotation groove 133. One end of the connecting rod 136 is pivotally disposed on the first rotating shaft 134 and the other end is pivotally disposed on the second rotating shaft 135. When the front cover 120 is pulled by an external force, the front cover 120 drives the second rotating shaft 135 to slide relative to the second rotating groove 133, and drives the rotating plate 131 to rotate around the pivot point, and the first rotating shaft 134 moves relative to the first rotating groove 132, so that the front cover 120 is opened to form an obtuse angle with the side wall 112.

Through the configuration of the rotating mechanism 130, the front cover 120 that is forced to open can rotate relative to the pivot point, so that the side plate 121 of the front cover 120 and the side wall 112 form an obtuse angle, thereby preventing the electronic components, such as fans and LED lamp sets, arranged on the front cover 120 from shielding the accommodating space, and further enabling the motherboard module to be smoothly drawn out or loaded from the accommodating space without first detaching the front cover 120 from the housing main body 110 and then drawing out or loading the motherboard module. Therefore, the fluency of maintenance or installation operation can be improved.

Specifically, the rotating plate 131 is a hollow plate structure and includes a first surface 1311 and a second surface 1312 opposite to each other, the first surface 1311 has a pivot hole 1313, and the pivot hole 1313 is close to a lower edge of the first surface 1311 and located at a center of the first rotating groove 132. Further, the first rotating slot 132 is an arc slot with the center point of the pivot hole 1313 as the center. The rotating plate 131 further includes a pivot 1314 disposed in the pivot hole 1313 and pivotally disposed on the side wall 112, such that the rotating plate 131 is pivotally disposed on the side wall 112 at a pivot point, and the rotating plate 131 can rotate around the pivot point. In detail, the pivot point is the center point of the pivot hole 1313 and the pivot 1314. Furthermore, the first rotating shaft 134 and the second rotating shaft 135 are screws, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The connecting rod 136 is disposed between the first surface 1311 and the second surface 1312 and located in the hollow cavity of the rotating plate 131. The connecting rod 136 is shaped like a zigzag, such that a height difference exists between one end of the connecting rod 136 pivotally disposed on the first rotating shaft 134 and the other end of the connecting rod 136 pivotally disposed on the second rotating shaft 135, whereby the head of the second rotating shaft 135 can be accommodated between the connecting rod 136 and the first surface 1311. Thereby, the volume of the rotating plate 131 can be reduced.

Referring to fig. 6 and fig. 7 in combination, fig. 6 is a partial schematic view of the housing 100 according to the embodiment of fig. 1, and fig. 7 is an operation schematic view of the front cover 120 and the rotating mechanism 130 according to the embodiment of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the rotating section 1331 is shaped like an arc, and one end of the rotating section 1331 is integrally connected to the straight section 1332, and the straight section 1332 extends linearly from the one end of the rotating section 1331. As shown in fig. 7, when the front cover 120 is pulled to be opened by an external force, the front cover 120 drives the second rotating shaft 135 to slide relative to the second rotating groove 133, so that the moving track of the front cover 120 moves along the track direction of the second rotating groove 133. When the second rotating shaft 135 slides in the rotating section 1331, the connecting rod 136 simultaneously drives the first rotating shaft 134 to move relative to the first rotating groove 132, so that the rotating plate 131 rotates around the pivot point, thereby driving the front cover 120 to rotate around the pivot point. When the second rotating shaft 135 slides along the track of the second rotating groove 133 to the straight section 1332, the front cover 120 moves along the track of the straight section 1332 in a direction away from the housing main body 110, such that the upper edge and the lower edge of the front cover 120 are both away from the housing main body 110, further, the front cover 120 is pulled away upward relative to the pivot point, and when the second rotating shaft 135 slides to the end point of the straight section 1332, the connecting rod 136 continuously drives the first rotating shaft 134 to move relative to the first rotating groove 132, such that the front cover 120 rotates around the pivot point, and the second rotating shaft 135 slides back, such that the front cover 120 and the side wall 112 form an obtuse angle. Therefore, the front cover 120 may not cover the accommodating space at all, so that the housing 100 may perform the operation of removing or installing the motherboard module without removing the front cover 120. As shown in fig. 6, the bottom wall 113 may have a sliding groove 1131 for the rotation mechanism 130 to pass through. Specifically, during the process that the front cover 120 is forced to rotate and drive the rotating mechanism 130 to rotate, the rotating plate 131 and the connecting rod 136 partially pass through the sliding groove 1131 and are exposed out of the bottom wall 113 during the rotation. Thereby, the smoothness of the rotation of the front cover 120 can be improved.

Specifically, the first included angle θ 1 between the rotating section 1331 and the straight section 1332 may be 116 degrees, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the front cover 120 can be prevented from abutting against the bottom wall 113 during rotation, and the smoothness of rotation of the front cover 120 is reduced.

Further, the number of the rotating mechanisms 130 can be two, and the rotating mechanisms are respectively pivoted to the two side walls 112, and the present invention is not limited to the number disclosed in the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, the upper wall 111 may include a fastening hole 1111, the front cover 120 may include a fastening portion 122, the fastening portion 122 is located at an upper edge of the front cover 120, and the fastening portion 122 is configured to be fastened to the fastening hole 1111. Specifically, the locking portion 122 can fix the front cover 120 at a closed position when the front cover 120 covers the housing body 110 and closes the accommodating space, thereby improving the stability of the front cover 120 in use.

Further, the housing 100 may further include a positioning structure 150, which includes a position-limiting groove 151 and a position-limiting shaft 152. The limiting groove 151 is disposed on the rotating plate 131 and located on the second surface 1312 of the rotating plate 131, the limiting groove 151 has a straight limiting section 1512 and a rotation limiting section 1511, wherein the rotation limiting section 1511 is closer to the pivot point than the straight limiting section 1512, and the rotation limiting section 1511 and the straight limiting section 1512 form a second included angle θ 2, and the second included angle θ 2 is equal to the first included angle θ 1. The limiting shaft 152 is pivotally connected to the front cover 120 and slidably limited in the limiting groove 151. By providing the limiting groove 151 and the limiting shaft 152 on the rotating plate 131, the side plate 121 of the front cover 120 can be limited, thereby preventing the side plate 121 from rotating relative to the rotating plate 131, and improving the stability of the rotation of the front cover 120. In detail, the shape of the limiting groove 151 is the same as that of the second rotating groove 133, the limiting groove 151 and the second rotating groove 133 are disposed in parallel on the second surface 1312, and the limiting shaft 152 may be a screw, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the positioning structure is used to fix the relative position of the front cover and the rotating mechanism, and is not limited to the above-mentioned disclosed structure.

Referring to fig. 8A and 8B, fig. 8A is a partial schematic view of a motherboard system 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8B is a schematic view of the motherboard system 10 according to the embodiment of fig. 8A with a front cover 120a opened. As shown in fig. 8A and 8B, the motherboard system 10 includes a housing, a motherboard module, and a plurality of electronic components 200. The housing body 110a, the front cover 120a and the rotating mechanism 130a of the housing may be the same as the housing body 110, the front cover 120 and the rotating mechanism 130 of the embodiment in fig. 1, and are not described herein again. The motherboard module is accommodated in the accommodating space of the housing main body 110 a. The electronic component 200 is disposed inside the front cover 120 a. By the configuration of the rotating mechanism 130a, the front cover 120a can be opened and form an obtuse angle with the side wall of the housing body 110a, so as to avoid the electronic component 200 disposed on the front cover 120a from obstructing the operation of drawing or mounting the motherboard module, and the electronic component 200 disposed on the front cover 120a can be cleaned or maintained without detaching the front cover 120 a. Therefore, the smoothness of maintaining the motherboard system 10 can be improved.

Specifically, the motherboard system 10 may be a server host system electronic component 200, which may be a fan component. After the user opens the front cover 120a, the electronic component 200 can be cleaned without removing the front cover 120a, and the flow of removing or installing the motherboard module can be performed without removing the electronic component 200, which is convenient for the user to perform maintenance operation.

In conclusion, the novel solar water heater has the following advantages: first, through the configuration of the rotating mechanism, the operation of drawing or installing the mainboard module can be carried out under the condition of not removing the front cover. And secondly, the rotation of the front cover can be avoided through the positioning structure.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
