In addition, the second stop bump 276 may stop on one side of the first stop bump 275. As shown in fig. 6, when the operating portion 272 is pulled along an unlocking direction D to be located at the unlocking position, the first pushing protrusion 273 is separated from the supporting member 270, so that the supporting member 270 can slide relative to the bracket 260. In addition, the second stop bump 276 is separated from the first stop bump 275.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, one side of the expansion card 20 is horizontally installed through a mounting frame body 160 of the casing 100, and the other side of the expansion card 20 is clamped by two supporting members 270 of the supporting assembly 200. The expansion card 20 is, for example, a display card.

The support assembly 200 of the present utility model can also support the expansion card 20 mounted vertically. Referring to fig. 6 and 7, fig. 7 is a partially enlarged view of a perspective view of an expansion card of fig. 1 with a chassis support mounted vertically. The two support members 270 can also be adjusted to the unlocked position as shown in fig. 6, and then slid to the desired position on the bracket 260. The two support members 270 are positioned by being slid to the desired position and then readjusted to the locked position. As such, as shown in fig. 7, the two supporting members 270 of the supporting assembly 200 according to the present utility model can be changed to clamp the expansion card 20 installed vertically.

In addition, referring to fig. 3, 4 and 8, fig. 8 is a schematic operation diagram of the supporting component of the housing in fig. 1. When the support assembly 200 blocks the light emitted from the light emitting cable connected to the expansion card 20, the bracket 260 can rotate along a rotation direction R along a third axial direction Z relative to the slider 220, so as to prevent the support assembly 200 from blocking the light emitted from the light emitting cable. In addition, the support position of the support 270 may be changed according to the size or shape of the expansion card 20. Specifically, the slider 220 is slid in the first axial direction X, and the positioning piece 214 is changed to be positioned in the other positioning hole 143. In this way, the supporting position of the supporting member 270 can be changed. It should be noted that the rotation of the bracket 260 relative to the slider 220 can also be used to fine tune the supporting position of the supporting member 270. The sliding of the slider 220 and the positioning position of the positioning member 214 can also be used to prevent the support assembly 200 from blocking the light emitted by the light emitting cable.

According to the casing and the supporting component disclosed in the above embodiments, the bracket is rotatably disposed on the assembly frame. Therefore, the supporting piece arranged on the bracket can rotate to different angles relative to the assembling frame. Therefore, a user can flexibly adjust the position of the support member according to actual requirements, and the support member can stably support the display card while not shielding light emitted by the light emitting cable.

Although the present utility model has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited thereto, but rather may be modified or altered somewhat by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
