The transfer support disclosed in the application is used for installing the PCIE card 100, so that the PCIE card 100 is installed on a computer device or other servers.

The stand body 200 is a basic component of the adapting stand, and the stand body 200 is provided with a circuit board 500, specifically, the circuit board 500 is detachably provided on the stand body 200 through a third connector 510, the third connector 510 may be a threaded connector, and the circuit board 500 may be electrically connected with the PCIE card 100, so as to implement communication connection among the PCIE card 100, the circuit board 500 and the computer device. Alternatively, the PCIE cards 100 may be horizontally arranged, and the number of PCIE cards 100 may be plural, and each PCIE card 100 may be stacked in order in the vertical direction.

The first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 are disposed opposite to each other, and the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 are disposed on the bracket body 200, specifically, the bracket body 200 has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, the first bracket 300 is disposed on the first end of the bracket body 200, the second bracket 400 is movably disposed on the second end of the bracket body 200, and the bracket body 200, the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 enclose an installation space for installing the PCIE card 100, so that the size of the installation space is variable, and the PCIE card 100 can be more easily installed in the installation space. Since the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 are disposed opposite to each other, referring to fig. 3, the bracket body 200, the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 form a U-shaped structure, and the PCIE card 100 may be disposed in an installation space enclosed by the U-shaped structure.

Under the condition that the PCIE card 100 is electrically connected to the circuit board 500, that is, under the condition that the PCIE card 100 is disposed in the installation space, the PCIE card 100 is in limit fit with the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400, that is, the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 can limit movement of the PCIE card 100, so that the PCIE card is prevented from being damaged easily due to easy vibration or dropping of the PCIE card in the process of transporting the computer device.

In this application, because the bracket main body 200, the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 can enclose an installation space for installing the PCIE card 100, when the PCIE card 100 is installed in the installation space, the PCIE card 100 may be electrically connected with the circuit board 500 on the bracket main body 200, so as to realize communication between the PCIE card 100 and the circuit board 500, and because the second bracket 400 is movably disposed at the second end of the bracket main body 200, the size of the installation space may be variable, so that the PCIE card 100 is easier to install in the installation space, and meanwhile, in a case where the PCIE card 100 is electrically connected with the circuit board 500, that is, when the PCIE card 100 is disposed in the installation space, the PCIE card 100 is in limit fit with both the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400, that is, both the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 have a constraint effect on the PCIE card 100, which makes the PCIE card 100 more stably disposed in the installation space. Therefore, the switching support disclosed in the application can solve the problem that the PCIE card 100 related to the related art is easy to break.

In addition, the switching support disclosed by the application is simpler in structure and better in constraint effect on PCIE cards. Alternatively, the bracket body 200, the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 may be manufactured by sheet metal processing, so as to reduce the production cost of the adapting bracket.

Optionally, the first bracket 300 has a first surface 310 facing the second bracket 400, and the second bracket 400 has a fourth surface facing the first bracket 300, where, in the case where the PCIE card 100 is electrically connected to the circuit board 500, that is, in the case where the PCIE card 100 is completely mounted, both the fourth surface and the first surface 310 are in a limit fit with the PCIE card 100.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 3, the second bracket 400 has a first side wall 410 and a second side wall 420 that are disposed opposite to each other, the first side wall 410 and the second side wall 420 are connected by a third side wall 430, and the third side wall 430 is disposed towards the circuit board 500, that is, at this time, the second bracket 400 is provided with a limiting slot, the first side wall 410, the second side wall 420 and the third side wall 430 are all inner surfaces of the limiting slot, and the first side wall 410, the third side wall 430 and the second side wall 420 are sequentially connected, so that, in the case that the PCIE card 100 is electrically connected to the circuit board 500, that is, in the case that the PCIE card 100 is mounted, the first surface 310, the first side wall 410, the second side wall 420 and the third side wall 430 are all in a limiting fit with the PCIE card 100, that is, at least part of the PCIE card 100 is located in the limiting slot, so that the first side wall 410, the second side wall 420 and the third side wall 430 can limit the PCIE card 100. It can be seen that in this embodiment, more surface of the second bracket 400 can limit the PCIE card 100, that is, the PCIE card 100 can be effectively supported and limited by the switch bracket provided in more directions, which can play a better role in constraining the PCIE card 100.

Alternatively, to limit the PCIE card 100, the first sidewall 410, the second sidewall 420, and the third sidewall 430 may directly contact the outer surface of the PCIE card 100. When the number of PCIE cards 100 is at least two, each PCIE card 100 may be in abutting contact with a part of the first side wall 410, the second side wall 420 and the third side wall 430, and adjacent PCIE cards 100 may be in spacing fit, so that the first side wall 410, the second side wall 420 and the third side wall 430 together limit the PCIE cards 100.

Alternatively, the heat dissipation holes 460 may not be formed in both the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400.

In another embodiment, the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 are both provided with heat dissipation holes 460, and the heat dissipation holes 460 expose at least a portion of the PCIE card 100, so as to implement heat dissipation of the PCIE card 100, and further ensure that the PCIE card 100 can work normally.

Optionally, under the condition of spacing cooperation of the PCIE card 100 and the second bracket 400, in order to prevent the movable second bracket 400 from separating from the PCIE card 100 in the process of transporting the computer device, that is, in order to prevent the spacing cooperation of the PCIE card 100 and the second bracket 400 from failing, after the PCIE card 100 is installed, the second bracket 400 needs to be fixedly arranged on the bracket main body 200 to limit the movement of the second bracket 400, at this time, the second bracket 400 and the bracket main body 200 can be detachably connected by adopting a threaded connection piece.
