The display card is inserted into the bus slot through the golden finger to transmit signals with the motherboard.

With the development of technology, the demands for graphic display and image recognition are increasing, so the demands for operation performance of display cards are also increasing. Generally, the display card generally has an enlarged overall size to accommodate more memory and a heat dissipation module to enhance the operation performance, but the size and weight of the display card are increased. The display card is connected with the bus slot on the motherboard only through the golden finger, that is, the bus slot needs to bear all the weight of the display card, so that the stress of the interface card in the bus slot is increased. Therefore, the computer device develops an interface card fixing element to assist in fixing the display card.

In the conventional interface card fixing element, the display card is mostly fixed by clamping the thickness of the display card and locking the display card by screws, that is, the display card must be installed and fixed by other tools.

FIG. 2 is a combination diagram of the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 according to FIG. 1 at another view angle. Fig. 3 shows an exploded view of the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 according to fig. 1. The adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 of the present utility model is used for fixing the interface card of a computer device. As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 includes a fixing member 11, an adjusting member 12 and a fastening member 13. The adjusting member 12 is movably disposed on the fixing member 11, and the fastening member 13 is used for fixing the positions of the fixing member 11 and the adjusting member 12.

In this embodiment, the fixing member 11 includes a fixing plate 111 and a lower jaw 112, and the lower jaw 112 is disposed to extend outwardly from one side of the fixing plate 111. As shown in the drawing, the fixing member 11 is substantially L-shaped. The fixing plate 111 may be an elongated metal plate, and the lower jaw 112 extends perpendicularly outward from one end of the fixing plate 111. In practice, the fixing plate 111 and the lower clamping jaw 112 may be integrally formed, and the lower clamping jaw 112 may be formed by punching and bending the fixing plate 111, but is not limited thereto. The lower clamping jaw can be arranged on the fixed plate through other connection modes such as locking, clamping and the like.

In this embodiment, the adjusting member 12 includes a movable plate 121 and an upper jaw 122, and the movable plate 121 has a guide structure 1211. As shown in the figures, the regulator 12 is generally L-shaped in shape. The movable plate 121 may be a long metal plate, and the upper clamping jaw 122 extends perpendicularly and outwardly from one end of the movable plate 121, and the upper clamping jaw 122 and the lower clamping jaw 112 are located at the same side and are opposite to each other. The guide structure 1211 is located at the other end of the movable plate 121 and opposite to the upper jaw 122. The guide structure 1211 may be a sleeve structure, and the size of the sleeve structure may correspond to the size of the fixing plate 111. The guiding structure 1211 may be sleeved on the fixing plate 111 from an end of the fixing plate 111 opposite to the lower clamping jaw 112. Accordingly, the guide structure 1211 can be moved along the fixing plate 111 in a direction approaching the lower jaw 112 or moving away from the lower jaw 112 (as indicated by an arrow in fig. 2). That is, the movable plate 121 can move on the fixed plate 111 through the guiding structure 1211 to extend or shorten the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1, so as to drive the upper clamping jaw 122 and the lower clamping jaw 112 to open or close.

In practice, the movable plate 121 and the upper clamping jaw 122 may be integrally formed, and the upper clamping jaw 122 may be formed by punching and bending the movable plate 121, but is not limited thereto. The upper clamping jaw can also be arranged on the movable plate through other connection modes such as locking, clamping and the like.

In this embodiment, the fastener 13 includes a fixed post 131, a circular shaft 132, and a cam member 133. One end of the fixed column 131 is disposed on the movable plate 121, the circular shaft 132 is disposed at the other end of the fixed column 131, and the cam member 133 is pivotally connected to the circular shaft 132. As shown in the drawing, one end of the fixed post 131 is fixed to the other side of the movable plate 121 with respect to the upper jaw 122. And the other end of the fixed column 131 is connected to the center of the side of the circular shaft 132. The circular shaft 132 and the movable plate 121 are parallel to each other, and the axial center of the circular shaft 132 and the moving direction of the movable plate 121 are perpendicular to each other. The cam member 133 may include a through hole 1330 pivotally connected to the circular shaft 132, and may rotate about the circular shaft 132 through the through hole 1330 (as shown in fig. 1).

Further, after the fastener 13 is disposed on the adjusting member 12, a gap is formed between the cam member 133 and the movable plate 121 for accommodating the fixed plate 111. As shown in fig. 1, when the movable plate 121 of the adjusting member 12 is sleeved on the fixed plate 111 through the guiding structure 1211, the fixed plate 111 can pass through the gap and be located between the cam member 133 of the fastener 13 and the movable plate 121. In addition, in the present embodiment, the fixing plate 111 further includes an elongated hole 1111, and the position of the elongated hole 1111 corresponds to the position of the fixing post 131 of the fastener 13. When the adjusting member 12 moves on the fixing member 11, the fixing post 131 can move along with the adjusting member 12 in the elongated hole 1111 to avoid causing interference.

As shown in the drawing, when the cam member 133 is rotated or pulled toward the upper jaw 122, the cam structure 1331 of the cam member 133 faces the gap and the movable plate 121, and this state is a locked state or a fixed state of the fastener 13. When the cam member 133 is rotated or pulled in the direction of the lower jaw 112, the flat portion 1332 of the cam member 133 faces the gap and the movable plate 121, and this state is the unlocked state or the released state of the fastener 13.

Further, in the present embodiment, the fixing plate 111 of the fixing member 11 has a thickness. When the fastener 13 is in the locked state, the distance of the gap between the cam structure 1331 of the fastener 13 and the movable plate 121 is smaller than the thickness of the fixed plate 111. That is, the fixing plate 111 is clamped and fixed between the movable plate 121 and the fastening member 13 to fix the adjusting member 12 and the fixing member 11. And when the fastener 13 is in the unlocked state, the distance of the gap between the flat surface portion 1332 of the fastener 13 and the movable plate 121 is greater than the thickness of the fixed plate 111. That is, the fixed plate 111 will not be limited by the movable plate 121 and the fastening member 13, and the adjusting member 12 can still move on the fixed member 11.

Please refer to fig. 1 to fig. 4 together. Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of an adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 for fixing an interface card 91 according to an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in practical application, after the interface card 91 is inserted into the bus slot on the circuit board, the lower clamping jaw 112 of the fixing member 11 of the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 may contact (or abut against) the bottom surface 912 of the interface card 91. Then, the adjusting member 12 moves on the fixing member 11 through the guiding structure 1211 so that the upper clamping jaw 122 of the adjusting member 12 contacts (or abuts against) the top surface 911 of the interface card 91. Finally, the fastener 13 is pulled to the locking state, so that the lower clamping jaw 112 of the fixing element 11 and the upper clamping jaw 122 of the adjusting element 12 continuously contact the top surface 911 and the bottom surface 912 of the interface card 91, and the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 fixes the interface card 91. Therefore, the adjustable interface card fixing structure of the utility model can adjust the distance between the upper clamping jaw and the lower clamping jaw through the fixing piece and the adjusting piece so as to respond to interface cards with different sizes, thereby improving the practicability. In addition, the adjustable interface card fixing structure of the utility model can directly fix the fixing piece and the adjusting piece through the fastener without adjusting the clamping and fixing positions through tools, thereby improving the convenience and the installation efficiency.

In this embodiment, the fixing plate 111 of the fixing member 11 further includes a fixing hole 1112. The fixing hole 1112 is used for fixing the fixing member 11 to the housing of the computer device by screw locking. As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 4, the fixing hole 1112 is located between the fixing plate 111 and the lower jaw 112, but is not limited thereto in practice. The number of the fixing holes 1112 may also be determined according to design or requirements. When the fixing member 11 is fixed to the housing through the fixing hole 1112 and the screw, the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 can clamp the interface card 91 and serve as a supporting point for the interface card 91, thereby preventing the interface card 91 from moving up and down and dispersing the stress of the interface card 91 in the bus slot.

As shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 further includes a guide groove element 14 disposed on the movable plate 121 of the adjusting member 12 and located on the same side as the upper clamping jaw 122 and the lower clamping jaw 112. The channel member 14 includes a channel structure 141 for receiving a side 913 of the interface card 91. As shown in fig. 4, when the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 fixes the end of the interface card 91, besides the lower clamping jaw 112 of the fixing member 11 and the upper clamping jaw 122 of the adjusting member 12 can clamp the top surface 911 and the bottom surface 912 of the interface card 91, the side 913 of the interface card 91 between the top surface 911 and the bottom surface 912 can also be embedded into the guide groove structure 141 of the guide groove element 14 to prevent the interface card 91 from moving and swinging left and right, thereby improving the stability.

In this embodiment, the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 further includes two buffer elements 15 respectively disposed on the lower clamping jaw 112 and the upper clamping jaw 122. In practice, the material of the buffer element 15 may be rubber, foam, sponge or other soft materials. When the adjustable interface card 91 is clamped by the interface card fixing structure 1, the lower clamping jaw 112 and the upper clamping jaw 122 can contact and abut against the top surface 911 and the bottom surface 912 of the interface card 91 through the buffer element 15. Therefore, the interface card 91 is not damaged by the clamping force generated by the lower clamping jaw 112 and the upper clamping jaw 122, thereby improving the practicability.

The adjustable interface card fixing structure of the present utility model can be other installation modes besides the installation modes of the foregoing embodiments. Please refer to fig. 5. Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of an adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 for fixing an interface card 91 according to an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in fig. 5, the difference between the present embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 of the present embodiment is rotated by 90 degrees horizontally and then clamps and fixes the interface card 91. In practical applications, when the interface card 91 is installed in a computer device and the installation space of the side edge of the interface card 91 is insufficient, the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 of the present utility model can rotate by an angle. At this time, the lower clamping jaw 112 and the upper clamping jaw 122 still clamp the top surface 911 and the bottom surface 912 of the interface card 91, thereby fixing the interface card.

Please refer to fig. 6. Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of an adjustable interface card 1 fixing structure fixing interface card 91 according to an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in fig. 6, the present embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that the present embodiment clamps and fixes the interface card 91 through two adjustable interface card fixing structures 1. In practical applications, when the length of the interface card 91 is large, the two adjustable interface card fixing structures 1 clamp and fix the interface card 91 at the end of the interface card 91 and the middle of the interface card 91 respectively. As shown in the figure, one of the adjustable interface card fixing structures 1 may be disposed in such a way that the guide groove element 14 faces the side edge of the interface card 91, so that the adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 can simultaneously clamp and support the top surface 911, the bottom surface 912 and the side edge 913 of the interface card 91. The other adjustable interface card fixing structure 1 can horizontally rotate 90 degrees and clamp the top surface 911 and the bottom surface 912 of the interface card 91, thereby improving stability.

In summary, the adjustable interface card fixing structure of the present utility model can adjust the distance between the upper clamping jaw and the lower clamping jaw through the fixing member and the adjusting member, so as to correspond to the interface cards with different sizes, thereby improving the practicability. In addition, the adjustable interface card fixing structure of the utility model can directly fix the fixing piece and the adjusting piece through the fastener without adjusting the clamping and fixing positions through tools, thereby improving the convenience and the installation efficiency. Furthermore, the adjustable interface card fixing structure of the utility model can prevent the interface card from moving left and right and swinging through the guide groove element, thereby improving the stability. In addition, the adjustable interface card fixing structure of the utility model can also protect the interface card from being damaged by clamping force generated by the lower clamping jaw and the upper clamping jaw through the buffer element, and has a plurality of different mounting modes, thereby improving the practicability.

In view of the foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments, it is intended that the features and spirit of the utility model be more clearly described rather than limiting the scope of the utility model as defined by the preferred embodiments. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the utility model as defined by the appended claims.
