Description

The fixing architecture of expansion module

Technical field

The utility model is about a kind of fixing architecture of expansion module, is meant a kind of fixing architecture of the expander board applicable to different size especially.

Background technology

Computer relevant device, network perimeter or consumption electronic products are all more and more emphasized the function combinations of elastification, just select the expansion card (expansion card) of difference in functionality and be inserted in the expansion slot (expansion slot) of main frame, this expansion card or can be described as expansion module along with user's wish.General expansion module comprises interface card (interface card) and control card (control card), but the action of the interfacing equipment of the conversion of processing signals and control linkage main frame, for example: communication interface card (communicaton interface card), modulation demodulation module card (MODEM card), display card (display card) and network card (network card).

Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of the user mode of a known expansion module.General expansion slot is located at the side of main frame (host) more; on the casing (housing) 15 of protection main frame, be provided with fluting (slot) 151; and expansion module 14 promptly inserts internal body by this fluting (slot) 151; contact (connector) up to the end of expansion module 14 will be entrenched in the slot (socket) 12 of motherboard 11 fully, to carry out the function of being expanded.This expansion module 14 comprises expander board 141 and cover plate (covering plate) 142, and 15 of this cover plate 142 and casings are to lock mutually with screw (screw) 1421.

Usually only hold expander board 141 because of the size of the fluting 151 of casing 15 and insert, and this expander board 141 mostly is long and narrow external form greatly, so be difficult to chimeric fixing by the external alignment slot 12 of casing 15.For the assembler, often to raise the upper cover body (upperhousing) of casing 15, expander board 141 could be pushed slot 12 smoothly so that another hand is auxiliary again, the obviously time-consuming effort again of this kind mode can not be satisfied the demand and often be substituted the use habit of different expansion modules 14.Another kind method is that guide rail 13 is set on motherboard 11, this guide rail 13 is extended to the inboard of casing 15 by slot 12 places, so the dual-side of expander board 141 can be put into the guide groove 131 of guide rail 13 respectively, prolonging guide groove 131 and taking advantage of a situation and just slide and to push easily in the slot 12.So solve aforementioned expansion module 14 really the phenomenon that is difficult for is installed.Yet, but this problem of deriving and making new advances, promptly fixing guide rail 13 is only applicable to the expander board 141 of fixed width with guide groove 131, so can cause compatible not good problem.Under the situation that reality is used, the expansion module 14 that same expansion slot often will be accepted difference in functionality or pattern inserts, to carry out different expanded functions.Technique known is because fixing guide rail, and can't be common to the expansion module of different size.

The utility model content

Fundamental purpose of the present utility model provides a kind of fixing architecture of expansion module, and fixedly the expander board of different in width makes main frame for expansion module better compatibility be arranged.

Another purpose of the present utility model provides a kind of easily fixing fixing architecture of the expander board of different in width, as long as by selecting fixed orifice suitable on the fixed mount, and just fixing expander board.

For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the fixed mount system of expansion module of the present utility model comprises the base plate of a tool plural groups fixed orifice, and a sidepiece of this base plate combines with other end seat is vertical.And having first shoulder and second shoulder to be convexly set in the both sides of this base plate respectively, this first shoulder and second shoulder can be fastened on respectively in the guide rail of expansion slot both sides for expansion module, are convenient to make expansion module to insert the slot of main frame inside along the guiding of guide rail.

Embodiment

Fig. 2 is an embodiment of the fixing architecture of expansion module of the present utility model, and the main structure of this fixing architecture 20 comprises side plate (side panel) 21, base plate 22, first shoulder 23 and second shoulder 24.The mutually vertical combination of the bottom of this side plate 21 and base plate (Base plate) 22, and will lock together admittedly by base plate 22 extended web joints 25 and side plate 21 with solid latch fitting 26.Also jack 212 can be set on this side plate 21, combine with the slot of expansion module in order to various connectors.In addition can be with consolidating latch fitting 211 interlockings, so that the user is tightened fixing architecture 20 in casing 15, as shown in Figure 3 in side plate 21.

The principal character of fixing architecture 20 of the present utility model is to have base plate 22, first shoulder 23 and second shoulder 24.This base plate 22 is provided with two groups of holes, and wherein the area contained of first group of fixed orifice 221 is bigger, be applicable to the expander board of broad, and second group of fixed orifice 222 encloses in first group of fixed orifice 221, so can fix narrower expander board.Certainly the position of fixed orifice will be decided on the expander board of practical application with the group number.Be not limited to the solid lock of screw about the mode of all solid latch fitting combinations, can adopt pin (pin) that expander board is linked with base plate 22 in addition and fix.

Two sidepieces at base plate 22 have first shoulder 23 and second shoulder 24, and the distance of the distance of the outer rim of first shoulder 23 and second shoulder 24 and guide rail 13 cooperatively interacts, and its thickness also need be fit to the width of guide groove 131.As shown in Figure 2, base plate 22, first shoulder 23 and second shoulder 24 are one-body molded and make by sheet metal, are for example made by a metallic plate punching moulding, and the height of this base plate 22 is a little less than this first shoulder 23 and second shoulder 24.

Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram of user mode of the fixing architecture of expansion module of the present utility model.Fixing architecture 20 of the present utility model is an expansion module 30 in conjunction with expander board 31, and this expansion module 30 is inserted the slot 12 of motherboard 11 by the fluting of casing 15.As shown in the figure, the width of this expander board 31 is narrow than the distance of two guide rails 13, and the guide groove 131 that therefore can't directly prolong guide rail 13 is pushed into slot 12.By solid latch fitting 33 and cushion block (washer) 32 expander board 31 is fixed on first group of fixed orifice 221 of base plate 22 and the second group of fixed orifice 222 (with reference to second figure), engage with two guide rails 13 respectively with second shoulder 24 by first shoulder 23 again, so, expansion module 30 just can make narrower expander board 31 insert in the slot 12 easily.The function of this cushion block 32 is the height that makes the position cooperation slot 12 of expander board 31.Other has a kind of expander board 31 two sides all to be welded with electronic component (electroniccomponents) 311, so also need the cushion block 33 of proper height, makes the electronic component 311 unlikely pressures of bottom surface contact base plate 22.At jack 212 places slot (jack) 34 also can be set, be entrenched in slot 34 so that connector (connector) is seen through this jack 212 near side plate 21.

Therefore the fixing expander board of different in width of the utility model makes main frame for expansion module better compatibility be arranged.Just can allow the expansion module of difference in functionality use identical slide rail and slot, the expander board that does not need to ask all has the same width, and then reaches the greatest benefit of producing with use.
