Description

本発明は、情報機器の機能や性能を向上させる目的で用いられる拡張用ボードの取付構造に関する。   The present invention relates to an expansion board mounting structure used for the purpose of improving the function and performance of information equipment.

パーソナルコンピュータ等の情報機器においては、標準的に組み込まれているシステム構成以外に機能や性能を向上させる目的で、必要に応じて機能拡張要素を選択的に装着することができるようにしたものがある。例えば、選択的に装着することができる機能拡張要素としては、ネットワーク・アダプタなどの拡張用ボードが知られている。このような拡張用ボードの一種に、ＰＣＩ（Peripheral Component Interconnect）バスに対応したＰＣＩボードがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   Some information devices such as personal computers can be selectively equipped with function expansion elements as needed for the purpose of improving functions and performance in addition to the standard built-in system configuration. is there. For example, as a function expansion element that can be selectively mounted, an expansion board such as a network adapter is known. One type of expansion board is a PCI board that supports a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

このようなＰＣＩボードは、マザーボード等に設けられた拡張スロットに装着されることにより、各種の機能（例えば、グラフィック機能、サウンド機能、ネットワーク機能、その他のインタフェース機能等）を追加する。拡張スロットは、ＰＣＩボードを取り付けるための挿し込み口で、バスに直結している。   Such a PCI board is added to an expansion slot provided on a motherboard or the like, thereby adding various functions (for example, a graphic function, a sound function, a network function, and other interface functions). The expansion slot is an insertion slot for attaching a PCI board, and is directly connected to the bus.

ここで、図６はＰＣＩボード１００を概略的に示す斜視図、図７は本体ハウジング２００の取付部２０１近傍を示す斜視図、図８は本体ハウジング２００に取り付けられたＰＣＩボード１００を示す斜視図である。図６に示すように、ＰＣＩボード１００は、その端部に取り付けられている金属製の固定用金具であるリアパネル１０１により、本体ハウジング２００に固定される。なお、１０２はＰＣＩボード１００に設けられた外部コネクタ、１０３は拡張スロットへの挿入部である。このようなＰＣＩボード１００は、図７に示す本体ハウジング２００に形成されている取付部２０１に取り付けられる。取付部２０１は、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１を挿入するための切欠２０２とＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１を固定するためのネジ孔２０３とで構成されている。図７に示す取付部２０１は、２つのＰＣＩボード１００を取り付け可能な構成になっている。このようなリアパネル１０１を本体ハウジング２００に固定するには、図８に示すように、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１を取付部２０１の切欠き２０２に嵌め込んだ後、リアパネル１０１に形成されている屈曲部分１０１ａの固定孔１０１ｂと取付部２０１のネジ孔２０３とをネジ３００で締め付けるようにしている。   6 is a perspective view schematically showing the PCI board 100, FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the vicinity of the attachment portion 201 of the main body housing 200, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the PCI board 100 attached to the main body housing 200. It is. As shown in FIG. 6, the PCI board 100 is fixed to the main body housing 200 by a rear panel 101 that is a metal fixing bracket attached to an end portion thereof. Reference numeral 102 denotes an external connector provided on the PCI board 100, and reference numeral 103 denotes an insertion portion into an expansion slot. Such a PCI board 100 is attached to the attachment part 201 formed in the main body housing 200 shown in FIG. The mounting portion 201 includes a notch 202 for inserting the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 and a screw hole 203 for fixing the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100. The mounting part 201 shown in FIG. 7 is configured to be able to mount two PCI boards 100. In order to fix the rear panel 101 to the main body housing 200, as shown in FIG. 8, after the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 is fitted into the notch 202 of the mounting portion 201, the bending formed in the rear panel 101 is performed. The fixing hole 101b of the portion 101a and the screw hole 203 of the mounting portion 201 are tightened with the screw 300.

なお、図８に示すように、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１は、本体ハウジング２００に固定するのに用いられるほか、ＰＣＩボード１００に設けられた外部コネクタ１０２と本体ハウジング２００との隙間を塞ぐ役割も担っている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 is used for fixing to the main body housing 200, and also serves to close a gap between the external connector 102 provided on the PCI board 100 and the main body housing 200. I'm in charge.

ところで、図８に示すように、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１を本体ハウジング２００の切欠き２０２に嵌め込んだ状態では、外観に開口部分ｘが残る。このような開口部分ｘが開口した状態のままでは、開口部分ｘから塵や埃等が侵入してしまい、ＰＣＩボード１００上の電子部品に悪影響を及ぼす恐れがある。   By the way, as shown in FIG. 8, when the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 is fitted in the notch 202 of the main body housing 200, the opening portion x remains in the appearance. If such an opening portion x remains open, dust, dust, or the like may enter from the opening portion x, which may adversely affect electronic components on the PCI board 100.

そこで、従来においては、図９に示すようなカバー部材３０１を構成する閉塞面３０１ａを用いて開口部分ｘを隠すようにしている。このようなカバー部材３０１を本体ハウジング２００に固定するには、図１０に示すように、ネジ３０３でカバー部材３０１に形成されているネジ孔３０２と取付部２０１のネジ孔２０４（図７参照）とを締め付けるようにしている。なお、カバー部材３０１には、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１と本体ハウジング２００の取付部２０１とのネジ３００による固定部分を収納する収納部３０１ｂも形成されている。このカバー部材３０１の収納部３０１ｂによりＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１と本体ハウジング２００の取付部２０１とのネジ３００による固定部分を収納することで、美観に優れた外観を得ることができるとともに、安全性を確保することができる。   Therefore, conventionally, the opening portion x is hidden by using a closing surface 301a constituting the cover member 301 as shown in FIG. In order to fix such a cover member 301 to the main body housing 200, as shown in FIG. 10, a screw hole 302 formed in the cover member 301 with a screw 303 and a screw hole 204 of the mounting portion 201 (see FIG. 7). And tighten. The cover member 301 is also formed with a storage portion 301b for storing a fixed portion of the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 and the mounting portion 201 of the main body housing 200 by screws 300. By storing the fixing portion of the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 and the mounting portion 201 of the main body housing 200 with the screw 300 by the storage portion 301b of the cover member 301, an appearance with an aesthetic appearance can be obtained and safety can be obtained. Can be secured.

しかしながら、図６ないし図１０に示したような情報機器のＰＣＩボード取付構造によれば、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１と本体ハウジング２００の取付部２０１とをネジ３００により固定しているため、ＰＣＩボード１００が１枚の場合にはネジ３００が１個、ＰＣＩボード１００が２枚の場合にはネジ３００が２個というように、ＰＣＩボード１００の数量分の取付け用のネジ３００が必要である。   However, according to the PCI board mounting structure of the information device as shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, since the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 and the mounting portion 201 of the main body housing 200 are fixed by the screws 300, the PCI board The number of screws 300 for the number of the PCI boards 100 is required, such as one screw 300 when the number is 100, and two screws 300 when the number of the PCI boards 100 is two.

すなわち、従来のＰＣＩボード取付構造によれば、部品点数が増える、取付け用のネジ３００を付属品として付属しなければならない等の問題がある。   That is, according to the conventional PCI board mounting structure, there are problems such as an increase in the number of parts and attachment of the mounting screw 300 as an accessory.

なお、取付け用のネジ３００を用いずに、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１を取付部２０１の切欠２０２に嵌め込むだけで保持するようにすることも考えられるが、この場合には、ＰＣＩボード１００のリアパネル１０１と本体ハウジング２００との接触が不十分になりやすく、帯電した静電気を本体ハウジング２００側に落とすことができない等の不具合が発生する恐れがある。   Note that it is possible to hold the rear panel 101 of the PCI board 100 by simply fitting it into the notch 202 of the mounting portion 201 without using the mounting screw 300. Contact between the rear panel 101 and the main body housing 200 tends to be insufficient, and there is a risk that problems such as inability to drop charged static electricity to the main body housing 200 side may occur.

本発明は、情報機器の機能や性能を向上させる目的で用いられる拡張用ボードを情報機器の本体ハウジングに対して取り付けるにあたり、部品点数及び組立工数の削減を図ることを目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to reduce the number of parts and the number of assembling steps when an expansion board used for the purpose of improving the function and performance of an information device is attached to a main body housing of the information device.

本発明は、情報機器の機能や性能を向上させる目的で用いられる拡張用ボードを前記情報機器の本体ハウジングに対して取り付ける拡張用ボードの取付構造において、前記本体ハウジングに設けられていて、前記拡張用ボードの端部に取り付けられている固定用金具の挿脱を受け付ける切欠きと、前記固定用金具に設けられている当該ボードの固定のための固定孔に対応して設けられて当該固定孔に対して挿脱自在な係止爪と前記固定用金具が前記切欠きに挿入されている状態で前記切欠きに形成される開口部分を閉塞する閉塞部とを有する取付部材と、前記固定用金具が前記切欠きに挿入されている状態では前記固定孔に対応する位置に設けられていて前記取付部材の前記係止爪の挿脱を許容する孔を有し、前記本体ハウジングの前記切欠きを跨いで形成されている係止部と、前記取付部材と前記係止部とを着脱自在に係止する係止部材と、を備える。   The present invention provides an expansion board mounting structure in which an expansion board used for the purpose of improving the function and performance of an information device is attached to the main body housing of the information device. A fixing hole provided in correspondence with a notch for accepting insertion / removal of a fixing bracket attached to an end of the board for fixing, and a fixing hole for fixing the board provided in the fixing bracket. An attachment member having a locking claw removably inserted into the notch and a closing portion for closing an opening formed in the notch in a state where the fixing metal fitting is inserted into the notch, and the fixing In a state in which the metal fitting is inserted into the notch, the fitting has a hole provided at a position corresponding to the fixing hole and allows insertion and removal of the locking claw of the mounting member, and the notch of the main body housing Comprising a locking portion which is across in form, and a locking member for locking detachably and said mounting member and the locking portion.

本発明によれば、拡張用ボードの固定用金具毎にネジを用いなくても拡張用ボードの固定用金具と本体ハウジングとを確実に接触させた状態で固定用金具を本体ハウジングに固定することができるので、部品点数及び組立工数の削減を図ることができる。   According to the present invention, the fixing bracket is fixed to the main body housing in a state in which the fixing bracket of the expansion board and the main body housing are securely in contact with each other without using a screw for each fixing bracket of the expansion board. Therefore, the number of parts and the number of assembly steps can be reduced.

本発明の実施の一形態を図１ないし図５に基づいて説明する。本実施の形態は、情報機器としてパーソナルコンピュータを適用した例である。   An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is an example in which a personal computer is applied as an information device.

ここで、図１はパーソナルコンピュータ１の背面を示す斜視図である。図１に示すように、パーソナルコンピュータ１の本体ハウジング２の背面には、拡張用ボードの一種であるＰＣＩ（Peripheral Component Interconnect）ボード３の取り付けに用いるボード取付部４が設けられている。ＰＣＩボード３は、ボード取付部４において取付部材５を用いて本体ハウジング２に固定される。１３は、取付部材５をボード取付部４に固定するネジである。   Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the back of the personal computer 1. As shown in FIG. 1, a board mounting portion 4 used for mounting a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) board 3, which is a kind of expansion board, is provided on the back surface of the main body housing 2 of the personal computer 1. The PCI board 3 is fixed to the main body housing 2 by using a mounting member 5 at the board mounting portion 4. Reference numeral 13 denotes a screw for fixing the attachment member 5 to the board attachment portion 4.

ここで、図２はＰＣＩボード３を概略的に示す斜視図である。図２に示すように、ＰＣＩボード３は、その端部に取り付けられている金属製の固定用金具であるリアパネル６により、本体ハウジング２に固定される。なお、７はＰＣＩボード３に設けられた外部コネクタ、８は本体ハウジング２内のマザーボード等に設けられた拡張スロット（図示せず）への挿入部である。ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６には、Ｌ字形状に屈曲形成された取付部６ａが設けられている。この取付部６ａには、ＰＣＩボード３の固定のための固定孔６ｂが形成されている。   Here, FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the PCI board 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the PCI board 3 is fixed to the main body housing 2 by a rear panel 6 that is a metal fixing bracket attached to an end portion of the PCI board 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes an external connector provided on the PCI board 3, and 8 denotes an insertion portion to an expansion slot (not shown) provided on a motherboard or the like in the main body housing 2. The rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 is provided with a mounting portion 6a bent in an L shape. A fixing hole 6b for fixing the PCI board 3 is formed in the mounting portion 6a.

次に、上述したようなＰＣＩボード３の本体ハウジング２に対する取付構造について詳述する。   Next, the mounting structure of the PCI board 3 to the main body housing 2 as described above will be described in detail.

図３は本体ハウジング２のボード取付部４の近傍を示す斜視図、図４は本体ハウジング２に取り付けられたＰＣＩボード３を示す斜視図である。図３に示すように、本体ハウジング２のボード取付部４には、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６を嵌め込むための切欠き４ａと、この切欠き４ａを跨いで形成されている係止部４ｂとが設けられている。係止部４ｂには、ネジ孔９も形成されている。さらに、係止部４ｂには、取付部材５の係止爪１０（図５参照）が嵌め込まれるスリット状の孔１２が形成されている。そして、図４に示すように、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６が、ボード取付部４の切欠き４ａに嵌め込まれる。なお、図４に示すように、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６を本体ハウジング２の切欠き４ａに嵌め込んだ状態では、外観に開口部分Ｘが残る。これは、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６を嵌め込む場合、リアパネル６の取付部６ａとは逆側の端部が本体ハウジング２内に位置づけられるため、本体ハウジング２内に位置づけられるリアパネル６の取付部６ａとは逆側の端部の分だけ切欠き４ａが余ってしまうからである。このような開口部分Ｘが開口した状態のままでは、開口部分Ｘから塵や埃等が侵入してしまい、ＰＣＩボード３上の電子部品に悪影響を及ぼす恐れがある。そこで、本実施の形態においては、詳細は後述するが、取付部材５を用いて開口部分Ｘを隠すようにしている。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the vicinity of the board attachment portion 4 of the main body housing 2, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the PCI board 3 attached to the main body housing 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the board mounting portion 4 of the main body housing 2 has a notch 4a for fitting the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and a locking portion 4b formed straddling the notch 4a. Is provided. A screw hole 9 is also formed in the locking portion 4b. Furthermore, a slit-like hole 12 into which a locking claw 10 (see FIG. 5) of the mounting member 5 is fitted is formed in the locking portion 4b. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 is fitted into the notch 4 a of the board mounting portion 4. As shown in FIG. 4, when the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 is fitted in the notch 4a of the main body housing 2, the opening X remains in the appearance.

This is because the notch 4a is left by an amount corresponding to the opposite end. If such an opening X remains open, dust or dust may enter from the opening X, which may adversely affect electronic components on the PCI board 3. Therefore, in the present embodiment, although the details will be described later, the opening X is hidden using the mounting member 5.

図５は、取付部材５を示す外観斜視図である。図５に示すように、取付部材５は、概略的には、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６の固定孔６ｂとボード取付部４の係止部４ｂとの位置決めを行う係止爪１０が形成されている爪部５ａと、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６を本体ハウジング２に嵌め込んだ状態で形成される開口部分Ｘを隠すための面である閉塞部５ｂとで構成される。爪部５ａには、ネジ孔１１も形成されている。加えて、取付部材５の爪部５ａには、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６に形成された取付部６ａとボード取付部４の係止部４ｂとを収納する箱形状の収納部５ｃも形成されている。この取付部材５の収納部５ｃによりＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６に形成された取付部６ａとボード取付部４の係止部４ｂとを収納することで、美観に優れた外観を得ることができるとともに、安全性を確保することができる。   FIG. 5 is an external perspective view showing the attachment member 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting member 5 is schematically formed with a locking claw 10 that positions the fixing hole 6 b of the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the locking portion 4 b of the board mounting portion 4. The claw portion 5a and the closing portion 5b which is a surface for concealing the opening portion X formed in a state where the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 is fitted into the main body housing 2 are configured. A screw hole 11 is also formed in the claw portion 5a. In addition, a box-shaped storage portion 5 c that stores the mounting portion 6 a formed on the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the locking portion 4 b of the board mounting portion 4 is also formed on the claw portion 5 a of the mounting member 5. Yes. By housing the mounting portion 6a formed on the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the locking portion 4b of the board mounting portion 4 by the storage portion 5c of the mounting member 5, it is possible to obtain an appearance that is excellent in appearance. , Can ensure safety.

このような取付部材５により本体ハウジング２にＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６を固定するには、取付部材５の収納部５ｃによりＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６に形成された取付部６ａとボード取付部４の係止部４ｂとを収納するとともに、爪部５ａの係止爪１０を本体ハウジング２に嵌め込まれた状態のＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６の固定孔６ｂ及びボード取付部４の係止部４ｂに形成された孔１２に嵌め込む。これにより、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６の固定孔６ｂとボード取付部４の係止部４ｂとの位置決めが行われる。次いで、図１に示すように、取付部材５に形成されているネジ孔１１とボード取付部４の係止部４ｂに形成されているネジ孔９とをネジ１３で締め付ける。すなわち、取付部材５に形成されているネジ孔１１とボード取付部４の係止部４ｂに形成されているネジ孔９とネジ１３とにより、係止部材が構成されている。これにより、開口部分Ｘを隠すことができるとともに、本体ハウジング２にＰＣＩボード３を固定することができる。   In order to fix the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 to the main body housing 2 with the mounting member 5, the mounting portion 6 a formed on the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the board mounting portion 4 by the storage portion 5 c of the mounting member 5. The locking portion 4b is housed, and the locking claw 10 of the claw portion 5a is formed in the fixing hole 6b of the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the locking portion 4b of the board mounting portion 4 in a state of being fitted into the main body housing 2. It fits into the hole 12 made. As a result, the positioning of the fixing hole 6b of the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the locking portion 4b of the board mounting portion 4 is performed. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the screw hole 11 formed in the attachment member 5 and the screw hole 9 formed in the locking portion 4 b of the board attachment portion 4 are tightened with screws 13. That is, the locking member is constituted by the screw hole 11 formed in the mounting member 5 and the screw hole 9 and the screw 13 formed in the locking portion 4 b of the board mounting portion 4. Thereby, the opening portion X can be hidden and the PCI board 3 can be fixed to the main body housing 2.

このように本実施の形態によれば、パーソナルコンピュータ１の機能や性能を向上させる目的で用いられるＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６を本体ハウジング２に対して固定するには、取付部材５の係止爪１０を本体ハウジング２に嵌め込まれた状態のＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６の固定孔６ｂ及び係止部４ｂに形成された孔１２に嵌め込むことにより、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６の固定孔６ｂと係止部４ｂとの位置決めを行うことができる。次いで、取付部材５と係止部４ｂとを係止部材９，１１，１３により係止することにより、パーソナルコンピュータ１の本体ハウジング２にＰＣＩボード３を固定することができる。これにより、ＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６毎にネジを用いなくてもＰＣＩボード３のリアパネル６と本体ハウジング２とを確実に接触させた状態でリアパネル６を本体ハウジング２に固定することができるので、部品点数及び組立工数の削減を図ることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, in order to fix the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 used for the purpose of improving the function and performance of the personal computer 1 to the main body housing 2, the locking claw of the mounting member 5 is used. 10 is engaged with the fixing hole 6b of the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 by being fitted into the fixing hole 6b of the rear panel 6 of the PCI board 3 and the hole 12 formed in the locking portion 4b.
