Description

Computer device

This creation relates to a computer device, and in particular to a computer device with an internal lock.

The computer host or server of the conventional computer generally has a front cover and is disposed on the front side of the host computer. After the front cover is removed, the hard disk or the optical disk drive inside the computer can be extracted. In the prior art, the front cover is generally only engaged with the main body casing of the computer, and can be easily removed by pulling force.

However, since the host computer is often placed in a crowded exhibition space when the display is displayed, the front cover can be quickly removed to increase the risk of the hard disk or the optical disk being stolen.

Therefore, there is a need to design an internal lock that can be locked by the inside of the computer mainframe to reduce the risk of theft of the hard disk or the optical disk drive.

A computer device includes a casing body, an outer cover, a support structure, a locking mechanism, and a cover. The outer cover includes a hook, wherein the outer cover pivotally connects the housing body, wherein the outer cover is adapted to pivot between a closed position and an open position. The locking mechanism is disposed on the support structure, wherein when the outer cover is in the closed position, the hook is engaged with the locking mechanism to lock the outer cover. The cover covers the casing body, the support structure, and the locking mechanism.

By applying the computer device of the present embodiment, only when the cover is removed and the lock mechanism is unlocked, the hard disk or the optical disk drive can be removed, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the hard disk or the optical disk being stolen.

1A is a computer device of the present embodiment, wherein the outer cover is in a closed state; FIG. 1B is a computer device of the present embodiment, wherein the outer cover is removed; and FIG. 1C shows the present embodiment. The computer device, wherein the outer cover is in an open state; the second embodiment shows the computer device of the present embodiment, wherein the locking mechanism fixes the outer cover; and the second embodiment shows the computer device of the present embodiment, wherein the lock The buckle mechanism releases the outer cover; the third figure shows the exploded view of the locking mechanism of the present embodiment; the fourth figure shows the step screw of the present embodiment; and the fifth figure shows the locking mechanism of the present embodiment. The detailed structure, wherein the locking mechanism fixes the outer cover; and the fifth embodiment shows the detailed structure of the locking mechanism of the present embodiment, wherein the locking mechanism releases the outer cover.

Referring to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, the computer device 1 of the present embodiment is shown, including a casing body 10, an outer cover 20, and a support node. The structure 30, a locking mechanism 100 and a cover 40 are provided. The outer cover 40 covers the cabinet body 10, the support structure 30, and the latch mechanism 100. The outer cover 20 is pivotally coupled to the housing body 10, wherein the outer cover 20 is pivotable between a closed position (Fig. 1B) and an open position (Fig. 1C). After the cover 20 is opened, the hard disk or the optical disk drive (not shown) inside the computer device 1 can be accessed.

The support structure 30 may be coupled to the cabinet body 10 in a screw-locking manner, or may be coupled to the cabinet body 10 in an integrally formed manner.

Referring to Figures 2A and 2B, the outer cover 20 includes a hook 21. When the outer cover 20 is in the closed position (FIG. 2A), the hook 21 is engaged with the locking mechanism 100 to lock the outer cover 20.

The latch mechanism 100 is adapted to switch between a first state and a second state. When the latch mechanism 100 is in the first state, the latch mechanism 100 engages the hook 21 when the latch When the mechanism 100 is in the second state, the locking mechanism 100 is disengaged from the hook 21 to release the outer cover 20.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the locking mechanism 100 includes a locking member 110 , a resilient piece 120 , and two screws 130 . The locking member 110 is coupled to the supporting structure 30 through the screws 130 . The elastic piece 120 can be fixed to the support structure 30 by locking, snapping or other means.

With reference to the third and fourth figures, the screws 130 are stepped screws, and each of the screws 130 includes a locking portion 131 and a limiting portion 132. The locking portion 131 is locked on the supporting structure 30. The buckle member 110 includes two guiding slots 111. The limiting portions 132 are respectively located in the guiding slots 111. The locking member 110 is constrained by the screws 130 and is adapted to be in a first position (Fig. 5A). ) And moving between the second position (Fig. 5B) relative to the elastic piece 120.

The locking member 110 includes an engaging portion 112 and a positioning hole 113 . The elastic piece 120 includes a positioning portion 121 . Referring to FIG. 5A , when the locking member 110 is in the first position, the positioning hole 113 engages the positioning portion 121 , and the hook 21 engages the engaging portion 112 to lock the outer cover 20 .

The elastic piece 120 includes a resilient arm 122 at one end of the elastic piece 120. When the pressure is applied to the elastic arm 122, the positioning portion 121 is disengaged from the positioning hole 113, thereby allowing the locking member 110 to move relative to the elastic piece 120 from the first position toward the second position. The locking member 110 further includes a pressing portion 114 on one side of the locking member 110. When a pushing force is applied to the pressing portion 114, the locking member 110 is opposite to the elastic piece 120 from the first position. The second position is moved to release the hook 21. When a pressure is applied to the pressing portion 114, the locking member 110 moves from the second position toward the first position relative to the elastic piece 120 to engage the hook 21.

In this embodiment, the support structure 30 is sandwiched between the elastic piece 120 and the locking member 110. The support structure 30 includes a through hole 31 and a slot 32.
