Description

Computer front line with card reader

This creation is related to the front line of the computer, especially regarding a computer front line with a card reader.

Generally, the input/output port of the computer is set behind the computer case. However, when the input/output port is set behind the computer case, the space behind the computer case is usually narrow, the light is insufficient, and it is difficult to plug. It takes time and effort for the user to connect the computer to the external device.

Therefore, the relevant industry has developed a computer front-line (Front Side Bus), which installs the front-line cable in the expansion slot space in front of the computer case, and transmits multiple transmissions through the computer front-end cable. External devices such as interface, expansion slot and card reader are installed in front of the computer case to facilitate data transmission by the user externally connected to the peripheral device. However, in today's product trend of thinness and shortness, the space and area of the computer front line need to be greatly reduced.

To this end, how to place an external slot in a certain space and area of the computer front line and combine the card reader for plugging in external devices for data transmission is the motivation of the creator.

In view of this, in order to improve and solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the creator has devoted himself to researching and cooperating with the application of theory, and finally proposed a creation that is reasonable in design and effective in improving the above-mentioned defects.

One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a computer front line with a card reader, which is characterized by being light and thin, for plugging in an external device for data transmission.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is a computer front cable having a card reader for connecting a motherboard to be coupled to a front panel of a casing. The computer front line includes a circuit board, at least one connector, and a card reader. The circuit board is electrically connected to the motherboard, and the circuit board has opposite first and second surfaces. The connector is disposed on the first surface and electrically connected to the circuit board. The card reader is disposed on the second surface and electrically connected to the circuit board.

Compared with the prior art, the computer front line system of the present invention has a connector and a card reader, and the connector and the card reader are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the circuit board, compared to the conventional computer front line. With only a few connectors on one side, the computer front line of this creation can reduce the setup space of the computer front line. Therefore, the front slot of the computer has a certain space and area with a connector slot and a card reader for plugging in external devices for data transmission, which further increases the practicality of the creation.

The detailed description and technical content of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings, but the drawings are only for reference and explanation, and are not intended to limit the creation.

Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram of the use of the front line of the computer with the card reader. The computer front cable 1 with the card reader of the present invention is used to connect a motherboard 2 and is coupled to the front panel 4 of a casing 3. In an embodiment of the present invention, the computer front cable 1 is mounted in a casing 5 and fixed in the casing 3 and exposed on the front panel 4. The connection manner of the computer front cable 1 and the motherboard 2 is not limited, and the electrical connection can be achieved by cable welding or plugging.

Please refer to the second to fourth figures, respectively, which are schematic diagrams of the three-dimensional appearance, front view and partial exploded view of the computer front line with the card reader. In an embodiment of the present invention, the computer front cable 1 includes a circuit board 10, at least one connector 20, and a card reader (Card Reader) 30.

The circuit board 10 is electrically connected to the two motherboards. The circuit board 10 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite to each other. The connector 20 is disposed on the first surface 101 and electrically connected to the circuit board 10. The card reader 30 is disposed on the second surface 102 and electrically connected to the circuit board 10. That is, the connector 20 and the card reader 30 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the circuit board 10.

In this embodiment, the computer front cable 1 includes a plurality of connectors 20, which are Universal Serial Bus, such as a USB 2.0 connector 21 and a USB 3.0 connector 22. Or audio jack 23 (Audio Jack), etc., but not limited to this. Further, the card reader 30 is set as a card reader conforming to the SD 4.0 standard.

In the embodiment, the circuit board 10 further includes a cable connector 11 , and the circuit board 10 is electrically connected to the motherboard 2 through a flexible cable 6 .
