Description

Support

The present invention relates to a support frame, particularly a support frame for expansion cards.

With the progress and development of science and technology, electronic products such as computers have spread to the general public. In order to meet the different specifications of each consumer, there are always multiple expansion ports on the motherboard of the computer for users to plug in the required expansion cards (such as independent graphics cards).

For brand computers, each expansion card is directly connected to the corresponding expansion slot of the motherboard in the chassis. In addition, in the process of transporting branded computers, the expansion cards inside the chassis tend to shake relative to the motherboard with the shaking of the car body. When each expansion card shakes relative to the motherboard, the connection quality of the motherboard and the expansion slot is easily destroyed. In particular, high-performance graphics cards, because high-performance graphics cards generally increase the built-in heat sink in order to balance computing performance and heat dissipation performance, thereby increasing the size and weight of high-performance graphics cards. If the volume and weight increase, it will aggravate the degree of shaking or gravity deformation of the high-performance graphics card relative to the motherboard, and may even cause the high-performance graphics card to detach from the expansion slot or cause damage to the expansion slot. Therefore, most manufacturers currently install expansion card supporters in the computer case to reduce the damage caused by the expansion card's shaking or gravity deformation relative to the motherboard. However, most of the current expansion card supporters have a columnar structure with a telescopic mechanism. They are erected inside the cabinet to support the expansion card from the bottom to the top, not only occupying the internal space of the cabinet, but also easily occur with other devices such as hard disks and cables In addition to interfering with the support of expansion cards of various sizes, it is more difficult to provide comprehensive support for the expansion cards.

The movable frame body is used for supporting the expansion card, and has a second sliding slot extending along a second direction. The second direction is not parallel to the first direction. The light-emitting component is disposed on a fixed frame body or a movable frame body. The locking component passes through the first sliding slot and the second sliding slot, and the locking component has a locked state and a released state. When the locking component is in a released state, the movable frame body can move in the first direction or the second direction. When the locking component is in a locked state, the locking component fixes the relative position of the movable frame body and the fixed frame body.

The supporting frame disclosed in another embodiment of the present invention is suitable for being installed in a casing and used for supporting an expansion card located in the casing. The support frame includes a fixed frame body, a movable frame body, a light emitting component and a locking component.
