The following will disclose the plural implementations of this creation in the form of diagrams. For the sake of clarity, many practical details will be described in the following description. However, those skilled in the art should understand that in the implementation of this creative part, these practical details are not necessary, so they should not be used to limit the creative. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings, some conventional structures and elements will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the drawings. In addition, for the convenience of the reader, the dimensions of each element in the drawings are not drawn according to actual proportions.

FIG. 1 is a partial exploded view of the server device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is the combination of Figure 1. FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the stop assembly 300 of FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the server device 10 includes a casing 100 and a stop assembly 300. The casing 100 includes a bottom surface 110 and a plurality of side walls (for example, the first side wall 120 and the second side wall 130). The bottom surface 110 is adjacent to these respectively The side walls are such that the bottom surface 110 and the side walls (for example, the first side wall 120 and the second side wall 130) jointly define a configuration space 140. One side wall (for example, the first side wall 120) protrudes outward from a side of the bottom surface 110 along a flat extending direction 122 with a flange portion 121.

The server device 10 further includes a motherboard (not shown) and one or more computer interface cards 200. The motherboard lies flat on the bottom surface 110. Each computer interface card 200 includes a circuit board 210 and a baffle 220. The circuit board 210 is located in the casing 100, and one side of the circuit board 210 is inserted into a bus slot (not shown). Each bus slot is parallel to the above-mentioned flat extending direction 122. One adjacent side of the circuit board 210 is locked on the blocking piece 220. For example, the blocking piece 220 is L-shaped, and includes a straight line segment 221 and a bending segment 222. The straight section 221 and the bent section 222 are orthogonal to each other or at least intersect. The straight section 221 of the blocking piece 220 abuts against the inner wall of the first side wall 120, and the bent section 222 connects the straight section 221 and abuts against the flange 121.

The stop assembly 300 includes a pivot base 310, a bracket 330, a slide cover 340, a spring 400 and two stop portions 500. The pivot base 310 is connected to the flange 121. For example, the pivot base 310 is integrally formed on the flange 121. The bracket 330 is pivotally connected to the pivot base 310 through a pivot 320, so that the bracket 330 can rotate around the axis direction 321 of the pivot 320. The axis direction 321 of the pivot 320 is perpendicular to the above-mentioned flat extension direction 122. The sliding cover 340 is slidably located on the bracket 330. For example, the sliding cover 340 slides on the bracket 330 along a sliding direction 342, and the sliding direction 342 is orthogonal to the axis direction 321 of the pivot 320. Therefore, when the sliding cover 340 rotates with the bracket 330 to the blocking piece 220, the sliding cover 340 presses the blocking piece 220 of the computer interface card 200 to the flange portion 121. The spring 400 connects the sliding cover 340 and the bracket 330 to move the sliding cover 340 back to the original position. The stopper 500 is connected to the cabinet 100 at intervals, for example That is to say, the two stop portions 500 are relatively locked on the flange portion 121 to allow the slide cover 340 to stay on the stop plate 220 of the computer interface card 200 fixedly. Therefore, when the slide cover 340 moves between the stop portion 500 and the flange portion 121 (that is, partially overlaps the stop portion 500), the stop portion 500 blocks the slide cover 340 from rotating, so the slide cover 340 cannot follow the bracket 330 Turn away from the computer interface card 200.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 2 taken along line AA. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sliding cover 340 includes a cover 341, a slot 343 and a break 344. The slot 343 is formed on one side of the cover 341, the break 344 is formed on the surface of the cover 341, and the slot 343 is connected. The bracket 330 includes a body 331, two extending ribs 332 and two catching portions 333. A side of the body 331 facing away from the pivot base 310 faces the slot 343. The extending rib 332 extends into the slot 343 from this side of the body 331 for the sliding cover 340 to be slidably disposed thereon. The locking portion 333 extends into the slot 343 from this side of the body 331. For example, when the spring 400 pulls the sliding cover 340 back to the original position, the locking portion 333 extends into the break 344 and snaps onto the break 344.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the server device 10 of FIG. 1 from another perspective. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the slide cover 340 has a plurality of pressing portions 345. The pressing portions 345 are located at the bottom of the cover 341 at intervals, and each pressing portion 345 is protrudingly located at the bottom of the cover 341. Therefore, when the sliding cover 340 presses the blocking piece 220 against the flange portion 121, the pressing portions 345 of the sliding cover 340 contact the blocking piece 220 of the computer interface card 200, which means that the blocking piece 220 is pressed against the pressing portion Between 345 and the flange 121.

In addition, the casing 100 further has a plurality of partition ribs 123 arranged in a single row and formed on the first side wall 120 along a vertical direction 124. Therefore, these separation ribs 123 are located on the circuit board of two computer interface cards 200 Between 210 to separate two of the circuit boards 210.

6A and 6B are operation diagrams of the slide cover 340 and the bracket 330 of FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6A, the slide cover 340 further includes two protrusions 350. The two protrusions 350 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the cover 341, and the two protrusions 350 are staggered with each other. Each stop portion 500 includes a frame 510 and a lateral rib 520. The frame 510 is locked on one side of the flange portion 121, and the lateral rib 520 is connected to the frame 510 and extends from the frame 510 to the sliding cover 340.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the protrusion 350 of the slide cover 340 moves between the lateral rib 520 and the flange 121 of the stopper 500, the lateral rib 520 of the stopper 500 covers the protrusion of the slide cover 340 The part 350 means that the sliding cover 340 is turned away from the blocking piece 220, so the sliding cover 340 is prevented from moving away from the blocking piece 220 of the computer interface card 200 with the rotation of the bracket 330. On the contrary, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the user presses the slide cover 340 and slides in the direction of the pivot base 310, the protrusion 350 of the slide cover 340 moves out of the lateral rib 520 of the stopper 500 and Between the flange portions 121 (that is, misaligned with the lateral rib 520), since the lateral rib 520 no longer blocks the sliding cover 340 from rotating with the bracket 330, the sliding cover 340 can move away from the computer interface card 200 with the rotation of the bracket 330之套片220。 The block 220.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6A, one of the protrusions 350 includes a first protrusion 351 and a second protrusion 353. The first convex portion 351 is located on one side of the cover 341. A surface of the first convex portion 351 facing away from the pivot base 310 is a stop surface 352. The stop surface 352 abuts the side surface of the cover 341 and is aligned with the lateral rib 520. The second convex portion 353 protrudes outward from the stop surface 352 and simultaneously abuts the side surface of the cover 341 and one side of the stop surface 352. In this way, when the sliding cover 340 slides toward the lateral rib 520, the second convex portion 353 of the sliding cover 340 moves into the lateral rib 520 and the flange portion 121 Between (Figure 4), since the lateral rib 520 is located above the second convex portion 353, the lateral rib 520 prevents the second convex portion 353 from rotating away from the blocking piece 220 of the computer interface card 200. In addition, when the sliding cover 340 slides toward the lateral rib 520, so that the stop surface 352 of the sliding cover 340 contacts the lateral rib 520, since the lateral rib 520 of the stop portion 500 contacts the blocking block of the sliding cover 340, the lateral rib 520 can block The cover 341 continues to slide, thereby protecting the slide cover 340 from the bracket 330.
