Description

Electronic devices and shields

The invention relates to an electronic device and a baffle.

Generally speaking, electronic devices such as desktop computers or servers are equipped with optical disc drives so that users can insert optical discs into the optical disc drive to read the information stored in the optical discs.

In order to allow the optical disc drive to be smoothly inserted into the casing of the electronic device through the opening of the casing, the height of the opening is usually slightly larger than the height of the optical disc drive to prevent the optical disc drive from being damaged when the optical disc drive is inserted into the casing through the opening. The casing is deformed, affecting the operation of the optical disc drive tray. However, when the height of the opening is slightly larger than the height of the optical disc drive, a gap will be formed between the edge of the opening of the optical disc drive and the case, causing the user to place the optical disc on the tray when the tray is ejected. It is easy to accidentally put the disc into the gap, causing the disc to fall into the case. In this case, the user still needs to dismantle the entire casing to take out the optical disc, which is quite inconvenient. In view of this, researchers in this field are currently working on solving the aforementioned problems.

The baffle 30 is made of, for example, but not limited to, an elastically deformable material, and the baffle 30 can be a plastic sheet, such as Mylar. The blocking piece 30 includes a fixing part 31 , a blocking part 32 and a limiting part 33 . The fixing part 31 is fixed to the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 by, for example, but not limited to, adhesion. The length L1 of the fixing portion 31 is equal to the width W of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 , for example. Thereby, during the process of fixing the fixing part 31 to the casing 21 of the optical disc drive 20, the fixing part 31 can be prevented from being fixed to the casing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 in a skewed state. The blocking portion 32 has a first side 321 , a second side 322 , a third side 323 and a fourth side 324 . The first side 321 and the second side 322 are opposite to each other, and the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 are opposite to each other and adjacent to the first side 321 and the second side 322 . The first side 321 of the blocking part 32 is connected to the fixed part 31 , and the blocking part 32 moves relative to the fixed part 31 . For example, the blocking portion 32 further has two folding lines FL, and the two folding lines FL are located on the first side 321 . The first side 321 of the blocking portion 32 is connected to the fixing portion 31 by two fold lines FL, so that the blocking portion 32 can be folded or unfolded relative to the fixing portion 31 . The limiting part 33 is, for example, but not limited to, a rectangular slot. The limiting part 33 , for example, extends from the blocking part 32 to the fixed part 31 , and the extension line EL of the two fold lines FL passes through the limiting part 33 . For example, the limiting portion 33 is connected to the third side 323 and the fourth side of the blocking portion 32 respectively. There is a distance D between the sides 324 , and the distance D from the limiting portion 33 to the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 of the blocking portion 32 is, for example, equal. The length L2 of the limiting portion 33 is, for example, smaller than the diameter R of the optical disc 2 (please refer to FIG. 6 first), and is larger than the length L3 of the assembly port 12 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2 . It can also be said that the length L2 of the limiting portion 33 is greater than the length L3 of the long edge 121 or 122 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2 . In other words, the length L2 of the limiting portion 33 is greater than the distance between the short edges 123 and 124 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2 .

It should be noted that the distance D from the limiting portion 33 to the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 of the stopper 32 is not limited to being equal. In other embodiments, it should be noted that the distances from the limiting portion to the third side 323 and the fourth side 324 of the blocking portion may not be equal. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the limiting portion may be directly connected to the third side 323 or the fourth side of the blocking portion. In this way, the blocking part can have only one fold line to connect to the fixing part.

Before the optical disc drive 20 with the blocking piece 30 attached is installed into the accommodation space 11 from the assembly opening 12 of the chassis 10 , the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is first folded toward the fixing portion 31 . Then, the optical disc drive 20 is gradually installed into the accommodation space 11 from the assembly opening 12 of the chassis 10 . When the blocking piece 30 passes through the assembly opening 12 of the casing 10 , the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 will press against the blocking portion 32 , so that the angle θ between the blocking portion 32 and the fixing portion 31 gradually becomes smaller. After the blocking piece 30 passes through the assembly opening 12 of the casing 10 and reaches the accommodating space 11 , the blocking portion 32 is no longer pressed by the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 and rebounds, so that the blocking portion 32 and the fixing portion 31 are separated. The angle θ between them becomes larger.

After the optical disc drive 20 with the baffle 30 attached is installed into the accommodation space 11 from the assembly opening 12 of the casing 10, the baffle 32 is located on the inner wall surface 13 of the casing 10 and the optical disc drive 20. between the upper surface 211 of the casing 21 of the disc player 20 , and the second side 322 of the stopper 32 abuts against the inner wall 13 of the casing 10 . The blocking portion 32 is inclined relative to the fixing portion 31 and forms an included angle θ with the fixing portion 31 , where the included angle θ between the fixing portion 31 and the blocking portion 32 is an acute angle and is, for example, greater than 10 degrees and less than 90 degrees. Furthermore, the stopper 33 corresponds to the gap G. The limiting portion 33 has an edge 331 away from the fixing portion 31 . The edge 331 of the limiting portion 33 and the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 are located on the same side of the optical disc drive 20 . The edge 331 of the limiting portion 33 is farther away from the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 than the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 . That is to say, the distance D1 from the edge 331 of the limiting part 33 away from the fixing part 31 to the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 of the optical disc drive 20 is greater than the height H of the gap G relative to the upper surface 211 of the housing 21 , so that the gap G The orthographic projection on the limiting portion 33 completely falls within the area of the limiting portion 33 .

Next, please refer to Figures 6 to 8. Figures 6 and 7 are partial cross-sectional views of the optical disc that is placed in the gap and is blocked by the baffle. Figure 8 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of the optical disc inserted into the gap on the left side and being blocked by the baffle.

When the user puts the optical disc 2 into the optical disc drive 20, the tray 22 of the optical disc drive 20 needs to exit the housing 21 first. At this time, the gap G is exposed to the outside, and the user may mistakenly put the optical disc 2 into the gap G. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, assuming that the optical disc 2 is placed in the gap G, the optical disc 2 is directly limited by the limiting portion 33 of the stopper 30 and cannot continue to move forward. Therefore, the entirety of the optical disc 2 can be avoided. Fall into the casing 10. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 8, assuming that the optical disc 2 is placed into the gap G on the left side of the gap G, the short edge 123 of the assembly opening 12 of the casing 10 will guide the optical disc 2 to move toward the middle of the gap G to allow the optical disc 2 to move toward the middle of the gap G. The optical disc 2 entering the gap G can be limited by the stopper 30 33, and cannot continue to move forward, so the whole optical disc 2 can be prevented from falling into the casing 10. Similarly, assuming that the optical disc 2 is placed into the gap G (not shown) on the right side of the gap G, the short edge 124 of the assembly port 12 of the casing 10 will guide the optical disc 2 to move toward the middle of the gap G to allow it to enter the gap. The optical disc 2 of G can be limited by the limiting portion 33 of the baffle 30 and cannot continue to move forward, so the entire optical disc 2 can be prevented from falling into the casing 10 .

It can be seen from this that the fixing part 31 of the shielding plate 30 is fixed to the optical disc drive 20, and the blocking part 32 of the shielding plate 30 is connected to the fixing part 31 obliquely and is located between the inner wall surface 13 of the cabinet 10 and the optical disc drive 20. The blocking part 32 is against the inner wall 13 of the casing 10, and the limiting portion 33 is located at the blocking portion 32 and corresponds to the gap G formed by the optical disc drive 20 and the long edge 121 of the assembly port 12, so that the optical disc 2 can be placed After the gap G is reached, the limiting portion 33 is used to stop the optical disc 2 to prevent the entire optical disc 2 from falling into the casing 10 .

Furthermore, by arranging the blocking portion 32 to be obliquely connected to the fixing portion 31, after the optical disc 2 is inserted into the gap G, the optical disc 2 can be guided to the limiting portion 33, so that the optical disc 2 can be restrained by the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30. Limit.

In addition, by arranging the edge 331 of the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 away from the fixing portion 31 farther away from the optical disc drive 20 than the long edge 121 of the assembly opening 12 , it can be ensured that the optical disc 2 entering the gap G can be limited by the blocking piece 30 The limit of part 33. It should be noted that the edge of the limiting portion of the blocking piece away from the fixing portion is not limited to being farther away from the optical disc drive than the long edge of the assembly opening. In other embodiments, the distance from the edge of the limiting portion of the blocking piece away from the fixing portion to the optical disc drive may be equal to the distance from the long edge of the assembly opening to the optical disc drive.

In this embodiment, between the fixed part 31 and the blocking part 32 of the blocking piece 30 The configuration in which the included angle θ is an acute angle and is greater than 10 degrees and less than 90 degrees can further enhance the effect of the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 in blocking the optical disc 2 . It should be noted that the angle θ between the fixed part 31 and the blocking part 32 of the blocking piece 30 is not limited to an acute angle. In other examples, the angle between the fixed part and the blocking part of the blocking piece may be an obtuse angle, and other measures may be added to the side of the blocking part of the blocking piece away from the assembly opening to prevent the fixed part of the blocking piece from interfering with the blocking part. The angle between the discs gradually increases due to the pushing of the disc, thereby preventing the failure of the stopper. In another embodiment, there may be no included angle between the fixed part and the blocking part of the blocking piece, and the blocking part of the blocking piece may be C-shaped.

On the other hand, since the limiting portion 33 of the baffle 30 is slotted, the length L2 of the limiting portion 33 is smaller than the diameter R of the optical disc 2 and greater than the length L3 of the assembly port 12 minus the diameter R of the optical disc 2 . The configuration can further enhance the effect of the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 in blocking the optical disc 2 . It should be noted that the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 is not limited to a slot. In other embodiments, the limiting portion of the blocking piece can be changed to other suitable structures, as long as the limiting portion is connected to the blocking portion.

In this embodiment, the limiting portion 33 of the blocking piece 30 extends from the blocking portion 32 to the fixing portion 31, which can disperse the force exerted by the optical disc 2 to the blocking portion 32 when the optical disc 2 is pressed. and on the fixed part 31 to prevent the connection between the limiting part 33 and the fixed part 31 from breaking. It should be noted that if the structural strength of the connection between the limiting part and the fixing part is sufficient, the limiting part of the blocking piece may be located only on the blocking part.

In this embodiment, the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is designed to be movable relative to the fixed portion 31 and elastically deformed, which can facilitate the installation of the optical disc drive 20 with the blocking piece 30 attached to it from the assembly opening 12 of the chassis 10 into the accommodation space. 11, and ensure that the baffle 30 passes through the machine The assembly opening 12 of the casing 10 can rebound and abut against the inner wall 13 of the casing 10 to provide the effect of blocking the two optical discs. It should be noted that the blocking portion 32 of the blocking piece 30 is not limited to being movable relative to the fixed portion 31 and elastically deformable. In other embodiments, the blocking portion of the blocking piece can be changed to be immovable and elastically deformable relative to the fixed portion. Under such a configuration, the baffle does not need to be installed into the casing together with the optical disc drive, but is fixed on the optical disc drive after the optical disc drive is installed into the casing and the upper cover of the casing is opened.

Furthermore, using a plastic sheet for the baffle 30 can save costs, but the present invention is not limited to this. If there is no cost consideration, the baffle can also be made of metal.

According to the electronic device and the cover disclosed in the above embodiments, they are fixed to the optical disc drive through the fixed part of the cover. The blocking part of the cover is obliquely connected to the fixed part and is located between the inner wall surface of the casing and the optical disc drive.
