Electronic device with expansion card
View Patent ↗An electronic device includes a chassis having a bottom wall. A motherboard is disposed on the bottom wall. A riser card is perpendicularly connected to the motherboard. An airflow duct is located on the bottom wall of the chassis. A securing member is mounted to the airflow duct. The securing member includes a supporting piece secured to the airflow duct, and a securing piece is pivotally mounted to the supporting piece. The securing piece is engaged with the supporting piece to clamp an expansion card between the supporting piece and the securing piece.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a chassis having a bottom wall;
a motherboard disposed on the bottom wall, and a riser card perpendicularly connected to the motherboard;
an airflow duct located on the bottom wall of the chassis; and
a securing member mounted to the airflow duct, the securing member comprising a supporting piece, secured to the airflow duct, and a securing piece, pivotally mounted to the supporting piece; and the securing piece engages with the supporting piece to clamp an expansion card between the supporting piece and the securing piece.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a fan mounting bracket is mounted on the bottom wall, and the airflow duct abuts the fan mounting bracket to guide air flow towards the rear wall of the chassis.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the supporting piece comprises a longitudinal supporting bar; the securing piece is pivotally mounted to the supporting bar, and comprises a pressing bar; and the expansion card is clamped between the supporting bar and the pressing bar.
4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein a securing portion extends from the supporting bar, an elastic hook protrudes from an end of the pressing bar, and a securing slot is defined in the securing portion; the elastic hook engages in the securing slot.
5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the elastic hook comprises a movable wall received in the securing slot and resiliently abutting an inner side of the securing slot.
6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein an operating handle is located on a free end of the movable wall of the elastic hook.
7. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the airflow duct comprises a mounting wall parallel to the chassis rear wall, and the supporting piece is secured to the mounting wall.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting piece comprises a securing wall parallel to the supporting bar, the securing wall abuts the mounting wall, and two securing posts protrude from the securing wall and engage in two securing holes defined by the mounting wall.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the securing piece is rotatable about a pivot axis that is perpendicular to the chassis rear wall.
10. An electronic device, comprising:
a chassis having a bottom wall, and a sidewall;
a motherboard disposed on the bottom wall, and a riser card perpendicularly connected to the motherboard;
an airflow duct located on the bottom wall of the chassis; and
a securing member mounted to the airflow duct, the securing member comprising a supporting piece, secured to the airflow duct, and a securing piece, having a pivot end away from the chassis sidewall and a securing end adjacent to the chassis sidewall; the pivot end is mounted to the supporting piece; the securing end is rotatable about the pivot end, engages the supporting piece, and is capable of clamping an expansion card between the supporting piece and the securing piece.
11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein a fan mounting bracket is mounted on the bottom wall, and the airflow duct abuts the fan mounting bracket to guide air flow toward the rear wall of the chassis.
12. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the supporting piece comprises a longitudinal supporting bar; the securing piece comprises a pressing bar; and the expansion card is clamped between the supporting bar and the pressing bar.
13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein a securing portion extends from the other end of the supporting bar, an elastic hook protrudes from an end of the pressing bar, and a securing slot is defined in the securing portion; and the elastic hook engages in the securing slot.
14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the elastic hook comprises a movable wall; the movable wall is received in the securing slot and resiliently abuts an inner side of the securing slot.
15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein an operating handle is located on a free end of the movable wall of the elastic hook.
16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the elastic hook is U-shaped.
17. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the airflow duct comprises a mounting wall parallel to the chassis rear wall, and the supporting piece is secured to the mounting wall.
18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the supporting piece comprises a securing wall parallel to the supporting bar, the securing wall abuts the mounting wall, and two securing posts protrude from the securing wall and engage in two securing holes defined by the mounting wall.
