Memory module for maintaining efficient heat dissipation and electronic device
View Patent ↗A memory module assisting in efficient heat dissipation includes a motherboard, a plurality of fixing devices, a plurality of memory cards, and a plurality of dummy memory cards. The fixing devices are fixed on the motherboard side by side. The memory cards are fixed on some of the fixing devices as necessary, and the dummy memory cards are fixed on the remaining fixing devices which are vacant. The dummy memory cards inserted into the vacant fixing devices prevent the flow of air through the space above the vacant fixing devices. An electronic device including the memory module is also disclosed.
1. A memory module, comprising:
a motherboard;
a plurality of fixing devices fixed on the motherboard side by side;
a plurality of memory cards fixed on some of the plurality of fixing devices; and
a plurality of dummy memory cards fixed on the remaining of the plurality of fixing devices;
wherein a bottom of each of the plurality of dummy memory cards defines an elastic resisting portion and a notch, the elastic resisting portion extends from a side wall of the notch toward another side wall of the notch, and the elastic resisting portion is spaced apart from a bottom wall of the notch and the another side wall of the notch and resists against a top of each of the plurality of fixing devices.
2. The memory module of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of fixing devices comprises a connector and a locking member pivotally connected to an end of the connector, the locking member comprises a locking portion, an end of each of the plurality of dummy memory cards defines a first notch and an inserting portion, the inserting portion is inserted into the connector, and the locking portion is engaged with the first notch, the elastic resisting portion resists against a top of the connector.
3. The memory module of claim 2 , wherein the first notch comprises a bottom wall and a first side wall obliquely arranged with respect to the bottom wall of the first notch, the locking portion is in contact with the first side wall.
4. The memory module of claim 2 , wherein a protrusion is disposed on a side of the elastic resisting portion away from the bottom wall of the notch, the protrusion resists against the top of the connector.
5. The memory module of claim 2 , wherein the connector comprises a main body and a mounting portion disposed on an end of the main body, the main body defines a slot for accommodating and clamping a bottom of one memory card and electrically connecting one memory card and the motherboard, the inserting portion is inserted into the mounting portion.
6. The memory module of claim 5 , wherein the mounting portion comprises two mounting plates extending from two side edges of the main body and a first connecting plate connecting tops of two side edges of the two mounting plates adjacent to the main body, the first connecting plate defines a guiding groove for guiding the inserting portion, the inserting portion is inserted into a space between the two mounting plates.
7. The memory module of claim 6 , wherein the mounting portion further comprises a second connecting plate connecting bottoms of two side edges of the two mounting plates away from the main body, the locking member further comprises a supporting portion, the inserting portion is supported on the supporting portion, a side wall of the supporting portion away from a side wall of the main body resists against a side wall of the second connecting plate adjacent to the side wall of the main body.
