Abstract

A baffle shroud assembly includes a baffle shroud, a holding component, and a sheet component, where the baffle shroud has a channel portion and an opening formed and in communication with a side of the channel portion, the holding component is movably disposed on the baffle shroud and located at the opening, the sheet component is swingably disposed on the baffle shroud and in contact with the holding component, and the holding component and the sheet component together cover the opening.

Claims (30)

1. A baffle shroud assembly, comprising:

a baffle shroud having a channel portion and an opening formed and in communication with a side of the channel portion;

a holding component movably disposed on the baffle shroud and located at the opening; and

a sheet component swingably disposed on the baffle shroud and in contact with the holding component;

wherein the holding component and the sheet component together cover the opening.

2. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holding component is pivotably and slidably disposed on the baffle shroud.

3. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holding component comprises a mount portion, a first pressing portion, and a second pressing portion, the holding component is connected to the baffle shroud via the mount portion, the first pressing portion and the mount portion are respectively located at two opposite ends of the holding component, the second pressing portion is located between the mount portion and the first pressing portion.

4. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the first pressing portion is tapered, the second pressing portion is a flat surface, the holding component further comprises a top portion connected between the mount portion and the first pressing portion and located opposite to the second pressing portion, the sheet component forces against the top portion.

5. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a first elastic component connected between the sheet component and the baffle shroud, wherein the sheet component is driven by the first elastic component to force against the holding component.

6. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holding component is movable relative to the baffle shroud and has a first position and a second position, the holding component in the second position protrudes further from an outer surface of the baffle shroud than that is in the first position.

7. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet component is a first sheet component, the baffle shroud assembly further comprises a second sheet component, the first sheet component and the second sheet component are respectively swingably disposed on two opposite sides of the opening of the baffle shroud, and the holding component, the first sheet component, and the second sheet component together cover the opening.

8. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the holding component is movable relative to the baffle shroud and has a first position and a second position, when the holding component is in the first position, distal portions of both the first sheet component and the second sheet component overlap with each other, when the holding component is in the second position, the distal portions of both the first sheet component and the second sheet component do not overlap with each other.

9. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising an engaging structure movably disposed on the holding component, wherein the baffle shroud has an engaging portion, the engaging structure is selectively engaged with the engaging portion.

10. The baffle shroud assembly according to claim 9 , further comprising a second elastic component connected between the engaging structure and the holding component, wherein the engaging structure is forced by the second elastic component to engage with the engaging portion.

11. An electronic device, adapted for an expansion card, comprising:

a housing; and

a baffle shroud assembly comprising:

a baffle shroud disposed on the housing and having a channel portion and an opening formed and in communication with a side of the channel portion, wherein the channel portion accommodates the expansion card;

a holding component movably disposed on the baffle shroud and located at the opening, wherein the holding component presses against the expansion card; and

a sheet component swingably disposed on the baffle shroud and in contact with the holding component;

wherein the holding component and the sheet component together cover the opening.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the holding component is pivotably and slidably disposed on the baffle shroud.

13. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the holding component comprises a mount portion, a first pressing portion, and a second pressing portion, the holding component is connected to the baffle shroud via the mount portion, the first pressing portion and the mount portion are respectively located at two opposite ends of the holding component, the second pressing portion is located between the mount portion and the first pressing portion.

14. The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein the expansion card are pressed by the first pressing portion or the second pressing portion, the first pressing portion is tapered, the second pressing portion is a flat surface, the holding component further comprises a top portion connected between the mount portion and the first pressing portion and located opposite to the second pressing portion, the sheet component forces against the top portion.

15. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the baffle shroud assembly further comprises a first elastic component connected between the sheet component and the baffle shroud, and the sheet component is driven by the first elastic component to force against the holding component.

16. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the holding component is movable relative to the baffle shroud and has a first position and a second position, the holding component in the second position protrudes further from an outer surface of the baffle shroud than that is in the first position.

17. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the sheet component is a first sheet component, the baffle shroud assembly further comprises a second sheet component, the first sheet component and the second sheet component are respectively swingably disposed on two opposite sides of the opening of the baffle shroud, and the holding component, the first sheet component, and the second sheet component together cover the opening.

18. The electronic device according to claim 17 , wherein the holding component is movable relative to the baffle shroud and has a first position and a second position, when the holding component is in the first position, distal portions of both the first sheet component and the second sheet component overlap with each other, when the holding component is in the second position, the distal portions of both the first sheet component and the second sheet component do not overlap with each other.

19. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the baffle shroud assembly further comprises an engaging structure movably disposed on the holding component, the baffle shroud has an engaging portion, and the engaging structure is selectively engaged with the engaging portion.

20. The electronic device according to claim 19 , wherein the baffle shroud assembly further comprises a second elastic component connected between the engaging structure and the holding component, and the engaging structure is forced by the second elastic component to engage with the engaging portion.
