Interface card device with hook structure

The following description relates to an interface card device, and more particularly to an interface card device having a hook structure for fixing to a corresponding engaging portion on a motherboard.

The interface card devices used in general computers, such as sound card, display card and network card, are usually inserted into the corresponding slot of the motherboard, and then the interface card is replaced by a screw. The I/O bracket is locked. However, in this way, if the user does not have a screwdriver, the interface card device cannot be removed and fixed at will, which is extremely inconvenient for the user. Furthermore, if the screw is used, the interface card device is not used. Locking, once the user boots, if the gold finger of the interface card falls off the slot, it may cause damage to the interface card device and the computer motherboard.

Therefore, there is a great need for an interface card device to solve the above problems.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention proposes an interface card device which uses the hook structure thereon instead of the locking screw so that the interface card device can be easily fixed to the slot of the motherboard.

The extraction member 220 includes a control point 221, a grip portion 36 and an active portion 222; wherein the control point 221 is disposed and embedded in the track relative to the ㄈ-shaped track 210, and the grip portion 36 is disposed on the extracting member The direction away from the motherboard 90 in the 220 is convenient for the user to perform an extraction action. The hook member 230 includes a hook portion 231 and a follower portion 232 that is adhered to the active portion 222. The hook portion 231 corresponds to the engaging portion 91 on the motherboard 90. In this embodiment, the active portion 222 and the follower portion The part 232 is implemented by a rack and a gear, but is not limited thereto.

For further explanation, please refer to FIG. 7 , and when the extraction member 220 is subjected to a second external force, wherein the direction of the second external force is perpendicular to the motherboard 90 and is away from the driving direction of the motherboard 90, the control point The second portion 32 is movably moved to the second position 32 of the ㄈ-shaped rail 210. At this time, the active portion 222 is coupled to the driven portion 232 to actuate, and the driven portion 232 is coupled to the hook portion 231 for hooking. The operation of the portion 91 and the action of the active portion 222 on the driven portion 232 has been described in FIG. 2, and therefore will not be described herein.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 8, when the extracting member 220 is moved by the first external force in the first direction, the control point 221 can be moved to the first position 31 in the ㄈ-shaped rail 210 in conjunction with the active portion 222. The linkage affects the driven portion 232 to actuate the driven portion 232 The hook portion 231 is separated from the engaging portion 91, wherein the first direction is opposite to one of the directions of the second external force, and the manner in which the active portion 222 affects the action of the driven portion 232 is described in FIG. 4, and therefore is not performed here. Narration.

It can be seen from the above that the interface card device with the hook structure disclosed in the present invention can eliminate the need for the user to screw and fix the interface card device to the I/O bracket, and can be removed and fixed at will. The user's convenience is greatly increased. Moreover, since the hook structure is hooked to the engaging portion, the fixing function of the gold finger on the slot is increased, and the gold finger peeling slot on the interface card device can be avoided. The problem further avoids the problem that the interface card and the computer motherboard may be damaged due to the gold finger falling off the slot.

The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of the technical spirit and the features of the present invention, and the objects of the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art, and the scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereto. That is, the equivalent variations or modifications made by the spirit of the present invention should still be included in the scope of the present invention.
