  • Patent number: 10070551
    Abstract: A housing module having a circuit board quick-assembling function is applied to an electronic device with a circuit board having a specific height. The housing module includes a housing, an spacer and two pivoting components. The housing includes a substrate and several lateral boards. The spacer includes a main body, two pivoting portions and a locking portion. The pivoting portions are disposed on corresponding sides of the main body, the locking portion stretches from a lower side of the main body and is fixed on the circuit board via an external fixing component. The pivoting portions pass through the lateral boards and are connected to the pivoting portions. While the circuit board slides relative to the substrate to push the spacer, the main body is rotated inside the housing via the pivoting portions to lift the lower side.

  • Patent number: 10064307
    Abstract: A server includes a case and function modules. The case includes a frame, a first upright partition and a second upright partition. The frame has an internal space and an opening. The opening corresponds to the internal space. The first upright partition and the second upright partition jointly define a first accommodating portion, a second accommodating portion and a third accommodating portion in the internal space. Each of the function modules is a first function module, a second function module or a third function module. A width of the first function module is half of the width of the second accommodating portion. The width of the first function module, a width of the second function module and a width of the third function module have a ratio of 1:2:4.

  • Patent number: 9946003
    Abstract: A light guiding structure includes a resilient base and a plurality of light guiding columns. A plurality of through holes is separately formed on the resilient base. The plurality of light guiding columns resiliently engages with the plurality of through holes. Each of a plurality of light emitting components is disposed on an end of each of the plurality of the light guiding columns. The light guiding structure utilizes the plurality of light guiding columns for guiding the light transmitted from the plurality of light emitting components and further utilizes the resilient base for allowing the light transmitted from one of the plurality of light emitting components to pass through the corresponding light guiding column only. Therefore, the light transmitted from the plurality of light emitting components can be guided to a correct position, which effectively reduces human misjudgment.
