Fig. 3 is an exploded view of the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a top view of the cover 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a top view of the mask 20 of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the present invention provides an outer cover module for a display card, comprising a cover 10 and a mask 20. The cover 10 comprises a plate 11 and a plurality of magnets 12, an inner side surface of the plate 11 is used to be configured on a display card (not shown), and the magnets 12 of the cover 10 are arranged on an inner side surface of the plate 11. The shield 20 includes a body 21 and a plurality of magnets 22. An inner side surface of the body 21 is disposed on an outer side surface of the plate 11. The body 21 is provided with a plurality of through holes 211. The magnets 22 of the shield 20 are disposed on the inner side surface of the body 21.

When the user wants to combine the shield 20 with the cover 10, he only needs to bring the inner side of the shield 20 close to the outer side of the cover 10, and the magnets 12 of the cover 10 and the magnets 22 of the shield 20 can attract each other, so that the shield 20 is fixed on the cover 10. When the user wants to separate the shield 20 from the cover 10, he only needs to apply a force greater than the magnetic force of the magnets 12 of the cover 10 and the magnets 22 of the shield 20. In this way, the cover 10 and the shield 20 can be fixed by the magnets 12, 22, and it is easy to assemble and disassemble.

Furthermore, the plate 11 can absorb the heat of the graphics card, and the perforations 211 can provide a good ventilation effect, reduce the temperature of the plate 11, and thus improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the outer cover module of the present invention for the graphics card.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the first embodiment, the plate 11 is provided with a plurality of grooves 111, and the magnets 12 of the cover 10 are respectively disposed in the grooves 111 of the plate 11. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the body 21 is provided with a plurality of grooves 2121, and the magnets 22 of the mask 20 are respectively disposed in the grooves 2121 of the body 21. Therefore, the grooves 111, 2121 can restrict the magnets 12, 22, and prevent the magnets 12, 22 from detaching from the plate 11 and the body 21.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 , in the first embodiment, the inner side surface of the body 21 has a plurality of columns 212, and the columns 212 are provided with the grooves 2121.

As shown in FIG5 , in the first embodiment, the cover 10 includes a light source 13, which is disposed on the plate 11. As shown in FIG1 and FIG6 , the shield 20 further includes a heat sink 23, which is disposed on the inner side of the body 21 and has a plurality of fins 231, which are disposed on one side of the through holes 211. As shown in FIG1 , the light source 13 is disposed on one side of the fins 231.

FIG7 is a schematic diagram of the light source 13 of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG7, when the light source 13 emits light, the light passes through the space between the fins 231 and the perforations 211. In particular, when the light source 13 irradiates a hollow pattern 112 on the board 11, the user can see the hollow pattern 112 on the board 11 glowing through the perforations 211, and the decorative effect is quite conspicuous. Furthermore, the fins 231 can increase the heat dissipation area of the heat sink 23, provide a good ventilation effect, reduce the temperature of the board 11, and thereby improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cover module of the present invention for the display card.

As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5, in the first embodiment, the cover 10 includes a support portion 14 and another light source 15, the support portion 14 is disposed at a corner of the plate 11, and the other light source 15 is disposed on the support portion 14. As shown in Figure 7, when the other light source 15 emits light, the user can clearly see that a hollow pattern 141 on the support portion 14 emits light.

In some embodiments, the cover 10 is made of metal, which has good heat conduction efficiency and can help the graphics card cool down quickly without affecting the magnetic force of the magnets 12. The body 21 is made of plastic, which does not affect the magnetic force of the magnets 22.

FIG8 is a top view of the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG9 is a side view of the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG10 is an exploded view of the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG11 is a cross-sectional view of the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG12 is a bottom view of the mask 20A of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG8 to FIG12, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in: first, the distribution positions and shapes of the through holes 211A are different; second, the main body 21A includes an outer frame 213, a plurality of supporting ribs 214 and a plurality of protruding ribs 215, the supporting ribs 214 are connected to the outer frame 213, are arranged in the middle of the outer frame 213, and contact the outer side surface of the heat sink 23A, and the protruding ribs 215 are connected to the outer frame 2 13, arranged in the middle of the outer frame 213 and located on the outer side of the supporting ribs 214, the supporting ribs 214 and the protruding ribs 215 are both formed with a plurality of through holes 211A; thirdly, the heat sink 23A is made of metal and has a plurality of through holes 232, three magnets 22 are exposed in the three through holes 232, and the remaining magnets 22 are shielded by the heat sink 23A; fourthly, the light source 13 is arranged on one side of some through holes 232.

FIG13 is a schematic diagram of the light source 13 of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG13 , when the light source 13 emits light, the light passes through a portion of the through hole 232 and a portion of the perforation 211A. In particular, when the light source 13 irradiates a hollow pattern 112 on the plate 11, the user can see the hollow pattern 112 on the plate 11 glow through the portion of the through hole 232 and the portion of the perforation 211, and the decorative effect is quite conspicuous. Preferably, the shape of the portion of the through hole 232 corresponds to the shape of the hollow pattern 112, that is, the heat sink 23A will not cover the hollow pattern 112, making the glowing hollow pattern 112 more conspicuous. Furthermore, the heat sink 23A is made of metal, which has a good heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the through holes 232 can provide a good ventilation effect, reduce the temperature of the board 11, and thus improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cover module of the present invention for the graphics card.

In addition, the magnets 22 shielded by the heat sink 23A can be restrained by the heat sink 23A and have no possibility of falling off. In the event that the three magnets 22 exposed in the three through holes 232 are separated from the column 212, the shield 20A can still be fixed on the plate 11 by the remaining magnets 22.

In addition, the perforations 211 not only have ventilation and heat dissipation effects, but their shapes also have decorative effects.

Furthermore, the supporting ribs 214 can support the heat sink 23A and prevent the heat sink 23A from being deformed.

FIG. 14 is a top view of the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 is a side view of the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 16 is an exploded view of the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 18 is a bottom view of the mask 20B of the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14 to FIG. 18, the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that: first, the distribution positions and shapes of the perforations 211B are different; second, a plurality of protrusions 216 are formed on the outer side of the body 21B; third, the distribution positions of the columns 212 are different; fourth, the body 21B has a light-transmitting portion 217, and the light source 13 is arranged on one side of the light-transmitting portion 217.

FIG19 is a schematic diagram of the light source 13 of the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG19, although the main body 21B shields the light source 13, the light cannot pass through the space between the fins 231 and the perforations 211 as in the first embodiment or through part of the through hole 232 and part of the perforation 211A as in the second embodiment, but when the light source 13 emits light, the light passes through the light-transmitting portion 217, and the user can see the hollow pattern 112 on the plate 11 emit a hazy light through the light-transmitting portion 217, producing a decorative effect different from the aforementioned embodiments.

The above is only used to explain the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any modification or change of the present invention made under the same spirit of the invention should still be included in the scope of protection intended by the present invention.
