Description

Connection structure and electronic device with same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of electronic devices, and more particularly, to a connecting structure for connecting two electronic devices.
Background
It is known that there are various industrial computers available today, such as: the system comprises a server computer, an embedded computer, a single-board computer, an industrial personal computer, a vehicle-mounted computer, a security monitoring host, a game host and the like. Even so, the system architecture of industrial computers currently designed in the industry can be roughly divided into two types.
The first is a single board computer, which is produced by integrating a chipset, an I/O interface unit and electronic components on a single motherboard. Generally, the size of an industrial computer using this architecture is large. Moreover, when the customer has a requirement for changing the design, the project engineer needs to redesign the circuit of the motherboard and replace the chipset, the I/O interface unit and/or the electronic components as necessary.
The second type is a modular computer, which integrates the chipset, I/O interface unit and electronic components into a motherboard, wherein the motherboard has at least one expansion slot for inserting a functional expansion board (expansion card). It is conceivable that the modular computer has a high flexibility in industrial applications. Particularly, as the industrial internet of things (IIoT), the intelligent internet of things (AIoT) and cloud computing are applied more and more, various special modular industrial computers are generated accordingly.
Therefore, for the design engineer of the modularized industrial computer, the simplest way to add the functional module to the existing modularized industrial computer is to add an expansion board, which is commonly referred to as a daughter board (daughterboard). However, as the number of expansion boards increases, the chassis structure and the heat dissipation system of the modular industrial computer must be changed synchronously. In other words, in order to add one or more expansion boards inside an existing modular industrial computer, engineers must redesign the chassis structure and the heat dissipation system, which results in a great burden on the engineers.
In view of the foregoing, the present invention provides a connection structure for joining two electronic devices to each other.

As shown in fig. 1A, fig. 1B and fig. 2, the connection structure 1 of the present invention mainly includes an actuating unit 11, an auxiliary unit 12 and a guiding unit 13 including a first guiding member 131 and a second guiding member 132. Wherein, the actuating unit 11 is slidably connected to an inner surface of a first plate 21, and includes: a first body 110, a plurality of fasteners 111, at least one first elastic member 112, a pushing member 113, and a fitting member 114. In more detail, the first body 110 has an opening 1101, and two opposite sides (i.e., a first side and a second side) of an opening edge of the opening 1101 are respectively provided with at least one first connection portion 1102 and the engagement member 114. On the other hand, the plurality of fasteners 111 are disposed on the first body 110, and a fastening head of each fastener 111 is exposed to the outer surface of the first plate 21 through one of the plurality of first openings 211 disposed on the first plate 21.
As shown in fig. 1A, 1B and 2, a first end of the at least one first elastic element 112 is fixed to the first connection portion 1102 so as to be located in the opening 1101. In other embodiments, the first elastic member 112 may be a spring or a leaf spring. On the other hand, the pushing element 113 is disposed on the first body 110, and a pressing head of the pushing element 113 exposes the first plate 21. The auxiliary unit 12 is fixedly disposed on the inner surface of the first plate 21 and is located in the opening 1101. According to the design of the present invention, the auxiliary unit 11 includes: a second body 120, a limiting member 122, a return spring, and a clamping member 123. The limiting member 122 is disposed on the second body 120 to face the engaging member 114, and has an accommodating groove. Moreover, the return spring and the clamp member 123 are sequentially disposed in the accommodating groove, so that the clamp member 123 is supported by the return spring. As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the clamp 123 has two clamping arms exposed outside the accommodating groove, and an included angle between the two clamping arms is a first angle.
As shown in fig. 1A, 1B and 2, the second body 120 has a second connecting portion 121, such that a second end of the first elastic element 112 is fixed on at least one second connecting portion 121 of the second body 120. Furthermore, the guiding unit 13 is disposed on the inner surface of the first plate 21, such that a first guiding channel is formed between the first guiding member 131 and the inner surface of the first plate 21, and a second guiding channel is formed between the second guiding member 132 and the inner surface of the first plate 21, such that two side edges of the first body 110 are respectively embedded in the first guiding channel and the second guiding channel. Continuing to refer to fig. 2, and referring to fig. 3, a perspective view of the first plate and a second plate shown in fig. 2 is shown. Please refer to fig. 4A and fig. 4B, which show the operation diagrams of the connection structure of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4A, in an initial state, the first body 110 is located at a first position by a force (i.e., a restoring force of the spring) of the first elastic member 112. After the plurality of fasteners 111 are fastened to the plurality of fastening holes 311 of the second plate 31, the first plate 21 is combined with the second plate 31, and the first body 110 is still located at the first position. More specifically, after the plurality of buckling members are respectively buckled with the plurality of buckling holes, the two clamping arms of the clamp member are exposed out of the accommodating groove, and an included angle between the two clamping arms is a first angle.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4B, after applying a force to the pressing head of the pushing element 113 to push the first body 110 to slide to a second position, the buckling of the buckling element 111 and the buckling hole 311 is released, so that the first plate 21 can be taken up to be separated from the second plate 31. To be more specific, when the first body 110 moves to the second position, the engaging element 114 pushes the clamp element 123 to make two clamping arms of the clamp element 123 sink into the receiving slot, so that the included angle between the two clamping arms decreases from the first angle to a second angle, and the two clamping arms clamp the engaging element 114. After the first plate 21 is separated from the second plate 31, the pushing member 113 is pressed again to slide and return the first body 110 under the action of the first elastic member 112. More specifically, the pushing element 113 is pressed again under the condition that the two clamping arms clamp the engaging element 114, so that the return spring pushes the clamping element 123 with a spring restoring force thereof, thereby moving the clamping element 123 to expose the two clamping arms thereof out of the accommodating groove again; at this time, the first body 110 slides and returns by the force of the first elastic member 112. Wherein, as can be easily understood, the sliding return position of the first body 110 is related to the position of the opening edge of the first opening 211 of the first body 110 and the first plate 21 or the opening edge of the fastening hole 311 of the second plate 31, when the first body 110 slides under the force of the first elastic member 112, the first body 110 will stop sliding when the fastening member 111 abuts against the opening edge of the first opening 211 or the opening edge of the fastening hole 311.
