In addition, the guide frame 3 is lightweight and is easy to be held by a user to assemble the guide frame 3 to the bottom plate 111 of the cabinet 11.
Referring to fig. 2, 5 and 6, when the electronic card 131 of the electronic card module 13 is to be plugged into the connector 2, the left and right sides of the electronic card 131 are aligned with the guide grooves 318 of the guide rail 31. Subsequently, the electronic card module 13 is moved forward, so that the left and right sides of the electronic card 131 are respectively slidably connected to the guide slot 318 and slide in the guide slot 318. The guiding groove 318 guides the insertion direction of the electronic card 131, so that the electronic card 131 can be inserted into the rear end of the connector 2 and is accommodated in the accommodating space 33 between the guiding rails 31. When the chip 132 of the electronic card module 13 is in operation, the air generated by the fan of the electronic device 1 flows to the radiator 133 of the electronic card module 13 through the flow guide channel 34 at the bottom of the air guide sleeve 32 to radiate the radiator 133, so as to improve the radiating effect of the radiator 133.
It should be noted that the connector assembly 200 of the present embodiment may also have the following different embodiments according to requirements:
one implementation is: each side cover 321 of the pod 32 may also be coupled to the first end 313 of the corresponding rail 31 when there is sufficient space in front of the first end 313 of each rail 31.
Another implementation is: the flow guiding surface 323 of the flow guiding cover 32 may be a plane.
In summary, the guide frame 3 of the present embodiment is integrally formed on the guide rail 31 by the guide cover 32, so that the guide cover 32 can be fixed along with the guide rail 31 being locked by the fastener 4. Therefore, no additional space is required on the electronic card 131 of the electronic card module 13 for installing and fixing the air guide sleeve 32, and the radiator 133 does not need to additionally perform a processing process and add fixing pieces for fixing the air guide sleeve 32, so that the cost of the processing process, the number of components of the fixing pieces and the cost can be omitted. By the guide frame 3 being a single member made of plastic material in an integral molding manner, such as injection molding, the manufacturing process of the guide frame 3 is simple and fast, the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced, and the number of component members of the connector assembly 200 can be reduced. In addition, the guide frame 3 is light in weight, and the user can easily hold the guide frame 3 on the bottom plate 111 of the housing 11, so that the objective of the present utility model can be achieved.
