Step, operating the expansion pin movement mechanism 224 to deform the fixing means 144b, seating the substrate 142 on the base plate 144a, and manipulating the expansion pin movement mechanism 224 and allowing the fixing means 144b to be restored and fastened to the substrate 142, so that the fixing means when the substrate 142 passes through the fixing means 144b and is seated on the base plate 144a. may not interfere with the means 144b. Accordingly, bending deformation of the substrate 142 may be prevented, thereby preventing damage to the plurality of elements. Also, damage to the fixing means 144b can be prevented.

In addition, in the conventional case, the operator presses the frame 144 by hand and assembles it with the substrate 142. At this time, there was a difficulty in applying an equal level of force to the plurality of fixing means 144b. However, in the present embodiment, this problem is solved can be That is, the first plate 224a is disposed at a predetermined position by the positioning pin 224c so that the distance between the plurality of pins and the plurality of fixing means 144b is at an equal level, and the plurality of The expansion pins 222 are formed to be identical to each other and rotate at the same level when they are rotated by the first plate 224a, so that an equal level of force can be applied to the plurality of fixing means 144b. Accordingly, a problem in which a relatively large force is applied to some of the plurality of fixing means 144b to cause permanent deformation can be prevented in advance.
