The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present embodiment disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, a mounting structure of a circuit card and a motherboard of a fire alarm controller includes a plug-in box assembly and a circuit card assembly. A motherboard is mounted at the bottom of the plug-in box assembly. A plurality of circuit card assemblies are inserted into the plug-in box assembly and connected to the motherboard. A fastener that cooperates with a buckle or a pin hole of the circuit card assembly is provided on the plug-in box assembly.

[0027] Specifically, the loop card assembly 10 includes a bracket 2. Specifically, the bracket is made of resin and is made into a plastic bracket 2. The bracket 2 is provided with a card slot for inserting the loop card, and the number of the brackets is the same as the number of the loop cards. First, the loop cards 1 are respectively inserted into the brackets 2 and fixed. Then, the loop card 1 and the bracket 2 are inserted into the plug-in box assembly. One end of the loop card 1 extending out of the bracket abuts against the motherboard installed at the bottom of the plug-in box assembly. The loop card 1 and the bracket 2 are inserted into the plug-in box assembly and fixed in turn to ensure that the loop card 1 is connected to the motherboard normally. The parts required to fix the loop card are reduced, and buckles are used instead of threads to fix the loop card assembly and the plug-in box assembly, saving installation time.

[0028] See also Figure 1 In another embodiment of the present invention, a guide member for limiting and restraining the circuit card assembly is provided in the plug-in box assembly 11.

[0029] Specifically, the guide member is a guide groove 12, and symmetrical guide grooves 12 are spaced apart on both sides of the inner surface of the plug-in box assembly, which are used to limit and constrain the loop card 1, play a guiding role when inserting the loop card into the plug-in box assembly, and limit the lateral displacement of the loop card to ensure that the loop card 1 is normally connected to the motherboard.

[0030] Preferably, the bracket is provided with a guide rib 13 matching the guide groove 12, and the width of the guide rib 13 is the same as the width of the guide groove 12; the guide groove 12 and the guide rib 13 cooperate to fix the loop card.

[0031] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, a loop card hook 6 is provided on the end surface of the card slot, and the loop card hook 6 is buckled and connected with the loop card 1.

[0032] Specifically, the width of both ends of the card slot is reduced to form a limit slot 3, and the width of the limit slot 3 is similar to the thickness of the loop card. A loop card hook 6 is provided on the side of the limit slot 3 away from the card slot. After the loop card is inserted into the card slot, the loop card hook 6 is embedded in the bayonet 5 provided on the loop card to fix the loop card in the card slot.
