Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to an electronic component mounting structure and electronic equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic components typically need to be installed in a mounting enclosure using component brackets; for example, hard drives need to be installed in a mounting enclosure using a hard drive tray. In related technologies, the process of removing electronic components requires first removing the component bracket from the mounting enclosure, and then removing the electronic component from the component bracket, which is quite cumbersome. Furthermore, to facilitate the installation and removal of the component bracket, the mounting enclosure needs to have a large operating space, which is detrimental to structural compactness. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide an electronic component mounting structure and an electronic device to improve the ease of replacing electronic components and the compactness of the structure.
[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an electronic component mounting structure, which includes a mounting box, an electronic component bracket, a sliding mechanism, and an elastic locking member. The electronic component bracket is used to mount electronic components and is disposed within the mounting box. The sliding mechanism is disposed between the mounting box and the electronic component bracket, and includes a slider and a guide rail. The guide rail has two opposing extending surfaces, the extending directions of which are the same as the extending direction of the guide rail. The slider is confined between the two extending surfaces. The elastic locking member is at least partially disposed between the two extending surfaces, with one end fixed relative to the extending surface in the extending direction, and the other end elastically deformed and shortened in the direction in which the two extending surfaces are aligned.
[0005] In some optional embodiments of this application, the elastic locking member has a curved portion, at least one end of the elastic locking member along the curved extension direction is fixedly connected to an extension surface, the curved portion of the elastic locking member protrudes outward toward the other extension surface, and when the elastic locking member elastically deforms, the end of the curved portion near the other extension surface moves in the direction in which the two extension surfaces are arranged.
[0006] In some optional embodiments of this application, the bending extension direction of the bent portion has an angle with the perpendicular direction of the extension direction of the guide rail.
[0007] In some optional embodiments of this application, the number of elastic locking components is two, with the two elastic locking components respectively fixed to the two extension surfaces and arranged opposite to each other along the arrangement direction of the two extension surfaces.
[0008] In some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic component holder is formed with a receiving cavity for receiving electronic components. At least one of the two opposite sidewalls of the receiving cavity is provided with an elastic support member for supporting the electronic components along the arrangement direction of the two sidewalls.
[0009] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the receiving cavity is formed with an opening through which electronic components can be inserted, and an elastic support is disposed on the sidewall of the receiving cavity extending circumferentially along the opening.
[0010] In some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic component has a plate-like structure, the receiving cavity is adapted to the shape of the electronic component, and the elastic support is disposed on the side wall of the receiving cavity extending along the thickness direction.
[0011] In some optional embodiments of this application, at least one of the two opposite sidewalls of the receiving cavity has a plurality of elastic supports, and at least two elastic supports are spaced apart in the axial direction of the opening.
[0012] In some optional embodiments of this application, among the multiple elastic supports, the elastic support closest to the opening has a larger contact area with the electronic components.
[0013] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including electronic components and the electronic component mounting structure provided in the first aspect of embodiments of this application, wherein the electronic components are mounted on an electronic component bracket.
[0014] The electronic component mounting structure provided in this application embodiment allows the electronic component bracket to be fixed relative to the mounting box through the mutual support of the elastic locking element and the slider. The electronic component bracket does not need to be completely removed from the mounting box, and the staff can easily disassemble the electronic components, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of replacing electronic components. The electronic component bracket does not need to be frequently disassembled and assembled, so there is no need to reserve a large operating space for disassembly and assembly, which is beneficial to improving the compactness of the structure.
[0015] Specifically, the electronic component bracket is slidably connected to the mounting box via a slider and guide rail. An elastic locking element is installed between the two extended surfaces of the guide rail. The elastic locking element supports the slider in two ways: either the other end of the elastic locking element is compressed and shortened by the slider as it moves along the extended surface, thus supporting the slider in the direction of the two extended surfaces and keeping the electronic component bracket relatively stationary with respect to the mounting box; or the other end of the elastic locking element springs back after the slider has completely passed through it, supporting the slider on one side along the sliding direction and preventing reverse sliding. The electronic component bracket is firmly supported by the elastic locking element, allowing it to remain relatively stationary with respect to the mounting box even when it extends a certain length beyond it. This facilitates easy installation and removal of electronic components without requiring the bracket to be completely detached from the guide rail, reducing the need for frequent disassembly and reassembly, and improving the convenience of component replacement and the compactness of the structure.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides an electronic device, including an electronic component 1 and an electronic component mounting structure. The electronic component mounting structure is used to mount the electronic component 1. Specifically, the electronic component mounting structure includes an electronic component bracket 3 and a mounting box 2. The electronic component 1 is mounted on the electronic component bracket 3, and the electronic component bracket 3 is disposed inside the mounting box 2. The type of electronic device is not limited. In some optional embodiments of this application, it can be a laptop computer, desktop computer, server, communication equipment, camera equipment, and vehicle-mounted equipment, etc. The type of electronic component 1 is not limited. Exemplarily, in some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic component 1 can be a memory, optical drive, wireless charging module, audio output expansion component, performance expansion component, etc. In some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic device is a server, the electronic component 1 is a hard drive, and the electronic component bracket 3 is a hard drive tray.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the electronic component bracket 3 and the mounting box 2 are connected by a sliding mechanism 4. Specifically, the electronic component mounting structure provided in this embodiment includes a mounting box 2, an electronic component bracket 3, a sliding mechanism 4, and an elastic locking member 5. The electronic component bracket 3 is used to mount the electronic component 1 and is disposed within the mounting box 2. The sliding mechanism 4 is disposed between the mounting box 2 and the electronic component bracket 3. The sliding mechanism 4 includes a slider 41 and a guide rail 42. The guide rail 42 has two opposing extension surfaces, the extension directions of which are the same as the extension direction a of the guide rail. The slider 41 is confined between the two extension surfaces. The elastic locking member 5 is at least partially disposed between the two extension surfaces, with one end fixed relative to the extension surface in the extension direction, and the other end undergoing elastic deformation and shortening in the direction of the arrangement of the two extension surfaces.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electronic component mounting structure provided in this application embodiment allows the electronic component bracket 3 to be relatively fixed to the mounting box 2 through the mutual support of the elastic locking member 5 and the slider 41. The electronic component bracket 3 does not need to be completely removed from the mounting box 2, and the staff can easily disassemble the electronic component 1, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of replacing the electronic component 1. The electronic component bracket 3 does not need to be frequently disassembled and assembled, so there is no need to reserve a large operating space for disassembly and assembly, which is beneficial to improving the compactness of the structure.
[0039] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electronic component bracket 3 is slidably connected to the mounting box 2 via a slider 41 and a guide rail 42. An elastic locking element 5 is provided between the two extended surfaces of the guide rail 42. The support between the elastic locking element 5 and the slider 41 can be achieved by the other end of the elastic locking element 5 being compressed and shortened by the slider 41 during the movement of the slider 41 along the extended surface, thereby supporting the slider 41 in the arrangement direction b of the two extended surfaces, making the electronic component bracket 3 and the mounting box 2 relatively stationary; or the slider 41 can completely pass through the elastic locking element 5, and the other end of the elastic locking element 5 will rebound after being compressed, thereby supporting the slider 41 on one side along the sliding direction of the elastic locking element 5, which helps to prevent the slider 41 from sliding in the opposite direction. The electronic component bracket 3 is firmly supported on the elastic locking element 5, so that the electronic component bracket 3 can remain relatively stationary with the mounting box 2 when it extends a certain length out of the mounting box 2. This allows the staff to easily perform operations such as disassembling and assembling electronic components 1. The electronic component bracket 3 does not need to be completely detached from the guide rail 42, and the electronic component bracket 3 does not need to be frequently disassembled and assembled, which helps to improve the convenience of replacing electronic components 1 and the compactness of the structure.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be explained that the electronic component bracket 3 can extend or retract relative to the mounting box 2 through the sliding mechanism 4. The sliding mechanism 4 in this embodiment has multiple implementations. The guide rail 42 can be a strip groove, the extension direction of the strip groove is the extension direction a of the guide rail, and the orientation of the bottom surface of the strip groove is at an angle to the extension direction a of the guide rail; the guide rail 42 can also be a strip through hole, the extension direction of the strip through hole is the extension direction a of the guide rail, and the axial direction of the strip through hole is at an angle to the extension direction a of the guide rail; the guide rail 42 can also be a cylindrical structure, the extension direction of the cylindrical structure is the same as the extension direction a of the guide rail, and the slider 41 is a post that slides along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure and is inserted into the cylindrical structure; the guide rail 42 can also be two relatively fixed extension plates, the two extension plates are arranged opposite each other, and the sides of the two extension plates that are close to each other are the two extension surfaces. The slider 41 can be a pin, protrusion, roller, ball, etc. that cooperates with the guide rail 42. In some optional embodiments of this application, the entire electronic component bracket 3 can also be used as the slider 41. The opposite sides of the electronic component bracket 3 along the arrangement direction of the two extension surfaces are respectively used to slide and cooperate with the two extension surfaces.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the slider 41 is in contact with two extended surfaces. This structure facilitates the smooth sliding of the slider 41 relative to the guide rail 42.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, there are multiple sliders 41, which are arranged along the extension direction a of the guide rail. This structure facilitates smooth sliding between the guide rail 42 and the sliders 41.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be explained that the sliding mechanism 4 is disposed between the electronic component bracket 3 and the mounting box 2. This can be achieved by either a guide rail 42 mounted on the electronic component bracket 3 and a slider 41 mounted on the mounting box 2, or by a guide rail 42 mounted on the mounting box 2 and a slider 41 mounted on the electronic component bracket 3. Optionally, in some preferred embodiments of this application, the shorter of the guide rail 42 and slider 41 along its extension direction is disposed on the electronic component bracket 3. This structural configuration improves the stability of the movement of the electronic component bracket 3.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the length of the guide rail 42 along the extending direction is greater than the length of the slider 41 along the extending direction. This structural configuration facilitates smooth sliding between the slider 41 and the guide rail 42. Of course, in some other optional embodiments of this application, the length of the slider 41 along the extending direction may also be greater than the length of the guide rail 42 along the extending direction.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understandable that when the guide rail 42 is set on the mounting box 2, the end of the elastic locking member 5 extending from the mounting box 2 along the direction of movement of the electronic component 1 can be used to support the electronic component bracket 3; when the guide rail 42 is set on the electronic component bracket 3, one side of the beginning of the elastic locking member 5 extending from the mounting box 2 along the direction of movement of the electronic component 1 can be used to support the slider 41 to limit the reverse sliding of the electronic component bracket 3. It should be explained that the direction of movement of the electronic component 1 extending from the mounting box 2 is from the beginning to the end of the direction of movement of the electronic component 1 extending from the mounting box 2.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 To facilitate understanding, the process of the elastic locking element 5 and the slider 41 forming a mutually supporting state is described below. First, the operator applies a large pushing force to the electronic component bracket 3, causing the slider 41 to move towards the elastic locking element 5 and compress the elastic locking element 5. The operator can release the electronic component bracket 3 while the elastic locking element 5 is being compressed by the slider 41, allowing the elastic locking element 5 and the slider 41 to support each other, thus making the electronic component bracket 3 stationary relative to the mounting box 2. Alternatively, the operator can release the electronic component bracket 3 after the slider 41 has completely passed the elastic locking element 5, allowing the slider 41 and the elastic locking element 5 to support each other in the sliding direction.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3To facilitate understanding, the process of removing electronic component 1 from the mounting box 2 is described below. First, the operator pushes the electronic component bracket 3, causing it to extend outwards from the mounting box 2, with the elastic locking member 5 and the slider 41 forming a mutually supporting state. Next, the operator removes the electronic component 1 from the electronic component bracket 3. Finally, the operator pushes the electronic component bracket 3 back into the mounting box 2. To facilitate the removal of electronic component 1, in some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic component bracket 3 has a receiving cavity with an opening 31. The electronic component 1 extends out of or retracts into the receiving cavity through the opening 31, and the orientation of the opening 31 is the same as the direction in which the electronic component bracket 3 extends out of the mounting box 2. Furthermore, in some optional embodiments of this application, the opening 31 is located at the end of the electronic component bracket 3 in the direction in which it extends out of the mounting box 2.
[0048] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 It should be explained that the elastic locking member 5 is at least partially located between the two extending surfaces, meaning that along the arrangement direction of the two extending surfaces, the elastic locking member 5 is at least partially located between the two extending surfaces. It is understood that, in order for the elastic locking member 5 to elastically deform and shorten, one end of the elastic locking member 5 is fixedly connected to one extending surface, and the other end is a free end for elongation and shortening. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the free end of the elastic locking member 5 is located between the two extending surfaces.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 The elastic locking member 5 can be implemented in various ways. For example, it can be a spring or flexible rod whose extension direction forms an angle with the extension direction of the guide rail 42. In some optional embodiments of this application, the elastic locking member 5 has a bent portion 51. At least one end of the elastic locking member 5 along the bent extension direction is fixedly connected to an extension surface. The bent portion 51 of the elastic locking member 5 protrudes outward toward the other extension surface. When the elastic locking member 5 elastically deforms, the end of the bent portion 51 near the other extension surface moves in the direction b of the two extension surfaces. With this structure, the bent portion 51 provides a deformation allowance for the elastic locking member 5, enabling it to undergo elastic deformation. The bent portion 51 of the elastic locking member 5 protrudes outward toward the other extension surface, resulting in a simple and reliable structure that is relatively easy to manufacture. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, both ends of the elastic locking member 5 along the bent extension direction are fixed to the guide rail 42, resulting in high stability during installation of the elastic locking member 5.
[0050] Generally, please refer to Figures 4 to 10The mounting box 2 includes a housing 21 and mounting components 22. The mounting components 22 have a plate-like structure, and there are multiple mounting components 22 arranged side by side. Electronic component brackets 3 are installed between the multiple mounting components 22. Guide rails 42 are formed on the mounting components 22, and elastic locking components 5 are fixed on the mounting components 22.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the bending extension direction of the bent portion 51 forms an angle with the perpendicular direction of the extension direction a of the guide rail. With this structure, the slider 41 slides along the bent portion 51 towards another extending surface during the process of pressing the elastic locking member 5. The streamlined shape of the bent portion 51 along the extension direction a of the guide rail provides a certain guiding effect, facilitating the smooth movement of the slider 41 along the guide rail 42 during the process of pressing the elastic locking member 5, without being significantly hindered by the elastic locking member 5. Furthermore, optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the bending extension direction of the bent portion 51 is parallel to the extension direction a of the guide rail.
[0052] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the number of elastic locking members 5 is two. The two elastic locking members 5 are respectively fixed to two extending surfaces and are arranged opposite each other along the arrangement direction b of the two extending surfaces. With this structure, during the process of the slider 41 pressing the elastic locking members 5, the slider 41 simultaneously presses both elastic locking members 5, which helps ensure that the slider 41 is in the middle position between the two extending surfaces and helps ensure the smooth movement of the electronic component bracket 3. Based on the aforementioned curved portion 51 formed by the elastic locking members 5, the two elastic locking members 5 are arranged opposite each other, so that when the slider 41 is supported by the elastic locking members 5, the two curved portions 51 of the two elastic locking members 5 can better wrap around one side of the slider 41 along the extension direction of the guide rail 42, which is beneficial to the stability of the support between the slider 41 and the elastic locking members 5. Based on this, in some optional embodiments of this application, the slider 41 is a protruding post. For ease of description, the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rail 42 and the arrangement direction of the two extending surfaces is called the first direction, and the protruding post extends into the space between the two extending surfaces along the first direction. This structural design improves the stability of the support provided by the slider 41 and the elastic locking element 5.
[0053] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10Optionally, in some alternative embodiments of this application, the elastic locking member 5 further includes an arc-shaped portion, the arc-shaped extension direction of which is perpendicular to the first direction, the outward convex direction of which is opposite to that of the curved portion 51, and the end of the arc-shaped portion in the arc-shaped extension direction abuts against the end of the curved portion 51 in the curved extension direction. This structural form is beneficial for further improving the tightness of the elastic locking member 5 in supporting the slider 41, thereby further improving the stability of the support between the slider 41 and the elastic locking member 5. Based on this, in some alternative embodiments of this application, each elastic locking member 5 has two arc-shaped portions, the two arc-shaped portions being located at both ends of the curved portion 51 along the curved extension direction.
[0054] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 To ensure the secure installation of the elastic locking member 5, in some optional embodiments of this application, the elastic locking member 5 includes a mounting portion 52 and an actuating portion 53. The mounting box 2 includes a mounting member 22, and a guide rail 42 is formed on the mounting member 22. For ease of description, the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rail 42 and the arrangement direction of the two extension surfaces is referred to as the first direction. The mounting portion 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting member 22 along the first direction. Along the arrangement direction b of the two extension surfaces, the mounting portion 52 is located outside the two extension surfaces. The actuating portion 53 extends in a direction close to the two extension surfaces and is used to undergo elastic deformation to elongate or shorten in the arrangement direction b of the two extension surfaces. It can be understood that the elastic locking member 5 is fixedly linked to an extension surface through the mounting portion 52. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, a connecting hole 521 is formed on the mounting portion 52. The connecting hole 521 is used to pass through a fastener so that the mounting portion 52 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 22. Fasteners can take many forms, such as bolts, screws, studs, or rivets, etc.
[0055] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting member 22 has a baffle formed on one side along the first direction along the extension surface, and the side of the baffle away from the two extension surfaces abuts against the mounting member 22. Based on this, in some optional embodiments of this application, a notch is formed on the baffle, the notch penetrating through opposite sides in the thickness direction of the baffle, and the actuating part 53 extends through the notch in a direction close to the two extension surfaces.
[0056] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, both the mounting portion 52 and the mounting member 22 are plate-shaped structures, with the extension direction of the extension surface parallel to the extension surfaces of the mounting portion 52 and the mounting member 22, and the plate surface of the mounting portion 52 fitting against the plate surface of the mounting member 22. This structural form facilitates the stable installation of the mounting portion 52 and the mounting member 22.
[0057] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 To ensure the stable installation of the actuating part 53, in some optional embodiments of this application, the extending surface is recessed inward in a direction away from the distance between the two extending surfaces to form a recess 421, and the actuating part 53 extends into the recess 421 along a first direction. This structure facilitates a tight fit between the actuating part 53 and the slider 41. Furthermore, in some optional embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the recess 421 is fitted against the actuating part 53. With this structure, the actuating part 53 is embedded in the recess 421, and the actuating part 53 and the guide rail 42 can be stably installed together. Of course, in some optional embodiments of this application, the actuating part 53 may not be fixed to the extending surface by the mounting part 52. Based on the recess 421 formed on the extending surface, the elastic locking member 5 may not include the mounting member 22, allowing the actuating part 53 to extend into the recess 421 along the first direction and be fixed to the inner wall of the recess 421.
[0058] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the actuating portion 53 has a plate-like structure, with the plate surface of the actuating portion 53 parallel to the extension surface of the bent portion 51. This structural form is beneficial for saving materials and for the stable installation of the actuating portion 53. It is understood that the bent portion 51 is formed on the side of the actuating portion 53 away from the recessed portion 421.
[0059] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the recessed portion 421 is recessed inward on the side away from the two extending surfaces to form a locking hole 4211, and the actuating portion 53 is formed with a latch 533 corresponding to the locking hole 4211, with the locking hole 4211 engaging with the latch 533. This structural form is beneficial to further improve the reliability of the actuating portion 53 installation.
[0060] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the side of the active part 53 closest to the mounting part 52 extends beyond the extension surface along the first direction. This structural configuration results in a thicker active part 53, which is beneficial for improving the reliability of the active part 53.
[0061] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, along the first direction, the side of the active part 53 closest to the mounting part 52 is lower than the active part 53. This structural form is beneficial for saving materials and for reducing the thickness of the active part 53 to increase its flexibility and ensure its elastic deformation capability.
[0062] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10In some optional embodiments of this application, an opening 531 is formed on the functional part 53. The opening 531 can be a blind hole or a through hole, etc., and the axial direction of the opening 531 is a first direction. With this structure, the opening 531 can increase the flexibility of the side of the functional part 53 away from the concave portion 421, thereby increasing the elastic deformation capability of the functional part 53. Based on this, in some optional embodiments of this application, the extending direction of the opening 531 corresponds to the bending extending direction of the bent portion 51.
[0063] Please refer to Figures 4 to 10 Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the side of the actuating portion 53 away from the recess 421 extends beyond the recess 421. This structural form facilitates a stable contact between the actuating portion 53 and the slider 41. Based on the elastic locking member 5 including the bent portion 51, in some optional embodiments of this application, the actuating portion 53 further includes a stop portion 532. The inner wall of the stop portion 532's recess 421 abuts against the guide rail in the extending direction a, and in the arrangement direction b of the two extending surfaces, the side of the stop portion 532 away from the recess 421 is flush with the extending surface where the recess 421 is formed. This structural form helps improve the smoothness of the slider 41's movement.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic component bracket 3 forms a receiving cavity for accommodating the electronic component 1. At least one of the two opposing sidewalls of the receiving cavity is provided with an elastic support member, which supports the electronic component 1 along the arrangement direction of the two sidewalls. With this structure, the elastic support member supports the electronic component 1, allowing it to be securely installed within the electronic component bracket 3. This replaces the method of connecting the electronic component 1 to the electronic component bracket 3 using fasteners such as screws. On the one hand, this simplifies the installation and disassembly process, as tools are not required to install or remove the electronic component 1 from the electronic component bracket 3. On the other hand, it improves the reliability of the electronic component 1 installation, as the elastic support member provides a certain buffering effect, helping to reduce the impact of vibration on the electronic component 1. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, both opposing sidewalls of the receiving cavity are provided with elastic support members.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13The elastic support can be made of various materials, such as shock-absorbing foam, sponge, or polymer materials like plastic or rubber. In some optional embodiments of this application, the elastic support has a plate-like structure, with its extended surface conforming to the extended surface of the inner wall of the receiving cavity. This structural form helps to increase the stability of the elastic support during installation and the stability of its support. To further increase the stability of the elastic support during installation, in some optional embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a mounting groove corresponding to the elastic support, and the elastic support is disposed within the mounting groove and mates with the inner wall of the mounting groove.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some optional embodiments of this application, the receiving cavity is formed with an opening 31, through which the electronic component 1 can extend into the receiving cavity. An elastic support is disposed on the side wall of the receiving cavity extending circumferentially along the opening 31. With this structure, the elastic support can support the electronic component 1 during the process of extending the electronic component 1 into the receiving cavity, which is conducive to the smooth insertion of the electronic component 1 into the receiving cavity.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some optional embodiments of this application, the electronic component 1 has a plate-like structure, and the receiving cavity is adapted to the shape of the electronic component 1. An elastic support is disposed on the sidewall extending along the thickness direction of the receiving cavity. With this structural form, the area of the sidewall extending along the thickness direction of the elastic support is relatively small, which helps improve the stability of the support by allowing the electronic component 1 to support it. Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, the sidewall extending along the thickness direction of the electronic component bracket 3 is used for sliding connection with the mounting box 2.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13Generally, the mounting box 2 includes a shell 21 and mounting components 22. The mounting components 22 have a plate-like structure, and there are multiple mounting components 22 arranged side by side. The electronic component bracket 3 is installed between the multiple mounting components 22. The electronic component bracket 3 includes a bottom shell 32, a surrounding plate 33, and a cover plate 34. Both the bottom shell 32 and the cover plate 34 extend along the thickness direction of the elastic support member. The cover plate 34 and the bottom shell 32 together surround the electronic component 1. The cover plate 34 and the bottom shell 32 are detachably connected and are used to openably cover the opening 31. The surrounding plate 33 extends along the plate surface of the electronic component 1, and both ends are fixedly connected to the bottom shell 32. A connector 8 is formed on the side of the electronic component bracket 3 away from the cover plate 34. The connector 8 is used to electrically connect the electronic component 1 with other electronic components. The elastic support member is set on the bottom shell 32. In some optional embodiments of this application, when the cover plate 34 is covering the opening 31, the cover plate 34 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 2, and the cover plate 34 needs to be opened before the electronic component bracket 3 can extend out of the mounting box 2. This structure helps to make the installation of the electronic component bracket 3 on the mounting box 2 more stable.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some optional embodiments of this application, at least one of the two opposing sidewalls of the receiving cavity has multiple elastic supports, and at least two elastic supports are spaced apart axially from the opening 31. This structural configuration improves the support effect on the electronic component 1. Furthermore, in some optional embodiments of this application, among the multiple elastic supports, the elastic support closer to the opening 31 has a larger contact area with the electronic component 1. This structural configuration provides better support and facilitates better utilization of the elastic support during the insertion of the electronic component 1. The elastic support farther from the opening 31 has a smaller contact area with the electronic component 1, which helps to save materials. Exemplary examples, in some optional embodiments of this application, the multiple elastic supports located on the same sidewall include a first elastic support 61 and two second elastic supports 62. The first elastic support 61, closer to the opening 31, has a larger contact area with the electronic component 1, while the second elastic supports 62, farther from the opening 31, have a smaller contact area with the electronic component 1. Along the thickness direction of the electronic component 1, the first elastic support 61 is located between the two second elastic supports 62. With this structural configuration, the support effect of the multiple elastic supports is relatively stable.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
