[0026] An embodiment of the present application provides a pluggable module structure.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a pluggable module structure includes a module body 1, a bracket 2, a quick-release screw 3 and a mounting base 4, the bracket 2 is a U-shaped structure, the middle connecting rod 21 of the U-shaped structure abuts the end face of the module body 1 facing away from the connector (wherein the connector is a device for electrically connecting and communicating with the end of the module body inserted into the interior of the device, and one end of the module body connected to the connector is generally understood as the inner end, and the other end is understood as the outer end), the module body 1 is fixedly connected to the two side rods 22 of the U-shaped structure, the middle connecting rod 21 of the U-shaped structure is provided with a connecting plate 23 protruding from the bottom surface and / or top surface of the module, the connecting plate 23 is provided with a first hole 24, a second hole 26 and a connecting groove 25, the first hole 24 and the second hole 26 are connected through the connecting groove 25, and the inner diameter of the first hole 24 is larger than that of the U-shaped structure. Regarding the inner diameter of the second hole 26, a radially protruding limiting step 31 is provided on the screw rod of the quick-release screw 3. The outer diameter of the limiting step 31 is larger than the inner diameter of the second hole 26 and smaller than the inner diameter of the first hole 24. The spacing between the opposite sides of the connecting groove 25 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first hole 24 and the second hole 26. The connecting groove 25 is located in the middle connecting the first hole 24 and the second hole 26. The limiting step 31 and the screw head end face of the quick-release screw 3 form a transition shaft 32. The screw rod of the quick-release screw 3 and the limiting step 31 pass through the first hole 24. The transition shaft 32 enters the second hole 26 from the first hole 24 through the connecting groove 25. A threaded hole 44 is provided on the end face of the mounting substrate 4 facing away from the connector, which is aligned with the second hole 26 and cooperates with the quick-release screw 3 (wherein, the end face of the mounting substrate 4 facing away from the connection is generally the outer end face).

[0028] The thickness of the middle connecting rod 21 of the U-shaped bracket 2 along the length of the two side rods 22 ranges from 1.5 to 3 mm. The distance between the second hole 26 and the side surface of the connecting groove 25 on the same side is 0.5 to 1 mm. The length of the transition shaft 32 is 0.1 to 0.2 mm greater than the thickness of the middle connecting rod 21.

[0029] When disassembling the module, turn the quick-release screw 3, and the limiting step 31 abuts the connecting plate 23 around the second hole 26. As the quick-release screw 3 is withdrawn, the limiting step 31 drives the connecting plate 23 away from the mounting substrate 4, thereby driving the module body 1 to withdraw from the mounting substrate 4. The withdrawal of the module body 1 is completed simultaneously in the process of turning the quick-release screw 3.

[0030] The mounting base 4 includes a base surface 41 abutting against the bottom surface of the module and a slide rail 42 mounted on the base surface 41 . The slide rail 42 is provided with a slide groove along the vertical connector end surface. The two side rods 22 of the U-shaped structure slide along the side rods 22 along the slide groove.

[0031] The sidewall of the chute away from the base surface 41 is gradually inclined toward the base surface 41 along the insertion direction of the module body 1, and the two side rods 22 of the U-shaped structure are tightly pressed against the chute. The angle range of the inclined side of the chute is 1-10 degrees.

[0032] The two side rods 22 of the U-shaped structure, facing away from the base surface 41, gradually tilt toward the base surface 41 from one end of the middle connecting rod 21 to the other. When the quick-release screw 3 is screwed into the threaded hole 44 of the mounting base 4, it drives the bracket 2 and module body 1 into the slide slot until the inclined surface of the bracket 2 aligns with the inclined surface of the slide slot, locking the module body 1. The downward pressure exerted by the inclined surface ensures that the bottom surface of the module is in close contact with the base surface 41 of the mounting base 4, ensuring a proper heat dissipation path for the module. When the quick-release screw 3 is unscrewed from the threaded hole 44, it drives the bracket 2 and module out of the mounting base 4, simplifying the module installation structure while allowing the module to be removed.

[0033] The transition shaft 32 includes a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction. The length of the transition shaft 32 in the first direction is smaller than the length in the second direction. The distance between the connecting groove 25 and the relative side wall is greater than or equal to the length in the first direction and smaller than the length in the second direction.

[0034] When installing the quick-release screw 3, the screw rod and the limit platform pass through the first hole 24, and the side of the transition shaft 32 perpendicular to the first direction corresponds to the side of the through groove, so that the quick-release screw 3 can pass through the connecting groove 25 to reach the second hole 26. During the rotation of the quick-release screw 3, the transition shaft 32 is not easy to slide into the first hole 24 through the connecting groove 25, and the stable limit step 31 is in contact with the second hole 26.

[0035] The sidewall of the transition shaft 32 includes opposing flat surfaces 33 and opposing arcuate surfaces 34. The flat surfaces 33 and arcuate surfaces 34 are arranged alternately. The arcuate surfaces 34 are arranged cocircularly with the screw, and the spacing relative to the flat surfaces 33 is less than the outer diameter of the screw. The distance between the opposing flat surfaces 33 is the length in the first direction, and the maximum distance between the opposing arcuate surfaces 34 is the length in the second direction.

[0036] The module body 1 is assembled on the two side rods 22 of the U-shaped structure by countersunk screws on both sides.

[0037] A groove 43 matching the connecting plate 23 is provided on the end surface of the mounting substrate 4 facing away from the connector. The module body 1 is mounted on the substrate and the connecting plate 23 is placed in the groove 43 .

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
