Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat dissipation technology, specifically to a quick-release mechanism, a heat dissipation module, and equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some functional modules, such as liquid-cooled and air-cooled modules, are typically directly fixed to metal brackets. This fixing process requires a large number of screws, making the assembly process quite cumbersome. Furthermore, after fixing the functional module to the metal bracket, the metal bracket also needs to be secured to the equipment chassis using screws or rivets to complete the assembly of the functional module.

[0003] Therefore, due to the large number of screws and rivets used in the installation process, the maintenance and replacement of functional modules is a rather cumbersome process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a quick-release mechanism, a heat dissipation module and equipment to solve the problem of cumbersome procedures when maintaining and replacing functional modules.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a quick-release mechanism, the quick-release mechanism comprising:

[0006] The module mounting base is provided with mounting positions suitable for installing functional modules; the bottom of the module mounting base is provided with a clip; the module mounting base is also provided with a locking pin.

[0007] The base is provided with a slot, and the card is adapted to be inserted into the slot; the base is provided with a locking element for inserting a locking pin, and an unlocking element for disengaging the locking pin from the locking element;

[0008] After the card is fully inserted into the slot, the locking pin is fully inserted into the locking element, fixing the module mounting base to the base; use the unlocking element to disengage the locking pin from the locking element, the card is disengaged from the slot, and the module mounting base is separated from the base.

[0009] Beneficial Effects: In this embodiment of the invention, the base of the quick-release mechanism can be directly installed onto the equipment first, the functional module can be pre-installed into the mounting position of the module mounting base, and finally the module mounting base can be installed onto the base. During installation, simply insert the clip into the slot, and the locking pin will automatically insert into the locking member and lock, thus allowing the module mounting base to be installed onto the base. During disassembly, the unlocking member can be used to unlock the module, causing the locking pin and locking member to disengage, allowing the functional module and module mounting base to be disassembled together for replacement. Alternatively, a mechanism for easy disassembly of the functional module can be provided at the mounting position, such as a snap-fit ​​and a groove suitable for snap-fit ​​insertion, facilitating easy disassembly and installation. Therefore, the process for maintaining and replacing functional modules is simplified, achieving rapid disassembly and assembly. Simultaneously, there is no need to install a metal bracket, nor to fix the metal bracket to the equipment chassis with screws or rivets. This avoids the metal bracket obstructing some functional modules, such as the air-cooled module, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the air-cooled module.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the card includes an end portion and a body portion connected together, one end of the body portion being connected to the bottom of the module mounting base, and the other end of the body portion being connected to the end portion; the end portion is adapted to be inserted into a card slot.

[0011] Beneficial effects: In the embodiments of the present invention, by inserting the end of the card into the card slot to fix the module mounting base and the base, the interference fit between the end of the card and the card slot can be used to simplify the fixing method of the module mounting base and the base, thereby facilitating quick assembly and disassembly by technicians.

[0012] In one alternative implementation, the card slot includes:

[0013] An insertion hole is provided to accommodate the end of the card; the radius of the insertion hole is greater than or equal to the radius of the end of the card.

[0014] The guide hole communicates with the insertion hole; the extension direction of the guide hole is the same as the insertion direction of the locking pin into the locking member; the diameter of the guide hole is smaller than the end radius of the locking member, and the diameter of the guide hole is larger than the body radius of the locking member.

[0015] After the end of the card is fully inserted into the insertion hole, move the module mounting base along the guide hole towards the locking member so that the locking pin is fully inserted into the locking member, and fix the module mounting base on the base; after using the unlocking member to disengage the locking pin from the locking member, the module mounting base moves back, and after the end of the card is aligned with the insertion hole, the module mounting base separates from the base.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By setting the card slot as an interconnected insertion hole and guide hole, the card is inserted into the insertion hole and then moves along the guide hole, so that the locking pin is fully inserted into the locking member. In this way, it can not only be fixed by the locking member, but also be engaged by the guide hole, thereby strengthening the stability of the connection between the module mounting base and the base and improving the overall structural strength.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the clip is an I-beam nail, with the end of the clip being the head of the I-beam nail and the body of the clip being the body of the I-beam nail.

[0018] In one alternative implementation, the base includes:

[0019] The housing has a slot; the interior of the housing has a receiving cavity that communicates with the slot.

[0020] The first reset element is disposed in the receiving cavity;

[0021] The movable seat is connected to the first reset member and is movably disposed in the receiving cavity;

[0022] After the end of the card is fully inserted into the insertion hole, the end abuts against the movable seat. The module mounting seat moves along the guide hole towards the locking member, and the first reset member is compressed. After the locking pin is disengaged from the locking member using the unlocking member, the first reset member springs back. Under the action of the first reset member, the module mounting seat automatically returns to its original position.

[0023] Beneficial effects: By setting a first reset component, during the unlocking process, only the unlocking component needs to be operated to unlock the locking pin. Under the elastic action of the first reset component, the module mounting base will automatically return to its original position, and the technician can then remove the module mounting base from the base without any additional operation on the module mounting base. This further simplifies the operation process and improves the efficiency of quick disassembly.

[0024] In one alternative implementation, the movable seat includes:

[0025] The base is movably disposed in the receiving cavity; after the end of the clip is fully inserted into the insertion hole, the end abuts against the base;

[0026] A guide pin is located on one side of the base; after the first reset component is fitted onto the guide pin, it extends outward through a through hole in the housing.

[0027] In one alternative implementation, the base further includes:

[0028] Guide components are mounted on the base.

[0029] The ejector seat has a guide cylinder on the side near the guide member, and the guide cylinder is sleeved on the guide member; the ejector seat has an alignment groove on the side near the insertion hole, and the end of the clip passes through the insertion hole and is inserted into the alignment groove.

[0030] The second reset member is disposed inside the guide member, and the bottom of the second reset member is connected to the bottom of the guide member, and the top of the second reset member is connected to the guide cylinder; when the second reset member is in its original position, the ejector seat abuts against the housing; when the second reset member is compressed, the ejector seat separates from the housing.

[0031] After the end of the card is inserted into the alignment slot, the second reset member is compressed and moves the module mounting base along the guide hole towards the locking member; after the module mounting base and the ejector base automatically return to their original positions, the second reset member springs back.

[0032] Beneficial Effects: This embodiment of the invention, by providing a ejector seat and a second reset member, allows the locking piece to move along the guide hole after being inserted into the insertion hole, ensuring the locking pin is fully inserted into the locking member. Since the second reset member is in a compressed state at this time, it presses the ejector seat against the base housing, enhancing the stability of the connection between the module mounting base and the base. Furthermore, after unlocking, with the automatic return of the movable seat and the ejector seat, when the ejector seat reaches below the insertion hole, the elasticity of the second reset member automatically ejects the end of the locking piece out of the insertion hole. Technicians only need to pick up the module mounting base without additional operation, further simplifying the operation process.

[0033] In one alternative embodiment, the guide is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the ejector seat is provided with a limiting notch, the limiting protrusion being adapted to be inserted into the limiting notch.

[0034] Beneficial effects: By setting limiting protrusions and limiting notches, the ejector seat will not deviate from its original installation position when it is pressed down, under the elastic action of the second reset member, thus ensuring the overall stability of the structure.

[0035] Secondly, the present invention also provides a heat dissipation module, the heat dissipation module comprising:

[0036] Quick-release mechanism as described in any of the above embodiments;

[0037] The cooling module is installed in the mounting position of the module mounting bracket.

[0038] In one alternative implementation, the cooling module is a cooling fan.

[0039] In one optional embodiment, a first through hole is provided at the bottom of the cooling fan, and a second through hole is provided on the module mounting base, with the first and second through holes being provided correspondingly; after the fixing pin is inserted into the first and second through holes in sequence, the cooling fan and the module mounting base are fixed.

[0040] Thirdly, the present invention also provides an apparatus comprising:

[0041] A quick-release mechanism as described in any of the above embodiments, or a heat dissipation module as described in any of the above embodiments;

[0042] The base is mounted on the equipment.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, the device is provided with guide ribs, and the movable seat of the base is provided with guide grooves suitable for embedding the guide ribs. The travel distance of the guide ribs in the guide grooves is the same as the travel distance of the movable seat. Attached Figure Description

[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0068] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can also refer to the internal connection of two components; and they can refer to a wireless connection or a wired connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0069] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0070] Currently, some functional modules, such as liquid-cooled and air-cooled modules, are typically directly mounted on metal brackets. This mounting process requires a large number of screws, making the assembly process quite cumbersome. Furthermore, after mounting the functional module to the metal bracket, the bracket itself needs to be secured to the equipment chassis using screws or rivets to complete the module assembly. Therefore, due to the extensive use of screws and rivets during installation, the maintenance and replacement of functional modules is also quite complicated.

[0071] In view of this, the present invention provides a quick-release mechanism, a heat dissipation module and equipment to solve the problem of cumbersome procedures when maintaining and replacing functional modules.

[0072] The following is combined Figures 1 to 15 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a quick-release mechanism is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, the quick-release mechanism includes a module mounting base 2 and a base 3. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the module mounting base 2 is provided with a mounting position 24 suitable for installing the functional module 1. In fact, in this embodiment, the module mounting base 2 and the functional module 1 can be pre-installed. During maintenance, the functional module 1 can be maintained directly, and during replacement, the module mounting base 2 and the functional module 1 can be replaced together. In this way, the module mounting base 2 and the functional module 1 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. For fixed connections, welding, bonding, etc., can be used. For detachable connections, screw holes, snap-fit ​​grooves, or magnetic attraction can be used for fixing.

[0074] The following is an example illustrating the detachable connection method. For instance, additional fixing plates can be provided around the edges of functional module 1. Those skilled in the art can change the number of fixing plates according to actual needs—one, two, three, four, etc. Screw holes are then made on the fixing plates. On the module mounting base 2, another screw hole is made at the corresponding screw hole position on the mounting position 24. Screws are then passed sequentially through the screw holes on the fixing plates and the screw holes on the module mounting base 2 to connect functional module 1 to the module mounting base 2. This method is more suitable for pre-installed modules. If the module mounting base 2 and functional module 1 are separate, then a snap-fit ​​groove method or a magnetic attraction method is more suitable.

[0075] Furthermore, when using a snap-fit ​​and groove method for fixation, snap-fits can be additionally provided around the edges of the functional module 1. Those skilled in the art can change the number of snap-fits according to actual conditions, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then, grooves that can cooperate with the snap-fits are formed on the mounting position 24 at the corresponding positions. The snap-fits on the functional module 1 are then directly embedded into the grooves on the mounting position 24, thereby connecting the functional module 1 to the module mounting base 2. When using a magnetic attraction method for fixation, magnetic sheets can be additionally provided around the edges of the functional module 1. Those skilled in the art can change the number of magnetic sheets according to actual conditions, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then, dissimilar magnetic sheets that can attract the magnetic sheets are formed on the mounting position 24 at the corresponding positions. The magnetic sheets on the functional module 1 are then directly aligned with the dissimilar magnetic sheets embedded in the module mounting base 2, thereby magnetically connecting the functional module 1 to the module mounting base 2.

[0076] Of course, this embodiment is merely an example of fixed connection and detachable connection, but it does not limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to the actual situation to achieve the same technical effect.

[0077] Furthermore, in embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the module mounting base 2 is provided with a locking member 22, and the module mounting base 2 is also provided with a locking pin 21. Correspondingly, the base 3 is provided with a slot, and the locking member 22 is adapted to be inserted into the slot. The base 3 is provided with a locking member 34 for the locking pin 21 to be inserted, and an unlocking member 33 for disengaging the locking pin 21 from the locking member 34. Specifically, the locking pin 21 can be cylindrical, with multiple grooves circumferentially provided at the end of the cylinder. An elastic member is provided in the groove, and a protrusion is provided at the end of the elastic member. When no external force is applied to the protrusion, the protrusion can protrude circumferentially from the cylinder. When an external force is applied to the protrusion, the protrusion can retract completely into the cylinder. In this way, the locking member 34 can be cylindrical, with a through hole at the end of the cylindrical shape, which is suitable for the protrusion to enter. When the locking pin 21 is fully inserted into the locking member 34, the protrusion moves outward, thereby entering the through hole, thereby locking the locking pin 21 into the locking member 34. When unlocking, the unlocking member 33 can retract the protrusion into the locking pin 21, so that the locking pin 21 can be pulled outward from the locking member 34.

[0078] Furthermore, during actual installation, after the clip 22 is fully inserted into the slot, the locking pin 21 is fully inserted into the locking member 34, thereby fixing the module mounting base 2 onto the base 3. During actual disassembly, the unlocking member 33 can be used to disengage the locking pin 21 from the locking member 34 and the clip 22 from the slot, separating the module mounting base 2 from the base 3.

[0079] In this embodiment of the invention, the quick-release mechanism's base 3 can be directly installed onto the device first, the functional module 1 can be pre-installed onto the mounting position 24 of the module mounting base 2, and finally the module mounting base 2 can be installed onto the base 3. During installation, simply insert the clip 22 into the slot, and the locking pin 21 will automatically insert into the locking member 34 to lock it in place, thus allowing the module mounting base 2 to be installed onto the base 3. During disassembly, the unlocking member 33 can be used to unlock the module, causing the locking pin 21 and the locking member 34 to disengage, allowing the functional module 1 and the module mounting base 2 to be disassembled together for replacement. Alternatively, a mechanism for easy disassembly of the functional module 1 can be provided at the mounting position 24, facilitating easy disassembly and installation. Therefore, the process for maintaining and replacing the functional module is simplified, achieving rapid disassembly and installation. Furthermore, there is no need to install a metal bracket or fix it to the device chassis with screws or rivets. This avoids the metal bracket obstructing some functional modules 1, such as the air-cooled module, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the air-cooled module.

[0080] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the card 22 includes an end portion and a body portion connected together, one end of the body portion being connected to the bottom of the module mounting base 2, and the other end portion being connected to the end portion, the end portion being adapted to be inserted into a card slot.

[0081] With this configuration, in this embodiment of the invention, by inserting the end of the card 22 into the card slot to fix the module mounting base 2 and the base 3, the interference fit between the end of the card 22 and the card slot can be used to simplify the fixing method of the module mounting base 2 and the base 3, thereby facilitating quick assembly and disassembly by technicians.

[0082] Furthermore, in an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the slot includes an insertion hole 35 and a guide hole 36. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the insertion hole 35 is adapted to extend into the end of the card piece 22, and the radius of the insertion hole 35 is greater than or equal to the end radius of the card piece 22. The guide hole 36 communicates with the insertion hole 35, and the extending direction of the guide hole 36 is the same as the insertion direction of the locking pin 21 into the locking member 34. The diameter of the guide hole 36 is smaller than the end radius of the card piece 22, and the diameter of the guide hole 36 is larger than the body radius of the card piece 22. That is to say, the slot is similar to the arrangement of a gourd hole, and the card piece 22 has an overall structure that is larger at the end and smaller in the body.

[0083] During actual installation, after fully inserting the end of the clip 22 into the insertion hole 35, the technician can control the module mounting base 2, or the functional module 1 and the module mounting base 2 as a whole, to move along the guide hole 36 towards the locking member 34, so that the locking pin 21 is fully inserted into the locking member 34, thereby fixing the module mounting base 2 onto the base 3. During actual disassembly, the unlocking member 33 can be used directly to unlock the module. After the locking pin 21 is disengaged from the locking member 34, the technician manually moves the module mounting base 2 back. Once the end of the clip 22 is aligned with the insertion hole 35, the module mounting base 2 can be manually pulled outwards, separating it from the base 3.

[0084] With this configuration, the present invention sets the slot as an interconnected insertion hole 35 and guide hole 36, so that after the card 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 35, it moves along the guide hole 36, so that the locking pin 21 is fully inserted into the locking member 34. In this way, not only can it be fixed by the locking member 34, but the card 22 can also be engaged by the guide hole 36, thereby strengthening the stability of the connection between the module mounting base 2 and the base 3 and improving the overall structural strength.

[0085] In one optional embodiment, the locking element 22 is an I-beam nail, with the end of the locking element 22 being the head of the I-beam nail and the body of the locking element 22 being the body of the I-beam nail. Of course, this embodiment is merely an example of the type of locking element 22, but it is not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to actual circumstances to achieve the same technical effect.

[0086] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the base 3 includes a housing 38, a first reset member 44, and a movable seat 4. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the housing 38 has a slot, and the interior of the housing 38 has a receiving cavity 39, which communicates with the slot. The first reset member 44 is disposed in the receiving cavity 39. The movable seat 4 is connected to the first reset member 44 and is movably disposed in the receiving cavity 39. That is, when an external force is applied to the movable seat 4, causing the movable seat 4 to move along the stretching or compression direction of the first reset member 44, the first reset member 44 will store energy. Then, when the movable seat 4 is released in this state, the movable seat 4 will reset under the action of the first reset member 44.

[0087] Furthermore, in conjunction with this embodiment of the invention, after the end of the locking member 22 is fully inserted into the insertion hole 35, the end abuts against the movable seat 4. In this way, the module mounting base 2, the locking member 22, and the movable seat 4 will move simultaneously. When the module mounting base 2 moves along the guide hole 36 towards the locking member 34, the first reset member 44 is compressed. After the unlocking member 33 disengages the locking pin 21 from the locking member 34, the movable seat 4 is in a released state. In this way, the first reset member 44 springs back, and under the action of the first reset member 44, the movable seat 4 automatically returns to its original position, and the movable seat 4, through the locking member 22, drives the module mounting base 2 to automatically return to its original position.

[0088] Of course, the first reset member 44 can also be stretched when the module mounting base 2 is moved along the guide hole 36 towards the locking member 34. After the locking pin 21 is disengaged from the locking member 34 using the unlocking member 33, the movable base 4 is in the released state. In this case, the first reset member 44 springs back, and under the action of the first reset member 44, the movable base 4 automatically returns to its original position, and the movable base 4 drives the module mounting base 2 to automatically return to its original position via the locking member 22. However, in this case, the technician needs to change the setting position of the first reset member 44 accordingly.

[0089] With this configuration, in this embodiment of the invention, by setting the first reset member 44, during the unlocking process, only the unlocking member 33 needs to be operated to unlock the locking pin 21. Under the elastic action of the first reset member 44, the module mounting base 2 will automatically return to its original position, and the technician can then remove the module mounting base 2 from the base 3. This eliminates the need for any additional operation on the module mounting base 2, further simplifying the operation process and improving the efficiency of quick disassembly.

[0090] In this embodiment of the invention, the first reset member 44 can be a reset spring or elastic rubber. Of course, this embodiment is merely an example illustrating the type of the first reset member 44, and is not intended to limit its use. Those skilled in the art can modify it according to actual circumstances to achieve the same technical effect.

[0091] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the movable seat 4 includes a seat body and a guide pin 43. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the seat body is movably disposed in the receiving cavity 39. After the end of the locking member 22 is fully inserted into the insertion hole 35, the end abuts against the seat body. The housing 38 has a through hole 37 on the side where the locking member 34 is located. The guide pin 43 is disposed on one side of the seat body, and the position of the guide pin 43 is on the same side as the through hole 37. In this way, after the first reset member 44 is fitted onto the guide pin 43, it can pass outward through the through hole 37 in the housing 38.

[0092] During actual installation, as the module mounting base 2 moves towards the locking member 34, the guide pin 43 gradually extends out of the through hole 37. As the length of the guide pin 43 in the receiving cavity 39 gradually decreases, the length of the first reset member 44 also gradually decreases, and the first reset member 44 is gradually compressed. After the unlocking member 33 disengages the locking pin 21 from the locking member 34, the movable base 4 is in a released state. In this case, the first reset member 44 springs back, and under the action of the first reset member 44, the movable base 4 automatically returns to its original position. The movable base 4 also drives the module mounting base 2 to automatically return to its original position via the locking member 22.

[0093] In the current embodiment, the module mounting part slides directly on the base 3, which causes significant wear on both the module mounting part and the surface of the base 3 during prolonged use, hindering the long-term operation of the equipment. Therefore, in this embodiment, a slide rail is provided at the bottom of the module mounting part, and a corresponding groove is provided on the end face of the base 3 near the module mounting part. This way, when the module mounting part is placed on the base 3, the slide rail will fall directly into the groove. Due to the cooperation between the slide rail and the groove, wear between the module mounting part and the base 3 is significantly reduced, extending the service life. Of course, the length of the groove needs to be greater than the slide rail, and the travel distance of the slide rail on the groove should be the same as the travel distance of the card 22.

[0094] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, both the slide rail and the slide groove can be made of wear-resistant insulating material. The wear-resistant insulating material can be made of engineering plastics, plastics, or other polymer materials.

[0095] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention uses wear-resistant and insulating materials for the slide rails and grooves. Compared to ordinary metals, although wear-resistant and insulating materials will experience wear during use, the resulting debris is far less than that of ordinary metals due to the material properties of the wear-resistant and insulating materials. Therefore, the generated debris will not affect the normal use of the equipment. Since the debris is insulating, it will not cause short circuits to the internal circuitry of the equipment.

[0096] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the wear-resistant insulating material is at least one of engineering plastics or plastics. Specifically, engineering plastics possess excellent comprehensive properties, including high rigidity, low creep, high mechanical strength, good heat resistance, and good electrical insulation. They can be used for extended periods in harsh chemical and physical environments and can replace metals as engineering structural materials. The main component of plastic raw materials is carbon-containing compounds. Plastics are primarily composed of high-molecular synthetic resins, infused with various auxiliary materials or additives. Under specific temperature and pressure conditions, they possess plasticity and fluidity, can be molded into a certain shape, and retain that shape under certain conditions. Furthermore, plastics exhibit good electrical, thermal, and acoustic insulation properties, excellent arc resistance, and superior performance in heat insulation, sound insulation, sound absorption, vibration absorption, and noise reduction.

[0097] With this configuration, embodiments of the present invention select an engineering plastic or plastic as the wear-resistant insulating material, utilizing the high heat resistance, flexural strength, fatigue resistance, and excellent wear resistance and insulation properties of engineering plastics or plastics, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the slide rail and slide groove.

[0098] Furthermore, polyoxymethylene (POM) can be chosen as the engineering plastic. POM is a thermoplastic crystalline polymer, often referred to as "super steel" or "acetal." POM is a tough and elastic material that retains excellent creep resistance, dimensional stability, and impact resistance even at low temperatures. POM exists in both homopolymer and copolymer forms. Homopolymers possess excellent tensile strength and fatigue strength. Copolymers exhibit good thermal and chemical stability and are easy to process. Both homopolymers and copolymers are crystalline materials and do not readily absorb moisture. They also exhibit high fatigue strength and good wear resistance.

[0099] Furthermore, in an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the base 3 also includes a guide member 42, an ejector seat 5, and a second reset member 41. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the guide member 42 is disposed on the base body. The ejector seat 5 is provided with a guide cylinder 52 and an alignment groove 51. The ejector seat 5 has a guide cylinder 52 disposed on the side near the guide member 42, and the guide cylinder 52 is sleeved on the guide member 42. The ejector seat 5 has an alignment groove 51 disposed on the side near the insertion hole 35, and the end of the clip 22 passes through the insertion hole 35 and is inserted into the alignment groove 51. In this way, when the module mounting base 2 drives the clip 22 to move, the clip 22 will also drive the ejector seat 5 to move synchronously.

[0100] Furthermore, the second reset member 41 is disposed within the guide member 42, with its bottom connected to the bottom of the guide member 42 and its top connected to the guide cylinder 52. Regarding the state of the second reset member 41, when it is in its original position, the ejector seat 5 abuts against the housing 38. When the second reset member 41 is compressed, the ejector seat 5 separates from the housing 38.

[0101] During actual installation, after the end of the clip 22 is inserted into the alignment slot 51, the second reset member 41 is compressed, moving the module mounting base 2 along the guide hole 36 towards the locking member 34. At this time, the first reset member 44 is compressed until the locking pin 21 is locked together with the locking member 34. After the unlocking member 33 is used to disengage the locking pin 21 from the locking member 34, the movable base 4 is in the released state. In this case, the first reset member 44 springs back, and under the action of the first reset member 44, the module mounting base 2 and the ejector base 5 automatically return to their original positions. Then, the alignment slot 51 of the ejector base 5 aligns with the insertion hole 35, the second reset member 41 springs back, and the clip 22 is ejected from the insertion hole 35.

[0102] With this configuration, in this embodiment of the invention, by setting up the ejector seat 5 and the second reset member 41, the locking member 22, after being inserted into the insertion hole 35, moves along the guide hole 36, so that the locking pin 21 is fully inserted into the locking member 34. Since the second reset member 41 is in a compressed state at this time, it can press the ejector seat 5 against the housing 38 of the base 3, which can enhance the stability of the connection between the module mounting base 2 and the base 3. Furthermore, after unlocking, as the movable seat 4 and the ejector seat 5 automatically return to their original positions, when the ejector seat 5 reaches below the insertion hole 35, under the elastic action of the second reset member 41, the end of the locking member 22 is automatically ejected out of the insertion hole 35. Technicians only need to pick up the module mounting base 2 without performing any additional operations, thereby further simplifying the operation process.

[0103] Furthermore, in an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the guide member 42 is provided with a limiting protrusion 421, and the ejector seat 5 is provided with a limiting notch 53. The limiting protrusion 421 is adapted to be inserted into the limiting notch 53. Specifically, the limiting protrusion 421 can be set along the compression direction of the second reset member 41, and correspondingly, the limiting notch 53 also needs to be set along the compression direction of the second reset member 41.

[0104] With this configuration, the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the limiting protrusion 421 and the limiting notch 53, ensures that when the ejector seat 5 is pressed down, it will not deviate from the original mounting position 24 under the elastic action of the second reset member 41, thus ensuring the overall stability of the structural component.

[0105] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, the present invention also provides a heat dissipation module, which includes a quick-release mechanism as described in any of the above embodiments, and a cooling module. Specifically, the cooling module is disposed on the mounting position 24 of the module mounting base 2.

[0106] Furthermore, in an alternative embodiment, the cooling module can be a cooling fan.

[0107] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, a first through hole is provided at the bottom of the cooling fan, and a second through hole is provided on the module mounting base 2, with the first through hole and the second through hole being provided correspondingly; after the fixing pin 23 is inserted into the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence, the cooling fan and the module mounting base 2 are fixed.

[0108] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, the present invention also provides a device comprising a quick-release mechanism as described in any of the foregoing embodiments, or a heat dissipation module as described in any of the foregoing embodiments. Furthermore, a base 3 is mounted on the device.

[0109] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the device is provided with a guide rib 32, and the movable seat 4 of the base 3 is provided with a guide groove 31 suitable for the guide rib 32 to be embedded. The movement stroke of the guide rib 32 in the guide groove 31 is the same as the movement stroke of the movable seat 4.

[0110] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
