[0093] During installation, the fastener 231 passes through the first through hole 2321 and the opening 601 and then extends into the threaded hole on the base 220. Since the support plate 600 is fixed to the chassis, the position of the opening 601 on the support plate 600 is fixed relative to the chassis. The position of the base 220 relative to the opening 601 is adjusted, and then the fastener 231 passes through the first through hole 2321 and the opening 601 and then extends into the threaded hole on the base 220.

[0094] In order to ensure a stable connection between the base 220 and the fastener 231, refer to Figure 5As shown, this embodiment provides four fasteners 231, and four first through holes 2321 are provided on the connecting plate 232, and the four first through holes 2321 are correspondingly distributed at the four corners of the connecting plate 232.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, the base 220 includes a fixing block 221 and a stop block 222, and the connecting hole 2211 is arranged on the side of the fixing block 221 facing the connecting plate 232; the position of the fixing block 221 is adjustable relative to the opening 601; and the circuit board 210 is fixed between the stop block 222 and the fixing block 221.

[0096] like Figure 5 Combined with Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the base 220 includes a fixing block 221 and a stop block 222, wherein a connecting hole 2211 is arranged on the side of the fixing block 221 facing the connecting plate 232, and a groove 2214 is arranged on the side of the fixing block 221 along the X-axis direction, and at least a part of the circuit board 210 is located in the groove 2214; the stop block 222 is detachably connected to the fixing block 221 for fastening the circuit board 210.

[0097] In this embodiment, the stopper 222 can be fixed to the fixing block 221 by a connecting member 223, i.e., a bolt, or the stopper 222 is clamped on the fixing block 221. The specific details can be determined according to actual conditions, and this specification does not limit this.

[0098] When the stopper 222 is connected to the fixing block 221 , the stopper 222 blocks the groove 2214 , so that when the circuit board 210 is at least partially located in the groove 2214 , the circuit board 210 can be fixed by the cooperation between the stopper 222 and the fixing block 221 .

[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 Combined with Fig. 9 , Figure 7 As shown, the circuit board 210 is provided with a first slot 213, the fixing block 221 is provided with a groove 2214 on one side facing the stopper 222, and the inner wall of the groove 2214 is provided with a first protrusion 2212; the first protrusion 2212 cooperates with the first slot 213; and / or,

[0102] In this embodiment, the number of first protrusions 2212 is equal to the number of first slots 213. When the circuit board 210 is placed in the groove 2214, the first protrusions 2212 are located in the first slots 213. In this way, under the limitation of the first protrusions 2212, the circuit board 210 can be prevented from moving in the Z-axis direction, so that the circuit board 210 is stably located in the fixed block 221.

[0103] At the same time, reference Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a second protrusion 214 may be further provided on one side or both sides of the circuit board 210 along the Y-axis direction. The specific protrusion 214 may be determined according to actual conditions, and this embodiment of the specification does not limit this.

[0110] After the circuit board 210 is at least partially located in the groove 2214, the stopper 222 is then fixed to the mounting groove 2215 on the fixed block 221 through the connecting piece 223. At this time, the stopper 222 covers the groove 2214. At the same time, the surface of the circuit board 210 along the X-axis contacts the surface of the stopper 222 along the X-axis, and the circuit board 210 is fixed between the stopper 222 and the fixed block 221.

[0111] Since the thickness of the stopper 222 is the same as the depth of the mounting groove 2215 , after the stopper 222 is fixed in the mounting groove 2215 , the stopper 222 will not protrude from the surface of the fixing block 221 , and the overall occupied space is small.

[0112] According to some embodiments of the present application, Fig.10 As shown, the circuit board 210 includes a connecting section 215, multiple gold fingers 211 and multiple terminal groups 212; wherein the multiple gold fingers 211 and the multiple terminal groups 212 are spaced apart and distributed in the same direction, and the multiple gold fingers 211 and the terminal groups 212 are located at both ends of the connecting section 215.

[0123] According to some embodiments of the present application, a tip portion 310 is provided at one end of the guide rod 300 away from the fixing block 221. Thus, when the end of the guide rod 300 away from the fixing block 221 is inserted into the insertion hole 410, the tip portion 310 first extends into the insertion hole 410, and since the tip portion 310 itself has a small cross-section, it is easy for the guide rod 300 to be inserted into the insertion hole 410.
