It is convenient and fast, and does not require precise alignment of screw holes or additional screw-driving procedures to achieve fast and convenient assembly, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting portion of this example includes two step surfaces 201 and two support columns 202 for placing the PCBA board, which are used to support the four sides of the PCBA board 3. In addition, in this example, a limiting pin 203 is provided on each of the two support columns 202, and a limiting hole 302 corresponding to the position of the limiting pin 203 is provided on the PCBA board 3. During assembly, the limiting hole 302 on the PCBA board 3 is directly sleeved on the limiting pin 203 to complete the limiting of the installation position of the PCBA board 3.

[0031] Preferably, the limiting hole 302 of this example is an oblong hole or a capsule-shaped hole, and its area is larger than that of the limiting pin 203 , so that the PCBA board 3 can be conveniently sleeved on the limiting pin 203 , thereby reducing the assembly accuracy, and the position of the PCBA board 3 can also be fine-tuned through the limiting hole 302 .

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this example optimizes the structure of the PCBA board 3 and the fixing plate 4, making the assembly of the utility model more convenient.
