DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0024] With the widespread use of electronic devices, the technology of their internal components is being updated and iterated more frequently. Among them, electronic devices may include desktop computers, laptops, tablets or mobile phones.

[0025] For ease of explanation, the embodiment of the present disclosure takes the electronic device as a laptop computer as an example to illustrate the present solution.

[0026] In the application process of notebook computers, one of the 2242 model SSD (Solid State Drive) cards and the 2280 model SSD cards is often used. The positioning module provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure aims to provide an environment that is convenient for assembly and disassembly to adapt to the length dimensions of two different models of SSD cards, and does not require the use of tools for disassembly.

[0027] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a positioning module 001, including: a mounting plate 10 and a positioning base 30, wherein the positioning base 30 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 10. Specifically, the mounting plate 10 has a first mounting position 20, which is an area for assembly. It should be noted that the first mounting position 20 can be set at any position of the mounting plate 10. The first mounting position 20 has a first positioning structure 21 and a first elastic structure 22; the positioning base 30 is inserted into the first positioning structure 21 along a first direction, and the first direction can be understood as one of the length direction or the width direction of the positioning base 30. Along the insertion direction of the positioning base 30, the first positioning structure 21 is located at the front side of the first elastic structure 22, and the first positioning structure 21 and the first elastic structure 22 act together on the positioning base 30, so that the positioning base 30 can achieve a stable limiting state relative to the mounting plate 10, and cannot automatically detach without external force operation, and the first mounting position 20 can be set at any position of the mounting plate 10, or the first mounting position 20 and the first positioning structure 21 and the first elastic structure 22 located at the first mounting position 20 can be pre-set at two positions on the mounting plate 10, respectively, and the two positions can adapt to different SSD card length size requirements. In this way, this solution can adapt to the fixation of 2242 model SSD (Solid State Drive, solid state hard disk storage) cards and 2280 model SSD cards at the same time.

[0028] Exemplarily, the first positioning structure 21 provides a sliding space for the positioning base 30. Specifically, the first positioning structure 21 has a first accommodating groove 2111 for inserting the positioning base 30 of at least a part of the structure, and the first accommodating groove 2111 has a blocking edge that blocks the positioning base 30 from moving away from the mounting plate 10. Exemplarily, the first positioning structure 21 includes a pair of limiting protrusions 211, the limiting protrusions 211 have the first accommodating groove 2111, and the first accommodating groove 2111 has a first top surface 21111 and a first side surface 21112, wherein the first top surface 21111 is the bottom surface of the blocking edge. In this way, the first top surface 21111 can be used to directly provide a blocking force to the positioning base 30 to block it from moving away from the mounting plate 10.

[0029] Considering that the positioning base 30 will not move out through the first accommodating groove 2111, the first positioning structure 21 also includes a front blocking block 212, so that the front blocking block 212 is used to block the positioning base 30 from continuing to move forward along the first direction, and the front side of the positioning base 30 is pressed or contacted with the blocking block.

[0030] In addition, the positioning base 30 includes a lower limit portion 31 and an upper limit portion 32, and at least a part of the structure of the lower limit portion 31 is used to insert into the aforementioned first accommodating groove 2111. Exemplarily, the lower limit portion 31 is configured as a plate-like structure, and both sides of the plate-like structure can be inserted into the first accommodating groove 2111 of the aforementioned first positioning structure 21. In order to facilitate the insertion operation, a gap is left between the first accommodating groove 2111 and the lower limit portion 31 along the height direction thereof, that is, the thickness dimension of at least a part of the structure of the lower limit portion 31 is smaller than the distance between the first top surface 21111 in the first accommodating groove 2111 and the surface of the mounting plate 10.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper limit portion 32 includes a hand-held portion 321 and an anti-rotation portion 322; along the insertion direction of the positioning base 30, the hand-held portion 321 is located at the rear side of the anti-rotation portion 322; the hand-held portion 321 is used to facilitate hand operation, and the anti-rotation portion 322 is used to achieve locking and positioning of the part to be positioned. Specifically, the anti-rotation portion 322 has a snap-fit ​​sub-portion 3221 that snaps with the part to be positioned, and the snap-fit ​​sub-portion 3221 is constructed as a concave structure or a convex structure. The part to be positioned includes but is not limited to an SSD (Solid State Drive, solid state hard disk storage) card. Exemplarily, the part to be positioned is one of the 2242-type SSD (Solid State Drive) card and the 2280-type SSD card. Both of these SSD cards have a concave structure on one side. In order to lock and position the SSD card, the upper limit portion 32 has a convex structure that matches the concave structure. Furthermore, the upper limit portion 32 also has a card slot 3222, which is engaged with the edge 222 of the SSD card. Furthermore, the card slot 3222 is engaged with the card edge 222 of the SSD card near its concave structure. In addition, when the part to be positioned has a convex structure, the anti-rotation portion 322 of the embodiment of the present disclosure has a concave structure that matches and engages with it.

[0032] By adopting the above scheme, the positioning structure can be limited to the first positioning structure 21 along its own height direction, and the SSD card is locked in the positioning structure. The front side of the positioning structure has a front blocking block 212 for blocking, and it can also be pulled out along the rear side of the first accommodating groove 2111. In order to prevent the positioning structure from falling out relative to the rear side of the first accommodating groove 2111, the positioning module 001 of the disclosed embodiment also includes a first elastic structure 22. During the assembly process, the first elastic structure 22 elastically presses against the bottom of the positioning base 30. When the positioning base 30 is installed on the first positioning structure 21, the first elastic structure 22 is pressed against the rear side of the positioning base 30. In this way, the positioning base 30 can be prevented from falling out from the rear side of the first accommodating groove 2111 in the absence of external force.

[0033] Specifically, the first mounting position 20 is configured as a mounting hole on the mounting plate 10. The mounting hole of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes but is not limited to regular hole structures such as square holes and circular holes, and can also be set to an irregular hole structure. At least one first elastic structure 22 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole. Exemplarily, the first elastic structure 22 is configured as a spring structure extending along the insertion direction of the positioning base 30. In this way, during assembly, it is necessary to manually press the spring structure downward and make room for assembly so that the positioning base 30 can be smoothly inserted into the first accommodating groove 2111. After the positioning base 30 is inserted into the first accommodating groove 2111, the spring structure presses against the rear side of the positioning base 30. In this way, the spring structure and the front blocking block 212 jointly limit the disengagement of the positioning base 30 along the first direction, and the two limiting protrusions 211 and the surface of the mounting plate 10 jointly limit the disengagement of the positioning base 30 along their own height direction.

[0034] Considering the structural stability of the spring sheet structure relative to the mounting hole, there is a stress concentration point between the spring sheet structure and the inner wall of the mounting hole. The spring sheet structure has a chamfer 221 at the stress concentration point. The chamfer 221 can be formed by soldering or can be a setting in which the spring sheet structure and the mounting plate 10 are an integrated structure when the material is received.

[0035] Considering the combined application of the spring sheet structure and the front blocking block 212 , the spring sheet structure is at least partially protruded from the surface of the mounting plate 10 , so that a direct blocking of the positioning base 30 can be formed.

[0036] Considering that the spring sheet structure is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole and the position of the positioning base 30 is higher than the position of the mounting hole, the spring sheet structure is constructed to have a structure bent toward the positioning base 30 relative to the surface of the mounting plate 10, so as to further realize the direct abutment or contact of the spring sheet structure with the rear side of the positioning base 30 higher than the position of the mounting hole, and play a blocking role.

[0037] Further considering the structural strength of the spring structure itself, the spring structure includes a first surface close to the positioning base 30 and a second surface away from the positioning base 30, and reinforcing ribs are connected between the second surface and the mounting plate 10. The provision of the reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength of the spring structure itself.

[0038] In summary, the method of inserting the positioning base 30 into the first positioning structure 21 along one side direction is adopted, which is easy to operate and convenient to disassemble; further, a first elastic structure 22 is arranged at the bottom of the positioning base 30, and the first positioning structure 21 provides a limiting structure for the positioning base 30 to limit its upward movement, that is, provides a downward force on the positioning base 30, so that under the joint action of the first elastic structure 22 and the first positioning structure 21, the positioning base 30 can be stably restricted on the mounting plate 10. In addition, according to actual application requirements, two or more first mounting positions and the first positioning structure and the first elastic structure located at the first mounting position can be arranged on the mounting plate at the same time, so as to adapt to the fixation of two or more different types of SSD cards.

[0039] The disclosed embodiment also provides an electronic device, including the positioning module 001, which is installed in the housing of the electronic device, and the mounting plate 10 can be the housing of the electronic device, or the mounting plate 10 can also be a circuit board, which depends on the actual application. All the effects of the positioning module 001 can be achieved, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps recorded in this disclosure can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions disclosed in this disclosure can be achieved, and this document does not limit this.

[0041] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0042] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present disclosure, which should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
