Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a radio frequency VPX board module. Background Art
[0002] When designing a VPX card module structure that includes a radio frequency signal, the radio frequency signal on the VPX backplane needs to be transmitted to the VPX connector through a cable.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN217606333U name: a VPX cooling and heat dissipation module) includes a mainboard and a storage unit arranged in a shell, each pair of storage units are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the mainboard, the shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell, a first heat conductive member is arranged between the storage unit and the upper shell, and the storage unit and the upper shell are respectively in contact with the first heat conductive member, a second heat conductive member is arranged between the mainboard and the lower shell, and the mainboard and the lower shell are respectively in contact with the second heat conductive member. The utility model arranges multiple storage units symmetrically inside the VPX cooling and heat dissipation module, making full use of the internal space and meeting the requirements of large-capacity storage. At the same time, a first heat conductive member is provided between the upper shell and the storage unit, and a second heat conductive member is provided between the lower shell and the board. The first heat conductive member and the second heat conductive member allow the internal equipment to fully contact with the upper and lower shells, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency and enhancing the heat dissipation capacity. However, it hides the cables inside the structural member. When assembling the VPX backplane, it is necessary to first connect the RF head on the VPX backplane and the VPX RF connector with cables, and then install the VPX backplane on the structural member. During the installation of the VPX backplane, the cables are invisible, and since there are multiple heat dissipation bosses inside the structural member, the cables are easily scratched during assembly. Moreover, due to the assembly sequence, when the internal cables need to be replaced during later debugging, the VPX backplane needs to be removed again and the cables need to be replaced, resulting in poor reliability and maintainability.
