[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a connection structure, including:

[0038] A connecting portion 1, wherein a first end of the connecting portion 1 is used to connect to a substrate 4;

[0039] A base 2, part of which is used to be disposed between the substrate 4 and the functional module 5 to support the functional module 5;

[0040] The second end of the connecting portion 1 can be close to or away from the base 2 . When the second end of the connecting portion 1 is close to the base 2 , the second end of the connecting portion 1 can be engaged with the base 2 to clamp the functional module 5 .

[0041] Specifically, the connection part 1 is used to firmly connect the functional module 5 and the base plate 4, and provide a convenient installation and removal mechanism. The connection part 1 may include a chain and a clamping part; the first end of the chain may be fixedly connected to the base by a bolt or a quick-release fastener; the second end of the chain may be connected to the clamping part by a bolt shaft or a snap-fit ​​connection, and the clamping part may be clamped with the base 2 to jointly clamp the functional module 5.

[0042] The base 2 is responsible for supporting the functional module 5, and cooperates with the connecting part 1 to achieve the clamping of the functional module 5. In order to ensure the positioning effect of the functional module 5. The base 2 is adapted to the shape of the clamping part. When the docking part and the base 2 are accurately clamped, the clamping part can contact with the functional module 5, and cooperate with the base 2 to achieve the stable clamping and positioning of the functional module 5.

[0043] The base 2 can be spaced apart from the slot on the substrate 4 to cooperate with the slot to ensure the stability of the functional module 5. The specific setting position of the base 2 can be designed according to the size of the functional module 5 and the position of the slot to ensure that the base 2 can effectively carry the functional module 5. For example, the first side of the functional module 5 is set to be inserted into the slot of the substrate 4, and the base 2 can be used to support the second side of the functional module 5 opposite to the first side; or, the base 2 can be used to support the third side of the functional module 5 adjacent to the first side. In order to ensure the stability of the functional module 5, the present application preferably has the base 2 support the second side of the functional module 5 to cooperate with the slot to jointly ensure the stability of the installation of the functional module 5 and ensure the effect of the plug-in of the functional module 5.

[0044] The height of the base 2 can match the height of the slot on the base plate 4 to ensure that the functional module 5 can be firmly level with the base plate 4, thereby optimizing the plug-in effect of the functional module and achieving a stable and reliable connection between the functional module 5 and the slot. The base 2 can be bolted or bonded to the base plate 4.

[0045] The connection structure provided by the present application realizes a stable and fast connection between the functional module 5 and the substrate 4 by providing the connection part 1 and the base 2. The first end of the connection part 1 is connected to the substrate 4, avoiding the problem of traditional screw loss and ensuring the reliability of the connection structure in long-term use; the second end of the connection part 1 can be flexibly close to or away from the base 2 to achieve a simple clamping operation; when away from the base 2, the connection part 1 and the base 2 are easily separated, which is convenient for the disassembly of the functional module 5; when close to and clamped with the base 2, the connection part 1 and the base 2 cooperate to clamp and fasten the functional module 5, effectively preventing it from shaking and ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, it also includes:

[0047] The grounding unit 3 is arranged on the base 2; when the second end of the connecting portion 1 is engaged with the base 2, the functional module 5 is grounded through the grounding unit 3; when the connecting portion 1 is separated from the base 2, the functional module 5 is in a non-grounded state.

[0048] Specifically, when the second end of the connecting part 1 is connected to the base 2, the functional module 5 is grounded through the grounding unit 3 to release the static charge generated by the functional module 5 and prevent static electricity from affecting the signal transmission of the functional module 5; when the base 2 and the connecting part 1 are not connected, the grounding unit 3 is in a non-grounded state, which can prevent accidental current from passing through, reduce the risk of short circuit, protect the safety of operators and equipment, and also reduce unnecessary electromagnetic interference.

[0049] The grounding unit 3 may include a spring and an ejector pin. The base 2 may be made of a metal material with good electrical conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. The base 2 may have an accommodating space, in which a spring is disposed and fixedly connected to the base 2, and the spring is connected to the ejector pin. The connection between the connecting portion 1 and the base 2 can compress the spring to drive the ejector pin to move, so that the ejector pin contacts the grounding point in the base 2, thereby forming a grounding path, and the static electricity generated by the functional module 5 can be quickly released to the ground through the base 2, the spring and the ejector pin. When the connecting portion 1 is separated from the base 2, the natural restoring force of the spring causes the ejector pin to retreat from the grounding point, and the functional module 5 is not grounded. The grounding unit 3 may be made of a metal material with good electrical conductivity, such as copper or aluminum.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the grounding unit 3 includes:

[0051] A first conductive member 31 is disposed on the base 2;

[0052] The second conductive member 32 is disposed on the connecting portion 1 ; the second end of the connecting portion 1 passes through the first conductive member 31 and is engaged with the base 2 , so that the second conductive member 32 is in close contact with the functional module 5 and the first conductive member 31 , respectively.

[0053] Specifically, the second conductive member 32 can be connected to the ground layer of the substrate 4. When the connection portion 1 and the base 2 are connected, the second conductive member 32 can be in close contact with the functional module 5 and the first conductive member 31, which not only enhances the stability of electrical contact and the reliability of grounding, but also ensures that the static electricity generated by the functional module 5 can be efficiently guided to the ground layer of the substrate 4 through the second conductive member 32 and the first conductive member 31, thereby achieving static electricity release. The grounding operation steps are significantly simplified, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of assembly.

[0054] The second end surface of the connecting part 1 may be coated with a conductive coating, or the second end of the connecting part 1 may be made entirely of a conductive material to form a second conductive member 32. The first conductive member 31 may be connected to the base 2 by welding or clamping.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the grounding unit 3 is ring-shaped, C-shaped or U-shaped.

[0056] Specifically, in order to improve the compactness of the overall structure, the first conductive member 31 can be in the form of a sheet. The specific shape of the first conductive member 31 can be designed according to different application scenarios. For example, in an environment requiring high protection, the first conductive member 31 can be arranged in a ring shape around the base 2. When the connecting portion 1 is connected to the base 2, it forms a closed loop with the second conductive member 32 to ensure the continuity and stability of the grounding path; the outer edge of the ring-shaped first conductive member 31 can protrude toward the direction close to the second end of the connecting portion 1, and the second conductive member 32 is adapted to the shape of the first conductive member 31 to increase the contact area between the two and improve the stability and reliability of the grounding path; in a compact device with limited space, the first conductive member 31 can be C-shaped or U-shaped, and is arranged on the side of the base 2 close to the functional module 5.

[0057] The grounding unit 3 can be electrically connected to the grounding layer of the substrate 4 through a wire. Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the grounding unit 3 is electrically connected to the base 2 , and the base 2 is used to be electrically connected to the grounding layer of the substrate 4 .

[0058] Specifically, the base 2 can be made of a conductive material, and the base 2 can be firmly connected to the substrate 4 by welding or direct casting, ensuring a close combination of the base 2 and the substrate 4. Using the base 2 as a grounding medium for the grounding unit 3 simplifies the overall structural design, improves assembly convenience, reduces additional parts and assembly steps, and reduces costs.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first end of the connecting portion 1 is rotatably connected to the substrate 4;

[0060] Specifically, the first end of the connection part 1 can be configured with a rotary joint, and the substrate 4 can be provided with a through hole. The rotary joint is rotatably connected to the substrate 4 through the through hole, and the connection part 1 and the substrate 4 are connected or separated by rotation, which simplifies the operation process.

[0061] Alternatively, the first end of the connecting portion 1 is slidably connected to the substrate 4 .

[0062] Specifically, a slider may be configured at the first end of the connection part 1, and a slide groove may be provided at the base plate 4, through which the slider is slidably connected to the base plate 4. The sliding allows the connection part 1 to flexibly adjust its position as required to adapt to functional modules 5 of different sizes or shapes, thereby enhancing the compatibility and flexibility of the connection structure.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first end of the connecting portion 1 is configured with a claw 11 , and part of the claw 11 can pass through the through hole of the base plate 4 and be rotatably connected to the base plate 4 .

[0064] Specifically, the claw buckle 11 can be claw-shaped, hook-shaped or finger-shaped, etc. The claw buckle 11 is made of elastic material, such as thermosetting material or thermoplastic material, etc. When the claw buckle 11 is extended into the through hole, it is squeezed and deformed. When it passes through the through hole, it will automatically unfold under the action of elastic force and contact with the other side of the substrate 4 to achieve tight locking.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 1 includes an elastic member, a first end of the elastic member is used to connect to the substrate 4, and a second end of the elastic member is configured with a first clamping portion 12, and the first clamping portion 12 can be clamped with the base 2.

[0066] Specifically, the elastic member can be in the shape of a strip. The specific material of the elastic member is not limited, for example, it can be made of a thermosetting material or a thermoplastic material; or, a metal spring can be used, as long as it can provide a rebound force to achieve the dynamic requirements of the connection and separation of the connecting part 1 and the base 2. The elastic member can also be a spring. The structure of the first clamping part 12 can refer to the aforementioned clamping part. The material of the first clamping part 12 can be the same as that of the elastic member, or it can be different.

[0067] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 1 includes a flexible member, a first end of the flexible member is used to connect with the substrate 4 , and a second end of the flexible member is configured with a second clamping portion, and the second clamping portion can be clamped with the base 2 .

[0068] Specifically, the flexible member has a certain length and flexibility. For example, the flexible member can be a braided cable or a flexible cable, etc., and its flexibility is used to achieve flexible connection and convenient separation between the connecting part 1 and the base 2. By adjusting the length and material properties of the flexible member, the design can adapt to functional modules 5 of different sizes and shapes, enhance the versatility and flexibility of the connection structure, and ensure wider applicability.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 2 includes:

[0070] The cylinder 21 has a first end that can be snap-fitted with the second end of the connecting portion 1 , and the second end of the cylinder 21 extends outwardly along the axial direction of the cylinder 21 to form a supporting portion 22 , and the supporting portion 22 is used to connect with the substrate 4 , and the supporting portion 22 is used to support the functional module 5 .

[0071] Specifically, the base plate 4 can be provided with a mounting hole, and the second end of the cylinder 21 can be extended into the mounting hole and snap-fitted with the mounting hole to achieve precise positioning of the base 2 and improve the accuracy of assembly; the support portion 22 can be fitted with the base plate 4, and the two can be connected by welding or bolts, and reinforced by welding or bolting to ensure a stable connection between the base 2 and the base plate 4, enhance the strength and durability of the entire structure, and make the functional module 5 more secure after installation.
