[0029] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments:

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides an installation structure of a PXI switch module, wherein the PXI switch module generally includes a plurality of RF coaxial switches 4, a first PCB board 5 and a second PCB board 6, the installation structure includes a backplane 1 and a slot board 2, the slot board 2 is vertically fixedly installed at the bottom end of the backplane 1 through a fixing member 3, a plurality of RF coaxial switches 4 are respectively fixedly installed above the slot board 2, and a plurality of RF coaxial switches are closely arranged and installed along the length direction of the slot board 2, the first PCB board 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the backplane 1 and is located between the backplane 1 and the RF coaxial switch 4, the RF coaxial switch 4 is plugged into the first PCB board 5, and the second PCB board 6 is fixed at the top end of the first PCB board 5 and passes through the top end of the first PCB board 5 and is fixed to the top end of the backplane 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, both sides of the first PCB board 5 are provided with threaded holes, and the first PCB board 5 is bolted to the back plate 1. After all PXI switch modules are fixed to the mounting structure, the entire structure is mounted on the back plate 1 of the PXI chassis.

[0033] The focus of this application is on how to install and integrate the components of the PXI switch module to make the entire structure compact. The specific circuit composition and working principle of each part of the PXI switch module (such as the RF coaxial switch) use existing technologies. The first PCB board 5 is provided with a functional circuit for completing PCI to FPGA communication, and the second PCB board 6 is provided with a functional circuit. The function of the functional circuit is to output high and low levels under the control of the first PCB board 5 to control the RF coaxial switch. It should be noted that the functional circuit on the first PCB board and the functional circuit on the second PCB are both existing commonly used circuits and will not be described in detail in this article.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the fixing member 3 includes an integrally formed first mounting block 31 and a second mounting block 32, the first mounting block 31 is fixed to the bottom end of the back plate 1, and the second mounting block is fixed to the end of the slot plate 2. The first mounting block 31 is provided with a threaded hole perpendicular to the plane of the back plate 1, and the first fixing block is fixed to the back plate 1 by bolts, and the second mounting block 32 is provided with a screw hole perpendicular to the slot plate 2 and parallel to the back plate 1, and the second mounting block 32 is fixed to the slot plate 2 by bolts. Since the first mounting block 31 and the second mounting block 32 are integrally formed, the back plate 1 and the slot plate 2 are vertically fixedly connected together. In order to reduce the size of the fixing member 3, the first mounting block 31 and the second mounting block 32 are connected in a Z shape, so that the yield structure formed by the first mounting block 31 and the second mounting block 32 can be just clamped on the square flange of the RF coaxial switch at the end of the slot plate 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the RF coaxial switch 4 includes a housing 41, and the circuit and components of the RF coaxial switch are installed inside the housing 41. The housing 41 is plugged into the first PCB board 5. The first port 44 and the second port are respectively opened at both ends of the housing 41. The first port 44 passes through the slot plate 2 and is located below the slot plate 2. The housing 41 is fixedly installed above the slot plate 2, and the second port is connected to the second PCB board 6. A square flange seat 42 is provided between the housing 41 and the slot plate 2. The housing 41 and the flange seat 42 are integrally formed. The four corners of the flange seat 42 are provided with mounting bolts to fix the housing 41 above the slot plate 2. Optionally, the housing 41 is a cylindrical structure. The axis of the RF coaxial switch 4 is installed parallel to the length direction of the first backplane 1. The slot plate 2 is provided with a through hole slot with the RF coaxial switch 4. The size of the through hole slot is smaller than the flange seat 42, so that the end of the RF coaxial switch 4 can pass through the through hole slot and then be fixed to the slot plate 2 through the flange seat 42.

[0036] In order to avoid the connector 43 used in the second port being too large, which would cause the overall structure to become larger, in the present application, the second port is connected to the second PCB board 6 through the J30J-9ZJ connector 43.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, studs 7 are provided between both ends of the bottom of the second PCB board 6 and the first PCB board 5 , one end of the stud 7 is threadedly connected and fixed to the second PCB board 6 , and the other end is threadedly connected to the first PCB board 5 .

[0038] In order to facilitate the extraction of the entire PXI switch module and its mounting structure from the PXI chassis, a pull handle 8 is installed below the slot plate 2 .

[0039] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
