[0002] IO card usually refers to input or output card, which is a computer hardware device used to expand the input and output capabilities of the computer. IO cards can be used for a variety of purposes, including data acquisition, control applications, communications, image processing, audio processing, etc. IO cards can be built-in or external, depending on their design and purpose. Built-in IO cards are usually inserted into the computer's expansion slots, such as PCI or PCIe slots, while external IO cards are connected to the computer via USB, Thunderbolt or other interfaces. IO cards are indispensable tools in industrial automation, scientific research, multimedia production and many other fields.
[0003] IO card interface refers to the physical and logical interface used when the input / output card is connected to a computer or other device. These interfaces define the mode, speed and protocol of data transmission. In daily use, whether it is a built-in IO card or an external IO card, most of them are installed in a plug-in manner. They are easy to fall off under vibration, shaking or touching. If they fall off during use, it is easy to cause the device to fail to recognize, the system to be unstable, data to be lost or damaged, the system to crash, etc., causing great losses.

The pin 14 is correspondingly inserted into the insert tube 33. The multi-level slot design not only optimizes the positioning accuracy of the socket and reduces errors, but also effectively protects the internal pins from damage, thereby extending the service life of the interface.
[0029] Reference Figure 4-5 The locking assembly 4 includes a movable box body 41 arranged at the upper and lower ends of the positioning plug 31, a movable groove 42 is provided in the movable box body 41, a locking block 43 is installed in the movable groove 42, the locking block 43 is matched with the locking plate 2, a movable plate 44 extends from one end of the locking block 43, the movable plate 44 is placed in the movable groove 42, and a plurality of compression springs 45 are provided at the bottom, and a button 46 is connected to the top, a mounting hole 47 for installing the button 46 is provided on the movable box body 41, and a matching positioning movable assembly 5 is also provided on the locking block 43 and the positioning plug 31.
[0030] Specifically, the positioning moving assembly 5 includes a slider 51 disposed on the locking block 43 near the positioning plug 31 , and a slide groove 52 is disposed at one end of the positioning plug 31 corresponding to the slider 51 . The slider 51 and the slide groove 52 have corresponding shapes and are both T-shaped.
[0031] In this embodiment, the locking block 43 and the locking plate 2 are used together to effectively prevent the connection from falling off due to vibration or misoperation, thereby increasing the reliability of the system. The entire locking and unlocking process can be completed by simply pressing a button, which provides convenience for users and is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent plugging and unplugging.

The button 46 is used to operate the locking assembly 4, drive the movable plate 44, and push the locking block 43 through the force of the compression spring 45. The locking block 43 cooperates with the locking plate 2 and the arc groove 431 to form a locked state, ensuring that the interface connection is stable and not easy to fall off. The design of the positioning moving assembly 5 further optimizes the locking position to ensure precise matching and smooth installation. In the event of power failure or other situations where the connection needs to be released, the operation button 46 releases the spring force, and the locking block 43 retreats to the original position accordingly, allowing the plug 3 to be smoothly removed from the socket 1, which not only ensures the convenience of use, but also improves the service life of the interface.
