The first receiving portion 3231 is fixed to the first snap - on portion 3232. The first interface body 321 is provided with a first receiving groove 3211 for receiving the first receiving portion 3231. The first receiving groove 3211 restricts the position of the first receiving portion 3231 to prevent it from shaking and also facilitates the connection and fixation between the first receiving groove 3211 and the first receiving portion 3231; and / or, the second snap - on member 324 includes a second receiving portion 3241 and a second snap - on portion 3242. The second receiving portion 3241 is fixed to the second snap - on portion 3242.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The first receiving portion 3231 is provided with a third screw hole 32311, which corresponds to a first screw hole 31. When a first screw member 5 is screwed into the first screw hole 31, the screwing - in end of the first screw member 5 extends out of the first screw hole 31 and then is screwed into the third screw hole 32311 to lock and fix the first receiving portion 3231 and the first interface body 321, and / or, the second receiving portion 3241 is provided with a fourth screw hole 32411, which corresponds to another first screw hole 31.

[0042] For the above - mentioned second interface 33, please refer back to Figure 1 The second interface 33 and the first interface 32 are arranged on the same surface of the circuit board 1. The second interface 33 includes a second interface body (not labeled) and a mounting portion (not labeled) provided on the second interface 33 body.

[0045] It should be noted that the layout of at least four third mounting holes 13 on the circuit board 1 needs to be set with reference to the installation position of the heat dissipation fan, and no further examples will be given in this embodiment.

[0046] It can be understood that as a functional component dedicated to graphic computing processing, in order to ensure that the graphics card can work stably in a high-performance state, generally, the volume of the heat dissipation fan is relatively large, occupying most of the space of the graphics card main body. During the high-speed operation of the heat dissipation fan, relatively large vibrations will be generated. Under the long-term vibration state, the fixing screws of the heat dissipation fan screwed to the main board will become loose due to resonance. In this embodiment, the use of spring screws makes use of the spring part of the spring screws to provide a constant fastening force after installation, ensuring that the spring screws will not become loose even under the action of vibration or other external forces. And the spring also provides a certain buffering effect during the process of fixing the heat dissipation fan to the circuit board 1, which can reduce the risk of damage during the installation process of the heat dissipation fan and the circuit board 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, the functional module 1000 further includes a housing (not shown in the figure), and the housing is provided with a receiving cavity for receiving the above-mentioned circuit board 1, interface component 3, baffle 2 and heat dissipation component 4, which improves the structural strength of the functional module 1000 and increases the aesthetics.

The baffle 2 is provided with a communication hole 21 for the interface component 3 to pass through, and the baffle 2 can also prevent the electronic components on the circuit board 1 from being directly exposed to the external environment; the heat dissipation component 4 is fixed to the circuit board 1 to actively dissipate heat from the circuit board 1. By fixing the baffle 2 to the interface component 3, the baffle 2 is indirectly fixed to the circuit board 1, reducing the need to separately open holes on the circuit board 1 for fixing the baffle 2, and avoiding waste of the precious wiring space and electronic component placement space on the circuit board 1.
