Detailed implementation manners

[0037] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0038] Currently, the fixation of existing storage modules is achieved by using the metal ear clips on both sides of the memory slot. When the storage module is inserted into the memory slot, the metal ear clips are engaged with the anti-fooling notch on the storage module, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the storage module. However, this solution has a complex manufacturing process, and the welding of the metal ear clips and the memory slot is prone to defects. When replacing the storage module, the metal ear clips are prone to plastic deformation during the disassembly and assembly process, resulting in the problem of non-returnability. Based on the above problems, the present application provides a latch structure.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present utility model provides a latch structure. As Figures 1 - 7 shown, a latch structure 1 is applied to a storage module 2, and the latch structure 1 includes,

[0040] a base 11, which internally forms an accommodating cavity 12 having an opening 111;

[0041] an engaging member 13, the first end of which is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 12, and the second end passes through the opening 111 and protrudes from the base 11. An outwardly convex convex portion 131 is formed on the second end of the engaging member 13;

[0042] The elastic member 14 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 12 and the first end of the elastic member 14 is connected to the accommodating cavity 12, and the second end is connected to the first end of the locking member 13; the elastic member 14 is configured to form an elastic force on the locking member 13 to drive the locking member 13 to move toward the storage module 2, so that the locking protrusion 131 is clamped on the storage module 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic member 14 may be a spring, which has elastic force when subjected to external force and can return to its original state when the external force is removed. The engaging member 13 is a sheet-like structure, and the cross-sectional shape of the engaging protrusion 131 formed on the engaging member is generally triangular in shape. The lower surface of the engaging protrusion 131 is a planar structure, which can guide the movement of the storage module 2. For example, the engaging protrusion 131 can be formed by extending outward from the main body of the engaging member 13, and the width of the engaging protrusion 131 and the engaging member 13 are the same. The engaging protrusion 131 and the engaging member 13 are an integral part, for example, the engaging member can be integrally formed by a mold, which is simple and convenient to manufacture, and enables the engaging member 13 to have a certain strength.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking structure 1 is used to replace the metal ear buckle on the memory slot 3, and the protruding portion 131 on the locking member 13 guides the storage module 2. When the two sides of the storage module 2 are respectively inserted between the protruding portion 131 and the base 11, and moved toward the memory slot 3 until it is completely inserted into the memory slot 3, the locking member 13 can be driven by the elastic member 14 to move toward the storage module 2, so that the protruding portion 131 is clamped on the storage module 2, and the purpose of fixing the storage module 2 in the vertical direction is achieved. Therefore, when the storage module 2 needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to move the locking member 13 away from the storage module 2, and then pull the storage module 2 out of the memory slot 3, and then withdraw from the locking structure 1 along the guidance of the protruding portion.

[0045] In which, the storage module 2 moves toward the memory slot 3 until it is inserted into the memory slot 3, and the engaging member 13 is driven by the elastic member 14 to make the protruding portion 131 clamped on the storage module 2. Specifically, Figures 9 - 12 As shown, according to the structure of the existing storage module 2, a part of the base 11 is located below the storage module 2. When the storage module 2 needs to be inserted into the memory slot 3, the engaging member 13 is manually moved away from the storage module 2. At this time, the elastic member 14 connected to the engaging member is compressed to accumulate elastic force, and then the two sides of the storage module 2 are placed between the protruding portion 131 and the upper surface of the base 11. Under the guidance of the protruding portion 131, the storage module 2 is inserted into the memory slot 3, and the engaging member 13 is released. At this time, the engaging member 13 will move toward the storage module 2 under the elastic force of the elastic member 14, so that the protruding portion 131 is clamped on the upper surface of the storage module 2, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the storage module 2 vertically. Figure 12It can be seen from the figure that only a small part of the engaging member 13 is accommodated in the notch 21 of the storage module 2 , and the engaging protrusion 131 is engaged with the upper surface of the storage module 2 near the notch 21 .

[0046] Alternatively, the position of the engaging member 13 can be set corresponding to the notch 21 of the storage module 2. When the storage module 2 moves toward the memory slot 3 along the guide of the engaging protrusion 131, the elastic member 14 is compressed to accumulate elastic force until the storage module 2 is inserted into the memory slot 3. At this time, the notch 21 of the storage module 2 corresponds to the position of the engaging protrusion 131, and the engaging member 13 loses the squeezing force of the storage module 2. The elastic member 14 instantly releases the elastic force, driving the engaging member 13 to move toward the storage module 2, so that the engaging protrusion 131 thereon is clamped on the storage module 2, forming a vertical clamping force on the storage module 2. At this time, the engaging member 13 located below the engaging protrusion is accommodated in the notch 21, thereby limiting the horizontal displacement of the storage module 2. In order to prevent the locking structure 1 from interfering with the existing storage module 2 during movement, the width of the locking member 13 can be smaller than the width of the notch 21, the protrusion 131 can be adaptively slightly longer, and the outer structure of the base can be adaptively constructed into a polygonal shape according to the storage module 2, as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the storage module 2.

[0047] Therefore, by setting the lock structure 1, the memory slot 3 does not need to add a metal ear buckle structure and the corresponding surface mount welding technology, so the storage module 2 can be fixed, which reduces the production cost. It also avoids the quality and assembly risks caused by the failure of the metal ear buckle to rebound during the disassembly and assembly of the storage module, and improves the disassembly and assembly experience of the storage module. Therefore, by setting the lock structure, the present application can facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the storage module 2 and improve the fixing and disassembly efficiency of the storage module 2.

[0048] The lock structure of the present application is applied to electronic devices, including but not limited to laptop computers and desktop computers, wherein the storage module may be a DDR (double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory).

[0049] In one embodiment, a protruding stopper 132 is formed on the second end of the engaging member 13. The stopper 132 is disposed below the protruding portion 131. The stopper 132 is used to be engaged with the notch 21 of the storage module 2 to prevent the storage module 2 from shifting in the horizontal direction.

[0050] For example, from Figures 1 - 5 As can be seen in the figure, the stopper 132 is formed by extending outward from the side edge of the second end of the engaging member 13, the outer surface of the stopper 132 is a planar structure, the width of the stopper 132 is smaller than the width of the engaging member 13 and the stopper 132 is arranged away from the memory slot 3. Figures 9 - 12As shown in the figure, when the storage module 2 needs to be inserted into the memory slot 3, the two sides of the storage module 2 abut against the surface of the stopper 132, squeezing the engaging member 13 outwards, so that the elastic member 14 connected to the engaging member is squeezed to accumulate elastic force. Under the guidance of the convex portion 131, the storage module 2 continuously moves towards the memory slot 3 until it is completely inserted into the memory slot 3. At this time, the notch 21 of the storage module 2 just moves to the position of the stopper 132. At the same time, the stopper 132 on the engaging member 13 loses the extrusion force from the storage module 2, and the elastic member 14 instantly releases the elastic force, driving the engaging member 13 to move towards the storage module 2. Thus, the convex portion 131 on the engaging member is engaged with the upper surface of the storage module 2, clamping the storage module 2 vertically, and at the same time, the stopper 132 is clamped in the notch 21 to prevent the storage module 2 from moving horizontally. Among them, when the storage module 2 is inserted into the memory slot 3, the notch 21 on the storage module 2 is arranged corresponding to the position of the stopper 132 of the engaging member.

[0051] In this embodiment, by setting the stopper 132, it can cooperate with the convex portion 131 to fix and limit the movement of the storage module in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction respectively. Further, when the notch of the storage module moves to the position of the stopper instantaneously, that is, the moment when the side of the storage module close to the notch exits from the stopper, in order to enable the stopper to be smoothly engaged into the notch, the lower half of the side of the stopper 132 close to the memory slot can be set as an inclined surface, so that there can be a little gap between the stopper 132 and the notch 21, which can also limit the movement of the storage module in the horizontal direction.

[0052] For example, the convex portion 131 and the stopper 132 formed on the engaging member 13 can be made into an integrally formed part by a mold. This can simplify the production while improving the strength of the engaging member 13.

[0053] In one embodiment, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, the locking structure 1 further includes a limiting groove 15. The limiting groove 15 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 12, and the engaging member 13 is accommodated in the limiting groove 15. The limiting groove 15 is used to limit the maximum displacement of the engaging member 13 when it is driven by the elastic member 14.

[0054] For example, as Figure 4 shown, the limiting groove 15 extends upward from the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 12, and the height of the limiting groove 15 is less than the height of the accommodating cavity 12. The limiting groove 15 is arranged away from the elastic member 14, so that the elastic member 14 is located between the wall surface of the accommodating cavity and the limiting groove; and the stopping side surface 151 of the limiting groove 15 away from the elastic member 14 can be a closed surface or provided with an opening, as long as the width of the opening is less than the width of the first end of the engaging member 13, it can prevent the movement of the engaging member 13.

[0055] As Figures 3 - 4As shown, the limiting groove 15 is arranged below the opening 111. The first end of the engaging member 13 is received in the limiting groove 15 and contacts the bottom surface of the limiting groove 15. When the engaging member 13 moves away from or towards the storage module 2, the first end of the engaging member 13 is always received in the limiting groove 15 and contacts the bottom surface of the limiting groove 15. When the elastic member 14 drives the engaging member 13 towards the storage module 2 and the engaging protrusion 131 on the engaging member engages with the storage module 2, the side surface of the first end of the engaging member 13 abuts against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 15.

[0056] For example, the maximum displacement is less than or equal to the displacement when the elastic member 14 deforms under an external force and returns to its original shape after the external force is removed. When the engaging protrusion 131 on the engaging member 13 engages with the storage module 2, the side surface of the first end of the engaging member 13 abuts against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 15. At this time, the elastic member 14 just returns to its original state, loses its elastic force, or at this time the elastic member 14 still has a certain elastic force on the engaging member 13, so that the engaging member 13 can be tightly clamped on the storage module 2 in real time. Of course, preferably, when the engaging member 13 is driven by the elastic member 14 so that the engaging protrusion 131 on it engages with the storage module 2, and the engaging member 13 moves and abuts against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 15 away from the elastic member, at this time the elastic member 14 still has a certain elastic force, so as to ensure that the engaging member 13 tightly presses and fixes the storage module 2 in real time.

[0057] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the locking structure of the present application further includes a positioning member 16. The positioning member 16 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 12, and the elastic member 14 is sleeved on the positioning member 16.

[0058] For example, the positioning member 16 is generally in a cylindrical structure. The positioning member 16 is arranged away from the limiting groove 15, and one end of the positioning member 16 is fixed on the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 12 and the other end is a free end. A certain distance is left between the free end of the positioning member 16 and the limiting groove 15 for the engaging member 13 to squeeze the elastic member 14. Therefore, when the elastic member 14 is sleeved on the positioning member 16, the first end of the elastic member 14 can be connected to the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity, and the second end of the elastic member 14 protrudes from the positioning member 16 and is connected to the first end of the engaging member 13.

[0059] In one embodiment, as Figures 4 - 6As shown, the base 11 includes a base body 112 and a base cover 113, and the two are detachably connected to form an accommodation cavity 12 inside. Among them, the base body 112 is connected to the positioning member 16 and the limiting groove 15. The base body 112 and the base cover 113 are shell structures. An opening 111 is provided on the upper surface of the base cover 113. Therefore, when the base body 112 and the base cover 113 are connected, an accommodation cavity 12 communicating with the opening 111 is formed inside. Among them, the detachable connection between the base body 112 and the base cover 113 can be achieved in the following way. A clamping groove 1121 is provided on the base body 112, and a clamping protrusion 1131 adapted to the clamping groove is provided at the corresponding position of the base cover 113. Therefore, the base body is detachably connected to the base cover through the clamping groove and the clamping protrusion.

[0060] For example, the base body 112, the positioning member 16, and the limiting groove 15 are integrally formed structures. The three can be made into an integrally formed part through mold making.

[0061] In one embodiment, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, the latch structure of the present application further includes a hook member 17. The hook member 17 is connected to the base 11 and is used for detachably connecting with the main board 4; the hook member 17 is configured to be deformed under an external force and return to its original state when the external force is removed. For example, the base body 112, the positioning member 16, the limiting groove 15, and the hook member 17 are integrally formed structures.

[0062] For example, the hook member 17 can be made of a material with a certain hardness and elasticity, such as a plastic material, for example, a polycarbonate polymer material. As Figure 6 、 Figure 13 shown, the hook member is arrow-shaped, and the maximum width of the hook member is slightly larger than the diameter of the main board hole 41 of the main board 4. Therefore, when the arrow part of the hook member 17 passes through the main board hole 41, it is squeezed and deformed by the main board hole 41 until the arrow part of the hook member passes through the main board hole and then returns to its original state, thereby fixing the main board 4 between the hook member 17 and the lower surface of the base 11. As Figure 10 、 Figure 13 shown, the lower surfaces of the hook member 17 and the base 11 are in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the main board 4 and form a vertical pressing force on the main board, thereby being able to prevent the main board from shaking.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figures 8 - 13As shown in the figure, the present disclosure also provides an electronic device, which includes a main board 4, a storage module 2, and a memory slot 3, and further includes the buckle structure 1 in any one of the above embodiments. For example, a main board hole 41 is formed on the main board 4. When the buckle structure 1 is detachably connected to the main board hole 41 of the main board through a hook member 17 and the two are connected, the convex portion 131 of the buckle structure 1 forms a vertical pressing force on the storage module 2. For example, when the storage module 2 is inserted into the memory slot 3, the notch 21 on the storage module 2 is arranged corresponding to the stop portion 132 of the engaging member.

[0064] For example, there are two such buckle structures 1, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the storage module 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, a laptop computer and a desktop computer. Taking a laptop computer as an example, an exemplary description of the installation of the storage module is as follows: The memory slot 3 is installed on the main board 4. A main board hole 41 is formed on the main board 4. The hook member 17 of the buckle structure 1 passes through the main board hole 41 and is fixed on the main board 4. The engaging member 13 is toggled to be slightly away from the storage module 2, and then the storage module 2 is inserted between the convex portion 131 and the upper surface of the base 11. At this time, the edges of both sides of the storage module 2 abut against the stop portion 132 of the engaging member, and the elastic member 14 is compressed to accumulate pressure. Then the storage module 2 is pushed towards the memory slot 3 until it is completely inserted into the memory slot 3. At the same time, the notch 21 on the storage module 2 just moves to the position of the stop portion 132. The elastic member 14 instantaneously releases the elastic force and drives the engaging member 13 to move towards the storage module 2. The convex portion 131 is engaged with the upper surface of the storage module 2, pressing the storage module 2 vertically. At the same time, the stop portion 131 is snapped into the notch 21, preventing the storage module 2 from moving in the horizontal direction, thereby further fixing the storage module 2.
