[0031] Combined with Figures 2 to 9 For further illustration, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the intermediate module. Its structural features include a module box housing 16. Inside the module box housing 16, there is a cavity 6 for installing a printed circuit board PCB. There are 4 groups of mounting studs 7 for the printed circuit board at the 4 corners of the cavity 6. There are 4 groups of through holes 8 for the long screw 4 at the 4 corners of the module box housing 16.

Around the module box housing 16, there are closed raised strips 11 for electromagnetic shielding and positioning functions, and there is an installation groove 12 for installing a conductive rubber strip for electromagnetic shielding. The specific dimensions of a typical intermediate module box can be seen in Figure 3As shown, the width dimension meets the 5 / 8 ATR chassis standard, and heat dissipation ribs are provided on both sides and the top, which can improve the heat dissipation capacity of the module box.

[0032] The specific dimensions of the typical circuit printed board are as Figure 4 shown, and the printed board outline dimensions of all modules can be laid out according to this unified dimension.
