[0021] The connector provided by the embodiment of the present patent includes: a main body part, a first extension part, a first elastic cantilever assembly, and a second elastic cantilever assembly. The main body part is formed with a positioning part for connecting with the main board; the first extension part is connected to the main body part, and the first extension part is formed with a first support part; the first elastic cantilever assembly is connected to the main body part, and the first elastic cantilever assembly has elasticity and is used to clamp or separate the network card. A buckle is provided at one end of the first elastic cantilever assembly away from the main body part, and the buckle is formed with a second pressing part.

The second elastic cantilever abuts against the network card and is used to facilitate ejecting the network card when the network card is taken out. During assembly, the positioning part is assembled with the device main board. The network card includes a front side and a back side. After the network card is normally inserted on one side, when the other side is pressed, the network card pushes the buckle, so that the buckle receives a Z-direction force, and the second elastic cantilever assembly and the first elastic cantilever assembly tilt in a direction away from the network card. After the front side of the network card is pressed against the first support part, the second elastic cantilever rebounds in a direction close to the network card under the action of the elastic restoring force, so that the second pressing part abuts against the back side of the network card, thereby completing the installation of the network card, reducing the screwing process, simplifying the assembly steps, and reducing the assembly man-hours. During disassembly, a suction cup can be used to adsorb the first elastic cantilever assembly to move the buckle in a direction away from the network card. Under the action of the elastic restoring force, the second elastic cantilever assembly can eject the network card, facilitating the disassembly of the network card.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this patent, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0029] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connector provided in the embodiment of this patent includes: a main body 1, a first extension part, a first elastic cantilever assembly 3, and a second elastic cantilever assembly 5.

A buckle 4 is provided at one end of the first elastic cantilever assembly 3 away from the main body 1. The buckle 4 is formed with a second pressing part 421. The second pressing part 421 and the first support part 221 are arranged up and down, and apply pressure to the network card 6 in the Z direction to clamp the network card 6; so that the first support part 221 and the second pressing part 421 can press the opposite two sides of the network card 6. The second elastic cantilever assembly 5 is connected to the first elastic cantilever assembly 3. The second elastic cantilever assembly 5 has elasticity, and the second elastic cantilever abuts against the network card 6 and is used to facilitate ejecting the network card 6 when the network card 6 is taken out. During use, connect the positioning part to the device main board 7, which can be through plugging or snapping. Optionally, the main board 7 is provided with a card slot, and the positioning part is snapped into the card slot and fixed to the main board 7.

The network card 6 pushes the buckle 4, so that the buckle 4 receives a Z-direction force, and the second elastic cantilever assembly 5 and the first elastic cantilever assembly 3 tilt away from the network card 6. After the front side of the network card 6 is pressed against the first support portion 221, the second elastic cantilever rebounds towards the network card 6 under the action of the elastic restoring force, so that the second pressing portion 421 abuts against the back side of the network card 6, thereby completing the installation of the network card 6, reducing the screw process, simplifying the assembly steps, and reducing the assembly man-hours. During disassembly, a suction cup can be used to adsorb the first elastic cantilever assembly 3 to move the buckle 4 away from the network card 6.
