Among them, the physical structure includes a rack-mounted structure, an embedded structure, and a modular design.
[0003] A computer memory module, also known as a memory module or RAM (Random Access Memory), belongs to the memory module in a computer system. Specifically, a memory module is a specific implementation of random access memory (RAM), usually installed in the memory slot of the motherboard in the form of a module. The memory module is usually inserted into the memory slot on the motherboard. When installing, attention should be paid to the direction of the slot. After the memory module is inserted, the buckle on the side of the memory slot will snap and lock the bayonet on the side of the memory module, thereby fixing the memory module. Refer to a memory slot structure with the patent publication number CN220491256U. It should be noted that different types and speeds of memory modules may not be compatible.

In addition, the capacity and speed of the memory module may also affect the overall performance.
[0004] However, when the existing memory slot fixes the memory module through the buckle, due to the clearance fit between the buckle and the slot, after the memory module is installed, even if the buckle limits the position of the memory module, the memory module will become loose over time, especially for a chassis that is often moved. The vibration generated by the movement of the chassis will accelerate the loosening of the memory module. To solve the above-mentioned problems, a data module installation structure is provided herein. Content of the Utility Model

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , this embodiment provides a data module installation structure, including a card slot 1. Among them, the reference model of the card slot 1 is the memory slot on the ATX-787 industrial motherboard. A slot is opened at the upper end of the card slot 1. Taking the memory slot on the ATX-787 industrial motherboard as an example, a DDR4 DIMM 2666MHz memory module can be fixedly inserted into the card slot 1 through the slot. Rotating buckles are connected to both sides of the upper end of the card slot 1. The function of these buckles is to ensure the fixation of the memory module after insertion. After the memory module is inserted into the slot of the card slot 1, the buckles can be rotated to make the buckles snap into the bayonets at both ends of the memory module. This snapping mechanism provides additional support and protection to prevent the memory module from disengaging from the card slot 1 due to vibration, movement or other external factors during use.
[0023] However, due to the clearance fit between the buckles and the card slot 1, the buckles for snapping the memory module will have slight looseness. As a result, after long-term use, the installation of the memory module in the card slot 1 will become loose. This looseness may cause the installation of the memory module in the card slot 1 to gradually become loose after long-term use, and then cause the contacts in the card slot 1 to be skewed. The skewness of the contacts will affect the signal transmission quality, may lead to system instability, and even problems such as blue screen and system crash, affecting the user experience. To maintain the installation stability of the memory module, a limiting mechanism 2 is installed in the card slot 1.
[0024] Among them, two limiting mechanisms 2 are provided, and the two limiting mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged. The limiting mechanism 2 includes a rotating tube 21, a pressing rod 22 and a spring 23, as Figure 5As shown, there are two rotating tubes 21. One end of each of the two rotating tubes 21 is fixedly connected with a rotating block 211. The front and rear end faces of the card slot 1 are both fixedly connected with rotating rods 11. The rotating block 211 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 11. Two sliding tubes 221 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the pressing rod 22. The two sliding tubes 221 are symmetrically arranged. The sliding tube 221 is slidably inserted into the rotating tube 21. One end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the rotating tube 21, and the other end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the sliding tube 221. Due to the pulling force of the spring 23, the sliding tube 221 is kept inserted into the rotating tube 21. The connection between the memory module and the card slot 1 requires good electrical contact. Applying a downward force on the pressing rod 22 can ensure that the gold fingers (connectors) of the memory module are in full contact with the contact points inside the card slot 1, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of signals and the reliability of the electrical connection. During the operation of the computer, the internal components may be subject to vibration or impact. The downward force applied by the pressing rod 22 can help the memory module stay in its position and prevent displacement or loosening caused by vibration or other external forces.
[0025] After the memory module is inserted into the slot of the card slot 1 and the side bayonet of the memory module is clamped with a buckle, by pulling the pressing rod 22 with a finger, the sliding tube 221 is pulled out from one end of the rotating tube 21. At this time, the internal spring 23 is stretched. Control the movement of the pressing rod 22, and drive the rotating tube 21 to rotate through the sliding tube 221. After the pressing rod 22 is located above the memory module, release the finger. The sliding tube 221 contracts back into the rotating tube 21 under the pulling force of the spring 23. At the same time, the pressing rod 22 presses on the upper end of the memory module. The pressing rod 22 applies a downward (towards the direction of the card slot 1) pressure on the memory module through the sliding tube 221 under the pulling force of the spring 23, thereby maintaining the installation of the memory module and keeping the installation of the memory module stable, preventing the memory module from loosening and shifting.
[0026] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the middle part of the pressing rod 22 is set as a cylindrical structure to reduce the concentration of stress and prevent the middle part of the pressing rod 22 from damaging the memory module after contacting the memory module. However, it is found in the actual operation process that since the pressing rod 22 with a cylindrical middle part is round and smooth, it is difficult for a finger to operate and move the pressing rod 22. Therefore, in order to facilitate the operation of the pressing rod 22, a dial 222 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the pressing rod 22. The dial 222 increases the grasping point, provides a better finger contact surface, and enhances the stability and comfort of the operation. The design of the dial 222 can make the force applied to the finger be more effectively transmitted to the pressing rod 22, reducing the risk of sliding or getting out of control. This design can help the user better control the direction and magnitude of the force during the operation.
[0027] When the two pressure bars 22 apply a downward pressure on the memory module, the distance between the point of application of the force and the fulcrum will affect the application effect. The pressure bars 22 located on both sides of the upper end of the memory module can make more effective use of the lever principle to generate greater pressure and stability. Relatively speaking, the pressure bar 22 at the middle part of the upper end of the memory module may cause uneven pressure distribution due to lack of sufficient support. That is, the pressure bars 22 located on both sides of the memory module can effectively prevent the memory module from warping. Usually, stronger fixing force is required at both ends of the memory module to ensure that the memory module will not be lifted due to external force or vibration. The pressure bar 22 located in the middle cannot provide sufficient support, resulting in instability of the memory module during use. In order to keep the two pressure bars 22 respectively located at the edges of both sides of the upper end of the memory module, limit blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the front and rear end faces of the card slot 1.
[0028] As Figure 2 shown, the limit block 3 is located on the rotation path of the rotating block 211 to limit the rotation of the rotating block 211. After the rotating block 211 rotates to the maximum angle, the pressure bar 22 is located at the edges of both sides of the upper end of the memory module.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
