Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of structural design and relates to a flexible adjustable distance column. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, product intelligence and lightweighting have become an irreversible trend. This trend has not only driven innovation in product design concepts but also placed stricter demands on the performance and quality of core components. Among these, printed circuit boards (PCBs), as core components of electronic products, are of undeniable importance. In terms of intelligence, PCBs must carry a greater number of functional modules and complex circuit structures to meet the product's requirements for intelligent functions such as data processing, network communication, and automatic control. This requires PCB designs to be not only highly integrated and stable, but also flexible enough to accommodate a variety of complex circuit layouts and connection methods. Regarding lightweighting, as consumers' demands for product portability and comfort continue to rise, reducing overall product weight has become a key goal in product design. As a crucial component of electronic products, lightweight PCB design plays a crucial role in reducing overall product weight. Therefore, PCBs must be as small and light as possible while ensuring functionality and reliability. In addition to the requirements for intelligence and lightweighting, PCBs must also possess excellent heat dissipation performance and reliability. With the increasing number of product functions and complexity of circuit structures, PCBs generate significant heat during operation. Poor heat dissipation not only affects product performance and stability but can also pose safety risks. Therefore, effective heat dissipation must be considered during PCB layout design to ensure proper product operation. Product reliability is also a key concern for users. As a key component connecting various functional modules, the performance and reliability of the PCB are directly related to the overall product quality and user satisfaction.
[0003] To meet these requirements, PCB component layout design becomes particularly important. During the layout process, engineers need to comprehensively consider both planar layout and spatial layout. Planar layout primarily focuses on the position and connection relationships of components on the PCB plane, while spatial layout considers the arrangement and stacking of components in three-dimensional space. These two aspects are interrelated and mutually influential, jointly determining the overall performance and reliability of the PCB. Distance posts, as an important design element, play a crucial role in both planar and spatial layout. Distance posts help engineers determine the appropriate spacing between components to avoid electrical interference, short circuits, and other problems. They also provide a valuable reference for PCB heat dissipation design and reliability assessment. Therefore, the proper placement and use of distance posts in PCB component layout design is crucial to ensuring product performance and quality. However, most existing distance posts lack flexible distance adjustment, resulting in limited flexibility in PCB component layout. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the technical problem that most of the distance columns in the prior art cannot achieve flexible distance adjustment, resulting in insufficient flexibility in the layout of PCB board components, and to provide a flexible adjustable distance column.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] In the first aspect, the utility model provides a flexible adjustable distance column, including a distance column body, one end of the distance column body is provided with a connecting structure that cooperates with the mounting hole on the PCB board, and the other end is provided with a connecting hole that cooperates with the connecting structure; the outer diameter of the end of the distance column body provided with the connecting hole cooperates with the mounting hole on the PCB board; and a detachable spring is installed on the end of the distance column body provided with the connecting hole.
[0007] Further improvements are:
[0008] The detachable spring is a conical spring or a column spring.
[0009] The connection structure is a buckle, and the connection hole is a buckle connection hole.
[0010] The buckle is a cantilever buckle.

[0015] The surface of the distance column body is provided with an anti-slip or wear-resistant layer.
[0016] The anti-slip or wear-resistant layer is made of rubber or silicone.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The utility model discloses a flexible, adjustable distance post. By providing a connection structure at one end that mates with a mounting hole on a PCB, and a matching connection hole at the other end, the distance post achieves a flexible connection between the distance post and the PCB. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also improves the stability and reliability of the connection.

Furthermore, a detachable spring is installed at the end of the distance post with the connection hole. This innovative design allows the height or elasticity of the distance post to be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adapting to different installation environments and PCB spacing requirements. This flexible and adjustable feature greatly improves the applicability and flexibility of the distance post, enabling it to meet a wider range of application scenarios.

[0019] Furthermore, the detachable spring is a conical spring or a columnar spring. When the component to be connected to the spring end is a flexible antenna, the use of a conical spring can increase the contact area and improve the connection stability.
[0020] Furthermore, the connection structure is a buckle, and the distance column body is made of plastic. The buckle can be installed quickly, and the plastic is light and low in cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
