[0028] In the device, rear card PCB 3 is mainly located in the upper end of board card layout, wherein, the card connector 4 on front card PCB 2 is female connector, the card connector 4 on rear card PCB 3 is male connector, considering the need to avoid backplane structure 1 in overall structure layout, rear card PCB 3 can be special-shaped structure (protrude a proper distance at the position of connector, ensure that front card and rear card can be plugged)
[0029] It is set to the mode that rear card PCB 3 and front card PCB 2 are mutually clamped, which can provide multiple interface resources, including digital input and output interface, analog input and output interface, communication interface, etc., these interfaces can be connected with external equipment, realize the expansion of system and the enhancement of function, and support multi-slot system, the function and performance of system can be expanded by inserting multiple rear cards.
[0030] The modular design of the structure board card as a whole can enable different functional modules to be independently developed and produced, and then connected and integrated through standard interfaces, which makes the development and maintenance of system more convenient and fast, and also improves the reliability and scalability of system.
[0031] Among them, backplane connector 5 is used for plugging communication with backplane structure 1, can realize the transmission of high-speed data of signal and stable communication function, realizes bus communication between board cards through backplane structure 1, so that different functional board cards can work cooperatively and share system resources, so as to realize the overall function of system.
[0032] In addition, multiple external devices can be connected, and data can be quickly transmitted between devices through a local bus, effectively solving the bottleneck problem of data transmission.
[0033] In addition, the backplane connector 5 adopts a standardized design, follows international standards and industry specifications, improves the maintainability and manageability of the system, and reduces the maintenance cost and difficulty. At the same time, it also makes the system upgrade and expansion more convenient and fast, and users can choose different plug-in cards for upgrade and expansion according to their needs, improving the flexibility and scalability of the system.
[0034] The power connector 6 can transmit the power of the external power system to the board card, meet the power demand of each electronic component and circuit on the board card;
[0035] The power connector 6 is used with the power management circuit on the board card to realize the management and control of the power supply. It can monitor the input state of the power supply, such as voltage, current, power, etc., and feed back these information to the power management circuit, and adjust the output of the power supply according to these information to meet the different working state demand of the board card. And through reasonable design and layout, it can reduce the contact resistance and inductance, reduce the generation and propagation of power supply noise, and improve the signal quality of the board card.
[0036] Further, the connection of the power connector 6 and the power socket not only provides power connection, but also plays a mechanical connection role, firmly fixing the board card on the case or backplane structure 1, improving the firmness of the connection of the board card in the use process.

[0042] The clamping strips 13 arranged in a telescopic manner can be pressed when the PCB boards are inserted into the longitudinal grooves 14, and the clamping strips 13 extend out to be connected with the clamping grooves 9. Further, when the electrostatic discharge strips 10 need to be disassembled, the PCB boards are pulled out, so that the clamping strips 13 are compressed and moved upward, and the clamping strips 13 are separated from the clamping grooves 9, so that the electrostatic discharge strips 10 can be disassembled.

[0049] When the auxiliary positioning column 17 is inserted into the auxiliary positioning sleeve 16, the clamping and extrusion of the plurality of elastic pieces 18 and the mutual friction between the auxiliary positioning column 17 and the elastic piece 18 can improve the connection firmness between them, thereby enhancing the connection firmness effect.
