Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing technology, specifically to a tooling structure for assembling and adjusting circuit board assemblies. Background Technology
[0002] The circuit board assemblies of high-power switching power supplies undergo assembly and testing before installation. With the development of power electronics technology, the requirements for power supply systems are becoming increasingly stringent; smaller size and higher power density are key directions for the development of switching power supply technology. Switching power supplies mainly consist of functional circuits such as EMI circuits, surge suppression, power factor correction, high-voltage filtering, DC / DC conversion, microcontroller control, and auxiliary components. In current technology, to improve the utilization of internal space, these functional circuits are typically integrated onto a single circuit board. However, the electronic components used in each functional circuit vary in weight, and the components soldered or mounted on the circuit board can be heavy or light. Since the main substrate of the circuit board is mostly FR4, uneven stress during production and assembly can easily cause components on the circuit board to detach or have poor soldering, and even damage the copper foil on the circuit board. This greatly complicates debugging and troubleshooting, increases production costs, and reduces product reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems in existing high-power switching power supply products where various functional circuits are integrated onto a single circuit board without any protection during production assembly, leading to issues such as solder joint detachment or poor soldering of electronic components, damage or breakage of copper foil on the circuit board, and difficulties in maintenance, debugging, and troubleshooting, this utility model provides a tooling structure for assembling and adjusting circuit board assemblies, which features a simple structure and low cost.

One end of the support column is fixed to the tooling plate by countersunk screws engaging with the internal threaded holes; the other end of the support column is installed by fasteners engaging with the internal threaded holes to fix the circuit board assembly.
[0009] Preferably, the fasteners mentioned above are screw assemblies.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the support column is provided with an internal threaded hole, and the other end is provided with an external thread; one end of the support column is fixed to the tooling plate by countersunk screws engaging with the internal threaded hole, and the other end of the support column is installed by fasteners engaging with the external thread to fix the circuit board assembly.
