[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a PCB fixing structure for a smart set-top box, including a housing 1 and a PCB board 2 mounted inside the housing 1. The surface of the PCB board 2 has several mounting holes, and a fixing mechanism 3 is connected through the interior of each mounting hole. The fixing mechanism 3 includes a sleeve 301 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing 1, a movable column 302 slidably connected inside the sleeve 301, and a fixing block 303 slidably connected to the surface of the movable column 302. A connecting column 304 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the sleeve 301. One end of the connecting column 304 is fixedly connected to a disc 305. The top and bottom of the movable column 302 are both provided with a first groove 306 and a second groove 307. An H-plate 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second groove 307. Two L-shaped hook plates 309 are rotatably connected to both sides of the surface of the H-plate 308. A protrusion 310 is fixedly connected to the surface of the two L-shaped hook plates 309. A movable plate 311 is rotatably connected to the surface of the protrusion 310. A first spring 312 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 311. A first buffer is sleeved inside the first spring 312. The punch rod, one end of the first spring 312 is fixedly connected to the surface of the H plate 308, the inner wall of the first groove 306 is fixedly connected to the second spring 313, one end of the second spring 313 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the fixing block 303, the top of the movable plate 311 is fixedly connected to the push rod 314, the push rod 314 passes through the movable column 302 and the fixing block 303, align the mounting hole on the surface of the PCB board 2 with the first rubber pad 4 on the top of the sleeve 301, and then hold the fixing block 303 to insert the movable column 302 into the sleeve 301, so that the two L-shaped hook plates 309 contacts the disc 305. After contacting the disc 305, it continuously presses down on the fixing block 303, causing the L-shaped hook plate 309 to rotate on the surface of the H plate 308. At the same time, after contacting the disc 305, one end of the L-shaped hook plate 309 is opened, and the movable plate 311 descends and is squeezed by the first spring 312. After the L-shaped hook plate 309 locks the disc 305, the fixing block 303 is released, and the second spring 313 is stretched, so that the fixing block 303 is pulled by the second spring 313 and abuts against the PCB board 2 through the second rubber pad 5, thus completing the fixation of the PVB board.

[0020] Furthermore, a first rubber pad 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve 301, and the top of the first rubber pad 4 is in contact with the bottom of the PCB board 2.

[0021] Furthermore, a second rubber pad 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 303. The bottom of the second rubber pad 5 is in contact with the top of the PCB board 2. The second rubber pad 5 can prevent the fixing block 303 from directly contacting the PCB board 2 and causing damage.

[0022] Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of the outer casing 1 is provided with several heat dissipation slots, and the top of the outer casing 1 is fixedly connected to a cover plate 6 by bolts. The heat dissipation slots facilitate heat dissipation during the operation of the PCB board 2.

[0023] Furthermore, a foot pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer casing 1, and an anti-slip pad 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the foot pad. The anti-slip pad 7 can reduce the slippage of the outer casing 1 after it is placed.

[0024] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0025] First step: Align the mounting holes on the surface of PCB board 2 with the first rubber pad 4 on the top of sleeve 301, then hold the fixing block 303 and insert the movable column 302 into the sleeve 301 so that the two L-shaped hook plates 309 contact the disc 305. After contacting the disc 305, continue to press down on the fixing block 303 so that the L-shaped hook plates 309 rotate on the surface of H plate 308. At the same time, after contacting the disc 305, one end of the L-shaped hook plate 309 is opened, and the movable plate 311 descends and is squeezed by the first spring 312. After the L-shaped hook plate 309 is stuck on the disc 305, release the fixing block 303. At the same time, the second spring 313 is stretched, so that the fixing block 303 is pulled by the second spring 313 and abuts against the PCB board 2 through the second rubber pad 5, thus completing the fixing of the PVB board.

[0026] The second step: Finally, place the cover plate 6 on top of the outer casing 1 and tighten the bolts. It should be noted that the device structure and accompanying drawings of this utility model mainly describe the principle of this utility model.

[0027] All standard parts used can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the instructions and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the existing technology. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the structure and principle of the components known to those skilled in the art can be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
