Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of circuit board mounting technology, and more specifically, relates to an inverted mounting structure and electronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) are mounted face up for ease of installation. However, in certain applications, due to space constraints or design requirements, PCBs must be mounted upside down. During upside-down mounting, the electronic components on the PCBA are located below the circuit board, obstructing the operator's view and preventing direct observation of the relative positions of the components to the device housing. This blind spot complicates the installation process, especially when components are densely packed or compactly arranged. Components on the PCBA are highly susceptible to interference with protrusions, fasteners, or other components on the housing. This interference not only leads to installation difficulties but can also cause physical damage to the components, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an inverted mounting structure and electronic device to solve the technical problem of inconvenient operation when installing PCBA inverted in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0005] A snap-fit ​​mounting structure is provided, comprising:

[0006] The casing has an installation space, and a heat sink is installed on the side wall of the installation space;

[0007] A motherboard, on the first board surface of which a MOSFET assembly is mounted, the MOSFET assembly being placed in the mounting space;

[0008] A pressing component, one end of which is connected to the housing and the other end of which presses against the MOS transistor assembly, thereby pressing the MOS transistor assembly against the heat sink substrate.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0010] Optionally, the pressing member includes a substrate portion, a first elastic pressing foot, and a second elastic pressing foot. The substrate portion is connected to the housing. The first elastic pressing foot and the second elastic pressing foot are both located at the same side edge of the substrate portion and extend to both sides along the thickness direction of the substrate portion. The first elastic pressing foot is used to press against the MOS transistor assembly, and the second elastic pressing foot can slide against the limiting protrusion in the mounting space.

[0011] Optionally, there is at least one first elastic pressure foot, and at least two second elastic pressure feet, with each second elastic pressure foot disposed on both sides of the first elastic pressure foot along the side edge direction of the substrate portion.

[0012] Optionally, the inverted mounting structure also includes fasteners. The base plate is provided with fastening holes and guide holes, and the mounting space is also provided with guide posts. When the base plate is connected to the housing, the guide posts are inserted into the guide holes, and the fasteners pass through the fastening holes and fasten the base plate to the housing.

[0013] Optionally, the motherboard is further provided with a first through hole, and the fastener passes through the first through hole and is fastened to the substrate.

[0014] Optionally, the MOS transistor assembly includes a MOS transistor bracket and at least one MOS transistor. The first side of the MOS transistor bracket has a slot corresponding to the MOS transistor. The MOS transistor is connected to the slot and contacts the heat sink substrate. The first elastic pressure foot presses against the second side of the MOS transistor bracket.

[0015] Optionally, the MOS transistor assembly further includes an adhesive layer disposed in the slot to adhere between the MOS transistor support and the MOS transistor.

[0016] Optionally, the card slot is provided with a positioning protrusion corresponding to the positioning hole on the MOS tube.

[0017] Optionally, the MOSFET bracket further includes a snap-fit ​​post for snapping the MOSFET bracket onto the motherboard.

[0018] This application also provides an electronic device including the above-described inverted mounting structure.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the inverted mounting structure and electronic device provided in this application are as follows:

[0020] The inverted mounting structure provided in this application includes a chassis, a motherboard, and a retaining component. The chassis has an internal mounting space, and a heatsink is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting space. The heatsink provides heat conduction and dissipation for the MOSFET assemblies on the motherboard. MOSFET assemblies are mounted on the first surface of the motherboard. By placing the MOSFET assemblies within the mounting space of the chassis, the PCBA is inverted. One end of the retaining component is fixedly connected to the chassis, and the other end presses against the surface of the MOSFET assembly, thereby pressing the MOSFET assembly against the heatsink and ensuring good contact between the two to optimize heat conduction.

[0021] During installation, the retaining element is first installed onto the chassis, followed by the motherboard being installed upside down into the chassis's mounting space. The retaining element directly presses the MOSFET components against the heatsink, eliminating the need for additional installation steps or complex adjustments. This simplifies the installation process, significantly improves efficiency, and avoids interference issues caused by blind spots in traditional upside-down installations. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the heatsink combined with the pressing action of the retaining element effectively enhances the heat dissipation of the MOSFET components, ensuring stable operation of the electronic equipment in high-temperature environments.

[0046] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, this application provides an inverted mounting structure, including a housing 1, a motherboard 3, and a retaining member 5. The housing 1 has an internal mounting space, and a heat sink 2 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting space. The heat sink 2 provides heat conduction and dissipation for the MOSFET assembly 4 on the motherboard 3. The heat sink 2 can be a ceramic substrate, a metal substrate, or a heat sink substrate made of other materials. The MOSFET assembly 4 is disposed on the first surface of the motherboard 3 (i.e., the front side, the side where multiple electronic devices are mounted). By placing the MOSFET assembly 4 within the mounting space of the housing 1, the PCBA is inverted. One end of the retaining member 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the other end presses against the surface of the MOSFET assembly 4, thereby pressing the MOSFET assembly 4 against the heat sink 2, ensuring good contact between the two to optimize heat conduction.

[0048] During installation, the retaining element 5 is first installed onto the housing 1, and then the motherboard 3 is installed upside down into the mounting space of the housing 1. Through the action of the retaining element 5, the MOSFET assembly 4 is directly pressed against the heat sink 2, eliminating the need for additional installation steps or complex adjustments. This simplifies the installation process, significantly improves installation efficiency, and avoids device interference problems caused by blind spots in traditional upside-down installations. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the heat sink 2 combined with the pressing action of the retaining element 5 effectively enhances the heat dissipation of the MOSFET assembly 4, thereby ensuring stable operation of the electronic equipment in high-temperature environments.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the pressing member 5 includes a substrate portion 51, a first elastic pressing foot 52, and a second elastic pressing foot 53. The substrate portion 51 is fixed to the housing 1 by fasteners or other connection methods. The first elastic pressing foot 52 and the second elastic pressing foot 53 are both disposed at the same side edge of the substrate portion 51 and extend along both sides of the thickness direction of the substrate portion 51, forming a structure with a V-shaped opening. The first elastic pressing foot 52 is used to directly press against the surface of the MOSFET assembly 4 to ensure close contact between the MOSFET assembly 4 and the heat sink 2, thereby achieving efficient heat conduction. The second elastic pressing foot 53 can slide against the limiting protrusion 11 in the mounting space. The limiting protrusion 11 serves as a fixing structure in the mounting space, providing support and guidance for the second elastic pressing foot 53.

[0050] During installation, as the substrate 51 is gradually fixed to the housing 1 using fasteners or other means, the second elastic pressure foot 53 moves along the surface of the limiting protrusion 11 toward the base of the limiting protrusion 11. Because the V-shaped opening structure formed between the first elastic pressure foot 52 and the second elastic pressure foot 53 has elastic deformation capability, the movement of the second elastic pressure foot 53 causes the V-shaped opening to gradually widen, thereby causing the first elastic pressure foot 52 to apply a gradually increasing clamping force to the MOS transistor assembly 4. Thus, through the adaptive deformation capability of the elastic pressure foot, the MOS transistor assembly 4 is gradually clamped without interfering with the initial installation and docking of the MOS transistor assembly 4.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the number of first elastic pressure feet 52 is at least one, and the specific number corresponds to the number of MOS transistors 42 included in the MOS transistor assembly 4. This ensures that each MOS transistor 42 can obtain a stable clamping force through the corresponding first elastic pressure foot 52, thereby effectively avoiding local stress concentration caused by uneven clamping force distribution and further improving the contact reliability between the MOS transistor assembly 4 and the heat sink 2, thus optimizing heat dissipation performance. The number of second elastic pressure feet 53 is at least two, and each second elastic pressure foot 53 is respectively disposed on both sides of the first elastic pressure foot 52 along the side edge direction of the substrate portion 51 to form a symmetrical force distribution structure. This layout ensures that during installation, the clamping force applied by the first elastic pressure foot 52 is evenly transmitted to the limiting protrusion 11 through the second elastic pressure foot 53, thereby avoiding deformation or displacement of the substrate portion 51 caused by unilateral force.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the inverted mounting structure further includes a fastener 6 for securing the substrate portion 51 to the housing 1. The substrate portion 51 is provided with a fastening hole 511 and a guide hole 512. The fastening hole 511 allows the fastener 6 to pass through, securing the substrate portion 51 to the housing 1. The guide hole 512 engages with a guide post 12 within the mounting space, providing initial positioning of the substrate portion 51 before the fastener 6 is installed. The engagement of the guide post 12 and the guide hole 512 ensures the substrate portion 51 maintains the correct position and orientation during installation, thus avoiding installation difficulties or device interference caused by positional deviations. During installation, the guide hole 512 is first aligned with the guide post 12, and the substrate portion 51 is inserted into the guide post 12, completing the initial positioning. Subsequently, the fastener 6 passes through the fastening hole 511 and is fixed to the housing 1, thereby securing the substrate portion 51. Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, to avoid obstruction of vision or inconvenience of operation due to the motherboard 3 blocking the fastener 6 during installation, a first through hole 31 is also provided on the motherboard 3. The position of the first through hole 31 corresponds to the fastening hole 511 on the substrate 51, so that the fastener 6 can pass through the first through hole 31 and be directly fastened to the substrate 51. During the installation process, the guide hole 512 of the substrate 51 is first aligned and inserted into the guide post 12 in the installation space, thereby completing the initial positioning of the substrate 51 and ensuring the accuracy of its position and orientation. Subsequently, the motherboard 3 is installed onto the housing 1 in an upside-down manner. At this time, the fastener 6 extends into the fastening hole 511 of the substrate 51 through the first through hole 31 on the motherboard 3, and finally fastens the substrate 51 to the housing 1.

[0053] Furthermore, during subsequent disassembly, a disassembly tool can be inserted through the first through hole 31 on the motherboard 3 and the fastener 6 can be loosened, thereby reducing the clamping force applied to the MOSFET assembly 4 by the first elastic pressure foot 52 of the pressure member 5, allowing the MOSFET assembly 4 to be separated smoothly and meeting the requirements for non-destructive disassembly and assembly.

[0054] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the MOSFET assembly 4 includes a MOSFET bracket 41 and at least one MOSFET 42. The first side of the MOSFET bracket 41 is provided with slots 411 corresponding to the number and size of the MOSFETs 42. Each MOSFET 42 is fixedly connected to the MOSFET bracket 41 through the slots 411, thereby achieving stable installation of the MOSFET 42. After installation, the MOSFET 42 is in direct contact with the heat sink 2 to ensure efficient heat conduction to the heat sink 2, thus achieving effective heat dissipation. A first elastic pressure foot 52 presses against the second side of the MOSFET bracket 41, applying a uniform clamping force to ensure tight contact between the MOSFETs 42 on the MOSFET bracket 41 and the heat sink 2, avoiding a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency due to poor contact.

[0055] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in one specific embodiment of this application, the MOSFET assembly 4 further includes an adhesive layer 43, which is disposed within the slot 411 of the MOSFET support 41 to form a strong bond between the MOSFET support 41 and the MOSFET 42. During installation, the adhesive layer 43 not only fills the small gap between the MOSFET 42 and the slot 411, but also further enhances the fixation of the MOSFET 42 through its adhesive effect, preventing loosening or displacement due to long-term use or external stress. Furthermore, the adhesive layer 43 can absorb mechanical stress generated during installation to a certain extent, reducing the risk of damage to the MOSFET 42 due to uneven stress, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the structure.

[0056] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, a positioning protrusion 412 is provided in the slot 411, and the position of the positioning protrusion 412 corresponds to the positioning hole on the MOS transistor 42. By providing the positioning protrusion 412 in the slot 411, the MOS transistor 42 can be quickly positioned during the installation process. The positioning protrusion 412 can not only effectively prevent the MOS transistor 42 from shifting or rotating during the installation process, but also ensure the relative positional accuracy between the MOS transistor 42 and the slot 411, thereby improving installation efficiency and reliability.

[0057] In one specific embodiment of this application, the MOSFET support 41 further includes a snap-fit ​​post 413 for securely snapping the MOSFET support 41 onto the motherboard 3. The motherboard 3 has a second through-hole corresponding to the snap-fit ​​post 413, and the snap-fit ​​post 413 connects the MOSFET support 41 to the motherboard 3 by inserting into the second through-hole. The front end of the snap-fit ​​post 413 is designed with a tapered head structure. This tapered head can guide the insertion into the second through-hole, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving installation accuracy. The middle part of the snap-fit ​​post 413 has a neck, which forms a snap-fit ​​engagement with the second through-hole of the motherboard 3, ensuring that the MOSFET support 41 is firmly fixed to the motherboard 3 after installation, preventing loosening or displacement due to vibration or impact. This snap-fit ​​post 413 design not only enables quick installation and removal of the MOSFET support 41, but also provides a reliable mechanical connection through the engagement of the neck with the second through-hole, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0058] This application also provides an electronic device including the inverted mounting structure in the above embodiments. Since the electronic device has the inverted mounting structure in the above embodiments, it also has the advantages of the inverted mounting structure in the above embodiments.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
