[0032] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as follows:

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-6 When the shell 2 is placed on the PCB board 1, the limiting block 3 is placed in the limiting frame 4, and then the compression spring 10 drives the pressing block 5 to press against the top of the limiting block 3, thereby limiting the limiting block 3 on the PCB board 1, so as to connect the shell 2 and the PCB board 1.

[0034] The pressing block 5 is L-shaped, and the sliding cavity 9 is arranged at the vertical position of the pressing block 5. The inner side of the L-shaped pressing block 5 can match the outer side of the limiting block 3, so as to ensure that the pressing block 5 vertically exerts force on the limiting block 3 when the pressing block 5 is pressed by the compression spring 12.

[0035] In addition, the vertical position of the pressing block 5 is cylindrical, and the vertical position of the pressing block 5 is rotationally connected with the inner part of the placing groove 6. By setting the connection mode between the pressing block 5 and the limiting frame 4 as rotational connection, the pressing block 5 can be rotated to a position that does not affect the embedding of the limiting block 3 into the limiting frame 4 when assembling the shell 2 and the PCB board 1, thereby facilitating the assembly of the shell 2 and the PCB board 1.

[0036] It is worth noting that the height of the limiting frame 4 is greater than the height of the limiting block 3, and the limiting frame 4 is fixedly provided with a stop block 13 at the top. Before assembling the shell 2 and the PCB board 1, the pressing block 5 is rotated to the top of the limiting frame 4, and the stop block 13 is used to prevent the pressing block 5 from being accidentally rotated into the limiting frame 4, thereby avoiding affecting the normal entry of the limiting block 3 of the shell 2 into the limiting frame 4.

[0037] At the same time, the inner side width of the limiting frame 4 is equal to the length of the limiting block 3, and the limiting block 3 embedded in the limiting frame 4 is extruded and limited by the limiting frame 4, and will not accidentally move in the limiting frame 4.

[0038] In order to improve the limiting and fixing effect of the pressing block 5 on the limiting block 3, the horizontal part of the pressing block 5 is provided with a through hole 14, the limiting block 3 is provided with symmetrically distributed auxiliary holes 15, the auxiliary holes 15 are matched with the through hole 14, the limiting frame 4 is internally provided with symmetrically distributed positioning grooves 16, the positioning grooves 16 are arranged on the PCB board 1, the positioning grooves 16 are internally provided with positioning rods 17, the positioning rods 17 penetrate through the through hole 14 and the auxiliary holes 15, the positioning rods 17 are inserted into the positioning grooves 16, at this time, the positioning rods 17 are inserted into the through hole 14 and the auxiliary holes 15, the position of the pressing block 5 can be fixed and limited, further, the bottom end of the positioning rod 17 is externally provided with external threads 18, the inside of the positioning groove 16 is internally provided with internal threads matched with the external threads 18, the external threads 18 are used to fix the positioning rod 17 in the positioning groove 16, thereby fixing the limiting block 3 between the PCB board 1 and the pressing block 5, fixing and connecting the shell 2 and the PCB board 1, the top end of the positioning rod 17 is fixedly provided with a screw block 19, the screw block 19 is used to block the through hole 14, and the limiting block 3 is pressed on the PCB board 1.

[0039] The connecting mode of the shell 2 and the PCB board 1 will be described below.

[0040] Firstly, the pressing block 5 is pulled upwards, then the pressing block 5 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the limiting frame 4, and the limiting block 3 is placed down, under the action of the compression spring 12, the pressing block 5 is pressed on the limiting frame 4, at this time, the pressing block 5 is limited by the blocking block 13 and cannot be rotated into the limiting frame 4;

[0041] Then, the shell 2 together with the limiting block 3 is placed on the PCB board 1, the limiting block 3 is embedded into the limiting frame 4, then the pressing block 5 is lifted up, the pressing block 5 is rotated to the limiting block 3, and the pressing block 5 is loosened, under the action of the compression spring 12, the pressing block 5 is pressed on the limiting block 3;

[0042] At this time, the through hole 14 of the pressing block 5, the auxiliary hole 15 of the limiting block 3 and the positioning groove 16 on the PCB board 1 are on the same straight line, then the positioning rod 17 is inserted into the through hole 14 of the pressing block 5 until the positioning rod 17 is pressed on the internal threads in the positioning groove 16, the positioning rod 17 is rotated, the external threads 18 at the bottom of the positioning rod 17 are screwed into the positioning groove 16 until the screw block 19 is pressed on the pressing block 5, at this time, through the fixing of the positioning rod 17, the limiting block 3 and the PCB board 1 are fixed together, thereby fixing the shell 2 on the PCB board 1.

[0043] When the shell 2 needs to be disassembled to check the PCB board 1, the positioning rod 17 is only needed to be unscrewed, then the pressing block 5 is moved away from the limiting block 3, the shell 2 can be disassembled from the PCB board 1, which is convenient and fast and will not cause damage to the PCB board 1.

[0044] In the technical scheme, the screw block 19 is hexagonal, the handle can quickly screw the positioning rod 17, and the screwing difficulty of the positioning rod 17 can be increased when there is no tool, so that the positioning rod 17 is prevented from being accidentally taken out from the positioning groove 16.
