At present, the LRM module and the LRM rack are installed or disassembled in a time-consuming and laborious manner. For example, the invention application CN116000607A discloses a module integrated locking and pulling aid device, which comprises a forward wedge-shaped locking mechanism, a reverse wedge-shaped locking mechanism, a pulling aid mechanism and a rotating screw rod. The forward wedge-shaped locking mechanism and the reverse wedge-shaped locking mechanism are coaxially installed on the rotating screw rod. The wedge-shaped blocks on the forward wedge-shaped locking mechanism and the reverse wedge-shaped locking mechanism are driven to move towards each other by the rotating screw rod.

[0030] The present application aims to provide a module locker to solve the problems in the prior art and make the module locker easy to install and disassemble, not easy to lose and have better locking effect.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

By passing through briquetting 101 and being connected in the threaded hole that sets up on LRM rack 200 of threaded rod spare, can make the first clamping surface and second clamping surface of briquetting 101 adhere to clamp LRM rack 200 and LRM module 300 corresponding clamping surface, and, threaded rod spare is connected with LRM rack 200 by screw thread, and the locking effect is better, and the vibration is not easy to come out, and when LRM module 300 is detached from LRM rack 200, the connecting piece 102 can be unscrewed, can not completely take out connecting piece 102 from the threaded hole, sliding briquetting 101 along the direction of stop piece 111, do not need to take down module locker 100 from LRM rack 200, can detach LRM module 300 from LRM rack 200, when needing to frequently dismount or under complex environment use, can effectively avoid module locker 100 loss. Preferably, connecting piece 102 is bolt.

[0033] When using, the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface of the briquetting 101 correspond to the clamping surface of the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300, and the limiting piece 111 is tightened. As the threaded rod passes through the briquetting 101 and is screwed into the bolt hole of the LRM rack 200, the limiting piece 111 presses the connecting block of the briquetting 101, so that the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface of the briquetting 101 clamp the corresponding clamping surface of the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300, and the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300 are locked. When the LRM module 300 needs to be detached from the LRM rack 200, the limiting piece 111 is loosened, the threaded rod is not completely taken out from the threaded hole, the briquetting 101 moves towards the limiting piece 111, the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface of the briquetting 101 are separated from the corresponding clamping surface of the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300, so that the LRM module 300 can be detached from the LRM rack 200.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, when the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300 are locked by the module locker 100, the end of the LRM module 300 away from the module locker 100 can be used to screw the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300 together by hand, thereby limiting the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300.

[0035] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the module locker 100 further comprises a handle 106 connected to the end of the limiting member 111 away from the threaded rod member. When the handle 106 is in the first state, the handle 106 extends along the axis direction of the threaded rod member, and rotating the handle 106 can drive the connecting member 102 to rotate around the axis of the threaded rod member. The handle 106 can increase the holding length, thereby making it more convenient to rotate the connecting member 102 and making the module locker 100 more convenient to use.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the module locker 100 further comprises a first elastic member 104, which can be sleeved on the threaded rod member. When the threaded rod member is screwed into the threaded hole, the limiting member 111 can press the first elastic member 104 between the limiting member 111 and the pressing block 101. When the connecting member 102 is screwed into the bolt hole on the LRM rack 200, the limiting member 111 can compress the first spring 104 on the pressing block 101. The first spring 104 is compressed and generates a pre-tightening force, which can increase the pressure on the connecting block, making the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300 more firmly locked. Moreover, the first spring 104 can provide a buffer force between the limiting member 111 and the pressing block 101, which can reduce the rigid contact between the components and prolong the service life. When it is necessary to disassemble the LRM module 300 from the LRM rack 200, the elastic potential energy stored in the first spring 104 during compression is gradually released as the connecting member 102 is unscrewed, pushing the limiting member 111 to separate from the pressing block 101, making it more labor-saving to disassemble.

The first opening of the sleeve 103 is capable of pressing against the pressing block 101, so that the pressing block 101 is locked with the LRM rack 200 and the LRM module 300, the limiting member 111 can enter the sleeve 103 through the second opening of the sleeve 103 and rotate therein, and the first elastic member 104 is limited in the sleeve 103, effectively avoiding the deformation thereof due to the force of the limiting member 111.

When the connecting member 102 needs to be taken out of the threaded hole on the LRM rack 200, the threaded rod is capable of limiting the sleeve 103 and the first elastic member 104, effectively avoiding the sleeve 103 and the first elastic member 104 from sliding off the threaded rod, effectively preventing the loss of the sleeve 103 and the first elastic member 104, and improving the work efficiency.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the first installation slot 113 is formed through the limiting piece 111 in the radial direction of the limiting piece 111 away from the one end of the threaded rod, and the handle 106 is rotatably connected in the first installation slot 113 and can rotate to the first state. The handle 106 is provided in a plate shape, and in use, the handle 106 can be rotated to the first state in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod, at which time the handle 106 is parallel to the axis of the threaded rod, and then the connector 102 is rotated and tightened or loosened in the axial direction of the threaded rod; when the handle 106 is not needed, the handle 106 can be rotated to the second state in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod, at which time the handle 106 is perpendicular to the axis of the limiting piece 111, reducing the length and occupied space of the module locker 100 in the axial direction of the threaded rod, and effectively avoiding the handle 106 being always parallel to the axis of the threaded rod and being easily broken and damaged.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the module locker 100 further comprises a cover plate 107 connected to the one end of the limiting piece 111 away from the threaded rod, and the handle 106 can rotate in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod and avoid the cover plate 107 and the limiting piece 111.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the cover plate 107 is connected to the limiting piece 111 by a screw 108. The connection by the screw 108 can firmly connect the cover plate 107 to the limiting piece 111 and facilitate disassembly.

[0042] It should be noted that the connection mode of the cover plate 107 and the limiting piece 111 of the module locker 100 is not limited to the structure in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the cover plate 107 can also be connected to the limiting piece 111 by clamping or other modes.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the module locker 100 further comprises a second elastic member 105, the limiting member 111 is provided with a second installation slot 112 at one end away from the threaded rod member, the second installation slot 112 is communicated with the first installation slot 113, and the second elastic member 105 is connected between the slot bottom of the second installation slot 112 and the handle 106.
