They are widely used in various electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, and home appliances.

[0003] A stacked PCB is a special PCB design that allows multiple PCB bodies to be stacked together through a specific connection mechanism.

[0004] Traditional stacked PCBs typically use an external frame for support and multiple PCBs are secured with screws. While this structure can fix the relative positions of the PCBs, it requires tightening screws one by one during assembly and disassembly, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and has high maintenance costs. In addition, the use of an external frame increases the size of the stacked PCB, limiting its use in environments with limited installation space.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a composite PCB board to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

Specifically, the main bodies of the PCB boards are connected by a connecting component, which includes positioning posts and engaging components. The positioning posts are symmetrically installed on both sides of the PCB board body, achieving precise fixation through the cooperation of positioning pins and positioning slots. The engaging components utilize magnetic blocks or electromagnets for reliable connection.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A composite PCB board includes multiple PCB board bodies 1, characterized in that: a connecting component is provided between the multiple PCB board bodies 1, the connecting component includes a first positioning post 3 and a second positioning post 4, the first positioning post 3 and the second positioning post 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the PCB board body 1, a positioning pin 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the first positioning post 3 away from the PCB board body 1, a positioning groove 6 matching the positioning pin 5 is opened on the end of the second positioning post 4 away from the PCB board, and a suction member 7 is provided between the second positioning post 4 and the first positioning post 3.

[0028] This composite PCB board consists of multiple PCB board bodies 1, which are connected by a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes two positioning posts symmetrically mounted on both sides of the PCB board body 1. These posts are interconnected via positioning pins 5 and positioning slots 6. The engagement of the positioning pins 5 and positioning slots 6 ensures quick and precise alignment between the composite PCB boards, preventing misalignment. A suction device 7 then holds the two positioning posts together for quick fixation. For disassembly and replacement, the two positioning posts can be easily pulled apart. This design does not increase the volume of the composite PCB board through external frames or other structures, resulting in a smaller composite PCB board suitable for more installation spaces.

[0029] Because the above solution enables rapid assembly and disassembly of stacked PCBs, and each PCB body 1 is equipped with connecting components for assembly, any two stacked PCBs can be combined, thus achieving arbitrary combinations of stacked PCBs.

[0030] The suction component 7 includes a first magnetic block 8 and a second magnetic block 9. The first magnetic block 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the first positioning post 3 near the positioning pin 5, and the second magnetic block 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the second positioning post 4 near the positioning groove 6.

[0031] The magnetic locating component 7 consists of two magnetic blocks, one connected to one end of the first positioning post 3 and the other connected to one end of the second positioning post 4. When the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the positioning slot 6, the two magnetic blocks attract each other, thus fixing the PCB board.

[0032] The first magnetic block 8 and the second magnetic block 9 are two electromagnets or one of them is an iron ring. The specific form of the magnetic blocks is further explained here. The attracting component 7 can be two electromagnets or one of them is an iron ring, which increases the specific combination form of the magnetic blocks.

[0033] Another type of attraction component 7 is in which the first magnetic block 8 and the second magnetic block 9 are two electromagnets connected to a power cord. Both the first positioning post 3 and the second positioning post 4 are made of insulating material.

[0034] In a specific application of electromagnetic attraction, if the magnetic blocks are electromagnets, they will be connected via a power cord, and the positioning posts will use insulating materials to ensure safety.

[0035] Furthermore, multiple sets of PCB board bodies 1 are arranged in parallel, and the connecting components position and connect the two sets of PCB board bodies 1. Multiple PCB board bodies 1 can be arranged in parallel, and the connecting components are responsible for their positioning and fixation.

[0036] Furthermore, the first positioning post 3 is a retractable threaded assembly, which includes an inner threaded rod 13 and an outer threaded sleeve 14. The inner threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected to the PCB body, and the outer threaded sleeve 14 is threadedly engaged with the inner threaded rod 13. The inner threaded rod 13 and the outer threaded sleeve 14 can rotate and extend together.

[0037] The first positioning post 3 is designed as a retractable threaded assembly, which can be extended or retracted by rotating the thread, thereby adapting to PCB boards of different thicknesses.

[0038] The PCB board body 1 is provided with a locking assembly, which includes a guide slide 15, and the guide slide 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the PCB board body 1.

[0039] The engaging assembly on the PCB board body 1 includes a guide groove 15, a slide rod 16, and a return spring 17. The slide rod 16 slides within the guide groove 15, and the return spring 17 ensures that the slide rod 16 returns to its initial position when no external force is applied. The return spring 17 is located outside the slide rod 16, thereby bringing the two slide rods 16 closer to each other, and the two slide rods 16 drive the two claws 18 to move closer together.

[0040] The guide slide 15 has two slide rods 16 slidably connected inside. The two ends of the guide slide 15 are respectively fixedly connected to a return spring 17, and the other end of the return spring 17 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 16.

[0041] Furthermore, a pawl 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide rod 16 away from the guide groove 15. The pawl 18 is L-shaped.

[0042] The design of the jaw 18 is L-shaped, with a trapezoidal opening on the inside of the jaw slot 20 for clamping the PCB board.

[0043] Furthermore, a slot 20 is provided on the inner side of the claw 18, and the slot 20 is a trapezoidal opening; a chamfer 21 is provided on the inner side of the end of the claw 18 away from the slide bar 16;

[0044] Details of the jaws 18 include a chamfer 21 at one end, increasing the ease of installation and disassembly; and a trapezoidal opening 20, forming a gradient opening design that allows for clamping PCBs of different thicknesses. The two jaws 18 are moved between each other via a slide bar 16, enabling adjustment of the distance between them. This allows for clamping and fixing PCBs of different widths, increasing the possibilities for stacked PCB combinations.

[0045] The working principle of this composite PCB board is to achieve rapid connection and fixation between PCB boards through specially designed connecting components, including positioning posts and engaging components 7, such as magnetic blocks. The positioning posts ensure the positional accuracy of the PCB boards through positioning pins 5 and positioning slots 6, while the magnetic blocks provide a reliable connection through magnetic force. Furthermore, the retractable positioning posts allow for adjustment of the PCB board thickness, while the engaging components provide additional fixation and positioning means. This design aims to simplify the PCB board assembly and disassembly process, reduce maintenance work, and maintain the compactness of the overall structure. By using an electromagnet as the engaging component 7, the connection strength can also be controlled by power, further improving the system's flexibility and adjustability. The composite PCB board designed with the above scheme has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is easy to assemble and disassemble quickly, facilitating arbitrary combinations of composite PCB boards.

[0046] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these specific embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
