Expansion holes are provided at the four corners of the supporting module 401.

[0028] Please see Figure 2-4The insertion mechanism 5 includes a connector 501, a plug 502, pins 503, a front guide groove 504, and a side guide groove 505. The connector 501 is fixedly connected to the expansion board module 2 and the sensor module 3. The plug 502 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connector 501. The pins 503 are fixedly connected to the inside of the plug 502. The front guide groove 504 is opened on the front side of the plug 502. The side guide grooves 505 are opened on both sides of the plug 502. The pins 503 have two types of pins: three pins and four pins. The pins 503 are inserted into the inside of the pin groove 602.

[0029] By setting a front guide groove 504, the front guide strip 603 is limited, and when the connector 601 is inserted into the socket 502, the front guide strip 603 can also be inserted into the front guide groove 504 in a limited state. By setting a side guide groove 505, the side guide strip 604 is limited, and when the connector 601 is inserted into the socket 502, the side guide strip 604 can also be inserted into the side guide groove 505 in a limited state.

[0030] Please see Figure 2-4 The connecting mechanism 6 includes a connector 601, a pin groove 602, a front guide strip 603, a side guide strip 604, and a wire 605.

[0031] By setting the connector 601 and the pin groove 602, it is possible to connect to the socket 502 and allow the pin 503 to be inserted into the pin groove 602 for power connection. By setting the side guide strip 604 and the front guide strip 603, the insertion direction of the connector 601 and the socket 502 can be restricted.

[0032] Working principle: When a technological teaching tool is used, in the initial state, the development board module 1 and the sensor module 3 are first connected in an overlapping manner. Then, the discharge connector 403 of the power supply module 4 is connected to the second power supply port 203 on the expansion board module 2 using wires to supply power to the expansion board module 2. At the same time, different sensor modules 3 can be installed and connected to the expansion board module 2 according to the requirements using the connection mechanism 6 and the plug-in mechanism 5.

[0033] When it is necessary to prevent the sensor module 3 from burning out due to misconnection when connecting to the expansion board module 2, first select the connection mechanism 6 corresponding to the number of pins 503. Then, place the connector 601 above the socket 502, aligning the side guide strip 604 with the side guide groove 505 and the front guide strip 603 with the front guide groove 504. Then, move the connector 601 vertically downwards, so that the connector 601 is inserted into the socket 502 under the constraints of the side guide strip 604, the front guide strip 603, the front guide groove 504, and the side guide groove 505. At the same time, make the pins 503... 03 can be inserted into the pin slot 602. If the number of pins 503 does not match the number of pins in the pin slot 602 or the number of holes in the pin slot 602 does not match the number of pins 503, the mismatched pins 503 and pin slot 602 will be staggered and the connector 601 will not be able to be continuously inserted into the socket 502. If the front guide strip 603 and the side guide strip 604 are not aligned with the front guide groove 504 and the side guide groove 505 or are in the opposite state, the connector 601 will not be able to be inserted into the socket 502 at all. This device helps to prevent the sensor module 3 from being burned out due to misconnection of the interface when connecting the expansion board module 2.
