Detailed Implementation
[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0031] This utility model embodiment provides an adapter board, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0032] The adapter plate body 110 has a first edge and a second edge that are arranged opposite to each other. The first edge and the second edge are both arranged parallel to a first direction, and the first edge and the second edge are staggered.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first edge and the second edge are respectively used to correspond to the plug-in portion on the motherboard and the plug-in portion on the I / O board. By setting the first edge and the second edge in a staggered manner, if one edge is set in the corresponding plug-in portion incorrectly during installation, the other plug-in portion will be difficult to align with the other edge, thereby achieving a physical foolproof design.
[0034] A first connecting portion 120 is disposed at a first edge; the first connecting portion 120 has a first narrow edge region 121, a first notch 122 and a first wide edge region 123 arranged sequentially along a first direction;
[0035] The second connecting portion 130 is disposed on the second edge, and the first connecting portion 120 is electrically connected to the second connecting portion 130; the second connecting portion 130 has a second narrow edge region 131, a second notch 132 and a second wide edge region 133 arranged sequentially along the first direction.
[0036] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 120 and the second connecting portion 130 are respectively disposed on the first edge and the second edge, and the first connecting portion 120 and the second connecting portion 130 are electrically connected. Thus, when the first connecting portion 120 and the second connecting portion 130 are respectively connected to the motherboard and the I / O board, the motherboard and the I / O board can be communicatively connected. This connection method is stable and can achieve high-quality data transmission. The first narrow edge region 121, the first notch 122, and the first wide edge region 123 of the first connecting portion 120 are disposed along a first direction, and the second narrow edge region 131, the second notch 132, and the second wide edge region 133 of the second connecting portion 130 are also disposed along the first direction. Therefore, for the individual first connecting portion 120 and the second connecting portion 130, it is possible to avoid left-right installation errors during individual installation, achieving a foolproof function. The foolproof function of the first notch 122 and the second notch 132, combined with the aforementioned misalignment-based foolproof function, prevents errors during assembly or installation. In the assembly process, if an installation error occurs in the vertical direction of the adapter board 100 after it is connected to either the main board 200 or the I / O board 300, it will cause misalignment of the fixing holes and studs after the other one of the main board 200 and I / O board 300 is plugged in. This enhances the foolproof effect. For example, with Figure 2 and Figure 3 For example, let's illustrate the aforementioned error-proofing effect. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the diagram, the dotted line represents the adapter board 100 provided in this embodiment. During use, the adapter board 100 is used to connect the first plug-in portion 210 on the main board 200 and the second plug-in portion 310 on the IO board 300 for communication, and is secured with the first stud 410 and the second stud 420. Figure 2 The middle section represents the correct installation scenario; because the individual first and second notches can prevent [the problem]... Figure 3 The assembly was incorrect in the left-right direction, but it could not be avoided. Figure 3 Assembly errors in the top and bottom directions. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a scenario where vertical assembly is incorrect during the assembly process. In this case, the second connecting part 120 of the adapter board 100, which mates with the second plug-in part 310, is incorrectly mated with the first plug-in part 210. During the subsequent assembly of the I / O board 300, if there is a misalignment between the first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130, the different circuit designs of the adapter board 100 and the different pin definitions of the main board 200 and the I / O board 300 can lead to functional problems or damage when reversed. When there is a misalignment between the first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130, the aforementioned misalignment makes it difficult for the second connecting part 130 to mate with the second plug-in part 310 of the I / O board 300, thus avoiding vertical assembly errors. The first direction could be, for example, […]. Figure 1 In the left-to-right direction, the first connecting portion may include, for example, a first narrow edge region on the left, a first wide edge region on the right, and a first gap between the first narrow edge region and the first wide edge region. Both the first narrow edge region and the first wide edge region can be configured as gold fingers. Similarly, the second connecting portion may include, for example, a second narrow edge region on the left, a second wide edge region on the right, and a second gap between the second narrow edge region and the second wide edge region. Both the second narrow edge region and the second wide edge region can be configured as gold fingers. It should be understood that the aforementioned left and right directions are based on... Figure 1 An exemplary description was made.
[0037] In the technical solution provided by this embodiment of the utility model, by providing a first connecting part 120 and a second connecting part 130 on two oppositely arranged edges of the adapter board body 110, a communication connection between the motherboard and the I / O board can be achieved through plug-in connection. This communication connection method not only meets the requirements for stable transmission of various signals, but also has the advantages of small size and reliable connection, reducing the requirements for space layout. At the same time, the staggered design of the first and second edges also achieves a physical foolproof function, avoiding the situation of reverse connection during the connection process.
[0038] As an optional implementation, the adapter plate body 110 has a planar plate structure, and the first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130 are both gold fingers.

[0041] The IO board 300 has a second plug-in part 310, which is plugged into the second connecting part 130.
[0042] In some embodiments, the aforementioned adapter board 100 is used to establish a communication connection between the motherboard 200 and the I / O board 300, which can form a more stable connection and achieve high-quality data transmission. At the same time, the adapter board 100 has a smaller size, which makes the entire computer component less demanding on space layout, more stable in connection, and has better data transmission quality.
[0043] As an optional implementation, the first insertion part 210 has a first short slot 211 and a first long slot 213, which are arranged along a first direction; wherein, the first short slot 211 is inserted into the first narrow side region 121, and the first long slot 213 is inserted into the first wide side region 123.
[0044] The second insertion part 310 has a second short slot 311 and a second long slot 313, which are arranged along a first direction; wherein, the second short slot 311 is inserted into the second narrow side region 131, and the second long slot 313 is inserted into the second wide side region 133.
[0045] In some embodiments, a first short slot 211 and a first long slot 213 are formed in the first insertion portion 210, and a first protrusion 212 is formed between the first short slot 211 and the first long slot 213. Similarly, a second protrusion is also present in the second insertion portion 310. The first protrusion 212 and the second protrusion correspond to the first notch 122 and the second notch 132, respectively, which can play a role in preventing mistake-proofing during installation. The first direction can be, for example, Figure 4 In the left-to-right direction, the first connector may include, for example, a first short slot 211 on the left, a first long slot 213 on the right, and a first protrusion 212 between the first short slot 211 and the first long slot 213. Both the first short slot 211 and the first long slot 213 can be configured as gold fingers. Similarly, the second connector may include, for example, a second short slot on the left, a second long slot on the right, and a second protrusion between the second short slot and the second long slot. Both the second short slot and the second long slot can be configured as gold fingers. It should be understood that the aforementioned left-right directions are based on... Figure 4 The following is an exemplary description. In some specific embodiments, Figure 5 An exemplary structure of the first slot 210 is shown in the figure.
[0046] As an optional implementation, the motherboard 200 and the I / O board 300 are connected by a first stud 410 and a second stud 420, wherein the distance between the first plug portion 210 and the first stud 410 is less than the distance between the first plug portion 210 and the second stud 420, and the distance between the second plug portion 310 and the first stud 410 is greater than the distance between the second plug portion 310 and the second stud 420.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first stud 410 and the second stud 420 are disposed perpendicular to the motherboard 200 and the I / O board 300. The design in which the distance between the first plug portion 210 and the first stud 410 is less than the distance between the first plug portion 210 and the second stud 420, and the distance between the second plug portion 310 and the first stud 410 is greater than the distance between the second plug portion 310 and the second stud 420, can match the staggered arrangement of the first edge and the second edge of the adapter board 100.
[0048] As an optional implementation, the axis of the first plug-in portion 210, the axis of the second plug-in portion 310, the axis of the first stud 410, and the axis of the second stud 420 are arranged in the same plane.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the plane defined by the axis of the first plug-in portion 210 and the axis of the second plug-in portion 310 is perpendicular to the motherboard 200 and the I / O board 300.
[0053] In some embodiments, when the plane defined by the axis of the first plug portion 210 and the axis of the second plug portion 310 is perpendicular to the main board 200 and the I / O board 300, the fastening pressure of the first stud 410 and the second stud 420 can be distributed in the plane, which is more conducive to the stability of the assembly structure.
