Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic devices typically have a chassis with connectors for inserting components. For example, some server chassis have connectors for installing hard drives.
[0003] In existing technologies, some plug-ins are designed with irregular shapes, where the width of the front end is smaller than the width of the back end. Correspondingly, the shape of the plug-in channel also matches the plug-in, meaning the width of the front end of the plug-in channel is smaller than the width of the back end. When inserting a plug-in, the plug-in front end must first pass through the back end of the plug-in channel before entering the portion that matches the front end of the plug-in channel.
[0004] However, in the initial stage of insertion, it is difficult to accurately align the front end of the plug-in channel, which makes it difficult to insert the plug-in smoothly, thus increasing the difficulty of insertion. It may even cause wear on the front end of the plug-in due to forced insertion, thereby affecting the service life of the plug-in. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides an electronic device that helps ensure the smooth insertion of plug-in into the plug-in channel, thereby extending the service life of the plug-in.
[0006] This application provides an electronic device, including: a chassis with a plug-in channel, the plug-in channel including an inlet for inserting a plug-in, the plug-in channel including a first segment and a second segment distributed sequentially from the inlet into the plug-in channel, the inner wall of the second segment having a protrusion protruding inward from the inner wall of the first segment; a foolproof guide rail, the length of the foolproof guide rail being less than the length of the plug-in channel, the foolproof guide rail being movably disposed within the plug-in channel; a plug-in including a main body and a support portion, the main body being adapted to insert into the second segment, the support portion being adapted to insert into the first segment and abut against the protrusion, the plug-in including a first end facing into the plug-in channel and a second end facing away from the plug-in channel, the plug-in having a guide groove extending from the first end towards the second end, the guide groove being spaced apart from the end face of the second end, the guide groove being adapted to guide and cooperate with the foolproof guide rail.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the foolproof guide rail has a first end facing outward from the insertion channel and a second end facing inward from the insertion channel. The foolproof guide rail is adapted to move between an initial position and a target position under the drive of the plug-in, wherein, in the initial position, the first end is at the entrance, and in the target position, the second end is within the second segment.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the protrusion protrudes inward from the inner wall of the first segment along a first direction; in the first direction, the distance between the foolproof guide rail and the inner wall of the first segment is smaller than the size of the main body.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the foolproof guide rail has a through hole extending along the extension direction of the insertion channel; the electronic device further includes: a guide post, which is fixedly disposed in the insertion channel, passes through the through hole, and is guided and engaged with the through hole.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the foolproof guide rail defines a mounting groove, and the through hole penetrates the bottom wall of the mounting groove; the electronic device further includes a trigger component, which is movably disposed within the mounting groove. When the plug-in is not inserted into the insertion channel, the trigger component is used to lock into the guide post. When the plug-in is inserted into the insertion channel and acts on the trigger component, the trigger component disengages from the guide post, thereby allowing the foolproof guide rail to move relative to the chassis.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the mounting groove has pivot holes on opposite sides of the groove wall along a first direction. The trigger assembly includes a trigger rod, which includes a first trigger end and a second trigger end opposite to each other along the length of the insertion channel. The trigger rod has pivot shafts on opposite sides along the first direction, which are located between the first trigger end and the second trigger end. The pivot shafts are rotatably fitted with the pivot holes. The first trigger end has a hook. The trigger rod is configured such that when the plug is not applied to the second trigger end, the hook is engaged with the guide post, and when the plug presses against the second trigger end, the hook separates from the guide post.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the triggering component further includes an elastic element, one end of which is connected to the first triggering end and the other end of which is connected to the foolproof guide rail. The elastic element exerts a force on the trigger rod to cause the hook to engage with the guide post.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the triggering component further includes: a support column fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting groove, the elastic element sleeved on the support column, and the second triggering end having a clearance hole for avoiding the support column.
[0014] In one possible implementation, when the plug is not acting on the second trigger end, the second trigger end protrudes from the opening on the side of the mounting groove opposite to the bottom wall.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the trigger rod includes a first rod segment and a second rod segment arranged at an angle, and the pivot shaft is located at the connection between the first rod segment and the second rod segment.
[0016] This application provides an electronic device in which the width of the main body of the plug-in is smaller than the width of the support portion, and the shape of the insertion channel matches the shape of the plug-in. When the plug-in is inserted into the insertion channel, the main body first passes through the first segment and then enters the second segment. In the prior art, it is difficult to ensure that the main body of the plug-in is precisely aligned with the second segment when the plug-in is inserted. Therefore, during the insertion process, the main body may collide with the protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the first segment, resulting in wear on the main body and affecting the service life of the plug-in.
[0017] Therefore, this application provides a foolproof guide rail within the insertion channel, and the plug-in has a corresponding guide groove on the plug-in. When inserting the plug-in, the guide groove is aligned with the foolproof guide rail for insertion, ensuring that the plug-in is inserted into the insertion channel along the correct path, preventing interference between the main body and the protrusion, reducing the difficulty of plug-in insertion, reducing plug-in wear, and increasing plug-in lifespan. Furthermore, the foolproof guide rail is movable relative to the insertion channel. When the plug-in is not inserted into the insertion channel, the foolproof guide rail is located at the entrance so that the guide groove is aligned with the foolproof guide rail for insertion. During plug-in insertion, the foolproof guide rail moves with the plug-in, preventing interference between the foolproof guide rail and the second end face of the plug-in. Thus, the guide groove on the plug-in can be spaced apart from the second end face, ensuring the integrity of the second end face of the plug-in and avoiding impact on plug-in performance. Therefore, the foolproof guide rail plays a guiding role, ensuring that the plug-in is inserted into the plug-in channel in the correct path. At the same time, the foolproof guide rail can move with the plug-in, so the guide groove does not need to penetrate the plug-in. There is a gap between the guide groove and the second end face, which ensures the integrity of the second end face. Therefore, the electronic device of this application is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of plug-in insertion and improve the service life of plug-in while ensuring the performance of plug-in.

[0033] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0034] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0035] As the background art demonstrates, in the prior art, some plug-ins are designed with irregular shapes, where the width of the front end is smaller than the width of the back end. Correspondingly, the shape of the plug-in channel also matches the plug-in, meaning the width of the front end of the plug-in channel is smaller than the width of the back end. When inserting a plug-in, the plug-in front end needs to pass through the back end of the plug-in channel before entering the portion that matches the front end of the plug-in channel.
[0036] However, in the initial stage of insertion, it is difficult to accurately align the front end of the plug-in channel, which makes it difficult to insert the plug-in smoothly, thus increasing the difficulty of insertion. It may even cause wear on the front end of the plug-in due to forced insertion, thereby affecting the service life of the plug-in.
[0037] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device with a foolproof guide rail within the insertion channel. A guide groove corresponding to the foolproof guide rail is formed on the plug-in. When inserting the plug-in, the guide groove is aligned with the foolproof guide rail for insertion, ensuring the plug-in is inserted into the insertion channel along the correct path. This prevents interference between the main body and the protrusion, reducing the difficulty of plug-in insertion, minimizing wear, and extending the plug-in's lifespan. Furthermore, the foolproof guide rail is movable relative to the insertion channel. When the plug-in is not inserted, the foolproof guide rail is located at the entrance, allowing the guide groove to align with it. During insertion, the foolproof guide rail moves with the plug-in, preventing interference between the foolproof guide rail and the plug-in's second end face. The guide groove on the plug-in can be spaced apart from the second end face, ensuring the integrity of the plug-in's second end face and preventing any impact on plug-in performance. Therefore, the foolproof guide rail plays a guiding role, ensuring that the plug-in is inserted into the plug-in channel in the correct path. At the same time, the foolproof guide rail can move with the plug-in, so the guide groove does not need to penetrate the plug-in. There is a gap between the guide groove and the second end face, which ensures the integrity of the second end face. Therefore, the electronic device of this application is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of plug-in insertion and improve the service life of plug-in while ensuring the performance of plug-in.
[0038] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the electronic device 100 of this application embodiment includes a chassis 110, a foolproof guide rail 120, and a plug-in 130. The chassis 110 is provided with a plug-in channel 111, which includes an inlet for the plug-in 130 to be inserted. The plug-in channel 111 includes a first segment 1111 and a second segment 1112 distributed sequentially from the inlet into the plug-in channel 111. The inner wall of the second segment 1112 has a protrusion 1112a that protrudes inward from the inner wall of the first segment 1111. The length of the foolproof guide rail 120 is less than the length of the plug-in channel 111, and the foolproof guide rail 120 is movable. The plug is located within the insertion channel 111; the plug 130 includes a main body 131 and a support 132. The main body 131 is adapted to insert the second segment 1112, and the support 132 is adapted to insert the first segment 1111 and abut against the protrusion 1112a. The plug 130 includes a first end facing into the insertion channel 111 and a second end facing away from the insertion channel 111. A guide groove 1311 extending from the first end to the second end is provided on the plug 130. The guide groove 1311 is spaced from the end face 1321 of the second end and is adapted to guide and cooperate with the foolproof guide rail 120.
[0040] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 can be a server, computer, etc., and the plug-in 130 can be a hard drive, memory module, USB flash drive, etc. This embodiment does not limit the types of plug-in devices. When the plug-in 130 is inserted into the plug-in channel 111, the main body 131 of the plug-in 130 first passes through the entrance, then through the first segment 1111, and finally enters the second segment 1112, thereby achieving electrical connection with the internal circuitry inside the chassis 110. In the prior art, during the initial stage of plug-in insertion, i.e., when the main body 131 is in the first segment 1111, it is difficult to accurately align with the second segment 1112. Therefore, the insertion path of the plug-in 130 may be offset, causing the main body 131 of the plug-in 130 to collide with the protrusion 1112a, increasing the difficulty of inserting the plug-in 130. At the same time, it may cause wear on the main body 131, affecting the service life of the plug-in 130 and the reliability of the connection between the plug-in 130 and the internal circuitry.
[0041] Therefore, in this embodiment, a foolproof guide rail 120 is provided within the insertion channel 111. The foolproof guide rail 120 can move relative to the insertion channel 111. A guide groove 1311 is provided on the plug-in 130, and the guide groove 1311 slides in cooperation with the foolproof guide rail 120. When the plug-in 130 is not inserted into the insertion channel 111, the foolproof guide rail 120 is located at the entrance of the insertion channel 111. When inserting the plug-in 130, the groove is aligned with the foolproof guide rail 120 for insertion. The foolproof guide rail 120 plays a certain guiding role, thereby ensuring that the plug-in smoothly enters the insertion channel 111 along the correct path and position, avoiding interference between the main body 131 and the protrusion 1112a. This helps to reduce the difficulty of inserting the plug-in 130, while also reducing the wear of the plug-in 130, improving the service life of the plug-in 130, and the reliability of the connection between the plug-in 130 and the internal circuit.
[0042] It should be noted that the integrity of the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130 has a significant impact on the performance of the plug-in 130. If the foolproof guide rail 120 is immovable, in order to ensure that the plug-in 130 can be completely inserted into the insertion channel 111, the guide groove 1311 needs to penetrate the plug-in 130 along the extension direction of the foolproof guide rail 120. This results in a gap in the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130, which damages the integrity of the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130 and affects the performance of the plug-in 130. Therefore, the foolproof guide rail 120 provided in this embodiment is movable relative to the insertion channel 111, and the moving direction of the foolproof guide rail 120 is consistent with the extending direction of the foolproof guide rail 120. After the guide groove 1311 slides a certain distance along the foolproof guide rail 120, the foolproof guide rail 120 moves together with the insert. Therefore, the foolproof guide rail 120 will not interfere with the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130. A certain gap can be maintained between the guide groove 1311 and the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130, thereby ensuring the integrity of the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130 and avoiding affecting the performance of the plug-in 130.
[0043] Therefore, the electronic device 100 provided in this application embodiment has a movable foolproof guide rail 120 in the insertion channel 111 and a guide groove 1311 on the plug-in 130. This is beneficial to reduce the insertion difficulty of the plug-in 130 without affecting the integrity of the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130 and ensuring the performance of the plug-in 130. At the same time, it prevents the plug-in 130 from interfering with the protrusion 1112a during the insertion process, reduces the wear of the plug-in 130, improves the service life of the plug-in 130, and ensures the reliability of the connection between the plug-in 130 and the internal circuit in the chassis 110.
[0044] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the foolproof guide rail 120 of this application embodiment has a first end facing outward of the insertion channel 111 and a second end facing inward of the insertion channel 111. The foolproof guide rail 120 is adapted to move between an initial position and a target position under the drive of the plug-in 130, wherein, in the initial position, the first end is at the entrance, and in the target position, the second end is within the second segment 1112.
[0045] In some embodiments, when the plug-in 130 is not inserted into the insertion channel 111, the foolproof guide rail 120 is in its initial position so that the guide groove 1311 on the plug-in 130 is aligned with the foolproof guide rail 120, ensuring that the plug-in 130 is inserted into the insertion channel 111 from the correct position and in the correct direction. After the plug-in 130 slides a certain distance along the foolproof guide rail 120, the foolproof guide rail 120 moves with the plug-in 130. After the plug-in 130 is fully inserted into the insertion channel 111, the foolproof guide rail 120 slides to the target position. Thus, the length of the guide groove 1311 along its extension direction only needs to be consistent with the length of the foolproof guide rail 120, without penetrating the plug-in 130, thereby ensuring the integrity of the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130 and helping to ensure the performance of the plug-in 130.
[0046] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the protrusion 1112a protrudes inward from the inner wall of the first segment 1111 along a first direction; in the first direction, the distance between the foolproof guide rail 120 and the inner wall of the first segment 1111 is smaller than the size of the main body 131. Wherein, Figure 1 The X-direction is the first direction.
[0047] In practical implementation, the distance between the foolproof guide rail 120 and the inner wall of the first segment 1111 is smaller than the size of the main body 131. This prevents the main body 131 from entering the insertion channel 111 between the foolproof guide rail 120 and the inner wall of the first segment 1111 when the plug-in 130 is inserted, thus causing the insertion path of the plug-in 130 to deviate. This further improves the foolproof effect of the foolproof guide rail 120, ensuring that the user can quickly and accurately insert the plug-in 130 into the insertion channel 111 in the correct position and direction. This helps to further reduce the difficulty of inserting the plug-in 130 into the insertion channel 111 and improve the accuracy of insertion.
[0048] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the foolproof guide rail 120 of this application embodiment has a through hole 121 extending along the extension direction of the insertion channel 111; the electronic device 100 also includes a guide post 140, which is fixedly disposed in the insertion channel 111, passes through the through hole 121, and is guided and cooperates with the through hole 121.
[0049] Understandably, the guide post 140 and the through hole 121 cooperate to ensure that the movement direction of the foolproof guide rail 120 is along the extension direction of the insertion channel 111. In this way, while the foolproof guide rail 120 moves under the drive of the plug-in 130, it can further limit the sliding direction of the plug-in 130, ensuring that the plug-in 130 is always inserted into the insertion channel 111 in the correct direction, avoiding interference between the foolproof guide rail 120 and the plug-in 130, which helps to ensure that the plug-in 130 is smoothly inserted into the insertion channel 111, and improves the convenience and reliability of the plug-in 130 insertion.
[0050] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the foolproof guide rail 120 of this embodiment defines a mounting groove 122, and a through hole 121 penetrates the bottom wall of the mounting groove 122; the electronic device 100 also includes a trigger component 150, which is movably disposed in the mounting groove 122. When the plug-in 130 is not inserted into the insertion channel 111, the trigger component 150 is used to lock into the guide post 140. When the plug-in 130 is inserted into the insertion channel 111 and acts on the trigger component 150, the trigger component 150 disengages from the guide post 140, so that the foolproof guide rail 120 is movable relative to the chassis 110.
[0051] In practical implementation, the trigger component 150 ensures that the foolproof guide rail 120 remains stationary in its initial position when the plug-in 130 is not inserted into the plug-in channel 111. This prevents the foolproof guide rail 120 from deviating from its initial position due to external factors such as chassis 110 shaking, which could affect the accuracy of plug-in 130 insertion. When the plug-in 130 slides a certain distance along the foolproof guide rail 120 into the insertion channel 111, the plug-in 130 contacts the trigger component 150, thereby driving the trigger component 150 to unlock and allowing the foolproof guide rail 120 to continue moving with the plug-in 130. Therefore, this ensures that the position of the foolproof guide rail 120 remains unchanged when the plug-in 130 is not inserted, guaranteeing the foolproof effect and improving its reliability. It also ensures that the foolproof guide rail 120 moves with the plug-in 130 after insertion, ensuring the integrity of the second end face 1321 of the plug-in 130, and thus guaranteeing the performance of the plug-in 130.
[0052] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 7As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the mounting groove 122 has pivot holes on its opposite sides along the first direction. The trigger assembly 150 includes a trigger rod 151, which includes a first trigger end 1511a and a second trigger end 1512a that are opposite each other along the length direction of the insertion channel 111. The trigger rod 151 has pivot shafts 152 on its opposite sides along the first direction. The pivot shafts 152 are located between the first trigger end 1511a and the second trigger end 1512a. The pivot shafts 152 are rotatably fitted with the pivot holes. The first trigger end 1511a has a hook 1511b. The trigger rod 151 is configured such that when the insert 130 does not act on the second trigger end 1512a, the hook 1511b is hooked on the guide post 140, and when the insert 130 presses against the second trigger end 1512a, the hook 1511b is separated from the guide post 140.
[0053] In some embodiments, the trigger rod 151 is rotatably connected to the foolproof guide rail 120 via a pivot shaft 152. When the plug-in 130 is not inserted into the insertion channel 111, the hook 1511b of the first trigger end 1511a of the trigger rod 151 engages with the guide post 140 to lock the foolproof guide rail 120 in the initial position. After the plug-in 130 is inserted into the insertion channel 111 and slides a certain distance along the foolproof guide rail 120, the inner wall of the guide groove 1311 abuts against the second trigger end 1512a of the trigger rod 151, thereby driving the trigger rod 151 to rotate relative to the guide rail. The hook 1511b is lifted and separated from the guide post 140, thereby releasing the lock. The foolproof guide rail 120 moves together with the plug-in 130. This ensures that the foolproof guide rail 120 can only unlock with the insertion channel 111 and move with the insertion plate 130 after the insertion plate 130 is inserted into the preset position, preventing the foolproof guide rail 120 from sliding prematurely. This helps to improve the precision of the fit between the foolproof guide rail 120 and the guide groove 1311, thereby ensuring the convenience and stability of the insertion of the insertion plate 130.
[0054] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the trigger component 150 in this embodiment of the application further includes an elastic element 153. One end of the elastic element 153 is connected to the first trigger end 1511a, and the other end is connected to the foolproof guide rail 120. The elastic element 153 exerts a force on the trigger rod 151 to make the hook 1511b hook onto the guide post 140.
[0055] Understandably, the elastic element 153 ensures that the hook 1511b remains hooked to the guide post 140 before the plug-in 130 is inserted into the insertion channel 111, thereby locking the foolproof guide rail 120 in its initial position. This prevents external factors such as shaking of the chassis 110 from causing the trigger rod 151 to rotate, disengaging the hook 1511b from the guide post 140, and causing the foolproof guide rail 120 to deviate from its initial position, thus affecting the foolproof effect of the foolproof guide rail 120 when the plug-in 130 is inserted. Therefore, the trigger component 150 in this embodiment helps to ensure the stability of the foolproof guide rail 120 in its natural state, improves the foolproof effect, and thus ensures the ease with which the plug-in 130 is inserted into the plug-in channel 130.
[0056] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the trigger component 150 of this application embodiment also includes a support column 154, which is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 122. An elastic element 153 is sleeved on the support column 154, and the second trigger end 1512a is provided with a clearance hole 1512b for avoiding the support column 154.
[0057] In practical implementation, the support column 154 plays a certain guiding role for the elastic element 153, ensuring that the elastic element 153 can only be compressed or restored along the extension direction of the support column 154. This ensures that the force applied by the elastic element 153 to the trigger rod 151 can ensure that the hook 1511b is locked together with the guide column 140, which helps to ensure the locking effect of the trigger assembly 150 on the foolproof guide rail 120 and improves the reliability of the trigger assembly 150.
[0058] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment of this application, when the plug-in 130 does not act on the second trigger end 1512a, the second trigger end 1512a protrudes from the opening on the side of the mounting groove 122 opposite to the bottom wall.
[0059] This ensures that when the plug-in 130 slides to the second trigger end 1512a, it can smoothly press against the second trigger end 1512a, thereby driving the trigger rod 151 to rotate and complete the unlocking. This prevents the side wall of the mounting groove 122 from obstructing the contact between the plug-in 130 and the second trigger end 1512a, which helps to ensure that the trigger component 150 can smoothly contact and lock. In turn, it ensures that the foolproof guide rail 120 can slide with the plug-in 130, avoiding the foolproof guide rail 120 affecting the insertion of the plug-in 130, and improving the smoothness of the insertion of the plug-in 130 into the plug-in channel 111.
[0060] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the trigger rod 151 in this embodiment of the application includes a first rod segment 1511 and a second rod segment 1512. The first rod segment 1511 and the second rod segment 1512 are arranged at an angle, and the pivot shaft 152 is provided at the connection between the first rod segment 1511 and the second rod segment 1512.
[0061] It is understandable that the included angle between the first segment 1511 and the second segment 1512 creates a certain height difference between them before the plug-in 130 is inserted into the insertion channel 111. The first segment 1511 is located inside the mounting groove 122, while the second segment 1512 protrudes at least partially from the opening on the side of the mounting groove 122 opposite to the bottom wall. In this way, when the plug-in 130 slides along the anti-foolproof guide rail 120, it can both prevent the first segment 1511 from obstructing the sliding of the plug-in 130 and ensure that the plug-in 130 can smoothly press against the second trigger end 1512a on the second segment 1512 to complete the unlocking. This is beneficial to further improve the reliability of the trigger component 150 and ensure the smooth insertion of the plug-in 130 into the insertion channel 111.
[0062] In summary, the electronic device 100 of this application embodiment includes a chassis 110, a foolproof guide rail 120, a plug-in 130, and a trigger component 150. The chassis 110 has a plug-in channel 111 for inserting the plug-in 130. The foolproof guide rail 120 is movably disposed in the plug-in channel 111. The plug-in 130 has a guide groove 1311, which slides with the foolproof guide rail 120. The trigger component 150 is disposed on the foolproof guide rail 120 and is used to lock the foolproof guide rail 120 and the plug-in channel 111. In actual use, first align the guide groove 1311 with the foolproof guide rail 120 and insert the plug-in 130. After the plug-in 130 slides a certain distance along the foolproof guide rail 120, it presses against the trigger component 150, which unlocks the trigger component 150. This allows the foolproof guide rail 120 to continue sliding with the plug-in 130 until the plug-in 130 is installed in place. This ensures that the plug-in 130 can be smoothly inserted into the plug-in channel 111, which helps to reduce the difficulty of inserting the plug-in 130, reduce the wear of the plug-in 130 during the insertion process, and thus extend the service life of the plug-in 130 and ensure the connection quality between the plug-in 130 and the internal circuitry inside the chassis 110.
