[0025] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a box, including a box body, a PCB backplate 6, a front guide rail slot 7, and a rear guide rail slot 8. The box body includes a base plate 1, a cover plate 2, and two side plates 3 forming an overall frame. The PCB backplate 6 is installed in the middle of the box body and arranged laterally. With the PCB backplate 6 as the dividing line, the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 have a front crossbeam 4 at the front end of the dividing line and a rear crossbeam 5 at the rear end of the dividing line. Both the front crossbeam 4 and the rear crossbeam 5 are arranged laterally. Multiple front guide rail slots 7 are slidably mounted on the front crossbeam 4, and multiple rear guide rail slots 8 are slidably mounted on the rear crossbeam 5. The front circuit board 9 and the rear circuit board 10 are inserted into the box body and dock with the PCB backplate 6 through the front guide rail slots 7 and the rear guide rail slots 8, respectively.

[0027] There are four front crossbeams 4, with two corresponding front crossbeams 4 on the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 respectively. The front crossbeams 4 on the upper and lower sides are slidably connected to corresponding front guide rail slots 7. There are also four rear crossbeams 5, with two corresponding rear crossbeams 5 on the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 respectively. The rear crossbeams 5 on the upper and lower sides are slidably connected to corresponding rear guide rail slots 8. This design allows the front circuit board 9 to be supported and guided from both the top and bottom, enhancing the stability of the insertion box structure and ensuring that the circuit board remains stable during insertion, reducing contact problems caused by tilting or imbalance; it also facilitates the installation and removal of the circuit board.

[0028] The front crossbeam 4 and the rear crossbeam 5 are provided with grooves 14 along their length, and the front guide rail slot 7 and the rear guide rail slot 8 are provided with sliders 15 at both ends that cooperate with the grooves 14. This cooperation design of the grooves 14 and sliders 15 allows the guide rail slots to slide freely on the crossbeams, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the guide rail slots, adapts to circuit boards of different widths, and improves the versatility and flexibility of the insertion box.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 The slider 15 includes a main body and a protrusion. The protrusion is located on the outward-facing side of the main body, and its top has an upward-sloping bevel. This design makes it easier for the slider 15 to be inserted into the slide groove 14. The beveled design guides the slider 15 smoothly into the slide groove 14, reducing resistance and jamming during installation and improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the tight fit between the protrusion and the slide groove 14 enhances the stability of the connection, preventing the guide rail slot from shaking or falling off during use.

[0030] In this embodiment, the front and rear ends of the housing are respectively provided with pull-out aids 11 that match each front circuit board 9 and rear circuit board 10. The upper and lower ends of the pull-out aids 11 are respectively provided with assistive plates 12. This design greatly facilitates the insertion and removal of circuit boards. Especially when the circuit board is tightly connected to the PCB backplane 6, the pull-out aids 11 can provide additional leverage, reducing the force required by the operator and preventing damage to the circuit board or connector due to improper force. The design of the assistive plates 12 increases the contact area, making the operation more comfortable and safer.

[0031] The pull-out aid 11 is detachably connected to both the front circuit board 9 or the rear circuit board 10 and the chassis. This detachable connection allows the pull-out aid 11 to be flexibly installed or removed as needed, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Simultaneously, this design also allows the pull-out aid 11 to be removed when the circuit board is not needed, maintaining a neat and compact appearance of the chassis.

[0032] The end of the side panel 3 is also provided with a lug 13 extending vertically. The design of the lug 13 enhances the structural strength of the enclosure and prevents the side panel 3 from deforming under stress. At the same time, the lug 13 can also serve as an interface for connecting the enclosure to external equipment or racks, facilitating the fixing and installation of the enclosure. The vertical extension design of the lug 13 also increases the stability of the enclosure, reducing shaking and vibration during use.

[0033] In summary, this utility model, through its reasonable structural layout, allows for simultaneous installation from both the front and rear sides of the insertion box, making full use of the box's internal space. Furthermore, the sliding design of the front and rear guide rail slots increases the system's flexibility, accommodating circuit boards of different specifications and facilitating repair and replacement after damage. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial applicability.
