Movable Base Fixed Structure for Electronic Module Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for fixing communication modules to electronic apparatus circuit boards are inflexible due to fixed screw hole positions, making it difficult to accommodate modules of different sizes and requiring tool-assisted disassembly and reassembly.
Innovation Solution
A fixed structure comprising a supporting base and a movable base with an elastic clamping portion, allowing the module to be securely attached without screws and accommodating modules of varying sizes by adjusting the movable base's position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screw-locking method with fixed-position screw holes is used to fix communication modules, then the module can be securely fixed to the circuit board, but it becomes difficult to accommodate modules of different sizes and requires tool-assisted disassembly and reassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the base plate movable relative to the supporting base. The movable base plate can be adjusted to different positions along the supporting base, allowing the fixation structure to adapt to communication modules of different sizes. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction between secure fixation and adaptability to various module dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the fixation structure into a supporting base and a movable base plate that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the base plate to be adjusted separately to accommodate different module sizes while maintaining secure fixation through the elastic clamping portion and fastening mechanism.
2Reliability
If screw-locking method with fixed-position screw holes is used, then the module can be firmly fixed, but tool assistance is required for disassembly and reassembly making replacement inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by using an elastic clamping portion that automatically clamps the communication module when the movable base plate is positioned and fastened. The elastic clamping portion engages with the module without requiring external tools, allowing users to simply insert the module and secure the base plate to achieve firm fixation. This eliminates the need for tool-assisted disassembly and reassembly while maintaining reliable fixation.
3Reliability
If fixed-position screw holes are provided on the circuit board for module positioning, then the module can be securely attached, but the position is restricted and cannot be adjusted for different module sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the base plate movable along the supporting base rather than fixed at a specific position. The movable base plate can be adjusted to different positions to accommodate communication modules of varying sizes, while the elastic clamping portion maintains secure attachment. This dynamic positioning capability resolves the contradiction between secure attachment and position adjustment flexibility.

AI summary
A fixed structure is suitable for fixing an electronic module to a mainboard of an electronic apparatus, wherein the electronic module is electrically connected to an insertion slot arranged on the mainboard, and an interval space is present between the electronic module and the mainboard. The fixed structure includes a supporting base and a movable base. The supporting base includes a top, and the top is predefined with a first region and a second region. The movable base includes a positioning body and an elastic clamping portion, and the positioning body is disposed in the first region or the second region. The supporting base is disposed opposite to the insertion slot, part of the supporting base and part of the positioning body disposed thereon are accommodated in the interval space to support part of the electronic module, and the elastic clamping portion clamps one end of the electronic module.
