Processor Fixing Frame With Elastic Buckles to Prevent Plate Bending
Solution Overview
Problem
Current CPU fixing methods cause plate bending and damage due to uneven force application, and the disassembly process is cumbersome and prone to screw loss.
Innovation Solution
A detachable fixing structure using an outer and inner frame system with elastic buckling elements to clamp the processor, eliminating the need for screws and reducing plate bending by allowing easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a processor buckle is used to fix the processor, then the processor can be securely attached to the substrate, but plate bending is formed on the processor due to uneven force application and pounding force
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into multiple independent fixing units distributed around the processor perimeter. Each fixing unit independently applies clamping force, distributing the total force evenly across multiple contact points rather than concentrating it in one location, thereby preventing localized plate bending while maintaining secure attachment
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic buckling elements are designed with specific local mechanical properties that allow them to deform elastically under load. This local elasticity enables each fixing unit to apply force in a controlled manner, ensuring uniform pressure distribution across the processor substrate interface and preventing uneven force application that causes plate bending
2Stability of the object's composition
If locking elements (screws) are used to fix the processor, then the processor can be securely mounted, but the disassembly process becomes cumbersome and screws may be lost
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic buckling elements are designed to be dynamically reversible - they can be deformed to release the processor and automatically return to their original shape to secure it again. This dynamic behavior eliminates the need for separate assembly and disassembly operations, allowing users to simply apply or release force to switch between locked and unlocked states
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic buckling elements automatically perform both the locking and unlocking functions through their inherent elastic properties. When force is applied, they deform to release the processor; when force is removed, they automatically return to their original position and re-engage with the processor, eliminating the need for manual intervention or separate tools for assembly and disassembly

Function Achieved in This Case
The structure effectively prevents plate bending and simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, reducing the risk of damage and improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Implementation Method 1
The two elastic buckling elements are adapted to be moved toward the processor through elastic deformation, so that the two elastic buckling elements are capable of jointly clamping the processor

AI summary
A fixing structure is configured to detachably fix a processor on a substrate and includes: a base, an outer frame, and an inner frame. The base includes an accommodating portion configured to mount the processor. The outer frame surrounds the base and a frame space is defined between the accommodating portion and the outer frame, where each of two opposite sides of the outer frame separately includes an engagement groove. The inner frame is embedded in the frame space, the inner frame includes two elastic buckling elements, and the two elastic buckling elements are respectively engaged with the engagement grooves. The two elastic buckling elements are adapted to be moved toward the processor through elastic deformation, so that the two elastic buckling elements are capable of jointly clamping the processor to detach from the accommodating portion.
