Abstract

The present application discloses a circuit board positioning device, comprising: a beam, a first side of the beam forming a circuit board supporting surface, and the first side being provided with a first fixture block and a second fixture block, a first positioning slot being formed on the first fixture block, a second positioning slot being formed on the second fixture block, the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot being used for limiting positions of two opposite side edges in the circuit board; a snap-fit, one end of the snap-fit being rotatablely mounted on the beam around one end of the beam; a lock mechanism being provided between the snap-fit and the beam for locking the snap-fit and the beam when the snap-fit is in a closed position, and a side of the snap-fit facing towards the beam being provided with at least one elastic pressing sheet protruding towards the beam when being in the closed position. The circuit board positioning device can protect the circuit board from being damaged when shock occurs.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A circuit board positioning device, comprising:
a beam, a first side of the beam forming a circuit board supporting surface, and the first side being provided with a first fixture block and a second fixture block, a first positioning slot being formed on a side of the first fixture block facing towards the second fixture block, a second positioning slot being formed on a side of the second fixture block facing towards the first fixture block, the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot being used for limiting positions of two opposite side edges in the circuit board;
a fixed mechanism for fixedly connecting the beam with a carrier backboard;
a snap-fit, one end of the snap-fit being rotatably mounted on the beam around one end of the beam;
a lock mechanism being provided between the snap-fit and the beam for locking the snap-fit and the beam when the snap-fit is in a closed position; and
at least one elastic pressing sheet disposed on a side of the snap-fit facing and protruding towards the beam when the snap-fit is in a closed position.

2. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixture block and the second fixture block have an integrated structure with the beam.

3. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixture block and the second fixture block are made of an elastic material.

4. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed mechanism is an elastic clasp.

5. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 4 , wherein the location of the elastic clasp on the beam is selected from the group consisting of the middle of the beam and both ends of the beam.

6. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the snap-fit is rotatably mounted on the beam around one end of the beam and one end of the snap-fit is mounted on the first fixture block.

7. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 6 , wherein the snap-fit and the first fixture block have an integrated structure.

8. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the lock mechanism comprises:
an elastic slot arranged on one of the snap-fit and the beam; and
an elastic clasp arranged on the other of the snap-fit and the beam.

9. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the elastic pressing sheets is two.

10. The circuit board positioning device according to claim 2 , wherein the number of the elastic pressing sheets is two.
