fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a circuit board module according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1, the circuit board module 1 of the present embodiment is used for being assembled into a chassis 20 (shown in fig. 5). The circuit board module 1 includes acircuit board assembly 2 and a floatingtype shielding mechanism 100. Thecircuit board assembly 2 includes acircuit board 10 and aback plate 30 fixed to thebottom surface 18 of thecircuit board 10. The floatingshield mechanism 100 is located on thetop surface 16 of thecircuit board 10.
Circuit board 10 includes a plurality of input/output ports 12 on atop surface 16. The floatingshielding mechanism 100 is movably disposed on thecircuit board 10 and theback plate 30 and covers the input/output ports 12 of thecircuit board 10.
Compared to the situation that the shielding mechanism cannot be well abutted against the chassis after the shielding mechanism and the circuit board are assembled to the chassis together due to tolerance, in the embodiment, the floatingshielding mechanism 100 can slightly move relative to thecircuit board 10, so that the abuttingportion 127 of the floatingshielding mechanism 100 can abut against thechassis 20 after the floatingshielding mechanism 100 is assembled to thechassis 20 together with thecircuit board 10 and theback plate 30, thereby achieving a good electromagnetic shielding effect. This will be explained below.
Fig. 2 is a partial sectional view taken along line a-a of fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a partial sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 1. Fig. 4A is an exploded view of the floating shield mechanism and the backplate of fig. 1.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4A, the floatingtype shielding mechanism 100 includes ahousing 110, ashielding plate 120 and aflexible conductor 150. Thecover 110 is disposed on thecircuit board 10 and located on thetop surface 16 of thecircuit board 10, and covers the input/output ports 12.
The shieldingplate 120 is movably disposed between thecover 110 and theback plate 30 along a moving direction D1. In detail, the shieldingplate 120 includes amain body 121, atop body 122 and abottom body 123 connected to themain body 121 in a bending manner, and a plurality of abuttingportions 127 surrounding themain body 121.
Themain body 121 of theshielding plate 120 has a plurality ofopenings 124, and theopenings 124 respectively correspond to the input/output ports 12. Thetop sheet 122 and thebottom sheet 123 are respectively located at two opposite ends of themain sheet 121. Thetop panel 122 is adjacent to theshell 110 and thebottom panel 123 is adjacent to theback panel 30. The abuttingportion 127 is used to abut against a portion of thehousing 10 around thehousing opening 24.
As shown in fig. 2, one of thetop sheet body 122 and thecover body 110 is provided with afirst protrusion 112 at a position facing each other, and the other is provided with afirst opening 125. Thefirst protrusion 112 is movably disposed at thefirst opening 125 along the moving direction D1.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, thetop sheet body 122 has afirst opening 125, and thecover body 110 has afirst protrusion 112. Of course, in other embodiments, thetop sheet body 122 may also have thefirst protrusion 112, and thecover body 110 may also have thefirst opening 125.
In the embodiment, thefirst protrusion 112 is integrally formed on thecover 110, but thefirst protrusion 112 may be fixed on thecover 110 by locking, riveting, fastening, and adhering, and is not limited to the above.
In addition, as shown in fig. 4A, in the present embodiment, thefirst opening 125 is a long hole or an elliptical hole. The length dimension L1 of thefirst opening 125 is greater than the dimension P (fig. 2) of thefirst projection 112 such that thefirst projection 112 is able to slide within thefirst opening 125. Therefore, theshield plate 120 can move relative to thecover 110. Of course, the form of thefirst opening 125 is not limited thereto.
FIG. 4B is a schematic view of a first opening of a floating shield mechanism according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 4B, in the present embodiment, thefirst opening 125a is a circular hole. The diameter dimension d1 of thefirst opening 125a is greater than the dimension P of the first tab 112 (fig. 2). Therefore, thefirst protrusion 112 can also move relative to thefirst opening 125 a.
Referring back to fig. 3, thebottom plate 123 is located between theback plate 30 and thecircuit board 10, one of the portions of thebottom plate 123 facing theback plate 30 is provided with asecond protrusion 140, the other one is provided with a second opening 32, and thesecond protrusion 140 is movably disposed in the second opening 32 along the moving direction D1.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, theback plate 30 has the second opening 32, and thesecond protrusion 140 is disposed on thebottom plate 123. Of course, in other embodiments, theback plate 30 may be disposed on thebottom plate 123, and thesecond protrusion 140 may also have the second opening 32.
Further, in the present embodiment, thebottom body 123 has ascrew hole 126, and thesecond protrusion 140 includes anut 142, aboss 144 and ascrew body 146 connected in sequence. Thescrew body 146 of the second protrudingportion 140 is screwed to thescrew hole 126 of thebottom plate body 123, and theboss 144 abuts against thebottom plate body 123, so that the second protrudingportion 140 is firmly fixed on thebottom plate body 123 of theshielding plate 120.
In this embodiment, when the floatingshielding mechanism 100 is assembled, thefirst protrusion 112 is inserted into thefirst opening 125, and then thesecond protrusion 140 is inserted through the second opening 32 of theback plate 30 and screwed into thescrew hole 126 of thebottom plate 123. In other words, thesecond protrusion 140 is designed similar to a screw, which can improve the assembly convenience of the floatingshielding mechanism 100.
Of course, in other embodiments, thesecond protrusion 140 may also be integrally formed on thebottom sheet body 123, for example, and is formed in a protruding or folding manner, without being limited thereto.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4A, the second opening 32 is a long hole or an elliptical hole. As shown in fig. 3, the length L2 and the width L3 (fig. 4A) of the second opening 32 are greater than the dimension R1 of theprotrusion 144 of thesecond protrusion 140, so that theprotrusion 144 of thesecond protrusion 140 can move in the second opening 32. Of course, the shape of the second opening 32 is not limited thereto.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the dimension R2 of thenut 142 is greater than the width dimension L3 (shown in fig. 4A) of the second opening 32, so that theback plate 30 is not separated from thebottom plate 123 and thesecond protrusion 140 at a position close to the second opening 32.
FIG. 4C is a schematic view of a second opening of a floating shield mechanism in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4C, in the present embodiment, the second opening 32a is a circular hole. The diameter dimension d2 of the second opening 32a is greater than the dimension R1 (fig. 3) of theboss 144 such that theboss 144 of thesecond projection 140 is movable within the second opening 32 a.
In addition, the dimension R2 of thenut 142 is larger than the diameter dimension d2 of the second opening 32, so that theback plate 30 does not get out of between thebottom plate 123 and thesecond protrusion 140 at the position close to the second opening 32 a.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3, in the present embodiment, theflexible conductor member 150 may compressively protrude from theinner surface 128 of theshielding plate 120 and contact the input/output ports 12. Therefore, theflexible conductor member 150 can be compressed so that the input/output port 12 on thecircuit board 10 is relatively close to theshield plate 120. In the present embodiment, theflexible conductor 150 may be a conductive foam, which may be compressed and conductive, but theflexible conductor 150 is not limited thereto.
Fig. 5-6 are top schematic views of the circuit board module of fig. 1 installed in a chassis. It should be noted that fig. 5 and fig. 6 are schematic diagrams, and fig. 1 to fig. 4A are combined together. Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, thehousing 20 includes ahousing opening 24 on thefirst wall 23 and ahousing fixing hole 26 on thesecond wall 25. Thecircuit board 10 includes a circuitboard fixing hole 14 therethrough.
When thecircuit board 10 is assembled with the floatingshielding mechanism 100 into thehousing 20, the circuitboard fixing holes 14 are aligned with the housing fixing holes 26 for screws (not shown) to lock thecircuit board 10 to thehousing 20.
However, as shown in fig. 5, when thecircuit board 10 is assembled into thehousing 20 together with the floatingshielding mechanism 100, the shieldingplate 120 abuts against theinner wall surface 27 around thehousing opening 24, but the circuitboard fixing hole 14 is not aligned with thehousing fixing hole 26, so that thecircuit board 10 cannot be locked on thehousing 20.
Referring to fig. 6, in this embodiment, theflexible conductor 150 is used to be compressed. The assembler pushes thecircuit board 10 along the moving direction D1 toward thefirst wall 23 of thecasing 20, and theflexible conductor 150 is compressed, thereby making room for the circuitboard fixing holes 14 to be located at the casing fixing holes 26. Thus, the circuitboard fixing holes 14 are aligned with thecase fixing holes 26, and screws can pass through the circuitboard fixing holes 14 and thecase fixing holes 26, so that thecircuit board 10 is fixed on thecase 20.
Fig. 7 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a shield sheet according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 7, in the present embodiment, theflexible conductor 150a is a bent elastic sheet formed by folding a portion of theshielding sheet 120. Theflexible conductor 150a is adapted to abut the input and output ports 12 (shown in fig. 2). As shown in fig. 5, when the circuitboard fixing hole 14 is not aligned with thechassis fixing hole 26, the assembler only pushes thecircuit board 10 toward thefirst wall 23 of thechassis 20, and theflexible conductor 150a of the embodiment may be pressed toward the shieldingplate 120, so that the circuitboard fixing hole 14 is aligned with thechassis fixing hole 26. Of course, the kind of theflexible conductor member 150a is not limited thereto.
In summary, the floating shielding mechanism of the present invention is configured to the cover body and the back plate movably through the shielding plate, and the flexible conductor member is configured to protrude from the inner surface of the shielding plate in a compressible manner.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
