Abstract

The circuit board packaging structure capable of inserting and extracting an interface part of a circuit board into and from a connector part of the processing equipment in a direction different from a direction of attaching and detaching the circuit board to and from the processing equipment includes: an operating part which turns on receiving force; a plate part which is fixed to the circuit board to be rotatable in a direction reverse to a turning direction of the operating part, and converts the force received by the operating part to force in a direction different from the attaching and detaching direction to move the circuit board in that direction; a link part which connects the operating part with the plate part to transmit the force received by the operating part to the plate part; and a fastener which fastens the circuit board and the operating part with play.

Claims (23)

1. A circuit board packaging structure, in which an interface part of a circuit board can be inserted into and extracted from a connector part of a device in a direction different from a direction of attaching and detaching the circuit board to and from the device, comprising:

an operating part which turns on receiving force;

a plate part which includes a first n abutted on an upper edge of the circuit board and a second pin abutted on a lower edge of the circuit board, is fixed to the circuit board to be rotatable in a direction reverse to a turning direction of the operating part, and is configured to convert the force received by the operating part to provide a force of pushing the circuit board downward or upward;

a link part which connects the operating part with the plate part to transmit the force received by the operating part to the plate part; and

a fastener which fastens the circuit board and the operating part with play in the circuit board;

wherein the operating part is configured such that when the operating part is pushed down, the first pin pushes the circuit board downward while sliding along the upper edge of the circuit board, the second pin lifts and holds the circuit board not to be oblique to a downward direction while sliding along the lower edge of the circuit board.

2. The circuit board packaging structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the operating part is configured to turn on an operation axis vertical and horizontal to the attaching and detaching direction, and

the plate part is fixed to the circuit board to be turnable on a conversion axis different from the operation axis vertical and horizontal to the attaching and detaching direction.

3. The circuit board packaging structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the link part includes a link pivot part for connection to the operating part and a link opening for penetrating a plate pivot part provided on the plate part through the link part,

the operating part has an operation opening for penetrating the link pivot part,

the plate part has the plate pivot part for connection to the link part, and

the link part connects the operating part with the plate part in a state of being turnable on the link pivot part and the plate pivot.

4. The circuit board packaging structure according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is configured to be inserted into or extracted from the connector part while being attached to the device by the first pin, the second pin and the fastener.

5. The circuit board packaging structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fastener includes a shoulder screw,

the circuit board is fixed to a cover member having a tongue part with an opening,

the operating part is penetrated through a lower step part of the shoulder screw,

an opening of the tongue part is penetrated through an upper step part of the shoulder screw, and

the upper step part of the shoulder screw is formed thicker than the opening of the tongue part.

6. The circuit board packaging structure according claim 1 ,

wherein the operating part is configured such that when the operating part is pulled upward, the second pin pushes the circuit board upward while sliding along the lower edge of the circuit board, the first pin presses and holds the circuit board not to be oblique to an upward direction while sliding along the upper edge of the circuit hoard.
