Power module
A power module includes an outer shell, a circuit board, plural electronic components and a power transmission interface. The power transmission interface is electrically connected with the plural electronic components and partially exposed outside the outer shell. The outer shell includes a first lateral plate and a second lateral plate. The second lateral plate includes a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion. The first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion are protruded relative to the first lateral plate and respectively located at two opposite edges of the second lateral plate. After fastening elements are respectively penetrated through a first fixing slot of the first protrusion portion and a second fixing slot of the second protrusion portion and tightened into a case of an electronic device, the power module is fixed and installed on an inner surface of the case.
1. A power module installed on an inner surface of a case of an electronic device, the power module comprising:
an outer shell;
a circuit board disposed within the outer shell;
plural electronic components disposed on the circuit board; and
a power transmission interface electrically connected with the plural electronic components and partially exposed outside the outer shell,
wherein the outer shell comprises a first lateral plate and a second lateral plate, wherein the second lateral plate comprises a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion, and the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion are protruded relative to the first lateral plate and respectively located at two opposite edges of the second lateral plate, wherein the second lateral plate, the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion are coplanar and are parallel to the first lateral plate, wherein the first protrusion portion has a first fixing slot, and the second protrusion portion has a second fixing slot, wherein after fastening elements are respectively penetrated through the first fixing slot and the second fixing slot and tightened into the case, the power module is fixed and installed on the inner surface of the case of the electronic device.
