Abstract

An electronic device includes a first connection module, a second connection module, and a positioning assembly. The positioning assembly includes a guide pin, a guide post, a guide bar, and an elastic component. The guide pin is fixed on a first surface of the first connection module, and the guide post is fixed on a second surface of the second module. The electronic device includes a positioning assembly which serves to position components during the installation of the electronic device. The positioning assembly provides space for positional adjustment to the first component and the second component and the elasticity of the elastic component avoids crushing or handling damage to the first component and the second component.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first connection module comprises a first surface;

a second connection module comprises a second surface, wherein the second surface is disposed toward the first surface;

a positioning assembly comprises:

a guide pin which is fixedly disposed on the first surface;

a guide post which is fixedly disposed on the second surface, wherein the guide post comprises a through hole;

a guide bar which is movably accommodated in or protrudes from the through hole, wherein the guide bar comprises a receiving groove, and the guide pin is movably accommodated in or protrudes from the receiving groove;

an elastic component which is elastically resists between the guide bar and the second connection module;

wherein the electronic device is switchable among a first state, a second state, and a third state; wherein in the first state, the guide bar protrudes partially from the through hole, and an entirety of the guide pin protrudes from the receiving groove; in the second state, the guide bar protrudes partially from the through hole, and the entirety of the guide pin is accommodated in the receiving groove; and in the third state, the guide bar is accommodated in the through hole, and the entirety of the guide pin is accommodated in the receiving groove.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface is parallel to the second surface, the guide pin is perpendicular to the first surface, and the guide bar is perpendicular to the second surface.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a blocking portion is provided at an end of the guide post away from the second surface, and the guide bar comprises a protrusion, and the protrusion is used to cooperate with the blocking portion to prevent the guide bar from disengaging from the guide post.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning assembly comprises a base, and the base is fixed on the second surface and accommodated in the through hole.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein one end of the elastic component is fixed on the base.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the base and the guide post are integrally formed.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic component is a spring.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprises a first component and a second component, the first component is fixed on the first surface and the second component is fixed on the second surface, and if a distance between the guide pin and the receiving groove is zero, the first component and the second component are spaced apart.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the first component is a connector, and the second component is a circuit board.
