Abstract

A circuit board fixing structure comprising a first fixing element and a first circuit board is provided. The first fixing element includes a shaft, a first flange and a second flange. One end of the shaft is provided with a receiving portion. The first flange is connected with a side surface of the shaft. The second flange is connected with the side surface of the shaft and is spaced apart from the first flange. The first circuit board is fixed on a surface of the first flange away from the second flange.

Claims (19)

1. A circuit board fixing structure, comprising:

a first fixing element, comprising:

a shaft, one end of the shaft is provided with a receiving portion;

a first flange connected with a side surface of the shaft; and

a second flange connected with the side surface of the shaft and spaced apart from the first flange;

a first circuit board fixed on a surface of the first flange away from the second flange; and

a second fixing element partially clamped between the first flange and the second flange, wherein the second flange is at another end of the shaft, and the another end is opposite to the end provided with the receiving portion.

2. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the first circuit board and the first fixing element form a surface mounted structure.

3. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein a height of the second flange relative to the side surface of the shaft is greater than a height of the first flange relative to the side surface of the shaft.

4. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein an outer edge of the second flange is directional.

5. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 1 , further comprising a structural element on the receiving portion.

6. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 5 , wherein the receiving portion is a screw hole extending into the shaft.

7. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 6 , wherein the structural element is a second circuit board, and the second circuit board is fixed to the screw hole.

8. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the second fixing element is a chassis.

9. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 8 , wherein the chassis has a through hole, a portion of the shaft between the first flange and the second flange passes through the through hole, and the first flange and the second flange abut against two opposite surfaces of the chassis, respectively.

10. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 9 , wherein the chassis comprises a base portion and a recessed portion connected with each other, the through hole extends at least to the recessed portion, and the second flange is in the recessed portion.

11. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 8 , wherein the chassis has a through hole, a portion of the shaft between the first flange and the second flange passes through the through hole, and the first flange abuts the shaft or the second flange abuts the shaft.

12. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 8 , wherein the end of the shaft penetrates out of a surface of the first circuit board facing away from the chassis.

13. The circuit board fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the second fixing element is a clamping element, wherein the clamping element clamps the second flange, or the first flange and the second flange clamp the clamping element, the clamping element has a groove portion, and a portion between the first flange and the second flange is clamped at an upper edge of the groove portion of the clamping element.
