Abstract

The present disclosure provides an engaging connection structure and an engaging connection method thereof. The engaging connection structure includes at least one vertical insert portion and an assembly portion. The assembly portion is configured to be assembled at an object, and the vertical insert portion is configured for an insert to be inserted vertically therein. Thus, the engaging connection structure and the engaging connection method thereof of the present disclosure are enabled to provide a required object and an insert with a stable assembly effect.

Claims (17)

1. An engaging connection structure, comprising at least one vertical insert portion and an assembly portion, wherein the assembly portion is configured to be assembled at an object, and the vertical insert portion is configured for an insert with an inserted portion to be inserted vertically therein; and

an engaging member, movably assembled with the engaging connection structure, the engaging member is configured to be inserted into the inserted portion of the insert within the vertical insert portion,

wherein the insert is a circuit board, a metal board, a plastic board, a board card, a printed circuit board (PCB), an M.2 card, an E1.S card, an NIC card, an integrated circuit (IC), a chip, a memory card, a cooling fin, cooling card, a heat sink, or an electronic device having a heat sink.

2. An engaging connection structure, comprising at least one vertical insert portion and an assembly portion, wherein the assembly portion is configured to be assembled at an object, and the vertical insert portion is configured for an insert with an inserted portion to be inserted vertically therein; and

an engaging member, movably assembled with the engaging connection structure, the engaging member is configured to be inserted into the inserted portion of the insert within the vertical insert portion;

wherein the engaging connection structure comprises a restricting portion, wherein the restricting portion is configured to correspondingly limit a corresponding restricting portion of the object, or the restricting portion is an anti-rotation portion that is configured to anti-rotate, limit or restrict a direction or to restrict an engaging connection direction of the engaging member, or the restricting portion restricts an inserting direction of the insert, or the restricting portion restricts a motion direction of the insert, or the restricting portion restricts a direction of the vertical insert portion, or the restricting portion restricts a direction of the horizontal insert portion.

3. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a rotating insert portion, wherein the vertical insert portion is in communication with the rotating insert portion.

4. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a rotating insert portion or another vertical insert portion, or the vertical insert portion is in communication with the rotating insert portion, or the rotating insert portion is in communication with the another vertical insert portion.

5. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , comprising an elastic element, wherein the engaging member is configured to be inserted into the insert, the engaging member is a column, an outer fastener, a threaded body, an elastic fastener or an inner fastener, the engaging member is movably assembled with the engaging connection structure, or the engaging member comprises an elastic element, one end of the elastic element presses against the engaging connection structure, and the other end of the elastic element presses against the engaging member.

6. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a rotating insert portion, wherein the vertical insert portion is in communication with the rotating insert portion, the insert comprises a protrusion, the protrusion is configured to be first inserted into the vertical insert portion and then horizontally or rotationally inserted into the rotating insert portion.

7. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein a protrusion of the insert horizontally or rotationally enters a rotating insert portion and or is then inserted into the vertical insert portion.

8. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , comprising a push member, wherein the push member presses against the insert, or the push member is movably arranged at the vertical insert portion by a bolted portion, or the insert presses against the push member when inserted into the vertical insert portion, or the push member is moved to remove the insert from the vertical insert portion.

9. The engaging connection structure according to claim 1 , comprising a body, wherein the body is provided with a restricting portion, the restricting portion corresponds to a corresponding restricting portion of a mold, and the corresponding restricting portion and the restricting portion are configured for corresponding limiting or anti-rotation.

10. An engaging connection method of an engaging connection structure, engagingly connecting the engaging connection structure of claim 1 , the engaging connection structure comprising at least one vertical insert portion and an assembly portion, the method comprising: assembling the assembly portion at an object, and inserting vertically an insert into the vertical insert portion; or the engaging connection structure comprising at least one horizontal insert portion, the method comprising assembling the engaging connection structure at an object and inserting horizontally an insert into the horizontal insert portion.

11. An engaging connection structure, comprising at least one vertical insert portion and an assembly portion, wherein the assembly portion is configured to be assembled at an object, and the vertical insert portion is configured for an insert with an inserted portion to be inserted vertically therein; and

an engaging member, movably assembled with the engaging connection structure, the engaging member is configured to be inserted into the inserted portion of the insert within the vertical insert portion,

wherein the engaging connection structure further comprised a pressurizing portion, a material storage space and a restricting portion; wherein, the pressurizing portion is configured to apply a pressure on an object to cause a material of the object to flow into or enter the material storage space so as to limit the engaging connection structure at the object; or the assembly portion is configured to be pressurized by an object so that a material of the object is limited or fit connected at the assembly portion to restrict the engaging connection structure at the object by the assembly portion; or the engaging connection structure further comprises a weldable surface, which is configured to be heated and welded so that the engaging connection structure is welded at the object; or the engaging connection structure further comprises a lock connection portion or an engaging connection portion so that the engaging connection structure is assembled at the object.
