Improved structure of the panel in ATCA main board

Improved construction of the panel of the ATCA motherboard

This creation is about an improved structure of the face plate of the ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) motherboard, especially an improved structure of the panel of the ATCA motherboard, which can solve the trigger pin from the ATCA motherboard. The touch switch is loose and the ATCA motherboard generates an error signal, causing improper shutdown.

With the continuous development of communication technology, the processing speed of communication signals has improved from megabits to megabits. The ATCA motherboards currently using high-speed processing speeds have very high requirements for operational characteristics. The operation of the ATCA motherboard is triggered by a trigger pin to open or close the operation of the ATCA motherboard. Referring to FIG. 1, a description will be given of a case where the conventional ATCA motherboard 100 is inserted into the communication chassis 200. In order to achieve the operation of the entire communication system, the ATCA motherboard needs to be inserted into the communication chassis. In the prior art, the ATCA motherboard is first inserted into the communication chassis, and then the screws on both sides of the panel of the ATCA motherboard are screwed into the screw holes on both sides of the communication chassis to achieve the purpose of fixing the ATCA motherboard in the communication chassis. However, this kind of fixing method cannot achieve the effect of fixing the fixed handle and the panel, and it is easy to cause the trigger pin of the fixed handle to be inadvertently separated from the touch switch of the ATCA motherboard due to the external environment or artificial improper shaking. Abnormal problem. In the prior art, the trigger pin has been easily unintentionally released from the panel of the ATCA motherboard to cause separation from the touch switch, so that the communication system may misjudge the desire to perform the separation operation and close the operation, resulting in unstable operation. For this reason, it is necessary to design an improved structure to effectively solve the problem that the trigger pin is inadvertently separated from the touch switch to improve the stability of the system operation.

The design of the present invention is directed to effectively solving the above-mentioned problems in the prior art that the trigger pin is inadvertently separated from the touch switch to improve the stability of the system operation.

According to one aspect of the present invention, an improved structure of a panel of an ATCA motherboard is provided, comprising a first fixed handle, one side of the first fixed handle is provided with a trigger pin for touching the touch switch of the ATCA motherboard, the first fixed The other side of the handle is provided with a protruding fixing plate, and a first threaded member is disposed on the fixing plate for fixing with the fixing column on the panel; a second fixing handle is provided on one side of the second fixing handle; And a panel having a fixing post on one side of the panel, a screw hole in the fixing post for fixing the first threaded member of the first fixing handle, and a second threaded member on each side of the panel for respectively Fixed to the screw hole of the communication chassis.

According to another aspect of the present invention, an improved structure of a panel of an ATCA motherboard is provided, wherein a magnetic member is respectively disposed on each side of the panel of the ATCA motherboard for respectively attracting the first fixed handle and the second fixed handle.

The advantage of the present invention is that by the arrangement of the first threaded member and the fixing post on the panel, it can be ensured that the trigger pin of the fixed handle can be firmly fixed relative to the panel, so as to achieve the trigger switch of the ATCA motherboard, which does not cause triggering. The pin is released from the ATCA motherboard and the ATCA motherboard generates an error signal, causing improper shutdown.

Referring now to Figures 2 and 3, the construction of the panel of the ATCA motherboard in accordance with the present invention will now be described. Figure 2 illustrates a top view of the state of the panel of the ATCA motherboard in accordance with the present invention prior to insertion into the communications chassis. As shown in FIG. 2, the improved structure of the panel of the ATCA motherboard according to the present invention comprises: a first fixed handle 10, and one side of the first fixed handle 10 is provided with a trigger pin 12 for touching the touch of the ATCA motherboard. a switch (not shown), the other side of the first fixed handle 10 is provided with a protruding fixing plate 14, and a first threaded member 16 is disposed on the fixing plate 14 for fixing with the fixing post 20 on the panel 18; Two fixing handles 30, one side of the second fixing handle 30 is provided with a trigger pin 32; and a panel 18 having a fixing post 20 on one side of the panel 18, and a screw hole is arranged in the fixing post 20 for fixing the first fixing The first threaded member 16 of the handle 10 and the two threaded members 22 are respectively disposed on both sides of the panel 18 for fixing with the screw holes of the communication case.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the state of the panel of the ATCA motherboard according to the present invention after being inserted into the communication chassis. When the improved structure of the panel of the ATCA motherboard according to the present invention is inserted into the communication chassis, the protrusions on the outer sides of the first fixed handle 10 and the second fixed handle 30 will bear against the communication chassis, and the trigger pin 12 and the trigger pin 32 are provided. They are respectively inserted into predetermined holes (not shown) on the panel 18, of which only the trigger pin 12 is used to trigger the touch switch of the ATCA motherboard. When the trigger pin 12 and the trigger pin 32 are respectively inserted into the predetermined holes on the panel 18, the second threaded members 22 on both sides of the panel 18 are first screwed into the screw holes of the communication case to be fixed. Next, the first threaded member 16 on the fixing plate 14 of the first fixed handle 10 is screwed into the fixing post 20 on the panel 18 to be fixed. By the arrangement of the second threaded member 22, the ATCA motherboard can be securely fixed to the communication chassis. On the other hand, by the arrangement of the first threaded member 16 and the fixing post 20, the first fixed handle 10 can be firmly fixed to the panel 18 to ensure that the trigger pin 12 of the first fixed handle 10 reliably triggers the ATCA motherboard. Touching the switch does not cause the trigger pin 12 to inadvertently separate from the touch switch of the ATCA motherboard. Thereby, it can be achieved to effectively prevent the trigger pin 12 from being loosened from the ATCA motherboard's touch switch and causing the ATCA motherboard to generate an error signal, resulting in improper shutdown action.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a magnetic member may be respectively disposed on the portion of the panel 18 that is in contact with the trigger pin 12 and the trigger pin 32 for sucking the trigger pin 12 and the trigger pin 32 to facilitate the trigger pin 12. And fixing the trigger pin 32 relative to the panel 18.

Since there is only one touch switch of the ATCA motherboard, it is only necessary to provide a first threaded member 16 on the fixing plate 14 of the first fixed handle 10 for fixing with the fixing post 20 on the panel 18 to achieve a fixed fixing pin 12. The purpose. By the arrangement of the first threaded member 16 and the fixing post 20, the first fixed handle 10 can be securely fixed to the panel 18, so as to effectively prevent the trigger pin 12 of the first fixed handle 10 from being loosened from the touch switch of the ATCA motherboard. Disconnection caused the ATCA motherboard to generate an error signal causing improper shutdown action.
