Abstract
A fastening structure has two clip blocks and two U-shaped conducting chips. The two clip blocks are connected with an elastic arm, and have an upward extending upper hook which can pass through and buckle with the penetrating hole on the circuit board. The two clip blocks are also formed with a downward extending lower hook which can pass through and buckle with the through hole on the backplane. The upper fold slice of each U-shaped conducting chip is sandwiched between the clip block and the circuit board, the lower fold chip is sandwiched between the clip block and the backplane, therefore, the circuit board can be fastened on the backplane by the clip blocks and also can achieve an electrical connection.
Claims8
A fastening structure for fastening a circuit board onto a backplane of a display panel;
- said backplane being provided with at least two through holes;
- said circuit board being provided with at least two penetrating holes;
- and wherein said fastening structure comprises:
- two clip blocks, said two clip blocks being connected by an elastic arm, said elastic arm being configured to extend between said two clip blocks and to be flexible to the degree that each of said clip blocks can be selectively moved from a spaced aligned state toward each other to assume an angled engaged state via flexure of the elastic arm, said two clip blocks respectively comprising an inside slope and an outside edge, said elastic arm being connected with said two clip blocks in a manner which allows the inside slopes to engage one another when the two clip blocks are moved into the engaged angled state;
- each clip block comprising an upper major surface and a lower major surface;
- said upper major surfaces of said two clip blocks being formed with upper hooks that respectively pass through and hook with said at least two penetrating holes of said circuit board;
- said lower major surfaces of said two clip blocks being formed with lower hooks that respectively pass through and hook with said at least two through holes of said backplane;
- and
- two U-shaped conducting chips, each U-shaped conducting chip being configured to fit onto a single clip block and each comprising an upper fold slice, a lower fold slice, an upper opening located on said upper fold slice, and a lower opening located on said lower fold slice, said upper fold slices of said two U-shaped conducting chips respectively being configured to be between said upper major surfaces of said two clip blocks and said circuit board, said upper openings being configured to be sleeved onto said upper hooks correspondingly;
- said lower fold slices of said two U-shaped conducting chips respectively being configured to be between said lower major surfaces of said two clip blocks and said backplane, said lower openings being configured to be sleeved onto said lower hooks.
