Abstract
An apparatus includes a first substrate, a first connector disposed on a top face of the first substrate, a to-be-fixed member disposed on a back face of the first substrate, a second substrate disposed facing the first substrate, a second connector disposed on the second substrate and connected to the first connector, and a fixing module disposed on the second substrate and pivoting a locking arm using a rotating shaft, wherein the to-be-fixed member is pushed by a pushing portion provided at a tip of the locking arm when the locking arm is at a first position.

An apparatus comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a first connector disposed on a top face of the first substrate;
- a to-be-fixed member disposed on a back face of the first substrate;
- a second substrate disposed above the top face of the first substrate and facing the first substrate;
- a second connector disposed on the second substrate and connected to the first connector;
- and
- a fixing module disposed on the second substrate and pivoting a locking arm using a rotating shaft, wherein the to-be-fixed member is pushed by a pushing portion, provided at a tip of the locking arm, being positioned above, immediately on or immediately above the to-be-fixed member when the locking arm is at a first position.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a first connector disposed on a top face of the first substrate;
- a to-be-fixed member disposed on a back face of the first substrate;
- a second substrate disposed facing the first substrate;
- a second connector disposed on the second substrate and connected to the first connector;
- and
- a fixing module disposed on the second substrate and pivoting a locking arm using a rotating shaft, wherein the to-be-fixed member is pushed by a pushing portion provided at a tip of the locking arm when the locking arm is at a first position, wherein
- the fixing module pushes the locking arm to the first position using a spring, and wherein
- the locking arm is rotatable to a second position different from the first position, and the to-be-fixed member is not pushed by the pushing portion at the second position.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a first connector disposed on a top face of the first substrate;
- a to-be-fixed member disposed on a back face of the first substrate;
- a second substrate disposed facing the first substrate;
- a second connector disposed on the second substrate and connected to the first connector;
- and
- a fixing module disposed on the second substrate and pivoting a locking arm using a rotating shaft, wherein the to-be-fixed member is pushed by a pushing portion provided at a tip of the locking arm when the locking arm is at a first position, wherein
- the pushing portion has a shape that is same as or a substantial T-shape, and wherein
- the fixing module further includes a second positioning groove on a back of a face for which a first positioning groove is provided, the first positioning groove being for positioning the first connector.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a first connector disposed on a top face of the first substrate;
- a guiding portion disposed on a back face of the first substrate;
- a second substrate disposed above the top face of the first substrate and facing the first substrate;
- a second connector disposed on the second substrate and connected to the first connector;
- and
- a fixing module disposed on the second substrate and pivoting a locking arm using a rotating shaft, wherein a detachment preventing portion provided at a tip of the locking arm is positioned immediately above the guiding portion at a first position.
A mounting structure for pushing a first substrate having a first connector disposed thereon to a second substrate having a second connecter connected to the first connector, wherein
- the first substrate has a to-be-fixed member disposed on a back of a face on which the first connector is disposed, wherein
- the second substrate is disposed above the face, on which the first connector on the first substrate is disposed, and has a locking arm including a pushing portion pushing the first substrate and rotatable between a first position and a second position that is different from the first position, and a fixing module pivoting the locking arm using a rotating shaft, and wherein
- the to-be-fixed member is pushed by the pushing portion, provided at a tip of the locking arm, being positioned above, immediately on or immediately above the to-be-fixed member at the first position and is not pushed by the pushing portion at the second position.
An inserting and pulling jig for inserting a first substrate having two positioning pins disposed facing each other in a periphery of the first substrate into a second substrate or pulling out the first substrate from the second substrate, comprising
- aguiding pin that is inserted into an inserting and pulling guiding groove formed on the second substrate;
- and
- two board-like members each disposing the guiding pins thereon, and facing each other and formed such that the each board-like members is rotated around the guiding pin as its rotation axis and, thereby, the board-like members push down locking arms from a first position to a second position, the locking arms being disposed on the second substrate so that the locking arms sandwich the first substrate therebetween to prevent detachment of the first substrate, and wherein
- each of the board-like members has a hooking portion to lift the first substrate hooking the guiding pin and the positioning pins.
A fixing method for fixing a first substrate that has a first connector disposed on a top face of the first substrate, a to-be-fixed member disposed on a back face of the first substrate, and positioning pins disposed facing each other in a periphery of the first substrate, to a second substrate that has a second connector disposed thereon and connected to the first connector, using a fixing module that fixes the first substrate disposed on the second substrate, comprising:
- positioning the first substrate relative to the second substrate by inserting the positioning pins into a positioning groove of the fixing module;
- connecting the first connector to the second connector;
- and
- rotating a locking arm pivoted by a rotating shaft to a position at which a pushing portion provided at a tip of the locking arm pushes the to-be-fixed member, wherein
- the insertion of the positioning pins into the positioning groove is executed by a pin pushing portion of a jig, the pin pushing portion pushing down the positioning pins by rotation of the jig, the jig being for inserting the first substrate into the second substrate.
