A main board assembly adapted to mount an expansion element is provided. The expansion element includes an electrical connection portion. One end of the electrical connection portion includes a buckling portion. The main board assembly includes a main board, a shielding board, and an operating member. The main board includes a slot and a buckling member. The slot is adapted for insertion of the electrical connection portion. The buckling member is movably disposed at one end of the slot, and is adapted to buckle the buckling portion. The shielding board is disposed on one side of the main board and includes an opening. The operating member includes a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the buckling member, and the second end extends through the opening to one side of the shielding board away from the main board.

Main board assembly

A circuit board is for inserting an expansion card with a positioning part. The circuit board includes a board body, a slot, a release assembly, and a transmission mechanism. The release assembly includes a release body, a blocking member, and an elastic member connected between the release body and the blocking member. The release body includes a blocking part for limiting the positioning part. The transmission mechanism includes a linkage part and a force applying part. When the force applying part receives an external force, the linkage part moves to move the release assembly toward a first direction, the elastic member returns to an original position to drive the blocking member to push against the positioning part to move out of the blocking part and to be located at a release position continuously, so as to release the limit of the positioning part by the blocking part.

Circuit board for inserting expansion card

An interface card assembly adapted for fixing an M.2 interface card to a circuit board body with an M.2 connector is provided. The M.2 interface card includes a connecting end and an end. The interface card assembly includes a heat dissipation plate and a fastener. The heat dissipation plate is disposed at a position adjacent to the M.2 connector, and the heat dissipation plate includes a hole. The fastener is detachably disposed in the hole. The fastener includes a main body and a cantilever, and a clamping part is disposed between the main body and the cantilever. When the M.2 interface card is inserted into the M.2 connector through the connecting end, the fastener moves relative to the heat dissipation plate at the end, so that the M.2 interface card extends into the clamping part and is clamped between the main body and the cantilever.

A circuit board includes a board body, a card slot, a release structure, and a transmission mechanism. The card slot is disposed on the board body and adapted for inserting an expansion card. The release structure is rotatably disposed beside the card slot. The transmission mechanism includes a contact part and a stressed part that are linked to each other, wherein the contact part is connected to the release structure. When the stressed part receives an external force, the contact part is moved correspondingly, so that the release structure is rotated relative to the card slot, thereby releasing the expansion card.

Circuit board

A circuit board is applied to be inserted an expansion card, the expansion card includes a positioning part. The circuit board includes a board body, a slot, a release structure and a transmission mechanism. The slot is disposed on the board body. The release structure is movably disposed beside the slot along a first direction, and includes a first inclined surface and a blocking portion for limiting the positioning part. The transmission mechanism includes a linkage part and a forcing part which are linked with each other. The linkage part is connected to the release structure. When the forcing part receives an external force, the linkage part moves to move the release structure to the first direction, and releases the limitation of the positioning part by the blocking portion.

A universal rotating module is provided. The universal rotating module comprises a suspension carrier, a top cover, a globular element, and a plurality of cushion members. The suspension carrier includes a through hole and a plurality of first fixing portions beside the through hole. The top cover includes a plurality of second fixing portions. The globular element is disposed between the suspension carrier and the top cover. A portion of the globular element passes through the through hole. Each of the cushion members is correspondingly connected with the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion.

Universal rotating module

A universal rotating module is provided. The universal rotating module comprises a main body including a first portion and two second portions; a main shaft passing through the through groove to pivotally connected to the main body; two bearings sleeved on and pivotally connected to the second portions along the second direction, respectively; two rollers pivotally connected to the second portions along a third direction, respectively; two hemispherical casings fixed to the two bearings, respectively. The first portion includes a through groove extending along a first direction, and the two second portions protrude from opposite sides of the first portion along a second direction, respectively. Each of the hemispherical casing includes a through hole at the top, and a portion of each of the rollers is exposed out of the corresponding through hole.

A manufacturing method of composite material includes following steps: shaping a stainless steel plate to a stainless structural component; putting the stainless structural component in a female mold; putting a fiber material over a surface of the stainless structural component away from the female mold; and pressing a male mold towards the female mold to make the fiber material attached to the stainless structural component. The present invention is able to make different materials attached to each other to form a composite material in a simple and efficient manufacturing process, and the composite material is light; thin and has advantages of high rigidity and high strength.

Manufacturing method of composite material

A mobile phone at least includes a first back cover, a second back cover and a main body. The first back cover has a first fastening part on its inner wall. The second back cover has a first interfering part on its inner wall. The first back cover and the second back cover are assembled with the main body. The main body has a resilient hook including a resilient arm, a second fastening part and a second interfering part. One end of the resilient arm is fixed to the main body, and the second fastening part is provided on the other end of the resilient arm. The second interfering part is provided on the resilient arm. When the second back cover is separated from the main body, the first interfering part pushes against the second interfering part to drive the second fastening part to separate from the first fastening part.
