Referring to fig. 1, 2,3, 4, 5 and 6, embodiments of the fixing device of the present invention are suitable for assembling a circuit board 80 on a substrate 70 of an electronic device (not shown). The circuit board 80 has a coupling hole 81.

The cylinder 31 covers the bearing 1 and can press the compression spring 21, and the chute track 32 has two first fixing portions 321 located at two opposite sides in the cylinder 31, and two second fixing portions 324 located at two opposite sides in the cylinder 31. The first fixing portions 321 are located above the second fixing portions 324, and each first fixing portion 321 is located between the second fixing portions 324. The first limiting holes 33 are respectively disposed in the first fixing portions 321 of the chute rails 32, and the second limiting holes 34 are respectively disposed in the second fixing portions 324 of the chute rails 32. The barrel 31 has a top 311 which is pierced by the projection 122 of the stem 12 of the bearing 1.
The housing 4 includes two housings 41 coupled to the outer side of the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3, and two elastic fastening members 42 extending from the housings 41 toward the circuit board 80 and capable of being removed to fasten the coupling holes 81 of the circuit board 80. The elastic clamping member 42 surrounds the protruding member 122 of the bearing 1 and can be pushed by the protruding member 122 to clamp the combining hole 81. The elastic locking member 42 of the housing 4 is tapered from the housing 41 toward the circuit board 80 and surrounds the protruding member 122 of the bearing 1, so that when the protruding member 122 of the bearing 1 is inserted into and pushes against the elastic locking member 42, the tapered portion of the elastic locking member 42 is pushed by the protruding member 122 and expands outwards. In the present embodiment, the shell 41 of the housing 4 is glued and adhered to the outer side of the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3, but not limited thereto.
The sleeve 3 is movable relative to the steel balls 222 of the steel ball spring 22 between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the combined position, the first limiting hole 33 of the sleeve 3 is blocked by the steel ball 222 of the steel ball spring 22, the elastic blocking piece 42 of the shell 4 is pushed by the protruding piece 122 of the bearing 1, the elastic blocking piece 42 is blocked and combined with the combining hole 81 of the circuit board 80, and in the non-combined position, the second limiting hole 34 of the sleeve 3 is blocked by the steel ball 222 of the steel ball spring 22, and the elastic blocking piece 42 of the shell 4 is not pushed by the protruding piece 122 of the bearing 1. When the circuit board 80 is moved toward the base plate 70 and the coupling hole 81 of the circuit board 80 is penetrated by the elastic locking member 42 of the housing 4 and the circuit board 80 is pushed toward the base plate 70 to push the housing 41 of the housing 4, the housing 41 drives the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 to push the compression spring 21 of the spring unit 2 toward the base plate 70 and simultaneously moves the steel balls 222 of the steel ball spring 22 away from the second limiting hole 34, and then continues to rotate the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 toward the base plate 70 and move the steel balls 222 located in the chute track 32 of the sleeve 3 toward the first limiting hole 33, and the elastic locking member 42 of the housing 4 is pushed by the protrusion 122 of the bearing 1 to expand the elastic locking member 42 toward a direction away from each other, and when the coupling position is reached, the steel balls 222 of the spring 22 are locked into the first limiting hole 33 and the protrusion 42 are pushed by the protrusion 122 of the bearing 1 to lock the elastic locking member 80 to lock the circuit board 80. In detail, when an external force is applied to push the housing 41 of the casing 4 against the base plate 70, the housing 41 drives the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 to rotate toward the base plate 70 to push the compression spring 21 of the spring unit 2, and the cylinder 31 rotates to simultaneously move the chute track 32 in the cylinder 31 relative to the steel balls 222 and move the steel balls 222 out of the second limit holes 34 in the second fixing portion 324 of the chute track 32, so as to further move the steel balls 222 toward the first limit holes 33 in the first fixing portion 321 of the chute track 32, and when the steel balls 222 are locked into the first limit holes 33 and the elastic locking members 42 of the casing 4 are pushed by the protruding members 122 of the bearing 1, the sleeve 3 is positioned in the combining position and the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 is pushed by the protruding members 122 to expand outwards, so that the compression spring 21 of the casing 4 is pushed by the protruding members 122, and the compression spring 1 is accumulated by the compression spring 41 d of the casing 4. In contrast, in the coupling position, since the housing 41 and the base 111 of the bearing 1 are separated by the pre-pressing gap d, the housing 41 of the housing 4 may be pushed against the direction of the base 70, and when an external force is applied to push the housing 41 against the direction of the base 70, the housing 41 may drive the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 to move toward the direction of the base 70 to further push the compression spring 21 of the spring unit 2, and the steel balls 222 are moved out of the first limiting hole 33 in the first fixing portion 321 of the sliding groove track 32, and then no external force is applied to push the housing 41 against the direction of the base 70, at this time, the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 21 may push the cylinder 31 away from the direction of the base 70, and the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 may rotate away from the direction of the base 70, and in the course of rotation of the cylinder 31, the sliding groove track 32 located in the cylinder 31 may move relative to the steel balls 222 and the steel balls 222 are moved toward the second limiting hole 34 located in the sliding groove track 32, and the second limiting hole 34 located in the second fixing portion 324 of the sliding groove track 32 is not pushed against the second limiting hole 122 of the sleeve 3, and the elastic restoring force of the sleeve 3 is not pushed into the second limiting hole 34 located in the second fixing portion 4 of the sliding groove track 32.
When assembling, after the connection hole 81 of the circuit board 80 is penetrated by the elastic clamping piece 42 of the shell 41, the circuit board 80 is moved towards the direction of the substrate 70 and pushes against the shell 41 of the shell 4, the shell 41 drives the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 to move towards the direction of the substrate 70 and push against the compression spring 21 of the spring unit 2, simultaneously the steel balls 222 of the steel ball spring 22 are moved away from the second limiting hole 34 and move towards the first limiting hole 33, the elastic clamping piece 42 of the shell 4 is pushed against by the protruding piece 122 of the bearing 1 and expand the elastic clamping piece 42 towards a direction away from each other, and when moving to the connection position, the steel balls 222 of the steel ball spring 22 are pushed against and expanded by the protruding piece 122 of the bearing 1 and block the circuit board 80, at this time, the elastic clamping piece 42 is clamped on the circuit board 80. Conversely, when the circuit board 80 is to be detached, since the housing 41 is separated from the base 111 of the bearing 1 by the pre-pressing gap d, the housing 41 will drive the barrel 31 of the sleeve 3 to further press the compression spring 21 of the spring unit 2 toward the base 70, and the steel balls 222 will be moved out of the first limiting hole 33 in the first fixing portion 321 of the sliding groove track 32, and then no force is applied to press the circuit board 80 against the housing 41, at this time, the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 21 will push the barrel 31 in a direction away from the base 70, and the barrel 31 will be rotated in a direction away from the base 70, and during the rotation of the barrel 31, the sliding groove track 32 in the barrel 31 will be simultaneously moved relative to the steel balls 222, and the steel balls 222 will be moved toward the second limiting hole 34 in the second fixing portion 324 of the sliding groove track 32, and when the clamping piece 222 is clamped by the second limiting hole 34, the clamping piece 4 will not be pushed out of the position of the bearing 4, and the clamping piece 122 will not be pushed by the clamping piece 80, and the clamping piece 80 will not be combined with the circuit board 80. In this embodiment, one side of the circuit board 80 is already combined inside the electronic device, so the circuit board 80 is penetrated by the elastic clamping member 42 of the housing 41 of the fixing device through the combining hole 81 and blocks the circuit board 80, so that the circuit board 80 is combined with the substrate 70, but not limited thereto, the circuit board 80 can be designed according to practical requirements, and the circuit board 80 is completely combined with the substrate 70, so the circuit board 80 is provided with a plurality of combining holes 81 and only needs to be matched with a plurality of fixing devices for fixing and combining. In addition, in the present embodiment, the fixing device is used to assemble and fix the circuit board 80 on the substrate 70, but not limited to this, other types of fixing boards (not shown) can be combined on the substrate 70 through the fixing device, so long as the elastic clamping member 42 of the housing 41 of the fixing device passes through and blocks the fixing board to be combined, and the fixing board is combined on the substrate 70.
By means of the design that the elastic clamping piece 42 of the shell 4 can clamp the combining hole 81 of the circuit board 80 and the sleeve 3 can be moved to be linked, the elastic clamping piece 42 of the shell 4 is propped against the protruding piece 122 of the bearing 1, the elastic clamping piece 42 is clamped and combined with the combining hole 81 of the circuit board 80, and the design that the base 11 of the bearing 1 is matched and combined with the base board 70 is adopted, when the sleeve 3 is moved to the combining position, the steel balls 222 of the steel ball springs 22 are clamped into the first limiting holes 33 of the sleeve 3, the elastic clamping piece 42 of the shell 4 is propped and expanded by the protruding piece 122 of the bearing 1 to clamp the circuit board 80, and at the moment, the elastic clamping piece 42 is clamped and combined with the circuit board 80, so that the circuit board 80 is assembled and combined with the base board 70, and the tool-free assembling operation is convenient and efficient.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the chute track 32 of the sleeve 3 further includes two first high portions 322 respectively located on the right side of the first fixing portion 321, two first low portions 323 respectively located on the left side of the first fixing portion 321, two second high portions 325 respectively located on the right side of the second fixing portion 324, and two second low portions 326 respectively located on the left side of the second fixing portion 324. Each first high portion 322, each first fixing portion 321 and each low portion are matched to be in a step shape, and each second high portion 325, each second fixing portion 324 and each second low portion 326 are matched to be in a step shape. The first limiting holes 33 are respectively disposed in the first fixing portions 321 of the chute rails 32, and the second limiting holes 34 are respectively disposed in the second fixing portions 324 of the chute rails 32. When the circuit board 80 is pushed against the housing 41 of the housing 4 toward the substrate 70, the housing 41 drives the cylinder 31 of the sleeve 3 to push against the compression spring 21 of the spring unit 2 toward the substrate 70 and simultaneously moves the steel balls 222 of the steel ball spring 22 away from the second limiting hole 34, and when the steel balls 222 move away from the second limiting hole 34, the steel balls 222 move from the second fixing portion 324 toward the first high portion 322 via the second low portion 326, and the steel balls 222 move from the first high portion 322, and then move into the first fixing portion 321 to the first limiting hole 33. In other words, each second high portion 325, each second fixing portion 324 and each second low portion 326 of the chute track 32 of the sleeve 3 are in a stepped design from high to low, and when the steel ball 222 moves away from the second limiting hole 34, the steel ball 222 moves from the second fixing portion 324 through the second low portion 326 toward the first high portion 322, and the steel ball 222 moves through the first high portion 322 and then moves into the first fixing portion 321 to the first limiting hole 33. Similarly, each first high portion 322, each first fixed portion 321 and each first low portion 323 of the chute track 32 of the sleeve 3 are configured to be in a step shape from high to low, and when the steel ball 222 moves away from the first limiting hole 33, the steel ball 222 moves from the first fixed portion 321 through the first low portion 323 and toward the second high portion 325, and the steel ball 222 moves through the second high portion 325 and then moves into the second fixed portion 324 to the second limiting hole 34. In short, by means of the step-shaped design of each first high portion 322, each first fixing portion 321 and each first low portion 323 of the chute track 32 of the sleeve 3, and the step-shaped design of each second high portion 325, each second fixing portion 324 and each second low portion 326, the steel ball 222 is assisted to move in a single direction and the cylinder 31 is rotated and moved up and down in a single direction, but not limited thereto.
In addition, in the present embodiment, each elastic locking member 42 has an elastic arm 421 extending from the corresponding housing 41 toward the circuit board 80, and an elastic flange 422 extending from the elastic arm 421 toward the circuit board 80. The elastic flanges 422 cooperate to define a pushing space 423 in which the protruding member 122 is extended. When the circuit board 80 is moved toward the substrate 70 and the coupling hole 81 of the circuit board 80 is penetrated by the elastic flange 422 of the elastic locking member 42, and the circuit board 80 is pushed toward the substrate 70 to push the housing 41 of the housing 4, the protrusion 122 of the bearing 1 pushes the elastic arm 421 and stretches into the pushing space 423 to push the elastic flange 422 to expand the elastic flanges 422 away from each other, and when the coupling position is reached, the elastic flange 422 is pushed and expanded by the protrusion 122 of the bearing 1 to block the circuit board 80, and at this time, the elastic locking member 42 is locked and coupled with the circuit board 80. That is, through the design that the elastic flange 422 of the elastic clamping member 42 can be expanded to block the circuit board 80, after the elastic flange 422 of the elastic clamping member 42 passes through the circuit board 80, the circuit board 80 pushes the shell 41 of the housing 4 towards the direction of the substrate 70 to rotate the barrel 31 of the sleeve 3 downwards, so that the protruding member 122 of the bearing 1 pushes the elastic arm 421 upwards to extend into the pushing space 423 and push the elastic flange 422, and the elastic flange 422 gradually expands towards a direction away from each other, and when the sleeve 3 moves to the combining position, the elastic flange 422 is pushed and expanded by the protruding member 122 of the bearing 1 to block the circuit board 80.
In summary, according to the fixing device of the present invention, the elastic clamping member 42 of the housing 4 can clamp the coupling hole 81 of the circuit board 80, and the sleeve 3 can be moved to be interlocked, so that the elastic clamping member 42 of the housing 4 is pushed by the protrusion 122 of the bearing 1, and the elastic clamping member 42 is clamped to couple the coupling hole 81 of the circuit board 80, and the design of combining the base 11 of the bearing 1 to the substrate 70 is combined with the design of combining the elastic clamping member 42 with the base 11 of the bearing 1, so that when the sleeve 3 is moved to the coupling position, the elastic clamping member 42 of the housing 4 is pushed by the protrusion 122 of the bearing 1 to expand to clamp the circuit board 80, and the circuit board 80 is assembled to the substrate 70, so that the assembly is convenient and the tool-free assembly operation is effectively achieved.
