"Each positioning column includes a column in the bottom column and a vertex. For example, the clamp column 102a includes a bottom post 103a, a spine 1 and a top vertex i〇3c. In the present embodiment, the top vertex 1〇3c of the clamping post 10a (a or each positioning post) passes through the positioning hole i04a (or each positioning hole) of the circuit board ι4. Next, the circuit board 104 rests on the bottom post i〇3a. In order to achieve the above object, the aperture of the first opening 1〇5a of the positioning hole l〇4a (or each positioning post) needs to be larger than the top vertex 1〇3c of the positioning post 1〇2a (or each positioning post). Moreover, the aperture of the first opening 105a of the positioning hole 1〇4&amp; (or each of the clamping posts) needs to be smaller than the diameter of the bottom post 10a3a of the positioning post 1〇2&amp; (or each positioning post). Further, the diameter of the center pillar 1〇3b is smaller than the diameter of the bottom pillar 103a or the diameter of the bottom surface of the top vertex 1〇3c. Then, the user can operate the fixing member 110 (for example, apply the handle u〇c) so that the fastening portion 110b is connected to the edge i〇4c of the σ circuit board 1〇4 and pushes in the direction 120 and the parallel plate surface 102. The circuit board 1〇4 causes the top vertex 103c of the positioning post 1〇2a (or each positioning post) to be snapped into the second opening 105b of the clamping hole i〇4a (or each positioning post), please refer to FIG. 3 5 and FIG. 5 (the top view of FIG. 3), the state in which the positioning holes 104a and 1bb of the circuit board 104 are engaged with the positioning posts 1〇2&amp;, 1〇2b is shown. At this time, the fixing member 11 is in the locked position (the handle n〇c points to the position of the LOCK). In order to achieve the above purpose, the aperture of the first opening 1 〇 5a of the positioning hole ι 4 &amp; (or each clamping hole) needs to be smaller than the apical vertebra 103C of the positioning post I 〇 2a (or each 7 1332382 positioning post) The diameter of the bottom surface. In the present embodiment, the engaging portion 110b is an L-shaped flap to engage the edge l4c of the circuit board 1〇4. When the fixing member 110 is in the lock position, the fastening portion u〇b simultaneously limits the degrees of freedom of the circuit board 1〇4 to the right and upward, and the positioning holes 1〇4a (or each of the clamping holes) of the circuit board 1〇4 The circuit board 104 is locked between the top vertex 1〇3c of the positioning post 10〇2a (or each positioning post) and the bottom post I03a. When the user wants to disassemble the circuit board 104, the fixing member is first rotated back to the release position, and then the circuit board 104 is pushed to slide in the opposite direction of the direction 120 until the circuit board 1〇4 is in the state of FIGS. 2 and 4. The circuit board 104 can be pulled up in the direction of the vertical board surface 102. Referring to Figure 6, there is shown an enlarged view of a fixing member in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. How to limit the fixing member 11 between the release position and the locking position will be described below. The fixing member 110 is pivotally connected to the board surface 〇6 by the shaft hole u〇g. The fixing member 110 has an arc-shaped hollow sliding slot u〇d for being sleeved on the limiting post 110e (fixed to the panel surface 1〇6). When the fixing member 11 turns, the hollow sliding groove ii 〇 d slides relative to the limiting post 110e, but the limiting post u 〇 e can only slide in the hollow sliding groove 110d.
