  • Patent number: 6817881
    Abstract: A fast assembly structure module comprises a seat body connected to at least one control unit. The seat body has at least three plate bodies. Each plate body has a connection hole. The control unit has an arm. A retaining plate, which can be controlled to insert in and extract out of a corresponding connection hole, is controlled by the arm. The retaining plate is retracted by use of the arm. An electrical component having a plurality of projection sticks, each of which is removably inserted into the connection hole of one of the at least three plate bodies, is releasably locked to the seat body by the retaining plate and inserted into and removed from the seat body by using to arm to displace the retaining plate.

    Abstract: A fast assembly structure module comprises a seat body connected to a control unit at least. The seat body at least has three plate bodies. Each plate body has a plurality of connection holes. The control unit has an arm. A retaining plate, which can be controlled to insert in and extract out a corresponding connection hole, is disposed at the arm. And, the seat body can be combined with a component with projecting sticks corresponding to the connection holes of the plate bodies. Furthermore, the projecting stick is controlled to insert into or extract out the connection hole thorough the retaining plate of the plate body. Thereby, a fast assembly structure for a module can be obtained and a convenient replacement for a damaged part can be reached.
