The present invention relates to an electrical expansion assembly, especially to an interface system for a functional module and a functional module thereof.
A mother board in a conventional electronic device is provided with preset circuits and required electronic elements before being dispatched out from a factory for a purpose of satisfying preset functions.
However, there is a trend of allowing the electronic device to be flexible so as to provide an adjustable function to a product having different requirements, thus there are many designs of mother boards for matching various requirements and specifications, and a problem of having excessive stock is caused, meanwhile the components being replaceable cannot be provided due to being limited by the amount of production specifications, thereby unable to achieve an objective of customizing.
Accordingly, the applicant of the present invention has devoted himself for improving the mentioned disadvantages.
The present invention is to provide an interface system for a functional module and a functional module thereof, in which a modular design is adopted for assembling required functional modules, thereby achieving an objective of customizing.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an interface system for a functional module, which includes a main system and a plurality of functional modules, the main system has a mother board, each of the functional modules has an circuit board and at least one functional element disposed on the circuit board, and the functional element of each of the functional modules is an element having various functions or specifications; wherein, an expansion assembly is disposed between the mother board of the main system and the circuit board of any of the functional modules, the expansion assembly is also disposed between the circuit boards of the functional modules, and each of the expansion assemblies has an input connector and an output connector, the input connector and the output connector are mutually engaged by a plurality of and the same amount of pins disposed respectively on the input connector and the output connector, the main system is selectively and electrically connected to each of the functional modules through the expansion assemblies to be connected extendedly (for example, connected extendedly in series).
Accordingly, the present invention provides a functional module, which can be selectively and electrically connected to a main system, and includes a circuit board and at least one functional element disposed on the circuit board, wherein an expansion assembly is disposed on the circuit board, the expansion assembly has an input connector and an output connector, the input connector and the output connector are mutually engaged by a plurality of and the same amount of pins disposed respectively on the input connector and the output connector, the expansion assembly and the main system are able to be connected for expansion.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting.

The main system 1 has a mother board 10 and a plurality of electronic elements disposed on the mother board 10 so as to provide functions required by the main system 1. The main system 1 can be a main component, for example, a circuit board, disposed in the electronic device 5 (as shown in
The functional modules 2 can be selectively and electrically connected to the main system 1, and each of the functional modules 2 has a circuit board 20 and at least one functional element 21 disposed on the circuit board 20. Please refer to
As shown from
Moreover, under a situation of an arrangement space being limited, a turning plate 4 can be further disposed between the mother board 10 of the main system 1 and the circuit board 20 of the functional module 2 for changing directions and locations of the arrangement. The turning plate 4 has an engaging circuit board 40 for allowing the input connector 30 and the output connector 31 of the expansion assembly 30 to be disposed on the engaging circuit board 40, so as the input connector 30 and the output connector 31 are inserted and connected to the output connector 31 disposed on the mother board 10 of the main system 1 and the input connector 30 disposed on the circuit board 20 of the functional module 2.
Accordingly, with the above-mentioned structure, the interface system for the functional module and the functional module thereof of the present invention can be provided.
