1. A parallel module driver comprising:
a modular backplane structure comprising a first backplane-lateral-side, a second backplane-lateral-side, a first surface, a second surface and a plurality of connectors, wherein the first backplane-lateral-side and the second backplane-lateral-side are opposite to each other in a first direction, the first surface and the second surface are opposite to each other in a second direction, and the plurality of connectors are disposed on the first surface and arranged-equidistantly in the first direction;
at least one rectifier module comprising a first rectifier-lateral-side, a second rectifier-lateral-side, a rectifier-connection slot, a rectifier-guiding element and a rectifier-guiding groove, wherein the first rectifier-lateral-side and the second rectifier-lateral-side are opposite to each other in the first direction, and the rectifier-connection slot is disposed on a rear surface of the rectifier module and located between the first rectifier-lateral-side and the second rectifier-lateral-side, and configured to dock with one of the connectors along the second direction; and
at least one inverter module comprising a first inverter-lateral-side, a second inverter-lateral-side, an inverter-connection slot, an inverter-guiding element and an inverter-guiding groove, wherein the first inverter-lateral-side and the second inverter-lateral-side are opposite to each other in the first direction, and the inverter-connection slot is disposed on a rear surface of the inverter module and located between the first inverter-lateral-side and the second inverter-lateral-side, and configured to dock with one of the connectors along the second direction;
wherein one of the at least one rectifier module and one of the at least one inverter module are disposed adjacent to each other, the rectifier-connection slot and the inverter-connection slot corresponding thereto are connected to two adjacent ones of the plurality of connectors on the modular backplane structure, respectively, the first rectifier-lateral-side and the second inverter-lateral-side are attached to each other, or the second rectifier-lateral-side and the first inverter-lateral-side are attached to each other;
wherein the rectifier-guiding element and the rectifier-guiding groove are disposed on the first rectifier-lateral-side and the second rectifier-lateral-side, respectively, and extended along the second direction, and the inverter-guiding element and the inverter-guiding groove are disposed on the first inverter-lateral-side and the second inverter-lateral-side, respectively, and extended along the second direction, wherein the rectifier-guiding element is matched with the inverter-guiding groove or the rectifier-guiding groove is matched with the inverter-guiding element, so as to limit the rectifier module and the inverter module to assemble and slide in the second direction.
