Connector with slot type locking structure and apparatus comprising the same

Abstract

The invention discloses a connector with a slot-typed self-locking structure, which comprises a male connector end and a female connector end. The connector also comprises a slot body, a movable substrate, a flexible circuit board, a female end linkage body and a position maintaining mechanism; wherein, the slot body is used for holding the female end linkage body; the two sides of the slot body are respectively provided with a slide rail; the two sides of the movable substrate are respectively provided with a slide block which matches the corresponding slide rail of the slot body in a sliding way; the flexible circuit board is fixedly arranged on the movable substrate; one end of the female end linkage body is provided with the female connector end; the two sides of the female end linkage body respectively match the slide rails and / or slide block in a sliding way; the two side surfaces of the female end linkage body are also provided with a concave part used for self-locking; the position maintaining mechanism comprises a position maintaining component and a reset component; the slide blocks which extend outwards are provided with an inclined wedge component which is linked movably; and the inclined wedge component is provided with a convex part which matches the concave part of the female end linkage body. The invention also discloses a communication device (cell phone) which is composed of the connector. The connector has a small structure. After being connected, the female end locks the male end in the slot type, thereby closely integrating the product. The invention is applicable to the split design requirements of the communication products and the digital products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connector structure, in particular to a connection structure used for split connection of digital products. The invention also relates to a communication device composed of the connector. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of modern science and technology brings great convenience to people's life and work. Digital products are increasingly loved and used by more people. However, in the production process of digital products, mass production is usually required to reduce the cost of products. , and the result of mass production is that the types of shells of the products are too single, the appearance is homogeneous, and there is little room for consumers to choose. For this reason, many split-type digital products are being developed. The core module integrates most of the functions, and then combines with different shells to form products of different styles. This will be a design trend of digital products....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the electronic components caused by the split design of digital products are usually a combination of a core module and a shell. The self-locking and holding structure is not suitable for the connection of split digital products

In addition, the split design of digital products will increase the number of connection ports between electronic components in order to increase the data transmission speed and avoid the waste of hardware and software costs caused by the use of higher-level communication protocols, while the small size of digital products The manufacturers of digital products have become more portable, pocketable, and portable, and the manufacturers of digital products have reduced the size of each electronic component of digital products, and the self-locking and holding structure of the aforementioned memory card cannot be used for reference.

[0003] In addition, the connectors used in electronic products between circuit boards and circuit boards have a relatively large structure and a limited number of connected terminals, which cannot meet the needs of communication products. and the increasingly miniaturized requirements of digital products

The structure commonly used by people in the industry is that the connection between the terminal and the circuit board is a pin type. Since the pin needs to be drilled, this undoubtedly increases the distance between the terminals

In addition, USB, as a general communication connection method, is used by more and more designers. However, the existing USB interface is large in size. For specialized products, when the USB communication method needs to be used, the existing interface standard can be used directly. Undoubtedly increased the structural size of the product
