The wire-end connector is mated to the board-end connector, and the board-end connector has a board-end sliding cover. The board-end sliding cover prevents the wire-end connector from detaching from the board-end connector. This effectively prevents the wire-end connector from easily detaching from the mated board-end connector when the miniaturized connector assembly is subjected to external impact during use in electronic products.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and more specifically, to a miniaturizable connector assembly and its board-end connector and wire-end connector. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Note that connector assemblies are often used in electronic products to transmit electrical or power signals. Generally speaking, a connector assembly includes wire connectors and board connectors. The wire connector can mate with the board connector, and the wire connector will avoid detaching from the board connector by the friction generated when it contacts the board connector.

[0003] However, as electronic products become increasingly thinner, the limited internal space necessitates a continuous miniaturization of the overall size of connector assemblies, requiring both wire-end connectors and board-end connectors to be miniaturized. This often results in insufficient friction between the wire-end connector and the board-end connector due to insufficient contact area. Consequently, when subjected to external impact, the wire-end connector can easily detach from the board-end connector, affecting the normal operation of the electronic product and even causing damage.

[0004] In view of this, how to solve the problem that when miniaturized connector assemblies are subjected to external impacts on electronic products, the wire end connectors easily detach from the board end connectors they are mating with, is an urgent issue for those in the relevant technical field. [Summary of the Invention]

The board end connector enters the board end core mating space and mates with the board end terminal mating structure. The board end sliding cover sliding guide structure can abut against the board end core open mating channel barrier at the board end core slide groove open mating channel end, so as to prevent the board end sliding cover sliding guide structure from leaving the board end core slide groove by the board end core open mating channel barrier. And when the board end sliding cover slides to the board end sliding cover closed mating channel position, the board end sliding cover system enters the board end core mating channel, thereby preventing the wire end connector from entering and exiting the board end core mating space through the board end core mating channel.

The board-end core interference guiding structure and the board-end core mating interference structure are located in the board-end core mating channel. When the wire-end connector is mated with the board-end terminal mating structure, the board-end core interference guiding structure guides the board-end core mating interference structure to interfere with the wire-end connector, and the interference causes the wire-end connector to leave the board-end core mating space through the board-end core mating channel.

The different positions of the plurality of wire end terminal mating structures allow the conductive wire terminal to connect with the board end terminal mating structure at multiple positions.

[0014] Preferably, in the wire end connector of this application, the wire end insulating core can be embedded in the board end insulating core, so that the sliding guide structure of the wire end core is lower than the board end sliding cover, thereby avoiding the wire end insulating core from interfering with the sliding of the board end sliding cover.

Implementation Method

[0045] The following describes the technical content of this application through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application.

[0046] The above and other aspects, features and other advantages of this application will be more clearly understood from the following description of embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.

[0047] This application provides a connector assembly and its board-end connector and wire-end connector. The wire-end connector can be mated to the board-end connector, and the board-end connector has a board-end sliding cover. The board-end sliding cover can prevent the wire-end connector from detaching from the board-end connector. In this way, the wire-end connector can be effectively prevented from easily detaching from the mated board-end connector when the miniaturized connector assembly is subjected to external impact during use on electronic products.

[0048] For the technical concept of this application, please refer to the disclosure of Figures 1 to 23.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 23, a connector assembly 1 is provided, which includes a wire-end connector 11 and a board-end connector 12. The wire-end connector 11 can be coupled to a conductive wire 3, and the board-end connector 12 can be coupled to a conductive plate 2. In the above embodiments, the wire-end connector 11 can be mated to the board-end connector 12 to transmit electrical signals or power signals, so that the conductive wire 3 and the conductive plate 2 are electrically connected.

[0050] The wire connector 11 includes: a wire terminal conductive terminal 111 and a wire terminal insulating core 112. The wire terminal conductive terminal 111 has a plurality of wire terminal mating structures 1111, a wire terminal assembly structure 1112 and a wire terminal bonding structure 1113.

[0051] It should be noted that the wire end terminal bonding structure 1113 can be selected as a wire clamping bonding structure to provide electrical bonding of the conductive wire 3, so that the wire end conductive terminal 111 is electrically connected to the conductive wire 3.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the two sides of the wire end insulating core 112 can be defined as the wire end core plate side S1 and the wire end core sliding cover side S2, respectively. The wire end insulating core 112 has a wire end core docking guide structure 1121, a wire end core docking channel 1122, a wire end core docking space 1123, a wire end core assembly structure 1124, a wire end core wiring space 1125, a wire end core sliding guide structure 1126, a wire end core interference guide structure 1127, and a wire end core docking interference structure 1128.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the wire end core bonding space 1125, the wire end core docking guide structure 1121, the wire end core docking channel 1122, the wire end core docking space 1123, and the wire end core sliding guide structure 1126 are respectively located on the wire end core plate end side S1; the wire end core sliding guide structure 1126 is located on the wire end core sliding cover side S2. In this way, the height dimension of the wire end insulating core 112 can be reduced. In addition, the wire end core docking channel 1122 extends to the wire end core docking space 1123, that is, the wire end core docking channel 1122 is connected to the wire end core docking space 1123.

[0054] Optionally, the wire end glue core interference guiding structure 1127 and the wire end glue core docking interference structure 1128 can be connected to form a hook-shaped structure.

[0055] Furthermore, the wire end terminal assembly structure 1112 can be matched with the wire end core assembly structure 1124 to assemble the wire end conductive terminal 111 on the wire end insulating core 112, so that the wire end terminal bonding structure 1113 is located in the wire end core bonding space 1125, and the plurality of wire end terminal mating structures 1111 are located in the wire end core mating space 1123.

[0056] The board-end connector 12 includes: a board-end conductive terminal 121, a board-end insulating core 122, and a board-end sliding cover 123. The board-end conductive terminal 121 has a board-end terminal mating structure 1211, which can be selected as a guillotine structure. The board-end insulating core 122 has a board-end core mating guide structure 1221, a board-end core mating channel 1222, a board-end core mating space 1223, a board-end core sliding groove 1224, a board-end core open mating channel barrier 1225 and a board-end core closed mating channel barrier 1226, a board-end core interference guide structure 1227, a board-end core mating interference structure 1228, a board-end core open mating channel positioning structure 12291, and a board-end core closed mating channel positioning structure 12292.

[0057] In the embodiments shown in Figures 13 to 15, 19, and 22 to 23, the plate-end glue core interference guiding structure 1227 and the plate-end glue core docking interference structure 1228 are located in the plate-end glue core docking channel 1222. Optionally, the plate-end glue core interference guiding structure 1227 and the plate-end glue core docking interference structure 1228 can be connected to form a hook-shaped structure.

[0058] It should be noted that the insulating core 122 at the plate end can be connected to the conductive terminal 121 at the plate end, so that the terminal mating structure 1211 at the plate end is located in the mating space 1223 of the core. The two ends of the core sliding groove 1224 at the plate end can be defined as an open mating channel end E1 and a closed mating channel end E2 at the plate end; wherein, the open mating channel barrier 1225 of the core is adjacent to the open mating channel end E1, and the closed mating channel barrier 1226 of the core is adjacent to the closed mating channel end E2. The mating channel 1222 of the core extends to the mating space 1223, that is, the mating channel 1222 of the core connects to the mating space 1223.

[0059] The plate end sliding cover 123 has a plate end sliding cover body 1231, a plate end sliding cover sliding guide structure 1232, a plate end sliding cover sliding guide spring arm 1233 and a plate end sliding cover positioning structure 1234. The plate end sliding cover sliding guide spring arm 1233 is connected to the plate end sliding cover sliding guide structure 1232. It should be noted that the sliding guide arm 1233 of the plate end cover is elastically deformable, allowing the sliding guide structure 1232 of the plate end cover to enter the plate end rubber core groove 1224. The sliding guide structure 1232 of the plate end cover can be guided by the plate end rubber core groove 1224 to slide to the open docking channel end E1 or the closed docking channel end E2 of the plate end rubber core groove, so that the plate end cover 1231 can slide relative to the plate end insulating rubber core 122 to a plate end cover open docking channel position P1 or a plate end cover closed docking channel position P2.

[0060] In addition, for the sliding cover 1231 of the plate end, the sliding guide structure 1126 of the wire end rubber core can guide the sliding cover 1231 of the plate end relative to the insulating rubber core 122 of the plate end to slide. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2, 7 to 8, 13 to 14, 16 to 17, and 19 to 21, the wire end insulating core 112 has a wire end insulating core sliding surface F, which is located on the wire end insulating core sliding cover side S2. The wire end insulating core sliding guide structure 1126 is located on the wire end insulating core sliding surface F. Therefore, the wire end insulating core 112 can be embedded in the board end insulating core 122, so that the wire end insulating core mating guide structure 1121 (or the wire end insulating core 112) is lower than the board end sliding cover 1231, thereby avoiding the wire end insulating core 112 interfering with the sliding of the board end sliding cover 1231. In this way, the overall height of the connector assembly 1 can be reduced, which helps to miniaturize the connector assembly 1.

[0061] In the above embodiment, when the board end sliding cover 1231 slides to the board end sliding cover open docking channel position P1, the board end sliding cover 1231 leaves the board end glue core docking channel 1222 to open the board end glue core docking channel 1222, so that the board end glue core docking guide structure 1221 can guide the wire end connector 11 (or the wire end insulating glue core 112) through the board end glue core docking channel 1222 into the board end glue core docking space 1223, and so that the wire end glue core docking guide structure 1121 can guide the board end terminal docking structure 1211 through the wire end glue core docking channel 1122 into the board end glue core docking space 1223 to dock with the plurality of wire end terminal docking structures 1111 respectively.

[0062] In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIG18, the positions of the plurality of line end terminal docking structures 1111 are different, so that the line end conductive terminal 111 can dock with the plate end terminal docking structure 1211 at multiple positions, allowing the line end conductive terminal 111 to contact the plate end conductive terminal 121 at multiple points, thereby ensuring the electrical connection between the line end conductive terminal 111 and the plate end conductive terminal 121.

[0063] It should be noted that when the board end terminal docking structure 1211 docks with the plurality of wire end terminal docking structures 1111 respectively, the wire end glue core interference guiding structure 1127 guides the wire end glue core docking interference structure 1128 to interfere with the board end insulating glue core 122, and the interference of the wire end insulating glue core 112 leaves the board end glue core docking space 1223 through the board end glue core docking channel 1222. In this way, the wire end connector 11 can be prevented from easily detaching from the board end insulating glue core 122, thereby ensuring the docking relationship between the board end terminal docking structure 1211 and the plurality of wire end terminal docking structures 1111.

[0064] Accordingly, when the wire connector 11 is connected to the board terminal connection structure 1211, the board core interference guiding structure 1227 guides the board core connection interference structure 1228 to interfere with the wire connector 11, and the wire connector 11 is interfered with to leave the board core connection space 1223 through the board core connection channel 1222. In this way, the wire connector 11 can be prevented from easily detaching from the board core insulation core 122, thereby ensuring the connection relationship between the wire connector 11 and the board terminal connection structure 1211.

[0065] In the above embodiment, when the plate end sliding cover 1231 slides to the plate end sliding cover open docking channel position P1, the plate end sliding cover sliding guide structure 1232 can abut against the plate end rubber core open docking channel baffle 1225 at the plate end rubber core open docking channel end E1, so that the plate end sliding cover sliding guide structure 1232 can be stopped from leaving the plate end rubber core slide groove 1224 by the plate end rubber core open docking channel baffle 1225. In this way, the plate end sliding cover 123 can be prevented from easily detaching from the plate end insulating rubber core 122.

[0066] In the embodiment shown in FIG8, the plate end sliding cover positioning structure 1234 is a raised structure that can be matched with the plate end glue core open docking channel positioning structure 12291 to position the plate end sliding cover 1231 at the plate end sliding cover open docking channel position P1. In this way, the plate end sliding cover 1231 can be effectively prevented from easily leaving the plate end sliding cover open docking channel position P1. However, it is not limited to the above, and the plate end sliding cover positioning structure 1234 can be selected to match the plate end glue core open docking channel positioning structure 12291 with other forms of structures.

[0067] In the above embodiment, when the board end sliding cover 1231 slides to the board end sliding cover closed docking channel position P2, the board end sliding cover 1231 enters the board end glue core docking channel 1222. At this time, the board end sliding cover 1231 can prevent the wire end connector 11 from entering or exiting the board end glue core docking space 1223 through the board end glue core docking channel 1222, so as to avoid the wire end connector 11 from easily detaching from the board end insulating glue core 122. In this way, this application can effectively prevent the wire end connector from easily detaching from the docked board end connector when the miniaturized connector assembly is subjected to external force impact on electronic products, so that the signal transmission effect of the connector assembly meets expectations.

[0068] In the embodiment shown in FIG10, the plate end sliding cover positioning structure 1234 can be matched with the plate end rubber core closing docking channel positioning structure 12292 to position the plate end sliding cover 1231 at the plate end sliding cover closing docking channel position P2. In this way, the plate end sliding cover 1231 can be effectively prevented from easily leaving the plate end sliding cover closing docking channel position P2. In addition, the plate end sliding cover positioning structure 1234 can abut against the wire end connector 11 (or the wire end insulating rubber core 112) and prevent the wire end connector 11 (or the wire end insulating rubber core 112) from leaving the plate end rubber core docking space 1223 through the plate end rubber core docking channel 1222. In this way, the wire end connector 11 can be prevented from easily detaching from the plate end insulating rubber core 122.

[0069] In the above embodiment, when the plate end sliding cover 1231 slides to the plate end sliding cover closing docking channel position P2, the plate end sliding cover 123 can abut against the plate end rubber core closing docking channel baffle 1226 at the plate end rubber core sliding groove closing docking channel end E2, so that the plate end sliding cover sliding guide structure 1232 can be stopped from leaving the plate end rubber core sliding groove 1224 by the plate end rubber core closing docking channel baffle 1226. In this way, the plate end sliding cover 123 can be prevented from easily detaching from the plate end insulating rubber core 122.

[0070] It should be noted that the board end slide cover 123 may be made of metal material, which can provide shielding for the mating of the wire end connector 11 and the board end connector 12, so that the signal transmission effect of the connector assembly 1 meets expectations.

[0071] It should be noted that the connector assembly and its board-end connector and wire-end connector provided in this application may omit some of the above-mentioned features. For example, in this application, the board-end connector includes: a board-end conductive terminal, a board-end insulating core, and a board-end sliding cover. The board-end conductive terminal has a board-end terminal mating structure. The board-end insulating core has a board-end core mating guide structure, a board-end core mating channel, a board-end core mating space, a board-end core groove, and a board-end core open mating channel retainer. The board-end insulating core can engage with the board-end conductive terminal, so that the board-end terminal mating structure is located in the board-end core mating space; the two ends of the board-end core groove are respectively the board-end core groove open mating channel end and the board-end core groove closed mating channel end; the board-end core open mating channel retainer is adjacent to the board-end core groove open mating channel end; and the board-end core mating channel extends to the board-end core mating space. The plate-end sliding cover system comprises a plate-end sliding cover body and a plate-end sliding cover sliding guide structure. The plate-end sliding cover sliding guide structure can enter the plate-end rubber core groove, allowing it to slide to either the open or closed docking channel end of the groove. This enables the plate-end sliding cover body to slide relative to the plate-end insulating rubber core to either the open or closed docking channel position. When the plate-end sliding cover body slides to the open docking channel position, it leaves the plate-end rubber core docking channel, thus opening the docking channel. The board-end core mating guide structure guides the wire connector through the board-end core mating channel into the board-end core mating space to mate with the board-end terminal mating structure. The board-end sliding cover guide structure abuts against the board-end core open mating channel barrier at the open mating channel end of the board-end core slide groove, thereby preventing the board-end sliding cover guide structure from leaving the board-end core slide groove. When the board-end sliding cover slides to the board-end sliding cover closed mating channel position, the board-end sliding cover system enters the board-end core mating channel, preventing the wire connector from entering or exiting the board-end core mating space through the board-end core mating channel.

[0072] In addition, in this application, the wire end connector includes: a wire end insulating core and a wire end conductive terminal. The two sides of the wire end insulating core are the wire end core plate end side and the wire end core sliding cover side, respectively; and the wire end insulating core has a wire end core mating guide structure, a wire end core mating channel, a wire end core mating space, a wire end core assembly structure, a wire end core wiring space, and a wire end core sliding guide structure, wherein the wire end core wiring space, the wire end core mating guide structure, the wire end core mating channel, the wire end core mating space, and the wire end core sliding guide structure are located on the wire end core plate end side, and the wire end core sliding guide structure is located on the wire end core sliding cover side; and the wire end core mating channel extends to the wire end core mating space.
