Description

Technical Field

[0001] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a connector housing, and more particularly, to a shielding sheet for the connector housing and a connector housing having the shielding sheet. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the shielding sheet around the connector housing consists of two layers of springs, one inside and one outside. These are connected by a U-shaped, bent structure. Furthermore, the tail of each claw on the inner spring sheet is also designed as a U-shaped hook structure. These U-shaped structures at the front and rear ends connect and secure the shielding sheet to the connector housing.

[0003] The shielding plates on the connector housing's periphery are arranged closely together, and both ends are U-shaped bends, leaving insufficient space for automated assembly. Consequently, in the existing production process, operators typically manually assemble the double-layered spring plates onto the connector housing, then use a mechanical jig to bend each side of the shielding plates to secure them to the connector housing. This results in very low production efficiency. Furthermore, because the inner and outer spring plates are so thin (typically available in various sizes, such as 0.05mm, 0.06mm, and 0.08mm), the shielding plates can easily deform during manual assembly.

[0041] The technical solution of the present disclosure is further described in detail below through examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the specification, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar components. The following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the overall inventive concept of the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0042] In addition, in the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments can be practiced without these specific details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are shown in diagrammatic form to simplify the accompanying drawings.

[0043] According to the overall inventive concept of the present disclosure, a connector housing comprises: a housing body provided with a socket suitable for receiving an external electronic module inserted from an insertion direction, and a plurality of mounting through holes are provided on the outer wall of the housing body; and a shielding sheet comprising a first elastic sheet provided on the inner side of the housing body, a second elastic sheet on the outer side, and a first bending portion connected between the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet and suitable for clamping on the edge of the socket; overlapping portions are provided on both sides of the free end of the first elastic sheet and / or the second elastic sheet parallel to the insertion direction, and can be slidably coupled to the mounting through holes in the insertion direction.

[0044] Figure 1 is a perspective schematic diagram showing a connector housing according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 show Figure 1 An enlarged partial view of the connector housing is shown; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A top view of the connector housing is shown; Figure 4 Shows the image taken along line AA Figure 3 a cross-sectional view of the connector housing shown; Figure 5 show Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the overlapping portion and support arm of the connector housing shown.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1-5 As shown, the connector housing comprises a generally rectangular housing body 1 and a shielding plate 10. The housing body 1 is provided with a socket 11 adapted to receive an external electronic module inserted from an insertion direction. Examples of electronic modules include electronic components that may generate heat during operation, such as electrical connectors, electronic packaging structures for electrical devices such as CPUs and amplifiers, photoelectric converters, and disk readers.

[0046] In one embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes 12 are provided on the outer wall of the housing body 1. The shielding sheet 10 is made of a single piece of metal material such as a copper sheet and includes a first elastic sheet 101 provided on the inner side of the housing body 1, a second elastic sheet 102 provided on the outer side, and a first bent portion 103 connected between the first elastic sheet 101 and the second elastic sheet 102 and adapted to be clamped on the edge of the socket 11. The free end of the first elastic sheet 101 ( Figure 4 The upper end of the first elastic piece 101 is provided with overlapping portions 1011 on both sides parallel to the insertion direction, and is slidably engaged with the mounting hole 12 in the insertion direction. The sliding engagement between the free end of the first elastic piece 101 and the mounting hole 12 can be achieved by extending the overlapping portions 1011 of the first elastic piece 101 through the mounting hole 12 to the outside of the housing body 1.

[0047] In another embodiment, a plurality of mounting through holes 12 are provided on the outer wall of the shell body 1. The shielding sheet 10 is made of a single sheet of metal material such as a copper sheet and includes a first elastic sheet 101 provided on the inner side of the shell body 1, a second elastic sheet 102 on the outer side, and a first bent portion 103 connected between the first elastic sheet 101 and the second elastic sheet 102 and adapted to be clamped on the edge of the socket 11. The free end of the second elastic sheet 102 is provided with overlapping portions 1011 on both sides parallel to the insertion direction, and is slidably coupled to the mounting through hole 12 in the insertion direction. The sliding coupling between the free end of the second elastic sheet 102 and the mounting through hole 12 can be achieved by utilizing a structure in which the overlapping portion 1011 of the second elastic sheet 102 extends through the mounting through hole 12 to the inner side of the shell body 1.

[0048] In another embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes 12 are provided on the outer wall of the housing body 1. The shielding sheet 10 is made of a single sheet of metal material, such as a copper sheet, and includes a first elastic sheet 101 disposed on the inner side of the housing body 1, a second elastic sheet 102 disposed on the outer side, and a first bent portion 103 connected between the first elastic sheet 101 and the second elastic sheet 102 and adapted to be clamped on the edge of the socket 11. The free ends of the first elastic sheet 101 and the second elastic sheet 102 are each provided with overlapping portions 1011 on both sides parallel to the insertion direction, and the free ends of the first elastic sheet 101 and the second elastic sheet 102 are both slidably coupled to the mounting holes 12 in the insertion direction. The sliding connection between the free end of the first spring piece 101 and the mounting through hole 12 can be achieved by utilizing the structure in which the overlapping portion 1011 of the first spring piece 101 extends to the outside of the shell body 1 through the mounting through hole 12, and the sliding connection between the free end of the second spring piece 102 and the mounting through hole 12 can be achieved by utilizing the structure in which the overlapping portion 1011 of the second spring piece 102 extends to the inside of the shell body 1 through the mounting through hole 12.

[0049] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figure 5, in an exemplary embodiment, a support arm 121 extending in the insertion direction is provided in the mounting through hole 12, and at least one of the two ends of the support arm 121 is integrally connected to at least one of the two opposite edges of the mounting through hole 12 in the insertion direction. The length of the support arm 12 is equal to or less than the length of the mounting through hole 12. The width of the support arm 12 is less than the width of the mounting through hole 12. The mounting through hole 12 can be formed as a rectangular through hole, and the support arm 12 is formed as a rectangular plate. The center line of the support arm 12 coincides with the center line of the mounting through hole 12 to form a symmetrical structure, so that the distance between the two sides of the support arm 12 parallel to the insertion direction and the edges of the mounting through hole 12 parallel to the insertion direction are equal. By providing the support arm 12, the overlap portion 1011 can be more conveniently and reliably slidably combined with the mounting through hole 12.

[0050] See also Figure 2 、 3, 4 and 5, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the overlapping portion 1011 is bent from the inner side of the support arm 121 to the outer side of the support arm 121, so that the free end of the first elastic piece 101 can be slidably coupled to the support arm 121. The overlapping portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the free end of the first elastic piece 101. Each overlapping portion 1011 is formed into a roughly L-shaped structure, and the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 extend toward each other relative to the free end. More specifically, the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 on both sides together form a roughly ┌┐-shaped structure. In this way, the overlapping portions 1011 located on both sides of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 are clasped on the support arm 121, and the distance between the inner side of the overlapping portion 1011 and the inner side of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 is greater than the thickness of the support arm 121, so that the overlapping portion 1011 is slidably coupled to the support arm 121. The overlapping portion 1011 of this structure ensures that the shielding sheet 10 can slide forward and backward in the insertion direction within a limited range, and also prevents the shielding sheet 10 from sliding in the left and right directions ( Figure 3 In this way, during processing, the mold can adjust the relative position of the shielding sheet 10 and the shell body 1 as needed while ensuring assembly accuracy.

[0051] Figure 6 is a perspective schematic diagram showing a connector housing according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 7 show Figure 6 An enlarged partial view of the connector housing is shown; Figure 8 yes Figure 6 A top view of the connector housing is shown; Figure 9 Shows the intersection along line BB Figure 8 a cross-sectional view of the connector housing shown; Figure 10 show Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the overlapping portion and support arm of the connector housing shown.

[0052] See also Figure 6-11According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the overlapping portion 1011 bends from the inner side of the support arm 121 to the outer side of the two side edges of the mounting hole 12 parallel to the insertion direction, allowing the free end of the first elastic piece 101 to slidably engage with the side edges. In this structure, the width of the support arm 12 is no greater than the width of the first elastic piece 101 to avoid unnecessary bending of the overlapping portion 1011. The overlapping portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the free end of the first elastic piece 101. Each overlapping portion 1011 is formed into a generally L-shaped structure, and the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 extend in directions away from each other. More specifically, the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 on both sides together form a generally ┐┌-shaped structure, ensuring that the overlapping portions 1011 smoothly slide and overlap the two side edges of the mounting hole 12 parallel to the insertion direction, thereby ensuring a relatively balanced force on the first elastic piece 101.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 2 、 4 , 7 and 9, the support arm 121 extends from the edge of the mounting hole 12 that is close to the socket 11 toward the edge that is away from the socket 11, and a gap 122 is defined between the free end of the support arm 121 and the edge of the mounting hole 12 that is away from the socket 11. Reserving the gap 122 provides a larger operating space for the mold during automated assembly, thereby reducing the difficulty of mold operation.

[0054] Based on the above structure, Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figures 7 and 9, in order to further improve the connection reliability and positioning accuracy between the first elastic piece 101 and the housing body 1 during processing, in one embodiment, an auxiliary overlapping portion 1012 is provided at the edge of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 perpendicular to the insertion direction. The auxiliary overlapping portion 1012 is bent from the inner side of the support arm 121 through the gap 122 to the outer side of the support arm 121. The auxiliary overlapping portion 1012 can be formed into an arc-shaped structure.

[0055] Furthermore, the length of the auxiliary overlapping portion 1012 bent to the outside of the support arm 121 ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.15 mm. The auxiliary overlapping portion 1012 needs to have an appropriate length. On the one hand, it needs to be long enough to overlap the support arm 121, and on the other hand, it needs to be not too long to avoid interference with the overlapping portion 1011.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the mounting through hole 12 is formed at a position of the shell body 1 away from the free end of the second elastic piece 102 relative to the socket 11, so that the overlapping portion 1011 of the first elastic piece 101 extending from the mounting through hole 12 of the shell body 1 will not hinder the sliding of the free end of the second elastic piece 102 in the insertion direction.

[0057] like Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, a first elastic contact portion 1013 is provided on the first elastic piece 101 between the first bent portion 103 and the free end of the first elastic piece 101, protruding away from the inner wall of the housing body 1; and a second elastic contact portion 1021 is provided on the second elastic piece 102 between the first bent portion 103 and the free end of the second elastic piece 102, protruding away from the outer wall of the housing body 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the first elastic contact portion 1013 and the second elastic contact portion 1021 are arc-shaped and protrude in the upward and downward directions, respectively.

[0058] See also Figure 4 and Figure 9 The free end of the second elastic piece 102 is configured as a third elastic contact portion 1022 that protrudes toward the outer wall of the housing body 1. The third elastic contact portion 1022 can be an arc-shaped structure. The third elastic contact portion 1022 can serve as a guide during the installation of the shielding sheet 10 on the housing body 1, and can also increase the contact points and contact area between the magnetic shielding sheet 10 and the housing body 1.

[0059] In the aforementioned embodiment, the shielding sheet 10 is integrally made of a single piece of material through a mechanical processing process such as stamping, bending, shearing, etc.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the corners of the shell body 1 are provided with process holes 13 extending in the insertion direction. The process holes 13 can be used to accommodate a portion of the edge of two adjacent spring fragments of the first spring fragment 101 located at the corners. During the bending process of the shell body 1, the process holes 13 can also play the role of reducing the force required for bending. A plurality of process holes 13 are provided at each corner of the shell body 1. Figure 2 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, three process holes 13 are provided at each corner of the housing body 1 .

[0061] According to an embodiment of one aspect of the present disclosure, a shielding sheet is further provided, comprising a first elastic sheet 101 and a second elastic sheet 102, wherein a first bending portion 103 is provided between the first elastic sheet 101 and the second elastic sheet 102, and the first bending portion 103 is adapted to be clamped on the edge of the socket 11 of the connector housing; overlapping portions 1011 are provided on both sides of the free ends of the first elastic sheet 101 and / or the second elastic sheet 102 parallel to the length direction of the first elastic sheet 101, and are slidably coupled to the mounting through hole 12 in the length direction of the first elastic sheet 101. Figure 2 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the shielding sheet is provided with a plurality of first elastic pieces 101 and a corresponding plurality of second elastic pieces 102, so that the shielding sheet has a sufficient contact area with the housing body 1, and the structure and clamping are more flexible. In addition, the overlapping portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the free ends of the first elastic pieces 101.

[0062] In one embodiment, only the free ends of the first elastic piece 101 and the second elastic piece 102 are provided with overlapping portions 1011 on both sides parallel to the length direction of the first elastic piece 101, and are slidably coupled to the mounting through-hole 12 in the length direction of the first elastic piece 101. The sliding engagement of the first elastic piece 101 and the second elastic piece 102 with the mounting through-hole 12 can be achieved by the structure in which the overlapping portions 1011 of the first elastic piece 101 and the second elastic piece 102 extend from one side of the housing body 1 to the other side of the housing body 1 through the mounting through-hole 12 of the housing body 1.

[0063] In another embodiment, only the two sides of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 parallel to the length direction of the first elastic piece 101 are provided with overlapping portions 1011, and the overlapping portions 1011 are slidably coupled to the mounting through-hole 12 in the length direction of the first elastic piece 101. The sliding engagement between the first elastic piece 101 and the mounting through-hole 12 can be achieved by the overlapping portions 1011 of the first elastic piece 101 extending from the inner side of the housing body 1 to the outer side of the housing body 1 through the mounting through-hole 12 of the housing body 1.

[0064] In another embodiment, only the overlapping portions 1011 are provided on both sides of the free end of the second elastic piece 102 parallel to the length direction of the first elastic piece 101, and the second elastic piece 102 is slidably coupled to the mounting hole 12 in the length direction of the first elastic piece 101. The sliding engagement between the second elastic piece 102 and the mounting hole 12 can be achieved by extending the overlapping portions 1011 of the second elastic piece 102 from the outside of the housing body 1 to the inside of the housing body 1 through the mounting hole 12 of the housing body 1.

[0065] See also Figure 2 、3 and 5, the overlapping portions 1011 on both sides of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 are relatively bent in the width direction of the first elastic piece 101, roughly forming a ┌┐ shape. In one embodiment, the overlapping portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the free end of the first elastic piece 101, and each overlapping portion 1011 is formed into a roughly L-shaped structure, and the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 extend toward each other relative to the free end. More specifically, the overlapping portions 1011 symmetrical on both sides together form a roughly ┌┐-shaped structure. The first elastic piece 101 of this structure and the overlapping portions 1011 on both sides of its free end form an open ring structure, which can be more securely connected to the shell body 1.

[0066] like Figure 7 、 8 As shown in FIG10 , the overlapping portions 1011 on either side of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 are bent away from each other in the width direction of the first elastic piece 101, generally forming a ┐┌ shape. In one embodiment, the overlapping portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the free end of the first elastic piece 101. Each overlapping portion 1011 is formed into a generally L-shaped structure, and the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 extend in directions away from each other. More specifically, the symmetrical overlapping portions 1011 on both sides together form a generally ┐┌-shaped structure.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, an auxiliary overlap portion 1012 is provided on the edge of the free end of the first elastic piece 101 parallel to the width direction of the first elastic piece 101. The auxiliary overlap portion 1012 is bent toward the socket 11 in the length direction of the first elastic piece 101. The auxiliary overlap portion 1012 can be formed into an arc structure.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, a first elastic contact portion 1013 is provided on the first elastic piece 101 between the first bending portion 103 and the free end of the first elastic piece 101; and a second elastic contact portion 1021 is provided on the second elastic piece 102 between the first bending portion 103 and the free end of the second elastic piece 102; the first elastic contact portion 1013 and the second elastic contact portion 1021 are both arc-shaped and protrude in opposite directions respectively.

[0069] See also Figure 4 and Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the free end of the second elastic piece 102 is configured as a third elastic contact portion 1022, which protrudes in opposite directions to the second elastic contact portion 1021. The third elastic contact portion 1022 may be an arc-shaped structure.

[0070] In the aforementioned embodiment, the shielding sheet 10 is integrally made of a single piece of material through a mechanical processing process such as stamping, bending, shearing, etc.

[0071] The above-mentioned various embodiments of the present disclosure propose a shielding sheet and a connector housing having the shielding sheet. Since the free end of the first spring sheet is provided with a lap portion, the lap portion can extend from the inner side to the outer side of the connector housing through the mounting through hole of the connector housing, and can be slidably coupled to the mounting through hole in the length direction of the first spring sheet.

[0072] Figure 11 Yes Display Figure 5 and Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the overlapping portion of the first elastic sheet before bending is shown. In the process of manufacturing the connector housing of an embodiment of the present disclosure, the overlapping portion 1011 of the first elastic sheet 101 can be Figure 11 In the state shown, the remaining unbent first spring piece 101 is placed on the unbent housing body 1, and Figure 11 The overlapping portion 1011 in this state passes through the mounting through-hole 12 from one side of the shell body 1 to the other side. On this basis, the overlapping portion 1011 is bent in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction by a mold so that the overlapping portion 1011 is slidably coupled to the mounting through-hole 12 in the insertion direction. Subsequently, the auxiliary overlapping portion 1012 is bent out by the mold and the first elastic contact portion 1013, the second elastic contact portion 1021 and the third elastic contact portion 1022 of the shielding sheet 10 and the process hole 13 of the shell body 1 are processed. After the shielding sheet 10 and the shell body 1 are processed, the two are synchronously bent in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction to produce the following. Figure 1 and Figure 6 The illustrated embodiment shows a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing body 1 and a shielding sheet 10 .
