Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of a connector, and in particular to a connector that is connected by guiding and buckling. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, in order to adapt to the situation of narrow assembly space, the size of the connector needs to be reduced; however, during the process of assembling the miniaturized connector, the aforementioned problem of falling off or damaging the terminal is more likely to occur.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a connector to solve the defects caused by the traditional connector. [Summary of the invention]

[0004] The first object of the present invention is to provide a connector, providing a male end and a female end with a guide member and a buckle member, so as to achieve the purpose of easy installation and stable connection.

[0005] The second objective of the present invention is that according to the aforementioned connector, the male end and the female end are guided by a guide member so that the buckling member of the male end and the buckling member of the female end can be easily aligned and buckled.

[0006] The third objective of the present invention is that according to the aforementioned connector, the male end is inserted into the female end to present an angle, and by reducing the angle of the angle, the buckling piece of the male end is buckled with the buckling piece of the female end.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned and other purposes, the present invention provides a connector for connecting a circuit board. The connector includes a female end and a male end. The female end provides a first body combined with a first electrical terminal. In addition, a retaining wall portion extends from both ends of the first body. The first body forms a first guide member, a first snap-fit ​​member and a third snap-fit ​​member. The first guide member is formed at the intersection of the first body and the retaining wall portion. The first snap-fit ​​member is formed at the first body and the third snap-fit ​​member is formed in the retaining wall portion. The male end provides a second body combined with a second electrical terminal. An elastic portion extends from both ends of the second body. The second body forms a second guide member, a second snap-fit ​​member and a fourth snap-fit ​​member. The second guide member is formed at the intersection of the second body and the elastic portion. The second snap-fit ​​member is formed at the second body and the fourth snap-fit ​​member is formed in the elastic portion. When the first guide member is coupled to the second guide member, the male end and the female end present an angle. By reducing the angle of the angle, the first buckle member is buckled with the second buckle member and the third buckle member is buckled with the fourth buckle member in sequence until the elastic part is buckled on the retaining wall part.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the connector provided by the present invention can be easily installed during the assembly process of the male end and the female end, and can also prevent the male end and the female end from being disconnected due to external force. The present invention provides that the male end is obliquely inserted into the female end at an angle.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a connector according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the connector 10 can be used to connect a circuit board.

[0035] The connector 10 includes a female end 20 and a male end 30. Figure 1 In the figure, the female end 20 is shown at the top and the male end 30 is shown at the bottom.

[0036] exist Figure 1 In the figure above, the female end 20 provides a first body 22, and the first body 22 has an opening to assemble the first terminal 24. Here, the female end 20 is described by taking a rectangular parallelepiped as an example. In other embodiments, the female end 20 can be other shapes. A retaining wall portion 222 is extended from each end of the first body 22. The first body 22 forms a first guide member 226, a first buckle member 224 and a third buckle member 228. The first guide member 226 is formed at the intersection of the first body 22 and the retaining wall portion 222. The first buckle member 224 is formed on the first body 22 and the third buckle member 228 is formed on the retaining wall portion 222.

[0037] exist Figure 1 In the figure below, the male end 30 provides a second body 32, and the second body 32 has an opening for assembling a second terminal 34. Here, the male end 30 is described by taking a rectangular parallelepiped as an example. In other embodiments, the male end 30 can be other shapes. An elastic portion 326 extends from both ends of the second body 32. The second body 32 forms a second guide member 322, a second buckle member 324 and a fourth buckle member 328.

[0038] The second guide member 322 is formed at the intersection of the second body 32 and the elastic portion 326. The second buckle member 324 is formed on the second body 32 and the fourth buckle member is formed on the elastic portion. When the first guide member 226 is coupled to the second guide member 322, the male end 30 and the female end 20 present an angle (for example, the angle range is between 25 degrees and 60 degrees), which can be referred to Figure 2 Further, by reducing the angle, the first fastening member 224 is fastened with the second fastening member 324 and the third fastening member 228 is fastened with the fourth fastening member 328 in sequence until the elastic portion 326 is fastened to the retaining wall portion 222. Figure 2 As shown in the figure below. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the female end 20 further includes locking members 26 disposed at two ends of the first body 22 for fixing the female end 20 to a circuit board (not shown).

[0039] Here, the first guide 226 is a cylinder and the second guide 322 is a circular groove, the size of the circular groove can be used to accommodate the cylinder, and the number of the first guide 226 is the same as the number of the second guide 322, both of which are 2, and the first guide 226 is symmetrically formed between the first body 22 and the retaining wall 222, and the second guide 322 is symmetrically formed on both sides of the second body 32; or in another embodiment, the first guide 226 can also be a circular groove, so that the second guide 322 is also changed to a cylinder. Among them, the first guide 226 is set corresponding to the second guide 322.

[0040] Here, the first fastening member 224 is an opening formed in the first body 22 and the second fastening member 324 is a first protrusion formed in the second body, and the number of the first fastening members 224 is the same as the number of the second fastening members 324, both of which are 2, and are symmetrically and separately formed in the first body 22 and the second body 32; or in another embodiment, the first guide member 226 can also be a first protrusion, so that the second guide member 322 is also changed to an opening. The opening is set corresponding to the first protrusion.

[0041] Here, the third fastening member 228 is a stopper formed on the retaining wall portion 222 and the fourth fastening member 328 is a second protrusion formed on the elastic portion 326, and the number of the third fastening members 228 is the same as the number of the fourth fastening members 328, both of which are 2, and are symmetrically and separately formed on the retaining wall portion 222 and the second body 32; or in another embodiment, the third fastening member 228 can also be a second protrusion formed on the retaining wall portion 222 and the fourth fastening member 328 can be a stopper formed on the elastic portion 326. The stopper is arranged corresponding to the second protrusion. It is worth noting that, referring to the middle figure of Figure 3, the blocking block (i.e., the third fastening member 228) has a first inclined surface 2262 and the second protrusion (i.e., the fourth fastening member 328) has a second inclined surface 3282. During the fastening process between the third fastening member 228 and the fourth fastening member 328, the elastic portion 326 is subjected to compression deformation, and the second inclined surface 3282 moves along the first inclined surface 2262 until the second inclined surface 3282 is separated from the first inclined surface 2262, so that the elastic portion 326 is released from the compression deformation and then snapped into the retaining wall portion 222.

[0042] For example, refer to Figure 2 In the upper figure, the male end 30 is inserted into the female end 20 at a certain angle, so that the first guide member 226 is coupled to the second guide member 322. Since a cylinder and a circular groove are used, after the cylinder is coupled to the circular groove, the male end 30 can rotate against the female end 20. The combination method can be referred to in Figure 3 As shown in the figure above. Then, after the male end 30 is inserted into the female end 20, the angle between the male end 30 and the female end 20 is changed, for example, the angle is reduced, so that the male end 30 gradually becomes parallel to the setting direction of the female end 20, that is, it is rotated downward. When the angle between the male end 30 and the female end 20 is reduced to a certain angle, the second fastening member 324 and the first fastening member 224 are first fastened, that is, the second fastening member 324 is inserted into the first fastening member 224, and refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, when the angle between the male end 30 and the female end 20 is reduced to close to 0 degrees or 0 degrees, the elastic portion 326 slides into the retaining wall portion 222, so that the elastic portion 326 restores the elastic force and the second protrusion is locked in the retaining block, and refer to Figure 3 Finally, the male end 30 is limited to the female end 20, and ... Figure 2 As shown in the figure below.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention are disclosed as described above, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the relevant art may make slight changes to the shapes, structures, features, methods and quantities described in the claims of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the claims attached to this specification.
