Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of a connector, and in particular to a light source module connector used in a light bar. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, in the composition of a liquid crystal display panel, in addition to the liquid crystal layer, another important component is the light-emitting layer. The liquid crystal layer needs to pass through the light-emitting layer to display images.

[0003] The light-emitting layer in the prior art is composed of a plurality of groups of light-emitting diode modules, which are distributed under the liquid crystal layer, and the surface light source generated by the light-emitting diodes acts on the liquid crystal layer.

[0004] Multiple groups of LED modules are connected through bus lines. Since LCD panels have different sizes, LED modules need to be customized according to the size, which limits the circuit layout design. Furthermore, if the LED module is damaged, the entire group must be replaced, which is not only expensive but also difficult to replace.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a light source module connector to solve the deficiencies of the prior art. [Summary of the invention]

[0006] The first objective of the present invention is to provide a light source module connector, comprising a board end, a wire end and a wire. The wire end is combined with the wire to connect to the board end of the light source module to achieve the purpose of driving the light source module.

[0007] A second objective of the present invention is to determine which wire of the wire the conductive terminal is connected to by configuring the conductive terminal at the board end according to the light source module connector.

[0008] A third objective of the present invention is to expose the wire by removing the insulating layer of the wire according to the light source module connector, so as to determine which conductive terminal on the board end the wire is electrically connected to.

[0009] A fourth objective of the present invention is to provide a positioning post and a positioning hole according to a light source module connector, so as to ensure that after the positioning post is combined with the positioning hole, the wire can be positioned on the conductive terminal.

[0010] A fifth objective of the present invention is to provide a wire configuration adapter according to a light source module connector to connect the wires of the wire material, thereby driving the light source module.

[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned and other purposes, the present invention provides a light source module connector, which is applied to a light source module. The light source module connector includes a board end, a wire end and a wire. The board end forms a first conductive terminal and a first latch. The board end module can be set in the light source module so that one end of the first conductive terminal is electrically connected to the light source module. The wire end is combined with the board end. The wire end forms a accommodating space, an opening and a second latch. The first latch latches the second latch so that the wire end is fixed to the board end and the opening corresponds to the first conductive terminal. The wire is set in the accommodating space. The wire has an insulating layer, a first wire and a second wire. The insulating layer covers the first wire and the second wire, and the insulating layer is removed at a place of the wire corresponding to the opening to expose the first wire and the second wire. Among them, by configuring the position of the first conductive terminal at the board end, it is determined that the other end of the first conductive terminal passes through the opening to electrically contact one end of the first wire or the second wire.

[0012] To achieve the above-mentioned and other purposes, the present invention provides a light source module connector, which is applied to a light source module. The light source module connector includes a board end, a wire end and a wire material. The board end forms a first conductive terminal, a second conductive terminal and a first latch. The board end module can be set in the light source module so that one end of the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal are electrically connected to the light source module respectively. The wire end is combined with the board end. The wire end forms a accommodating space, an opening and a second latch. The first latch latches the second latch so that the wire end is fixed to the board end and the opening corresponds to the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal. The wire material is set in the accommodating space. The wire material has an insulating layer, a first wire and a second wire. The insulating layer covers the first wire and the second wire, and the insulating layer is removed at a place of the wire material corresponding to the opening of the first conductive terminal to expose the first wire. Wherein, according to the wire material removing the insulating layer to expose the first wire, it is determined whether the other end of the first conductive terminal passes through the opening to electrically contact the first wire or the other end of the second conductive terminal passes through the opening to contact the insulating layer to insulate the second wire.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the light source module connector of the present invention is used to connect the light source module through several aspects. The first aspect is to select which conductor to connect by changing the configuration position of the conductive terminal at the board end. Its advantage is that the insulation layer of a certain area of ​​the wire can be removed at one time. As long as the configuration of the conductive terminal is used, it can be determined which wire to connect; the second aspect is to select which conductive terminal to connect by changing the exposed position of the conductor of the wire. Its advantage is that the board end can use the same conductive terminal configuration. As long as the position of the exposed wire is changed, it can be determined which conductive terminal to connect; the third aspect is a combination of the above aspects.

[0014] The specific technology adopted by the present invention will be further described through the following embodiments and attached drawings.

[0043] In order to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through the following specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The description is as follows.

[0044] In the present invention, "a" or "an" is used to describe the units, elements and components described herein. This is only for the convenience of description and to provide a general meaning to the scope of the present invention. Therefore, unless it is obvious that it is otherwise intended, such description should be understood to include one, at least one, and the singular also includes the plural.

[0045] In the present invention, the terms "comprise", "include", "have", "contain" or any other similar terms are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a component, structure, article or device containing multiple elements is not limited to the elements listed herein, but may include other elements that are not explicitly listed but are generally inherent to the component, structure, article or device. In addition, unless expressly stated to the contrary, the term "or" refers to an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or".

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light source module connector of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the light source module connector 10 is applied to a light source module, for example, the light source module is a backlight layer of a liquid crystal display screen.

[0047] The light source module connector 10 includes a board end 12, a wire end 14 and a wire 16. In another embodiment, the light source module connector 10 may further include a cover 18 combined with the wire end 14 to cover the wire 16 in the accommodation space SP mentioned later.

[0048] For reference Figure 2 , is to illustrate the present invention Figure 1 A detailed schematic diagram of the board end. Figure 2In the embodiment, the board end 12 forms a first conductive terminal 122 and a first latch 124. The board end module 12 can be set in the light source module so that one end of the first conductive terminal 122 is electrically connected to the light source module for transmitting power or electronic signals. Here, the first conductive terminals 122 are illustrated as 12. The board end 12 only needs to retain the first conductive terminals 122 of the wires that need to be connected to the wire 16, and the unconnected parts are removed. The first latch 124 is formed on the periphery of the board end 12. Here, the first latch 124 is illustrated as an O-shaped opening. In other embodiments, the first latch 124 can be a bump. The structural design of the first latch 124 is related to the structure of the second latch 146 mentioned later.

[0049] For reference Figure 3 , is to illustrate the present invention Figure 1 The detailed schematic diagram of the wire end. The wire end 14 is combined with the board end 12. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the wire terminal 14 forms a receiving space SP, an opening 144 and a second latch 146. When the board terminal 12 is combined with the wire terminal 14, the second latch 146 latches the first latch 124, so that the wire terminal 14 is fixed to the board terminal 12 and the opening 144 corresponds to the first conductive terminal 122. The receiving space SP can be used to accommodate the wire 16. Here, the openings 144 are described by 6 as an example, and they respectively cover parts of the wire 16. The second latch 146 is formed on the periphery of the wire terminal 14. Here, the second latch 146 is described by a protrusion as an example. In other embodiments, the second latch 146 can be an O-shaped opening. Therefore, when the second latch 146 latches the first latch 124, the protrusion is latched in the O-shaped opening, so that the wire terminal 14 is fixed to the board terminal 12. In another embodiment, the wire terminal 14 can also include a positioning column 148.

[0050] For reference Figure 4 , is to illustrate the present invention Figure 1 The wire 16 can be arranged in the accommodation space SP. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the wire 16 has an insulating layer 162 and a plurality of wires. For the convenience of explanation, the wires are described here by taking a first wire 164 and a second wire 166 as an example. The insulating layer 162 covers the first wire 164 and the second wire 166, so that the first wire 164 and the second wire 166 are electrically isolated from the external environment of the wire 16. In the present embodiment, the insulating layer 162 is removed from a portion of the wire 16 corresponding to the opening 144 to simultaneously expose the first wire 164 and the second wire 166, that is, these wires are electrically isolated without the insulating layer 162 at that location. In another embodiment, the wire 16 may further include a positioning hole 168, and the positioning hole 168 is correspondingly arranged to the positioning post 148, so that after the positioning post 148 is combined with the positioning hole 168, the first wire 164 and the second wire 166 are positioned in the opening 144.

[0051] For reference Figure 5 , is to illustrate the present invention Figure 1 A top view of a wire material contacting a first conductive terminal. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the first conductive terminal 122 is arranged at the board end 12 so as to determine that the other end of the first conductive terminal 122 passes through the opening 144 to electrically contact one end of the first conductive wire 164 or the second conductive wire 166. In short, since the insulating layer 162 adjacent to the opening 144 is removed, all conductive wires (including the first conductive wire 164 and the second conductive wire 166) are exposed.

[0052] Therefore, as long as the position of the first conductive terminal 122 is designed and configured, the first conductive terminal 122 can be used to contact the conductive wire that is set to be connected. Here, the first conductive terminal 122 is connected to the first conductive wire 164 .

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light source module connector of the second embodiment of the present invention applied to the light source module. Figure 6 In the embodiment, the light source module connector 10' is also applied to the light source module 2, and the light source module connector 10' has the same board end 12 and wire end 14 as the first embodiment. The difference lies in the wire 16'. In another embodiment, the light source module connector 10' may also include a cover 18, and the function of the cover 18 is as described above.

[0054] Here, the board end 12 forms a first conductive terminal 122, a second conductive terminal 126 and a first latch 124, which are referred to as Figure 7 The first conductive terminal 122 here represents the part that needs to be conducted, and the second conductive terminal 126 here represents the part that does not need to be conducted. Here, the total number of the first conductive terminal 122 and the second conductive terminal 126 is 20 for example.

[0055] The description of the line terminal 14 is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0056] For reference Figure 8 , is to illustrate the present invention Figure 6 A top view of the wire. Figure 8In the embodiment, the wire 16' is different from the aforementioned wire 16' in which the insulating layer 162 of the wire 16 is completely removed at one point of the opening 144. The wire 16' removes the insulating layer only at one point of a special wire. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the first wire 164 needs to be designed to connect the first conductive terminal 122 and the second conductive terminal 166 without connecting the second conductive terminal 126. Therefore, according to the wire 16' removing the insulating layer 162 to expose the first conductive terminal 164, it can be determined that the other end of the first conductive terminal 122 passes through the opening 144 to electrically contact the first conductive terminal 164. In addition, the wire 16' removes the insulating layer 162 only at one point of the first conductive terminal 164 and does not remove the insulating layer 162 at one point of the second conductive terminal 166. Therefore, when the other end of the second conductive terminal 126 passes through the opening 144 and contacts the insulating layer 162, the second conductive terminal 126 and the second conductive terminal 166 are insulated and not electrically connected.

[0057] Therefore, as long as the insulating layer 162 is further removed from the first conductive wire 164 through design, the first conductive wire 164 can be selectively connected to the first conductive terminal 122 or the second conductive terminal 126 .

[0058] According to the above description, since the first embodiment selects the wire by the conductive terminal of the board end 12, it is called the board end type; and the second embodiment selects the conductive terminal by removing the position of the insulating layer 162 of the wire 16' to expose the wire, it is called the wire type. It is worth noting that the board end type and the wire type can be used at the same backlight layer, and the types used at the same time can be called the mixed type.

[0059] For reference Fig. 9 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light source module connector according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the light source module connector 10 ″ includes not only the board end 12 , the wire end 14 , the wire 16 and the cover 18 of the first embodiment, or not only the board end 12 , the wire end 14 , the wire 16 ′ and the cover 18 of the second embodiment, but also a wire configuration adapter 20 .

[0060] The board end 12 , the wire end 14 , the wires 16 , 16 and the cover 18 are described above and will not be repeated here.

[0061] The wire configuration adapter 20 has a plurality of pins (not shown), which can connect the other ends of the first wire 164 and the second wire 166. The first wire 164 and the second wire 166 can be configured through the pins by means of jumpers, switching, etc.

[0062] 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.
