Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with application number 201710542884.7, application date 2011.08.30, and invention name "Positive and Negative Double-Sided Electrical Connection Structure". TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to an electrical connector, in particular to a positive and negative double-sided electrical connection structure. BACKGROUND
[0003] The most popular signal transmission specification for computer equipment today is the Universal Serial Bus (USB). The connector socket and transmission line made of this specification can make the peripheral equipment connected to the computer, such as mouse, keyboard, flash disk, etc., be detected and used immediately.
[0004] The current USB female socket and USB connector are one-way electrical connection. In order to ensure that the USB connector can be electrically connected when inserted into the USB female socket, both have a foolproof design when docking, that is, when the USB connector is inserted in reverse, it cannot be inserted, the user will insert it in the other direction, and only when the direction is correct can it be inserted. This can ensure that the electrical connection is established after insertion.
[0005] Currently, there are two specifications for USB, 2.0 and 3.0. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is a disk body disk 1 with a plate type connector of the existing USB 2.0 specification. It is provided with a plastic seat body 10 and a circuit board 15. The rear section of the circuit board 15 is covered by the plastic seat body 10. The front section of the circuit board 15 only exposes one surface of the plastic seat body 10. The surface is provided with a row of four contacts 16.
[0006] Please refer to Figure 3 , which is an electrical connection female socket 20 of the existing USB 2.0 specification. It is provided with a metal shell 25 and a tongue 22. The metal shell 25 forms a connection slot 21 inside. The tongue 22 is located at the upper position of the connection slot. The tongue only has a row of four contacts 23 on the lower surface. The top and bottom surfaces of the metal shell 25 are each stamped with two spring pieces 24.
[0007] Please refer to Figure 4 In use, the flash disk 1 must be inserted with the contacts 16 facing up to be electrically connected with the row of contacts 23 located on the lower surface of the tongue 22. The four spring pieces 24 are in close contact with the disk body disk 1. If the disk body disk 1 is inserted in reverse, it cannot be electrically connected. The user usually inserts it randomly, so the probability of not being able to insert it is 1 / 2. Therefore, it is often inserted twice, causing inconvenience in use.
[0008] For the convenience of use, it is still required that the positive and negative sides can be electrically connected in both directions, so the applicant develops an electronic device with a double-sided positive and negative connector with double-sided electrical connection function. In order to match the double-sided electrical connection function, the connector must be designed with two rows of contacts. However, in use, the spring 24 of the electrical connection female seat may abut the contacts on the other board surface, causing a short circuit, so this problem also needs to be overcome.
[0009] The applicant of the present application has intensively researched the double-sided plug-in design of the above-mentioned product, and finally proposed a product improvement structure to overcome the above-mentioned potential problems. SUMMARY
[0010] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a positive and negative double-sided electrical connection structure, wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the mating structure have contacts, achieving convenience and versatility in use.
[0011] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a positive and negative double-sided electrical connection structure which can be positively and negatively mated with a mating electrical connector, comprising: a mating structure provided with a connection slot, the front end of the connection slot is an insertion port and is provided with a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface and the bottom surface are each provided with a connection interface, the two connection interfaces are each provided with a row of contacts, the two rows of contacts are each provided with a plurality of contacts of different signals, the two rows of contacts are formed on two rows of terminals, the shape of the connection slot can be positively and negatively mated with a mating part of the mating electrical connector; characterized in that a rear segment of the top surface is convex to the center height of the connection slot than a front segment, a rear segment of the bottom surface is convex to the center height of the connection slot than a front segment, the mating part is a connection plate, the upper and lower surfaces of the connection plate are each provided with a connection interface.
[0012] Through the above structure, the present application can achieve convenience and versatility in use.
[0013] The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present application will become more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0132] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , and Figure 7 , a first embodiment of the present invention is a USB 2.0 specification flash disk that can be electrically connected to a female connector on both sides, which includes an outer cover 30, a circuit board 40, a connecting plate 55, an electronic unit 4, and a limiting structure 50, wherein:
[0133] The outer cover 30 is made of plastic and has a lower seat 31 and an upper cover 32. The lower seat 31 has a cavity 33.
[0134] The circuit board 40 is placed in the cavity 33 of the outer cover 30. The rear section of the circuit board 40 is covered by the outer cover 30, and the front section of the circuit board 40 is exposed outside the outer cover 30, which is the connecting plate 55. Therefore, the connecting plate 55 is directly in contact with and fixed to the outer cover 30. Each of the two plate surfaces (upper and lower plate surfaces) of the connecting plate 55 has a row of first contacts 41. The two rows of first contacts 41 are circuit contacts formed on the circuit board 40. The two rows of first contacts 41 are both 4, which can transmit 1. VCC (power supply), 2. USB D- (signal), 3. USB D+ (signal), and 4. GND (ground) circuits, respectively. The two rows of first contacts 41 have the same connection interface and the circuit numbers are arranged in reverse order, such as Figure 7As shown, the circuit numbers of the first contact points 41 on the upper surface of the connecting plate 55 from right to left are a1, a2, a3, and a4, and the circuit numbers of the first contact points 41 on the lower surface of the connecting plate 55 from right to left are b4, b3, b2, and b1. In addition, the connecting plate 55 is symmetrical in shape, so it can be positioned in a female connector in either orientation.
[0135] The outer cover 30 and the connecting plate 55 are combined into a mating structure, and the following second embodiment to the sixty-fifth embodiment are also combined into a mating structure, that is, the connecting plate 55 is part of the mating structure.
[0136] Please refer to Figure 8 The first contact points 41 with the same circuit numbers in the two rows are electrically connected in series to form a group, that is, a1 and b1 are electrically connected, a2 and b2 are electrically connected, a3 and b3 are electrically connected, and a4 and b4 are electrically connected. Among them, a1 and b1 are power contact points and must not be short-circuited, so a1 and b1 are electrically connected to each other through a Schottky diode 46. The Schottky diode 46 mainly prevents reverse current, so as to achieve the effect of preventing short circuit.
[0137] The above-mentioned use of Schottky diode to prevent short circuit is one way of electronic circuit safety protection means, but there are also many ways such as setting reverse current protection electronic components or short circuit protection electronic components or circuit safety protection components or safety circuit setting means, so as to achieve the effect of circuit safety protection.
[0138] The electronic unit 4 is a storage unit electrically connected to the circuit board 40 and covered by the outer cover 30, which includes a memory 43 and a control circuit 45. The memory 43 can be but not limited to a flash memory or a read-only memory (ROM), and the capacity of the memory 43 is not limited. The control circuit 45 controls the operation of the memory 43 of the electronic unit. The two rows of first contact points 41 are electrically connected to the electronic unit 4.
[0139] The limiting structure 50 is integrally formed with the outer cover 30. The limiting structure 50 forms four front and back direction ribs on the two surfaces of the connecting plate 55 respectively. The limiting structure 50 protrudes from the first contact points 41 on the two surfaces of the connecting plate 55 to protect the two rows of first contact points 41 and prevent short circuit. The connecting plate 55 is provided with two through holes 42 matched with the two middle ribs of the limiting structure 50.
[0140] Please refer to Figure 9, by the above configuration, when the USB flash disk 3 is inserted into the electric connection female seat 20, since the shape of the connection plate can be positively and negatively double-sidedly connected and positioned in the electric connection female seat 20, and the two plate surfaces of the connection plate are provided with the same connection interface and the circuit serial numbers of the two rows of first contacts 41 are reversely arranged, therefore, the user can position and electrically connect by inserting any plate surface into the connection groove 21 of the electric connection female seat 20. As shown in the figure, when one row of first contacts a1, a2, a3, a4 is electrically connected with one row of contacts 23 of the electric connection female seat 20, the spring sheet 24 of the electric connection female seat 20 is pressed against the limiting structure 50 of the other plate surface, so as not to touch the first contacts b1, b4 to cause short circuit. Furthermore, since the first contact b1 is electrically connected with the Schottky diode 46, the current cannot flow reversely to the first contact b1, so as to further ensure that the power contact, i.e. the first contact b1, will not be short-circuited.
[0141] In addition, the present embodiment can further include a control means combined with the USB 2.0 specification USB flash disk, so as to perform data storage and control program on the storage unit.
[0142] The outer cover 30 of the above embodiment is a plastic shell, the electronic unit 4 is welded on the circuit board, the outer cover 30 covers the circuit board 40 and the electronic unit 4. However, in order to make the overall USB flash disk thinner, the memory and control circuit of the electronic unit 4 can also be packaged in the chip on board (Chip On Board, COB for short) way on the circuit board 40. In this way, the electronic unit 4 is also electrically connected to the circuit board and is covered by an outer cover packaging, and the COB way still belongs to the scope of the present application.
[0143] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , which is the second embodiment of the present application, which is basically the same as the first embodiment, the difference is that the limiting structure 50 of the present embodiment is a metal layer, which is plated on both sides of the two plate surfaces of the connection plate 55.
[0144] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , which is the third embodiment of the present application, which is basically the same as the second embodiment, the difference is that the two plate surfaces of the connection plate 55 of the present embodiment are completely not provided with limiting structure, in order to ensure that there is no short circuit, one row of first contacts a1, a2, a3, a4 and one row of first contacts b1, b2, b3, b4 are respectively electrically connected with a Schottky diode 46, so as to prevent the current from flowing reversely, and achieve the effect of preventing short circuit.
[0145] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15The fourth embodiment of the present application is basically the same as the first embodiment. The fourth embodiment also has an outer cover 30, a circuit board 40, a connecting plate 55, an electronic unit, and a limiting structure 50. The difference is that the connecting plate 55 is integrally formed with the outer cover 30. The connecting plate 55 has four first terminals 60 and a detection structure 80. Each first terminal 60 has first contacts 62 and 63 respectively attached to two plate surfaces of the connecting plate 55. The detection structure 80 is fixed to the outer cover 30 and has two movable terminals 81 and 82 and a fixed terminal 83. The two movable terminals 81 and 82 are located above and below the fixed terminal 83 and each has a protrusion 85 protruding above and below the connecting plate 55. When the USB flash drive of the fourth embodiment is inserted into an electrical connection female socket for electrical connection, if the row of first contacts 62 is electrically connected to the electrical connection female socket, the movable terminal 81 is pressed and conducts with the fixed terminal 83 to complete detection. Thus, the control circuit knows that the row of first contacts 62 is electrically connected and transmits corresponding circuit signals. Conversely, when the USB flash drive is inserted into the electrical connection female socket for electrical connection with the reverse side, if the row of first contacts 63 is electrically connected to the electrical connection female socket, the movable terminal 82 is pressed and conducts with the fixed terminal 83 to complete detection. Thus, the control circuit knows that the row of first contacts 63 is electrically connected and transmits corresponding circuit signals.
[0146] Please refer to Figure 16 The fifth embodiment of the present application is a USB 3.0 specification flash drive. The fifth embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment. The fifth embodiment also has an outer cover 30, a circuit board 40, a connecting plate 55, an electronic unit, and a limiting structure 50. The difference is that the fifth embodiment has two rows of five second terminals 70. Each second terminal 70 has a springable extension 71. One end of the extension 71 extends to the connecting plate 55 and has a protruding second contact 72. The other end of the extension 71 has a pin soldered to the circuit board 40 and electrically connected to the electronic unit. The two rows of second contacts 72 protrude from two plate surfaces of the connecting plate 55 and are located behind the two rows of first contacts 41. The second contacts 72 can be springed up and down with the extensions 71.

[0309] V. Provide soldering material to be applied to the contacts and soldering areas 432 on one surface of the circuit board 40;
[0310] VI. Arrange and paste the anti-reverse flow electronic components or anti-short circuit electronic components or Schottky diodes or other electronic circuit safety protection devices and the electronic unit 4 on the corresponding contacts on the circuit board 40. The additional group of conductive contacts, i.e. the pins 64 of the row of first terminals 60 of the insulating seat body 34', are pasted on the group of conductive contacts 430 on the surface of the circuit board. The front ends 66 of the two first terminals 60 are connected with the soldering areas 432;
[0311] VII. Perform reflow soldering on the components pasted on the circuit board 40;
[0312] VIII. Package the surface of the circuit board with the above-mentioned components to form an outer cover 30, and combine the circuit board 40 and the outer cover 30 into a package. The additional group of conductive contacts, i.e. the first contacts 62 of the row of first terminals 60, are exposed on the upper surface of the outer cover 30 of the package. The group of conductive contacts on the other surface of the circuit board are exposed on the surface of the circuit board of the package;
[0313] IX. A set of conductive contacts 430, solder areas 432 and solder areas 434 of the reinforcing plate 59 are provided on the surface of the circuit board 40 to which the solder material is applied.
[0314] X.
