AI Technical Summary
Due to the fixed structure of the existing connector, the thermal conduction device and the heat dissipation device have high thermal impedance and limited heat dissipation capabilities. Especially in high-frequency transmission application environments, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the device's long-term operation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a connector assembly, in particular to a connector assembly with a heat sink inside. Background Art
[0002] Chinese invention patent publication number CN104470321 B (corresponding to US patent publication number US9,547,140) discloses a connector, which includes a housing, multiple partitions, at least one heat-conducting device and at least one heat-dissipating device. The housing of the connector includes multiple accommodating units for accommodating plugs, the accommodating units are arranged in at least two rows in the height direction and in at least two columns in the transverse direction, and two adjacent accommodating units in each row in the transverse direction are separated by a partition. The multiple partitions are respectively arranged between two adjacent accommodating units in the height direction. The heat-conducting body of the heat-conducting device is inserted into the interior of the housing from the side wall of the housing and passes through the multiple partitions in the transverse direction, thereby forming a heat-conducting path in the transverse direction. The heat-dissipating device is arranged at the side edges of the heat-conducting body of the heat-conducting device. However, the heat-conducting body of the heat-conducting device of this connector needs to pass through multiple partitions in the transverse direction, so the heat-conducting body is immovable, that is, the heat-conducting body and the heat-dissipating device arranged on the side are fixed and cannot move. For such immovable heat-conducting device and heat-dissipating device, elastic heat-conducting pads and heat-conducting blocks must be added in respective accommodation units to contact respective plugs. Therefore, such heat-conducting device and heat-dissipating device have many structural components, relatively high thermal impedance, and limited heat dissipation capacity. Moreover, all accommodation units including the height direction and the lateral direction are heat-conducting through the path of the same heat-conducting body, which easily makes it impossible for heat to be quickly dissipated and accumulate to generate high temperature.
[0003] Chinese invention patent publication number CN106469878 A (corresponding to US patent publication number US10,153,571) discloses a connector, wherein the cover of the connector includes a middle part, the middle part includes an upper wall and a lower wall, the upper wall and the lower wall define an upper port and a lower port in the cover, and the lower wall includes a hole formed therein so that the middle part is connected to the lower port. The bias heat sink of the connector is arranged in the middle part between the upper port and the lower port, and the bias heat sink extends through the hole and enters the lower port. The bias heat sink of this connector can directly contact the plug to dissipate heat more efficiently, but the bias heat sink is built into the interior of the cover and can only dissipate heat by relying on the air flow introduced into the middle part. Therefore, in application environments with higher frequency transmission, it is expected that these heat dissipation structures can have better heat dissipation capabilities to ensure the stability of the device for long-term operation.

The built-in bias heat sink is arranged in the compartment bracket and has a built-in heat sink that passes through the lower window to enter the lower storage space, and the built-in heat sink can move along the up and down direction. The two side wing heat sinks are respectively located on the outer sides of the two side walls of the cover body, and the two side wing heat sinks are connected to the built-in heat sink through a connecting structure passing through the side window. The width of the side window in the up and down direction is greater than the width of the connecting structure in the up and down direction, so that the two side wing heat sinks can move along the up and down direction with the built-in heat sink.

[0008] In some embodiments, the connection structure further includes a connection layer of a thermally conductive material disposed between the first connection portion and the second connection portion.
[0009] In some embodiments, both the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are convex structures.
[0010] In some embodiments, the built-in heat sink has a thermal coupling portion that passes through the lower window and enters the lower accommodating space, and the built-in biased heat sink also includes a biasing spring disposed between the built-in heat sink and an upper wall of the compartment bracket.
[0011] In some embodiments, the side wing heat sink has a plate body extending along the corresponding side wall, and heat sink fins formed outward from the plate body, and the built-in heat sink has a base plate, and heat sink fins formed upward from the base plate.

On the other hand, the present invention is respectively provided with the external heat sink, the built-in bias heat sink and the side wing heat sink connected to the built-in bias heat sink for the upper accommodating space and the lower accommodating space, which can completely improve the overall heat dissipation capacity for each part of the guide shield.

[0121] It should be noted that, although in the present embodiment, the base plate 411 and the heat dissipation fins 412 of the built-in heat dissipation element 41 are of an integrated structure, the base plate 411 and the heat dissipation fins 412 of the built-in heat dissipation element 41 may also be of an assembled structure in other embodiments. Similarly, although in the present embodiment, the plate body 51 and the heat dissipation fins 52 of the wing heat dissipation element 5 are of an integrated structure, the plate body 51 and the heat dissipation fins 52 of the wing heat dissipation element 5 may also be of an assembled structure in other embodiments.

The plurality of first front heat dissipation holes 123a and the plurality of second front heat dissipation holes 161a are connected to the inner storage space 125 so that air flow can more easily enter the inner storage space 125, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation performance of the built-in bias heat sink 4. Each top wall 111 of the cover body 11 is formed with a plurality of top heat dissipation holes 111c, each side wall 112 of the cover body 11 is formed with a plurality of side heat dissipation holes 112g, and the rear wall 114 of the cover body 11 is formed with a plurality of rear heat dissipation holes 114a. The top heat dissipation holes 111c, the side heat dissipation holes 112g and the rear heat dissipation holes 114a are connected to the upper accommodation space 13 and the lower accommodation space 14 so that air flow can more easily enter the upper accommodation space 13 and the lower accommodation space 14, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation performance of the connector assembly 100.
[0123] In summary, the movable built-in heat sink 41 of the present invention is connected to both sides with the side wing heat sink 5, and the side wing heat sink 5 is located on the outside of the two side walls 112 of the guide shield 1, which can guide the heat of the built-in heat sink 41 to the outside of the guide shield 1, not only increasing the heat dissipation area, but also increasing the interaction with the external air flow to improve the heat dissipation capacity. On the other hand, the present invention is respectively provided with the external heat sink 3, the built-in bias heat sink 4 and the side wing heat sink 5 connected to the built-in bias heat sink 4 for the upper accommodating space 13 and the lower accommodating space 14, which can completely improve the overall heat dissipation capacity for each part of the guide shield 1.
