TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to an electrical connector and a female connector. BACKGROUND

[0002] An electrical connector is also commonly known as an electric circuit connector or an electronic connector, which can be used to bridge two electrical devices on a circuit, so that electric current or signals can flow from one electrical device to another. Since the electrical connector is easy to make into a standardized component and has high electrical connection reliability, it is particularly suitable for modular components.

[0003] In the related art, an electrical connector generally includes an insulating shell and a conductive terminal arranged in the insulating shell. The insulating shell is prone to shrinkage, blistering and other problems during hot processing such as injection molding or reflow soldering, thereby reducing product yield. SUMMARY

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide an electrical connector and a female connector to improve the product yield of the electrical connector.

[0005] A female connector includes:

[0006] a shell having a slot, a hole and an auxiliary slot, the slot being configured to receive a male connector, the hole being in communication with the slot, and the auxiliary slot being located on a side of the shell facing the slot; and

[0007] a conductive terminal embedded in the hole and extending into the slot.

[0008] In one embodiment, the shell includes opposite first and second end faces, the slot extends from the first end face to the second end face and is spaced apart from the second end face, the hole extends from the second end face to a bottom of the slot, and the auxiliary slot extends from the second end face to the first end face and is spaced apart from the first end face.

[0009] In one embodiment, the auxiliary slot is spaced apart from two or more auxiliary slots, and the auxiliary slot is spaced apart from the hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the shell has two or more guide slots spaced apart, and the guide slots extend from the first end face to the bottom of the slot.

The first sidewall, the second sidewall, the third sidewall, the fourth sidewall and the bottom wall together form the slot. The bottom wall has a second end face. The end faces of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall facing away from the second end face together form the first end face. The insertion hole is formed in the bottom wall, and the auxiliary groove is formed in the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

[0012] In one embodiment, an orientation groove is provided on the edge of the second end face, the orientation groove being used for the orientation of the housing in the vibratory feeder.

[0013] In one embodiment, the directional groove extends to the side of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the third sidewall opposite to the slot.

[0014] An electrical connector includes a male connector head and a female connector head as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the male connector head is used to engage and fix with the housing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the housing has a slot exposed on the side of the housing facing away from the slot, and a locking block is provided in the slot; the male connector includes a body, a support arm, and a connecting arm, the connecting arm is connected to the body through the support arm, the connecting arm is used to engage and fix with the locking block, and one end of the connecting arm is used to be pressed to make the opposite end of the connecting arm swing around the support arm, so as to disengage the connecting arm from the locking block.

[0016] In one embodiment, the end of the locking block near the insertion hole is provided with an anti-disengagement groove, and the end of the connecting arm for engaging with the locking block is provided with a protruding tooth. After the connecting arm is engaged and fixed with the locking block, the protruding tooth is accommodated in the anti-disengagement groove to limit the swing of the connecting arm. The body is used to be pressed to move the connecting arm towards the insertion hole in the insertion / removal direction, so that the protruding tooth disengages from the anti-disengagement groove.

[0017] The above electrical connectors and connector sockets have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] Since the connector female socket includes a housing and conductive terminals, the housing has slots, sockets, and auxiliary grooves. The slots are used to insert the connector male head, the sockets communicate with the slots, and the auxiliary grooves are located on the side of the housing facing the slots. The conductive terminals are embedded in the sockets and extend into the slots. During the injection molding process of the housing, the auxiliary grooves located on the inner side of the housing can increase the heat dissipation area and provide space for thermal deformation, so as to prevent shrinkage and maintain the overall appearance of the housing and meet the appearance and size requirements. During the reflow soldering process of the connector female socket, the auxiliary grooves can also prevent blistering, so as to further ensure the overall appearance of the housing and meet the appearance and size requirements.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0036] refer to Figure 1This invention discloses an electrical connector 10, which includes a female connector 11 and a male connector 13. The male connector 13 can be plugged into the female connector 11 to achieve an electrical connection. In practical applications, the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 can be connected to two electrical components respectively to achieve current or data transmission between the two components. For example, in some embodiments, the female connector 11 is electrically connected to the motherboard of a mobile phone, and the male connector 13 is connected to the battery of the mobile phone. After the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 are plugged in, the battery can supply power to the electronic components on the motherboard. In other embodiments, the male connector 13 is connected to a camera module, and the female connector 11 is connected to the motherboard. After the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 are plugged in, current and data transmission between the camera module and the motherboard can be achieved.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector female socket 11 includes a housing 111 and conductive terminals 113. The housing 111 can be made of plastic, which has relatively good insulation properties within the operating temperature range and can provide good structural rigidity for the connector female socket 11. In some embodiments, the housing 111 is generally in the shape of a hollow rectangular block, while referring to... Figure 4 The housing 111 has a slot 111a, a socket 111b, and an auxiliary groove 111c. The slot 111a is used to insert the male connector 13. The socket 111b communicates with the slot 111a. The auxiliary groove 111c is located on the side of the housing 111 facing the slot 111a. The conductive terminal 113 is embedded in the socket 111b and extends into the slot 111a.

[0038] The conductive terminal 113 is made of metal, such as a copper alloy. One end extends into the slot 111a, and the other end is used for electrical connection with a circuit board or other electrical components. The shape of the conductive terminal 113 can be designed according to usage requirements. For example, in this embodiment, the conductive terminal 113 is approximately F-shaped. The side of the conductive terminal 113 facing away from the slot 111a can be soldered to an external electrical component such as a circuit board to achieve electrical connection between the conductive terminal 113 and the external electrical component. There can be multiple conductive terminals 113, and the number of sockets 111b is the same as the number of conductive terminals 113, with each corresponding to the other. This ensures reliable insulation between adjacent conductive terminals 113 through the spaced sockets 111b. After the conductive terminal 113 is assembled with the housing 111, the end used for soldering to the external electrical component can protrude from the side of the housing 111 to facilitate alignment and assembly of the conductive terminal 113 with the external electrical component. In this embodiment, the socket 111b for inserting the conductive terminal 113 can extend to the side of the housing 111, such as... Figure 4As shown, a portion of the conductive terminal 113 is embedded in the insertion hole 111b extending to the side of the housing 111, thereby limiting the range of movement of the conductive terminal 113 in the housing 111 and making the conductive terminal 113 more reliably positioned in the housing 111.

[0039] In some embodiments, the conductive terminal 113 is interference-fitted with the housing 111 to achieve a stable positioning of the conductive terminal 113 within the housing 111. In other embodiments, after the conductive terminal 113 is assembled with the housing 111, it can also be bonded to the housing 111 by means of heat fusion or other methods to ensure the reliability of the connection between the conductive terminal 113 and the housing 111.

[0040] The male connector 13 is provided with contact terminals (not shown). Multiple contact terminals can be provided, each corresponding one-to-one with the conductive terminals 113. These contact terminals can be electrically connected to wires or other external electrical components. After the male connector 13 is inserted into the female connector 11, the contact terminals and conductive terminals 113 make contact and conduct electricity, thereby enabling the transmission of current or data between two electrical components using the electrical connector 10. In other embodiments, the housing 111 can be of other shapes, such as a circular block.

[0041] The cross-sectional shape of the slot 111a matches the cross-sectional shape of the connector male head 13. For example, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the slot 111a is approximately rectangular, the insertion hole 111b is formed at the bottom of the slot 111a, and the auxiliary groove 111c is located on the side of the housing 111 facing the slot 111a, that is, the auxiliary groove 111c extends along the groove wall of the slot 111a. In other words, the auxiliary groove 111c is located on the inner side of the housing 111. This arrangement, on the one hand, allows the housing 111 to have a better overall appearance, that is, the appearance of the housing 111 is relatively simple, so that the connector female head 11 can be firmly clamped during the insertion and removal of the connector male head 13. On the other hand, the auxiliary groove 111c can provide space for the deformation of the housing 111, so as to prevent the housing 111 from shrinking or bubbling when heated, thereby ensuring the appearance dimensions of the housing 111. For example, during the injection molding process of the housing 111, the heated housing 111 tends to deform. The auxiliary groove 111c can prevent the housing 111 from deforming and causing significant changes in the external dimensions of the connector female 11. Similarly, during the reflow soldering process of the connector female 11, when the housing 111 is heated, the thinner wall thickness of the housing 111 at the location of the auxiliary groove 111c, and the increased heat dissipation area, can prevent the housing 111 from blistering due to heat, thus preventing significant changes in the external dimensions of the connector female 11. Therefore, the auxiliary groove 111c can prevent shrinkage or blistering problems in the connector female 11, improving product yield.

[0042] In some embodiments, a guide groove 111d may be formed in the wall of the slot 111a. The guide groove 111d extends from the end face of the housing 111 away from the insertion hole 111b to the bottom of the slot 111a. The male connector 13 may be provided with a guide block (not shown) corresponding to the guide groove 111d. During the process of inserting the male connector 13 into the female connector 11, the guide block needs to be aligned with the guide groove 111d to insert the male connector 13 into the slot 111a of the female connector 11, and to ensure that the conductive terminals 113 correspond one-to-one with the contact terminals. The cooperation between the guide groove 111d and the guide block can play a role in preventing misinsertion, that is, preventing the male connector 13 from being inserted into the slot 111a without the contact terminals of the male connector 13 being aligned with the conductive terminals 113 of the female connector 11, which would cause deformation or even damage to the conductive terminals 113 or the contact terminals.

[0043] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The housing 111 includes a first end face a1 and a second end face a2 facing each other. A slot 111a extends from the first end face a1 to the second end face a2 and is spaced apart from the second end face a2. A socket 111b extends from the second end face a2 to the bottom of the slot 111a. An auxiliary groove 111c extends from the second end face a2 to the first end face a1 and is spaced apart from the first end face a1. A guide groove 111d extends from the first end face a1 to the bottom of the slot 111a. In other words, in this embodiment, the auxiliary groove 111c does not necessarily extend to the first end face a1, but is spaced a certain distance from it. Since the guide groove 111d extends from the first end face a1 to the bottom of the slot 111a, and the auxiliary groove 111c is spaced from the first end face a1, compared with the setting of the auxiliary groove 111c extending to the first end face a1, the structural strength of the housing 111 can be avoided by too much, and the structural strength of the housing 111 can be guaranteed, so as to improve the structural stability of the housing 111 during the insertion and removal of the connector male head 13.

[0044] The extension of the auxiliary groove 111c from the second end face a2 to the first end face a1 is also beneficial to the processing and forming of the auxiliary groove 111c. For example, the socket 111b and the auxiliary groove 111c can be formed in one step, so as to save the forming process of the housing 111 and improve the processing efficiency of the connector female 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, two or more auxiliary slots 111c are provided at intervals, and the auxiliary slots 111c are provided at intervals from the insertion holes 111b. Two or more auxiliary slots 111c can further improve the anti-shrinkage and anti-bubbling effects of the housing 111.

[0046] Specifically, the housing 111 may include a first sidewall b1 and a second sidewall b2 disposed opposite to each other, a third sidewall b3 and a fourth sidewall b4 disposed between the first sidewall b1 and the second sidewall b2 and opposite to each other, and a bottom wall b5 connected to the same end of the first sidewall b1, the second sidewall b2, the third sidewall b3 and the fourth sidewall b4. The first sidewall b1, the second sidewall b2, the third sidewall b3, the fourth sidewall b4 and the bottom wall b5 together form a slot 111a. The bottom wall b5 has a second end face a2. The end faces of the first sidewall b1, the second sidewall b2, the third sidewall b3 and the fourth sidewall b4 that are opposite to the second end face a2 together form a first end face a1. An insertion hole 111b is opened in the bottom wall b5, and an auxiliary groove 111c is opened in the first sidewall b1 and the second sidewall b2.

[0047] In embodiments where two or more auxiliary grooves 111c are spaced apart, the first sidewall b1 can have two spaced auxiliary grooves 111c, and the second sidewall b2 can also have two spaced auxiliary grooves 111c. There can be four guide grooves 111d, with two guide grooves 111d spaced apart on the third sidewall b3, and the other two guide grooves 111d respectively located at the connection points of the first sidewall b1 and the fourth sidewall b4, and the second sidewall b2 and the fourth sidewall b4. This arrangement of guide grooves 111d and auxiliary grooves 111c achieves good anti-misinsertion requirements while avoiding excessive weakening of the structural strength of any of the first sidewall b1, second sidewall b2, third sidewall b3, and fourth sidewall b4.

[0048] See again Figure 4 In some embodiments, an orientation groove 111e is also provided on the edge of the second end face a2. The orientation groove 111e is used for the orientation of the housing 111 on the vibratory feeder. During the processing and assembly of the electrical connector 10, the housings 111 of multiple connector females 11 can be placed inside the vibratory feeder. Under the vibration of the vibratory feeder, the orientation groove 111e located on the edge of the second end face a2 can be aligned with the mating structure inside the vibratory feeder. For example, the orientation groove 111e can be a right-angled groove structure. A rod-shaped structure matching the shape of the orientation groove 111e can be provided inside the vibratory feeder as a mating structure. Under the vibration of the vibratory feeder, the orientation groove 111e can be aligned with the rod-shaped structure inside the vibratory feeder, thereby enabling the multiple housings 111 to have a regular arrangement posture, which facilitates the next process for processing or assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the orientation groove 111e extends to the side of the first sidewall b1, the second sidewall b2, and the third sidewall b3 opposite to the slot 111a. In other words, the orientation groove 111e penetrates the edges of the first sidewall b1, the second sidewall b2, and the third sidewall b3 away from the first end face a1, so that the orientation groove 111e has a relatively long length, thereby facilitating alignment with the mating structure inside the vibratory feeder to adjust the posture of the housing 111.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the fourth sidewall b4 is recessed into the slot 111a to form a boss b41. A slot 111f is formed on the side of the boss b41 facing away from the slot 111a. The slot 111f is exposed on the side of the housing 111 facing away from the slot 111a, and a locking block b42 is provided in the slot 111f for engaging and fixing with the connector male head 13. The above structural arrangement ensures that the first sidewall b1, second sidewall b2, third sidewall b3, and fourth sidewall b4 of the connector female head 11 have approximately equal wall thicknesses. During the injection molding process of the housing 111, this arrangement can ensure uniform cooling and prevent internal stress caused by large differences in wall thickness, which could lead to instability in the structure of the housing 111.

[0051] refer to Figure 8 and combined Figure 9 , Figure 10 The male connector 13 may include a body 131, a support arm 133, and a connecting arm 135, with contact terminals disposed on the body 131. The connecting arm 135 is connected to the body 131 via the support arm 133. The connecting arm 135 is used to engage and fix with the locking block b42, and one end of the connecting arm 135 is used to be pressed to offset perpendicular to the insertion / removal direction, so that the opposite end of the connecting arm 135 swings around the support arm 133, thereby disengaging the connecting arm 135 from the locking block b42. The pressed end of the connecting arm 135 may be provided with anti-slip stripes. The insertion direction can be simply understood as the direction in which the male connector 13 is inserted into or removed from the female connector 11. Two support arms 133 may be provided at intervals, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the connection area between each arm 133 and the connecting arm 135 is relatively small, allowing the arm 133 to more easily sway when pressed, thus facilitating the release of the connection between the connecting arm 135 and the locking block b42. Specifically, in some embodiments, when the relative position of the connector male head 13 after insertion into the connector female head 11 is used as a reference, the groove between two spaced-apart arms 133 can extend towards the second end face a2, or in other words, the groove between the two arms 133 extends from the pressed end of the connecting arm 135 to the opposite end, thereby forming a groove that can engage with the locking block b42. This structural arrangement facilitates the forming process of the groove for engaging with the locking block b42, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the connector female head 11.

[0052] Furthermore, a notch 111g can be provided on the fourth sidewall b4 (see reference). Figure 2 The notch 111g is used to avoid the support arm 133, so that the male connector 13 can be inserted into the preset position of the slot 111a. In some embodiments, after the male connector 13 is inserted into the slot 111a of the female connector 11, the support arm 133 can abut against the boss b41 at the notch 111g, thereby defining the position of the male connector 13. Of course, this arrangement is not necessary.

[0053] refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the end of the locking block b42 near the insertion hole 111b may be provided with an anti-disengagement groove 111h, and the end of the connecting arm 135 for engaging with the locking block b42 is provided with a protruding tooth 1351. After the connecting arm 135 is engaged and fixed with the locking block b42, the protruding tooth 1351 is accommodated in the anti-disengagement groove 111h to limit the swing of the connecting arm 135. The body 131 is used to be pressed to move the connecting arm 135 toward the end where the insertion hole 111b is located, so that the protruding tooth 1351 disengages from the anti-disengagement groove 111h.

[0054] In related technologies, after the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 are mated, it is generally required that the male connector 13 will not easily come out of the female connector 11 to ensure the operational reliability of the electrical connector 10. However, at the same time, it is also required that the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 have the characteristic of easy disassembly to facilitate later maintenance. In other words, after the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 are mated, it is desirable that the male connector 13 cannot be easily pulled out of the slot 111a to ensure the connection reliability between the male connector 13 and the female connector 11, while it is also desirable that the male connector 13 can be relatively easily pulled out of the slot 111a so that the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 are easy to disassemble and maintain. These two performance requirements are mutually restrictive.

[0055] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned problem can be effectively solved by the cooperation between the protruding tooth 1351 and the anti-detachment groove 111h. When the male connector 13 is inserted into the female connector 11, the protruding tooth 1351 is accommodated in the anti-detachment groove 111h, as shown below. Figure 12As shown, in the direction of pull-out of the male connector 13, i.e., from the first end face a1 to the second end face a2, the abutting action of the protrusion 1351 and the protrusion can prevent the male connector 13 from being easily pulled out of the slot 111a. Even if the end of the connecting arm 135 away from the socket 111b (i.e. the end that is pressed) is accidentally hit, causing the opposite end of the connecting arm 135 to tend to wobble, the cooperation of the protrusion 1351 and the anti-disengagement groove 111h can also prevent the connecting arm 135 from easily disengaging from the locking block b42, that is, to ensure that the male connector 13 will not easily disengage from the slot 111a of the female connector 11 under normal use.

[0056] When it is necessary to detach the male connector 13 from the female connector 11, the male connector 13 can be pressed in the insertion / removal direction so that the body 131 of the male connector 13 moves toward the end of the female connector 11 where the socket 111b is located. With the notch 111g avoiding the support arm 133, the protrusion 1351 can be removed from the anti-disengagement groove 111h. Figure 13 As shown; thereafter, pressing one end of the connecting arm 135 to cause one end of the connecting arm 135 to swing perpendicular to the insertion / removal direction releases the engagement between the connecting arm 135 and the locking block b42, thereby allowing the male connector 13 to be pulled out of the slot 111a of the female connector 11. Moreover, this structure does not require any other auxiliary tools, thus ensuring convenient disassembly and reassembly of the male connector 13 and the female connector 11.

[0057] In other words, by adopting the structure of this solution, it can meet both the requirement that the male connector 13 does not easily come off the female connector 11 and the requirement that the male connector 13 and the female connector 11 can be easily disassembled, thus effectively solving the problem of mutual constraints between the two performance requirements.

[0058] The above-mentioned electrical connector 10 and connector socket 11 have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0059] Since the connector female socket 11 includes a housing 111 and conductive terminals 113, the housing 111 has a slot 111a, a socket 111b and an auxiliary groove 111c. The slot 111a is used to insert the connector male head 13, the socket 111b communicates with the slot 111a, and the auxiliary groove 111c is located on the side of the housing 111 facing the slot 111a. The conductive terminal 113 is embedded in the socket 111b and extends into the slot 111a. During the injection molding process of the housing 111, the auxiliary groove 111c located on the inner side of the housing 111 can play a role in preventing shrinkage, so as to maintain the appearance integrity of the housing 111 and meet the appearance size requirements. During the reflow soldering process of the connector female socket 11, the auxiliary groove 111c can also play a role in preventing bubbling, so as to further ensure the appearance integrity of the housing 111 and meet the appearance size requirements.

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
