Description

Technical Field

[0001] This case relates to a grounding structure, and more particularly to a hanging grounding structure, which simplifies the connection of grounding wires, ensures that the grounding wires meet the connection requirements, maintains a stable grounding wire, and prevents the grounding wires from falling off. Background Technology

[0002] Grounding is commonly used in electronic applications. When circuits in electronic devices are grounded, a large conductor is connected to the power supply side, such as the ground plane on a printed circuit board, serving as a common return path for current from different components in the circuit. Additionally, the connection between a grounding wire and a metal casing is also a common grounding structure.

[0003] Traditional grounding structures that connect the grounding conductor to the metal casing often use either screws or clamps to press the grounding wire into place. The screw-based method requires additional screw material, increasing material costs and production time, and is also difficult to automate. The clamping method requires specialized fixtures for fixation, again increasing material costs, complexity, and manufacturing costs, and is also difficult to automate.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a hanging grounding structure, which can simplify the connection of grounding wires, ensure that the grounding wires meet the connection requirements, maintain a stable grounding wire, and prevent the grounding wires from falling off, so as to solve the deficiencies of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hook-and-loop grounding structure. The inclined hook-and-loop groove simplifies the process of connecting the grounding wire to the housing. The hook-and-loop groove adopts a multi-segment design, forming a curved path from the starting point to the ending point. The direction of the inclination is designed according to the direction of the grounding wire connection, ensuring that the grounding wire meets the connection requirements, maintaining a stable grounding wire, and preventing the grounding wire from falling off. Furthermore, the hook-and-loop groove is located in a recessed area outside the housing, forming a curved path from the starting point to the ending point. When the grounding wire is fixed in the hook-and-loop groove, one end of the grounding wire can be exposed outside the housing through the groove, facilitating confirmation of the connection between the grounding wire and the housing. On the other hand, after the top cover of the housing is assembled, the end of the grounding wire exposed through the hook-and-loop groove remains at least partially exposed and is not completely covered by the top cover. The top cover has perforations corresponding to the hook-and-loop groove, facilitating confirmation of the connection between the grounding wire and the housing. In addition, the top cover is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the mounting groove and the recessed part, so that when the top cover of the shell is assembled, the protrusion abuts against the grounding wire in the recessed part, ensuring that the grounding wire is locked and secured in the protrusion and groove, maintaining the grounding wire firmly, and preventing the grounding wire from falling off.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this invention provides a grounding structure with a mounting bracket, comprising a housing, a recessed portion, and a mounting groove. The housing includes an opening and a sidewall. The opening faces a first direction, and at least one sidewall extends along a second direction, the first and second directions being perpendicular to each other. The sidewall has a top edge located at the periphery of the opening. The recessed portion is recessed into the sidewall from the outside of the housing inward.

[0073] Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 An exploded view of the structure of the hanging grounding structure of the first embodiment of this case is shown. Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the hanging grounding structure of the first embodiment of this case is shown. Figure 4 for Figure 3Enlarged view of region P1. In this embodiment, the grounding structure 1 (hereinafter referred to as the grounding structure) includes a housing 10, a recess 34, and a mounting groove 30. The housing 10 is made of a conductive metal material, for example, and the grounding structure 1 is used to connect an internal grounding wire 20 to the housing 10. In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a receiving space 11, an opening 110, and a side wall 12. The receiving space 11 is configured to receive a circuit board 22, and the receiving space 11 is connected to the outside of the housing 10 through the opening 110 and the mounting groove 30. A fixed end of the grounding wire 20 is connected to the circuit board 22, and the circuit board 22 can be connected to the outside through an external wire 14, but this is not a limitation. In this embodiment, the opening 110 faces a first direction, for example, the Z-axis direction, and the side wall 12 extends along a second direction, for example, the X-axis direction, with the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the side wall 12 has a top edge 13, which is located at the periphery of the opening 110. The recessed portion 34 is recessed from the outside of the housing 10 into the side wall 12 and the top edge 13. The mounting groove 30 is disposed on the side wall 12 and located in the recessed portion 34, and is used to connect the grounding wire 20 from the circuit board 22 to the housing 10 to form a grounding structure 1. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 30 includes a starting point S and an ending point E. The starting point S is located at the top edge 13, and the path from the starting point S to the ending point E is a curved path P. In this embodiment, the curved path P of the mounting groove 30 includes a first latching segment 31, a second latching segment 32, and a fixing segment 33 in sequence from the starting point S to the ending point E. The opening 110 is connected to the fixing segment 33 at the top edge 13 through the first latching segment 31 and the second latching segment 32, and the first latching segment 31, the second latching segment 32, and the fixing segment 33 are staggered in a first direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction) and a second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction), respectively. The mounting groove 30 is inclined relative to the top edge 13 of the side wall 12 in the first direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction) and the second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction), and is not perpendicular to the Z-axis or X-axis direction. In this embodiment, the grounding wire 20 overlaps the fixing section 33 of the mounting groove 30 from inside the housing 10 along the first and second directions, and one end 21 of the grounding wire 20 is exposed in the groove 34 through the fixing section 33. It should be noted that the grounding wire 20 can be grasped manually or by automated mechanical equipment, spanning the mounting groove 30, keeping the end 21 extending outside the housing 10. Then, from bottom to top, the bridging point of the grounding wire 20 is passed through the first snap-fit ​​section 31 and the second snap-fit ​​section 32, and then into the fixing section 33 for locking, thus completing the overlap of the grounding wire 20, and exposing the end 21 of the grounding wire 20 in the groove 34 through the fixing section 33, making it easy to confirm the connection between the grounding wire 20 and the housing 10.

[0074] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the relative dimensions of the mounting trench in each section of the first embodiment of the grounding structure. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the mounting groove 30 is inclined relative to the top edge 13 of the side wall 12 of the housing 10 in a first direction, such as the Z-axis, and in a second direction, such as the X-axis. Furthermore, the first latching segment 31, the second latching segment 32, and the fixing segment 33 on the curved path P, from the starting point S to the ending point E, sequentially increase their distance from the top edge 13 along the second direction (i.e., the X-axis). The first latching segment 31, the second latching segment 32, and the fixing segment 33 are arranged and connected, for example, horizontally inclined at an angle θ, where the angle θ ranges from 30° to 60°. It is noteworthy that the grounding wire 20 extends from the circuit board 22 along the first direction (i.e., the Z-axis) and the second direction (i.e., the X-axis). The curved path P of the mounting groove 30, consisting of the first latching segment 31, the second latching segment 32, and the fixing segment 33, is designed in a multi-segment manner, and the inclination direction from the starting point S to the ending point E is designed according to the overlapping direction of the grounding wire 20, ensuring that the grounding wire 20 meets the overlapping requirements, maintaining a stable grounding wire 20, and preventing the grounding wire 20 from falling off. Furthermore, the mounting groove 30 is provided in the recessed portion 34 outside the housing 10. When the grounding wire 20 is fixed to the mounting groove 30, the end 21 of the grounding wire 20 can be exposed outside the housing 10 through the mounting groove 30, making it easy to confirm the connection between the grounding wire 20 and the housing 10. In another direction, the first latching section 31 has a first gap distance d1, the second latching section 32 has a second gap distance d2, and the fixing section 33 has a third gap distance d3. To ensure that the grounding wire 20 can be smoothly connected to the mounting groove 30 and fixed to the fixing section 33, and to prevent the grounding wire 20 from falling off, the first gap distance d1 and the second gap distance d2 are, for example, 0.8 mm, and the third gap distance d2 is greater than, for example, 0.6 mm. The grounding wire 20 has a wire diameter D, for example, 1 mm, that is, the wire diameter D is greater than the first gap distance d1, the second gap distance d2, and the third gap distance d3, respectively. Therefore, the design of the mounting trench 30 helps to ensure that the grounding wire 20 meets the splicing requirements, maintains the grounding wire 20 securely, and prevents the grounding wire 20 from falling off.

[0075] In this embodiment, the housing 10 further includes a top cover 40, spatially opposite the opening 110 and the top edge 13. The housing 10 includes, for example, a first fastener 15, and the top cover 40 includes, for example, a second fastener 42, which are spatially opposite each other. When the first and second fasteners engage, the top cover 40 is fixed to the housing 10, covering the opening 110 and the top edge 13. It is noteworthy that when the top cover 40 covers the opening 110 and the top edge 13, the grounding wire 20 is exposed at the end 21 of the recess 34 through the fixing section 33 of the mounting groove 30, at least partially remaining exposed and not covered by the corresponding sidewall 41 of the top cover 40. Figure 4 As shown, this facilitates confirmation of the connection between the grounding conductor 20 and the housing 10 in the grounding structure 1.

[0076] Figure 6 and Figure 7 An exploded view of the structure of the hanging grounding structure of the second embodiment of this case is shown. Figure 8 for Figure 7 Enlarged view of region P2 in the middle. In this embodiment, the grounding structure 1a and... Figures 1 to 5 The grounding structure 1 shown is similar, and the same component designations represent the same components, structures, and functions, which will not be described again here. In this embodiment, the top cover 40 also includes a through hole 43, which is disposed on one side wall 41 of the top cover 40, spatially relative to the mounting groove 30. When the top cover 40 covers the opening 110 and the top edge 13 of the housing 10, the grounding wire 20 is partially exposed to the outside of the top cover 40 through the through hole 43. Thus, after the top cover 40 of the housing 10 is assembled, the grounding wire 20 can also be partially exposed to the outside of the top cover 40 through the through hole 43, such as... Figure 8 As shown, this makes it easier to confirm the connection between the grounding conductor 20 and the housing 10 in the grounding structure 1a.

[0077] Figure 9 and Figure 10 An exploded view of the structure of the hanging grounding structure in the third embodiment of this case is shown. Figure 11 for Figure 10 Enlarged view of region P3 in the middle. In this embodiment, grounding structure 1b and Figures 1 to 5 The grounding structure 1 shown is similar, and the same component designations represent the same components, structures, and functions, which will not be described again here. In this embodiment, the top cover 40 also includes a protrusion 44, disposed on one side wall 41 of the top cover 40, spatially opposite the recess 34 and the mounting groove 30. In this embodiment, the shape of the protrusion 44 more closely corresponds to the shape of the recess 34. When the top cover 40 is fixed to the housing 10 by the first fastener 15 and the second fastener 42, the protrusion 44 slides into the recess 34 and mates with it. When the top cover 40 covers the opening 110 and the top edge 13 of the housing 10, the protrusion 44 abuts against the grounding wire 20 and is exposed at the end 21 of the recess 34 through the fixing section 33. In other words, the protrusion 44 and the recess 34 mate with each other to clamp the end 21 of the grounding conductor 20, ensuring that the end 21 of the grounding wire 20 is limited and locked in the protrusion 34, maintaining a stable grounding wire 20, and preventing the grounding wire 20 from falling off. In this embodiment, the top cover 40 also has a through hole 43 on its side wall 41, which extends through the protrusion 44. Therefore, after the top cover 40 of the housing 10 is assembled, the grounding wire 20 can also be partially exposed outside the top cover 40 through the through hole 43, such as... Figure 11 As shown, this makes it easier to confirm the connection between the grounding conductor 20 and the housing 10 in the grounding structure 1b.

[0078] Figure 12 and Figure 13An exploded view of the structure of the hanging grounding structure in the fourth embodiment of this case is shown. Figure 14 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the hanging grounding structure of the fourth embodiment of this case is shown. Figure 15 for Figure 14 Enlarged view of region P4 in the middle. In this embodiment, the grounding structure 1c and... Figures 1 to 5 The grounding structure 1 shown is similar, and the same component designations represent the same components, structures, and functions, which will not be described again here. Unlike the first embodiment, where the mounting groove 30 is located on the long side wall 12, in this embodiment, the mounting groove 30 is located on the short side wall 12a. The side wall 12a extends along a second direction, such as the Y-axis, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the side wall 12a has a top edge 13a, which is located at the periphery of the opening 110. The groove portion 34 is recessed from the outside of the housing 10 into the side wall 12a and the top edge 13a. The mounting groove 30 is located on the short side wall 12a and in the groove portion 34, and is used to connect the grounding wire 20 from the circuit board 22 to the housing 10 to form the grounding structure 1c. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 30 has a starting point S and an ending point E. The starting point S is located at the top edge 13, and the path from the starting point S to the ending point E is a curved path P. In this embodiment, the bending path P of the mounting groove 30 sequentially includes a first snap-fit ​​segment 31, a second snap-fit ​​segment 32, and a fixing segment 33 from the starting point S to the ending point E. The opening 110 is connected to the fixing segment 33 at its top edge 13a through the first snap-fit ​​segment 31 and the second snap-fit ​​segment 32, and the first snap-fit ​​segment 31, the second snap-fit ​​segment 32, and the fixing segment 33 are respectively staggered in the first direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction) and the second direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction). That is, the mounting groove 30 is inclined relative to the top edge 13a of the sidewall 12a in the first direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction) and the second direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction), and is not perpendicular to the Z-axis direction or the Y-axis direction. In this embodiment, the grounding wire 20 is connected to the fixed section 33 of the hanging groove 30 from inside the housing 10 along the first direction and the second direction. One end 21 of the grounding wire 20 is exposed in the groove 34 through the fixed section 33, which facilitates confirmation of the connection between the grounding wire 20 and the housing 10 in the grounding structure 1c.

[0079] In this embodiment, the top cover 40 further includes a protrusion 44a disposed on a short side wall 41a of the top cover 40, spatially opposite the recess 34 and the mounting groove 30. When the top cover 40 covers the opening 110 and the top edge 13 of the housing 10, the protrusion 44a abuts against the end 21 of the recess 34 through the fixing section 33, ensuring that the end 21 of the grounding wire 20 is limited and locked within the protrusion 34, maintaining the grounding wire 20 securely, and preventing the grounding wire 20 from falling off. In this embodiment, the top cover 40 also has a through hole 43a on the side wall 41a, which penetrates the protrusion 44a. Therefore, after the top cover 40 of the housing 10 is assembled, the grounding wire 20 can also be partially exposed outside the top cover 40 through the through hole 43a, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this makes it easier to confirm the connection between the grounding conductor 20 and the housing 10 in the grounding structure 1c.

[0080] Figure 16 This diagram illustrates the relative dimensions of the mounting trench in each section of the fourth embodiment of the grounding structure. Figures 12 to 16As shown, the bending path P of the mounting groove 30 from the starting point S to the ending point E is inclined relative to the top edge 13a of the side wall 12a of the housing 10 in a first direction, such as the Z-axis, and a second direction, such as the Y-axis. Furthermore, along the bending path P from the starting point S to the ending point E, the first latching segment 31, the second latching segment 32, and the fixing segment 33 sequentially increase their distance from the top edge 13a along the second direction (i.e., the Y-axis). The first latching segment 31, the second latching segment 32, and the fixing segment 33 are arranged and connected, for example, horizontally inclined at an angle θ, where the angle θ ranges from 30° to 60°. It is worth noting that the grounding wire 20 extends from the circuit board 22 along the first direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction) and the second direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction). The first snap-fit ​​section 31, the second snap-fit ​​section 32, and the fixing section 33 of the mounting groove 30 adopt a multi-segment design to form a curved path P, and the inclination direction is designed according to the overlapping direction of the grounding wire 20 to ensure that the grounding wire 20 meets the overlapping requirements, maintains the stability of the grounding wire 20, and prevents the grounding wire 20 from falling off. In addition, the mounting groove 30 is provided in the groove portion 34 outside the housing 10. When the grounding wire 20 is fixed to the mounting groove 30, the end 21 of the grounding wire 20 can be exposed outside the housing 10 through the mounting groove 30, making it easy to confirm the connection between the grounding wire 20 and the housing 10. In another direction, the first latching section 31 has a first gap distance d1, the second latching section 32 has a second gap distance d2, and the fixing section 33 has a third gap distance d3. To ensure that the grounding wire 20 can be smoothly connected to the mounting trench 30, fixed to the fixing section 33, and to prevent the grounding wire 20 from falling off, the first gap distance d1 and the second gap distance d2 are, for example, 0.8 mm, and the third gap distance d2 is greater than, for example, 0.6 mm. The grounding wire 20 has a wire diameter D, for example, 1 mm, meaning the wire diameter D is greater than the first gap distance d1, the second gap distance d2, and the third gap distance d3, respectively. Therefore, the design of the mounting trench 30 helps ensure that the grounding wire 20 meets the connection requirements, maintains a stable grounding wire 20, and prevents the grounding wire 20 from falling off.

[0081] In summary, this invention provides a hanging grounding structure. The inclined hanging groove simplifies the process of connecting the grounding wire to the housing. The hanging groove adopts a multi-segment design, forming a curved path from the starting point to the ending point. The direction of the inclination is designed according to the direction of the grounding wire connection, ensuring that the grounding wire meets the connection requirements, maintaining a stable grounding wire, and preventing the grounding wire from falling off. Furthermore, the hanging groove is located in a recessed area outside the housing, forming a curved path from the starting point to the ending point. When the grounding wire is fixed in the hanging groove, one end of the grounding wire can be exposed outside the housing through the groove, facilitating confirmation of the connection between the grounding wire and the housing. On the other hand, after the top cover of the housing is assembled, the end of the grounding wire exposed through the hanging groove remains at least partially exposed and is not completely covered by the top cover. The top cover has perforations corresponding to the hanging groove, facilitating confirmation of the connection between the grounding wire and the housing. In addition, the top cover is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the mounting groove and the recessed part, so that when the top cover of the shell is assembled, the protrusion abuts against the grounding wire in the recessed part, ensuring that the grounding wire is limited and locked in the protrusion and groove, maintaining the grounding wire securely, and preventing the grounding wire from falling off.

[0082] This case may be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art, but none of them shall depart from the protection sought by the claims.
