Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular relates to a multi-piece electrical connector. Background Technology

[0002] In modern electronic devices, electrical connectors are typically used to transmit signals. Due to the specific needs and development of electronic devices, the number and structure of the conductive terminals of electrical connectors are required to be customizable. However, once the current electrical connector design is completed, the number and structure of the conductive terminals are fixed and cannot be customized, making it difficult to meet the signal transmission requirements of electronic devices. This will limit the technological (functional) development of electronic devices.

[0003] In addition, there may be a need for electrical connection between multiple conductive terminals on an electrical connector. Currently, the industry can only choose to add jumpers that work with the electrical connector to achieve electrical connection between the conductive terminals on the connector. However, the addition of jumpers will occupy the internal space of electronic devices, thus preventing electronic devices from continuing to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller.

[0004] Therefore, how to customize the number and structure of conductive terminals of electrical connectors has become a technical issue that the industry urgently needs to overcome. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In particular, the proportional relationships and relative positions of the various elements in the illustrations are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual implementation of the present invention.

[0098] Please refer to the description of the embodiments disclosed in this invention. Figures 1 to 27 .

[0099] This invention provides a multi-piece electrical connector for transmitting signals, which is consistent with the present invention. Figures 3 to 5 as well as Figures 13 to 17 In the embodiment shown, the multi-piece electrical connector 1 includes a primary electrical connector sub-component 11, a secondary electrical connector sub-component 12, an assembly component 13, an outer shell component 14, a primary bridging conductive component 15, and a secondary bridging conductive component 16.

[0100] In this embodiment, the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 has a primary assembly structure 111. The secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 has a secondary assembly structure 121. The assembly member 13 respectively engages the primary assembly structure 111 and the secondary assembly structure 121, so that the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 are assembled into an electrical connector sub-component assembly B1.

[0101] For example, the assembly component 13 is made of conductive or insulating plastic and has a main side assembly sub-component 131 and a secondary side assembly sub-component 132. In the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1, the main side assembly sub-component 131 engages with the main side assembly structure 111 of the main side electrical connector sub-component 11, and the secondary side assembly sub-component 132 engages with the secondary side assembly structure 121 of the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12. More specifically, the main assembly sub-component 131 has a main assembly sub-component interference structure 1311, and the secondary assembly sub-component 132 has a secondary assembly sub-component interference structure 1321. In the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1, the main assembly sub-component interference structure 1311 interferes with the main assembly structure 111, so that the main assembly sub-component 131 and the main electrical connector sub-component 11 have a tight fit (i.e., interference fit) structural relationship. The secondary assembly sub-component interference structure 1321 interferes with the secondary assembly structure 121, so that the secondary assembly sub-component 132 and the secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 have a tight fit (i.e., interference fit) structural relationship.

[0102] In this embodiment, the main side assembly sub-component 131 and the secondary side assembly sub-component 132 are connected to form a single unit, but this is not a limitation thereof, and is applicable to the present invention. Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the main side assembly sub-component 131 and the secondary side assembly sub-component 132 are each composed of two components.

[0103] In this invention Figures 3 to 5 as well as Figures 21 to 24 In the illustrated embodiment, the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 is provided with a primary adhesive core 115, and the secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 is provided with a secondary adhesive core 125. In this embodiment, the outer shell component 14 has a receiving space 141 for receiving the primary adhesive core 115 and the secondary adhesive core 125. Accordingly, the primary adhesive core 115 has a primary fastening structure 1152, for example, a hook, and the secondary adhesive core 125 has a secondary fastening structure 1252, for example, a hook. When the primary adhesive core 115 and the secondary adhesive core 125 are received in the receiving space 141 of the outer shell component 14, the primary fastening structure 1152 and the secondary fastening structure 1252 are respectively used to fasten the outer shell component 14 to position the primary adhesive core 115 and the secondary adhesive core 125, so that the primary adhesive core 115 and the secondary adhesive core 125 are maintained within the outer shell component 14.

[0104] Additionally, the main side core 115 has a main side bonding block 1151, for example, a rectangular block, and the secondary side core 125 has a secondary side bonding block 1251, for example, a rectangular block. In the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1, the main side bonding block 1151 and the secondary side bonding block 1251 are adjacent, so that the main side assembly structure 111 can be matched with the secondary side assembly structure 121, and the main side electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 can be assembled into the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1.

[0105] In this embodiment, the main side bonding block 1151 of the main side electrical connector sub-component 11 has a main side X-direction assembly sub-structure 112, a main side Y-direction assembly sub-structure 113 and a main side Z-direction assembly sub-structure 114. Correspondingly, the secondary side bonding block 1251 of the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 has a secondary side X-direction assembly sub-structure 122, a secondary side Y-direction assembly sub-structure 123 and a secondary side Z-direction assembly sub-structure 124.

[0106] It should be noted that in the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1, such as Figures 21 to 24 As shown, the primary side joining block 1151 enters the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12, causing the primary side X-direction assembly sub-structure 112 to engage with the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 in the X direction, and also causing the primary side Y-direction assembly sub-structure 113 to engage with the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 in the Y direction. Additionally, the secondary side joining block 1251 enters the primary side electrical connector sub-component 11, causing the secondary side X-direction assembly sub-structure 122 to engage with the primary side electrical connector sub-component 11 in the X direction, and also causing the secondary side Y-direction assembly sub-structure 123 to engage with the primary side electrical connector sub-component 11 in the Y direction. Thus, the primary side electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 can be assembled into an electrical connector sub-component assembly B1. Figures 12 to 17 As shown, the assembly component 13 is respectively joined to the main side Z-direction assembly substructure 114 and the secondary side Z-direction assembly substructure 124 in the Z direction. In this way, the main side electrical connector substructure 11 and the secondary side electrical connector substructure 12 can be assembled into an electrical connector substructure assembly B1 by the assembly component 13.

[0107] In this embodiment, the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other. In the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1, the secondary Z-direction assembly sub-structure 124 and the primary Z-direction assembly sub-structure 114 are, for example, plug-in structures. Correspondingly, the assembly component 13 has a pin structure 133 to connect the secondary Z-direction assembly sub-structure 124 and the primary Z-direction assembly sub-structure 114 through the pin structure 133, thereby completing the assembly of the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary electrical connector sub-component 12. However, this is not a limitation. For example, the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 can be assembled by adhesive or snap-fit. Therefore, the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 can be assembled without omitting the assembly component 13. In the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1, the secondary Z-direction assembly substructure 124 and the primary Z-direction assembly substructure 114 can be arranged in a row to reduce the thickness of the assembly component 13, thereby reducing the size of the multi-piece electrical connector of the present invention, and enabling electronic devices using the multi-piece electrical connector of the present invention to continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller.

[0108] In this invention Figures 7 to 9 as well as Figure 27 In the illustrated embodiment, the primary electrical connector sub-component 11 is provided with at least one primary first conductive terminal 1161 and a plurality of primary second conductive terminals 1162 for transmitting conductive signals or grounding signals. The secondary electrical connector sub-component 12 is provided with at least one primary first conductive terminal 1261 and a plurality of secondary second conductive terminals 1262 for transmitting conductive signals or grounding signals. The primary bridging conductive member 15 crosses the primary first conductive terminal 1161 and abuts against each primary second conductive terminal 1162, so that the primary second conductive terminals 1162 are electrically connected to form a primary second conductive circuit. The secondary bridging conductive member 16 crosses the secondary first conductive terminal 1261 and abuts against each secondary second conductive terminal 1262, so that the secondary second conductive terminals 1262 are electrically connected to form a secondary second conductive circuit.

[0109] It should be noted that the primary second conductive circuit and the secondary second conductive circuit can be used to transmit grounding signals respectively, to meet the customized requirements of the electrical connector. Therefore, the present invention can achieve electrical connection between the conductive terminals on the upper part of the electrical connector without the need for additional jumpers by using the primary side bridging conductive member 15 or the secondary side bridging conductive member 16, thus allowing electronic devices using the multi-piece electrical connector of the present invention to continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller.

[0110] For example, such as Figure 4As shown, the primary-side bridging conductive member 15 has a primary-side bridging conductive member body 151 and a plurality of primary-side bridging conductive member spring arms 152. The secondary-side bridging conductive member 16 has a secondary-side bridging conductive member body 161 and a plurality of secondary-side bridging conductive member spring arms 162. The primary-side bridging conductive member body 151 is connected to each primary-side bridging conductive member spring arm 152, and each primary-side bridging conductive member spring arm 152 elastically abuts against one of the plurality of primary-side second conductive terminals 1162 to ensure the primary-side bridging conductive member 15 abuts against each primary-side second conductive terminal 1162. The secondary-side bridging conductive member body 161 is connected to each secondary-side bridging conductive member spring arm 162, and each secondary-side bridging conductive member spring arm 162 elastically abuts against one of the plurality of secondary-side second conductive terminals 1262 to ensure the secondary-side bridging conductive member 16 abuts against each secondary-side second conductive terminal 126. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the main side bridging conductive member body 151 can be positioned by the elastic contact of each main side bridging conductive member spring arm 152 with the main side second conductive terminal 1162, and the secondary side bridging conductive member body 161 can be positioned by the elastic contact of each secondary side bridging conductive member spring arm 162 with the secondary side second conductive terminal 1262.

[0111] In this invention Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the main-side bridging conductive member body 151 is connected to the secondary-side bridging conductive member body 161, allowing the main-side bridging conductive member 15 and the secondary-side bridging conductive member 16 to be integrally formed to constitute a bridging conductive assembly B2, enabling the main-side second conductive circuit to be electrically connected to the secondary-side second conductive circuit. For example, the bridging conductive assembly B2 can be formed by cutting and bending a plate-shaped metal conductor. Furthermore, the assembly member 13 is joined to the bridging conductive assembly B2 in the Z direction, so that the bridging conductive assembly B2 and the electrical connector sub-component assembly B1 are assembled as a single unit. This reduces the thickness of the assembly member 13, thereby reducing the size of the multi-piece electrical connector of the present invention, and allowing electronic devices using the multi-piece electrical connector of the present invention to continue to develop towards a thinner and smaller design.

[0112] It should be noted that, in the present invention Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the outer shell component 14 has a primary abutment structure 1421 and a secondary abutment structure 1422. The primary abutment structure 1421 is used to abut and position the primary first conductive terminal 1161 and each primary second conductive terminal 1162, thereby preventing the primary first conductive terminal 1161 and each primary second conductive terminal 1162 from undergoing subsidence deformation. The secondary abutment structure 1422 is used to abut and position the secondary first conductive terminal 1261 and each secondary second conductive terminal 1262, thereby preventing the secondary first conductive terminal 1261 and each secondary second conductive terminal 1262 from undergoing subsidence deformation.

[0113] In addition, the primary-side bridging conductive member 15 has a primary-side bridging conductive member interference structure 153, and the secondary-side bridging conductive member 16 has a secondary-side bridging conductive member interference structure 163. The primary-side bridging conductive member interference structure 153 and the secondary-side bridging conductive member interference structure 163 are respectively used to interfere and join the assembly member 13, thereby preventing the primary-side bridging conductive member 15 and the secondary-side bridging conductive member 16 from easily detaching from the assembly member 13 under force.

[0114] It should be noted that the multi-piece electrical connector 1 is constructed by assembling the main side electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 onto the outer shell component 14 through the assembly component 13. Therefore, after the electrical connector design is completed, the number and structure of the conductive terminals of the electrical connector can still be customized by adjusting the main side electrical connector sub-component 11 and the secondary side electrical connector sub-component 12 to meet the special needs and development of electronic equipment.

[0115] It should be noted that, in embodiments of the present invention, some of the aforementioned components may be omitted. For example, the outer shell component, the main-side bridging conductive component, and the secondary-side bridging conductive component may be omitted. That is, in embodiments of the present invention, the multi-piece electrical connector includes: a main-side electrical connector sub-component, a secondary-side electrical connector sub-component, and an assembly component.

[0116] The primary electrical connector sub-component has a primary assembly structure. The secondary electrical connector sub-component has a secondary assembly structure. The assembly components respectively engage the primary assembly structure and the secondary assembly structure to assemble the primary and secondary electrical connector sub-components into an electrical connector sub-component assembly. Therefore, after the electrical connector design is completed, the number and structure of the conductive terminals of the electrical connector can still be customized by adjusting the primary and secondary electrical connector sub-components.

[0117] In summary, the multi-piece electrical connector provided by this invention is constructed by assembling the main-side electrical connector sub-components and the secondary-side electrical connector sub-components onto the outer shell component through an assembly component. Therefore, after the electrical connector design is completed, the number and structure of the conductive terminals of the electrical connector can still be customized by adjusting the main-side electrical connector sub-components and the secondary-side electrical connector sub-components to meet the special needs and development of electronic devices.

[0118] Furthermore, the multi-piece electrical connector provided by the present invention can achieve electrical connection between the conductive terminals on the upper part of the electrical connector by bridging conductive components. Therefore, the present invention can achieve electrical connection between the conductive terminals on the upper part of the electrical connector without the need for additional bridging devices, thus enabling electronic devices equipped with the multi-piece electrical connector of the present invention to continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller.

[0119] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify and alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
