Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector technology, and more particularly to a horizontal Type-C female connector bent at a predetermined angle and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] USB interfaces come in three different form factors: Type-A, Type-B, and Type-C. Type-C is significantly smaller than both Type-A and Type-B and is the latest USB form factor standard. Furthermore, Type-C is an interface type that can be used with both host and external devices, supports reversible plugging, and is therefore widely used.

[0003] Type-C connectors include Type-C male connectors and Type-C female connectors. Type-C female connectors are further divided into vertical and horizontal types, with horizontal Type-C female connectors typically mounted on the motherboard of the terminal device. However, the protrusions of existing Type-C female connectors are relatively close to the motherboard, while some terminal devices require the protrusions of the Type-C female connectors to be positioned higher than the motherboard, and existing Type-C female connectors cannot meet these height requirements.

[0021] in,

[0022] The left plastic portion partially covers the vertical portion of the upper terminal block terminals;

[0023] The right plastic portion partially covers the vertical portion of the lower terminal block terminals.

[0024] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the ends of the horizontal portions of the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block are Z-shaped.

[0025] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the ends of the vertical portions of the terminals of the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block are wedge-shaped.

[0026] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the middle clip includes: a hook and a fixing part; wherein,

[0027] The hooks are positioned opposite each other on both sides of one end of the middle clip and are partially exposed outside the plastic body;

[0028] The fixing parts are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the other end of the middle clip, and the plastic body covers the fixing parts.

[0029] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a boss is provided at the position corresponding to the horizontal portion of the terminal block of the upper terminal block.

[0030] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a horizontal Type-C female connector bent at a predetermined angle as described above, comprising:

[0031] The upper terminal block and the lower terminal block are manufactured by stamping, and the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block are bent at a predetermined angle at the middle position by bending, so as to obtain the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block bent at a predetermined angle.

[0032] The middle clip is placed between the horizontal portions of the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block terminals;

[0033] Plastic parts are formed on the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block using injection molding process;

[0053] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a horizontal Type-C female connector that is bent at a predetermined angle.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a horizontal Type-C female connector bent at a predetermined angle, comprising: a housing 1, a plastic part 2, a middle clip 3, an upper terminal block 4, and a lower terminal block 5. The upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are bent at a predetermined angle at their midpoint, and are divided into horizontal and vertical terminals at the bending point. The horizontal terminals are used to connect to a Type-C male connector, and the vertical terminals are used to connect to the motherboard of a terminal device. The middle clip 3 is located between the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5. The plastic part 2 covers the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5, and the ends of the horizontal and vertical terminals of the upper and lower terminal blocks 4 and 5 are exposed outside the plastic part 2. The housing 1 is disposed on the plastic part 2.

[0055] Specifically, the outer casing 1 is a metal casing, and the bottom sides of the outer casing 1 have pins (not shown in the figure). The plastic part 2 is injection molded from plastic material, and the bottom of the plastic part 2 is also provided with pins (not shown in the figure). When the horizontal Type-C female connector is installed on the motherboard of the terminal device, while the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are connected to the motherboard of the terminal device, the pins of the outer casing 1 and the pins of the plastic part 2 are also inserted into the motherboard of the terminal device to stabilize the horizontal Type-C female connector.

[0056] The upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are arranged opposite to each other. The plastic part 2 covers the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5. The upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are respectively exposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the plastic part 2 to achieve the function of reversible blind insertion. No matter which side of the Type-C male connector is connected to the Type-C female connector, an electrical connection can be achieved to achieve the purpose of charging or data transmission. The middle clip 3, as a skeleton, is located between the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 and can play a supporting role. The middle clip 3 is partially exposed on the plastic part 2. When the Type-C male connector is connected to the Type-C female connector, the Type-C male connector is connected to the middle clip 3, which can not only play a role in securing the connection, but also achieve the purpose of grounding.

[0057] The upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are bent at a predetermined angle along the middle position, for example, at 90°. In this way, when the end of the horizontal Type-C female connector needs to be positioned higher than the motherboard of the terminal device, the length of the terminal block can be increased, and then a bending process can be used to bend it from the middle position of the terminal block, so that the end of the horizontal Type-C female connector can meet the height requirements.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a further embodiment of one example, the plastic part 2 includes: a plastic body 21, a horizontal plastic portion 22, and a vertical plastic portion 23. The horizontal plastic portion 22 partially covers the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5; the vertical plastic portion 23 partially covers the vertical terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5; and the plastic body 21 covers the horizontal plastic portion 22 and the vertical plastic portion 23.

[0059] Specifically, the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5, which are bent at 90°, are divided into horizontal and vertical terminals along the bending position. The horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are embedded in the horizontal plastic part 22, and their upper surfaces are exposed on the upper surface of the horizontal plastic part 22. The vertical terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are embedded in the vertical plastic part 23, and their lower surfaces are exposed on the lower surface of the vertical plastic part 23.

[0060] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In a further embodiment of one example, the horizontal plastic portion 22 includes an upper plastic portion 221 and a lower plastic portion 222. The upper plastic portion 221 partially covers the horizontal portion of the terminals of the upper terminal block 4; the lower plastic portion 222 partially covers the horizontal portion of the terminals of the lower terminal block 5.

[0061] Furthermore, the vertical plastic portion 23 includes a left plastic portion 231 and a right plastic portion 232. The left plastic portion 231 partially covers the vertical portion of the upper terminal block 4; the right plastic portion 232 partially covers the vertical portion of the lower terminal block 5.

[0062] Specifically, the horizontal plastic part 22 is composed of an upper plastic part 221 and a lower plastic part 222, and the vertical plastic part 23 is composed of a left plastic part 231 and a right plastic part 232. During the injection process, the upper surface of the upper terminal block 4 is first coated with plastic to obtain the upper plastic part 221 and the left plastic part 231. Then, the lower surfaces of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are coated with plastic to obtain the lower plastic part 222 and the right plastic part 232. By coating the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 twice, the process requirements and the requirements for the mold can be reduced.

[0063] Please see Figure 4 In a further embodiment of one example, the lower plastic part 222 is provided with a boss 223 at the position corresponding to the horizontal part terminal of the upper terminal block 4.

[0064] Specifically, since the middle clip 3 is made of metal, to prevent a short circuit between the middle clip 3 and the positive terminal of the upper terminal block 4 or the lower terminal block 5, the middle position of the middle clip 3 is usually hollowed out. However, this reduces the strength of the Type-C female connector end and makes it prone to breakage. By providing the boss 223 on the lower plastic part 222, the boss 223 can fill and support the hollowed-out position of the middle clip 3, thereby preventing the Type-C female connector from breaking. In some embodiments, two bosses 223 are provided and are spaced apart on the lower plastic part 222.

[0065] Please see Figure 3 In a further embodiment of one example, the ends of the horizontal portions of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are Z-shaped.

[0066] Specifically, the ends of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 that connect to the Type-C male connector are Z-shaped, that is, the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are arched. After the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are encapsulated, the ends of the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 can be embedded in the horizontal plastic part 22, while the remaining parts can be exposed outside the horizontal plastic part 22 to achieve connection with the Type-C male connector.

[0067] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In a further embodiment of one example, the ends of the vertical portions of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are wedge-shaped.

[0068] Specifically, when the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are connected to the motherboard of the terminal device, the ends of the vertical terminals of the upper terminal block 4 and the lower terminal block 5 are wedge-shaped, which facilitates insertion into the motherboard of the terminal device to achieve connection.

[0069] Please see Figure 5 In a further embodiment of one example, the middle clip 3 includes: hooks 31 and fixing portions 32. The hooks 31 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of one end of the middle clip 3 and partially exposed outside the plastic body 21; the fixing portions 32 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the other end of the middle clip 3, and the plastic body 21 covers the fixing portions 32.

[0070] Specifically, the fixing part 32 is located at the end of the middle clip 3. The fixing part 32 has a square block structure. The plastic body 21 covers the fixing part 32, which makes the connection between the horizontal plastic part 22 and the vertical plastic part 23 more stable. After the Type-C male is inserted into the Type-C female, the hook 31 can play a locking role.

[0071] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a horizontal Type-C female connector bent at a predetermined angle, comprising the steps of:

[0072] S100. The upper terminal block and the lower terminal block are manufactured by stamping process, and the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block are bent at the middle position at a predetermined angle by bending process to obtain the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block bent at the predetermined angle.

[0073] S200. Place the middle clip between the horizontal terminals of the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block;

[0074] S300. Plastic parts are formed on the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block using injection molding process;

[0075] S400, Install the outer casing onto the plastic part.

[0076] Specifically, the upper and lower terminal blocks are first manufactured using a stamping process. Then, a bending process is used to bend the upper and lower terminal blocks at a predetermined angle, such as 90°, at their midpoint, resulting in the bent upper and lower terminal blocks. Next, a middle clip is placed between the horizontal terminals of the upper and lower terminal blocks, and then an injection molding process is used to form a plastic part on the upper and lower terminal blocks. Finally, a pre-made housing is installed onto the plastic part to obtain a horizontal Type-C female connector bent at the predetermined angle. Because the terminal block length of the horizontal Type-C female connector bent at the predetermined angle needs to be increased, two glue injection steps are required to complete the encapsulation process. If the terminal block is encapsulated first and then bent, deformation is likely to occur, causing mold damage or poor manufacturing. Therefore, bending the terminal block first and then encapsulating it avoids the problem of terminal block deformation.

[0077] In a further embodiment of one example, step S300 includes:

[0078] S310, First coating: forming an upper plastic portion and a left plastic portion on the upper terminal block;

[0079] S320, Second coating, forming a lower plastic part and a right plastic part on the lower terminal block;

[0080] S330, Third coating: A plastic body is formed by the upper terminal block, the lower terminal block, the upper plastic part, the lower plastic part, the left injection part, and the right plastic part.

[0081] Specifically, because the total length of the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block is relatively long, the upper terminal block and the lower terminal block need to be glued in three stages. The internal horizontal plastic part and the vertical plastic part are glued in two stages. Specifically, the upper plastic part and the left plastic part of the upper terminal block are glued in the first stage, and the lower plastic part and the right plastic part of the lower terminal block are glued in the second stage. Then, the third stage of glue injection is performed to complete the glue injection of the plastic body.

[0082] In summary, the horizontal Type-C female connector with a predetermined angle of bending and its manufacturing method provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0083] The terminal block of the horizontal Type-C female connector provided by the present invention is a terminal block bent at a predetermined angle. In this way, when the end of the horizontal Type-C female connector needs to be at a higher position relative to the motherboard of the terminal device, the length of the terminal block can be increased, and then a bending process is used to bend it from the middle position of the terminal block, so that the end of the horizontal Type-C female connector can meet the height requirements.

[0084] First, the upper and lower terminal blocks are manufactured using a stamping process. Then, the upper and lower terminal blocks are bent at a predetermined angle at the middle position using a bending process to obtain upper and lower terminal blocks bent at a predetermined angle. This avoids the problem of terminal block deformation that occurs when the terminal blocks are bent first and then coated with glue.

[0085] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the examples above. Those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
