Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of 5G and 6G high-speed signal transmission technology, and in particular to a connector and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, especially communication technologies represented by 5G and 6G, electronic devices have become an indispensable part of people's lives. Connectors, as essential components of electronic devices, also play a crucial role. Connectors primarily ensure the smooth and continuous flow of current. A connector generally consists of a plug and a socket. The socket is typically soldered onto the electronic device, while the plug connects to other electronic components. The plug and socket work together to allow other electronic components to connect to the electronic device and perform a specific function. For example, multi-channel signal transmission devices, often acting as connectors, are frequently used in the circuit board of mobile phones to transmit multiple wireless communication signals. The socket of the channel signal transmission device is mounted on the phone's circuit board, and the plug connects to the signal wires. When the plug and socket are connected, the communication signals in the signal wires are transmitted to the phone's circuit board.

[0003] However, existing connectors still have several shortcomings that make their operation unreliable and unstable, all of which need further improvement. Firstly, existing connectors often use a pair of conductive contacts on one side of the plug and socket, which can easily reduce the reliability of the conductive connection and lead to current conduction failure. Secondly, existing connectors lack a retaining structure to keep the plug and socket relatively fixed during mating, resulting in low connector stability. During operation, the plug and socket are prone to relative movement or even detachment, causing unstable current conduction, especially for high-speed 5G and 6G signal transmissions where current stability is crucial, thus reducing high-speed transmission performance. Thirdly, the conductive contacts of the plug and socket in existing connectors cannot provide sufficient elastic contact force to maintain mutual abutment during mating, resulting in unreliable and loose contact between the conductive contacts, thus causing unstable current conduction.

[0049] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a connector, which includes a plug 1 and a socket 2; the plug 1 includes a plug insertion frame 10 and a plug insulator 11, the plug insertion frame 10 is disposed on the plug insulator 11, the plug insertion frame 10 includes a first plug insertion portion 100, and a pair of second plug insertion portions 101 extending away from the first plug insertion portion 100 are provided on opposite sides of the first plug insertion portion 100.

[0050] The socket 2 includes a socket insertion frame 20, a socket insulator 21, and a socket conduction fixing frame 22. The socket insertion frame 20 is disposed on the socket insulator 21 and includes a first socket insertion part 200.

[0055] 4. Separate or integrated design: The socket conductor fixing frame and the socket insertion frame can be separate or integrated. This design provides more flexible manufacturing and assembly methods, facilitating production and maintenance.

[0056] 5. Conductive snap-fit ​​design: The conductive snap-fit ​​on the socket's conductive fixing frame engages with the second plug's insertion part to form an electrical connection. This design ensures a stable electrical connection during use while also facilitating disassembly.

[0057] Overall, the connector structure improves the stability, reliability, and ease of use through reasonable plug and socket design and the use of conductive snap-fit.

[0058] For further variations, please combine Figures 12 to 15 The structure of the socket connection frame 20 is shown in the figure.

[0059] Specifically, please refer to Figure 12 The connection between the first socket insertion part 200 and the second socket insertion parts 201 on both sides differs from the bending and buckling process along the thickness direction of the sheet metal used in other embodiments of the present invention. Instead, it is processed by cold stamping and stretching, which has higher strength and better stability.

[0060] Similarly, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 The connecting arm 2010 in the second socket plug part 201 is made by cold stamping and stretching process, which has better strength and better stability.

[0061] It is understood that employing cold stamping technology in the first socket insertion portion 200 and / or the second socket insertion portion 201 has at least the following advantages:

[0062] 1. High productivity:

[0063] Cold stamping is generally a highly efficient production method. It allows for the rapid processing of large quantities of parts in a short time. This helps improve the production efficiency of sockets and reduce production costs.

[0064] 2. High precision and consistency:

[0065] Cold stamping provides high-precision machining, ensuring that the size and shape of each component of the socket are highly consistent. This is crucial for the interlocking and connection of plugs and sockets, reducing connection problems caused by size inconsistencies.

[0066] 3. Cost-effectiveness:

[0067] Cold stamping is generally more cost-effective than other manufacturing methods because it can complete multiple steps in a single processing step, reducing production time and resource costs.

[0068] 4. High strength and durability:

[0069] Socket components manufactured using cold stamping processes typically possess high strength and durability, ensuring a long product lifespan and reliability.

[0070] 5. Manufacturing complex shapes:

[0071] Cold stamping is suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes. Specific shapes and structures may be required in the connection parts of sockets, and cold stamping can flexibly meet these design requirements.

[0072] 6. Reduce waste:

[0073] Cold stamping typically minimizes raw material waste. Due to its efficient processing method, less waste is generated, contributing to increased sustainability and environmental friendliness.

[0074] 7. Suitable for mass production:

[0075] Cold stamping is particularly suitable for sockets that require mass production. It can meet the needs of high-volume production while maintaining product quality and consistency.

[0076] Overall, the cold stamping process provides advantages in terms of efficiency, precision, economy, strength, and durability at the connection between the first and second socket parts.

[0077] In one embodiment, the first plug insertion part 100 is configured as two separate parts, one part being integrally formed with the second plug insertion part 101, and the other part being integrally formed with another second plug insertion part 101.

[0078] Understandably, the above solution has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0079] 1. Modular Design: The first plug connector is designed in two parts, one part being integrally formed with a second plug connector, and the other part being integrally formed with another second plug connector, making the connector design more modular. This design helps simplify the manufacturing process, improve production efficiency, and also facilitates maintenance and replacement.

[0080] 2. Enhanced Flexibility: The modular design allows different parts of the first plug connector to be manufactured and assembled independently. This increases the connector's flexibility, allowing for customization to meet specific needs and adapt to different application scenarios and requirements.

[0081] 3. Cost-effectiveness: Modular design typically offers cost benefits. Manufacturers can manage production lines more effectively, reduce scrap rates, and better control costs. Simultaneously, modular design reduces the complexity of inventory and spare parts management, contributing to improved overall economic efficiency.

[0082] 4. Convenient maintenance and upgrades: When the connector requires maintenance or upgrades, only the damaged or upgraded module needs to be replaced, instead of replacing the entire connector. This reduces maintenance costs and extends the connector's lifespan.

[0083] 5. Improved adaptability: Different second plug connectors can be flexibly matched with different first plug connectors, making the connector more adaptable and able to meet the needs of different specifications and standards.

[0084] In summary, the modular design of the first plug connection part into two parts increases the connector's flexibility, ease of maintenance, and adaptability, while also bringing manufacturing and cost benefits.

[0088] 2. Adaptive Connection: The first conductive spring arm 224 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to deform elastically when the plug is inserted or removed. This adaptive design helps to compensate for the insertion / removal gap caused by wear and other factors during use, ensuring connection stability.

[0089] 3. Improved mating life: Because the first conductive spring arm 224 is integrally molded with the socket, its fixed end 2241 forms a more robust structure with the mating part. This helps reduce wear on components caused by frequent mating and removal, thus improving the connector's lifespan.

[0090] 4. Simplified manufacturing process: Integrating the first conductive spring arm 224 with the second socket insertion part 201 into a single unit simplifies the manufacturing process. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces potential manufacturing errors.

One-piece molding design option: The top plate 1000 of the first plug insertion portion 100 can be integrally molded with one of the top plate 1010, the first side plate 1011, and the second side plate 1012 of the second plug insertion portion 101, or the bending plate 1001 of the first plug insertion portion 100 can be integrally molded with the first side plate 1011 or the second side plate 1012 of the second plug insertion portion 101. This one-piece molding design option helps to simplify the manufacturing process and improve production efficiency.

[0099] Overall, the benefits of the above structural design include simplified manufacturing process, improved connector stability and strength, and reduced production costs.

[0100] Please combine Figure 4 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The second plug insertion portion 101 includes a top plate 1010, a first side plate 1011, and a second side plate 1012. The first side plate 1011 and the second side plate 1012 are spaced apart and opposite to each other. The top plate 1010 connects the first side plate 1011 and the second side plate 1012. The first side plate 1011 and / or the second side plate 1012 are provided with grooves 1013 or protrusions 1015 for engaging with the socket insertion frame 20. When the connector of this embodiment of the invention is mated, the groove 1013 of the plug 1 engages with the second conductive contact 2021 and the third conductive contact 2022 of the socket 2, thereby improving the stability of the connector connection.

[0101] Understandably, the above solution has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0102] 1. Top plate 1010 and parallel first side plates 1011 and second side plates 1012: This structural design provides stability and strength to the plug connection. Connecting the top plate 1010 with the spaced-apart first side plates 1011 and second side plates 1012 ensures structural stability during plug insertion and removal. 2. Grooves or protrusions for engaging the socket frame 20: Grooves or protrusions are provided on the first side plate 1011 and / or the second side plate 1012 for engaging with the socket frame 20. This design provides a reliable connection between the plug and socket, preventing accidental plug detachment during use and increasing connector reliability. Overall, the beneficial effects of these structural designs include improved connector stability, strength, and reliability. By using grooves or protrusions to engage the socket frame 20, the connector provides a more secure connection during use, reducing instability caused by external forces or vibrations.
