Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of general interface technology for electronic devices, and in particular to a connector and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) and HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), are common interfaces in electronic devices, often used for charging and / or data transmission. Since connectors are frequently plugged and unplugged, if the connection between the connector and the PCB board of the electronic device is only soldered, the solder can easily become loose and the connection can fail after repeated plugging and unplugging.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as USB interfaces, a steel plate is typically used to clamp the USB port between the device housing and the steel plate is fixed by screws on both sides. However, this steel plate fixing structure utilizes the gap between the interface and the device housing, but it is difficult to use when the whole device is made thinner and lighter.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need in the market for a fixing structure for connectors that can be used in thinner and lighter devices. Summary of the Invention

[0023] In one possible implementation, the plurality of fasteners further includes a third fastener.

[0052] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0053] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a connector, which includes a housing 11 and a plurality of fasteners 2; the housing 11 has an opening 111, and the opening 111 is formed in at least a portion of the housing 11, allowing an external connector to engage with the connector along the opening channel formed by the opening 111; the plurality of fasteners 2 extend outward from the outer surface of the housing 11 by a predetermined distance; wherein the plurality of fasteners 2 can form a clamping gap 201, the clamping gap 201 being used to clamp and fix the two side surfaces of the connector mounting plate 3.

[0055] The connectors provided in this disclosure can be, but are not limited to, used in laptops, tablets, or some other electronic devices for USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) interfaces, Type-C interfaces, Ethernet interfaces, microphone / headphone interfaces, or power cord interfaces.

[0056] During the actual installation and fixing of the connector, the connector housing 11 is first pre-positioned in the designated position of the connector mounting plate 3. Multiple fasteners 2 extending outward from the outer surface of the housing 11 then abut against the two side surfaces of the connector mounting plate 3 without gaps. These fasteners 2 form a clamping gap 201 that clamps and limits the connector mounting plate 3 along its thickness direction, thus achieving installation and fixing of the housing 11 and the connector mounting plate 3 in the thickness direction. Next, the peripheral edges of the multiple fasteners 2 can be fixed to the two side surfaces of the connector mounting plate 3 respectively using spot welding, adhesive bonding, screwing, or snap-fit ​​methods. This achieves installation and fixing of the housing 11 and the connector mounting plate 3 in the length and width directions, thus ensuring a stable and fixed connection between the connector and the connector mounting plate 3 in three dimensions.

[0057] Further integration Figure 6 To elaborate further, since the housing 11 clamps and fixes the connector mounting plate 3 by means of multiple fasteners 2 extending outward from its outer surface, the center layer of the housing 11 and the center layer of the connector mounting plate 3 can be completely overlapped. That is, both sides of the housing 11 can protrude at the same height from the side surfaces of the connector mounting plate 3. Furthermore, the maximum gap between the multiple fasteners 2 can be denoted as L, and the maximum thickness of the housing 11 as H, with L < H. This ensures that after the multiple fasteners 2 are fixedly connected to the connector mounting plate 3, they do not occupy additional thickness space.

[0058] Compared with the existing USB interface installation method that uses a steel plate to clamp the USB between the device housing, the connector provided in this embodiment, when used as a USB interface, can achieve a completely centered and flush installation with the connector mounting plate 3 in the thickness direction by using only multiple fixing parts 2 in the connector housing 11. It will not occupy any extra thickness space after installation and fixation, effectively solving the problem that the existing USB interface fixing method cannot be applied to thin and light electronic devices.

[0059] In addition, it is worth noting that when the connector is fixedly installed with the connector mounting plate 3 by the multiple fasteners 2 in its housing 11, the connector can achieve electrical conduction with the circuit elements in the connector mounting plate 3 through its own electrical terminals, so as to ensure the normal electrical signal transmission function of the connector.

[0060] Of course, the connectors provided in this embodiment can also be used in other interfaces such as HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), Type-C interface, Ethernet interface, microphone / headphone interface, or power cord interface, and can also achieve the beneficial effects of not occupying additional thickness space, achieving flattened interface thickness size, and fully adapting to thin and light electronic devices.

[0061] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the fixed connection between the fixing member 2 and the connector mounting plate 3 in the housing 11, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust its type according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situations described in the above embodiments.

[0062] In one embodiment, the plurality of fasteners 2 include a first fastener 21 and a second fastener 22; the first fastener 21 extends outward from the outer surface of the housing 11 and has a first connecting surface 211 corresponding to a first plane; the second fastener 22 extends outward from the outer surface of the housing 11 and has a second connecting surface 221 corresponding to a second plane; the first connecting surface 211 and the second connecting surface 221 are parallel and form a clamping gap 201.

[0063] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 In further detail, the multiple fasteners 2 are specifically configured to include a first fastener 21 and a second fastener 22. The first fastener 21 has a first connecting surface 211 located in a first plane, and the second fastener 22 has a second connecting surface 221 located in a second plane. The first connecting surface 211 and the second connecting surface 221 are parallel, thus forming a clamping gap 201 of equal thickness, which is used to clamp and fix the two sides of the connector mounting plate 3 along the thickness direction of the connector mounting plate 3.

[0064] Furthermore, the shape and size of the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 can be adapted and adjusted according to the shape and size of the installation position in the connector mounting plate 3. For example, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 can be set in the shape of a plate, strip, dovetail, arrow, or barb, etc. In this way, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 can not only tightly abut against the two sides of the connector mounting plate 3, but also further achieve pre-installation and fixation with the two sides of the connector mounting plate 3 by setting a corresponding snap-fit ​​structure in the connector mounting plate 3, so as to ensure that the connector can be accurately installed and fixed in the connector mounting plate 3.

[0065] Moreover, the above Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this case, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 are set separately, but they can also be set as a whole. For example, but not limited to, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 are set into a U-shaped structure by connecting structural members, and the first connecting surface 211 and the second connecting surface 221 are located on the inner wall surface of the U-shaped structure. This can also achieve the requirement that the two are parallel and form a clamping gap 201.

[0066] Of course, the fastener 2 specifically includes a first fastener 21 and a second fastener 22; the first fastener 21 has a first connecting surface 211, or the first connecting surface 211 can extend outward from the outer surface of the housing 11 along the first plane. The structure of the first fastener 21 can be adapted and adjusted according to the shape of the specific installation space, or other mounting holes, protrusions or rib structures can be opened in the first fastener 21 to better install with the connector mounting plate 3.

[0067] Similarly, the second fastener 22 has a second connecting surface 221, or only the second connecting surface 221 can extend outward from the outer surface of the housing 11 along the second plane; the structure of the second fastener 22 itself can be adapted and adjusted according to the shape of the specific installation space, or other mounting holes, protrusions or rib structures can be correspondingly opened in the second fastener 22 to better install with the connector mounting plate 3.

[0068] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the relative positions of the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust their distribution according to actual conditions. The above is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but it is not limited to the situations described in the above embodiments.

[0069] In one embodiment, the housing 11 has two sidewalls that are arranged opposite each other along the opening channel direction; the two sidewalls are respectively provided with a first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22; the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 are arranged alternately and at intervals along the opening channel direction.

[0070] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 In further detail, in the two side walls of the housing 11 arranged opposite each other along the opening channel direction, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 are respectively arranged alternately along the opening channel direction. In this way, the first connecting surface 211 in the first fixing member 21 and the second connecting surface 221 in the second fixing member 22 can form a spatial structure of "one above the other, interlaced with each other". This allows the first connecting surface 211 and the second connecting surface 221 to be fixedly connected to the two side plates of the connector mounting plate 3 in a staggered manner. In particular, when multiple fixing members 2 are fixedly connected to the connector mounting plate 3 by spot welding, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 with the spatial structure of "one above the other, interlaced with each other" can effectively avoid the risk of soldering through the connector mounting plate 3 and further improve the reliability of the fixed connection between the housing 11 and the connector mounting plate 3.

[0071] Of course, the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 can also be fixedly connected to the connector mounting plate 3 in other ways, as long as it can be ensured that the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22 will not exceed the thickness of the housing 11 in the thickness direction after being fixedly connected to the connector mounting plate 3.

[0072] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the actual setting method of the first fixing member 21 and the second fixing member 22, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust their setting method according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situation described in the above embodiments.

[0073] In one embodiment, the first fixing member 21 is plate-shaped and integrally formed with the housing 11.

[0074] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In further detail, the first fixing member 21 can be set as a plate, including but not limited to square plate, round plate, arc plate, or irregular plate. The first fixing member 21 can be integrally formed with the housing 11 by integral stamping and bending or integral turning, so as to fully ensure the connection between the first fixing member 21 and the housing 11 and the compact structure.

[0075] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the integral molding connection method between the first fixing member 21 and the housing 11, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust its integral molding connection method according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situations described in the above embodiments.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second fastener 22 includes a mating portion 223 and a connecting portion 222; the mating portion 223 has a mating surface that is fixed to the side wall of the housing 11; the connecting portion 222 is connected to the side of the mating portion 223 opposite to the mating surface and satisfies the perpendicular condition with the mating portion 223.

[0077] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 In further detail, the second fastener 22 can be configured to include a mating part 223 and a connecting part 222. The mating part 223 has a mating surface that is fixed to the side wall of the housing 11. The mating part 223 can be fixed to the side wall of the housing 11 by means of welding, bonding, screwing, snap-fitting, etc. The connecting part 222 is connected to the side of the mating part 223 that is opposite to the mating surface and meets the perpendicularity condition with the mating part 223. The connecting part 222 can be integrally formed with the mating part 223 by stamping and bending, which can not only ensure the connection between the two is firm and stable, but also ensure the precise perpendicularity between the two.

[0078] Furthermore, the shape and curvature of the mating surface in the aforementioned mating portion 223 can be specifically configured to match the shape and curvature of the side wall of the housing 11, so as to fully ensure that the second fastener 22 can be stably and seamlessly installed in the side wall of the housing 11 through the mating portion 223.

[0079] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the shape and structure of the second fastener 22, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust its specific shape and structure according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situations described in the above embodiments.

[0080] In one embodiment, the docking part 223 is further provided with a clearance opening 223a; one end of the first fixing member 21 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 11 corresponding to the clearance opening 223a, and extends out of the clearance opening 223a.

[0081] Specifically, in combination Figure 2In further detail, a clearance opening 223a is specifically provided in the docking part 223; and one end of the first fixing member 21 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 11 corresponding to the clearance opening 223a, and extends out of the clearance opening 223a. The width of the clearance opening 223a can be set to be slightly larger than the width of the first fixing member 21 by 2mm to 6mm. In this way, when the second fixing member 22 is pre-installed and positioned with the side wall of the housing 11, the clearance opening 223a in the docking part 223 can be used as a positioning reference with the first fixing member 21, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the fixing position of the second fixing member 22 in the side wall of the housing 11.

[0082] In addition, since the docking part 223 has a clearance opening 223a, and the clearance opening 223a can also communicate with one side of the docking part 223, this is equivalent to increasing the perimeter of the docking part 223. In this way, when the docking part 223 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 11, more fixing points can be set, further improving the reliability and stability of the fixed connection between the docking part 223 and the side wall of the housing 11.

[0083] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the way the clearance opening 223a in the docking part 223 is opened, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust its opening method according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situation described in the above embodiments.

[0084] In one embodiment, the plurality of fasteners 2 further includes a third fastener 23, which extends from the outer surface of the housing 11 in a first direction, the first direction being the direction in which the external connector engages with the connector along the opening channel formed by the opening; the third fastener has a third connecting surface 233 for fixed connection with the connector mounting plate 3.

[0085] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5In further detail, the multiple fasteners 2 also specifically include a third fastener 23, which extends from the outer surface of the housing 11 along a first direction, the direction in which the external connector joins the connector along the opening channel formed by the opening. The third fastener has a third connecting surface 233 for fixed connection with the connector mounting plate 3. In this way, when the housing 11 is fixedly connected to the connector mounting plate 3, in addition to being connected to the two side plates of the connector mounting plate 3 respectively through the first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22, it can also be further connected to the connector mounting plate 3 through the third connecting surface 233 in the third fastener 23 along the direction of the opening channel joining the connector. Especially when the connector is plugged in and out, the force of plugging and pulling is along the direction of the opening channel joining the connector. In this way, the third connecting surface 233 can further distribute the external force of plugging and pulling, and further improve the reliability and stability of the connector fixedly connected in the connector mounting plate 3.

[0086] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the setting method of the third fastener 23, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust its specific setting method according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situation described in the above embodiments.

[0087] In one embodiment, the third fastener 23 includes a corner portion 231 and an extension portion 232; the corner portion 231 bends from the bottom wall of the housing 11 toward the extension space of the opening channel; one end of the extension portion 232 is connected to the corner portion 231, and the other end extends along the first direction, and the extension portion 232 forms a third connecting surface 233, which is in the same plane as the second connecting surface 221.

[0088] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 In further detail, the third fixing member 23 is specifically configured as a corner portion 231 and an extension portion 232. The corner portion 231 bends from the bottom wall of the housing 11 toward the extension space of the opening channel. One end of the extension portion 232 is connected to the corner portion 231, and the other end extends along the first direction. In this way, the third fixing member 23 as a whole forms a "concave stepped shape" facing the inside of the housing 11. One side surface of the extension portion 232 forms a third connecting surface 233, which is on the same plane as the second connecting surface 221. This allows the third fixing member 23 to be further connected to the connector mounting plate 3 through the third connecting surface 233, and also reduces the space occupied by the third fixing member 23, so that the housing 11 will not occupy additional thickness space after installation.

[0089] It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the shape and structure of the third fastener 23, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust its specific shape and structure according to the actual situation. The above situation is only an illustrative description of how the target component in this application can be implemented, but is not limited to the situations described in the above embodiments.

[0090] In addition, this disclosure also provides an electronic device, which includes a device body 4; the device body 4 includes a base shell 41, a connector mounting plate 3 disposed in the base shell 41, and a screen module 42 covering an opening on one side of the base shell 41.

[0091] The connector mounting plate 3 is provided with a connector 1; the connector 1 includes a housing 11 and a plurality of fasteners 2; the housing 11 has an opening 111 to allow an external connector to engage with the connector along the opening channel formed by the opening 111; one end of the fastener 2 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 11, and the other end extends toward the outside of the housing 11; the plurality of fasteners 2 form a clamping gap 201; the clamping gap 201 is used to clamp and fix the two side surfaces of the connector mounting plate 3.

[0092] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 To elaborate further, the electronic device can be, but is not limited to, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a mobile phone, etc.

[0093] Moreover, in this electronic device, the screen module 42 is covered by the opening on one side of the bottom shell 41, and the connector 1 is embedded in the bottom shell 41 through the connector mounting plate 3. The installation of the connector 1 will not cause the thickness of the device body 4 to increase. Therefore, this electronic device completely solves the problem that the interface fixing method in the prior art cannot be applied to thin and light devices.

[0094] Furthermore, since the electronic device includes the aforementioned connector 1, it can achieve all the same beneficial effects as the aforementioned connector 1, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0095] In one embodiment, a margin gap 401 is formed between the housing 11 and the base housing 41 and / or the screen module 42.

[0096] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 In further detail, a margin gap 401 is formed between the housing 11 of connector 1 and the base plate housing 41, and / or a margin gap 401 is formed between the housing 11 of connector 1 and the screen module 42. In this way, the margin gap 401 can serve as a safety interval area to fully prevent the housing 11 of connector 1 from being accidentally bumped or scratched by the screen module 42 or the housing 11 when subjected to insertion and extraction forces. On the other hand, the margin gap 401 can also serve as a heat dissipation area for the electronic device, improving the heat dissipation effect when the electronic device is made thinner and lighter.

[0097] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this disclosure, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0098] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
