Background Art
[0002] According to the disclosure, most electronic products include a wire-end connector and a board-end connector, and electrical signals are transmitted through the docking of the wire-end connector and the board-end connector. In recent years, connector assemblies have been widely used in various electronic devices to transmit electrical signals. For this purpose, a snap-on structure for snapping the board-end connector is designed on the plastic insulator of the wire-end connector to prevent the wire-end connector from easily detaching from the docking board-end connector and affecting the transmission of electrical signals of the connector assembly on the electronic device.

[0089] This application provides a connector assembly and a board-side connector and a line-side connector. For the technical ideas of the connector assembly and the board-side connector and the line-side connector of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 26 The following are examples of embodiments.
[0090] At Figures 1 to 26 In the illustrated embodiment, the connector assembly 1 can be used on various electronic devices to transmit electrical signals, and the connector assembly 1 includes a line-end connector 11 and a board-end connector 12 that can be docked. The line-end connector 11 can connect a conductive wire to transmit electrical signals. The board-end connector 12 can be disposed on a circuit board to transmit electrical signals.
[0091] In the above embodiment, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the line end connector 11 includes: a line end conductive terminal 111 and a line end insulating colloid 112. The line end conductive terminal 111 includes a line end conductive lap joint structure 1111. The line end insulating colloid 112 positions the line end conductive terminal 111, and the line end insulating colloid 112 includes a line end colloid plugging structure 1121 and a line end colloid lap joint guiding structure 1122.
[0092] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, the board-end connector 12 includes: a board-end conductive terminal 121, a board-end force-holding terminal 122, a board-end insulating colloid 123 and a board-end metal shell 124. The board-end conductive terminal 121 includes a board-end conductive overlap structure 1211. The board-end force-holding terminal 122 includes a board-end force-holding abutment structure 1221. The board-end insulating colloid 123 includes a board-end colloid docking channel 1231, a board-end colloid docking space 1232, a board-end colloid moving track 1233, a board-end colloid overlap guide structure 1234 and a board-end colloid moving guide structure 1237; and the board-end insulating colloid 123 positions the board-end conductive terminal 121 so that the board-end conductive overlap structure 1211 is located in the board-end colloid docking space 1232. In addition, the board-end insulating colloid 123 is made of insulating material and can provide positioning for the board-end force-holding terminal 122. The board end colloid docking channel 1231 is connected to the board end colloid docking space 1232 .
[0093] The board-end metal shell 124 is, for example, a shell made of a metal sheet material that is bent or cut and has sufficient structural strength. In the above embodiment, the board-end metal shell 124 is mounted on the board-end insulating colloid 123, and the board-end metal shell 124 includes a board-end shell docking channel 1241, a board-end shell stop structure 1242, a board-end shell plug-in structure 1243 and a board-end shell moving guide structure 1244.

[0094] The board end housing moving guide structure 1244 and the board end colloid moving guide structure 1237 can be a concave-convex structure with matching structures, so that the size of the connector assembly 1 can be reduced, and the electronic equipment using the connector assembly 1 can continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller. Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 7 and 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the board end shell moving guide structure 1244 is a through-hole structure, so that the board end colloid moving guide structure 1237 can be visually observed through the board end shell moving guide structure 1244, and the movement state of the board end metal shell 124 relative to the board end insulating colloid 123 can be observed to avoid the relative movement of the board end metal shell 124 and the board end insulating colloid 123 exceeding the predetermined stroke.
[0095] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, when the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel opening position PO, the board-end shell docking channel 1241 is aligned with the board-end colloid docking channel 1231, so that the line-end colloid lap guide structure 1122 can be matched with the board-end colloid lap guide structure 1234, and guide the line-end connector 11 to enter the board-end colloid docking space 1232 through the board-end shell docking channel 1241 and the board-end colloid docking channel 1231, so that the line-end conductive lap structure 1111 overlaps the board-end conductive lap structure 1211, and the line-end conductive terminal 111 overlaps the board-end conductive terminal 121.
[0096] The wire end colloid lap guide structure 1122 and the board end colloid lap guide structure 1234 can be a concave-convex structure with matching structures, so that the size of the connector assembly 1 can be reduced, and the electronic equipment using the connector assembly 1 can continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller. Figures 1 to 6 and Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the wire-end colloid lap guide structure 1122 is a through-hole structure, so that the board-end colloid lap guide structure 1234 can be visually observed through the wire-end colloid lap guide structure 1122 to observe the state of the wire-end connector 11 docking with the board-end connector 12, so as to avoid the wire-end connector 11 being misaligned and unable to dock with the board-end connector 12.
[0097] When the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel closing position PC, the board-end shell docking channel 1241 is staggered from the board-end colloid docking channel 1231, so that the board-end shell stop structure 1242 provides a stop for the movement of the line-end connector 11 above the board-end colloid docking channel 1231, and the board-end shell plug-in structure 1243 plugs into the line-end colloid plug-in structure 1121 of the line-end connector 11 entering the board-end colloid docking space 1232. In this way, the board-end shell stop structure 1242 can be stopped by the board-end shell plug-in structure 12 43, to prevent the line-end connector 11 from leaving the board-end colloid docking space 1232 through the board-end colloid docking channel 1231 and detaching from the board-end connector 12, thereby solving various problems of the line-end connector of the conventional connector assembly being easily detached from the docked board-end connector, so as to maintain the overlapping relationship between the line-end conductive terminal 111 and the board-end conductive terminal 121, to ensure that the docking relationship between the line-end connector 11 and the board-end connector 12 meets expectations, so that the signal transmission function of the connector assembly 1 meets expectations and can be widely used in various electronic devices. The line-end colloid plug-in structure 1121 is a structure that matches the board-end housing plug-in structure 1243, such as Figures 12 to 17 , Figure 19 to Figure 20 ,and Figure 22 to Figure 24 and Fig.26 As shown, the wire end colloid plug-in structure 1121 is a hole-slot structure. Figures 1 to 6 and Figures 8 to 11As shown, the line end colloid plug structure 1121 is a hierarchical structure.
[0098] In addition, in the above embodiment, it should be noted that when the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel closed position PC, the board-end holding force abutting structure 1221 abuts against the board-end metal shell 124, and provides movement resistance to the board-end metal shell 124, so as to prevent the board-end metal shell 124 from easily moving from the docking channel closed position PC to the docking channel open position PO, and maintain the state of the board-end shell stop structure 1242 providing a stop for the movement of the line-end connector 11, and maintain the state of the board-end shell plugging structure 1243 plugging the line-end connector 11. Accordingly, as Figures 1 to 6 and Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the wire end insulating colloid 112 includes a wire end colloid abutting avoidance structure 1123 , which provides space to avoid the board end holding force abutting structure 1221 to prevent the wire end insulating colloid 112 from interfering with the board end holding force abutting structure 1221 abutting against the board end metal shell 124 .
[0099] Optionally, when the board end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel closing position PC, the board end holding force abutment structure 1221 abuts against the board end shell plug-in structure 1243, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the board end holding force abutment structure 1221 is located below the board end housing plug-in structure 1243, but this is not limited to this. Fig. 20 As shown, the board end holding force abutment structure 1221 is located on the side of the board end shell plug-in structure 1243 .
[0100] Optionally, Figures 1 to 26 In the illustrated embodiment, the board end force holding terminal 122 includes a board end force holding elastic arm structure 1222, and the board end force holding elastic arm structure 1222 is connected to the board end force holding abutment structure 1221, so that the board end force holding abutment structure 1221 can elastically abut the board end metal shell 124. In this way, the board end force holding abutment structure 1221 can adapt to the shape of the board end metal shell 124 and elastically deform to achieve abutment against the board end metal shell 124 and provide movement resistance to the board end metal shell 124, thereby preventing the board end metal shell 124 from easily moving unexpectedly.
[0101] In the above embodiment, when the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel opening position PO, the board-end shell stop structure 1242 can release the movement of the line-end connector 11 entering the board-end colloid docking space 1232, and the board-end shell plug-in structure 1243 can release the line-end insulating colloid 112 of the line-end connector 11 plugged into the board-end colloid docking space 1232, so that the line-end connector 11 can leave the board-end colloid docking space 1232 through the board-end shell docking channel 1241 and the board-end colloid docking channel 1231 and detach from the board-end connector 12 for inspection, repair or replacement.
[0102] Optionally, Fig.11 As shown, when the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel opening position PO, the board-end holding force abutment structure 1221 abuts against the board-end metal shell 124 to prevent the board-end metal shell 124 from easily performing unexpected movement, thereby preventing the board-end metal shell 124 from easily moving from the docking channel opening position PO to the docking channel closing position PC, while maintaining the board-end shell stop structure 1242 to release the state of providing a stop for the movement of the line-end connector 11, and maintaining the board-end shell plug-in structure 1243 to release the line-end connector 11 that is plugged into the board-end colloid docking space 1232.
[0103] like Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 8 to 16 , Figure 19 to Figure 20 and Figure 23 to Figure 24 As shown, the board end metal shell 124 includes a board end shell buckle structure 1245, and correspondingly, the board end insulating colloid 123 includes a board end colloid buckle structure 1235 and a board end colloid buckle auxiliary structure 1236. The board end colloid buckle auxiliary structure 1236 includes a buckle ramp 12361 and a buckle release ramp 12362. When the board end metal shell 124 moves relative to the board end insulating colloid 123, the board end colloid buckle auxiliary structure 1236 can provide assistance to guide the board end shell buckle structure 1245 to buckle or release the board end colloid buckle structure 1235. It should be noted that when the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel closed position PC, the board-end shell buckle structure 1245 buckles the board-end colloid buckle structure 1235 via the buckle ramp 12361, and provides movement resistance to the board-end metal shell 124, so as to prevent the board-end metal shell 124 from easily moving from the docking channel closed position PC to the docking channel open position PO. In addition, when the board-end metal shell 124 moves to the docking channel open position PO, the board-end shell buckle structure 1245 releases the buckle of the board-end colloid buckle structure 1235 via the release buckle ramp 12362, so as to facilitate the movement of the board-end metal shell 124.
[0104] In the above embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 8 to 16, Figure 19 to Figure 20 and Figure 23 to Figure 24 As shown, the slope of the release buckle ramp 12362 is greater than the slope of the buckle ramp 12361 to prevent the plate end metal shell 124 from easily moving from the docking channel closed position PC to the docking channel open position PO.
[0105] The board end shell buckle structure 1245 and the board end colloid buckle structure 1235 can be a concave-convex structure of structural matching, so that the size of the connector assembly 1 can be reduced, and the electronic equipment using the connector assembly 1 can continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller. Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 8 to 16 , Figure 19 to Figure 20 and Figure 23 to Figure 24 As shown, the board end shell buckle structure 1245 is a convex structure, and the board end colloid buckle structure 1235 is a concave structure, but it is not limited to this. The board end shell buckle structure 1245 can be selected to be a concave structure, and the board end colloid buckle structure 1235 can be selected to be a convex structure.
