[0037] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present application, the specific implementation methods of the present application are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by "front", "back", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "bottom", "inside", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in some of the drawings, and are constructed and operated in a specific direction.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. When an element is referred to as being "on" or "under" another element, the element can be "directly" or "indirectly" located on the other element, or there may be one or more intermediate elements. The terms "first", "second", etc. are only for the convenience of describing the present technical solution, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0040] Figures 1 to 6 An interface device 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown, which can be arranged in an electronic device to provide a precise and stable electrical connection. The interface device 100 includes a base assembly 10, an interface assembly 20 and at least one compensating member 40. The base assembly 10 can carry the interface assembly 20 and the compensating member 40. The interface assembly 20 is arranged on the base assembly 10 to carry an interface for electrical connection. The compensating member 40 is arranged between the interface assembly 20 and the base assembly 10, and can provide a compensation displacement so that the interface assembly 20 can move relative to the base assembly 10.

[0041] Specifically, the interface assembly 20 can move between an initial position and a compensation position relative to the base assembly 10. When the interface assembly 20 is subjected to an external force, the interface assembly 20 can move from the initial position to the compensation position through the compensation member 40. When there is no external force, the interface assembly 20 is maintained at the initial position by the compensation member 40.

[0042] It should be understood that the electronic device may include an electronic mechanism (such as a battery) provided with a connector, and the interface device 100 is, for example, arranged in a battery compartment. When the electronic device is ready to start working, it is necessary to electrically connect the electronic mechanism to the interface device 100 (for example, place the battery in the battery compartment). The electrical connection between the electronic mechanism and the interface device 100 needs to be achieved by docking the connector of the electronic mechanism with the interface carried by the interface assembly 20. In the process of docking the connector and the interface, the docking of the two may deviate due to factors such as production, assembly, and inadequate docking operations, making it difficult for the two to achieve accurate docking. If the interface and the connector cannot be completely and accurately docked, damage to the interface / connector, poor contact, and other results may occur.

[0043] It should be understood that "the joint between the connector and the interface is misaligned" can be understood as the coaxiality between the connector and the interface is within the allowable tolerance range, which will not cause the connector and the interface to be unable to be plugged in. However, since the interface and the connector are not completely aligned, they have not yet been fully plugged in.

[0044] Under this premise, during the process of docking the connector and the interface, if the positions of the connector and the interface are not aligned, the compensation member 40 can be used to cause relative movement between the two, thereby eliminating the deviation between the positions of the two, so that the two can be fully docked and plugged into place.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application provides a compensation component 40 between the base component 10 and the interface component 20, so that the interface component 20 can be provided with a compensation displacement during the process of connecting the interface carried by the interface component 20 with the corresponding connector on the electronic mechanism, that is, the interface component 20 can adjust its position through the compensation component 40. If there is a deviation between the position of the interface and the connector, the interface component 20 carrying the interface can be moved from the initial position to the compensation position through the compensation component 40 to eliminate the deviation between the interface and the connector, so as to achieve complete docking between the two.

[0046] When the interface is not connected to the connector, the interface assembly 20 can be restored to an initial position by the compensation member 40 .

[0047] That is, the compensating member 40 can also realize the return of the interface assembly 20. After the interface is disconnected from the connector, under the action of the compensating member 40, the interface assembly 20 carries the interface and returns to the initial position from the compensation position, which can prevent the interface assembly 20 from being in the compensation position for a long time, thereby improving the durability of the interface carried by the interface assembly 20. Since the interface assembly 20 has been returned to its position, when the connector and the interface are subsequently plugged in again, there will be no situation where the connector and the interface are not plugged in due to the failure of the interface assembly 20 to return to its position. Therefore, when the connector is replaced, the interface of the interface assembly 20 and the new connector can still be accurately docked under the action of the compensating member 40.

[0048] It should be understood that the "compensation position" is not limited to a single fixed position. Since the operator's actions are different during each plug-in process, or the slight differences in the specific dimensions of the two parts to be plugged in during the production and assembly process may cause different position deviations during the plug-in process, the compensation position is not unique and is not limited here.

[0049] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the interface assembly 20 includes a first mounting plate 21, and at least one first mounting hole 211 is formed on the first mounting plate 21. The base assembly 10 includes at least one first mounting column 121, and the first mounting column 121 is inserted into the first mounting hole 211. The hole diameter of the first mounting hole 211 is larger than the diameter of the first mounting column 121, and the compensation member 40 is disposed between the first mounting column 121 and the hole wall of the first mounting hole 211.

[0050] When the interface assembly 20 is subjected to an external force, the compensating member 40 is squeezed between the first mounting column 121 and the first mounting hole 211 to provide a compensating displacement, thereby adjusting the position of the first mounting plate 21 .

[0051] Specifically, the number of the first mounting holes 211 and the first mounting columns 121 can be set to an even number, and the first mounting holes 211 are symmetrically arranged on the first mounting plate 21 .

[0052] It should be understood that if there is a deviation in the docking position between the interface and the joint, the interface assembly 20 will be subjected to a component force having a direction parallel to the direction of the compensation displacement.

[0053] Among them, all the compensating parts 40 will form an elastic deformation range along the direction parallel to the first mounting plate 21, and the elastic deformation range needs to ensure that the joint and the interface can be aligned. In this embodiment, by setting the number of first mounting holes 211 to an even number and arranging them symmetrically on the first mounting plate 21, that is, all the compensating parts 40 are symmetrically distributed, it is easier to calculate the elastic deformation range, and it is also convenient to achieve the effect of reducing the space occupied by the first mounting plate 21.

[0054] If the first mounting holes 211 are not arranged symmetrically on the first mounting plate 21 (for example, the first mounting holes 211 are concentrated at a certain end of the first mounting plate 21), that is, the distances between each compensation member 40 and the center of the first mounting plate 21 are different, then it is more complicated to calculate the elastic deformation range, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of reducing the space occupied by the first mounting plate 21.

[0055] In this embodiment, the number of the first mounting holes 211, the first mounting posts 121 and the compensating member 40 are all four. The first mounting plate 21 is substantially rectangular, and the four first mounting holes 211 are respectively located at the four corners of the first mounting plate 21. The four first mounting holes 211 are centrally symmetrically arranged on the first mounting plate 21. A first mounting post 121 and a compensating member 40 are arranged in each first mounting hole 211.

[0056] Specifically, the base assembly 10 includes a mounting seat 12, and a first mounting column 121 is disposed on the mounting seat 12. The mounting seat 12 may specifically include a seat body 122, and four first mounting columns 121 are disposed on the seat body 122 at intervals.

[0057] Specifically, the seat body 122 includes a bottom wall and two side walls. The bottom wall is roughly rectangular and slightly larger than the first mounting plate 21 to reserve a moving space so that the first mounting plate 21 can move between the initial position and the compensation position. The two side walls are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the bottom wall, and the first mounting plate 21 is located between the two side walls. Four first mounting posts 121 are arranged on the bottom wall and are arranged symmetrically on the bottom wall.

[0058] In some other optional embodiments, when there are multiple first mounting holes 211 , whether an even number or an odd number, they may also be arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner on the first mounting plate 21 .

[0059] In some other optional embodiments, when there are multiple first mounting holes 211 , they may be arranged irregularly on the first mounting plate 21 . They may be arranged relatively evenly on the first mounting plate 21 .

[0060] In some other optional embodiments, the first mounting column 121 can also be provided on the interface component 20, and the first mounting hole 211 is provided on the base component 10. In this case, the first mounting column 121 is passed through the first mounting hole 211, and a compensation member 40 is provided between the two, which can also achieve the above effect.

[0061] In some other optional embodiments, one of the base assembly 10 and the interface assembly 20 can be set as a disc-shaped structure, and the other can be provided with a corresponding slot. By setting the disc-shaped interface in the slot and providing a compensation member 40 between the disc-shaped structure and the side wall of the slot, compensation displacement can also be provided.

[0062] In some other optional embodiments, the seat body 122 may also be configured to be in other shapes such as a plate.

[0063] In some embodiments, the material of the compensating member 40 may be an elastic material, such as a rubber material, etc. The compensating member 40 may provide a compensating displacement through its own elastic deformation.

[0064] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the compensating member 40 is provided in a cylindrical shape, which is sleeved on the first mounting column 121 and penetrates into the first mounting hole 211. The compensating member 40 is interference-fitted with the hole wall of the first mounting hole 211.

[0065] By configuring the compensating member 40 to be a cylindrical structure having elasticity, the compensating member 40 can have uniform elasticity in the circumferential direction, so as to provide uniform compensating displacement and homing driving force.

[0066] In some other optional embodiments, the compensating member 40 may also be made of a rigid material, and its structure may be configured to be a structure having elastic properties such as a spring or a spring sheet, thereby also providing a function of providing compensation displacement.

[0067] In some other optional embodiments, when one of the base assembly 10 and the interface assembly 20 is configured as a disc-shaped structure and the other is provided with a corresponding notch, the compensating member 40 can also be configured as a corresponding ring-shaped structure. A plurality of sheet-shaped, block-shaped, or strip-shaped structures can also be configured and evenly spaced in the circumferential direction.

[0068] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the interface device 100 also includes at least one first connecting member 50, which is detachably arranged on the first mounting column 121 and passed through the first mounting hole 211, and is used to abut against the side of the first mounting plate 21 away from the seat body 122 to limit the first mounting plate 21.

[0069] Specifically, the first mounting column 121 may be in the shape of a hollow cylinder, with its end being through, for inserting the first connector 50 to achieve a detachable connection. One end of the first connector 50 may be provided with a plate-shaped, block-shaped, or spherical protrusion structure, the size of which is larger than the aperture of the first mounting hole 211. When the first mounting plate 21 is connected to the mounting seat 12, the protrusion structure at the end of the first connector 50 protrudes outward from the end of the first mounting hole 211 away from the seat body 122 for positioning.

[0070] In this embodiment, a threaded hole is formed in the first mounting column 121, and the first connecting member 50 can be a bolt. When the first mounting plate 21 is connected to the mounting seat 12, a gasket can be optionally arranged between the bolt head of the bolt and the first mounting plate 21 to protect the first mounting plate 21 from damage.

[0071] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the interface device 100 further includes a circuit assembly 30 for realizing circuit connection. The circuit assembly 30 may specifically include a circuit board 31 and a first interface 32. The first interface 32 is also the aforementioned interface for plugging with a connector, so that an electronic mechanism provided with a connector can be electrically connected to the circuit board 31 through the first interface 32.

[0072] The interface assembly 20 further includes a second mounting plate 22 , which is mounted on the first mounting plate 21 . The circuit assembly 30 is sandwiched between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 to support the interface.

[0073] Specifically, at least two first connection holes 212 are formed on the first mounting plate 21, and at least two second connection holes 2212 are correspondingly formed on the second mounting plate 22. The interface assembly 20 also includes at least two second connectors 23. By respectively inserting the second connectors 23 into the first connection holes 212 and the second connection holes 2212, the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 are detachably connected, thereby detachably clamping the circuit assembly 30 between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22. The second mounting plate 22 is also formed with a through hole 2211 for inserting the first interface 32.

[0074] The second connecting member 23 may be a connecting structure such as a bolt.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the second mounting plate 22 is also roughly rectangular in shape, and the size of the rectangle is smaller than the first mounting plate 21 and larger than the circuit board 31 .

[0076] In some other optional embodiments, the first mounting plate 21 and / or the second mounting plate 22 may also be configured to be circular, polygonal, irregular or other shapes.

[0077] In some other optional embodiments, the sizes of the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 may be larger than the size of the circuit board 31, or smaller than or equal to the size of the circuit board 31. The sizes and / or shapes of the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 may be the same or different.

[0078] In some other optional embodiments, a snap-fit ​​structure may be provided between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 to achieve a detachable connection between the two, thereby clamping the circuit board 31. Alternatively, the second connecting member 23 may not be provided, and the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 may be relatively fixed by welding, integral molding, etc., so that the circuit board 31 is fixedly clamped between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22.

[0079] It should be understood that when the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 are clamped to the circuit board 31 through the second connecting member 23, the setting positions of the connecting holes on the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 can enable the second connecting member 23 to be synchronously passed through the circuit board 31, or the second connecting member 23 and the circuit board 31 can be spaced apart, which is not limited here.

[0080] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The second mounting plate 22 includes a plate body 221 and at least two guide pillars 222. The circuit board 31 is sandwiched between the first mounting plate 21 and the plate body 221. The through hole 2211 is disposed on the plate body 221. The guide pillar 222 is disposed on a side of the plate body 221 facing away from the first mounting plate 21. The at least two guide pillars 222 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the through hole 2211.

[0081] It is important to understand that Figure 8 Taking the embodiment shown as an example, during the use of the interface device 100, a guide hole 2011 may be correspondingly provided on the electronic mechanism to which it is connected. At this time, during the process of plugging the first interface 32 of the interface device 100 with the connector on the electronic mechanism, the guide post 222 will be inserted into the guide hole 2011 first to achieve preliminary positioning. If there is a position deviation between the first interface 32 and the connector, the guide post 222 that is previously connected can generate an interaction force through the guide hole 2011, and the interaction force causes the interface component 20 to move to the compensation position. When the interface component 20 moves to the compensation position, the positions of the first interface 32 and the connector can be aligned, and then the first interface 32 and the connector can be fully connected.

[0082] That is, the setting of the guide column 222 can replace the first interface 32 to generate interaction force to achieve the movement of the interface component 20. In other words, in this embodiment, the position of the first interface 32 of the interface component 20 relative to the connector on the electronic mechanism is adjusted by the interaction between the guide column 222 and the guide hole 2011, and then the connector can be further inserted into the first interface 32, so that the first interface 32 and the connector can be completely docked, thereby avoiding the interaction force between the first interface 32 and the connector, and reducing the risk of damage to the first interface 32 and / or the connector.

[0083] In this embodiment, there are two guide pillars 222, which are respectively disposed at the upper and lower opposite sides of the through hole 2211. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the length of the guide post 222 is set so that when the circuit board 31 is clamped between the first mounting plate 21 and the board body 221, the distance from the far end of the guide post 222 to the board body 221 is greater than the distance from the far end of the first interface 32 to the board body 221.

[0084] In some embodiments, a guide surface can be provided at the end of the guide column 222, and the shape of the guide surface can be, for example, a conical surface, or a rotating surface composed of other types of curves, so that when the guide column 222 is initially inserted into the guide hole 2011, a component force perpendicular to the long axis direction of the guide column 222 can be generated through the guide surface, so that the guide column 222 can be smoothly inserted into the guide hole 2011, thereby driving the interface assembly 20 to move to the compensation position.

[0085] In some other optional embodiments, the guide pillar 222 may also be disposed on the left and right opposite sides of the through hole 2211 , or on the two opposite sides at other inclined angles.

[0086] In some other optional embodiments, the number of guide pillars 222 may be three, four, etc. When there are more than two guide pillars 222, the guide pillars 222 may be grouped on two opposite sides of the through hole 2211 or arranged at intervals on the circumference of the through hole 2211.

[0087] For example Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the circuit board 31 further includes a second interface 33 , which can be electrically connected to an external circuit, so that an electronic mechanism provided with a connector is electrically connected to the external circuit through the circuit board 31 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the first interface 32 and the second interface 33 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the circuit board 31 .

[0089] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the base assembly 10 further includes a base 11. The base 11 is located on a side of a base body 121 of the mounting seat 12 that faces away from the interface assembly 20. The mounting seat 12 is disposed on the base 11 and can move back and forth relative to the base 11.

[0090] The mounting seat 12 is movably disposed on the base 11 , so that a buffer can be provided when the first interface 32 and the connector are plugged into each other, thereby preventing the operator from failing to control the strength, causing the first interface 32 and the connector to collide with each other and damage the equipment.

[0091] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the base assembly 10 further includes at least one elastic member 13. The elastic member 13 is disposed between the base 11 and the mounting seat 12, and is used to provide elastic displacement so that the mounting seat 12 can be movably disposed on the base 11. When the mounting seat 12 is not subjected to external force, the mounting seat 12 is maintained in a free position by the elastic member 13. When the mounting seat 12 is subjected to external force, the mounting seat 12 can be moved from the free position to the buffer position by the elastic member 13.

[0092] It should be understood that during the plugging process between the electronic mechanism and the interface device 100, the user's operation cannot ensure complete control of the force. Or the interface device 100 is set on the electronic device in a semi-enclosed environment (for example, in the battery field, there is a situation where the interface device 100 is installed at the bottom of a semi-enclosed battery compartment). Such a setting makes it more difficult for the user to control the plugging force during the plugging process between the electronic mechanism and the interface device 100. The above-mentioned various operating environments result in the interface device 100 being plugged in with the electronic mechanism. Even if there is no aforementioned "deviation", there may be potential problems such as excessive plugging force and direct collision. The direct docking and collision between the two may also cause damage, poor contact and other problems.

[0093] The present application can effectively alleviate the problem of direct collision between the interface device 100 and the electronic mechanism during the mutual insertion process by providing the elastic member 13. When the mounting seat 12 is subjected to an external force in a straight direction (or the external force has a component in a straight direction), the mounting seat 12 can be moved from the free position to the buffer position through the elastic member 13 to buffer the influence of the external force on the interface device 100 and avoid the rigid collision between the interface device 100 and the electronic mechanism.

[0094] When the external force disappears, the mounting seat 12 can also return to the free position from the buffer position through the elastic member 13 to avoid being in the buffer position for a long time. This can ensure that the interface device 100 still has buffering performance and improve the durability of the interface assembly 20. Since the mounting seat 12 automatically returns to the free position under the action of the elastic member 13, when the interface device 100 is plugged into the electronic mechanism again, the problem of direct collision between the two during the plugging process can still be avoided.

[0095] It should be understood that “direct collision” can be understood as a collision between the interface device 100 and the electronic mechanism along the relative movement direction of the two during the mutual insertion process. Figure 7 The angle shown can be understood as Figure 7 Collisions in the direction of movement shown in .

[0096] It should be understood that the "free position" and "buffer position" are not limited to a single fixed position. In the free state (the state where the mounting seat 12 is not subjected to external force), due to the different angles at which the interface device 100 is placed, the angle between the weight of the mounting seat 12 and the extension direction of the elastic member 13 is also different. Therefore, the length of the elastic member 13 in the free state will also be slightly different, that is, the free position of the mounting seat 12 will be slightly different.

[0097] During the process of plugging the interface device 100 with the electronic mechanism, the external force applied by the user is different, so the magnitude and direction of the external force borne by the mounting seat 12 are also different. Correspondingly, the external force applied by the mounting seat 12 to the elastic member 13 will also be different. Therefore, the buffer position is not unique and is not limited here.

[0098] It should be understood that under the action of external force, the movement of the mounting seat 12 through the elastic member 13 will produce inertial buffering. Therefore, during the process of plugging the interface device 100 with the electronic mechanism, the mounting seat 12 can be moved to the extreme position under the action of external force through the elastic member 13. When the interface device 100 and the electronic mechanism are plugged in, the mounting seat 12 can move back to the opposite direction to a certain extent under the action of the elastic member 13. Among them, it may move back to the free position, or due to the placement angle, the interface device 100 may be affected by the gravity of the electronic mechanism, and move back and maintain at any position between the extreme position and the free position.

[0099] That is, during the process of plugging the interface device 100 with the electronic mechanism, the mounting seat 12 may be in the buffer position. After the interface device 100 and the electronic mechanism are plugged together, the mounting seat 12 may be in the free position or in the buffer position, which is not specifically limited here.

[0100] In this embodiment, the elastic member 13 is a spring, and the number is one, which is disposed at the center of the base 122. The base 11 includes a base 112 and at least one second mounting column 111, and the second mounting column 111 is vertically disposed on the base 112. Figure 4 At least one second mounting hole 1221 is formed on the seat body 122, and the second mounting column 111 is movably inserted into the second mounting hole 1221 (the mounting seat 12 is movably sleeved on the second mounting column 111).

[0101] The second mounting column 111 and the second mounting hole 1221 can provide a guide for the movement of the mounting seat 12. When the first interface 32 and the joint generate an interaction force, the second mounting column 111 and the second mounting hole 1221 can prevent the movement direction of the mounting seat 12 from being offset.

[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base 112 also includes a bottom wall and two opposite side walls, and the size of the bottom wall corresponds to the seat 122 to ensure that the seat 122 can move between the two opposite side walls. The side walls can also play a certain guiding role.

[0103] like Figure 7As shown, the number of the second mounting column 111 and the second mounting hole 1221 can be set to two, and the two second mounting columns 111 are symmetrically arranged. The two second mounting holes 1221 are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the base body 122 to avoid occupying the space of the bottom wall.

[0104] In some other optional embodiments, the number of the elastic members 13 can also be set to multiple, distributed at intervals between the base 11 and the mounting seat 12. In this embodiment, the second mounting column 111 and the second mounting hole 1221 can be selected not to be provided, and the cooperation of the multiple elastic members 13 can avoid the deviation of the moving direction of the mounting seat 12 (provided that the multiple elastic members 13 are not relatively concentratedly arranged at a certain position).

[0105] In some other optional embodiments, when the number of the elastic member 13 is one, it may not be disposed at the center position of the mounting seat 12 .

[0106] In some other optional embodiments, the elastic member 13 may also be configured as a spring sheet, a gasket or other structure that has elastic properties.

[0107] In some other optional embodiments, the number of the second mounting column 111 and the second mounting hole 1221 can also be set to one, three, four, etc. It can be set to a columnar structure, or it can be set to other structures such as a cylinder or a plate, and the second mounting hole 1221 adapted thereto can be movably sleeved thereon to achieve a guiding effect.

[0108] In some embodiments, the base assembly 10 further includes at least one stopper 14 . The stopper 14 is disposed on the second mounting post 111 and is used to limit the moving distance of the mounting seat 12 to prevent the second mounting post 111 from falling out of the second mounting hole 1221 .

[0109] The stopper 14 can be configured as a bolt or other structure, and by providing a screw hole on the second mounting column 111, the stopper 14 can be detachably arranged at the end of the second mounting column 111 facing away from the base 11. By setting the bolt head diameter of the stopper 14 to be larger than the hole diameter of the second mounting hole 1221, the second mounting column 111 can be prevented from slipping out of the second mounting hole 1221.

[0110] In some other optional embodiments, the limiting member 14 can also be set to a block-shaped or spherical structure, and fixed to the end of the second mounting column 111 by welding, integral molding, etc., which can also achieve a limiting effect on the mounting seat 12.

[0111] like Figure 8As shown, an embodiment of the present application also constructs a connection module, including a joint assembly 200 and an interface device 100 under any of the above embodiments. The joint assembly 200 is detachably connected to the interface device 100.

[0112] It should be understood that the connector assembly 200 may be a part of the electronic mechanism in the aforementioned electronic device.

[0113] Specifically, the connector assembly 200 may include a substrate 201 and a connector 202. The connector 202 is used to be plugged into the first interface 32 to achieve electrical connection between the electronic mechanism to which the connector assembly 200 belongs and the circuit board 31.

[0114] In some embodiments, for the interface device 100 having the guide pillar 222 , at least one guide hole 2011 may be further provided on the substrate 201 of the connector assembly 200 .

[0115] In this embodiment, there are two guide holes 2011 , which are disposed on two opposite sides of the connector 202 and correspond to the two guide pillars 222 .

[0116] When the connector assembly 200 is connected to the interface device 100, the two guide posts 222 of the interface device 100 are first connected to the two guide holes 2011 of the connector assembly 200. During the plugging process, the interface device 100 is affected by external force, and the external force is transmitted to the mounting seat 12 through the first interface 32, and then to the elastic member 13. The elastic member 13 is compressed under the action of the external force, so the mounting seat 12 can move from the free position to the buffer position to achieve buffering of the external force.

[0117] If there is a positional deviation between the interface device 100 and the connector assembly 200, the guide pillar 222 and the side wall of the guide hole 2011 will also generate an interaction force, so that the interface assembly 20 moves from the initial position to the compensation position through the compensation member 40. After the interface assembly 20 moves to the compensation position, the first interface 32 and the connector 202 can be aligned and the plug-in is completed.

[0118] In some other optional embodiments, the setting positions of the guide hole 2011 and the guide column 222 may also be swapped, with the guide hole 2011 being set on the interface device 100 and the guide column 222 being set on the connector assembly 200 .

[0119] Another embodiment of the present application also constructs a battery compartment (not shown in the figure). The battery compartment includes a compartment body and an interface device 100 under any of the above embodiments. The interface device 100 is installed in the compartment body and can be electrically connected to a battery inserted in the compartment body. The battery can also be one of the above-mentioned specific electronic mechanisms.

[0120] like Fig. 9 As shown, the present application also constructs an electronic device, including a battery compartment (not shown), a battery 300 and the above-mentioned connection module. Among them, the interface device 100 and the connector assembly ( Fig. 9 One of the two connectors 200 is installed in the battery compartment, and the other is installed on the battery 300. When the battery 300 is inserted into the battery compartment, the interface device 100 and the connector assembly 200 are docked, and the battery 300 can be powered normally through the battery compartment. Fig. 9 In one of the embodiments shown, the connector assembly 200 is disposed on the battery 300, and the interface device 100 is disposed in the battery compartment.

[0121] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present application, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present application; it should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present application, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application; therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present application should fall within the scope of the claims of the present application.
