In addition, the various specific processes and examples of materials provided by the present application, but those of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0033] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure.

The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a connector module, which includes: a connector body 100, including a first conductive terminal 110 and a connecting ear 120, the connecting ear 120 extending outward along a first direction X of the connector body 100, and the first conductive terminal 110 and the connecting ear 120 are spaced apart in a second direction Y of the connector body 100; a main board 200, provided with a first avoidance notch 210 and an electrical contact site 220, the first avoidance notch 210 penetrates the main board 200 along a third direction Z of the connector body 100, the electrical contact site 220 is arranged corresponding to the first conductive terminal 110, at least a portion of the connector body 100 is inserted into the first avoidance notch 210, the first conductive terminal 110 abuts against and is connected to the electrical contact site 220; and a locking assembly 300, which locks the connector body 100 and the main board 200 in the third direction Z through the connecting ear 120.

[0035] In this embodiment, a first avoidance notch 210 is provided on the mainboard 200, and at least a portion of the connector body is inserted into the first avoidance notch 210, so that the portion of the connector body inserted into the first avoidance notch 210 shares a thickness space with the mainboard 200, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the connector module, making it adaptable to use scenarios with a smaller thickness assembly space; at the same time, the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 are detachably connected through the locking assembly 300. When one of the components is damaged, only the damaged component can be replaced, and the other component can continue to be used, which can greatly reduce the cost of use. Compared with traditional welding / crimping connectors, the connector module provided in this embodiment is detachable, flexible to assemble, and has a low cost of use; and the overall space occupied is small, which is conducive to the thin and light layout of the connector module and electronic equipment.

[0036] Specifically, the connector module is configured as a composite component including at least a connector body 100, a main board 200 and a locking assembly 300. The connector body 100 can be a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure with wings, one end of which is open for plugging in an external active device, such as a plug connected to a power source; the other end is provided with a first conductive terminal 110 that is at least partially extended, and the extended portion of the first conductive terminal 110 is used to electrically connect to the main board 200. In this way, the main board 200 can be installed on another external active device, such as a computer, a mobile phone, etc., to achieve current conduction between the connector module and the two active devices; the connecting ear 120 arranged thereon can expand the connection position between the connector body 100 and the main board 200 outward, reduce interference with its main body, and facilitate subsequent disassembly and assembly. The main board 200 may be a plate-like structure with a circuit etched inside, and the first avoidance notch 210 opened thereon may be in a rectangular, prismatic, triangular or circular shape, etc., which is not limited here, and is adapted to the shape of the insertion part of the connector body 100, and the operator may select it according to the actual situation; the electrical contact point 220 arranged thereon may be an exposed metal sheet structure, which is connected to the circuit etched inside the body, so that the first conductive terminal 110 can be connected to the internal circuit of the main board 200 through the exposed electrical contact point 220, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the connector body 100 and the main board 200. The locking component 300 can be a structural member such as a screw / bolt, which is used to realize the detachable connection between the connector body 100 and the main board 200. For example, a through hole penetrating along the third direction Z is provided on the connecting ear 120, and a connecting hole corresponding to the through hole is provided on the main board 200. The locking component 300 passes through the through hole and the connecting hole in sequence to realize the connection and fastening of the connector body 100 and the main board 200. When the main board 200 needs to be replaced later, the locking component 300 can be reversely loosened and the locking component 300 can be taken out from the through hole and the connecting hole, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The connector module provided in this example occupies a small space and can realize a lightweight layout. In addition, the connector body 100 and the main board 200 are detachable, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance and replacement of vulnerable parts and reduces the cost of use.

[0037] In one example, the connector body 100 can be configured as a composite structure including at least a main body, a first conductive terminal 110 and a connecting ear 120. The main body is a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure. Two connecting ears 120 can be provided, and the two connecting ears 120 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the main body along the first direction X; the two connecting ears 120 extend back to back and cooperate with two locking components 300 respectively to connect and fasten the connector body 100 and the main board 200 in at least two areas in the first direction X; the tail end of the first conductive terminal 110 extends downward from the main body so that when the connector body 100 is inserted into the first avoidance gap 210, it abuts against the electrical contact point 220 on the main board 200, thereby realizing conduction between the connector body 100 and the main board 200 and facilitating the transmission of current or signals.

[0038] It should be explained that the straight line of the first direction X, the straight line of the second direction Y, and the straight line of the third direction Z are arranged perpendicularly to each other. For example, the first direction X can be the width direction of the connector body 100, the second direction Y can be the length direction of the connector body 100, and the third direction Z can be the thickness direction of the connector body 100.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the first avoidance gap 210 includes a first side wall 211, a second side wall 212 and a third side wall 213 arranged in sequence, the third side wall 213 is arranged opposite to the first side wall 211, and is spaced apart in the first direction X, the electrical contact point 220 is arranged on the second side wall 212, the first conductive terminal 110 has a first abutting surface 101 exposed from the connector body 100 and facing the second side wall 212, and the first abutting surface 101 abuts and conducts the electrical contact point 220 in the second direction Y.

[0040] In this embodiment, a method for realizing electrical connection between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 in the second direction Y is provided. In this case, the first conductive terminal 110 can be a long sheet-like structure. The first side wall 211, the second side wall 212 and the third side wall 213 enclose a U-shape, forming the outermost shape of the first avoidance gap 210. The bottom of the connector body 100 can be inserted into the first avoidance gap 210 from the top of the main board 200, and at least two side walls of the connector body 100 are respectively abutted against the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 213, and the first abutting surface 101 on the outer side of the first conductive terminal 110 disposed on the other side wall of the connector body 100 is abutted against the second side wall 212, so that the connector body 100 and the main board 200 are conductive. The first abutting surface 101 may be a plane with a mirror effect, which may form an attractive force when in contact with the electrical contact site 220; or the first abutting surface 101 may be a convex arc surface, which may form a positive abutment when in contact with the electrical contact site 220, so as to enhance the connection reliability between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 and ensure the electrical connection effect between the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200. The connector module provided in this example can realize the force contact between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical connection site in the second direction Y, and conduct the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 in this direction, with a compact layout and good synergy effect.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the first conductive terminal 110 includes a fixed portion 111 and a flexible portion 112 connected to the fixed portion 111 along a third direction Z, the connector body 100 also includes a second avoidance gap 130 arranged opposite to the second side wall 212, and the flexible portion 112 is suspended in the second avoidance gap 130 so that the flexible portion 112 has at least deformation capability along the second direction Y.

[0042] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the connector body 100 is further optimized. Specifically, the connector body 100 is configured as a composite component including at least the first conductive terminal 110, the connecting ear 120 and the second avoidance notch 130. The second avoidance notch 130 can be a female angle structure opened at a bottom corner of the connector body 100 and penetrating the connector body 100 along the first direction X. Its lateral opening faces away from the opening of the first avoidance notch 210, and its bottom opening faces the main board 200. The flexible portion 112 of the first conductive terminal 110 can be inserted into the second avoidance notch 130 from top to bottom. At the same time, the first conductive terminal 110 is configured as a split structure including at least a fixed portion 111 and a flexible portion 112. The fixed portion 111 can be wrapped on the main part of the connector body 100, so that the rigidity of the main part can be enhanced and the flexible portion 112 and the control member 170 in the main part can be connected; the flexible portion 112 is connected to the lower end of the fixed portion 111, and at least a part of it extends out of the main part and is exposed in the second avoidance gap 130. In this way, the flexible portion 112 can at least have the ability to deform in the second direction Y when subjected to force in the second direction Y, thereby alleviating the abutment stress when the flexible portion 112 contacts the electrical contact point 220, preventing the flexible portion 112 from being damaged and the electrical contact point 220 from being crushed, thereby improving the mechanical protection of the flexible portion 112 and the electrical contact point 220, and enhancing the contact sensitivity and reliability of the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220, thereby shortening the response time of the connector module. The connector module provided in this example can provide abutment buffer force between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 at least in the second direction Y, allowing the first conductive terminal 110 to deform in the second direction Y, thereby improving assembly yield.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a possible implementation, the connector body 100 further includes a third avoidance notch 140 disposed above the second side wall 212 , and the third avoidance notch 140 and the second avoidance notch 130 are disposed along the second direction Y on opposite sides of the first conductive terminal 110 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the connector body 100 is further optimized. Specifically, the connector body 100 is configured as a composite component including at least the first conductive terminal 110, the connecting ear 120, the second avoidance notch 130 and the third avoidance notch 140. The third avoidance notch 140 can be a negative angle structure arranged above the outer side of the second avoidance notch 130 and passing through the connector body 100 along the first direction X. Its lateral opening faces away from the first avoidance notch 210, and its bottom opening is connected to the second avoidance notch 130. Part of the fixing portion 111 of the first conductive terminal 110 can be exposed through the third avoidance notch 140 to increase the exposed area of ​​the outer side wall of the first conductive terminal 110, disperse the abutment force on the side of the first abutment surface 101, reduce the breakage rate of the first conductive terminal 110, and improve the assembly yield; at the same time, a limit can be formed between the top wall of the third avoidance notch 140 and the main board 200 to prevent the connector body 100 and the main board 200 from being over-assembled in the third direction Z.

[0045] In a possible implementation, the projection of the first conductive terminal 110 in the third direction Z at least partially overlaps with the projection of the electrical contact site 220 in the third direction Z. With such an arrangement, the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 can be in interference contact with each other in the second direction Y, thereby ensuring the electrical contact yield and sensitivity between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220, shortening the response time of the connector module, increasing the response rate, and improving the current conduction performance or signal transmission performance of the connector module.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a possible embodiment, at least two limiting protrusions 230 are provided on the second side wall 212, and at least two limiting protrusions 230 are arranged at intervals in the second direction Y, and two adjacent limiting protrusions 230 are enclosed to form a limiting groove, and the limiting groove extends along the third direction Z, and the first conductive terminal 110 is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0047] In this embodiment, the structure of the abutment between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 is further optimized. Specifically, at least two limiting protrusions 230 are arranged on the second side wall 212 of the main board 200. The limiting protrusions 230 penetrate the main board 200 along the third direction Z. At least two limiting protrusions 230 are spaced apart along the first direction X to enclose a limiting groove extending along the third direction Z. The electrical contact point 220 is arranged at the bottom of the limiting groove. When the first conductive terminal 110 is inserted into the limiting groove, the first abutment surface 101 of the first conductive terminal 110 abuts against the electrical contact point 220, and the other two side walls are respectively limited by the inner walls of the two adjacent limiting protrusions 230. In this way, the first conductive terminal 110 can be guided and limited by the limiting groove to improve the assembly accuracy and assembly speed; and the first conductive terminal 110 can be prevented from moving in the second direction Y, thereby improving the assembly stability and reliability of the connector module.

[0048] In addition, the limiting protrusion 230 can be a conductive metal, which is connected to the electrical contact point 220. In this way, the electrical contact area between the first conductive terminal 110 and the main board 200 can be increased through the inner wall surface of the limiting protrusion 230, thereby improving the electrical contact reliability and sensitivity, shortening the response time, and improving the overall performance of the connector module.

[0049] In one example, there are N first conductive terminals 110, which are spaced apart along the first direction X. There are N electrical contact sites 220, which are spaced apart along the first direction X, and one electrical contact site 220 corresponds to at least one conductive terminal. At this time, there are (N+1) limiting protrusions 230, which are spaced apart along the first direction X and enclose N limiting grooves, and one limiting groove corresponds to one electrical contact site 220. In this way, the electrical contact sensitivity between the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 can be improved at least in terms of quantity, the response rate can be improved, and the performance of the connector module can be improved.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the electrical contact site 220 is arranged on a side of the mainboard 200 facing the connector body 100, and the first conductive terminal 110 has a second abutting surface 102 exposed from the connector body 100 and facing the electrical contact site 220, and the second abutting surface 102 abuts and conducts the electrical contact site 220 in the third direction Z.

[0051] In this embodiment, a method for realizing electrical connection between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 in the third direction Z is provided. In this case, the first conductive terminal 110 may be a bent hook spring structure. The electrical contact site 220 is arranged on the top surface of the main board 200. The second abutting surface 102 at the lowest point of the hook of the first conductive terminal 110 is arranged toward the electrical contact site 220. When the connector body 100 is inserted into the first avoidance notch 210, it can be pressed against the top of the electrical contact site 220. The second abutting surface 102 may be a convex arc surface, which forms an interference abutment when it contacts the electrical contact site 220; or, the second abutting surface 102 may be a smooth plane with a mirror effect, which forms an attractive force when it contacts the electrical contact site 220, so as to enhance the connection reliability between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 and ensure the electrical connection effect between the connector body 100 and the main board 200. The connector module provided in this example can achieve force contact between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical connection site in the third direction Z, and conduct electricity between the connector body 100 and the main board 200 in this direction, with a compact layout and good coordinated effect.

[0052] In a possible implementation, the projection of the first conductive terminal 110 in the second direction Y at least partially overlaps with the projection of the electrical contact site 220 in the second direction Y. With such an arrangement, the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 can be in interference contact in the third direction Z, thereby ensuring the electrical contact yield and sensitivity between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220, shortening the response time of the connector module, increasing the response rate, and improving the current conduction performance or signal transmission performance of the connector module.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the connector body 100 also includes a first shell 150 and a second shell 160, the first shell 150 is sleeved outside the second shell 160, the connecting ear 120 is arranged on the side of the first shell 150 facing the main board 200, and one end of the first conductive terminal 110 is arranged in the second shell 160, and the other end is exposed and abuts the electrical contact point 220.

[0054] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the connector body 100 is further optimized. Specifically, the connector body 100 is configured as a composite component including at least a first conductive terminal 110, a connecting ear 120, a first shell 150 and a second shell 160. The first shell 150 can be a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure with a receiving chamber. The connecting ear 120 arranged on its outer wall is used to cooperate with the locking assembly 300 to detachably connect the connector body 100 to the mainboard 200. The second shell 160 can be a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure, the size of which is smaller than the size of the first shell 150. The second shell 160 can be received in the receiving chamber of the first shell 150 by means of snap connection or crimping. The fixed portion 111 of the first conductive terminal 110 is wrapped in the second shell 160, and the flexible portion 112 thereof passes through the second shell 160 and the first shell 150 in sequence and extends out to abut and conduct with the electrical contact site 220.

In this way, the current in the power battery or the mains power can be transferred to the mobile phone through the power cord → the second conductive terminal 180 → the control component 170 → the first conductive terminal 110 → the electrical contact point 220 → the motherboard 200 → the main control board of the mobile phone to realize charging of the mobile phone. Alternatively, the electronic device may include a data cable and a mobile phone, one end of the data cable can be plugged into a terminal computer, and the other end can be plugged into a power socket of the connector body 100; the motherboard 200 of the connector module is assembled at a specified position of the mobile phone and electrically connected to the main control board of the mobile phone.
