[0066] The following content will be illustrated with specific embodiments to illustrate the technical content of the present invention. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different embodiments. The details in this specification can also be modified and changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In particular, the proportions and relative positions of the various components in the drawings are only for exemplary purposes and do not represent the actual situation of the implementation of the present invention.

[0067] The present application provides a connector component assembly and an electrical connector thereof. The following is an explanation of the embodiments disclosed in the present application. Please refer to Figures 1 to 23 .

[0068] At Figures 1 to 23 In the embodiment shown, the connector component assembly A includes: an electrical connector 1 and a conductive component 2. Fig.23 As shown, the conductive member 2 is provided in the electronic device and has a member terminal 21. Figures 19 to 22 As shown, the electrical connector 1 has a connector core 11, a connector terminal 12, a connector switch 13, a metal shell 14 and a pull-out strap 15. The connector core 11 has a core switch receiving groove 111. The connector terminal 12 is embedded in the connector core 11. Preferably, the connector terminal 12 can be a power terminal to provide a power signal, but it is not limited to this. The connector terminal 12 can also be a signal terminal. Fig.15 As shown, the connector switch 13 is accommodated in the core switch accommodating groove 111 , and the connector switch 13 is embedded in the connector core 11 , thereby reducing the overall height of the electrical connector 1 , so that the electrical connector 1 can be used in thin and short electronic devices.

[0069] It should be noted that in the embodiment shown in the above figure, the connector core 11 can provide support for the connector switch 13, so that the connector switch 13 can be moved in the core switch receiving groove 111 under force. Figure 8 The open position OP shown or Fig.15 The closed position CP is shown.

[0070] At Fig. 22 In the embodiment shown, the connector switch 13 has a switch core 131 and a switch terminal 132, and the switch terminal 132 is embedded in the switch core 131. Fig. 20 As shown, the switch rubber core 131 has a switch opening snap-fit ​​groove 1311, a switch closing snap-fit ​​groove 1312 and a switch protrusion 1313, wherein the switch protrusion 1313 separates the switch opening snap-fit ​​groove 1311 from the switch closing snap-fit ​​groove 1312. It should be noted that in the embodiment shown in the above figure, the switch protrusion 1313 can be used to separate the opening position OP and the closing position CP.

[0071] It should be noted that if Figure 8 As shown, when the connector switch 13 is forced to move to the open position OP, and the force on the connector switch 13 is less than the predetermined operating force, the shell elastic snap-fit ​​structure 142 enters the switch open snap-fit ​​groove 1311 and elastically snaps the switch rubber core 131 to position the connector switch 13 in the open position OP. At this time, the switch terminal 132 contacts the connector terminal 12 and the component terminal 21 respectively to open the electrical connection between the connector terminal 12 and the component terminal 21 (that is, the conductive component 2 of the electronic device), so that the switch terminal 132 forms a circuit and transmits electrical signals such as power signals between the connector terminal 12 and the component terminal 21 (that is, the conductive component 2 of the electronic device), so that the electronic device equipped with the electrical connector 1 can operate normally.

[0072] like Fig.15 As shown, when the connector switch 13 is forced to move to the closed position CP, and the force on the connector switch 13 is less than the predetermined operating force, the shell elastic buckle structure 142 enters the switch closed buckle groove 1312 and elastically buckles the switch rubber core 131 to position the connector switch 13 in the closed position CP. At this time, the switch terminal 132 leaves the component terminal 21 to close the electrical connection between the connector terminal 12 and the component terminal 21 (that is, the conductive component 2 of the electronic device), and the electrical connection between the electrical connector 1 and the conductive component 2 can be released without unplugging the electrical connector 1 from the plugged conductive component 2 to stop transmitting electrical signals such as power signals between the connector terminal 12 and the component terminal 21 (that is, the conductive component 2 of the electronic device). In this way, the number of plug-in and unplug times of the electrical connector 1 in the electronic device can be reduced to increase the service life of the electrical connector 1. In addition, there is no need to reserve space inside the electronic device for unplugging the electrical connector 1, so that the electrical connector 1 can be used for thin and short electronic devices.

[0073] When the connector switch 13 is subjected to a force greater than a predetermined operating force and moves in the core switch receiving groove 111, the switch core 131 can force the shell elastic buckle structure 142 to elastically deform, so that the shell elastic buckle structure 142 passes through the switch protrusion 1313 and leaves the switch opening buckle groove 1311 or leaves the switch closing buckle groove 1312, thereby releasing the shell elastic buckle structure 142 from elastically buckling the switch core 131, so that the connector switch 13 can move in the core switch receiving groove 111.

[0074] In addition, it should be noted that in the above embodiment, when the shell elastic buckle structure 142 is elastically deformed and passes through the switch protrusion 1313, the metal shell 14 will rub or collide with the switch rubber core 131 to generate vibrations or sounds of varying degrees, thereby determining the movement state of the switch rubber core 131.

[0075] In addition, it should be noted that when the force applied to the connector switch 13 is less than the predetermined operating force, the switch rubber core 131 cannot force the shell elastic buckle structure 142 to elastically deform. At this time, the shell elastic buckle structure 142 will elastically buckle the switch rubber core 131 in the switch opening buckle groove 1311 or in the switch closing buckle groove 1312, so that the connector switch 13 remains in the open position OP or the closed position CP.

[0076] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the metal shell 14 is joined to the connector core 11 to form a shell core joint body B, and the pulling belt body 15 is passed through the metal shell 14. When the pulling belt body 15 is subjected to a pulling force, the pulling belt body 15 can force the shell core joint body B to leave the conductive component 2 through the metal shell 14.

[0077] It should be noted that, since the pulling tape 15 can withstand the pulling force and force the shell rubber core joint body B to move, even if there is not enough space inside the electronic device, the electrical connector 1 can still be pulled out from the conductive component 2 of the electronic device by pulling the tape 15. Therefore, there is no need to reserve space inside the electronic device for pulling out the electrical connector 1, so the electrical connector 1 can be used for thin and short electronic devices.

[0078] At Figures 19 to 22 In the illustrated embodiment, the metal housing 14 has a housing longitudinal movement limiting structure 141 and a housing elastic buckle structure 142, wherein the housing longitudinal movement limiting structure 141 is disposed on the longitudinal movement path of the connector switch 13 to limit the longitudinal movement stroke of the connector switch 13 to prevent the connector switch 13 from longitudinally moving beyond a predetermined stroke and leaving the core switch accommodating groove 111.

[0079] At Figures 19 to 22 In the illustrated embodiment, the metal housing 14 further comprises a housing body 143, a housing left hollow hole 144 and a housing right hollow hole 145. The housing body 143 separates the housing left hollow hole 144 and the housing right hollow hole 145. The housing elastic buckle structure 142 is, for example, a relief structure or a bending structure disposed on the housing body 143. The switch protrusion 1313 is exposed through the housing left hollow hole 144 or the housing right hollow hole 145, so that an operating force can be applied to the switch protrusion 1313 to cause the connector switch 13 to be subjected to force.

[0080] In addition, the shell elastic buckle structure 142 has a shell elastic buckle left substructure 1421 and a shell elastic buckle right substructure 1422. The shell elastic buckle left substructure 1421 and the shell elastic buckle right substructure 1422 are buckled to the left and right sides of the switch rubber core 131 respectively, so that the buckle force on the left and right sides of the switch rubber core 131 is uniform, thereby preventing the switch rubber core 131 from tilting.

[0081] At Figures 19 to 23 In the illustrated embodiment, the component terminal 21 and the connector terminal 12 are clamping terminals, and the switch terminal 132 is a guillotine terminal, so that the connector terminal 12 can clamp the switch terminal 132, so that the connector terminal 12 and the switch terminal 132 are electrically connected, and the component terminal 21 can clamp the switch terminal 132, so that the component terminal 21 and the switch terminal 132 are electrically connected.

[0082] At Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the metal housing 14 has a housing transverse movement limiting structure 146. The housing transverse movement limiting structure 146 is a folded edge structure on the metal housing 14. The housing transverse movement limiting structure 146 is disposed on the transverse movement path of the connector switch 13 and can limit the transverse movement stroke of the connector switch 13 to prevent the connector switch 13 from transversely moving beyond a predetermined stroke and leaving the core switch receiving groove 111.

[0083] In addition, it should be noted that in the above embodiment, since the shell lateral movement limiting structure 146 is a folded edge structure on the metal shell 14 , the shell lateral movement limiting structure 146 can also be used to improve the structural strength of the metal shell 14 .

[0084] At Fig.15 In the embodiment shown, the connector core 11 has a core lateral movement limiting structure 112. The core lateral movement limiting structure 112 is disposed on the lateral movement path of the connector switch 13 and can limit the lateral movement stroke of the connector switch 13 to prevent the connector switch 13 from lateral movement and leaving the core switch accommodating groove 111.

[0085] It should be noted that the connector component assembly and the electrical connector thereof of the present application may also omit some components and are not limited to the above embodiments.

[0086] For example, the connector component assembly of the present application may only include: a conductive component, an electrical connector, and a metal shell. The electrical connector includes a connector core, a connector terminal, and a connector switch. The connector core has a core switch receiving groove. The connector terminal is embedded in the connector core. The connector switch is received in the core switch receiving groove, so that the connector switch can be forced to move to an open position or a closed position in the core switch receiving groove by the connector core, and the connector switch has a switch core and a switch terminal, and the switch terminal is embedded in the switch core. When the connector switch is forced to move to the open position, the switch terminal contacts the connector terminal and the component terminal respectively to open the electrical connection between the connector terminal and the conductive component. When the connector switch is forced to move to the closed position, the switch terminal leaves the component terminal to close the electrical connection between the connector terminal and the conductive component. The metal shell engages the connector core, and the metal shell has a shell longitudinal movement limiting structure, and the shell longitudinal movement limiting structure limits the longitudinal movement of the connector switch to prevent the connector switch from moving longitudinally and leaving the core switch receiving groove, and the metal shell also has a shell elastic buckle structure. When the connector switch is forced to move in the rubber core switch accommodating groove, and the force on the connector switch is greater than the predetermined operating force, the switch rubber core can force the shell elastic buckle structure to elastically deform, and release the shell elastic buckle structure from buckling the switch rubber core, so that the connector switch can move in the rubber core switch accommodating groove. When the connector switch is forced to move to the open position, and the force on the connector switch is less than the predetermined operating force, the shell elastic buckle structure elastically buckles the switch rubber core to position the connector switch in the open position. When the connector switch is forced to move to the closed position, and the force on the connector switch is less than the predetermined operating force, the shell elastic buckle structure elastically buckles the switch rubber core to position the connector switch in the closed position. The component terminal and the connector terminal are clamping terminals, and the switch terminal is a guillotine terminal.

[0087] In addition, the electrical connector of the present application includes a connector core, a connector terminal, a connector switch and a metal shell. The connector core has a core switch receiving groove. The connector terminal is embedded in the connector core. The connector switch is received in the core switch receiving groove, so that the connector switch can be forced to move to an open position or a closed position in the core switch receiving groove by the connector core, and the connector switch has a switch core and a switch terminal, and the switch terminal is embedded in the switch core. When the connector switch is forced to move to the open position, the switch terminal contacts the connector terminal and the conductive member respectively to open the electrical connection between the connector terminal and the conductive member. When the connector switch is forced to move to the closed position, the switch terminal leaves the conductive member to close the electrical connection between the connector terminal and the conductive member. The metal shell engages the connector core, and the metal shell has a shell longitudinal movement limiting structure, and the shell longitudinal movement limiting structure limits the longitudinal movement of the connector switch to prevent the connector switch from longitudinally moving and leaving the core switch receiving groove, and the metal shell also has a shell elastic buckle structure. When the connector switch is forced to move in the rubber core switch accommodating groove, and the force on the connector switch is greater than the predetermined operating force, the switch rubber core can force the shell elastic buckle structure to elastically deform, and release the shell elastic buckle structure from buckling the switch rubber core, so that the connector switch can move in the rubber core switch accommodating groove. When the connector switch is forced to move to the open position, and the force on the connector switch is less than the predetermined operating force, the shell elastic buckle structure elastically buckles the switch rubber core to position the connector switch in the open position. When the connector switch is forced to move to the closed position, and the force on the connector switch is less than the predetermined operating force, the shell elastic buckle structure elastically buckles the switch rubber core to position the connector switch in the closed position.

[0088] In summary, the present application provides a connector component assembly and an electrical connector thereof. The provided electrical connector can be used in electronic devices to transmit electrical signals, and has a connector switch for stopping the transmission of electrical signals, so as to reduce the number of plugging and unplugging of the electrical connector in the electronic device and increase the service life of the electrical connector. In addition, the electrical connector can be optionally provided with a pulling belt to receive the pulling force and force the electrical connector to move. Therefore, even if there is not enough space inside the electronic device, the electrical connector can still be pulled out by pulling the belt. Therefore, there is no need to reserve space inside the electronic device for pulling out the electrical connector.
