Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a connector and accessories of electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, connector welding is a key link to ensure stable connections between electronic components. Conventional connector welding methods mainly include surface mount technology (SMT), dual in-line package (DIP) and their combination SMT+DIP. These welding methods have their own advantages and are suitable for different types of electronic products and manufacturing needs.

[0003] SMT welding is a modern electronic assembly technology that achieves electrical connection and mechanical fixation by directly mounting the connector on the surface of the printed circuit board (PCB) and curing the solder paste in a high-temperature furnace. SMT welding has the advantages of high efficiency, precision, and space saving, and is suitable for high-density and miniaturized electronic products.

[0004] DIP welding is a traditional electronic packaging method, which forms a firm electrical connection by inserting the connector pins into the sockets on the PCB board, and then going through the process of solder paste curing and high-temperature furnace heating. DIP welding has the characteristics of large pin spacing, good heat dissipation performance, and easy maintenance. It is suitable for electronic products that have certain requirements for pin spacing and heat dissipation performance.

[0005] In some cases, in order to meet more complex connection requirements, manufacturers will use a combination of SMT+DIP soldering. This method combines the advantages of both SMT and DIP soldering methods, not only realizing the mounting of the connector on the surface of the PCB board, but also enhancing the firmness of the connection by inserting the pins into the jacks. However, whether it is SMT, DIP or SMT+DIP soldering methods, there are some inherent problems and limitations.

[0006] First of all, the traditional welding method requires a complex SMT or DIP process, including brushing solder paste, patching, furnace and other steps. These steps are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also require high-precision equipment and skilled operators, thereby increasing production costs and labor costs.

[0007] Secondly, during the heating process in a high-temperature furnace, the connector may be deformed due to thermal expansion and contraction, which may affect the performance and reliability of the connector.

[0008] In addition, if the connector needs to be replaced, the traditional welding method requires first removing the original connector from the PCB board and then performing a new welding. This is not only cumbersome to operate, but may also cause damage to the PCB board. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0075] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0076] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to implement different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0077] 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. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a connector 1 is applied to an electronic device to promote stable transmission and efficient connection of internal signals. The electronic device is equipped with a variety of accessories to support the normal use of the electronic device, such as but not limited to a circuit board 2 and a connector 1. The connector 1 is assembled and connected with the circuit board 2 to ensure stable transmission and efficient connection of internal signals of the electronic device. Alternatively, the connector 1 is plugged with another connector in the electronic device to achieve signal transmission. For example, the connector 1 in this application is a female connector, and a male connector is provided in the electronic device, and the two are plugged and connected.

[0079] The connector 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first end 11 is, for example, a head, that is, an end that forms a precise plug connection with a male connector to ensure seamless signal transmission. The second end 12 is, for example, a tail, that is, an end that is connected to a circuit board 2 to construct an internal signal network of an electronic device.

[0080] The connector 1 includes a shielding structure 13, an insulating structure 14, a shell structure 15 and a terminal assembly 16, which cooperate together to provide a stable and reliable signal connection for the electronic device.

[0081] The shielding structure 13 is located at the first end 11 and connected to the insulating structure 14 to form an effective electromagnetic shielding layer, which effectively isolates external electromagnetic interference and ensures the pure transmission of the signal inside the connector 1. The local position of the insulating structure 14 can support the shielding structure 13 to ensure its stable operation.

[0082] The insulating structure 14 is made of, for example, a material with insulating properties, and can isolate different signal terminals in the terminal assembly 16 from each other to prevent signal crosstalk, while supporting and fixing the terminal assembly 16 and the shielding structure 13 .

[0083] The shell structure 15 is sleeved on the outside of the insulating structure 14, which not only enhances the mechanical strength of the connector 1, but also provides an additional protective barrier to prevent external factors from causing damage to the inside of the connector 1. The insulating structure 14 can also play a role in partial support for the shell structure 15, providing it with mechanical strength, and the shell structure 15 can provide protection to prevent external interference to its interior, thereby improving the overall stability and safety.

[0084] The shell structure 15 is attached to the circuit board 2, and the shell structure 15 is detachably connected to the circuit board 2 through the fastener 3, which improves the convenience of installing and removing the connector 1. The fastener 3 is, for example, a bolt or a screw, which can improve the stability during installation and is also convenient for replacing the connector 1.

[0085] Part of the structure of the terminal assembly 16 is buried in the insulating structure 14 to fix the terminal assembly 16 and ensure the stability of the terminal assembly 16 to prevent it from shaking or shifting and failing to form a aligning connection with the male connector. Another part of the structure is exposed to facilitate connection with the male connector or the circuit board 2 to achieve signal transmission.

[0086] The terminal assembly 16 includes a plurality of groups of first conductive terminals 161 and a plurality of groups of second conductive terminals 162. The first conductive terminals 161 and the second conductive terminals 162 at the second end 12 pass through the insulating structure 14, and the first conductive terminals 161 and the second conductive terminals 162 are arranged alternately in sequence along the first direction of the connector 1, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of signal transmission. They avoid each other and form a regular arrangement, and along the second direction of the connector 1, the outermost edges of the first conductive terminals 161 and the second conductive terminals 162 are in a flush state, which can ensure the electrical connection between the terminal assembly 16 and the circuit board 2, and meet the high frequency requirements of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 4.0.

[0087] The connector 1 has a first direction (refer to Figure 1 X-axis shown), the second direction (refer to Figure 1 Y axis shown) and thickness direction (refer to Figure 1 The first direction is, for example, the width direction of the connector 1, and the second direction is, for example, the length direction of the connector 1. The first direction, the second direction, and the thickness direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0088] The first side portion 24 of the circuit board 2 is provided with a conductive sheet 22, and the connector 1 is embedded in the circuit board 2, which is conducive to optimizing the size in the thickness direction and reducing the overall thickness. The first conductive terminal 161 and the second conductive terminal 162 are electrically connected to the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 in a contact manner. Compared with the welding method in the related art, the connection method in the present application is simple, which can effectively reduce the surface mounting technology process and manpower, making the process operation smoother and effectively improving production efficiency. The contact connection does not require a high-temperature welding process, which effectively avoids the problem of material deformation that may be caused by high-temperature welding.

[0089] Along the thickness direction of the connector 1, both side surfaces of the circuit board 2 are lower than the surface of the connector 1, so that the connector 1 is completely embedded in the circuit board 2, optimizing the overall thickness after assembly, helping to promote the thinning development of electronic devices and meet the needs of modern consumers for thinner and lighter products.

[0090] The connector 1 provided in this embodiment adopts a contact connection with the circuit board, eliminating the welding process, effectively reducing the surface mounting technology process and labor costs, making the operation smoother and improving production efficiency. And because the welding-free method does not need to go through the heating process of a high-temperature furnace, the connector will not be deformed, thereby ensuring the performance and reliability of the connector. If the connector needs to be replaced, it can be easily disassembled by removing the fasteners, without the need for complicated welding operations, which is convenient and quick. In addition, the thickness of the connector 1 is less than the thickness of the circuit board 2, which is conducive to the thin design of electronic equipment.

[0091] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the first conductive terminal 161 includes a plurality of first conductive bodies 1611, and the plurality of first conductive bodies 1611 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the first direction of the connector 1. For example, four first conductive bodies 1611 are provided, and the shapes of the four first conductive bodies 1611 can be the same or different. The shape can be, for example, the width, length, and extension path of the first conductive body 1611. The signal function of each first conductive body 1611 can be the same or different, depending on the actual situation.

[0092] The first conductive body 1611 includes a first main body 16111 and a first elastic arm 16112, wherein the first main body 16111 is connected to the first elastic arm 16112, and the first elastic arm 16112 is configured to abut against the circuit board 2. The first main body 16111 is buried in the insulating structure 14, and the first main body 16111 can be bent and extended along the first direction or the second direction to change the extension path of the first main body 16111, thereby forming mutual avoidance, forming an orderly arrangement, and avoiding mutual interference.

[0093] It should be noted that the width between two adjacent first bodies 16111 can be designed based on the signal transmission situation, and the widths at different positions of a single first body 16111 can be the same or different, depending on the actual situation.

[0094] The first elastic arm 16112 passes through the insulating structure 14 to achieve contact connection with the circuit board 2 to meet signal transmission requirements.

[0095] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the first elastic arm 16112 includes a first bending section 161121, a first straight section 161122, a first inclined section 161123 and a second bending section 161124 connected in sequence. The first bending section 161121 is bent relative to the first body 16111 and extends along the thickness direction of the connector 1, that is, it serves as the starting part of the first elastic arm 16112 and extends downward. The first straight section 161122 is bent relative to the first bending section 161121 and extends along the second direction of the connector 1, that is, it extends in a direction away from the first body 16111, extending the overall length of the first elastic arm 16112 along the second direction, so as to ensure that the first elastic arm 16112 can abut against the circuit board 2, and provide a basis for subsequent tilting and bending.

[0096] It should be noted that the descriptions of directions in the present application, such as up, down, etc., are all illustrative based on the directions in the diagrams for the convenience of understanding and description, and do not constitute limitations to the present application.

[0097] The first inclined section 161123 is inclined relative to the first straight section 161122, that is, it is inclined upward, so that the first inclined section 161123 and the first straight section 161122 form a first preset angle, and the first preset angle is, for example, any value between 100° and 150°. The larger the first preset angle, the tighter the contact connection between the first elastic arm 16112 and the circuit board 2 can be ensured.

[0098] The extension direction of the first inclined section 161123 and the extension direction of the first bending section 161121 are in opposite directions, that is, the first bending section 161121 has a downward extension trend, and the first inclined section 161123 has an upward inclination trend, forming a rotation path, which can ensure that the size of the first elastic arm 16112 in the thickness direction of the connector 1 is not too large, which is conducive to thinning the overall thickness of the connector 1 and realizing a compact design.

[0099] The second bending section 161124 is bent relative to the first inclined section 161123 and extends in the thickness direction of the connector 1, that is, in the vertical direction, which can increase the abutment surface of the second bending section 161124 and improve the stability of the connection. Among them, each turning connection position in the first elastic arm 16112 is chamfered to reduce sharp parts and effectively avoid damage to other parts of the connector 1.

[0100] Exemplarily, the first elastic arm 16112 includes a first turning arc segment 161125 and a second turning arc segment 161126, the first inclined segment 161123 is connected to the first turning arc segment 161125, the first turning arc segment 161125 is configured to be chamfered for the first time, and the first turning arc segment 161125 is used to abut against the circuit board 2 to form a contact connection therewith. The notch of the first turning arc segment 161125 is located on the side away from the circuit board 2, so that the arc surface of the first turning arc segment 161125 can form an elastic abutment with the circuit board 2, thereby avoiding damage to the circuit board 2 and improving the safety of the connection.

[0101] The first turning arc segment 161125 is connected to the second turning arc segment 161126, and the second turning arc segment 161126 is constructed as a second chamfering treatment, and the notch of the first turning arc segment 161125 is set in the opposite direction to the notch of the second turning arc segment 161126, that is, the notch of the second turning arc segment 161126 faces one side of the circuit board 2.

[0102] The second turning arc section 161126 is connected to the second bending section 161124, and the second bending section 161124 extends upward, thereby changing the extension path of the first elastic arm 16112. The second bending section 161124 is the free end of the first elastic arm 16112. When the first elastic arm 16112 is squeezed by the circuit board 2, the first turning arc section 161125 is squeezed, so that the first elastic arm 16112 is deformed, and the first turning arc section 161125 drives the first inclined section 161123 and the first turning arc section 161125 to move, thereby changing the angle of the first preset angle and the position of the second bending section 161124. Among them, the second bending section 161124 will eventually abut against other components of the connector 1 to prevent the further movement of the second bending section 161124, thereby ensuring that the second turning arc section 161126 and the circuit board 2 are always in contact, thereby enhancing the dynamic stability and adaptability of the connection.

[0103] It should be noted that the chamfering treatment is not limited to the first inclined section 161123 and the second bent section 161124 in the first elastic arm 16112. Chamfering treatment can also be performed between the first bent section 161121 and the first straight section 161122, and between the first straight section 161122 and the first inclined section 161123. This reduces sharp parts, avoids damage to the circuit board 2 or other components during the connection process, and improves the safety of the connection.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the second conductive terminal 162 includes a plurality of second conductive bodies 1621, and the plurality of second conductive bodies 1621 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the second direction of the connector 1. For example, four second conductive bodies 1621 are provided, and the shapes of the four second conductive bodies 1621 can be the same or different. The shape can be, for example, the width, length, and extension path of the second conductive body 1621. The signal function of each second conductive body 1621 can be the same or different, depending on the actual situation.

[0105] The second conductive body 1621 includes a second main body 16211 and a second elastic arm 16212 . The second main body 16211 is arranged opposite to the first main body 16111 along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to optimize the spatial layout and reduce mutual interference between signals.

[0106] The second body 16211 is connected to the second elastic arm 16212, the second body 16211 is buried in the insulating structure 14, the second elastic arm 16212 passes through the insulating structure 14 and abuts against the circuit board 2, so as to achieve contact connection with the circuit board 2 to meet the signal transmission. The second body 16211 can be bent and extended along the first direction or the second direction to change the extension path of the second body 16211, thereby forming mutual avoidance, forming an orderly arrangement, and avoiding mutual interference.

[0107] It should be noted that the width between two adjacent second bodies 16211 can be designed based on the signal transmission situation, and different positions of a single second body 16211 can have different or the same width, which shall be subject to the actual situation.

[0108] Among them, the projection area of ​​the second elastic arm 16212 along the first direction of the connector 1 at least partially overlaps with the projection area of ​​the first elastic arm 16112 along the first direction of the connector 1, so that the second elastic arm 16212 and the first elastic arm 16112 remain on the same plane, ensuring that the second elastic arm 16212 and the first elastic arm 16112 can simultaneously form a contact connection with the circuit board 2.

[0109] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the second elastic arm 16212 includes a third bending section 162121, a second straight section 162122, a second inclined section 162123 and a fourth bending section 162124 connected in sequence. The third bending section 162121 is bent relative to the second body 16211 and extends along the thickness direction of the connector 1, that is, it serves as the starting part of the second elastic arm 16212 and extends downward.

[0110] The second straight section 162122 is bent relative to the third bent section 162121 and extends along the second direction of the connector 1, that is, extends away from the second body 16211, extending the overall length of the second elastic arm 16212 along the second direction to ensure that the second elastic arm 16212 can abut against the circuit board 2 and provide a basis for subsequent tilting and bending.

[0111] The projection area of ​​the second straight section 162122 along the first direction of the connector 1 does not overlap with the projection area of ​​the first elastic arm 16112 along the first direction of the connector 1, so that the second straight section 162122 and the first straight section 161122 of the first elastic arm 16112 form a staggered arrangement to avoid each other. Among them, the extension length of the third bending section 162121 is different from the extension length of the first bending section 161121, thereby forming a staggered design between the second straight section 162122 and the first straight section 161122. In actual application, as long as the stress of the second elastic arm 16212 and the first elastic arm 16112 is satisfied, the specific length shall be subject to the actual situation.

[0112] The second inclined section 162123 is inclined relative to the second straight section 162122, that is, it is inclined upward, so that the second inclined section 162123 and the second straight section 162122 form a second preset angle, and the second preset angle is, for example, any value between 100° and 150°. The larger the second preset angle, the tighter the contact connection between the second elastic arm 16212 and the circuit board 2.

[0113] The extension direction of the second inclined section 162123 and the extension direction of the third bending section 162121 are in opposite directions, that is, the third bending section 162121 has a downward extension trend, and the second inclined section 162123 has an upward inclination trend, forming a rotation path, which can ensure that the size of the second elastic arm 16212 in the thickness direction of the connector 1 is not too large, which is conducive to thinning the overall thickness of the connector 1 and realizing a compact design.

[0114] The fourth bending section 162124 is bent relative to the second inclined section 162123 and extends in the thickness direction of the connector 1, that is, extends in the vertical direction, which can increase the abutment surface of the fourth bending section 162124 and improve the stability of the connection. Among them, each turning connection position in the second elastic arm 16212 is chamfered to reduce sharp parts and effectively avoid damage to other parts of the connector 1.

[0115] Exemplarily, the second elastic arm 16212 includes a third turning arc segment 162125 and a fourth turning arc segment 162126, the second inclined segment 162123 is connected to the third turning arc segment 162125, the third turning arc segment 162125 is configured to be chamfered for the third time, and the third turning arc segment 162125 abuts against the circuit board 2 to form a contact connection therewith. The notch of the third turning arc segment 162125 is located on the side away from the circuit board 2, so that the arc surface of the third turning arc segment 162125 can form an elastic abutment with the circuit board 2, thereby avoiding damage to the circuit board 2 and improving the safety of the connection.

[0116] The third turning arc segment 162125 is connected to the fourth turning arc segment 162126, and the fourth turning arc segment 162126 is constructed to be chamfered for the fourth time, and the notch of the third turning arc segment 162125 is arranged in an opposite direction to the notch of the fourth turning arc segment 162126, that is, the notch of the fourth turning arc segment 162126 faces one side of the circuit board 2.

[0117] The fourth turning arc section 162126 is connected to the fourth bending section 162124, and the fourth bending section 162124 extends upward, thereby changing the extension path of the second elastic arm 16212. The fourth bending section 162124 is the free end of the second elastic arm 16212. When the second elastic arm 16212 is squeezed by the circuit board 2, the third turning arc section 162125 is squeezed, so that the second elastic arm 16212 is deformed, and the third turning arc section 162125 drives the second inclined section 162123 and the third turning arc section 162125 to move, thereby changing the angle of the second preset angle and the position of the fourth bending section 162124. Among them, the fourth bending section 162124 will eventually abut against other components of the connector 1 to prevent the fourth bending section 162124 from further moving, thereby ensuring that the fourth turning arc section 162126 and the circuit board 2 are always in contact, thereby enhancing the dynamic stability and adaptability of the connection.

[0118] The projection areas of the third turning arc segment 162125 and the fourth turning arc segment 162126 along the first direction of the connector 1 overlap with the projection area of ​​the first elastic arm 16112 along the first direction of the connector 1, that is, the projection area of ​​the third turning arc segment 162125 along the first direction overlaps with the projection area of ​​the first turning arc segment 161125 along the first direction, and the projection area of ​​the fourth turning arc segment 162126 along the first direction overlaps with the projection area of ​​the second turning arc segment 161126 along the first direction, so as to ensure that the first elastic arm 16112 and the second elastic arm 16212 remain flush with the side away from the first end 11, and the first elastic arm 16112 and the second elastic arm 16212 synchronously abut against the circuit board 2 to achieve electrical connection.

[0119] It should be noted that the second elastic arm 16212 is not limited to being chamfered between the second inclined section 162123 and the fourth bent section 162124, but can also be chamfered between the third bent section 162121 and the second straight section 162122, and between the second straight section 162122 and the second inclined section 162123, thereby reducing sharp parts, avoiding damage to the circuit board 2 or other components during the connection process, and improving the safety of the connection.

[0120] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the first elastic arm 16112 can be a barbed hook structure to achieve elastic contact with the circuit board 2. The hook body is bent and extended upward with the hook mouth facing upward to ensure that the projection of the first elastic arm 16112 in the second direction can fall on the inner side of the boundary of the insulating structure 14, effectively utilizing the thickness space of the connector 1, avoiding increasing the overall thickness of the connector 1, and facilitating the thin design of the connector 1. When the first conductive terminal 161 is in contact connection with the circuit board 2, the first elastic arm 16112 will be deformed and the opening of the hook mouth will become smaller.

[0121] It should be noted that the second elastic arm 16212 can also be a barbed hook structure, and its setting method is the same or similar to the setting method of the first elastic arm 16112 mentioned above. When the second conductive terminal 162 is contact-connected with the circuit board 2, the second elastic arm 16212 will also be deformed, which will not be repeated here.

[0122] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the connector 1 includes an isolation seat 17, which is provided with a plurality of first through holes 171. The first elastic arm 16112 and the second elastic arm 16212 are respectively inserted into the corresponding first through holes 171 to separate adjacent first elastic arms 16112, adjacent second elastic arms 16212, or adjacent first elastic arms 16112 and second elastic arms 16212, etc., to avoid the risk of electrical short circuit caused by direct contact between the above-mentioned elastic arms.

[0123] The first through hole 171 is, for example, rectangular in shape, and has sufficient accommodation space to place the first elastic arm 16112 or the second elastic arm 16212, ensuring that the first elastic arm 16112 or the second elastic arm 16212 can remain stable after insertion and is not easy to shake or fall off. Among them, although each first through hole 171 has similar rectangular features in structure, they show a certain flexibility in size. For example, along the thickness direction of the connector 1, the lengths of each first through hole 171 can be the same, or they can be different as needed; similarly, along the first direction of the connector 1, the widths of each first through hole 171 can also be consistent or different. This flexibility in size enables the isolation seat 17 to better adapt to elastic arms of different sizes and shapes, further improving the versatility and practicality of the connector.

[0124] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 9As shown, a shielding wall 172 may also be provided on the inner side wall of the first through hole 171, and the shielding wall 172 is located on a side of the first through hole 171 away from the insulating structure 14. The following takes the first elastic arm 16112 as an example to further explain the connection between the first elastic arm 16112 and the shielding wall 172, so as to avoid unnecessary contact with adjacent elastic arms and ensure the stability and safety of the connector 1.

[0125] When the first elastic arm 16112 is not squeezed by the circuit board 2, the first elastic arm 16112 is reset, and the first turning arc section 161125 drives the first inclined section 161123 and the second turning arc section 161126 to move toward the side of the second end 12 to restore to the original position. The second bending section 161124 can abut against the shielding wall 172 to prevent the second bending section 161124 from further moving along the second direction, effectively preventing the second bending section 161124 from accidentally detaching from the first through hole 171, and avoiding the second bending section 161124 from moving outside the first through hole 171 and contacting the adjacent first elastic arm 16112 or second elastic arm 16212, resulting in electrical connection problems.

[0126] It is understandable that a similar shielding wall (not shown in the figure) can also be provided on one side of the first through hole 171 located at the first end 11. Such a design can also effectively prevent the second bending section 161124 from further movement when the first elastic arm 16112 is squeezed by the circuit board 2, thereby preventing a gap or separation between the first elastic arm 16112 and the circuit board 2, thereby ensuring a good connection effect. The setting of such a shielding wall can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions to meet different application requirements.

[0127] It should be noted that the connection method between the second elastic arm 16212 and the first through hole 171 is the same or similar to the connection method between the first elastic arm 16112 and the first through hole 171. This means that the second elastic arm 16212 will also be restricted by the shielding wall to prevent it from being separated from the preset position, thereby maintaining the stability and safety of the connector 1. The specific connection method refers to the description between the first elastic arm 16112 and the first through hole 171, and will not be repeated here.

[0128] The isolation seat 17 in this embodiment can effectively limit the movement range of the elastic arm and prevent unnecessary contact and electrical connection problems. The flexible setting of the shielding wall can improve the stability, applicability and overall performance of the connector 1, and also provide users with more convenience and protection when selecting and using the connector 1.

[0129] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 7As shown, the isolation seat 17 is disposed at the second end 12 and connected to the insulating structure 14 to achieve an assembly connection and improve the stability of the isolation seat 17 during installation.

[0130] The isolation seat 17 includes, for example, an isolation body 173 and a connecting branch 174, and the connecting branch 174 is connected to the isolation body 173. The isolation body 173 is located at the second end 12, and is closely connected to the insulating structure 14 along the second direction of the connector 1, and the connecting branch 174 is closely connected to the insulating structure 14 along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to improve the overall stability of the isolation body 173. The connecting branch 174 can be one or more, and can be flexibly designed according to actual needs.

[0131] First example

[0132] The connecting support 174 can be provided as one, for example, in the shape of a flat plate, and attached to the insulating structure 14. The connecting support 174 and the insulating structure 14 can be connected by snapping or buckling, etc., to prevent the isolation seat 17 from being separated.

[0133] Second example

[0134] For example, two connecting branches 174 are provided, and the two connecting branches 174 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the connector 1, and each connecting branch 174 is fixedly connected to the isolation body 173. The two connecting branches 174 sandwich the insulating structure 14 in the middle, thereby improving the stability of the isolation seat 17 and preventing the isolation seat 17 from shaking or misaligning during use, thereby ensuring the alignment and installation accuracy of the first elastic arm 16112 or the second elastic arm 16212.

[0135] Third Example

[0136] The connecting branch 174 includes a first connecting branch 1741 and two second connecting branches 1742, and the first connecting branch 1741 and the second connecting branch 1742 are arranged on both sides along the thickness direction of the connector 1. The first connecting branch 1741 can be close to the middle position of the isolation body 173, and the two second connecting branches 1742 are arranged at intervals along the first direction of the connector 1. The first connecting branch 1741 and the two second connecting branches 1742 are fixed at three different positions, which can further improve the stability of the isolation seat 17 and the insulation structure 14 when they are installed.

[0137] Among them, for example, embedding grooves 1431 are provided on the insulating structure 14, and the number of the embedding grooves 1431 corresponds to the number of connecting branches 174, so that the first connecting branch 1741 and the second connecting branch 1742 can be embedded in the corresponding embedding grooves 1431, which can not only realize the positioning connection, but also ensure the flatness during the connection, avoiding increasing the thickness of the connector 1.

[0138] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, a limit buckle 175 is provided on the connecting support 174, and the connecting support 174 is limit-connected with the shielding structure 13 through the limit buckle 175, which is easy to assemble and improves the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0139] The limiting buckle 175 is arranged on the side of the connecting support 174 away from the insulating structure 14. For example, the limiting buckle 175 can be one or two, and the two limiting buckles 175 are arranged at intervals. Exemplarily, the limiting buckle 175 includes a limiting protrusion 1751 and a wedge 1752. The limiting protrusion 1751 protrudes from the connecting support 174, and the limiting protrusion 1751 is fixedly connected to the wedge 1752. The wedge 1752 is located on the side of the limiting protrusion 1751 close to the first end 11, so as to facilitate connection with the shielding structure 13. The shielding structure 13 is provided with a limiting through hole matching the limiting buckle 175 to achieve limited plug-in.

[0140] During the installation process, the shielding structure 13 slides along the wedge surface of the wedge 1752. This design makes the installation process smoother. When the limit buckle 175 completely enters the limit hole 13122, the limit convex body 1751 and the limit hole 13122 interfere with each other to prevent the limit convex body 1751 from being separated from the limit hole 13122, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the isolation seat 17 and the shielding structure 13.

[0141] The isolation seat 17 and its connection with the insulation structure 14 and the shielding structure 13 in this embodiment significantly improve the stability and installation convenience of the connector 1, which not only optimizes the connection structure but also improves the overall performance and reliability of the connector 1.

[0142] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 10 As shown, the shielding structure 13 includes an outer shielding member 131, which is a cylindrical structure, so that the outer shielding member 131 can be sleeved on the insulating structure 14 to shield and isolate the outside, avoid electromagnetic interference, and ensure the stability and quality of signal transmission.

[0143] The outer shielding member 131 includes a first part 1311 and two second parts 1312. The first part 1311 is a cylindrical structure, which not only enhances the overall structural strength of the connector 1, but more importantly, provides a continuous electromagnetic shielding layer for the connector 1, effectively blocking electromagnetic interference from the outside and protecting the pure transmission of internal signals.

[0144] The first part 1311 is located at the first end 11, and is spaced apart from the terminal assembly 16 of the connector 1, to ensure that the male connector is not obstructed when inserted. The first part 1311 is provided with a plurality of contact spring arms 13111, and when plugged with the male connector, the plurality of contact spring arms 13111 can abut against the male connector, so that it is in close contact with the outer shielding member 131 or the terminal assembly 16, to ensure that the signal can be transmitted normally.

[0145] Exemplarily, the shapes of the multiple contact spring arms 13111 can be the same or different. For example, the contact spring arm 13111 can be in the shape of a hemispherical convex hull, and its smooth surface can protect the male connector; or, the contact spring arm 13111 can be in the shape of a V, which effectively contacts the male connector, and the tip portion is rounded to avoid scratching the male connector and extend the service life of the male connector; or, the contact spring arm 13111 can be in the shape of a spring sheet, and its free end can abut against the male connector, and the abutting position of the free end is chamfered to avoid damaging the male connector, thereby optimizing the contact effect and extending the service life of the connector 1.

[0146] The second part 1312 is located at the second end 12, and the two second parts 1312 are symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction of the connector 1, and are both connected to the insulating structure 14. Exemplarily, a limiting spring piece 13121 is arranged on the second part 1312, and the second part 1312 can be detachably connected to the insulating structure 14 through the limiting spring piece 13121, and the limiting installation is effectively improved. The limiting spring piece 13121 is, for example, one, or multiple. When there are multiple limiting spring pieces 13121, they are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of the connector 1 and / or symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to ensure the balance and stability of the installation. A limiting groove 1432 matching the limiting spring piece 13121 is arranged on the insulating structure 14, and the fixed end of the limiting spring piece 13121 is connected to the second part 1312, and the free end of the limiting spring piece 13121 can extend into the limiting groove 1432 to achieve snap connection. When disassembly is required, the limiting spring piece 13121 can be deformed under the action of external force, so as to easily break away from the limiting groove 1432, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly.

[0147] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 10As shown, the connector 1 effectively improves electromagnetic compatibility and signal transmission quality through the optimized shielding structure 13. Among them, at least one limiting hole 13122 is provided on the second part 1312 of the outer shielding member 131, and the limiting hole 13122 and the limiting buckle 175 are precisely plugged together, thereby achieving the detachable assembly of the outer shielding member 131 and other components of the connector 1. The number of the limiting holes 13122 is consistent with the number of the limiting buckles 175, so as to achieve one-to-one alignment and plugging, which simplifies the assembly process and enhances the stability of the connection.

[0148] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 11 As shown, in order to further improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the connector 1, the shielding structure 13 also includes an intermediate shielding member 132. The intermediate shielding member 132 is arranged between the first body 16111 of the first conductive terminal 161 and the second body 16211 of the second conductive terminal 162, forming a physical barrier to effectively block the electromagnetic interference between the first conductive terminal 161 and the second conductive terminal 162, thereby ensuring the purity and stability of signal transmission.

[0149] Part of the structure of the intermediate shield 132 is buried in the insulating structure 14, which not only enhances the stability of the intermediate shield 132, but also avoids the loosening or displacement problems that may occur in a vibration or impact environment through the fixing effect of the insulating structure 14. Part of the structure of the intermediate shield 132 can pass through the insulating structure 14 to facilitate connection with the corresponding part.

[0150] For example, the intermediate shielding member 132 is provided with two first protrusions 1321, which are symmetrically arranged along the second direction of the connector 1, and the first protrusions 1321 can pass through the insulating structure 14 and abut against the shell structure 15, thereby achieving a reliable grounding connection. This design not only enhances the electrical safety of the connector 1, but also helps to guide possible electromagnetic interference into the ground, further improving the electromagnetic compatibility of the connector 1.

[0151] For another example, two second protrusions 1322 are provided on the intermediate shield 132, and the two second protrusions 1322 are symmetrically arranged along the second direction of the connector 1. The second protrusions 1322 can pass through the insulating structure 14, and the second protrusions 1322 can be in close contact with the corresponding parts on the male connector to ensure stable signal transmission. This design not only meets the signal transmission requirements of the connector 1, but also effectively avoids the influence of electromagnetic interference on the signal quality through the isolation effect of the intermediate shield 132.

[0152] The shielding structure 13 in this embodiment successfully creates a high-performance and high-stability connector 1 through the detachable assembly structure of the outer shielding member 131, the electromagnetic shielding and signal transmission functions of the middle shielding member 132, and the dual design of grounding and signal transmission. This connector can not only effectively improve electromagnetic compatibility, but also ensure the purity and stability of signal transmission, providing a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of modern electronic equipment.

[0153] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 14 As shown, the insulating structure 14 is made of a material with high insulation performance, and its main function is to isolate different signal terminals in the terminal assembly 16 to prevent signal interference and ensure pure signal transmission.

[0154] The insulating structure 14 includes, for example, a first insulating member 141, a second insulating member 142, and a third insulating member 143, which work together to form an insulating barrier for the connector 1. The first insulating member 141 and the second insulating member 142 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the connector 1 and attached to both sides of the middle shielding member 132 to fix the middle shielding member 132.

[0155] The first insulating member 141 is used to support and fix the first body 16111 of the first conductive terminal 161 . The first insulating member 141 can cover a portion of the structure of the first body 16111 to facilitate fixing the first body 16111 and improve the stability of the first conductive terminal 161 .

[0156] It can be understood that the function and role of the second insulating member 142 are the same or similar to those of the above-mentioned first insulating member 141. The second insulating member 142 is used to support and fix the second body 16211 of the second conductive terminal 162. The second insulating member 142 can cover part of the structure of the second body 16211 to facilitate the fixation of the second body 16211 and enhance the stability of the second conductive terminal 162.

[0157] The third insulating member 143 is injection molded to cover the first insulating member 141 and the second insulating member 142, which not only realizes the integration of the connector 1, but also enhances the insulation effect by tightly wrapping. In addition, the third insulating member 143 can also wrap a part of the terminal assembly 16 to play an additional supporting and fixing role.

[0171] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 15As shown, the shell structure 15 includes, for example, a shell 151 and at least one first shell support 152. The shell 151 is annular and is sleeved on the insulating structure 14 to be respectively connected to the third insulating member 143 of the insulating structure 14 and the second portion 1312 of the shielding structure 13. The first protrusion 1321 of the intermediate shielding member 132 in the shielding structure 13 passes through the insulating structure 14 and abuts against the shell 151.

The fasteners 3 are, for example, screws, bolts, etc., which are threadedly connected with the circuit board 2 to improve the reliability of the connection.

[0173] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first shell support body 152 can be one or two. The two first shell supports 152 can be arranged along the first direction of the connector 1. Each first shell support body 152 is integrally formed with the shell 151 to enhance the overall strength of the shell structure 15.

The accommodating space 21 penetrates the circuit board 2 along the thickness direction of the circuit board 2, and the cross-sectional shape of the accommodating space 21 is adapted to the shape of the connector 1 to ensure that the connector 1 can be embedded in the accommodating space 21, so that the two side surfaces of the circuit board 2 along the thickness direction of the connector 1 can be lower than the surface of the connector 1, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device accessories and facilitating the thin design of the electronic device.

[0176] The cross-sectional shape of the accommodating space 21 is, for example, a T-shape, which can limit the connector 1, such as movement in the first direction and the second direction. Exemplarily, the accommodating space 21 includes a first accommodating area 211 and a second accommodating area 212, the first accommodating area 211 and the second accommodating area 212 are connected, the first accommodating area 211 is configured to accommodate the second end 12 of the connector 1, and the second accommodating area 212 is configured to accommodate the first end 11 of the connector 1.

[0177] In this embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 , Fig.16 As shown, a conductive sheet 22 is disposed on the side wall surface of the accommodating space 21 that is disposed opposite to the first side portion 24, and the conductive sheet 22 is disposed corresponding to the terminal assembly 16 of the connector 1 to achieve contact-type electrical connection. The conductive sheet 22, for example, includes a plurality of electrical connectors 221, which are sequentially spaced along the side wall surface, and the electrical connectors 221 correspond to the first conductive terminals 161 and the second conductive terminals 162 of the connector 1 one by one and are contact-type connected.

[0178] The connecting ear 1521 of the shell structure 15 is attached to the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is provided with a screw hole 23. One end of the fastener 3 passes through the connecting ear 1521 and is threadedly connected to the screw hole 23 to improve the stability of the circuit board 2 and the connector 1 when connected. The fastener 3 is, for example, a screw or a bolt, which is simple and easy to implement. Two screw holes 23 can be provided to be consistent with the connecting ear 1521 to achieve balance.

[0179] It is understandable that the circuit board 2 is designed according to the specific functional requirements of the electronic device, and various electronic components, chips and circuit wiring are integrated thereon to achieve specific electrical functions and signal processing, etc.

[0180] The connector 1 adopts the connector 1 described in any embodiment of the present application, and the connector 1 has excellent electrical connection performance and mechanical stability, and can ensure stable and reliable connection with external devices or power supplies. The design of the connector 1 takes into account the compatibility with the circuit board 2, including factors such as pin layout, spacing, and size, to ensure that the two can fit closely.

[0181] During the design phase of the circuit board 2, corresponding soldering holes or sockets are reserved according to the soldering pin layout of the connector 1. The position, size and shape of the soldering holes or sockets are precisely matched with the soldering pins of the connector.

[0182] The electronic device accessory provided in this embodiment integrates high-quality connector 1 and circuit board 2 and adopts precise assembly process to achieve a stable connection between the two. This accessory not only improves the overall performance and reliability of the electronic device, but also simplifies the assembly and maintenance process of the electronic device, reducing costs and time consumption.

[0183] The connector provided by the present application changes the SMT welding method in the related art to a structure in which the spring point contacts the circuit board, and realizes the electrical connection and mechanical fixation between the connector and the circuit board through the elastic deformation of the elastic arm, eliminating the need to use solder paste and high-temperature furnace for welding in the related art, thereby improving the safety of the connector. At the same time, the connector also uses fasteners to fix the connector on the circuit board, further enhancing the firmness and stability of the connection.

[0184] The soldering-free method of the connector in this application brings many advantages. For example, it effectively reduces the SMT process and labor costs, makes the operation smoother, and improves production efficiency. Secondly, since there is no need to go through the heating process of a high-temperature furnace, the connector will not be deformed, thereby ensuring the performance and reliability of the connector. In addition, if the connector needs to be replaced, it can be easily disassembled by simply unscrewing the screws, without the need for complicated soldering operations, which is convenient and quick. Most importantly, this soldering-free method can also meet the requirements of high-frequency signal transmission such as USB 4.0, providing a more reliable and efficient connection solution for future electronic products.

[0185] In summary, the solder-free connector method has broad application prospects and important technical value in the field of electronic manufacturing. With the continuous development and upgrading of electronic products, this innovative connector fixing method will be more widely used and promoted.
