Abstract
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 assembly process of electronic devices, connectors are key components for signal transmission and power connection between printed circuit boards (PCBs) and external devices or internal components. Their design and layout are directly related to the overall performance, space utilization and manufacturing cost of the equipment. In related technologies, many connectors use a solder-free structure to simplify the assembly process and improve production efficiency. Such connectors are usually designed with a single-row layout, that is, all pins or contact points are arranged in the same direction.
[0003] However, this type of single-row solderless connector has a significant space utilization problem. Due to the long overall width of the connector, when they are installed on the PCB, they often need to occupy a relatively large board space. For example, in order to meet the installation requirements of single-row connectors, at least 12.35mm of clearance space is usually required on the PCB board to ensure that the connector can be installed smoothly without interfering with other components. However, the above space requirements not only limit the flexibility of component layout on the PCB board, but may also increase the overall size of the PCB board, thereby affecting the volume and weight of the final product, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight trend of the product.
[0004] In addition, the larger avoidance space also means that the available area for electronic components on the PCB is reduced, which may bring challenges to the optimization of signal transmission paths, heat dissipation design, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). In highly integrated and complex modern electronic devices, every inch of space is particularly valuable. Therefore, how to optimize the design of connectors and reduce the space they occupy on the PCB has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0065] 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.
[0066] 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.
[0067] 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.
[0068] 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.
[0069] The connector 1 has a thickness direction (refer to Figure 1 The Z axis shown), the first direction (refer to Figure 1 X-axis shown) and a second direction (reference Figure 1 The thickness direction, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0070] The connector 1 is embedded in the circuit board 2. Along the thickness direction, the surfaces on both sides 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 thin and light products.
[0071] In this embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the connector 1 has a second side 11 and a first side 12 arranged opposite to each other. The second side 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 first side 12 is, for example, a tail, that is, an end connected to a circuit board 2 to construct an internal signal network of an electronic device.
[0072] The connector 1 includes an insulating structure 13 and a terminal assembly 14. Part of the structure of the terminal assembly 14 is buried in the insulating structure 13. The insulating structure 13 is made of a material with insulating properties, for example, and can isolate different signal terminals in the terminal assembly 14 from each other to prevent signal crosstalk, while supporting and fixing the terminal assembly 14.
[0073] Part of the structure of the terminal assembly 14 is buried in the insulating structure 13 to fix the terminal assembly 14 and ensure the stability of the terminal assembly 14 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.
[0074] The terminal assembly 14 includes a first conductive part 141 and two groups of second conductive parts 142. The first conductive part 141 and the two groups of second conductive parts 142 are arranged relatively to each other along the thickness direction. That is, taking the orientation in the figure as an example, the first conductive part 141 is located below the second conductive part 142 and is arranged at intervals to avoid mutual interference.
[0075] The first conductive portion 141 located at the first side 12 passes through the insulating structure 13 along the first direction and abuts against the circuit board 2 , so that the first conductive portion 141 forms a contact connection with the circuit board 2 .
[0076] The two groups of second conductive portions 142 are symmetrically arranged along the second direction, and the two second conductive portions 142 located on the first side 12 can pass through the insulating structure 13 along the first direction and abut against the circuit board 2, so that the second conductive portions 142 and the circuit board 2 form a contact connection.
[0077] Conductive sheets 22 corresponding to the second conductive portion 142 and the first conductive portion 141 are disposed on the sides of the circuit board 2. For example, conductive sheets 22 are disposed on three sides of the circuit board 2 so as to respectively contact with the second conductive portion 142 and the first conductive portion 141 in a one-to-one manner.
[0078] The first conductive part 141 and the second conductive part 142 are electrically connected to the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 in a contact manner, which can effectively reduce the surface mounting technology process and manpower, making the process operation smoother and effectively improving production efficiency. In addition, the contact connection method does not require a high-temperature welding process, effectively avoiding the problem of material deformation that may be caused by high-temperature welding.
[0079] Since the solder-free method does not require the heating process of a high-temperature furnace, the connector will not be deformed, thereby ensuring the performance and reliability of the connector 1. In addition, the connector 1 and the circuit board 2 are detachably connected. If the connector 1 needs to be replaced, it only needs to be removed without complicated soldering operations, which is convenient and quick. The connector 1 is embedded in the circuit board 2, which is conducive to the thin design of the electronic equipment.
[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the first conductive part 141 includes a plurality of first conductive terminals 1411, which are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the second direction to avoid electrical connection. For example, 12 first conductive terminals 1411 may be provided, and the shapes of the 12 first conductive terminals 1411 may be the same or different, and the shape may refer to the width, length, and extension path of the first conductive terminal 1411. The signal functions of each first conductive terminal 1411 may be the same or different, depending on actual needs.
[0081] Each first conductive terminal 1411 includes a first conductor 14111 and a first elastic arm 14112. The first conductor 14111 is buried in the insulating structure 13 to fix it. The first conductor 14111 is connected to the first elastic arm 14112, and the first elastic arm 14112 can pass through the insulating structure 13 and abut against the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 to form a contact connection, thereby satisfying signal transmission.
[0082] A plurality of first conductors 14111 are arranged in sequence along the second direction, and each first conductor 14111 extends in the first direction. The width between two adjacent first conductors 14111 can be designed based on the signal transmission situation, and the width of a single first conductor 14111 at different positions can be the same or different, depending on the actual situation.
[0083] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the first elastic arm 14112 includes a first bending section 141121, a first straight section 141122, a first inclined section 141123 and a second bending section 141124 connected in sequence. The first bending section 141121 is bent relative to the first conductor 14111 and extends in the thickness direction, that is, it serves as the starting part of the first elastic arm 14112 and extends downward. The first straight section 141122 is bent relative to the first bending section 141121 and extends in the first direction, that is, it extends away from the first conductor 14111, extending the overall length of the first elastic arm 14112 along the first direction, so as to ensure that the first elastic arm 14112 can abut against the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2, and provide a basis for subsequent tilting and bending.
[0084] It should be noted that the descriptions of directions in this application, such as upward, downward, etc., are all illustrative based on the directions in the diagram for the convenience of understanding and description, and do not constitute a limitation to this application. The directions will vary in different application scenarios.
[0085] The first inclined section 141123 is inclined relative to the first straight section 141122, that is, it is inclined upward, so that the first inclined section 141123 and the first straight section 141122 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 14112 and the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 can be ensured.
[0086] The extension direction of the first inclined section 141123 and the extension direction of the first bending section 141121 are in opposite directions, that is, the first bending section 141121 has a downward extension trend, and the first inclined section 141123 has an upward inclination trend, forming a rotation path, which can ensure that the size of the first elastic arm 14112 in the thickness direction is not too large, which is conducive to thinning the overall thickness of the connector 1 and realizing a compact design.
[0087] The second bending section 141124 is bent relative to the first inclined section 141123 and extends in the thickness direction, that is, extends in the vertical direction, which can increase the abutment surface of the second bending section 141124 and improve the stability of the connection. Among them, each turning connection position in the first elastic arm 14112 is chamfered to reduce sharp parts and effectively avoid damage to other parts of the connector 1.
[0088] Exemplarily, the first elastic arm 14112 includes a first turning arc segment 141125 and a second turning arc segment 141126, the first inclined segment 141123 is connected to the first turning arc segment 141125, the first turning arc segment 141125 is configured to be chamfered for the first time, and the first turning arc segment 141125 is used to abut against the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 to form a contact connection. The notch of the first turning arc segment 141125 is located on the side away from the circuit board 2, so that the arc surface of the first turning arc segment 141125 can form an elastic abutment with the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2, thereby avoiding damage to the circuit board 2 and improving the safety of the connection.
[0089] The first turning arc segment 141125 is connected to the second turning arc segment 141126, and the second turning arc segment 141126 is constructed as a second chamfering treatment, and the notch of the first turning arc segment 141125 is arranged in an opposite direction to the notch of the second turning arc segment 141126, that is, the notch of the second turning arc segment 141126 faces one side of the circuit board 2.
[0090] The second turning arc section 141126 is connected to the second bending section 141124, and the second bending section 141124 extends upward, thereby changing the extension path of the first elastic arm 14112. The second bending section 141124 is the free end of the first elastic arm 14112. When the first elastic arm 14112 is squeezed by the circuit board 2, the first turning arc section 141125 is squeezed, so that the first elastic arm 14112 is deformed, and the first turning arc section 141125 drives the first inclined section 141123 and the first turning arc section 141125 to move, thereby changing the angle of the first preset angle and the position of the second bending section 141124. Among them, the second bending section 141124 will eventually abut against other components of the connector 1 to prevent the further movement of the second bending section 141124, thereby ensuring that the second turning arc section 141126 and the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 are always in contact, thereby enhancing the dynamic stability and adaptability of the connection.
[0091] It should be noted that the chamfering treatment is not limited to the first inclined section 141123 and the second bent section 141124 in the first elastic arm 14112. Chamfering treatment can also be performed between the first bent section 141121 and the first straight section 141122 and between the first straight section 141122 and the first inclined section 141123, 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.
[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, each second conductive part 142 includes a plurality of second conductive terminals 1421, and the plurality of second conductive terminals 1421 are sequentially arranged in intervals in the second direction. For example, six second conductive terminals 1421 are arranged in each group of second conductive parts 142, and the shapes of the six second conductive terminals 1421 can be the same or different, and the shape can refer to the width, length, and extension path of the second conductive terminal 1421. And the signal function of each second conductive terminal 1421 can be the same or different, depending on actual needs.
[0093] The second conductive terminal 1421 includes a second conductive body 14211 and a second elastic arm 14212 . The second conductive body 14211 is buried in the insulating structure 13 and arranged opposite to the first conductive body 14111 along the thickness direction to optimize the spatial layout and reduce mutual interference between signals.
[0094] The second conductor 14211 is connected to the second elastic arm 14212 . The second elastic arm 14212 can pass through the insulating structure 13 and abut against the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 , so as to achieve contact connection with the circuit board 2 and meet signal transmission requirements.
[0095] Among them, the second conductor 14211 can be bent and extended along the thickness direction or the first direction to change the extension path of the second conductor 14211. Exemplarily, the second conductor 14211 includes a first section 142111 and a second section 142112, the first section 142111 extends along the first direction, the first section 142111 is connected to the second section 142112, the second section 142112 extends along the second direction, and the second section 142112 is connected to the second elastic arm 14212, which effectively changes the extension path of the second conductor 14211, thereby changing the direction in which the second elastic arm 14212 passes through the insulating structure 13, and staggering the first elastic arm 14112. The first elastic arm 14112 and the second elastic arm 14212 are arranged by using the side walls of the connector 1 in different directions to avoid the problem of being located on the same side and having a larger size.
[0096] It should be noted that the width between two adjacent second conductors 14211 can be designed based on the signal transmission situation, and different positions of a single second conductor 14211 can have different or the same width, which is subject to actual needs. The angle between the first section 142111 and the second section 142112 can be, for example, 90° to ensure that the second elastic arm 14212 vertically passes through the insulating structure 13.
[0097] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, the second elastic arm 14212 includes a third bending section 142121, a second straight section 142122, a second inclined section 142123 and a fourth bending section 142124 connected in sequence. The third bending section 142121 is bent relative to the second conductor 14211 and extends along the thickness direction, that is, it serves as the starting part of the second elastic arm 14212 and extends downward.
[0098] The second straight section 142122 is bent relative to the third bent section 142121 and extends in the second direction, that is, extends away from the second conductor 14211, extending the overall length of the second elastic arm 14212 along the first direction to ensure that the second elastic arm 14212 can abut against the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 and provide a basis for subsequent tilting and bending.
[0099] The second inclined section 142123 is inclined relative to the second straight section 142122, that is, it is inclined upward, so that the second inclined section 142123 and the second straight section 142122 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 14212 and the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2.
[0100] The extension direction of the second inclined section 142123 and the extension direction of the third bending section 142121 are in opposite directions, that is, the third bending section 142121 has a downward extension trend, and the second inclined section 142123 has an upward inclination trend, forming a rotation path, which can ensure that the size of the second elastic arm 14212 in the thickness direction is not too large, which is conducive to thinning the overall thickness of the connector 1 and realizing a compact design.
[0101] The fourth bending section 142124 is bent relative to the second inclined section 142123 and extends in the thickness direction, that is, extends in the vertical direction, which can increase the abutment surface of the fourth bending section 142124 and improve the stability of the connection. Among them, each turning connection position in the second elastic arm 14212 is chamfered to reduce sharp parts and effectively avoid damage to other parts of the connector 1.
[0102] Exemplarily, the second elastic arm 14212 includes a third turning arc segment 142125 and a fourth turning arc segment 142126, the second inclined segment 142123 is connected to the third turning arc segment 142125, the third turning arc segment 142125 is configured to be chamfered for the third time, and the third turning arc segment 142125 abuts against the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 to form a contact connection therewith. The notch of the third turning arc segment 142125 is located on the side away from the circuit board 2, so that the arc surface of the third turning arc segment 142125 can form an elastic abutment with the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2, thereby avoiding damage to the circuit board 2 and improving the safety of the connection.
[0103] The third turning arc segment 142125 is connected to the fourth turning arc segment 142126, and the fourth turning arc segment 142126 is constructed as a fourth chamfering treatment, and the notch of the third turning arc segment 142125 is arranged in an opposite direction to the notch of the fourth turning arc segment 142126, that is, the notch of the fourth turning arc segment 142126 faces one side of the circuit board 2.
[0104] The fourth turning arc section 142126 is connected to the fourth bending section 142124, and the fourth bending section 142124 extends upward, thereby changing the extension path of the second elastic arm 14212. The fourth bending section 142124 is the free end of the second elastic arm 14212. When the second elastic arm 14212 is squeezed by the circuit board 2, the third turning arc section 142125 is squeezed, so that the second elastic arm 14212 is deformed, and the third turning arc section 142125 drives the second inclined section 142123 and the third turning arc section 142125 to move, thereby changing the angle of the second preset angle and the position of the fourth bending section 142124. Among them, the fourth bending section 142124 will eventually abut against other components of the connector 1 to prevent the fourth bending section 142124 from further moving, thereby ensuring that the fourth turning arc section 142126 and the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2 are always in contact, thereby enhancing the dynamic stability and adaptability of the connection.
[0105] It should be noted that the chamfering treatment is not limited to the portion between the second inclined section 142123 and the fourth bent section 142124 in the second elastic arm 14212. Chamfering treatment can also be performed between the third bent section 142121 and the second straight section 142122, and between the second straight section 142122 and the second inclined section 142123. 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.
[0106] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the first elastic arm 14112 can be a barbed hook structure to achieve elastic contact with the conductive sheet 22 of 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 14112 in the first direction can fall inside the boundary of the insulating structure 13, 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 portion 141 is in contact connection with the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2, the first elastic arm 14112 will be deformed and the opening of the hook mouth will become smaller.
[0107] It should be noted that the second elastic arm 14212 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 14112 mentioned above. When the second conductive part 142 is in contact with the conductive sheet 22 of the circuit board 2, the second elastic arm 14212 will also be deformed, which will not be repeated here.
[0108] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 6 , Figure 14-16 As shown, the connector 1 includes an isolation seat 15, which is arranged on the first side 12. The isolation seat 15 is arranged along the periphery of the insulating structure 13 so as to be matched with the first elastic arm 14112 and the second elastic arm 14212. The isolation seat 15 can separate the two adjacent first elastic arms 14112 and the two adjacent second elastic arms 14212 to avoid the risk of electrical short circuit between the first elastic arms 14112 or between the second elastic arms 14212 due to direct contact. Among them, the isolation seat 15 is, for example, a U-shaped structure so as to surround the first side 12 of the insulating structure 13 to ensure that the first elastic arm 14112 and the second elastic arm 14212 can both cooperate with the isolation seat 15.
[0109] The isolation seat 15, for example, includes an isolation support body 151 and a plurality of partitions 152. The isolation support body 151 is a U-shaped structure, half-surrounding the insulation structure 13, to correspond to the first elastic arm 14112 and the second elastic arm 14212. One end of the partition 152 is fixedly connected to the isolation support body 151, and the other end of the partition 152 is a suspended end. An opening is formed between two adjacent partitions 152, and each first elastic arm 14112 enters between the corresponding partitions 152 through the opening to achieve separation.
[0110] First example
[0111] The partition 152 is, for example, a plate-like structure, which is easy to shape and can effectively separate the first elastic arm 14112 at a relatively low cost. The space between two adjacent partitions 152 is used to accommodate the first elastic arm 14112 .
[0112] Second example
[0113] The longitudinal cross-section of the partition 152 is, for example, a trapezoidal shape, so that the spacing dimensions between the partitions 152 in the open position are larger, that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the partition 152 close to the isolation support body 151 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension on the side away from the isolation support body 151, ensuring that when the first elastic arm 14112 is installed, it can smoothly enter between the partitions 152, and the spacing dimensions between the partitions 152 on the side of the isolation support body 151 are smaller, which can properly limit the first elastic arm 14112, ensuring that the first elastic arm 14112 can remain stable after insertion and is not easy to shake or fall off.
[0114] It is understandable that, in order to achieve the same isolation effect, a partition 152 may be provided between each two adjacent second elastic arms 14212 to achieve isolation. The arrangement between the second elastic arms 14212 and the partition 152 is the same or similar to the arrangement between the first elastic arms 14112 and the partition 152, and will not be repeated here.
[0115] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 6 , Figure 14-16 As shown, the isolation seat 15 includes a plurality of shielding walls 153, which are respectively arranged between two adjacent partitions 152, and the shielding walls 153 are located on a side close to the isolation support body 151 and away from the insulation structure 13, and the shielding walls 153 are respectively fixedly connected to the partitions 152 and the isolation support body 151. The following takes the first elastic arm 14112 as an example to further explain the connection between the first elastic arm 14112 and the shielding wall 153, so as to avoid unnecessary contact with the adjacent first elastic arm 14112 and ensure the stability and safety of the connector 1.
[0116] When the first elastic arm 14112 is not squeezed by the circuit board 2, the first elastic arm 14112 is reset, and the first turning arc section 141125 drives the first inclined section 141123 and the second turning arc section 141126 to move toward one side of the first side 12 to restore to the original position. The second bending section 141124 can abut against the shielding wall 153 to prevent the second bending section 141124 from further moving along the first direction, effectively preventing the second bending section 141124 from accidentally escaping from the spacing space between the partitions 152, and avoiding the second bending section 141124 from moving outside the partition 152 and contacting the adjacent first elastic arm 14112, resulting in electrical connection problems.
[0117] It should be noted that the above-mentioned isolation support body 151 is not limited to setting a shielding wall 153 on the side away from the insulation structure 13. A shielding wall (not shown in the figure) can also be set on the side close to the insulation structure 13. The double-sided shielding further limits the movable distance of the second bending section 141124 to prevent the second bending section 141124 from detaching from the isolation seat 15.
[0118] It is understandable that the implementation method of the second elastic arm 14212 and the shielding wall 153 is the same or similar to the implementation method of the first elastic arm 14112 and the shielding wall 153. This means that the second elastic arm 14212 will also be restricted by the shielding wall 153 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 14112 and the shielding wall 153, and will not be repeated here.
[0119] The isolation seat 15 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 153 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.
[0120] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 6 , Figure 14-16 As shown, the isolation seat 15 is disposed on the first side 12 and connected to the insulating structure 13 to achieve an assembly connection and improve the stability of the isolation seat 15 during installation.
[0121] The isolation seat 15 further includes a limiting connection portion 154 , which is disposed on a side of the isolation support body 151 close to the insulation structure 13 . The limiting connection portion 154 can be embedded in the insulation structure 13 along the thickness direction to achieve alignment connection.
[0122] The limiting connection part 154 can be one or more, and can be flexibly designed according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the isolation support body 151 includes three branches connected in sequence, and the angle between two adjacent branches is 90 degrees, so that each branch corresponds to a side of the insulating structure 13, wherein each branch is provided with a limiting connection part 154, which can not only meet the limiting effect, but also realize the foolproof design, effectively improving the assembly efficiency.
[0123] It should be noted that the limiting connection portion 154 can be flat, columnar, or irregularly shaped, etc., depending on the actual situation, as long as the isolation seat 15 is prevented from shaking or misalignment during use and the alignment and installation accuracy of the first elastic arm 14112 or the second elastic arm 14212 is guaranteed.
[0124] Among them, in order to cooperate with the limiting connection part 154, the insulating structure 13 is provided with an embedding groove 1331, and the number of the embedding grooves 1331 corresponds to the number of the limiting connection parts 154, so that the limiting connection parts 154 can be embedded in the corresponding embedding grooves 1331, which can not only realize the positioning connection, but also ensure the flatness during the connection, avoiding increasing the thickness of the connector 1.
[0125] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 6 , Figure 14-16 As shown, the isolation seat 15 is also provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 155, which are block-shaped structures, and are provided at the corners of two adjacent branches of the isolation support body 151, or at the ends of the branches, so as to improve the structural strength or mechanical strength of the isolation support body 151, and effectively extend the service life of the isolation support body 151. The height of the reinforcing ribs 155 can be the same as the height of the partition 152, so as to ensure the uniformity of their appearance.
[0126] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, the insulating structure 13 is made of a material with high insulation performance, and its main function is to isolate and fix different signal terminals in the terminal assembly 14 to prevent signal interference and ensure pure signal transmission.
[0127] The insulating structure 13, for example, includes a first insulating member 131, a second insulating member 132 and a third insulating member 133, which work together to construct an insulating barrier of the connector 1. The first insulating member 131 and the second insulating member 132 are spaced apart in the thickness direction.
[0128] The first insulating member 131 is used to support and fix the first conductor 14111 of the first conductive part 141 . The first insulating member 131 can cover a portion of the structure of the first conductor 14111 to facilitate fixing of the first conductor 14111 and improve the stability of the first conductive part 141 .
[0129] It can be understood that the function and role of the second insulating member 132 are the same as or similar to those of the above-mentioned first insulating member 131. The second insulating member 132 is used to support and fix the second conductor 14211 of the second conductive part 142. The second insulating member 132 can cover part of the structure of the second conductor 14211 to facilitate the fixation of the second conductor 14211 and improve the stability of the second conductive part 142.
[0130] Exemplarily, a plurality of first positioning posts 1311 are provided on the first insulating member 131, and corresponding first plug holes 1321 are provided on the second insulating member 132. The first positioning posts 1311 are inserted into the corresponding first plug holes 1321 to further achieve interlocking. The first positioning posts 1311 can be provided in two numbers, and they are provided along the thickness direction and the diagonal line of the first direction, so as to achieve a foolproof design.
[0131] It is understandable that the positioning interlocking is not limited to the above-mentioned method. For example, the second insulating member 132 is further provided with a plurality of second positioning posts 1322, and the first insulating member 131 can also be provided with corresponding second plug holes 1312, and the second positioning posts 1322 are inserted into the corresponding second plug holes 1312 to further achieve interlocking. Among them, the second positioning posts 1322 can be provided with two, and they are arranged along the thickness direction and the diagonal line of the first direction, and a foolproof design can also be achieved.
[0132] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, the third insulating member 133 can be coated with the terminal assembly 14 and the first insulating member 131 and the second insulating member 132 by injection molding, which not only realizes the integration of the connector 1, but also enhances the insulation effect by tightly wrapping, and plays a supporting and fixing role. Part of the terminal assembly 14 is exposed to facilitate contact connection with the male connector.
[0133] It should be noted that the embedding grooves 1331 are provided on the third insulating member 133 so as to be respectively connected to the corresponding limiting connection portions 154 in a limiting manner.
[0134] In order to achieve reliable connection between the third insulating member 133 and the first insulating member 131, the first insulating member 131 is also provided with a plurality of first protrusions 1313. The first protrusions 1313 can be buried in the third insulating member 133. The first protrusions 1313 play a role of support and mutual restraint with the third insulating member 133, thereby improving the bite and stability when the first insulating member 131 and the third insulating member 133 are connected.
[0135] It is understandable that a plurality of second protrusions 1323 may also be provided on the second insulating member 132. The second protrusions 1323 may be buried in the third insulating member 133. The second protrusions 1323 play a role of supporting and constraining the third insulating member 133, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the second insulating member 132 and the third insulating member 133.
[0136] The connector 1 in this embodiment has high performance and high stability through sophisticated insulation layout, interlocking mechanism design and optimized design details. The connector 1 can not only effectively isolate different signal terminals to prevent signal interference, but also ensure the pure transmission of signals and the structural stability of the connector, thus providing a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of modern electronic equipment.
[0137] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 11 As shown, the connector 1 includes a shielding structure 16, which shields and isolates the outside to avoid electromagnetic interference and ensure the stability and quality of signal transmission. The shielding structure 16 includes, for example, an outer shielding member 161 and an intermediate shielding member 162, wherein the intermediate shielding member 162 is buried inside the insulating structure 13, and the outer shielding member 161 is sleeved outside the insulating structure 13.
[0138] The intermediate shielding member 162 is disposed between the first conductor 14111 of the first conductive part 141 and the second conductor 14211 of the second conductive part 142, forming a physical barrier, effectively blocking the electromagnetic interference between the first conductive part 141 and the second conductive part 142, and ensuring the purity and stability of signal transmission. The intermediate shielding member 162 is sandwiched between the first insulating member 131 and the second insulating member 132 to fix the intermediate shielding member 162. A plurality of positioning holes 1621 are disposed on the intermediate shielding member 162, and the number of the positioning holes 1621 can be consistent with the number of the first positioning columns 1311 and the second positioning columns 1322, so that the first positioning column 1311 passes through the positioning hole 1621 and is positioned and plugged with the corresponding first plug hole 1321, and the second positioning column 1322 passes through the positioning hole 1621 and is positioned and plugged with the corresponding second plug hole 1312, and the positioning hole 1621 cooperates with the first positioning column 1311 and the second positioning column 1322 to achieve positioning connection.
[0139] The intermediate shield 162 is embedded in the insulating structure 13, which not only enhances the stability of the intermediate shield 162, but also avoids looseness or displacement problems that may occur under vibration or impact conditions through the fixing effect of the insulating structure 13. Part of the structure of the intermediate shield 162 can pass through the insulating structure 13 to facilitate connection with the corresponding part.
[0140] For example, the intermediate shielding member 162 is provided with two first protrusions 1622, which are symmetrically arranged in the first direction, and the first protrusions 1622 can pass through the insulating structure 13 and abut against the outer shielding member 161, thereby achieving a reliable ground 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.
[0141] For example, two second protrusions 1623 are provided on the intermediate shield 162, and the two second protrusions 1623 are symmetrically arranged in the first direction. The second protrusions 1623 can pass through the insulating structure 13, and the second protrusions 1623 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 162.
[0142] In this embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 11 As shown, the outer shielding member 161 is a cylindrical structure, so that the outer shielding member 161 can be sleeved on the insulating structure 13 to shield and isolate the outside, avoid electromagnetic interference, and ensure the stability and quality of signal transmission.
[0143] The outer shielding member 161 includes a first part 1611 and two second parts 1612. The first part 1611 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 1611 is arranged close to the second side 11, and the first part 1611 can be connected with the insulating structure 13 in a limiting manner to realize the positioning and installation of the outer shielding member 161. Exemplarily, a limiting spring piece 16112 is arranged on the first part 1611, and the first part 1611 can be detachably limited and installed with the insulating structure 13 through the limiting spring piece 16112, which effectively improves the installation efficiency. Among them, the limiting spring piece 16112 can be one or more, and when there are multiple limiting spring pieces 16112, they are symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction of the connector 1 and / or symmetrically arranged along the first direction to ensure the balance and stability of the installation. And a limiting groove 1332 matching the limiting spring piece 16112 is arranged on the third insulating member 133 of the insulating structure 13, the fixed end of the limiting spring piece 16112 is connected to the first part 1611, and the free end of the limiting spring piece 16112 can extend into the limiting groove 1332 to realize the snap connection, so as to realize the snap connection. When disassembly is required, the limiting spring piece 16112 can be deformed under the action of external force, so as to easily disengage from the limiting groove 1332, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly.
[0145] In addition, the first part 1611 is spaced apart from the terminal assembly 14 of the connector 1 to ensure that the male connector is not obstructed when inserted. The first part 1611 is provided with a plurality of contact spring arms 16111, and when plugged with the male connector, the plurality of contact spring arms 16111 can abut against the male connector, so that it is in close contact with the outer shielding member 161 or the terminal assembly 14, ensuring that the signal can be transmitted normally.
[0146] For example, refer to Fig.11 As shown, the shapes of the multiple contact spring arms 16111 can be the same or different. For example, the contact spring arm 16111 can be in the shape of a hemispherical convex hull, and its smooth surface can protect the male connector; or, the contact spring arm 16111 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 16111 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.
[0147] The second part 1612 is arranged close to the first side 12, and the two second parts 1612 are symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction and are respectively connected to the insulating structure 13. The second part 1612 can be attached to the insulating structure 13 to achieve a stable connection. Among them, the third insulating member 133 of the insulating structure 13 can also be correspondingly provided with an avoidance groove 1333, and the second part 1612 is embedded in the avoidance groove 1333, which not only satisfies the limit connection, but also achieves the flatness of the appearance, avoiding increasing the overall thickness of the connector 1. The second part 1612 can also be provided with a plurality of first welding points 16121, and the second part 1612 is welded to the third insulating member 133 through the plurality of first welding points 16121, so as to further improve the reliability of the connection between the outer shielding member 161 and the insulating structure 13.
[0148] The shielding structure 16 in this embodiment realizes a high-performance and high-stability connector 1 through the detachable assembly structure of the outer shielding part 161, the electromagnetic shielding and signal transmission functions of the middle shielding part 162, and the dual design of grounding and signal transmission. The connector 1 can not only effectively improve the electromagnetic compatibility, but also ensure the purity and stability of signal transmission, providing a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of modern electronic equipment.
[0149] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 12 As shown, the connector further includes a shell structure 17 which is sleeved on the outer shielding member 161 . The shell structure 17 can be detachably connected to the circuit board 2 , so as to facilitate disassembly, maintenance or replacement.
[0150] Among them, the shell structure 17, for example, includes a shell 171 and at least one shell support 172. The shell 171 is annular and is mounted on the outer shielding component 161 in the shielding structure 16. A plurality of second welding points 1711 are provided on the shell 171. The shell 171 is welded to the outer shielding component 161 through the second welding points 1711.
[0151] It is understandable that the shell structure 17 is not limited to being provided with the above-mentioned second welding point 1711. In order to further improve the stability, welding points can be added at different positions, and the specific setting can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs.
[0152] The shell support body 172 is plate-shaped and covers the first part 1611 of the shielding structure 16. The shell support body 172 has two connecting ears 1721 symmetrically arranged in the first direction, and the two connecting ears 1721 can overlap the circuit board 2. The connecting ears 1721 are provided with connecting holes 1722, and the fasteners 3 can pass through the connecting holes 1722 to connect with the circuit board 2 to achieve the fixation of the connector 1. 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.
[0153] It should be noted that the shell support body 172 may be one or two. The two shell support bodies 172 may be arranged along the second direction. Each shell support body 172 is integrally formed with the shell body 171 to enhance the overall strength of the shell structure 17 .
[0154] like Figure 1-Figure 16 As shown, the present application also provides an accessory for an electronic device, including a fastener 3, a circuit board 2, and a connector 1 as in any of the above embodiments, wherein the circuit board 2 is contact-connected with the connector 1, and the connection method in the above embodiments is utilized to achieve a stable connection between the circuit board 2 and the connector 1, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the electronic device.
[0155] Exemplarily, a accommodating space 21 is provided on the side 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 from the side, and both side surfaces of the circuit board 2 along the thickness direction can be lower than the surface of the connector 1, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device accessories and facilitating the realization of a thin design of the electronic device.
[0156] In this embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 16 As shown, the circuit board 2 is, for example, in a U shape, that is, the accommodating space 21 has a first side wall 211 and two second side walls 212, the first side wall 211 is arranged opposite to the side of the circuit board 2, and the two second side walls 212 are arranged on both sides of the first side wall 211. The accommodating space 21 half surrounds the connector 1, and can play a role in limiting the connector 1, such as movement in the first direction and the second direction.
[0157] Conductive sheets 22 are provided on the first side wall 211 and the two second side walls 212. The accommodating space 21 is used to accommodate the connector 1, so that the terminal assembly 14 of the connector 1 abuts against the corresponding conductive sheet 22. The conductive sheet 22 includes, for example, a plurality of electrical connectors 221, which are sequentially arranged at intervals along the corresponding side walls, so that the electrical connectors 221 can correspond to and abut against the first conductive portion 141 and the second conductive portion 142 of the connector 1 one by one, thereby achieving contact connection.
[0158] The connecting ear 1721 of the shell structure 17 is attached to the circuit board 2, and a screw hole 23 is provided on the circuit board 2. One end of the fastener 3 passes through the connecting ear 1721 and is threadedly connected to the screw hole 23 to improve the stability when the circuit board 2 is connected to the connector 1. 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 1721 to achieve balance.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] The connector provided by the present application adopts a structure in which the elastic 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, and no longer needs to use solder paste and a high-temperature furnace for welding. At the same time, the connector sets the first conductive part and the second conductive part in different positions, effectively reducing the size of the connector, and uses fasteners to fix the connector on the circuit board, further enhancing the firmness and stability of the connection.
[0164] The connector in this application can not only reduce the size, but also has many advantages due to its solder-free method. For example, it effectively reduces the SMT process and labor costs, making the operation smoother and improving 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 both convenient and quick.
