Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a metal shielding connection terminal structure. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of modern electronic equipment, signal transmission technology has been widely used in various industries, especially in the fields of communications, automotive electronics, industrial automation, etc. In order to meet the growing demand for data transmission, the design of the connector not only needs to ensure the rapid transmission of signals, but also needs to have high reliability and durability. Especially in some high-frequency or high-power electronic devices, the connection terminals play a vital role as transition terminals. These connection terminals are usually used to connect male and female components, or other signal transmission ports, and play the role of signal transition and current connection during the transmission process. With the development of miniaturization and high integration of equipment, the connection terminals need to have efficient and stable signal transmission functions, as well as excellent mechanical strength and long-term durability to cope with increasingly complex working environments and usage conditions.
[0003] In the existing terminal connection technology, the traditional design usually adopts a single metal material or a combined metal structure, which is manufactured by stamping, injection molding and other processes. However, in order to ensure the elastic strength of the connection, this common terminal connection structure often reduces the wall thickness, which will lead to a decrease in mechanical strength and easy deformation, or increases the wall thickness to ensure strength, but the elastic plug-in force is low, affecting the user experience. In particular, the design of the metal hollow groove usually leads to discontinuity of the signal transmission path and forms a metal fault in the terminal, thereby affecting the stability and transmission quality of the signal. It is impossible to provide sufficient mechanical support while ensuring the elastic connection force, resulting in increased assembly difficulty, and there may be delays and discontinuities in signal transmission.
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the connection terminal technology in the prior art to solve the technical problems of the inability to balance terminal performance and strength and low signal quality. Summary of the invention

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and through specific embodiments.
[0050] Embodiment 1:
[0051] Combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a metal shielding connection terminal structure, including an outer housing 100 and an inner terminal 200. The inner terminal 200 is composed of a thin-walled body in a ring shape, and the outer housing 100 is composed of a thick-walled body in a ring shape; the inner terminal 200 has a first plug end 203 and a second plug end 204. The outer housing 100 is sleeved outside the inner terminal 200 to cover the first plug end 203 and expose the second plug end 204. Among them, both the outer housing 100 and the inner terminal 200 are made of metal materials.
[0052] It should be noted that the inner terminal 200 has a first plug end 203 and a second plug end 204. The first plug end 203 is located inside the outer housing 100 and is used to connect to a male head component. The first plug end 203 is an inner hole for plugging and unplugging. Due to the thin-walled body of the inner terminal 200, its inner wall can provide excellent elastic force to ensure the plugging and unplugging force with the male head component; at the same time, the first plug end 203 is covered with the outer housing 100, and the outer housing 100 provides mechanical protection and support to prevent the weak inner terminal 200 from being collided and deformed.
[0053] At the other end, the second plug end 204 is exposed outside the outer housing 100 and is used to connect to a female head component. Similarly, for the exposed end, due to the thin-walled body of the inner terminal 200, it can provide good elastic force, which is convenient for elastic connection with the female head component.
[0054] One end of the outer housing 100 is provided with an inner hook portion 110 that bends inward. A clamping groove 111 is formed between the inner hook portion 110 and the inner wall of the outer housing 100. One end of the inner terminal 200 is clamped in the clamping groove 111; along the plugging direction of the inner terminal 200, the inner hook portion 110 can be limited. Among them, the inner hook portion 110 also has a certain elastic force, and its inner side can tightly hold the inner terminal 200 to prevent the inner terminal 200 from sliding.
[0055] The inner terminal 200 is provided with a first hollow groove 210 for accommodating the elastic protrusion, and the outer shell 100 is provided with a second hollow groove 120 for accommodating the elastic protrusion at a preset position, and the first hollow groove 210 and the second hollow groove 120 are staggered.
[0056] It should be noted that the elastic protrusion at the first hollow groove 210 protrudes inwardly, and is used for elastic connection with the male component, that is, to provide an elastic snap-fitting effect. The elastic protrusion at the second hollow groove 120 protrudes outwardly and inwardly, and is used for elastic connection with the female component or the external electrical connector. This is provided on conventional connecting terminals. The advantage of this solution is that the elastic protrusions on the inner and outer sides are cleverly staggered by separately arranged outer shell 100 and inner terminal 200, which can ensure that there is at least metal material at the position of any elastic protrusion, effectively avoiding signal transmission interruption or detour, reducing signal interruption and signal delay, and improving signal transmission quality.
[0057] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the connecting terminal structure is composed of two layers of terminals, inner and outer, which are convenient for assembly. The inner terminal 200 is a thin-walled body with plug-in ends at both ends, which are respectively used to connect the male and female components. The thin wall can improve the elastic force to facilitate elastic connection with the connector. Then the outer shell 100 is sleeved on its outer side, and the snap-fitting groove 111 formed by the inner hook 110 is realized to form a complete connecting terminal. The outer shell 100 is a thick-walled body that plays a role of mechanical support, and the hollow grooves on the outer shell 100 and the inner terminal 200 are staggered, which makes it possible for no metal fault to appear in any cross section of the connecting terminal, which well ensures the continuity of signal transmission, thereby well solving the problem of poor signal continuity caused by the hollow metal grooves in the traditional connecting terminal, and providing a high-performance and easy-to-assemble connecting terminal.
[0058] In this embodiment, the thin-walled body of the inner terminal 200 includes two oppositely disposed flat plate portions 220, and an arc-shaped curved portion 230 for connecting the two flat plate portions 220. That is, the inner terminal 200 of this solution is elliptical as a whole, but has a flat plate portion 220. This flat plate portion 220 can provide an elastically raised manufacturing position in the manufacturing process, reduce the difficulty of positioning and grooving the curved surface, and facilitate the manufacturing process.
[0059] In this embodiment, it is specifically described that the first plug-in end 203 is provided with an inner spring ring 240, and the inner spring ring 240 includes a small spring 241 located on the arc-shaped curved portion 230, and a large spring 242 located on the flat portion 220; the arc-shaped curved portion 230 is provided with a first through groove 201, and the two ends of the small spring 241 are respectively connected to the side walls of the first through groove 201, and the small spring 241 is gradually protruded inward from its two ends to the middle.
[0060] It should be noted that the first plug-in end 203 connected to the male head component in this solution is composed of a ring of elastic pieces. The purpose of its setting is that by setting two different elastic piece structures on the arc-shaped curved surface part 230 and the flat plate part 220 respectively. Since the arc-shaped curved surface part 230 itself protrudes outward, it inherently has a certain elastic force. At this time, setting the small elastic piece 241 can ensure the provision of sufficient elastic force. However, for the flat plate part 220, since the thin walls on both sides are prone to sink toward the middle during the deformation process of the inner terminal 200, the large elastic piece 242 different from the small elastic piece 241 is set to ensure the balance of the elastic acting force.
[0061] In this embodiment, it is further explained that the flat plate part 220 is provided with a second through groove 202. One end of the large elastic piece 242 is connected to the side wall of the second through groove 202. The large elastic piece 242 includes a first elastic body 2421 and second elastic bodies 2422 respectively located on both sides of the first elastic body 2421. Among them, the first elastic body 2421 is provided with a first convex part 2423 protruding inward, and the second elastic body 2422 is provided with a second convex part 2424 protruding inward. The first convex part 2423 is arranged on the side of the second convex part 2424 away from the second plug-in end 204.
[0062] It should be noted that as mentioned before, the setting method of the large elastic piece 242 is in cooperation with the small elastic piece 241, and its purpose is to ensure the balance of the elastic acting force. Now, the composition structure and principle of the large elastic piece 242 are specifically described. It includes a first elastic body 2421 in the middle and second elastic bodies 2422 respectively located on the left and right sides, consisting of a total of three elastic bodies, and only one end of it is connected to the side wall of the second through groove 202, which is different from the small elastic piece 241 body. This is because during the deformation process of the inner terminal 200, the thin walls on both sides are prone to sink toward the middle. Therefore, in order to ensure that the large elastic piece 242 here has sufficient deformation space and will not damage the internal male head component, a hollow structure is set, and the first elastic body 2421 and the second elastic body 2422 that are more prone to deformation (because only one end is connected) ensure the balance of the elastic acting force in this way.
[0063] Furthermore, the first protrusion 2423 is disposed on the side of the second protrusion 2424 away from the second insertion end 204, such that the first protrusion 2423 is closer to the insertion direction of the male head assembly. Therefore, during the insertion process, the first protrusion 2423 is elastically clamped with the male head assembly first, playing a role of pre-clamping (facilitating the adjustment of the insertion position of the male head during the insertion process); then, as the male head assembly is gradually inserted, the second protrusion 2424 is elastically clamped with the male head assembly. Since there are two second protrusions 2424 arranged on the left and right, they can provide a greater elastic clamping force, thus playing a role of elastic positioning. Through the cooperative action of the first elastic body 2421 and the second elastic body 2422, the insertion process of the male head assembly can be decomposed into two more reasonable processes, improving the smoothness of insertion and reducing the occurrence of jamming.
[0064] In this embodiment, an outer elastic washer 250 is provided at the second insertion end 204. The outer elastic washer 250 includes a plurality of third elastic bodies, and the third elastic bodies are gradually convex outward from both ends to the middle, playing a role of providing elastic support force.
[0065] A crack portion 101 is provided on the arc-shaped curved surface portion 230. The crack portion 101 extends from one end of the outer housing 100 to the other end. Among them, the crack portion 101 is used to provide elastic clamping force.
[0066] It should be noted that the outer housing 100 of this solution also provides an elastic clamping force by providing the crack portion 101, which is convenient for positioning and matching with the inner terminal 200.
[0067] Embodiment 2:
[0068] The present invention also provides a manufacturing process for a metal shielded connection terminal structure for manufacturing the metal shielded connection terminal structure as in Embodiment 1. The manufacturing process includes:
[0069] Step S1, select suitable metal materials. Among them, the inner terminal 200 uses a thin-walled metal material, and the outer housing 100 uses a thick-walled metal material.
[0070] Step S2, use stamping technology to form the thin-walled metal material and the thick-walled metal material into the main structures of the annular inner terminal 200 and the annular outer housing 100 respectively; only the basic annular contour is formed at this stage, without other additional structures.
[0071] Step S3, use laser processing technology to process the preliminarily formed inner terminal 200, and process insertion ends for connecting the male head and the female head assemblies and hollow slots for subsequent elastic connection at both ends thereof. The recommended laser parameters are a power of 100W to 300W, and the cutting speed is controlled between 24m / min.
[0072] Step S4, form an inner hook portion 110 and a clamping groove 111 at a predetermined portion of the outer casing 100 through bending processing; so as to facilitate the locking and assembly of the inner terminal 200 and the outer casing 100, and ensure that the dimensional accuracy of the clamping groove 111 is controlled within ±0.05 mm.
[0073] Step S5, use laser processing technology and bending technology to process elastic protrusions at the hollow groove positions of the inner terminal 200 and the outer casing 100, and stagger the elastic protrusions in space to optimize the signal transmission quality; the laser power is set between 150 W and 250 W, and the cutting speed is 12 m / min.
[0074] Step S6, assemble the processed inner terminal 200 and the outer casing 100 in a predetermined assembly manner, and perform conductivity, compressive resistance and durability tests on the assembled connection terminals, and at the same time perform appearance inspection, cleaning and packaging.
[0075] The beneficial effects of this manufacturing process are as follows: Through precise laser processing, injection molding technology and elastic protrusion design, excellent performance and high reliability of the metal shielding connection terminals are ensured. The separate design of the inner terminal 200 and the outer casing 100 enables the connection terminals to have good elastic connectivity, which can ensure smooth plugging and unplugging operations and provide stable electrical contact. The staggered arrangement of the hollow grooves and the elastic protrusions effectively improves the signal transmission quality and avoids interruption or delay in signal transmission. The whole method not only improves the conductivity, compressive resistance and durability of the product, but also optimizes the production process, reduces material waste and manual errors, improves production efficiency and product quality, and ensures the stability and performance of the metal shielding connection terminals under high load and high-frequency use conditions.
[0076] In this embodiment, specifically, the step S3 specifically includes:
[0077] S31, according to the product design requirements, determine the thickness and physical properties of the inner terminal 200, and at the same time, calibrate the laser processing equipment;
[0078] First, select a suitable thin-walled metal material (such as high-strength copper alloy or aluminum alloy), and according to the product design requirements, determine its thickness and physical properties to ensure that it has good electrical conductivity and elasticity. At the same time, calibrate the laser processing equipment to ensure that the laser power, focal length and cutting speed meet the process requirements. The power of the laser equipment is generally set between 300 W and 500 W, and the focal diameter is usually controlled between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm to ensure the cutting accuracy.
[0079] S32. Place the preliminarily formed inner terminal 200 on the laser cutting platform, and control the laser head to cut along a predetermined path through the numerical control system. According to the design requirements, the laser cutting head performs arc surface finishing on the arc-shaped curved surface portion 230 of the inner terminal 200.
[0080] During the cutting process, the cutting speed of the laser head is controlled between 2 m / min and 4 m / min, and the laser power is adjusted according to the material thickness, usually 350 W. Special attention should be paid to the smoothness of the cutting edge during the cutting process to avoid burrs and ensure that the shape of the inner terminal 200 meets the requirements.
[0081] S33. Use laser technology to punch holes at both ends of the inner terminal 200 to form the first through groove 201 and the insertion hole of the first through groove 201.
[0082] The sizes of these insertion holes are designed according to the matching requirements of the male and female head components, generally between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. The laser punching process requires high-precision control of the laser focal length and cutting speed to ensure that the roundness and perpendicularity of the insertion holes meet the requirements. The laser power in this step is controlled between 100 W and 200 W, and the punching speed is about 1 mm / s to 2 mm / s to avoid material deformation caused by overheating.
[0083] S34. Use laser cutting technology to process two hollow grooves on the inner terminal 200 for accommodating elastic protrusions. The width of the groove opening is between 0.5 mm and 1 mm, and the depth is controlled between 0.3 mm and 0.6 mm. The laser power is set between 250 W and 400 W, and the cutting speed is set at 1.5 m / min to 3 m / min.
[0084] The laser cutting head precisely cuts the hollow grooves along the predetermined path to ensure that the width and depth of the groove opening meet the design standards. Usually, the temperature needs to be strictly controlled during this process to avoid overheating resulting in material charring or deformation.
[0085] S35. After the laser cutting is completed, use laser fine-tuning technology to finely trim the edge of the inner terminal 200 to remove existing micro burrs.
[0086] This process performs micro cutting and cleaning along the cutting edge through a high-precision laser beam to ensure that the surface of the inner terminal 200 is smooth and flawless, meeting the requirements for subsequent assembly. During this process, the laser power is set between 150 W and 250 W, and the adjustment speed is 0.5 m / s to ensure uniform cutting effect.
[0087] In this embodiment, specifically, the step S6 specifically includes:
[0088] S61. Initially dock the processed inner terminal 200 and the outer housing 100 to ensure that the first insertion end 203 of the inner terminal 200 is inserted into the corresponding position of the outer housing 100, and check whether the fit is tight;
[0089] Avoid looseness or mismatch. This step requires the use of high-precision assembly jigs and positioning equipment to ensure the accurate docking of the inner terminal 200 and the outer housing 100 in the axial and radial directions. The jig should have a fine-tuning function to compensate for minor errors in processing.
[0090] S62. After the initial docking of the inner terminal 200 and the outer housing 100, use an alignment tool for fixation to make the snap groove 111 of the outer housing 100 fit tightly with the snap-in part of the inner terminal 200;
[0091] Ensure the stability of the connection. During this process, use a fixture or a spring clamp for mechanical locking to ensure that the two parts can remain fixed during subsequent operations. The snap-in process requires pressure monitoring through automated equipment to ensure that the pressure is uniform and meets the standard requirements.
[0092] S63. Conduct a conductivity test on the assembled connection terminal.
