[0002] With the further integration of circuit boards and circuit devices, not only signal terminals for transmitting signals need to be configured, but also current terminals for power supply need to be integrated to facilitate the integrated layout of electrical connections. In order to improve the conductivity of the current terminals, it is necessary to relatively increase the conductive area of the conductive sheet. Therefore, a structure that is convenient for assembly and has a firm connection needs to be designed for the current terminals. However, the surface mount connectors in the prior art have the following defects:

[0003] In the prior art, the current terminals and the insulating housing are usually fixedly connected by welding. However, when welding between the current terminals and the insulating housing, due to the lack of a structure for limiting and fixing the current terminals, workers need to hold and fix them, which affects the stability and efficiency of the welding and fixing between the current terminals and the insulating housing.

[0004] In the prior art, after the surface mount connector assembly is used for a period of time, one or more of the conductive terminals are likely to become detached from the insulating housing, affecting the electrical performance of the surface mount connector assembly.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] A surface mount connector assembly based on an improved pin structure according to the present invention. Through the settings of the first elastic block, the second elastic block, the fourth elastic block, and the fifth elastic block, the current terminal moves upward from the lower side of the card slot into the insulating housing, and the first limiting portion moves upward to drive the slider to move upward in the chute. The upper side of the first elastic block is in sliding contact with the lower side inclined surfaces of the fifth elastic block and the fourth elastic block respectively, and the upper side of the second elastic block is in sliding contact with the lower side inclined surfaces of the fifth elastic block and the fourth elastic block respectively, so that the slider moves smoothly upward in the chute. Then, the inclined lower ends of the first elastic block are in plane contact with the inclined upper ends of the fifth elastic block and the fourth elastic block respectively, and the inclined lower ends of the second elastic block are in plane contact with the inclined upper ends of the fifth elastic block and the fourth elastic block respectively, so as to limit the downward movement of the slider, so as to facilitate the smooth upward movement and limit the fixation of the current terminal in the card slot. Through the settings of the first spring, the fixed block, the third elastic member, the third elastic block, and the second elastic member, when the slider moves downward in the chute and the inclined lower end of the first elastic block contacts the inclined upper end of the fourth elastic block, the first elastic member and the fixed block support the first elastic block, cooperate with the third elastic member and the fifth elastic block to support the fourth elastic block, and the third elastic block and the second elastic member support the fourth elastic block and the fifth elastic block, so as to facilitate the use of the first limiting component and the second limiting component to limit and fix the downward movement of the slider, and avoid the arbitrary movement of the current terminal in the card slot. Finally, through the settings of the second hollow elastic member and the sliding rod, when the slider moves upward to drive the first limiting component to move upward, the upward movement of the fixed block makes the upper side of the second hollow elastic member contact the upper side of the chute, so as to squeeze and deform the second hollow elastic member to squeeze the solution in the second hollow elastic member into the fixed block. The solution in the fixed block pushes the sliding rod and the movable block to move obliquely upward, and the oblique upward movement of the movable block drives the second elastic block to move upward, so that the contact area between the inclined lower end of the second elastic block and the inclined upper end of the fourth elastic block or the inclined upper end plane of the fifth elastic block increases, which is beneficial to improving the limiting and fixing effect between the first limiting component and the second limiting component, and thus can quickly and smoothly weld and fix the current terminal in the card slot.

[0020] An SMT connector assembly based on an improved pin structure of the present invention. Through the setting of the first slide plate, when the slider moves upward, it drives the first limiting component to move upward. A number of second limiting components are distributed at intervals along the inclined surface on one side of the first slide plate, and the distance between one side of the first slide plate and the slider gradually narrows from bottom to top. Thus, the contact area between the first limiting component moving upward and the number of second limiting components continuously increases, which is beneficial to promoting the smooth upward movement of the current terminal in the card slot and improving the limiting and fixing effect of the number of second limiting components on the first limiting component, and is beneficial to limiting and fixing the current terminal in the card slot. Further, through the setting of the first hollow elastic member, when the slider moves upward and contacts the lower end of the first push rod, the slider moving upward pushes the first push rod and the piston plate to move upward. The piston plate moving upward sends a part of the solution in the hydraulic chamber into the first hollow elastic member through the first connection channel, causing the first hollow elastic member to expand and push the first slide plate to move. The movement of the first slide plate drives a number of second limiting components to approach the first limiting component, thereby further increasing the contact area between the first limiting component and the second limiting components, so as to facilitate limiting and fixing the current terminal in the card slot and improving the efficiency of welding and fixing the current terminal in the card slot.

[0021] An SMT connector assembly based on an improved pin structure of the present invention. Through the setting of the movable frame, the clamping plate, and the first rubber plate, when the piston plate moves upward, another part of the solution in the hydraulic chamber enters the middle of the interior of the frame body through the second connection channel. The solution pushes the two movable frames to move away from each other up and down. One end of the clamping plate is rotatably connected to one side of the second slide plate, and in cooperation with the middle of the clamping plate being rotatably connected to the opening, the two movable frames moving away from each other up and down drive the two second slide plates to move away from each other up and down. Thus, the two clamping plates rotate around the two rotating shafts relative to each other, and the rotation of the two clamping plates drives the two first rubber plates to approach each other to clamp and fix the upper and lower sides of the second limiting part. Further, through the setting of the fixed seat, the second push rod, the second rubber plate, and the second limiting block, the two clamping plates rotate around the two rotating shafts relative to each other. Thus, the two second slide plates slide horizontally in the two movable frames respectively. The movement of the second slide plate sends the solution in the movable frame into the fixed seat through the telescopic connecting pipe. The solution in the fixed seat pushes the second push rod and the second rubber plate to move. The movement of the second rubber plate contacts one side of the second limiting part and cooperates with the other side of the second limiting part to contact the second limiting block, thereby clamping and fixing the two sides of the second limiting part, so as to facilitate clamping and fixing the second limiting part in multiple directions, which is beneficial to clamping and fixing the current terminal in the card slot and is beneficial to improving the quality of welding and fixing the current terminal in the card slot.

[0049] Preferably, referring to the appended Figure 1 to the appended Figure 2 , appended Figure 9 , two positioning keys 14 are fixedly provided on the lower sides of both ends of the insulating housing 10. A long strip-shaped groove 12 is provided in the middle of the convex portion 11, and a shielding sheet 13 is provided in the interior of the long strip-shaped groove 12.

[0050] Specific usage method of the present invention:

[0051] Usage method: During the process of welding a product, after the solder paste melts, it needs to flow uniformly along the outer shape of the pins. Therefore, the uniformity of the solder during the flowing process is relatively important, but it is inevitable that too much solder paste will be added. However, there is a chamfer 17 on the upper side of one end of the pin portion 57. The chamfer 17 is used to drain the solder paste, thereby reducing the solder remaining on the upper side of the pin portion 57 and avoiding the situation that adjacent two pin portions 57 are welded together, reducing the probability of bridging. Analyzing from the aspect of maintainability, when there are quality problems with the solder joints of the product completed by reflow soldering, either too much solder or too little solder, from the perspective of cost, it is necessary to manually repair the solder joints of the connector. When manually using a soldering iron to add or remove solder, adding or removing solder from the chamfered pins melts the tin faster than the right-angled pins, is more convenient to process, and is smoother when pulling the soldering iron. The right-angled pins will generate greater resistance. Therefore, chamfered pins are more convenient for the operator to repair.

[0052] Assembly method. First, the staff installs and fixes the shielding piece 13 in the long strip-shaped groove 12, and moves the current terminal 16 upward from the lower side of the card slot 15 into the insulating housing 10. The first limiting part 56 moves upward to drive the slider 19 to move upward in the sliding groove 59. The upper side of the first elastic block 29 is in sliding contact with the lower side inclined surfaces of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, and the upper side of the second elastic block 30 is in sliding contact with the lower side inclined surfaces of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, so that the slider 19 moves smoothly upward in the sliding groove 59. Then, the inclined lower ends of the first elastic block 29 are in plane contact with the inclined upper ends of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, and the inclined lower ends of the second elastic block 30 are in plane contact with the inclined upper ends of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, so as to limit the downward movement of the slider 19, so as to facilitate the smooth upward movement and limit the fixation of the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15. Among them, when the slider 19 moves downward in the sliding groove 59 and the inclined lower end of the first elastic block 29 contacts the inclined upper end of the fourth elastic block 34, the first elastic member 31 and the fixed block 24 support the first elastic block 29, and the third elastic member 36 and the fifth elastic block 35 support the fourth elastic block 34. Then, the third elastic block 32 and the second elastic member 33 support the fourth elastic block 34 and the fifth elastic block 35, so as to use the first limiting component 22 and the second limiting component 23 to limit and fix the downward movement of the slider 19, and prevent the current terminal 16 from moving arbitrarily in the card slot 15. One side of the first limiting part 56 uses the first limiting component 22 to contact the second limiting component 23 for limiting, and the other side of the first limiting part 56 uses the first limiting block 18 for limiting, so as to make the first limiting part 56 centered and limited in the card slot 15.

[0053] Secondly, the upward movement of the slider 19 drives the upward movement of the first limiting component 22. The upward movement of the fixed block 24 makes the upper side of the second hollow elastic member 27 contact the upper side of the sliding groove 59, so as to squeeze the second hollow elastic member 27. The second hollow elastic member 27 is squeezed and deformed, and the solution in the second hollow elastic member 27 is squeezed into the fixed block 24. The solution in the fixed block 24 pushes the sliding rod 25 and the movable block 26 to move obliquely upward. The oblique upward movement of the movable block 26 drives the upward movement of the second elastic block 30, so that the contact area between the inclined lower end of the second elastic block 30 and the inclined upper end of the fourth elastic block 34 or the fifth elastic block 35 increases, which is beneficial to improving the limiting and fixing effect between the first limiting component 22 and the second limiting component 23, so as to quickly and smoothly weld and fix the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15. Among them, the oblique upward movement of the sliding rod 25 stretches the first spring 28 to generate elastic force, so that under the elastic force of the first spring 28, the sliding rod 25 can move obliquely downward to reset.

[0054] Next, the upward movement of the slider 19 drives the upward movement of the first limiting component 22. A number of second limiting components 23 are distributed at intervals along the inclined surface on one side of the first slide plate 21, and the distance between one side of the first slide plate 21 and the slider 19 gradually narrows from bottom to top. Thus, the contact area between the upwardly moving first limiting component 22 and the number of second limiting components 23 continuously increases, which is conducive to promoting the smooth upward movement of the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15, and improving the limiting and fixing effect of the number of second limiting components 23 on the first limiting component 22, which is conducive to limiting and fixing the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15.

[0055] Then, the upward movement of the slider 19 contacts the lower end of the first push rod 39. The upward movement of the slider 19 pushes the first push rod 39 and the piston plate 38 upward. The upward movement of the piston plate 38 causes a part of the solution in the hydraulic chamber 37 to enter the first hollow elastic member 20 through the first connection channel 41, causing the first hollow elastic member 20 to expand and push the first slide plate 21 to move. The movement of the first slide plate 21 drives a number of second limiting components 23 to approach the first limiting component 22, thereby further increasing the contact area between the first limiting component 22 and the second limiting components 23, so as to facilitate limiting and fixing the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15 and improving the efficiency of welding and fixing the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15.

[0056] At the same time, the upward movement of the piston plate 38 causes another part of the solution in the hydraulic chamber 37 to enter the middle of the interior of the frame 43 through the second connection channel 42. The solution pushes the two movable frames 44 to move away from each other up and down. One end of the clamping plate 47 is rotatably connected to one side of the second slide plate 45, and in cooperation with the middle of the clamping plate 47 being rotatably connected to the opening 46, the two movable frames 44 moving away from each other up and down drive the two second slide plates 45 to move away from each other up and down. Thus, the two clamping plates 47 rotate around the two rotating shafts 60 respectively. The rotation of the two clamping plates 47 drives the two first rubber plates 48 to approach each other to clamp and fix the upper and lower sides of the second limiting portion 58. Among them, the two movable frames 44 moving away from each other up and down respectively compress the two third springs 49 to generate elastic forces. Thus, under the elastic forces of the two third springs 49, the two movable frames 44 can move closer to each other and reset.

[0057] Meanwhile, the two clamping plates 47 rotate relative to each other around the two rotating shafts 60 respectively, so that the two second sliding plates 45 slide horizontally in the two movable frames 44 respectively. The movement of the second sliding plates 45 causes the solution in the movable frames 44 to enter the fixed seat 51 through the telescopic connecting pipe 54. The solution in the fixed seat 51 pushes the second push rod 52 and the second rubber plate 55 to move. The movement of the second rubber plate 55 contacts one side of the second limiting portion 58, and the other side of the second limiting portion 58 contacts the second limiting block 50, so as to clamp and fix both sides of the second limiting portion 58, which is convenient for clamping and fixing the second limiting portion 58 in multiple directions, conducive to clamping and fixing the current terminal 16 in the clamping groove 15, and conducive to improving the quality of welding and fixing the current terminal 16 in the clamping groove 15.

[0058] Finally, after the current terminal 16 is fully limited and fixed in the clamping groove 15, the staff welds and fixes the current terminal 16 and the convex portion 11.

[0059] An SMT connector assembly based on an improved pin structure according to the present invention. Through the arrangement of the first elastic block 29, the second elastic block 30, the fourth elastic block 34, and the fifth elastic block 35, the current terminal 16 moves upward from the lower side of the card slot 15 into the insulating housing 10, and the first limiting portion 56 moves upward to drive the slider 19 to move upward in the sliding groove 59. The upper side of the first elastic block 29 is in sliding contact with the lower side inclined surfaces of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, and the upper side of the second elastic block 30 is in sliding contact with the lower side inclined surfaces of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, so that the slider 19 moves smoothly upward in the sliding groove 59. Then, the inclined lower ends of the first elastic block 29 are in plane contact with the inclined upper ends of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, and the inclined lower ends of the second elastic block 30 are in plane contact with the inclined upper ends of the fifth elastic block 35 and the fourth elastic block 34 respectively, so as to limit the downward movement of the slider 19, facilitating the smooth upward movement and limiting and fixing of the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15. Through the arrangement of the first spring 28, the fixing block 24, the third elastic member 36, the third elastic block 32, and the second elastic member 33, when the slider 19 moves downward in the sliding groove 59 and the inclined lower end of the first elastic block 29 contacts the inclined upper end of the fourth elastic block 34, the first elastic member 31 and the fixing block 24 support the first elastic block 29, and the third elastic member 36 and the fifth elastic block 35 support the fourth elastic block 34, and the third elastic block 32 and the second elastic member 33 support the fourth elastic block 34 and the fifth elastic block 35, so as to utilize the first limiting component 22 and the second limiting component 23 to limit and fix the downward movement of the slider 19, preventing the current terminal 16 from moving arbitrarily in the card slot 15. Finally, through the arrangement of the second hollow elastic member 27 and the sliding rod 25, when the slider 19 moves upward to drive the first limiting component 22 to move upward, the fixing block 24 moves upward so that the upper side of the second hollow elastic member 27 contacts the upper side of the sliding groove 59, thereby squeezing and deforming the second hollow elastic member 27 to squeeze the solution in the second hollow elastic member 27 into the fixing block 24. The solution in the fixing block 24 pushes the sliding rod 25 and the movable block 26 to move obliquely upward, and the movable block 26 moving obliquely upward drives the second elastic block 30 to move upward, so that the contact area between the inclined lower end of the second elastic block 30 and the inclined upper end of the fourth elastic block 34 or the inclined upper end of the fifth elastic block 35 increases, which is beneficial to improving the limiting and fixing effect between the first limiting component 22 and the second limiting component 23, and thus the current terminal 16 can be quickly and smoothly welded and fixed in the card slot 15.

[0060] A surface mount connector assembly based on an improved pin structure of the present invention. Through the setting of the first slide plate 21, when the slider 19 moves upward, it drives the first limiting component 22 to move upward. A number of second limiting components 23 are distributed at intervals along the inclined surface on one side of the first slide plate 21, and the distance between one side of the first slide plate 21 and the slider 19 gradually becomes narrower from bottom to top. Thus, the contact area between the first limiting component 22 moving upward and the number of second limiting components 23 continuously increases, which is beneficial to promoting the stable upward movement of the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15, and improving the limiting and fixing effect of the number of second limiting components 23 on the first limiting component 22, which is beneficial to limiting and fixing the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15. Further, through the setting of the first hollow elastic member 20, when the slider 19 moves upward and contacts the lower end of the first push rod 39, the slider 19 moving upward pushes the first push rod 39 and the piston plate 38 to move upward. The piston plate 38 moving upward sends a part of the solution in the hydraulic chamber 37 into the first hollow elastic member 20 through the first connection channel 41, causing the first hollow elastic member 20 to expand and push the first slide plate 21 to move. The first slide plate 21 moving drives a number of second limiting components 23 to approach the first limiting component 22, thereby further increasing the contact area between the first limiting component 22 and the second limiting components 23, so as to facilitate limiting and fixing the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15 and improving the efficiency of welding and fixing the current terminal 16 in the card slot 15.

The solution pushes the two movable frames 44 to move away from each other up and down. One end of the clamping plate 47 is rotatably connected to one side of the second sliding plate 45, and in cooperation with the middle part of the clamping plate 47 being rotatably connected to the opening 46, the two movable frames 44 moving away from each other up and down drive the two second sliding plates 45 to move away from each other up and down, so that the two clamping plates 47 rotate around the two rotating shafts 60 respectively. The rotation of the two clamping plates 47 drives the two first rubber plates 48 to move closer to each other to clamp and fix the upper and lower sides of the second limiting part 58. Further, through the settings of the fixed seat 51, the second push rod 52, the second rubber plate 55, and the second limiting block 50, the two clamping plates 47 rotate around the two rotating shafts 60 respectively, so that the two second sliding plates 45 slide horizontally in the two movable frames 44 respectively. The movement of the second sliding plate 45 makes the solution in the movable frame 44 enter the fixed seat 51 through the telescopic connecting pipe 54. The solution in the fixed seat 51 pushes the second push rod 52 and the second rubber plate 55 to move. The movement of the second rubber plate 55 contacts one side of the second limiting part 58, and the other side of the second limiting part 58 contacts the second limiting block 50, so as to clamp and fix the two sides of the second limiting part 58, which is convenient for clamping and fixing the second limiting part 58 in multiple directions, is beneficial to clamping and fixing the current terminal 16 in the clamping groove 15, and is beneficial to improving the quality of welding and fixing the current terminal 16 in the clamping groove 15.
