Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular relates to a socket assembly and an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to satisfy the information transmission function and charging function of the electronic device, a socket structure needs to be provided on the electronic device to realize the above functions by plugging a data line into the socket structure, wherein the socket structure on the electronic device needs to be waterproof.

[0003] In the related art, a sealing ring is usually arranged in the middle section of the socket structure to meet the external sealing requirements of the socket structure, and an insertable sealing plug is installed at the end of the terminal to meet the internal sealing requirements of the terminal installation channel.

[0004] However, the sealing ring and the sealing plug occupy a lot of space in the length of the socket structure, which forces the length of the socket structure to increase, causing the socket structure to encroach on the layout space of other structures in the electronic device, so that the socket structure has technical problems such as excessive length and difficulty in spatial layout. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application aims to provide a socket assembly and an electronic device, which can solve the technical problems in the related art that the socket structure is too long and the spatial layout is difficult.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a socket assembly, which is applied to an electronic device, the electronic device including a frame, and the socket assembly including: a body; a terminal, the terminal is arranged on the body; a sealing component, a part of the sealing component seals the gap between the frame and the body outside the body, and another part of the sealing component seals the gap between the body and the terminal inside the body.

[0007] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising: a frame, the frame comprising a mounting hole; and a socket assembly such as in the first aspect, the socket assembly being disposed in the mounting hole.

[0008] In the present application, a portion of the sealing component is located outside the body to seal the external gap of the socket assembly, and another portion of the sealing component is located inside the body to seal the internal channel of the body.

[0009] The sealing structure in the related art will take up more space in the length direction. However, the present application satisfies the sealing requirements of both the inside and outside of the socket through a single sealing component. Since the sealing component needs to take into account the sealing requirements of both the inside and outside of the body, the sealing component needs to extend in a direction perpendicular to the length of the socket assembly, and specifically can extend to the inside and outside of the body along the thickness direction of the socket assembly or the width direction of the socket assembly. Compared with the sealing solution in the related art, the space occupied by the sealing component in the length direction of the socket assembly is relatively small, thereby reducing the length of the socket assembly and solving the technical problem of excessive length of the socket structure in the related art.

[0010] Furthermore, by shortening the length of the socket assembly, on the one hand, the difficulty of assembling the socket assembly can be reduced, solving the technical problem of the difficulty of spatial layout of the socket structure existing in the related technology; on the other hand, the socket assembly with a smaller length can reserve more space in the electronic device to increase the size of the battery in the electronic device, thereby enhancing the battery life of the electronic device.

[0040] Combine the following Figures 1 to 21 A socket assembly and an electronic device according to embodiments of the present application are described.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a socket assembly 100 is provided, and the socket assembly 100 includes: a body 110; a terminal 130, and the terminal 130 is arranged on the body 110; a sealing component 120, a part of the sealing component 120 seals the gap between the frame 210 and the body 110 outside the body 110, and another part of the sealing component 120 seals the gap between the body 110 and the terminal 130 inside the body 110.

[0042] Figure 2 , dimension Y shows the length of the sealing member 120 in the socket assembly 100 ( Figure 3 The arrow a in the middle shows the size occupied by the surface.

[0043] In this embodiment, a socket assembly 100 is proposed. The socket assembly 100 can be applied to an electronic device 200. The electronic device 200 can transmit information and electrical energy through the socket assembly 100. The electronic device 200 includes a frame 210. The frame 210 is the main frame structure of the electronic device 200. The socket assembly 100 can be installed on the frame 210.

[0044] For example, the socket assembly 100 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket, and the appearance models include: Type-C, Type A USB plug, Type B USB plug, Micro USB plug, and Lightning plug.

[0045] When the form factor is Type-C, the electronic device 200 can be connected to the socket assembly 100 via a data cable including a Type-C plug, so as to transmit data via the data cable or charge the electronic device 200 via the data cable.

[0046] Specifically, the socket assembly 100 includes a body 110 , which is used to position, protect and support other structures on the socket assembly 100 . The shape of the socket assembly 100 depends on the shape of the body 110 .

[0047] The socket assembly 100 also includes a terminal 130 , which is disposed on the body 110 . The terminal 130 is used to connect to a plug on a data line to achieve data transmission and power transmission functions. The length direction of the terminal 130 is consistent with the length direction of the socket assembly 100 .

[0048] On this basis, in order to meet the waterproof requirements on both the inside and outside of the socket assembly 100, a sealing component 120 is provided on the socket assembly 100. After the sealing component 120 is assembled on the body 110, a portion of the sealing component 120 is located on the outside of the body 110, specifically surrounding the body 110. After the socket assembly 100 is assembled to the electronic device 200, this portion of the sealing component 120 located outside the body 110 can seal the gap between the frame 210 and the outer surface of the body 110 to prevent liquid from entering the interior of the electronic device 200 through the gap between the frame 210 and the body 110, thereby achieving the sealing of the external gap of the socket assembly 100.

[0049] Correspondingly, another part of the sealing component 120 is located on the inner side of the main body 110. This part of the sealing component 120 can seal the gap between the inner surface of the main body 110 and the terminal 130 inside the main body 110 to prevent liquid from entering the electronic device 200 through the gap between the main body 110 and the terminal 130, thereby achieving the sealing of the internal channel of the main body 110.

[0050] The sealing structure in the related art will occupy more space in the length direction. However, the present application satisfies the sealing requirements of both the inside and outside of the socket through a single sealing component 120. Since the sealing component 120 needs to take into account the sealing requirements of both the inside and outside of the body 110, the sealing component 120 needs to extend in a direction perpendicular to the length of the socket assembly 100, specifically, along the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100 ( Figure 3 The sealing member 120 extends to the inner and outer sides of the body 110 in the width direction of the socket assembly 100 (indicated by arrow b) or the width direction of the socket assembly 100. Compared with the sealing solution in the related art, the sealing member 120 occupies a relatively small space in the length direction of the socket assembly 100, thereby reducing the length of the socket assembly 100 and solving the technical problem of excessive length of the socket structure in the related art.

[0051] Furthermore, by reducing the length of the socket assembly 100, on the one hand, the difficulty of assembling the socket assembly 100 can be reduced, solving the technical problem of the difficulty of spatial layout of the socket structure existing in the related technology; on the other hand, the socket assembly 100 with a smaller length can reserve more space in the electronic device 200 to increase the size of the battery in the electronic device 200, thereby enhancing the battery life of the electronic device 200.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the sealing component 120 includes a sealing ring 124 and a sealing plug 122, and the sealing ring 124 and the sealing plug 122 are an integrated structure, the sealing ring 124 is used to seal the gap between the frame 210 and the body 110, and the sealing plug 122 is used to seal the gap between the body 110 and the terminal 130; the terminal 130 includes a front end 1302, the front end 1302 is located on a first side of the sealing ring 124, and the side of the sealing ring 124 facing away from the front end 1302 is the second side.

[0053] In this embodiment, the sealing component 120 includes a sealing plug 122 and a sealing ring 124 , and the sealing ring 124 and the sealing plug 122 are an integrated structure.

[0054] The sealing plug 122 is disposed inside the body 110, and a plug hole is disposed on the sealing plug 122, and the number and shape of the plug holes are adapted to the number and shape of the terminals 130. After assembly, the terminals 130 are inserted into the sealing plug 122, and part of the terminals 130 located outside the sealing plug 122 are exposed for connecting the plug on the data line, and part of the terminals 130 located inside the sealing plug 122 are shielded by the sealing plug 122 for connecting the circuit board in the electronic device 200. Specifically, the sealing plug 122 can block the internal channel of the body 110 in the length direction of the socket assembly 100, so that the external liquid cannot penetrate into the electronic device 200 through the gap between the terminal 130 and the body 110, thereby achieving the sealing of the internal gap of the socket assembly 100.

[0055] The sealing ring 124 is annular and is sleeved on the outside of the body 110. After assembly, the sealing ring 124 is arranged around the sealing plug 122. The sealing ring 124 is inserted into the frame 210 of the electronic device 200 along with the body 110, and the sealing ring 124 and the frame 210 are interference fit. After the installation of the socket assembly 100 is completed, the sealing ring 124 can fill the space between the frame 210 and the outer surface of the body 110 to prevent liquid from entering the inside of the electronic device 200 through the gap between the frame 210 and the body 110, thereby achieving the sealing of the external gap of the socket assembly 100.

[0056] Furthermore, the present application arranges the sealing ring 124 around the sealing plug 122 so that the sealing plug 122 and the sealing ring 124 are overlapped in the length direction of the socket assembly 100. Specifically, the sealing plug 122 and the sealing ring 124 are both arranged in the middle section of the socket assembly 100, thereby reducing the size occupied by the sealing ring 124 and the sealing plug 122 in the length direction of the socket assembly 100, thereby reducing the length of the socket assembly 100. By reducing the length of the socket assembly 100, more space can be reserved in the electronic device 200 to increase the size of the battery in the electronic device 200, thereby enhancing the battery life of the electronic device 200.

[0057] It can be seen that the present application solves the technical problems of excessive socket structure length and difficulty in spatial layout existing in the related art by overlapping the inner and outer parts of the sealing component 120 in the length direction of the socket assembly 100, thereby achieving the technical effect of optimizing the structural layout of the socket assembly 100, improving the structural compactness of the socket assembly 100, meeting the miniaturized design requirements of the socket assembly 100, and improving the battery life of the electronic device 200.

[0058] Among them, the terminal 130 includes a front end 1302 and a rear end. The front end 1302 of the terminal 130 is used to connect to the plug on the data cable, and the rear end of the terminal 130 is used to connect to the circuit board in the electronic device 200. After the assembly of the socket assembly 100 is completed, the side where the front end 1302 of the terminal 130 is located is the first side of the sealing ring 124, that is, the front side of the sealing ring 124, and the side where the rear end of the terminal 130 is located is the second side of the sealing ring 124, that is, the rear side of the sealing ring 124.

[0059] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the body 110 includes: a shell 112, the shell 112 includes a first convex rib 1122, a second convex rib 1124 and a first opening 1126, an annular groove 1127 is formed between the first convex rib 1122 and the second convex rib 1124, and the sealing ring 124 is arranged in the annular groove 1127; in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100, the sealing ring 124 is connected to the sealing plug 122 through the first opening 1126.

[0060] In this embodiment, the body 110 includes a shell 112 , and the shell 112 is made of insulating material.

[0061] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the housing 112 may be formed by rubber injection molding.

[0062] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the housing 112 may be formed by plastic injection molding.

[0063] Specifically, the sealing plug 122 and the terminal 130 are located on the inner side of the shell 112, the outer surface of the shell 112 forms part of the outer surface of the socket assembly 100, the sealing ring 124 is located on the outer side of the shell 112, and the sealing component 120 needs to span the shell 112 to simultaneously meet the sealing requirements on both the inside and outside of the body 110.

[0064] Among them, the outer side of the shell 112 is provided with a first convex rib 1122 and a second convex rib 1124, the first convex rib 1122 and the second convex rib 1124 are annular, and the first convex rib 1122 and the second convex rib 1124 are spaced apart in the length direction of the socket assembly 100, and an annular groove 1127 is formed between the first convex rib 1122 and the second convex rib 1124, and the annular groove 1127 can limit the sealing component 120. By setting the first convex rib 1122 and the second convex rib 1124, an annular and closed accommodating cavity 1102 can be formed on the outer side of the shell 112 in cooperation with the mold, ensuring that the sealant forms a sealing ring 124 in the annular accommodating cavity 1102, preventing the sealant from diffusing outward to the outside of the accommodating cavity 1102, and ensuring that the sealing ring 124 can be formed at a predetermined position, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the sealing effectiveness and sealing reliability of the sealing ring 124 and improving the yield rate of the socket assembly 100.

[0065] On this basis, the housing 112 is provided with a first opening 1126, which is located at the bottom wall of the annular groove 1127, and the first opening 1126 penetrates the housing 112 in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100. During the glue injection process, the sealant can flow from the first opening 1126 to the inside of the housing 112 to form a sealing plug 122 inside the housing 112, thereby realizing the one-piece molding of the sealing component 120, achieving the technical effect of reducing the process complexity of the sealing component 120 and reducing the production cost of the sealing component 120.

[0066] Specifically, after the sealing component 120 is formed, the sealing plug 122 can be connected to the outer sealing ring 124 through the first opening 1126. When the sealing ring 124 is subjected to external force, the force can be transmitted inward to the sealing plug 122, so that the sealing plug 122 can resist part of the force and avoid the dislocation of the sealing ring 124, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the positioning stability of the sealing component 120 and improving the sealing reliability.

[0067] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the material of the sealant is fluororubber.

[0068] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the material of the sealant is silicone.

[0069] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the material of the sealant is nitrile rubber.

[0070] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the material of the sealant is ethylene propylene rubber.

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first rib 1122 is located on the first side of the sealing ring 124, and the second rib 1124 is located on the second side of the sealing ring 124; wherein, in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100, the outer diameter of the first rib 1122 is greater than the outer diameter of the second rib 1124.

[0072] In this embodiment, after the socket assembly 100 is inserted into a predetermined position of the mounting hole 2102 , the first rib 1122 , the second rib 1124 , and the sealing ring 124 are located inside the mounting hole 2102 , and the sealing ring 124 seals the gap between the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 2102 and the outer surface of the shell 112 .

[0073] On this basis, with the sealing ring 124 as the dividing line, the outer diameter of the first rib 1122 in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100 is larger, and the outer diameter of the second rib 1124 in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100 is smaller, that is, in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100, there is a step difference between the first rib 1122 and the second rib 1124.

[0074] Specifically, after the socket assembly 100 is inserted into the mounting hole 2102, the distance between the first rib 1122 and the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 2102 is a first distance ( Figure 3 The distance between the second rib 1124 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 2102 is the second distance ( Figure 3 The above-mentioned step difference is the difference between the first distance and the second distance.

[0075] By providing the above-mentioned step difference on both sides of the sealing ring 124, on the one hand, the matching clearance between the first convex rib 1122 and the mounting hole 2102 can be reduced, thereby improving the position accuracy of the socket assembly 100 and the mounting hole 2102 in the Z direction, thereby reducing the risk of functional failure of the socket assembly 100, and improving the assembly accuracy and electrical connection reliability of the socket assembly 100. Figure 3 , the Z direction is consistent with the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100 .

[0076] On the other hand, the step difference can increase the fitting gap between the second convex rib 1124 and the mounting hole 2102. During the process of inserting the sealing ring 124 into the mounting hole 2102, it is bent toward the side where the second convex rib 1124 is located due to the resistance. The fitting gap is used to accommodate the deformed sealing ring 124 to avoid the second side of the sealing ring 124 not having enough space to accommodate the deformed sealing ring 124, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the difficulty of assembling the socket assembly 100.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first side of the sealing ring 124 includes an inclined surface 1242 , and the inclined surface 1242 is inclined toward the second side of the sealing ring 124 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the terminal 130 includes a front end 1302 and a rear end. The front end 1302 of the terminal 130 is used to connect to the plug on the data cable, and the rear end of the terminal 130 is used to connect to the circuit board in the electronic device 200. After the socket assembly 100 is assembled, the side where the front end 1302 of the terminal 130 is located is the first side of the sealing ring 124, that is, the front side of the sealing ring 124, and the side where the rear end of the terminal 130 is located is the second side of the sealing ring 124, that is, the rear side of the sealing ring 124.

[0079] On this basis, an inclined surface 1242 is provided on the first side of the sealing ring 124 , and in the direction from the root of the sealing ring 124 to the outer end of the sealing ring 124 , the inclined surface 1242 is inclined toward the second side of the sealing ring 124 , so that the sealing ring 124 is extended backward.

[0080] In the process of installing the socket assembly 100 to the electronic device 200 , the socket assembly 100 needs to be inserted into the mounting hole 2102 . Due to the interference fit between the sealing ring 124 and the mounting hole 2102 , the socket assembly 100 will encounter greater resistance during the insertion process.

[0081] In this regard, by setting an inclined surface 1242 on the first side of the sealing ring 124, the sealing ring 124 can be bent toward the second side of the sealing ring 124 during the insertion process, thereby reducing the resistance encountered by the socket assembly 100, thereby optimizing the shape of the sealing ring 124, reducing the difficulty of assembling the socket assembly 100, and improving the technical effect of the practicality of the socket assembly 100.

[0082] Specifically, relative to the length direction of the socket assembly 100 , the inclination angle of the inclined surface 1242 is in the range of greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 75°.

[0083] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 1242 relative to the length direction of the socket assembly 100 is 30°.

[0084] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the inclined surface 1242 has an inclination angle of 45° relative to the length direction of the socket assembly 100 .

[0085] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 1242 relative to the length direction of the socket assembly 100 is 60°.

[0086] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the sealing ring 124 includes a groove 1244 , the groove 1244 is close to the root of the sealing ring 124 , and the groove 1244 is located on the second side of the sealing ring 124 .

[0087] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 124 is further provided with a groove 1244 . The groove 1244 is provided on the second side of the sealing ring 124 , and the groove 1244 is provided close to the root of the sealing ring 124 .

[0088] Among them, the sealing ring 124 formed by sealant has a certain toughness. By setting a groove 1244 on the second side of the sealing ring 124 and placing the groove 1244 close to the root of the sealing ring 124, the strength of the root of the sealing ring 124 can be reduced, so that the sealing ring 124 can be more easily bent toward the second side during the process of inserting into the mounting hole 2102, thereby reducing the assembly resistance of the socket assembly 100, making the socket assembly 100 smoother during the insertion process, and achieving the technical effect of reducing the difficulty of assembling the socket assembly 100.

[0089] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.15 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the main body 110 also includes: an insulating component 114, the terminal 130 is disposed on the insulating component 114, the insulating component 114 includes a third convex rib 1142 and a fourth convex rib 1144, and the sealing plug 122 is located between the third convex rib 1142 and the fourth convex rib 1144; and a boss 116, the boss 116 is connected to the insulating component 114, and the insulating component 114 is located on a first side of the boss 116.

[0090] In this embodiment, the body 110 further includes an insulating component 114 and a boss 116. The insulating component 114 is disposed inside the housing 112, and the terminal 130 and the sealing plug 122 are disposed on the insulating component 114. On the one hand, the insulating component 114 can position the sealing plug 122 and the terminal 130 to improve the sealing effectiveness of the sealing plug 122 and the electrical connection stability of the terminal 130. On the other hand, the insulating component 114 can form an insulating protection on the outside of the terminal 130 to reduce the probability of leakage problems in the terminal 130.

[0091] The front end 1302 of the insulating component 114 faces the outside of the electronic device 200. During the plugging process, the front end 1302 of the insulating component 114 docks with the plug. The rear end of the insulating component 114 is provided with a boss 116, and the insulating component 114 is located on a first side of the boss 116. The boss 116 is used to connect the frame 210 on the electronic device 200. By providing the boss 116, the positioning accuracy and positioning reliability of the body 110 on the frame 210 can be enhanced, ensuring that the insulating component 114 on the first side of the boss 116 can be accurately positioned at a predetermined position, ensuring that the plug can be successfully docked with the socket assembly 100, and ensuring that the terminal 130 can be electrically connected to the circuit in the plug.

[0092] Furthermore, by providing the boss 116 , a gripping area can be provided during the assembly process, which facilitates grasping of the body 110 , thereby reducing the probability of the terminal 130 being misaligned during the assembly process, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the difficulty of assembling the socket assembly 100 .

[0093] Specifically, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the insulating component 114 is made of plastic and is formed by an in-mold injection molding process. During the injection molding process, the upper row of terminals 132, the lower row of terminals 134 and the middle spacer 160 are first installed in the mold, and then liquid plastic is injected into the mold. After cooling, the insulating component 114 that wraps the upper row of terminals 132, the lower row of terminals 134 and the middle spacer 160 is formed. The insulating component 114 can also provide insulation protection for the terminals 130, reduce the probability of leakage problems and short circuit problems in the socket assembly 100, and achieve the technical effect of improving the safety and reliability of the socket assembly 100.

[0094] The insulating component 114 is provided with a third convex rib 1142 and a fourth convex rib 1144 , and the third convex rib 1142 and the fourth convex rib 1144 are located in the middle section of the insulating component 114 .

[0095] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the middle spacer 160 includes: a first spacer, which is arranged on the insulating component 114; a second spacer, which is arranged on the insulating component 114. In the width direction of the socket assembly 100, the first spacer and the second spacer are symmetrically arranged, and the terminal 130 is located between the first spacer and the second spacer.

[0096] Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that during the injection molding process, a rectangular exposed area is reserved in the middle section of the insulating component 114 through the third rib 1142 and the fourth rib 1144, and this area corresponds to the assembly position of the sealing plug 122. The internal terminal 130 can be exposed in this area, and finally the sealing plug 122 can be formed by injecting sealant into this area.

[0097] The upper row of terminals 132 and the lower row of terminals 134 are also used for power transmission and signal transmission. The middle spacer 160 is used to provide strength support for the insulating component 114 so that the plug on the data cable can have sufficient insertion and extraction force on the socket.

[0098] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.15 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the socket assembly 100 also includes: a first conductive component 140, which is disposed on one side of the insulating component 114 in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100; and a second conductive component 142, which is disposed on the other side of the insulating component 114 in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100.

[0099] In this embodiment, the body 110 includes a first conductive component 140 and a second conductive component 142, the housing 112 is located outside the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142, and the insulating component 114 is located inside the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142. After assembly, in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100, the insulating component 114 is clamped between the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142, and the housing 112 is sleeved outside the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142.

[0100] Specifically, the insulating component 114 and the housing 112 may be integrally formed on the inner and outer sides of the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 by an injection molding process.

[0101] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the terminal 130, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are positioned by a fixture, and then the first mold is used to integrally mold the body 110, and the integral body 110 includes the aforementioned housing 112, the insulating component 114 and the boss 116. Then, the second mold is used to inject glue to form an integral sealing component 120 on both sides of the body 110, and the sealing component 120 includes the aforementioned sealing ring 124 and the sealing plug 122. This achieves the technical effect of reducing the process complexity of the socket assembly 100 and reducing the production cost of the socket assembly 100.

[0102] On this basis, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, after the insulating component 114 is formed, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are respectively attached to the two sides of the insulating component 114. The first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are formed by a conductive material that protects the electronic device 200 from electromagnetic interference. The first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are provided to help absorb and dissipate EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), which helps prevent EMI from interfering with the operation of the electronic device 200, thereby improving the signal transmission stability and power transmission stability of the socket assembly 100, and meeting the requirements of the new EN IEC 62680-1-3 regulation of the European Union.

[0103] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are in the shape of sheets.

[0104] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are in a roll shape.

[0105] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are in a pad shape.

[0106] like Fig.13 , Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.16 and Fig.18 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are an integrated structure, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are ring-shaped, and the insulating component 114 is inserted into the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 .

[0107] In this embodiment, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are an integrated structure, which can be formed by an injection molding process or a stamping process.

[0108] The first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are ring-shaped.

[0109] By designing the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 as an integrated structure, on the one hand, the difficulty of installing and positioning the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 can be reduced, thereby reducing the process complexity and production cost of the socket assembly 100. On the other hand, after the annular first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are sleeved on the outside of the insulating component 114, a closed accommodating cavity 1102 can be enclosed on the inner side of the shell 112 in cooperation with the insulating component 114. The closed accommodating cavity 1102 is used to inject sealant, thereby reducing the difficulty of injecting sealant and improving the sealing reliability of the sealing component 120.

[0110] like Fig.15 , Fig.17 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the outer annular surface of the third rib 1142 has an interference fit with the inner annular surfaces of the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 ; the outer annular surface of the fourth rib 1144 has an interference fit with the inner annular surfaces of the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 .

[0111] In some embodiments, optionally, the first conductive component 140 , the second conductive component 142 and the insulating component 114 enclose a receiving cavity 1102 , and the sealing plug 122 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1102 .

[0112] In this embodiment, a third convex rib 1142 and a fourth convex rib 1144 are provided on the outer peripheral side of the insulating part 114, the third convex rib 1142 and the fourth convex rib 1144 are annular, and the third convex rib 1142 and the fourth convex rib 1144 are spaced apart in the length direction of the socket assembly 100, and the sealing plug 122 is located between the third convex rib 1142 and the fourth convex rib 1144.

[0113] The inner annular surfaces of the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are interference-fitted with the third rib 1142, and the inner annular surfaces of the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are interference-fitted with the fourth rib 1144. By providing the third rib 1142 and the fourth rib 1144 with interference fit, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 can be combined to enclose an annular and sealed accommodating cavity 1102, ensuring that the sealant can flow into the annular accommodating cavity 1102, and preventing the sealant from accidentally diffusing to the outside of the accommodating cavity 1102, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the sealing effectiveness and sealing reliability of the sealing component 120 and improving the yield rate of the socket assembly 100.

[0114] like Fig.19 , Fig. 20 and Fig.21As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first conductive component 140 and / or the second conductive component 142 includes a second opening 144 , and in the thickness direction of the socket assembly 100 , the sealing ring 124 is connected to the sealing plug 122 through the second opening 144 .

[0115] In this embodiment, at least one of the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 is provided with a second opening 144, and the second opening 144 connects the aforementioned accommodating cavity 1102 and the annular groove 1127. During the preparation of the sealing component 120, sealant is injected into the mold, a part of the sealant forms a sealing ring 124 in the annular groove 1127, and the other part of the sealant flows into the accommodating cavity 1102 through the first opening 1126 and the second opening 144, and forms a sealing plug 122 in the accommodating cavity 1102.

[0116] It can be seen that by setting the second opening 144 on the first conductive component 140 and / or the second conductive component 142, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 do not block the injection of the sealant, ensuring that the entire sealing component 120 can be formed by a single injection process.

[0117] Specifically, the first conductive component 140 and the second conductive component 142 are both provided with a second opening 144. By simultaneously providing the second opening 144 on the upper and lower sides of the insulating component 114, the sealant can flow smoothly to the bottom of the insulating component 114 to form a sealing ring 124 surrounding the insulating component 114, thereby improving the structural strength between the sealing plug 122 and the sealing ring 124, and reducing the probability of the sealing ring 124 being misplaced or even falling off, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the sealing reliability of the sealing component 120 and improving the safety of the socket assembly 100.

[0119] In this embodiment, two metal sheets 150 and a metal shell 152 are disposed on the outer side of the body 110 .

[0120] Specifically, the metal sheet 150 is connected to the boss 116, and the metal sheet 150 can be inserted into the boss 116. In the width direction of the socket assembly 100, the boss 116 is located between the two metal sheets 150. The metal shell 152 is sleeved on the outside of the boss 116. Two fixing ears 1522 are respectively provided at both ends of the metal shell 152. The two fixing ears 1522 correspond to the two metal sheets 150 respectively. After the metal shell 152 is pre-positioned, the second fixing hole 1524 on the fixing ear 1522 is opposite to the first fixing hole 1502 on the metal sheet 150. Thereafter, the metal shell 152 and the metal sheet 150 can be connected to the frame 210 by screws, bolts, pins and other fixing parts, so that the body 110 is positioned at the predetermined position of the frame 210 by the metal shell 152 and the metal sheet 150.

[0121] It can be seen that by providing the metal sheet 150 and the metal shell 152, the positioning accuracy and positioning reliability of the socket assembly 100 on the frame 210 can be improved, and the probability of misalignment of the main body 110 can be reduced, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the electrical connection stability of the socket assembly 100.

[0124] Among them, a mounting hole 2102 is reserved on the frame 210, and the shape of the mounting hole 2102 is adapted to the shape of the socket assembly 100, and can be set to be flat. During the assembly process, the socket assembly 100 is inserted into the mounting hole 2102. During this process, the sealing ring 124 fills the gap between the mounting hole 2102 and the body 110 through deformation to complete the external sealing of the sealing component 120. Correspondingly, the sealing plug 122 seals the gap between the terminal 130 and the body 110 inside the body 110 to complete the internal sealing of the socket assembly 100, thereby enabling the electronic device 200 to meet the IPX8 level of waterproof requirements, achieving the technical effect of improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 200 and broadening the application scenarios of the electronic device 200.
