[0002] Connectors enable the connection between electrical equipment and various cables, allowing the electrical equipment to transmit signals or power to other devices.

[0003] A connector typically consists of an interface portion and a lead portion. The lead portion is inserted into a socket on a circuit board. During connector installation, a structural component is usually used. This structural component has mounting holes for the interface portion to pass through. After the interface portion passes through these holes, it is then connected to the structural component to install the connector. However, the installation efficiency of connectors in this technology is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Optionally, the auxiliary body can extend and retract along the preset direction, and the connecting pressing member can move relative to the auxiliary body along the preset direction to adjust the position of the connecting pressing member;

[0016] The connecting pressure member has a mating hole through which the auxiliary body passes and moves. The mating hole is a non-circular hole. The outer contour of the portion of the auxiliary body that extends into the mounting hole is adapted to the shape of the mating hole to prevent the connecting pressure member from rotating circumferentially.

[0017] Optionally, the connector body further includes a connector, through which the structural component is connected to the circuit board;

[0018] The auxiliary body has a limiting part for defining the position of the connector.

[0019] Optionally, there are at least two connectors, which are arranged at intervals along a preset direction; there are at least two limiting parts, which correspond one-to-one with the connectors.

[0020] The auxiliary body can extend and retract along the preset direction;

[0021] The auxiliary body includes a first body and a second body. The first body can move along the preset direction toward the second body or toward the direction away from the second body to adjust the size of the auxiliary body along the preset direction.

[0022] Both the first body and the second body have at least one of the limiting portions.

[0023] Optionally, an adjusting member is rotatably connected to the second body, and one of the adjusting member and the first body has an external thread, and the other of the adjusting member and the first body has an internal thread hole.

[0025] Optionally, one of the first body and the second body includes a guide member, and the other of the first body and the second body has a guide groove extending in a preset direction for the guide member to extend into and slide.

[0026] The guide groove is a non-circular groove, and the shape of the guide member is adapted to the shape of the guide groove to prevent the guide member from rotating circumferentially.

[0027] Optionally, the limiting part includes a limiting groove disposed on the auxiliary body and into which the connecting member can extend;

[0028] The auxiliary body is provided with a limiting component, which includes two limiting protrusions extending toward the connector. The two limiting protrusions are arranged at intervals along a preset direction and together with the auxiliary body define the limiting groove.

[0033] The auxiliary body is provided with a first magnetic suction member at the position corresponding to the first mounting hole. The installation auxiliary device also includes a second magnetic suction member. The second magnetic suction member can pass through the first mounting hole from the side of the circuit board away from the auxiliary body and magnetically attract the first magnetic suction member.

[0034] The second magnetic member has an abutment protrusion for abutting against the side of the circuit board opposite to the auxiliary body, so as to clamp the circuit board between the auxiliary body and the abutment protrusion.

[0035] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an installation assistance system for connectors and structural components, including connectors, structural components, and an installation assistance device for connectors and structural components as described above.

[0036] The present invention provides an auxiliary device and system for installing connectors and structural components. By providing an auxiliary body that is detachably connected to a circuit board, at least a portion of the auxiliary body is disposed on one side of the circuit board. An abutment structure is provided on the auxiliary body, positioned on the side of the connector body opposite to the circuit board where the interface portion faces the board. This abuts the interface portion against the circuit board, at least when it is inserted into the mounting hole. This configuration allows the interface portion to be clamped between the abutment structure and the circuit board during connector installation, such as when the interface portion is inserted into the mounting hole of the structural component. This achieves pre-fixation of the connector body on the circuit board. This is particularly useful when the structural component includes a frame, the mounting hole is located on the side wall of the frame, and the circuit board needs to be tilted to insert the interface portion into the mounting hole. This configuration prevents the lead portion from detaching from the socket when the circuit board is tilted, thus avoiding the need for repeated insertion and deformation of the lead portion. This ensures a secure connection between the socket and the lead portion, improving the ease and efficiency of connector installation.

[0037] Moreover, this method allows for convenient installation of connectors and structural components without altering their structure, thus saving costs associated with redesigning and manufacturing the structural components. For instance, when the shape of the interface and mounting hole is matched, this avoids situations where enlarging the size of the mounting hole would affect the sealing between the interface and the mounting hole after installation.

[0038] Meanwhile, since the auxiliary body is detachably connected to the circuit board, the connector and circuit board can be pre-fixed, and the auxiliary body can be easily removed from the circuit board after the interface is inserted into the mounting hole. This facilitates further fixing of the connector and structural components. Moreover, if either the auxiliary body or the circuit board is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, which can avoid the scrapping of the entire auxiliary body and circuit board to a certain extent and save maintenance and usage costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Connectors generally consist of an interface portion and a lead portion. The lead portion can be inserted into a socket on a circuit board. During connector installation, a structural component is typically used. This structural component has mounting holes for the interface portion to pass through. After the interface portion passes through these holes, it is then connected to the structural component to install the connector. However, the installation efficiency of connectors in related technologies is relatively low.

[0050] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide an installation auxiliary device and system for connectors and structural components. By setting an auxiliary body, the auxiliary body is detachably connected to the circuit board, and an abutment structure is set on the auxiliary body. The abutment structure can abut the interface portion of the connector body against the circuit board at least when the interface portion of the connector body extends into the mounting hole of the structural component, thereby achieving pre-fixation of the connector body on the circuit board. This can, to a certain extent, prevent the lead portion of the connector body from easily falling out of the socket of the circuit board during the process of the interface portion extending into the mounting hole, thus improving the installation efficiency of the connector.

[0051] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, illustrates the installation auxiliary device and system for connectors and structural components provided by the present invention:

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides an installation auxiliary device for connectors and structural components (hereinafter referred to as the installation auxiliary device), which is used to assist in the installation of connector 200 and structural component 300.

[0053] The connector 200 includes a connector body 201 and a circuit board 205. The connector body 201 includes an interface portion 202 located on one side of the circuit board 205 and a lead portion 203 connected to the interface portion 202. The lead portion 203 is inserted into a socket in the circuit board 205. The structural component 300 has at least a mounting hole 301 into which the interface portion 202 can extend.

[0054] When installing the connector 200 and the structural component 300, the lead portion 203 of the connector body 201 is inserted into the socket of the circuit board 205, the interface portion 202 is inserted into the mounting hole 301 of the structural component 300, and then the structural component 300 and the connector 200 are connected together.

[0055] For example, structural component 300 can be a structural frame, such as having the aforementioned mounting holes 301 made on the side wall of the structural frame. Of course, structural component 300 can also be a structural plate, etc.

[0056] For example, to ensure the sealing of connector 200 and structural component 300 after installation, mounting hole 301 may be adapted to the outer contour shape of interface portion 202, and / or the outer contour shape of circuit board 205 may be adapted to the inner frame shape of mounting frame.

[0057] When inserting the interface portion 202 into the mounting hole 301, the circuit board 205 can be tilted at a certain angle to improve the ease of inserting the interface portion 202 into the mounting hole 301.

[0058] For example, the interface portion 202 can be adapted to an external plug. The lead portion 203 can be connected to the circuit board 205 by soldering.

[0059] The connector body 201 can be used, for example, in electrical equipment in the aerospace field to achieve high-speed data transmission and reliable power connection.

[0060] For example, the connector body 201 can be a J30J connector, such as a bent-pin J30J connector.

[0061] Among them, circuit board 205 can be a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).

[0062] Specifically, the installation aid 100 includes an auxiliary body 1 for detachable connection with the circuit board 205.

[0063] At least a portion of the auxiliary body 1 is located on the side of the circuit board 205 with the interface portion 202. The auxiliary body 1 is provided with an abutment structure 2, which is located on the side of the interface portion 202 away from the circuit board 205, so as to abut the interface portion 202 against the circuit board 205 at least when the interface portion 202 extends into the mounting hole 301.

[0064] The connector and structural component installation auxiliary device provided in this embodiment provides an auxiliary body 1, which is detachably connected to the circuit board 205. At least a portion of the auxiliary body 1 is disposed on one side of the circuit board 205. An abutment structure 2 is provided on the auxiliary body 1, and the abutment structure 2 is located on the side of the interface portion 202 in the connector body 201 that is away from the circuit board 205, so that the interface portion 202 abuts against the circuit board 205 at least when it extends into the mounting hole 301. This configuration allows the connector 200 to be pre-fixed on the circuit board 205 when it needs to be installed, such as when the interface portion 202 extends into the mounting hole 301. This is particularly useful when the structural component 300 includes a structural frame, the mounting hole 301 is located on the side wall of the structural frame, and the circuit board 205 needs to be tilted to allow the interface portion 202 to extend into the mounting hole 301. This configuration prevents the lead portion 203 from coming out of the socket when the circuit board 205 is tilted, thus avoiding the need for repeated insertion and deformation of the lead portion 203. This ensures a secure connection between the socket and the lead portion 203, thereby improving the ease and efficiency of connector 200 installation.

[0065] Moreover, this allows for convenient installation of the connector 200 and the structural component 300 without altering the structure of the structural component 300 itself. To a certain extent, it saves on the cost of redesigning and processing the structural component 300. For example, when the shapes of the interface portion 202 and the mounting hole 301 are matched, this avoids the situation where enlarging the size of the mounting hole 301 would affect the sealing performance between the interface portion 202 and the mounting hole 301 after installation.

[0066] Meanwhile, since the auxiliary body 1 is detachably connected to the circuit board 205, while pre-positioning the connector 200 and the circuit board 205, the auxiliary body 1 can be easily detached from the circuit board 205 after the interface part 202 extends into the mounting hole 301, so as to facilitate the subsequent connection and fixation of the connector 200 and the structural component 300. Moreover, if either the auxiliary body 1 or the circuit board 205 is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, which can avoid the scrapping of the entire auxiliary body 1 and circuit board 205 to a certain extent, and help save maintenance and usage costs.

[0067] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the connector body 201 also includes a connector 204, through which the structural component 300 is connected to the circuit board 205. For example, the connector 204 can be located on the side of the interface portion 202 opposite to the mounting hole 301.

[0068] After the interface part 202 passes through the mounting hole 301, the connector 204 can be connected to the structural component 300 and the circuit board 205 respectively, so as to realize the connection between the connector body 201, the circuit board 205 and the structural component 300.

[0069] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the connector 204 and the circuit board 205 each have a first mounting hole 206. After the connector 204 extends into the mounting hole 301 through the interface portion 202, it is connected to the circuit board 205 by a first fastener 400 passing through the corresponding first mounting hole 206.

[0070] In this way, the connection between the connector 204 and the circuit board 205 can be achieved through the first fastener 400, which is convenient and reliable.

[0071] For example, the first fastener 400 can be a fastening stud, bolt, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a first magnetic chuck 141 is provided at the position corresponding to the first mounting hole 206 on the auxiliary body 1. The mounting auxiliary device 100 also includes a second magnetic chuck 15. The second magnetic chuck 15 passes through the first mounting hole 206 from the side of the circuit board 205 away from the mounting auxiliary device 100 and magnetically engages with the first magnetic chuck 141. The second magnetic chuck 15 has an abutment protrusion 151 for abutting against the side of the circuit board 205 away from the auxiliary body 1, so as to clamp the circuit board 205 between the auxiliary body 1 and the abutment protrusion 151.

[0073] This design effectively utilizes the first mounting hole 206 on the circuit board 205 and the connector 204 to achieve a detachable connection between the auxiliary body 1 and the circuit board 205 via magnetic attraction, thus avoiding the need for additional holes in the circuit board 205. Simultaneously, since the first magnetic member 141 passes through the first mounting hole 206 on the connector 204 when engaging with the second magnetic member 15, the first magnetic member 141 can also be used to position the connector 204 to a certain extent, ensuring the accuracy of its position.

[0074] For example, the first magnetic member 141 may be a metal pin, such as an iron cylindrical pin, or the first magnetic member 141 may also include a connecting post connected to a magnet.

[0075] For example, the second magnetic component 15 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. For instance, a mounting groove can be formed on the auxiliary body 1, and the second magnetic component 15 can be interference-fitted into the mounting groove.

[0076] Of course, in other implementations, the auxiliary body 1 can also be detachably connected to the circuit board 205 by bolts or the like.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector 204, the structural member 300 and the interface portion 202 each have a second mounting hole 207. After the connector 204 extends into the mounting hole 301 through the interface portion 202, it is connected to the structural member 300 and the interface portion 202 by a second fastener 500 that passes through the corresponding second mounting hole 207.

[0078] In this way, the connection between the connector body 201 and the structural component 300 can be achieved through the second fastener 500, which is convenient and reliable. Moreover, by connecting the connector 204 and the circuit board 205 through the first fastener 400, the connection of the connector body 201, the circuit board 205 and the structural component 300 can be achieved.

[0079] For example, the second fastener 500 can be a fastening stud, bolt, etc.

[0080] Among them, the connector 204 can be an L-shaped connector piece, which abuts against the circuit board 205 and the interface portion 202.

[0081] Of course, connector 204 can also be an irregularly shaped connector plate, etc.

[0082] For example, after the interface portion 202 is pre-fixed by the installation auxiliary device 100, the second fastener 500 can be passed through the corresponding second mounting hole 207 in sequence, and then the first magnetic suction member 141 can be moved out from the first mounting hole 206 to disengage from the second magnetic suction member 15. Then the first fastener 400 can be passed through the corresponding first mounting hole 206 in sequence to fix the connector 204 and the circuit board 205, thereby realizing the installation of the connector 200 and the structural member 300. Then the installation auxiliary device 100 can be removed from the connector body 201.

[0083] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the abutment structure 2 includes an elastic abutment component 21. One end of the elastic abutment component 21 is connected to the auxiliary body 1, and the other end of the elastic abutment component 21 is used to abut the interface portion 202 against the circuit board 205.

[0084] This design serves several purposes. First, it allows for the pre-fixation of the circuit board 205 and the interface portion 202, improving the installation efficiency of the connector 200 and the structural component 300. Second, it enables the abutment structure 2 and the interface portion 202 to have an elastic contact, allowing the circuit board 205 to tilt at a larger angle relative to the structural component 300 as the interface portion 202 extends into the mounting hole 301. This provides a wider range of installation angles for the interface portion 202 and the mounting hole 301. For example, when there is a gap between the lead portion 203 and the inner wall of the socket, this gap can be used as a movement space for the connector body 201 when the circuit board 205 is tilted, enabling the interface portion 202 and the mounting hole 301 to quickly adapt and further improve the installation efficiency of the connector 200 and the structural component 300. Third, this design also provides a certain degree of elastic buffering for the connector body 201 and the circuit board 205 during installation, which helps to protect them to some extent.

[0085] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the elastic abutment assembly 21 includes an elastic element 211 and an abutment element 212 that can rotate relative to the auxiliary body 1. One end of the elastic element 211 is connected to the auxiliary body 1, and the other end of the elastic element 211 is connected to the abutment element 212. The side of the abutment element 212 facing away from the elastic element 211 is used to abut against the interface portion 202.

[0086] With this configuration, the elastic force of the elastic element 211, combined with the rotation of the abutment element 212 relative to the auxiliary body 1, can achieve elastic abutment of the interface portion 202, thereby pre-fixing the circuit board 205 and the interface portion 202.

[0087] For example, the elastic element 211 can be a spring, an elastic rope, etc.

[0088] For example, there can be at least two elastic elements 211.

[0089] For example, the abutment 212 can be an abutment plate, a pressing protrusion, etc.

[0090] Of course, in other implementations, the elastic abutment component 21 may also include rubber abutment blocks, silicone abutment blocks, etc.

[0091] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the auxiliary body 1 is located on the side of the interface portion 202 opposite to the mounting hole 301, and the abutment structure 2 also includes a connecting abutment member 22 extending toward the interface portion 202. The elastic abutment component 21 is located on the side of the auxiliary body 1 facing the interface portion 202, and is connected to the auxiliary body 1 via the connecting abutment member 22.

[0092] This ensures that the elastic abutment component 21 is properly positioned to the interface portion 202, while preventing the auxiliary body 1 from interfering with or affecting the abutment structure 2 and the interface portion 202.

[0093] For example, the connecting pressing member 22 can be an abutment block or a pressing plate. For example, the elastic member 211 can be connected between the connecting pressing member 22 and the abutment member 212. For example, a hole for installing the elastic member 211 can be provided on the connecting pressing member 22.

[0094] For example, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the abutment 212 can be rotatably connected to the connecting pressing member 22, so that the abutment 212 can rotate relative to the auxiliary body 1. For example, shaft holes can be provided on the connecting pressing member 22 and the abutment 212, and the abutment 212 and the connecting pressing member 22 can be rotatably engaged by a rotating shaft 3 passing through the shaft hole.

[0095] When connecting structural component 300 and circuit board 205 via connector 204, if the position of connector 204 shifts, for example when connector 204 and structural component 300 are connected via a second fastener 500 such as a stud, the rotational torque generated when the second fastener 500 is tightened can easily cause connector 204 to shift, resulting in connector 204 not fitting snugly against circuit board 205 after tightening. However, when connector 204 does not fit snugly against circuit board 205, the contact area between circuit board 205 and connector 204 is small, creating a gap. After vibration testing, the lap impedance (standard within 20 milliohms) of the second fastener 500 and structural component 300 will exceed the standard, affecting the grounding effect of connector 200 and structural component 300, potentially causing abnormal performance indicators or even damage to the electrical equipment.

[0096] Based on this, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the auxiliary body 1 has a limiting part 101 for defining the position of the connector 204.

[0097] This design allows the limiting part 101 to guide and limit the position of the connector 204, ensuring the stability of the connector 204 relative to the interface part 202. This allows the connector 204 to be parallel and tightly attached to the circuit board 205, thus preventing the connector 204 from shifting position when the structural component 300 and the connector 204 are connected. This ensures the normal operation of the electrical equipment. Furthermore, this design eliminates the need for repeated manual adjustments to the installation position and direction of the connector 204, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0098] For example, the auxiliary body 1 can be disposed on the side of the connector 204 away from the interface portion 202.

[0099] In some embodiments, the auxiliary body 1 can extend and retract along a preset direction. The preset direction can be, for example, [missing information - likely a specific direction]. Figure 5 , Figure 7 The X-direction in the middle.

[0100] This allows the length of the auxiliary body 1 along the preset direction to be adjusted so that the size of the auxiliary body 1 along the preset direction is consistent with the outer dimensions of the connector body 201, so that the installation auxiliary device 100 can be applied to connector bodies 201 of different outer dimensions, thereby improving the applicability of the installation auxiliary device 100.

[0101] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two connectors 204, which are arranged at intervals along a preset direction.

[0102] This ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the connector body 201, circuit board 205, and structural component 300, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical equipment operation.

[0103] In practice, at least two limiting parts 101 can be set and used to correspond one-to-one with the connecting parts 204, so as to ensure good limiting of each connecting part 204.

[0104] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the auxiliary body 1 includes a first body 11 and a second body 12. The first body 11 can move in a preset direction toward or away from the second body 12 to adjust the size of the auxiliary body 1 in the preset direction. Both the first body 11 and the second body 12 have at least one of the aforementioned limiting portions 101.

[0105] With this configuration, by moving the first body 11 relative to the second body 12 in a preset direction, the length of the auxiliary body 1 in the preset direction can be adjusted so that the installation auxiliary device 100 can be adapted to connector bodies 201 of different external dimensions.

[0106] For example, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can be block structures or plate structures.

[0107] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 8 As shown, an adjusting member 13 is rotatably connected to the second body 12. The adjusting member 13 has an external thread, and the first body 11 has an internal threaded hole 110. The external thread and the internal threaded hole 110 cooperate to allow the first body 11 to move relative to the second body 12 when the adjusting member 13 rotates.

[0108] In this way, by rotating the adjusting member 13 relative to the second body 12, the first body 11 can move relative to the second body 12 in a preset direction. The size adjustment of the auxiliary body 1 is simple and convenient. Moreover, through the cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread hole 110, while realizing the movement of the first body 11, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can also be reliably connected through the adjusting member 13.

[0109] Of course, in other embodiments, the first body 11 may have external threads, and the adjusting member 13 may have internal threaded holes.

[0110] In addition, in other embodiments, the second body 12 and the first body 11 may be connected by a structure such as a cylinder or a telescopic rod, or at least one of the first body 11 and the second body 12 may include a cylinder or a telescopic rod.

[0111] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the first body 11 includes a guide member 111, and the second body 12 has a guide groove 121 extending in a preset direction for the guide member 111 to extend into and slide.

[0112] This can guide the movement of the first body 11 relative to the second body 12 to a certain extent, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the first body 11.

[0113] For example, the aforementioned internal threaded hole 110 can be formed on the guide member 111 of the first body 11.

[0114] For example, a countersunk hole can be provided on the second body 12 so that the countersunk hole communicates with the guide groove 121, so that the adjusting member 13 can be inserted into the internal threaded hole of the guide member 111 in the guide groove 121 through the countersunk hole.

[0115] Of course, the second body 12 can also include a guide member 111, and the first body 11 has a guide groove 121.

[0116] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the guide groove 121 is a non-circular groove, and the shape of the guide member 111 is adapted to the shape of the guide groove 121 to prevent the guide member 111 from rotating circumferentially.

[0117] This design further ensures the stability of the guide member 111 moving within the guide groove 121, and improves the convenience and stability of adjusting the size of the auxiliary body 1.

[0118] For example, the guide member 111 can be a guide post with a square cross-sectional shape, and the guide groove 121 can be a square groove. Alternatively, the shape of the guide member 111 and the shape of the guide groove 121 can also be triangular, etc.

[0119] In some embodiments, the connecting pressing member 22 can move relative to the auxiliary body 1 in a preset direction to adjust the position of the connecting pressing member 22. In this way, after the auxiliary body 1 extends or retracts, the position of the connecting abutment member 212 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, thereby adjusting the position of the elastic abutment component 21 relative to the interface portion 202 to ensure the abutment effect of the elastic abutment component 21 on the interface portion 202 and achieve reliable pre-fixation of the connector body 201.

[0120] For example, refer to Figures 5 to 8 As shown, for example, the connecting pressure member 22 can be set on the guide member 111 of the first body 11.

[0121] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the connecting pressing member 22 has a mating hole 221 through which the auxiliary body 1 passes and moves. The mating hole 221 is a non-circular hole. The outer contour of the part of the auxiliary body 1 that extends into the mounting hole 301 is adapted to the shape of the mating hole 221 to prevent the connecting pressing member 22 from rotating circumferentially.

[0122] This ensures the stability of the connecting pressing member 22 when it moves relative to the auxiliary body 1, and also guides the movement of the connecting pressing member 22 to a certain extent through the mating hole 221, further ensuring the stability of the movement of the connecting pressing member 22.

[0123] For example, refer to Figures 5 to 8 As shown, for example, the connecting pressing member 22 can be inserted into the guide member 111. For example, when the guide member 111 is square, the mating hole 221 can also be square. Alternatively, the shape of the guide member 111 and the shape of the mating hole 221 can also be triangular, etc.

[0124] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the limiting part 101 includes a limiting groove provided on the auxiliary body 1 and into which the connecting member 204 can extend.

[0125] In this way, the connector 204 can be limited by the limiting groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the connector 204 relative to the structural part, and thus ensuring the normal use of electrical equipment.

[0126] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting part 101 may also be a limiting post provided on the auxiliary body 1, and a limiting hole may be provided on the connector 204 for the limiting post to extend into.

[0127] For example, in a specific implementation, the limiting groove can be adapted to the outer contour size of the connector 204 to improve the limiting effect on the connector 204.

[0128] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 As shown, a limiting component is provided on the auxiliary body 1. The limiting component includes two limiting protrusions 10 extending toward the connector 204. The two limiting protrusions 10 are arranged at intervals along a preset direction and together with the auxiliary body 1 define a limiting groove.

[0129] With this configuration, the limiting groove can be defined by the limiting protrusion 10 and the auxiliary body 1, so as to limit the connector 204 and ensure the stability of the position of the connector 204.

[0130] Of course, a limiting slot can also be directly opened on the auxiliary body 1.

[0131] When there are at least two connectors 204, there are at least two limit components, which correspond one-to-one with the connectors 204.

[0132] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 10 and the auxiliary body 1 are integrally formed, which makes the overall structure of the limiting protrusion 10 and the auxiliary body 1 have high strength and facilitates subsequent assembly.

[0133] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the auxiliary body 1 also has an extension portion 14 extending toward the connector 204, the extension portion 14 being used to at least abut the connector 204 against the circuit board 205.

[0134] This configuration allows the connector 204 to be clamped by the cooperation of the extension portion 14 and the circuit board 205, thereby further limiting the position of the connector 204 and ensuring the accuracy of its position.

[0135] In practice, the second magnetic accumulator 15 can be disposed on the extension portion 14.

[0136] This embodiment also provides an installation assistance system for connectors and structural components, including a connector 200, a structural component 300, and an installation assistance device 100 for the connectors and structural components.

[0137] The installation auxiliary device 100 has the same structure and implementation principle as the installation auxiliary device 100 provided in the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar technical effects. It will not be described in detail here, but can be referred to the description of the above embodiments.

[0138] The following details the steps involved in installing the aforementioned installation auxiliary device 100 on the auxiliary connector 200 and structural component 300:

[0139] 1) Connect the auxiliary body 1 to the circuit board 205 on which the connector body 201 is provided, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the auxiliary body 1 on the circuit board 205.

[0140] 2) The interface portion 202 is abutted against the circuit board 205 by the abutting structure 2 to achieve the pre-positioning of the interface portion 202.

[0141] 3) Insert the interface portion 202 into the mounting hole 301 of the structural component 300.

[0142] 4) The structural component 300 and the circuit board 205 are connected together by the connector 204, thereby realizing the installation of the connector 200 and the structural component 300.

[0143] Before connecting the auxiliary body 1 to the circuit board 205, the limiting part 101 of the auxiliary body 1 can first limit the connector 204 to ensure the stability of the position of the connector 204 relative to the interface part 202 and the circuit board 205.

[0144] When there are at least two connectors 204 and they are arranged at intervals along a preset direction, and there are at least two limiting parts 101 that correspond one-to-one with the connectors 204, the auxiliary body 1 can be extended or retracted along a preset direction according to the external dimensions of different connector bodies 201, and then the corresponding connectors 204 can be limited by the limiting parts 101.

[0145] In some embodiments, before the abutting structure 2 abuts the interface portion 202 against the circuit board 205, the connecting pressing member 22 can first drive the elastic abutting component 21 to move along a preset direction on the auxiliary body 1 to adjust the position of the elastic abutting component 21 relative to the interface portion 202. Then, the interface portion 202 is abutted against the circuit board 205 by the elastic abutting component 21 to ensure good clamping of the interface portion 202 and ensure the pre-fixing effect of the interface portion 202.
