[0002] Board-to-board connectors are widely used in electronic devices, especially in situations that require high reliability and stability. With the development of electronic products towards miniaturization and lightweight, the design of board-to-board connectors is constantly improving to adapt to more complex application environments and higher performance requirements. Traditional board-to-board connectors usually adopt fixed connection mode, which is simple and reliable, but has certain limitations in some application scenarios, such as being prone to poor contact when subjected to external impact or vibration, thereby affecting the stability of the entire system.

[0003] In order to improve the reliability and stability of the board-to-board connector, existing technical solutions mainly focus on the following aspects: one is to optimize the terminal structure to enhance the contact reliability, such as increasing the elasticity and contact area of the terminal; two is to introduce a floating mechanism to allow the plug and the socket to move relative to each other, thereby absorbing external stress and deformation; three is to strengthen the rigidity and strength of the shell structure to prevent damage caused by external forces. These methods have their own characteristics and are widely used in different scenarios, effectively improving the overall performance of the connector.

[0004] However, the floating board-to-board connector in the prior art still has some deficiencies. Especially in the case of multi-point contact, since the number of signal terminals and power terminals is large, how to ensure that each terminal can maintain good contact state becomes a difficult problem. In addition, the traditional design often finds it difficult to achieve high-precision positioning and large-range floating at the same time, which makes the connector may cause poor contact due to slight positional deviation during actual use, and even cause short circuit and other problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The following description of the application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 - the accompanying drawings Figure 8 The technical solutions in the present application are described clearly and completely, and the described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present application, not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can easily obtain other embodiments by combining the embodiments of the present application without creative labor, and these embodiments are also within the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] The inventor of the present application found that the existing board-to-board connector is prone to poor contact when multiple points are contacted. Therefore, the present application mainly adopts a floating board-to-board connector, which includes a plug assembly 1 and a socket assembly 2 inserted into each other. The plug assembly 1 includes a plug shell 11, a plurality of first signal terminals 12, and at least two pairs of first power terminals 13. The socket assembly 2 includes a fixed socket shell 21 and a movable socket shell 22, and further includes a plurality of second signal terminals 23 and at least two pairs of second power terminals 24 fixed in the fixed socket shell 21. The purpose of improving connection reliability and stability is achieved, and the present application is further described in detail below.

[0049] The floating board-to-board connector provided by the embodiments of the present application is described with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2The plug assembly 1 comprises a plug housing 11, and a plurality of first signal terminals 12 and at least two pairs of first power terminals 13 fixed in the plug housing 11. The socket assembly 2 comprises a fixed socket housing 21 and a movable socket housing 22, and a plurality of second signal terminals 23 and at least two pairs of second power terminals 24 fixed in the fixed socket housing 21 and clamped in the movable socket housing 22. The plurality of first signal terminals 12 and the plurality of second signal terminals 23 are in contact with each other when the plug assembly 1 and the socket assembly 2 are plugged into each other, and the at least two pairs of first power terminals 13 and the at least two pairs of second power terminals 24 are in contact with each other when the plug assembly 1 and the socket assembly 2 are plugged into each other.

[0050] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the movable socket housing 22 of the embodiment of the application is provided with limiting blocks 221 on both sides of the bottom, and the fixed socket housing 21 is provided with first limiting grooves 211 on both sides of the bottom, and the limiting blocks 221 are located in the first limiting grooves 211. The design of the limiting blocks 221 and the first limiting grooves 211 enables the movable socket housing 22 to be accurately aligned with the fixed position, reduces the positional deviation that may occur during plugging and unplugging, and ensures the good contact performance of the signal terminals and the power terminals. The movable socket housing 22 of the embodiment of the application is provided with limiting protrusions 222 on both sides of the top, and the plug housing 11 is provided with second limiting grooves 111 on both sides, and the limiting protrusions 222 are located in the second limiting grooves 111 and move up and down along the second limiting grooves 111. This enables the movable socket housing 22 to move up and down within a limited range, effectively absorbs the deviation generated during plugging and unplugging, and improves the stability and reliability of the connector.

[0051] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the movable socket housing 22 of the embodiment of the application is provided with a plurality of signal terminal clamping grooves 223, and the signal terminal clamping grooves 223 are provided with stepped grooves 224. The plurality of second signal terminals 23 sequentially comprise signal terminal contact portions 231, signal terminal clamping portions 232, signal terminal elastic portions 233, signal terminal fixed portions 234 and signal terminal welding portions 235, and the signal terminal clamping portions 232 are clamped with the movable socket housing 22. The surface of the signal terminal clamping portions 232 is provided with a plurality of protruding structures matched with the stepped grooves 224, and the plurality of protruding structures are clamped in the stepped grooves 224, so that the second signal terminals 23 are clamped with the signal terminal clamping grooves 223.

[0052] In the specific implementation process, the plug shell 11 in the plug assembly 1 can be made of metal or plastic material, with high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The first signal terminal 12 and the first power terminal 13 can be fixed in the plug shell 11 by crimping. For example, the first signal terminal 12 can be made of copper alloy material, with good electrical conductivity and fatigue resistance, and can also be made of stainless steel material to improve durability. The first power terminal 13 can select the appropriate cross-sectional size according to the current size to ensure safe and reliable power transmission. The fixed socket shell 21 in the socket assembly 2 can also be made of metal or plastic material, used to fix the second signal terminal 23 and the second power terminal 24. The movable socket shell 22 is one of the key components, which can move freely within a certain range to absorb external impact and vibration. The movable socket shell 22 can be made of spring steel or high-strength plastic, which not only ensures sufficient rigidity but also has a certain elasticity. The second signal terminal 23 and the second power terminal 24 are respectively fixed and reliably connected in the fixed socket shell 21 through their respective contact parts, clamping parts, elastic parts, fixed parts and welding parts.

[0053] The signal terminal clamping groove 223 of the embodiment is one of the important structures, which not only fixes the second signal terminal 23, but also plays a guiding and positioning role. The stepped groove 224 in the clamping groove increases the stability of the second signal terminal 23, avoiding poor contact caused by slight positional deviation. In the specific implementation process, the protruding structure on the signal terminal clamping part 232 is closely matched with the stepped groove 224, ensuring the stability and reliability of the second signal terminal 23 after multiple plugging and unplugging. In addition, the design of the signal terminal elastic part 233 is also very important, which can effectively compensate for tolerance accumulation and maintain continuous contact pressure, thereby improving the quality of signal transmission.

[0054] The implementation principle of the embodiment is to optimize the terminal structure and introduce the floating mechanism to improve the reliability and stability of the board-to-board connector. Especially in the case of multi-point contact, the floating design can effectively absorb external stress and reduce the risk of poor contact. In addition, through the multi-level clamping structure and elastic design, it is ensured that each terminal can maintain good contact state, and the overall performance is improved.

[0055] As Figure 6As shown, the signal terminal card joint slot 223 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first sink structure 225 at the opening, and the stepped slot 224 includes a first stepped part 2241 and a second stepped part 2242, the width of the first stepped part 2241 being smaller than that of the second stepped part 2242. The design of the first sink structure 225 is to better guide the second signal terminal 23 into the card joint slot and reduce the resistance during insertion. In this way, the assembly process can be simplified to a certain extent and the production cost can be reduced. At the same time, the first sink structure 225 can also serve as a buffer area to reduce the risk of damage caused by impact or other external forces. The stepped slot 224 is designed in two levels, i.e., the first stepped part 2241 and the second stepped part 2242. The first stepped part 2241 has a larger width and is mainly used for preliminary positioning and supporting the second signal terminal 23. The second stepped part 2242 has a smaller width and is used for further precise positioning and locking the second signal terminal 23. This layered design not only improves the assembly accuracy, but also increases the stability of the structure. Especially for the case of multi-point contact, the layered stepped slot 224 design helps to ensure that each signal terminal is in the best working state.

[0056] In addition, the width difference between the first stepped part 2241 and the second stepped part 2242 also helps to improve the signal transmission quality. The larger first stepped part 2241 can provide more contact area, reduce contact resistance and improve signal transmission efficiency. The smaller second stepped part 2242 can more accurately control the position of the signal terminal to avoid problems caused by slight deviation.

[0057] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that by adding the first sink structure 225 and the layered stepped slot 224 design, the assembly convenience and working stability of the board-to-board connector are further improved. The first sink structure 225 reduces the insertion resistance and reduces the assembly difficulty, while the layered stepped slot 224 design improves the assembly accuracy and signal transmission quality, thereby showing better performance in the case of multi-point contact.

[0058] As Figure 7As shown, the signal terminal clamping portion 232 of the second signal terminal 23 of the embodiment of the application comprises a first protruding structure 2321, a second protruding structure 2322, a third protruding structure 2323, a fourth protruding structure 2324, and a fifth protruding structure 2325, which have protruding amplitudes increasing in sequence. The first protruding structure 2321 and the second protruding structure 2322 are clamped with the first stepped portion 2241, the third protruding structure 2323 and the fourth protruding structure 2324 are clamped with the second stepped portion 2242, and the fifth protruding structure 2325 is clamped with the first sunken groove structure 225. The design of multiple protruding structures is to control the positioning and fixing of the second signal terminal 23 more finely. The first protruding structure 2321 and the second protruding structure 2322 are clamped with the first stepped portion 2241 to form preliminary positioning and support. The third protruding structure 2323 and the fourth protruding structure 2324 are clamped with the second stepped portion 2242 to achieve more accurate positioning and locking. The fifth protruding structure 2325 is clamped with the first sunken groove structure 225, which serves as an additional safety function to prevent the second signal terminal 23 from falling off.

[0059] In the specific implementation process, this multi-stage clamping structure not only improves the stability and reliability of the connector, but also prolongs the service life to a certain extent. Especially in the case of frequent plugging and unplugging, the multi-stage clamping structure can disperse stress and reduce the concentration of pressure at a single point, thereby avoiding local wear or breakage. In addition, the multi-stage clamping structure also helps to improve the quality of signal transmission, as each protruding structure can provide additional contact points, increase the total contact area, and reduce the contact resistance.

[0060] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that through the design of the multi-stage clamping structure, the stability and reliability of the board-to-board connector are greatly improved. Each stage of the protruding structure has a clear functional division, and together they form an efficient and stable connection system. This design is not only suitable for regular applications, but also can cope with more severe environmental conditions, such as high-frequency vibration or large temperature changes.

[0061] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the signal terminal fixing groove 212 is provided inside the fixed socket shell 21 of the embodiment of the application, and the second sunken groove structure 213 is provided at the opening of the signal terminal fixing groove 212. The signal terminal fixing portion 234 of the second signal terminal 23 is provided with a sixth protruding structure 2326, a seventh protruding structure 2327, an eighth protruding structure 2328, and a ninth protruding structure 2329, which have protruding amplitudes increasing in sequence. The sixth protruding structure 2326, the seventh protruding structure 2327, and the eighth protruding structure 2328 are clamped with the signal terminal fixing groove 212, and the ninth protruding structure 2329 is clamped with the second sunken groove structure 213.

[0062] In the implementation process, the signal terminal fixing groove 212 is designed to firmly fix the second signal terminal 23 and prevent it from loosening or falling off during use. The second sink structure 213 is provided at the opening of the signal terminal fixing groove 212, which can guide the second signal terminal 23 to smoothly enter the fixing groove and reduce the friction force during insertion. This design not only improves the assembly efficiency, but also protects the second signal terminal 23 from damage to a certain extent. The protruding structure design of the second signal terminal 23 fixing part further enhances the reliability of the fixation. The sixth protruding structure 2326, the seventh protruding structure 2327, and the eighth protruding structure 2328 are clamped with the signal terminal fixing groove 212, forming a multiple locking effect. The ninth protruding structure 2329 is clamped with the second sink structure 213, serving as an auxiliary fixing means to further increase the stability of the second signal terminal 23. This multi-level clamping structure design is not only suitable for regular fixation, but also can maintain good fixation effect under extreme conditions (such as high frequency vibration).

[0063] In addition, the material selection of the signal terminal fixing groove 212 is also important. In order to ensure the wear resistance and corrosion resistance during long-term use, the fixing groove can be selected from high-performance engineering plastics or aluminum alloy materials. These two materials not only have good mechanical properties, but also can resist chemical corrosion and ultraviolet aging, prolonging the service life of the product.

[0064] The implementation principle of the embodiment is to further improve the fixation reliability and use safety of the board-to-board connector by adding the signal terminal fixing groove 212 and the multi-level protruding structure. Especially in high-frequency vibration and harsh environment, this design can effectively prevent the signal terminal from loosening or falling off, ensuring the continuity and stability of signal transmission.

[0065] As shown in Figure 8 The second power terminal 24 of the embodiment of the application comprises a power terminal contact part 241, a power terminal clamping part 242, a power terminal elastic part 243, a power terminal fixing part 244, and a power terminal welding part 245 in sequence; the power terminal contact part 241 of the second power terminal 24 is in contact with the first power terminal 13, the power terminal elastic part 243 elastically connects and fixes the fixed socket shell 21 and the movable socket shell 22, the power terminal fixing part 244 is fixed in the fixed socket shell 21, and the power terminal welding part 245 extends from the bottom of the fixed socket shell 21; one side of the power terminal welding part 245 of the second power terminal 24 is provided with a cross connection structure 246.

[0066] In the specific implementation process, the power terminal contact part 241 of the second power terminal 24 is connected with the first power terminal 13, and stable power supply is provided. The power terminal clamping part 242 and the fixing part are respectively implemented to stably install in the fixed socket shell 21. The power terminal elastic part 243 is similar to the signal terminal elastic part 233, and is used to compensate the tolerance and maintain the contact pressure. The power terminal welding part 245 can be extended from the bottom of the fixed socket shell 21, and is convenient for welding connection with other circuit boards. The cross connection structure 246 on one side of the power terminal welding part 245 is designed to increase the stability and reliability of welding. The conventional welding mode may have the risk of virtual welding or welding off, and the cross connection structure 246 increases the welding strength and durability by increasing the number of welding points.

[0067] In the specific implementation process, the design of the power terminal elastic part 243 is also crucial. It not only needs to withstand external impact and vibration, but also needs to ensure that the contact pressure can be maintained in various working conditions. Therefore, the power terminal elastic part 243 can be selected to have good elasticity, such as phosphor bronze or beryllium copper. These materials not only have excellent mechanical properties, but also can maintain stable elasticity and conductivity in long-term use.

[0068] In the specific implementation process, the design of the power terminal contact part 241 and the fixing part also needs to consider the actual application requirements. The contact part needs to be accurately connected with the first power terminal 13 to ensure the safety and stability of power transmission. The fixing part is firmly fixed in the fixed socket shell 21 to prevent loosening or falling off. Therefore, the fixing part can be selected in the form of a threaded or buckle structure to facilitate quick installation and disassembly.

[0069] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that by optimizing each component of the power terminal, the electrical performance and mechanical performance of the board-to-board connector are significantly improved. Especially the cross connection structure 246 of the power terminal welding part 245 and the selection of the power terminal elastic part 243 greatly enhance the stability and reliability of the connector, so that it can adapt to more complex use environments.

[0070] The embodiments of the specific implementation mode are the preferred embodiments of the application, and are not limited to the protection scope of the application. The same parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the application should be covered in the protection scope of the application.
