Specific Embodiments

[0046] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0047] The directional terms involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure, such as "upper", "lower", "side", etc., generally take the relative relationship of the directions shown in Figure 1 as the reference, and these directional terms are only used to more clearly describe the relationship between structures and structures, rather than to describe absolute directions.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0049] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0050] The first aspect of the present application provides an armor structure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the armor structure includes a helmet body 1, a Nakajima 2 and an elastic cantilever 3. Among them, the Nakajima 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 are both arranged on the helmet body 1, and a slot 100 is formed between the Nakajima 2, the elastic cantilever 3 and the helmet body 1. The helmet body 1, the Nakajima 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 are integrally formed.

[0051] The armor structure of the present application forms a slot surrounded by the helmet body 1, the middle island 2, and the elastic cantilever 3. The slot 100 can accommodate the male socket to extend in, causing the elastic cantilever 3 to deform to establish an electrical connection between the male socket and the armor. Moreover, the helmet body 1 can be electrically connected to the female socket, thereby realizing the current transmission between the male socket and the female socket. In this way, a stable connection with the male socket can be achieved through this armor structure, and at the same time, the connection stability with the male socket is improved by using the elastic cantilever 3. Additionally, the helmet body 1, the middle island 2, and the elastic cantilever 3 are integrally formed, which can reduce the impedance of the current passing through the armor structure of the present application, thereby reducing the heat generated during the transmission of the current. At the same time, the elastic cantilever 3 can be used to realize the transmission of a preset current (such as a current above 10A), thereby reducing the volume of the armor structure of the present application. Meanwhile, the heat dissipation area of the armor structure can also be increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, during the charging process of devices such as mobile phones, the elastic cantilever 3 of the present application can allow a current above 10A to pass through and provide elastic force to maintain a stable connection with other connectors. Since the elastic cantilever 3 itself has a small body resistance and can provide a heat dissipation area, this can improve the temperature rise performance of the armor structure of the present application.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the armor structure is used on a connector, and it contacts with other connectors to achieve current transmission. The armor structure of the present application realizes contact with other connectors by the elastic force generated by the elastic cantilever 3.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the helmet body 1 can play the role of transmitting current. It can transmit the current to two connectors in contact with it through the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3. Optionally, the material of the helmet body 1 can be a conductive metal. The embodiment of the present disclosure is only an example and does not limit the specific type of the helmet body 1.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the middle island 2 can be used to connect with the connector, improving the connection stability between the armor structure of the present application and the connector. At the same time, it can also be used to transmit current. Optionally, the material of the middle island 2 can be a conductive metal. The embodiment of the present disclosure is only an example and does not limit the specific type of the middle island 2.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the slot 100 can accommodate other connectors, keep in contact with them, and achieve current transmission.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when other connectors are inserted into the slot 100, the elastic cantilever 3 will undergo elastic deformation and generate elastic force with the connector. This elastic force improves the connection performance between the armor structure of the present application and the connector. After the connector is removed, the elastic cantilever 3 will recover from the elastic deformation.

[0058] Optionally, the number of the elastic cantilevers 3 can be at least 1, such as 1, 2, 3 or 4, or other numbers. This disclosure is only for illustration and does not limit the specific number of the elastic cantilevers 3.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the elastic cantilever 3 can be provided with a structure for contacting other connectors, such as the contact 32, to form an electrical connection with the connector and complete the transmission of current. This disclosure is only for illustration and does not limit the specific structure of the elastic cantilever 3.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the integrally formed helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 are beneficial to the assembly of the armor structure of the present application and the seat body 4 of the connector through the in-mold injection process. At the same time, it can also reduce the impedance of the armor structure of the present application and reduce the heat generated during the transmission of current. In addition, the integrally formed helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 can eliminate the pins for transmitting current, can reduce the volume of the connector in the length direction, and further reduce the space of the connector.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 can be integrally formed by any of the following processes: die-casting process, drawing process. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the processing process of the helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3.

[0062] In summary, the armor structure of the present application can achieve a stable connection with the male seat by providing the slot 100 surrounded by the helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3. At the same time, the elastic cantilever 3 is used to improve the connection stability with the male seat, reduce the impedance and increase the heat dissipation area.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 shown, the number of the elastic cantilevers 3 is at least two. At least two elastic cantilevers 3 extend along the length direction of the slot 100 and are oppositely arranged along the width direction of the slot 100. At least two elastic cantilevers 3 can be respectively located on both sides of the middle island 2.

[0064] It can be understood that two of the elastic cantilevers 3 are oppositely arranged, so that the armor structure of the present application can generate a pair of elastic forces in opposite directions on the connector in contact therewith, thereby improving its connection performance with the connector.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 shown, the number of the elastic cantilevers 3 is at least two. At least two elastic cantilevers 3 extend along the length direction of the slot 100 and are oppositely arranged along the width direction of the slot 100. At least two elastic cantilevers 3 can be respectively located on the same side of the middle island 2. Such a setting is beneficial for the two elastic cantilevers 3 to generate a same-direction elastic force on the inserted connector to improve their connection performance.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, a gap is formed between the elastic cantilever 3 and the helmet body 1 in the width direction of the slot 100. It can be understood that the gap is beneficial for the elastic cantilever 3 to undergo elastic deformation under the pressure of other connectors, so as to increase the degree of its elastic deformation. Thus, it is beneficial for the elastic cantilever 3 to generate elastic force and improve the connection performance between the armor structure of the present application and the connector.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the helmet body 1 has a support portion 11, and the support portion 11 and the middle island 2 are arranged opposite to each other in the length direction of the slot 100, and two elastic cantilevers 3 are respectively located on opposite sides of the support portion 11.

[0068] It can be understood that the support portion 11 can provide support for the elastic cantilever 3, so that the elastic cantilever 3 can be located in the slot 100 to improve the stability of the elastic cantilever 3 and realize current transmission with other connectors. In addition, the support portion 11 also jointly encloses the slot 100 with other parts of the helmet body 1 to keep in contact with other connectors and realize current transmission.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the support portion 11, the helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 are integrally formed. Optionally, the support portion 11, the helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3 are integrally formed by a drawing process. The embodiments of the present disclosure are only examples and do not limit the forming method between the support portion 11, the helmet body 1, the middle island 2 and the elastic cantilever 3.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 3 shown, the helmet body 1 has a guiding portion 12, and the guiding portion 12 is located on the support portion 11. For example, the guiding portion 12 is located at the top of the support portion 11 and above the elastic cantilever 3.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the guiding portion 12 can play a guiding role when contacting other connectors, which is beneficial for the slot 100 to fit with the connector. Specifically, when the guiding portion 12 contacts other connectors, it will interfere with the connector, so that the connector can move along the extension direction of the guiding portion 12 and enter the slot 100 to fit with the armor structure of the present application to realize current transmission.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, since the contact surface of the elastic cantilever 3 with other connectors is the side facing the slot 100, when the connector extends into the slot 100, deformation in the depth direction of the slot 100 is likely to occur between the connector and the elastic cantilever 3. On the one hand, this will damage the elastic cantilever 3, and on the other hand, it is not conducive to the elastic cantilever 3 to keep in contact with the connector. As Figure 3As shown, the orthographic projection of the elastic cantilever 3 on the helmet body 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the guiding portion 12 on the helmet body 1. Such a setting is conducive to maintaining stable and effective contact between the elastic cantilever 3 and other connectors.

[0073] It can be understood that when other connectors extend into the slot 100, they will be guided by the guiding portion 12, so that the connectors can avoid the elastic cantilever 3 during the movement along the depth direction of the slot 100, reducing the deformation of the elastic cantilever 3 along the depth direction of the slot 100, maintaining stable contact between the elastic cantilever 3 and the connectors, and realizing current transmission.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the number of the elastic cantilevers 3 is at least two, and two of the at least two elastic cantilevers 3 extend along the depth direction of the slot 100 and are oppositely arranged along the width direction of the slot 100, and the two elastic cantilevers 3 are located on both sides of the middle island 2.

[0075] It can be understood that the opposite arrangement of the two elastic cantilevers 3 can enable the armor structure of the present application to generate a pair of elastic forces in opposite directions on the connectors in contact therewith, thereby improving its connection performance to the connectors.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, a part of the elastic cantilever 3 protrudes towards the direction close to the slot 100 to form a connecting portion 31.

[0077] It can be understood that the connecting portion 31 protruding towards the direction close to the slot 100 can contact the connector earlier than other parts of the elastic cantilever 3 during the process of other connectors extending into the slot 100 to form a connection, which is conducive to the elastic deformation of the elastic cantilever 3 to generate an elastic force and complete current transmission.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the helmet body 1 has welding feet 13, and the welding feet 13 are located at the bottom of the slot 100.

[0079] It can be understood that the welding feet 13 can be used for connecting pads, forming an electrical connection between the helmet body 1 and the seat body 4 of the connector to be assembled, enabling the armor structure of the present application to fit with other connectors, and realizing current transmission between the connector to be assembled and other connectors.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the elastic cantilever 3 has a contact point 32, and the contact point 32 is located within the slot 100.

[0081] It can be understood that the contact 32 facilitates the stable contact between the elastic cantilever 3 and other connectors, enabling an electrical connection to be formed between the helmet body 1 and the housing 4 of the connector to be assembled, so that the armor structure of the present application can fit with other connectors, thereby realizing the current transmission between the connector to be assembled and other connectors.

[0082] A second aspect of the present application provides a connector, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the connector includes a housing 4 and the armor structure as described in the above embodiment, and the armor structure fits on the housing 4.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, due to adopting the armor structure of the above embodiment, the connector of the present application has the same technical effects as the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0084] In addition, the armor structure can support the housing 4, thereby improving the structural strength of the housing 4.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the armor structure can be everywhere in contact with the housing 4, or it can be a partial structure, such as the helmet body 1 in contact with the housing 4. The embodiments of the present disclosure are only examples and do not limit the specific manner of the armor structure in contact with the housing 4.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the connector includes a terminal 5, and the terminal 5 is electrically connected to the armor structure.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, on the one hand, the terminal 5 can be in contact with other connectors, and on the other hand, by being electrically connected to the armor, an electrical conduction path is formed between the armor structure and other connectors, thereby transmitting the current to the armor structure.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of rows of the terminal 5 can be 1 row, 2 rows or 3 rows, or it can be other numbers of rows. The embodiments of the present disclosure are only examples and do not limit the specific number of rows of the terminal 5.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of terminals 5 is at least two rows, and the at least two rows of terminals 5 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the housing 4.

[0090] It can be understood that the terminals 5 arranged at intervals can make full use of the space of the housing 4, and at the same time can avoid the situation of direct connection between adjacent terminals 5 resulting in a short circuit, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the connector of the present application.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in each row of terminals 5, a gap is formed between adjacent terminals 5 to avoid short - circuit caused by the connection of adjacent terminals 5. Among them, all terminals 5 in each row of terminals 5 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the housing 4. The embodiments of the present disclosure are only examples and do not limit the arrangement mode of each row of terminals 5 and the arrangement mode of multiple rows of terminals 5.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, the terminal 5 has a clamping groove 501.

[0093] It can be understood that the clamping groove 501 is beneficial to the clamping connection between the terminal 5 and the terminals 5 of other connectors. After clamping, the two interfere with each other and are connected, which is beneficial to the current transmission between the connector of the present application and other connectors.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the clamping groove 501 is clamped with the terminals 5 of other connectors through its inner wall to achieve connection. The embodiments of the present disclosure are only examples and do not limit the connection mode between the terminals 5 of the present application and the terminals 5 of other connectors.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, the terminal 5 includes a first clamping portion 51 and a second clamping portion 52. The first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52 are arranged oppositely and enclose the clamping groove 501.

[0096] It can be understood that the first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52 can be connected to other connectors. Since the first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52 are arranged oppositely, a pair of opposite - direction acting forces can be formed between the terminal 5 and other connectors, and this acting force can improve the connection performance between the terminals 5 of the connector of the present application and the terminals 5 of this connector.

[0097] Specifically, when other connectors extend into the clamping groove 501, the first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52 are subjected to pressure along the width direction of the clamping groove 501, and separate from each other, and generate an acting force opposite to their moving direction. This acting force acts on this connector to keep the connector of the present application connected to this connector and achieve current transmission.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52 can be arranged oppositely along the width direction of the clamping groove 501, and the first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52 can also be arranged oppositely along the length direction of the clamping groove 501. The embodiments of the present disclosure are only examples and do not limit the specific arrangement direction of the first clamping portion 51 and the second clamping portion 52.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 5As shown, the terminal 5 includes an extension portion 53, and the extension portion 53 is connected to the second engaging portion 52.

[0100] It can be understood that the number of terminals 5 is generally multiple, and each terminal 5 is connected to the tape. The terminal 5 is separated from the tape only after being installed on the base 4. The extension portion 53 can be the part connected to the tape, and it can be separated from the tape by cutting or the like. In addition, the extension portion 53 can also serve as a welding leg to achieve current transmission between the second engaging portion 52 and the pad.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, a groove 502 is formed between the extension portion 53 and the second engaging portion 52.

[0102] It can be understood that the groove 502 facilitates the extension portion 53 to be engaged with the base 4, which is beneficial to the installation efficiency of the terminal 5.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, one end of the extension portion 53 away from the second engaging portion 52 extends in a direction away from the groove 502.

[0104] It can be understood that such a setting is beneficial for the extension portion 53 to form a weld with the pad as a welding leg, and can reduce the interference of the formation of solder joints at the welding position on the second engaging portion 52.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least a part of the extension portion 53 protrudes outward along its width direction.

[0106] It can be understood that the terminal 5 and the base 4 are generally connected by an injection molding process. The protruding part of the extension portion 53 can increase the contact area between the terminal 5 and the plastic, thereby improving the connection performance between the terminal 5 and the base 4.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the terminal 5 further includes a convex portion 54. The convex portion 54 is connected to the second engaging portion 52, is located in the engaging groove 501, and protrudes toward the first engaging portion 51.

[0108] It can be understood that the convex portion 54 located in the engaging groove 501 can contact with another terminal when the other terminal extends into the engaging groove 501. The convex portion 54 protrudes toward the first engaging portion 51, so that during the contact process of the two terminals, deformation occurs, and the deformation can drive the two terminals to vibrate and generate sound, which is beneficial for the assembler to understand the installation situation of the two terminals.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5As shown, one side of the convex portion 54 away from the clamping groove 501 is recessed inward.

[0110] It can be understood that the inward recess of one side of the convex portion 54 away from the clamping groove 501 is conducive to the formation of the terminal 5 through the bending process, thereby improving the production efficiency of the terminal 5.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, the terminal 5 includes an elastic portion 55, and the elastic portion 55 is located in the clamping groove 501.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when other connectors extend into the clamping groove 501, the elastic portion 55 located in the clamping groove 501 can be in contact with them and undergo elastic deformation. The elastic portion 55 that has undergone elastic deformation generates a force opposite to its deformation direction, and forms an abutment with the connector. The abutting elastic portion 55 and the connector improve the connection performance between the two, thereby improving the stability of current transmission.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base 4 and the middle island 2 can be injection molded.

[0114] It can be understood that the injection molded base 4 and middle island 2 save the process of secondary assembly, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency of the connector of the present application.

[0115] The third aspect of the present application provides a functional module, and the functional module includes the connector as described in the above embodiments.

[0116] It can be understood that due to the use of the connector in the above embodiments, the functional module of the present application has the same technical effects as the above connector, which will not be elaborated here.
