Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a Type-C female socket and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic devices with Type-C interfaces are increasingly used in various fields. In the application process of electronic devices, the sealing performance requirements of Type-C interfaces are becoming increasingly stringent. The sealing performance of existing Type-C interfaces is relatively weak and it is difficult to meet the sealing requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to provide a Type-C socket and electronic device, aiming to enhance the sealing performance of the Type-C interface.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present application proposes a Type-C female socket, comprising a connecting portion, a plastic shell, a fastener and a sealing ring. Specifically, the connecting portion includes a plastic part, the plastic part includes a first part, a protrusion and a second part, and along the first direction, the protrusion connecting portion is between the first part and the second part. Along the second direction, the first part includes a first side surface and a second side surface arranged opposite to each other. The protrusion includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the first protrusion protrudes from the first side surface, and the second protrusion protrudes from the second side surface. The plastic shell is sleeved on the connecting portion, and the plastic shell includes a surrounding portion arranged around the protrusion, and the surrounding portion includes a first surrounding portion arranged on the first protrusion and a second surrounding portion arranged on the second protrusion. The protrusion includes a first crimping surface facing the first part and a second crimping surface facing away from the first part, and the fastener is arranged on the first crimping surface and around the connecting portion. The fastener includes a first rivet claw and a second rivet claw positioned opposite each other. The first rivet claw protrudes from the first side surface, and the second rivet claw protrudes from the second side surface. The first rivet claw presses toward the second crimping surface, causing the first surrounding portion to be pressed between the first protruding portion and the first rivet claw. The second rivet claw presses toward the second crimping surface, causing the second surrounding portion to be pressed between the second protruding portion and the second rivet claw. The sealing ring is mounted on the plastic housing. The first direction is from the first portion to the second portion, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0005] In the above solution, the plastic part is provided with a protrusion, and the plastic shell is mounted on the plastic part and contacts the protrusion. The protrusion provides a position limiter for the Type-C connector, and the protrusion interferes with the plastic shell, blocking water and other penetrating liquids. The fastener is arranged on the first crimping surface and around the connecting portion, and is provided with a first rivet claw and a second rivet claw. The first rivet claw presses the first surrounding portion between the first protrusion and the first rivet claw, and the second rivet claw presses the second surrounding portion between the second protrusion and the second rivet claw. The first and second surrounding portions are subjected to pressure, and the interference with the protrusion is enhanced, which can reduce the gap between the plastic shell and the plastic part, thereby enhancing the sealing of the Type-C socket. The sealing ring is mounted on the plastic shell and contacts the electronic device's housing, forming an interference with the housing, blocking water and other penetrating liquids, reducing the possibility of water flowing into the electronic device through the gap between the electronic device's housing and the Type-C socket. The sealing ring is made of a soft material such as silicone. When it is mated with the casing, it deforms, exerts pressure on the casing, and increases the interference with the casing, thereby enhancing the sealing of the Type-C socket.

[0006] In some embodiments, a first mounting groove is defined at one end of the plastic housing away from the protruding portion, and a sealing ring is positioned within the first mounting groove. The sealing ring protrudes from the first mounting groove by a length that is 10% to 30% of the sealing ring's radius. Providing and positioning the sealing ring within the first mounting groove improves the sealing ring's stability and reduces displacement errors caused by assembly. Setting the sealing ring's protrusion from the first mounting groove to a length that is 10% to 30% of the sealing ring's radius effectively reduces interference between the sealing ring and the electronic device housing within the permitted assembly range, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring.

[0007] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the plastic shell includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion that are relatively arranged, the first wall portion and the second wall portion form a first mounting groove, and the height of the second wall portion is greater than the height of the first wall portion. The first wall portion and the second wall portion are set in the plastic shell, and the height of the second wall portion is greater than the height of the first wall portion. The higher second wall portion can provide support for the sealing ring, reduce the displacement error of the sealing ring during assembly, and improve the stability of the sealing ring. The lower first wall portion can reduce the resistance of the sealing ring when it is set in the first mounting groove, and improve the convenience of the sealing ring during assembly. The height of the second wall portion can be set to a height sufficient to abut against the housing of the electronic device, which not only increases the support force for the sealing ring, but also helps to improve the sealing of the Type-C socket.

[0008] In some embodiments, the connecting portion further comprises a plurality of top terminals, a plurality of mounting portions are provided on the plastic part, a second mounting groove is provided on the top surface of the mounting portion, the top terminal is provided in the second mounting groove, and the top terminal comprises a first end portion away from the second portion. The first end portion is provided in the first portion, and the first end portion extends toward the interior of the plastic part and is bent to form an inner extension portion, and the distance between the inner extension portion and the top surface of the mounting portion is greater than 0.10 mm and less than 0.20 mm. The top terminal is provided in the plastic part for contacting with the Type-C connector to form an electrical connection. When the Type-C connector is inserted inward, since the top terminal is exposed outside the plastic part, the thrust of the Type-C connector when inserted inward may cause the first end portion of the top terminal to warp and be damaged. Extending the first end portion toward the interior of the plastic part and protecting the first end portion with the plastic part can reduce damage to the top terminal in the above situation.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fastener further includes a third rivet claw and a fourth rivet claw arranged opposite to each other, the third rivet claw protruding from the first side surface, the fourth rivet claw protruding from the second side surface, the third rivet claw crimping toward the second crimping surface and causing the first surrounding portion to be crimped between the first protruding portion and the third rivet claw, and the fourth rivet claw crimping toward the second crimping surface and causing the second surrounding portion to be crimped between the second protruding portion and the fourth rivet claw. A third rivet claw and a fourth rivet claw are added to the fastener, and the third rivet claw and the fourth rivet claw are arranged similarly to the first rivet claw and the second rivet claw, so that the first surrounding portion and the second surrounding portion are crimped between the protruding portion and the third rivet claw and the fourth rivet claw. This can generate stronger pressure on the plastic shell, causing stronger interference between the plastic shell and the plastic part, thereby improving the sealing of the Type-C socket.

[0010] In some embodiments, the Type-C socket further includes a first shell, and along the second direction, the plastic shell includes a first surface and a second surface that are relatively arranged. The first shell includes a first sub-shell and a second sub-shell, the first sub-shell is connected to the second sub-shell, the first sub-shell covers the first surface, and the second sub-shell covers part of the second part. Along the third direction, the first sub-shell includes a first limiter and a second limiter that are relatively arranged, the first limiter and the second limiter extend in the second direction, and the first limiter and the second limiter are used to be clamped with the circuit board. And / or, the second sub-shell includes a third limiter and a fourth limiter that are relatively arranged, the third limiter and the fourth limiter extend in the second direction, and the first limiter and the second limiter are used to be clamped with the circuit board. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. Arranging the first shell and making it cover the first surface and the second part can form physical protection for the plastic shell and the connecting part. Along the third direction, a first limiter and a second limiter are provided on the first subshell. The first limiter and the second limiter can be connected to the circuit board of the electronic device. When the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, the displacement of the first shell caused by the thrust is reduced, thereby enhancing the stability of the first shell. The addition of the third limiter and the fourth limiter can further enhance the stability of the first shell. The first limiter, the second limiter, the third limiter, and the fourth limiter can be connected to the circuit board as welding. Such a setting can reduce the situation where the solder joints are opened due to thrust.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second sub-shell includes multiple support members, which are used to support the circuit board. The second sub-shell is provided with multiple support members, which are supported on the circuit board. The circuit board can provide support for the first shell through the support members. This can effectively reduce the displacement of the first shell caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, thereby improving the stability of the first shell.

[0012] In some embodiments, along the third direction, the second portion is relatively provided with a fifth limiting member and a sixth limiting member, and the second sub-shell is provided with a first limiting hole and a second limiting hole relatively provided. The fifth limiting member is engaged with the first limiting hole, and the sixth limiting member is engaged with the second limiting hole. The fifth limiting member and the sixth limiting member are provided in the second portion, and the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole are provided in the second sub-shell, so that the fifth limiting member and the sixth limiting member are coordinated with the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole. This can effectively reduce the displacement of the first shell caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, thereby improving the stability of the first shell.

[0013] In some embodiments, the Type-C socket further includes a second shell, the second shell is arranged on the second surface, the second shell includes a seventh limiter and an eighth limiter, the second surface is provided with a third limiter hole and a fourth limiter hole, the seventh limiter is plugged into the third limiter hole, and the eighth limiter is plugged into the fourth limiter hole. Providing the second shell on the second surface can provide protection for the second surface. Providing the third limiter hole and the fourth limiter hole on the second surface, providing the seventh limiter and the eighth limiter in the second shell and plugging them into the third limiter hole and the fourth limiter hole can effectively reduce the displacement of the second shell caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, thereby improving the stability of the second shell.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present application further proposes an electronic device, comprising a Type-C female socket as in any embodiment of the first aspect described above.

[0023] The technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] Firstly, this application proposes a Type-C female socket, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Type-C female connector includes a connector 1, a plastic shell 2, a fastener 3, and a sealing ring 4. For details, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The connecting portion 1 includes a plastic part 11, which includes a first portion 111, a protruding portion 113, and a second portion 112. Along the first direction X, the protruding portion 113 connects the connecting portion 1 between the first portion 111 and the second portion 112. Along the second direction Y, the first portion 111 includes a first side surface 1111 and a second side surface 1112 that are oppositely disposed. The protruding portion 113 includes a first protruding portion 1131 and a second protruding portion 1132. The first protruding portion 1131 protrudes from the first side surface 1111, and the second protruding portion 1132 protrudes from the second side surface 1112. Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The plastic shell 2 is sleeved on the connecting portion 1 and includes a surrounding portion 21 surrounding the protruding portion 113. The surrounding portion 21 includes a first surrounding portion 211 disposed on the first protruding portion 1131 and a second surrounding portion 212 disposed on the second protruding portion 1132. Figure 4 and Figure 9The protrusion 113 includes a first crimping surface 1133 facing the first portion 111 and a second crimping surface 1134 facing away from the first portion 111. The fastener 3 is disposed on the first crimping surface 1133 and is disposed around the connecting portion 1. The fastener 3 includes a first rivet claw 31 and a second rivet claw 32 disposed opposite to each other. The first rivet claw 31 protrudes from the first side surface 1111, and the second rivet claw 32 protrudes from the second side surface 1112. The first rivet claw 31 is crimped toward the second crimping surface 1134 and causes the first surrounding portion 211 to be crimped between the first protrusion 1131 and the first rivet claw 31. The second rivet claw 32 is crimped toward the second crimping surface 1134 and causes the second surrounding portion 212 to be crimped between the second protrusion 1132 and the second rivet claw 32. The sealing ring 4 is sleeved on the plastic shell 2. The first direction X is the direction from the first portion 111 to the second portion 112, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0025] In the above solution, the plastic part 11 is provided with a protrusion 113. The plastic shell 2 is mounted on the plastic part 11 and contacts the protrusion 113. The protrusion 113 provides a position limit for the Type-C connector. The protrusion 113 and the plastic shell 2 interfere with each other, thus blocking the flow of penetrating liquids such as water. The fastener 3 is provided on the first crimping surface 1133 and surrounds the connecting portion 1. It is provided with a first rivet claw 31 and a second rivet claw 32. The first rivet claw 31 presses the first surrounding portion 211 between the first protrusion 1131 and the first rivet claw 31. The second rivet claw 32 presses the second surrounding portion 212 between the second protrusion 1132 and the second rivet claw 32. The first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 are subjected to pressure, which increases the interference with the protrusion 113, thereby reducing the gap between the plastic shell 2 and the plastic part 11, thereby enhancing the sealing of the Type-C socket. Sealing ring 4 fits over plastic housing 2. It interferes with the electronic device's housing, blocking water and other penetrating liquids, reducing the risk of water seeping into the device through the gap between the housing and the Type-C female connector. Sealing ring 4 is made of a soft material, such as silicone. When mated with the housing, it deforms, exerting pressure on the housing and enhancing the interference with the housing, thereby strengthening the seal of the Type-C female connector.

[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 8. A first mounting groove 22 is provided at one end of the plastic shell 2 away from the protruding portion 113, and the sealing ring 4 is provided in the first mounting groove 22. The sealing ring 4 protrudes from the first mounting groove 22, and the length of the portion of the sealing ring 4 protruding from the first mounting groove 22 is 10% to 30% of the radius length of the sealing ring 4. Providing the first mounting groove 22 and setting the sealing ring 4 in the first mounting groove 22 can improve the stability of the sealing ring 4 and reduce the displacement error of the sealing ring 4 caused by assembly. Setting the length of the sealing ring 4 protruding from the first mounting groove 22 to 10% to 30% of the radius length of the sealing ring 4 can effectively enhance the interference between the sealing ring 4 and the electronic device casing within the range allowed by assembly, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring 4.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 . Along the first direction X, the plastic shell 2 includes a first wall portion 23 and a second wall portion 24 that are relatively arranged. The first wall portion 23 and the second wall portion 24 form a first mounting groove 22, and the height of the second wall portion 24 is greater than the height of the first wall portion 23. The first wall portion 23 and the second wall portion 24 are arranged on the plastic shell 2, and the height of the second wall portion 24 is greater than the height of the first wall portion 23. The higher second wall portion 24 can provide support for the sealing ring 4, reduce the displacement error of the sealing ring 4 during assembly, and improve the stability of the sealing ring 4. The lower first wall portion 23 can reduce the resistance of the sealing ring 4 when it is arranged in the first mounting groove 22, and improve the convenience of the sealing ring 4 during assembly. The height of the second wall portion 24 can be set to a height sufficient to abut against the casing of the electronic device, which not only improves the support force for the sealing ring 4, but also helps to improve the sealing performance of the Type-C female seat.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10. The connecting part 1 also includes a plurality of top terminals 12, and a plurality of mounting parts 114 are provided on the plastic part 11. A second mounting groove 1141 is provided on the top surface of the mounting part 114. The top terminal 12 is provided in the second mounting groove 1141, and the top terminal 12 includes a first end 121 away from the second part 112. The first end 121 is provided in the first part 111, and the first end 121 extends into the interior of the plastic part 11 and bends to form an inner extension 1211. The distance between the inner extension 1211 and the top surface of the mounting part 114 is greater than 0.10 mm and less than 0.20 mm. The top terminal 12 is provided in the plastic part 11 for contacting with the Type-C connector to form an electrical connection. When the Type-C connector is inserted inward, since the top terminal 12 is exposed outside the plastic part 11, the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted inward will cause the first end 121 of the top terminal 12 to warp and be damaged. Extending first end 121 toward the interior of plastic component 11 and protecting it with plastic component 11 can reduce damage to top terminal 12 in the aforementioned situation. The Type-C receptacle can also include bottom terminals 13 on plastic component 11, opposite top terminals 12. To protect bottom terminals 13, their configuration can be similar to that of top terminals 12.

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The fastener 3 further includes a third rivet claw 33 and a fourth rivet claw 34 arranged opposite to each other. The third rivet claw 33 protrudes from the first side surface 1111, and the fourth rivet claw 34 protrudes from the second side surface 1112. The third rivet claw 33 is pressed toward the second crimping surface 1134, causing the first surrounding portion 211 to be crimped between the first protruding portion 1131 and the third rivet claw 33. The fourth rivet claw 34 is pressed toward the second crimping surface 1134, causing the second surrounding portion 212 to be crimped between the second protruding portion 1132 and the fourth rivet claw 34. The third rivet claw 33 and the fourth rivet claw 34 are additionally provided in the fastener 3, and are arranged in a manner similar to the first rivet claw 31 and the second rivet claw 32, so that the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 are crimped between the protruding portion 113 and the third rivet claw 33 and the fourth rivet claw 34. A stronger pressure can be generated on the plastic shell 2, so that the interference between the plastic shell 2 and the plastic part 11 is stronger, thereby improving the sealing of the Type-C female socket.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 as well as Figures 11 to 13. The Type-C female socket also includes a first shell 5. Along the second direction Y, the plastic shell 2 includes a first surface 25 and a second surface 26 arranged opposite to each other. The first shell 5 includes a first sub-shell 51 and a second sub-shell 52. The first sub-shell 51 is connected to the second sub-shell 52. The first sub-shell 51 covers the first surface 25, and the second sub-shell 52 covers part of the second part 112. Along the third direction Z, the first sub-shell 51 includes a first limiter 511 and a second limiter 512 arranged opposite to each other. The first limiter 511 and the second limiter 512 extend in the second direction Y. The first limiter 511 and the second limiter 512 are used to be clamped with the circuit board. And / or, the second sub-shell 52 includes a third limiter 521 and a fourth limiter 522 arranged opposite to each other.

The third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first shell 5 is provided so as to cover the first surface 25 and the second part 112, which can form physical protection for the plastic shell 2 and the connecting part 1. Along the third direction Z, a first limiter 511 and a second limiter 512 are provided on the first sub-shell 51. The first limiter 511 and the second limiter 512 can be connected with the circuit board of the electronic device, and can reduce the displacement of the first shell 5 caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, thereby enhancing the stability of the first shell 5. The addition of the third limiter 521 and the fourth limiter 522 can better enhance the stability of the first shell 5. The first limiter 511, the second limiter 512, the third limiter 521 and the fourth limiter 522 can be connected to the circuit board as welding. Such a setting can reduce the situation where the solder joints are opened due to the thrust.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 13 The second sub-shell 52 includes a plurality of support members 523, which are used to support the circuit board. A plurality of support members 523 are provided in the second sub-shell 52, and the support members 523 are supported on the circuit board. The circuit board can provide support force for the first shell 5 through the support members 523, which can effectively reduce the displacement of the first shell 5 caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, thereby improving the stability of the first shell 5.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12. Along the third direction Z, the second part 112 is relatively provided with a fifth limiting member 1121 and a sixth limiting member 1122, and the second sub-shell 52 is provided with a first limiting hole 524 and a second limiting hole 525.

The fifth limiting member 1121 and the sixth limiting member 1122 are provided in the second part 112, and the first limiting hole 524 and the second limiting hole 525 are provided in the second sub-shell 52, so that the fifth limiting member 1121 and the sixth limiting member 1122 are matched with the first limiting hole 524 and the second limiting hole 525, which can effectively reduce the displacement of the first shell 5 caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C socket, thereby improving the stability of the first shell 5.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 14 to 16 . The Type-C socket also includes a second shell 6, which is arranged on the second surface 26. The second shell 6 includes a seventh limiting member 61 and an eighth limiting member 62. The second surface 26 is provided with a third limiting hole 261 and a fourth limiting hole 262.
