Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a novel FPC plastic locking module connector. Background Art

[0002] Most existing locking mechanisms use a metal spring-loaded mechanism. Limited by product space, the metal thickness of the spring-loaded mechanism is limited (0.20mm maximum). This can easily scratch the FFC card slot when removing the card, potentially rendering the lock inoperable. To unlock, the user needs to press the card while removing it, requiring both hands to unlock the card.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of FPC plastic lock module connector to effectively solve the inconvenience of two-handed operation and make the unlocking process more convenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel FPC plastic locking module connector, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A new type of FPC plastic locking module connector includes an iron shell, pin terminals and a plastic body. The pin terminals are arranged on the plastic body and are integrated by the iron shell cover. The iron shell is provided with a convex bump. The two ends of the plastic body are symmetrically provided with locking limit grooves. The locking limit grooves are provided with a plastic lock. The front end of the plastic lock is provided with a locking protrusion. The surface of the locking protrusion is provided with a plastic lock inner groove and a plastic lock outer groove.

[0007] Preferably, a spring piece for grounding to the FFC card is provided longitudinally in the middle of the iron shell.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the iron shell is connected to the FFC card ground wire through two springs.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the iron shell are folded downward to form assembly feet for mating with both ends of the plastic body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the iron shell is assembled with the plastic body through the assembly feet, and the assembly is convenient.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the plastic body are provided with assembly holes for mating with assembly feet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly feet at both ends of the iron shell are inserted into the assembly holes of the plastic body, so that the two are fixed to each other and formed into one body, which is easy to assemble.

[0013] Preferably, a clearance groove corresponding to the spring piece of the iron shell is provided in the middle of the plastic body, and the clearance groove passes through the plastic body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the two spring pieces on the iron shell pass through the air-avoiding groove to facilitate connection with the ground wire of the FFC card.

[0015] Preferably, there are two convex hulls, which are distributed at both ends of the iron shell.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the two convex bumps play a role of locking, and the convex bumps can cooperate with the inner groove and the outer groove of the plastic lock buckle to prevent the plastic lock buckle from moving forward or backward in the locking limit groove.

[0017] Preferably, the terminal is a 30-pin terminal.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the terminal is a 30-pin terminal. In addition, it can also be replaced with a 40-pin terminal, a 50-pin terminal or a larger-sized pin terminal according to user needs.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present invention is more convenient and simple to use. Through the design of the plastic lock buckle, it can be operated with one hand, which solves the trouble of two-handed operation. In order to better meet the needs of users, it is more practical. The lock buckle is made of plastic material. When the FFC card is locked, the plastic contacts the plastic, making the FFC card not easy to wear, playing a role in protecting the FFC card, thereby increasing the service life of the product.

[0032] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0033] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a new type of FPC plastic lock module connector in this scheme includes an iron shell 1, a Pin terminal 2 and a plastic body 3. The Pin terminal 2 is arranged on the plastic body 3 and is covered by the iron shell 1 as a whole. The iron shell 1 is provided with a convex bump 11, and locking limit grooves 31 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the plastic body 3. The locking limit groove 31 is provided with a plastic lock 32, and the front end of the plastic lock 32 is provided with a locking protrusion 321. After the locking protrusion 321 is inserted into the notch 41 of the FPC card 4, the FPC card 4 is locked. The surface of the locking protrusion 321 is provided with a plastic lock inner groove 322 and a plastic lock outer groove 323.

[0034] The design of the plastic lock buckle 32 enables one-handed operation, solving the trouble of two-handed operation. In order to better meet the needs of users and be more practical, the lock buckle is made of plastic material. When the FFC card is locked, the plastic contacts the plastic, making the FFC card less prone to wear and tear, thereby protecting the FFC card and enhancing the service life of the product.

[0035] For connection, for example, a spring 12 for grounding to the FFC card is provided longitudinally in the middle of the iron shell 1 .

[0036] When in use, the iron shell 1 is connected to the ground wire of the FFC card through two springs 12 .

[0037] For the convenience of assembly, for example, the two ends of the iron shell 1 are folded downward to form assembly feet 13 for matching with the two ends of the plastic body 3.

[0038] When in use, the iron shell 1 is assembled with the plastic body 3 through the assembly feet 13, and the assembly is convenient.

[0039] For the sake of ease of assembly, for example, both ends of the plastic body 3 are provided with assembly holes 33 for mating with the assembly feet 13 .

[0040] During assembly, the assembly feet 13 at both ends of the iron shell 1 are inserted into the assembly holes 33 of the plastic body 3, so that the two are fixed to each other and formed into one body, which is easy to assemble.

[0041] For assembly purposes, for example, a clearance groove 34 corresponding to the spring piece 12 of the iron shell 1 is provided in the middle of the plastic body 3 , and the clearance groove 34 passes through the plastic body 3 .

[0042] When in use, the two spring pieces 12 on the iron shell 1 pass through the air-avoiding groove 34 to facilitate connection with the ground wire of the FFC card.

[0043] In order to better lock and unlock, for example, two convex bumps 11 are provided and distributed on the lower sides of both ends of the iron shell 1.

[0044] When in use, the two convex bumps 11 play a role of locking. The convex bumps 11 can cooperate with the plastic lock buckle inner groove 322 and the plastic lock buckle outer groove 323 to prevent the plastic lock buckle 32 from moving forward or backward in the locking limit groove 31.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the terminal in this embodiment is a 30-pin terminal. In addition, it can also be replaced with a 40-pin terminal, a 50-pin terminal or a larger-sized pin terminal 2 according to user needs.

[0046] The use process and working principle of the present invention for unlocking and locking the card:

[0047] Unlocked state, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the plastic lock buckle 32 is pushed outward along the locking limit groove 31 until the plastic lock buckle 32 can no longer be pushed. At the same time, the convex bump 11 on the iron shell 1 falls into the outer groove 323 of the plastic lock buckle. At this time, the product is in the unlocked state, and the FPC card 4 can be normally inserted into the connector.

[0048] Lock card status, such as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the plastic lock buckle 32 is pushed inward along the locking limit groove 31 until the plastic lock buckle 32 can no longer be pushed. At the same time, the convex bump 11 of the iron shell 1 will fall into the inner groove 322 of the plastic lock buckle. At this time, the product is in a locked state, and the notches 41 on both sides of the FPC card 4 are limited by the locking protrusions 321 of the plastic lock buckle 32.

[0049] Anything not described in detail in the present invention is well known to those skilled in the art.
