Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a connector, and more particularly to a bus connector. Background Art

[0002] Typically, a server bus connector includes not only a conductive spring that contacts the busbar but also a contact spring that contacts the chassis to dissipate static electricity. This contact spring is secured to the base to prevent it from becoming dislodged during repeated insertion and removal of the bus connector. In some common designs, the contact spring is secured to the base using a locking mechanism.

[0003] However, with repeated insertion and removal of the bus connector, the contact springs gradually loosen from the base, affecting their ability to dissipate static electricity. Furthermore, securing the contact springs to the base requires additional structural features. Consequently, the bus connector's overall size increases, reducing space utilization within the server chassis.

[0004] Therefore, how to propose a connector that can solve the above problems is one of the issues that the industry is eager to invest research and development resources to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a connector that can solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a connector includes a base and a sliding spring. The base includes a bottom, a first extension, a second extension and a wing. The first extension and the second extension protrude from the bottom. The first extension and the second extension are arranged in one direction. The wing laterally surrounds the bottom and is located between one of the first extension and the second extension and the bottom. The sliding spring is slidably disposed on the base. The sliding spring includes at least one engaging portion, and the sliding spring is engaged with the base through the at least one engaging portion. The sliding spring moves relative to the base between a first state and a second state different from the first state.

[0007] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the base includes an extension protrusion extending along a first direction, a guide protrusion extending along a second direction, and a through protrusion extending along a third direction. The at least one engaging portion includes a first engaging portion engaging with the extension protrusion, a second engaging portion engaging with the guide protrusion, and a third engaging portion engaging with the through protrusion.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the extending protrusion and the guiding protrusion are disposed on the first extending portion and the second extending portion, and the penetrating protrusion is disposed on the wing portion.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the base has a slide groove located on the first extension portion and the second extension portion. The slide groove further includes a first slide groove section and a second slide groove section. The extension protrusion protrudes outward from the slide groove and is located in the second slide groove section.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a width of the first chute section in one direction is greater than a width of the second chute section in the direction.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, when the sliding spring is in the first state, the first engaging portion is located in the first slide groove section, and when the sliding spring is in the second state, the first engaging portion is located in the second slide groove section and engages with the extension protrusion, the second engaging portion engages with the end of the guide protrusion, and the third engaging portion engages with the through protrusion.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding spring further includes a body, a curled portion, and a bent portion. The body is connected to the at least one engaging portion and covers the outer side surfaces of the first extension portion and the second extension portion. The at least one curled portion extends upward from the body. One end of the at least one curled portion is connected to the body, and the other end of the at least one curled portion is free. The bent portion extends from the body and is configured to abut against the wing portion.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the main body and the second engaging portion jointly define a guiding groove, and the guiding groove matches the guiding protrusion and slides relative to the guiding protrusion.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding spring further includes a suspension portion located at one end of the bending portion, and the suspension portion and the bending portion are located at different horizontal planes.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the connector further includes a pin disposed on the base and protruding from a surface of the base.

[0016] In summary, in the connector disclosed herein, because the sliding spring has at least one engaging portion that engages with the base, and the base includes an extension protrusion, a guide protrusion, and a through-protrusion extending in different directions, when the sliding spring engages with the extension protrusion, the guide protrusion, and the through-protrusion via the at least one engaging portion, the sliding spring can be positioned in different directions, thereby securing the sliding spring to the base when in the second state. In the connector disclosed herein, because the sliding spring and the base are engaged with each other via the engaging portion without the use of any locking elements, the base does not require additional mechanical features, thereby reducing the overall size of the connector and increasing space utilization within the server housing. In the connector disclosed herein, since the base has a sliding groove corresponding to the first locking portion of at least one locking portion, and the sliding groove includes a first sliding groove section and a second sliding groove section, when the sliding spring changes from the first state to the second state, the sliding spring can slide in the first sliding groove section and the second sliding groove section through the first locking portion and move relative to the base, and the sliding spring is fixed to the base in the second state, so as to achieve the purpose of easy installation of the sliding spring and improved fixing effect.

[0017] The above description is merely used to illustrate the problem to be solved by the present disclosure, the technical means to solve the problem, and the effects produced, etc. The specific details of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following embodiments and related drawings.

[0049] The following drawings illustrate various embodiments of the present disclosure. For clarity, many practical details will be included in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not intended to limit the present disclosure. In other words, these practical details are not essential to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to simplify the drawings, some conventional structures and components are depicted in simplified schematic form. The same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to indicate identical or similar components.

[0050] The structure and function of each component included in the connector 100 of this embodiment and the connection relationship between the components will be described in detail below.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 . Figure 1 FIG is a perspective view of a connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the connector 100 is configured to electrically connect to the copper busbar (not shown) in the casing. The connector 100 includes a base 110, a sliding spring 120, a conductive spring 130, and a pin 140. The sliding spring 120 is slidably disposed on the base 110 and is configured to move relative to the base 110. The sliding spring 120 is configured to be fixed on the base 110 and to conduct static electricity through the casing when the connector 100 is electrically connected to the copper busbar (not shown) in the casing. The conductive spring 130 is disposed on the base 110 and is configured to contact the copper busbar (not shown) in the casing. The pin 140 is disposed on the base 110 and is configured to contact the copper busbar (not shown) in the casing and provide a connection signal indicating whether the server corresponding to the connector 100 is connected to the casing. As shown Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the pins 140 protrude from the surface of the base 110 .

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 .like Figure 1As shown, the base 110 includes a bottom 112, a first extension 114A, a second extension 114B, a wing 116A, and a wing 116B. The first extension 114A and the second extension 114B protrude from the base 110. For example, the first extension 114A and the second extension 114B protrude from the base 110 along a direction (e.g., direction Z). In some embodiments, the first extension 114A and the second extension 114B are arranged in a direction (e.g., direction Y). The wing 116A and the wing 116B laterally surround the bottom 112. The wing 116A and the wing 116B are located between the first extension 114A and the bottom 112 and between the second extension 114B and the bottom 112, respectively. As shown Figure 1 As shown, the bottom portion 112, the first extension portion 114A, and the second extension portion 114B collectively define a cavity CV. Cavity CV is configured to allow a copper busbar (not shown) in the housing to pass through, allowing the conductive spring 130 and the pin 140 to contact the copper busbar. In some embodiments, portions of the conductive spring 130 and the pin 140 protrude from the surface of the base 110 toward cavity CV.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 . Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the connector 100 further includes a first conductive spring 130A, a second conductive spring 130B, one or more support members 150, and a fixing member FP. Specifically, the conductive spring 130 is essentially divided into a first conductive spring 130A and a second conductive spring 130B. The second conductive spring 130B is separated from the first conductive spring 130A. The potential of the first conductive spring 130A is different from the potential of the second conductive spring 130B. In some embodiments, one of the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B is connected to a positive line (not shown), and the other of the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B is connected to a negative line (not shown). The one or more support members 150 are disposed on the base 110. For example, the first conductive spring 130A is located on the first extension 114A, and the second conductive spring 130B is located on the second extension 114B. One or more support members 150 are configured to abut the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B. Specifically, one support member 150 is disposed outside the second conductive spring 130B, and another support member 150 is disposed outside the first conductive spring 130A. The first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B are disposed opposite each other. The fixing member FP is configured to secure the first conductive spring 130A, the second conductive spring 130B, and the respective support members 150 disposed outside.

[0054] In some embodiments, the base 110 may be, for example, an insulator or other suitable materials. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the material of the base 110 .

[0055] In some embodiments, the sliding spring 120 can be made of metal, alloy, or other suitable materials. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the material of the sliding spring 120 .

[0056] In some embodiments, the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B may be brass or other suitable conductive materials. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the materials of the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B.

[0057] In some embodiments, the support member 150 may be made of, for example, stainless steel or other suitable rigid materials. In some embodiments where the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B are made of brass, the support member 150 may be made of a material that is more rigid than brass (e.g., stainless steel) to provide sufficient support for the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B during repeated plugging and unplugging of the connector 100, thereby preventing deformation of the first conductive spring 130A and the second conductive spring 130B and thus preventing poor contact.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 . Figure 3 FIG is a perspective view of a base 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 110 further includes an extension protrusion 115, a guide protrusion GB, and a through protrusion BP. The extension protrusion 115, the guide protrusion GB, and the through protrusion BP are configured to engage with the sliding spring 120. The extension protrusion 115 is disposed on the first extension portion 114A and the second extension portion 114B of the base 110. The guide protrusion GB is disposed on the first extension portion 114A and the second extension portion 114B of the base 110. The through protrusion BP is disposed on the wing portion 116A and the wing portion 116B. In some embodiments, the extension protrusion 115 extends in a first direction (e.g., direction X), the guide protrusion GB is elongated in a second direction (e.g., direction Z) different from the first direction to form a bar shape, and the through protrusion BP protrudes outward from the wing portion 116A or the wing portion 116B in a third direction (e.g., direction Y) different from the first and second directions.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 .like Figure 3As shown, the base 110 further has a slide groove G located on the first extension portion 114A and the second extension portion 114B. The slide groove G can be provided on both sides of the first extension portion 114A and the second extension portion 114B, or the slide groove G can be provided only on one side of the first extension portion 114A and one side of the second extension portion 114B. The extension protrusion 115 protrudes outward from the slide groove G. The first extension portion 114A and the second extension portion 114B each have an outer side surface 114s and an inner side surface 114is. Figure 3 As shown, the guide protrusion GB protrudes from the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A and the second extension portion 114B. The guide protrusion GB includes an end portion EB. The end portion EB of the guide protrusion GB is configured to engage with the sliding spring 120. Figure 3 As shown, cavity CV is defined by at least inner side surface 114i s of first extension 114A and inner side surface 114i s of second extension 114B. Wing 116A and wing 116B each have side surfaces 116s and top surfaces 116t. In some embodiments, one end of guide bump GB connects top surfaces 116t of wing 116A and wing 116B.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 110 further has a recess R located on the wing 116A and the wing 116B. In some embodiments, the recess R is formed by being recessed from the side surfaces 116s of the wing 116A and the wing 116B. In some embodiments, the through-bump BP protrudes outward from the recess R.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the extension protrusion 115 is coplanar with the outer side surface 114 s of the first extension portion 114A or the outer side surface 114 s of the second extension portion 114B.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the end EB of the guide bump GB is spaced apart from the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A or the second extension portion 114B.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 4 . Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a side view of a base 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the chute G further includes a first chute section G1 and a second chute section G2. Specifically, the first chute section G1 is substantially the upper portion of the chute G, and the second chute section G2 is substantially the lower portion of the chute G. The difference between the second chute section G2 and the first chute section G1 is that the extension protrusion 115 is located in the second chute section G2 and occupies part of the space of the second chute section G2. Figure 4From a perspective of (ie, viewed in the direction Y of the paper), the first chute section G1 has a width W extending in a first direction (eg, direction X). G1 , and the second chute section G2 has a width W extending in the first direction (eg, direction X) G2 In some embodiments, the width W of the first chute segment G1 extending along the first direction is G1 Greater than the width W of the second chute segment G2 extending along the first direction G2 .

[0064] Please also refer to Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B . Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B FIG is a perspective view of a sliding spring 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B As shown, the sliding spring 120 includes a body 122, at least one curling portion 123, a guide groove 124, a first engaging portion 125A, a second engaging portion 125B, a third engaging portion 125C, and a bent portion 126. The body 122 covers the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A and the outer side surface 114s of the second extension portion 114B. The body 122 is connected to the first engaging portion 125A, the second engaging portion 125B, and the third engaging portion 125C. The curling portion 123 extends from the body 122. Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B As shown, the curling portion 123 extends upward from the body 122. In some embodiments, the number of the curling portion 123 is at least one. Figure 5A as well as Figure 5BThe curling portions 123 shown are illustrated as three. However, the present disclosure is not intended to limit the number of curling portions 123. One end of the curling portion 123 is connected to the body 122. The other end of the curling portion 123 is a free end. This ensures that when the connector 100 is inserted into a housing (not shown), the curling portion 123 can actually contact the housing and conduct away static electricity on the connector 100. The guide groove 124 is provided on the body 122. The guide groove 124 is located between adjacent curling portions 123. The guide groove 124 matches the guide protrusion GB and slides relative to the guide protrusion GB. The sliding spring 120 is engaged with the base 110 through the first engaging portion 125A, the second engaging portion 125B and the third engaging portion 125C. The first engaging portion 125A is configured to engage with the extension protrusion 115 of the base 110. The second engaging portion 125B is configured to engage with the guide bump GB of the base 110. The third engaging portion 125C is configured to engage with the through-bump BP of the base 110. Specifically, the third engaging portion 125C has a through hole TH, and the through-bump BP is configured to pass through the through hole TH of the third engaging portion 125C. The bent portion 126 extends from the body 122. The bent portion 126 is configured to abut against the wing portion 116A and the wing portion 116B. In some embodiments, the bent portion 126 is configured to abut against the top surface 116t of the wing portion 116A and the wing portion 116B.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first engaging portion 125A, the second engaging portion 125B, and the third engaging portion 125C may be, for example, an open buckle, a closed buckle, a U-shaped arm, or other suitable buckles, or any combination thereof. Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B As shown, for example, the first engaging portion 125A can be in the form of a U-shaped arm that engages with the extension protrusion 115 of the base 110. The second engaging portion 125B can be in the form of an open snap (e.g., a latch) that engages with the end EB of the guide protrusion GB of the base 110. Specifically, the guide groove 124 can be guided by the guide protrusion GB of the base 110 and can slide relative to the guide protrusion GB. The second engaging portion 125B is engaged between the end EB of the guide protrusion GB and the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A or the second extension portion 114B. The third engaging portion 125C can be in the form of a closed snap that engages with the through protrusion BP of the base 110.

[0066] like Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding spring 120 further includes a suspension portion 126A. The suspension portion 126A is configured to conduct static electricity on the connector 100 by contacting the housing.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 6 . Figure 6FIG. 1 is a side view of a sliding spring 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the body 122 and the second engaging portion 125B jointly define the guide groove 124. The suspension portion 126A is located at one end of the bending portion 126. In some embodiments, the sliding spring 120 includes two suspension portions 126A located at both ends of the bending portion 126. Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the floating portion 126A and the bending portion 126 are located at different horizontal planes.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 7 . Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the connector 100 in the first state S1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the sliding spring 120 has a first state S1 and a second state S2 different from the first state S1. The sliding spring 120 moves relative to the base 110 between the first state S1 and the second state S2. Details about the second state S2 will be discussed below. Figure 8 To illustrate. Figure 7 As shown, when the sliding spring 120 is in the first state S1, the first engaging portion 125A is located in the first chute section G1 of the chute G. The main body 122 covers the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A. The guide protrusion GB passes through the guide groove 124, while the second engaging portion 125B does not engage with the guide protrusion GB. The third engaging portion 125C also does not engage with the through-protrusion BP. In other words, when the sliding spring 120 is in the first state S1, the through-protrusion BP does not pass through the through hole TH of the third engaging portion 125C. Furthermore, the bent portion 126 does not abut against the top surface 116t of the wing portion 116A.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 8 . Figure 8 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the connector 100 in the second state S2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the sliding spring 120 is in the second state S2, the sliding spring 120 is engaged with the base 110 and fixed on the base 110. Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, when the sliding spring 120 is in the second state S2, the first engaging portion 125A is located in the second chute section G2 of the chute G and engages with the extension protrusion 115. Specifically, the first engaging portion 125A, having a U-shaped arm structure, surrounds the extension protrusion 115 on three sides, and the first engaging portions 125A located on both sides of the body 122 tightly bind the extension protrusion 115, so that the first engaging portion 125A and the extension protrusion 115 engage. The body 122 covers the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A. The guide protrusion GB passes through the guide groove 124, and the second engaging portion 125B engages with the end EB of the guide protrusion GB. The third engaging portion 125C also engages with the through protrusion BP. In other words, when the sliding spring 120 is in the second state S2, the through protrusion BP passes through the through hole TH of the third engaging portion 125C. Furthermore, the bent portion 126 also abuts against the top surface 116t of the wing portion 116A. When the sliding spring 120 is in the second state S2, even if the curled portion 123 is subjected to pressure toward the first extension portion 114A, the sliding spring 120 will not fall off the base 110 because the sliding spring 120 is firmly engaged with the base 110 in different directions through the first engaging portion 125A, the second engaging portion 125B, and the third engaging portion 125C.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 In a usage scenario, such as Figure 7 As shown, first, the user can hold the sliding spring 120 and move it along the installation direction I ND1 toward the outer side surface 114s of the first extension portion 114A, so that the first engaging portion 125A enters the slide groove G through the first slide groove section G1 without being interfered by the extension protrusion 115. Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, the user can continue to hold the sliding spring 120 and move it downward along the installation direction I ND2 toward the bottom 112 of the base 110. This causes the sliding spring 120 to transition from the first state S1 to the second state S2. Specifically, when the sliding spring 120 transitions from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the guide protrusion GB of the base 110 guides the guide groove 124 of the sliding spring 120, allowing the sliding spring 120 to move relative to the base 110 along the installation direction I ND2. Furthermore, the first engaging portion 125A moves from the first chute section G1 to the second chute section G2, the second engaging portion 125B enters between the end EB of the guide protrusion GB and the outer side surface 114s, and the third engaging portion 125C, through its elastic restoring force, causes the through-hole TH to be passed through by the through-protrusion BP. With the aforementioned structural configuration, the user can more simply install the sliding spring 120 on the base 110 while simultaneously securing the sliding spring 120 to the base 110. Furthermore, the user does not need to use additional fasteners to secure the sliding spring 120 to the base 110; the first, second, and third engaging portions 125A, 125B, 125C of the sliding spring 120 can achieve this. This not only saves material but also reduces the volume occupied by the wings 116A and 116B.

[0071] From the above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, it is apparent that in the connector of the present disclosure, because the sliding spring has at least one engaging portion that engages with the base, and the base includes an extension protrusion, a guide protrusion, and a through-protrusion extending in different directions, when the sliding spring engages with the extension protrusion, the guide protrusion, and the through-protrusion via the at least one engaging portion, the sliding spring can be positioned in different directions, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the sliding spring to the base when in the second state. In the connector of the present disclosure, because the sliding spring and the base are engaged with each other via the engaging portion without the use of any locking member, the base does not require the design of additional mechanical features, thereby reducing the overall volume of the connector, thereby increasing the space utilization of the server within the chassis. In the connector disclosed herein, since the base has a sliding groove corresponding to the first locking portion of at least one locking portion, and the sliding groove includes a first sliding groove section and a second sliding groove section, when the sliding spring changes from the first state to the second state, the sliding spring can slide in the first sliding groove section and the second sliding groove section through the first locking portion and move relative to the base, and the sliding spring is fixed to the base in the second state, so as to achieve the purpose of easy installation of the sliding spring and improved fixing effect.

[0072] Although the present disclosure has been disclosed above in terms of implementation methods, this is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Anyone skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure shall be determined by the claims.
