Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a connection structure and a connector, in particular, a bus connection structure and a connector. BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, the connection between the wire and the circuit board is achieved by the connector. For example, the wire end can be provided with a connector, and the circuit board end can also be provided with a connector matching the connector at the wire end.
[0003] However, as the demand for transporting large current increases, the number of conductive terminals on the connector will increase, which will cause the user to have difficulty operating due to excessive friction during the process of plugging the connector of the board end and the wire end. In addition, since the shell usually covers around the circuit board, when the distance between the circuit board and the shell is short, the design of the existing wire end connector will cause the wire to interfere with the shell.
[0004] Therefore, how to propose a connection structure and a connector that can solve the above problems is one of the problems that the industry urgently wants to invest in research and development resources to solve. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present disclosure is to propose a connection structure and a connector that can solve the above problems.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a connection structure includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is configured to electrically connect a plurality of wires. The first connector includes a first housing, a conductive member, a plurality of first conductive terminals, a cover, and a handle member. The first housing includes a mating portion and a pivoting member disposed on the mating portion. The conductive member is accommodated in the first housing. The conductive member includes a first conductive member and a second conductive member separated from the first conductive member. The first conductive member includes a first body and a first bent portion bent from the first body. The second conductive member includes a second body and a second bent portion bent from the second body. The first body and the second body extend in parallel. The first bent portion and the second bent portion extend away from the first body and the second body, respectively. The first conductive terminals are disposed in the first conductive member and the second conductive member. The cover is engaged with the first housing and covers the conductive member. The handle member is pivoted to the first housing through the pivoting member. The second connector is disposed on the circuit board and configured to be combined with the first connector. The second connector includes a second housing and a plurality of second conductive terminals. The second housing has a cavity accommodating the mating portion of the first housing and includes an engaging member engaging with the handle member. The engaging member engages the groove of the handle member. The second conductive terminals are located in the cavity of the second housing and are matched with the first conductive terminals in the conductive member.
[0007] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the extending direction of the first bending portion is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first body. The extending direction of the second bending portion is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second body.
[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the first seat further comprises a partition between the first conductive member and the second conductive member.
[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the handle member further comprises a handle body and a grip connected to the handle body. The groove is on the handle body.
[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the handle member further has a pivot hole on the handle body. The pivot hole is spaced apart from the groove. The handle member further comprises a first protruding wall in the pivot hole. The first protruding wall defines an opening in communication with the pivot hole.
[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the pivot member further comprises a protruding portion, a pivot shaft, and a feature extension. The protruding portion protrudes from an outer surface of the abutment portion. The pivot shaft connects the protruding portion. The feature extension extends from a side surface of the pivot shaft and is spaced apart from the protruding portion. The pivot shaft and the feature extension are shaped to fit the shape of the opening. The feature extension is spaced apart from the protruding portion by a distance. The first protruding wall is accommodated between the feature extension and the protruding portion.
[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the handle member further comprises a second protruding wall in the groove. The second protruding wall and the handle body define an entrance at one end of the groove.
[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the cover further comprises a top plate and a side wall bent from the top plate of the top plate. The side wall has an opening. The first seat further comprises a protruding block engaged with the opening.
[0014] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the abutment member comprises an abutment post and a cap portion. The abutment post protrudes from an outer surface of the second seat. The cap portion connects the abutment post. The cap portion is spaced apart from the second seat by a distance.
[0015] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a connector is configured to electrically connect a plurality of wires. The connector includes a housing, a conductive member, a plurality of conductive terminals, a cover, and a handle member. The housing includes a mating portion and a pivot member disposed on the mating portion. The conductive member is accommodated in the housing.

The handle member is pivoted to the housing by the pivot member.
[0016] In summary, in the connection structure and the connector of the present disclosure, the first connector has the handle member pivoted to the pivot member of the first housing through the pivot hole, and the handle member is connected to the connecting member of the second housing through the groove, so that when the user holds the holding portion of the handle member, the handle member can drive the entire first housing to be separated from the second housing of the second connector, thereby achieving the effect of saving labor to perform plugging and unplugging. In the connection structure and the connector of the present disclosure, the first bent portion of the first conductive member and the second bent portion of the second conductive member extend away from the first body and the second body, respectively, and the first bent portion and the second bent portion extend away from the first body and the second body, respectively, so that the wires do not interfere with the shell around the circuit board, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the space utilization of the overall connection structure in the shell. In the connection structure and the connector of the present disclosure, the pivot hole of the pivot member includes the gap defined by the first protruding wall, and the shape of the gap matches the shape of the pivot shaft and the feature extension of the pivot member, so that when the user installs the handle member on the first connector, the pivot shaft and the feature extension can pass through the gap. In the connection structure and the connector of the present disclosure, the feature extension is spaced apart from the protrusion, and the first protruding wall is accommodated between the feature extension and the protrusion, so that when the user rotates the handle member, the feature extension can stop the first protruding wall, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the handle member from being separated from the first connector during rotation.

Specifically, the distance D1 refers to the distance between the cap portion 2124 and the outer surface 210so of the second housing 210.
[0125] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the cap 2124 is larger than the diameter of the connecting post 2122. Specifically, the diameter of the connecting post 2122 refers to the diameter of the connecting post 2122 extending in the planes extending in the X and Z directions, and the diameter of the cap 2124 refers to the diameter of the cap 2124 extending in the planes extending in the X and Z directions.

Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first base 110 further has a plurality of openings 113. The openings 113 penetrate the bottom surface 111b of the mating portion 111. The plurality of openings 113 correspond to the second conductive terminal 220. Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the feature extension 1123 is connected to the pivot 1122 and extends parallel to the direction X. However, this disclosure is not intended to limit the extension direction of the feature extension 1123.
[0128] Please refer to Figure 7 . Figure 8 This is a top view of a first base 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the pivot 1122 protrudes from the outer surface 210so of the protrusion 1121 away from the second seat 210. A feature extension 1123 is provided at the end of the pivot 1122 away from the protrusion 1121. The feature extension 1123 extends from the pivot 1122 and is spaced apart from the protrusion 1121. Specifically, the feature extension 1123 extends from the side of the pivot 1122. Figure 3 As shown, the feature extension 1123 and the protrusion 1121 are separated by a distance D2. Specifically, the distance D2 refers to the distance between the feature extension 1123 and the protrusion 1121 in the Y direction.
[0129] Please refer to Figure 8 . Figure 9 This is a perspective view of a conductive element 120 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 as well as Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the through hole 123 penetrates the conductive element 120 (i.e., the first conductive element 120A or the second conductive element 120B). In some embodiments, the through hole 123 penetrates the body 122 and the portion of the bend 124. In some embodiments, several through holes 123 extend along a direction (e.g., direction Z).
[0130] Please refer toFigure 10 . Figure 10 is a perspective view of a first conductive terminal 130 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 10 , in the present embodiment, the first conductive terminal 130 includes a top ring 131, a bottom ring 132, a plurality of connecting bridges 133, a plurality of top tabs 134, and a plurality of bottom tabs 135. The top ring 131 is located above the bottom ring 132. The connecting bridges 133 are connected between the top ring 131 and the bottom ring 132. In some embodiments, the center of the connecting bridges 133 is curved toward the inside of the first conductive terminal 130. The top tabs 134 extend from the top ring 131 toward the bottom ring 132. Specifically, one end of the top tabs 134 is connected to the top ring 131, and the other end of the top tabs 134 is floating. The bottom tabs 135 extend from the bottom ring 132 toward the top ring 131. Specifically, one end of the bottom tabs 135 is connected to the bottom ring 132, and the other end of the bottom tabs 135 is floating.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 10 . Figure 10 is a perspective view of a handle member 140 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6 , in the present embodiment, the handle member 140 has an outer surface 140so. The pivot hole OP, the slot TG, and the positioning hole 149 are disposed on the outer surface 140so of the handle member 140 and penetrate the handle body 142. As shown in Figure 10 , the handle member 140 further includes a first raised wall RW1. The first raised wall RW1 is located in the pivot hole OP. In some embodiments, the first raised wall RW1 extends from the inner wall of the pivot hole OP and surrounds in the pivot hole OP. In some embodiments, the first raised wall RW1 is not completely annular. As shown in Figure 10 , specifically, because the first raised wall RW1 is not annular, the first raised wall RW1 defines a gap R. The gap R is in communication with the pivot hole OP. In some embodiments, the shapes of the pivot shaft 1122 and the feature extension 1123 are consistent with the shape of the gap R. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 10 , the shapes of the pivot shaft 1122 and the feature extension 1123 refer to the shapes of the pivot shaft 1122 and the feature extension 1123 as viewed in the direction Y, and the shape of the gap R refers to the shape of the gap R as viewed in the direction Y.
[0133] Please refer to Figure 6 In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , the handle member 140 further comprises a second raised wall RW2. The second raised wall RW2 is located in the trench TG. In some embodiments, the second raised wall RW2 extends from the inner wall of the trench TG and surrounds the trench TG. In some embodiments, the second raised wall RW2 is not completely annular. As shown in Figure 10 , in particular, because the second raised wall RW2 is not annular, the second raised wall RW2 defines the entrance ET with the handle body 142.
[0134] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 . Because the shape of the pivot 1122 and the feature extension 1123 matches the shape of the notch R, the handle member 140 can be coupled with the pivot member 112 through the notch R located in the pivot hole OP. When the handle member 140 is coupled with the pivot member 112 of the first seat body 110 through the notch R, the first raised wall RW1 is accommodated between the feature extension 1123 and the protrusion 1121.
[0135] Please refer to Figures 11a-11b , Figure 11a and Figure 11b . Because the second raised wall RW2 is substantially conformal with the trench TG, the engagement member 212 can enter the trench TG through the entrance ET of the handle member 140. When the engagement member 212 moves in the trench TG, the second raised wall RW2 is accommodated between the outer surface 210so of the second seat body 210 and the cap 2124.
[0136] Please refer to Figures 11a-11b . Figures 11a-11b is a cross-sectional view of a handle member 140 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of another handle member 140 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 11a-11b , in the present embodiment, the handle member 140 has an inner surface 140si. The surface of the first raised wall RW1 is coplanar with the inner surface 140si of the handle member 140. The surface of the second raised wall RW2 is coplanar with the inner surface 140si of the handle member 140. As shown in Figure 7 , the first raised wall RW1 and the second raised wall RW2 each has a thickness D3. In particular, the thickness D3 of the first raised wall RW1 and the second raised wall RW2 refers to the thickness of the first raised wall RW1 and the second raised wall RW2 in the direction Y.
[0137] Please refer to Figures 11a-11b and Figure 12In some embodiments, the distance D1 between the cap 2124 and the outer surface 210so of the second seat 210 is greater than or equal to the thickness D3 of the second protruding wall RW2. Because the distance D1 is greater than or equal to the thickness D3, the second protruding wall RW2 is accommodated between the outer surface 210so of the second seat 210 and the cap 2124. Therefore, the connecting member 212 can move within the groove TG. Please refer to... Figure 12 as well as Figure 12 In some embodiments, the distance D2 between the feature extension 1123 and the protrusion 1121 is greater than or equal to the thickness D3 of the first protruding wall RW1. Because the distance D2 is greater than or equal to the thickness D3, the first protruding wall RW1 is accommodated between the feature extension 1123 and the protrusion 1121.
[0138] Please refer to Figure 13 . Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection structure CS in a first state S1 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, several cables CB are electrically connected to the conductive member 120. When the connection structure CS is in the first state S1, the first connector 100 is coupled to the handle member 140 through the pivot hole OP via the pivot 1122 and the feature extension 1123.
[0139] Please refer to Figure 14 . Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection structure CS in a second state S2 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. (See Figure 1) Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection structure CS has a second state S2 and a third state S3, which is different from the second state S2. The first connector 100 moves relative to the second connector 200 between the second state S2 and the third state S3. Details regarding the third state S3 will be provided below. Figure 14 To illustrate. For example Figure 12 As shown, when the connecting structure CS is in the second state S2, the mating part 111 is located in the second seat 210. The pivoting part 112 is pivotally connected to the pivot hole OP, and the connecting part 212 enters the groove TG through the inlet ET.
[0140] Please refer to Figure 12 . Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure CS in a third state S3 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the connection structure CS is in the third state S3, the handle component 140 rotates relative to the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, causing the connecting component 212 to move to the end of the groove TG away from the inlet ET, and the positioning block 119 of the first seat 110 engages with the positioning hole 149 of the handle component 140. Therefore, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are connected.
[0141] The following will describe in detail how the user combines the first connector 100 with the second connector 200 and how the user dismounts the first connector 100 from the second connector 200.
[0142] Please refer to Figure 13 In a use scenario, as shown in Figure 14 , the user can first hold the handle member 140 to mount the handle member 140 to the first connector 100. Specifically, the user has to first align the notch R of the handle member 140 with the pivot member 112 (especially the pivot 1122 and the feature extension 1123). In this way, the handle member 140 is combined with the first connector 100, and the connection structure CS HTP240189CN Page 14 / 16
[0143] is in the first state S1. In some embodiments, when the connection structure CS is in the first state S1, the handle member 140 is combined with the first connector 100 at a specific angle. As shown in Figure 13 , for example, the handle member 140 does not extend in the vertical direction (e.g., direction Z) when in the first state S1.
[0144] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figures 11a-11b In a use scenario, as shown in Figure 14 , when the connection structure CS changes from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the user holds the holding portion 144 of the handle member 140 to rotate the handle member 140 relative to the first connector 100, so that the handle member 140 is in a state of extending in the vertical direction (e.g., direction Z). When the user rotates the handle member 140, the first ledge RW1 in the pivot hole OP is accommodated between the feature extension 1123 and the protrusion 1121 (as shown in Figures 12 to 14 and Figure 13 ), to prevent the handle member 140 from being detached from the first connector 100. Then, the user moves the first connector 100 towards the second connector 200, so that the engagement member 212 enters the groove TG through the entrance ET. Then, as shown in Figure 14 , when the connection structure CS changes from the second state S2 to the third state S3, the user continues to rotate the handle member 140, so that the engagement member 212 moves to an end of the groove TG away from the entrance ET, and the positioning block 119 of the first seat body 110 engages with the positioning hole 149 of the handle member 140. In this way, the first connector 100 is combined with the second connector 200.
[0145] Please refer to Figure 12 In a use scenario, as shown in and As shown, when the connection structure CS changes from the third state S3 to the second state S2, the user grips the grip portion 144 of the handle component 140 to rotate the handle component 140 relative to the first connector 100, so that the handle component 140 is in a state of extending in the vertical direction (e.g., direction Z). When the user rotates the handle component 140, the connecting member 212 moves to the end of the groove TG near the entrance ET, causing the mating portion 111 of the first seat 110 to disengage from the cavity CVT of the second seat 210. Then, as... As shown, when the connection structure CS changes from the second state S2 to the first state S1, the user moves the first connector 100 away from the second connector 200, causing the connecting part 212 to disengage from the groove TG through the inlet ET. The user continues to rotate the handle part 140, aligning the notch R of the handle part 140 with the pivot part 112, thus placing the connection structure CS in the first state S1. In this way, the first connector 100 is detached from the second connector 200.
[0146] In some implementations, when the user wants to keep the connection structure CS in the third state S3, the user can retract the handle component 140 so that the positioning block 119 engages with the positioning hole 149.
[0147] From the detailed description of the specific embodiments disclosed above, it is clear that in the connection structure and connector disclosed, since the first connector has a handle component pivotally connected to the first base body through a pivot hole, and the handle component is connected to the connecting component of the second base body through a groove, when the user holds the gripping part of the handle component, the handle component can drive the entire first base body. (HTP240189CN, page 15 / 16)
[0148] The second housing detaches from the second connector, achieving a more effortless insertion and removal. In the disclosed connection structure and connector, since the first bent portion of the first conductive member and the second bent portion of the second conductive member extend from the first body and the second body respectively, and the first bent portion and the second bent portion extend in opposite directions, the wires do not interfere with the housing located around the circuit board, thereby increasing the space utilization of the overall connection structure within the housing. In the disclosed connection structure and connector, since the pivot hole of the pivot member includes a notch defined by the first protruding wall, and the shape of the notch matches the shape of the pivot and the feature extension of the pivot member, the pivot and the feature extension can pass through the notch when the user installs the handle member onto the first connector. In the disclosed connection structure and connector, since the feature extension is separated from the protrusion, and the first protruding wall is accommodated between the feature extension and the protrusion, when the user rotates the handle member, the feature extension can stop the first protruding wall, thereby preventing the handle member from detaching from the first connector during rotation.
