Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to connection structures, and more particularly to a connection structure and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic devices, the connection between power supply components and power consumption components often faces a contradiction between maintenance safety and structural simplification: power supply components and power consumption components usually rely on manual plug-in structures or additional mechanical switches to achieve on / off switching. However, plug-in structures and mechanical switches require manual operation after removing the cover, which can easily lead to leakage risks if the power is not turned off. They may also cause short circuits and burn out the device if external conductive materials fall in. Moreover, plug-in structures and mechanical switches are usually more complex and larger in size, making it difficult to adapt to the thinner and lighter requirements of electronic devices.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a connection structure that requires no manual operation, has a simple and compact structure, and can automatically achieve power-off and power-on through the opening and closing of the shell, in order to solve the problems of high safety risks, cumbersome operation, and excessive size. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a connection structure, comprising a first housing, a second housing, and a connector; The second housing is detachably covered by the first housing, and the first housing and the second housing form a mounting cavity that can accommodate the power supply component, the power consumption component and the connector. The connector includes a power supply connector, a power consumption connector, and conductive contacts. The power supply connector has a first stationary contact that is electrically connected to the power supply component, and the power consumption connector has a second stationary contact that is electrically connected to the power consumption component. The first and second stationary contacts are spaced apart. The conductive contacts are fixedly connected to a second housing. When the second housing is placed over the first housing, the conductive contact abuts against the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact, so that the spaced-apart first stationary contact and the second stationary contact are connected; when the second housing is removed from the first housing, the conductive contact detaches from the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact along with the second housing, so that the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact are disconnected.

[0006] In some optional embodiments, the power supply connector and the power consumption connector are stacked along the closing direction of the second housing. The power supply connector has a first socket, and the power consumption connector has a second socket. The first socket and the second socket are directly opposite each other and are both adapted to conductive contacts. A first stationary contact is disposed on the wall of the first socket, and a second stationary contact is disposed on the wall of the second socket. The conductive contact can be sequentially inserted into the first socket and the second socket and simultaneously contact the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact; or... The power supply connector and the power consumption connector are arranged side by side along the length or width of the first housing. The first stationary contact is located on the end face of the power supply connector facing the second housing, and the second stationary contact is located on the end face of the power consumption connector facing the second housing. The conductive contact can simultaneously abut against the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact.

[0007] In some optional embodiments, when the power supply connector and the power consumption connector are stacked along the second housing cover direction, there are two first stationary contacts, and the two first stationary contacts are disposed opposite to each other on the hole wall of the first socket to form a clamping structure. When the conductive contact is inserted into the first socket and the second socket, the two first stationary contact pieces clamp the conductive contact to achieve electrical connection.

[0008] In some optional embodiments, a first elastic body is provided between the first stationary contact and the wall of the first socket, and both the wall of the first socket and the first stationary contact are fixedly connected to the first elastic body; wherein, The first elastomer can generate elastic deformation so that the two first stationary contact pieces elastically clamp the conductive contact.

[0009] In some optional embodiments, when the power supply connector and the power consumption connector are stacked along the second housing cover direction, there are two second stationary contacts, and the two second stationary contacts are disposed opposite to each other on the hole wall of the second socket to form a clamping structure. When the conductive contact is inserted into the first socket and the second socket, the two second stationary contact pieces clamp the conductive contact to achieve electrical connection.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, a second elastic body is provided between the second stationary contact and the wall of the second socket, and both the wall of the second socket and the second stationary contact are fixedly connected to the second elastic body; wherein, The second elastomer can generate elastic deformation so that the two second stationary contacts elastically clamp the conductive contact.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the conductive contact and the second housing are integrally molded by injection molding; or, The conductive contact is detachably connected to the second housing.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact are configured as two sets, and the number of conductive contacts is two. When the second housing is placed over the first housing, each conductive contact abuts against the corresponding first and second stationary contacts to form a positive and negative electrode path.

[0013] In some optional embodiments, an auxiliary conductive component is further provided between the power supply connector and the power consumption connector. The auxiliary conductive component includes multiple sets of third stationary contacts and multiple conductive inserts. Each conductive insert is electrically connected to the power consumption component, and the number of conductive inserts is the same as the number of sets of third stationary contacts. The power supply connector has multiple third sockets on the side facing the electrical component. Each set of third stationary contacts is located on the side wall of the third socket and is electrically connected to the power supply component. When the second housing covers the first housing, each conductive insert is inserted into the corresponding third socket and abuts against the third stationary contact to form an auxiliary conductive path. At least one of the following is formed through the auxiliary conductive path: grounding path between the power supply component and the power consumption component, battery status signal path, temperature detection path, and redundant communication channel. The auxiliary conductive path forms a parallel circuit with the main conductive path formed by the first stationary contact, the second stationary contact, and the conductive contact body.

[0014] In some optional embodiments, this application also provides an electronic device, which includes a power supply component, a power consumption component, and a connection structure.

[0015] In the above connection structure, when the cover is removed, the second shell separates from the first shell, and the conductive contact can detach synchronously with the second shell. The power supply path between the power supply component and the power consumption component can be cut off without manual operation, avoiding the risk of leakage due to forgetting to turn off the power and reducing the safety hazards when removing the cover. When the cover is closed, the second shell closes with the first shell, and the power supply path between the power supply component and the power consumption component is automatically connected without additional steps, simplifying the operation process. At the same time, the connector has a simple structure and small size, which can meet the market demand for thinner and lighter electronic devices.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to rearrange, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this application can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] In related technologies, the connection between power supply components and power consumption components often faces the contradiction between maintenance safety and structural simplification: power supply components and power consumption components usually rely on manual plug-in structures or additional mechanical switches to achieve on / off switching. However, plug-in structures and mechanical switches require manual operation after removing the cover, which can easily lead to leakage risks due to forgetting to turn off the power. They may also cause short circuits and burn out the device due to external conductive materials falling in. Moreover, plug-in structures and mechanical switches are usually more complex and larger in size, making it difficult to adapt to the thinner and lighter requirements of electronic devices.

[0024] To solve the above problems, researchers discovered that by spacing the pins of the power supply unit and the power consumption unit and installing conductive inserts on the detachable housing, the conductive inserts can simultaneously press against the pins of both the power supply unit and the power consumption unit after the housing is installed, forming a conductive circuit. After the housing is removed, the spacing between the pins of the power supply unit and the power consumption unit forms an open circuit, thus overcoming the above problems.

[0025] Therefore, combining Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a front view schematic diagram of the connection structure; in some embodiments, the connection structure includes a first housing 11, a second housing 12, and a connector 13. The second housing 12 is detachably covered by the first housing 11, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 form a mounting cavity that can accommodate a power supply component (not shown), a power consumption component (not shown), and the connector 13; the connector 13 includes a power supply connector 131, a power consumption connector 132, and a conductive contact 133. The power supply connector 131 is provided with a first stationary contact 134 electrically connected to the power supply component, and the power consumption connector 132 is provided with a second stationary contact 135 electrically connected to the power consumption component. The first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135... 5. The conductive contact 133 is fixedly connected to the second housing 12 with spacing. Specifically, the conductive contact 133 has a plate-like structure. When the second housing 12 covers the first housing 11, the conductive contact 133 abuts against the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135, so that the spaced-apart first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 are connected. When the second housing 12 is removed from the first housing 11, the conductive contact 133 disengages from the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 along with the second housing 12, so that the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 are disconnected. For example, the power supply unit can be a battery, and the power consumption unit can be a motherboard.

[0026] In the above connection structure, when the cover is removed, the second housing 12 separates from the first housing 11, and the conductive contact 133 can detach synchronously with the second housing 12. The power supply path between the power supply component and the power consumption component can be cut off without manual operation, avoiding the risk of leakage due to forgetting to turn off the power and reducing the safety hazards when removing the cover. When the cover is closed, the second housing 12 closes with the first housing 11, and the power supply path between the power supply component and the power consumption component is automatically connected without additional steps, simplifying the operation process. At the same time, the connector 13 has a simple structure and small size, which can meet the market demand for thinner and lighter electronic devices.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 2This is an exploded structural diagram of the connector and auxiliary conductive components. In some optional embodiments, the power supply connector 131 and the power consumption connector 132 are stacked along the covering direction of the second housing 12. Specifically, the covering direction is the thickness direction of the second housing 12 or the first housing 11. The power supply connector 131 is provided with a first insertion hole 1311, and the power consumption connector 132 is provided with a second insertion hole 1321. The first insertion hole 1311 and the second insertion hole 1321 are directly opposite each other and are both adapted to the conductive contact 133. The cross-sectional shape and size of the two are exactly the same. The first stationary contact piece 134 is provided on the hole wall of the first insertion hole 1311, and the second stationary contact piece 135 is provided on the hole wall of the second insertion hole 1321. The conductive contact 133 can be inserted into the first insertion hole 1311 and the second insertion hole 1321 in sequence and simultaneously contact the first stationary contact piece 134 and the second stationary contact piece 135.

[0028] Thus, by stacking the power supply connector 131 and the power consumption connector 132 along the covering direction of the second housing 12, and making the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321 face each other and both compatible with the conductive contact 133, the conductive contact 133 can be inserted into the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321 in sequence, so that the first stationary contact 134 located in the first socket 1311 and the second stationary contact 135 located in the second socket 1321 form a conductive circuit through the conductive contact 133; the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321 can be limited in the length and width directions of the first housing 11 to avoid the second housing 12 from being blocked. 2. Poor contact caused by misalignment of the cover. The stacked layout can save the planar space of the mounting cavity and is suitable for electronic devices with redundant thickness space and compact planar structure. At the same time, placing the first stationary contact 134 in the first socket 1311 and the second stationary contact 135 in the second socket 1321 can not only realize the storage and protection of the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135, avoiding damage to the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 due to accidental impact of foreign objects during disassembly and maintenance, but also ensure that the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 can be fully isolated to avoid electrical breakdown or electrostatic sparks between them, which would bring safety hazards.

[0029] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, when the power supply connector 131 and the power consumption connector 132 are stacked along the closing direction of the second housing 12, there are two first stationary contact pieces 134. The two first stationary contact pieces 134 are disposed opposite to each other on the hole wall of the first socket 1311 to form a clamping structure. When the conductive contact 133 is inserted into the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321, the two first stationary contact pieces 134 clamp the conductive contact 133 to achieve electrical connection.

[0030] Thus, by setting the two first stationary contact pieces 134 opposite each other to form a clamping structure, the conductive contact 133 is bidirectionally clamped when inserted into the first socket 1311, which increases the contact area and avoids poor contact of the conductive contact 133 due to shaking, thereby improving the overcurrent capacity and ensuring the stability of the circuit.

[0031] In some embodiments, a first elastic body (not shown) is provided between the first stationary contact 134 and the wall of the first socket 1311, and both the wall of the first socket 1311 and the first stationary contact 134 are fixedly connected to the first elastic body; wherein, the first elastic body is capable of elastic deformation, so that the two first stationary contact pieces 134 elastically clamp the conductive contact 133. Exemplarily, the first elastic body can be a rubber sheet.

[0032] In this way, by providing elastic clamping force through the first elastic body, even if the conductive contact 133 has a small dimensional error or wears out after long-term use, it can still ensure stable contact with the first stationary contact 134. At the same time, the first elastic body can also buffer the impact force of the conductive contact 133 during insertion and removal through elastic deformation, avoiding damage to the first stationary contact 134 or the conductive contact 133 due to rigid collision, thereby extending the service life of the connector 13.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the end face of the conductive contact 133 is provided as an arc-shaped surface to facilitate the smooth insertion of the conductive contact 133 into the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the side of the first stationary contact 134 facing the central area of ​​the first socket 1311 is provided with a plurality of first strip grooves (not shown in the figure), the plurality of first strip grooves are spaced apart along the length direction of the first socket 1311, and the plurality of first strip grooves extend along the depth direction of the first socket 1311; the side of the second stationary contact 135 facing the central area of ​​the second socket 1321 is provided with a plurality of second strip grooves (not shown in the figure), the plurality of second strip grooves are spaced apart along the length direction of the second socket 1321, and the plurality of second strip grooves extend along the depth direction of the second socket 1321; the conductive contact 133 is provided with a plurality of limiting strips on opposite sides, the number of first strip grooves and second strip grooves is the same as the number of limiting strips, and the first strip grooves and second strip grooves are adapted to the limiting strips.

[0035] Thus, when the conductive contact 133 is inserted into the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321, each limiting strip on the conductive contact 133 is engaged in the corresponding first and second strip grooves, thereby limiting the conductive contact 133 in the length direction of the first socket 1311 or the second socket 1321, ensuring a stable connection, and also increasing the contact area between the first and second conductive contacts and the conductive contact 133, thereby improving the current carrying capacity of the connector 13.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the first socket 1311 penetrates the power supply connector 131, and the second socket 1321 is a blind hole that does not penetrate the power consumption connector 132. In addition, the conductive contact 133 has a plate-like structure, and the bottom area of ​​the conductive contact 133 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole. At the bottom of the second socket 1321, there is a retaining body (not shown) that matches the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the retaining body includes a base plate, two elastic blocks and two steel balls. The two elastic blocks are spaced apart along the width direction of the second insertion hole 1321, and the steel balls are correspondingly arranged on the inner side of the elastic blocks. When the conductive contact 133 is inserted into the second insertion hole 1321, the two steel balls are located on opposite sides of the conductive contact 133, and a portion of each steel ball is engaged in the engagement hole, thus the retaining body engages with the conductive contact 133.

[0038] It should be noted that when electronic devices are used for a long time, the second housing 12 is prone to bulging. This can cause the conductive contact 133 to not be inserted properly, the contact area between the conductive contact 133 and the second stationary contact 135 to become smaller or to separate. All of these can lead to a decrease in the current carrying capacity of the connector 13 or even an open circuit. Therefore, by using a retaining body to lock the conductive contact 133 in place, the stability of the electrical connection of the connector 13 can be improved, and the risk of bulging and deformation of the second housing 12 can be reduced.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, when the power supply connector 131 and the power consumption connector 132 are stacked along the closing direction of the second housing 12, there are two second stationary contact pieces 135. The two second stationary contact pieces 135 are disposed opposite to each other on the hole wall of the second socket 1321 to form a clamping structure. When the conductive contact 133 is inserted into the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321, the two second stationary contact pieces 135 clamp the conductive contact 133 to achieve electrical connection.

[0040] Thus, by setting the two second stationary contact pieces 135 opposite each other to form a clamping structure, the conductive contact 133 is bidirectionally clamped when inserted into the second socket 1321, which increases the contact area and avoids poor contact of the conductive contact 133 due to shaking, thereby improving the overcurrent capacity and ensuring the stability of the circuit.

[0041] In some embodiments, a second elastic body (not shown) is provided between the second stationary contact 135 and the wall of the second socket 1321, and the wall of the second socket 1321 and the second stationary contact 135 are both fixedly connected to the second elastic body; wherein, the second elastic body can generate elastic deformation so that the two second stationary contact pieces 135 elastically clamp the conductive contact 133.

[0042] In this way, by providing elastic clamping force through the second elastic body, even if the conductive contact 133 has a small dimensional error or wears out after long-term use, it can still ensure stable contact with the second stationary contact 135. At the same time, the second elastic body can also buffer the impact force of the conductive contact 133 during insertion and removal through elastic deformation, avoiding damage to the second stationary contact 135 or the conductive contact 133 due to rigid collision, thereby extending the service life of the connector 13.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the conductive contact 133 and the second housing 12 are integrally molded by injection molding. In this way, the conductive contact 133 and the housing are integrally molded without assembly gaps, preventing dust and moisture from entering the mounting cavity from the connection gaps; at the same time, the connection strength is high and can withstand the impact of frequent opening and closing, making it suitable for equipment with high requirements for sealing and structural strength.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the conductive contact 133 is detachably connected to the second housing 12. This allows the conductive contact 133 to be disassembled independently. When the conductive contact 133 wears or fails, only the conductive contact 133 needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire housing, reducing maintenance costs and making it suitable for equipment with high maintenance convenience requirements. However, in some special cases, such as when the second housing 12 needs frequent disassembly for internal inspection or temporary debugging, the integrated structure of the conductive contact 133 and the second housing 12 would result in a power outage each time the housing is disassembled. This location requires a system restart, which may interrupt ongoing testing or diagnostic processes. For maintenance personnel who need to perform multiple internal inspections while the system is powered on, this repeated power outage and restart may prolong maintenance time and reduce work efficiency. Furthermore, for some fault diagnosis processes that require observing the operation of internal components while the system is powered on, this automatic power-off mechanism may hinder accurate problem localization. Therefore, the structure is designed to be detachable, so that the conductive contact 133 can be removed after the cover is removed and individually plugged into the first socket 1311 and the second socket 1321, so as to provide more convenience for maintenance personnel.

[0045] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 are set as two sets, and the number of conductive contacts 133 is two. When the second housing 12 is covered by the first housing 11, each conductive contact 133 abuts against the corresponding first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135 to form a positive electrode path and a negative electrode path, so as to adapt to the DC power supply scenario and realize a complete power supply circuit.

[0046] In this way, by forming positive and negative paths, it can be directly applied to power supply scenarios that require positive and negative polarity separation, such as batteries and DC power supplies, without the need for additional polarity differentiation structures, thus simplifying the overall circuit layout.

[0047] Combination Figure 2In some embodiments, an auxiliary conductive component 14 is further provided between the power supply connector 131 and the power consumption connector 132. The auxiliary conductive component 14 includes multiple sets of third stationary contacts 141 and multiple conductive inserts 142. Each conductive insert 142 is electrically connected to the power consumption component, and the number of conductive inserts 142 is the same as the number of sets of third stationary contacts 141. The power supply connector 131 has multiple third sockets on the side facing the power consumption component, and each set of third stationary contacts 141 is disposed on the side wall of the third socket. 1. Electrically connected to the power supply component; when the second housing 12 covers the first housing 11, each conductive insert 142 is inserted into the corresponding third socket and abuts against the third stationary contact 141 to form an auxiliary conductive path. At least one of the grounding path, battery status signal path, temperature detection path and redundant communication path between the power supply component and the power consumption component is formed through the auxiliary conductive path; the auxiliary conductive path and the main conductive path formed by the first stationary contact 134, the second stationary contact 135 and the conductive contact 133 form a parallel circuit.

[0048] In this way, non-powered signals such as grounding, battery status detection, temperature monitoring, and redundant communication can be carried through auxiliary conductive paths, avoiding additional wiring and simplifying the internal structure of the connection.

[0049] In some embodiments, there are multiple grounding paths, which enable connection to electrical components through low-impedance paths to optimize the integrity and electromagnetic compatibility of power supply components. At the same time, the multi-point distributed grounding paths can reduce loop noise, suppress common-mode interference, and ensure that the contact impedance is less than 5 milliohms under high current transmission to meet safety specifications.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the power supply connector 131 and the power consumption connector 132 are arranged side by side along the length or width of the first housing 11. The first stationary contact 134 is located on the end face region of the power supply connector 131 facing the second housing 12, and the second stationary contact 135 is located on the end face region of the power consumption connector 132 facing the second housing 12. The conductive contact 133 can simultaneously abut against the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135.

[0051] Thus, by placing the first stationary contact 134 on the end face of the power supply connector 131 facing the second housing 12, and placing the second stationary contact 135 on the cross-section of the power consumption part facing the second housing 12, the conductive contact 133 directly abuts against the first stationary contact 134 and the second stationary contact 135, achieving bridging and conduction. This structure eliminates the need for additional sockets, reducing processing costs and increasing production efficiency. At the same time, the side-by-side design can adapt to electronic devices with limited thickness and redundant planar space.

[0052] In some embodiments, this application also provides an electronic device, which includes a power supply component, a power consumption component, and a connection structure. The power supply component and the power consumption component are connected via the connection structure to enable power-off when the lid is opened and power-on when the lid is closed. For example, the electronic device may be a laptop computer.

[0053] In this way, the connection structure enables "power off when the cover is open and power on when the cover is closed", which directly solves the safety hazards and cumbersome operation problems during the maintenance of electronic devices. At the same time, there is no need to design an additional power off mechanism. Moreover, the structure is simple and small in size, which simplifies the overall design of electronic devices, meets the market demand for thinner and lighter electronic products, and enhances product competitiveness.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
