[0038] The present application provides a connection assembly and a connector, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector generally includes a female connector and a male connector, and the female connector includes a female signal terminal 4 (see the reference numerals). Figure 3), a plastic encapsulation support member plastic-encapsulated on the periphery of the female signal terminal 4, and a first shielding plate 100 and a second shielding plate 200 arranged on opposite sides of the plastic encapsulation support member, wherein the first shielding plate 100, the second shielding plate 200, the female signal terminal 4 and the plastic encapsulation support member together form a signal transmission module, and the first shielding plate 100 and the second shielding plate 200 are used to ground and isolate the female signal terminals 4 in two adjacent signal transmission modules to prevent signal crosstalk between the female signal terminals 4 in two adjacent signal transmission modules. The male connector includes a base and a male signal terminal 3 arranged in the base and docked with the female signal terminal 4.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The connection assembly provided in the present application is used to connect the male connector and the female connector in the connector. The connection assembly includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first connector 1 is provided with a first through slot 11 extending along a first direction X. The second connector 2 is provided with a second through slot 21 extending along the first direction X. The second through slot 21 is arranged facing the first through slot 11, and the concave direction of the second through slot 21 is opposite to the concave direction of the first through slot 11. In some embodiments, the above connection assembly is used to connect the male signal terminal 3 in the male connector of the connector and the female signal terminal 4 in the female connector.

[0041] In specific use, the first connector 1 is fixed on the first shielding plate 100 by plastic sealing, and the second connector 2 is fixed on the second shielding plate 200 by plastic sealing. The first through slot 11 on the first connector 1 is used to accommodate the male signal terminal 3, and the second through slot 21 on the second connector 2 is used to accommodate the female signal terminal 4, wherein the first through slot 11 and the second through slot 21 respectively penetrate the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 along the first direction X. Thus, the CCD camera can clearly observe the female signal terminal 4 exposed in the second through slot 21 along the first direction X. That is, by using the above-mentioned connection assembly, the CCD camera can be directly used for detection, and the female signal terminal 4 can be detected. For example, the appearance size of the female signal terminal 4 can be quickly determined.

[0042] It should be noted that in order to clearly show how the connection component realizes the connection between the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4, the above Figure 1 In the figure, only the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4 are shown between the first connector 1 on the left and the second connector 2 matched therewith, while the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4 are not shown between the other three first connectors 1 and the second connectors 2 arranged opposite to each other. Figure 3The same is true in that the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4 are only displayed between the first connector 1 at the top and the second connector 2 matched therewith, while the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4 are not displayed between the other three relatively arranged first connectors 1 and second connectors 2.

[0043] For example, the first through groove 11 is a groove with high sides and low center. The first through groove 11 is provided on the first connecting member 1 and is recessed toward the bottom of the first connecting member 1, while penetrating the front wall and the rear wall of the first connecting member 1. Similarly, the second through groove 21 is a groove with high sides and low center. The second through groove 21 is provided on the second connecting member 2 and is recessed toward the top of the second connecting member 1, that is, the recessed direction of the second through groove 21 is opposite to that of the first through groove 11.

[0044] Generally, the male signal terminals 3 are provided in pairs. Therefore, a blocking portion 12 extending along the first direction X is provided in the first through slot 11. The blocking portion 12 separates the first through slot 11 into two first sub-through slots 111. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown. Each first sub-through groove 111 is used to accommodate one male signal terminal 3 in the male signal terminal pair, so as to guide and install the two male signal terminals 3 in the male signal terminal pair respectively. Therefore, the first sub-through groove 111 can guide the insertion of the head of the male signal terminal 3 during the insertion process of the male signal terminal 3, provide stability during the insertion process of the male signal terminal 3, and help increase the insertion efficiency and success rate of the male signal terminal 3, and reduce the probability of deformation of the male signal terminal 3 during insertion.

[0045] Similarly, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second through slot 21 is provided with a barrier portion 22 extending along the first direction X, and the barrier portion 22 separates the second through slot 21 into two second sub-through slots 211, so as to guide and install the two female signal terminals 4 in the female signal terminal pair respectively. Thus, the second sub-through slots 211 can guide the head of the female signal terminal 4 during the insertion process of the female signal terminal 4, provide stability during the insertion process of the female signal terminal 4, and help increase the insertion efficiency and success rate of the female signal terminal 4, and reduce the probability of deformation of the female signal terminal 4 during insertion.

[0046] The blocking portion 12 and the first sub-slot 111 have the same length in the first direction X, that is, the first slot 11 is completely blocked and separated by the blocking portion 12 in the first direction X. The barrier portion 22 and the blocking portion 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and in horizontal projection, at least part of the barrier portion 22 and the blocking portion 12 overlap. In specific applications, according to the actual use scenario, the length of the barrier portion 22 and the second sub-slot 211 can be set to be equal or unequal, and the present application does not make specific restrictions on this. For example, the blocking portion 12 and the barrier portion 22 are both long strip structures.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The first sub-slot 111 is used for inserting the male signal terminal 3. In the second direction Y, the width D1 of the male signal terminal 3 is greater than the width D2 of the second sub-slot 211. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and is located in the same plane as the first direction X, ensuring that even if the position of the female signal terminal 4 is offset, it can still be in stable contact with the male signal terminal 3.

[0048] Based on the above embodiment, the width D1 of the male signal terminal 3 satisfies: D2<D1<2*D2, which ensures that the female signal terminal 4 and the male signal terminal 3 can be stably contacted, while ensuring that the structures of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are relatively compact.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The above-mentioned first sub-slot 111 is used for inserting the male signal terminal 3. Along the insertion direction of the male signal terminal 3, the first sub-slot 111 has a tapered section 1111 with a gradually decreasing width and / or height. The size of the first sub-slot 111 in the second direction Y is the height of the first sub-slot 111. The size of the first sub-slot 111 in the third direction Z is the height of the first sub-slot 111. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the second direction Y and perpendicular to the first direction X, so as to better guide the insertion of the male signal terminal 3.

[0050] By way of example, the tapered section 1111 is roughly in a conical structure, and the two opposite side walls of the tapered section 1111 are asymmetrically distributed relative to the central axis of the first sub-slot 111 to save the layout space of the first connector 1. The thickness of the bottom wall of the tapered section 1111 located between the two opposite side walls gradually becomes thicker along the insertion direction of the male signal terminal 3. Among them, along the insertion direction of the male signal terminal 3, the first sub-slot 111 also includes a columnar section 1112 close to the large-mouth end of the tapered section 1111. In the columnar section 1112, the height and width of the first sub-slot 111 are equal everywhere. By way of example, Figure 7As shown, the angle α between the left side wall of the two opposite side walls of the above-mentioned tapered section 1111 and the central axis of the first sub-through groove 111, and the angle β between the right side wall of the two opposite side walls of the above-mentioned tapered section 1111 and the central axis of the first sub-through groove 111 are both no more than 40°, and the angle α between the left side wall of the two opposite side walls of the above-mentioned tapered section 1111 and the central axis of the first sub-through groove 111, and the angle β between the right side wall of the two opposite side walls of the above-mentioned tapered section 1111 and the central axis of the first sub-through groove 111 are not equal.

[0051] Of course, if there is enough installation space, the angle α between the left side wall of the two opposite side walls of the tapered section 1111 and the central axis of the first sub-groove 111, and the angle β between the right side wall of the two opposite side walls of the tapered section 1111 and the central axis of the first sub-groove 111 may also be equal, that is, the two opposite side walls of the tapered section 1111 are symmetrically distributed relative to the central axis of the first sub-groove 111, and the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0052] In addition, in order to facilitate observation of the male signal terminal 3 located in the first connector 1 and the female signal terminal 4 located in the second connector 2, a first observation port 13 is provided on the first connector 1, and the first observation port 13 is connected to the first through groove 11, and a second observation port 23 is provided on the second connector 2, and the second observation port 23 is connected to the second through groove 21.

[0053] For example, the first observation port 13 is disposed at the front end of the first through slot 11 and penetrates the first connector 1 along the third direction Z. In the insertion direction of the male signal terminal 3, the end of the first through slot 11 that first contacts the male signal terminal 3 is the front end of the first through slot 11. In horizontal projection, the first observation port 13 is U-shaped. In addition, the second observation port 23 is a square through hole and penetrates the second connector 2 along the third direction Z.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , a step 24 is provided on the wall surface of the second connector 2 facing away from the first connector 1. That is, a step 24 is provided on the top wall surface of the second connector 2, which is in a step shape, thereby facilitating the improvement of the structural strength of the second connector 2. In other words, the top wall surface of the second connector 2 is not a horizontal plane, and along the insertion direction of the male signal terminal 3, the top wall surface of the second connector 2 has different heights relative to the same horizontal plane.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple first connectors 1, and the multiple first connectors 1 are of an integrated structure, and there are multiple second connectors 2, and the multiple second connectors 2 are of an integrated structure. In specific use, the number of first connectors 1 can be reasonably set according to the number of male signal terminals 3. Similarly, the number of second connectors 2 can be reasonably set according to the number of female signal terminals 4. It can be understood that the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 with an integrated structure are easy to install and manufacture. In addition, the above-mentioned first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are both injection molded parts, and both are respectively injection-molded and fixed on the two shielding plates on both sides of the signal terminal in the connector to achieve a fixed connection with their respective corresponding shielding plates.

[0056] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the present application has 4 first connectors 1 and 4 second connectors 2, which is only an example. The present application does not specifically limit the number of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, and the number of the two can be reasonably designed according to actual usage, and it is only necessary to ensure that the number of the two is equal.

[0057] On the other hand, the present application also provides a connector, which includes a male signal terminal 3, a female signal terminal 4, and the above-mentioned connecting component, wherein the first through groove 11 is used to accommodate the male signal terminal 3, and the second through groove 21 is used to accommodate the female signal terminal 4.

[0058] In specific use, the first connector 1 is fixed on the first shielding plate 100 by plastic sealing, and the second connector 2 is fixed on the second shielding plate 200 by plastic sealing. Therefore, during the assembly process of the connector, the CCD camera can clearly observe the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4 exposed in the first through slot 11 and the second through slot 21 along the first direction X. That is, by using the above-mentioned connection assembly, the CCD can be directly used for detection to quickly determine the appearance dimensions of the male signal terminal 3 and the female signal terminal 4.

[0059] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0060] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
