Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a connector module, which is fixed to a circuit board without welding means and can stably maintain a connector component at a current assembly position through elements such as elastic embedded cards and control positioning pieces. Background Art

[0002] Connector refers to all connection elements and their accessories used in electronic signal and power transmission. Its main function is to establish and maintain connections between circuits. It is not only responsible for transmitting power, but also covers data transmission. It is an important component in any modern electronic system. From mobile phones, computers to large industrial machinery and equipment, all rely on connectors to complete their basic functions.

[0003] However, despite their critical functionality, connectors are still one of the most vulnerable components in electronic devices. Generally speaking, connectors are usually fixed to circuit boards by welding. "Welding" provides a stable and durable connection for the connector, ensuring the reliability and performance of the electronic device. However, this method also brings significant disadvantages. Specifically, when a connector fails due to long-term use, physical damage or other reasons, it becomes extremely difficult to replace because it is welded to the circuit board. In most cases, professional equipment and technical knowledge are often required for disassembly and re-welding in order to install a new connector. For consumers, this usually means that the entire electronic device must be sent back to the manufacturer or a professional repair center for repair, which not only increases the complexity of the repair, but also increases the money and time cost of the repair, and causes trouble in using the electronic device.

[0004] In addition, the practice of soldering connectors also poses a challenge to the environment. When a connector is damaged, it is difficult to replace it, and in many cases the entire circuit board or even the entire device will be discarded, which puts great pressure on the environment. In today's society, with the increasing awareness of sustainable development and environmental protection, this practice is no longer in line with environmental protection requirements. Therefore, the industry has begun to explore more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to solve the problems of connector use and maintenance, which can promote the entire electronics manufacturing industry to develop in a more environmentally friendly and efficient direction. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems of connector use and maintenance and to stand out in the fiercely competitive market, the inventor has developed a connector component that can be freely replaced by users.

In this embodiment, the sliding space 337 and the elastic positioning space 339 will expose the bottom surface of the mounting shell 33, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the utility model, the bottom surface of the mounting shell 33 can be closed, rather than as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The open shape shown makes the sliding space 337 and the elastic positioning space 339 located inside the mounting housing 33, and will not be exposed to the outside of the bottom surface of the mounting housing 33. In other words, whether the sliding space 337 and the elastic positioning space 339 are exposed to the outside or not, as long as they are recessed toward the inside of the mounting housing 33 and are used to accommodate the components mentioned later and achieve the effects, they belong to the sliding space 337 and the elastic positioning space 339 referred to in the present invention.

[0073] Also, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, when the connector body 31 is assembled to the second housing space 330, the first opening 3111 will be opposite to the second opening 331, and the two will be connected and form a pair of interfaces 32 (such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 The rear ends of the metal terminals 3151 can expose the plug interface 333 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown). However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the specific form and structure of the connector component 3 can be adjusted according to the actual communication protocol, application program interface (API) or transmission requirements of the product, and is not limited to the specific structure mentioned in the previous section and the form drawn in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, as long as the front side of the connector component 3 is provided with at least one pair of interfaces 32, the rear side of the connector component 3 is provided with a plug interface 333 and at least one guide recess 335, the connector component 3 is provided with multiple rows of metal terminal groups 315, and the metal terminals 3151 in these metal terminal groups 315 can expose the docking interface 32 and the plug interface 333 at their front and rear ends respectively, and the connector component 3 also has the sliding space 337 and the elastic positioning space 339, it is the connector component 3 referred to in the present invention.

[0074] In addition, please refer to Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic embedded member 4 has a fixed end 41 and a free end 42, wherein the fixed end 41 is U-shaped and can be fixed to the mounting housing 33, and the free end 42 can swing freely and reciprocate between the sliding space 337 and the corresponding elastic positioning space 339. Specifically, the free end 42 can be in the area of ​​the sliding space 337 (such as Figure 7 After being pushed by an external force, the free end 42 can move to the elastic positioning space 339 and enter the connected guide recess 335. In this embodiment, the free end 42 is L-shaped, but not limited thereto.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the control positioning member 5 is arranged in the sliding space 337 and can reciprocate forward and backward in the sliding space 337. In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the control positioning member 5 are respectively provided with a first limiting portion 51, and the mounting housing 33 is provided with a second limiting portion 332 relative to the position of the first limiting portion 51. When the control positioning member 5 is in a release position (such as Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the first limiting portion 51 is blocked by the corresponding second limiting portion 332, so that the control positioning member 5 cannot move forward (i.e., cannot move toward the outside of the device housing 11), thereby preventing the control positioning member 5 from being separated from the mounting housing 33. Furthermore, when the control positioning member 5 is in the released position, a partial area thereof (a range extending a certain distance from the front side to the rear) can be exposed (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 8 As shown), and the free end 42 of the elastic embedded card 4 can be in the sliding space 337, then, refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, when the control positioning member 5 moves from the release position to the locking position (moving from front to back), the rear side of the control positioning member 5 will push against the free end 42 of the elastic embedded card member 4, so that the free end 42 of the elastic embedded card member 4 gradually moves from the sliding space 337 to the elastic positioning space 339, and finally moves to the guiding recess 335. In this embodiment, the rear side edge of the control positioning member 5 is arc-shaped, so that the process of the control positioning member 5 pushing against the elastic embedded card member 4 is smoother, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, when the user wants to insert the connector assembly 3 into the device body 1, the control positioning member 5 can be in the release position (such as Figure 7As shown in the figure, the rear side of the connector component 3 can be inserted into the mounting hole 112. When the insertion position is not completely correct, the guide protrusion 2 (such as the column 21) will abut against the rear side of the connector component 3 (or the mounting housing 33), so the user can adjust the position of the connector component 3 by feel until the guide protrusion 2 is inserted into the corresponding guide recess 335 (hole). The guide protrusion 2 can guide the position of the connector component 3 so that the position of the plug interface 333 of the connector component 3 is correctly aligned with the side edge of the circuit board 13 until the circuit board 13 The side edge is embedded in the plug port 333, and each of the metal terminals 3151 can abut against the corresponding metal connecting piece 131, and then be clamped between these metal terminal groups 315 in a non-welding manner. In this way, when the connector assembly 3 is damaged or does not meet the use requirements and needs to be replaced, the user does not need to send the electronic device E back to the manufacturer for repair, nor does he need to prepare welding tools (such as: welding machine, needle-nosed pliers, solder, etc.) or have practical welding experience. The connector assembly 3 can be pulled out from the device body 1 and another connector assembly 3 can be replaced and inserted into the device body 1. In addition, in this embodiment, the area of ​​the circuit board 13 corresponding to the connector assembly 3 can also be recessed to form a receiving space 130, so that the circuit board 13 has more design space, and the area of ​​the circuit board 13 close to the receiving space 130 can also have a limiting and auxiliary guiding effect, so that when the connector assembly 3 is inserted crookedly, it can be blocked by the area of ​​the circuit board 13 close to the receiving space 130.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, when the connector assembly 3 has clamped the circuit board 13, the positioning groove 20 of the guide protrusion 2 will correspond to the elastic positioning space 339. After that, the user can push the control positioning member 5 to gradually move the control positioning member 5 from the release position to the locking position. During the above process, the free end 42 of the elastic embedded card 4 will gradually move from the sliding space 337 to the elastic positioning space 339, and extend into the guide recessed portion 335 connected to the elastic positioning space 339, and then can extend into the positioning groove 20 at the above position. In this way, the guide protrusion 2 will be restricted and blocked by the free end 42 of the elastic embedded card 4 and cannot be separated from the connector assembly 3. In addition, when the user wants to remove the connector assembly 3, as long as the control positioning member 5 is pulled from the locking position to the release position, the free end 42 of the elastic embedded card 4 will be separated from the positioning groove 20, so that the guide protrusion 2 can be separated from the guide recessed portion 335.

[0078] In addition, please refer to Figures 1 to 10As shown, in order to keep the appearance of the electronic device E neat, when the connector component 3 is assembled to the mounting hole 112, the front surface of the connector component 3 will not substantially exceed the surface of the device housing 11. However, in order to facilitate the user to pull out the control positioning member 5 more easily, the side surface of the device housing 11 used to assemble the connector component 3 is provided with at least one recessed portion 114 facing inward, and the control positioning member 5 is provided with a through hole 50 in the area near the front side. When the connector component 3 is assembled to the mounting hole 112, at least one side of the connector component 3 adjacent to its front side (such as Figure 6 The bottom side of the connector assembly 3 is partially exposed through the recessed portion 114, so that the user's finger can pass through the recessed portion 114 to abut against the control positioning member 5 and can be inserted into the through hole 50 to pull the control positioning member 5. It is particularly noted that in order to keep the appearance of the electronic device E neat, the front surface of the connector assembly 3 does not exceed the range of the surface of the device housing 11 and does not include the area of ​​the recessed portion 114. In other words, Figure 1 or Figure 6 The presented forms all fall within the scope of what is referred to in the present utility model as “the front surface of the connector assembly 3 does not substantially extend beyond the surface of the device housing 11 ”.
