[0026] The adapter 100 of this embodiment includes an adapter body 130 , on which a first connector 110 and a second connector 120 are disposed to respectively connect to a first connection object (not shown) and a second connection object (not shown).
[0027] The first connection object and the second connection object are external connection objects of the adapter 100, and the first connection object and the second connection object are connected through the adapter 100. Among them, the volume of the second connection object can be smaller than the first connection object. In a specific application scenario, the first connection object can be a smart mobile terminal, and the second connection object can be a storage device, so that the smart mobile terminal and the storage device are connected through the adapter 100 to provide the smart mobile terminal with an external memory. In a specific application scenario, the first connection object can be a camera, and the second connection object can be a flashlight, so that the camera and the flashlight are connected through the adapter 100 to provide the camera with a flashlight function. In a specific application scenario, the first connection object can be a computer host, and the second connection object can be a storage device or a speaker, so that the computer host and the storage device or the speaker are connected through the adapter 100 to provide the computer host with an external memory or a sound function. The specific types of the first connection object and the second connection object are not limited here. In other embodiments, the volume of the second connection object can also be equal to or greater than the first connection object, which is specifically set based on actual conditions.
[0028] Among them, at least one fixing member 140 is disposed on the adapter body 130 to fix the second connection object with a smaller volume through each fixing member 140, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire topological structure after the adapter 100 is connected to the first connection object 110 and the second connection object 120.
[0029] The number of the fixing members 140 may be one or more, and may be specifically set based on actual needs.
[0030] In a specific application scenario, the fixing forms of the fixing member 140 may include but are not limited to mortise and tenon fixing, thread fixing, magnetic fixing or adhesive fixing, etc.
[0031] Through the above structure, the adapter of this embodiment includes an adapter body, on which a first connector and a second connector are provided to respectively connect a first connection object and a second connection object, and the volume of the second connection object is smaller than that of the first connection object; wherein, at least one fixing member is provided on the adapter body to fix the small-volume second connection object, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire topological structure after the adapter is connected to the first connection object and the second connection object, and reducing the occurrence of loosening of the second connection object after the adapter is connected to the first connection object and the second connection object.
[0032] In some embodiments, the fixing member 140 includes a tenon groove, which is disposed on opposite sides of the adapter body 130, and a tenon is correspondingly disposed on the second connection object. When the second connection object is connected to the second connector 120, the tenons on the opposite sides of the adapter body 130 are correspondingly engaged with the tenons on the second connection object, so that the second connection object is fixed by a connection method combining concave and convex parts, so as to improve the structural stability between the second connection object and the adapter 100.
[0033] In some embodiments, the adapter body 130 further includes a housing 150 and a circuit board 160 ; the housing 150 is used to support the entire adapter body 130 , and the circuit board 160 is a main control board of the adapter 100 .
[0034] An accommodating cavity (not marked in the figure) is formed in the housing 150, and the circuit board 160 is built in the accommodating cavity; one end of the first connector 110 is connected to the circuit board 160 in the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the first connector 110 passes through the target surface 170 of the housing 150 until it is exposed to the outside, so as to be connected to the first connection object; one end of the second connector 120 is connected to the circuit board 160 in the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the second connector 120 passes through the target surface 170 of the housing 150 until it is exposed to the outside, so as to be connected to the first connection object, and the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are arranged at intervals and do not interfere with each other; the fixing member 140 is arranged on the housing 150. The specific position where the fixing member 140 is arranged on the housing 150 can be set accordingly based on the specific type of the fixing member 140.
[0035] The housing 150 includes a housing box 151 and a cover plate 152 . The cover plate 152 is fixedly disposed with the box opening of the housing box 151 , thereby forming the housing 150 with an accommodating cavity therein.
[0036] The target surface 170 is a surface of the adapter 100 close to the first connection object and the second connection object. When the adapter 100 is connected to the first connector 110 to connect to the first connection object and the second connector 120 to connect to the second connection object, the first connection object and the second connection object are both in contact with the target surface 170. At this time, the first connection object, the first connector 110, the circuit board 160, the second connector 120 and the second connection object are connected in sequence.
[0037] In some embodiments, a first through hole 111 and a second through hole 121 are provided on the target surface of the housing 150. The first connector 110 penetrates the first through hole 111 to connect with the first connection object, and the second connector 120 penetrates the second through hole 121 to connect with the second connection object; the inner wall of the first through hole 111 contacts the first connector 110, and the inner wall of the second through hole 121 contacts the second connector 120, that is, the size of the first through hole 111 matches the size of the first connector 110. The size of the second through hole 121 matches the size of the second connector 120.
[0038] In some embodiments, the first through hole 111 is provided with protrusions 112 around the edges of the side away from the circuit board 160 to match the first connection object. Since the first connection object is often an intelligent electronic device from other manufacturers, its size may be fine-tuned accordingly due to the usage scenario of the intelligent electronic device, which may cause it to not match the standard size of the first connector 110. Therefore, this embodiment compensates for this mismatch by providing protrusions 112, so that the first connector 110 can use the protrusions 112 to match the first connection object, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the connection.
[0039] If the second connection object also has the above problem, corresponding protrusions may be provided on the edges around the second through hole 121 on the side away from the circuit board 160 , and the specific setting is based on actual needs.
[0040] In some embodiments, the first connection object is a smart mobile terminal, and the second connection object is a storage device. This embodiment can be applied to scenarios where a user of a smart mobile terminal wants to store data in an external storage device when shooting, and wants to add microphone reception or adapter charging functions when recording.
[0041] The first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The types of the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are: HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connector, Type-C female connector, Type-C male connector or DP (DisplayPort) connector. The specific types of the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are set based on actual needs.
