It is widely used in communication networks, office equipment, smart home appliances, medical equipment, power systems, industrial manufacturing and other industries.

[0003] In the prior art, a board-to-board connector includes a male connector and a female connector. Since the male connector and the female connector do not have a locking structure after being connected in the vertical direction, an additional clamping structure is required to ensure reliable connection between the male and female connectors.

[0004] At present, the components that need to be installed in smart devices (such as rear camera modules, display modules, and battery modules, etc.) all need to be connected to the circuit board with the help of a board-to-board connector. A clamping structure consisting of a clamping steel sheet and at least two screws is often used to complete the reliable connection of the board-to-board connector. However, this structure requires the assistance of screwdrivers and other parts for auxiliary installation, and the installation speed is low.

Therefore, the following description should be understood as being widely known to those skilled in the art and not as a limitation to the present invention.

[0042] The present invention is described in more detail in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in very simplified form and in non-precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a board-to-board connector, including a connecting female socket 1, a connecting male socket 2 and a limiting member 3.

[0045] The male connection socket 2 is plugged into the female connection socket 1 along a first direction.

[0046] The limiting member 3 is slidably mounted inside the female connection seat 1, and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the male connection seat 2, and one end of the limiting member 3 can be plugged into the end of the male connection seat 2. That is, two limiting members 3 are provided, and can move in a direction approaching each other (that is, move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction) to plug into the two ends of the male connection seat 2, so as to limit the male connection seat 2.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first direction is Figure 1 The Z-axis direction is shown in the figure, and the second direction is Figure 1 The X-axis direction is shown in .

[0048] It should be noted that the limiting member 3 has a first state and a second state, that is, when the limiting member 3 is in the first state, it can move inside the connecting socket 1, and when the limiting member 3 is in the second state, it can self-lock and remain fixed.

[0049] Specifically, when the limiting member 3 is in the first state, the limiting member 3 is separated from the connecting male seat 2, that is, the connecting male seat 2 is not limited, so at this time the connecting male seat 2 can be installed on the connecting female seat 1 in the first direction or removed from the connecting female seat 1.

[0050] When the limiting member 3 is in the second state, the limiting member 3 is plugged into the end of the connecting male socket 2. At this time, the limiting member 3 limits the connecting male socket 2, so that the connecting male socket 2 cannot be separated from the connecting female socket 1 along the first direction, and because the connecting male socket 2 is plugged into the connecting female socket 1, the connecting male socket 2 can be completely limited, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting male socket 2 and the connecting female socket 1.

[0051] In addition, during the above-mentioned connection process, it is only necessary to control the limit member 3 to switch from the first state to the second state in order to improve the stability of the connection between the male connector 2 and the female connector 1. Therefore, compared with the prior art method of adding clamping steel sheets and screws, the assembly rate can be effectively improved, that is, the purpose of improving the connection stability between the male connector 2 and the female connector 1 can be achieved while also improving the assembly rate.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the shape of the female connection socket 1 is also limited so that the limiting member 3 can better insert and limit the male connection socket 2.

[0053] Specifically, a mounting groove for mounting the connecting male socket 2 is provided in the middle of the connecting female socket 1 .

[0054] Both ends of the connecting female seat 1 are provided with sliding grooves for installing the limiting member 3 , and the sliding grooves are communicated with the installing grooves, so that the limiting member 3 can slide to be plugged with the end of the connecting male seat 2 .

[0055] In addition, in other embodiments, in order to enable the limiting member 3 to quickly switch between the second state and the first state, a clamping block 4 is further provided on the inner wall of the slide groove, and a clamping groove 5 matching the clamping block 4 is provided on the outer wall of the limiting member 3 .

[0056] When the clamping slot 5 is separated from the clamping block 4 , the limiting member 3 is in the first state.

[0057] When the locking slot 5 is engaged with the locking block 4 , the limiting member 3 is in the second state.

[0058] That is, the switching of the state of the limit member 3 is completed by whether the locking slot 5 is engaged with the locking block 4, that is, the operator only needs to control the movement of the limit member 3, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of switching the limit member 3 between the second state and the first state.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure that the locking groove 5 can smoothly engage with and separate from the locking block 4 during the sliding process of the limiting member 3 and that the limiting member 3 will not get stuck during the movement, the limiting member 3 is further limited herein.

[0060] Specifically, the limiting member 3 includes a sliding sheet 31 .

[0061] The card slots 5 are arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the sliding sheet 31 .

[0062] In addition, a deformation cavity 311 is provided in the middle of one end of the sliding sheet 31 that is plugged into the end of the connecting male socket 2 .

[0063] Therefore, when the sliding piece 31 moves toward the connecting male seat 2 (that is, when it moves along the second direction), the outer walls on both sides of the sliding piece 31 are squeezed by the block 4 and can move closer along the center line direction of the deformation cavity 311 until the slot 5 is engaged with the block 4 to complete the reset, that is, the limit member 3 is moved from the first state to the second state.

[0064] Correspondingly, when the sliding piece 31 moves in the direction away from the connecting male seat 2, the outer walls on both sides of the sliding piece 31 are squeezed by the block 4 and can move closer along the center line direction of the deformation cavity 311 until the sliding piece 31 is completely separated from the block 4 and reset, thereby realizing the switching of the limit member 3 from the second state to the first state.

[0065] Please continue reading Figure 4 In this embodiment, the sliding sheet 31 is further limited to further prevent the sliding sheet 31 and the block 4 from getting stuck.

[0066] Specifically, one end of the sliding piece 31 facing the connecting male seat 2 is set to a trapezoidal structure, and the outer diameter increases gradually from the direction away from the connecting male seat 2, that is, when the sliding piece 31 is docked with the block 4, the end of the sliding piece 31 with a smaller outer diameter first contacts the block 4, and then deforms under the extrusion of the block 4, that is, the outer diameter compensation required for the deformation when the sliding piece 31 is docked with the block 4 (similar to the socket in the prior art) can be reserved to prevent the end of the sliding piece 31 from directly colliding with the block 4 and failing to deform.

[0067] In addition, the card block 4 is configured as a V-shaped structure, and the end in contact with the sliding sheet 31 has an arc-shaped chamfer, which reduces the friction between the sliding sheet 31 and extends the service life of the device. Since it is configured as a V-shape, the corresponding card slot 5 is also configured as a V-shaped structure. When the sliding sheet 31 is subsequently manually pulled and moved, the sliding sheet 31 can be quickly deformed due to the influence of the inclined surface, that is, it can quickly switch between the first state and the second state.

[0068] In other embodiments, in order to facilitate the movement of the sliding sheet 31 , the limiting member 3 further includes a toggle sheet 32 ​​.

[0069] The toggle piece 32 is disposed on an upper surface of an end of the sliding piece 31 away from the connecting male socket 2 , and the toggle piece 32 can be exposed to the outside of the connecting female socket 1 in a first direction.

[0070] It should be noted that the shifting piece 32 and the sliding piece 31 are integrally formed and made of stainless steel.

[0071] Embodiment 2

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, on the other hand, the utility model further proposes a smart device, including the board-to-board connector and the smart device and the camera module 6 described in the first embodiment.

[0073] Wherein, the camera module 6 is connected to the connecting socket 2 .

[0074] In addition, the smart device further includes a PCB board 7 , the connecting socket 1 is arranged on the PCB board 7 , and the PCB board 7 has a notch for installing the camera module 6 .

[0075] Through the above arrangement, when assembling the camera module 6 of the smart device, the difficulty of installation can be reduced, that is, the assembly can be completed without the aid of any equipment.

[0076] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
