DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific implementation methods. The drawings are only used for exemplary descriptions, and only show schematic diagrams rather than physical drawings, and cannot be understood as limitations of this patent; it is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0021] The fisheye terminal of the utility model comprises a base 1, a pin portion 2, and two elastic side walls 3 symmetrically arranged between the base 1 and the pin portion 2. The two elastic side walls 3 are arranged opposite to each other and enclose a fisheye hole. A first connecting portion 4 and a second connecting portion 5 are sequentially arranged in the fisheye hole from the base to the pin portion. The first connecting portion 4 and the second connecting portion 5 are disconnected, and the length of the second connecting portion 5 is less than the length of the first connecting portion 4. The first connecting portion 4 is respectively connected to the base 1 and the two elastic side walls 3. One end of the first connecting portion 4 close to the second connecting portion 5 has a first bending portion 6 bent toward the first side. The second connecting portion 5 is respectively connected to the pin portion 2 and the two elastic side walls 3. One end of the second connecting portion 5 close to the first connecting portion 1 has a second bending portion 7 bent toward the second side, and the length of the second bending portion 7 is less than the length of the second bending portion 6. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion play a role in supporting the fisheye hole, solving the problem of easy deformation of the fisheye hole and improving its plugging and unplugging performance; the first bending portion and the second bending portion can guide the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to shrink under force and naturally recover to their original state, so that the two elastic side walls have stable elastic force, which is convenient for inserting into the PCB through hole and fixing.

[0022] The PCB hole is smaller than the width of the terminal. After the terminal is inserted into the PCB through hole, the two elastic side walls are squeezed and deformed by the PCB through hole, shrink inward after deformation, and squeeze the first connection part and the second connection part, so that the first bending part and the second bending part are bent and deformed respectively. After the insertion is completed, the first bending part and the second bending part tend to return to their original state. At this time, two opposite outward forces will be generated to the PCB hole, so that the terminal is better fixed in the PCB hole and provides better holding force. In this way, the terminal is more firm and durable when used in a vibration environment. At the same time, in order to facilitate the relatively easy insertion of the terminal, the length of the second connection part and the second bending part set on the second connection part is reduced, so that the outward force is reduced, which is more convenient for bending and deformation.

[0023] During manufacturing, two opposite grooves are first punched on the front and back sides of the terminal, a common bottom surface is formed between the two grooves, and then two disconnected common bottom surfaces are formed through a transverse opening at a suitable position of the common bottom surface, and then two punches are used to punch in reverse order to obtain the first connection part and the second connection part, and the first connection part and the second connection part are respectively formed with a bending part, and the two bending parts are in opposite directions. The first connection part and the second connection part both include a bending part and a plurality of connected surfaces for connecting the bending part with the elastic side wall, the base, and the pin part.

[0024] In this embodiment, the elastic side wall 3 has an outer side surface 3-1 and an inner side surface 3-2, the outer side surface 3-1 is a rounded straight surface, the rounded straight surface facilitates the contact between the elastic side wall and the PCB, does not scratch the PCB hole, and can appropriately increase the contact area with the PCB hole, thereby improving the stability of the connection; the inner side surface 3-2 is a vertical surface, and the vertical inner side surface is taken into consideration that the material thickness is thin and the vertical side surface is easier to form; the left and right sides of the curved surface of the first bending portion 6 and the second bending portion 7 are connected with an arcuate convex surface 20, and the arcuate convex surface 20 is connected to the inner vertical surface of the elastic side wall through a first arcuate concave surface 8, and the arcuate convex surface and the first arcuate concave surface are close to the base and one end of the pin portion shrink inward, and the left and right sides of the convex surface of the first bending portion 6 and the second bending portion 7 are connected to the inner vertical surface of the elastic side wall through a second arcuate concave surface 9. Here, the first bending portion and the second bending portion have the same structure, and their curved surfaces are composed of a middle arc-shaped concave surface and inclined surfaces on both sides of the middle arc-shaped concave surface, and the outer side of the inclined surface is connected to an arc-shaped convex surface. Among them, the inner vertical surface of the elastic side wall, the first arc-shaped concave surface and the side of the second arc-shaped groove close to the inner vertical surface are all formed by stamping together with the respective grooves when stamping the two grooves. The curved surfaces of the first bending portion and the second bending portion and the arc-shaped convex surfaces on the left and right sides thereof are stamping surfaces, and the side of the second arc-shaped concave surface close to the convex surface and the convex surface are naturally formed after stamping the curved surface of the bending portion.

[0025] Considering that the force during stamping is large and the material has high fluidity, its flow direction and size are not easy to control. In this embodiment, a punch is used to set multiple continuous surfaces at the connection between the first connection part and the base and the connection between the second connection part and the pin part, so as to effectively control the flow direction of the material during stamping, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the size of the two bent parts after stamping. Specifically, the top end of the base 1 and the bottom end of the pin portion 2 are both extended inward to form a third arc-shaped concave surface 10 and a first continuous arc-shaped concave surface 11 located on both sides of the third arc-shaped concave surface 10, the first continuous arc-shaped concave surface 11 is connected inwardly with the first arc-shaped concave surface 8, the third arc-shaped concave surface 10 is extended inwardly to form a first transition surface 12, the first transition surface is an inclined surface, the first continuous arc-shaped concave surface 11 is continuously contracted and extended downward along the first transition surface 12 to form a second continuous transition surface 13, and the two second continuous transition surfaces 13 are intersected and arranged at the second transition surface 14, the curved surfaces of the first bending portion and the second bending portion are respectively connected to the second continuous transition surface 13 and the second transition surface 14; the bottom end of the base 1 and the top end of the pin portion 2 are both extended inwardly to form a first transition surface 12, the first transition surface 13 is continuously contracted and extended downward along the first transition surface 12 to form a second transition surface 13, and the two second continuous transition surfaces 13 are intersected and arranged at the second transition surface 14, and the curved surfaces of the first bending portion and the second bending portion are respectively connected to the second continuous transition surface 13 and the second transition surface 14; A first vertical surface 15 and a first transition concave surface 16 located on both sides of the first vertical surface 15 are extended inside to form a connection between the first vertical surface and the inner side surface of the elastic side wall. The first vertical surface 15 extends inside to form a first continuous curved surface 17. The first continuous curved surface 17 has a third transition surface 18 extending inside and upward. The first transition concave surface 16 extends continuously inside to form a first continuous S-shaped surface 19. The inner end of the first continuous S-shaped surface 19 is connected to the second arc-shaped concave surface 9, and its left and right sides are respectively connected to the inner side surface of the elastic side wall, the third transition surface 18, and the convex surface of the bending portion. The convex surfaces of the first bending portion and the second bending portion are respectively connected to the third transition surface 18 and the first continuous S-shaped surface 19.

[0026] Among them, the third arc-shaped concave surface 10, the first continuous arc-shaped concave surfaces 11 located on both sides of the third arc-shaped concave surface 10, the first vertical surface 15, the first transition concave surfaces 16 located on both sides of the first vertical surface 15, and the first continuous curved surface 17 and the end of the first continuous S-shaped surface 19 away from the convex surface of the bending part are all formed by stamping together with the respective grooves when stamping the two grooves, and belong to the front side wall or the rear side wall of the groove respectively. The first transition surface 12 and the second continuous transition surface 13 are stamping surfaces, which are stamped together with the curved curved surface and the arc-shaped convex surfaces located on the left and right sides of the curved surface along with the shape of the punch. The first continuous curved surface 17 and the end of the first continuous S-shaped surface 19 close to the convex surface of the bending part, and the third transition surface 18, are naturally formed after the opposite surfaces are stamped.

[0027] Furthermore, the positional relationship between the first connection part and the second connection part is as follows. The crimped fisheye terminal is divided into a strength support area, a retention area, an introduction area, and a pre-insertion area from the base 1 to the pin part 2. The outer distance of the two elastic side walls 3 located in the strength support area gradually increases, the outer distance of the two elastic side walls located in the retention area first increases and then gradually decreases, and the outer distance of the two elastic side walls located in the introduction area gradually decreases; one end of the first connection part 4 is located in the strength support area, and the other end is located in the retention area.

However, the implementation modes of the utility model are not limited to the specific details in the above implementation modes. Within the technical concept of the implementation modes of the utility model, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the implementation modes of the utility model. These simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the implementation modes of the utility model.
