[0045] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a connector 100 is proposed, comprising: a shell portion 110, having a first connection side 101 and a second connection side 102 adjacent to each other, the first connection side 101 being provided with a mounting opening 103; a conductor portion 120, comprising a first conductor segment 121 and a second conductor segment 122 connected to each other, at least part of the first conductor segment 121 being located in the shell portion 110, the first conductor segment 121 being provided with a slot 104, the slot 104a of the slot 104 being arranged corresponding to the mounting opening 103, the second conductor segment 122 being passed through the second connection side 102, the slot 104 being used to plug in the first circuit board 300, and the second conductor segment 122 being used to connect to the second circuit board 400; wherein, along the direction from the slot 104a of the slot 104 to the slot bottom 104b of the slot 104, the distance from the slot 104 to the second connection side 102 increases.

[0047] The connector 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing portion 110 and a conductor portion 120, wherein the conductor portion 120 includes a first conductor segment 121 and a second conductor segment 122, and the first conductor segment 121 is connected to the second conductor segment 122, so that in practical applications, electrical signals can be transmitted between the first conductor segment 121 and the second conductor segment 122; at least part of the aforementioned first conductor segment 121 is arranged in the housing portion 110, and the slot 104a of the first conductor segment 121 is arranged corresponding to the installation opening 103 of the first connection side 101 of the housing portion 110, so that the housing portion 110 can provide structural protection for the first conductor portion 120, and can facilitate the aforementioned slot 104 is docked with the external structure, which is beneficial to improving the structural reliability and safety of the connector 100. The aforementioned second conductor segment 122 is penetrated through the second connection side 102 of the shell portion 110. In actual applications, the aforementioned slot 104 and the aforementioned second conductor segment 122 are respectively used to connect the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400 of the display module to establish an electrical connection relationship between the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400; the aforementioned first connection side 101 and the second connection side 102 are adjacent sides of the shell portion 110, so that after the display module is assembled, the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400 can be adjacent to each other, which is beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the display module.

[0048] When the first circuit board 300 is inserted into the slot 104, the extension direction of the first circuit board 300 can be constrained. Thus, the connector 100 provided by the present disclosure can increase the distance between the slot 104 and the second connection side 102 by setting a distance increase between the slot 104 and the second connection side 102 along the direction from the slot 104a of the slot 104 to the slot bottom 104b of the slot 104. This can make the distance from the portion of the first circuit board 300 in the slot 104 close to the slot bottom 104b to the second connection side 102 correspondingly greater than the distance from the portion of the first circuit board 300 at the slot 104a to the second connection side 102. This can make the first circuit board 300, when inserted into the slot 104, relatively close to the second connection side 102. 02 is inclined, and can extend along the direction from the groove bottom 104b to the groove opening 104a toward the second connection side 102, so that the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the groove opening 104a can be extended toward the second connection side 102, and further, when the first circuit board 300 is subjected to external force, it can avoid that the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the groove opening 104a is significantly warped in the direction away from the second connection side 102, and the shape stability of the protruding portion of the first circuit board 300 can be improved, thereby providing a guarantee for the structural compactness of the product, facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent assembly operations, and being beneficial to improving the yield rate of assembly production while ensuring the appearance of the product.

[0049] It is understandable that the slot 104 has a notch 104a. In practical applications, the first circuit board 300 can be inserted into or removed from the slot 104 through the notch 104a. The slot bottom 104b is the end of the slot 104 away from the notch 104a.

[0050] It is understandable that the connector 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used as a component of the display module, and the connector 100 can be used to connect different circuit boards of the display module to establish an electrical connection relationship between different circuit boards. The aforementioned first circuit board 300 and the aforementioned second circuit board 400 can be, but not limited to, FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit). Exemplarily, the display module generally includes MFPC (Main Flexible Printed Circuit; Main Circuit Board) and TFPC (Touch Flexible Printed Circuit; Touch Circuit Board), the aforementioned first circuit board 300 can be one of MFPC and TFPC, and the aforementioned second circuit board 400 can be the other of MFPC and TFPC. Taking the case where the first circuit board 300 is MFPC and the second circuit board 400 is TFPC as an example, the MFPC can be plugged into the aforementioned slot 104, and the TFPC can be connected to the aforementioned second conductor part 120, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the MFPC and the TFPC. Similarly, the first circuit board 300 can also be TFPC, and accordingly, the second circuit board 400 is MFPC.

[0051] It should be noted that in the conventional technology, the electrical connector used in the display module usually includes a housing and a terminal, the housing is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the terminal is installed in the housing and has a plug-in slot and a connecting portion, the notch of the plug-in slot faces the open side of the housing, the connecting portion is exposed on the mounting side of the housing, the mounting side and the open side are adjacent sides of the housing, and the plug-in slot and the connecting portion are respectively used to connect two different flexible circuit boards of the display module. However, in actual applications, it is found that since the flexible circuit board connected to the connecting end is usually attached to the mounting side and has a portion protruding from the open side, the operating space of the operator when plugging another circuit board into the plug-in slot is limited, and in order to avoid interfering with the flexible circuit board connected to the connecting portion during plugging, the operator is likely to apply a force in the direction away from the mounting side to the protruding portion of the flexible circuit board to be plugged in during the plug-in process, thereby increasing the risk of the protruding portion warping in the direction away from the mounting side, and the warping amplitude is relatively large, which not only affects the appearance of the product, but also is not conducive to the subsequent module assembly operation, resulting in the difficulty in further improving the yield rate of production.

[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5The portion pointing in the B direction is used to schematically illustrate the deformation generated when the first circuit board 300 is plugged into the electrical connector in the aforementioned conventional technology, the portion pointing in the C direction is used to schematically illustrate the deformation generated when the first circuit board 300 is plugged into the connector 100 provided in the present disclosure, the dotted line K is used to schematically indicate the position of the slot 104a, ΔH1 and ΔH2 are used to schematically indicate the warping amplitude of the corresponding first circuit board 300, wherein ΔH1 is greater than ΔH2. It can be seen that, compared with the aforementioned conventional technology, the connector 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the aforementioned setting. Because under the constraint of the aforementioned slot 104, the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the aforementioned slot 104a can be extended in a direction close to the second connection side 102 before being subjected to external force, thereby the performance of the first circuit board 300 in resisting external forces deviating from the direction of the aforementioned second connection side 102 can be improved. Based on this, when the first circuit board 300 is subjected to external force in the aforementioned direction, the amplitude of the warping deformation of the portion extending out of the slot 104a in a direction away from the second connection side 102 can be limited, which is beneficial to improving the shape stability of the protruding portion of the first circuit board 300, providing a guarantee for the structural compactness of the product, and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent assembly operations, which is beneficial to improving the yield rate of assembly production while ensuring the appearance of the product.

[0053] It is understandable that the aforementioned shell portion 110 can be generally rectangular in shape, which is beneficial to improving the regularity of the shape of the connector 100 and facilitating assembly operations, while also beneficial to improving the surface flatness of the second connection side 102 and facilitating the second connection side 102 to fit the second circuit board 400.

[0054] It can be understood that the aforementioned increase in the distance from the slot 104 to the second connection side 102 along the direction from the slot 104a of the slot 104 to the slot bottom 104b of the slot 104 means that in the aforementioned direction, the distance from at least a portion of the slot section starting from the aforementioned slot 104a to the aforementioned second connection side 102 increases, and the aforementioned distance increase method can be continuous or staged, and no further restrictions are made here.

[0055] In some feasible examples, there are multiple conductor parts 120, and the notches 104a of the multiple conductor parts 120 are oriented in the same direction. It can be understood that in actual applications, the specific number and arrangement spacing of the conductor parts 120 can be set in combination with the parameter specifications of the first circuit board 300 to be connected, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0056] In some feasible examples, the housing portion 110 is made of insulating material, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the connector 100 .

[0057] In some feasible examples, the conductor part 120 is made of a metal material, which is beneficial to improve the molding convenience of the conductor part 120 and ensure the conductive efficiency of the conductor part 120 .

[0058] In some feasible examples, the connection end of the second conductor segment 122 is located outside the shell portion 110 , and the connection end of the second conductor segment 122 is used for welding to the second circuit board 400 , thereby facilitating the improvement of the connection convenience and connection strength between the second conductor segment 122 and the second circuit board 400 .

[0059] In some feasible examples, the aforementioned slot 104a is located outside the aforementioned shell portion 110, so that in actual applications, the shell portion 110 can be prevented from interfering with the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the slot 104a, which is beneficial to further ensure that the first circuit board 300 extends out of the slot 104a and extends in a direction close to the second connection side 102.

[0060] In some feasible examples, the first conductor segment 121 is located in the shell portion 110, and in the projection plane perpendicular to the conduction direction of the slot 104a, the orthographic projection of the slot 104a is located within the orthographic projection range of the mounting opening 103, thereby, on the one hand, ensuring the protective effect of the shell portion 110 on the first conductor portion 120 and reducing the probability of damage to the first conductor segment 121; on the other hand, the structural permeability of the mounting opening 103 can also be ensured. In actual applications, the shell portion 110 can be prevented from interfering with the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the slot 104a, which is beneficial to further ensure that the first circuit board 300 extending out of the slot 104a is extended in a direction close to the second connection side 102.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the slot 104 includes a limiting section 1041 , the notch 104 a is located in the limiting section 1041 , and the conducting direction of the limiting section 1041 intersects with the extending direction of the second connection side 102 .

[0062] In this technical solution, the slot 104 may include a limited segment 1041, the slot 104a of the slot 104 is located in the limited segment 1041, and the extension direction of the limited segment 1041 intersects with the extension direction of the second connection side 102, that is, the limited segment 1041 is arranged obliquely relative to the second connection side 102. In combination with the above, it can be understood that along the direction from the slot 104a to the slot bottom 104b, the distance from the limited segment 1041 to the second connection side 102 increases, so that based on the above arrangement, the slot 104 can be extended from at least a portion of the slot section starting from the slot 104a to the slot bottom 104b in the direction from the slot 104a to the slot bottom 104b. The distance from the second connection side 102 is increased, and thus in actual applications, it can be more reliably ensured that the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the aforementioned notch 104a is extended in a direction close to the second connection side 102 before being acted upon by an external force, thereby improving the performance of the first circuit board 300 in resisting external forces that deviate from the direction of the aforementioned second connection side 102, which is beneficial to limiting the warping deformation amplitude of the portion of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the notch 104a in a direction away from the second connection side 102, improving the shape stability of the protruding portion of the first circuit board 300, providing a guarantee for the structural compactness of the product, facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent assembly operations, and improving the yield rate of assembly production.

[0063] It should be noted that Figure 3 The middle dimension H1 is used to schematically indicate the distance from one end of the limiting section 1041 close to the notch 104a to the second connection side 102 , and the dimension H2 is used to schematically indicate the distance from one end of the limiting section 1041 close to the groove bottom 104b to the second connection side 102 .

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the angle α between the conducting direction of the limiting segment 1041 and the extending direction of the second connection side 102 is greater than or equal to 5° and less than or equal to 15°.

[0065] In this technical solution, the angle α between the limit section 1041 and the second connection side 102 is constrained. Based on the above-mentioned setting, on the one hand, the inclination amplitude of the limit section 1041 can be prevented from being too small, so that it can be more reliably ensured that the part of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the aforementioned notch 104a is extended in the direction close to the second connection side 102 before being acted upon by external force, and the performance of the first circuit board 300 in resisting external forces deviating from the direction of the aforementioned second connection side 102 is further improved; on the other hand, it can also prevent the inclination amplitude of the limit section 1041 from being too large, which is beneficial to prevent the part of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the aforementioned notch 104a from structurally interfering with the second circuit board 400, and is beneficial to ensuring the operating space and convenience of the assembly operation.

[0066] Exemplarily, the angle α between the conduction direction of the aforementioned limiting segment 1041 and the extension direction of the second connection side 102 can be not limited to 5°, 7°, 10°, 12° or 15°, etc. The specific angle can be set according to actual needs and is not excessively limited here.

[0067] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the first conductor segment 121 has a first limiting wall 1211 and a second limiting wall 1212 arranged at intervals, a limiting segment 1041 is defined between the first limiting wall 1211 and the second limiting wall 1212, the second limiting wall 1212 is located between the first limiting wall 1211 surface and the second connection side 102, and the first limiting wall 1211 is used to abut the first circuit board 300; wherein, an extension direction of the first limiting wall 1211 intersects with an extension direction of the second connection side 102, and a distance from one end of the first limiting wall 1211 close to the aforementioned notch 104a to the second connection side 102 is less than a distance from one end of the first limiting wall 1211 close to the aforementioned notch bottom 104b to the second connection side 102.

[0068] In this technical solution, the aforementioned limiting section 1041 can be defined by the first limiting wall 1211 and the second limiting wall 1212 of the first conductor segment 121. Accordingly, the extension direction of the aforementioned first limiting wall 1211 can be set to intersect with the extension direction of the second connection side 102, and the distance from the end of the first limiting wall 1211 close to the aforementioned notch 104a to the second connection side 102 is set to be smaller than the distance from the end of the first limiting wall 1211 close to the aforementioned groove bottom 104b to the second connection side 102, so as to ensure that the conduction direction of the limiting section 1041 intersects with the extension direction of the second connection side 102, and along the direction from the aforementioned notch 104a to the aforementioned groove bottom 104b, the limiting section 1041 The distance between the second connection side 102 is increased, thereby ensuring the restraining effect of the limiting section 1041 on the extension direction of the first circuit board 300; at the same time, since the second limiting wall 1212 is located between the first limiting wall 1211 surface and the second connection side 102, and in actual applications, the first limiting wall 1211 can be used to abut the first circuit board 300, so that when the first circuit board 300 is subjected to an external force in a direction away from the second connection side 102, the first limiting wall 1211 can provide support for the first circuit board 300, so as to offset the aforementioned external force, thereby further limiting the warping amplitude of the first circuit board 300 and further enhancing the shape stability of the first circuit board 300.

[0069] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the extension direction of the second limiting wall 1212 is consistent with the extension direction of the first limiting wall 1211 , and the second limiting wall 1212 is used to abut against a side of the first circuit board 300 away from the first limiting wall 1211 .

[0070] In this technical solution, the extension direction of the second limiting wall 1212 can be set to be consistent with the extension direction of the first limiting wall 1211, and the connector 100 can use the first limiting wall 1211 and the second limiting wall 1212 to respectively abut the two sides of the first circuit board 300 in the thickness direction. Based on the above-mentioned setting, the plug-in reliability between the conductor part 120 and the first circuit board 300 can be further enhanced, and the risk of the first circuit board 300 loosening can be reduced. The restraining effect of the limiting section 1041 on the extension direction of the first circuit board 300 can be more reliably guaranteed, which is beneficial to improving the ability of the first circuit board 300 to resist warping and provide guarantee for the subsequent assembly quality.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the distance from one end of the second limiting wall 1212 close to the aforementioned notch 104 a to the second connection side 102 is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm.

[0072] In this technical solution, the distance from one end of the second limiting wall 1212 close to the aforementioned slot 104a to the second connection side 102 can be set to be greater than or equal to 0.3 mm. Based on the aforementioned setting, it is convenient to ensure the distance between the part of the first circuit board 300 extending out of the slot 104a and the second connection side 102 in actual applications, thereby reducing the risk of structural interference between the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400, and at the same time, it is beneficial to expand the operating space during assembly operations, making it easier for operators to install the connector 100.

[0073] Exemplarily, the distance from one end of the second limiting wall 1212 close to the slot 104a to the second connection side 102 may be but is not limited to 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, etc., and may be specifically set in combination with the size requirements of the module product, and no further limitations are given here.

[0074] It can be understood that, in actual applications, the distance from one end of the second limiting wall 1212 close to the slot 104a to the second connection side 102 can be set in combination with the angle α, that is, when the angle α is larger, a larger distance can be selected accordingly, and when the angle α is smaller, a smaller distance can be selected accordingly, thereby further reducing the risk of structural interference between the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400.

[0075] It is understandable that if Figure 3 As shown, since the second limiting wall 1212 constrains the boundary of the limiting section 1041 close to the second connection side 102, the distance H1 from the end of the limiting section 1041 close to the slot 104a to the second connection side 102 can also be used to represent the distance from the end of the second limiting wall 1212 close to the aforementioned slot 104a to the second connection side 102.

[0076] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the slot 104 further includes a receiving section 1042 , the slot bottom 104 b is located in the receiving section 1042 , and the receiving section 1042 is connected to the limiting section 1041 .

[0077] In this technical solution, the aforementioned slot 104 may also include a receiving section 1042 connected to the aforementioned limiting section 1041, and the aforementioned slot bottom 104b is located in the receiving section 1042. Therefore, based on the aforementioned setting, the slot depth of the slot 104 can be further expanded, which is convenient for increasing the insertion amount of the first circuit board 300, and is beneficial to ensuring the connection reliability between the first conductor part 120 and the first circuit board 300, reducing the risk of the first circuit board 300 loosening, and can provide reliable guarantee for the smooth operation of the display module during use.

[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the angle between the conducting direction of the limiting section 1041 and the extending direction of the second connection side 102 is greater than or equal to the angle between the conducting direction of the accommodating section 1042 and the extending direction of the second connection side 102 .

[0079] In this technical solution, the angle α between the conduction direction of the limiting section 1041 and the extension direction of the second connection side 102 can be set to be greater than the angle between the conduction direction of the accommodating section 1042 and the extension direction of the second connection side 102. Based on the above setting, on the one hand, the parallelism between the accommodating section 1042 and the second connection side 102 can be improved, which is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the connector 100 in the direction perpendicular to the second connection side 102, which is beneficial to improve the structural compactness of the connector 100 and provide a guarantee for improving the miniaturization and thinness of the product; on the other hand, in actual applications, it can also cause the first circuit board 300 in the slot 104 to bend, thereby reducing the risk of the first circuit board 300 sliding out of the slot 104 through the notch 104a, which is beneficial to further improve the connection reliability between the conductor part 120 and the first circuit board 300.

[0080] Alternatively, the angle α between the conduction direction of the limiting section 1041 and the extension direction of the second connection side 102 can be set equal to the angle between the conduction direction of the accommodating section 1042 and the extension direction of the second connection side 102, that is, the slot 104 is conducted in the same direction as a whole, which is beneficial to improve the convenience of the plug-in operation and improve the assembly efficiency of the product.

[0081] In some feasible examples, a smooth transition can be provided between the limiting section 1041 and the accommodating section 1042 , thereby reducing the probability of jamming during the plugging process, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of the plugging operation and improving the assembly efficiency of the product.

[0082] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the connector 100 further includes: a locking portion 130 disposed on the housing portion 110 , and the locking portion 130 is used to limit the relative movement between the first conductor segment 121 and the first circuit board 300 .

[0083] In this technical solution, the connector 100 may further include a locking portion 130 disposed on the shell portion 110, and the locking portion 130 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking portion 130 is in the locked state, the locking portion 130 can limit the relative movement between the first conductor segment 121 and the first circuit board 300, thereby preventing the first circuit board 300 from loosening and ensuring the stability of the electrical connection relationship; when the locking portion 130 is in the unlocked state, the relative movement between the first conductor segment 121 and the first circuit board 300 is limited by contact, which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first circuit board 300.

[0084] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, according to the second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display module is proposed, including: a display panel 200; a first circuit board 300, electrically connected to the display panel 200; a second circuit board 400, electrically connected to the display panel 200; a connector 100 as proposed in any one of the above-mentioned first aspects, the first circuit board 300 is plugged into the slot 104, and the second circuit board 400 is connected to the second conductor segment 122.

[0085] The display module provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a display panel 200, a first circuit board 300, a second circuit board 400 and the aforementioned connector 100. The first circuit board 300 is plugged into the slot 104 of the first conductor portion 120, and the second circuit board 400 is connected to the second conductor segment 122. Based on the aforementioned configuration, the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400 of the display module can be electrically connected through the connector 100, which facilitates the transmission of electrical signals of the display module.

[0086] It should be noted that Figure 6 The display module structure is schematically shown before the first circuit board 300 is plugged into the connector 100; Figure 7 The display module structure is schematically shown when the first circuit board 300 is plugged into the connector 100 .

[0087] It can be understood that the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400 can be but are not limited to FPC.

[0088] It is understandable that the display panel 200 may be, but is not limited to, a LED (Light-Emitting Diode) panel or an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel, etc.

[0089] Exemplarily, one of the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400 may be a MFPC, and the other may be a TFPC.

[0090] In some feasible examples, the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board 400 are disposed on different sides of the display panel 200 , thereby facilitating improving the surface utilization of the display panel 200 and enhancing the structural compactness of the product.
