Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a connector assembly and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the charging interface of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets is generally an open interface, and the interface terminal of the connector is directly exposed in the open interface. When in use, the electronic device can be charged by plugging an adapter inserted into a power socket into the interface terminal.

[0003] However, during daily use, the open charging interface is easily infiltrated by liquid, and due to the circuit design, the interface terminals are in a charged state for a long time. Therefore, when liquid enters the charging interface, electrolytic corrosion is likely to occur at the interface terminals, causing damage to the interface. In severe cases, it may even cause the device to burn, which has a great impact on the service life of the electronic device. Utility Model Content

[0070] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0071] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0072] Example 1

[0073] The present application embodiment provides a connector assembly, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connector assembly includes a first connector 1 and a switch assembly 2, wherein the first connector 1 is used to provide an output interface 11, and the output interface 11 is used to cooperate with another external connector assembly to realize external transmission of current; the switch assembly 2 is located between the first connector 1 and the power circuit, and the switch assembly 2 is configured to: disconnect the electrical connection between the first connector 1 and the power circuit when the connector assembly is in a non-use state; and conduct the electrical connection between the first connector 1 and the power circuit when the connector assembly is in a use state.

[0074] The connector assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application has a use state and a non-use state. In the use state, the connector assembly can be connected to another external connector assembly (hereinafter referred to as the "external connector") through the output interface 11, so that an electrical connection is established between the two connector assemblies to achieve current transmission; in the non-use state, the output interface 11 of the connector assembly is exposed to the air.

[0075] It should be understood that in the related art, there is an electrical connection between the power circuit and the connector assembly, so that the connector assembly is in a long-term energized state, but this also makes the output interface 11 of the connector assembly prone to electrolytic corrosion. Exemplarily, the power circuit includes a battery assembly.

[0076] In the connector assembly of the embodiment of the present application, an on-off assembly 2 is additionally provided between the first connector 1 and the power circuit. Therefore, when the connector assembly is in use, the first connector 1 is electrically connected to the power circuit so that the first connector 1 is powered, and power can be supplied to the external connector assembly through the output interface 11, thereby ensuring the normal function of the first connector 1; when the connector assembly is not in use, the electrical connection between the first connector 1 and the power circuit is disconnected, so that the first connector 1 in the non-use state is not powered, thereby avoiding electrolytic corrosion at the output interface 11, thereby avoiding interface damage and improving the service life of the connector assembly.

[0077] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the switch assembly 2 includes a moving contact 21, a stationary contact 22 and a first actuating member 23. The moving contact 21 and the stationary contact 22 are electrically connected to the first connector 1 and the power circuit respectively, and as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, at least a portion of the moving contact 21 can extend between the static contact 22 and the first actuating member 23; the first actuating member 23 is used to receive external actuation and can transmit the external actuation to the moving contact 21 so that the moving contact 21 moves relative to the first connector 1, thereby approaching or moving away from the static contact 22.

[0078] It is easy to understand that when the moving contact 21 moves away from the static contact 22 under external actuation, there is a gap between the moving contact 21 and the static contact 22, so the electrical connection between the two is disconnected, and the first connector 1 is not energized; when the moving contact 21 moves toward the static contact 22 under external actuation and contacts the static contact 22, since both the moving contact 21 and the static contact 22 are conductors, the moving contact 21 and the static contact 22 achieve electrical contact, and the first connector 1 is energized.

[0079] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the moving contact 21 is located between the first actuating member 23 and the stationary contact 22. When not in use, the first actuating member 23 is away from the moving contact 21, and there is a gap between the moving contact 21 and the stationary contact 22. When in use, the first actuating member 23 abuts against and applies force to the moving contact 21, and the moving contact 21 is in contact with the stationary contact 22.

[0080] Among them, the process of switching the connector assembly from a non-use state to a use state is as follows: as the external connector is inserted into the output interface 11, the external connector applies external actuation to the first actuator 23, and the first actuator 23 moves to a position in contact with the moving contact 21 under the external actuation, and applies force to the moving contact 21, and then drives the moving contact 21 to move in a direction close to the static contact 22 until the moving contact 21 contacts the static contact 22.

[0081] In other embodiments, the moving contact member 21 is located on a side of the stationary contact member 22 away from the first actuating member 23, and a portion of the moving contact member 21 can extend between the first actuating member 23 and the stationary contact member 22. Figure 4 As shown, in the non-use state, the first actuating member 23 abuts against the moving contact member 21, and the moving contact member 21 moves away from the static contact member 22 under the pressure of the first actuating member 23; Figure 5 As shown, in the use state, the first actuating member 23 is away from the movable contact member 21 , and the movable contact member 21 is in contact with the stationary contact member 22 .

[0082] Among them, the process of switching the connector assembly from a non-use state to a use state is as follows: as the external connector is inserted into the output interface 11, the external connector applies external actuation to the first actuator 23; in one possible case, the first actuator 23 is connected to the moving contact 21, so it drives the moving contact 21 to move toward the direction close to the static contact 22 until the moving contact 21 contacts the static contact 22; in another possible case, the moving contact 21 has elastic deformation in the non-use state, and as the first actuator 23 moves away from the static contact 22, the moving contact 21 moves toward the direction close to the static contact 22 based on its own elasticity to gradually restore the deformation until it contacts the static contact 22.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the switch assembly 2 includes an insulating mounting seat 24, the insulating mounting seat 24 has a first surface 241 facing the first actuating member 23, the first surface 241 is provided with a first mounting groove 242, and the first mounting groove 242 has an opening 243; see Figure 8The moving contact 21 and the stationary contact 22 are located in the first mounting groove 242, and a portion of the moving contact 21 extends out from the opening 243, and the moving contact 21 is elastic; the first actuating member 23 can move to a position in contact with the first surface 241, and apply pressure to the moving contact 21 to cause the moving contact 21 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0084] The insulating mounting seat 24 is an insulating structural member, such as a plastic mounting seat. The moving contact 21 and the static contact 22 are both mounted in the insulating mounting seat 24. Optionally, as Figure 7 As shown, a receiving groove is provided on the inner wall of the first mounting groove 242. Fig.11 As shown, two through holes are also provided on the inner wall of the first mounting groove 242; Figure 7 and Fig.11 , the static contact 22 and the dynamic contact 21 are both located in the first mounting groove 242, wherein one end of the static contact 22 is accommodated in the accommodating groove for fixation, and the other end of the static contact 22 is exposed from one of the through holes for electrical connection; one end of the dynamic contact 21 is suspended, and the position of the suspended end corresponds to the position of one end of the static contact 22 located in the accommodating groove, and the other end of the dynamic contact 21 is exposed from another through hole for electrical connection.

[0085] The opening 243 of the first mounting groove 242 is located within the orthographic projection of the first actuator 23 on the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24. When the first actuator 23 moves to fit with the first surface 241, it completely blocks the opening 243 of the first mounting groove 242 in the opening direction, thereby pushing a portion of the movable contact 21 extending from the opening 243 back into the first mounting groove 242; the movable contact 21 pushed back into the first mounting groove 242 is elastically deformed, and its end corresponding to the position of the stationary contact 22 is away from the stationary contact 22.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the first actuator 23 may move based on magnetic effect. Figure 8 As shown, the switch assembly 2 includes a first magnetic member 25, which is fixed to the insulating mounting seat 24; the first actuator 23 is magnetic, and the first actuator 23 can move toward the insulating mounting seat 24 under the attraction of the first magnetic member 25 until it is in contact with the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24.

[0087] Optionally, the first magnetic member 25 and the first actuating member 23 are both magnets; or, the first magnetic member 25 is a magnet, and the second magnetic member 5 is an iron block / iron alloy block.

[0088] The first magnetic member 25 can be fixed to the insulating mounting seat 24 by bonding, interference connection, etc. Fig. 9As shown, a second mounting groove 244 is also provided on the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24; the first magnetic member 25 is located in the second mounting groove 244, and the first magnetic member 25 has a second surface 251 facing the first actuating member 23, and the second surface 251 is coplanar with the first surface 241, so as to ensure that the first actuating member 23 can push the movable contact 21 back into the first mounting groove 242 to a greater extent, so that the movable contact 21 is deformed to a greater extent and further away from the stationary contact 22. Therefore, it is ensured that the movable contact 21 and the stationary contact 22 are separated from each other in the non-use state, and the first connector 1 is not charged.

[0089] It should be noted that the attraction force of the first magnetic member 25 on the first actuating member 23 is greater than the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation of the movable contact member 21 in the non-use state.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the connector assembly also includes a circuit board 3, the circuit board 3 having a first terminal 31, a second terminal 32 and a third terminal 33; the first terminal 31 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit and to the static contact 22; the second terminal 32 is electrically connected to the moving contact 21 and to the third terminal 33; the third terminal 33 is electrically connected to the first connector 1.

[0091] In other embodiments, the first terminal 31 of the circuit board 3 can be electrically connected to the static contact 22 and to the third terminal 33; the second terminal 32 can be electrically connected to the moving contact 21 and to the power supply circuit; the third terminal 33 is electrically connected to the first connector 1.

[0092] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, to facilitate electrical connection between the moving contact 21, the stationary contact 22, the first connector 1 and the circuit board 3, the positions of the first terminal 31 and the second terminal 32 correspond to the positions of the moving contact 21 and the stationary contact 22, respectively, and the position of the third terminal 33 corresponds to the position of the first connector 1. For example, Fig.11 As shown, the first terminal 31 and the second terminal 32 are respectively electrically connected to one end of the stationary contact 22 exposed from one through hole, and are electrically connected to one end of the moving contact 21 exposed from the other through hole.

[0093] Optionally, the movable contact 21, the stationary contact 22 and the first connector 1 may be connected to the corresponding terminals by welding pins or leads, or by abutting by spring pins, elastic pins, etc.

[0094] Since the first terminal 31 and the second terminal 32 are directly or indirectly connected to the power supply circuit and the first connector 1 respectively, and the first terminal 31 and the second terminal 32 are separated, an electrical connection can only be established through the moving contact 21 and the static contact 22, thereby meeting the structural requirements for on-off control of the first connector 1 and the power supply circuit.

[0095] In another implementation of the embodiment of the present application, Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the switch assembly 2 further includes an electrical contact 26 and a second actuating member 27 . The electrical contact 26 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The second actuating member 27 is used to receive external actuation.

[0096] In one example, the first end of the electrical contact 26 is connected to the first connector 1, and the second end corresponds to the position of the power circuit. The second actuator 27 is used to transmit external actuation to the electrical contact 26 so that the second end of the electrical contact 26 moves toward the direction close to the power circuit. Based on the structure in this example, the switch assembly 2 is connected to the first connector 1 and is connected to the power circuit in a switchable manner. At least a portion of the electrical contact 26 can move under the drive / actuation of the second actuator 27, so as to approach or move away from the power circuit, so as to achieve the connection or disconnection between the first connector 1 and the power circuit.

[0097] In another example, the first end of the electrical contact 26 corresponds to the position of the first connector 1, and the second end is connected to the power circuit. The second actuator 27 is used to transmit external actuation to the electrical contact 26, so that the first end of the electrical contact 26 moves in a direction close to the first connector 1. Based on the structure in this example, the switch assembly 2 is connected to the power circuit and is connected to the first connector 1 in a switchable manner. At least a portion of the electrical contact 26 can move under the drive / actuation of the second actuator 27, so as to approach or move away from the first connector 1, so as to achieve the connection or disconnection between the first connector 1 and the power circuit.

[0098] Continue to see Figures 12 to 15 The electrical contact 26 has a fourth terminal 261 and a fifth terminal 262 , the fourth terminal 261 and the fifth terminal 262 are electrically connected, and the fifth terminal 262 is electrically connected to the power circuit; the first connector 1 has a sixth terminal 12 , and the sixth terminal 12 is electrically connected to the output interface 11 .

[0099] In one embodiment, if Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the second actuator 27 is connected to the electrical contact 26. The second actuator 27 can move under external actuation and can drive the fourth terminal 261 of the electrical contact 26 to move from the first position to the second position. When the fourth terminal 261 is located at the first position, Fig.12As shown, the connector assembly is in a non-use state, the fourth terminal 261 is spaced from the sixth terminal 12, and the first connector 1 is not powered; when the fourth terminal 261 is in the second position, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, the connector assembly is in use, the fourth terminal 261 is in contact with the sixth terminal 12, and the first connector 1 is energized.

[0100] In another embodiment, if Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the fourth terminal 261 of the electrical contact 26 is elastic, and the second actuator 27 can move under external actuation and actuate the fourth terminal 261 of the electrical contact 26 to move from the first position to the second position. When the fourth terminal 261 is located at the first position, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown, the connector assembly is in a non-use state, the second actuator 27 abuts against the fourth terminal 261, so that the fourth terminal 261 is elastically deformed and spaced from the sixth terminal 12, so that the first connector 1 is not charged; when the fourth terminal 261 is in the second position, as shown Fig.15 As shown, the connector assembly is in use, and the second actuating member 27 is away from the fourth terminal 261, so that the fourth terminal 261 at least partially recovers its elastic deformation and contacts the sixth terminal 12, so that the first connector 1 is energized.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] The present application also provides a connector assembly, which is one of the external connectors described in Example 1 and is used for connecting to the external connector in Example 1. Figures 1 to 11 The connector assembly shown having the first magnetic member 25 is adapted.

[0103] like Fig.16 As shown, the connector assembly includes a second connector 4 and a second magnetic member 5 , and the second magnetic member 5 is fixed to the second connector 4 .

[0104] The second connector 4 is used for plugging and mating with the first connector 1 in Embodiment 1. Specifically, the input interface of the second connector 4 is plugged and mated with the output interface 11 of the first connector 1 to achieve mechanical and electrical connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 4.

[0105] The second magnetic member 5 is configured to cooperate with the first actuating member 23 in the first embodiment by magnetic attraction, so as to keep the first actuating member 23 away from the movable contact member 21. Fig.17As shown, after the second connector 4 is plugged into the first connector 1, the second magnetic member 5 is located on the side of the first actuator 23 away from the first magnetic member 25. Since the attraction of the second magnetic member 5 to the first actuator 23 is greater than the attraction of the first magnetic member 25 to the first actuator 23, the first actuator 23 that is in contact with the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24 will be caused to move toward the direction close to the second magnetic member 5. That is, the first actuator 23 will be away from the moving contact member 21, so that the moving contact member 21 is in contact with the static contact member 22 based on its own elasticity.

[0106] The connector assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application has a second connector 4 and a second magnetic member 5. The second connector 4 is plugged in and matched with the first connector 1 in the connector assembly in Example 1. The second magnetic member 5 attracts the first actuator 23, so that the first connector 1 can be actuated to be energized after the second connector 4 is plugged into the first connector 1. Therefore, the normal power supply of the connector assembly in Example 1 when in use is guaranteed, that is, the normal realization of the functions of the connector assembly is guaranteed.

[0107] Example 3

[0108] The present application also provides an electronic device, which includes a housing 6 and the connector assembly described in Embodiment 1. Fig.18 As shown, a plug-in port 61 is provided on the side wall of the housing 6, and the output port 11 of the first connector 1 of the connector assembly is located in the plug-in port 61. It is easy to understand that the space in the plug-in port 61 is the place where the first connector 1 and the second connector 4 are plugged and matched.

[0109] To facilitate the installation of the first actuating member 23, Fig.19 As shown, a groove 62 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 6, and the first actuator 23 is located in the groove 62; there is a first distance between the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24 and the bottom wall 621 of the groove 62, and the first distance is greater than the thickness of the first actuator 23, so that the first actuator 23 can move between the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24 and the bottom wall 621 of the groove 62.

[0110] The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application adopts the above-mentioned connector assembly. When the connector assembly is in a non-use state, the first actuator 23 is attached to the first surface 241 of the insulating mounting seat 24 under the attraction of the first magnetic member 25, and the moving contact 21 is actuated to move away from the static contact 22, so that the first connector 1 is powered off, thereby preventing the output interface 11 of the connector assembly from being electrolytically corroded in a non-use state and causing interface damage to the electronic device; when the connector assembly is in use, the second connector 4 is plugged into the first connector 1, and the first actuator 23 is attached to the bottom wall 621 of the groove 62 under the attraction of the second magnetic member 5, thereby moving away from the moving contact 21. At this time, the moving contact 21 contacts the static contact 22 based on its own elasticity, so that the first connector 1 is powered on, thereby ensuring the normal realization of the function of the connector assembly in the use state. Therefore, the charging interface of the electronic device is not easily corroded and damaged, and the service life of the electronic device is improved.
