Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connectors, and in particular relates to a connector and an electronic earphone. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the development of economy, electronic headphones such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and headphones have become indispensable daily necessities for people. These digital electronic products have been widely integrated into people's daily lives, providing great convenience for people's lives and work, and enriching people's lives. The connector is one of the indispensable components of electronic headphones.
[0003] When the headphone charging case is charging the headphone, charging is achieved by contacting the metal charging contacts of the headphone through the connector arranged inside the headphone charging case. The metal charging contacts of the existing headphone are usually charged with cylindrical charging pins. In order to accurately position the cylindrical charging pins and stably install them on the headphone motherboard or substrate, a metal clip is also needed. The metal clip is used to fix the cylindrical charging pins, and then the pins at the bottom of the metal clip are used to cooperate with the motherboard for installation. However, during the installation of the metal clip and the cylindrical charging pins, the cylindrical charging pins can only be installed manually, which increases labor costs. If automated installation is required, SMT patches are used, but one side of the cylindrical charging pin needs to be milled out to produce a plane before the SMT patch can be performed, which adds an additional processing step and increases costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector and an electronic headset to solve the problems raised by the above background technology.
[0005] The utility model provides the following technical solution: a connector, comprising a flat-plate-shaped connecting portion, both sides of the connecting portion are respectively bent downward to form a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, a side of the first supporting portion away from the connecting portion is bent toward a direction close to the second supporting portion to form a first mounting portion, a side of the second supporting portion away from the connecting portion is bent toward a direction close to the first supporting portion to form a second mounting portion, a side of the first mounting portion away from the first supporting portion is bent downward to form a first welding portion, a side of the second mounting portion away from the second supporting portion is bent downward to form a second welding portion, and one end of the connecting portion is bent downward to form a contact portion.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion are formed by bending the connecting portion downward, and the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are formed by bending the two portions respectively, so that the connecting portion has a support body, which replaces the existing metal clamp, and the contact portion replaces the existing cylindrical charging needle. It can be seen that a single connector replaces the existing metal clip and charging needle, which saves material costs on the one hand, and reduces one installation process of the metal clip and the charging needle on the other hand, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the connecting portion is arranged in a flat plate shape, so that the top of the connector is a plane, which provides a suction effect during patching, and achieves an automated effect without the need to mill the connector again, which also reduces one process and improves work efficiency. The existing charging needle is solid, while the connector of the present application is formed by stamping a material into a hollow connector, thereby reducing its own material and controlling production costs.
[0007] Furthermore, the connecting portion, the first supporting portion, the second supporting portion, the first mounting portion, and the second mounting portion together form a supporting cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the contact portion includes an extension segment and a contact segment which are connected in sequence, the interior of the extension segment is a hollow structure, and the hollow structure passes through an end of the extension segment away from the contact segment.
[0009] Furthermore, the extension section includes a limiting body and a cylindrical extension body, and the size of the limiting body is larger than the size of the extension body.
[0010] Furthermore, the first welding portion and the second welding portion are arranged opposite to each other, and when the connector is installed, the first welding portion and the second welding portion are installed in the same installation hole of the substrate.
[0011] Furthermore, the number of the first welding parts and the number of the second welding parts are at least two respectively, and the number of the first welding parts and the number of the second welding parts are equal.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the first mounting portion and the bottom surface of the second mounting portion are on the same plane.
[0013] The utility model also provides an electronic earphone, comprising the above connector. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0025] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0026] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 The figure shows an application scenario of the connector in an embodiment of the utility model. The connector is arranged in the earphone shell 10 of the Bluetooth headset, wherein the bottom of the connector is fixed on the earphone motherboard 11 of the Bluetooth headset, and the contact portion 8 of the connector 100 is at least partially exposed from the earphone shell 10, so that the charging spring of the corresponding earphone charging compartment can achieve charging contact with the connector 100.
[0027] See also Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, a connector is provided, comprising a flat-plate-shaped connecting portion 1, both sides of the connecting portion 1 are bent downward to form a first supporting portion 2 and a second supporting portion 3, a side of the first supporting portion 2 away from the connecting portion 1 is bent toward the direction close to the second supporting portion 3 to form a first mounting portion 4, a side of the second supporting portion 3 away from the connecting portion 1 is bent toward the direction close to the first supporting portion 2 to form a second mounting portion 5, a side of the first mounting portion 4 away from the first supporting portion 2 is bent downward to form a first welding portion 6, a side of the second mounting portion 5 away from the second supporting portion 3 is bent downward to form a second welding portion 7, one end of the connecting portion 1 is bent downward to form a stretching portion, and a contact portion 8 is extended from the side of the limiting portion away from the stretching portion.
[0028] In this embodiment, the flat connecting portion 1 can have a strong supporting effect and can effectively support and connect the first supporting portion 2, the second supporting portion 3 and the stretching portion. The first supporting portion 2 and the second supporting portion 3 are vertically arranged, which can effectively support the connecting portion 1.
[0029] It is worth mentioning that the first supporting portion 2 and the second supporting portion 3 are formed by bending the connecting portion 1 downward, and the first mounting portion 4 and the second mounting portion 5 are formed by bending the two respectively, so that the connecting portion 1 has a support body, which replaces the existing metal clamp. In addition, the contact portion 8 replaces the existing cylindrical charging needle. It can be seen that the existing metal clip and charging needle are replaced by a single connector. On the one hand, material costs are saved, and on the other hand, one installation process of the metal clip and the charging needle is reduced, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the connecting portion 1 is arranged in a flat plate shape, so that the top of the connector is a plane, which provides a suction effect during patching, and achieves an automated effect without the need to mill the connector again, which also reduces a process and improves work efficiency. The existing charging needle is solid, while the connector of the present application is formed by stamping a material into a hollow connector, thereby reducing its own material and controlling production costs.
[0030] It is understandable that the existing charging pins are made by milling, while the present application is formed by stamping, thereby saving material costs.
[0031] Furthermore, in order to improve the firmness of the connector itself, the connecting portion 1 , the first supporting portion 2 , the second supporting portion 3 , the first mounting portion 4 , and the second mounting portion 5 together form a supporting cavity 9 .
[0032] In this embodiment, the cross section of the support cavity 9 is in a square shape, so that the size of the connecting portion 1 corresponds to the size of the first mounting portion 4 and the second mounting portion 5, thereby increasing the contact surface between the connecting portion 1 and the headset motherboard 11, and improving the stability of the connector after installation. It can be understood that if the size of the first mounting portion 4 and the second mounting portion 5 is small, the contact surface of the connector with the motherboard 11 is also small, so that the stability is relatively poor.
[0033] Specifically, the interior of the contact portion 8 is a hollow structure 83 , and the contact portion 8 includes an extension section 81 and a contact section 82 connected in sequence. The interior of the extension section 81 is a hollow structure 83 , and the hollow structure 83 penetrates one end of the extension section 81 away from the contact section 82 .
[0034] Specifically, the extension section 81 includes a limiting body 811 and a cylindrical extension body 812, and the size of the limiting body 811 is larger than the size of the extension body 812. During specific installation, the limiting body 811 is adapted to be installed on the earphone housing.
[0035] Furthermore, the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 are arranged opposite to each other, and when the connector is installed, the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 are installed in the same installation hole of the substrate.
[0036] It is worth noting that the first mounting portion 4 is formed by bending the side of the first supporting portion 2 away from the connecting portion 1 toward the direction close to the second supporting portion 3, and the second mounting portion 5 is formed by bending the side of the second supporting portion 3 away from the connecting portion 1 toward the direction close to the first supporting portion 2, so that the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 can be respectively not directly below the first supporting portion 2 and the second supporting portion 3, thereby adjusting and reducing the distance between the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7, which is convenient for the spring clip connector to be installed on a smaller device motherboard 11, thereby ensuring that the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 are accurately positioned and installed on the device motherboard 11 while also being suitable for a smaller size motherboard 11. In specific implementation, the distance between the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 is very small, so that the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 are installed in the same mounting hole.
[0037] In this embodiment, the number of the first welding parts 6 and the number of the second welding parts are at least two respectively, and the number of the first welding parts 6 and the number of the second welding parts are equal.
[0038] Specifically, the bottom surface of the first mounting portion 4 and the bottom surface of the second mounting portion 5 are on the same plane, so that the first mounting portion 4 and the second mounting portion 5 can be easily mounted on the mainboard 11 of the electronic component (earphone).
[0039] The utility model also provides an electronic earphone, comprising the above connector.
[0040] In summary, the first supporting portion 2 and the second supporting portion 3 are formed by bending the connecting portion 1 downward, and the first mounting portion 4 and the second mounting portion 5 are formed by bending the two respectively, so that the connecting portion 1 has a support body, which replaces the existing metal clamp. In addition, the contact portion 8 replaces the existing cylindrical charging needle. It can be seen that the existing metal clip and charging needle are replaced by a single connector, which saves material costs on the one hand, and reduces the installation process of the metal clip and the charging needle on the other hand, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the connecting portion 1 is arranged in a flat plate shape, so that the top of the connector is a plane, which provides a suction effect during patching, and achieves an automated effect without the need to mill the connector again, which also reduces a process and improves work efficiency. The existing charging needle is solid, while the connector of the present application is formed by stamping a material into a hollow connector, thereby reducing its own material and controlling production costs.
[0041] The first mounting portion 4 is formed by bending the side of the first supporting portion 2 away from the connecting portion 1 toward the second supporting portion 3, and the second mounting portion 5 is formed by bending the side of the second supporting portion 3 away from the connecting portion 1 toward the first supporting portion 2, so that the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 are not respectively located directly below the first supporting portion 2 and the second supporting portion 3, thereby adjusting and reducing the spacing between the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7, making it easier for the spring clip connector to be installed on a smaller device motherboard 11, thereby ensuring that the first welding portion 6 and the second welding portion 7 are accurately positioned and installed on the device motherboard 11 while also being suitable for a smaller size motherboard 11.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
