DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described here are only used to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0050] Mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, robots and other electronic devices occupy an important position in people's lives and bring a lot of convenience and fun to people's lives. At present, there are many types of electronic devices and many brands, which makes it possible for consumers to choose from a lot of electronic equipment products. How to win the favor of consumers and improve product competitiveness. Among electronic equipment products with similar functions or performance, the higher the cost performance of the electronic equipment, the more attractive it is to consumers to buy. Therefore, how to reduce the production cost of electronic equipment has become an issue that electronic equipment manufacturers are paying more and more attention to.

[0051] Electronic devices are usually connected to other components through electrical connection components (such as Type-A, Type-B, Type-C and USB, etc.) to achieve at least one of power supply, communication, data transmission, etc.

[0052] However, in the related art, in order to meet the needs of forward and reverse plugging of electronic devices, the female connector needs to be provided with conductive terminals on both the front and back sides of the insulator for plugging. This results in a large number of assembly parts, which increases the complexity of assembly and further makes the cost of this type of female connector higher.

[0053] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a female socket connector, which is simple to assemble and has low manufacturing cost, and is conducive to reducing the cost of electrical connection devices and electronic equipment.

[0054] In order to better understand the female connector of the present disclosure, an electrical connection device using the female connector is described below.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, an electrical connection device 10 is provided, including a male connector 200 and a female connector 100. The female connector 100 includes a shielding shell 110, an insulating member 120, and at least one conductive member 130 fixed to the insulating member 120. The shielding shell 110 is provided with a receiving cavity 111. The insulating member 120 includes a fixed body 121 and a carrier 122. The fixed body 121 is fixedly connected to the shielding shell 110 so that the carrier 122 is suspended in the receiving cavity 111. The carrier 122 includes a first mating surface 1221 and a second mating surface 1222 arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the carrier 122. The conductive member 130 includes an external body 131, a first conductive terminal 132, and a second conductive terminal 133. Part of the external body 131 is embedded in the fixed body 121 so that part of the external body 131 is exposed to the fixed body 121 and the receiving cavity 111. One end of the first conductive terminal 132 and one end of the second conductive terminal 133 are fixedly connected to the external body 131, respectively, and at least part of the first conductive terminal 132 is exposed on the first mating surface 1221, and at least part of the second conductive terminal 133 is exposed on the second mating surface 1222. In this way, when the female connector 100 is assembled, the conductive member 130 is fixed to the insulating member 120, so that at least part of the first conductive terminal 132 is exposed on the first mating surface 1221, at least part of the second conductive terminal 133 is exposed on the second mating surface 1222, and the first conductive terminal 132 and the second conductive terminal 133 are electrically connected to other circuit components through the external body 131. Then, the fixed body 121 is fixedly connected to the shielding shell 110, so that the carrier 122 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 111, and the first conductive terminal 132 and the second conductive terminal 133 are used to form an interface in the accommodating cavity 111 that can be electrically connected in both positive and reverse insertion. In addition, the female connector 100 is easy to assemble and can effectively reduce manufacturing costs.

[0056] See you later Figure 1 As shown, the male connector 200 is provided with a plug connector 210 that is plugged into the receiving cavity 111, and the plug connector 210 is provided with a slot 211 that is plugged into the carrier 122 and a third conductive terminal 212 fixed in the slot 211. In this way, when the female connector 100 is connected to the male connector 200, the plug connector 210 is inserted forwardly or reversely into the receiving cavity 111, and the carrier 122 is inserted into the slot 211, so that the third conductive terminal 212 is conductively matched with the first conductive terminal 132 and / or the second conductive terminal 133. The manufacturing cost of the female connector 100 is low, which is also conducive to reducing the cost of the electrical connection device 10.

[0057] It should be noted that the “first mating surface 1221” should be understood in a broad sense, and refers to the surface on the carrier 122 that is opposite to one side wall of the accommodating cavity 111 along the Z-axis direction, including but not limited to a plane, a stepped surface, etc. The “second mating surface 1222” should be understood in a broad sense, and refers to the surface on the carrier 122 that is opposite to the other side wall of the accommodating cavity 111 along the Z-axis direction, including but not limited to a plane, a stepped surface, etc.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the thickness direction of the carrier 122 is the Z-axis direction, which is arranged in the same direction as the width direction of the accommodating cavity 111. The width direction of the carrier 122 is the X-axis direction, which is arranged in the same direction as the length direction of the accommodating cavity 111. The length direction of the carrier 122 is the Y-axis direction, which is arranged in the same direction as the depth direction of the accommodating cavity 111.

[0059] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the external body 131, the first conductive terminal 132 and the second conductive terminal 133 are integrally formed. In this way, the external body 131, the first conductive terminal 132 and the second conductive terminal 133 are integrally formed by a stamping process or other manufacturing method, which is conducive to improving the connection strength and production efficiency of the conductive member 130.

[0060] In addition, when the conductive member 130 is formed by stamping a material strip, it is also possible to improve material utilization, simplify the terminal assembly process, and reduce production costs.

[0061] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive member 130 is embedded and fixed with the insulating member 120. In this way, the conductive member 130 is embedded and fixed on the insulating member 120 during the molding process of the insulating member 120 by injection molding or the like, which is conducive to reducing the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency of the female connector 100.

[0062] See you later Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mating surface 1221 is provided with a first guide groove 101, and at least a portion of the first conductive terminal 132 is exposed in the first guide groove 101. In this way, it is convenient to insert the third conductive terminal 212 of the male connector 200 into the first guide groove 101 (for example, forward insertion), and achieve electrical connection with the first conductive terminal 132 through the guidance and limitation of the first guide groove 101, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the male connector 200 and the female connector 100.

[0063] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the second mating surface 1222 is provided with a second guide groove 102, and at least a portion of the second conductive terminal 133 is exposed in the second guide groove 102. In this way, it is convenient to insert the third conductive terminal 212 of the male connector 200 into the second guide groove 102 (for example, reverse insertion), and achieve electrical connection with the second conductive terminal 133 through the guidance and limitation of the second guide groove 102, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the male connector 200 and the female connector 100.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, there are at least two conductive members 130, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the carrier 122, and the first guide groove 101 and the second guide groove 102 correspond to the conductive members 130 one by one. The first mating surface 1221 includes a first convex rib 103 disposed between two adjacent first guide grooves 101, and the second mating surface 1222 includes a second convex rib 104 disposed between two adjacent second guide grooves 102. In this way, the first convex rib 103 can be used to increase the creepage distance between two adjacent first conductive terminals 132, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit. Similarly, the first convex rib 103 can be used to increase the creepage distance between two adjacent first conductive terminals 132, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the receiving cavity 111 is provided with a first opening 1111. The carrier 122 also includes a guide end surface 1223 adjacent to the first mating surface 1221 and the second mating surface 1222. The guide end surface 1223 is arranged toward the first opening 1111, the first guide groove 101 includes a second opening 1011 arranged on the guide end surface 1223, and the second guide groove 102 includes a third opening 1021 arranged on the guide end surface 1223. In this way, after the plug 210 of the male connector 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 111 through the first opening 1111, the guide end surface 1223 is conveniently used to guide the carrier 122 to be inserted into the slot 211 of the male connector 200. Then, the third conductive terminal 212 is introduced into the first guide groove 101 through the second opening 1011, so as to realize the electrical connection between the third conductive terminal 212 and the first conductive terminal 132. Alternatively, the third conductive terminal 212 is introduced into the second guide slot 102 through the third opening 1021 to achieve electrical connection between the third conductive terminal 212 and the second conductive terminal 133 .

[0066] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first conductive terminal 132 is exposed on the first mating surface 1221 to form a first conductive portion 1321, and the second conductive terminal 133 is exposed on the second mating surface 1222 to form a second conductive portion 1331. The length of the first conductive portion 1321 is equal to the length of the second conductive portion 1331, and is arranged in the same direction as the length direction of the carrier 122. In this way, when the male connector 200 is connected to the female connector 100, the third conductive terminal 212 can be in electrical contact with the first conductive portion 1321 and / or the second conductive portion 1331.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the accommodating cavity 111 is provided with a first opening 1111, and there are at least three conductive members 130, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the carrier 122. At least one conductive member 130 is a grounding member 130a, at least one conductive member 130 is a power supply member 130b, and at least one conductive member 130 is a communication member 130c. Among them, relative to the power supply member 130b, the first conductive portion 1321 of the grounding member 130a is closest to the first opening 1111, and the first conductive portion 1321 of the communication member 130c is farthest from the first opening 1111. In this way, through the cooperation of the grounding member 130a, the power supply member 130b and the communication member 130c, the female connector 100 can provide a large current to meet the fast charging requirements of the electronic device 1. Compared with the power supply component 130b, the first conductive portion 1321 of the grounding component 130a is closest to the first opening 1111, and the first conductive portion 1321 of the communication component 130c is farthest from the first opening 1111. This can avoid arcing caused by the plugging and unplugging of the female connector 100 and the male connector 200 under high current, thereby improving the electrical safety of the female connector 100.

[0068] Reference Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first conductive terminal 132 further includes a first end 1322 fixedly connected to the first conductive portion 1321, and the first end 1322 is embedded in the carrier 122. In this way, by embedding the first end 1322 in the carrier 122 and the external body 131 in the fixed body 121, the first conductive terminal 132 is reliably fixed on the insulating member 120, and the first conductive portion 1321 does not warp, thereby improving the service life of the female connector 100.

[0069] Reference Figure 3 As shown, combined with Figure 4It is understood that in some embodiments, the second conductive terminal 133 further includes a second end 1332 fixedly connected to the second conductive portion 1331, and the second end 1332 is embedded in the carrier 122. In this way, by embedding the second end 1332 in the carrier 122 and the external body 131 in the fixed body 121, the second conductive terminal 133 is reliably fixed on the insulating member 120, and the second conductive portion 1331 does not warp, thereby improving the service life of the female connector 100.

[0070] In some embodiments, one of the shielding shell 110 and the fixing body 121 is provided with a limiting protrusion 112, and the other is provided with a limiting recess 1211 that matches the limiting protrusion 112. In this way, through the limiting cooperation between the limiting protrusion 112 and the limiting recess 1211, the carrier 122 can be inserted into the set position of the accommodating cavity 111, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the shielding shell 110 and the insulating member 120. In addition, through the limiting cooperation between the limiting protrusion 112 and the limiting recess 1211, the risk of the insulating member 120 being separated is reduced, and the reliability of the connection between the insulating member 120 and the shielding shell 110 is improved.

[0071] Optionally, the shielding shell 110 is fixed to the fixing body 121 by bonding or screwing.

[0072] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the shielding shell 110 includes a first side wall 113 and a second side wall 114 that are arranged opposite to each other, and at least one of the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 is provided with an elastic limiting portion 115. In this way, during the connection between the female connector 100 and the male connector 200, the elastic limiting portion 115 is conveniently used to squeeze the plug connector 210, so that the plug connector 210 can be stably arranged in the accommodating cavity 111, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the female connector 100 and the male connector 200.

[0073] like Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the female connector 100 further includes a circuit board 140, the external body 131 is electrically connected to the circuit board 140, and the shielding shell 110 is fixedly connected to the circuit board 140. In this way, the circuit board 140 is used to facilitate the electrical connection between the conductive element 130 and other electronic devices.

[0074] like Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the shielding shell 110 is provided with a solder foot 116, and the circuit board 140 is provided with a soldering portion 141 fixedly connected to the solder foot 116. In this way, the female connector 100 is reliably fixed to the circuit board 140 by soldering the solder foot 116 and the soldering portion 141.

[0075] In other embodiments, the shielding shell 110 is fixed to the circuit board 140 by screwing.

[0076] like Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning protrusion 1212 is provided between the circuit board 140 and the fixing body 121, and a positioning hole 142 is provided between the circuit board 140 and the fixing body 121. In this way, through the positioning and matching of the positioning protrusion 1212 and the positioning hole 142, the female connector 100 and the circuit board 140 are accurately aligned, and the welding operation is easy, so that the external body 131 can be electrically connected to the conductive part on the circuit board 140.
