[0034] Currently, pogo pin connectors on the market are usually manufactured by the following method. First, parts such as the needle tip, spring and needle tube in the pogo pin are assembled and riveted and fixed, and then the various parts of the pogo pin are assembled or formed together by injection molding or other processes. This manufacturing method meets the use requirements of the connector to a certain extent, but for ultra-small connectors, it is difficult to process and assemble using the above method, and the production efficiency is low.

[0035] The present utility model proposes a connector module.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the connector module 100 includes:

[0037] Elastic seat 1, on which a limiting recess 1111 and a mounting hole 11 are provided, and the limiting recess 1111 is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 11;

[0038] PIN pin connector 2, which is arranged through the mounting hole 11; and

[0039] Limiting convex portion 211, which protrudes from the outer periphery of the PIN pin connector 2, and the limiting convex portion 211 abuts against the inside of the limiting recess 1111 to prevent the PIN pin connector 2 from slipping out of the elastic seat 1 through the mounting hole 11.

[0040] In the technical solution of the present utility model, the connector module 100 includes an elastic seat 1. By providing a mounting hole 11 on the elastic seat 1, the PIN pin connector 2 is arranged through the mounting hole 11, and the elastic force of the elastic seat 1 is used to assemble and fix each component of the PIN pin connector 2, which can simplify the production and assembly process of the connector. In addition, in this solution, a limiting recess 1111 is provided on the elastic seat 1, and a limiting convex portion 211 protrudes from the outer periphery of the PIN pin connector 2. Through the cooperation and abutment of the limiting convex portion 211 and the limiting recess 1111, it is ensured that the PIN pin connector 2 can be accurately positioned during the installation process, thereby reducing the shaking and displacement of the connector during use and improving the connection reliability. Moreover, by restricting the limiting convex portion 211 within the limiting recess 1111, it effectively prevents the PIN pin connector 2 from slipping out of the elastic seat 1 due to external force or vibration, ensuring that the connector will not accidentally fall off during long-term use and guaranteeing the normal electrical connection of the connector module 100.

[0041] Specifically, the structures of the limiting recess 1111 and the limiting convex portion 211 are not specifically limited. The limiting convex portion 211 can be a clamping block provided on the outside of the PIN pin connector 2, and the limiting recess 1111 can be a card slot provided in the mounting hole 11, etc., so that the clamping block can be embedded in the card slot to ensure that the PIN pin connector 2 cannot slide out of the mounting hole 11 without external force; when it needs to be removed, only need to pull out the PIN pin connector 2 from the mounting hole 11 forcefully. It should be noted that the number of the mounting holes 11 is not specifically limited and can be designed according to the required contact sites for electrical connection. In addition, the material of the elastic seat 1 can be synthetic rubber or polyurethane elastic foam, etc.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 3, the limiting concave portion 1111 is an annular groove provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 11, and the limiting convex portion 211 is an annular protrusion protruding from the outer periphery of the PIN pin connector 2. In this way, the annular grooves are evenly distributed around the mounting hole 11, forming a continuous and closed limiting track, providing an accurate positioning point for the PIN pin connector 2. The setting depth and width of the annular groove are carefully designed to ensure a perfect match with the limiting convex portion 211, thereby maintaining the stability of the connector while also allowing necessary elastic deformation to adapt to the small displacements that may occur during the installation and use of the connector.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 4 , the PIN pin connector 2 includes:

[0044] The needle tube 21 has an accommodation cavity with an opening formed inside, the accommodation cavity has a cavity bottom opposite to the opening, and the limiting convex portion 211 is provided on the outer periphery of the needle tube 21;

[0045] The needle head 22, the needle head 22 includes a connecting portion 221 and an abutting portion 222 fixedly connected to the connecting portion 221, the connecting portion 221 is movably arranged in the accommodation cavity, and the abutting portion 222 extends to the outside of the elastic seat 1 through the mounting hole 11; and

[0046] The elastic member 23 is arranged in the accommodation cavity, one end of the elastic member 23 abuts against the connecting portion 221, and the other end of the elastic member 23 abuts against the cavity bottom.

[0047] Specifically, the PIN pin connector 2 mainly includes three components: the needle tube 21, the needle head 22, and the elastic member 23. During the processing of the connector, first, the needle head 22 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, and it is necessary to ensure that the small end of the needle head 22 extends out of the mounting hole 11 during this process; then the elastic member 23 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, and finally the needle tube 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 to complete the assembly and forming. An accommodation cavity with an opening is formed inside the needle tube 21, which not only provides a accommodation space for the needle head 22 and the elastic member 23, but also ensures the overall compactness of the connector. The needle head 22 is composed of two parts: the connecting portion 221 and the abutting portion 222. The connecting portion 221 can be movably arranged in the accommodation cavity, so that the needle head 22 can generate a small elastic displacement under the action of an external force and reset under the action of the elastic member 23, thereby ensuring the reliability and adaptability of the electrical contact; the abutting portion 222 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 221 and extends to the outside of the elastic seat 1 through the mounting hole 11 and is in contact with the external circuit, and is responsible for transmitting electrical signals or current. The elastic member 23 can be a spring or an elastic column, etc., which can provide a reaction force when the connecting portion 221 is subjected to an external force, ensure that the needle head 22 can maintain a stable contact pressure, and can also quickly return to its original state when the connection is disconnected, ensuring the durability and long-term stability of the connector.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 4 , the end face of the connecting portion 221 facing away from the abutting portion 222 is provided as an inclined surface to abut against the elastic member 23. During operation, the inclined surface of the needle 22 will abut against the end of the elastic member 23 and compress the elastic member 23. At this time, the reaction force of the elastic member 23 will generate a lateral component force on the inclined surface, causing the needle 22 to tilt to a certain extent during the descending process and come into contact with the inner wall of the needle tube 21, greatly improving the stability of the contact between the needle 22 and the needle tube 21 during use, avoiding the problem of instantaneous disconnection of the electrical connection, and ensuring a reliable electrical conduction effect.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 3 , the mounting hole 11 includes a first sub-hole 111 and a second sub-hole 113. The second sub-hole 113 is arranged along the axial direction of the first sub-hole 111 and is in communication with each other. The needle tube 21 is arranged in the first sub-hole 111. The limiting concave portion 1111 is arranged on the hole wall of the first sub-hole 111, and the abutting portion 222 penetrates through the second sub-hole 113 and extends to the outside of the elastic seat 1. Considering the problem of different outer diameters of the needle 22 and the needle tube 21, the mounting hole 11 is divided into two first sub-holes 111 and second sub-holes 113 with different hole diameters. The first sub-hole 111 is the main part of the mounting hole 11, and its main function is to accommodate the needle tube 21 to ensure the correct positioning and fixation of the needle tube 21 in the elastic seat 1. Moreover, a limiting concave portion 1111 is arranged on the hole wall of the first sub-hole 111, and this concave portion cooperates with the limiting convex portion 211 on the outer circumference of the needle tube 21 to form an effective locking to prevent the needle tube 21 from moving or falling off unnecessarily when subjected to an external force. The second sub-hole 113 is arranged along the axial direction of the first sub-hole 111 and is in communication with the first sub-hole 111, allowing the abutting portion 222 of the needle 22 to smoothly pass through the second sub-hole 113 and extend to the outside of the elastic seat 1.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 3 , the center lines of the first sub-hole 111 and the second sub-hole 113 are arranged to coincide, ensuring the coaxiality of the needle tube 21 and the needle 22 during the installation process, thereby reducing the installation error and improving the assembly quality of the connector. This coaxial design makes the positioning of the needle tube 21 in the first sub-hole 111 more accurate. At the same time, the abutting portion 222 of the needle 22 can also maintain a linear motion when passing through the second sub-hole 113, making the movement trajectories of the needle tube 21 and the needle 22 smoother and avoiding problems such as poor contact or wear caused by eccentricity.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 3, the abutting portion 222 extends along the axial direction of the connecting portion 221, and the aperture diameter of the second sub-hole 113 and the outer diameter of the abutting portion 222 are both smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 221. In this way, the smaller aperture diameter and the outer diameter of the abutting portion 222 contribute to improving the space utilization efficiency of the connector, meeting the strict requirements of ultra-small electronic devices for the size of the connector. In addition, it can ensure that the connecting portion 221 of the needle 22 is always restricted within the first sub-hole 111 and does not separate from the needle tube 21, realizing effective electrical conduction of the connector.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a guiding portion 212 is formed at the mouth edge of the open end, and the guiding portion 212 extends along the installation direction of the connecting portion 221. The setting of the guiding portion 212 provides a clear path for the insertion of the needle tube 21, improving the assembly efficiency of the connector; it can also reduce the damage to the needle tube 21 and the needle 22 during the assembly process. Through the smooth transition of the guiding portion 212, the needle tube 21 and the needle 22 can be more smoothly connected during connection, avoiding wear caused by friction or impact.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 5 , the inner diameter of the guiding portion 212 changes in a decreasing state from the end close to the abutting portion 222 to the end far from the abutting portion 222. In this way, the decreasing inner diameter design provides a progressive guiding effect for the insertion of the needle tube 21. When the needle tube 21 is inserted into the needle 22 along the guiding portion 212, due to the gradual reduction of the inner diameter, the needle tube 21 can smoothly and precisely guide the needle 22 into the accommodating cavity, effectively reducing the resistance during the insertion process and avoiding installation difficulties caused by sudden dimensional changes.

[0054] The present invention also proposes an electronic device, which includes a connector module 100. The specific structure of the connector module 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since this electronic device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0055] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and it does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
