[0043] The following is a description of the embodiments provided by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Please refer toFigure 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an adapter 10, which is used to electrically connect a first electronic device 20 and a second electronic device 30; specifically, the first electronic device 20 is a wireless network card of a notebook computer, and the second electronic device 30 is the main board of the notebook computer. It can be understood that the signal between the traditional wireless network card and the main board is usually transmitted through a physical antenna. In this embodiment, the adapter 10 replaces the traditional physical antenna and realizes the signal transmission between the wireless network card and the main board. Specifically, two signal lines are printed on the main board to form hidden lines, and one end of each of the two signal lines is close to the wireless network card. Then, the adapter 10 is installed on the wireless network card and electrically connected to the two signal lines close to the wireless network card, thereby realizing the signal connection between the wireless network card and the main board.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 , the adapter 10 includes a carrier 11, a first cable 12, a second cable 13 and a shielding case 14. The carrier 11 is connected to the second electronic device 30. One end of the first cable 12 is electrically connected to the first electronic device 20. Specifically, the electrical connection between one end of the first cable 12 and the first electronic device 20 is realized through a plug-in connection. The other end of the first cable 12 is positioned on the carrier 11 and is used to be electrically connected to the second electronic device 30. One end of the second cable 13 is electrically connected to the first electronic device 20. Specifically, the electrical connection between one end of the second cable 13 and the first electronic device 20 is realized through a plug-in connection. The other end of the second cable 13 is positioned on the carrier 11 and is used to be electrically connected to the second electronic device 30. The shielding case 14 covers the carrier 11 and is used to shield the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 positioned on the carrier 11.

[0046] In the above-mentioned adapter 10, first, the first electronic device 20 is installed at a preset position of the second electronic device 30, and the carrier 11 is installed on the second electronic device 30. Then, the first cable 12 and the second cable electrically connected to the first electronic device 20 are both positioned on the carrier 11. Finally, the shielding case 14 is covered on the carrier 11, so that the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 positioned on the carrier 11 are received in the shielding case 14, and electromagnetic shielding is performed on the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 to avoid the electromagnetic waves generated by the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 from leaking out and interfering with other electronic devices; in this way, the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 are simultaneously received by the shielding cover for electromagnetic signal shielding, with a simple structure and high installation efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 have the same structure and are both coaxial cables. The first cable 12 and the second cable 13 respectively form a positive cable and a negative cable. Among them, the coaxial cable includes an inner conductor, an insulating layer, an outer conductor layer, and a protective sleeve. The protective sleeve is sleeved on the outer conductor layer, the outer conductor is sleeved on the insulating layer, and the insulating layer is sleeved on the inner conductor. Among them, the outer conductor is used for grounding.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the shielding case 14 is detachably covered on the carrier 11 to facilitate the disassembly or installation of the shielding case 14.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the shielding case 14 includes a shielding case body 141, an extension body 142, and a locking body 143. The shielding case body 141 is detachably covered on the carrier 11 and is used to shield the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 positioned on the carrier 11. The extension body 142 extends along the direction away from the central position of the shielding case body 141 and abuts against the side of the carrier 11 away from the second electronic device 30. One end of the locking body 143 abuts against the extension body 142, and the other end of the locking body 143 is movably inserted through the extension body 142 and the carrier 11 and is detachably connected to the second electronic device 30; specifically, the other end of the locking body 143 is movably inserted through the extension body 142 and the carrier 11 and is threadedly connected to the second electronic device 30. Exemplarily, the locking body 143 can be a screw.

[0050] In this way, first cover the shielding case 14 on the carrier 11, and cover the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 positioned on the carrier 11 inside the shielding case body 141 to shield the signals of the first cable 12 and the second cable 13. Then, thread the other end of the locking body 143 through the extension body 142 and the carrier 11 in sequence and threadedly connect it to the second electronic device 30, so that one end of the locking body 143 abuts against the extension body 142, thereby fixing the shielding case 14 and the carrier 11 to the second electronic device 30 at the same time. In this way, the shielding case 14 and the carrier 11 can be fixed simultaneously through the locking member, and the detachable connection between the locking member and the second electronic device 30 is realized through the thread, effectively improving the assembly efficiency of the adapter 10.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2, in this embodiment, the shielding case 14 further includes a first grounding abutting body 144 and a second grounding abutting body 145. The first grounding abutting body 144 is connected to the shielding case body 141 and elastically abuts against the grounding contact of the first cable 12. Specifically, the first grounding abutting body 144 itself has elasticity and elastically abuts against the outer conductor of the first cable 12. The second grounding abutting body 145 is connected to the shielding case body 141 and elastically abuts against the grounding contact of the second cable 13. Specifically, the second grounding abutting body 145 itself has elasticity and elastically abuts against the outer conductor of the second cable 13. Both the first grounding abutting body 144 and the second grounding abutting body 145 form a grounding structure with the shielding case body 141, the extension body 142, and the locking body 143. Specifically, the locking body 143 is a metal screw. Exemplarily, the metal screw can be made of a steel material or an aluminum alloy material with conductive functions.

[0052] Thus, a grounding structure for the first cable 12 is formed by the first grounding abutting body 144, the shielding case body 141, the extension body 142, and the locking body 143. A grounding structure for the second cable 13 is formed by the second grounding abutting body 145, the shielding case 14 body, the extension body 142, and the locking body 143. That is, the shielding case 14 is also used to form the grounding structures for the first cable 12 and the second cable 13. Thus, there is no need to separately provide the grounding structures for the first cable 12 and the second cable 13, optimizing the structure of the adapter 10, simplifying the installation steps, and effectively improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the first grounding abutting body 144 and the second grounding abutting body 145.

[0053] In this embodiment, the shielding case 14 is made of a metal conductive material.

[0054] For ease of explanation, a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system is added or subtracted in Figure 1 . The direction where the X-axis is located is the first direction, that is, the setting direction of the first positioning cavity 112 and the second positioning cavity 113. The direction where the Y-axis is located is the second direction, that is, the extending direction of the first positioning cavity 112. The direction where the Z-axis is located is the third direction, that is, the direction in which the first elastic piece 15 penetrates the carrier 11. Among them, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 . In some embodiments, clamping protrusions 114 are provided on both opposite sides of the carrier 11 in the first direction, and clamping through holes 146 are provided on both sides of the shielding case 14 in the first direction. The clamping protrusions 114 are clamped and connected in the clamping through holes 146. Thus, the shielding case 14 is clamped and connected to the carrier 11 to facilitate improving the assembly efficiency of the carrier 11, and through cooperation with the locking body 143, the shielding case 14 is more firmly fixed on the carrier 11.

[0056] Please refer toFigure 3 In some embodiments, the carrier 11 includes a carrier body 111, a first positioning cavity 112, and a second positioning cavity 113. The carrier body 111 is connected to the second electronic device 30. The first positioning cavity 112 extends along a second direction and is used for positioning the first cable 12. The other end of the first cable 12 passes through the first positioning cavity 112 and is used for electrically connecting to the second electronic device 30. The second positioning cavity 113 extends along the second direction and is used for positioning the second cable 13. The other end of the second cable 13 passes through the second positioning cavity 113 and is used for electrically connecting to the second electronic device 30. The first positioning cavity 112 and the second positioning cavity 113 configured in the carrier body 111 are arranged at intervals along a first direction perpendicular to the second direction.

[0057] In this way, the positioning of the first cable 12 is achieved through the first positioning cavity 112, and the positioning of the second cable 13 is achieved through the second positioning cavity 113. During positioning, the first cable 12 can be directly inserted into the first positioning cavity 112 to achieve the positioning of the first cable 12, and the second cable 13 can be directly inserted into the second positioning cavity 113 to achieve the positioning of the second cable 13, thereby improving the positioning efficiency of the first cable 12 and the second cable.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first cable 12 is electrically connected to the second electronic device 30 through a first elastic sheet 15. Specifically, the inner conductor of the first cable 12 is fixed to one end of the first elastic sheet 15 by welding, and the other end of the first elastic sheet 15 elastically abuts against a corresponding signal line on the second electronic device 30. The second cable 13 is electrically connected to the second electronic device 30 through a second elastic sheet 16. Specifically, the inner conductor of the second cable 13 is fixed to one end of the second elastic sheet 16 by welding, and the other end of the second elastic sheet 16 elastically abuts against another corresponding signal line on the second electronic device 30. And both the first elastic sheet 15 and the second elastic sheet 16 penetrate through the carrier body 111 along a third direction; specifically, both the first elastic sheet 15 and the second elastic sheet 16 are made of conductive metal, and both the first elastic sheet 15 and the second elastic sheet 16 are generally in a V-shaped structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first elastic sheet 15 and the second elastic sheet 16 have the same shape and size.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second electronic device 30 is provided with a positioning hole 31. The carrier 11 further includes a positioning body 115 adapted to the positioning hole 31. The positioning body 115 is connected to the side of the carrier body 111 facing away from the shielding case 14 and is inserted into the positioning hole 31 for positioning the carrier body 111. Specifically, the diameter of the positioning hole 31 is the same as that of the positioning body 115.

[0061] In this way, by inserting the positioning body 115 of the carrier 11 into the positioning hole 31, the carrier 11 is positioned on the second electronic device 30, so that the first elastic piece 15 and the second elastic piece 16 on the carrier 11 can be aligned with the corresponding signal lines on the second electronic device 30. At the same time, when the positioned carrier 11 is fixed to the second electronic device 30 through the locking member, the carrier 11 will not rotate during the screwing of the locking body 143, so as to quickly lock and fix the carrier 11.

[0062] In this embodiment, the number of the positioning holes 31 and the positioning bodies 115 is the same and both are multiple.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the first electronic device 20 is detachably connected to the second electronic device 30, so as to facilitate the disassembly or assembly between the first electronic device 20 and the second electronic device 30; specifically, a through hole is provided on the first electronic device 20, and a reserved threaded hole is provided on the second electronic device 30. The first electronic device 20 is placed on the second electronic device 30, the through hole is aligned with the reserved threaded hole, and then the first electronic device 20 is fixed to the second electronic device 30 through screws.

[0064] The assembly principle of the above adapter 10 is roughly as follows:

[0065] First, the first cable 12 is positioned in the first positioning cavity 112 on the carrier 11, and the second cable 13 is positioned in the second positioning cavity 113 on the carrier 11, and then the carrier 11 is positioned on the second electronic device 30 through the positioning body 115 and the positioning hole 31;

[0066] Then, the first elastic piece 15 and the second elastic piece 16 are installed on the carrier 11. One end of the first elastic piece 15 is welded and fixed to the inner conductor of the first cable 12, and the other end of the first elastic piece 15 elastically abuts against a corresponding signal line on the second electronic device 30. And one end of the second elastic piece 16 is welded and fixed to the inner conductor of the second cable 13, and the other end of the second elastic piece 16 elastically abuts against another corresponding signal line on the second electronic device 30;

[0067] Finally, first cover and snap the shielding case 14 on the carrier 11. The shielding case 14 houses the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 and performs electromagnetic wave shielding. Then, after the locking body 143 sequentially passes through the extension body 142 and the carrier 11, it is threadedly connected to the second electronic device 30 to realize the locking and fixing of the shielding case 14 and the carrier 11, and at the same time, the grounding of the first cable 12 and the second cable 13 is also realized.

[0068] The present disclosure also provides another embodiment: an electronic device, which includes the above-mentioned adapter 10, a first electronic component 20, and a second electronic component 30. The electrical signal transmission between the first electronic component 20 and the second electronic component 30 is realized through the adapter 10. Exemplarily, the electronic device may be a laptop computer.

[0069] As described above, the foregoing are only specific embodiments of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
