The center of the front surface of the male seat connector is provided with a connector projection, and the center of the front surface of the connector projection is provided with an alignment groove. A connector groove is formed in the center of the front surface of the female seat connector, and an alignment convex block is also arranged in the center of the front surface of the connector groove; the alignment groove and the front face of the alignment protruding block are both in a T shape, and the size of the alignment groove is matched with the size of the front face of the alignment protruding block. According to the fool-proof connector structure provided by the utility model, the male seat and the female seat can be buckled together only in one direction, and if the male seat and the female seat are reversely buckled, the T-shaped column of the female seat can block the male seat from being buckled, so that a fool-proof effect is realized, and the phenomenon that an AMOLED is burnt out due to reverse connection of the connector is prevented.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of FPC connectors, in particular to a fool-proof connector structure. Background Art

[0002] AMOLED screens have the characteristics of bright display effect, high contrast and small screen size, and are widely used in smart watch projects. At present, the functions of smart watches are becoming more and more comprehensive, integrating a series of functions such as touch control, display, and NFC payment. Although many functional components have been added to smart watches, the volume requirements for smart watches are getting smaller and smaller. Especially for the FPC of smart watches, the size of the FPC is required to be very precise and small, and the space on the FPC is limited. For example, in the FPC of the smart watch connector solution, due to the operator's unclear position of the first PIN of the connector, it is often inserted in the wrong direction, resulting in the situation of burning out the AMOLED screen.

The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0025] Such as Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, a foolproof connector structure includes: a male connector 1 and a female connector 2; a connector bump 11 is provided at the center of the front surface of the male connector 1, and a alignment groove 13 is provided at the center of the front surface of the connector bump 11; a connector groove 21 is provided at the center of the front surface of the female connector 2, and an alignment bump 22 is provided at the center of the front surface of the connector groove 21; the front surfaces of the alignment groove 13 and the alignment bump 22 are both in the shape of a "T", and the sizes of the front surfaces of the alignment groove 13 and the alignment bump 22 fit each other. It should be noted that the alignment groove 13 on the male connector 1 is formed by modifying the mold to dig a "T"-shaped groove inside the connector during the manufacturing of the connector. Similarly, on the female connector 2, by modifying the mold, a "T"-shaped bump is added inside the female connector 2.

[0026] As Figure 1-2 shown in an embodiment, on the male connector 1, the top and the bottom plate of the front surface are provided with male connector fingers 12 at equal horizontal distances; on the female connector 2, the top and the bottom are provided with female connector fingers 23 at equal horizontal distances. The shape and size of the front surface of the female connector fingers 23 are the same as those of the front surface of the male connector fingers 12, and the number of the male connector fingers 12 on the male connector 1 is the same as the number of the female connector fingers 23 on the female connector 2. It should be noted that the position of each male connector finger 12 on the male connector 1 corresponds to the position of each female connector finger 23 on the female connector 2.

[0027] As Figure 1-2 shown in an embodiment, the alignment groove 13 is provided on the left side of the front surface of the connector bump 11, and the alignment bump 22 is provided on the left side of the front surface of the connector groove 21. The front surfaces of the alignment groove 13 and the alignment bump 22 are both in the shape of a "T", and the settings of the alignment bump 22 and the alignment groove 13 correspond to each other. It should be noted that this design enables the male and female connectors to be fastened together only in one direction. If it is reversed, the "T"-shaped post of the female connector will block the male connector from being fastened, thus achieving the anti-fool function.

[0028] As Figure 1-2 shown in an embodiment, the shape and size of the front surface of the connector bump 11 fit those of the front surface of the connector groove 21. The length and width of the front surface of the male connector 1 are greater than those of the front surface of the female connector 2. Grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the center of the front surface of the male connector 1 and on both sides of the connector bump 11, and bumps are provided on the surrounding walls on both the left and right sides of the front surface of the female connector 2. It should be noted that this design enables the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 to be fastened to each other.

[0029] As Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, the shapes and sizes of the front surfaces of the left and right protrusions of the female socket connector 2 match the shapes and sizes of the front surfaces of the left and right grooves of the male socket connector 1. The shapes of the front surfaces of both the male socket connector 1 and the female socket connector 2 are rectangular. It should be noted that the female socket connector 2 and the male socket connector 1 are respectively arranged on the FPC and the display module.

[0030] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
