Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical fields of connection devices and electronic devices, and particularly relates to a clamping device and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the electrical connection elastic pieces of some electronic devices are mostly positive pressure elastic pieces. The significance of the positive pressure elastic piece is that it can realize component assembly and provide a relatively stable preloading amount. However, under the elastic force of the positive pressure elastic piece, a large reaction force will be generated between two cooperating structural members, resulting in a reduction in the preloading amount between the two cooperating structural members, thereby causing unstable electrical connection between the two structural members and ultimately resulting in unstable electronic performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of this application is to provide a clamping device and an electronic device, which can at least solve problems such as unstable electrical connection caused by the positive pressure connection method.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] The embodiments of this application provide a clamping device, including: a clamping assembly, a trigger assembly, and a locking assembly;

[0006] The clamping assembly includes an elastic clamping member, and a clamping portion is provided on the side of the elastic clamping member;

[0007] The locking assembly includes a guiding member and a locking member. The guiding member is provided with a guiding portion, and the guiding portion is provided with a first locking position and a second locking position. One end of the locking member is movably connected to the trigger assembly, and the other end of the locking member is movably disposed on the guiding portion;

[0008] The trigger assembly is cooperatively connected with the elastic clamping member and has a first cooperation position and a second cooperation position relative to the elastic clamping member;

[0009] When the trigger assembly is in the first cooperation position, the elastic clamping member is in a released state, and the other end of the locking member is in the first locking position;

[0010] When the trigger assembly moves from the first cooperation position to the second cooperation position, it drives the elastic clamping member to elastically deform and switch from the released state to the clamping state, and drives the other end of the locking member to move from the first locking position to the second locking position.

[0011] The embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device, including a functional device and the above clamping device;

[0012] The functional device has a connection end;

[0013] The end face of the connection end abuts against the trigger assembly, and the clamping portion abuts against the side surface of the connection end.

[0014] The clamping device in the embodiment of the present application does not adopt a positive pressure connection method, but a lateral clamping method, and the elastic clamping member can be locked by the locking assembly, so that it can effectively avoid the situation that the reaction force between two cooperating structural members is large in the positive pressure connection method, resulting in a reduction in the preloading amount. Moreover, under the locking action of the locking assembly, the elastic clamping member can also maintain a good clamping effect without releasing, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection to ensure stable electrical performance.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the description and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally means that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0040] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0041] Figure 1 As an electrical connection method in the related art, the elastic piece 003 used for electrical connection is installed on the first structural member 001, and the elastic piece adopts a positive pressure elastic piece. During the installation of the second structural member 002, the elastic force of the elastic piece 003 directly acts on the second structural member 002 in the opposite direction, resulting in a decrease in the preload between the first structural member 001 and the second structural member 002, causing problems such as unstable electrical connection between the two structures.

[0042] Based on the above situation, the embodiments of this application disclose a clamping device 01, which is used to connect the first structural member and the second structural member together, ensure the reliability and stability of the connection, and can also alleviate problems such as excessive internal top force of the whole machine. Among them, the clamping device 01 is arranged on the first structural member and is used to clamp and fix the second structural member, so as to realize the mechanical connection between the first structural member and the second structural member. Of course, the electrical connection between the first structural member and the second structural member can also be realized.

[0043] Optionally, the clamping device 01 can be an electrical connection device, which is applied to an electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device can include a device body 03 and a functional device 02. The clamping device 01 can be arranged on the device body 03 to ensure the stability of the installation of the clamping device 01, and the functional device 02 can be cooperatively connected with the clamping device 01 to realize the combination of the functional device 02 and the device body 03 through the clamping device 01.

[0044] Refer to Figures 2 to 15, the disclosed clamping device 01 includes a clamping assembly 10, a triggering assembly 20, and a locking assembly 30. Among them, the clamping assembly 10 is used to perform the clamping function; the triggering assembly 20 can transfer the external force to the clamping assembly 10 when receiving an external force, so that the clamping assembly 10 generates a certain deformation, thereby achieving the clamping effect. Of course, the triggering assembly 20 can also release the action on the clamping assembly 10, so that the clamping assembly 10 can return to its original position; the locking assembly 30 is used to lock the triggering assembly 20 to prevent the triggering assembly 20 from moving randomly. Of course, the locking assembly 30 can also release the locking action on the triggering assembly 20, so that the triggering assembly 20 can return to its original position.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the clamping assembly 10 may include an elastic clamping member 11, and the side of the elastic clamping member 11 has a clamping portion 111. In this way, a lateral force can be generated through the clamping portion 111, so that the direction of the force can be different from the force direction of the triggering assembly 20, for example, perpendicular to each other. In this way, lateral clamping can be achieved.

[0046] Considering that the elastic clamping member 11 has the characteristic of elastic deformation, the elastic clamping member 11 can generate a certain elastic deformation when a force is applied, and return to its original shape when the force is removed. Exemplarily, the elastic clamping member 11 can be in the shape of a sheet, a strip, etc. Of course, it can also be in other shapes, which are not specifically limited here.

[0047] In some more specific embodiments, the elastic clamping member 11 can be a spring sheet, and the longitudinal section of the spring sheet is in a curved shape. Exemplarily, the longitudinal section of the spring sheet can be in an S shape. Of course, it can also be in other shapes, which are not specifically limited here.

[0048] Further, when the elastic clamping member 11 is in an elastically deformed state, the clamping portion 111 can contact the second structural member and generate a clamping force, thereby preventing the second structural member from detaching from the clamping device 01. In this way, the reliability and stability of the connection between the first structural member and the second structural member can be ensured through the clamping device 01.

[0049] Exemplarily, the clamping portion 111 can be at least part of the surface of the elastic clamping member 11 facing the second structural member, that is, the clamping surface. Among them, the clamping surface can be a plane, an arc surface, etc. When the clamping surface is an arc surface, the clamping surface protrudes outwardly towards the second structural member, forming an outwardly convex arc surface.

[0050] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10, the triggering component 20 is cooperatively connected with the elastic clamping member 11 and has a first mating position C and a second mating position D relative to the elastic clamping member 11. When the triggering component 20 is at the first mating position C, the elastic clamping member 11 is in a released state. At this time, the elastic clamping member 11 does not play a clamping role; when the triggering component 20 moves from the first mating position C to the second mating position D, it drives the elastic clamping member 11 to elastically deform and switch from the released state to the clamping state to play a clamping role.

[0051] It should be noted here that the above-mentioned released state may include a fully released state and a non-fully released state. Among them, the fully released state means that the triggering component 20 does not exert a force on the elastic clamping member 11, so that the elastic clamping member 11 is in an initial state under the action of its own elastic restoring force; the non-fully released state means that the elastic clamping member 11 is subjected to the force exerted by the triggering component 20, but the elastic clamping member 11 cannot play a clamping role.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, by moving the triggering component 20 between the first mating position C and the second mating position D, the elastic clamping member 11 can be driven to elastically deform and switch between the released state and the clamping state. It should be noted that when the triggering component 20 moves from the first mating position C to the second mating position D, it needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic clamping member 11. Therefore, an external force needs to be applied to the triggering component 20; and when the triggering component 20 moves from the second mating position D to the first mating position C, it can be driven by the elastic restoring force of the elastic clamping member 11 itself.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the locking component 30 includes a guiding member 31 and a locking member 32. The guiding member 31 is used to guide the locking member 32 to a certain extent. The connection between the triggering component 20 and the locking component 30 is realized through the locking member 32, so as to lock the triggering component 20 through the locking component 30.

[0054] In some embodiments, the locking component 30 can be connected to the clamping component 10. Specifically, the guiding member 31 can be connected to the end of the elastic clamping member 11 away from the clamping portion 111.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the guide member 31 is provided with a guide portion 311. The guide portion 311 is provided with a first locking position A and a second locking position B. One end of the locking member 32 is connected to the triggering assembly 20, and the other end of the locking member 32 is movably disposed in the guide portion 311. Among them, one end of the locking member 32 and the triggering assembly 20 can be movably connected. Based on this setting, when the triggering assembly 20 moves between the first mating position C and the second mating position D, it will drive the locking member 32 to move, so that the other end of the locking member 32 moves relative to the guide portion 311. Among them, during the process of the locking member 32 moving relative to the guide portion 311, it can move to the first locking position A or the second locking position B, so that the locking member 32 can receive a locking force from the guide portion 311 at the first locking position A or the second locking position B, thereby preventing the locking member 32 from moving randomly. Furthermore, the triggering assembly 20 can be locked by the locking member 32 to prevent the triggering assembly 20 from moving randomly.

[0056] Based on the above setting, when the triggering assembly 20 is in the first mating position C, the other end of the locking member 32 is in the first locking position A. In this state, since the elastic clamping member 11 is in a released state, the elastic clamping member 11 will not generate an elastic restoring force or generate a small elastic restoring force on the triggering assembly 20. Through the locking action of the locking member 32 on the triggering assembly 20, the triggering assembly 20 can be effectively prevented from moving randomly, and further ensure that the elastic clamping member 11 will not deform randomly.

[0057] When the triggering assembly 20 moves from the first mating position C to the second mating position D, it drives the other end of the locking member 32 to move from the first locking position A to the second locking position B. It should be noted here that when the triggering assembly 20 is in the second mating position D, since the elastic clamping member 11 is in a clamped state, the elastic clamping member 11 will generate a large elastic restoring force on the triggering assembly 20, so that the triggering assembly 20 has a tendency to move from the second mating position D to the first mating position C. Thus, under the traction of the locking member 32, it will lock the triggering assembly 20 to prevent the triggering assembly 20 from moving randomly under the elastic restoring force of the elastic clamping member 11. At the same time, through the cooperation of the triggering assembly 20 in the second mating position D and the elastic clamping member 11, the elastic clamping member 11 can be restricted to prevent the elastic clamping member 11 from releasing the clamped state, thereby ensuring that the elastic clamping member 11 has a reliable clamping effect to prevent the second structural member clamped by the elastic clamping member 11 from disengaging.

[0058] The clamping device 01 in the embodiments of the present application does not adopt a positive pressure connection method, but a lateral clamping method, and the elastic clamping member 11 can be locked by the locking assembly 30, so as to effectively avoid the situation that the reaction force between two cooperating structural members is large due to the positive pressure connection method, resulting in a decrease in the preloading amount. And under the locking action of the locking assembly 30, the elastic clamping member 11 can also maintain a good clamping effect, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0059] In addition, compared with the situation where the overall thickness dimension of the whole machine is large due to the positive pressure connection method, the lateral clamping method adopted in the embodiments of the present application can also reduce the overall thickness of the whole machine and relieve the problem of large internal top force of the whole machine; it can also eliminate the need for glue dispensing treatment, thereby reducing costs, facilitating disassembly and assembly, and reducing the pressure of disassembly, assembly and after-sales; in addition, when the elastic clamping member 11 is in the released state, it is also convenient to assemble the second structural member to prevent the second structural member from being damaged during the assembly process and affecting the connection reliability.

[0060] In some embodiments, along the force application direction of the trigger assembly 20, the second mating position D is located downstream of the first mating position C, so that when the trigger assembly 20 is subjected to an external force, it can move from the first mating position C to the second mating position D, and during this movement, the trigger assembly 20 can also exert an extrusion and restraint effect on the elastic clamping member 11, so that the elastic clamping member 11 switches from the released state to the clamped state.

[0061] It should be noted here that the direction from the first mating position C to the second mating position D is not limited to being parallel to the force application direction, and can also be in a plane perpendicular to the force application direction, and the first mating position C and the second mating position D are spaced apart.

[0062] In some embodiments, along the force application direction of the trigger assembly 20, the second locking position B is located downstream of the first locking position A. In this way, when the trigger assembly 20 is subjected to an external force, during the movement from the first mating position C to the second mating position D, it can also drive the locking member 32 to move, so that the other end of the locking member 32 moves from the first locking position A to the second locking position B, so as to facilitate the other end of the locking member 32 to be locked at the second locking position B.

[0063] It should be noted here that the locking member 32 will be affected by the trigger assembly 20, so that the other end of the locking member 32 has a moving component in the force application direction.

[0064] In addition, along the first direction perpendicular to the force application direction, the second locking position B and the first locking position A are spaced apart. In this way, during the movement of the locking member 32, the other end of the locking member 32 can have a moving component in the first direction.

[0065] Based on the above arrangement, driven by the trigger assembly 20, one end of the locking member 32 moves with the trigger assembly 20 and can move relative to the trigger assembly 20 to prevent motion interference; the other end of the locking member 32 moves both in the force direction and in the first direction, so that the locking member 32 produces a planar motion, so as to switch the locking member 32 to a locked state.

[0066] In some embodiments, the guide portion 311 may include a guide hole or a guide groove. In addition, the guide portion 311 may also be other structures, which are not specifically limited here. The other end of the locking member 32 is movably disposed in the guide hole or the guide groove, and is limited by the side wall of the guide hole or the guide groove to ensure that the other end of the locking member 32 can move according to the preset trajectory.

[0067] like Figure 8 As shown, in some more specific embodiments, the guide hole or guide groove may include a side wall, a bottom wall and a connecting arc, wherein the side wall is adjacent to the first locking position A, the bottom wall is opposite to the second locking position B and is spaced apart, the side wall and the bottom wall are arranged at an angle, such as 90°, etc., and the connecting arc is connected between the side wall and the bottom wall and is tangent to the side wall and the bottom wall respectively. Based on this arrangement, when the other end of the locking member 32 moves from the first locking position A to the second locking position B, it will be limited by the side wall, the connecting arc and the bottom wall in turn, so that the other end of the locking member 32 can move from the first locking position A to the second locking position B more smoothly.

[0068] The first locking position A is located at one end of the guide portion 311, and a first protrusion 3111 may be provided on the side wall of the guide portion 311 and in an area away from the first locking position A. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the position of the first protrusion 3111 away from the first locking position A is the second locking position B. Based on this, the first locking position A and the second locking position B are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the guide portion 311, so that the locking member 32 switches between the first locking position A and the second locking position B during the movement relative to the guide portion 311.

[0069] In addition, through the setting of the first protrusion 3111, the other end of the locking member 32 can be blocked after the other end of the locking member 32 moves to the second locking position B, thereby preventing the locking member 32 from moving at will, and further locking the trigger assembly 20 through the locking member 32 to prevent the trigger assembly 20 from moving at will, and finally the elastic clamping member 11 is restrained through the trigger assembly 20 to prevent the elastic clamping member 11 from releasing the clamping state, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the clamping action.

[0070] In other embodiments, the side wall of the guiding portion 311 may also be provided with a groove, and the side wall of the groove can also block the other end of the locking member 32 to prevent the locking member 32 from moving randomly.

[0071] In order to enable the other end of the locking member 32 to switch more smoothly between the first locking position A and the second locking position B, the side wall of the guiding portion 311 may also be provided with a second protrusion 3112, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown. The second protrusion 3112 can play a guiding role in the other end of the locking member 32, so that the other end of the locking member 32 can move more smoothly to the second locking position B or move away from the second locking position B.

[0072] Wherein, in the force application direction of the triggering assembly 20, the second protrusion 3112 and the first protrusion 3111 are arranged at intervals. In this way, a channel can be formed between the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 to facilitate the passage of the other end of the locking member 32 without being blocked.

[0073] In addition, in the first direction perpendicular to the force application direction, the second protrusion 3112 is located on the side of the first protrusion 3111 away from the first locking position A, so that the second protrusion 3112 and the first protrusion 3111 are misaligned with each other. In this way, during the movement of the locking member 32 from the first locking position A to the second locking position B, it will touch the second protrusion 3112 and change the movement direction, so that the other end of the locking member 32 moves away from the first locking position A in the first direction and approaches the first protrusion 3111 in the direction opposite to the force application direction. The above-mentioned first direction can be any direction perpendicular to the force application direction. Exemplarily, the force application direction can be the vertical direction, and the first direction can be any horizontal direction, such as the left-right direction, the front-back direction, etc.

[0074] Based on the above settings, when the external acting force is removed, under the elastic restoring force of the elastic clamping member 11, the triggering assembly 20 will move a certain distance towards the first mating position C and drive the locking member 32 to move, so that the other end of the locking member 32 moves towards the first protrusion 3111 again, and finally the other end of the locking member 32 abuts against the side of the first protrusion 3111 away from the first locking position A. In this way, under the combined action of the first protrusion 3111 and the side wall of the guiding portion 311, the locking member 32 can be limited to prevent the locking member 32 from moving randomly, so as to realize the locking of the triggering assembly 20, and further ensure the reliable clamping effect of the elastic clamping member 11.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the locking member 32 may include a connecting rod 321, which is rotatably connected to the trigger assembly 20 to ensure that there is no motion interference between the connecting rod 321 and the trigger assembly 20. In addition, a guide end 322 may be provided at the end of the connecting rod 321, and the guide end 322 is guided and matched with the guide portion 311, so that a reliable connection relationship can be formed between the other end of the locking member 32 and the guide portion 311, and the reliability of relative movement can be ensured. In addition, the locking member 32 can also be connected to the trigger assembly 20 through the connecting rod 321, so as to achieve a locking effect on the trigger assembly 20.

[0076] In other embodiments, the locking member 32 may also be in other forms, such as a connecting column, a connecting block, a connecting plate, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0077] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the trigger assembly 20 may include a force-bearing member 21 and a limiting member 22, wherein the force-bearing member 21 may be provided with a force-bearing surface 2111 on one side along the force direction of the trigger assembly 20, and the force-bearing surface 2111 is used to withstand external forces, such as the extrusion force from the second structural member, or the extrusion force from other tools.

[0078] The limiting member 22 is arranged on the other side of the force-bearing member 21 away from the force-bearing surface 2111, and there is an installation space M between the limiting member 22 and the force-bearing member 21. Accordingly, the connecting rod 321 can be a concave rod, and the middle area of the concave rod can be rotatably arranged in the installation space M. In this way, the connecting rod 321 can be installed to the force-bearing member 21 through the limiting member 22, and it is ensured that the connecting rod 321 can rotate relative to the force-bearing member 21 to prevent motion interference.

[0079] refer to Figures 2 to 5 In order to improve the reliability and stability of the matching, the locking assembly 30 may include two guide members 31 arranged at intervals, and accordingly, the two ends of the concave rod may be provided with guide ends 322, each guide end 322 is matched with the guide portion 311 of the corresponding guide member 31. Based on this arrangement, the reliability of the matching can be improved by the matching of the two guide ends 322 with the guide portions 311 of the two guide members 31, and the force balance of the locking member 32 can also be improved to prevent the locking member 32 from being unbalanced in force and causing the trigger assembly 20 connected thereto to tilt; in addition, compared with a single matching connection method, the bearing capacity of the locking assembly 30 can also be improved to a certain extent.

[0080] In some more specific embodiments, the connecting rod 321 may be in a “J” shape. Of course, it may also be in other shapes, which are not specifically limited here.

[0081] The guiding member 31 is a plate-like member. Two guiding members 31 are arranged at intervals, and their respective guiding portions 311 are guiding holes. The guiding holes of the two are arranged opposite to each other. The guiding ends 322 at both ends of the connecting rod 321 are respectively assembled into the two guiding holes to ensure the reliability and stability of the cooperation.

[0082] Reference Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the clamping portion 111, the first mating position C, and the second mating position D may be sequentially arranged along the extending direction of the elastic clamping member 11, and in a second direction perpendicular to the force-receiving direction of the triggering assembly 20, the second mating position D is located on the side of the first mating position C away from the clamping portion 111. Based on this setting, when the elastic clamping member 11 is in the clamping state, the clamping portion 111 can be in abutment with the second structural member. At this time, the first mating position C and the second mating position D may both be spaced from and not in contact with the second structural member, thereby reducing the contact area between the elastic clamping member 11 and the second structural member and increasing the clamping pressure under the same clamping force, which can improve the clamping stability to a certain extent. The above-mentioned second direction may be any direction perpendicular to the force-receiving direction. Exemplarily, the force-receiving direction may be the vertical direction, and the second direction may be any horizontal direction, such as the left-right direction, the front-back direction, etc. In addition, the second direction may be the same as or different from the above-mentioned first direction.

[0083] Moreover, the above setting can also make the force-receiving member 21 of the triggering assembly 20, after being cooperatively connected with the elastic clamping member 11, increase the extrusion force on the elastic clamping member 11 as the force-receiving member 21 moves from the first mating position C to the second mating position D, so that the elastic clamping member 11 generates a greater elastic deformation and improves the clamping effect on the second structural member.

[0084] In some embodiments, the elastic clamping member 11 is further provided with a limiting portion 112 for limiting the triggering assembly 20. The limiting portion 112 is provided at one end of the clamping portion 111 away from the first mating position C. In this way, the limiting portion 112 can play a role in limiting the triggering assembly 20 to prevent the triggering assembly 20 from detaching from the elastic clamping member 11.

[0085] Exemplarily, the limiting portion 112 may be a bent structure that extends obliquely from the clamping portion 111 in a direction away from the second structural member and away from the first mating position C, so as to block the triggering assembly 20 and prevent the triggering assembly 20 from detaching from the elastic clamping member 11.

[0086] To improve the clamping effect, the clamping assembly 10 in the embodiments of the present application may include a plurality of elastic clamping members 11. The plurality of elastic clamping members 11 are centrally symmetrically distributed with respect to the center line parallel to the force application direction. In this way, a clamping space N can be formed by the plurality of elastic clamping members 11, and relatively large extrusion acting forces can be generated between the plurality of elastic clamping members 11 and the second structural member respectively through the clamping portions 111 around the second structural member, so as to form frictional acting forces. Under the action of the frictional acting forces, the second structural member is not easily separated from the clamping device 01, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0087] Optionally, one ends of the plurality of elastic clamping members 11 away from the clamping portions 111 may be connected together. Of course, the plurality of elastic clamping members 11 may also be divided into at least a pair, and one ends of the elastic clamping members 11 in each pair away from the clamping portions 111 may be connected together, so as to ensure that each elastic clamping member 11 can generate a certain elastic clamping acting force.

[0088] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 10 may include at least a pair of elastic clamping members 11. The clamping portions 111 of the two elastic clamping members 11 in each pair are opposite and spaced apart in a second direction perpendicular to the force application direction to form the clamping space N. Based on this setting, the clamping effect on the second structural member can be realized by the two elastic clamping members 11 in at least a pair, so as to improve the reliability of clamping.

[0089] To realize the cooperation between the trigger assembly 20 and the elastic clamping member 11, the trigger assembly 20 may have at least a pair of mating holes 2121. The elastic clamping member 11 is inserted through the corresponding mating hole 2121, and the trigger assembly 20 is movable along the extending direction of the elastic clamping member 11, so that the trigger assembly 20 can move to the first mating position C or the second mating position D.

[0090] Based on the above setting, through the mating holes 2121 of the trigger assembly 20, it can be cooperatively connected with the corresponding elastic clamping member 11. The elastic clamping member 11 can be restricted by the trigger assembly 20, and the trigger assembly 20 can move along the extending direction of the elastic clamping member 11, so that the trigger assembly 20 can switch positions between the first mating position C and the second mating position D to change the restricting force of the trigger assembly 20 on the elastic clamping member 11.

[0091] It should be noted here that the closer the trigger assembly 20 is to the second mating position D, the stronger its restricting effect on the elastic clamping member 11, and the greater the elastic deformation degree of the elastic clamping member 11.

[0092] Reference Figure 2, in some more specific embodiments, the clamping assembly 10 may include a pair of elastic clamping members 11. Correspondingly, the trigger assembly 20 may have a pair of mating holes 2121, such that the clamping assembly 10 can be cooperatively connected to the two elastic clamping members 11 in the pair through the two mating holes 2121 in the pair.

[0093] Wherein, as Figure 6 shown, the ends of the two elastic clamping members 11 in each pair, which are away from the clamping portion 111, may be connected, or the two elastic clamping members 11 in each pair may adopt an integral structure. Based on this, the two elastic clamping members 11 in each pair can form a U-shaped structure, and the clamping portion 111 is located at the opening of the U-shaped structure.

[0094] Of course, the clamping assembly 10 may further include multiple pairs of elastic clamping members 11. Correspondingly, the trigger assembly 20 may include multiple pairs of mating holes 2121, such that the clamping assembly 10 can be respectively and correspondingly cooperatively connected to the elastic clamping members 11 in the multiple pairs through the mating holes 2121 in the multiple pairs, so that the clamping assembly 10 can bind the multiple pairs of elastic clamping members 11.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the trigger assembly 20 may include a force-receiving member 21. The force-receiving member 21 includes a force-receiving plate 211 and at least one pair of mating plates 212. Each pair of mating plates 212 is respectively disposed on both sides of the force-receiving plate 211 in the second direction, and the mating plates 212 are provided with mating holes 2121. Thus, the mating holes 2121 of the mating plates 212 in each pair are cooperatively connected to the elastic clamping members 11 in each pair. Based on such a setting, the force-receiving surface 2111 of the force-receiving plate can bear an external acting force and move along the extending direction of the elastic clamping member 11, and the hole walls of the mating holes 2121 provided on each mating plate 212 can squeeze the corresponding elastic clamping member 11, so that the elastic clamping member 11 generates elastic deformation, so as to facilitate the elastic clamping member 11 to switch to the clamping state.

[0096] Based on the above clamping device 01, the embodiment of the present application also discloses an electronic device, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the disclosed electronic device includes a device body 03, a functional device 02, and the above clamping device 01. Wherein, the clamping device 01 may be disposed on the device body 03. The functional device 02 has a connection end 021, and the end surface of the connection end 021 abuts against the trigger assembly 20, and the clamping portion 111 abuts against the side surface of the connection end 021.

[0097] Wherein, the side surface of the connection end 021 may be provided with connection contacts, and the clamping portion 111 may abut against the connection contacts.

[0098] Based on the above settings, the functional device 02 can be reliably and stably mounted to the device body 03 through the clamping device 01. Moreover, by abutting the connection end 021 of the functional device 02 against the triggering assembly 20, a stable circuit can be formed by the abutting of the clamping portion 111 against the connection contact under the elastic force of the elastic clamping member 11, thereby realizing the stable transmission of signals. Exemplarily, the connection end 021 can have a conductive function and achieve conduction after contacting the triggering assembly 20.

[0099] It should be noted here that the device body 03 can be regarded as the above-mentioned first structural member, and the functional device 02 can be regarded as the above-mentioned second structural member. The functional device 02 can be connected to the device body 03 through the clamping device 01.

[0100] Exemplarily, the functional device 02 can be a camera, an antenna, a speaker, a flashlight, an infrared device, a grounding device, etc. Of course, it can also be other components, which are not specifically limited here.

[0101] In addition, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, an e-book, etc. Of course, it can also be other types, which are not specifically limited here.

[0102] Therefore, after the functional device 02 and the clamping device 01 are assembled in place, the clamping and locking functions can be realized, so that it can be applicable to functional devices 02 with strict requirements for installation compression amount, such as antennas, high-performance NFC, wireless charging devices, etc. Since there is no top force towards the functional device 02, the problem of top height will not occur.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the process of the clamping device 01 switching from the release state to the clamping state is as follows:

[0104] Before applying a force to the force-receiving member 21 of the triggering assembly 20, such as before the connection end 021 of the second structural member contacts the force-receiving surface 2111 of the force-receiving member 21, the elastic clamping member 11 is in the release state, so that there is a certain gap between the clamping portion 111 and the side portion of the second structural member (such as the connection contact, etc.). In this case, it is convenient for the assembly of the second structural member to prevent the elastic clamping member 11 from being damaged during the assembly of the second structural member.

[0105] As the second structural member moves toward the force-bearing member 21 and contacts the force-bearing surface 2111, the entire trigger assembly 20 is then driven to move synchronously; the movement of the trigger assembly 20 will produce an extrusion effect on the elastic clamping member 11, causing the elastic clamping member 11 to produce elastic deformation, so that the clamping portion 111 is close to the side of the second structural member, and finally clamps the side of the second structural member to form a stable mechanical connection and electrical connection to ensure stable signal transmission; at the same time, the movement of the trigger assembly 20 will also drive the locking member 32 to move, so that the guide of the locking member 32 The end head 322 moves from the first locking position A to the second locking position B, and under the guiding action of the second protrusion 3112, the guide end head 322 moves to the side of the first protrusion 3111 away from the first locking position A, so that the first protrusion 3111 limits the guide end head 322, thereby ensuring that the locking member 32 and the trigger assembly 20 will not move at will, and then the elastic clamping member 11 is restrained through the trigger assembly 20 to prevent the elastic clamping member 11 from deforming at will and causing the clamping portion 111 to detach from the second structural member.

[0106] Based on the above process, the second structural member can be clamped by the elastic clamping member 11, and the elastic clamping member 11 can be bound by the trigger assembly 20, and the trigger assembly 20 can be locked by the locking member 32, so that the lateral clamping of the second structural member can be achieved to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection, and no pushing force will be generated on the second structural member to move it away from the force-bearing surface 2111, so that the problem of lifting height will not occur.

[0107] In the present application embodiment, Figures 11 to 13 The process of the clamping device 01 switching from the clamping state to the releasing state is as follows:

[0108] In the initial state, the clamping device 01 is in a clamping state, that is, the second structural member is clamped by the elastic clamping member 11 to ensure a stable connection. When the second structural member needs to be disassembled, a force opposite to the force direction can be directly applied to the second structural member to separate the second structural member from the clamping device 01.

[0109] After the second structural member is detached from the clamping device 01, an extrusion force can be applied to the force-bearing surface 2111 of the trigger assembly 20, so that the trigger assembly 20 can move along the force direction again, and the trigger assembly 20 will drive the locking member 32 to move, so that the guide end 322 of the locking member 32 is detached from the second locking position B and moves toward the second protrusion 3112. As the guide end 322 moves, it will be guided by the second protrusion 3112 and move toward the first locking position A.

[0110] After the guiding end 322 is completely disengaged from the limiting effect of the first protrusion 3111 and no longer applies a force to the trigger assembly 20, at this time, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic clamping member 11, the trigger assembly 20 moves in the direction opposite to the force application direction. At the same time, the trigger assembly 20 drives the locking member 32 to move, so that the guiding end 322 of the locking member 32 moves towards the first locking position A and finally returns to the first locking position A. At this time, the elastic clamping member 11 returns to the released state to facilitate preparation for the next clamping of the second structural member.

[0111] In summary, the embodiment of the present application uses the clamping device 01 to achieve a reliable connection between the first structural member and the second structural member, and does not require dispensing, which is beneficial to cost reduction. Moreover, compared with the positive pressure elastic sheet connection method, it can alleviate the problems of large equipment thickness dimension and high top height on the basis of ensuring the stability of the electrical connection compression amount, which is beneficial to optimizing the appearance performance of the electronic device.

However, the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present application, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims, and all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
