[0026] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present disclosure can be completely conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0027] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application should have the ordinary meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0028] The drawings included in the specification and constituting a part of the specification show the embodiments of the present application, and together with the general description of the present application given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, are used to explain the principles of the present application.
[0029] It should also be understood that although the present application has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art can surely implement many other equivalent forms of the present application, which have the features as described in the claims and thus are all within the protection scope defined thereby.
[0030] When combined with the accompanying drawings, the above and other aspects, features, and advantages of the present application will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description.
[0031] Specific embodiments of the present application will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the described embodiments are merely examples of the present application, which can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present application with unnecessary or redundant details. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but are merely used as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present application in substantially any suitable detailed structure in a variety of ways.
[0032] This specification may use the phrase "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment", or "in other embodiments", each of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.
[0033] The inventors of the present application have found that after a user purchases a laptop computer, when a certain functional module is damaged or the user wants to upgrade a certain functional module, such as: the CPU module or the GPU module, due to the inconvenience of disassembling between the functional module and the motherboard, it is time-consuming and laborious to disassemble or install the functional module, and even the entire motherboard needs to be replaced.
[0034] Refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 6 Referring to the accompanying drawings, Embodiment 1 of the present application provides a connection component 17. The connection component 17 can relatively fixedly connect a plurality of carriers 1. The connection component 17 includes: a data connection member 2 having a first surface 21, and a plurality of first data connection portions 23 are provided on the first surface 21. The plurality of first data connection portions 23 are used to establish data connection with a plurality of second data connection portions 11 in the plurality of carriers 1. The data signals transmitted by the second data connection portions 11 of each carrier 1 are the same or different; the first surface 21 can cover the plurality of second data connection portions 11 in the plurality of carriers 1.
[0035] The carrier 1 includes, but is not limited to, the circuit board of a laptop computer, and can also be the circuit board of a mobile phone, the circuit board of a tablet computer, and the circuit board in a television, etc., for electronic devices that require signal connection and detachable fixation. Therefore, the connection component 17 of the present application can be applied to electronic devices such as laptop computers, mobile phones, tablet computers, and televisions.
[0036] As shown in the attached Figure 2 or the attached Figure 3As shown in the figure, to save space, the data connector 2 can be a plate-like structure. One side of the data connector 2 in its thickness direction has a first surface 21, and a plurality of first data connection parts 23 are provided on the first surface 21. The number of the first data connection parts 23 here can be set according to the number of carriers 1 to be connected. For example, when two carriers 1 need to be connected, two first data connection parts 23 can be provided on the first surface 21; when three carriers 1 need to be connected, three first data connection parts 23 can be provided on the first surface 21. The number of carriers 1 to be connected is the same as the number of the first data connection parts 23 on the first surface 21. The area of each first data connection part 23 can be the same or different, and the area size of each first data connection part 23 is set according to the area size of the corresponding second data connection part 11. When connecting, the first surface 21 can cover a plurality of second data connection parts 11 among a plurality of carriers 1, that is, the first surface 21 is surface-connected to a plurality of carriers 1 at the same time, and the area of the positive projection of the first surface 21 on a plurality of carriers 1 is greater than or equal to the total area of the positive projections of a plurality of carriers 1 on the first surface 21. Each first data connection part 23 can correspond to and be data-connected to one second data connection part 11 of one carrier 1.
[0037] The first data connection part 23 can include a plurality of signal connectors arranged at intervals. The second data connection part 11 can include a plurality of signal connection parts corresponding to the plurality of signal connectors. Here, the signal connectors can be signal pins, and the signal pins can be spring pins. The signal connection parts can be signal contacts. The first data connection part 23 and the second data connection part 11 can achieve data connection by means of abutment. In addition, the signal connectors here can also be signal connection columns, and the signal connection parts can also be jacks, etc. The first data connection part 23 and the second data connection part 11 can also achieve data connection by means of plugging and unplugging.
[0038] The second data connection parts 11 of each carrier 1 connected by the connection component 17 here are used to transmit data signals that are the same or different, that is: different carriers 1 can carry data signals from different chips, and these carriers 1 can transmit different types of data signals according to the different chips they carry. For example, the data signal transmitted by the second data connection part 11 of the first carrier can be the data signal generated by the graphics processing unit GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), the data signal transmitted by the second data connection part 11 of the second carrier can be the data signal generated by the central processing unit CPU (Central Processing Unit) or GPU, the data signal transmitted by the second data connection part 11 of the third carrier can be the data signal generated by the neural processing unit NPU (Neural Processing Unit) or CPU or GPU, and the data signal transmitted by the second data connection part 11 of the fourth carrier can be the data signal generated by the random access memory RAM (Random Access Memory), NPU, CPU or GPU; or the second data connection parts 11 of multiple carriers 1 all transmit the data signals generated by the GPU; or the second data connection parts 11 of multiple carriers 1 all transmit the data signals generated by the GPU. The definition of the same or different data signals here can be as follows: If the data signals come from the same chip (such as GPU, CPU or NPU), then these data signals are considered the same, and if the data signals come from different chips, then these data signals are considered different.
[0039] The connection component 17 provided in this application includes a data connection member 2. The multiple first data connection parts 23 on the first surface 21 of the data connection member 2 can simultaneously establish data connections with the second data connection parts 11 of multiple carriers 1 to connect the multiple second data connection parts 11. And while establishing the data connection, since the multiple first data connection parts 23 belong to the first surface 21 of the same data connection member 2, multiple carriers 1 are relatively detachably fixed. When the user needs to replace or upgrade the functional components on a certain carrier 1, the corresponding carrier 1 can be conveniently detached or installed through the connection component 17 without re-welding the solder feet on the carrier 1, etc.
[0040] In some modified implementation manners of the first aspect of this application, the first surface 21 is used to abut against multiple carriers 1, and the multiple first data connection parts 23 are multiple first plate bodies 24; when the first surface 21 abuts against multiple carriers 1, the orthographic projection area of the multiple first plate bodies 24 on the multiple second data connection parts 11 of the multiple carriers 1 is the first area, and the projection area of the multiple second data connection parts 11 of the multiple carriers 1 on the multiple first plate bodies 24 is the second area, and the first area is the same as the second area.
[0041] Refer to the appendixFigure 1 and the attached Figure 2 , a plurality of first data connection parts 23 are a plurality of first plate bodies 24. The areas of the plurality of first plate bodies 24 may be the same or different. The area of the first plate body 24 can be set according to the area of the corresponding second data connection part 11, and the plurality of first plate bodies 24 and the plurality of second data connection parts 11 can be in one-to-one correspondence. The number of the first plate bodies 24 can be determined according to the number of the second data connection parts 11. For example, when the number of the second data connection parts 11 is two, the number of the first plate bodies 24 can also be two; when the number of the second data connection parts 11 is three, the number of the first plate bodies 24 can be three. When the first surface 21 abuts against the plurality of carriers 1, the orthographic projection area of each first plate body 24 on the second data connection part 11 of the corresponding carrier 1 and the orthographic projection area of the second data connection part 11 of the carrier 1 on the corresponding first plate body 24 can be the same. The first plate body 24 and the second data connection part 11 of the carrier 1 can be in surface-to-surface contact, ensuring the consistency of the projection area between the first plate body 24 and the second data connection part 11, not only improving the stability and reliability of signal transmission, but also having better flexibility and adaptability.
[0042] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 17 may further include: a first pressing member 3 and a second pressing member 4; the first pressing member 3 has a first pressing surface 31, and the orthographic projection area of the first pressing surface 31 on the second pressing member 4 covers at least part of the area of the first data connection part 23 and at least part of the area of the second data connection part 11; the second pressing member 4 has a second pressing surface 41, and the orthographic projection area of the second pressing surface 41 on the first pressing member 3 covers at least part of the area of the first data connection part 23 and at least part of the area of the second data connection part 11; wherein, the orthographic projection area of the first pressing surface 31 on the second pressing member 4 and the orthographic projection area of the second pressing surface 41 on the first pressing member 3 at least partially overlap; the first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4 are detachably connected to provide a pressing force for the data connection member 2 and the carrier 1.
[0043] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , in order to save occupied space, the first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4 can be in a plate-like structure, and the first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4 can be plate-like structures of any shape, such as square, rectangular or polygonal plate-like structures. The first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4 are relatively disposed on the opposite surfaces of the data connection member 2 and the carrier 1 along the thickness direction of the data connection member 2.
[0044] As shown in the attached Figure 1As shown, the orthographic projection area of the first pressing surface 31 on the second pressing member 4 covers at least part of the area of the first data connection portion 23 of each carrier 1 and at least part of the area of the second data connection portion 11, that is: the first pressing surface 31 can cover part or all of the area of the first data connection portion 23 of the carrier 1, and at the same time, the first pressing surface 31 can cover part or all of the area of the second data connection portion 11. The orthographic projection area of the second pressing surface 41 on the first pressing member 3 covers at least part of the area of the first data connection portion 23 of each carrier 1 and at least part of the area of the second data connection portion 11, that is: the second pressing surface 41 can cover part or all of the area of the second data connection, and at the same time, the second pressing surface 41 can cover part or all of the area of the second data connection portion 11. The orthographic projection area of the first pressing surface 31 on the second pressing member 4 and the orthographic projection area of the second pressing surface 41 on the first pressing member 3 partially overlap. For example, the first pressing member 3 can be a long strip-shaped plate structure, and the second pressing member 4 is a square plate structure with an area larger than that of the first pressing member 3 and the orthographic projection area on the first pressing member 3 can completely cover the first pressing member 3; the orthographic projection area of the first pressing surface 31 on the second pressing member 4 and the orthographic projection area of the second pressing surface 41 on the first pressing member 3 completely overlap. For example, the first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4 can be two square plate structures with the same area arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the data connection member 2.
[0045] The first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4 are detachably connected, and the connection method here can be bolt connection, mortise and tenon connection, snap connection or other connection methods that can achieve detachable connection. By applying a pressing force to the data connection member 2 and the carrier 1 through the first pressing member 3 and the second pressing member 4, the data connection member 2 can be more closely attached to the carrier 1, and the data connection between the first data connection portion 23 and the second data connection portion 11 can be made more stable.
[0046] In some embodiments, the data connection member 2 has a second surface 22 opposite to the first surface 21; a plurality of elastic members 5 can be arranged on the first surface 21 or the second surface 22 of the data connection member 2, or can be arranged on the first surface 21 and the second surface 22; wherein, the plurality of elastic members 5 on the first surface 21 and the plurality of elastic members 5 on the second surface 22 are used to achieve elastic abutment.
[0047] Refer to the appendix Figure 3, the elastic member 5 can be deformed when under pressure and return to its original shape after the pressure is removed, so as to maintain continuous pressure contact. The elastic member 5 can be a spring needle, a spring sheet or other elastic metal parts. The first surface 21 or the second surface 22 of the data connector 2 can be provided with multiple elastic members 5, or the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 can be provided with multiple elastic members 5 of the same or different numbers. The multiple first elastic members 515 on the first surface 21 are used to elastically abut against the multiple second data connection parts 11 to achieve data connection. By arranging the elastic members 5 on the first surface 21, the data connector 2 and the second data connection parts 11 can be kept well connected even in the case of slight vibration, thereby achieving stable data transmission. The multiple elastic members 5 on the second surface 22 are used to abut against the first clamping member 3, which can play a buffering effect in the case of slight vibration.
[0048] In addition, as attached Figure 1 or attached Figure 5 As shown, elastic members 5 can also be provided on two surfaces in the thickness direction of the first plate body 24, and the number of elastic members 5 on the two surfaces can be the same or different. The elastic member 5 on one side of the first plate body is used to elastically abut against the second data connection part 11 to achieve data connection, and can maintain a good connection between the first plate body 24 and the second data connection part 11 even under slight vibration, thereby achieving stable data transmission. The elastic member 5 on the other side of the second plate body 24 is used to abut against the signal transmission board 18 to ensure good signal transmission under slight vibration. The signal transmission board 18 can connect the data signals of multiple first plates 24.
[0049] In some embodiments, the elastic member 5 of the first surface 21 is a first elastic member 515, and the first elastic member 515 includes: a first elastic arm 511, which forms a first angle α with the first surface 21; a first fixed end 512, which is provided at one end of the first elastic arm 511 and fixed to the first surface 21; and a first contact end 513, which is located at the end of the first elastic arm 511 opposite to the first fixed end 512, and a first preset distance is provided between the first contact end 513 and the first surface 21; the first elastic arm 511 can be deformed so that the first contact end 513 is close to or away from the first surface Surface 21; the elastic member 5 of the second surface 22 is a second elastic member 525, and the second elastic member 525 includes: a second elastic arm 521, forming a second angle β with the second surface 22; a second fixed end 522, which is arranged at one end of the second elastic arm 521 and fixed to the second surface 22; and a second contact end 523, which is located at the end of the second elastic arm 521 opposite to the second fixed end 522, and a second preset distance is set between the second contact end 523 and the second surface 22; the second elastic arm 521 can be deformed to make the second contact end 523 approach or move away from the second surface 22.
[0050] ReferenceFigure 3 -Attached Figure 5 , one end of the first elastic arm 511 is a first fixed end 512, and the first fixed end 512 can be fixed to the first surface 21 by welding, and the other end of the first elastic arm 511 is a first contact end 513, and the first contact end 513 and the first data connection part 23 can be in point contact, surface contact or line contact. The first elastic arm 511 forms a first angle α with the first surface 21, and the first angle α can be any angle, such as: 20°, 30° or 35°. When the first elastic member 51 is subjected to pressure, its first elastic arm 511 can produce elastic deformation to increase or decrease the first angle α between the first elastic arm 511 and the first surface 21, so that the first contact end 513 is close to or away from the first surface 21. In addition, the width of the first elastic arm 511 can decrease from the first fixed end 512 to the first contact end 513, and the narrower width portion is more likely to deform. Therefore, when the first elastic arm 511 is subjected to external force, the structure with gradually narrowing width helps to increase its elastic deformation ability, thereby improving the elastic performance. Among them, the first contact end 513 with the thinnest width can better adapt to the slight changes of the first surface 21, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the contact.
[0051] One end of the second elastic arm 521 is a second fixed end 522, which can be fixed to the second surface 22 by welding, and the other end of the second elastic arm 521 is a second contact end 523, which can be in point contact, surface contact or line contact with the first pressing member 3 or the signal transmission plate 18. The second elastic arm 521 forms a second angle β with the second surface 22, and the second angle β can be any angle, such as 20°, 30° or 35°. When the second elastic member 52 is subjected to pressure, its second elastic arm 521 can produce elastic deformation to increase or decrease the second angle β between the second elastic arm 521 and the second surface 22, so that the second contact end 523 is close to or away from the second surface 22. In addition, the width of the second elastic arm 521 can decrease from the second fixed end 522 to the second contact end 523, and the narrower width portion is more likely to deform. Therefore, when the second elastic arm 521 is subjected to external force, the structure with gradually narrowing width helps to increase its elastic deformation ability, thereby improving the elastic performance. Among them, the second contact end 523 with the thinnest width can better adapt to the slight changes of the first pressing member 3 or the signal transmission board 18, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the contact.
[0052] like Figure 8As shown, one of the carriers 1 is the main board body, and the other carriers 1 are sub-board bodies separated from the main board body. The main board body may be provided with at least one receiving opening for receiving one or more sub-board bodies. The second data connection portion 11 of the main board body may be disposed around the receiving opening.
