[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric connectors, in particular to a flip-cover type electric connector which is easy to open. Background Art

[0002] FPC connectors are an essential component of electronic devices, ensuring electrical connections and signal transmission between circuits, between circuits and devices, and between devices. FPC connectors come in various styles, including flip-top and drawer types, allowing users to choose the right connector for their needs. Flip-top connectors securely secure circuit boards within their housings through the mating of a pressure plate with conductive and grounding terminals, ensuring a stable connection. This ensures that signals on the circuit board are accurately transmitted to other circuits or devices.

[0003] Existing flip-top electrical connectors use a combination of clips and slots to firmly press the circuit board to achieve a stable connection. However, since the clips and slots are rigidly connected, when securing or releasing the circuit board, the operator must forcefully pry the adapter plate to mate the clips with the slots. This operation is laborious and can easily damage or deform the adapter plate or conductive terminals, thus affecting the normal use of the electrical connector. Therefore, the present utility model provides a flip-top electrical connector that is easy to open. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The utility model provides a flip-cover type electrical connector which is easy to open, and solves the problem that a transfer plate or a conductive terminal is easily damaged or deformed when installing or removing a circuit board by replacing a fixing component.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following methods:

[0006] A flip-top electrical connector that is easy to open comprises a housing, a pressure plate, a conductive terminal and a ground terminal. A push button that can slide back and forth is mounted on the pressure plate. Both sides of the pressure plate are provided with latches that cooperate with the push button. A return spring is provided between the latch and the pressure plate. Pin holes that cooperate with the latch are provided on both sides of the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the push button is installed with a compression spring through a fixing pin, and the compression spring is arranged between the transfer plate and the push button.

[0008] Furthermore, both sides of the transfer plate and the push button are respectively provided with limiting grooves and limiting blocks for cooperating with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, guide structures cooperating with the latch are provided on both sides of the push button.

[0010] Further, a stepped shaft for cooperating with the return spring is provided on the outer side of the bolt.

[0011] Further, both ends of the bolt are arc-shaped.

[0012] Further, a handle for facilitating lifting is provided on one side of the push button.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: Through the cooperation of the slidable push button, bolt and return spring back and forth, the fixation or loosening between the rotating pressure plate and the housing is realized. When fixation is required, the sliding push button is slid to squeeze the bolt, so that the bolt slides to cooperate with the pin hole to fix the rotating pressure plate while compressing the return spring. When loosening is required, the push button is slid to release the bolt, and the bolt is pushed by the elastic force of the return spring, thereby releasing the rotating pressure plate.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0022] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and the specific embodiments.

[0023] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1-7 , a flip - cover type electrical connector that is easy to open in a specific implementation thereof includes a housing 1, a rotating pressure plate 2, conductive terminals 3, and ground - guiding terminals 4. By the cooperation of the conductive terminals 3 with the rotating pressure plate 2 and the housing 1, the circuit board is firmly pressed in the housing 1, enabling the circuit board to cooperate with the conductive terminals 3 and the ground - guiding terminals 4 to achieve the connection effect. A push button 5 that can slide back and forth is installed on the rotating pressure plate 2. Plug pins 6 for cooperating with the push button 5 are provided on both sides of the rotating pressure plate 2. The rotating pressure plate 2 is provided with through - holes for accommodating the plug pins 6, and the plug pins 6 are fixed in the through - holes by threaded sleeves. A return spring 7 is provided between the plug pins 6 and the rotating pressure plate 2. Pin holes 8 for cooperating with the plug pins 6 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. When it is necessary to fix the rotating pressure plate 2 on the housing 1, the push button 5 is pushed to squeeze one end of the plug pin 6, causing the plug pin 6 to slide outwards under force to cooperate with the pin hole 8, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the rotating pressure plate 2. At the same time as the plug pin 6 slides outwards, the return spring 7 provided between the plug pin 6 and the rotating pressure plate 2 is compressed by the plug pin 6. When it is necessary to release the rotating pressure plate 2, the push button 5 is pushed to move in the reverse direction, causing the push button 5 to release the extrusion on the plug pin 6. The plug pin 6 slides inwards through the resilience of the return spring 7, thereby disengaging from the pin hole 8 and releasing the fixing effect on the rotating pressure plate 2. Making the fixing or loosening between the rotating pressure plate 2 and the housing 1 more convenient and rapid, and the rotating pressure plate 2 can be fixed or loosened without the need to swing it forcefully. Avoiding possible damage to the electrical connector when fixing or loosening the rotating pressure plate 2. Thereby improving the service life and convenience of the electrical connector.

[0024] Furthermore, the push button 5 is installed with a compression spring 10 through a fixing pin 9, and the compression spring 10 is provided between the rotating pressure plate 2 and the push button 5. The design of the compression spring 10 enables the push button 5 to maintain cooperation with the plug pin 6, avoiding the push button 5 from sliding due to vibration or external force, releasing the plug pin 6, and thus causing the rotating pressure plate 2 to disengage from the housing 1 and affecting the normal use of the electrical connector. The fixing pin 9 passes through the push button 5 and the compression spring 10 and is fixed on the rotating pressure plate 2, and the moving distance of the push button 5 and the compression spring 10 is restricted by a round shaft at one end, avoiding the push button 5 being pushed by the compression spring 10 to disengage from the rotating pressure plate 2. Thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire connector structure.

[0025] Furthermore, limiting grooves 11 and limiting blocks 12 for mutual cooperation are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating pressure plate 2 and the push button 5. Through the cooperation of the limiting grooves 11 and the limiting blocks 12, the rotating pressure plate 2 and the push button 5 are firmly fixed together, enabling the push button 5 to only slide along the limiting grooves 11, ensuring that there will be no loosening or misalignment during the operation process. The shape and size of the limiting grooves 11 fit the limiting blocks 12 to ensure that the limiting blocks 12 can smoothly slide in and out. Thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0026] Further, guiding structures 13 for cooperating with the latch 6 are provided on both sides of the push button 5. Through the guiding structures 13 at both ends of the push button 5, the latch 6 can gradually enter the guiding state when contacting the push button 5, thereby ensuring that the latch 6 moves smoothly under the action of the push button 5. The design of the guiding structure 13 not only improves the overall reliability but also reduces wear or breakage caused by improper operation. Thus, the service life and stability of the electrical connector are improved.

[0027] Further, a stepped shaft 14 for cooperating with the return spring 7 is provided on the outer side of the latch 6. The design of the stepped shaft 14 reduces the contact area between the latch 6 and the rotating pressure plate 2, reduces the frictional force, and thus improves the movement flexibility of the latch 6. And through the cooperation with the return spring 7, it is ensured that the latch 6 can quickly return to the initial position after being acted upon by an external force. This design not only improves the response speed of the device but also extends the service life of the latch 6.

[0028] Further, both ends of the latch 6 are arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design enables the latch 6 to adapt to the thrust in all directions, eliminating the need to additionally increase the guiding structure 13 and reducing the processing difficulty. In addition, the arc design of the latch 6 also has significant anti-fatigue characteristics. Since the stress is evenly distributed on the arc surface, the latch 6 is not prone to cracks and fractures during long-term use. This design extends the service life of the latch 6, reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and thus reduces the overall operating cost. And it is smoother when entering the pin hole 8.

[0029] Further, a handle 15 for facilitating lifting is provided on one side of the push button 5. By pushing the handle 15 to move the push button 5, the rotating pressure plate 2 can be quickly lifted after the latch 6 disengages from the pin hole 8, improving the work efficiency. The handle 15 and the push button 5 are integrally formed, making the structure more compact, reducing the number of parts, and thus reducing the production cost. In addition, the shape of the handle 15 is optimized and conforms to the ergonomic principle, making the operator more comfortable and fluent during use.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: Through the cooperation of the slidable push button 5, the latch 6, and the return spring 7, the fixation or release between the rotating pressure plate 2 and the housing 1 is achieved. When fixation is required, the sliding push button 5 is pushed to squeeze the latch 6, so that the latch 6 slides and cooperates with the pin hole 8 to fix the rotating pressure plate 2 while compressing the return spring 7. When release is required, the sliding push button 5 is released to release the latch 6, and the latch 6 is pushed by the elastic force of the return spring 7, thereby releasing the rotating pressure plate 2. Making the tightening and loosening between the rotating pressure plate 2 and the housing 1 more convenient and fast, avoiding unnecessary damage to the electrical connector. Thus, the service life and convenience of the electrical connector are improved.

[0031] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model is disclosed above in the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, when making some changes or modifications using the above-disclosed technical content to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes, but as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technology of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
