Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A connector is a component that people often come into contact with. It is used to build a communication bridge between a blocked or isolated circuit in a circuit, so that the current can flow and the circuit can achieve the intended function. A connector is an indispensable component in electronic devices. With different application objects, frequencies, powers, application environments, etc., there are various forms of connectors.

[0003] The existing connectors include a board end and a wire end. When in use, the wire end is usually inserted into the board end. However, since it is directly inserted by the user, the user judges whether the insertion is in place by experience, resulting in the insertion depth of the wire end being uncontrollable. Furthermore, it may cause damage to the terminals due to excessive insertion depth by the user, or there may be no electrical connection or unstable connection between the board end and the wire end due to too small insertion depth. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a connector, which aims to solve the technical problem that the existing connector cannot accurately control the insertion depth during insertion.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, a connector is provided, including:

[0006] A board end component, including a conductive position;

[0007] A wire end component for connecting with the board end component. The wire end component includes a bracket, a wire end part and a conductive elastic sheet. The conductive elastic sheet is installed on the wire end part. The bracket is rotatably connected to the wire end part. The rotation of the bracket drives the wire end part to move towards the board end component, so that the conductive elastic sheet abuts against the conductive position.

[0008] Further, a rotation guiding groove is arranged on the bracket. The rotation guiding groove is arc-shaped. The board end component has a guiding column that slidably cooperates with the rotation guiding groove.

[0009] Further, the bracket has a rotation center. The rotation guiding groove has an initial position and an end position. On the trajectory from the initial position to the end position, the distance between the rotation guiding groove and the rotation center becomes smaller and smaller.

[0010] Further, let the distance between the rotation center and the initial position be L1, and let the distance between the rotation center and the end position be L2. The distance difference between L1 and L2 is less than or equal to the maximum deformation distance value of the conductive elastic sheet.

[0011] Further, an avoidance groove for the guiding post to pass through is formed on the bracket, and the setting position of the avoidance groove corresponds to the initial position.

[0012] Further, the wire end assembly further includes a push rod component, and the bracket further includes a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the push rod component.

[0013] Further, the wire end assembly further includes a support member, and the support member is provided with a push-pull guiding groove, and the push rod component is slidably arranged in the push-pull guiding groove.

[0014] Further, the push-pull guiding groove includes a first position and a second position. When the push rod component moves from the first position to the second position, the bracket is pushed to rotate. In the orthographic projection direction, the distance between the first position and the rotation center is smaller than the distance between the second position and the rotation center.

[0015] Further, the push-pull guiding groove further includes a clamping portion, and the clamping portion is arranged close to the second position.

[0016] Further, the board end assembly includes a PCB board and a female socket. The female socket is connected to the PCB board. A guiding piece extends out from the side of the PCB board facing away from the female socket, and the wire end component is provided with a guiding groove opening slidably matched with the guiding piece.

[0017] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention will have the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In the connector of this embodiment, due to the provision of the bracket, when the board end assembly and the wire end assembly are plugged, the user pushes the bracket to rotate, thereby driving the wire end component and the conductive elastic sheet to move close to the board end assembly. When the bracket rotates in place, the conductive elastic sheet abuts against the conductive position, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the board end assembly and the wire end assembly. In this application, the distance that the conductive elastic sheet moves relative to the conductive position is controlled by setting the bracket, that is, the insertion depth of the wire end assembly is controlled. It is not necessary for the user to judge whether the insertion depth is appropriate by experience. The user only needs to rotate the bracket in place, which is stable and reliable.

[0031] For the convenience of understanding the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0032] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for illustrative purposes.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this utility model belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 - 9 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a connector 100, which includes a board-end component 110 and a wire-end component 120. The board-end component 110 includes a conductive position 1111; the wire-end component 120 is used to connect with the board-end component 110. The wire-end component 120 includes a bracket 121, a wire-end part 122 and a conductive elastic piece 123. The conductive elastic piece 123 is installed on the wire-end part 122. The bracket 121 is rotatably connected to the wire-end part 122. The rotation of the bracket 121 drives the wire-end part 122 to move towards the board-end component 110 so that the conductive elastic piece 123 abuts against the conductive position 1111. Exemplarily, when the bracket 121 is not rotated, it is defined that the position of the bracket 121 at this time is 0°. In this embodiment, when the board-end component 110 and the wire-end component 120 are completely connected, the bracket 121 rotates 45° at this time. Of course, in specific applications, the rotation angle of the bracket 121 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative solution, the bracket 121 can also rotate 30° or rotate 60°.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 , in the connector 100 of this embodiment, due to the setting of the bracket 121, when the board-end component 110 and the wire-end component 120 are plugged in, the user pushes the bracket 121 to rotate, thereby driving the wire-end part 122 and the conductive elastic piece 123 to move closer to the board-end component 110. When the bracket 121 rotates in place, the conductive elastic piece 123 abuts against the conductive position 1111, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the board-end component 110 and the wire-end component 120. In this application, the distance that the conductive elastic piece 123 moves relative to the conductive position 1111 is controlled by setting the bracket 121, that is, the insertion depth of the wire-end component 120 is controlled. It is not necessary for the user to judge whether the insertion depth is appropriate by experience. The user only needs to rotate the bracket 121 in place, which is stable and reliable.

[0036] Please refer toFigure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , in a possible implementation, a rotation guiding groove 1211 is provided on the bracket 121. The rotation guiding groove 1211 is arc-shaped, and the plate end assembly 110 has a guiding post that slidably cooperates with the rotation guiding groove 1211. Exemplarily, when the bracket 121 rotates, it drives the rotation guiding groove 1211 to slide relative to the guiding post, thereby driving the wire end component 122 and the conductive elastic piece 123 to move towards the direction close to the plate end assembly 110.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , in a possible implementation, the bracket 121 has a rotation center X, and the rotation guiding groove 1211 has an initial position 1211A and an end position 1211B. On the trajectory from the initial position 1211A to the end position 1211B, the distance between the rotation guiding groove 1211 and the rotation center X becomes smaller and smaller. Exemplarily, when the guiding post is located at the initial position 1211A, the bracket 121 is at the 0° position at this time. When the guiding post is located at the end position 1211B, the bracket 121 is at the 45° position at this time. In addition, it should be noted that the function of the rotation guiding groove 1211 is to guide the guiding post and apply pressure to the guiding post through the rotation guiding groove 1211 during the rotation of the bracket 121, so that the wire end component 122 moves vertically downward, so that the conductive elastic piece 123 and the conductive position 1111 are in contact.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , in a possible implementation, let the distance between the rotation center X and the initial position 1211A be L1, and let the distance between the rotation center X and the end position 1211B be L2. The distance difference between L1 and L2 is less than or equal to the maximum deformation distance value of the conductive elastic piece 123. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the difference between L1 - L2 is 0.5 mm. That is to say, when the guiding post moves from the initial position 1211A to the end position 1211B, the wire end component 122 and the conductive elastic piece 123 move vertically downward by 0.5 mm. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the maximum deformation amount of the conductive elastic piece 123 is set to 0.5 mm.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3, in a possible implementation, an avoidance groove 1212 for the guiding post to pass through is formed on the bracket 121, and the setting position of the avoidance groove 1212 corresponds to the initial position 1211A. Exemplarily, when the plate end assembly 110 and the wire end assembly 120 need to be connected, the guiding post enters the rotary guiding groove 1211 through the avoidance groove 1212. The avoidance groove 1212 is obtained by a bending process. That is to say, there is no break in the rotary guiding groove 1211 on the bracket 121, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the bracket 121. If there is a break in the rotary guiding groove 1211, its structural strength is not high. After long-term use, the rotary guiding groove 1211 will be deformed, and at this time, the moving distance of the conductive elastic piece 123 will change, and the purpose of accurately controlling the moving distance of the conductive elastic piece 123 cannot be achieved.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , in a possible implementation, the wire end assembly 120 further includes a push rod member 124, and the bracket 121 further includes a rotating shaft 1213. The rotating shaft 1213 is rotatably connected to the push rod member 124. Exemplarily, when the user pushes the push rod member 124, the push rod member 124 drives the bracket 121 to rotate around the rotation center X. It can be understood that the rotating shaft 1213 and the rotary guiding groove 1211 are respectively located on both sides of the rotation center X.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , in a possible implementation, the wire end assembly 120 further includes a support member 125. The support member 125 is provided with a push-pull guiding groove 1251, and the push rod member 124 is slidably disposed in the push-pull guiding groove 1251. Exemplarily, the push-pull guiding groove 1251 is used to control the moving direction of the push rod member 124, so that each time the user pushes the push rod member 124 to move, the bracket 121 rotates in a specific direction.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8, in a possible implementation, the push-pull guide groove 1251 includes a first position 1251A and a second position 1251B. When the push rod member 124 moves from the first position 1251A to the second position 1251B, the push bracket 121 rotates. In the orthographic projection direction, the distance between the first position 1251A and the rotation center X is less than the distance between the second position 1251B and the rotation center X. Exemplarily, the push-pull guide groove 1251 is inclined when supported by the support member 125. When the bracket 121 is at the 0° position, the push rod member 124 is at the first position 1251A at this time. When the bracket 121 is at the 45° position, the push rod member 124 is at the second position 1251B at this time. The first position 1251A and the second position 1251B are respectively located at both ends of the push-pull guide groove 1251. In short, the user only needs to push the push rod member 124 from the first position 1251A to the second position 1251B, without considering other factors, which is convenient for the user to use.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 9 , in a possible implementation, the push-pull guide groove 1251 further includes a clamping portion 1251C, and the clamping portion 1251C is arranged close to the second position 1251B. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the clamping portion 1251C is provided as a protrusion protruding from the push-pull guide groove 1251. Its function is to provide the user with a sense of being in place. When the user moves the push rod member 124 to the second position 1251B, the push rod member 124 abuts against the clamping portion 1251C, causing the resistance to suddenly increase. At this time, the user can intuitively feel the resistance encountered, which is convenient for the user to know that the push rod member 124 has reached the position.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , in a possible implementation, the board end assembly 110 includes a PCB board 111 and a female socket 112. The female socket 112 is connected to the PCB board 111. A guide piece 1121 extends from the side of the PCB board 111 facing away from the female socket 112. The wire end member 122 is provided with a guide slot 1221 that slidably cooperates with the guide piece 1121. Exemplarily, the sliding cooperation between the guide piece 1121 and the guide slot 1221 is used to ensure that the wire end member 122 always moves relative to the PCB board 111 in the vertical direction. The conductive position 1111 is arranged on the PCB board 111.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 5 - 8 , the usage process of the connector 100 of the present application:

[0046] First step, the user takes the wire end assembly 120, inserts the guide piece 1121 into the guide slot opening 1221, and continues to press down until the guide post enters the initial position 1211A of the rotation guide groove 1211 through the avoidance groove 1212;

[0047] Second step, the user pushes the push rod component 124, moving the push rod component 124 from the first position 1251A to the second position 1251B. At this time, the bracket 121 rotates 45°, and the wire end component 122 moves vertically downward by 0.5 mm. At this time, the conductive elastic piece 123 abuts against the conductive position 1111.

[0048] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent application. It should be noted 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 patent of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
