Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric connectors, and in particular relates to a spring assembly. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electrical connectors, spring clips are widely used in electronic communications equipment, for example, to transmit antenna signals or signals between electronic components and the motherboard, as well as to contact the middle frame or back cover. As the link for signal transmission, the spring clip not only transmits antenna signals and electronic components to the motherboard, but also provides contact with the middle frame or back cover, ensuring signal stability and efficiency. Wire clamps, on the other hand, primarily secure coaxial cables to PCBs for routing, providing a solid support for the coaxial cable's placement and routing. For coaxial cables with grounding rings, the wire clamp also serves as a grounding device, ensuring the device's electromagnetic compatibility and safety.

[0003] However, due to the limited space on mobile phone motherboards and the increasing demand for product miniaturization, the requirements for component dimensions are also shrinking. Traditional spring clip structures are not only large in size but also often employ a split design, requiring two sets of molds to produce the spring clip and wire clip, resulting in high costs and occupying a large amount of internal motherboard space. Therefore, how to fully utilize the horizontal layout area of the PCB board and further reduce the horizontal dimensions of components has become a pressing issue. Furthermore, consumer demand for diversified product functions and expectations for cost control have also placed higher demands on the design of spring clips and wire clips. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multifunctional counter-pressure spring assembly to solve the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] Furthermore, both sides of the support portion extend outward to form limited support arms.

[0008] Furthermore, both sides of the bottom plate are bent vertically downward and extended to form protective side walls.

[0009] Furthermore, the wire clamp arm is formed by folding and extending the protective side wall portion upward.

[0010] Furthermore, the end portion of the protective side wall is bent horizontally inward to form a hanging platform for limiting the limiting support arm.

[0011] Furthermore, the end portion of the protective side wall extends vertically downward to form a welding foot.

[0012] Furthermore, the middle portion of the wire clamp arm is bent to form an arc-shaped clamping portion that fits the shape and size of the coaxial line.

[0013] Furthermore, the end of the wire clamp arm adopts a closed design and is bent outward to form a guide portion with an arc.

[0014] Furthermore, the contact surface portion at the junction of the elastic arm and the support portion protrudes outward to form a contact head for electrically contacting a metal connection area of a terminal device.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the multifunctional counter-pressure spring assembly provided by the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a multifunctional counter-pressure spring assembly, which is formed by bending a 0.10mm thick high-elastic metal material in one piece, and includes a bottom plate 1, a protective side wall 2, a spring part and a wire clamp part. Specifically:

[0027] In this embodiment, the protective sidewalls 2 are formed by vertically bending downward from both sides of the base plate 1, providing overvoltage protection for the spring element. The distal ends of the protective sidewalls 2 extend vertically downward to form solder pins 202, which allow the spring element assembly to be soldered to the signal connection portion of the circuit board. The spring element comprises a transition portion 3, an elastic arm 4, and a support portion 5. The transition portion 3 extends downward from the rear end of the base plate 1 and is parallel to the base plate 1.

[0028] The elastic arm 4 is formed by bending downward at an angle from the end of the transition portion 3. Through its own elastic force, it can always abut against the metal connection area of the circuit board and the shell of the terminal device during operation to achieve electrical contact. In addition, a partially outwardly protruding contact head 401 is provided on the contact surface where the elastic arm 4 meets the support portion 5, which can ensure that the metal connection area of the terminal device has good electrical contact.

[0029] The support portion 5 is formed by bending in the opposite direction from the end of the elastic arm 4 and extending toward the bottom surface of the base plate 1. The end of the support portion 5 can slide back and forth along the bottom surface of the base plate 1 as the elastic arm 4 floats up and down, which not only increases the contact force of the spring body to a certain extent, but also plays a certain supporting role, thereby preventing the elastic arm 4 from being squeezed and deformed too much.

[0030] Furthermore, to prevent the support portion 5 from being dislocated and damaged due to external forces or excessive rebound forces, as a preferred embodiment, two mirror-symmetrical limiting arms 501 are formed extending outward from both sides of the support portion 5. Correspondingly, the end portion of the protective side wall 2 is horizontally bent inward to form a hanging platform 201 that cooperates with the limiting arms 501. The hanging platform 201 can limit the rebound position of the limiting arms 501.

[0031] The wire clamp portion includes a wire clamp arm 6 formed by folding and extending the protective side walls 2 on both sides of the bottom plate 1 upward. The two wire clamp arms 6 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner, and the middle part of the wire clamp arm 6 is bent to form an arc-shaped clamping portion 601 that fits the shape and size of the coaxial line, which can clamp the wire clamp. The multifunctional counter-pressure spring element provided by the utility model effectively reduces the horizontal area occupied by the product on the circuit board by designing the wire clamp portion and the spring element portion in an overlapping form, reduces the external dimensions, and achieves miniaturization and lightweighting. Moreover, it realizes the stamping and forming of the original two products with a set of molds, simplifies the process, and can complete the installation of two major functional parts in one patch, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0032] Furthermore, to ensure the insertion and extraction forces when the clamping portion engages the coaxial line, as well as the positive force when compressed into the working state, and thus prevent the coaxial line from loosening, the clamping arm 6 adopts a closed-end design (i.e., the opening of the clamping arm 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the coaxial line) based on the size of the coaxial line to ensure the clamping force. Furthermore, the end of the clamping arm 6 is bent outward at a certain arc to form a guide portion 602. This not only facilitates the insertion of the coaxial line into the clamping portion of the clamping arm 6, but also prevents burrs on the edge of the clamping arm 6 from piercing the flexible wire and causing functional failure of the coaxial line.

[0033] The above-described embodiments merely represent implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
