[0078] In addition, in the following embodiments, structures or components with the same or similar functions will be described using the same symbols, and descriptions of the same or equivalent technical features will be omitted to make the disclosed content more concise and easy to understand.
[0079] The present application provides a wire end connector and its insulating housing assembly that can ensure that the extension method of the matching conductive wire meets the desired requirements, thereby making it easier to organize the conductive wire matched with the wire end connector inside the electronic device, and even preventing the conductive wire matched with the wire end connector from being unnecessary entangled inside the electronic device, so that the electronic device can continue to develop in the direction of being lighter, thinner and shorter.
[0080] For the technical ideas of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 36 .
[0081] At Figures 1 to 36 The illustrated embodiment discloses at least one terminal connector 1 and its insulating housing assembly B. The terminal connector 1 can be used with a conductive wire 2 and includes a conductive terminal 11, an insulating base 12, a first insulating housing 13, and a second insulating housing 14. The conductive terminal 11 electrically connects to the conductive wire 2, forming a terminal-wire module M with the conductive terminal 11 to provide electrical signal transmission.
[0082] In the above embodiment, the insulating base 12 engages the conductive terminal 11, allowing the conductive terminal 11 to extend in a terminal extension direction D1. The insulating base 12 and the terminal wire module M have a first side S1 and a second side S2. Furthermore, the first insulating housing 13 has a first housing assembly structure 131. The second insulating housing 14 has a second housing assembly structure 141.
[0083] At Figures 1 to 36In the illustrated embodiment, the first insulating housing 13 and the second insulating housing 14 are located on the first side S1 and the second side S2, respectively, and the first housing assembly structure 131 is combined with the second housing assembly structure 141, so that the first insulating housing 13 and the second insulating housing 14 form an insulating housing assembly B. Optionally, the first housing assembly structure 131 and the second housing assembly structure 141 are structured to form a matching buckle connection structure, a clamping structure, a plug-in structure, a glued structure, or a welded structure.
[0084] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the insulating housing assembly B comprises a terminal wire module receiving space B0, an insulating base receiving space B1, a conductive wire outlet port B2, and a conductive wire extension guide structure B3. The terminal wire module receiving space B0 accommodates the terminal wire module M, preventing the insulating base 12 from protruding from the insulating housing assembly B. This effectively reduces the size of the cable connector 1, allowing electronic devices equipped with the cable connector 1 to continue to become thinner and smaller.
[0085] In addition, the insulating seat receiving space B1 is provided to accommodate the insulating seat 12 to prevent the insulating seat 12 from protruding from the insulating shell assembly B, so that the size of the wire end connector 1 can be effectively reduced, and the electronic device equipped with the wire end connector 1 can continue to develop in the direction of being lighter, thinner and smaller.
[0086] Furthermore, the conductive wire extension guide structure B3 is located above the conductive wire outlet port B2 and provides guidance for the extension of the conductive wire 2, so that the conductive wire 2 extends in a wire extension direction D2 to the conductive wire outlet port B2. The conductive wire extension guide structure B3 can be selected to be a plate-shaped structure that can provide a guiding surface (such as Figure 11 As shown), the conductive wire extension guide structure B3 can be optionally provided on the first insulating housing 13 (as shown Figure 11 As shown) or the second insulating shell 14 (as Figure 20 The conductive wire outlet port B2 may be optionally provided on the second insulating housing 14 .
[0087] It should be noted that the wire extension direction D2 is substantially different from the terminal extension direction D1, allowing the conductive wire 2 and the conductive terminal 11 to extend in different directions. This allows the conductive wire 2 used with the cable connector 1 to extend in a desired manner, making it easier to organize the conductive wire 2 within the electronic device and avoid unnecessary entanglement, thereby enabling the continued development of electronic devices that are thinner and smaller. Optionally, the wire extension direction D2 is substantially perpendicular to the terminal extension direction D1.
[0088] In addition, in the present application, the insulating shell assembly B is formed by combining the first insulating shell 13 and the second insulating shell 14. Therefore, the conductive wire outlet port B2 and the conductive wire extension guide structure B3 can be changed by adjusting the structure of the first insulating shell 13 or the second insulating shell 14, so that the extension method of the conductive wire 2 matched with the wire end connector 1 meets expectations.
[0089] At Figures 7 to 11 In the illustrated embodiment, the insulating base 12 has a first base positioning structure 121 and a second base positioning structure 122 . Correspondingly, the first insulating shell 13 also has a first shell positioning structure 132 , and the second insulating shell 14 also has a second shell positioning structure 142 .
[0090] It should be noted that the first seat body positioning structure 121 and the first housing positioning structure 132 are structurally matched concave-convex structures, allowing the first seat body positioning structure 121 to cooperate with the first housing positioning structure 132 to position the first insulating housing 13 on the insulating seat body 12, thereby maintaining the positional relationship between the first insulating housing 13 and the insulating seat body 12. Furthermore, the second seat body positioning structure 122 and the second housing positioning structure 142 are structurally matched concave-convex structures, allowing the second seat body positioning structure 122 to cooperate with the second housing positioning structure 142 to position the second insulating housing 14 on the insulating seat body 12, thereby maintaining the positional relationship between the first insulating housing 13 and the insulating seat body 12.
[0091] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments of the wire end connector of the present application may also omit some components. For example, in the embodiments of the present application, the wire end connector may only include: a conductive terminal, an insulating seat, a first insulating shell, and a second insulating shell. The conductive terminal connects to the conductive wire. The insulating seat engages the conductive terminal, allowing the conductive terminal to extend in the terminal extension direction. The insulating seat has a first side and a second side. The first insulating shell has a first shell assembly structure. The second insulating shell has a second shell assembly structure. The first insulating shell and the second insulating shell are located on the first side and the second side, respectively, and the first shell assembly structure is combined with the second shell assembly structure, so that the first insulating shell and the second insulating shell form an insulating shell assembly. The insulating shell assembly has an insulating seat housing space, a conductive wire outlet port, and a conductive wire extension guide structure. The insulating seat housing space is provided for accommodating the insulating seat, and the conductive wire extension guide structure is provided for guiding the extension of the conductive wire, so that the conductive wire extends in the wire extension direction to the conductive wire outlet port. The wire extension direction is substantially different from the terminal extension direction.
[0092] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, the insulating housing combination may only include: a first insulating housing and a second insulating housing. The first insulating housing has a first housing combination structure. The second insulating housing has a second housing combination structure. The first insulating housing and the second insulating housing are respectively located on the first side and the second side, and the first housing combination structure is combined with the second housing combination structure to form a terminal wire module accommodating space, a conductive wire outlet port and a conductive wire extension guide structure. The terminal wire module accommodating space provides for accommodating the terminal wire module so that the conductive terminal extends in the terminal extension direction. The conductive wire extension guide structure provides for guiding the extension of the conductive wire so that the conductive wire extends in the wire extension direction to the conductive wire outlet port, and the wire extension direction is substantially different from the terminal extension direction.
[0093] In summary, the present application provides a wire-end connector and its insulating housing assembly. The provided wire-end connector is paired with a conductive wire, and the insulating housing assembly can guide the extension of the conductive wire, ensuring that the extension direction of the conductive wire is consistent with the intended direction. This makes it easier to organize the conductive wire inside the electronic device and avoids unnecessary entanglement, thereby enabling the continued development of electronic devices in the direction of lightness, thinness, and compactness. In addition, the insulating housing assembly is constructed by combining multiple housings. Therefore, by adjusting the structure of the combined multiple housings, the insulating housing assembly can guide the conductive wire to extend in the desired direction.
[0094] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
