[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the float joint of this embodiment. Figure 1 The float connector of this embodiment includes an electrically connected circuit board 10 and a battery 20. The circuit board 10 and the battery 20 are directly connected, without the need for springs or other structures as connectors between the circuit board 10 and the battery 20. This simple structure and high reliability can effectively reduce the assembly time of the circuit board 10 and reduce production costs.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The bottom of the circuit board 10 is provided with a first connecting portion 11 and a second connecting portion 12. A first conductive layer 13 is provided on the inner side between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12, and a second conductive layer 14 is provided at the end of the first connecting portion 11. The first conductive layer 13 and the second conductive layer 14 are spaced apart to avoid short circuit. Figure 4 The battery 20 includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22 connected to each other. A first electrode 23 is provided on the surface of the first portion 21, and a second electrode 24 is provided on the surface of the second portion 22. When the circuit board 10 is connected to the battery 20, the first portion 21 of the battery 20 is inserted between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12. The first electrode 23 is in contact and electrically connected with the first conductive layer 13, and the second electrode 24 is in contact and electrically connected with the second conductive layer 14, thereby completing the circuit connection between the battery 20 and the circuit board 10.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 The first portion 21 and the second portion 22 of the battery 20 are both cylindrical structures. The first portion 21 is coaxially arranged at the top of the second portion 22, and the diameter of the first portion 21 is smaller than the diameter of the second portion 22. A separator 25 is provided between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 to prevent the first electrode 23 from being connected to the second electrode 24 and causing a short circuit. In addition, when the battery 20 with this structure is connected to the circuit board 10, there is no need to deliberately adjust the angle to ensure that the first electrode 23 on the surface of the first portion 21 is accurately in contact with and electrically connected to the first conductive layer 13, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the float joint.

[0037] Furthermore, the distance between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 is less than or equal to the width of the first portion 21, that is, the diameter of the first portion 21. Therefore, the first portion 21 can be snapped between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12, thereby securing the battery 20 relative to the circuit board 10 and ensuring a stable electrical connection between the first conductive layer 13 and the first electrode 23.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 The length of the first connecting portion 11 is greater than the length of the second connecting portion 12, so that the first connecting portion 11 can be in contact and electrically connected with the second electrode 24 on the surface of the second portion 22 of the battery 20. At the same time, when the first connecting portion 11 abuts the second portion 22, the second connecting portion 12 can play a certain limiting role, ensuring that the second connecting portion 12 does not contact the second electrode 24, thereby avoiding a short circuit between the first conductive layer 13 and the second electrode 24. Further, referring to Figure 3 The length of the first connecting portion 11 is greater than or equal to the length of the first portion 21, ensuring that after the first portion 21 extends between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12, the second conductive layer 14 at the end of the first connecting portion 11 can contact and electrically connect with the second electrode 24 on the second portion 22.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The second portion 22 of the battery 20 includes a transition surface 221 connecting the top surface and the outer side surface, and the second electrode 24 is disposed on the transition surface 221 and the outer side surface. Figure 3 , a connection bevel 111 is provided at one end of the circuit board 10 where the first connection portion 11 is connected to the second electrode 24. The connection bevel 111 is inclined outwardly toward the second electrode 24 and extends to the bottom end of the first connection portion 11 so that a tip structure 112 is formed at the bottom of the first connection portion 11. The second conductive layer 14 is provided on the tip structure 112, so that when the first portion 21 extends between the first connection portion 11 and the second connection portion 12, it avoids the first electrode 23, thereby effectively avoiding accidental short circuit. The tip structure 112 can effectively save space and increase the pressure distribution of the contact point between the second conductive layer 14 and the second electrode 24, which helps to achieve better electrical contact in a smaller area. Figure 3 The second conductive layer 14 continues to extend and wrap around the outside of the second connecting portion 12 without contacting the first conductive layer 13 , ensuring the stability of the circuit and the reliability of the second conductive layer 14 connected to the circuit board 10 .

[0040] Reference Figure 1 When the circuit board 10 is connected to the battery 20, the first portion 21 extends between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 to electrically connect the first electrode 23 to the first conductive layer 13. Simultaneously, the tip structure 112 of the first connecting portion 11 can abut against the second electrode 24 on the transition surface 221, thereby achieving a complete and closed circuit connection. The position of the transition surface 221 corresponds to the position of the connecting bevel 111, allowing the second conductive layer 14 to avoid the first electrode 23, ensuring the reliability of the circuit connection. Furthermore, the provision of the connecting bevel 111 ensures that even when the battery 20 moves slightly relative to the circuit board 10, a stable electrical connection between the battery 20 and the circuit board 10 can still be maintained, thereby effectively improving the stability of the circuit.

[0041] Optionally, the transition surface 221 may be an arc surface or an inclined surface to fit the connecting inclined surface 111 .

[0042] Reference Figure 2 The float connector of this embodiment further includes a light emitting unit 30, a control chip 40 and a sensor 50. The light emitting unit 30 is located above the circuit board 10, and the light emitting unit 30, the control chip 40 and the sensor 50 are all connected to the circuit board 10. Figure 3 The light-emitting unit 30 is connected to the top of the circuit board 10 relative to the battery 20. Two pins 31 are provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the light-emitting unit 30. The top of the circuit board 10 is recessed on both sides to form grooves 15 for accommodating the connecting pins 31, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the circuit board 10 and the pins 31.

[0043] Furthermore, the control chip 40 and the sensor 50 are connected to different sides of the circuit board 10 , which can reduce the length of the circuit board 10 , improve space utilization and overall structural stability.

[0044] The sensor 50 can detect the acceleration of the float connector and transmit the signal to the control chip 40. The control chip 40 controls the on / off and color change of the light-emitting unit 30 according to the signal detected by the sensor 50. The sensor 50 can detect the shaking state of the float connector. When a fish is hooked or other circumstances occur that cause the float connector to shake, the sensor 50 can detect the change in acceleration of the float connector and send a signal to the control chip 40. The control chip 40 controls the light-emitting unit 30 to turn on / off, change color and / or adjust the brightness according to the signal from the sensor 50. Different information or status are conveyed to the user through different states, significantly improving the user experience.

[0045] Optionally, the sensor 50 may be a three-axis acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, or other motion sensors.

[0046] The float connector of this embodiment is provided with a first connecting portion, one longer than the other, and a second connecting portion, extending from one end of the circuit board to clamp and limit the battery. A first conductive layer is provided on the inner side between the first and second connecting portions, capable of contacting and electrically connecting with the first electrode. A second conductive layer is provided on the end of the first connecting portion, capable of contacting and electrically connecting with the second electrode, thereby achieving circuit connection. Furthermore, a tip structure is provided at the junction of the first connecting portion and the second electrode, which can ensure a stable connection between the second electrode and the second conductive layer. This circuit connection structure is simple, reliable, and easy to assemble, greatly improving production efficiency and significantly reducing costs.

[0047] This embodiment also provides a float comprising a housing and the float connector described in the above embodiment. The float connector is disposed within the housing, with the light-emitting unit and battery of the float connector respectively abutting against the inner ends of the housing, further maintaining a tight connection between the light-emitting unit, circuit board, and battery. This float employing the float connector described in the above embodiment reduces the inconvenience of battery replacement and effectively improves the user experience.

[0048] The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present application.
