[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0033] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," "above," "front," "back," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures undergoes a positional flip or a change in posture or a change in motion, then these directional indications will also change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "below" another element or feature will subsequently be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a connector module, which includes: a connector body 100, including a first conductive terminal 110 and a connecting ear 120, the connecting ear 120 extending outward along a first direction X of the connector body 100, and the first conductive terminal 110 and the connecting ear 120 are spaced apart and arranged in a second direction Y of the connector body 100; a mainboard 200, provided with a first avoidance notch 210 and an electrical contact point 220, the first avoidance notch 210 penetrates the mainboard 200 along a third direction Z of the connector body 100, the electrical contact point 220 is arranged corresponding to the first conductive terminal 110, at least a portion of the connector body 100 is inserted into the first avoidance notch 210, the first conductive terminal 110 abuts against and is conductive with the electrical contact point 220; and a locking assembly 300, which locks the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 in the third direction Z through the connecting ear 120.

[0035] In this embodiment, a first avoidance notch 210 is provided on the motherboard 200, and at least a portion of the connector body is inserted into the first avoidance notch 210, so that the portion of the connector body inserted into the first avoidance notch 210 shares a thickness space with the motherboard 200, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the connector module and making it suitable for use in scenarios with a smaller thickness assembly space. At the same time, the connector body 100 and the motherboard 200 are detachably connected by the locking assembly 300. When one component is damaged, only the damaged component can be replaced, and the other component can continue to be used, which can significantly reduce the cost of use. Compared with traditional soldering / crimping connectors, the connector module provided in this embodiment is detachable, flexible to assemble, and low in cost. In addition, the overall space occupied is small, which is conducive to the lightweight layout of the connector module and electronic equipment.

[0036] Specifically, the connector module is configured as a combined component including at least a connector body 100, a mainboard 200 and a locking assembly 300. The connector body 100 can be a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure with wings, one end of which is open for plugging in an external active device, such as a plug for connecting to a power source; the other end is provided with a first conductive terminal 110 that is at least partially extended, and the extended first conductive terminal 110 is used to electrically connect to the mainboard 200. In this way, the mainboard 200 can be installed on another external active device, such as a computer, mobile phone, etc., to achieve current conduction of the connector module to the two active devices; the connecting ear 120 provided thereon can expand the connection position between the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 outward, reduce interference with its main part, and facilitate subsequent disassembly and assembly. The main board 200 can be a plate-like structure with a circuit etched inside. The first avoidance notch 210 opened thereon can be in a rectangular, prismatic, triangular or circular shape, etc., which is not limited here. It is adapted to the shape of the insertion part of the connector body 100, and the operator can choose according to actual conditions; the electrical contact point 220 set thereon can be an exposed metal sheet structure, which is connected to the circuit etched inside the body. In this way, the first conductive terminal 110 can be connected to the internal circuit of the main board 200 through the exposed electrical contact point 220, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the connector body 100 and the main board 200. The locking assembly 300 can be a structural member such as a screw or bolt, which is used to achieve a detachable connection between the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200. For example, a through hole is provided on the connecting ear 120 and extends along the third direction Z, and a connecting hole corresponding to the through hole is provided on the mainboard 200. The locking assembly 300 passes through the through hole and the connecting hole in sequence to achieve a fast connection between the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200. When the mainboard 200 needs to be replaced later, the locking assembly 300 can be loosened in reverse and removed from the through hole and the connecting hole, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The connector module provided in this example occupies a small space and can achieve a lightweight layout. In addition, the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 are detachable, which facilitates the subsequent inspection and replacement of vulnerable parts and reduces the cost of use.

[0037] In one example, the connector body 100 can be configured as a composite structure including at least a main body, a first conductive terminal 110 and a connecting ear 120. The main body is a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure. Two connecting ears 120 can be provided, and the two connecting ears 120 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the main body along the first direction X; the two connecting ears 120 extend back to back and cooperate with the two locking components 300 respectively to connect and fasten the connector body 100 and the main board 200 in at least two areas in the first direction X; the tail end of the first conductive terminal 110 extends downward from the main body so that when the connector body 100 is inserted into the first avoidance gap 210, it abuts against the electrical contact point 220 on the main board 200, thereby realizing conduction between the connector body 100 and the main board 200, and facilitating the transmission of current or signals.

[0038] It should be noted that the straight lines along the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are arranged perpendicular to each other. For example, the first direction X can be the width direction of the connector body 100, the second direction Y can be the length direction of the connector body 100, and the third direction Z can be the thickness direction of the connector body 100.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the first avoidance gap 210 includes a first side wall 211, a second side wall 212 and a third side wall 213 arranged in sequence, the third side wall 213 is arranged opposite to the first side wall 211, and is spaced apart in the first direction X, the electrical contact point 220 is arranged on the second side wall 212, the first conductive terminal 110 has a first abutting surface 101 exposed from the connector body 100 and facing the second side wall 212, and the first abutting surface 101 abuts and conducts the electrical contact point 220 in the second direction Y.

[0040] This embodiment provides a method for electrically connecting the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 in the second direction Y. In this case, the first conductive terminal 110 can be a long, sheet-like structure. The first sidewall 211, the second sidewall 212, and the third sidewall 213 form a U-shape, forming the outermost shape of the first avoidance gap 210. The bottom of the connector body 100 can be inserted into the first avoidance gap 210 from above the motherboard 200. At least two sidewalls of the connector body 100 respectively abut against the first sidewall 211 and the third sidewall 213. The first abutting surface 101 on the outer side of the first conductive terminal 110, located on another sidewall of the connector body 100, abuts against the second sidewall 212, thereby establishing electrical communication between the connector body 100 and the motherboard 200. The first abutting surface 101 can be a flat surface with a mirrored finish, creating an attractive force when in contact with the electrical contact site 220; alternatively, the first abutting surface 101 can be a convex arc surface, creating a positive abutment when in contact with the electrical contact site 220. This enhances the connection reliability between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220, ensuring the electrical connection between the connector body 100 and the motherboard 200. The connector module provided in this example can achieve force contact between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical connection site in the second direction Y, and conduct electricity between the connector body 100 and the motherboard 200 in this direction, resulting in a compact layout and excellent coordination.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the first conductive terminal 110 includes a fixed portion 111 and a flexible portion 112 connected to the fixed portion 111 along a third direction Z, and the connector body 100 also includes a second avoidance notch 130 arranged opposite to the second side wall 212, and the flexible portion 112 is suspended in the second avoidance notch 130 so that the flexible portion 112 has at least the ability to deform along the second direction Y.

[0042] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the connector body 100 is further optimized. Specifically, the connector body 100 is configured as a composite component including at least a first conductive terminal 110, a connecting ear 120, and a second escape notch 130. The second escape notch 130 can be a recessed angle structure defined at a bottom corner of the connector body 100 and extending through the connector body 100 along the first direction X. Its lateral opening faces away from the opening of the first escape notch 210, and its bottom opening faces the motherboard 200. The flexible portion 112 of the first conductive terminal 110 can be inserted into the second escape notch 130 from top to bottom. At the same time, the first conductive terminal 110 is configured as a split structure including at least a fixed portion 111 and a flexible portion 112. The fixed portion 111 can be wrapped around the main portion of the connector body 100. In this way, the rigidity of the main portion can be enhanced, and the flexible portion 112 and the control member 170 in the main portion can be connected. The flexible portion 112 is connected to the lower end of the fixed portion 111, and at least a portion thereof extends out of the main portion and is exposed in the second avoidance gap 130. In this way, the flexible portion 112 can have at least the ability to deform in the second direction Y when subjected to a force in the second direction Y, thereby reducing the abutment stress when the flexible portion 112 contacts the electrical contact point 220, preventing the flexible portion 112 from being damaged and the electrical contact point 220 from being crushed. This can not only improve the mechanical protection of the flexible portion 112 and the electrical contact point 220, but also enhance the contact sensitivity and reliability between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220, thereby shortening the response time of the connector module. The connector module provided in this example can provide abutment buffering force between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 at least in the second direction Y, allowing the first conductive terminal 110 to deform in the second direction Y, thereby improving assembly yield.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the connector body 100 further includes a third avoidance notch 140 disposed above the second side wall 212 , and the third avoidance notch 140 and the second avoidance notch 130 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first conductive terminal 110 along the second direction Y.

[0044] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the connector body 100 is further optimized. Specifically, the connector body 100 is configured as a composite component comprising at least a first conductive terminal 110, a connecting ear 120, a second relief notch 130, and a third relief notch 140. The third relief notch 140 can be a recessed angle structure disposed above and outside the second relief notch 130 and extending through the connector body 100 along the first direction X. Its lateral opening faces away from the first relief notch 210, and its bottom opening communicates with the second relief notch 130. A portion of the fixing portion 111 of the first conductive terminal 110 is exposed through the third relief notch 140, thereby increasing the exposed area of ​​the outer wall of the first conductive terminal 110, distributing the abutting force on the first abutting surface 101, reducing the breakage rate of the first conductive terminal 110, and improving the assembly yield. Furthermore, the top wall of the third relief notch 140 forms a stop between the mainboard 200 and the top wall of the mainboard 200, preventing the connector body 100 and the mainboard 200 from over-assembling in the third direction Z.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the projection of the first conductive terminal 110 in the third direction Z at least partially overlaps with the projection of the electrical contact site 220 in the third direction Z. This configuration allows the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 to be in interference fit in the second direction Y, thereby ensuring the electrical contact yield and sensitivity between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220, shortening the response time of the connector module, increasing the response rate, and improving the current conduction performance or signal transmission performance of the connector module.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a possible embodiment, at least two limiting protrusions 230 are provided on the second side wall 212, and at least two limiting protrusions 230 are arranged at intervals in the second direction Y. Two adjacent limiting protrusions 230 are enclosed to form a limiting groove, and the limiting groove extends along the third direction Z, and the first conductive terminal 110 is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0047] In this embodiment, the structure of the abutment between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 is further optimized. Specifically, at least two limiting protrusions 230 are provided on the second sidewall 212 of the mainboard 200. The limiting protrusions 230 extend through the mainboard 200 along the third direction Z. The at least two limiting protrusions 230 are spaced apart along the first direction X to enclose a limiting groove extending along the third direction Z. The electrical contact point 220 is located at the bottom of the limiting groove. When the first conductive terminal 110 is inserted into the limiting groove, the first abutment surface 101 of the first conductive terminal 110 abuts the electrical contact point 220, while the other two sidewalls are respectively constrained by the inner walls of the two adjacent limiting protrusions 230. This allows the limiting groove to guide and limit the assembly of the first conductive terminal 110, improving assembly accuracy and speed. It also prevents the first conductive terminal 110 from moving in the second direction Y, improving the assembly stability and reliability of the connector module.

[0048] In addition, the limiting protrusion 230 can be a conductive metal, which is connected to the electrical contact point 220. In this way, the electrical contact area between the first conductive terminal 110 and the mainboard 200 can be increased through the inner wall surface of the limiting protrusion 230, thereby improving the electrical contact reliability and sensitivity, shortening the response time, and improving the overall performance of the connector module.

[0049] In one example, there are N first conductive terminals 110, spaced apart along the first direction X. There are N electrical contact sites 220, spaced apart along the first direction X, with each electrical contact site 220 corresponding to at least one conductive terminal. In this case, there are (N+1) position-limiting protrusions 230, spaced apart along the first direction X and forming N position-limiting slots, with each position-limiting slot corresponding to one electrical contact site 220. This improves the electrical contact sensitivity between the connector body 100 and the motherboard 200, at least in terms of quantity, thereby increasing response speed and enhancing connector module performance.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the electrical contact site 220 is arranged on the side of the main board 200 facing the connector body 100, and the first conductive terminal 110 has a second abutting surface 102 exposed from the connector body 100 and facing the electrical contact site 220, and the second abutting surface 102 abuts and conducts the electrical contact site 220 in the third direction Z.

[0051] In this embodiment, a method for electrically connecting the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 in the third direction Z is provided. In this case, the first conductive terminal 110 can be a bent hook spring structure. The electrical contact point 220 is disposed on the top surface of the motherboard 200. The second abutting surface 102 at the lowest point of the hook portion of the first conductive terminal 110 is disposed toward the electrical contact point 220. When the connector body 100 is inserted into the first avoidance notch 210, it can abut against the top of the electrical contact point 220. The second abutting surface 102 can be a convex arc surface, forming an interference fit when it contacts the electrical contact point 220; alternatively, the second abutting surface 102 can be a smooth plane with a mirror effect, forming an attractive force when it contacts the electrical contact point 220. In this way, the connection reliability between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact point 220 is enhanced, ensuring the electrical connection between the connector body 100 and the motherboard 200. The connector module provided in this example can achieve force contact between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical connection point in the third direction Z, and conduct the connector body 100 and the main board 200 in this direction. It has a compact layout and good collaborative effect.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the projection of the first conductive terminal 110 in the second direction Y at least partially overlaps with the projection of the electrical contact site 220 in the second direction Y. This arrangement allows the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220 to achieve interference fit in the third direction Z, thereby ensuring the electrical contact yield and sensitivity between the first conductive terminal 110 and the electrical contact site 220, shortening the response time of the connector module, increasing the response rate, and improving the current conduction performance or signal transmission performance of the connector module.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the connector body 100 also includes a first shell 150 and a second shell 160, the first shell 150 is sleeved outside the second shell 160, the connecting ear 120 is arranged on the side of the first shell 150 facing the main board 200, and one end of the first conductive terminal 110 is arranged in the second shell 160, and the other end is exposed and abuts the electrical contact point 220.

[0054] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the connector body 100 is further optimized. Specifically, the connector body 100 is configured as a composite component comprising at least a first conductive terminal 110, a connecting ear 120, a first shell 150, and a second shell 160. The first shell 150 can be a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure with a receiving chamber. The connecting ear 120 provided on its outer wall is used to cooperate with the locking assembly 300 to removably connect the connector body 100 to the motherboard 200. The second shell 160 can be a nearly rectangular box-shaped structure, smaller than the first shell 150. The second shell 160 can be received within the receiving chamber of the first shell 150 by means of snap-fit ​​or crimping. The fixed portion 111 of the first conductive terminal 110 is enclosed within the second shell 160, while the flexible portion 112 extends through the second shell 160 and the first shell 150 to contact and conduct electrical contact with the electrical contact point 220. The connector body 100 provided in this embodiment has a double-layer shell structure, which provides improved overall hardness, excellent drop and impact resistance, and enhanced stability.
