Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to an antenna terminal cover, a connection assembly, and a connection structure. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the design of network card terminals for laptops is often limited by the small reserved space for the network card module terminal position. When the reserved space is very small, it is difficult for fingers to reach into the space to flexibly adjust the antenna position and snap the antenna terminal during manual operation. This makes the operation difficult, greatly affects production efficiency, and easily causes operator fatigue.

[0003] The existing solution involves using auxiliary tools to clamp the antenna terminals and secure them to the network card module terminals. While this method replaces manual manipulation of the antenna terminals, it still requires high visual acuity and manual dexterity to align the male and female terminals, resulting in poor first-time success. Furthermore, the constant need for tools reduces antenna assembly efficiency and increases fixed production costs. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0027] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, an antenna terminal cover according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a body 1, which is provided with at least one retaining groove 121 for retaining a female antenna terminal connector 21. Restricting groove 121 is configured to correspond to a male antenna terminal connector 31 on an electronic component 3. The body 1 is also provided with a first retaining wall 14, with retaining groove 121 communicating with the first retaining wall 14 to allow the antenna terminal wire 22 to pass through the first retaining wall 14.

[0029] In this embodiment, the number of limiting grooves 121 can be one or more. For example, in some one-way communication or specially designed devices, there may be only one antenna terminal. In this case, the number of limiting grooves 121 can be designed to be one. However, in many wireless communication devices, since it is necessary to process both received and transmitted signals, antenna terminals usually appear in pairs. In this case, the number of limiting grooves 121 can be designed to be two. Since the limiting groove 121 is used to hold the antenna terminal female connector 21, the antenna terminal male connector 31 on the electronic component 3 needs to be tightly connected to the antenna terminal female connector 21. Therefore, the position of the limiting groove 121 is configured to correspond to the antenna terminal male connector 31 so that the antenna terminal male connector 31 can be snapped together with the antenna terminal female connector 21. Among them, the electronic component 3 includes but is not limited to an SSD, a PCB, or a WiFi board. A connection hole connected to the limiting groove 121 is opened on the first limiting wall 14. The connection hole allows the antenna terminal wire body 22 to pass through to the outside of the antenna terminal cover. Therefore, the antenna terminal cover plate disclosed in the present invention is compatible with the snap-on installation and anti-loosening functions, which is equivalent to an antenna fixing bracket. It not only eliminates the auxiliary tools, but also enlarges the alignment limit position, thereby greatly improving the snap-on efficiency of the antenna terminal, simplifying the operation difficulty, and ensuring that the antenna is firmly fixed, and the antenna terminal female connector 21 will not be loosened due to touching the wire body 22 of the antenna terminal.

[0030] In one embodiment, at least a first limit block 11 and a second limit block 12 are protrudingly provided on the main body 1. The first limit block 11 and the second limit block 12 are arranged along the extension direction of the first limit wall 14. The first limit block 11 and the second limit block 12 are enclosed to form a limit groove 121.

[0031] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a first limiting skirt 110 is provided on the side of the first limiting block 11 close to the second limiting block 12, and a second limiting skirt 120 is provided on the side of the second limiting block 12 close to the first limiting block 11. The first limiting skirt 110 and the second limiting skirt 120 are used to limit the two side edges of the antenna terminal female connector 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first limiting skirt 110 and the second limiting skirt 120 are both angled to limit the movement of the two side edges of the antenna terminal female connector 21 in the Z direction in the three-dimensional coordinate system, thereby ensuring that the antenna is firmly fixed and the antenna terminal female connector 21 will not be loosened from the limiting groove 121 due to touching the wire body 22 of the antenna terminal. Due to the provision of the first limiting skirt 110 and the second limiting skirt 120, the antenna terminal female connector 21 needs to be abutted against the main body 1 of the antenna terminal cover when installed. The abutting position should be on the extension path of the first limiting skirt 110 and the second limiting skirt 120, and then the antenna terminal female connector 21 is slid toward the limiting groove 121 so that the two side edges of the antenna terminal female connector 21 are respectively inserted into the first limiting skirt 110 and the second limiting skirt 120 until the antenna terminal female connector 21 is completely placed in the limiting groove 121. Figure 2 As shown in , the antenna terminal female connector 21 at the lower end of the figure has not been completely inserted into the limiting groove 121 , while the antenna terminal female connector 21 at the upper end of the figure has been completely inserted into the limiting groove 121 .

[0033] In one embodiment, a first locking portion 112 is further provided on the side of the first limiting block 11 close to the second limiting block 12, and a second locking portion 122 is further provided on the side of the second limiting block 12 close to the first limiting block 11. The first locking portion 112 and the second locking portion 122 are connected to the first limiting wall 14 and are configured to be able to engage and limit with the antenna terminal female connector 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 112 and the second engaging portion 122 are provided to automatically position the antenna terminal female connector 21, so that the antenna terminal female connector 21 stops moving when it moves to a specific position, and there is no need to manually determine whether the antenna terminal female connector 21 has been locked in place. It is understandable that the first limiting block 11 and the second limiting block 12 can also be provided with a first inclined surface 113 and a second inclined surface (not shown in the figure), respectively. The first inclined surface 113 is connected to the end of the first limiting skirt 110 close to the first engaging portion 112, and the second inclined surface is connected to the end of the second limiting skirt 120 close to the second engaging portion 122. The first inclined surface 113 and the second inclined surface also play a limiting role. The two cooperate to position the antenna terminal female connector 21 and limit its movement.

[0035] In one embodiment, a third limiting block 13 is further provided on the main body 1 , and the third limiting block 13 is spaced apart from the second limiting block 12 .

[0036] In this embodiment, if there are two limiting grooves 121, a third limiting block 13 is further provided on the body 1. The third limiting block 13 and the second limiting block 12 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first limiting wall 14. The third limiting block 13 and the second limiting block 12 together form the limiting groove 121. The second limiting block 12 is a symmetrical structure. The structure of the side of the second limiting block 12 near the third limiting block 13 is the same as the structure of the second limiting block 12 near the first limiting block 11. The side of the third limiting block 13 near the second limiting block 12 is also provided with a skirt structure and a locking structure for limiting the two sides of the antenna terminal female connector 21. No further details will be given here.

[0037] In one embodiment, two opposite second limiting walls 15 are further provided on the main body 1 . The two second limiting walls 15 and the first limiting wall 14 meet the vertical condition. The first limiting wall 14 and the two second limiting walls 15 enclose and form an accommodating space for accommodating the electronic components 3 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the first limiting wall 14 and the two second limiting walls 15 cooperate to play a limiting role, so that the electronic component 3 can move in the Z direction along the first limiting wall 14 and the second limiting wall 15 to snap the electronic component 3 into engagement with the antenna terminal cover, and at the same time, snap the antenna terminal male head 31 on the electronic component 3 into engagement with the antenna terminal female head 21.

[0039] In one embodiment, the body 1 is further provided with a through hole 16 , and the fastener 4 is passed through the through hole 16 . The fastener 4 may be a screw.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present disclosure also provides a connection assembly, including an electronic component 3 and an antenna 2, and also including an antenna terminal cover plate as in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, the antenna terminal female head 21 of the antenna 2 is clamped in the limiting groove 121, the antenna terminal male head 31 on the electronic component 3 is engaged with the antenna 2 terminal female head, and the antenna terminal wire body 22 of the antenna passes through the first limiting wall 14.

[0041] In this embodiment, when assembling the connection assembly, the antenna terminal female connector 21 is first moved along the extension direction of the first limiting skirt 110 and the second limiting skirt 120 so that it is snapped into the limiting groove 121. Then, the electronic component 3 with the antenna terminal male connector 31 is moved along the first limiting wall 14 and the second limiting wall 15 in the Z direction, and the electronic component 3 is fastened to the antenna terminal cover. At the same time, the antenna terminal male connector 31 and the antenna terminal female connector 21 on the electronic component 3 are also fastened together, and the assembly of the connection assembly is completed. Therefore, the connection assembly disclosed in the present invention ensures that the antenna 2 is firmly fixed and the antenna terminal female connector 21 will not be loosened due to touching the wire body 22 of the antenna terminal.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the present disclosure further provides a connection structure, which includes a part to be fixed 5, on which a connector 51 is provided, and also includes a connection component as in the above-mentioned embodiment, which is provided on the part to be fixed 5.

[0043] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the electronic component 3 is plugged and connected to the connector 51 , and the body 1 is firmly connected to the part to be fixed 5 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the component to be fixed 5 can specifically be a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). During installation, the connection structure inserts the assembled connection assembly into the connector 51 on the component to be fixed 5. That is, the electronic component 3 is plugged into the connector 51, and then the fastener 4 is locked to the component to be fixed 5, thereby completing the connection between the connection assembly and the component to be fixed 5. As a result, the disclosed connection structure ensures that the antenna 2 is firmly fixed and prevents the antenna terminal female connector 21 from loosening due to contact with the antenna terminal wire 22.
