[0021] The connection structure and electronic device of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a connection structure for connecting an electronic device 6 to an external cable 4. The electronic device 6 has an external connection slot 31 for connecting to the external cable 4. The connection structure includes a connector 1 having a first through hole 11. The first through hole 11 is configured to communicate with the external connection slot 31 and / or to enclose all or part of the external cable 4.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the external slot 31 is provided on the side wall of the electronic device 6 (eg Figure 1 The upper side wall shown in the figure) is not limited here, and the external slot 31 can also be set on the left side wall, right side wall, lower side wall, etc. of the electronic device 6. In detail, the external slot 31 is used in conjunction with the end of the external cable 4.

[0025] It should be noted that the electronic device 6 can be a camera, a mobile phone, a video camera, etc. The external cable 4 can be a charging cable or a data cable, etc., which is not limited here. The external slot 31 can be USB Type-A, USB Type-B, USB Type-C, Micro-USB, etc., which is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs. Figure 2 As shown, during use, the end of the external cable 4 is plugged into the external connection slot 31, and the conductive portion 41 of the external cable 4 is electrically or communicatively connected to the electronic device 6. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0026] For example, the external slot 31 can also be a storage card slot 34. The external cable 4 can be replaced with an external structure for placing a storage card. In addition, the external cable 4 can also be replaced with a mobile hard disk or a USB flash drive, and the external slot 31 is used to adapt to the mobile hard disk or USB flash drive.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 is positioned at the location of the external connection slot 31 of the electronic device 6, and the first through hole 11 of the connector 1 extends through the connector 1 and communicates with the external connection slot 31. The first through hole 11 allows the end of the external cable 4 to pass through the first through hole 11 and plug into the external connection slot 31, thereby enclosing all or part of the external cable 4. In such an embodiment, the connector 1 can enclose the gap between the electronic device 6 and the external cable 4, improving the sealing performance of the connection between the electronic device 6 and the external cable, enhancing the waterproof and dustproof effects, thereby improving the protection of the electronic device 6 and extending the service life of the electronic device 6.

[0028] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the end of the external cable 4 is partially inserted into the first through hole 11 of the connector 1, and the end of the external cable 4 is interference fit with the first through hole 11. The conductive portion 41 of the external cable 4 passes through the first through hole 11 and connects to the external connection slot 31 of the electronic device 6.

[0029] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bends on the outer surface of the connector 1 can be chamfered to achieve a smooth transition. This effectively prevents the side edges of the outer surface of the connector 1 (i.e., the connection points between adjacent side walls) from colliding with the user. Furthermore, stress concentration at the side edges can be reduced. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

[0030] For example, the connection positions of adjacent side walls of the connector 1 may form a sharp right-angled side edge or a right-angled side edge-like structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first through hole of the connector communicates with the external connection slot, and the external cable passes through the first through hole of the connector and engages with the external connection slot. The first through hole of the connector can enclose all or part of the external cable, thereby enclosing the gap between the electronic device 6 and the external cable, improving the sealing performance of the connection between the electronic device 6 and the external cable, and enhancing the waterproof and dustproof effect, thereby improving the protection of the electronic device 6 and extending the service life of the electronic device 6.

[0032] Reference Figure 2As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the connection structure also includes a seal 2, the seal 2 includes a first sealing portion 21, the first sealing portion 21 includes at least one sealing structure, the at least one sealing structure encloses a first sealing area, the first through hole 11 is located in the first sealing area, the electronic device 6 includes at least one adapter structure, and when the first through hole 11 is connected to the external slot 31, the at least one adapter structure is cooperatively connected with the at least one sealing structure.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the sealing member 2 is provided on the first surface of the connector 1 corresponding to the electronic device 6 (eg, Figure 2 The first sealing portion 21 includes at least one sealing structure. The sealing structure can be a circular or rectangular ring structure. When the first through hole 11 is connected to the external notch 31, the at least one sealing structure and the at least one adapting structure of the electronic device 6 form a first sealed area, enclosing the first through hole 11 within the first sealed area.

[0034] In such an embodiment, at least one sealing structure surrounds the periphery of the first through hole 11 and fills the gap between the connector 1 and the electronic device 6, further improving the sealing of the connection position between the external wire 4 and the external connection slot 31 of the electronic device 6, and further improving the waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0035] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown, one of the sealing structures included in the first sealing portion 21, located at the outer periphery of the first sealing area, can be a downwardly protruding annular protrusion 211. The electronic device 6 is provided with at least one adapting structure, such as an adapting groove 5, which mates with the protrusion 211. Thus, the protrusion 211 fits within the adapting groove 5, further enhancing the sealing between the connector 1 and the electronic device 6, further improving the waterproof and dustproof properties.

[0036] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first side of the connector 1 ( Figure 2 The area corresponding to the external notch 31 protrudes downward to form a ring portion 15, and the first through hole 11 passes through the middle of the ring portion 15 and is arranged opposite to the external notch 31.

[0037] For details, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the first through hole 11 is adapted to the end of the external wire 4. Since the conductive portion 41 ( Figure 2 The cross section of the lower portion of the external connection 4 connected to the external notch 31 is smaller than that of the non-conductive portion 41 ( Figure 2Therefore, the first through hole 11 is a stepped hole, and the first through hole 111 includes a first slot 111 and a second slot 112. The aperture of the first slot 111 is larger than that of the second slot 112. The second surface ( Figure 2 The second slot 112 is connected to the first surface (the upper surface of the connector 1) and is used to accommodate the non-conductive portion 41 of the end of the external wire 4. Figure 2 The second slot 112 is connected to the lower surface of the outer socket 31 and corresponds to the external slot 31. The second slot 112 allows the conductive portion 41 of the end of the external wire 4 to pass through and extend into the external slot 31.

[0038] Specifically, the seal 2 can be made of an elastic material, such as plastic, rubber, silicone, etc., without limitation. Thus, the seal 2, located between the connector 1 and the electronic device 6, can undergo slight deformation, filling the small gap between the connector 1 and the electronic device 6 and improving the sealing between the connection structure and the electronic device 6.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 is made of a first material, the seal 2 is made of a second material, and the hardness of the first material is greater than the hardness of the second material.

[0040] In some exemplary embodiments, the first material may be a plastic with a relatively high hardness, such as polycarbonate, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, etc. The second material may be a material with a relatively low hardness, which is flexible and elastic, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first material has a relatively high hardness and a certain load-bearing capacity, which allows the external cable 4 to be positioned. The second material has a relatively low hardness and can undergo slight deformation, filling the gap between the connector 1 and the electronic device 6 to seal and further enhance the waterproof and dustproof effects. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

[0042] For example, the first material may be a metal material, such as aluminum, stainless steel, etc. The second material may be rubber, silicone, etc., which may be set according to actual needs.

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 and the sealing member 2 may also be made of the same material. For example, the connector 1 and the sealing member 2 may be made of rubber, silicone, plastic, etc.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 and the seal 2 are an integral structure.

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 and the seal 2 can be integrally formed by sequentially injecting them into the same mold during the same injection molding cycle, or by molding or extrusion, etc., without limitation. It should be understood that the processing method of the connector 1 and the seal 2 should be determined according to actual needs.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 is formed by injection molding, and / or the seal 2 is formed by injection molding.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the molded seal 2 may be pre-placed in an injection mold of the connector 1 , and then injection molded into the injection mold to form the connector 1 , so that the seal 2 is mounted on the connector 1 .

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, the sealing member 2 may be formed in the prefabricated connecting body 1 by injection molding, so that the sealing member 2 is mounted on the connecting body 1 .

[0049] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the connector 1 and the seal 2 may also be two independent components, and the connection method between the connector 1 and the seal 2 includes at least one of injection molding, bonding, magnetism, snap-fit ​​and interference fit.

[0050] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a receiving groove 12 for partially receiving the sealing member 2 is provided on the connecting body 1 .

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the upper portion of the seal 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 12 of the connector 1. This increases the contact area between the seal 2 and the connector 1, making the connection between the seal 2 and the connector 1 firm. At the same time, the connection between the seal 2 and the connector 1 is also tight, improving the sealing performance between the seal 2 and the connector 1.

[0052] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the sealing member 2 may also be provided on the first surface ( Figure 2 the lower surface in the ).

[0053] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the sealing member 2 includes a second sealing portion 22 , and the second sealing portion 22 forms a second through hole 221 at the position of the first through hole 11 .

[0054] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the second sealing portion 22 is provided on the side of the ring portion 15 of the connector 1 corresponding to the electronic device 6 ( Figure 2 The second through hole 221 of the second sealing portion 22 cooperates with the second slot 112 of the first through hole 11 to allow the conductive portion 41 of the end of the external cable 4 to pass through and be inserted into the external connection slot 31 .

[0055] In such an embodiment, the second sealing portion 22 surrounds the first through hole 11 and can fill the gap between the ring portion 15 on the periphery of the first through hole 11 and the electronic device 6. On the basis of forming a first sealing area by the first sealing portion 21, further sealing can be achieved on the periphery of the first through hole 11, thereby further improving the sealing of the connection position between the external cable 4 and the electronic device 6 and improving the waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the second sealing portion 22 is provided with a constriction 222, and the constriction 222 has a first end surface 2221 ( Figure 2 The lower surface of the middle constriction 222), and a second end surface 2222 ( Figure 2 The area of ​​the first end surface 2221 is larger than the area of ​​the second end surface 2222.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the constriction 222 is located at the position of the second through hole 221 of the second sealing portion 22 to further reduce the diameter of the second through hole 221. Specifically, the lower surface of the second sealing portion 22 at the position of the second through hole 221 is inclined upward toward the second through hole 221 to form a first end surface 2221. The first end surface 2221 of the constriction 222 faces the electronic device 6 ( Figure 2 The second end surface 2222 is arranged opposite to the first end surface 2221. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the upper surface of the second sealing portion 22 at the location of the second through-hole 221 slopes downwardly into the second through-hole 221, forming a second end surface 2222. The area of ​​the first end surface 2221 is larger than the area of ​​the second end surface 2222. Specifically, the first end surface 2221 of the second sealing portion 22 slopes inwardly at the second through-hole 221 to form a constriction 222 (groove), thereby reducing the diameter of the second through-hole 221 and forming a second sealing area that encloses the conductive portion 41 of the external wire 4. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

[0058] For example, the area of ​​the first end surface 2221 is equal to the area of ​​the second end surface 2222 , and the area of ​​the first end surface 2221 is smaller than the area of ​​the second end surface 2222 .

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the first end surface 2221 of the second sealing portion 22 smoothly transitions and extends into the second through hole 221 at the second through hole 221 to form a necking 222 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the constriction 222 reduces the diameter of the second through hole 221, so that when the conductive portion 41 of the port of the external cable 4 is inserted into the second through hole 221, the second sealing portion 22 surrounds the conductive portion 41 and is in close contact with the conductive portion 41. In this way, the second sealing portion 22 can slightly deform when surrounding the conductive portion 41, improving the sealing between the second sealing portion 22 and the conductive portion 41, further improving the sealing between the external cable 4 and the electronic device 6, and enhancing the waterproof and dustproof effects, thereby improving the protection of the electronic device 6 and extending the service life of the electronic device 6.

[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first sealing portion 21 and the second sealing portion 22 are connected to form an integral structure via a joint portion 23. In this way, the sealing member 2 can be easily formed in one step by injection molding or extrusion molding, simplifying the manufacturing process of the sealing member 2.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the joint portion 23 is perpendicular to the first surface of the connector 1 and is connected between the first sealing portion 21 and the second sealing portion 22. A groove 151 for accommodating the joint portion 23 is provided on the side wall of the ring portion 15.

[0063] Specifically, the joint portion 23 is located in the linear extension area of ​​the ring portion 15 (eg Figure 3 the front side and / or rear side of the middle ring portion 15).

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, after the charging cable is plugged into the electronic device 6, it can easily cause the cable to be pulled during some sports, affecting its lifespan. Furthermore, the cable is too long and difficult to store, which can also affect the user experience. Therefore, in some exemplary embodiments, the connector further includes a stopper 16. A positioning groove 13 is formed between the stopper 16 and the first through hole 11. The positioning groove 13 is used to accommodate a portion of the external cable 4 to define the routing direction of the external cable 4.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the limiting portion 16 is provided on the second surface ( Figure 1The upper surface of the middle connector 1), the area between the limiting portion 16 and the first through hole 11 is recessed inward to form a positioning groove 13, which is used to accommodate part of the wire of the external wire 4 and define the routing direction of the external wire 4.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, the external slot 31 of the electronic device 6 is generally provided on the peripheral side wall of the electronic device 6. Figure 1 As shown, the external notch 31 is located on one of the circumferential side walls ( Figure 1 The positioning groove 13 extends in the length direction of the side wall where the external connection slot 31 of the electronic device 6 is located.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the opening of the positioning slot 13 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the wire of the external cable 4. As a result, when a portion of the wire of the external cable 4 is pressed into the positioning slot 13 by an external force, the opening of the positioning slot 13 slightly deforms and opens, squeezing the wire of the external cable 4 and securing it within the positioning slot 13. The positioning slot 13 is used to accommodate a portion of the external cable 4 to define the routing direction of the external cable 4.

[0068] In this embodiment, the end of the external cable 4 passes through the connection structure and extends into the external connection slot 31, and the portion of the external cable 4 near the end is fixed in the positioning slot 13. When the electronic device 6 is shaken, the positioning slot 13 holds the cable in place, allowing the portion of the cable near the end to shake with the electronic device 6, reducing the degree of shaking at the connection point between the end of the external cable 4 and the electronic device 6, thereby protecting the cable.

[0069] In addition, the positioning slot 13 allows the wire to extend in the length direction of the side wall where the external slot 31 is located, thereby preventing the wiring direction of the wire from affecting the user's use of the control keys 61 of the electronic device 6.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a mounting portion 14 is provided on the connector 1 , and the mounting portion 14 is used for detachable connection with the electronic device 6 . The mounting portion 14 includes at least one mounting structure, and the at least one mounting structure is staggered with the first through hole 11 .

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the area of ​​the electronic device 6 located at the external slot 31 is recessed inward to form a mounting groove 32. A connecting shaft 33 is provided in the mounting groove 32. The mounting portion 14 includes at least one connecting structure which may be a first claw 141 and a second claw 142. The first claw 141 is provided in the area of ​​the connector 1 corresponding to the connecting shaft 33 and is staggered with the first through hole 11 (at Figure 2The first claw 141 is located in the right area of ​​the first through hole 11. The first claw 141 extends toward the direction close to the electronic device 6 and is hooked on the connecting shaft 33. The second claw 142 is provided at the end of the connector 1 opposite to the first claw 141 and is staggered with the first through hole 11 (at Figure 2 The second claw 141 is located in the left area of ​​the first through hole 11), and the second claw 142 extends toward the direction close to the electronic device 6 and engages with the card slot 34 on the electronic device 6. In this way, the connecting structure is detachably mounted on the electronic device 6 through the mounting portion 14.

[0072] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the connecting shaft 33 is located above the bottom surface of the mounting slot 32, and the card slot 34 is located on the side wall of the left side of the electronic device 6. The first claw 141 extends downward to hook on the connecting shaft 33 and is detachably connected to the connecting shaft 33. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the end of the second claw 142 is located on the left side of the electronic device 6 and extends to the right to engage with the card slot 34.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the connecting structure is installed on the electronic device 6, the first claw 141 and second claw 142 of the mounting portion 14 engage with the connecting shaft 33 and the slot 34, respectively, under the action of an external force. To remove the connecting structure, the second claw 142 is pulled leftward, causing the distal end of the second claw 142 to slightly deform, separating the second claw 142 from the slot 34. Subsequently, the first claw 141 is separated from the connecting shaft 33, thereby removing the connecting structure from the electronic device 6. The connecting structure is conveniently assembled and disassembled, and is easy to operate.

[0074] In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting structure 14 is configured and removed in a manner that does not affect the insertion or removal of the external cable 4 from the external slot 31. Thus, during use, the connecting structure and external cable 4 can be installed or removed sequentially. Of course, the connecting structure can also be installed or removed from the electronic device 6 simultaneously with the external cable 4, eliminating the need for separate installation or removal of the external cable 4 and the connecting structure. This improves the ease of use of the connecting structure.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting portion 14 includes but is not limited to being detachably mounted on the electronic device 6 by magnetic connection, plug-in connection, or any other connection method, and is specifically set according to actual needs.

The body 3 is provided with an external connection notch 31 for connecting an external cable 4. The connection structure is provided between the body 3 and the external cable 4.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the connection structure is used to connect the main body 3 and the external wire 4, and the main body 3 has an external connection slot 31, and the external connection slot 31 is used to connect to the external wire 4. The connection structure includes a connector 1. The connector 1 is arranged at the position of the external connection slot 31.
