Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of 3D printing equipment, and in particular to a 3D printing quick connection component. Background Art
[0002] In 3D printing equipment, the coordinated operation of various components is crucial for efficient and stable operation. These components require electrical connections for data transmission and power supply. However, traditional electrical connection methods often present numerous inconveniences.
[0003] Specifically, in current 3D printing equipment, electrical connections between different components are typically made by soldering wires directly onto the component's circuit board. While this connection method ensures stability and reliability to a certain extent, it also exposes a series of problems in practical applications.
[0004] First, soldering wires makes component replacement extremely cumbersome. Once a component fails or requires an upgrade, workers often need to spend a considerable amount of time and effort disassembling the original soldered connections and then re-soldering new wires to the new component. This not only increases repair costs but also severely impacts equipment maintenance efficiency and availability. Second, soldering connections are less flexible. With the continuous advancement of 3D printing technology, the types and specifications of components are constantly being updated. Traditional soldering connection methods often struggle to adapt to these rapidly changing needs, as each component replacement requires re-soldering, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and time cost of the operation.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a new type of 3D printed quick-connect component is needed, which can achieve fast, stable and flexible electrical connection between different components, thereby simplifying the component replacement process and improving the maintenance efficiency and availability of the equipment.

When a component is considered to be "disposed on" another component, it can be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0034] An embodiment of the present application provides a 3D printed quick-connect component, including:
[0035] Connecting part;
[0036] A first interface is provided on the connecting portion, and the first interface is electrically connected to the connecting portion;
[0037] The second interface is provided on the connecting portion and is electrically connected to the connecting portion. The first interface is electrically connected to the second interface via the connecting portion. The connecting portion serves as the core of the 3D printed quick-connect component, playing a key role in connecting the upper and lower interfaces. It not only serves as the mounting base for the first and second interfaces, but also ensures the electrical connection between the two interfaces. This design eliminates the need for traditional soldering to connect components, greatly improving the flexibility and replaceability of the connection.
[0038] The following embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.
[0039] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 An embodiment of the present application provides a 3D printed quick connection component 100, including a connecting part 1, a first interface 2 and a second interface 3, wherein the first interface 2 is arranged on the connecting part 1, and the first interface 2 is electrically connected to the connecting part 1, and the second interface 3 is arranged on the connecting part 1, and the second interface 3 is electrically connected to the connecting part 1, and the first interface 2 is electrically connected to the second interface 3 through the connecting part 1.
[0040] Specifically, the connector 1, as the core of the entire component, is responsible for connecting the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 together and establishing an electrical connection between them. Through the connector 1, seamless docking between different interfaces is achieved, ensuring the stability of data transmission and power supply. At the same time, the design of the connector 1 also facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the component. The first interface 2 is an important interface connecting the component to an external device or between components, used to transmit data or power, and to connect to devices with a corresponding number of pins. The first interface 2 is located on the connector 1, which means that the first interface 2 can be located outside the connector 1 and electrically connected to the connector 1. The design of the first interface 2 provides more connection options and enhances the compatibility and flexibility of the component. The second interface 3 is located on the connector 1, which means that the second interface 3 can be located outside the connector 1 and electrically connected to the connector 1. The second interface 3 is another important interface connecting the component to another external device or component, also used to transmit data or power, and to connect to devices with a corresponding number of pins. The design of the second interface 3 reduces costs and simplifies the connection process while maintaining a certain connection capability. Its coordination with the first interface 2 enables components to flexibly adapt to different connection requirements. The first interface 2 is electrically connected to the connection portion 1, and the second interface 3 is electrically connected to the connection portion 1. This design, in which the first interface 2 is electrically connected to the second interface 3 via the connection portion 1, ensures a stable electrical connection between the first interface 2 and the second interface 3, thereby enabling data transmission and power supply. Through the electrical connection of the connection portion 1, the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 can form a complete electrical connection system, improving the reliability and stability of the component. This design also facilitates component assembly and maintenance, reducing operating costs. When two external devices or components need to be connected, their connection requirements are first determined, and then the first interface 2 or the second interface 3 is selected. If the external device or component has an interface that matches the first interface 2, the first interface 2 is connected to the external device or component. Similarly, if the external device or component has an interface that matches the second interface 3, the second interface 3 is connected to the external device or component. After the connection is completed, a stable electrical connection will be achieved between the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 through the electrical connection inside the connecting part 1, thereby realizing data transmission and power supply. The connecting part 1 can adopt an internal copper foil circuit or conductive track to realize the electrical connection between the first interface 2 and the second interface 3. The first interface 2 can be designed as an interface with six pins, and the pins maintain a certain spacing and arrangement. The pins can be made of conductive materials such as gold plating and tin plating to improve the reliability and durability of the connection. The first interface 2 can be designed as a combination of a long pin 21 and a short pin 22, and the long pin 21 and the short pin 22 maintain a certain spacing and arrangement.The second interface 3 can be designed as a four-pin interface, with the pins maintaining a certain spacing and arrangement. The pin material and manufacturing process should match those of the first interface 2 to ensure the reliability and durability of the connection.
[0041] In a specific example, the first interface 2 includes a long pin 21 and a short pin 22 parallel to the long pin 21, the long pin 21 and the short pin 22 are both electrically connected to the connecting portion 1, and the long pin 21 and the short pin 22 are both electrically connected to the second interface 3 through the connecting portion 1;
[0042] The minimum distance from the end of the long needle 21 away from the connecting portion 1 to the connecting portion 1 along the length direction of the long needle 21 is defined as a first distance a;
[0043] The minimum distance from the end of the short needle 22 away from the connecting portion 1 to the connecting portion 1 along the length direction of the short needle 22 is defined as a second distance b;
[0044] The first distance a and the second distance b satisfy the relationship: a>b.
[0045] Specifically, the first interface 2 is a key component of the 3D-printed quick-connect component 100, responsible for establishing an electrical connection with external devices or components. According to the description, the first interface 2 not only has multiple connection points (i.e., pins), but these pins are also specifically divided into two categories: long pins 21 and short pins 22. The long pins 21 are the relatively long portion of the first interface 2. They may be designed to provide additional connection depth or stability, or to transmit signals requiring higher voltage or current. The short pins 22 are the relatively short portion of the first interface 2. They may be used to transmit signals with standard voltage or current, or to provide additional connection flexibility. Both the long pins 21 and the short pins 22 are electrically connected to the connector 1 through some method (such as soldering, plugging, etc.). The connector 1, as the core of the entire component, is responsible for transmitting and distributing electrical signals between the first interface 2 and the second interface 3. To more precisely describe the structure of the long pins 21 and the short pins 22, the first distance a is the minimum distance along its length from the end of the long pin 21 away from the connector 1 to the connector 1. It reflects the length or depth of the long pin 21. The second distance b is the minimum distance from the end of the short pin 22 distal to the connector 1 along its length. It reflects the length or depth of the short pin 22. The first distance a and the second distance b satisfy a specific relationship: a>b. This means that the length (or depth) of the long pin 21 is greater than the length (or depth) of the short pin 22. The long pin 21 may be used in connection scenarios requiring higher stability, such as transmitting high-voltage or high-current signals. By increasing the length of the long pin 21, a deeper insertion depth and a larger contact area can be provided, thereby improving connection stability. The short pin 22 may be used in connection scenarios requiring greater flexibility, such as applications with limited space or requiring quick plugging and unplugging. By shortening the length of the short pin 22, the connection space occupied can be reduced and the ease of plugging and unplugging can be improved. In some cases, the long pin 21 and the short pin 22 may also be used to transmit different types of signals. For example, the long pin 21 may be used to transmit analog signals or high-speed digital signals, while the short pin 22 is used to transmit low-speed digital signals or control signals. By adjusting the pin length, signal transmission performance and anti-interference capabilities can be optimized. The long needle 21 and the short needle 22 are parallel to each other, which means that the length direction of the long needle 21 and the length direction of the short needle 22 are parallel to each other.
[0046] In a specific example, the length direction of the first interface 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second interface 3 .
[0047] Specifically, the length direction of the first interface 2 generally refers to the direction in which the pins (or sockets) on the interface are arranged, that is, the direction of the straight-line distance from one end of the interface to the other end. In the first interface 2, this direction may be determined by the designer based on actual needs, such as taking into account factors such as the spatial layout of the connector, the convenience of plugging and unplugging, and the density of the pin arrangement. The "length direction" in the second interface 3 also refers to the direction in which the pins (or sockets) are arranged, which is also the direction of the straight-line distance from one end to the other end of the interface. Similar to the first interface 2, the length direction of the second interface 3 is also determined by the designer based on actual needs. When the description mentions that "the length direction of the first interface 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second interface 3", it means that the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 have a specific orthogonal relationship in the arrangement direction. If we consider the first connector 2 as a rectangular (or nearly rectangular) plane, with its length defined as one of the long sides of the rectangle, then the second connector 3 should also be considered as a rectangular (or nearly rectangular) plane, but with its length defined as parallel to one of the short sides (or the other long side, but perpendicular) of the rectangle. In other words, if we place the first and second connectors 2 and 3 side by side and observe their orientation, we will find that the pins (or jacks) of the first connector 2 are arranged in one direction, while the pins (or jacks) of the second connector 3 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the orientation of the first connector 2. This orthogonal relationship may help optimize the spatial layout of connectors. For example, within a limited space, arranging different connectors vertically can more efficiently utilize space resources. In some cases, vertically arranged connectors may facilitate plugging and unplugging. For example, when connectors need to be mounted on the side or edge of a device, vertically arranged connectors provide a more convenient plugging and unplugging path. While directionality itself does not directly affect signal transmission performance, proper layout and arrangement can reduce the effects of interference and noise, thereby improving signal transmission quality.
[0048] In a specific example, the second interface 3 has a contact terminal 31 , one end of which is connected to the outside world and the other end of which is electrically connected to the connecting portion 1 . The first interface 2 is electrically connected to the contact terminal 31 through the connecting portion 1 .
[0049] Specifically, the second interface 3 is an electronic connector used to achieve electrical connection between electronic devices. It is typically composed of multiple pins (or sockets) that are used to insert corresponding plugs (or pins) to establish an electrical connection. Inside the second interface 3, contact terminals 31 are designed. These contact terminals 31 are key components for achieving electrical connection. They are typically made of conductive materials, such as copper or copper alloys, to ensure good electrical conductivity. This part is the external interface of the contact terminals 31, used to establish physical contact and electrical connection with the plug (or pin). When the plug is inserted into the second interface 3, it will make close contact with this end of the contact terminals 31, thus establishing an electrical connection. This part is the internal interface of the contact terminals 31, used to establish an electrical connection with the connecting part 1 (which may be a circuit board, connector, or other electronic component). In this way, signals or power from the plug can be transmitted to the connecting part 1 through the contact terminals 31, thereby communicating with or providing power to other electronic devices or components. The connecting part 1 is a key component of the electronic connector, responsible for connecting the contact terminals 31 inside the interface with external circuits or devices. In the second interface 3, the connector 1 connects to the internal interface of the contact terminals 31, forming a complete electrical connection path. The description states, "The first interface 2 is electrically connected to the contact terminals 31 via the connector 1." This means that the first interface 2 is not directly connected to the contact terminals 31 of the second interface 3, but rather through the connector 1 as an intermediary. The pins (or sockets) on the first interface 2 connect to the corresponding contacts on the connector 1. These contacts on the connector 1, in turn, connect to the contact terminals 31 within the second interface 3. Therefore, when a plug is inserted into the first interface 2, signals or power can be transmitted through the first interface 2, the connector 1, and the contact terminals 31 to the other end of the second interface 3, thereby communicating with or providing power to an external device or component. With the connector 1 acting as an intermediary, electrical connections between different interfaces can be easily achieved. This design makes connections between electronic devices more flexible and diverse. If an interface fails or is damaged, it can be easily replaced or repaired without replacing the entire connector. By increasing the number of contacts on the connector 1 or changing their arrangement, the connector's functionality and performance can be easily expanded.
[0050] In a specific example, the connecting portion 1 includes:
[0051] A connecting shell 11, to which the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 are detachably connected;
[0052] An inner mold 12 is disposed inside the connecting shell 11;
[0053] A connecting wire 13 is provided in the inner mold 12 , one end of the connecting wire 13 is electrically connected to the first interface 2 , and the other end of the connecting wire 13 is electrically connected to the second interface 3 .
[0054] Specifically, the connector 1 is a key component in an electronic connector, responsible for connecting different interfaces (such as the first interface 2 and the second interface 3) to enable electrical signal transmission. The connector housing 11 is the external structure of the connector 1, providing protection and support. The connector housing 11 is typically made of a sturdy yet resilient material, such as plastic or metal, to ensure it can withstand certain mechanical stresses and environmental pressures. The connector housing 11 is designed with interface slots or holes for mounting the first and second interfaces 2 and 3. These slots or holes allow the first and second interfaces 2 and 3 to be detachably connected to the connector housing 11. This design allows users to easily replace or upgrade interfaces as needed. The inner mold 12 is a structural component located within the connector housing 11. It is typically made of insulating material to protect the electrical connections within the connector 1 from external interference. The primary function of the inner mold 12 is to provide support and protection, while also ensuring the proper placement and securement of the connecting wires 13. The inner mold 12 contains channels or grooves for accommodating and securing the connecting wires 13. These channels or grooves ensure that the connecting wire 13 can be arranged along the predetermined path and will not be interfered with or damaged by the external environment. The connecting wire 13 is one of the key components in the connecting part 1. It is responsible for connecting the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 to achieve the transmission of electrical signals. The connecting wire 13 is usually made of a conductive material, such as copper or a copper alloy, to ensure good electrical conductivity. One end of the connecting wire 13 is electrically connected to the first interface 2, and the other end is electrically connected to the second interface 3. This connection method ensures that the electrical signal can be smoothly transmitted from the first interface 2 to the second interface 3, or from the second interface 3 to the first interface 2. During the arrangement of the connecting wire 13, special attention must be paid to avoid crossing and interference. Therefore, the connecting wire 13 is usually arranged in the channels or grooves in the inner mold 12 to ensure that it can be arranged along the predetermined path and will not be interfered with or damaged by the external environment. The main function of the connecting part 1 is to provide an electrical connection between the first interface 2 and the second interface 3. Through the connecting part 1, users can connect different electronic devices or components to achieve functions such as data transmission, control or power supply. The connecting shell 11 and inner mold 12 provide excellent protection for the connecting cable 13, preventing it from being disturbed or damaged by the external environment. They also provide support for the first and second interfaces 2 and 3, ensuring a stable connection. The first and second interfaces 2 and 3 are detachably connected to the connecting shell 11, allowing users to easily replace or upgrade the interfaces as needed.
[0055] In a specific example, a first buckle 23 is designed on the first interface 2 , a first slot 111 corresponding to the first buckle 23 is formed on the connection housing 11 , and the first buckle 23 is buckled and connected to the first slot 111 .
[0056] Specifically, in electronic connectors, snap-fit structures are often designed to ensure a secure connection between the interface and the housing. This structure prevents the interface from accidentally falling out after insertion into the housing, while also allowing for easy removal when needed. The first snap-fit 23 is a structural component designed into the first interface 2. It is typically made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as plastic or metal, to ensure it securely snaps onto the connection housing 11. The shape and dimensions of the first snap-fit 23 typically match the first snap-fit slot 111 on the connection housing 11. This matching ensures that the first snap-fit 23 can be accurately inserted into the first snap-fit slot 111, achieving a secure snap-fit connection. The first snap-fit slot 111 is a structural component defined in the connection housing 11. It is typically a groove or hole with a shape and dimensions that matches the shape and dimensions of the first snap-fit 23, used to accommodate and secure the first snap-fit 23. The location and number of the first snap-fit slots 111 are typically determined by the design requirements of the first interface 2. They are required to ensure that after the first interface 2 is inserted into the connection housing 11, the first snap-fit 23 can be accurately inserted into the corresponding first snap-fit slot 111, achieving a secure snap-fit connection. When the first interface 2 is inserted into the connecting housing 11, the first latch 23 slides along the surface of the connecting housing 11 until it encounters the corresponding first latch slot 111. At this point, due to the certain elasticity of the first latch 23, it deforms slightly and inserts into the first latch slot 111. Once inserted, the first latch 23 returns to its original shape and snaps tightly into the first latch slot 111, achieving a stable latch connection. This latch connection method has the advantages of being simple, reliable, and easy to operate. It not only ensures a stable connection between the first interface 2 and the connecting housing 11, but also allows for easy removal when needed. The latch connection ensures that the first interface 2 will not accidentally fall off after being inserted into the connecting housing 11, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire connector. The latch connection design allows users to easily insert and remove the first interface 2 without the need for additional tools or equipment. The latch connection can accommodate interfaces and housings of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the connector.
[0057] In a specific example, a second buckle 32 is designed on the second interface 3 , a second slot 112 corresponding to the second buckle 32 is opened on the connection shell 11 , and the second buckle 32 is buckled and connected to the second slot 112 .
[0058] Specifically, the second clip 32 is a key feature of the second interface 3. It is typically made of an elastic material to ensure smooth deformation and snap-fitting into its corresponding slot when inserted into the connecting housing 11. The shape and size of the second clip 32 typically match the second slot 112 on the connecting housing 11, ensuring accurate alignment and a secure snap-fit connection. The second slot 112 is a groove or hole in the connecting housing 11 that accommodates and secures the second clip 32. Its shape, size, and position are determined based on the design requirements of the second interface 3 to ensure accurate insertion and snap-fitting of the second clip 32. When the second interface 3 is inserted into the connecting housing 11, the second clip 32 slides along the surface of the housing until it encounters the corresponding second slot 112. Because the second clip 32 has a certain degree of elasticity, it deforms slightly to adapt to the shape of the slot and smoothly inserts. Once inserted, the second clip 32 returns to its original shape and snaps tightly into the second slot 112, achieving a secure snap-fit connection. The snap-fit connection securely fastens the second connector 3 to the connection housing 11, preventing it from falling off or loosening due to vibration or external forces. This snap-fit design allows users to easily insert and remove the second connector 3 without the need for additional tools or equipment. Because the snap and slot are typically made of durable materials, this connection method is highly durable and can withstand prolonged use and frequent plugging and unplugging.
[0059] In a specific example, the number of the long pin 21 is one, the number of the short pins 22 is also three, and the first interface 2 is provided with six first jacks 24, and the long pins 21 and the short pins 22 are both located in the first jacks 24;
[0060] Only one long needle 21 is provided in one first plug hole 24 , and only one short needle 22 is provided in one first plug hole 24 , and the long needle 21 and the short needle 22 are provided in the same first plug hole 24 .
[0061] Specifically, there is only one long pin 21. This means that there is only one long pin 21 for connection in the entire first interface 2. Similarly, the description clearly states that there are three short pins 22. This indicates that there are three short pins 22 for connection in the first interface 2. The first interface 2 is an electronic connector with six connection points, typically used to connect signal lines or power lines between electronic devices. The first interface 2 is designed with six first receptacles 24 for inserting pins. These receptacles are arranged in a specific layout and size to ensure that the pins can be accurately inserted and form a good electrical connection. The description emphasizes that only one long pin 21 or one short pin 22 is provided in each first receptacle 24. This means that the long pin 21 and the short pin 22 do not share the same receptacle; each receptacle has a specific function. The long pin 21 and the short pin 22 are not located in the same first receptacle 24. This design ensures that the function of each receptacle is clear, avoiding confusion between signals or power. It also meets the standard requirements of electronic connector design, namely that each receptacle should have a clear connection object and purpose. While the description does not directly mention the specific functional differences between long pin 21 and short pin 22, common sense and design principles for electronic device connectors suggest that long pin 21 is used to transmit specific signals or power, such as high-voltage, high-speed signals, or connections requiring higher electrical performance. Short pin 22, on the other hand, can be used to transmit other types of signals or serve as a backup pin, and its electrical performance may not be as high as that required by long pin 21. During hot swapping, devices may be subject to shock due to sudden changes in current and voltage. The design of long and short pins 22 can mitigate the impact of this shock by controlling the order of insertion and removal. Long pin 21 is typically designed to make contact first or break last, providing a buffer and protection during the plugging and unplugging process. The design of long and short pins 22 also effectively prevents mis-plugging of devices. Because long pin 21 and short pin 22 have different lengths, they can only be inserted into matching jacks, preventing device damage or system failures caused by mis-plugging. In applications requiring high reliability, such as servers and data centers, the design of long and short pins 22 ensures that devices are not damaged when plugged and unplugged while powered, thereby improving system stability and reliability.
[0062] In a specific example, the number of the contact terminals 31 is four, the second interface 3 is provided with four second plug holes 33 , and the contact terminals 31 correspond to the second plug holes 33 in a one-to-one manner.
[0063] Specifically, contact terminals 31 are a key component in electronic connectors, responsible for achieving electrical connections between electronic devices. Contact terminals 31 are typically made of conductive materials, such as copper or copper alloys, to ensure good electrical conductivity. They are designed to be inserted into corresponding receptacles and form a secure electrical connection with the contact terminal 31 at the other end. The second interface 3 is an electronic connector with four connection points. It is typically used to connect signal or power lines between electronic devices. The second interface 3 is designed with receptacles corresponding to the contact terminals 31 to ensure that the contact terminals 31 can be accurately inserted and form a secure electrical connection. The second interface 3 has four second receptacles 33. These receptacles are arranged in a specific layout to ensure that the contact terminals 31 can be accurately inserted into their corresponding receptacles. The number of second receptacles 33 matches the number of contact terminals 31 to achieve a complete electrical connection. "There is a one-to-one correspondence between the contact terminals 31 and the second receptacles 33" means that each contact terminal 31 has a corresponding second receptacle 33. This one-to-one correspondence ensures that the contact terminals 31 can be accurately inserted into their corresponding receptacles and form a secure electrical connection. This design improves the reliability and stability of the connection.
[0064] In one embodiment, a chamfer 241 is provided in the first insertion hole 24 to prevent mis-insertion.
[0065] Specifically, the first jack 24 is a key component of an electronic connector, responsible for receiving and securing pins (such as the long pin 21 and the short pin 22) to achieve electrical connections between electronic devices. The first jack 24 is typically designed on the connector body, with a specific layout and dimensions to ensure accurate pin insertion. The anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 is a special structure designed inside the first jack 24. Its primary function is to prevent the pins from being misinserted or misplaced during insertion. The anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 is typically a slightly angled bevel or groove located at the entrance of the jack, pointing in the correct direction for insertion. When a pin attempts to be inserted into the first jack 24, the anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 guides it. If the pin is oriented correctly, it can slide smoothly into the jack along the direction of the chamfer. However, if the pin is oriented incorrectly, the anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 prevents further insertion, thereby preventing misinsertion and damage to the jack and pin. The design of the anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 ensures that the pin can only be inserted into the jack in the correct direction, thereby improving connection accuracy. The anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 prevents the pin from being forced into the jack in the wrong direction, thereby avoiding damage to the jack and pin. For users, the design of the anti-misinsertion chamfer 241 makes the connection process more intuitive and simple, reducing the risk of connection errors.
[0066] The above is only an implementation method of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present application, but these all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
