[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a conductive structure for connecting wire harnesses and flexible circuit boards, comprising: a housing 10, which includes a main body 110 and at least two switch portions 120, each of which is rotatably connected to the main body 110 via a crease 130 and has an open state and a closed state relative to the main body 110; a conductor 20 disposed within the housing 10, the conductor 20 having at least two conductive ends, the conductive ends being disposed corresponding to the switch portions 120; when the switch portions 120 are in the closed state, the switch portions 120 press the wire harness or flexible circuit board against the conductive ends.

[0043] Specifically, before use, the switch 120 is opened and in the open state. The wire harness or flexible circuit board to be connected is placed on the conductive end and connected to the conductive end. Then, the switch 120 is closed and in the closed state. At this time, the switch 120 presses the wire harness or flexible circuit board tightly against the conductive end. The present application can conduct electricity to the wire harness and flexible circuit board using the conductor 20 in the above manner. It should be noted that the opening and closing operations of the switch 120 are both achieved by rotating the switch 120 relative to the main body 110 through the crease 130.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, this application abandons the screw-pressed wire harness connection method of the prior art and innovatively uses crease 130 to realize the rotation of the switch part 120 relative to the main body 110. By switching the switch part 120 between the on and off states, the wire harness or flexible circuit board can be pressed to the conductive end or removed from the conductive end. The operation is simple and the efficiency is improved.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are two switch units 120. In other embodiments, the number of light-emitting units may be three, four or more.

[0046] In this embodiment, the switch section 120 is divided into a first switch section 121 and a second switch section 122 as required. The first switch section 121 is connected to the wire harness, and the second switch section 122 is connected to the flexible circuit board. This embodiment can make the wire harness and the flexible circuit board conductive through the above design.

[0047] Further, the conductive end is divided into a first conductive end 211 and a second conductive end 212 as required. The first conductive end 211 is provided corresponding to the first switch part 121 and is provided with a conductive clip 2111. The conductive clip 2111 is conductively connected to the wire harness and is used to clamp and fix the wire harness, and cooperates with the first switch part 121 to press and fix the wire harness. The second conductive end 212 is provided corresponding to the second switch part 122 and is provided with a conductive protrusion 2121 protruding towards the second switch part 122. The conductive protrusion 2121 is conductively connected to the flexible circuit board and is used to lift the flexible circuit board, and cooperates with the second switch part 122 to press and fix the flexible circuit board.

[0048] Furthermore, the first switch part 121 is provided with a wire pressing groove 1211 on the side facing the conductor 20, and the second switch part 122 is provided with a wire pressing block 1221 on the side facing the conductor 20. When the switch part 120 is in the closed state, the wire pressing groove 1211 presses the wire harness, and the wire pressing groove 1211 presses the insulating tube around the wire harness. The wire pressing block 1221 presses the flexible wire circuit board. The wire pressing block 1221 cooperates with the conductive protrusion 2121 to make the flexible wire circuit board form undulations, thereby better fixing the flexible wire circuit board to the second conductive end 212.

[0049] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a base 101 and a top cover 102, which are detachably connected. The base 101 and the top cover 102 combine to form a receiving cavity, in which the conductor 20 is disposed. The top cover 102 includes a main body 110 and at least two switch portions 120. When the switch portions 120 are in the open state, the conductive ends within the receiving cavity are exposed. This embodiment is assembled from three components: the base 101, the top cover 102, and the conductor 20, which reduces assembly difficulty and production steps, avoiding assembly difficulties and excessive production steps caused by too many parts. Moreover, the base 101 and the top cover 102 are detachable, facilitating the replacement of damaged components.

[0050] Furthermore, the upper cover 102 is provided with a positioning groove 1021, which is located between the main body 110 and the switch part 120 and is correspondingly disposed below the crease 130; the base 101 is provided with a positioning block 1011, which is disposed corresponding to the positioning groove 1021. The positioning block 1011 and the positioning groove 1021 are used for positioning to determine the relative position of the upper cover 102 and the base body. Moreover, the positioning groove 1021 is disposed below the crease 130, making reasonable use of the position and avoiding interference and collision caused when the switch part 120 is opened.

[0051] Furthermore, the switch part 120 is connected to the base 101 via a snap-fit ​​structure 103, facilitating the opening or closing of the switch part 120. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​structure 103 includes a snap-fit ​​position and a snap-fit ​​protrusion, the snap-fit ​​position being disposed on the switch part 120 of the upper cover 102, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion being disposed on the base 101.

[0052] Furthermore, the main body 110 is connected to the base 101 via a snap-fit ​​structure 103, facilitating the opening and closing of the main body 110 and cooperating with the switch part 120 to remove the upper cover 102. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​structure 103 includes a snap-fit ​​position and a snap-fit ​​protrusion, the snap-fit ​​position being disposed on the main body 110 of the upper cover 102, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion being disposed on the base 101.

[0053] In this embodiment, the base 101 is provided with a limiting post 1012, and the conductor 20 is provided with a limiting groove 201; when the conductor 20 is installed on the base 101, the limiting post 1012 is inserted into the limiting groove 201, and the position of the conductor 20 is limited by the limiting post 1012, which facilitates installation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the main body 110 is provided with a clamping post 111 extending toward the base 101, so that when the base 101 and the upper cover 102 are combined, the clamping post 111 is used to press the conductor 20 onto the base 101 to prevent the conductor 20 from loosening.
