[0029] Screws are a kind of connecting piece, which can connect two structural parts together.

[0030] In the related art, the application range of the screw is small, which cannot meet the connection requirements in different scenes.

[0032] First aspect

[0033] The present disclosure provides a connecting piece 10, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The connecting piece 10 can include a rod body 11, a first connecting part 12 and a second connecting part 13, the two ends of the length direction of the rod body 11 can be a first end 111 and a second end 112 respectively; the first connecting part 12 can be arranged on the inner side of the first end 111, used to connect a first structural part 20, and in the case of connecting the first structural part 20, a part of the first structural part 20 can be located in the rod body 11; the second connecting part 13 can be arranged on the outer side of the second end 112, used to connect a second structural part 30, and in the case of connecting the second structural part 30, the second structural part 30 can be located outside the rod body 11.

[0034] The length direction of the rod body 11 can be the direction in which the rod body 11 extends along a straight line (such as Figure 1 The first end and the tail end of the rod body 11 along the straight line extension direction can correspond to the first end 111 and the second end 112 of the rod body 11 respectively, or the first end and the tail end of the rod body 11 along the straight line extension direction can correspond to the second end 112 and the first end 111 of the rod body 11 respectively. The first connecting part 12 can be arranged inside the first end 111 (such as the first end of the rod body 11, etc.) of the rod body 11, and in the case of connecting the first structural part 20, a part of the first structural part 20 can be located inside the rod body 11. The second connecting part 13 can be arranged outside the second end 112 (such as the tail end of the rod body 11, etc.) of the rod body 11, and in the case of connecting the second structural part 30, the second structural part 30 can be located outside the rod body 11.

[0035] In an example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3As shown, the connecting piece 10 can include a rod body 11, a first connecting part 12 and a second connecting part 13, and the two ends of the rod body 11 in the length direction can be a first end 111 and a second end 112 respectively; the first connecting part 12 can be an internal thread arranged inside the first end 111, which can be used to connect the external thread of the first structural piece 20, and in the case of connecting the first structural piece 20, the local part of the first structural piece 20 can be located inside the rod body 11; the second connecting part 13 can be an external thread arranged outside the second end 112, which can be used to connect the internal thread of the second structural piece 30, and in the case of connecting the second structural piece 30, the second structural piece 30 can be located outside the rod body 11. An electronic device 50 can include a first housing 51 and a second housing 52, and the first housing 51 and the second housing 52 can form an accommodation space 53 inside the electronic device 50, and the accommodation space 53 can be provided with a third structural piece 40, and the third structural piece 40 can be provided with electronic devices (such as central processors, graphic processors, etc.) and / or non-electronic devices (screws for fixing central processors, graphic processors, etc.), and a screw can be the first structural piece 20, and the second housing 52 can be the second structural piece 30, and the connecting piece 10 can be arranged in the electronic device 50, and at least has the following two use scenarios:

[0036] Scenario one: the rod body 11 can be arranged in the third structural piece 40, and can be connected with the second structural piece 30 through the second connecting part 13, so that the fixing of the third structural piece 40 relative to the second housing 52 can be realized through the connecting piece 10.

[0037] In the second scenario, the rod 11 can be arranged in the third structural member 40 and connected to the second structural member 30 through the second connecting portion 13, so that the third structural member 40 (such as a circuit board) can be fixed relative to the second shell 52 through the connecting member 10. Meanwhile, a screw can pass through the first shell 51 and extend into the rod 11 and be connected to the first connecting portion 12, so that the first shell 51 can be fixed relative to the connecting member 10 through the connecting member 10. Thus, the relative fixation between the first shell 51, the third structural member 40 and the second shell 52 can be achieved through the cooperation of the connecting member 10 and the screw. In the case that the screw has a relatively large length, it can be screwed with the second shell 52 through the first shell 51 and the third structural member 40. However, due to the large length of the screw, it is not easy to align the hole position during the arrangement process, and the probability of collision with the third structural member 40 is high. In particular, in the case that the third structural member 40 is provided with electronic devices, if the electronic devices are collided, the entire third structural member 40 may fail. In the case that the screw as the fastener 60 can pass through the first shell 51 and be connected to the first connecting portion 12 of the connecting member 10 in the accommodation space 53, and the second connecting portion 13 can pass through the third structural member 40 and be connected to the second shell 52, the length of the rod 11 can be relatively shortened, which can facilitate the alignment and assembly and reduce the probability of collision.

[0038] In the embodiment, the connecting member 10 can include the rod 11, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13. The two ends of the rod 11 in the length direction can be respectively provided with the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13. The first connecting portion 12 can be connected to the first structural member 20, and the second connecting portion 13 can be connected to the second structural member 30. Thus, the connecting member 10 can have the following two use scenarios: the first connecting portion 12 is not connected to the first structural member 20, and the second connecting portion 13 is connected to the second structural member 30; and the first connecting portion 12 is connected to the first structural member 20, and the second connecting portion 13 is connected to the second structural member 30. Thus, the connecting member 10 has multiple use function scenarios, so that the application range of the connecting member 10 is increased. In addition, the first end 111 of the rod 11 is provided with the first connecting portion 12. The first connecting portion 12 is used to connect the first structural member 20. In the case that the first structural member 20 is connected, the local part of the first structural member 20 can be located in the rod 11, so that the local part of the first structural member 20 can be physically protected by the rod 11.

[0039] It should be noted that, in the following description, the first structural member 20 is taken as an example of a screw, and the second structural member 30 is taken as an example of a second shell 52.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, the first connecting portion 12 is arranged on the first end 111 of the rod body 11, and the second connecting portion 13 is arranged on the second end 112 of the rod body 11. In the case that the first connecting portion 12 connects the first structural member 20 and the second connecting portion 13 connects the second structural member 30, the radial dimension of the rod body 11 can remain unchanged. That is, the rod body 11 can be made of a rigid material (e.g., stainless steel, iron, etc.) so that the radial dimension of the rod body 11 can remain unchanged in the case that the first connecting portion 12 connects the first structural member 20 and the second connecting portion 13 connects the second structural member 30. In the case that the rod body 11 is made of a rigid material, the strength of the rod body 11 can be ensured, the service life of the rod body 11 can be prolonged, and the damage to the second structural member 30 connected by the connecting member 10 can be reduced.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the first end 111 of the rod body 11 can include a first surface 1111 and a first annular surface 1112. The first surface 1111 can have an included angle with the length direction of the rod body 11, and the edge of the first annular surface 1112 can be opposite to the edge of the first surface 1111. The extension direction of the first annular surface 1112 can be consistent with the length direction of the rod body 11. The first connecting portion 12 can be a first recess with a helical protrusion arranged on the first surface 1111 or the first annular surface 1112. Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the first end 111 of the rod body 11 can include a first surface 1111 and a first annular surface 1112. The first surface 1111 can have an included angle with the length direction of the rod body 11, and the edge of the first annular surface 1112 can be opposite to the edge of the first surface 1111. The extension direction of the first annular surface 1112 can be consistent with the length direction of the rod body 11. The first connecting portion 12 can be a first recess with a helical protrusion arranged on the first surface 1111 or the first annular surface 1112.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, the first end 111 of the rod body 11 can include a first surface 1111 and a first annular surface 1112. The first surface 1111 can have an included angle with the length direction of the rod body 11, and the edge of the first annular surface 1112 can be opposite to the edge of the first surface 1111. The extension direction of the first annular surface 1112 can be consistent with the length direction of the rod body 11. The first connecting portion 12 can be a first recess with a helical protrusion arranged on the first surface 1111 or the first annular surface 1112.

[0043] ​Alternatively, the rod body 11 can have a first surface 1111 and a second surface opposite to each other, and a ring surface connecting the first surface 1111 and the second surface, the first surface 1111 and the second surface can be parallel or not parallel to each other, and at least one of the first surface 1111 and the second surface is not perpendicular to the extension direction of the ring surface, the first ring surface 1112 is a ring surface connecting a section of the first surface 1111, and the first connecting part 12 can be a first recess provided with a helical convex part on the first surface 1111 or the first ring surface 1112. For example, the first shell 51 and the second shell 52 of the electronic device 50 can form a containing space 53, the part of the first shell 51 relative to the second shell 52 includes a first part and a second part, the first part is parallel to the second shell 52, and the second part is arranged around the periphery of the first part and forms an obtuse angle with the first part; the first surface 1111 can be inclined to the first ring surface 1112, and in the case that the second connecting part 13 is perpendicular to the third structural member 40 parallel to the second shell 52 and connected with the second shell 52, the first surface 1111 can abut against the inner side surface of the second part of the first shell 51, and a screw can pass through the second part and be connected with the first connecting part 12 of the connecting piece 10 on the outer side surface of the second part; in this way, the relative fixation between the first shell 51, the third structural member 40 and the second shell 52 can be realized through the cooperation of the connecting piece 10 and the screw, and the first shell 51 can be supported through the abutment of the connecting piece 10.

[0044] In the embodiment, the first connecting part 12 can be a first recess recessed and having a thread-shaped convex part, so as to realize connection and disconnection under the action of rotation force with the helical recess of the first structural member 20.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the first surface 1111 can be recessed with a second recess 1113 communicating with the first recess, the second recess 1113 can have a first target contour to form a target space, or the second recess 1113 can cooperate with the local first recess communicating with the second recess 1113 to have a first target contour to form a target space; alternatively, the first ring surface 1112 can satisfy a second target contour.

[0046] The target space can be in a linear distribution (a first first target profile) so that a linear screwdriver or other operation tool can operate (e.g., forward rotation, reverse rotation, etc.) the connecting piece 10 in the target space, thereby achieving the connection or disassembly between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural part 30. The target space can also be in a cross distribution (a second first target profile) so that a cross screwdriver or other operation tool can operate (e.g., forward rotation, reverse rotation, etc.) the connecting piece 10 in the target space, thereby achieving the connection or disassembly between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural part 30. The target space can also be in other shapes, which are not limited here. The target space can be independently formed by the second recess 1113 or formed in cooperation with the first recess. For example, in the case of independent formation, the second recess 1113 can include a first gap and a second gap opposite the recessed position of the first surface 1111. The first gap and the second gap can form a target space with a first target profile. The two ends of the cross structure can correspond to the first gap and the second gap, respectively, and the cross structure can be rotated to achieve the connection or disassembly between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural part 30. For example, in the case of cooperation with the first recess, as shown in Figure 1 , the second recess 1113 can include four gaps recessed from the first surface 1111. The four gaps and the space of the first recess communicating the four gaps can form a target space with a first target profile. The cross screwdriver can be partially corresponded to the four gaps and partially corresponded to the first recess, and the cross screwdriver can be rotated to achieve the connection or disassembly between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural part 30.

[0047] The first annular surface 1112 can satisfy a regular hexagon (a first second target profile), as shown in Figure 2 , so that an internal hexagonal wrench can be sleeved outside the first annular surface 1112 to operate (e.g., forward rotation, reverse rotation, etc.) the connecting piece 10, thereby achieving the connection or disassembly between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural part 30. The first annular surface 1112 can also satisfy a square (a second second target profile), so that a clamping tool can clamp two surfaces of the first annular surface 1112 opposite to each other to operate (e.g., forward rotation, reverse rotation, etc.) the connecting piece 10, thereby achieving the connection or disassembly between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural part 30.

[0048] In the embodiment, the connecting piece 10 can be provided with a first target profile or a second target profile, so that an operation tool adapted to the first target profile or the second target profile can conveniently operate the connecting piece 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second end 112 can include a second annular surface 1121, the extension direction of the second annular surface 1121 can be consistent with the length direction of the rod body 11; the second connecting part 13 can be a helical convex part provided for the second annular surface 1121; the second end 112 can have a first section 1122 and a second section 1123 along the length direction of the rod body 11, the first section 1122 and the second section 1123 can be arranged along the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112, the radial dimension of the first section 1122 can be greater than the radial dimension of the second section 1123, and the first section 1122 and the second section 1123 are both provided with the helical convex part.

[0050] That is, the second annular surface 1121 can have the helical convex part to be able to pass through the third structural member 40 and be screwed with the second housing 52, and the helical convex part includes the first section 1122 and the second section 1123 with different radial dimensions, the second section 1123 with the smaller radial dimension can be first extended into the screwing groove of the second housing 52 in the process of being screwed with the second housing 52, the pre-positioning before screwing can be realized, and then a rotating force can be applied to the connecting piece 10 to make the first section 1122 and the second section 1123 of the second end 112 be screwed together with the screwing groove of the second housing 52, and in the case that the second end 112 is screwed together with the second housing 52, the first section 1122 is screwed with one section in the thickness direction of the second housing 52, and the second section 1123 is screwed with another section in the thickness direction of the second housing 52.

[0051] Here, the first section 1122 can also be screwed with the third structural member 40 in the process of passing through the third structural member 40, to relatively fix the connecting piece 10, the third structural member 40 and the second housing 52.

[0052] In the embodiment, the connection between the second connecting part 13 and the second structural member 30 can be pre-positioned by the radial dimension of the second connecting part 13 being smaller than the second section 1123 of the first section 1122, so that the connection efficiency can be improved.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the radial dimension of the rod body 11 corresponding to the first end 111 can be greater than the radial dimension of the rod body 11 corresponding to the second end 112, to form an annular stepped surface 113 between the first end 111 and the second end 112 of the rod body 11. By the provision of the stepped surface 113, in the case that the second end 112 passes through the third structural member 40 and is connected with the second housing 52, the stepped surface 113 can abut against the surface of the third structural member 40 facing away from the second housing 52, so that the probability of the third structural member 40 moving away from the second housing 52 can be reduced.

[0054] The second aspect

[0055] This disclosure provides an electronic device 50, see [link to document]. Figure 3 As shown, it may include: a first housing 51, a second housing 52, a third structural member 40, and a connector 10. The second housing 52 and the first housing 51 can define an accommodating space 53. The third structural member 40 can be disposed within the accommodating space 53. The connector 10 may include: a rod 11, a first connecting portion 12, and a second connecting portion 13. The two ends of the rod 11 along its length can be a first end 111 and a second end 112, respectively. The first connecting portion 12 can be disposed inside the first end 111 for connecting the first structural member 20, and can also connect the first structural member 20. In the case of 0, a portion of the first structural member 20 may be located inside the rod 11; the second connecting portion 13 may be disposed outside the second end 112 for connecting the second structural member 30, and the second structural member 30 may be located outside the rod 11 when connecting the second structural member 30; wherein, one of the first connecting portion 12 or the second connecting portion 13 can be connected to the third structural member 40; the electronic device 50 may include a fastener 60 for connecting the other of the first connecting portion 12 or the second connecting portion 13 through the first housing 51 or the second housing 52.

[0056] The electronic device 50 can be a laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc.; the first housing 51 and the second housing 52 can be the upper cover and lower cover of the electronic device 50, respectively. The first connecting part 12 can be connected to the protrusion on the surface of the second housing 52 corresponding to the third structural member 40, and can be connected to the second housing 52 and clamp the second connecting part 13 as a clamping member, such as a fastener 60; or, the screw, which is a fastener 60, can pass through the first housing 51 and connect to the first connecting part 12 of the connector 10 in the receiving space 53, and the second connecting part 13 can pass through the third structural member 40 and connect to the second housing 52.

[0057] In this embodiment, the connection between the third structural member 40 and the second housing 52 can be achieved through the cooperation of the connector 10 and the fastener 60, or the connection between the first housing 51, the third structural member 40 and the second housing 52 can be achieved. This allows the connector 10 to have multiple usage scenarios and multiple usage ranges, and to meet the connection requirements in different scenarios.

[0058] In addition, when the length of the screw is large, the screw can pass through the first shell 51, the third structural member 40 and be screwed with the second shell 52, but due to the large length of the screw, it is not easy to align the hole position during threading, and the probability of collision with the third structural member 40 is high, especially when the third structural member 40 is provided with electronic devices. If the electronic devices are collided, the entire third structural member 40 may fail. The screw as the fastener 60 can pass through the first shell 51 and be connected with the first connecting portion 12 of the connecting member 10 in the accommodation space 53, and the second connecting portion 13 can pass through the third structural member 40 and be connected with the second shell 52, so that the length of the fastener 60 can be relatively shortened, the alignment assembly can be facilitated, and the probability of collision can be reduced. In addition, due to the large length of the screw and the connection with the third structural member 40 for fixation, during the process of disassembling the screw, the third structural member 40 is in a movable state, and the risk of collision with the second shell 52 and other structures is high. The screw as the fastener 60 is connected with the first connecting portion 12 of the connecting member 10 in the accommodation space 53, and can avoid the third structural member 40, so that during the process of disassembling the fastener 60, the third structural member 40 can still be stable relative to the second shell 52.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown, when the first connecting portion 12 is connected with the first structural member 20 and the second connecting portion 13 is connected with the second structural member 30, the radial dimension of the rod body 11 remains unchanged. That is, the rod body 11 can be made of a rigid material (such as stainless steel, iron, etc.) so that the radial dimension of the rod body 11 can remain unchanged when the first connecting portion 12 is connected with the first structural member 20 and the second connecting portion 13 is connected with the second structural member 30. When the rod body 11 is made of a rigid material, the strength of the rod body 11 can be ensured, the service life of the rod body 11 can be prolonged, and the damage to the second structural member 30 connected with the connecting member 10 can be reduced.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3As shown, the connecting piece 10 can connect the at least one third structural member 40 with the second housing 52, one of the first connecting portion 12 or the second connecting portion 13 is connected with the second housing 52; the electronic device 50 comprises a fastener 60, the fastener 60 can connect the first housing 51 with the connecting piece 10, the other of the first connecting portion 12 or the second connecting portion 13 is connected with the first housing 51. For example, the second connecting portion 13 can pass through one or more third structural members 40 and be connected with the second housing 52, a screw as the fastener 60 can pass through the first housing 51 and be connected with the first connecting portion 12 of the connecting piece 10 in the accommodating space 53; in this way, the first housing 51, the third structural member 40 and the second housing 52 can be connected by the fastener 60 and the connecting piece 10, and a relatively stable structure can be formed.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the fastener 60 can pass through the first housing 51 to partially extend into the accommodating space 53 and be connected with the first connecting portion 12; and / or, the length of the fastener 60 can satisfy a consistent condition with the length of the rod body 11.

[0062] The fastener 60 can be a screw with a nut, when the fastener 60 passes through the first housing 51 and is connected with the first connecting portion 12 in the accommodating space 53, the nut can abut against the outer surface of the first housing 51 to fix the first housing 51; or, the fastener 60 can pass through the first housing 51 and be threadedly connected with the first housing 51 to fix the first housing 51, and be connected with the first connecting portion 12 in the accommodating space 53.

[0063] The length of the fastener 60 can satisfy a consistent condition with the length of the rod body 11, that is, the length of the fastener 60 can be slightly greater than, equal to or slightly less than the length of the rod body 11. When the length of the fastener 60 satisfies the consistent condition with the length of the rod body 11, the length of the rod body 11 can be relatively shortened, which can facilitate alignment assembly and reduce the probability of collision.
