TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a connector and electronic equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In today's fast-iterating electronic product market, the rapid changes in technology not only drive the continuous expansion of electronic product functions, but also promote the diversification of product forms, thereby greatly enriching consumers' choices and meeting their diverse needs. From smartphones to smart homes, from wearable devices to high-performance computing devices, the pace of innovation in electronic products has never stopped. However, this rapid pace of development has intensified competition in the electronic product market, making manufacturers face more severe challenges in product performance improvement, cost control, design innovation, and production process optimization.
[0003] Among the many components of electronic products, connectors, as the key bridge for signal transmission and power delivery between electronic devices, are self-evident in their importance. In particular, in the manufacturing field of electronic communication and network equipment, the RJ45 (Registered Jack) connector, as the core component of data transmission, its rationality of structural design, the level of manufacturing efficiency, and the stability of performance are directly related to the overall performance of the device, production cost, and the final user experience.

Although this connection method ensures the firmness and stability of the connection to some extent, it also has some shortcomings in the actual production process. For example, the welding process requires high temperature and long time, which not only increases the production cost, but also may cause certain thermal damage to the materials of the connector, affecting its long-term reliability. In addition, the smoke and exhaust generated during the welding process also cause certain pollution to the environment, which is not conducive to environmental protection and sustainable development.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0040] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplicity, the elements and settings of particular examples in the following description are shown in great detail. Of course, they are merely examples and are presented to illustrate the application. The purpose is not to limit the application. In addition, reference numerals can be repeated in different examples to indicate like or similar elements and / or settings. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.
[0041] For the purpose of description, spatial relative terms can be used in the description to describe the relative position relationship or movement of one element or feature with respect to another element or feature as shown in the drawings, such as "internal", "external", "inner side", "outer side", "under", "below", "above", "upper", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over or the posture is changed or the movement state is changed, the directional indications will also change accordingly, for example: the element described as "under" or "below" another element or feature will be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Therefore, the example term "below" can include both the upper and lower positions. The device can be additionally oriented (rotated by 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative relationship descriptors used in the description are interpreted accordingly.
[0042] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-4 A connector for realizing signal transmission between electronic devices is shown. The connector includes a terminal assembly 1 and an insulating body 2, and the terminal assembly 1 and the insulating body 2 are detachably connected to improve the flexibility and convenience of assembly between the terminal assembly 1 and the insulating body 2, and effectively improve the production efficiency.
[0043] The terminal assembly 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11 to facilitate positioning connection with the insulating body 2, realize detachable assembly, improve assembly efficiency, and avoid adverse effects such as welding. By using a detachable connection mode, the assembly between the terminal assembly 1 and the insulating body 2 is more flexible and convenient, effectively improving the production efficiency.
[0044] The insulating body 2 is a regular cuboid structure, for example, having a front wall 21, a first side wall 22, a rear wall 23 and a second side wall 24 connected in sequence, the front wall 21 and the rear wall 23 are oppositely arranged, the first side wall 22 and the second side wall 24 are oppositely arranged, and the front wall 21, the first side wall 22, the rear wall 23 and the second side wall 24 together form a closed or semi-closed space. Among them, the front wall 21 is provided with a plug hole 211 for plug connection with an external plug (not shown in the figure) to realize signal transmission.
[0045] The rear wall 23 is recessed towards the front wall 21 to form a containing space 231, which is arranged to contain the terminal assembly 1 to protect the terminal assembly 1 from external environment and prolong the service life of the connector.
[0046] The first side wall 22 is provided with a positioning groove 221 communicating with the containing space 231, which is arranged to accommodate the positioning protrusion 11 to realize the positioning connection between the terminal assembly 1 and the insulating body 2, thereby avoiding the adverse effects that may be caused by the traditional welding method, such as thermal damage and material deformation.
[0047] It should be noted that the above-mentioned positioning groove 221 is not limited to being arranged on the first side wall 22, but can also be arranged on the second side wall 24 to realize bilateral positioning and further improve the stability of the connection between the terminal assembly 1 and the insulating body 2, making the connector more stable and reliable during signal transmission.
[0048] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4 The positioning protrusion 11 includes a first positioning protrusion 111 and a second positioning protrusion 112, which are arranged staggered, and precise positioning is realized through multiple points, thereby effectively improving the positioning efficiency. For example, the connector has a first direction (X axis as shown in Figure 1 , a second direction (Y axis as shown in Figure 1 , and a third direction (Z axis as shown in Figure 1 ), the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction is, for example, the vertical direction. The first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112 are arranged staggered along the first direction, and the first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112 are also arranged staggered along the third direction, realizing the distribution of positioning points in different directions, further enhancing the stability and accuracy of positioning, and also providing convenience for rapid assembly.
[0049] Among them, the positioning groove 221 matched with the positioning protrusion 11 can be one or two to realize one-to-one connection.
[0050] Exemplarily, the positioning groove 221 is one, which comprises a first groove 2211 and a second groove 2212 arranged in communication, and the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2212 have a preset included angle, such as 90°, so that the positioning groove 221 is configured in an L shape to adapt to the staggered layout of the first positioning convex body 111 and the second positioning convex body 112. The first groove 2211 is arranged to accommodate the first positioning convex body 111, and the second groove 2212 is arranged to accommodate the second positioning convex body 112. The above design simplifies the hole opening process and reduces the process complexity.
[0051] Alternatively, the positioning groove 221 is two, which are designed as two independent groove bodies corresponding to the first positioning convex body 111 and the second positioning convex body 112, respectively. The two groove bodies are independently arranged in space. Each positioning groove 221 corresponds to the corresponding positioning convex body one by one to achieve precise positioning. Although this method increases the number of holes, it provides higher positioning accuracy and stability, and is suitable for occasions with more stringent positioning requirements.
[0052] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-6 The terminal assembly 1 comprises a connection terminal group 12, a base 13 and a circuit board 14. The first positioning convex body 111 is arranged on the connection terminal group 12, and the second positioning convex body 112 is arranged on the base 13, which ensures that the connection terminal group 12 and the base 13 can be accurately aligned and connected together with the insulating body 2, thereby avoiding poor electrical connection or mechanical failure caused by misalignment.
[0053] The connection terminal group 12 and the base 13 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, the connection terminal group 12 is connected with the base 13, and the connection terminal group 12 and the circuit board 14 are arranged in sequence along the third direction, and the connection terminal group 12 is connected with the circuit board 14. This layout not only facilitates assembly, but also makes the entire terminal assembly 1 more compact in structure.
[0054] The connection terminal group 12 and the base 13 are connected by appropriate connection methods, such as bolt fixing, buckle connection or welding, to achieve stable connection and ensure that they will not loosen due to vibration or external force during long-term use.
[0055] The connection terminal group 12 and the circuit board 14 are arranged in sequence along the third direction. This vertical or approximately vertical layout optimizes space utilization and facilitates electrical signal transmission. The connection terminal group 12 and the circuit board 14 are electrically connected by precise welding technology or other reliable electrical connection methods, such as plug-in connectors, to ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission.
[0056] The circuit board 14 is, for example, a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) with high integration, good electrical performance and reliable mechanical strength. The circuit board 14 integrates the required electronic components and circuit wiring. After electrical connection with the connection terminal set 12, it forms a complete electrical system together, meeting the needs of various application scenarios.
[0057] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-6 The connection terminal set 12 includes a first conductive terminal 121 and a second conductive terminal 122, which are respectively electrically connected with the circuit board 14. The first conductive terminal 121 is provided with a plurality of first pins 1212, one end of which is clamped in the second conductive terminal 122, and the other end is electrically connected with the circuit board 14, which not only simplifies the assembly process, but also improves the stability and reliability of the connection. The second conductive terminal 122 is provided with a plurality of second pins 1223, one end of which is electrically connected with the circuit board 14, ensuring smooth transmission of electrical signals, and the other end passes through the base 13, providing convenience for connection with other components.
[0058] The second conductive terminal 122 is connected with the base 13, and the two can be connected by limiting to improve the reliability during connection. For example, the second conductive terminal 122 is provided with a first hook body 1221, and the base 13 is provided with a second hook body 131, and the first hook body 1221 and the second hook body 131 are precisely clamped, forming a mutual restraint relationship, effectively limiting the relative movement between the second conductive terminal 122 and the base 13, thereby realizing the stable connection between the two.
[0059] The first conductive terminal 121 is arranged on the side of the second conductive terminal 122 away from the base 13, and the first conductive terminal 121 is connected with the second conductive terminal 122. For example, the first conductive terminal 121 is provided with a first limiting convex body 1211, and the second conductive terminal 122 is provided with a second limiting convex body 1222, and the cooperation of the first limiting convex body 1211 and the second limiting convex body 1222 realizes the limiting connection of the first conductive terminal 121 and the second conductive terminal 122.
[0060] Exemplarily, the first limiting convex body 1211 comprises a first sub-limiting convex body 12111 and a second sub-limiting convex body 12112, and the second limiting convex body 1222 comprises a third sub-limiting convex body 12221 and a fourth sub-limiting convex body 12222. The third sub-limiting convex body 12221 is arranged below the first sub-limiting convex body 12111 to support the first sub-limiting convex body 12111. The fourth sub-limiting convex body 12222 is arranged above the second sub-limiting convex body 12112 to effectively press the second sub-limiting convex body 12112. The up-and-down clamping limiting manner further enhances the firmness and stability of the connection between the first conductive terminal 121 and the second conductive terminal 122.
[0061] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-6 The second conductive terminal 122 is provided with a guide block 1224, and the inner wall of the accommodation space 231 is provided with a corresponding guide groove 2311. In the installed state, the guide block 1224 is arranged to move in the guide groove 2311, ensuring that the second conductive terminal 122 can be assembled into the insulating body 2.
[0062] It should be noted that the above-mentioned guide block 1224 is not limited to one, but can also be multiple. The multiple guide blocks 1224 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second conductive terminal 122 along the first direction, which not only enhances the stability during assembly, but also helps to better guide the second conductive terminal 122 during assembly. The length and shape of the guide blocks 1224 located on the same side can be the same or different. For example, the guide blocks 1224 located on the same side are provided with two guide blocks 1224, one of which is a cuboid shape and located in the middle of the second conductive terminal 122, and the second conductive terminal 122 extends along the first direction to provide stable guidance and support. The other guide block 1224 is wedge-shaped and located at the side edge of the second conductive terminal 122 away from the base 13, which helps to more easily insert the guide groove 2311 during assembly, especially when a small gap needs to be overcome or the assembly angle needs to be adjusted.
[0063] The guide blocks 1224 not only play a guiding role in the design of the assembly of the connection terminal set 12 and the insulating body 2, but also realize mutual support effect through the cooperation with the guide groove 2311. This supporting effect effectively prevents the connection terminal set 12 from falling off downward after assembly is completed, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the entire connector.
[0064] In actual operation, the guide blocks 1224 located on the same side can be arranged to move in the same guide groove 2311, which further simplifies the assembly process and ensures the accuracy and consistency of the assembly.
[0065] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-6As shown, the base 13 is provided with a first limiting portion 132, and the insulating body 2 is provided with a second limiting portion 26, the first limiting portion 132 and the second limiting portion 26 are limitedly connected to realize the alignment installation between the base 13 and the insulating body 2. The first limiting portion 132 not only serves to limit and position the position of the insulating body 2, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the structure to a certain extent.
[0066] Among them, the first limiting portion 132 is not limited to one, but also two, two first limiting portions 132 are symmetrically arranged on the base 13 along the third direction, which helps to ensure that the insulating body 2 can be uniformly stressed during installation, avoiding deflection or misplacement.
[0067] In order to ensure that the base 13 and the insulating body 2 can be precisely docked, the number of the second limiting portion 26 is completely consistent with the first limiting portion 132, that is, also two, and the position layout needs to match the first limiting portion 132 on the base 13. This one-to-one correspondence ensures the accuracy and stability during assembly.
[0068] In order to improve the ease of use and prevent incorrect assembly during the assembly process, the first limiting portion 132 is, for example, a protruding structure, and the first limiting portion 132 is designed to be a special shape, such as a trapezoidal shape. The design of the trapezoidal shape not only facilitates visual recognition of the correct assembly direction, but also effectively prevents the insulating body 2 from being forcibly installed in the incorrect direction, thereby playing a foolproof role. It can be understood that in order to match the shape of the first limiting portion 132, the second limiting portion 26 should also be designed to be a corresponding special shape, such as a groove structure, to ensure that the two can be closely and accurately fitted.
[0069] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-7 As shown, the connector includes a shell 3, which is sleeved on the outside of the insulating body 2, and the shell 3 closely fits the outer contour of the insulating body 2 to form an effective protective barrier. For example, the insulating body 2 needs to meet the dual requirements of electrical insulation and mechanical support, and the insulating body 2 is also provided with oppositely arranged upper and lower walls 27 and 28, and the shell 3 is wrapped around the upper wall 27, the first side wall 22, the lower wall 28 and the second side wall 24, ensuring that the connector is fully protected in all directions. This design not only improves the overall strength of the connector, but also effectively prevents external environmental interference and damage.
[0070] Among them, the shell 3 is connected with the connecting terminal group 12 to form the effect of grounding. For example, the connecting terminal group 12 also includes a grounding pin 123, one end of the grounding pin 123 is connected with the second conductive terminal 122, and the other end of the grounding pin 123 passes through the circuit board 14, the insulating body 2 and the shell 3 to the outside of the connector, so that the grounding pin 123 can serve as a bridge between the connector and the external grounding system.
[0071] The circuit board 14 as the internal circuit carrier of the connector needs to meet the requirements of electrical connection and signal transmission in design, and the circuit board 14 is lapped with the shell 3 through the grounding pin 123 to realize grounding. This design not only simplifies the grounding connection process, but also improves the reliability and stability of the grounding connection. When the connector is connected to the circuit system, the grounding pin 123 can effectively lead the static electricity and interference current inside the connector to the external grounding system, thereby protecting the normal operation of the circuit system.
[0072] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-7 The shell 3 includes an enclosing body 31 and an extension section 32, and the enclosing body 31 is a half-enclosing vertical structure formed by a continuous bending process. For example, the enclosing body 31 is sequentially bent and arranged along the first side wall 22, the lower wall 28, the second side wall 24, and the upper wall 27 to form a complete and continuous half-enclosing shape, which not only simplifies the structure of the shell 3, but also significantly improves the efficiency of mold development and production assembly.
[0073] In the related art, two sets of molds are usually needed to manufacture the RJ45 connector, which are respectively used to manufacture the upper and lower parts of the shell. This manufacturing method not only increases the cost of mold development and maintenance, but also requires two workers to cooperate to complete the assembly process, thereby increasing the labor cost. However, in the embodiment, the continuous bending structure of the enclosing body 31 is designed to realize the manufacturing of the entire shell 3 by one set of mold, which not only reduces the number of molds and the cost of mold development and maintenance, but also makes the assembly process more simple, which can be completed by only one worker, thereby effectively reducing the labor cost.
[0074] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-7 The enclosing body 31 includes a starting section 311, an intermediate section 312, and a terminal section 313 connected in sequence to form a continuous and compact structure. The terminal section 313 is connected with the extension section 32, and the extension section 32 is bent relative to the terminal section 313 to cover the starting section 311.
[0075] The starting section 311 is the starting point of the entire enclosing body 31, which is used to cover and fix on a specific component or structure, for example, the first side wall 22. However, it is worth noting that the covering position of the starting section 311 is not absolutely fixed, and according to the actual application scene and needs, it can also cover the second side wall 24, and at this time, the covering positions of the intermediate section 312 and the terminal section 313 will be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the entire enclosing body 31 can be tightly and stably attached to the target structure.
[0076] The intermediate section 312 serves as a bridge connecting the starting section 311 and the ending section 313, and is designed to cover and protect the lower wall 28, as well as the second side wall 24 or the first side wall 22, depending on the covering position of the starting section 311. This design not only enhances the structural strength of the enclosure 31, but also improves its wrapping and protection performance for the target structure.
[0077] The ending section 313 is located at the end of the enclosure 31 and is used to cover the upper wall 27. This design enables the entire enclosure 31 to form a complete semi-enclosure structure, thereby providing all-around protection for the target structure. At the same time, the ending section 313 is also connected with the extension section 32, which not only enhances the overall stability of the enclosure 31, but also provides convenience for subsequent assembly and fixation.
[0078] The extension section 32 serves as an extension of the enclosure 31 and is bent to cover the starting section 311, thereby further enhancing the stability and connection strength of the entire structure. To achieve this goal, the starting section 311 is provided with a first limiting block 3111, and the extension section 32 is correspondingly provided with a first limiting block hole 321. During assembly, the first limiting block 3111 can be precisely inserted into the first limiting block hole 321, thereby achieving a stable connection between the enclosure 31 and the extension section 32. This design not only simplifies the assembly process, but also improves the reliability and durability of the connection.
[0079] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-7 The starting section 311 includes a first part 3112 and a second part 3113, the first part 3112 is connected with the intermediate section 312 through the second part 3113, and the first part 3112 is bent towards the first side wall 22, which not only enhances the adhesion of the starting section 311 and the first side wall 22, but also forms a staggered arrangement between the first part 3112 and the second part 3113. This staggered design not only increases the level of the structure, but also helps to improve the stability of the entire shell.
[0080] The second part 3113 tightly connects the first part 3112 and the intermediate section 312 together, and the starting section 311 can stably support and guide the extension of the intermediate section 312, thereby ensuring the continuity and integrity of the entire structure.
[0081] The extension section 32 covers the first part 3112, achieving the flatness of the appearance of the shell 3, which not only improves the aesthetics of the shell 3, but also helps to reduce the noise and vibration that may be caused by the uneven structure.
[0082] And the insulation body 2 is provided with a avoiding groove 29, and the first part 3112 is attached in the avoiding groove 29. When the first part 3112 is attached in the avoiding groove 29, it can not only further stabilize the position of the starting section 311, but also effectively reduce the friction and wear between the starting section 311 and the insulation body 2, thereby prolonging the service life of the whole structure.
[0083] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-7 The second limiting clamping hole 314 is arranged on the surrounding body 31, and the position of the clamping hole can be adjusted according to actual needs. The second limiting clamping hole 314 can be arranged on the starting section 311 or the intermediate section 312. In order to further enhance the stability of the connection, the second limiting clamping hole 314 can be arranged in multiple, and is symmetrically distributed on the opposite two side walls. This not only helps to uniformly distribute the connection stress, but also improves the stability of the whole structure.
[0084] The insulation body 2 is provided with a corresponding second limiting clamping block 25, and the second limiting clamping block 25 is inserted into the second limiting clamping hole 314. The second limiting clamping block 25 has a shape and size matched with the second limiting clamping hole 314, so that it can be tightly inserted into the second limiting clamping hole 314. Through the clamping mode, the insulation body 2 and the surrounding body 31 can be stably and reliably connected.
[0085] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-7 The connection position of the terminal section 313 and the intermediate section 312 is provided with at least one stress hole 315. Without affecting the strength of the whole structure, the stress concentration that the connection position may bear is dispersed and relieved through the stress hole 315, thereby improving the durability and service life of the whole surrounding body 31.
[0086] Each bending position of the surrounding body 31 is chamfered. This not only effectively reduces the stress concentration and reduces the risk of damage to the structure at the bending position, but also makes the edge of the surrounding body 31 smoother, avoids the problem that the surrounding body 31 may produce stress concentration and sharp edge in the bending process, and improves the safety and comfort of use.
[0087] The intermediate section 312 is provided with a grounding hole 3121, so that the grounding pin 123 can normally pass out and be connected with the grounding system of the electronic equipment, thereby improving the grounding effect and electrical safety of the whole equipment.
[0088] It should be noted that the above-mentioned insulation body 2 can also be provided with an annular protrusion 212, which is arranged close to the front wall 21. When the shell 3 is installed, the shell 3 can be aligned with the annular protrusion 212. The thickness of the annular protrusion 212 can be the same as the thickness of the shell 3. On the one hand, it plays a role in the flatness of the appearance, and on the other hand, it also plays a role in positioning the shell 3.
[0089] The present disclosure also provides an electronic device including a device body carrying various functions and components of the electronic device, and a connector as in any one of the preceding embodiments. The connector is connected to the device body. The connector not only has high reliability and durability, but also has excellent electrical performance and mechanical strength.
[0090] The connector can accommodate multiple positioning protrusions through the positioning groove 221, and multiple buckle structures are arranged in a single hole to simultaneously position multiple components. This not only simplifies the mold structure and reduces the complexity of mold design, but also significantly improves the assembly efficiency. Moreover, after using this method, it is no longer necessary to design a buckle and a corresponding hole for each component, but multiple buckle structures can be integrated in one hole, thereby reducing the number and complexity of molds.
[0091] The simplification of the mold design reduces production costs and improves production efficiency. The convenience of the assembly process reduces manual operations and reduces assembly difficulty and error rate. This design also improves the overall stability and reliability of the connector, ensuring the stable operation of electronic products in complex environments.
[0092] In addition, the enclosure 3 is a half-enclosed upright structure formed by a continuous bending process, which not only simplifies the structure of the enclosure 3, but also significantly improves the efficiency of mold development and production assembly. By designing the continuous bending structure of the enclosure 31, a set of molds can complete the manufacture of the entire enclosure 3, which not only reduces the number of molds and the cost of mold development and maintenance, but also makes the assembly process more convenient, which can be completed by only one worker, thereby effectively reducing labor costs.
