[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0037] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0038] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a connector is used to enable signal transmission between electronic devices. The connector includes an insulating body 2 and a housing 3, which are detachably connected to improve the flexibility and convenience of assembly between the housing 3 and the insulating body 2, effectively improving production efficiency. The housing 3 is sleeved on the outside of the insulating body 2, and the housing 3 fits tightly against the outer contour of the insulating body 2 to form an effective protective barrier.

[0039] 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 arranged opposite each other, and the first side wall 22 and the second side wall 24 are arranged opposite each other. 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. The front wall 21 is provided with a plug hole 211 for plugging into an external plug (not shown in the figure) to realize signal transmission.

[0040] The insulating body 2 is also provided with an upper wall 27 and a lower wall 28 arranged opposite to each other. The housing 3 is arranged to wrap around the upper wall 27, the first side wall 22, the lower wall 28 and the second side wall 24 to ensure that the connector is fully protected in all directions. This design not only improves the overall strength of the connector, but also effectively prevents interference and damage from the external environment.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5As shown, the shell 3 includes an enclosing body 31 and an extension section 32. The enclosing body 31 is a semi-enclosed upright structure formed by a continuous bending process. For example, the enclosing body 31 is formed by bending and wrapping along the first side wall 22, the lower wall 28, the second side wall 24, and the upper wall 27 in sequence, forming a complete and continuous semi-enclosed shape, which not only simplifies the structure of the shell 3, but also significantly improves the efficiency of mold development and production assembly.

[0042] In related technologies, the industry typically requires two sets of molds to manufacture RJ45 connectors, one for the upper and one for the lower housing. This manufacturing method not only increases the cost of mold development and maintenance but also requires two workers to collaborate during assembly, thus increasing labor costs. However, in this embodiment, by designing a continuous bending structure for the enclosure 31, the entire housing 3 can be manufactured using only one mold. This not only reduces the number of molds and lowers the cost of mold development and maintenance but also simplifies the assembly process, requiring only one worker, thereby effectively reducing labor costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the enclosing body 31 includes a starting segment 311, an intermediate segment 312, and a terminating segment 313 connected in sequence, forming a continuous and compact structure. The terminating segment 313 is connected to an extension segment 32, which is bent relative to the terminating segment 313 to cover the starting segment 311.

[0044] The starting segment 311 serves as the starting point of the entire enclosure 31, used to cover and fix it to a specific component or structure, such as the first sidewall 22. However, it is worth noting that the coverage position of the starting segment 311 is not absolutely fixed. Depending on the actual application scenario and needs, it can also cover the second sidewall 24. In this case, the coverage positions of the middle segment 312 and the ending segment 313 will be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the entire enclosure 31 can fit tightly and securely against the target structure.

[0045] The intermediate segment 312 serves as a bridge connecting the starting segment 311 and the ending segment 313. It 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 coverage location of the starting segment 311. This design not only enhances the structural strength of the enclosure 31 but also improves its containment and protection performance for the target structure.

[0046] The termination section 313 is located at the end of the enclosure 31 and is used to cover the upper wall 27. This design allows the entire enclosure 31 to form a complete semi-enclosed structure, thereby providing all-round protection for the target structure. At the same time, the termination section 313 is also connected to the extension section 32, which not only enhances the overall stability of the enclosure 31, but also facilitates subsequent assembly and fixing.

[0047] The extension segment 32, as an extension of the enclosure 31, covers the starting segment 311 by bending, thereby further enhancing the stability and connection strength of the entire structure. To achieve this, the starting segment 311 is provided with a first limiting block 3111, and the extension segment 32 is correspondingly provided with a first limiting hole 321. During assembly, the first limiting block 3111 can be precisely inserted into the first limiting hole 321, thus achieving a stable connection between the enclosure 31 and the extension segment 32. This design not only simplifies the assembly process but also improves the reliability and durability of the connection.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the starting segment 311 includes a first part 3112 and a second part 3113. The first part 3112 is connected to the middle segment 312 through the second part 3113. The first part 3112 bends towards the first sidewall 22, which not only enhances the fit between the starting segment 311 and the first sidewall 22, but also creates a staggered arrangement between the first part 3112 and the second part 3113. This staggered design not only increases the sense of layering in the structure, but also helps to improve the stability of the entire shell.

[0049] The second part 3113 tightly connects the first part 3112 with the middle section 312. The starting section 311 can stably support and guide the extension of the middle section 312, thereby ensuring the continuity and integrity of the entire structure.

[0050] The extension section 32 covers the first part 3112, achieving a smooth appearance of the housing 3, which not only improves the aesthetics of the housing 3, but also helps to reduce noise and vibration that may be caused by uneven structure.

[0051] Furthermore, the insulating body 2 is provided with a clearance groove 29, and the first part 3112 is attached to the clearance groove 29. When the first part 3112 is attached to the clearance 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 insulating body 2, thereby extending the service life of the entire structure.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the enclosure 31 is provided with a second limiting hole 314. The position of the hole can be adjusted according to actual needs. The second limiting hole 314 can be set on the starting section 311 or on the middle section 312. In order to further enhance the stability of the connection, multiple second limiting holes 314 can be set and symmetrically distributed on two opposite side walls. This not only helps to evenly distribute the connection stress, but also improves the stability of the entire structure.

[0053] The insulating body 2 is provided with a corresponding second limiting block 25, which is inserted into the second limiting hole 314. The second limiting block 25 has a shape and size adapted to the second limiting hole 314, so that it can be tightly inserted into the second limiting hole 314. Through the snap-fit ​​method, a stable and reliable connection can be achieved between the insulating body 2 and the surrounding body 31.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, at least one stress hole 315 is provided at the connection position between the termination section 313 and the intermediate section 312. Without affecting the overall structural strength, the stress hole 315 disperses and alleviates the stress concentration that may be borne at the connection position, thereby improving the durability and service life of the entire enclosure 31.

[0055] Each bend of the enclosure 31 is chamfered, which not only effectively reduces stress concentration and lowers the risk of structural damage at the bend, but also makes the edges of the enclosure 31 smoother, avoiding stress concentration and sharp edges that may occur during bending, thus improving safety and comfort in use.

[0056] It should be noted that the aforementioned insulating body 2 may also be provided with an annular protrusion 212. The annular protrusion 212 is located near the front wall 21, and when the housing 3 is installed, the housing 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 housing 3, which on the one hand provides a smooth appearance, and on the other hand can also play a positioning role for the housing 3.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the connector includes a terminal assembly 1, which is detachably assembled with an insulating body 2. The rear wall 23 of the insulating body 2 is recessed toward the front wall 21 to form a receiving space 231. The receiving space 231 is configured to receive the terminal assembly 1, thereby protecting the terminal assembly 1 from damage by the external environment and extending the service life of the connector.

[0058] The terminal assembly 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11, and the insulating body 2 is provided with a corresponding positioning groove 221, so as to facilitate positioning and connection with the insulating body 2, improve assembly efficiency, and avoid adverse effects such as welding. By adopting a detachable connection method, the assembly between the terminal assembly 1 and the insulating body 2 is more flexible and convenient, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0059] The first sidewall 22 of the insulating body 2 is provided with a positioning groove 221 that communicates with the accommodating space 231. The positioning groove 221 is configured 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 traditional welding methods, such as heat damage and material deformation.

[0060] It should be noted that the positioning groove 221 is not limited to being provided on the first side wall 22, but can also be provided on the second side wall 24 to achieve double-sided positioning, which further improves 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.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-7 As shown, the positioning protrusion 11 includes a first positioning protrusion 111 and a second positioning protrusion 112. The first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112 are staggered, achieving precise positioning through multiple points, thereby effectively improving positioning efficiency. For example, the connector has a first direction (refer to...). Figure 1 The X-axis (as shown), the second direction (refer to) Figure 1 The Y-axis (as shown) and the third direction (refer to) Figure 1 As shown in the Z-axis diagram, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are mutually perpendicular, with the third direction being, for example, the vertical direction. The first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112 are staggered along the first direction, and the first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112 are also 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.

[0062] The positioning groove 221 that cooperates with the positioning protrusion 11 can be one or two to achieve a one-to-one correspondence connection.

[0063] For example, the positioning groove 221 is a single groove, which includes a first channel 2211 and a second channel 2212 connected together. The first channel 2211 and the second channel 2212 have a preset angle, such as 90°, so that the positioning groove 221 is constructed in an L-shape to accommodate the staggered arrangement of the first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112. The first channel 2211 is configured to accommodate the first positioning protrusion 111, and the second channel 2212 is configured to accommodate the second positioning protrusion 112. This design simplifies the opening process and reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process.

[0064] Alternatively, there may be two positioning slots 221, designed as two independent slots corresponding to the first positioning protrusion 111 and the second positioning protrusion 112, respectively. These two slots are spatially independent and separately arranged. Each positioning slot 221 corresponds one-to-one with its corresponding positioning protrusion, achieving precise positioning and insertion. Although this method increases the number of openings, it provides higher positioning accuracy and stability, making it suitable for applications with more stringent positioning requirements.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-7 As shown, the terminal assembly 1 includes a connecting terminal group 12, a base 13, and a circuit board 14. A first positioning protrusion 111 is disposed on the connecting terminal group 12, and a second positioning protrusion 112 is disposed on the base 13, ensuring that the connecting terminal group 12 and the base 13 can be accurately aligned and connected with the insulating body 2, thereby avoiding poor electrical connection or mechanical failure due to misalignment.

[0066] The terminal group 12 and the base 13 are arranged sequentially along a first direction, and the terminal group 12 is connected to the base 13. The terminal group 12 and the circuit board 14 are arranged sequentially along a third direction, and the terminal group 12 is connected to the circuit board 14. This layout not only facilitates assembly, but also makes the entire terminal assembly 1 more compact in structure.

[0067] The connection between the terminal block 12 and the base 13 is achieved through appropriate connection methods, such as bolt fixing, snap connection or welding, to ensure that they will not loosen due to vibration or external force during long-term use.

[0068] The terminal block 12 and the circuit board 14 are arranged sequentially along a third direction. This vertical or near-vertical layout optimizes space utilization and facilitates the transmission of electrical signals. The terminal block 12 and the circuit board 14 are electrically connected through precision soldering or other reliable electrical connection methods, such as plug-in connectors, to ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission.

[0069] Circuit board 14, for example, is a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), which features high integration, good electrical performance, and reliable mechanical strength. Circuit board 14 integrates the necessary electronic components and circuit wiring, and after being electrically connected with the connection terminal group 12, together they form a complete electrical system to meet the needs of various application scenarios.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-7As shown, the connection terminal group 12 includes a first conductive terminal 121 and a second conductive terminal 122, which are electrically connected to the circuit board 14. The first conductive terminal 121 has multiple first pins 1212, one end of which is fitted into the second conductive terminal 122, and the other end is electrically connected to the circuit board 14. This simplifies the assembly process and improves the stability and reliability of the connection. The second conductive terminal 122 has multiple second pins 1223, one end of which is electrically connected to the circuit board 14, ensuring smooth transmission of electrical signals. The other end of the second pin 1223 passes through the base 13, facilitating connection to other components.

[0071] The second conductive terminal 122 is connected to the base 13, and the two can be connected by a limiting connection to improve the reliability of the connection. For example, the second conductive terminal 122 may be provided with a first hook 1221, and the base 13 may be provided with a second hook 131. The first hook 1221 and the second hook 131 are precisely engaged, forming a mutually restraining relationship, which effectively restricts the relative movement between the second conductive terminal 122 and the base 13, thereby achieving a stable connection between the two.

[0072] The first conductive terminal 121 is disposed on the side of the second conductive terminal 122 away from the base 13, and the first conductive terminal 121 is connected to the second conductive terminal 122. For example, the first conductive terminal 121 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 1211, and the second conductive terminal 122 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 1222. The cooperation between the first limiting protrusion 1211 and the second limiting protrusion 1222 realizes the limiting connection between the first conductive terminal 121 and the second conductive terminal 122.

[0073] For example, the first limiting protrusion 1211 may include a first sub-limiting protrusion 12111 and a second sub-limiting protrusion 12112, and the second limiting protrusion 1222 may include a third sub-limiting protrusion 12221 and a fourth sub-limiting protrusion 12222. The third sub-limiting protrusion 12221 is disposed below the first sub-limiting protrusion 12111 to support the first sub-limiting protrusion 12111. The fourth sub-limiting protrusion 12222 is disposed above the second sub-limiting protrusion 12112, effectively pressing it down. This upper and lower clamping limiting method further enhances the robustness and stability of the connection between the first conductive terminal 121 and the second conductive terminal 122.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-7As shown, the second conductive terminal 122 is provided with a guide block 1224, and the inner wall of the accommodating space 231 is provided with a corresponding guide groove 2311. In the installation state, the guide block 1224 is moved within the guide groove 2311 to ensure that the second conductive terminal 122 can be assembled into the insulating body 2.

[0075] It should be noted that the aforementioned guide block 1224 is not limited to one, but can also be multiple, and multiple guide blocks 1224 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second conductive terminal 122 along the first direction. This not only enhances the stability during assembly, but also helps to better guide the second conductive terminal 122 during assembly. The guide blocks 1224 located on the same side can have the same length and different shapes. For example, two guide blocks 1224 are provided on the same side. One guide block 1224 is cuboid in shape and is located in the middle of the second conductive terminal 122, with the second conductive terminal 122 extending along the first direction to provide stable guidance and support. The other guide block 1224 is wedge-shaped and is located on the edge of the second conductive terminal 122 away from the base 13. This helps to more easily insert the guide groove 2311 during assembly, especially when it is necessary to overcome small gaps or adjust the assembly angle.

[0076] The guide blocks 1224 not only serve to guide the assembly of the connecting terminal group 12 and the insulating body 2, but their interaction with the guide groove 2311 also provides mutual support. This support effectively prevents the connecting terminal group 12 from falling downwards after assembly, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the entire connector.

[0077] In actual operation, the guide blocks 1224 located on the same side can be moved within the same guide groove 2311, which further simplifies the assembly process and ensures the accuracy and consistency of the assembly.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-7 As shown, the base 13 is provided with a first limiting part 132, and the insulating body 2 is provided with a second limiting part 26. The first limiting part 132 and the second limiting part 26 are connected to limit each other, so as to realize the alignment and installation between the base 13 and the insulating body 2. The first limiting part 132 is not only used 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.

[0079] The first limiting part 132 is not limited to one, but can also be two. The two first limiting parts 132 are symmetrically arranged on the base 13 along the third direction, which helps to ensure that the insulating body 2 can be evenly stressed during installation and avoid tilting or misalignment.

[0080] To ensure that the base 13 and the insulating body 2 can be precisely connected, the number of the second limiting part 26 is exactly the same as that of the first limiting part 132, that is, there are two of them, and their position layout must match the first limiting part 132 on the base 13. This one-to-one correspondence ensures the accuracy and stability during assembly.

[0081] To improve ease of assembly and prevent incorrect assembly, the first limiting part 132 is, for example, a raised structure, and is designed with an irregular shape, such as a trapezoid. The trapezoidal shape not only facilitates visual identification of the correct assembly direction, but its unique geometric features also effectively prevent the insulating body 2 from being forcibly installed in the wrong direction, thus serving a foolproof function. Understandably, to match the shape of the first limiting part 132, the second limiting part 26 should also be designed with a corresponding irregular shape, such as a groove structure, to ensure that the two can fit together tightly and without error.

[0082] The housing 3 is connected to the connection terminal group 12 to form a grounding effect. For example, the connection terminal group 12 also includes a grounding pin 123. One end of the grounding pin 123 is plugged into 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 housing 3 to the outside of the connector, so that the grounding pin 123 can act as a bridge between the connector and the external grounding system.

[0083] Circuit board 14 serves as the internal circuit carrier of the connector, and its design must meet the requirements of electrical connection and signal transmission. Circuit board 14 is grounded to housing 3 via grounding pin 123. 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, grounding pin 123 can effectively conduct static electricity and interference current inside the connector into the external grounding system, thereby protecting the normal operation of the circuit system.

[0084] The middle section 312 of the housing 3 is provided with a grounding hole 3121 so that the grounding pin 123 can pass through normally and be connected to the grounding system of the electronic equipment, thereby improving the grounding effect and electrical safety of the entire device.

[0085] This disclosure also provides an electronic device, including a device body and a connector as described in any of the above embodiments. The device body carries various functions and components of the electronic device. The connector is connected to the device body. The connector not only has high reliability and durability, but also excellent electrical performance and mechanical strength.

[0086] The connector can accommodate multiple positioning protrusions via positioning groove 221. By setting multiple snap-fit ​​structures within a single hole, simultaneous positioning of multiple components is achieved. This approach not only simplifies the mold structure and reduces the complexity of mold design but also significantly improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, this method eliminates the need to design snap-fits and corresponding holes for each component individually; instead, multiple snap-fit ​​structures can be integrated within a single hole, thereby reducing the number and complexity of molds.

[0087] Simplified mold design reduces production costs and improves production efficiency. Facilitated assembly reduces manual labor, lowers assembly difficulty, and reduces error rates. This design approach also enhances the overall stability and reliability of the connector, ensuring stable operation of electronic products in complex environments.

[0088] Furthermore, the enclosure 31 of the shell 3 is a semi-enclosed upright structure formed by a continuous bending process, which not only simplifies the structure of the shell 3 but also significantly improves the efficiency of mold development and production assembly. By designing the continuous bending structure of the enclosure 31, the entire shell 3 can be manufactured with just one mold. This not only reduces the number of molds and lowers the cost of mold development and maintenance but also makes the assembly process simpler, requiring only one worker, thereby effectively reducing labor costs.
