Connector assembly and main end connector thereof

Abstract

The utility model provides a connector assembly and a master end connector thereof, the connector assembly further comprises a slave end connector which can be in butt joint with the master end connector, and the connector assembly is provided with a butt joint guide structure. The butt joint guiding structure can guide the slave end connector to be in butt joint with the master end connector on the two sides of the connector assembly, so that the situation that butt joint is not in place due to the fact that the slave end connector inclines and deviates to one side in the butt joint process of the master end connector is avoided. Therefore, the connector assembly can transmit electric energy or signals only when the slave end connector and the master end connector are in butt joint in place, and the technical problem that the electric energy or signals cannot be effectively transmitted due to the fact that a plurality of connectors of an existing connector assembly are prone to being in butt joint in place due to inclination can be solved. Therefore, the connector assembly can transmit electric energy or signals in time, and the effect on the electronic equipment meets the expectation.

This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. In particular, the proportional relationships and relative positions of the various elements in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual implementation of this application.

[0072] In addition, it should be noted that, in order to make the disclosure more concise and easier to understand, elements with the same or similar functions in the following embodiments will be described using the same symbols, and descriptions of the same or equivalent features will be omitted.

[0073] This application provides a connector assembly including a mating master connector and a mating slave connector, and the connector assembly has a mating guide structure to provide guidance on both sides of the connector assembly, so as to prevent the slave connector from tilting to one side and failing to mate properly during the mating process with the master connector, so that the connector assembly transmits electrical energy or signals only when the master connector and the slave connector are properly mated.

[0074] For the technical concept of the connector assembly and its main connector in this application, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 13 The following is an example description.

[0075] At Figures 1 to 13 In the illustrated embodiment, a connector assembly 1 is provided, which can be coupled with a power supply module 2 and a signal supply module 3. The power supply module 2 can provide power to a first-side terminal and power to a second-side terminal, and transmit them via the connector assembly 1. The signal supply module 3 can provide a signal to a first-side terminal and a signal to a second-side terminal, and transmit them via the connector assembly 1.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the connector assembly 1 includes a master connector 11 and a slave connector 12. The slave connector 12 can be mated with the master connector 11. Optionally, the power supply module 2 and the signal supply module 3 are disposed on a circuit board, and the master connector 11 is a board-side connector disposed on the circuit board, and correspondingly, the slave connector 12 is a wire-side connector that can be mated with the master connector 11.

[0077] For the main connector 11, as follows Figure 12As shown, the main connector 11 includes: a main power terminal group 111, a main signal terminal group 113 and a main connector body 110.

[0078] Regarding the main power terminal group 111, as follows: Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 and Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the main power terminal group 111 has a first-side main power terminal 1111 and a second-side main power terminal 1112. The first-side main power terminal 1111 and the second-side main power terminal 1112 each have a first-side main power terminal docking structure 11111 and a second-side main power terminal docking structure 11121, respectively. The main power terminal group 111 (including the first-side main power terminal 1111 and the second-side main power terminal 1112) is electrically connected to the power supply module 2, so that the power supply module 2 can transmit first-side terminal power via the first-side main power terminal 1111 (i.e., the main power terminal group 111), and can transmit second-side terminal power via the second-side main power terminal 1112 (i.e., the main power terminal group 111).

[0079] Regarding the main signal terminal group 113, as follows: Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 and Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the main signal terminal group 113 has a first-side main signal terminal 1131 and a second-side main signal terminal 1132. The first-side main signal terminal 1131 and the second-side main signal terminal 1132 each have a first-side main signal terminal docking structure 11311 and a second-side main signal terminal docking structure 11321, respectively. The main signal terminal group 113 (including the first-side main signal terminal 1131 and the second-side main signal terminal 1132) is electrically connected to the signal providing module 3, so that the signal providing module 3 can transmit the first-side terminal signal via the first-side main signal terminal 1131 (i.e., the main signal terminal group 113), and can transmit the second-side terminal signal via the second-side main signal terminal 1132 (i.e., the main signal terminal group 113).

[0080] Regarding the main connector body 110, as follows: Figures 2 to 12As shown, the main connector body 110 has a first main connector body side S1 and a second main connector body side S2 on its two sides. The main connector body 110 has a first-side main connector body docking guide structure 1101 and a second-side main connector body docking guide structure 1102, which can be optionally both guide rail structures. The first-side main connector body docking guide structure 1101 and the second-side main connector body docking guide structure 1102 are located on the first main connector body side S1 and the second main connector body side S2, respectively, and can guide the slave connector 12 to dock with the main connector 11 from the first main connector body side S1 and the second main connector body side S2, thus preventing the slave connector 12 from tilting towards one side of the first main connector body side S1 or the second main connector body side S2 during docking with the main connector 11.

[0081] The main connector body 110 respectively engages the main power terminal group 111 and the main signal terminal group 113 to respectively position the first-side main power terminal 1111, the second-side main power terminal 1112, the first-side main signal terminal 1131 and the second-side main signal terminal 1132, so that the first-side main power terminal docking structure 11111 and the first-side main signal terminal docking structure 11311 are respectively located on the first main connector body side S1, and the second-side main power terminal docking structure 11121 and the second-side main signal terminal docking structure 11321 are respectively located on the second main connector body side S2.

[0082] For the slave connector 12, as Figure 13 As shown, the slave connector 12 includes: a slave power terminal group 121, a slave signal terminal group 123 and a slave connector body 120.

[0083] Regarding the aforementioned slave-end power terminal group 121, as follows Figures 5 to 6 , Figures 9 to 11 and Figure 13As shown, the slave power terminal group 121 has a first-side slave power terminal 1211 and a second-side slave power terminal 1212. The first-side slave power terminal 1211 and the second-side slave power terminal 1212 each have a first-side slave power terminal docking structure 12111 and a second-side slave power terminal docking structure 12121. The first-side slave power terminal docking structure 12111 and the second-side slave power terminal docking structure 12121 respectively provide docking for the first-side master power terminal docking structure 11111 and the second-side master power terminal docking structure 11121; that is, the first-side master power terminal docking structure 11111 and the second-side master power terminal docking structure 11121 respectively provide docking for the first-side slave power terminal 1211 and the second-side slave power terminal 1212.

[0084] Regarding the slave signal terminal group 123, as follows Figures 5 to 6 , Figures 9 to 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the slave signal terminal group 123 has a first-side slave signal terminal 1231 and a second-side slave signal terminal 1232. The first-side slave signal terminal 1231 and the second-side slave signal terminal 1232 each have a first-side slave signal terminal docking structure 12311 and a second-side slave signal terminal docking structure 12321. The first-side slave signal terminal docking structure 12311 and the second-side slave signal terminal docking structure 12321 are respectively provided for docking with the first-side master signal terminal docking structure 11311 and the second-side master signal terminal docking structure 11321. That is, the first-side master signal terminal docking structure 11311 and the second-side master signal terminal docking structure 11321 are respectively provided for docking with the first-side slave signal terminal 1231 and the second-side slave signal terminal 1232.

[0085] Regarding the slave connector body 120, as Figures 2 to 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the slave connector body 120 has a first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201 and a second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202. The first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201 and the second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202 can be selected as guide groove structures. The slave connector body 120 respectively engages with the slave power terminal group 121 and the slave signal terminal group 123 to respectively position the first-side slave power terminal 1211, the second-side slave power terminal 1212, the first-side slave signal terminal 1231, and the second-side slave signal terminal 1232.

[0086] It should be noted that the first-side main connector body docking guide structure 1101, the second-side main connector body docking guide structure 1102, the first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201, and the second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202 can be matched to guide the slave power terminal group 121 to dock with the main power terminal group 111, so that the first-side slave power terminal docking structure 12111 (i.e., the first-side slave power terminal 1211) docks with the second-side slave power terminal. Structure 12121 (i.e., the second-side slave power terminal 1212) can be connected to the first-side master power terminal connection structure 11111 and the second-side master power terminal connection structure 11121 respectively, so that the power supply module 2 transmits the first-side terminal power to the first-side slave power terminal 1211 via the first-side master power terminal 1111, and transmits the second-side terminal power to the second-side slave power terminal 1212 via the second-side master power terminal 1112.

[0087] It should be noted that the first-side main connector body docking guide structure 1101, the second-side main connector body docking guide structure 1102, the first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201, and the second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202 can be matched to guide the slave power terminal group 121 to dock with the main power terminal group 111, so as to prevent the slave power terminal group 121 from tilting and leaning towards one side of the first main connector body side S1 and the second main connector body side S2 during the docking process with the main power terminal group 111, so that the first-side slave power terminal group 121... The timing of the sub-connection structure 12111 and the second-side slave power terminal connection structure 12121 connecting with the first-side master power terminal connection structure 11111 and the second-side master power terminal connection structure 11121 respectively is substantially the same. This means that the power supply module 2 only provides power to the first-side terminals and the second-side terminals after the master power terminal group 111 and the slave power terminal group 121 are properly connected. This ensures that the connector assembly 1 stably transmits power to the first-side terminals and the second-side terminals, allowing the power transmission of the connector assembly 1 in various electronic devices to meet expectations. This solves the technical problem of existing connector assemblies where multiple connectors are easily tilted, leading to incomplete connection and ineffective power transmission.

[0088] Additionally, the first-side master connector body docking guide structure 1101, the second-side master connector body docking guide structure 1102, the first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201, and the second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202 can be matched to guide the slave signal terminal group 123 to dock with the master signal terminal group 113, so that the first-side slave signal terminal docking structure 12311 (i.e., the first-side slave signal terminal 1231) and the second-side slave signal terminal docking structure 12321 (i.e., the second-side slave signal terminal 1232) can respectively dock with the first-side master signal terminal docking structure 11311 and the second-side master signal terminal docking structure 11321, so that the signal providing module 3 provides the first-side terminal signal to the first-side slave signal terminal 1231 via the first-side master signal terminal 1131, and provides the second-side terminal signal to the second-side slave signal terminal 1232 via the second-side master signal terminal 1132.

[0089] It should be noted that the first-side master connector body docking guide structure 1101, the second-side master connector body docking guide structure 1102, the first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201, and the second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202 can be matched to guide the slave signal terminal group 123 to dock with the master signal terminal group 113, so as to prevent the slave signal terminal group 123 from tilting and leaning towards one side of the first master connector body side S1 and the second master connector body side S2 during the docking process with the master signal terminal group 113, so that the first-side slave signal terminal... The timing of the sub-connection structure 12311 and the second-side slave signal terminal connection structure 12321 connecting to the first-side master signal terminal connection structure 11311 and the second-side master signal terminal connection structure 11321 is substantially the same. This means that the signal providing module 3 provides the first-side terminal signal and the second-side terminal signal only after the slave signal terminal group 123 and the master signal terminal group 113 are properly connected. This ensures that the connector assembly 1 stably transmits the first-side terminal signal and the second-side terminal signal, allowing the signal transmission of the connector assembly 1 on various electronic devices to meet expectations. This solves the technical problem of existing connector assemblies where multiple connectors are easily tilted, leading to incomplete connection and ineffective signal transmission.

[0090] Furthermore, it should be noted that the slave power terminal group 121 connects to the master power terminal group 111 earlier than the slave signal terminal group 123 connects to the master signal terminal group 113. This means that the slave signal terminal group 123 connects to the master signal terminal group 113 only after the slave power terminal group 121 and the master power terminal group 111 have been properly connected. This avoids the technical problem of the slave signal terminal group 123 connecting to the master signal terminal group 113 before the slave power terminal group 121 and the master power terminal group 111 have been properly connected.

[0091] At Figures 5 to 6 , Figures 9 to 11 and Figure 13 In the illustrated embodiment, to maintain the docking state between the master power terminal group 111 and the slave power terminal group 121, the first slave power terminal 1211 and the second slave power terminal 1212 are both guillotine-type conductive terminals, and correspondingly, the first master power terminal 1111 and the second master power terminal 1112 are both clamp-type terminals.

Furthermore, the master power terminal group 111 is located between the first-side master connector body docking guide structure 1101 and the second-side master connector body docking guide structure 1102. Correspondingly, the slave power terminal group 121 is located between the first-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1201 and the second-side slave connector body docking guide structure 1202, so as to prevent the slave power terminal group 121 from tilting and leaning towards one side of the first master connector body side S1 and the second master connector body side S2 during the docking process with the master power terminal group 111.

[0093] At Figures 2 to 11 and Figure 13 In the illustrated embodiment, the slave connector body 120 further includes a slave connector insulating core 1200 made of insulating colloid, and the first-side slave connector body mating guide structure 1201 and the second-side slave connector body mating guide structure 1202 are respectively guide groove structures disposed on the slave connector insulating core 1200.

The slave connector can mate with the main connector. The slave connector includes a slave power terminal group and a slave connector body.

The connector assembly is provided with a mating guide structure, which can guide the slave connector to mate with the master connector from both sides of the connector assembly. This prevents the slave connector from tilting to one side and failing to mate properly during the mating process, allowing the connector assembly to transmit power or signals only when the slave connector and the master connector are properly mated. This solves the technical problem that existing connector assemblies often have multiple connectors that are tilted and fail to mate properly, thus preventing effective power or signal transmission. The connector assembly of this application can transmit power or signals in a timely manner, and its function in electronic devices meets expectations.
