[0029] This utility model proposes a novel connector.

[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the novel connector comprises a shell 10, a base 20 and a metal shell 30, the shell 10 is a metal piece and has a plurality of insertion holes 121 and insertion pins 111; the base 20 is an insulating structure and has a plurality of insertion slots 21, each insertion slot 21 is provided corresponding to one insertion hole 121, and a plurality of terminals are arranged in each insertion slot 21; the metal shell 30 is provided in an open-ended manner and is inserted into the insertion hole 121 and the insertion slot 21, and the plurality of terminals in the insertion slot 21 are located in the metal shell 30, and the metal shell 30 abuts against the shell 10.

[0031] Specifically, the insertion pin 111 is used to be fixedly installed on the circuit board or other fixing structure of the electronic equipment. The metal shell 30 is substantially cylindrical, the insertion slot 21 is provided with a tongue plate 22, and the plurality of terminals are located on the tongue plate 22. The tongue plate 22 in the insertion slot 21 is located in the metal shell 30 and is spaced from the inner wall of the metal shell 30, that is, the metal shell 30 is used as the shell 10 of the interface female seat, and in use, the USB male head is inserted into the metal shell 30.

[0032] Among them, the structure of the insertion slot 21 can be various, for example, the insertion slot 21 is a rectangular slot, which is used as a USB Type-A interface and cooperates with a USB Type-A male head; or the insertion slot 21 is a racetrack-shaped slot, which is used as a USB Type-C interface and cooperates with a USB Type-C male head. Of course, the insertion slot 21 can also be in other conventional interface forms, and the utility model does not limit this.

[0033] The utility model technical scheme sets the insulating base 20 in the metal shell 10, sets a plurality of insertion slots 21 on the base 20, sets one insertion hole 121 on the metal shell 10 corresponding to each insertion slot 21, inserts the metal shell 30 into the insertion hole 121 and the insertion slot 21 to be used as a grounding and shielding shell, and abuts against the shell 10. In this way, the grounding function can be realized through the contact of the metal shell 30 and the shell 10, the welding process can be reduced, the grounding assembly is facilitated, the problems such as welding defects not easy to find can be avoided, the yield can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.

[0034] In some embodiments, a conductive spring 122 is arranged at the insertion hole 121, and the conductive spring 122 abuts against the outer surface of the metal shell 30, so that the conductive spring 122 can be tightly abutted on the outer surface of the metal shell 30, the contact reliability is ensured, and the resistance when the metal shell 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 121 and the insertion slot 21 is reduced, facilitating assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the metal shell 30 can be in interference fit with the insertion hole 121.

[0035] In some embodiments, one end of the conductive spring 122 is connected to the inner wall of the socket 121, and the other end extends into the slot 21. The socket 121 and the conductive spring 122 can be formed by stamping sheet metal, which can ensure the reliability of the conductive spring 122, reduce the number of assembly parts, and facilitate assembly.

[0036] In some embodiments, conductive springs 122 are provided on both sides of the socket 121. This not only increases the contact area and improves the grounding reliability, but also makes the forces on both sides of the metal shell 30 uniform, thereby improving the installation stability of the metal shell 30.

[0037] In some embodiments, the metal casing 30 includes a plug-in portion 31 and a limiting portion 32 located at one end of the plug-in portion 31. The plug-in portion 31 is inserted into the slot 21, and the limiting portion 32 is located on the side of the socket 121 away from the slot 21 and abuts against the edge of the socket 121. That is, the width of the limiting portion 32 is greater than the width of the socket 121, which can limit the metal casing 30 and also increase the contact area between the metal casing 30 and the outer casing 10, thereby improving grounding reliability.

[0038] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a housing 11 and a cover plate 12. The housing 11 has a mounting cavity and a mounting opening 112. The base 20 is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the slot 21 is disposed corresponding to the mounting opening 112. The cover plate 12 is detachably fitted onto the mounting opening 112 and is provided with an insertion hole 121. That is, during assembly, the base 20 can be installed in the housing 11 first, then the cover plate 12 can be closed to the mounting opening 112, and finally the metal shell 30 can be inserted into the insertion hole 121 and the slot 21 (or the metal card can be inserted into the insertion hole 121 first, and then the cover plate 12 can be closed to the mounting opening 112). In this way, pre-assembly can be achieved, making assembly and disassembly more convenient, simplifying the assembly process, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing production costs. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover plate 12 can also be welded to the mounting opening 112, or the cover plate 12 can be integrally formed with the housing 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cover plate 12 is snapped onto the housing 10, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the cover plate 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover plate 12 can also be locked to the housing 10 with screws.

[0040] In some embodiments, the side of the housing 11 adjacent to the mounting opening 112 is open, and multiple pins 111 are provided on both sides of the opening. That is, during assembly, the base 20 can be inserted into the housing 11 through the opening. When the new connector is used in electronic devices, the opening can correspond to the circuit board of the electronic device, and the opening can also be sealed. This simplifies the structure of the housing 11 and facilitates the assembly of the base 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, the slot 21 is provided with a tongue plate 22, and the plurality of terminals are arranged on the tongue plate 22, the slot 21 and the tongue plate 22 are used for plugging with the Type-C male head, that is, each slot 21 and the terminals and the metal shell 30 in the slot 21 form a Type-C female seat.

[0042] The utility model discloses still a kind of electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment includes equipment main body and novel connector, and the specific structure of the novel connector refers to above-mentioned embodiment, since the present electronic equipment has adopted all technical solutions of above-mentioned embodiment, therefore at least have all beneficial effects brought by the technical scheme of above-mentioned embodiment, here no longer one by one elaboration.Wherein, novel connector is arranged in equipment main body.
