Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signal transmission system technology, and in particular to a signal connection device. Background Technology
[0002] It is now common for electronic devices to have signal ports that allow external signal cables to be plugged in, thus fulfilling the signal transmission needs of electronic devices. Currently available mini DisplayPort, HDMI, USB, and other ports mostly use signal connectors on signal cables to connect directly to the electronic device's signal port. The connectors are typically designed to fit snugly into the port's interface. When fully inserted, the connector securely holds the connector in place. However, if subjected to external force such as pulling, the connector can easily detach, leading to transmission failure, causing inconvenience and user frustration. This warrants further research and improvement by industry professionals. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a signal connection device with excellent practicality.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A signal connection device includes: a connection line unit, including a connector module and a latch module disposed on the connector module; and a signal connection frame for the connection line unit to connect to, including a frame body, a signal connection port disposed on the frame body and corresponding to the connector module of the connection line unit, and a fixing frame module disposed on the frame body and corresponding to the latch module of the connection line unit. When the connector module of the connection line unit is moved toward the signal connection port and inserted into the signal connection port of the signal connection frame, and the latch module of the connection line unit is simultaneously locked into the fixing frame module of the signal connection frame, the connector module of the connection line unit will not detach from the signal connection port.
[0006] Preferably, the connector module of the connecting line unit has a connecting body, two extension plates extending from two opposite sides of the connecting body away from the connecting body, and a connector disposed on the connecting body and extending from the connecting body towards the signal connection port of the signal connection frame. The connector is detachably inserted to connect to the signal connection port. The connecting body and the extension plates cooperate to define an installation space for the locking module of the connecting line unit to be engaged.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing frame module of the signal connection frame has a fixing frame disposed on the frame and extending from the frame towards the latch module of the connection line unit, and a latching part disposed on the fixing frame. The latching module of the connection line unit is disposed on the extension plate of the connector module and located within the installation space, and has an elastic arm pivotally disposed on the extension plate, and a latching part extending from the elastic arm towards the fixing frame module of the signal connection frame. When the connector of the connection line unit is inserted into the signal connection port of the signal connection frame and the latching part of the latching module is simultaneously engaged with the latching part of the fixing frame module of the signal connection frame, the latching module is secured to the fixing frame of the fixing frame module, so that the connector of the connection line unit will not detach from the signal connection port.
[0008] Preferably, the latch module of the connecting line unit further has a pressing part extending from the elastic arm in a direction away from the signal connection frame. The pressing part of the latch module and the latching part are located at opposite ends of the elastic arm. When the latching part of the latch module of the connecting line unit latches the blocking part of the fixing frame module of the signal connection frame and the latch module is fixed on the fixing frame of the fixing frame module, the pressing part of the latch module is pressed and drives the elastic arm to pivot, thereby causing the latching part to move away from the installation space and disengage from the blocking part of the fixing frame module, so that the latch module is not fixed on the fixing frame of the fixing frame module. At this time, the connector of the connecting line unit can be detached from the signal connection port.
[0009] Preferably, the signal port is a miniature version of the signal port.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By utilizing the design of the locking module of the connecting line unit to be fixed to the fixing frame module of the signal connecting frame, and in conjunction with the insertion of the connector module of the connecting line unit into the signal connecting port of the signal connecting frame, the locking module is simultaneously fixed to the fixing frame module of the signal connecting frame. As long as the connector module is moved towards the signal connecting port and inserted into the signal connecting port of the signal connecting frame, the locking module of the connecting line unit will be simultaneously fixed to the fixing frame module of the signal connecting frame. At this time, the connector module of the connecting line unit cannot automatically detach from the signal connecting port, effectively avoiding the problem that the connector module is easily affected by external forces and will automatically detach from the signal connecting port. Furthermore, the connector module of the connecting line unit is firmly connected to the signal connecting port, thus ensuring the stability of signal transmission. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Before this invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar elements are represented by the same reference numerals in the following description.
[0017] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present novel signal connection device includes a connection line unit 1 and a signal connection frame 2 that can be connected to the connection line unit 1.
[0018] The connecting wire unit 1 includes a connector module 11 and a latch module 12 disposed on the connector module 11.
[0019] The signal connection frame 2 includes a frame 21, a signal connection port 22 formed on the frame 21 and corresponding to the connector module 11 of the connection line unit 1, and a fixing frame module 23 formed on the frame 21 and corresponding to the latch module 12 of the connection line unit 1. When the connector module 11 of the connection line unit 1 is moved toward the signal connection port 22 and inserted into the signal connection port 22 of the signal connection frame 2, and the latch module 12 of the connection line unit 1 is simultaneously locked into the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2, the connector module 11 of the connection line unit 1 will not detach from the signal connection port 22.
[0020] To further explain, in this embodiment, the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 has a connecting body 111, two extension plates 112 extending from two opposite sides of the connecting body 111 away from the connecting body 111, and a connector 113 disposed on the connecting body 111 and extending from the connecting body 111 toward the signal connection port 22 of the signal connection frame 2, and detachably inserted to connect to the signal connection port 22. The connecting body 111 and the extension plates 112 cooperate to define an installation space 114 for mounting the latch module 12 of the connecting line unit 1. Simply put, the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 4 The design shown can be used to install the latch module 12 in the installation space 114 defined by the connecting body 111 and the extension plate 112, but is not limited thereto.
[0021] During assembly, first move the connector module 11 toward the signal connection port 22 and as follows: Figure 1 As shown, after the connector module 11 is inserted into the signal connection port 22 of the signal connection frame 2, the latch module 12 of the connector unit 1 will be simultaneously locked into the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2. At this time, the connector module 11 of the connector unit 1 will not detach from the signal connection port 22, thus completing the connection operation of the connector module 11 of the connector unit 1 to the signal connection port 22 and forming an electrical connection between the connector unit 1 and the signal connection port 22. Furthermore, by locking the latch module 12 of the connector unit 1 into the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2, it is ensured that the connector module 11 of the connector unit 1 will not automatically detach from the signal connection port 22, and the connector module 11 of the connector unit 1 is firmly connected to the signal connection port 22 to ensure the stability of signal transmission. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the signal connection port 22 is a miniature version of the signal connection port 22 (Mini DisplayPort), but it is not limited thereto. Simply put, since the miniature signal connection port 22 can only be tightly inserted into the connector module 11 of the connection line unit 1, the connector module 11 may be easily affected by external forces and automatically fall off the signal connection port 22. Therefore, a structure is further designed in which the connector module 11 of the connection line unit 1 is fixed to the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2 through the locking module 12 of the connection line unit 1 to ensure that the connector module 11 of the connection line unit 1 will not automatically fall off the signal connection port 22, but it is not limited thereto.
[0022] By utilizing the design of the locking module 12 of the connecting line unit 1, which can be locked onto the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connecting frame 2, and in conjunction with the insertion of the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 into the signal connecting port 22 of the signal connecting frame 2, the locking module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 is simultaneously locked onto the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connecting frame 2. As long as the connector module 11 is moved toward the signal connecting port 22 and inserted into the signal connecting port 22 of the signal connecting frame 2, the locking module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 will be locked onto the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connecting frame 2. At this time, the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 will not detach from the signal connecting port 22, effectively avoiding the problem that the connector module 11 is easily affected by external forces and will automatically detach from the signal connecting port 22, and achieving a stable connection between the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 and the signal connecting port 22, thus ensuring the stability of signal transmission.
[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2 has a fixing frame 231 disposed on the frame 21 and extending from the frame 21 toward the latch module 12 of the connecting line unit 1, and a latching part 232 disposed on the fixing frame 231. The latch module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 is disposed on the extension plate 112 of the connector module 11 and located within the installation space 114, and has an elastic arm 121 pivotally disposed on the extension plate 112, and a latching part 122 extending from the elastic arm 121 toward the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2. When the connector 113 of the connecting wire unit 1 is inserted into the signal connection port 22 of the signal connection frame 2, and simultaneously the latching part 122 of the latching module 12 engages with the locking part 232 of the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2, the latching module 12 is secured to the fixing frame 231 of the fixing frame module 23, preventing the connector 113 of the connecting wire unit 1 from detaching from the signal connection port 22. Specifically, during assembly, the connector 113 of the connector module 11 is first moved towards the signal connection port 22, and the connector 113 of the connector module 11 is initially inserted into the signal connection port 22. Simultaneously, the latching part 122 of the latching module 12 engages with the locking part 232 of the fixing frame module 23. Figure 5 The portion of the mounting bracket 231 of the mounting bracket module 23 shown is pushed away from the installation space 114. Next, the connector 113 is fully inserted into the signal connection port 22, and simultaneously the latching portion 122 of the latch module 12 passes over the portion of the mounting bracket 231 and engages with the locking portion 232 of the mounting bracket module 23. At this time, the latching portion 122 engages with the locking portion 232, thereby securing the latch module 12 to the mounting bracket 231 of the mounting bracket module 23, and preventing the connector 113 of the connecting line unit 1 from automatically disengaging from the signal connection port 22.
[0024] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the latch module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 also has a pressing portion 123 extending from the elastic arm 121 in a direction away from the signal connection frame 2. The pressing portion 123 and the latching portion 122 of the latch module 12 are located at opposite ends of the elastic arm 121. When the latching portion 122 of the latch module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 latches the blocking portion 232 of the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2 and the latch module 12 is secured to the fixing frame 231, the pressing portion 123 of the latch module 12 is pressed and drives the elastic arm 121 to pivot, thereby causing the latching portion 122 to move away from the installation space 114 and disengage from the blocking portion 232 of the fixing frame module 23. That is, the latch module 12 is not secured to the fixing frame 231 of the fixing frame module 23. At this time, the connector 113 of the connecting line unit 1 can be detached from the signal connection port 22. In other words, the pressing part 123 and the latching part 122 of the latch module 12 are used as follows: Figure 1 The design shown is located at the two opposite ends of the elastic arm 121, and the pressing part 123 drives the elastic arm 121 to pivot, thereby actuating the latching part 122 as shown. Figure 5 The device moves away from the installation space 114 (tilts up) as shown, and the latch 122 disengages from the latch 232 of the mounting module 23, that is, the latch module 12 does not lock the mounting frame 231 of the mounting module 23. At this time, the connector 113 of the connecting line unit 1 can be disconnected from the signal connection port 22, but this is not the only limitation.
[0025] In summary, this novel signal connection device, through the design of the locking module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 being able to be locked onto the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2, and in conjunction with the insertion of the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 into the signal connection port 22 of the signal connection frame 2, simultaneously locks the locking module 12 into the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2. Simply moving the connector module 11 towards the signal connection port 22 and inserting it into the signal connection port 22 of the signal connection frame 2 will simultaneously lock the locking module 12 of the connecting line unit 1 into the fixing frame module 23 of the signal connection frame 2. At this time, the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 will not detach from the signal connection port 22, effectively avoiding the problem of the connector module 11 being easily affected by external forces and automatically detaching from the signal connection port 22, and achieving a stable connection between the connector module 11 of the connecting line unit 1 and the signal connection port 22, thus ensuring the stability of signal transmission.
