Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of card seat, especially to a spliced card seat. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a commonly used audio connection interface component, the card seat is widely used in the assembly of circuit boards in various fields such as audio equipment, communication equipment, industrial control equipment, etc., to realize stable transmission of signals, with the advantages of stable connection and reliable contact. With the rapid development of electronic devices towards miniaturization and integration, the integration of circuit boards is continuously improved, and in many application scenarios, the host factory needs to densely arrange multiple card seats on a circuit board to meet the use demand of multi-channel signal transmission.

[0003] However, the existing card seat products on the market are mostly designed independently, and no special splicing and positioning structure is provided between the bases. When densely arranging and assembling, the operator needs to position and fix each card seat one by one, which not only increases the complexity of the assembly process and reduces the assembly efficiency, but more importantly, due to the lack of effective splicing and limiting, the positions of multiple card seats are prone to shift during assembly, resulting in uneven spacing between adjacent card seats. This positional deviation may on the one hand cause poor alignment with the card seat plug, affecting the stability of signal transmission, and on the other hand, if the assembly layout on the circuit board is adjusted to compensate for the positional deviation, it will disrupt the pre-designed circuit board layout scheme of the host factory, increasing the cost and cycle of design changes.

[0004] In addition, the existing card seat generally only has basic signal transmission function and does not integrate plug insertion state detection mechanism. In actual application, the system often cannot judge whether the card seat plug has been correctly inserted in real time, resulting in problems such as false start of the device in the disconnected state, abnormal audio channel or logical error of the control system.

[0005] In view of the above assembly pain points in the densely arranged scenario, the industry urgently needs a technical solution that can realize stable splicing between multiple card seats, has built-in plug detection capability, and does not change the original base shape of the card seat and affect the pre-set layout of the circuit board.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this modular XLR connector includes a base 1 and terminal assemblies mounted on the base 1. The base 1 has a left mounting step 2 and a right mounting step 3 protruding from its left and right sides, arranged diagonally. A groove 4, which engages with the left mounting step, is provided on the right side wall of the base opposite to the left mounting step. At least two raised steps 5 are spaced apart on both the left and right outer walls of the base, and these steps can engage with each other. Mounting holes 6 are provided on the left and right mounting steps, which are diagonally distributed, allowing adjacent bases to be positioned by the left mounting step of one base engaging with the corresponding groove of another. The at least two raised steps on the left and right outer walls of the base adapt and engage with each other, achieving multiple positioning. The mounting holes on the left and right mounting steps are used to fix the connector to the circuit board after assembly, and all assembly structures are integrated into the side walls of the base, without altering the overall shape of the base. The double-interlocking structure forms a three-dimensional limit, avoiding horizontal / vertical offset during assembly and ensuring uniform spacing between adjacent XLR connectors when densely arranged.

[0039] Specifically, a force-enhancing groove 7 is provided on the upper side of the base, and a "T"-shaped slot 8 is provided on the side wall of the force-enhancing groove 7. A "U"-shaped force-enhancing spring 9 is connected to the "T"-shaped slot.

[0040] In this embodiment, a force-enhancing groove is provided on the upper side of the base, and the shape constraint of the "T"-shaped slot in the groove wall is used to achieve the stable assembly of the "U"-shaped force-enhancing spring. The elastic deformation characteristics of the "U"-shaped spring generate continuous pressure when the XLR plug is inserted or removed, thereby enhancing the insertion and removal pressure between the plug and the terminal.

[0041] Specifically, the terminal assembly includes a grounding terminal 10, a first signal terminal 11, and a second signal terminal 12. The grounding terminal includes a grounding plug 21 and a grounding pin 13. The grounding plug, the first signal terminal, and the second signal terminal are spaced apart in slots on the base. One end of the grounding plug is provided with a "V"-shaped connecting groove 14, and one end of the grounding pin is provided with a "T"-shaped connector 15 that connects to the "V"-shaped connecting groove 14. The other end connects to the lead-out groove 16 on the side wall of the mounting hole of the left mounting step. The grounding terminal, the first signal terminal, and the second signal terminal are spaced apart through the base slots to achieve signal isolation. The grounding terminal is divided into a grounding plug and a grounding pin, which are adapted to be connected through the "V"-shaped connecting groove and the "T"-shaped connector. The other end of the grounding pin is connected to the lead-out groove on the side wall of the mounting hole of the left mounting step to facilitate the grounding path lead-out connection.

[0042] Specifically, the terminal assembly also includes a spring 17 and a stationary piece 18 disposed at the corner. The inserts on both sides of the spring and the stationary piece are connected to the "I"-shaped slot 19 on the base. The bottom of the stationary piece has a "U"-shaped connecting part 20 that abuts against the spring.

[0043] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0044] Precise positioning and installation of the two components are achieved through a "I"-shaped slot on the base; the "U"-shaped connection at the bottom of the stationary plate utilizes elastic deformation to maintain constant force contact with the spring plate, forming an elastic conductive pair, while the "I"-shaped slot restricts the relative displacement of the two components. The elastic contact of the "U"-shaped structure ensures reliable contact even under vibration, preventing circuit failure.

[0045] When the plug is not inserted, the spring 17 and the stationary plate 18 form a stable electrical connection through the "U"-shaped connector 20, constituting a normally closed detection switch that can be connected to the detection circuit of the control system and output a "not inserted" signal. When the XLR plug is inserted into the base, the plug shell or internal structure will push the spring 17, causing it to deflect away from the stationary plate, resulting in the spring 17 separating from the "U"-shaped connector 20, the detection circuit is broken, and the system recognizes it as "inserted".

[0046] The detection structure is fully integrated inside the base (e.g. Figure 1 Located in the lower right corner, it does not affect the overall shape of the XLR connector or the arrangement of other internal terminals. It eliminates the need for additional microswitches or photoelectric sensors, simplifying the overall structure and avoiding the reliability degradation and assembly complexity caused by external detection components.

[0047] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
