Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of current transmission devices, specifically a high current transmission device for stacked PCBs. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing and application of electronic devices, traditional connection methods reveal a series of problems when large currents need to be transferred between two stacked PCBs. Traditional connection structures often have small contact areas, resulting in high contact resistance. This not only causes significant energy loss and excessive heat generation during current transmission, affecting the overall performance and stability of the electronic device, but may also shorten its lifespan. Furthermore, after repeated insertion and removal operations, traditional connections are prone to loosening and poor contact, leading to interruptions or instability in current transmission, failing to meet the growing demands for high performance and high reliability in electronic devices. Moreover, in some special applications with extremely high requirements for current transmission stability, such as automotive electronics and industrial control equipment, traditional connection methods are even more inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high-current transmission devices for stacked PCBs. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an embodiment of the high-current transmission device for stacked PCBs of this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 This paper provides a detailed introduction to high current transmission devices for stacked PCBs.
[0022] A high-current transmission device for stacked PCBs includes an upper guide pin 100, a lower guide sleeve 200, and a nut post 300 soldered onto the PCB. The upper guide pin 100 has a first external thread 101, which engages with the internal thread of the nut post 300 on the PCB. The lower guide sleeve 200 has a second external thread 201, which engages with the internal thread of the nut post 300 on another PCB. The front end of the upper guide pin 100 has a banana-head gold-plated drum spring 102. When the upper and lower PCBs are inserted together, the drum spring 102 of the upper guide pin 100 makes tight contact with the inner circumference of the lower guide sleeve 200. Through the cooperation of the upper guide pin 100, the lower guide sleeve 200, and the nut post 300, and by utilizing the banana-head gold-plated drum spring 102 at the front end of the upper guide pin 100 to make tight contact with the inner circumference of the lower guide sleeve 200, the effective contact area for current transmission is greatly increased. Compared to traditional connection methods, it significantly reduces contact impedance and improves the reliability of high-current interconnect transmission.
[0023] Furthermore, the first external thread 101 of the upper guide pin 100 is of M4 specification. The M4 specification of the first external thread 101 of the upper guide pin 100 can precisely match the M4 internal thread of the nut post 300, providing suitable tightening torque and connection strength. During long-term use of the equipment, even under the action of external forces such as vibration and impact, the upper guide pin 100 and the nut post 300 on the PCB are not prone to loosening, ensuring the stability of current transmission.
[0024] Furthermore, the second external thread 201 of the lower guide sleeve 200 is of M4 specification. The M4 specification second external thread 201 of the lower guide sleeve 200 tightly engages with the M4 internal thread of the nut post 300, ensuring the robust connection between the lower guide sleeve 200 and the PCB. In multiple insertion and removal tests, the connection between the lower guide sleeve 200 and the nut post 300 remained stable and reliable, providing a stable connection foundation for current transmission between the upper and lower guide pins 100 and the guide sleeve 200, avoiding poor contact problems caused by loose connections, and ensuring stable current transmission performance.
[0025] Furthermore, the internal thread of the nut post 300 is M4 specification. The uniform M4 specification internal thread of the nut post 300 ensures consistency and versatility in its mating with the external threads of the upper guide pin 100 and the lower guide sleeve 200. During production, this facilitates mass production and quality control; during equipment maintenance, it facilitates component replacement and repair, reducing production and maintenance costs.
[0026] Furthermore, the banana-shaped gold-plated drum spring 102 of the upper guide pin 100 is arranged around the outer periphery of the front plug portion of the upper guide pin 100. This surrounding structure design further increases the contact area and improves contact reliability. Moreover, it can adapt to minor positional deviations between the upper and lower PCBs to a certain extent, ensuring good contact under various conditions and guaranteeing the continuity of current transmission.
[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the lower guide sleeve 200 is a smooth cylindrical surface 202, which is adapted to the drum spring 102 of the upper guide needle 100. The smooth cylindrical surface 202 of the inner wall of the lower guide sleeve 200 is adapted to the drum spring 102 of the upper guide needle 100, which reduces the frictional resistance between the two, makes the contact tighter, and lowers the contact resistance.
[0028] Furthermore, the nut post 300 is vertically soldered onto the PCB surface, with the central axis of its threaded hole perpendicular to the PCB surface. This vertical soldering ensures the perpendicularity and concentricity of the upper guide pin 100 and the lower guide sleeve 200 after installation. This allows the drum spring 102 of the upper guide pin 100 to make uniform contact with the inner wall of the lower guide sleeve 200 during the mating of the upper and lower PCBs, avoiding poor local contact and ensuring that current flows evenly through the contact area, thus improving the reliability and stability of current transmission. In actual assembly, installing the nut post 300 according to this requirement can significantly improve assembly efficiency and product quality.
[0029] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
