[0002] The charging connector is used to establish an electrical connection between an external power source and the battery or circuit board inside an electronic device to enable the transfer of electrical energy. The charging connector receives DC power from an external charger and converts the DC power into a voltage suitable for the battery or the internal main circuit board for power supply.

[0003] Currently, conventional charging connectors are located on the main circuit board inside electronic devices. If the connection end of the charging connector is far from the main circuit board, most manufacturers choose to customize a larger main circuit board and solder the connection end of the charging connector onto the main circuit board, which increases production costs.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0039] In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0040] To address the technical problem in the prior art that requires a large main circuit board to be customized so that the connection end 122 of the charging connector 1 can be soldered onto the main circuit board, which increases production costs, this utility model provides a charging connector 1.

[0041] The following describes in detail the specific structure of a charging connector 1 provided by an embodiment of this utility model, according to the appendix. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the specific structure of the charging connector 1 includes a support base 11 and a connector assembly 12.

[0042] according to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support base 11 is used to be detachably assembled inside the electronic device 2. The support base 11 is used to support the entire connector assembly 12, ensuring that the connector assembly 12 can be accurately assembled in the specified position inside the electronic device 2, and maintaining the stable angle and position of the connector assembly 12. It can also optimize the utilization of the internal space of the electronic device 2 and reduce the complexity of the connector assembly 12 during assembly.

[0043] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connector assembly 12 includes a first circuit board 121, a connecting end 122, and a conductor 123. The first circuit board 121 is disposed on the support base 11, the conductor 123 is disposed on one end face of the first circuit board 121, and the connecting end 122 is disposed on the other end face of the first circuit board 121. The conductor 123 includes a base 1231 and a plurality of conductive posts 1232. The base 1231 has a plurality of assembly cavities, and each conductive post 1232 is disposed in each assembly cavity. The same end of each conductive post 1232 is connected to a metal through hole 1211 on the first circuit board 121.

[0044] Specifically, when the external charger transmits high-voltage direct current, this high-voltage direct current can be conducted to each metal through hole 1211 on the first circuit board 121 through the current distribution of the multiple conductive posts 1232 of the conductor 123. Since each conductive post 1232 and each metal through hole 1211 of the first circuit board 121 are in physical contact to achieve current conduction. Specifically, each conductive post 1232 is inserted into or soldered to the corresponding metal through-hole 1211 on the circuit board, so that the metal surfaces of the two are in close contact. When each conductive post 1232 contacts each metal through-hole 1211 of the first circuit board 121, the DC current is conducted through the contact point between the two. Since the connection end 122 is provided with multiple pins, one end of each pin is soldered to the connection point on the first circuit board 121 to form a circuit for conducting electricity, so that the current can be conducted to each pin of the connection end 122. The connector at one end of the conductive line is electrically connected to each pin of the connection end 122, and the connector at the other end of the conductive line is electrically connected to the main circuit board in the electronic device 2 to finally conduct the current to the main circuit board. With this setting, there is no need to specially customize a large circuit board, which can reduce the space occupied in the electronic device 2 and also reduce the production cost.

[0045] according to Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the support base 11 is recessed with a positioning groove 111, and the first circuit board 121 is disposed in the positioning groove 111, with the outer side of the first circuit board 121 abutting against the groove wall of the positioning groove 111.

[0046] Specifically, a positioning groove 111 is recessed in the support base 11 to provide a precise installation position for the first circuit board 121, ensuring that the first circuit board 121 can be accurately assembled in the designated position on the support base 11. During the production assembly process, the positioning groove 111 is used to position the installation of the first circuit board 121 so that production personnel can quickly and accurately install the first circuit board 121 onto the support base 11, thereby improving the assembly efficiency in the production process and reducing the assembly difficulty and error rate.

[0047] In the aforementioned embodiments, it should be understood that since the outer side of the first circuit board 121 abuts against the groove wall of the positioning groove 111, the first circuit board 121 can be prevented from shaking in various directions, including translation in the horizontal direction and shaking in the vertical direction. Thus, when subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, the first circuit board 121 can be prevented from shifting, avoiding problems such as short circuits and component damage caused by the displacement of the first circuit board 121.

[0048] according to Figure 2 As shown, in a further embodiment, the first circuit board 121 has a through positioning hole 1212, and the bottom surface of the positioning groove 111 is provided with a positioning post 112, which is inserted into the positioning hole 1212.

[0049] Specifically, when the positioning post 112 on the positioning groove 111 is inserted into the positioning hole 1212, the first circuit board 121 is accurately positioned on the support base 11, ensuring that the relative positions of each component, circuit and other parts on the circuit board are accurate and further improving the stability of the first circuit board 121. This setting also works in conjunction with the outer wall of the circuit board abutting against the groove wall of the positioning groove 111, thereby increasing the connection point and contact area between the first circuit board 121 and the support base 11, improving the fixing strength of the overall structure. Even when subjected to a large external force impact, this solution can evenly distribute the external force, preventing the circuit board from easily falling off the support base 11 or being damaged.

[0050] according to Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the support base 11 has a clearance opening 113 for avoiding the connection end 122.

[0051] Specifically, by using the clearance opening 113 of the support base 11 to avoid the connection end 122, the connection end 122 can be prevented from being blocked by the support base 11 and causing problems with the connection with other components. During the assembly process, it is easier for production personnel to pass the connection end 122 through the support base 11. That is, according to the position of the clearance opening 113, wiring and connection can be carried out quickly and accurately to complete the connection between various components, which can reduce the difficulty and complexity of the assembly process.

[0052] The following describes in detail the specific structure of an electronic device 2 provided by an embodiment of this utility model, according to the appendix. Figures 1-6 As shown, the specific structure of the electronic device 2 includes a housing 21 and a charging connector 1 in any of the above embodiments.

[0053] It is understood that the electronic device 2 in this embodiment of the present invention is a display.

[0054] according to Figures 4-6As shown, a receiving cavity 22 is formed inside the outer shell 21, and a mounting hole 222 is passed through the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22; a second circuit board is disposed inside the receiving cavity 22, the support seat 11 of the charging connector 1 is detachably disposed on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22, the seat body 1231 is disposed in the mounting hole 222, and the connection end 122 is electrically connected to the second circuit board through a conductive wire.

[0055] Specifically, during charging, after the direct current is initially processed by the first circuit board 121, the connection terminal 122 transmits the current to the second circuit board located within the accommodating cavity 22 via conductive wires. These conductive wires act as a conductive bridge connecting the first and second circuit boards, ensuring a stable current transfer from the first circuit board 121 to the second circuit board. Because the connection terminal 122 on the first circuit board 121 is electrically connected to the second circuit board via conductive wires, this design allows the first and second circuit boards to be placed in different installation positions. Based on the spatial shape of the accommodating cavity 22 and the layout of other components, suitable installation positions can be flexibly selected, allowing for a more rational distribution of components within the accommodating cavity 22 and avoiding the need for excessively concentrated layouts that would require more space within the cavity 22.

[0056] Furthermore, the support base 11 of the charging connector 1 is detachably mounted on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22, allowing the entire structure to be stably assembled within the outer casing 21 of the electronic device 2. This ensures that the support base 11 will not shake or shift during charging. Because the support base 11 is detachably mounted on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22, if one component of the charging connector 1 malfunctions or needs replacement, only the support base 11 needs to be removed from the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22 of the outer casing 21 to remove the entire charging connector 1. This eliminates the need for extensive disassembly of the entire electronic device 2, further improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance and reducing maintenance costs.

[0057] according to Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 22 has a through locking hole 221, and the support base 11 has a fixing hole 114; the electronic device 2 also includes a locking member 25, which passes through both the locking hole 221 and the fixing hole 114 to fix the support base 11.

[0058] Specifically, to improve the ease of assembly and disassembly of the support base 11, when assembling the support base 11, simply connect the fixing hole 114 on the support base 11 to the locking hole 221 on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22, and then insert the locking member 25 into both the locking hole 221 and the fixing hole 114 to fix the support base 11 to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22. This design improves the ease of assembly of the entire charging connector 1. Conversely, when disassembling the support base 11, simply remove the locking member 25 from the fixing hole 114 and the locking hole 221 to separate the support base 11 from the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22, at which point the entire charging connector 1 can be disassembled and removed.

[0059] It is understood that the locking hole 221 and the fixing hole 114 in this embodiment of the present invention are both threaded holes, and the locking member 25 is a bolt. The thread on the outside of the bolt engages with the thread on the side wall of each threaded hole. By connecting the thread of the bolt with the thread of each threaded hole, it is difficult for the bolt to loosen or fall off, so that the support seat 11 is fixedly installed on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 22, which can further improve the firmness of the support seat 11.

[0060] according to Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 22 is provided with two positioning blocks 23 at intervals; the support base 11 is provided with two abutting blocks 24 at intervals, and each abutting block 24 abuts against each positioning block 23 respectively.

[0061] Specifically, each abutting block 24 abuts against each positioning block 23 to ensure that the support seat 11 can be precisely assembled in the receiving cavity 22. More specifically, since the two positioning blocks 23 are spaced apart on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 22, the corresponding two abutting blocks 24 are also spaced apart on the support seat 11. When the abutting blocks 24 abut against the positioning blocks 23, the support seat 11 is constrained in multiple directions to restrict the support seat 11 to the specified position, preventing the support seat 11 from easily shaking and further improving the accuracy of the installation position of the entire charging connector 1.

[0062] according to Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the outer casing 21 includes a frame 211 and a rear cover 212, a cavity 22 is formed in the frame 211, and the rear cover 212 is detachably disposed in the frame 211.

[0063] Specifically, in order to improve the ease of assembly of electronic device 2, when assembly is required, various electronic components and second circuit boards can be assembled in the accommodating cavity 22 first, and then the rear cover plate 212 can be assembled on the frame 211 to complete the encapsulation of the entire housing 21; when disassembly is required, only the rear cover plate 212 needs to be separated from the frame 211 to expose the various electronic components and second circuit boards set in the accommodating cavity 22. Compared with the unibody housing structure, this setting can reduce the difficulty and complexity of the assembly process.

[0064] It is understandable that the rear cover 212 is detachably mounted on the frame 211 by means of clips, bolts or magnetic attraction, and the specific mounting method is not limited here.

[0065] according to Figure 3 As shown, in a further embodiment, a support frame 213 is rotatably provided on the end face of the rear cover plate 212.

[0066] Specifically, the support frame 213 is used to support the entire outer casing 21. When the entire electronic device 2 needs to be placed on a table or the ground for use, the support frame 213 can be rotated and unfolded from the back cover 212, and the supporting end of the support frame 213 can be brought into contact with the plane, thereby supporting the outer casing 21 and placing the entire electronic device 2 in a relatively stable angle and position.

[0067] It should be understood that the end face of the rear cover plate 212 is recessed with a storage groove, and the support frame 213 is provided with a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the groove wall of the storage groove. This arrangement ensures that the support frame 213 can rotate and can be accommodated in the storage groove.

[0068] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
