Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to an HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector. Background Technology

[0002] An HDMI connector, or High Definition Multimedia Interface, is a fully digital video and audio transmission interface that can send uncompressed audio and video signals. HDMI connectors are used in devices such as set-top boxes, DVD players, personal computers, televisions, game consoles, integrated amplifiers, digital audio systems, and televisions. HDMI can transmit audio and video signals simultaneously, and because audio and video signals use the same cable, it greatly simplifies system wiring installation.

[0003] Currently, upright HDMI socket connectors are inserted vertically. After the plug is inserted, it is pulled by the drooping wire on one side, causing continuous stress on one side of the connector shell. Over time, this leads to loosening and slight deformation, resulting in gaps between the internal terminals and the shell. This prevents the plug from connecting securely to the connector. Furthermore, during frequent plugging and unplugging, when the external plug is inserted into the connector, the plug shell cannot make a secure connection with the HDMI socket connector. This makes the connector less resistant to plugging and unplugging, reduces its lifespan, and adversely affects data transmission.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector to improve the structural stability of the connector and thus extend its service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes an HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector to improve the structural stability of the connector, thereby extending its service life.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model proposes an HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector, including a reinforcing shell, a protective shell, a plug-in end plate, and a fixing plate. The plug-in end plate is housed within the protective shell and fixedly connected to the inner side of the protective shell. One end of the protective shell passes through the fixing plate and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The pin portion of the plug-in end plate forms an electrical connection with the fixing plate. The reinforcing shell is sleeved on the outer periphery of the protective shell and fixedly connected to the protective shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the packaging shell is provided with a first embedding part, and one side of the plug-in end plate is provided with a first embedding groove, and the first embedding part is received in the first embedding groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the first embedding groove is elongated, and the first embedding part includes at least two first embedding protrusions, which are arranged sequentially and are all housed within the first embedding groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the packaging shell is provided with a second embedding part, which is away from the first embedding part, and a second embedding groove is provided on one side of the plug-in end plate, in which the second embedding part is received.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two second embedding slots, and the second embedding part includes an even number of second embedding protrusions. The even number of second embedding protrusions are divided into two groups, and the two groups of second embedding protrusions correspond one-to-one with the two second embedding slots and are housed in the second embedding slots.

[0012] Furthermore, the two sides of the enclosure are provided with third embedding protrusions, and the two sides of the plug-in end plate are provided with third embedding grooves. The two third embedding protrusions correspond one-to-one with the two third embedding grooves, and the third embedding protrusions are received in the third embedding grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, the plug-in end plate is provided with a centering limiting groove, and one end of the encapsulation shell is provided with a positioning plate, which is housed in the centering limiting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, both sides of the reinforced shell are provided with positioning welding parts, which are fixedly connected to the surface of the wrapping shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the positioning welding part includes a plurality of positioning welding holes, which are arranged sequentially on the centerline of the reinforced shell.

[0016] Furthermore, the plug-in end plate includes an end shell and a terminal assembly, wherein the end shell and the terminal assembly are integrally formed.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model employs a casing shell and a plug-in end plate for fixed connection. Simultaneously, a reinforcing shell further encloses and reinforces the casing shell, making it less prone to deformation under lateral forces and improving its stability. The fixing plate serves as the connecting structure for fixing the casing shell during plug-in, preventing lateral displacement of the casing shell under force and enhancing the overall stability of the connector. In summary, this HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector effectively improves the structural stability of the connector, thereby extending its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Fixed plate 4, through hole 41. Detailed Implementation

[0028] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model proposes an HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector, including a reinforcing shell 1, a wrapping shell 2, a plug-in end plate 3, and a fixing plate 4. Both the reinforcing shell 1 and the wrapping shell 2 are sheet metal structures. The plug-in end plate 3 is housed inside the wrapping shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the wrapping shell 2. One end of the wrapping shell 2 passes through the fixing plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 4. The pin portion 301 of the plug-in end plate 3 forms an electrical connection with the fixing plate 4. The reinforcing shell 1 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the wrapping shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the wrapping shell 2. The top of the reinforcing shell 1 is provided with a supporting horizontal plate 12, which provides a lateral support force for the inserted connector and improves the stability of the connector insertion.

[0030] In this embodiment, the enclosure shell 2 is fixedly connected to the plug-in end plate 3. At the same time, the reinforcing shell 1 wraps and reinforces the enclosure shell 2, making it less prone to deformation when subjected to lateral force, thus improving the stability of the enclosure shell 2. When the plug is inserted, due to the wrapping of the reinforcing shell 1, the downward pull of the wire will not cause deformation of the enclosure shell 2. The fixing plate 4 serves as the connection structure for fixing the enclosure shell 2 to the plug, preventing the enclosure shell 2 from shifting laterally after being subjected to force, thus improving the overall stability of the connector. One end of the enclosure shell 2 is provided with multiple plug-in pins 25, and the fixing plate 4 is provided with multiple through holes 41. The multiple plug-in pins 25 correspond one-to-one with the multiple through holes 41. The plug-in pins 25 penetrate through the through holes 41, and then the plug-in pins 25 are fixed to the hole wall of the through holes 41 by soldering.

[0031] In summary, this HDMI 2.1 upright socket connector effectively improves the structural stability of the connector, thereby increasing its service life.

[0032] In this embodiment, the casing 2 is provided with a first embedding part 21, and the plug-in end plate 3 is provided with a first embedding groove 31 on one side. The first embedding part 21 is received in the first embedding groove 31. During assembly, the plug-in end plate 3 is first fixed in position, and then the casing 2 is wrapped around the plug-in end plate 3 by an external device. Then, the first embedding part 21 is punched out on one side of the casing 2 by an external riveting device, so that the first embedding part 21 is received in the first embedding groove 31. This increases the fixing force between the casing 2 and the plug-in end plate 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first embedding groove 31 is elongated, and the first embedding part 21 includes at least two first embedding protrusions 211. The at least two first embedding protrusions 211 are arranged in sequence and are all housed in the first embedding groove 31. When the external riveting device operates on one side of the shell 2, at least two first embedding protrusions 211 need to be protruded into the first embedding groove 31 to hold the two ends of the first embedding groove 31 in place so that the shell 2 will not loosen laterally.

[0034] In this embodiment, the casing 2 is provided with a second embedding part 22, which is away from the first embedding part 21. The plug-in end plate 3 is provided with a second embedding groove 32 on one side, and the second embedding part 22 is received in the second embedding groove 32. During assembly, after the external riveting equipment has already punched out the first embedding part 21, it is necessary to punch out the second embedding part 22 on the other side of the casing 2 so that the second embedding part 22 is embedded into the second embedding groove 32 and tightens the second embedding groove 32, thereby improving the fixing force between the casing 2 and the plug-in end plate 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are two second embedding slots 32, and the second embedding part 22 includes an even number of second embedding protrusions 221. The even number of second embedding protrusions 221 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of second embedding protrusions 221 correspond one-to-one with the two second embedding slots 32 and are housed in the second embedding slots 32. When the external riveting device operates on the other side of the casing 2, since there are two second embedding slots 32, it is necessary to symmetrically punch out an even number of second embedding protrusions 221 so that the second embedding protrusions 221 are respectively pressed against the two second embedding slots 32 to prevent the casing 2 from loosening from left to right.

[0036] In this embodiment, the two sides of the casing 2 are respectively provided with third embedding protrusions 23, and the two sides of the plug-in end plate 3 are respectively provided with third embedding grooves 33. The two third embedding protrusions 23 correspond one-to-one with the two third embedding grooves 33, and the third embedding protrusions 23 are received in the third embedding grooves 33. After the external riveting equipment punches out the second embedding part 22, the third embedding protrusions 23 need to be punched out on both sides of the casing 2 to increase the structural stability of both sides of the casing 2. After punching out the third embedding protrusions 23, the third embedding protrusions 23 are embedded into the third embedding grooves 33. At this time, the fixing of the casing 2 and the plug-in end plate 3 is completed, which greatly improves the stability of the connection.

[0037] In this embodiment, the plug-in end plate 3 is provided with a centering limiting groove 34, and one end of the wrapping shell 2 is provided with a positioning plate 24, which is housed in the centering limiting groove 34. In order to ensure that the wrapping shell 2 is always in the center position when connected to the plug-in end plate 3, it is necessary to set the centering limiting groove 34 to match the positioning plate 24. Before the wrapping shell 2 is fixed to the plug-in end plate 3, the positioning plate 24 is first inserted into the centering limiting groove 34 for positioning, and then the fixed connection is performed.

[0038] In this embodiment, both sides of the reinforcing shell 1 are provided with positioning welding parts 11, which are fixedly connected to the surface of the wrapping shell 2. The positioning welding parts 11 are used to provide a positioning welding structure for the external laser welding machine, so that when the external laser welding machine welds the reinforcing shell 1, it can directly weld and fix the reinforcing shell 1 to the wrapping shell 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning welding part 11 includes a plurality of positioning welding holes 111, which are arranged sequentially on the center line of the reinforcing shell 1. During the laser welding process, the worker only needs to align the welding head with the positioning welding holes 111 in sequence for welding. After all the positioning welding holes 111 are welded, the reinforcing shell 1 wraps around the wrapping shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the wrapping shell 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the plug-in end plate 3 includes an end shell 35 and a terminal assembly 36. The end shell 35 and the terminal assembly 36 are integrally formed, which improves the stability of the terminal assembly 36 and prevents the terminal assembly 36 from popping out during plug-in connection, thus ensuring the reliability of the product's electrical functions.

[0041] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
