Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a connector, and more particularly to an FFC wire connector. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible flat cable, or FFC for short, is a type of connecting wire used in electronic devices. FFC has many advantages, such as being thin, flexible, bendable, easy to install and connect, which makes it widely used in various electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, automotive electronics, medical devices, and aerospace.

[0003] Most existing FFC connectors cannot adjust the pin order, which limits their compatibility in different devices or application scenarios. Furthermore, when it is necessary to change the relative direction between two FFC lines, existing connectors cannot provide sufficient rotational freedom or guarantee stable electrical contact during rotation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of not being able to adjust the PIN value and change the direction, this utility model provides an FFC wire connector.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an FFC wire connector, including an FFC wire, wires, a first connecting base plate, a connecting rod, a circular conductor, a first connecting line, a second connecting base plate, and a second connecting line. The FFC wire contains several wires. The first connecting base plate has a connecting rod in the middle, and multiple circular conductors are mounted on the connecting rod. Multiple first connecting lines are mounted on the upper side of the first connecting base plate, and the first connecting lines are sequentially connected to the circular conductors. A second connecting base plate is rotatably mounted on the first connecting base plate, and a second connecting cover is mounted on the second connecting base plate. Multiple second connecting lines are mounted on the second connecting base plate, and the second connecting lines contact the upper side of the circular conductors. The contact sequence may differ from the connection sequence between the first connecting lines and the circular conductors. The wires of the FFC wire are sequentially connected to the first connecting lines, and the wires of another FFC wire are sequentially connected to the second connecting lines.

[0006] In one embodiment, the system further includes a first connecting cover and a second connecting cover. The first connecting cover is provided on the upper side of the first connecting base plate, and the first connecting cover has a circular opening in the middle. The annular conductor is located inside the circular opening. The second connecting base plate is provided with a second connecting cover.

[0007] In one embodiment, both the first connecting base plate and the second connecting base plate have guide grooves on their upper sides, the same number as the number of wires.

[0008] In one embodiment, both the first connecting base plate and the second connecting base plate are made of insulating material.

[0009] In one embodiment, the lower side of the second connecting base plate is higher than the upper side of the first connecting cover.

[0010] In one embodiment, a guide block is also included. Guide blocks are provided on the front and rear sides of both the first connecting base plate and the second connecting base plate, and the opposite side of the guide block is inclined.

[0011] In one embodiment, the top of the annular conductor has a groove, the shape of which matches the bottom of the second connecting line, and the bottom of the second connecting line is located inside the groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects are: 1. This utility model, through the design of the first connecting line, the circular conductor, and the second connecting line, can realize the adjustment of the PIN order of the FFC line, increasing the compatibility and flexibility of the product. Through the design of the first connecting base plate and the second connecting base plate, the direction between the two FFC lines can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the needs of different equipment or application scenarios. The circular conductor and the second connecting line ensure that even when the second connecting base plate is rotated, the second connecting line and the circular conductor can still maintain good contact.

[0013] 2. The design of the guide groove and guide block in this utility model helps to guide the FFC wire to be inserted correctly, prevents it from deviating from the correct position during insertion, improves the accuracy of the connection, and reduces connection failures caused by misinsertion. The first and second connecting base plates are both made of insulating material to prevent current from flowing through unexpected paths, avoid short circuits and other electrical faults, and ensure the safety of the circuit. The design of the slide groove ensures that the second connecting wire can maintain stable contact with the annular conductor even during rotation, further enhancing the reliability of the electrical connection.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0021] An FFC wire connector, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes an FFC wire 1, conductors 101, a first connecting base plate 2, a connecting rod 3, a circular conductor 4, a first connecting line 5, a second connecting base plate 6, and a second connecting line 7. The FFC wire 1 contains several conductors 101. The first connecting base plate 2 has a first connecting cover 21 on its upper side, with a circular opening in the center. The first connecting base plate 2 has a connecting rod 3 in its center, with multiple circular conductors 4 on the connecting rod 3. The first connecting base plate 2 has multiple first connecting lines 5 on its upper side, the number of which is the same as the number of circular conductors 4. The first connecting lines 5 are sequentially connected to the circular conductors 4. The first connecting base plate 2 has a rotatable second connecting base plate 6, with multiple second connecting lines 7 on the second connecting base plate 6. The second connecting lines 7 pass through the second connecting base plate 6 and contact the upper side of the circular conductors 4. The contact sequence can be different from the connection sequence between the first connecting lines 5 and the circular conductors 4. The conductors 101 of the FFC wire 1 are sequentially connected to the first connecting lines 5, and the conductors 101 of another FFC wire 1 are sequentially connected to the second connecting lines 7.

[0022] When the conductor 101 of FFC line 1 is connected to the first connecting line 5 in sequence, the conductor 101 inside it will form an electrical connection with the first connecting line 5. The first connecting line 5 is connected to multiple annular conductors 4 installed on the connecting rod 3 in sequence. At the same time, the conductor 101 of another FFC line 1 is connected to the second connecting line 7 in sequence. Its conductor 101 is connected to the second connecting line 7. Since the second connecting line 7 is in contact with the upper side of the annular conductor 4, and this contact can have different orders, which may be different from the connection order between the first connecting line 5 and the annular conductor 4, the order of the PIN ports of FFC line 1 can be adjusted by changing these two connection orders. When it is necessary to adjust the direction between the two FFC lines 1, the second connecting base plate 6 can be rotated to a suitable position. During rotation, the second connecting line 7 can always maintain good contact with the annular conductor 4 to ensure the stability of the electrical connection.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, it also includes a first connecting cover and a second connecting cover. The first connecting cover is provided on the upper side of the first connecting base plate. The first connecting cover has a circular opening in the middle and the annular conductor is located in the circular opening. The second connecting base plate is provided with a second connecting cover. The first connecting cover and the second connecting cover can protect the components on the first connecting base plate 2 and the second connecting base plate 6 from dust and other factors.

[0024] The first connecting base plate 2 and the second connecting base plate 6 each have the same number of guide grooves 9 as the wires 101 on their upper sides. The guide grooves 9 are arranged in parallel. When the wires 101 of the FFC line 1 are inserted, the guide grooves 9 can ensure that the wires 101 of the FFC line 1 are accurately aligned and connected to the corresponding first connecting line 5 or second connecting line 7.

[0025] All are made of insulating materials, ensuring that no short circuit or other electrical faults occur due to the first connecting base plate 2 and the second connecting base plate 6 when current passes through the annular conductor 4, thus maintaining the safety and stability of the circuit.

[0026] The lower side of the second connecting base plate 6 is higher than the upper side of the first connecting cover 21. When the second connecting base plate 6 rotates, it ensures that there is enough space to operate without interfering with the first connecting cover 21, thereby allowing the second connecting base plate 6 to rotate freely to adjust the direction between the FFC lines 1.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a guide block 8. The first connecting base plate 2 and the second connecting base plate 6 are provided with guide blocks 8 on the front and rear sides. The opposite side of the guide block 8 is inclined. The guide block 8 helps to guide the FFC line 1 to be inserted correctly, prevents it from deviating from the correct position during the insertion process, and the inclined design can help the FFC line 1 slide into the connector more easily.

[0028] The top of the annular conductor 4 has a groove, the shape of which matches the bottom of the second connecting line 7. The bottom of the second connecting line 7 is located inside the groove. The groove ensures that even when the second connecting base plate 6 rotates, the second connecting line 7 and the annular conductor 4 can still maintain good contact, thus ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
