Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a connector device with height reduction function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in order to facilitate the mating of connectors, connectors are usually placed on the panel of electronic products, and the insertion interface at the end of the connector head is exposed on the outer side of the panel.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, when a connector is mounted on a panel, only the tail end of the connector does not protrude beyond the outer surface of the panel. In other words, the vast majority of the connector, including its head end, protrudes beyond the outer surface of the panel, with its protrusion length almost equal to the entire length of the connector. This not only affects the aesthetics of the outer surface of the panel but also leaves the connector almost entirely exposed and unprotected, making it susceptible to impacts and collisions, and potentially causing damage. This problem has long been criticized.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve upon the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art has become a major issue that urgently needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connection device with a height reduction function to reduce the height of the connector relative to the outer side of the panel.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a connection device with height reduction function for fixing to the panel of an electronic product, comprising:

[0007] Connector;

[0008] A fixed sleeve includes a cylindrical body and a stop portion connected to each other. The connector is sleeved on the cylindrical body and the connector is located inside the cylindrical body. One end of the stop portion protrudes from the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body passes through the panel and has an outer assembly portion on its outer peripheral surface. The stop portion stops on one side of the panel and is located outside the panel. The cylindrical body, together with its other end, protrudes from the other side of the panel and is located inside the panel.

[0009] The assembly is a hollow body and has an inner connecting part that can be connected to the outer connecting part. The assembly is connected to the cylinder and abuts against the other side of the panel.

[0010] The fixing sleeve is located inside the panel along with the connector, thus reducing the height of the connector relative to the panel.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This allows the original protruding part of the connector, which originally protruded from the outer side of the panel, to be submerged within the inner side of the panel. This protects the original protruding part within the panel area, reducing the risk of collisions and impacts, while also enhancing the aesthetics of the panel on the outer side.

[0026] The technical solution protected by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This utility model provides a connection device with height reduction function, such as Figure 1As shown, it is fixed on the panel 9 of an electronic product 900 for a mating connector to be inserted into, and therefore has a insertion direction that is approximately perpendicular to the panel 9.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connecting device 100 with height reduction function of this utility model (hereinafter referred to as the connecting device) includes: a connector 1, a fixing sleeve 2, and an assembly 3. It should be noted that, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, panel 9 has an outer side 91 and an inner side 92 facing each other and is provided with at least one mounting hole 93, which passes through the space between the outer side 91 and the inner side 92; furthermore, as Figure 4 Matching Figure 1 As shown, the interior and exterior of the electronic product 900 are divided by the panel 9 into an outer panel area A1 (i.e., the exterior of the electronic product 900) located outside the panel 9 and an inner panel area A2 (i.e., the interior of the electronic product 900) located inside the panel 9.

[0029] Connector 1 can be any existing connector that allows the mating connector to be inserted into it along the insertion direction. It includes a metal surrounding shell and a terminal group 12 disposed within the metal surrounding shell along the insertion direction. One end of the metal surrounding shell is an open insertion end face 13; the terminal group 12 includes a plurality of terminals, each terminal as follows: Figure 3 The device shown has a plug-in portion 121 and a welding portion 122 facing each other. Each plug-in portion 121 is exposed through a plug-in end face 13 to facilitate plugging, and each welding portion 122 protrudes from the other end of the metal surrounding shell to facilitate welding.

[0030] The fixed sleeve 2 includes a cylindrical body 23 and a stop portion 21 connected to each other, for example, they can be integrally connected to each other, but are not limited thereto.

[0031] The cylindrical body 23 is a hollow cylindrical body with a hollow portion 25. The cylindrical body 23 also defines an axial direction D1 and a radial direction D2 that are perpendicular to each other, and the axial direction D1 is parallel to the aforementioned insertion direction. The cylindrical body 23 is sleeved on the connector 1 and has a first cylindrical end 231 and a second cylindrical end 232 that are opposite to each other. The outer peripheral surface 233 of the cylindrical body 23 is also provided with an external assembly portion. This utility model does not limit the type of assembly structure of the external assembly portion. In this embodiment, the external thread 2331 is used as an example for description.

[0032] The stop portion 21 protrudes radially D2 beyond the cylinder body 23 corresponding to the first cylinder end 231, making the stop portion 21 a hollow convex ring with the following characteristics: Figure 3The diagram shows a front side 211 and a back side 212 facing each other. In some embodiments, the cylindrical body 23 is connected to the back side 212 of the stop portion 21 with its first cylindrical end 231. In other words, the cylindrical body 23 protrudes from the back side 212 of the stop portion 21 along the axial direction D1. The aforementioned connector 1 can be entirely located within the hollow portion 25 of the cylindrical body 23 (at which time the insertion end face 13 is flush with or lower than the front side 211), with only the aforementioned welding portions 122 protruding from the second cylindrical end 232. That is, when the cylindrical body 23 is fitted onto the connector 1, the connector 1 will protrude from the back side 212 of the stop portion 21 along the axial direction D1, and as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the insertion end face 13 of connector 1 does not protrude from the front face 211.

[0033] The assembly 3 may be a hollow body with a hollow portion 31, such as a hollow ring of a nut, and this utility model does not limit it in this way. The inner periphery of the assembly 3 has an inner connection portion that can be connected to the aforementioned outer connection portion (which may be an external thread 2331). Therefore, the inner connection portion may be an internal thread 32 that can be screwed to the aforementioned external thread 2331.

[0034] During assembly, the fixing sleeve 2, on which the connector 1 is fitted, is first inserted into the mounting hole 93 along the axial direction D1 at its second cylindrical end 232. When fully inserted, the stop part 21 is positioned so that its back side 212 blocks the outer side surface 91 of the panel 9, allowing the stop part 21 to... Figure 4 The portion shown is located in the outer region A1 of the aforementioned panel. It should be noted that at this point, only the slightly thick stop portion 21 of the entire connecting device 100 protrudes from the outer surface 91, while the cylinder 23, along with its second cylindrical end 232, protrudes axially D1 from the inner surface 92. The remaining portion of the connecting device 100, except for the stop portion 21, is located in the inner region A2 of the panel. Next, the assembly 3 is screwed onto the outer thread 2331 of the cylinder 23 with its internal thread 32 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, and screwed until the assembly 3 abuts against the inner surface 92 of the panel 9, thus clamping the panel 9 between the stop portion 21 and the assembly 3. In this way, the connecting device 100 of this invention is assembled into the mounting hole 93 of the panel 9.

[0035] In this way, such as Figure 4As shown, since only the stop portion 21 of the connecting device 100 protrudes from the outer side 91 of the panel 9, the remaining parts of the connecting device 100 (the cylinder 23 and most of the connectors 1) protrude from the inner side 92 of the panel 9. The majority of the connectors 1 in the remaining parts will be referred to as the original protruding parts below. In this way, the connectors 1 can reduce their protrusion height relative to the panel 9 from the outer side 91, thus protecting the original protruding parts within the panel area A2 and reducing the impact and collision effects (because the original protruding parts were originally protruding from the outer side 91). It also increases the aesthetics of the panel 9 on the outer side 91. Furthermore, the connecting device 100 of this invention can be assembled onto various different panels.

[0036] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the connector 1 has a first structure 11 on its exterior, and the cylindrical body 23 of the fixing sleeve 2 has a second structure 24 corresponding to the first structure 11 inside. The connector 1 and the fixing sleeve 2 are positioned or fixed to each other by the first structure 11 corresponding to the second structure 24 inside the cylindrical body 23.

[0037] In summary, the connection device of this utility model with height reduction function can indeed achieve the expected use purpose and effect, and can solve the shortcomings of the prior art. Therefore, a patent application is filed.
