[0026] Please refer to this together. Figure 1-3 , Figure 1This is a bottom view of the first embodiment of the adapter provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a side view of the first embodiment of the adapter provided in this application. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the adapter.

[0027] The adapter 100 in this embodiment includes an adapter body 120 and a grounding component 110. The adapter 100 has a bidirectional connection function through the adapter body 120. The adapter 100 is used to realize signal conversion between different connected objects. In a specific application scenario, the adapter 100 can be used to convert between different models of memory cards, so that one model of memory card can be used as another model of memory card, thereby adapting to different application scenarios. In a specific application scenario, the adapter 100 can be used to realize the connection between different models of connected objects. The specific application of the adapter 100 is not limited here. External connected objects may include, but are not limited to, various types of storage devices, vehicle systems, computer terminals, mobile terminals, and other devices.

[0028] See Figure 3 The adapter body 120 includes multiple connectors 124 arranged side by side at intervals. One end of the connector 124 forms a first connection end 121, and the other end of the connector 124 forms a second connection end 122.

[0029] Multiple first connection terminals 121 are used to connect one connection object of the adapter 100, and multiple second connection terminals 122 are used to connect another connection object of the adapter 100. That is, one connection object is connected to another connection object through the adapter body 120.

[0030] The grounding component 110 is connected to the first grounding terminal 1211 of the plurality of first connection terminals 121 and the second grounding terminal 1221 of the plurality of second connection terminals 122. Both the first grounding terminal 1211 and the second grounding terminal 1221 are ground pins (GND). By connecting the first grounding terminal 1211 of the first connection terminals 121 and the second grounding terminal 1221 of the plurality of second connection terminals 122, the grounding component 110 provides a complete signal return path for the signal transmission of the adapter 100, thereby reducing signal transmission loss and ensuring signal quality integrity.

[0031] See Figure 2The grounding component 110 further forms a first grounding plane 112. The first grounding plane 112 is disposed on the side of the adapter body 120 away from the connection surface 126 and is parallel to the adapter body 120. In the vertical direction y of the adapter body 120, the first grounding plane 112 at least partially overlaps with multiple adapter bodies 120. Thus, the first grounding plane 112 provides a certain degree of shielding or enclosing of the adapter body 120. Furthermore, the metal shielding effect of the first grounding plane 112 improves the shielding effect of external signals on the adapter body 120, reduces signal interference from external signals to the adapter body 120, improves signal transmission quality, and meets the signal requirements for high-speed transmission.

[0032] In one specific application scenario, in the vertical direction y of the adapter body 120, the first grounding plane 112 may overlap only with multiple first connection terminals 121; in another specific application scenario, in the vertical direction y of the adapter body 120, the first grounding plane 112 may overlap only with multiple second connection terminals 122; in yet another specific application scenario, in the vertical direction y of the adapter body 120, the first grounding plane 112 may overlap with the entire adapter body 120. The area and shape of the first grounding plane 112 are not limited here, but the shape may include, but is not limited to, square, circle, triangle, trapezoid, rhombus, or irregular shapes.

[0033] With the above structure, the adapter in this embodiment includes an adapter body and a grounding component. The adapter body includes multiple spaced connectors, one end of which forms a first connection terminal and the other end of which forms a second connection terminal. The grounding component is connected to the first grounding terminal among the multiple first connection terminals and the second grounding terminal among the multiple second connection terminals, thereby providing a complete signal return path for the signal transmission of the adapter, thereby reducing signal transmission loss and ensuring signal quality integrity. The grounding component also forms a first grounding plane, which is disposed on the side of the adapter body away from the connection surface and is parallel to the adapter body. In the vertical direction of the adapter body, the first grounding plane at least partially overlaps with the multiple first connection terminals and / or the multiple second connection terminals, so as to utilize the metal shielding effect of the first grounding plane to improve the shielding effect of external signals on the first connection terminals and / or the second connection terminals, reduce the signal interference of external signals on the first connection terminals and / or the second connection terminals, improve signal transmission quality, and achieve the signal requirements of high-speed transmission.

[0034] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the grounding element 110 further includes at least one vertical segment 111; the vertical segment 111 is connected to the first grounding terminal 1211 in a one-to-one correspondence. The number of vertical segments 111 and the first grounding terminal 1211 may both be multiple, depending on the connection requirements corresponding to the adapter 100.

[0035] One end of the vertical segment 111 is perpendicularly connected to the edge of the corresponding first grounding terminal 1211 away from the second grounding terminal 1221, and the other end of the vertical segment 111 is perpendicularly connected to the corresponding edge of the first grounding plane 112.

[0036] Since the connectors 124 are arranged side by side, in order to avoid accidentally connecting other signal terminals when connecting the first ground terminal 1211 to the first ground plane 112, the connection between the first ground terminal 1211 and the first ground plane 112 is made by a vertical segment 111 set at the edge position. This keeps the vertical segment 111 as far away from other signal terminals as possible, reduces the occurrence of connection errors, and improves the accuracy of the connection between the first ground terminal 1211 and the first ground plane 112.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-2 In some embodiments, the grounding member 110 further includes a connecting contact point 115 and an extension member 114. A hollow area 113 is provided on the first grounding plane 112. The extension member 114 is disposed in the hollow area 113 and extends from the first grounding plane 112 into the hollow area 113. In the vertical direction y of the adapter body 120, the extension member 114 overlaps with the second grounding end 1221. The extension member 114 is welded to the second grounding end 1221 through the connecting contact point 115.

[0038] To prevent other signal terminals from being mistakenly connected when the first ground plane 112 is connected to the second ground terminal 1221, a hollow area 113 is provided, and an extension 114 that overlaps with the second ground terminal 1221 extends from it. The second ground terminal 1221 and the extension 114 are then welded together through a connection contact point 115, thereby reducing the occurrence of connection errors and improving the accuracy of the connection between the first ground plane 112 and the second ground terminal 1221.

[0039] In some embodiments, the adapter body 120 further includes a separate grounding terminal 125, which is arranged side by side with the first connection terminal 121 and is connected to the grounding member 110.

[0040] That is, the grounding terminal in the first connection terminal 121 includes a separate grounding terminal 125 and a first grounding terminal 1211. The grounding component 110 can also be provided with a corresponding vertical segment 111 for connection to the separate grounding terminal 125; one end of the vertical segment 111 is perpendicularly connected to one side edge of the separate grounding terminal 125, and the other end of the vertical segment 111 is perpendicularly connected to the corresponding edge of the first grounding plane 112.

[0041] The separate grounding terminal 125 is configured based on the connection requirements of the external connection objects of the adapter body 120. In other embodiments, the separate grounding terminal 125 can also be configured based on other connection requirements, such as setting 0, 1, or 2, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connector 124 includes a first connecting end 121, an inclined portion 123, and a second connecting end 122 connected in sequence.

[0043] The size of the first connecting end 121 is larger than that of the second connecting end 122. The inclined portion 123 of each connector 124 is inclined toward the middle area of ​​the adapter body 120 to meet the spacing requirements of the first connecting end 121 and the second connecting end 122 with different sizes, thereby adapting to the model of their respective external connection objects.

[0044] In a specific application scenario, the adapter 100 can be used to switch between micro memory cards (Trans-flash Cards, TF cards) and standard memory cards (Secure Digital cards), that is, as a card sleeve for converting micro memory cards to standard memory cards. Specifically, the adapter body 120 has multiple first connection terminals 121 and a separate ground terminal 125 for connecting to a standard memory card, and multiple second connection terminals 122 for connecting to a micro memory card.

[0045] When the adapter 100 is used for switching between micro memory cards and standard memory cards, the width of the first connecting terminal 121 and the individual grounding terminal 125 ranges from 2.0 to 2.2 mm, specifically 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 mm. The spacing between adjacent grounding terminals ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 mm, specifically 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 mm. The width of the second connecting terminal 122 ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 mm, specifically 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 mm. The spacing between adjacent second connecting terminals 122 ranges from 0.7 to 0.8 mm, specifically 0.7 or 0.8 mm.

[0046] In this application scenario, the number of first connection terminals 121 can be 9, and the number of second connection terminals 122 can be 8, to correspond to the connection requirements of micro memory cards and standard memory cards.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first connection end 121 is a planar structure, and the second connection end 122 is arc-shaped, with the arc opening facing away from the first ground plane 112, so that the apex of the arc surface contacts the adapter.

[0048] The planar first connecting end 121 increases the area for connection with the corresponding adapter, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The arc-shaped second connecting end 122 can make elastic point contact with the corresponding adapter, thereby improving the connection stability between the second connecting end 122 and the corresponding adapter through elasticity, and facilitating the insertion and movement of the corresponding adapter before the corresponding connection.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The adapter 100 also includes an insulating housing 190; the insulating housing 190 is fitted with the adapter body 120 and the grounding component 110.

[0050] The first grounding plane 112 is provided with at least one mounting hole 119, and the insulating shell 190 extends into the mounting hole 119 to fix the first grounding plane 112 and the insulating shell 190. The insulating shell 190 also covers each connector 124 to fix the adapter body 120.

[0051] The number of mounting holes 119 can be multiple, including but not limited to 2, 3, 4, or 6. The shape of the mounting holes 119 includes but is not limited to circles, squares, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, annular shapes, etc. The position of the mounting holes 119 can be set according to actual needs, with symmetrical design being preferred, but no specific limitation is made here.

[0052] The insulating outer shell 190 is made of insulating material, such as plastic or rubber, which can be formed by hot melt injection molding.

[0053] In a specific application scenario, when the adapter 100 is used to switch between a micro memory card and a standard memory card, the micro memory card can be placed on the side of the second connection end 122 near the first ground plane 112, sandwiched between the second connection end 122 and the insulating shell 190 on that side. This allows the arc of the second connection end 122 to connect with the contacts of the micro memory card, while the connection surface 126 of the first connection end 121 is exposed through the insulating shell 190 to connect with a connection object of the same specification as the standard memory card, so that the micro memory card can be converted into a standard memory card for use.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a bottom view of the second embodiment of the adapter provided in this application. For ease of viewing, the insulating shell is omitted from the schematic diagram.

[0055] The grounding component 210 also includes a grounding side 211. At least one edge of the first grounding plane 212 extends vertically toward the side closer to the adapter body 220 to form a grounding side 211. Specifically, it can be one side, two sides, three sides, or four sides. The more grounding sides 211 there are, the better the signal shielding effect.

[0056] In the corresponding direction of the plane where the adapter body 220 is located, the projection of the adapter body 220 falls within the grounding side 211. That is, the grounding side 211 surrounds the adapter body 220 from the side, thereby further utilizing the metal shielding effect of the grounding side 211 to improve the shielding effect of external signals on the adapter body 220, reduce the signal interference of external signals to the adapter body 220, improve the signal transmission quality, and achieve the signal requirements of high-speed transmission.

[0057] Other structures in this embodiment, including but not limited to the structural position of the adapter body 220 and the structural position of the first grounding plane 212, are the same as those in the previous embodiments. Please refer to the previous text for further details.

[0058] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a top view of the third embodiment of the adapter provided in this application. For ease of viewing, the insulating shell is omitted from the schematic diagram.

[0059] The grounding component 310 also includes a second grounding plane 313. The second grounding plane 313 is disposed on the side of the adapter body 320 near the connection surface, and is spaced apart from and parallel to the adapter body 320. The second grounding plane 313 is perpendicular to the grounding side surface 311. That is, the combination of the first grounding plane 312, the grounding side surface 311, and the second grounding plane 313 can surround the grounding component 310 from multiple directions or even at all angles. This utilizes the multi-directional metal shielding effect to improve the shielding effect against external signals on the adapter body 320, reduce signal interference from external signals to the adapter body 320, improve signal transmission quality, and meet the signal requirements for high-speed transmission. Note that "all angles" does not mean "complete enclosure," and some external connection points will be exposed.

[0060] In the vertical direction y of the adapter body 320, the second grounding plane 313 does not overlap with the multiple first connection terminals, so as to expose the connection surface of the first connection terminals for external connection.

[0061] In addition to being connected to the grounding terminal on the adapter body 320, the grounding component 310 is spaced apart at other locations to provide insulation and prevent leakage. In order to improve the insulation effect, insulating material can also be provided between the grounding component 310 and the adapter body 320 for insulation, such as by changing the shape of the plastic shell and by injection molding to achieve corresponding insulation isolation, etc.

[0062] Other structures in this embodiment, including but not limited to the structural positions of the adapter body 320, the first grounding plane 312, and the grounding side 311, are the same as those in the previous embodiment. Please refer to the previous text for further details.

[0063] Please see Figure 6, Figure 6 This is a top view of the fourth embodiment of the adapter provided in this application. For ease of viewing, the insulating shell is omitted from the schematic diagram.

[0064] The grounding component 410 also includes a surrounding component 414, which surrounds the adapter body 420 and is located on the same plane as the adapter body 420. That is, the surrounding component 414 is spaced around the four sides of the adapter body 420 to improve the side metal shielding effect of the adapter body 420, enhance the shielding effect against external signals, reduce signal interference from external signals, improve signal transmission quality, and meet the requirements for high-speed signal transmission.

[0065] The surrounding member 414 connects the first grounding terminal 4211, the individual grounding terminal 425, and the second grounding terminal 4221. Specifically, the vertical member can be configured as a three-terminal member, with one end connected to the first grounding terminal 4211 or the individual grounding terminal 425, and the other end vertically connected to the first grounding plane 412. The second grounding terminal 4221 can be directly connected to the surrounding member 414 through a region with a non-arc vertex.

[0066] Other structures in this embodiment, including but not limited to the structural position of the adapter body 420 and the structural position of the first grounding plane 412, are the same as those in the previous embodiments. Please refer to the previous text for further details.

[0067] Through the above structure, this embodiment connects the grounding component to the first grounding terminal among multiple first connection terminals and the second grounding terminal among multiple second connection terminals, thereby providing a complete signal return path for the signal transmission of the adapter, thereby reducing signal transmission loss and ensuring signal quality integrity; wherein, the grounding component also forms a first grounding plane, a grounding side, a second grounding plane or a surrounding component, so as to utilize the metal shielding effect of the grounding component to improve the shielding effect of external signals on the adapter body, reduce the signal interference of external signals to the adapter body, improve signal transmission quality, and achieve the signal requirements of high-speed transmission.
