[0002] In traditional controller designs, the female output interface is often connected to the motherboard as an independent component. This approach has many drawbacks. It requires manual soldering of the output connector to the motherboard, which increases the number of steps, production costs, and work efficiency. Moreover, during use, the contact points are prone to loosening and oxidation, which reduces the stability of the connection, causes poor contact failures, and affects product quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a controller with a female plug output interface integrated on the motherboard that has high stability and high production efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a controller with a female plug output interface integrated on a motherboard, comprising an upper housing, a lower housing detachably connected to the upper housing, and a motherboard disposed between the upper housing and the lower housing. One end of the motherboard is provided with an integrally connected conductor, and one end of the lower housing is provided with a socket for threaded connection to the outside. The socket is provided with symmetrically arranged connection holes, and a limiting groove adapted to the conductor end of the motherboard is provided between the two connection holes. When the motherboard is inserted into the limiting groove, it forms an electrical connection directly with the external connector through the conductor.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: the other end of the motherboard is provided with an integrally connected USB port, and the other end of the lower housing is provided with a fixing groove adapted to the USB port.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: a locking structure is provided between the upper housing and the lower housing, the locking structure including a fixing hole provided above the limiting groove and a locking buckle provided on the upper housing that is adapted to the fixing hole.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the latch consists of a locking strip and a ball disposed at the end of the locking strip. When the upper and lower shells are connected, the ball can be smoothly inserted into the fixing hole to form a latch structure.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a positioning post is provided inside the upper housing, and a through hole adapted to the positioning post is provided on the main board.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a guide-type limiting post is provided in the four corner areas at the bottom of the upper shell, and an installation hole adapted to the guide-type limiting post is provided in the lower shell.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the motherboard is provided with control contacts, and the upper housing is provided with control switches corresponding to the control contacts.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. The upper and lower housings are detachably connected, facilitating easy access to the motherboard and internal components for installation, debugging, repair, or replacement, reducing maintenance costs and improving efficiency. The female output interface is integrated onto the motherboard, combining conductors and USB ports into a single unit. This not only reduces production steps and costs but also saves space, making the controller more compact and easier to install in space-constrained devices. The lower housing features threaded connections for secure connections to external devices, preventing loosening. Simultaneously, the motherboard uses limiting grooves to accurately connect to conductors and external connectors, ensuring stable and reliable electrical connections and reducing issues such as poor contact.
[0013] 2. The locking structure, in conjunction with the limiting groove, assists the mainboard in quickly and accurately aligning with the limiting groove and connecting holes of the lower housing during installation. This ensures the connection accuracy between the conductors and external connectors, preventing installation deviations from affecting electrical connection performance and thus guaranteeing the stability of the controller's overall signal transmission and power supply. The locking structure ensures a tight fit between the upper and lower housings. Once the ball engages with the fixing hole, a stable mechanical lock is formed. This effectively prevents accidental separation of the upper and lower housings during vibration, external impact, or long-term use, ensuring the stable operation of internal components such as the mainboard and conductors, and avoiding problems such as poor contact and component damage caused by loose housings. The upper and lower housings are connected by a locking structure. Compared to traditional screw fixing methods, no tools are needed; simply align the ball of the locking mechanism with the fixing hole and press down to complete assembly. Disassembly is achieved by gently moving the locking strip to separate the upper and lower housings, greatly reducing the operation time for equipment maintenance, repair, or component replacement, and significantly improving maintenance efficiency.
[0014] 3. The positioning posts mate with the through holes on the motherboard, allowing for quick and accurate placement of the motherboard in the designated position during installation. This prevents the motherboard from shifting or misaligning during installation and ensures precise alignment of conductive parts, USB ports, and other components on the motherboard with their corresponding structures on the lower housing. This not only guarantees the accuracy and stability of electrical connections but also helps improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. After the positioning posts are inserted into the through holes on the motherboard, they can restrict the motherboard's movement to a certain extent. Combined with the locking structure of the upper and lower housings and the lower housing's fixing effect on the motherboard, this makes the motherboard more securely installed within the housing, enhancing the overall structural stability of the controller, improving its vibration and shock resistance, and extending the controller's service life.
[0015] 4. The guide-type limiting posts at the four corners of the bottom of the upper housing are compatible with the mounting holes in the lower housing. During the assembly of the upper and lower housings, the guide-type limiting posts provide excellent guidance, allowing the upper housing to accurately and quickly align with the lower housing. This reduces installation difficulty, improves installation efficiency, and minimizes potential deviations and errors during installation, making it particularly suitable for automated assembly lines. The control contacts on the main board correspond to the control switches on the upper housing, allowing users to directly operate and control the functions on the main board through the control switches on the upper housing. This makes operation more intuitive and convenient, eliminating the need to open the housing or use other complex methods for control, thus enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0021] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0022] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.
[0023] Figures 1 to 3 The controller shown integrates a female connector output interface onto a motherboard. It includes an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2 detachably connected to the upper housing 1, and a motherboard 3 positioned between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The detachable connection between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 facilitates the installation, debugging, repair, or replacement of internal components such as the motherboard 3, reducing maintenance costs and improving ease of use. One end of the motherboard 3 has an integrally connected conductive body 4. The female connector output interface is integrated onto the motherboard 3 and directly electrically connected to external connectors via the conductive body 4. Compared to the traditional method of soldering copper pins to the motherboard 3, this reduces additional steps and interface components, resulting in a more compact and integrated controller structure, saving space and facilitating installation in space-constrained devices. The lower housing 2 has a socket 6 at one end for threaded connection to the outside, which ensures a firm connection with external equipment and prevents loosening. The socket 6 has symmetrical connection holes 8, and a limiting groove 9 between the two connection holes 8 is adapted to the conductor 4 end of the main board 3. The main board 3 is precisely positioned through the limiting groove 9, and the conductor 4 is in stable contact with the external connector, forming a reliable electrical connection, reducing failures caused by poor contact, and improving the stability and reliability of the controller.
[0024] The other end of the motherboard 3 is equipped with an integrated USB port 5, which increases the ways the controller can connect to external devices. In addition to connecting to external connectors via the conductor 4, it can also connect via USB, facilitating data transfer, charging, and other operations with various devices that support USB interfaces, thus improving the controller's versatility and applicability. The other end of the lower housing 2 is equipped with a fixing slot 7 that matches the USB port 5. When the motherboard 3 is installed into the lower housing 2, the USB port 5 can be precisely embedded in the fixing slot 7, providing positioning and fixation, and ensuring a more stable connection between the USB port 5 and external USB devices.
[0025] A locking structure 11 is provided between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The locking structure 11 includes a fixing hole 10 located above the limiting groove 9 and a locking buckle 11 on the upper housing 1 that matches the fixing hole 10. The locking structure 11, in conjunction with the limiting groove 9, assists the main board 3 in quickly and accurately aligning with the limiting groove 9, connecting hole 8, and other structures of the lower housing 2 during installation. This ensures the connection accuracy between the conductor 4 and the external connector, avoids affecting the electrical connection performance due to installation deviations, and thus guarantees the stability of the overall signal transmission and power supply of the controller. The locking structure 11 allows the upper and lower housings 2 to fit tightly together. After the ball is inserted into the fixing hole 10, a stable mechanical lock is formed. During vibration, external impact, or long-term use, it effectively prevents the upper and lower housings 2 from accidentally separating, ensuring the stable operation of internal components such as the main board 3 and conductor 4, and avoiding problems such as poor contact and component damage caused by loose housings.
[0026] The latch 11 consists of a retaining strip and a ball at the end of the retaining strip. Compared with the traditional screw fixing method, no tools are needed. Assembly can be completed by simply aligning the ball of the latch 11 with the fixing hole 10 and pressing it down. When disassembling, the upper and lower housings 2 can be separated by gently moving the retaining strip. This greatly shortens the operation time for equipment maintenance, repair or component replacement and significantly improves maintenance efficiency.
[0027] The upper housing 1 is equipped with a positioning post 12, and the main board 3 is equipped with a through hole 13 that matches the positioning post 12. During installation, the main board 3 can be quickly and accurately placed in the predetermined position, preventing offset or misalignment during installation. This ensures precise alignment of components such as the conductor 4 and USB port 6 on the main board 3 with their corresponding structures on the lower housing 2. This not only guarantees the accuracy and stability of the electrical connection but also helps improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. After the positioning post 12 is inserted into the through hole 13 of the main board 3, it can restrict the movement of the main board 3 to a certain extent. Combined with the locking structure 11 of the upper and lower housings 2 and the fixing effect of the lower housing 2 on the main board 3, the main board 3 is more securely installed inside the housing, enhancing the structural stability of the entire controller, improving its vibration and impact resistance, and extending the controller's service life.
[0028] The upper housing 1 is provided with guide-type limiting posts 14 in the four corner areas at the bottom. The lower housing 2 is provided with mounting holes 15 that are adapted to the guide-type limiting posts 14. When the upper and lower housings 2 are assembled, the guide-type limiting posts 14 can play a good guiding role, so that the upper housing 1 can accurately and quickly dock with the lower housing 2, reducing the installation difficulty, improving the installation efficiency, and reducing possible deviations and errors during the installation process. It is especially suitable for automated assembly lines.
[0029] The motherboard 3 is provided with control contacts, and the upper housing 1 is provided with control switches 16 corresponding to the control contacts, so that users can directly operate and control the functions on the motherboard 3 through the control switches 16 of the upper housing 1. The operation is more intuitive and convenient, without having to open the housing or control it through other complicated methods, thus improving the user experience.
