[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device assembly 100, which comprises an electronic device body 200 and a connector 300. The connector 300 is not integrally formed with the electronic device body 200, and the connector 300 is used to be fixedly connected to the electronic device body 200 in a set orientation during assembly, and the connector 300 is used to be electrically connected with the electronic device body 200.

[0026] Exemplarily, the electronic device body 200 comprises a first shell 202, and a wiring terminal 203 of the electronic device body 200 is exposed from the first shell 202. The connector 300 comprises a second shell 301, and the second shell 301 is open at both ends, and a wiring terminal 302 of the connector 300 is located in the second shell 301. The connector 300 and the electronic device body 200 are not integrally formed, and are two separate components. During the assembly process in actual application, the second shell 301 of the connector 300 can be fixed to the first shell 202 of the electronic device body 200 according to the orientation of the connector 300 required by the connection of the electronic device body 200 with other electronic devices, and meanwhile the wiring terminal 302 of the connector 300 is in contact with the wiring terminal 203 of the electronic device body 200, so as to realize the electrical connection between the connector 300 and the electronic device body 200.

[0027] By adopting the technical scheme, the electronic device body 200 and the connector 300 are two independent components, and the connector 300 can be fixedly connected to the electronic device body 200 in multiple set orientations during actual application. That is, the connector 300 can be fixed to the electronic device body 200 in the required orientation according to the requirement of the orientation of the connector 300 during application, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the electronic device body 200 and other electronic devices by the connector 300.

[0028] To sum up, the present application adopts a modular structure, and the electronic device body 200 and the connector 300 are two independent components, which can be combined at will according to requirements, are simple and convenient, do not need to prepare multiple complete molds of electronic devices with different orientation connectors, reduce the waste of raw materials, reduce the time cost, and have a wide application range.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some possible embodiments, the orientation is set to include a first direction Z, where the first direction Z is the thickness direction of the electronic device body 200; the connector 300 is fixedly connected to the upper surface 201 of the electronic device body 200 and extends along the first direction Z. It is understood that in this embodiment, the electrical connection ends of other electronic devices that need to be electrically connected to the electronic device body 200 via the connector 300 are located above the electronic device body 200. Therefore, by fixing the second housing 301 of the connector 300 to the upper surface 201 of the electronic device body 200 and extending it along the first direction Z, one end of the terminal 302 located within the second housing 301 is connected to the terminal 203 of the electronic device body 200, and the other end is used for electrical connection with other electronic devices.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments, the electronic device body 200 is rectangular; the orientation includes a second direction Y, which is the length direction of the electronic device body 200; a portion of the connector 300 is embedded in the upper surface 201 of the electronic device body 200 and extends along the second direction Y. It is understood that in this embodiment, the electrical connection terminals of other electronic devices that need to be connected to the electronic device body 200 via the connector 300 are located on one side of the electronic device body 200 in the second direction Y. Therefore, by fixing the second housing 301 of the connector 300 to the electronic device body 200 and extending it along the second direction Y, one end of the terminal 302 located within the second housing 301 is connected to the terminal 203 of the electronic device body 200, and the other end is used for electrical connection with other electronic devices.

[0031] In some possible implementations, the electronic device body 200 is rectangular; the orientation includes a third direction X, which is the width direction of the electronic device body 200; a portion of the connector 300 is embedded in the upper surface 201 (not shown) of the electronic device body 200 and extends along the third direction X. It is understood that in this implementation, the electrical connection terminals of other electronic devices that need to be connected to the electronic device body 200 via the connector 300 are located on one side of the electronic device body 200 in the third direction X. Therefore, by fixing the second housing 301 of the connector 300 to the electronic device body 200 and extending it along the third direction X, one end of the terminal 302 located within the second housing 301 is connected to the terminal 203 of the electronic device body 200, and the other end is used for electrical connection with other electronic devices.

[0032] It should be noted that the above three embodiments respectively illustrate that the connector 300 is fixedly connected to the electronic device body 200 in three different setting orientations (i.e., the first direction Z, the second direction Y, and the third direction X), but those skilled in the art can understand that the orientation of the connector 300 fixed to the electronic device body 200 depends on the connection requirements in the actual application process, for example, the electrical connection end of the other electronic device described above is located above the side of the electronic device body 200, so the connector 300 is correspondingly inclined upward and extends toward the electrical connection end of the other electronic device.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the connector 300 is ultrasonically or laser welded to the electronic device body 200, so that the connection quality between the second housing 301 of the connector 300 and the first housing 202 of the electronic device body 200 is high, and the thermal influence on the electronic device body 200 is small. Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the connector 300 is ultrasonically or laser welded to the electronic device body 200, so that the connection quality between the second housing 301 of the connector 300 and the first housing 202 of the electronic device body 200 is high, and the thermal influence on the electronic device body 200 is small.

[0034] In other embodiments, the connector 300 is detachably connected to the electronic device body 200. Exemplarily, when the electronic device body 200 needs to be repaired or replaced due to failure, the detachably connected connector 300 can be quickly separated from the electronic device body 200 by the maintenance personnel, without the need for complex disassembly operation, thereby reducing the maintenance time and workload.

[0035] In some possible embodiments, the electronic device body 200 is a sensor or a controller. Exemplarily, for example, the electronic device body 200 is a sensor, which is connected to other electronic devices (such as a display) through the connector 300, the sensor can perform image detection, etc., and transmit the electrical signal to the display, thereby realizing the functions of anti-collision warning, obstacle detection, etc.

[0036] Although the utility model has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific embodiments, and the specific implementation of the utility model cannot be limited to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art can make various changes in form and details, including making a number of simple inferences or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
