Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and in particular to a BTB connector female socket structure. Background Technology

[0002] BTB female connectors are connectors used for connecting internal circuit boards in electronic devices. They are typically rectangular and widely used in smartphones, digital cameras, industrial equipment, and other applications requiring board-to-board connections. Their working principle is based on the contact elasticity between the metal pins and the socket. When the male connector is inserted into the female connector, the metal pins are subjected to pressure by the socket spring, ensuring good contact between the pins and the socket, thereby enabling signal and power transmission. The armor plate is an important component of the BTB female connector, primarily used to protect the connector's ends, and is widely used due to its effective improvement in wear resistance and lifespan.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the board-to-board female connector disclosed in patent number CN202022808696.4, a female connector includes a female base and a female end fitting disposed at the end of the female base. The female end fitting includes a first fitting integrally molded with the female base insert. The first fitting includes a protective structure for protecting the end of the female base island and an embedding part embedded in the base plate. The first fitting is connected to the female base through the embedding part and the protective structure protects the end of the female base island. This connector female base structure is stable, strong, durable, and has good practicality. However, the embedding part of this connector female base is relatively wide, and the protective structure protecting the end of the island is relatively high. During processing and forming, there is a large stretching difficulty at the connection between the embedding part and the protective structure, which can easily lead to an increased defect rate during product production and is not conducive to mass production and promotion. Therefore, a BTB connector female base structure that can solve the above problems is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a BTB connector female socket structure that can effectively solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above requirements, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] A BTB connector female socket structure is provided, including a connector female socket and two protective armors respectively disposed at both ends of the connector female socket. The connector female socket includes a female socket core and a central island protruding from the female socket core. The protective armors include a first protective part that protects the edge of one end of the female socket core, a second protective part that protects the end of the central island, and a connecting part that connects the first protective part and the second protective part. The second protective part includes a protective shell covering one end of the central island and a bent part that connects the protective shell and the connecting part. There is a height difference between the protective shell and the bottom end of the central island.

[0007] The present invention discloses a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the first protective part includes two fixing plates arranged along the length direction of the female socket core, and a connecting plate connecting the two fixing plates, the two fixing plates and the connecting plate together forming a semi-enclosed rectangular structure.

[0008] The present invention relates to a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the protective shell includes two corner protectors that respectively cover one end of the central island, and both corner protectors are fixedly connected to the bent portion.

[0009] The present invention discloses a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the end corner cover includes a first protective surface for protecting the upper surface of the island, a second protective surface for protecting the side wall of the island facing the fixing plate, and a third protective surface for protecting the side wall of the island facing the connecting plate.

[0010] The present invention discloses a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the end of the central island is provided with a first positioning groove, a second positioning groove and a third positioning groove respectively adapted to the first protective surface, the second protective surface and the third protective surface, the side wall of the second positioning groove is provided with a positioning step for positioning the second protective surface, and the second protective surface is provided with a fourth positioning groove adapted to the positioning step.

[0011] This utility model discloses a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein two third protective surfaces facing each other are fixedly connected by a connecting surface, the upper end of the connecting surface is fixedly connected to the end of the first protective surface near the connecting plate, and the lower end of the connecting surface is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bent portion.

[0012] This utility model discloses a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the bent part is L-shaped, the lateral end of the bent part is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting part away from the fixing plate along the length direction of the female socket core, and the longitudinal end of the bent part is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting surface.

[0013] The present invention relates to a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the upper end of the side wall facing the connecting surface of the connecting plate is provided with a first guide slope that is inclined downward.

[0014] The present invention relates to a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the bottom end of the connecting part is provided with a first extension part along the width direction of the female socket core, the end of the first extension part away from the connecting part is vertically upward, and a locking block is provided on the side wall of the longitudinal end of the first extension part facing the connecting part, which is detachably connected to the connector male socket.

[0015] This utility model discloses a BTB connector female socket structure, wherein the protective armor and the connector female socket are integrally formed.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The BTB connector female socket structure provided by this utility model connects the second protective part and the protective shell through a bending part. The width of this bending part is relatively small, and the required tensile and bending forces during the material forming process are smaller. The material is less prone to defects such as cracking and deformation, thereby significantly reducing the processing difficulty and production defect rate. This not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the cost increase caused by material waste, making the BTB connector female socket structure more economical and feasible for large-scale production.

[0018] Secondly, the protective shell has a reduced extension dimension in the height direction, which effectively reduces the precision requirements of the processing equipment and the complexity of the molds during the processing, thus effectively controlling the processing difficulty and manufacturing cost, thereby improving production efficiency and facilitating the mass production and promotion of this BTB connector female structure.

[0019] Furthermore, the addition of protective shells at both ends of the connector's center island significantly improves its reliability and lifespan. These protective shells not only effectively protect the ends of the center island from scratches but also cleverly increase the insertion stroke during mating with the female connector. During insertion and removal, the protective shells provide a buffer zone for the male connector, allowing for smoother contact with the female connector and reducing localized stress concentration caused by uneven insertion and removal forces. This lowers the risk of wear on the center island and the core, extending the connector's lifespan and further enhancing signal transmission stability. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a BTB connector female socket structure, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the connector includes a female connector 1 and two protective armor plates 2 respectively disposed at both ends of the female connector 1. The female connector 1 includes a female connector core 10 and a central island 11 protruding from the female connector core 10. The protective armor plate 2 includes a first protective part 20 that protects the edge of one end of the female connector core 10, a second protective part 21 that protects the end of the central island 11, and a connecting part 22 that connects the first protective part 20 and the second protective part 21. The second protective part 21 includes a protective shell 210 covering one end of the central island 11 and a bent part 211 that connects the protective shell 210 and the connecting part 22. There is a height difference between the protective shell 210 and the bottom end of the central island 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first protective part 20 includes two fixing plates 200 arranged along the length direction of the female core 10, and a connecting plate 201 connecting the two fixing plates 200. The two fixing plates 200 and the connecting plate 201 together form a semi-enclosed rectangular structure. The connecting part 22 is located at the bottom inside the semi-enclosed structure. The semi-enclosed rectangular structure can wrap and protect the edge of the female core 10 in all directions, effectively preventing mechanical damage such as impact and friction from external objects to the edge of the female core 10, and improving the durability and service life of the connector female core 1.

[0034] The connecting part 22 is horizontally located at the bottom of the semi-enclosed rectangular structure. The upper ends of the fixing plate 200 and the connecting plate 201 are respectively bent towards the connecting part 22 to form a second extension 202 and a third extension 203. The upper ends of the second extension 202 and the third extension 203 are provided with a third guide slope 205 and a third guide slope on the side wall facing the central island 11. These guide slopes play a guiding role for the male seat when the male seat and the female seat are engaged. The second slope and the third slope are made by a stretching and chamfering process, which effectively reduces the tensile stress of the material during the forming process and improves the overall strength of the structure.

[0035] The lower end of the third extension 203 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting part 22 away from the central island 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, the protective shell 210 includes two corner protectors 212 that correspond to the two corners of one end of the central island 11. Both corner protectors 212 are fixedly connected to the bending part 211 and protect the two corners of the same side of the central island 11 respectively.

[0037] The corner protector 212 includes a first protective surface 2120 that protects the upper surface of the island 11, a second protective surface 2121 that protects the side wall of the island 11 facing the fixing plate 200, and a third protective surface 2122 that protects the side wall of the island 11 facing the connecting plate 201. When the corner protector 212 is correctly placed on the island 11, it can fit tightly to the shape of the corner of the island 11, providing all-round protection for the corner of the island 11 from the side and top, effectively preventing the corner of the island 11 from being damaged by friction from the male socket during insertion and removal.

[0038] In this embodiment, the end of the central island 11 is provided with a first positioning groove 110, a second positioning groove 111, and a third positioning groove 112 that are respectively adapted to the first protective surface 2120, the second protective surface 2121, and the third protective surface 2122. The side wall of the second positioning groove 111 is provided with a positioning step 113 for positioning the second protective surface 2121. The second protective surface 2121 is provided with a fourth positioning groove 2123 that is adapted to the positioning step 113. When installed in place, the first protective surface 2120 is located in the first positioning groove 110, the second protective surface 2121 is located in the second positioning groove 111, and the third protective surface 2122 is located in the third positioning groove 112. The positioning step 113 helps the protective shell 210 to be correctly installed at the end of the central island 11, improving the overall compactness of the structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two third protective surfaces 2122 are fixedly connected to each other's sidewalls via a connecting surface 2124. The upper end of the connecting surface 2124 is fixedly connected to the end of the first protective surface 2120 near the connecting plate 201, and the lower end of the connecting surface 2124 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bending portion 211. The connecting surface 2124, the two second protective surfaces 2121, the bending portion 211, and the connecting portion 22 are integrally formed, which simplifies the manufacturing process and facilitates product production and promotion. Furthermore, the connecting surface 2124, the two second protective surfaces 2121, the two first protective surfaces 2120, and the two third protective surfaces 2122 form a fully enclosed structure around the end of the central island 11, effectively preventing mechanical damage to the end of the central island 11 caused by impact, friction, or other factors during the insertion and removal process, thereby improving the durability and service life of the connector female socket 1.

[0040] The bending part 211 is L-shaped. The lateral end of the bending part 211 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting part 22 away from the fixing plate 200 along the length direction of the female core 10. The longitudinal end of the bending part 211 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting surface 2124. This structure has a simple processing technology and is quick and convenient to form.

[0041] The upper end of the side wall of the connecting surface 2124 facing the connecting plate 201 is provided with a first guide slope 2125 that slopes downward. During the mating process of the male and female seats, the male seat guides the female seat and helps it to be more smoothly aligned and inserted into the center island 11 of the female seat. This reduces the resistance and friction during the insertion and removal process, which not only improves the convenience and efficiency of the insertion and removal operation, but also effectively reduces the risk of damage to the center island 11 caused by improper insertion and removal.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the connecting part 22 is provided with a first extension 220 along the width direction of the female core 10. The end of the first extension 220 away from the connecting part 22 is vertically upward. A locking block 221 that can be detachably connected to the male connector is provided on the side wall of the longitudinal end of the first extension facing the connecting part 22.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the first extension 220 and the connecting part 22 have a cross-shaped structure. When the male and female seats are plugged in and out, the longitudinal end of the first extension 220 can have a large elastic deformation space, which makes the protective armor 2 itself have a longer service life.

[0044] The longitudinal end of the first extension 220 is located below the curved portion of the second extension 202. When the male and female seats mate, the insertion end of the male seat will be inserted into the female seat along the third guide slope 205. This structure can protect the longitudinal end of the second extension 202, so that it does not have to withstand too much elastic deformation, thereby improving the overall stability and service life of the structure. At the same time, the distance between the locking ends of the two locking blocks 221 is smaller than the distance between the two second extensions 202, so the locking of the locking blocks 221 and the male seat will not be affected.

[0045] In this embodiment, the protective armor 2 and the connector female 1 are integrally formed, which not only ensures the stability of the connection between the protective armor 2 and the connector female 1 and improves the overall structural strength of the connector, but also greatly improves the bonding strength between the protective shell 210 and the female core 10, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the connector female 1.

[0046] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
