Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and more specifically, to a connector, electronic device, vehicle, and bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In modern electronic devices and electrical systems, connectors play a crucial "bridge" role, providing both robust mechanical fastening and reliable electrical connections. For example, in the automotive field, the on-board charging interface (or charging socket, charging port), as a specialized connector, is a key component for energy and information exchange between the vehicle and external mobile devices; its performance, safety, and user experience are paramount. Improving connector performance is a technical issue that requires continuous attention. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a connector, electronic device, vehicle, and bracket that can have superior performance.

[0004] In a first aspect, a connector is provided, comprising: a first connecting portion having a first connecting structure for mechanically connecting to another connector, the connecting portion including a first recess or a protrusion; and a conductive portion having a first conductive structure for electrically connecting to another connector, the conductive portion including a second recess; wherein the second recess is disposed in the transverse direction of the first recess or protrusion, the transverse direction being any direction parallel to the cross-section of the first recess or protrusion.

[0005] Optionally, the first connection structure described above may include a threaded structure. In other examples, the first connection structure may also include a snap-fit, a bayonet, a latch, an elastic structure, etc., intended to achieve a fixed connection. This application embodiment does not limit the specific type of the first connection structure.

[0006] Optionally, the first conductive structure may include a metallic or other non-metallic conductive structure. The shape of the first conductive structure may include regular or irregular shapes such as sheet-like, block-like, or dot-like. In addition, the first conductive structure may include an independent single conductive structure, or it may include multiple discrete conductive structures. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the material, shape, and quantity of the first conductive structure, but aim to achieve electrical connection by having the connector abut against the conductive structure in the other connector when the connector is connected to another connector.

[0007] The second recess or protrusion can be disposed in the transverse direction of the first recess. The transverse direction can be any direction parallel to the cross-section of the first recess. The cross-section of the first recess can be any plane perpendicular to the depth direction or the recess direction of the first recess.

[0008] According to the technical solution of this application embodiment, in a connector, the connecting portion with the first connecting structure and the conductive portion with the first conductive structure can be two separate components, such as two separate recesses or one recess and one protrusion. Taking a connector including two recesses as an example, the two recesses are not arranged along the depth direction, but along the transverse direction parallel to the cross-section. In this way, each of the two recesses can have independent and relatively sufficient space to set the first connecting structure and the first conductive structure. While ensuring the electrical connection performance of the conductive structure between the two connectors, it is beneficial to improve the mechanical connection strength between the two connectors, thereby comprehensively improving the performance of the connector.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second recess includes an annular recess, which is disposed around the first recess or protrusion.

[0010] Optionally, in some examples, the second recess can be an annular recess, and / or the first recess can be a circular recess. Alternatively, in other examples, the second recess can be a square annular recess, and / or the first recess can be a square recess. Still other examples, the second recess can be an irregularly shaped annular recess, and / or the first recess can be an irregularly shaped recess. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the shape of the second and first recesses in their cross-sections perpendicular to the depth direction.

[0011] In this embodiment, the peripheral space of the first recess can be fully utilized to form a second recess, increasing the surface area of ​​the second recess. This facilitates the placement of conductive structures on the second recess, improving the electrical connection performance of the connector. Furthermore, when the second recess is an annular recess, it can easily mate with the threaded structure in the circular first recess, allowing the conductive structure on the second recess to simultaneously engage with the conductive structure on the other connector when the connector is rotated and connected to another connector via the threaded structure.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the central axis of the second recess is collinear with the central axis of the first recess or protrusion. Specifically, the central axis of the recess may pass through its geometric center and extend along its depth direction, while the central axis of the protrusion may pass through its geometric center and extend along its protrusion direction. In this embodiment, the connector can exhibit better symmetry. When the first recess or protrusion achieves a mechanically fixed connection between the connector and another connector via a first connecting structure, any position within the second recess can possess better stability, thereby facilitating improved electrical connection reliability between the conductive structures within the second recess.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connector further includes a second conductive structure for electrically connecting another connector; the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure are respectively disposed on two opposing inner surfaces in the second recess.

[0014] In the embodiments of this application, the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure can serve as different signal terminals of the connector. For example, the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure can be used as a positive power supply signal terminal and a negative power supply signal terminal, respectively, to connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply. In this case, the connector can serve as a charging interface to realize the charging function.

[0015] By utilizing the technical solution of this application embodiment, two conductive structures are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the second recess, so that when the connector is connected to another connector, the two conductive structures on the second recess can simultaneously and reliably abut against the conductive structure of the other connector, thereby achieving better electrical connection performance between the connectors. This embodiment helps to simplify the structural complexity of the connector.

[0016] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the conductive structure further includes a third conductive structure for electrically connecting another connector. The third conductive structure is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the second recess, or on the first recess or protrusion.

[0017] In this embodiment, the third conductive structure can serve as another signal terminal of the connector. For example, this third conductive structure can be used to transmit data signals, thereby enabling data transmission between different electronic devices.

[0018] The technical solution of this application embodiment utilizes two pairs of conductive structures on opposite sides of the second recess, and simultaneously utilizes another conductive structure on the bottom surface of the second recess. This allows the three conductive structures on the second recess to reliably engage simultaneously when the connector is connected to another connector, achieving better electrical connection performance between them. These three conductive structures can transmit various types of signals, such as simultaneously transmitting current and data signals, enabling charging and data transmission between electronic devices and improving the user experience.

[0019] When the third conductive structure is disposed in the first recess or protrusion, the first recess or protrusion can be used as a mechanical connection part for mechanical connection or as an electrical connection part for electrical connection, which helps to reduce the process complexity of the connector and thus reduce manufacturing costs.

[0020] Optionally, the third conductive structure can be disposed on the inner bottom surface of the first recess or the top surface of the protrusion. When the first recess or protrusion is inserted into the protrusion or recess of another connector to achieve a mechanical connection between the connectors, the conductive structure on the bottom surface of the first recess or the top surface of the protrusion can form a certain force with the conductive structure of the other connector, thereby improving the contact stability between the conductive structures, reducing contact resistance, and improving the electrical connection performance between the connectors.

[0021] Optionally, at least one of the first conductive structure, the second conductive structure, and the third conductive structure described above includes an annular conductive sheet.

[0022] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connector further includes a second conductive structure and a third recess, the second conductive structure being used for electrically connecting another connector, and the third recess being disposed in the lateral direction of the first recess or protrusion; the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure are respectively disposed in the second recess and the third recess.

[0023] Through the technical solution of the embodiments of this application, the connector can be provided with multiple recesses, and conductive structures can be provided in the multiple recesses, which can reduce the possibility of short circuit between multiple conductive structures and improve the electrical connection performance of the connector.

[0024] Optionally, the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure are respectively disposed on the inner bottom surface of the second recess and the inner bottom surface of the third recess. When the first recess or protrusion is inserted into the protrusion or recess of another connector to achieve a mechanical connection between the connectors, the conductive structures on the bottom surfaces of the second and third recesses can form a certain force with the conductive structures of the other connector, thereby improving the contact stability between the conductive structures, reducing contact resistance, and improving the electrical connection performance between the connectors.

[0025] Optionally, the third recess includes an annular recess, which surrounds the first recess or protrusion.

[0026] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the conductive structure further includes a third conductive structure for electrically connecting another connector, the third conductive structure being disposed in the first recess or protrusion.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first recess or protrusion can be used as a mechanical connection part for mechanical connection or as an electrical connection part for electrical connection, which helps to reduce the process complexity of the connector and thus reduce manufacturing costs.

[0028] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connector further includes a second connecting portion, which has a second connecting structure disposed on the outer side of the first connecting portion or connected to the outer bottom surface of the first connecting portion. The second connecting structure is used for mechanically connecting external structural components. In some examples, the connector can be mounted in a vehicle, and the second connecting portion can be used to mount the connector to a trim panel in the vehicle's cabin.

[0029] Optionally, the central axis of the second connector is located on the same straight line as the central axis of the first connector, thereby enabling the connector to have a better mechanical connection effect with another connector and external structural components in the central axis direction, thereby improving the mechanical connection stability between multiple electronic devices.

[0030] In a second aspect, a connector is provided, comprising: a connecting portion having a connecting structure for mechanically connecting to another connector, the connecting portion including a first protrusion or a recess; and a conductive portion having a first mating conductive structure for electrically connecting to a first conductive structure of another connector, the conductive portion including a second protrusion; wherein the second protrusion is disposed in the transverse direction of the first protrusion or recess, the transverse direction being any direction parallel to the cross-section of the first protrusion or recess.

[0033] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the central axis of the first protrusion and the central axis of the second protrusion or recess are located on the same straight line.

Furthermore, in the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0058] For ease of description, only the parts relevant to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0059] The directional terms appearing in the description of this application refer to the directions shown in the figures and are not intended to limit the specific structure of this application. In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] References to "one embodiment" or "some implementations" as described in this application mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in some implementations," and "in other implementations" appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0061] For ease of description, only the parts relevant to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed descriptions are omitted. Directional terms appearing in the description of this application refer to the directions shown in the figures and are not intended to limit the specific structure of this application. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings of this application are for illustrative purposes only, and the components are not drawn to scale.

[0062] This application relates to a connector that can be used to connect two electronic systems or electronic devices to enable the transmission of current or signals.

[0063] In some embodiments, two electronic systems or electronic devices may each be provided with two mating connectors. These two connectors can be plugged in to achieve an electrical connection. One connector can be referred to as a socket end, also known as a receptacle end or female end, and the other connector can be referred to as an insertion end, also known as a plug end or male end. The insertion end may include a raised conductive structure or a conductive structure disposed on an insulating raised portion. The socket end may include a recessed opening, in which a conductive structure may be provided. When the insertion end and the socket end are plugged in, the conductive structures in the socket end and the insertion end come into contact with each other, thereby achieving an electrical connection between them.

[0064] To ensure a secure electrical connection between the two connectors, mutually matching connection structures can be incorporated within them. As an example, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the connection of two connectors provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, connectors 101 and 102 can be plugged into each other. Connector 101 can be referred to as a male connector or male socket connector, and connector 102 can be referred to as a female connector or female socket connector. Connector 101 may include a protrusion 110, a portion of which has a thread 111 along the protrusion direction, and another portion has a conductive structure 112. Connector 102 may include a recess 120, the size of which can be adapted to fit the protrusion 110 in connector 101. A portion of the recess 120 along its depth direction has a thread 121, and another portion has a conductive structure 122. When the protrusion 110 in connector 101 is inserted into the recess 120 in connector 102, the threads 111 and 121 provide a stable mechanical connection between connector 101 and connector 102. Furthermore, the conductive structure 112 can contact the conductive structure 122, thereby achieving an electrical connection between connector 101 and connector 102.

[0066] In this embodiment, the mechanical connection structure (i.e., thread 111) and the electrical connection structure (i.e., conductive structure 112) in connector 101 are disposed on the same protrusion 110. Similarly, the mechanical connection structure (i.e., thread 121) and the electrical connection structure (i.e., conductive structure 122) in connector 102 are disposed on the same recess 120. Thus, both the mechanical and electrical connection structures are constrained by limited space. While ensuring the electrical connection performance of the electrical connection structure, this may lead to a decrease in the connection strength of the mechanical connection structure, affecting the performance of the connector.

[0067] In view of this, the present application provides a connector that can effectively improve the above-mentioned problems, namely, improve the connection strength between connectors, thereby improving the performance of the connector.

[0068] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a connector provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, connector 200 includes a recess 210 and a recess 220. For ease of distinction, recess 210 and recess 220 can be referred to as the first recess and the second recess, respectively. Recess 210 may contain a connecting structure 211 for mechanical connection to another connector, and recess 220 may contain a conductive structure 221 for electrical connection to another connector. The connecting structure 211 can be a mechanical connection structure. As an example, Figure 2The connection structure 211 is illustrated using a threaded structure. In other examples, the connection structure 211 may also include snap-fit, latch, lock, elastic structure, etc., as long as it is used to achieve a fixed connection. This application embodiment does not limit the specific type of the connection structure 211. The conductive structure 221 may include a metallic or other non-metallic conductive structure. The shape of the conductive structure 221 may include regular or irregular shapes such as sheet-like, block-like, or dot-like. In addition, the conductive structure 221 may include an independent single conductive structure, or it may include multiple discrete conductive structures. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the material, shape, and quantity of the conductive structure 221, as long as it can abut against the conductive structure in the other connector when the connector 200 is connected to it, thereby achieving an electrical connection.

[0070] See also Figure 2 As shown, the recess 220 can be provided in the lateral direction of the recess 210. This lateral direction can be any direction parallel to the cross-section of the recess 210, and the cross-section of the recess 210 can be any plane perpendicular to the depth direction or the recess direction of the recess 210. For ease of explanation, Figure 2 The following examples illustrate the X, Y, and Z directions that are perpendicular to each other in three-dimensional space. Figure 2 The schematic diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of connector 200 in the XY plane. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the depth direction of the recess 210 can be the X direction, the cross-section of the recess 210 can be located in the YZ plane, and the recess 220 can be provided in any direction of the recess 210 in the YZ plane.

[0071] Through the technical solution of the embodiments of this application, in the connector 200, the recessed portion 210 with the connecting structure 211 and the recessed portion 220 with the conductive structure 221 can be two separate recessed portions. Moreover, the two recessed portions are not arranged along the depth direction, but are arranged along the transverse direction parallel to the cross-section. In this way, each of the two recessed portions can have independent and relatively sufficient space to set the connecting structure 211 and the conductive structure 221. While ensuring the electrical connection performance of the conductive structure between the two connectors, it is beneficial to improve the mechanical connection strength between the two connectors, thereby comprehensively improving the performance of the connector.

[0072] Compatible with the above connector 200, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of another connector provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0073] like Figure 3As shown, the connector 300 includes a protrusion 310 and a protrusion 320. The protrusion 310 may be provided with a connecting structure 311 for fixedly connecting another connector (e.g., connector 200 in the above embodiment), and the protrusion 320 may be provided with a conductive structure 321 for electrically connecting another connector (e.g., connector 200 in the above embodiment). When the connector 300 and the connector 200 are connected to each other, the connecting structure 311 in the connector 300 can be matched and connected with the connecting structure 211 in the connector 200 to achieve a mechanical connection between the connector 300 and the connector 200, and the conductive structure 321 in the connecting structure of the connector 300 can abut against the conductive structure 221 in the connector 200 to achieve an electrical connection between the connector 300 and the connector 200.

[0074] In this embodiment, the connection structure 311 can be similar to the connection structure 211 in the previous embodiment, and the conductive structure 321 can be similar to the conductive structure 221 in the previous embodiment. The relevant technical solutions of the connection structure 311 and the conductive structure 321 can be found in the relevant descriptions of the previous embodiments. For the sake of brevity, they will not be elaborated on here.

[0075] See also Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 320 can be disposed in the lateral direction of the protrusion 310. This lateral direction can be any direction parallel to the cross-section of the protrusion 310, and the cross-section of the protrusion 310 can be any plane perpendicular to the height direction or the protrusion direction of the protrusion 310. Figure 3 As shown, the height direction of the protrusion 310 can be the X direction, the cross section of the protrusion 310 can be located in the YZ plane, and the protrusion 320 can be disposed in any direction of the protrusion 310 in the YZ plane.

[0076] The technical solution of this application provides a connector 300 adapted to the connector 200 in the above embodiment. In this connector 300, the protrusion 310 with the connecting structure 311 and the protrusion 320 with the conductive structure 321 can be two separate protrusions. The two protrusions are not arranged along the height direction, but along the transverse direction parallel to the cross-section. In this way, each of the two protrusions can have independent and relatively sufficient space to set the connecting structure 311 and the conductive structure 321. While ensuring the electrical connection performance of the conductive structure between the two connectors, it is beneficial to improve the mechanical connection strength between the two connectors, thereby comprehensively improving the performance of the connector.

[0077] Optionally, in some embodiments, the recessed portion 210 in the connector 200 can be replaced by a protrusion, and correspondingly, the protrusion 310 in the connector 300 can be replaced by a recessed portion. Both can be provided with threaded or other connecting structures to achieve a mechanical connection between the connector 200 and the connector 300. Optionally, the components in the connector 200 and connector 300 used to achieve the mechanical connection (e.g., the recessed portion 210 and the protrusion 310 in the above embodiments) can be referred to as connecting portions, and the components in the connector 200 and connector 300 used to achieve the electrical connection (e.g., the recessed portion 220 and the protrusion 320 in the above embodiments) can be referred to as conductive portions. For ease of description, the connecting portions in the connector 200 and connector 300 in the following embodiments are illustrated using the recessed portion 210 and the protrusion 310 as examples, respectively.

[0078] Optionally, in some embodiments, the protrusion 320 and the conductive structure 321 can be two separate components, and the conductive structure 321 can be fixedly disposed on the protrusion 320. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the protrusion 320 and the conductive structure 321 can be integrated into one component. For example, the protrusion 320 can be made of a conductive material, and the protrusion 320 is the conductive structure 321.

[0079] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the recess 220 may include an annular recess, which may surround the recess 210. Similarly, as Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 320 may include an annular protrusion, which may be disposed around the protrusion 310.

[0080] For ease of illustration, Figure 4 and Figure 5 Schematic diagrams of two other connectors provided in embodiments of this application are shown.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, in connector 200, recess 220 can be an annular recess surrounding recess 210. Alternatively, in some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the recess 220 can be an annular recess, and / or the recess 210 can be a circular recess. Alternatively, in some other examples, the recess 220 can be a square annular recess, and / or the recess 210 can be a square recess. Or, in some other examples, the recess 220 can be an irregularly shaped annular recess, and / or the recess 210 can be an irregularly shaped recess. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the shape of the recess 220 and recess 210 in their cross-sections perpendicular to the depth direction.

[0082] like Figure 5As shown, in connector 300, protrusion 320 can be an annular protrusion surrounding protrusion 310. Alternatively, in some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the protrusion 320 can be an annular protrusion, and / or the protrusion 310 can be a cylindrical protrusion. Alternatively, in other examples, the protrusion 320 can be a square annular protrusion, and / or the protrusion 310 can be a square protrusion. Or, in other examples, the protrusion 320 can be an irregularly shaped annular protrusion, and / or the protrusion 310 can be an irregularly shaped protrusion. This application does not specifically limit the shape of the protrusion 320 and protrusion 310 in cross-section perpendicular to the protrusion direction.

[0083] In this embodiment, the peripheral space of the recessed portion 210 and the protruding portion 310 can be fully utilized to provide the recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320, increasing their surface area. This facilitates the provision of conductive structures on them, improving the electrical connection performance between the connector 200 and the connector 300. Furthermore, when the recessed portion 220 is an annular recessed portion and the protruding portion 320 is an annular protruding portion, the annular recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320 can be easily fitted with the threaded structure on the recessed portion 210 and the protruding portion 310, so that when the connector 200 and the connector 300 are rotated and connected through the threaded structure, the conductive structures on the recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320 can simultaneously abut.

[0084] Optionally, in connector 200, the central axis of recess 220 and the central axis of recess 210 can be located on the same straight line. Optionally, in connector 300, the central axis of protrusion 320 and the central axis of protrusion 310 can be located on the same straight line. The central axis of the recess can pass through the geometric center of the recess and extend along the depth direction of the recess, while the central axis of the protrusion can pass through the geometric center of the protrusion and extend along the protrusion direction of the protrusion. In this embodiment, connectors 200 and 300 can have better symmetry. When the recess 210 and protrusion 310 achieve a mechanical fixed connection between connectors 200 and 300 through a connection structure, any position in the recess 220 and protrusion 320 can have better stability, thereby facilitating the improvement of the electrical connection reliability between the conductive structures in the recess 220 and protrusion 320.

Optionally, each protrusion 320 may include a columnar protrusion. In this way, the threaded structure on the recess 210 and the protrusion 310 can also be used to simultaneously achieve contact when the connector 200 and the connector 300 are rotated together by the threaded structure.

For example, the plurality of spherical structures may be arranged on annular or arc-shaped conductive sheets.

[0088] Figure 6 and Figure 7 Schematic diagrams of two more connectors provided in embodiments of this application are shown.

[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the conductive structure 221, connector 200 may also include a conductive structure 222. Both conductive structures 221 and 222 are used for electrically connecting to another connector (e.g., connector 300). For ease of distinction, conductive structures 221 and 222 may be referred to as the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure, respectively. Figure 6 As shown, the conductive structure 221 and the conductive structure 222 can be respectively disposed on two opposite inner surfaces of the recess 220.

[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the conductive structure 321, the connector 300 may also include a conductive structure 322. The conductive structures 321 and 322 are used for electrically connecting to another connector (e.g., connector 200). For ease of distinction, the conductive structures 221 and 222 can be referred to as the first mating conductive structure and the second mating conductive structure, respectively, for mating connections between the first and second conductive structures in connector 200. Figure 7 As shown, the conductive structure 321 and the conductive structure 322 can be respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the protrusion 320.

[0091] When connectors 200 and 300 are connected to each other, the protrusion 320 of connector 300 can be inserted into the recess 220 of connector 200, and the conductive structures 221 and 222 disposed on opposite sides of the recess 220 can respectively abut against the conductive structures 321 and 322 disposed on opposite sides of the protrusion 320.

[0092] Optionally, similar to conductive structures 221 and 321 in the above embodiments, one of conductive structures 222 and 322 may include a ring structure, and the other may include a spherical structure or a dot-like structure. For example, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the conductive structure 222 disposed on the side of the recess 220 may include a ring structure, and the conductive structure 322 disposed on the side of the protrusion 320 may include a spherical structure. Optionally, to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the conductive structure 322 and the conductive structure 222, such as Figure 7 As shown, the conductive structure 322 may include a plurality of spherical structures, which may be arranged circumferentially along the protrusion 320 and may be electrically connected to each other. For example, the plurality of spherical structures may be arranged on annular or arc-shaped conductive sheets.

[0093] In this embodiment, conductive structures 221 and 222 can serve as different signal terminals of connector 200. For example, conductive structures 221 and 222 can be used as positive and negative power supply signal terminals, respectively, to connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply. In this case, connector 200 can serve as a charging interface to implement charging functionality. When an electronic device equipped with connector 300 is connected to connector 200 via connector 300, connector 200 can be used to charge the electronic device.

[0094] By utilizing the technical solution of this application embodiment, two pairs of conductive structures are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320. This allows the two pairs of conductive structures on the recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320 to simultaneously and reliably abut against each other when the connector 200 and connector 300 are connected, thereby achieving better electrical connection performance between the connector 200 and connector 300. This embodiment helps to simplify the structural complexity of the connector. When the two pairs of conductive structures are respectively a positive power signal terminal and a negative power signal terminal, the connector 200 can serve as a charging interface, and the connector 300 can serve as a charging head, realizing the charging function of electronic devices.

[0095] See also Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, connector 200 may include conductive structure 223 in addition to conductive structures 221 and 222. This conductive structure 223 is also used for electrically connecting to another connector (e.g., connector 300). For ease of distinction, this conductive structure 223 may be referred to as a third conductive structure. Figure 6 As shown, the conductive structure 223 can be disposed on the inner bottom surface of the recess 220.

[0096] See also Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, connector 300 may include conductive structure 323 in addition to conductive structures 321 and 322. This conductive structure 323 is also used for electrically connecting to another connector (e.g., connector 200). For ease of distinction, this conductive structure 323 can be referred to as a third mating conductive structure, used for mating connection to a third conductive structure in connector 200. Figure 7 As shown, the conductive structure 323 can be disposed on the top surface of the protrusion 320.

[0097] When connectors 200 and 300 are connected to each other, the protrusion 320 of connector 300 can be inserted into the recess 220 of connector 200, and the conductive structure 223 disposed on the inner bottom surface of the recess 220 can abut against the conductive structure 323 disposed on the top surface of the protrusion 320. Optionally, one of the conductive structures 223 and 323 may include a ring structure, and the other may include a spherical structure or a dot structure. For related technical solutions of the conductive structures 223 and 323, please refer to the description of other conductive structures in the above embodiments.

[0098] In this embodiment, conductive structures 223 and 323 can serve as another type of signal terminal for connectors 200 and 300. For example, conductive structures 223 and 323 can be used to transmit data signals, thereby enabling data transmission between different electronic devices.

[0099] The technical solution of this application embodiment utilizes two pairs of conductive structures on two opposite sides of the recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320, and simultaneously utilizes another pair of conductive structures on the bottom surface of the recessed portion 220 and the top surface of the protruding portion 320. This allows the three pairs of conductive structures on the recessed portion 220 and the protruding portion 320 to reliably abut against each other when the connector 200 and connector 300 are connected, thereby achieving better electrical connection performance between the connector 200 and connector 300. These three pairs of conductive structures can be used to transmit various types of signals, such as simultaneously transmitting current signals and data signals, enabling charging and data transmission functions between electronic devices, thus improving the user experience.

[0100] exist Figure 6 When the connector 200 shown includes three conductive structures, the signal type transmitted by these three conductive structures can be set according to actual needs. The conductive structure used for transmitting data signals can be conductive structure 223, located on the inner bottom surface of the recess 220, or it can be conductive structure 221 or conductive structure 222, located on the inner side surface of the recess 220. Similarly, in Figure 7 When the connector 300 shown includes three conductive structures, the signal type transmitted by these three conductive structures can be set according to actual needs. The conductive structure used for transmitting data signals can be conductive structure 323, located on the top surface of the protrusion 320, or it can be conductive structure 321 or conductive structure 322, located on the side surface of the protrusion 320.

[0101] in addition, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The number of conductive structures is merely an example and not a limitation. In other embodiments, connectors 200 and 300 may include a greater number of conductive structures. For example, connector 200 may include a plurality of annular recesses 220 surrounding recess 210, each recess 220 may be provided with one or more conductive structures. Similarly, connector 300 may include a plurality of annular protrusions 320 surrounding protrusion 310, each protrusion 320 may be provided with one or more conductive structures.

[0102] It should be noted that, since the conductive structure 223 is located inside the recess 220, therefore Figure 7 The conductive structure 223 and the inner surface of the recess 220 are shown in the figure with dashed lines. Other structural features inside the recess 220 are not shown in the figure.

[0103] Optionally, in connector 200, in addition to being located in recess 220, conductive structure 223 may also be located in recess 210 in some embodiments, for example, on the inner bottom surface of recess 210. Similarly, in connector 300, in addition to being located in protrusion 320, conductive structure 323 may also be located in protrusion 310 in some embodiments, for example, on the top surface of protrusion 310. Thus, recess 210 and protrusion 310 can be used as both mechanical connection portions for mechanical connections and electrical connection portions for electrical connections, which helps to reduce the manufacturing complexity of the connector and thus reduce manufacturing costs. Furthermore, when the recessed portion 210 and the protruding portion 310 are interlocked to achieve a mechanical connection between the connectors, a certain force can be formed between the conductive structure 223 on the bottom surface of the recessed portion 210 and the conductive structure 323 on the top surface of the protruding portion 310, which helps to improve the contact stability between the conductive structures, reduce the contact resistance, and improve the electrical connection performance between the connectors.

The recesses 206 and 204 together form the recess 220 in the above embodiment. The separate arrangement of the housings 201 and 202 facilitates the assembly of multiple conductive structures. For example, conductive structures 221, 222, and 223 can be assembled onto the housing 202 first, and then the housing 202 with the assembled conductive structures can be assembled onto the housing 201.

[0106] Optionally, such as Figure 8As shown, the connector 200 may further include a connecting portion 203, which can be connected to the housing 201 for mechanically connecting the connector 200 to an external structural component.

Optionally, the connecting portion 203 may be connected to the outer bottom surface of the recess 210. The central axis of the connecting portion 203 may be collinear with the central axis of the recess 210, thereby enabling the connector 200, connector 300, and external structural components to have a better mechanical connection effect in the central axis direction, thereby improving the mechanical connection stability between multiple electronic devices.

[0116] When connectors 200 and 300 are connected to each other, protrusions 320 and 330 are respectively inserted into recesses 220 and 230. The conductive structure located on the bottom surface of recesses 220 and 230 abuts against the conductive structure located on the top surface of protrusions 320 and 330, thereby realizing the electrical connection between connectors 200 and 300.

[0118] By providing conductive structures in different recesses and protrusions through the technical solutions of this application, the possibility of short circuits between multiple conductive structures can be reduced, thereby improving the electrical connection performance of the connector. Furthermore, when conductive structures are respectively provided on the bottom surface of the recesses 220 / 230 and the top surface of the protrusions 320 / 330, and the recesses 210 and protrusions 310 are interlocked to achieve a mechanical connection between the connectors, a certain force can be formed between the conductive structure on the bottom surface of the recesses 220 / 230 and the conductive structure on the top surface of the protrusions 320 / 330. This helps to improve the contact stability between the conductive structures, reduce contact resistance, and improve the electrical connection performance between the connectors.

[0121] In this embodiment, the recessed portion 210 and the protruding portion 310 can be used as both mechanical connection portions and electrical connection portions, which helps to reduce the process complexity of the connector and thus reduce manufacturing costs. Furthermore, when the recessed portion 210 and the protruding portion 310 are interlocked to achieve a mechanical connection between the connectors, a certain force can be formed between the conductive structure 223 on the bottom surface of the recessed portion 210 and the conductive structure 323 on the top surface of the protruding portion 310. This helps to improve the contact stability between the conductive structures, reduce contact resistance, and improve the electrical connection performance between the connectors.
