Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector technology, and more particularly to a side-standing connector. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, more and more electronic and electrical devices are appearing in people's daily lives. Especially in electronic devices, almost all kinds of electronic devices need to use connectors, such as the most common USB connector. Nowadays, most commonly used connectors are upright, which is convenient to operate. However, a common problem encountered when using these connectors is the inconvenience of insertion and removal space. In some places, the space reserved for insertion and removal of connectors is relatively small, and there is not enough space to place the connector upright. At this time, many people think of changing the upright connector to a side-standing type, that is, the insertion end of the connector forms an angle with the transmission line, in order to meet the needs of electronic signal transmission in special occasions.

[0003] However, due to the poor connection stability between the connector body and the housing of existing side-mounted connectors, they are easily affected by the vertical insertion and extraction forces during the insertion and extraction process, which can lead to the separation of the connector body and the housing, affecting user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, the present application provides a side-standing connector that can improve the connection stability between the connector body and the housing.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a side-mounted connector, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A side-standing connector, comprising:

[0007] Connector body;

[0008] The housing includes a frame and a cover, with the connector body disposed within the frame;

[0009] The vertical frame includes a vertical surface and a first horizontal surface and a second horizontal surface arranged opposite to each other, the vertical surface being used to connect the first horizontal surface and the second horizontal surface;

[0010] The cover includes a positive pressure part and an inclined pressure part connected to each other; the positive pressure part is detachably connected to the vertical surface, and the positive pressure part is used to press against the connector body along a first direction; the inclined pressure part is rotatably connected to the first horizontal surface, and the inclined pressure part is used to press the connector body against the second horizontal surface along a second direction; the first direction is a direction parallel to the first horizontal surface, and the second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the vertical surface extends along the first direction to form an extended surface;

[0012] The extended surface includes a connected inclined section and a vertical section, the vertical section being perpendicular to the first direction, and the inclined section intersecting the vertical section;

[0013] The positive pressure part abuts against one side of the vertical section, and the inclined pressure part abuts against one side of the inclined section; the positive pressure part is detachably connected to the vertical section.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of vertical surfaces is two, and the number of extended surfaces is the same as the number of vertical surfaces;

[0015] The connector body includes a plug-in portion and a body portion that are connected to each other;

[0016] The first horizontal plane, the second horizontal plane, and the two vertical planes enclose a first receiving cavity, and the insertion part is disposed in the first receiving cavity;

[0017] The cover and the two extended surfaces enclose a second receiving cavity, and the main body is disposed within the second receiving cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, the inclined section is provided with a positioning groove, and the main body is provided with a positioning part, wherein the positioning groove and the positioning part are positioned and engaged.

[0019] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the outer side of the vertical section, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the positive pressure part;

[0020] The protrusion engages with the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0021] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the main body;

[0022] The second horizontal plane is engaged within the engagement groove.

[0023] Furthermore, along the first direction of the frame near the cover, the length of the first horizontal plane is greater than the length of the second horizontal plane.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages: In this application, the position of the connector body in the first direction is restricted by the positive pressure part cooperating with the first horizontal plane, and the position of the connector body in the second direction is restricted by the oblique pressure part cooperating with the first horizontal plane and the second horizontal plane, and the first direction and the second direction intersect; thus, the vertical limit of the opposite vertical connector is formed, and the connection stability between the connector body and the shell is improved.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0031] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a side-mounted connector, including a connector body 100 and a housing 200; the housing 200 includes a frame 210 and a cover 220, and the connector body 100 is disposed within the frame 210; the frame 210 includes a vertical surface 211 and a first horizontal surface 212 and a second horizontal surface 213 disposed opposite to each other, the vertical surface 211 being used to connect the first horizontal surface 212 and the second horizontal surface 213; the cover 220 includes a positive pressure portion 221 and an inclined pressure portion 222 connected to each other; the positive pressure portion... 221 is detachably connected to the vertical surface 211. The positive pressure part 221 is used to cooperate with the first horizontal surface 212 to restrict the position of the connector body 100 in a first direction. The inclined pressure part 222 is rotatably connected to the first horizontal surface 212. The inclined pressure part 222 is used to cooperate with the first horizontal surface 212 and the second horizontal surface 213 to restrict the position of the connector body 100 in a second direction. The first direction is a direction parallel to the first horizontal surface 212, and the second direction intersects the first direction.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cover 220 includes a positive pressure part 221 and an inclined pressure part 222 connected to each other. The inclined pressure part 222 is rotatably connected to the first horizontal surface 212, so that the internal space of the frame 210 can be opened or closed by rotating the inclined pressure part 222 for the connector body 100 to be installed or removed. Furthermore, when the inclined pressure part 222 closes the internal space of the frame 210, the positive pressure part 221 can be connected to the vertical surface 211 to fix the position of the inclined pressure part 222; conversely, the positive pressure part 221 can be separated from the vertical surface 211 to release the position of the inclined pressure part 222; thereby, the inclined pressure part 222 can be rotated to open the internal space of the frame 210.

[0034] Understandably, in this application, the positive pressure part 221 cooperates with the first horizontal surface 212 to restrict the position of the connector body 100 in the first direction, and the oblique pressure part 222 cooperates with the first horizontal surface 212 and the second horizontal surface 213 to restrict the position of the connector body 100 in the second direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction; thus, the vertical position of the opposite vertical connector is limited, and the connection stability between the connector body 100 and the housing 200 is improved.

[0035] In some embodiments, the vertical surface 211 extends along the first direction to form an extension surface 214; the extension surface 214 includes a connected inclined segment 2141 and a vertical segment 2142, the vertical segment 2142 being perpendicular to the first direction, and the inclined segment 2141 intersecting the vertical segment 2142; the positive pressure portion 221 abuts against one side of the vertical segment 2142, and the inclined pressure portion 222 abuts against one side of the inclined segment 2141; the positive pressure portion 221 and the vertical segment 2142 are detachably connected. This ensures that the cover 220 matches the side profile shape of the extension surface 214, resulting in better positioning stability of the connector body 100.

[0036] In some embodiments, the number of vertical surfaces 211 is two, and the number of extension surfaces 214 is the same as the number of vertical surfaces 211; the connector body 100 includes a connected insertion portion and a body portion; the first horizontal surface 212, the second horizontal surface 213, and the two vertical surfaces 211 enclose a first receiving cavity 215, and one end of the connector body 100 is disposed within the first receiving cavity 215; the cover 220 and the two extension surfaces 214 enclose a second receiving cavity 216, and the other end of the connector body 100 is disposed within the second receiving cavity 216. Thus, the arrangement of the first receiving cavity 215 and the second receiving cavity 216 partitions the internal space of the frame 210 to facilitate the installation of the connector body 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, the inclined section 2141 is provided with a positioning groove 2143, and the connector body 100 is provided with a positioning part 110. The positioning groove 2143 and the positioning part 110 are positioned and engaged. In this way, the engagement between the positioning groove 2143 and the positioning part 110 can effectively improve the accuracy of the installation position of the connector body 100 within the frame 210.

[0038] In some embodiments, a protrusion 2144 is provided on the outer side of the vertical section 2142, and a snap-fit ​​groove 223 is provided on the positive pressure part 221; the protrusion 2144 and the snap-fit ​​groove 223 are engaged in a snap-fit ​​connection. In this way, the detachable connection method of snap-fit ​​engagement is easy to install and remove, and effectively improves the stability of the connection between the vertical section 2142 and the positive pressure part 221.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connector body 100 has a snap-fit ​​groove; the second horizontal surface 213 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove. In this embodiment, the positive pressure portion 221 applies a force in a first direction to the connector body 100, causing the snap-fit ​​groove on the connector body 100 to snap into the second horizontal surface 213, thereby limiting the installation position of the connector body 100. Simultaneously, the inclined pressure portion 222 applies a force in a second direction to the connector body 100, this force having a component parallel to the first direction, causing the snap-fit ​​groove on the connector body 100 to snap into the second horizontal surface 213, thereby further limiting the installation position of the connector body 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, along the first direction of the frame 210 near the cover 220, the length of the first horizontal surface 212 is greater than the length of the second horizontal surface 213. Understandably, the greater length of the first horizontal surface 212 than the second horizontal surface 213 is the longer side. When the inclined pressing portion 222 applies a force in the second direction to the connector body 100, this force has a first downward component and a second component parallel to the first direction. At this time, the first component presses down on the connector body 100, allowing the connector body 100 to abut against the longer side of the first horizontal surface 212. Simultaneously, the second component causes the snap-fit ​​groove on the connector body 100 to engage with the second horizontal surface 213, thereby allowing the inclined pressing portion 222 to cooperate with the first horizontal surface 212 and the second horizontal surface 213 to restrict the position of the connector body 100 in the second direction.

[0041] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application. This application can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this application.
