Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical connectors, and more particularly to a USB socket. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent Application No. 202411024158.2 discloses a waterproof USB socket, comprising conductive terminals arranged in two rows, a shielding plate disposed between two pairs of conductive terminals, a pair of shielding sheets respectively connected to the grounding terminals of the two rows of conductive terminals, and an insulating body that holds the conductive terminals, shielding plate, and shielding sheets together. The insulating body includes a base, a wrapping portion extending forward from the base, a mating tongue extending forward from the wrapping portion, and a tail extending backward from the base. The conductive terminals include... The shielding sheet includes an exposed contact portion on the outer surface of the mating tongue, a wrapped portion extending backward from the contact portion and enclosing the insulating body, and a weld foot extending backward from the wrapped portion out of the insulating body. The shielding sheet includes an overlapping portion and a spot welded portion formed by bending inward from the rear end of the overlapping portion laterally outward and then extending horizontally. A bending portion is formed between the overlapping portion and the spot welded portion. The spot welded portion is spot welded to the outer surface of the wrapped portion of the grounding terminal and electrically conductive. The overlapping portion is exposed on the outer surface of the wrapped portion to contact and conduct with the corresponding component of the plug to achieve grounding.

[0003] The aforementioned products require a separate shielding sheet and involve an additional spot welding process. Furthermore, the increased number of parts to be molded adds complexity to the injection molding process and can easily lead to quality issues.

[0004] Furthermore, the conductive terminals of existing USB sockets are generally injection molded after being connected at both ends by material strips. This means that the front end face of the conductive terminal cannot be electroplated before injection molding. After injection molding, the front end face of the conductive terminal is cut off and then embedded into the insulating body. However, the mating tongue is exposed. If sweat seeps into the insulating body, it will cause corrosion of the front end face of the conductive terminal, which may cause a fire risk if charging is required. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a USB socket that forms a shielded circuit by directly contacting the plug.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a USB socket, including a metal shell and a connector inserted into the metal shell. The metal shell includes a ring and a through hole that passes through the ring from front to back. The connector includes a first terminal group and a second terminal group arranged in two rows in the vertical direction, a middle plate placed between the first terminal group and the second terminal group, and an insulating body that holds the first terminal group, the second terminal group, and the middle plate together. The insulating body includes a base, a mating tongue extending forward from the base, a tail located behind the base, and a partition located between the base and the tail. The base includes an extended rear section that adheres to the inner wall surface of the annular base and an extended front section that extends forward from the front of the annular base. The upper and lower sides of the front end surface of the ring have a pair of overlapping portions that adhere to the surface of the extended front section.

[0007] Preferably, the front end face of the overlapping portion is inclined to form a guide slope.

[0008] Preferably, the ring body includes an annular base and an outwardly folded-out portion formed from the rear end of the annular base. A pair of overlapping portions are formed by extending forward from the upper and lower sides of the front end of the annular base, respectively. The pair of overlapping portions are not connected and closed laterally on the outer sides. The through hole has an increased inner diameter width and an inclined surface at the position of the outwardly folded-out portion.

[0009] Preferably, the metal casing further includes a cover plate and an extension arm extending rearward from the top of the rear end of the ring body and the lateral side, respectively, and a receiving cavity formed by the cover plate and the extension arm. An annular groove for receiving a sealing ring is recessed on the front end face of the outward-turning baffle.

[0010] Preferably, the extension arm and the cover plate are integral structures. Each pair of extension arms includes an insertion groove open at the rear end and a support step formed at the front end of the insertion groove. A welding protrusion is formed on the bottom surface of the extension arm, and a limiting groove structure is provided on the rear end surface of the extension arm and the cover plate.

[0011] Preferably, the tail portion is housed within the receiving cavity, and positioning protrusions are formed on both lateral ends of the tail portion. The front end of the positioning protrusion forms a front positioning part, and the rear end of the positioning protrusion forms a rear positioning part. The rear positioning part extends rearward beyond the rear end edge of the tail portion. The positioning protrusion is inserted into the insertion groove of the extension arm, and the front positioning part is fixed to the abutment step at the front end of the insertion groove.

[0012] Preferably, the USB socket further includes a rear fixing plate, and the extension arm and the rear end face of the cover plate are provided with a limiting groove structure. The rear fixing plate is limited on the limiting groove structure and spot-welded to the metal shell. The rear positioning part of the positioning protrusion is fixed by the rear fixing plate.

[0013] Preferably, the partition is surrounded by the annular base and the inclined surface and sealed with adhesive to form a waterproof sealant. The waterproof sealant bonds the first terminal group, the second terminal group and a portion of the middle plate and is bonded to a portion of the inner wall surface of the annular base and the inclined surface.

[0014] Preferably, the metal housing further includes an ear extending outward from the outer side of the ring and the extension arm, the ear having a fixing hole, and the metal housing being fixed to a printed circuit board or other object through the ear and the fixing hole.

[0015] Preferably, the first terminal group and the second terminal group each include a contact portion exposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the mating tongue, a retaining portion extending rearward from the contact portion and embedded in the base and tail portion and connecting the base and tail portion, and a welding leg formed by bending from the retaining portion.

[0016] The USB socket of this application forms an overlapping portion that overlaps with the base surface of the insulating body by extending forward from the front end of the ring of the metal shell. The overlapping portion makes electrical contact with the plug to achieve a shielding path, which avoids the problems of complex process and high manufacturing cost caused by the need to embed a shielding sheet separately in the insulating body and weld it to the metal shell in the prior art.

[0042] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 5 As shown, the insulating body 50 includes a base 51, a mating tongue 52 extending forward from the base 51, a tail 53 located behind the base 51, and a partition 54 separating the base 51 and the tail 53. The base 51 includes a rearwardly extending rear section 511 and a frontwardly extending front section 512. The rearwardly extending rear section 511 protrudes laterally outward to form a protruding fitting portion 513. The tail 53 is connected to the base 51 only through the first terminal group 30, the second terminal group 20, and the middle plate 40 to form the partition 54. The tail 53 has positioning protrusions 531 extending laterally at both ends in the front-rear direction.

[0044] Key references Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the connector A of this application is inserted into the through hole 111 of the metal housing 10 from back to front. At this time, the extended rear section 511 of the base 51 is attached to the inner surface of the annular base 113 of the ring body 11, including the protruding fitting portion 513 attached to the arc-shaped inner surface on both sides of the annular base 113.

The sealing ring 17 and the waterproof adhesive 60 at least partially overlap in cross-section.

[0046] In this application, the metal casing 10 and the USB socket extend forward from the front end of the ring body 11 to form an overlapping portion 12 that overlaps the surface of the base 51 of the insulating body 50. The overlapping portion 12 makes electrical contact with the docking plug to achieve a shielding path, avoiding the problems of complex processes and high manufacturing costs caused by the need to embed a shielding sheet separately in the insulating body 50 and weld it to the metal casing 10 for conduction in the prior art.

[0047] The manufacturing method of the USB socket in this application will be implemented through... Figures 8 to 14 The manufacturing method of the USB socket in this application includes the following steps:

[0048] S10: Provide a middle plate 40 with a middle plate strip 44 connected to it, and injection mold a first insulator 45 on the middle plate 40.

[0049] The middle plate strip 44 is connected to the middle plate 40 at two positions on the lateral outer side of the middle plate 40 to maintain the balance of the middle plate 40; the first insulator 45 combines a pair of middle plates 40 together, the first insulator 45 includes a front end 451 and a rear end 452, the upper and lower surfaces of the front end 451 are formed with a plurality of supporting bosses 453, the upper and lower surfaces of the rear end 452 are respectively formed with a plurality of limiting grooves 454, the supporting bosses 453 correspond to the limiting grooves 454, the supporting bosses 453 are used to support the contact portion 21 of the first terminal group 30 and the second terminal group 20, the limiting grooves 454 are used for the holding portion 22 of the first terminal group 30 and the second terminal group 20 to be locked and limited, the function of the supporting bosses 453 and the limiting grooves 454 is to prevent the first terminal group 30 and the second terminal group 20 from being positioned during injection molding and to prevent the conductive terminals from shifting. A flow hole 455 is also provided between the front end 451 and the rear end 452 of the first insulator 45 to facilitate the flow of plastic in subsequent processes.

[0050] S20, the first terminal group 30 connected with the first terminal strip 31 and the second terminal group 20 connected with the second terminal strip 24 are respectively fixed to the lower surface and the upper surface of the first insulator 45 to injection mold the insulating body 50 and obtain the plug A. After molding, the first terminal strip 31 and the middle plate strip 44 are cut off.

[0051] This step includes two implementation methods. One method is to simultaneously fix the first terminal group 30 and the second terminal group 20 to both sides of the insulating body 50 and then injection mold the insulating body.

[0052] Another implementation includes the following two sub-steps:

[0053] S201. Fix the first terminal group 30 with the first terminal strip 31 to the lower and upper surfaces of the first insulator 45 and injection mold the second insulator 32. After molding, cut off the first terminal strip 31.

[0054] In this step, the contact portion 21 of each conductive terminal of the first terminal group 30 is supported on the support boss 453, and the retaining portion 22 is clamped in the limiting groove 454 to keep the conductive terminal of the first terminal group 30 in a predetermined position under the impact of molten plastic.

[0055] The first terminal strip 31 is connected to the solder foot 23 at the rear end of the first terminal group 30. The first terminal strip 31 is attached and fixed together with the middle plate strip 44. The front end of the contact portion 21 of the first terminal group 30 is not connected to the first terminal strip 31, so that the front end of the contact portion 21 of the first terminal group 30 can be electroplated during electroplating and will not be unable to be electroplated due to the connection of the strip.

[0056] The second insulator 32 is fixed together with the extension 42 of the middle plate 40 at the rear end of the retaining part 22, and an auxiliary limiting groove 321 is provided on the upper surface of the second insulator 32.

[0057] S202. Fix the second terminal group 20 with the second terminal strip 24 connected to it to the upper side of the insulating body 50 and the first insulator 45, and perform injection molding of the insulating body 50. After molding, cut off the middle plate strip 44.

[0058] In this step, the contact portion 21 of each conductive terminal of the second terminal group 20 is supported on the support boss 453, and the retaining portion 22 is clamped in the limiting groove 454 and the auxiliary limiting groove 321 to keep the conductive terminal of the second terminal group 20 in a predetermined position under the impact of molten plastic.

[0059] The second terminal strip 24 is connected to the solder foot 23 at the rear end of the second terminal group 20. The second terminal strip 24 is attached and fixed together with the middle plate strip 44. The front end of the contact portion 21 of the second terminal group 20 is not connected to the second terminal strip 24, so that the front end of the contact portion 21 of the second terminal group 20 can be electroplated during electroplating and will not be unable to be electroplated due to the connection of the strip.

[0060] Finally, the middle plate strip 44 surrounding the outer periphery of the connector A is cut off, and the first terminal strip 24 of the first terminal group 20 is retained. The first terminal strip 24 is located only behind the solder foot 23.

[0061] S30. Provide the metal housing 10, insert the connector A into the metal housing 10 from back to front, provide a rear fixing plate 70, and weld the rear fixing plate 70 to the rear end face of the metal housing 10 to restrict the connector A from exiting.

[0062] S40. Glue is injected into the partition portion 54 of the insulating body 50 surrounding the ring body 11 of the metal shell 10 to form waterproof glue 60, and the first terminal strip 24 is cut off to obtain the finished product.

[0063] The manufacturing method of the USB socket in this application connects the first terminal strip 31 and the second terminal strip 24 only to the solder feet 23 at the rear end of the first terminal group 30 and the second terminal group 20, so that the front end surfaces of the first terminal group 30 and the second terminal group 20 can be electroplated and wrapped, reducing the risk of electrochemical corrosion and fire caused by exposure of the front end surfaces of conductive terminals.

[0064] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
