Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electrical hard connection structure between PCB boards, specifically an electrical hard connection structure between PCB boards in a microspace. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics and power industry, PCB products are trending towards high density, high power, and modular development, supported by mature technologies. Therefore, for individual PCB products, smaller size, more reasonable design and layout are required.

[0003] See Figure 1 Traditional PCB products typically include a PCB body 01, support pillars 02, substrate 03, and mounting terminals 04. Due to the high current characteristics of the main power lines, two PCB bodies 01 are usually connected by wire lugs 05 and wire harnesses. This connection method is simple, economical, and highly flexible. The wire harness can be organized and constrained by accessories such as wire clamps and wire channels to achieve a compact and aesthetically pleasing layout. However, it is quite difficult to connect the PCB power lines using wire lugs and wire harnesses in a confined space.

[0004] First, due to space constraints, wire harnesses are difficult to bend and cannot be properly restrained, resulting in messy harnesses and even wear that can lead to accidental discharge and product damage. Second, during product assembly and customer maintenance, repeated disassembly is inevitable. After repeated bending, the wire harness is prone to insulation damage, or conductor cracks or breaks, creating potential quality hazards. Furthermore, for products operating in harsh environments such as vibration and impact, reliability is particularly important. Especially when the wire lugs or the harness itself are under stress, connections are prone to loosening or damage, causing product damage or personal injury. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the technical problems of existing connection methods using wire lugs and wire harnesses, which have problems such as messy wire harnesses, easy wear and tear leading to accidental discharge and product damage; wire harnesses are prone to insulation damage or conductor cracks or breaks after repeated bending, causing quality hazards; and under stress, the connection is prone to loosening or damage, causing product damage or personal injury. The present invention provides a rigid electrical connection structure between PCB boards in a micro-space.

[0011] Furthermore, the insulating protrusion is provided with multiple positioning grooves that are adapted to the conductive strips. The multiple conductive strips are respectively set in the multiple positioning grooves and are installed and fixed to the insulating protrusion by the mounting parts.

[0012] Furthermore, both the insulating base and the insulating protrusion are cuboid structures. The width of the insulating protrusion is less than 0.4 times the width of the insulating base, and the length is greater than 0.9 times the length of the insulating base. The length direction of the insulating protrusion is consistent with the length direction of the insulating base, and the centerline of the width direction coincides with the centerline of the width direction of the insulating base. Multiple positioning grooves are arranged along the length direction of the insulating protrusion, and there is a gap between two adjacent positioning grooves. Each conductive strip is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the insulating protrusion, and its middle part is installed in the corresponding positioning groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the conductive strip is a rectangular strip, with its middle part mounted on an insulating protrusion, and a fastening hole provided at each end of its length; there are two PCB boards, which are symmetrically arranged along the length of the conductive strip.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting component is a bolt.

[0015] Furthermore, the insulating base has multiple connecting sub-holes on the side away from the insulating protrusion, and the mounting base has multiple connecting female holes, with the multiple connecting sub-holes and multiple connecting female holes corresponding one-to-one; the connecting sub-holes on the insulating base and the connecting female holes on the mounting base are connected by connectors.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting sub-hole is a threaded hole, and the connecting component is a bolt.

[0017] Furthermore, both the connecting terminals and the conductive strip are made of copper.

The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer according to the following specific embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] See Figures 2 to 6 This embodiment describes a hard electrical connection structure between PCB boards in a microspace, which mainly consists of four parts: PCB board body 1, insulating component 2, conductive strip 3, and mounting substrate 4.

[0036] The number of PCB board bodies 1 is 2N, and they are arranged in pairs; N≥1; see [link / reference] Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the number of PCB board bodies 1 is set to 2. Each of the two PCB board bodies 1 is provided with multiple mounting holes 5. Considering the size and installation stability, the number of mounting holes 5 is set to three. In addition, three connecting terminals 6 are provided on the back of the PCB board bodies 1, and the three connecting terminals 6 are arranged one-to-one with the three mounting holes 5. The connecting terminals 6 are made of copper to enhance their conductivity.

[0037] See Figure 4 The insulating component 2 includes an insulating base 21 and an insulating protrusion 22 disposed on the insulating base 21; both the insulating base 21 and the insulating protrusion 22 are cuboid structures, the width of the insulating protrusion 22 is less than 0.4 times the width of the insulating base 21, and the length is greater than 0.9 times the length of the insulating base 21; the length direction of the insulating protrusion 22 is along the length direction of the insulating base 21, and the centerline of the width direction coincides with the centerline of the width direction of the insulating base 21;

[0038] The insulating protrusion 22 is provided with three positioning grooves 9 that are adapted to the conductive strip 3. The three positioning grooves 9 are arranged along the length direction of the insulating protrusion 22, and there is a gap between two adjacent positioning grooves 9. See Figure 3 and Figure 5 The three conductive strips 3 are respectively set in the three positioning grooves 9 and are installed with the insulating protrusions 22 by the mounting parts (bolts). The positioning grooves 9 can prevent the conductive strips 3 from rotating, thereby affecting the assembly relationship.

[0039] See Figure 3 The insulating base 21 has four connecting sub-holes 10 on the side away from the insulating protrusion 22. The four connecting sub-holes 10 are respectively located at the four corners of the insulating base 21. The connecting sub-holes 10 are threaded holes. The mounting base 4 has four connecting female holes. The four connecting sub-holes 10 and the four connecting female holes are arranged one-to-one. The connecting sub-holes 10 on the insulating base 21 and the connecting female holes on the mounting base 4 are connected by connectors (bolts).

[0040] All conductive strips 3 are made of copper and are rectangular. The central portion is mounted on the insulating protrusion 22, and each end of the strip has a fastening hole 7. Two fastening holes 7 on each of the three conductive strips 3 correspond one-to-one with three mounting holes 5 on the two PCB board bodies 1. The mounting holes 5 and connecting terminals 6 on the PCB board bodies 1 are connected to the fastening holes 7 on the conductive strips 3 via conductive fasteners 8. (See attached image.) Figure 3 The conductive fastener 8 includes a connecting bolt 81 and a rivet nut 82. The rivet nut 82 is located on the side of the conductive strip 3 near the insulating part 2 and is coaxially arranged with the fastening hole 7. The connecting bolt 81 passes through the mounting hole 5, the connecting terminal 6 and the fastening hole 7 in sequence and is connected to the rivet nut 82 to realize the assembly of the PCB board body 1 and the conductive strip 3, and at the same time realize the electrical connection between the two PCB board bodies 1.
