[0032] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] This application provides an interface structure including a terminal assembly and a switch assembly. The terminal assembly is used to plug into the connected interface. The metal line in the terminal assembly includes a disconnect notch. The switch assembly controls the opening and closing of the disconnect notch, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the function corresponding to the metal line in the interface structure. That is, the switch assembly uses a mechanical adjustment method to control the function selection required by the interface structure.

[0034] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the components of the interface structure provided in the embodiments of this application, the positional relationships between the components, and the connection relationships.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the terminal assembly 10 includes a plurality of strip-shaped metal lines 11, some of which have a disconnection notch 12; the interface structure is connected to the circuit board, wherein the end of each metal line 11 is a pin, which is connected to a contact on the circuit board to realize signal conduction between the interface structure and the circuit board; by setting the disconnection notch 12 on the metal line 11, the signal is blocked; and by configuring the switch assembly 20, the disconnection and conduction of the metal line 11 can be controlled, which plays the role of a mechanical switch.

[0036] The switch assembly 20 includes a connection terminal 21 located at the disconnection notch 12 and is used to slide between a first position and a second position along the length of the metal line 11. When the connection terminal 21 is in the first position, the connection terminal 21 conducts the metal line 11. When the connection terminal 21 is in the second position, at least one end of the connection terminal 21 is not connected to the metal line 11, and the metal line 11 remains disconnected.

[0037] The interface structure is multifunctional, enabling data transmission and charging. For example, when charging in public places, to prevent data leakage or unauthorized access to electronic products, the data transmission function of the interface can be disabled, allowing only charging to proceed. Therefore, a disconnection notch 12 can be provided on the metal line 11 involved in data transmission, and the data transmission function can be controlled by the switch assembly 20 to achieve the purpose of safety protection.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown in the embodiment of this application, the connecting terminal 21 includes an end bullet piece 22, which is arched and has two connecting ends at both ends. When the connecting terminal 21 is in the first position, the two ends of the end bullet piece 22 are connected to the metal lines 11 on both sides of the disconnection notch 12, so that the metal lines 11 with the disconnection notch 12 are conductive. When the connecting terminal 21 is in the second position, one end of the end bullet piece 22 is located inside the disconnection notch 12, that is, one end of the end bullet piece 22 is in an unconnected state, and the metal lines 11 with the disconnection notch 12 remain disconnected.

[0039] The two ends of the bullet piece 22 are subjected to a certain pressure on the surface of the metal line 11 to ensure the stability of the contact between the two. For example, a folded part is provided at the end of the metal line 11, which is folded in the opposite direction away from the surface of the metal line 11. The end of the bullet piece 22 is slidable along the length of the metal line 11, which can ensure that the bullet piece 22 is always on the surface of the metal line 11.

[0040] For example, the metal line 11 includes a communication line, on which a disconnection notch 12 is provided. The switching assembly 20 can control the on / off state of the communication line, thereby realizing the switching control of the data transmission function of the interface structure.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the interface structure further includes a covering component 30, which covers the metal line 11, and the front and rear ends of the metal line 11 are exposed outside the covering component 30. The covering component 30 is a load-bearing and connection structure; for example, the covering component 30 is an encapsulated structure with a certain rigidity. The front end of the metal line 11 is used to connect with the connected structure, and the rear end of the metal line 11 is used to connect with the circuit board where the interface structure is located.

[0042] The covering component 30 includes a groove 31, a break notch 12 and metal lines 11 on both sides of the break notch 12 located at the bottom of the groove 31, and an end spring piece 22 sliding within the groove 31. For example, the length of the groove 31 can be used to define a first position and a second position. That is, when one end of the end spring piece 22 abuts against the side wall of the groove 31 on the same side, the end spring piece 22 is in the first position, and when the other end of the end spring piece 22 abuts against the side wall of the groove 31 on the same side, the end spring piece 22 is in the second position. By setting the groove 31, the end spring piece 22 can be precisely slid to the first and second positions, avoiding / reducing the situation of improper adjustment.

[0043] like Figure 3As shown in the embodiment of this application, the switch assembly 20 further includes a collar 23, which is sleeved on the covering assembly 30. The collar 23 slides on the covering assembly 30, which can drive the end spring piece 22 to slide synchronously. The collar 23 further facilitates the adjustment operation of the switch assembly 20. For example, the switch assembly 20 also includes a toggle switch 24, which is located at the top of the collar 23. By toggling the collar 23 and the end spring piece 22 between a first position and a second position, the toggle switch 24 protrudes from the surface of the interface structure. By manually toggling the toggle switch 24, the movement of the collar 23 and the end spring piece 22 can be adjusted.

[0044] The collar 23 includes a top end 231 and a bottom end 232. When the metal line 11 includes one piece, an end bullet piece 22 is provided on the side of the top end 231 or the bottom end 232 facing the slide groove 31. When the metal line 11 includes two pieces arranged vertically, an end bullet piece 22 is provided on the side of the top end 231 and the bottom end 232 facing the slide groove 31.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the interface structure further includes a cover assembly 40, which covers the collar 23, and the knob 24 is located outside the cover assembly 40; the collar 23 moves between a first position and a second position within the cover assembly 40.

[0046] The cover assembly 40 is located on the outside of the collar 23 and serves to limit and protect the switch assembly 20. For example, the cover assembly 30 has an annular protrusion 32 on one side of the slide groove 31, and the end of the cover assembly 40 abuts against the side wall of the annular protrusion 32; for example, the end of the cover assembly 40 is engaged with the annular protrusion 32.

[0047] The cover assembly 40 includes a sliding opening 41. The knob 24 passes through the sliding opening 41 and extends out of the cover assembly 40, and is located inside the sliding opening 41 to drive the collar 23 and the end bullet piece 22 to move. After the cover assembly 40 is assembled with the annular protrusion 32, multiple structural components form an integral structure.

[0048] This application provides a motherboard including the aforementioned interface structure. This application also provides an electronic product including the aforementioned interface structure or the aforementioned motherboard. Contacts are provided on the motherboard, and one end of the metal line 11 is connected to the contacts, thereby enabling communication between the interface structure and the motherboard.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, when the switch assembly 20 is in the first position, the metal line 11 is conductive, as... Figure 7 As shown, when the switch assembly 20 is in the second position, the metal line 11 is disconnected.

[0050] For example, the conduction or disconnection of the metal line 11 is used to turn on or off the data transmission function. Taking the charging of electronic products in public places as an example, in order to provide safety for the use of electronic products, when only charging is required, the switch assembly 20 needs to be moved to the second position to disconnect the metal line 11 used for data transmission; when data transmission is required, the switch assembly 20 is moved to the first position.

[0051] This application provides an interface structure, motherboard, and electronic product. A switch assembly 20 is provided on the terminal assembly 10 of the interface. By toggling the connection terminal 21 of the switch assembly 20, the on / off state of some metal lines 11 of the terminal assembly 10 can be controlled. When the metal line 11 is conductive, the corresponding function of the metal line 11 can be realized; conversely, when the metal line 11 is disconnected, the corresponding function cannot be realized. For example, the on / off state of the metal line 11 can control the switching of data transmission functions. This technical solution, through a mechanical structure, can achieve partial isolation of the on / off state of the metal lines 11, reducing the usage risk and cost of the interface structure and improving its reliability and user trust.
