Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data reading technology, and in particular to an upright reading structure and fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Different models and specifications of electronic components require different fixtures for data reading. For example, different models and specifications of SPI ROMs have different sizes, such as SOIC8, SOP8, and WSON8. If separate programming fixtures are used for each model, the fixtures will not be universal, which will result in waste of materials and increased development manpower and costs.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the current solution is to install replaceable heads on the fixture, with different heads compatible with various electronic components. To improve the accuracy and stability of data reading from the fixture, magnetic or metal clips are attached to the motherboard. During use, the fixture is magnetically attracted to the magnetic clips or snapped into the metal clips to achieve the fixture's positioning.

[0004] However, in the above structure, the magnetic attraction method still has the problem of unstable connection, and friction will occur between the metal clip and the plastic material of the fixture. Over time, wear will occur, which will also lead to inaccurate connection and positioning. In addition, both the magnetic iron plate and the metal clip occupy a certain area of ​​the motherboard and increase the manufacturing cost of the motherboard. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] This utility model provides an upright reading structure and fixture, including a support body, a circuit assembly, and a counterweight assembly. The support body and the circuit assembly work together to complete data reading in an upright state. In the upright state, the counterweight assembly applies a downward force to the support body, which facilitates a stable connection between the circuit assembly and the connected contacts, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary structures.

[0031] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the components, positional relationships, and connection relationships of an upright reading structure and fixture provided in an embodiment of this utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the support body 10 has a set height, and the bottom of the support body 10 includes a contact end 11 for connecting with electronic components. The circuit assembly 20 and the counterweight assembly 30 are respectively disposed on the support body 10.

[0033] When in use, the support body 10 is in an upright state, with the contact end 11 facing the electronic component and attached to the motherboard where the electronic component is located; the circuit assembly 20 includes a connecting pin 21, the end of which protrudes from the surface where the contact end 11 is located. When the upright reading structure is used, the connecting pin 21 abuts against the contact point of the electronic component, thereby realizing the conduction between the upright reading structure and the electronic component.

[0034] For example, the connecting pin 21 includes a spring pin, which has a certain elastic stroke in the axial direction. When the spring pin contacts the contact of the electronic component, the spring force of the spring pin is used to keep the spring pin and the contact in a good plugging state.

[0035] For example, circuit assembly 20 also includes wires 22 and connectors 23. One end of the wire 22 is connected to the connecting pin 21, and the other end is connected to the connector 23. For example, circuit assembly 20 includes multiple sets of wires 22, which can be connected to the same connector 23 or to multiple different connectors 23. For example, a placement groove for circuit assembly 20 is provided on the outer wall of the support body 10. The circuit assembly 20 is placed in the placement groove and is snapped in place by a fixing structure, or it can be snapped in place by other means, such as the circuit assembly 20 being snapped onto the surface of the support body 10 by a fixing structure.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, the specific method of fixing the structure is not limited, such as using buckles or binding wires.

[0037] For example, connector 23 is used to connect electronic devices, such as programmers. For instance, the electronic device includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) with a plug at one end that mates with connector 23, connecting to connector 23 of circuit assembly 20 via the plug. For example, the flexible printed circuit board may be configured to have a certain length, allowing the upright reading structure and electronic device to move within a certain range when connected.

[0038] For example, circuit assembly 20 includes two sets of wires 22, each set of wires 22 including multiple wire bundles, each wire bundle being connected to a connecting pin 21. The number of wires 22 and connecting pins 21 is determined according to the number of contacts of the connected electronic components. For example, two sets of guides are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the support body 10.

[0039] For example, the connecting pin 21 is perpendicular to the surface of the contact end 11, and the arrangement of the connecting pin 21 is determined according to the contacts of the electronic components.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the counterweight component 30 has a set mass and is used to increase the weight of the support body 10. When in use, the support body 10 is in an upright state. After the counterweight component 30 is placed on the support body 10, it increases the weight of the support body 10. After the weight of the support body 10 increases, the stability of the connection between the contact end 11 and the connected contact point can be increased.

[0041] For example, the counterweight assembly 30 includes a counterweight block 31; the vertical projection of the counterweight block 31 toward the contact end 11 is located within the cross-sectional area of ​​the contact end 11. The center of gravity of the counterweight block 31 acts on the contact end 11, ensuring a stable upright state when the support body 10 is in an upright state.

[0042] For example, the counterweight 31 is located near the top of the support body 10; the counterweight 31 may be additionally located on the surface of the support body 10, or, for example, the support body 10 includes a receiving cavity 12, and the counterweight 31 is filled in the receiving cavity 12.

[0043] For example, the counterweight 31 is disposed at the top of the support body 10, and a groove is provided at the top of the support body 10, with the counterweight 31 positioned within the groove; or, for example, the support body 10 includes a cover, which, when opened, allows the opening of the receiving cavity 12. For example, the counterweight 31 is replaceable, and different weights of counterweight 31 can be used to meet different usage scenarios.

[0044] In this embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the counterweight 31 is not limited; for example, its shape can be a cuboid. In this embodiment of the present invention, the material of the counterweight 31 is not limited; for example, the counterweight 31 can be lead or iron.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the contact end 11 includes a limiting component 13; the limiting component 13 protrudes from the surface where the contact end 11 is located, and the limiting component 13 is used to abut against the edge of the electronic component.

[0046] The limiting component 13 has a mating relationship with the electronic component to limit the bracket body 10 in the correct connection position. Specifically, the shape of the limiting component 13 is set according to the shape of the connected electronic product so that the limiting component 13 abuts against the outline of the electronic component.

[0047] For example, the limiting component 13 includes a limiting baffle 131, which forms a limiting groove 132 with the contact end 11. The limiting groove 132 is used to cover the electronic component. When the contact end 11 is attached to the electronic component, the limiting baffle 131 is attached to the edge of the electronic component, thereby limiting the distance between the support body 10 and the electronic component.

[0048] For example, the limiting baffle 131 can be arranged in a ring shape, forming a limiting groove 132 with the same outline shape as the electronic component, and the limiting groove 132 can cover the electronic component. Alternatively, as shown in the figure, the limiting baffle 131 includes two pieces, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. When the bracket body 10 and the electronic component are connected, the two limiting baffles 131 are engaged and limited on both sides of the electronic component.

[0049] For example, the limiting baffle 131 includes multiple stepped levels, and each level can form a limiting groove 132 of a specific size. As shown in the figure, the limiting baffle 131 has a two-step structure. The inner walls of the two limiting baffles 131 form a limiting dimension to accommodate relatively small electronic components, and another limiting dimension is formed at the end of the limiting baffle 131 to accommodate relatively large electronic components. By setting multiple stepped levels, the versatility of the limiting component 13 can be improved.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown in the present invention, in order to further improve the versatility of the upright reading structure, the contact end 11 is set as a replaceable structure. By replacing different contact ends 11, electronic components of different sizes or shapes can be adapted.

[0051] For example, the support body 10 includes a main body 14 and a replacement part 15; the main body 14 and the replacement part 15 are detachably connected, and a contact end 11 is provided on the replacement part 15. For example, a counterweight assembly 30 is provided on the main body 14, and the contact end 11 on the replacement part 15 can be adapted to one or more types of electronic components. When the compatibility range is exceeded, the replacement part 15 is separated from the main body 14, and a new replacement part 15 is replaced, which can be adapted to the current electronic components.

[0052] The connecting pin 21 is disposed on the bracket body 10. A through hole can be provided at the connecting end of the replacement part 15. When the replacement part 15 is connected to the main body 14, the replacement part 15 moves towards the main body 14 from the connecting end. During the movement, the connecting pin 21 located on the main body 14 passes through the through hole of the replacement part 15. After the replacement part 15 is connected in place, the contact end 11 of the connecting pin 21 protrudes from the surface. Similarly, when it is necessary to disassemble and replace the replacement part 15, the replacement part 15 and the main body 14 are pulled apart along the setting direction of the connecting pin 21 until the connecting pin 21 is pulled out from the through hole of the replacement part 15.

[0053] For example, the main body 14 and the replacement part 15 are detachably connected by a magnetic structure 16. For example, the magnetic structure 16 is a magnet, and a magnet can be provided on the connection side of either the main body 14 or the replacement part 15, with a metal structure provided on the corresponding structure. The detachable connection is achieved by utilizing the attraction between the magnet and the metal structure. Alternatively, for example, magnet structures can be provided on both the main body 14 and the replacement part 15, and the magnetic poles on opposite sides of the two magnet structures are opposite. The main body 14 and the replacement part 15 are detachably connected by the two magnet structures. According to the characteristics of the magnets, when the two magnet structures are connected, they have a "centering" effect, which is beneficial for the main body 14 or the replacement part 15 to be connected to each other at the correct angle.

[0054] For example, an auxiliary locking structure is also included between the main body 14 and the replacement part 15. When the main body 14 and the replacement part 15 are in a connected state, the locking structure can further ensure the connection between the main body 14 and the replacement part 15. When the replacement part 15 is installed with the main body 14, the two are quickly connected by a magnet structure and then the locking structure is used for auxiliary connection. When disassembling, the action sequence is reversed, that is, the locking structure is disassembled first and then the replacement part 15 is separated from the main body 14.

[0055] For example, the locking structure is a pin, and slots are provided on the main body 14 and the replacement part 15. When the main body 14 and the replacement part 15 are connected, the pin is inserted into the slot to further limit the position of the main body 14 and the replacement part 15 and achieve a stable connection.

[0056] For example, a dovetail groove is provided on the main body 14 and a wedge groove is provided on the replacement part 15. When the main body 14 and the replacement part 15 are connected, the dovetail groove and the wedge groove are joined to form an irregular groove structure. The shape of the corresponding pin is adapted to the groove structure and can be inserted or pulled out from the groove structure.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the upright reading structure also includes a positioning component 17; the positioning component 17 is disposed on the support body 10, and the positioning component 17 is used to fix the position of the motherboard to which the electronic component is connected.

[0058] A positioning structure, such as a positioning hole, is pre-set on the motherboard to which the electronic component is connected. The positioning structure is located at the edge of the electronic component. When the contact end 11 of the bracket body 10 is connected to the electronic component, the positioning component 17 can be connected to the positioning structure to achieve fast and accurate docking of the bracket body 10.

[0059] For example, the positioning assembly 17 includes a positioning post 171; one end of the positioning post 171 protrudes from the surface of the contact end 11 and is used to fix it to a predetermined position on the motherboard to which the electronic component is connected. During positioning, the end of the positioning post 171 is inserted into the positioning hole to achieve approximate positioning between the bracket body 10 and the motherboard to which the electronic component is connected. Then, the position of the bracket body 10 can be finely adjusted relative to the motherboard. For example, the color of the positioning post 171 can be set to a visually obvious color, such as blue, so that the user can clearly distinguish the positioning post 171 from the connecting pin 21.

[0060] For example, the number of positioning posts 171 can be one or more.

[0061] This utility model provides a fixture, including the above-mentioned upright reading structure and electronic device, wherein the upright reading structure and electronic device are connected, and data transmission can be performed between the upright reading structure and electronic device.

[0062] The burning fixture is an electronic device. The device is connected to the upright reading structure via a flexible circuit board. Specifically, a plug is set on the flexible circuit board. The upright reading structure includes a connector 23. The plug and connector 23 are inserted into each other.

[0063] This utility model provides a vertical reading structure and fixture. When the vertical reading structure reads data, it connects to the contacts of electronic components via the connecting pins 21 of the circuit component 20, achieving conductivity between the vertical reading structure and the electronic components. Simultaneously, under the influence of this conductive connection, a counterweight component 30 is mounted on the support body 10. The counterweight component 30 increases the weight of the support body 10, applying a downward force to the support body 10, thereby facilitating a stable connection between the connecting pins 21 and the contacts of the electronic components. With this utility model, the support body 10, under the action of the counterweight component 30, can achieve a stable connection with the contacts of the electronic components, eliminating the need for auxiliary structures such as magnetic plates or metal clips. This reduces the number of structural components on the motherboard, optimizes the motherboard manufacturing process, reduces production costs, and effectively frees up space occupied by auxiliary structures on the motherboard.
