Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a USB connector structure, specifically a USB connector structure that facilitates flat installation. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, when installing device connection cables inside a PC computer case or other equipment chassis, USB connectors are mounted on a ribbon cable board with pre-set mounting slots. The USB connector structure has a mounting positioning rod at its axial center and two horizontal solder feet at the end furthest from the USB metal connector. During installation, the USB connector structure is initially positioned using the positioning rod and the corresponding positioning holes on the ribbon cable board mounting slots. Then, the solder feet on the USB connector structure are soldered to the corresponding support solder points on the ribbon cable board mounting slots. However, during the actual soldering process, false soldering or floating soldering often occurs, resulting in insufficient and weak connections or uneven, warped ends. This negatively impacts the reliability, flatness, and aesthetics of the USB connector structure installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] Preferably, when there is only one positioning rod at one end of the outer casing connection portion, the positioning rod is arranged along the axial position; when there are multiple positioning rods at one end of the outer casing connection portion, the positioning rods are arranged symmetrically on both sides along the axial position.
[0006] Preferably, the outer casing connection part has two screw holes symmetrically arranged on both sides along the axial direction at the middle position of the transverse direction.
[0007] Preferably, in extremely complex usage scenarios, such as long-term vibration, the outer shell connection part is provided with several rows of screw holes symmetrically on both sides of the axial direction in the lateral position. The specific number of rows of screw holes and the number of screw holes in each row are set according to the connection firmness and reliability requirements required by the actual usage scenario.
[0008] Preferably, when the screw holes on the USB connector structure are connected to the screw holes corresponding to the mounting slots on the ribbon cable board, they can be connected in one go or adjusted or tightened twice to ensure a firm, reliable, flat and aesthetically pleasing connection.
[0009] The beneficial effects of using this utility model are: by connecting the USB connector structure with the screw holes that are pre-set on the USB connector structure and the corresponding screw holes set in the mounting slot of the ribbon cable board, the USB connector structure and the ribbon cable board can be connected by screws, ensuring that the connection is firm, reliable, flat and beautiful when they are installed.

[0016] To further illustrate this utility model, a comparative analysis is now conducted with reference to comparative examples and embodiments.
[0017] Combination Figure 1-2In the comparative example, a USB connector structure includes a metal connector 1, a shell connecting part 2, and a transmission line 3. The metal connector 1 is fixedly connected to the shell connecting part 2, and the shell connecting part 2 is integrally connected to the transmission line 3. The metal connector 1 and the transmission line 3 are connected for power and signal. The shell connecting part 2 is provided with two positioning rods 21. The positioning rods 21 are square columns. The shell connecting part 2 has two welding feet 23 on both sides along the axial direction at the horizontal bottom position, which are used to weld to the support welding points corresponding to the mounting slots of the ribbon cable board 4. In specific installation, the USB connector is first initially positioned and placed by the positioning rods 21 on the USB connector structure and the positioning holes corresponding to the mounting slots of the ribbon cable board 4. Then, the welding feet 23 on the USB connector structure are welded to the support welding points corresponding to the mounting slots of the ribbon cable board 4.
[0018] Combination Figure 3-4 In Embodiment 1, a USB connector structure that facilitates flat installation is provided. The USB connector structure is of model USB-AF3.0. Unlike the comparative example, the outer shell connecting part 2 has positioning rods 21 at both ends along the axial middle position. The positioning rod 21 at any end of the outer shell connecting part 2 can be one or more. The shape of any positioning rod 21 can be a cylinder, a square rod, or a hemispherical convex ball. The outer shell connecting part 2 has two screw holes 22 on both sides along the axial middle position in the transverse direction. These screw holes are used to securely connect with the screw holes corresponding to the mounting slots of the ribbon cable board 4 using screws.
[0019] In practice, the USB connector is first positioned and placed using the positioning rod 21 pre-set on the USB connector structure and the positioning hole corresponding to the mounting slot of the ribbon cable board 4. Then, the screw hole 21 pre-set on the USB connector structure and the screw hole corresponding to the mounting slot of the ribbon cable board 4 are connected by screws.

[0021] In specific implementation, the outer shell connecting part 2 is provided with two screw holes 22 symmetrically on both sides along the axial direction at the middle position of the transverse direction.
[0022] In practical implementation, in extremely complex usage scenarios, such as long-term vibration, the outer shell connection part 2 is provided with several rows of screw holes 22 symmetrically on both sides of the axial direction in the lateral position. The specific number of rows of screw holes and the number of screw holes in each row are set according to the connection firmness and reliability requirements required by the actual usage scenario.
