Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication connection technology, and in particular to connector assemblies and electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, also known as plugs or sockets, are devices used in electronic engineering to bridge two active devices. They transmit current, signals, or optical signals through contact between male (plug) and female (socket) terminals. In existing technologies, connectors are typically mounted on a mounting base to form a connector assembly. The mounting base connects to external device housings, ensuring connector mating stability and safety. However, current connectors and mounting bases are usually soldered together, resulting in a connector assembly with only one type of connector interface. This leads to poor connector versatility. Furthermore, the mounting base is only bolted to the housing, resulting in poor overall installation stability and affecting connector mating, ultimately leading to poor connector assembly performance.

[0003] Therefore, a connector assembly and electronic device are needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0040] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a connector assembly, which includes a connector base 10, a connector body 20, and a limiting plate 30. The connector base 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11 and an opening 12 communicating with the groove wall of the receiving groove 11. The connector body 20 is detachably disposed in the receiving groove 11, and the interface of the connector body 20 faces the opening 12. The limiting plate 30 is connected to the connector base 10 and is located on the side of the connector body 20 away from the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The outer housing is configured to be sandwiched between the limiting plate 30 and the connector base 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector body 20 is accommodated in the receiving groove 11 of the connector base 10, and the limiting plate 30 is located on the side of the connector body 20 away from the bottom of the receiving groove 11. Both the connector body 20 and the limiting plate 30 are connected to the connector base 10. The receiving groove 11 and the limiting plate 30 are configured to improve the installation stability of the connector body 20. Furthermore, when the connector assembly is connected to the outer housing, the outer housing can be sandwiched between the connector base 10 and the limiting plate 30, thereby improving the connection stability between the connector assembly and the housing. This ensures that the connector body 20 has good insertion and removal performance and extends its service life.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the connector body 20 is provided with a first connection hole 221, and the connector base 10 is provided with a second connection hole 161. The first connector 222 is detachably inserted into the first connection hole 221 and the second connection hole 161 to connect the connector body 20 and the connector base 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, as... Figure 6 As shown, the connector body 20 includes a connecting part 21 and a PCB board 22. A first connecting hole 221 is formed on the PCB board 22 and is a through hole. A second connecting hole 161 is a threaded hole. A first connecting piece 222 is a first screw. The first screw passes through the first connecting hole 221 and is threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 161 to connect the connector body 20 to the connector seat 10. This arrangement makes the connector body 20 and the connector seat 10 easy to assemble and disassemble, and allows different connector bodies 20 to be adapted to the connector seat 10, thereby improving the universality of the connector assembly for different housings and reducing costs when adapting to different housings.

[0042] Alternatively, in another embodiment, both the first connecting hole 221 and the second connecting hole 161 are threaded holes, which can also connect the connector body 20 to the connector seat 10 by bolts, which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first connecting hole 221 can be configured as a threaded hole, the second connecting hole 161 as a through hole, and the first connecting member 222 as a bolt. The bolt passes through the second connecting hole 161 and is threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 221. No limitation is imposed here.

[0044] Optionally, in other embodiments, the first connector 222 can also be a common rivet or fastening pin. When the first connector 222 is a rivet or fastening pin, the first connecting hole 221 and the second connecting hole 161 are both set as through holes, which is not limited here.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 10 includes a connecting plate 13, a base plate 14, and a side plate 15. The connecting plate 13 and the side plate 15 form a receiving groove 11 on the base plate 14, and an opening 12 is formed in the connecting plate 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, the receiving groove 11 formed by the connecting plate 13 and the side plate 15 on the base plate 14 can protect the connector body 20 housed therein, thereby avoiding impacts to the connector body 20 and extending its service life. After being installed in the external housing, the connecting plate 13 can abut against the external housing, thereby improving the connection stability of the connector assembly, which in turn helps to improve the insertion and removal performance and convenience of the connector assembly, avoids inconvenience caused by the shaking of the connector body 20, and improves the user experience.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 10 also includes a post 16, which protrudes from the base plate 14 and is connected to the side plate 15. The post 16 protrudes relative to the opening of the receiving groove 11. A second connecting hole 161 is provided at the top of the post 16. A first connecting hole 221 is provided on the connector body 20. A first connector 222 is detachably inserted into the first connecting hole 221 and the second connecting hole 161 to connect the connector body 20 and the connector 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the post 16 provided on the connector 10 can provide support for the side plate 15, thereby reducing the deformation of the side plate 15. Furthermore, the post 16 can increase the strength of the second connecting hole 161, thereby improving the connection stability between the connector 10 and the connector body 20.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the PCB board 22 has two first connection holes 221, and two posts 16 are provided. Each post 16 has a second connection hole 161 at its top. The two first connection holes 221 and the two second connection holes 161 are connected one-to-one for detachably inserting two first connectors 222. This arrangement improves the stress balance of the PCB board 22, thereby enhancing its installation stability and ensuring the stable installation of the connector assembly. Furthermore, the posts 16 protrude from the slots of the receiving grooves 11, allowing the PCB board 22 to be lifted, preventing the side plate 15 from bumping into the electrical components on the PCB board 22 and ensuring safety during use.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the connector 10 has a clearance groove 17 extending from the bottom of the receiving groove 11 to the opening 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the opening 12 facilitates the connection of an external plug into the receiving groove 11 and the connector body 20, thereby ensuring the normal transmission of current, electrical signals, or optical signals. The clearance groove 17 improves the convenience of plug installation and removal, and enhances the performance.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the connector 10 is provided with a third connecting hole 131, and the limiting plate 30 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 31. The second connector 132 is detachably inserted into the third connecting hole 131 and the fourth connecting hole 31 to connect the connector 10 and the limiting plate 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third connecting hole 131 is a through hole, the fourth connecting hole 31 is a threaded hole, and the second connector 132 is a second screw. The second screw passes through the third connecting hole 131 and is threadedly connected to the fourth connecting hole 31, thereby connecting the connector 10 and the limiting plate 30. This arrangement allows the connector 10 and the limiting plate 30 to clamp the outer housing, thereby improving the installation stability of the connector assembly.

[0050] Optionally, in other embodiments, the second connector 132 may also be a rivet. When the second connector 132 is a rivet, the third connecting hole 131 and the fourth connecting hole 31 are both set as through holes, which is not limited here.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 8As shown, at least two third connection holes 131 are provided, and each third connection hole 131 is equipped with a fourth connection hole 31. Third connection holes 131 are provided on both sides of the connector body 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, third connection holes 131 are provided on both sides of the connector body 20, and a fourth connection hole 31 corresponding to and communicating with each third connection hole 131 is also provided on the limiting plate 30. This ensures good stability when the connector seat 10 and the limiting plate 30 are connected, improves the force balance of the limiting plate 30, and provides a limiting effect on the connector body 20.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the limiting plate 30 is also provided with a fifth connecting hole 32, the axis of which is perpendicular to the axis of the fourth connecting hole 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting plate 30 is provided with a boss, and the fifth connecting hole 32 is provided on the boss, so that the axis of the fifth connecting hole 32 is perpendicular to the axis of the fourth connecting hole 31. This allows the limiting plate 30 to also connect with the external housing, further improving the stability of the connection between the connector assembly and the external housing and enhancing its performance.

[0053] Optionally, in this embodiment, the limiting plate 30 is also provided with a process hole 33 to facilitate the removal of glue from the limiting plate 30, and the limiting plate 30 is also provided with an avoidance cut 34 to avoid the structure on the outer casing and avoid interference.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the connector 10 is also provided with a positioning post 18. Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning post 18 is provided on the end face of the connector plate 13 near the limiting plate 30. The positioning post 18 is used to position the connector 10 and the external housing, thereby improving the convenience of the installation process and improving the connection accuracy of the connector assembly.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning post 18 is provided with a positioning hole, and the outer housing is provided with a positioning pin. The positioning pin and the positioning hole are inserted and matched to improve the stability accuracy between the connecting seat 10 and the outer housing and improve the ease of installation.

[0056] This embodiment also provides an electronic device, which includes a housing and the aforementioned connector assembly. The housing has a mounting hole, and a connector 10 passes through the mounting hole. The housing is sandwiched between the connector 10 and the limiting plate 30. By incorporating the aforementioned connector assembly, this electronic device improves its ease of use and ensures the installation stability of the connector assembly, thereby extending the lifespan of the electronic device.
