Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and more particularly to a Type-C female connector and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic devices with Type-C interfaces are being used more and more widely in various fields. In the application of these electronic devices, the requirements for the sealing performance of the Type-C interface are becoming increasingly stringent. However, the existing Type-C interfaces have relatively weak sealing performance, making it difficult to adequately meet these requirements. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to provide a Type-C female connector and electronic device, which aims to enhance the sealing performance of the Type-C interface.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application proposes a Type-C female connector, including a connecting portion, a plastic shell, fasteners, and a sealing ring. Specifically, the connecting portion includes a plastic component, which comprises a first part, a protrusion, and a second part. Along a first direction, the protrusion connects to the first part and the second part. Along a second direction, the first part includes a first side surface and a second side surface disposed opposite to each other. The protrusion includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the first protrusion protruding from the first side surface and the second protrusion protruding from the second side surface. The plastic shell is fitted onto the connecting portion, and the plastic shell includes a surrounding portion surrounding the protrusion, the surrounding portion including a first surrounding portion disposed on the first protrusion and a second surrounding portion disposed on the second protrusion. The protrusion includes a first pressing surface facing the first part and a second pressing surface facing away from the first part, and the fastener is disposed on the first pressing surface and surrounding the connecting portion. The fastener includes a first rivet and a second rivet positioned opposite each other. The first rivet protrudes from a first side, and the second rivet protrudes from a second side. The first rivet presses against a second pressing surface, causing a first circumferential portion to press between the first protrusion and the first rivet. The second rivet presses against the second pressing surface, causing a second circumferential portion to press between the second protrusion and the second rivet. A sealing ring is fitted onto a plastic shell. The first direction is the direction from the first portion to the second portion, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0005] In the above solution, the plastic part has a protrusion, and the plastic shell is fitted onto the plastic part and contacts the protrusion. The protrusion provides a limiting function for the Type-C connector, and the contact between the protrusion and the plastic shell creates interference, blocking the flow of water and other penetrating liquids. Fasteners are located on the first pressing surface and surround the connecting part, and are provided with a first rivet and a second rivet. The first rivet presses the first surrounding part between the first protrusion and the first rivet, and the second rivet presses the second surrounding part between the second protrusion and the second rivet. The first and second surrounding parts are subjected to pressure, increasing the interference with the protrusion, which reduces the gap between the plastic shell and the plastic part, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector. A sealing ring is fitted onto the plastic shell, and the sealing ring contacts the housing of the electronic device, creating interference and blocking the flow of water and other penetrating liquids, reducing the possibility of water seeping into the electronic device from between the housing and the Type-C female connector. The sealing ring is made of a soft material such as silicone. When it fits with the housing, it deforms and exerts pressure on the housing, increasing the interference between the sealing ring and the housing, which can enhance the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector.

[0006] In some embodiments, a first mounting groove is formed at the end of the plastic shell away from the protrusion. The sealing ring is disposed in the first mounting groove, protruding from the first mounting groove. The length of the portion of the sealing ring protruding from the first mounting groove is 10% to 30% of the radius of the sealing ring. Providing the first mounting groove and placing the sealing ring there improves the stability of the sealing ring and reduces displacement errors caused by assembly. Setting the length of the sealing ring protruding from the first mounting groove to 10% to 30% of the radius of the sealing ring effectively reduces interference between the sealing ring and the electronic device housing within the allowable assembly range, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring.

[0007] In some embodiments, along a first direction, the plastic housing includes a first wall and a second wall disposed opposite to each other, forming a first mounting groove, wherein the height of the second wall is greater than the height of the first wall. By providing the first and second walls on the plastic housing, and with the second wall being higher than the first wall, the higher second wall can provide support for the sealing ring, reducing displacement errors during assembly and improving the stability of the sealing ring. The lower first wall can reduce the resistance of the sealing ring when positioned in the first mounting groove, improving the ease of assembly. The height of the second wall can be set sufficiently to abut against the electronic device housing, which not only increases the support for the sealing ring but also improves the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector.

[0008] In some embodiments, the connecting portion further includes a plurality of top terminals, and a plurality of mounting portions are provided on the plastic part. A second mounting groove is formed on the top surface of each mounting portion, and the top terminals are disposed within the second mounting groove. Each top terminal includes a first end portion away from the second portion. The first end portion is disposed in the first portion, extends inward into the plastic part, and is bent to form an inner extension portion. The distance between the inner extension portion and the top surface of the mounting portion is greater than 0.10 mm and less than 0.20 mm. The top terminals are disposed within the plastic part for contacting the Type-C connector to form an electrical connection. When the Type-C connector is inserted, because the top terminals are exposed outside the plastic part, the pushing force during insertion can cause the first end portion of the top terminals to warp and become damaged. Extending the first end portion inward into the plastic part and protecting it with the plastic part can reduce the damage to the top terminals in the above-mentioned situation.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fastener further includes a third rivet and a fourth rivet disposed opposite to each other. The third rivet protrudes from a first side surface, and the fourth rivet protrudes from a second side surface. The third rivet presses against the second pressing surface, causing the first circumferential portion to press between the first protrusion and the third rivet. The fourth rivet presses against the second pressing surface, causing the second circumferential portion to press between the second protrusion and the fourth rivet. Adding a third and fourth rivet to the fastener, and arranging them similarly to the first and second rivet, presses the first and second circumferential portions between the protrusion and the third and fourth rivet. This can generate stronger pressure on the plastic shell, resulting in stronger interference between the plastic shell and the plastic parts, thereby improving the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector.

[0010] In some embodiments, the Type-C female connector further includes a first housing. Along a second direction, the plastic housing includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other. The first housing includes a first sub-shell and a second sub-shell connected to each other. The first sub-shell covers the first surface, and the second sub-shell covers a portion of the second part. Along a third direction, the first sub-shell includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member disposed opposite to each other, extending in the second direction, and used for engaging with a circuit board. And / or, the second sub-shell includes a third limiting member and a fourth limiting member disposed opposite to each other, extending in the second direction, and used for engaging with a circuit board. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Providing the first housing to cover the first surface and the second part provides physical protection for the plastic housing and the connecting portion. Along the third direction upwards, a first and second limiting member are provided on the first sub-shell. These first and second limiting members can connect with the circuit board of the electronic device, reducing displacement of the first shell caused by the pushing force when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female socket, thus enhancing the stability of the first shell. Adding a third and fourth limiting member further enhances the stability of the first shell. The first, second, third, and fourth limiting members can be soldered to the circuit board; this arrangement reduces the possibility of solder joint desoldering due to pushing force.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second sub-shell includes multiple supports for supporting the circuit board. Providing multiple supports on the second sub-shell, with the supports resting on the circuit board, allows the circuit board to provide support to the first shell. This effectively reduces displacement of the first shell caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female connector, thus improving the stability of the first shell.

[0012] In some embodiments, along a third direction, a fifth limiting member and a sixth limiting member are disposed opposite to each other in the second part, and a first limiting hole and a second limiting hole are disposed opposite to each other in the second sub-shell. The fifth limiting member is engaged with the first limiting hole, and the sixth limiting member is engaged with the second limiting hole. By providing the fifth and sixth limiting members in the second part and providing the first and second limiting holes in the second sub-shell, the fifth and sixth limiting members can be matched with the first and second limiting holes, which can effectively reduce the displacement of the first shell caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female connector, thereby improving the stability of the first shell.

[0013] In some embodiments, the Type-C female connector further includes a second housing disposed on the second surface. The second housing includes a seventh limiting member and an eighth limiting member. The second surface has a third limiting hole and a fourth limiting hole. The seventh limiting member is inserted into the third limiting hole, and the eighth limiting member is inserted into the fourth limiting hole. Providing a second housing on the second surface provides protection for the second surface. The third and fourth limiting holes on the second surface, and the seventh and eighth limiting members in the second housing inserted into these holes, effectively reduce the displacement of the second housing caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female connector, thus improving the stability of the second housing.

[0014] Secondly, this application also proposes an electronic device including a Type-C female connector as described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect above.

[0044] The technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0045] Firstly, this application proposes a Type-C female connector, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Type-C female connector includes a connector 1, a plastic housing 2, a fastener 3, and a sealing ring 4. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 3 to 5The connecting portion 1 includes a plastic part 11, which includes a first portion 111, a protrusion 113, and a second portion 112. Along the first direction X, the protrusion 113 connects to the connecting portion 1 between the first portion 111 and the second portion 112. Along the second direction Y, the first portion 111 includes a first side surface 1111 and a second side surface 1112 disposed opposite to each other. The protrusion 113 includes a first protrusion 1131 and a second protrusion 1132, whereby the first protrusion 1131 protrudes from the first side surface 1111, and the second protrusion 1132 protrudes from the second side surface 1112. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 6 to 8 A plastic shell 2 is fitted onto the connecting portion 1. The plastic shell 2 includes a surrounding portion 21 surrounding the protrusion 113. The surrounding portion 21 includes a first surrounding portion 211 disposed on the first protrusion 1131 and a second surrounding portion 212 disposed on the second protrusion 1132. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 9 The protrusion 113 includes a first pressing surface 1133 facing the first portion 111 and a second pressing surface 1134 facing away from the first portion 111. A fastener 3 is disposed on the first pressing surface 1133 and surrounds the connecting portion 1. The fastener 3 includes a first rivet 31 and a second rivet 32 ​​disposed opposite to each other. The first rivet 31 protrudes from the first side surface 1111, and the second rivet 32 ​​protrudes from the second side surface 1112. The first rivet 31 presses against the second pressing surface 1134, causing the first surrounding portion 211 to press between the first protrusion 1131 and the first rivet 31. The second rivet 32 ​​presses against the second pressing surface 1134, causing the second surrounding portion 212 to press between the second protrusion 1132 and the second rivet 32. A sealing ring 4 is fitted onto the plastic shell 2. The first direction X is the direction from the first portion 111 to the second portion 112, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0046] In the above scheme, the plastic part 11 is provided with a protrusion 113, and the plastic shell 2 is sleeved on the plastic part 11 and contacts the protrusion 113. The protrusion 113 can provide a limiting function for the Type-C connector, and the contact between the protrusion 113 and the plastic shell 2 forms interference, which blocks the flow of water and other penetrating liquids. The fastener 3 is provided on the first pressing surface 1133 and surrounds the connecting part 1, and is provided with a first rivet 31 and a second rivet 32. The first rivet 31 presses the first surrounding part 211 between the first protrusion 1131 and the first rivet 31, and the second rivet 32 ​​presses the second surrounding part 212 between the second protrusion 1132 and the second rivet 32. The first surrounding part 211 and the second surrounding part 212 are subjected to pressure, and the interference with the protrusion 113 is enhanced, which can reduce the gap between the plastic shell 2 and the plastic part 11, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector. The sealing ring 4 is fitted onto the plastic shell 2. The sealing ring 4 contacts the housing of the electronic device, creating interference and blocking water and other penetrating liquids, thus reducing the possibility of water seeping into the electronic device from between the housing and the Type-C female connector. The sealing ring 4 is made of a soft material such as silicone. When it mates with the housing, it deforms, exerting pressure on the housing and increasing the interference, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 A first mounting groove 22 is provided at the end of the plastic shell 2 away from the protrusion 113. A sealing ring 4 is disposed in the first mounting groove 22, protruding from it. The length of the portion of the sealing ring 4 protruding from the first mounting groove 22 is 10% to 30% of its radius. Providing the first mounting groove 22 and placing the sealing ring 4 within it improves the stability of the sealing ring 4 and reduces displacement errors caused during assembly. Setting the length of the sealing ring 4 protruding from the first mounting groove 22 to 10% to 30% of its radius effectively reduces interference between the sealing ring 4 and the electronic device housing within the allowable assembly range, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6Along the first direction X, the plastic housing 2 includes a first wall portion 23 and a second wall portion 24 disposed opposite to each other, forming a first mounting groove 22. The height of the second wall portion 24 is greater than the height of the first wall portion 23. The first wall portion 23 and the second wall portion 24 on the plastic housing 2, with the second wall portion 24 being higher than the first wall portion 23, provide support for the sealing ring 4, reducing displacement errors during assembly and improving the stability of the sealing ring 4. The lower first wall portion 23 reduces resistance when the sealing ring 4 is positioned in the first mounting groove 22, improving ease of assembly. The height of the second wall portion 24 can be set sufficiently to abut against the electronic device housing, which not only increases the support for the sealing ring 4 but also improves the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The connecting portion 1 also includes a plurality of top terminals 12. A plurality of mounting portions 114 are provided on the plastic part 11. A second mounting groove 1141 is formed on the top surface of the mounting portion 114. The top terminals 12 are disposed within the second mounting groove 1141. Each top terminal 12 includes a first end 121 located away from the second portion 112. The first end 121 is disposed within the first portion 111, extends into the plastic part 11, and is bent to form an inner extension 1211. The distance between the inner extension 1211 and the top surface of the mounting portion 114 is greater than 0.10 mm and less than 0.20 mm. The top terminals 12 are disposed within the plastic part 11 and are used to contact the Type-C connector to form an electrical connection. When the Type-C connector is inserted, because the top terminals 12 are exposed outside the plastic part 11, the pushing force during insertion can cause the first end 121 of the top terminals 12 to warp and become damaged. Extending the first end 121 into the plastic part 11 and using the plastic part 11 to protect the first end 121 can reduce damage to the top terminal 12 in the above-mentioned cases. The Type-C female connector can also have a bottom terminal 13 on the plastic part 11 opposite to the top terminal 12. In order to protect the bottom terminal 13, the bottom terminal 13 can be configured similarly to the top terminal 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9The fastener 3 also includes a third rivet 33 and a fourth rivet 34 disposed opposite to each other. The third rivet 33 protrudes from the first side 1111, and the fourth rivet 34 protrudes from the second side 1112. The third rivet 33 presses against the second pressing surface 1134, causing the first circling portion 211 to press between the first protrusion 1131 and the third rivet 33. The fourth rivet 34 presses against the second pressing surface 1134, causing the second circling portion 212 to press between the second protrusion 1132 and the fourth rivet 34. The fastener 3 adds a third rivet 33 and a fourth rivet 34, and arranges them similarly to the first rivet 31 and the second rivet 32, pressing the first circling portion 211 and the second circling portion 212 between the protrusion 113 and the third rivet 33 and the fourth rivet 34. It can exert stronger pressure on the plastic shell 2, making the interference between the plastic shell 2 and the plastic part 11 stronger, thereby improving the sealing performance of the Type-C female connector.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 as well as Figures 11 to 13 The Type-C female connector also includes a first housing 5. Along the second direction Y, the plastic housing 2 includes a first surface 25 and a second surface 26 disposed opposite to each other. The first housing 5 includes a first sub-housing 51 and a second sub-housing 52, connected to each other. The first sub-housing 51 covers the first surface 25, and the second sub-housing 52 covers a second portion 112. Along the third direction Z, the first sub-housing 51 includes a first limiting member 511 and a second limiting member 512 disposed opposite to each other, extending in the second direction Y. The first limiting member 511 and the second limiting member 512 are used for engaging with a circuit board. And / or, the second sub-housing 52 includes a third limiting member 521 and a fourth limiting member 522 disposed opposite to each other, extending in the second direction Y. The first limiting member 511 and the second limiting member 512 are used for engaging with a circuit board. The third direction Z is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first housing 5, covering the first surface 25 and the second part 112, provides physical protection for the plastic housing 2 and the connecting part 1. Along the third direction Z, a first limiting member 511 and a second limiting member 512 are provided on the first sub-housing 51. These limiting members 511 and 512 can connect with the circuit board of the electronic device, reducing displacement of the first housing 5 due to thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female socket, thus enhancing the stability of the first housing 5. Adding a third limiting member 521 and a fourth limiting member 522 further enhances the stability of the first housing 5. The first limiting member 511, the second limiting member 512, the third limiting member 521, and the fourth limiting member 522 can be soldered to the circuit board, reducing the possibility of solder joint desoldering due to thrust.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 13 The second sub-shell 52 includes multiple support members 523, which are used to support the circuit board. By providing multiple support members 523 on the second sub-shell 52, the circuit board can provide support to the first shell 5 through the support members 523. This effectively reduces the displacement of the first shell 5 caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female socket, thus improving the stability of the first shell 5.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 Along the third direction Z, the second part 112 is provided with a fifth limiting member 1121 and a sixth limiting member 1122, and the second sub-shell 52 is provided with a first limiting hole 524 and a second limiting hole 525, which are provided with opposite orientation. The fifth limiting member 1121 is engaged with the first limiting hole 524, and the sixth limiting member 1122 is engaged with the second limiting hole 525. By providing the fifth limiting member 1121 and the sixth limiting member 1122 in the second part 112, and by providing the first limiting hole 524 and the second limiting hole 525 in the second sub-shell 52, the fifth limiting member 1121 and the sixth limiting member 1122 are configured to cooperate with the first limiting hole 524 and the second limiting hole 525. This can effectively reduce the displacement of the first shell 5 caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female connector, thereby improving the stability of the first shell 5.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 14 to 16 The Type-C female connector also includes a second housing 6, which is disposed on the second surface 26. The second housing 6 includes a seventh limiting member 61 and an eighth limiting member 62. The second surface 26 has a third limiting hole 261 and a fourth limiting hole 262. The seventh limiting member 61 is inserted into the third limiting hole 261, and the eighth limiting member 62 is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 262. The second housing 6 provides protection for the second surface 26. The third limiting hole 261 and the fourth limiting hole 262 on the second surface 26, and the seventh limiting member 61 and the eighth limiting member 62 inserted into the third limiting hole 261 and the fourth limiting hole 262, effectively reduce the displacement of the second housing 6 caused by the thrust when the Type-C connector is inserted into the Type-C female connector, thus improving the stability of the second housing 6.
