Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and more particularly to an electrical connector. Background Technology
[0002] In electrical connectors, maintaining a secure mating state between the plug and socket effectively ensures stable signal connection. While conventional electrical connectors in the prior art can achieve a secure connection between the plug connector (i.e., the first connector) and the socket connector (i.e., the second connector) using conventional locking components, thus providing an effective and stable signal connection, these connectors lack a pre-assembly stage (where the conventional locking components are pre-installed into the plug to form a pre-assembled unit) or do not restrict the movement freedom of the conventional locking components in the axial direction of the cable, the width direction of the connector, and the mating direction of the first and second connectors. This results in conventional electrical connectors being shipped haphazardly to end customers, requiring them to assemble the plug connector, locking components, and socket connector themselves. This increases assembly costs and difficulty for end customers. Furthermore, improper assembly by the end customer can lead to an unstable or unreliable connection between the plug and socket connectors, preventing the conventional electrical connector from maintaining an effective and stable signal connection under complex environments such as high-frequency vibration. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application aims to provide an electrical connector that improves the assembly efficiency of the electrical connector.
[0004] In a first aspect, this application proposes an electrical connector, including a plug, a socket, and a locking member. Specifically, the plug includes a mounting shell and a plug body. The mounting shell includes a plate and a mounting portion. A first protruding plate and a second protruding plate are protruding from the surface of the plate, and the first and second protruding plates are disposed opposite each other along a first direction. The mounting portion is disposed between the first and second protruding plates and is connected to the plate. Along a second direction, the mounting portion has a first mounting hole, and the plug body is disposed in the first mounting hole. The socket includes a fitting portion for mounting with the mounting portion. The locking member includes a locking plate, a first limiting structure, a second limiting structure, and a locking structure. Along a third direction, the locking member has a mounting opening for inserting the plug, so that the plug is locked by the locking member. The locking member is made of a plastic alloy material. Along the second direction, the locking plate has a second mounting hole, which communicates with the mounting opening. Along a third direction, the first limiting structure, the locking structure, and the second limiting structure are sequentially disposed on the locking plate within the second mounting hole. Along a third direction, the first limiting structure is closer to the mounting opening than the locking structure. Among them, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are all perpendicular to each other.
[0005] In the above solution, a secure connection between the plug and socket is achieved by employing a locking member with a first limiting structure, a second limiting structure, and a locking structure. The first and second limiting structures restrict the locking member's freedom of movement in the first, second, and third directions when it is pre-installed into the plug to form a pre-assembly unit. This reduces the likelihood of the locking member and plug separating during packaging and shipping to the end customer, thereby lowering assembly costs and complexity for the end customer. The first and second protrusions guide the locking member's displacement in the third direction, allowing the mounting housing to smoothly enter the locking member. Furthermore, during the final assembly of the pre-assembly unit, the user first installs the socket onto the plug in the pre-assembly unit until the first mounting protrusion engages with the second mounting groove to form a self-locking mechanism. Then, the user pushes the locking member in the pre-assembly unit until the locking structure engages with the first mounting groove to form a reliable fixation. In summary, the electrical connector in the above solution can form a self-locking mechanism after the socket and plug are mated, and can maintain an effective and stable connection signal even under high-frequency vibration environments. The locking mechanism and plug fit together to form a pre-assembled unit, reducing assembly costs and difficulty for end customers and improving the efficiency of electrical connector assembly.
[0006] In some embodiments, the locking element comprises a plastic alloy material formed by blending acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and polycarbonate. The material of the locking element, comprising a plastic alloy material formed by blending acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and polycarbonate, possesses good flexibility and impact resistance, making the locking element less susceptible to damage from impact forces during assembly with the plug. Furthermore, this material exhibits good plasticity, allowing for injection molding, thus reducing the processing complexity and cost of the locking element.
[0007] In some embodiments, the locking member further includes a first side plate, a second side plate, and a support plate. Along a first direction, the first side plate and the second side plate are disposed opposite to each other, and both the first and second side plates are connected to the locking plate. Along a second direction, the support plate is disposed opposite to the locking plate. The support plate is connected to both the first and second side plates. By providing the first side plate, the second side plate, and the support plate in the locking member, the locking member can better restrict the displacement of the plug in the first and second directions during pre-assembly or terminal assembly, thereby improving the stability during assembly.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first side plate, the second side plate, the locking plate, and the support plate are integrally formed. Integrating the first side plate, the second side plate, the locking plate, and the support plate into one unit reduces connection errors between the individual plates, improves the stability and strength of the locking plate itself, and better restricts the displacement of the plug in the first and second directions during pre-assembly or terminal assembly. Furthermore, the integral design reduces the processing difficulty and cost of the locking components.
[0009] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure includes a first stop and a second stop. The second limiting structure includes a third stop and a fourth stop. Along a third direction, the first and second stops are disposed opposite to each other, and the third and fourth stops are disposed opposite to each other. By providing the first and second stops in the first limiting structure and the third and fourth stops in the second limiting structure, the first and second limiting structures can better restrict the displacement of the plug in the third direction during pre-assembly, thereby improving the stability of the pre-assembled unit composed of the plug and the locking member and reducing the occurrence of the plug detaching from the locking member during transportation.
[0010] In some embodiments, the locking plate has a chamfer. The chamfer is located at the end of the locking plate away from the locking structure. Providing a chamfer at the end of the locking plate away from the locking structure reduces damage to the plug caused by friction during assembly of the plug and the locking component. Furthermore, the chamfer guides the plug, reducing resistance during assembly and improving assembly efficiency.
[0011] In some embodiments, the locking structure includes a first arc surface, a second arc surface, and a third arc surface. The first arc surface and the third arc surface are disposed opposite to each other, and the second arc surface faces the mounting opening. The first arc surface is in contact with the second arc surface, and the second arc surface is in contact with the third arc surface. The locking structure, by providing the first, second, and third arc surfaces, allows for better engagement with the plug; specifically, it allows for better locking with the mounting housing, reducing plug displacement after assembly and improving the stability of the electrical connector.
[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting portion has a first mounting groove. The first mounting groove surrounds the first mounting hole. The first mounting groove is used to engage with a locking structure for locking. Providing the first mounting groove in the mounting portion allows the mounting housing to better engage with the locking structure, reducing errors after the locking element and plug are engaged and locked, and improving the stability of the electrical connector.
[0013] In some embodiments, the mounting portion has a first mounting protrusion, and the fitting portion has a second mounting groove. The first mounting protrusion is disposed within a first mounting hole. The second mounting groove is used to mate with the first mounting protrusion for mounting. Providing the first mounting protrusion in the mounting portion and the second mounting groove in the fitting portion allows for mutual mating and mounting, resulting in a better fit between the fitting portion and the mounting housing. The mating of the first mounting protrusion and the second mounting groove creates a self-locking mechanism, improving the stability of the plug and socket connection.
[0014] In some embodiments, the plate body includes a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate disposed opposite to each other along a first direction. Along a third direction, the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are disposed on the side of the plate body away from the locking member. The first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are used to limit the displacement of the plug body in the first direction and the second direction. Providing the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate on the plate body allows the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate to provide constraint on the plug body, thereby improving the stability of the plug body when it mates with the mounting shell, which is beneficial for improving the connection stability of the electrical connector.

The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0030] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0031] 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.
[0032] It should be noted that electrical connectors can electrically connect signal transmission media such as cables to the circuitry of a substrate, such as RF (Radio Frequency) connectors. Here, the signal transmission medium refers to the medium used to transmit various signals. Furthermore, the substrate is, for example, a printed wiring substrate. In other words, the electrical connector of this embodiment is an RF connector that electrically connects an RF cable to the circuitry of a printed wiring substrate. It can be applied to various fields involving RF connectors, including but not limited to controllers, game controllers, VR glasses, headphones, and routers.
[0033] Firstly, this application discloses an electrical connector, including a plug 1, a socket 2, and a locking member 3. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The plug 1 includes a mounting shell 11 and a plug body 12. The mounting shell 11 includes a plate 111 and a mounting portion 112. A first protruding plate 1111 and a second protruding plate 1112 are protruding from the surface of the plate 111, and the first protruding plate 1111 and the second protruding plate 1112 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. The mounting portion 112 is disposed between the first protruding plate 1111 and the second protruding plate 1112, and the mounting portion 112 is connected to the plate 111. Along the second direction Y, the mounting portion 112 has a first mounting hole 1121, and the plug body 12 is disposed in the first mounting hole 1121. The socket 2 includes a fitting portion 21, which is used to cooperate with the mounting portion 112 for installation. The locking member 3 includes a locking plate 31, a first limiting structure 32, a second limiting structure 33, and a locking structure 34. Along the third direction Z, the locking member 3 has a mounting opening 35, which is used for the insertion of the plug 1, so that the plug 1 is locked by the locking member 3. The locking component 3 is made of a plastic alloy material. Along the second direction Y, the locking plate 31 has a second mounting hole 311, which communicates with the mounting opening 35. Along the third direction Z, a first limiting structure 32, a locking structure 34, and a second limiting structure 33 are sequentially disposed on the locking plate 31 within the second mounting hole 311. Along the third direction Z, the first limiting structure 32 is closer to the mounting opening 35 than the locking structure 34. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are all perpendicular to each other. The fitting part 21 mates with the first mounting hole 1121 of the mounting part 112, allowing the fitting part 21 to be configured to fit the opening of the first mounting hole 1121, such as a hollow cylinder that mates with a circular opening. One end of the hollow cylindrical fitting part 21 can be connected to other components of the socket, while the other end mates with the first mounting hole 1121 for installation. Furthermore, to better fit with the mounting part, a locking element such as a snap-fit or a self-locking structure can be provided. Correspondingly, a corresponding locking element can be provided in the mounting part 112.
[0034] In the above solution, a stable connection between the plug 1 and the socket 2 is achieved by using a locking member 3 with a first limiting structure 32, a second limiting structure 33, and a locking structure 34. The first limiting structure 32 and the second limiting structure 33 restrict the movement freedom of the locking member 3 in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z when it is pre-installed onto the plug 1 to form a pre-assembled unit. This prevents the locking member 3 and the plug 1 from separating during packaging and shipping to the end customer, thereby reducing assembly costs and difficulty for the end customer. The first protrusion 1111 and the second protrusion 1112 guide the displacement of the locking member 3 in the third direction Z, allowing the mounting shell 11 to enter the locking member 3 more smoothly. The first direction X can be the width direction of the locking member 3, the second direction Y can be the height direction of the locking member 3, and the third direction Z can be the length direction of the locking member 3. Furthermore, during the final assembly of the pre-assembled unit, the user first installs the socket 2 onto the plug 1 in the pre-assembled unit until the first mounting protrusion 1123 engages with the second mounting groove 211 to form a self-locking mechanism. Then, the user pushes the locking member 3 in the pre-assembled unit until the locking structure 34 engages with the first mounting groove 1122 to form a reliable fixation. In summary, the electrical connector in the above solution can form a self-locking mechanism after the socket 2 and plug 1 are mated, and can maintain an effective and stable connection signal under high-frequency vibration environments. The limiting structure of the locking member 3, in conjunction with the plug 1, can form a pre-assembled unit, reducing assembly costs and difficulty for end customers.
[0035] It should be noted that, generally speaking, socket 2 is located at the end customer's location; therefore, plug 1 and locking mechanism 3 need to be pre-installed before packaging and shipping to the end customer. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3This electrical connector allows for the pre-assembly of the plug 1 and locking member 3 to form an integrated pre-assembled unit. This pre-assembled unit is then packaged and shipped to the end customer. The end customer mates the plug 1 with the socket 2 in the pre-assembled unit and then pushes the locking member in the pre-assembled unit further rearward along the third direction Z until it enters the locking structure 34. This clamps the mounting shell 11 in the locking structure 34, causing the plug 1 and socket 2 to self-lock after mating. Ultimately, this ensures that the electrical connector maintains an effective and stable signal connection even in complex environments. In this electrical connector, the plug 1 portion also includes a signal contact 13, and the plug body 12 portion has a receiving groove 121 in which the signal contact 13 is disposed. The plug 1 portion also includes a cable 14, which is electrically connected to the signal contact 13. In this application, the locking member 3 in the pre-assembled unit is restricted in its movement freedom in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z. This reduces the likelihood of pre-assembled units becoming scattered during packaging and shipping to end customers, thereby avoiding the need for end customers to reassemble plug 1 and locking component 3 during the final assembly process, and thus reducing the assembly cost and difficulty for end customers.
[0036] In some embodiments, the locking element 3 comprises a plastic alloy material formed by blending acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and polycarbonate. The material of the locking element 3, comprising a plastic alloy material formed by blending acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and polycarbonate, possesses good flexibility and impact resistance, making the locking element 3 less susceptible to damage from impact forces during assembly with the plug 1. Furthermore, this material exhibits good plasticity, allowing for injection molding, thus reducing the processing complexity and cost of the locking element 3.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The locking component 3 also includes a first side plate 36, a second side plate 37, and a support plate 38. Along the first direction X, the first side plate 36 and the second side plate 37 are positioned opposite each other, and both are connected to the locking plate 31. Along the second direction Y, the support plate 38 is positioned opposite the locking plate 31. The support plate 38 is connected to both the first side plate 36 and the second side plate 37. The inclusion of the first side plate 36, the second side plate 37, and the support plate 38 in the locking component 3 allows for better restriction of the plug 1's displacement in the first direction X and the second direction Y during pre-assembly or terminal assembly, thus improving assembly stability.
[0038] In some embodiments, the first side plate 36, the second side plate 37, the locking plate 31, and the support plate 38 are integrally formed. Integrating the first side plate 36, the second side plate 37, the locking plate 31, and the support plate 38 into one unit reduces connection errors between the individual plates, improves the stability and strength of the locking plate 31 itself, and better restricts the displacement of the plug 1 in the first direction X and the second direction Y during pre-assembly or terminal assembly. Furthermore, the integral form reduces the processing difficulty and cost of the locking component 3.
[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The first limiting structure 32 includes a first stop 321 and a second stop 322. The second limiting structure 33 includes a third stop 331 and a fourth stop 332. Along the third direction Z, the first stop 321 and the second stop 322 are arranged opposite to each other, and the third stop 331 and the fourth stop 332 are arranged opposite to each other. By providing the first stop 321 and the second stop 322 in the first limiting structure 32, and the third stop 331 and the fourth stop 332 in the second limiting structure 33, the first limiting structure 32 and the second limiting structure 33 can better restrict the displacement of the plug 1 in the third direction Z during pre-assembly, thereby improving the stability of the pre-assembled unit composed of the plug 1 and the locking member 3 and reducing the occurrence of the plug 1 disengaging from the locking member 3 during transportation. It is understood that the first limiting structure 32 and the second limiting structure 33 may include an engaging plane and two stops, or may include a plane with multiple small protrusions or other structures that can increase resistance and limit the relative displacement of the plug 1 and the locking member 3. As described in the above embodiments, the first limiting structure 32 and the second limiting structure 33 have protruding surfaces, the first stop 321 and the second stop 322 have protruding surfaces, the third stop 331 and the fourth stop 332 have protruding surfaces, and the protruding surfaces can be set as arc surfaces, which can not only effectively limit the displacement of the plug 1, but also reduce the damage caused by friction between the plug 1 and the locking member 3.
[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The locking plate 31 has a chamfer. The chamfer is located at the end of the locking plate 31 away from the locking structure 34. Providing a chamfer at the end of the locking plate 31 away from the locking structure 34 reduces damage to the plug 1 caused by friction during assembly of the plug 1 and the locking member 3. Furthermore, the chamfer guides the plug 1, reducing resistance during assembly and improving assembly efficiency. To better achieve these effects, two opposing chamfers can be provided along the first direction X. The chamfers can be right angles or rounded corners; right angles provide better guidance, while rounded corners provide better protection.
[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The locking structure 34 includes a first arc surface 341, a second arc surface 342, and a third arc surface 343. The first arc surface 341 and the third arc surface 343 are positioned opposite each other, and the second arc surface 342 faces the mounting opening 35. The first arc surface 341 is in contact with the second arc surface 342, and the second arc surface 342 is in contact with the third arc surface 343. The locking structure 34, with its first arc surface 341, second arc surface 342, and third arc surface 343, allows for better engagement with the plug 1. Specifically, it allows for better locking with the mounting housing 11, reducing displacement of the plug 1 after assembly and improving the stability of the electrical connector. It is understood that, to better fit the mounting housing 11, the aforementioned arc surfaces can be configured, for example, a fourth arc surface or more. Alternatively, the number of arc surfaces can be reduced, allowing the locking structure 34 to form a continuous arc surface.
[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The mounting portion 112 has a first mounting groove 1122. The first mounting groove 1122 surrounds the first mounting hole 1121. The first mounting groove 1122 is used to engage with the locking structure 34 for locking. The first mounting groove 1122 in the mounting portion 112 allows the mounting shell 11 to better engage with the locking structure 34, reducing the error after the locking member 3 and the plug 1 are engaged and locked, and providing stability to the electrical connector.
[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The mounting portion 112 has a first mounting protrusion 1123, and the fitting portion 21 has a second mounting groove 211. The first mounting protrusion 1123 is disposed within the first mounting hole 1121. The second mounting groove 211 is used to mate with the first mounting protrusion 1123 for installation. The provision of the first mounting protrusion 1123 in the mounting portion 112 and the second mounting groove 211 in the fitting portion 21 allows for mutual mate installation, resulting in a better fit between the fitting portion 21 and the mounting shell 11. The engagement of the first mounting protrusion 1123 and the second mounting groove 211 creates a self-locking mechanism, improving the stability of the connection between the plug 1 and the socket 2.
[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The plate body 111 includes a first fixing plate 1113 and a second fixing plate 1114 disposed opposite to each other along a first direction X. Along a third direction Z, the first fixing plate 1113 and the second fixing plate 1114 are disposed on the side of the plate body 111 away from the locking member 3. The first fixing plate 1113 and the second fixing plate 1114 are used to limit the displacement of the plug body 12 in the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first fixing plate 1113 and the second fixing plate 1114 disposed on the plate body 111 provide constraints for the plug body 12, thereby improving the stability of the plug body 12 when it mates with the mounting shell 11, which is beneficial for improving the connection stability of the electrical connector.
