Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and in particular to a connector structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society and the electronics industry, connectors, also known domestically as plugs, sockets, or connectors, generally refer to electrical connectors. They are devices that connect two active devices, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to another. Simply put, electronic connectors are components used to complete electrical connections between circuits or electronic devices, thus becoming a bridge between them. Connector forms and structures are ever-changing. Depending on the application, frequency, power, and application environment, there are various types of connectors. The components that connect the circuit on all connectors are the contacts, or contact terminals.
[0003] However, the existing connector structure design is inadequate. Due to the large number of terminals in some connectors, the stamping, electroplating, and assembly processes limit the number of terminals in the same connector to be on different planes, resulting in inconsistent terminal spring heights. Furthermore, the flatness of the solder feet cannot meet the requirements of reflow soldering, which easily leads to open solder joints and cold solder joints, resulting in inconsistent product quality, poor usability, and limited applicability.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology and its main purpose is to provide a connector structure that utilizes a spring sheet integrally injection molded onto the welding section of the terminal to act as a spring-loaded terminal, so that multiple terminals are on the same plane on the base. With the addition of a cover plate, the distance between the spring sheet and the terminal welding section is limited, ensuring the smooth operation of subsequent processes. The structure is ingeniously and reasonably designed, ensuring consistent and stable product quality, excellent usability, and wide applicability.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A connector structure includes a base, terminals, spring contacts, and a cover plate; wherein: the terminals are disposed on the base and have soldering sections; the spring contacts are plastic spring contacts integrally molded onto the soldering sections of the terminals by injection molding; the cover plate is disposed on one end of the base near the soldering sections, the cover plate has a clearance opening corresponding to the terminals, the outer end of the soldering sections passes through the clearance opening and protrudes outside the cover plate, and the inner and outer ends of the spring contacts contact the base and the cover plate, respectively.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the cover plate has outwardly extending positioning protrusions, and at least two positioning protrusions are provided, one of which is located at the center of one side of the outer end of the cover plate, and the other positioning protrusion is located at the edge of the other side of the outer end of the cover plate.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the cover plate has two outwardly extending protrusions, the clearance opening is located between the two protrusions, and the positioning protrusions are respectively disposed on the two protrusions.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a locking device for connecting and fixing to an object, one end of which passes through the base and the cover plate in sequence and is connected to the object.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the seat body is provided with a first anti-mistake part, and there are three first anti-mistake parts, two of which are located at the upper end of the seat body and arranged at left and right intervals, and the other first anti-mistake part is located at the lower end of the seat body and in the middle section of the seat body; correspondingly, the cover plate is provided with three second anti-mistake parts corresponding to the first anti-mistake parts.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the first error-proof part has a reinforcing part extending toward the second error-proof part, and the rear end of the reinforcing part contacts the second error-proof part.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a groove for assembling and positioning the spring sheet.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly uses the design of each component to integrally mold the spring sheet onto the welding section of the terminal to play the role of spring tip, so that multiple terminals are on the same plane on the seat. With the setting of the cover plate, the spring sheet is restricted on the seat, ensuring the subsequent process operation of the welding section of the terminal. The structure design is ingenious and reasonable, ensuring the stable and consistent quality of the product, good usability, and wide applicability.
[0015] Secondly, the positioning protrusions facilitate subsequent assembly and positioning operations. At the same time, the protrusions help improve the assembly connection strength between the cover plate and the components, ensuring the stability of the connector in use.
[0016] Furthermore, the first and second anti-mistake parts are designed to facilitate the assembly and positioning of the base and the cover plate, and to facilitate the anti-mistake assembly and connection of the connector product on the components. The operation is simple and the assembly is convenient. At the same time, the reinforcement part helps to improve the structural strength between the base and the cover plate, ensuring the stability of the connector product. In addition, the groove is designed to facilitate the assembly and positioning of the spring on the base, making it highly practical.
