Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to a connector and an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of electronic equipment technology, the functions of electronic equipment are becoming more and more diversified. In order to achieve the required functions, a large number of circuits and electrical connection devices are often required in electronic equipment. For example, in order to improve the performance of the mid-frame antenna, the mid-frame needs to be electrically connected to electronic components such as capacitors and inductors to achieve the tuning of the mid-frame antenna.
[0003] Since individual electronic components cannot be stably connected to the mid-frame, connectors are typically used in related technologies to electrically connect the electronic components to the mid-frame. This involves placing the electronic components on a circuit board and electrically connecting the circuit board to the mid-frame. However, the circuit board occupies a large amount of space, which increases the overall size of the electronic device and fails to meet users' demands for lightweight and portable electronic devices. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides a connector and an electronic device.
[0005] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a connector is provided, comprising:
[0006] The connecting body is equipped with a receiving slot;
[0007] Electronic components are disposed within the receiving slot;
[0008] A connecting assembly includes at least two connecting parts electrically connected to the electronic component, one of the at least two connecting parts being used to connect to a first component to be connected, and the other of the at least two connecting parts being used to connect to a second component to be connected, wherein the electronic component is electrically connected between the first component to be connected and the second component to be connected.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the connector includes two connecting portions, each connecting portion including connected conductive fasteners and elastic arms, one of the two conductive fasteners being connected to the positive terminal of the electronic component, and the other of the two conductive fasteners being connected to the negative terminal of the electronic component.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the elastic arm includes a connecting arm, a spring sheet, and a fixing arm connected in sequence, with one end of the connecting arm away from the spring sheet connected to the conductive fixing member.
[0012] The spring protrudes from the outside of the connecting body, and the conductive fastener, the connecting arm, and the fixing arm are fixed inside the connecting body.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the fixing arm includes a first segment and a second segment, the first segment being disposed opposite to the connecting arm, the second segment being bent relative to the first segment toward the side away from the conductive fixing member, and the second segment being snapped into connection with the connecting body.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the connecting arm is bent relative to the conductive fastener, the connecting arm, the spring tab, and the fixing arm are located on the same side of the conductive fastener, the spring tab is located between the first segment and the connecting arm, and there is a gap between the spring tab and the side of the connecting body for mounting the spring tab.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the spring is provided with a contact portion protruding from the surface of the spring, and the contact portion contacts the component to be connected;
[0018] The side of the connecting body on which the spring is mounted is recessed into the interior of the connecting body to form a clearance portion, and the clearance portion forms a clearance space.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the receiving groove is filled with a sealing isolation layer that covers the electronic component.
[0020] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, an electronic device is provided, including a mid-frame and a battery compartment, wherein the mid-frame and / or the battery compartment are provided with a mounting slot for mounting a connector as described in the first aspect of this disclosure, wherein electronic components in the connector are electrically connected to the mid-frame and the battery compartment respectively via the connecting assembly, wherein the mid-frame is provided with an antenna, and the electronic components are part of the tuning circuit of the antenna.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the mounting groove includes a first groove disposed on the middle frame and a second groove disposed on the outer wall of the battery compartment, the first groove and the second groove enclosing each other to form the mounting groove.
[0022] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: In the connector of this disclosure, the connecting body is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating electronic components, which can effectively prevent electronic components from shifting or misaligning under the action of external force. The electronic components are electrically connected to the first and second components to be connected respectively through the connecting components. While realizing the electrical connection, the overall space occupation of the connector is reduced, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization and integration design of electronic devices.
[0023] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Figure 6 This is a second schematic diagram of the connector structure shown according to an exemplary embodiment.
[0031] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of electronic components and connectors according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation
[0032] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Where the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0033] With the continuous development of electronic equipment technology, the functions of electronic equipment are becoming more and more diversified. In order to achieve the required functions, a large number of circuits and electrical connection devices are often required in electronic equipment. For example, in order to improve the performance of the mid-frame antenna, the mid-frame needs to be electrically connected with electronic components such as capacitors and inductors to form a tuning circuit to tune the mid-frame antenna.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in related technologies, since a single electronic component 20' cannot stably contact and connect with the middle frame 41', the reliability of the electrical connection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a connector with electrical connection function is usually required to electrically connect the electronic component 20' to the middle frame 41'. The connector includes a circuit board 101', the electronic component 20', and two spring contacts 322'. The electronic component 20' is disposed on the circuit board 101', and the two spring contacts 322' are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the circuit board 101', and the two spring contacts 322' respectively abut against the middle frame 41' and the battery compartment 42' to achieve electrical connection between the circuit board 101' and the middle frame 41' and the battery compartment 42'. Since the circuit board itself is relatively large, adding spring contacts 322' for electrical connection would cause the connector to occupy a large space. Therefore, sufficient spacing needs to be reserved between the middle frame 41' and the battery compartment 42', which increases the overall size of the electronic device and fails to meet users' needs for lightweight and portable electronic devices.
[0035] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a connector and an electronic device. The connector's connecting body is provided with a receiving slot for accommodating electronic components, preventing the electronic components from shifting. The electronic components are electrically connected to a first and a second component to be connected via a connecting assembly. This ensures that while achieving electrical connection, the overall space occupied by the connector is reduced, which is beneficial for the miniaturization and integration design of electronic devices.
[0036] According to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 2-7 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a connector, which includes a connecting body 10 and an electronic component 20. The connecting body 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11, the size of which may be slightly larger than the size of the electronic component 20, so that the electronic component 20 can be disposed within the receiving groove 11.
[0037] The connector also includes a connecting assembly comprising at least two connecting portions 30 for electrically connecting the electronic component 20 to at least two components to be connected (e.g., a mid-frame antenna and a battery compartment). Exemplarily, one of the at least two connecting portions 30 is connected to a first component to be connected (e.g., the mid-frame), and the other of the at least two connecting portions 30 is connected to a second component to be connected (e.g., the side wall of the battery compartment), thereby electrically connecting the electronic component 20 between the first and second components to be connected, enabling the first component to be connected to the second component to be connected electrically via the electronic component 20. When multiple connectors are provided between the first and second components to be connected, the multiple electronic components 20 in the multiple connectors are connected in parallel. Of course, it is understood that the multiple electronic components in the multiple connectors can also be connected in series or in a mixed manner by changing the placement of the connectors and the objects being connected (i.e., the first and second components to be connected). That is, the electrical connection between the electronic component 20 and at least two components to be connected can include parallel, series, or a combination of parallel and series connections.
[0038] In an exemplary installation scenario, refer to Figure 2 As shown, taking the example of electronic component 20 being electrically connected between the mid-frame antenna and the battery compartment, the first component to be connected can be, for example, the mid-frame 41 of the electronic device, and the second component to be connected can be, for example, the battery compartment 42 of the electronic device. Of course, it is understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not impose too many restrictions on the specific forms of the first and second components to be connected, and those skilled in the art can also apply the connectors in the embodiments of this disclosure to other types of electrical connection circuits according to actual needs.
[0039] Electronic component 20 is part of the tuning circuit of the mid-frame antenna, and is electrically connected to the battery compartment 42, thereby grounding the electronic component 20 through the grounding of the battery compartment 42. Compared to not having electronic component 20, by using the connector of this embodiment to electrically connect electronic component 20 as part of the tuning circuit of the mid-frame antenna, the performance of the antenna can be improved by about 20%, thereby improving the user experience.
[0040] In one example, there are two connecting parts 30. One of the two connecting parts 30 is connected to the first component to be connected, and the other connecting part 30 is connected to the second component to be connected, so that the electronic component 20 is electrically connected between the first component to be connected and the second component to be connected. In another example, there are three connecting parts 30. Two of the three connecting parts 30 are connected to the first component to be connected and the second component to be connected, respectively, and the third connecting part is connected to other devices or circuit structures. Of course, it is understood that, depending on the structure to be connected, a greater number of connecting parts 30 may be provided. This disclosure does not impose excessive limitations on this, and those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to technical needs.
[0041] In the connector of this embodiment, the connector body 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating electronic components 20, and the electronic components 20 are electrically connected to the first and second components to be connected respectively through the connecting components. Compared with the technical solutions of related technologies, while realizing electrical connection, the overall space occupation of the connector is reduced, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization and integration design of electronic devices.
[0042] In some embodiments, electronic component 20 may include at least one of electronic devices such as inductors, capacitors, and resistors. The specific type of electronic component 20 can be selected by those skilled in the art according to circuit design needs, and this disclosure does not impose excessive limitations in this regard.
[0043] In some embodiments, the connector includes two connecting portions 30, and the connecting portions 30 are soldered to the electronic component 20. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the connecting portion 30 includes a connected conductive fixing member and an elastic arm 32. The conductive fixing member can be, for example, a solder pad, or a metal part such as copper foil or silver foil used to achieve conductivity and fixation during the soldering process. The structure in this disclosure will be described below using a solder pad as an example of the conductive fixing member. One of the two solder pads 31 is connected to the positive terminal of the electronic component 20, and the other solder pad 31 is connected to the negative terminal of the electronic component 20, so that the electronic component 20 is fixed and electrically connected between the two connecting portions 30. A portion of the elastic arm 32 extends outside the connecting body 10 to abut against the components to be connected, thereby realizing the electrical connection of the electronic component 20 between two different components to be connected.
[0044] In some embodiments, the elastic arm 32 includes a connecting arm 321, a spring piece 322, and a fixing arm 323. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the connecting arm 321, the spring piece 322 and the fixing arm 323 are connected in sequence. The end of the connecting arm 321 away from the spring piece 322 is connected to the solder pad 31. The spring piece 322 protrudes from the outside of the connecting body 10, that is, the spring piece 322 extends to the outside of the connecting body 10 as part of the elastic arm 32.
[0045] In one example, the solder pad 31, connecting arm 321, and fixing arm 323 are fixed inside the connecting body 10 by injection molding. Since part of the structure of the connecting part 30 is integrally formed with the connecting body 10 by injection molding, the bonding strength between the connecting part 30 and the connecting body 10 can be increased. Furthermore, since the connector of this embodiment does not require an additional circuit board for electrical connection, compared with the prior art, the overall weight and space occupation of the connector can be effectively reduced, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0046] In one example, the connecting arm 321 and the fixed arm 323 of the elastic arm 32 are arranged opposite each other, so that the two connecting parts 30 are centrally symmetrical, resulting in better overall structural stability and facilitating injection molding production with lower processing costs. Figure 7 As shown, connecting arms 321 and fixing arms 323 are respectively disposed at both ends of the spring piece 322. The extending directions of the connecting arms 321 of the two connecting portions 30 are opposite. The spring pieces 322 of the two connecting portions 30 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the connecting body 10, and the pads 31 of the two connecting portions 30 are located between the two spring pieces 322, so that the electronic component 20 fixed on the pad 31 is located between the two spring pieces 322. At least a portion of the connecting arms 321 and the fixing arms 323 are parallel to each other, thereby ensuring the stability of the spring piece 322 located between them. The first side of the first end of the connecting arm 321 is bent and connected to the pad 31, and the second side of the second end of the connecting arm 321 is bent and connected to the spring piece 322. The first side and the second side are two adjacent sides on the connecting arm 321, so that the pad 31 and the spring piece 322 are located on different planes, realizing the overall orientation installation requirements of the connecting portion 30. It is understandable that when the installation requirements of the connecting part 30 are different, the spatial positional relationship between the three components can be changed by altering the bending relationship between the solder pad 31, the connecting arm 321, and the fixing arm 323, thereby meeting different connection and installation requirements.
[0047] In one example, the fixed arm 323 includes a first segment 3231 and a second segment 3232. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the first segment 3231 is positioned opposite to the connecting arm 321, meaning that the first segment 3231 and the connecting arm 321 are respectively located at both ends of the spring piece 322, and their positions are opposite to each other. The second segment 3232 is bent away from the solder pad 31 relative to the first segment 3231. The second segment 3232 is used to limit the movement between the spring piece 322 and the connecting body 10. The second segment 3232 is snapped into the connecting body 10, thereby preventing the spring piece 322 from coming out of the connecting body 10 and improving the structural stability and reliability of the connector.
[0048] In one example, the connecting arm 321 is bent relative to the conductive fixing member. The connecting arm 321, the spring 322, and the fixing arm 323 are located on the same side. Taking the conductive fixing member as the pad 31 as an example, the connecting arm 321 is bent relative to the pad 31 towards the side away from the electronic component 20, that is, as shown in the example. Figure 7As shown, electronic component 20 is positioned above pad 31, and connecting arm 321 is bent downwards relative to pad 31. Connecting arm 321, spring tab 322, and fixing arm 323 are all located below pad 31 to prevent interference between them and electronic component 20. Alternatively, connecting arm 321, spring tab 322, and fixing arm 323 can all be positioned above pad 31, with electronic component 20 positioned below. Spring tab 322 is located between the first segment 3231 and connecting arm 321. A gap is provided between spring tab 322 and the side of connecting body 10 used for mounting spring tab 322 to ensure sufficient deformation space when spring tab 322 is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation. Furthermore, to further improve assembly reliability and external aesthetics, spring tab 322 is parallel to the side of connecting body 10 used for mounting spring tab 322.
[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the spring 322 includes a first spring 3221 and a second spring 3222. The connecting body has a first side 12 and a second side 13, which are opposite to each other. The first spring 3221 is close to and parallel to the first side 12, and the second spring 3222 is close to and parallel to the second side 13. The first spring 3221 is used to connect with the first component to be connected (i.e.,...). Figures 2-4 The middle frame 41 shown is connected, and the second spring 3222 is used to connect with the second part to be connected (i.e., Figures 2-4 The battery compartment 42 shown is connected to electrically connect the electronic component 20 between the first and second components to be connected.
[0050] In some embodiments, the segments of the connecting portion 30 are connected by a rounded transition. That is, as shown in the figure... Figure 7 As shown, the first segment 3231 and the second segment 3232, the second segment 3232 and the spring piece 322, the spring piece 322 and the connecting arm 321, and the connecting arm and the pad 31 are all connected by arc transitions to avoid bending and stress concentration that could lead to breakage, thereby improving the structural stability of the connection part 30.
[0051] In some embodiments, the spring 322 is provided with a contact portion protruding from the surface of the spring 322. The contact portion may be, for example, a spring point 3223. In other examples, the contact portion may also be a bump, a curved protrusion, or other structures. Figure 7As shown, the spring piece 322 is used to contact the component to be connected, and the contact portion is set as spring point 3223. The side of the connecting body 10 on which the spring piece 322 is installed is recessed towards the interior of the connecting body 10 to form a relief portion 14. The relief portion 14 forms a relief space. The relief space can avoid the spring point 3223 and the area around the spring point 3223 when the spring piece 322 is squeezed, so as to avoid the spring piece 322 being squeezed and deformed, which would cause the connecting body 10 to be worn. It also avoids the connecting body 10 interfering with the displacement generated when the spring piece 322 is connected to the component to be connected.
[0052] In one example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the spring 322 includes a first spring 3221 and a second spring 3222. The connecting body 10 has a first side 12 and a second side 13 facing away from each other. The first spring 3221 is disposed on the first side 12 and the second spring 3222 is disposed on the second side 13. The first side 12 of the connecting body 10 is recessed toward the interior of the connecting body 10 to form a first clearance portion 141, and the second side 13 of the connecting body 10 is recessed toward the interior of the connecting body 10 to form a second clearance portion 142.
[0053] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 11 is filled with a sealing isolation layer. For example... Figures 5-6 As shown, a sealing isolation layer (not shown) covers the electronic component 20, thereby isolating and protecting it to ensure that liquids do not enter or corrode the electronic component 20 after soldering, thus improving the safety and reliability of the connector. The sealing isolation layer can be formed by dispensing, injection, or other methods. The material of the sealing isolation layer can be selected from flexible insulating materials such as epoxy resin, silicone, or rubber to improve sealing and safety. Of course, it is understood that the specific process and material of the sealing isolation layer can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose excessive limitations in this regard.
[0054] In some embodiments, the connecting body 10 includes an adsorption plane 15. For example... Figures 4-6 As shown, the adsorption plane 15 is the top surface of the connecting body 10, that is, the plane on the connecting body 10 that is connected to the first side 12 and the second side 13 respectively. When the connector needs to be installed on an electronic device, a driving mechanism (not shown in the figure) can be used to adsorb the adsorption plane 15 of the connecting body 10 for adsorption gripping, movement and positioning installation. The driving mechanism can grip the connecting body 10 by negative pressure adsorption, or the adsorption plane 15 can be set as a magnetic part, or partially set as a metal part, to grip the connecting body 10 by magnetic adsorption.
[0055] According to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 2-7As shown, this disclosure provides an electronic device including a mid-frame 41 and a battery compartment 42. The mid-frame 41 and / or the battery compartment 42 are provided with a mounting groove 43 for mounting a connector as described in the above embodiments. In one example, the size of the mounting groove 43 may be slightly larger than the size of the connector, and the connector is sealed within the mounting groove 43 to improve electrical connection reliability. In another example, the size of the mounting groove 43 may be slightly smaller than the size of the connector, and the connector is mounted in the mounting groove 43 with an interference fit to prevent connector movement and improve electrical connection stability. The connector includes a connecting body 10 and an electronic component 20. The connecting body 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11, the size of which is larger than the size of the electronic component 20, so that the electronic component 20 can be disposed within the receiving groove 11. The connector also includes a connecting assembly, which includes at least two connecting portions 30. One of the at least two connecting portions 30 is connected to the mid-frame 41, and the other of the at least two connecting portions 30 is connected to the battery compartment 42 to electrically connect the electronic component 20 between the mid-frame 41 and the battery compartment 42.
[0056] The electronic component 20 in the connector is electrically connected to the middle frame 41 and the battery compartment 42 respectively via a connecting assembly. The middle frame 41 is equipped with an antenna (the middle frame is a metal structure), i.e., a middle frame antenna. The electronic component 20, as part of the antenna's tuning circuit, enables the adjustment of the radio frequency band of the middle frame antenna. The electronic component 20 is electrically connected to the battery compartment 42 and the middle frame 41 respectively via two connecting parts 30 of the connector, thus connecting the electronic component 20 to the tuning circuit.
[0057] In some embodiments, the mounting slot 43 is disposed on the mid-frame 41 and / or the battery compartment 42. In one example, the mounting slot 43 is disposed on the mid-frame 41 of the electronic device. In another example, the mounting slot 43 is disposed on the battery compartment 42 of the electronic device. In yet another example, the mounting slot 43 is disposed on both the mid-frame 41 and the battery compartment 42 of the electronic device. Of course, it is understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not impose excessive restrictions on the specific placement of the mounting slot 43, and those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to actual design and avoidance needs.
[0058] In one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting slot 43 is disposed on the battery compartment 42 of the electronic device. A complete mounting slot 43 is machined on the side wall of the battery compartment 42, and an opening is machined on the side of the mounting slot 43 near the middle frame 41. The spring contact of the connector for electrical connection with the middle frame can pass through the opening and abut against the middle frame to achieve electrical connection. At the same time, when the mounting slot 43 is disposed on the middle frame 41, the treatment of the side of the mounting slot 43 near the battery compartment 42 is the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0059] In one example (not shown in the figure, see reference) Figure 2 (Referring to the attached reference numerals) When the mounting groove 43 is disposed on the middle frame 41 and the battery compartment 42 of the electronic device, the mounting groove 43 includes a first groove disposed on the middle frame 41 and a second groove disposed on the outer wall of the battery compartment 42. The first groove and the second groove surround to form the mounting groove 43, so that the connector is disposed between the middle frame 41 and the battery compartment 42 and electrically connected to the middle frame 41 and the battery compartment 42 respectively.
[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 43 can be obtained on the outer wall of the middle frame 41 and / or the battery compartment 42 by milling, etching, or other methods. This disclosure does not impose excessive restrictions on the specific processing method of the mounting groove 43; those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.
[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic device may be provided with multiple mounting slots. When the performance requirements of the mid-frame antenna are different, multiple mounting slots can be provided on the electronic device according to actual needs to install multiple connectors, so as to realize the series, parallel and mixed connection between electronic components in the antenna tuning circuit, and design different tuning circuits to meet different design needs. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to actual production design requirements, and the embodiments disclosed herein do not impose too many limitations on this.
[0062] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the embodiments disclosed herein. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the following claims.
[0063] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures already described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
