Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically a floating board-to-board connector. Background Technology

[0002] Although existing floating connectors are constantly being innovated and developed to basically meet people's needs, there is still room for improvement.

[0003] For example, patent document CN222483865U discloses a recessed floating plate-to-plate connector assembly, including a mounting plate and a mounting groove. The outer wall of the mounting plate is provided with a limiting mechanism, which includes a support block. The lower end of the support block is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the outer wall of the support block is fixedly connected to a first limiting frame. By manually pressing down the connecting rod, the fixing block at the end of the connecting rod slides into the inner wall of the groove on the second limiting frame. Both ends of the connecting rod continuously restrain the first and second limiting frames. The lower end of the connecting rod restricts the downward pressure and range of motion of the external component. Rubber protrusions inside both the first and second limiting frames provide a clamping effect against the external connector, effectively buffering external forces and limiting the range of motion of the external connector. It will not loosen during use and will continue to operate normally.

[0004] Although the aforementioned connector has a retaining wall and locking components on the female connector and a limiting component for the male connector, the overall structure is too complex, the production cost is high, the assembly time is long, and it still has certain inconveniences in actual use. Therefore, a floating board-to-board connector is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating board-to-board connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Although the connector has a barrier and a locking component on the female and a limit on the male, the overall structure is too complicated, the production cost is high, the assembly time is long, and there are still certain inconveniences in actual use.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a floating board-to-board connector, including a connection mechanism, wherein the connection mechanism includes a female socket and a male connector that are plugged in and plugged in; It also includes a stabilizing mechanism, which includes a frame that surrounds the female connector and is attached to the outside of the male connector; Additionally, two triangular spring holders are connected to the frame, and the protruding areas of the triangular spring holders press against the edge of the male end to form a locking position.

[0007] To achieve the above technical solution, a frame is used to cover and limit the edge of the male connector, and the convex area of ​​the triangular spring frame presses and locks the edge of the male connector, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the female and male connectors. Compared with the existing technology, the stabilizing mechanism of this device is simpler, has lower production costs, and is faster to assemble.

[0008] As a further improvement to this utility model, the female base is provided with a mounting strip hole, into which a deformable metal piece connected to the frame is inserted, and the length of the metal piece is greater than the depth of the mounting strip hole.

[0009] The above technical solution facilitates the quick fixing of the enclosure to the base.

[0010] As a further improvement to this utility model, the top of the triangular spring holder is sloped towards the female socket.

[0011] Implementing the above technical solution facilitates guiding the descending male head.

[0012] As a further improvement to this utility model, the protruding area of ​​the triangular spring holder extends toward the direction of release deformation to form a pressure plate.

[0013] To achieve the above technical solution, the compression plate is used to quickly release the pressure and locking of the male head in the protruding area of ​​the triangular spring frame.

[0014] As a further improvement to this utility model, a deformation groove is provided on the triangular spring frame at the bottom of the pressing plate.

[0015] The above technical solution facilitates the deformation of the triangular spring frame.

[0016] As a further improvement to this utility model, the frame is made of plastic components.

[0017] The above technical solutions will reduce production costs.

[0018] As a further improvement to this utility model, the number of the triangular spring holders is two, and they are symmetrically distributed along the centerline of the frame.

[0019] The above technical solution improves the stability of the triangular spring holder pressing against the male head.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a frame to cover and limit the edge of the male connector, and the convex area of ​​the triangular spring frame presses and locks the edge of the male connector, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the female and male connectors.

[0029] Example: Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides a floating board-to-board connector, which achieves a stable connection and convenient insertion / removal of the male and female connectors through an elastic structure. Its core structure and working process are as follows: In the connecting mechanism 100 The female socket 110 has a rectangular frame structure (length 30 - 50 mm × width 10 - 15 mm × height 8 - 12 mm), and internally integrates conductive terminals 111 for contact conduction with the terminals of the male head 113 (the terminals at the bottom of the male head 113 correspond one by one to the terminals of the female socket 110); mounting strip holes 112 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the female socket 110, and the hole depth is 5 - 8 mm.

[0030] In the stabilizing mechanism 200 The enclosure 210 is an insulating plastic component (PBT material), in a "mouth" shape and enclosing the outside of the socket of the female socket 110 (the clearance between the inner wall and the outside of the male head 113 is 0.3 - 0.5 mm), providing insertion and extraction guidance and preventing foreign objects from entering. Both sides of the enclosure 210 are connected to the female socket 110 through metal sheets 212. One end of the metal sheet 212 is inserted into the mounting strip hole 112 of the female socket 110 (extruded and deformed into an L shape), and the other end is integrally injection-molded with the enclosure 210; the length of the metal sheet 212 is 3 - 5 mm longer than the depth of the mounting strip hole 112 to compensate for the alignment error during insertion and extraction. The number of triangular spring plate holders 211 is 2 (symmetrically distributed along the midline of the enclosure 210). The material of the spring plate (thickness 0.2 mm), the head is in a triangular structure, used to press on the edge of the male head 113 to form an axial clamping position. At the same time, the top of the head is in a slope shape facing the socket of the female socket 110, facilitating the extrusion deformation when the male head 113 is inserted. A pressing plate 213 extends outward from the convex head area of the triangular spring plate holder 211. When pressed, it drives the deformation of the convex head area, and a deformation groove 214 is opened on the triangular spring plate holder 211 at the bottom end of the pressing plate 213 to reduce the local stiffness, so that the convex head area can generate an increased deformation stroke in the direction away from the male head 113.

[0031] The specific insertion and extraction process is as follows: Connection (male head inserted into female socket) Guidance and extrusion: The edge of the male head 113 is inserted along the inner wall of the enclosure 210, contacts the slope guiding end of the triangular spring plate holder 211 and applies an extrusion force, forcing the triangular spring plate holder 211 to elastically deform outward. Automatic clamping: After the male head 113 is completely inserted into the female socket 110, the edge crosses the convex head clamping area, and the triangular spring plate holder 211 releases elastic potential energy, and the convex head area rebounds and presses on the edge of the male head 113 to form an anti - detachment clamping position.

[0032] Extraction (male head detached from female socket) Release of clamping: Press both pressing plates 213 simultaneously, the triangular spring plate holder 211 bends along the deformation groove 214, and the convex head area deforms outward (detaching from the edge of the male head 113), completely releasing the axial block. Pull out the male head: Apply a pulling force to pull the male head 113 out of the female socket 110, and the triangular spring plate holder 211 returns to its initial state, waiting for the next connection.
