[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conductive connection equipment technology, and in particular to a foldable conductive connector and a folding frame including the connector. Background Technology

[0002] For example, on April 25, 2023, a patent with publication number CN218918407U, entitled "A Foldable Display Stand," was disclosed, which includes a middle connector. The middle connector is located in the middle of the long frame and divides the long frame into two parts. The long frame can be folded from the middle towards the inside of the display frame through the middle connector. This utility model realizes the disconnection and series connection between two lighting components through the folding and unfolding of the display stand. However, the above-mentioned document discloses the contact connection between the conductive post and the spring-connected conductive post to realize the series connection between the two lighting components. After the display stand is folded and unfolded many times, the structure at the connection point is easily damaged, which increases the cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a foldable conductive connector and a folding frame including the connector, so as to solve the problem of increased cost.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a foldable conductive connector, comprising a middle block and connecting parts hinged to both sides of the middle block. A conductive element is provided on the middle block, and a conductive flexible strip is provided inside the conductive element. The conductive flexible strip includes a connecting portion located inside the conductive element and hook ends connected to both ends of the connecting portion. The hook ends include contact portions attached to the side of the conductive element. Each connecting part is provided with a conductive spring on the side closest to the middle block, and the two conductive springs are respectively configured to cooperate with the two contact portions of the conductive flexible strip.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a foldable conductive connector includes a middle block 1 and connecting parts 2 hinged to both sides of the middle block 1 by pins 3. A conductive element 5 is provided on the middle block 1, and a conductive flexible strip 8 is provided inside the conductive element 5. The conductive flexible strip 8 includes a connecting part 9 located inside the conductive element 5 and hook ends 10 connected to both ends of the connecting part 9. The hook ends 10 include contact parts 11 attached to the side of the conductive element 5. Each connecting part 2 is provided with a conductive spring head 20 on the side near the middle block 1, and the two conductive spring heads 20 are respectively configured to cooperate with the two contact parts 11 of the conductive flexible strip 8.

[0021] When the two docking pieces 2 are unfolded, the conductive warp 20 and the contact portion 11 on the conductive flexible strip 8 come into contact. The conductive flexible strip 8 ensures the reliability of the contact between the conductive warp 20 and the conductive flexible strip 8, and facilitates the conduction of the conductive warp 20 on the two docking pieces 2. When the two docking pieces 2 are folded, the sides of the two docking pieces 2 facing each other abut against each other or abut against the middle block 1 respectively, and the conductive warp 20 and the conductive flexible strip 8 separate. The two conductive warp 20 are disconnected and connected by folding and unfolding. The conductive flexible strip 8 is not easily damaged in this way, which reduces the cost.

[0022] The hook end 10 also includes a latching hook 12, which is connected to the connecting part 9 via a contact part 11. Both sides of the conductive component 5 are provided with hook grooves 13 that cooperate with the latching hook 12. The cooperation between the hook grooves 13 and the latching hook 12 improves the stability between the conductive flexible strip 8 and the conductive base 6.

[0023] The conductive component 5 includes a conductive base 6 and a conductive cover 7 mounted on the conductive base 6. The conductive flexible strip 8 is disposed between the conductive base 6 and the conductive cover 7. The conductive base 6 is connected to the conductive cover 7 by a screw 14.

[0024] The upper end face of the conductive base 6 is provided with a lower groove 15, and the connecting part 9 is provided with a lower protrusion 16 that cooperates with the lower groove 15, which facilitates the fixation between the conductive flexible strip 8 and the conductive component 5 and reduces the probability of the conductive flexible strip 8 falling out of the conductive component 5.

[0025] The upper surface of the conductive base 6 is provided with a placement groove 24 for accommodating the connecting part 9. The hook groove 13 is located below the placement groove 24 and is provided on the side of the conductive base 6. A limiting groove 22 communicating with the hook groove 13 is provided on one side of the placement groove 24. A limiting block 23 cooperating with the limiting groove 22 is provided on the lower surface of the conductive cover 7. When it is necessary to place the conductive flexible strip 8 on the conductive base 6, the conductive flexible strip 8 is first placed in the limiting groove 22, and then moved and inserted into the hook groove 13 and the placement groove 24. Subsequently, the limiting groove 22 and the limiting block 23 cooperate to cover the conductive cover 7 on the conductive base 6, and the conductive flexible strip 8 is locked in the conductive base 6 to prevent the conductive flexible strip 8 from falling out. It also facilitates the replacement and installation of the damaged conductive flexible strip 8, and the entire conductive component 5 is replaced, which reduces the cost.

[0026] The connecting part 9 is a strip, and the hook end 10 is an arc-shaped hook.

[0027] The conductive flexible strip 8 is integrally formed and is made of conductive copper strip or FPC flexible conductive strip. The conductive copper strip has high conductivity.

[0028] Both docking parts 2 are hinged to the two sides of the intermediate block 1 by pins 3. Both ends of the pins 3 abut against the baffles 4 provided on the intermediate block 1. The two intermediate blocks 1 are provided with mating protrusions on their opposite sides. The intermediate block 1 is provided with mating grooves that mate with the mating protrusions. The baffles 4 prevent the pins 3 from disengaging and improve the stability of the connection between the docking parts 2 and the intermediate block 1.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a folding frame includes the aforementioned folding conductive connector. Each of the two connecting members 2 is provided with a profile plate 21 on one side of its opposite arrangement. An LED light strip 17 is provided on the profile plate 21, and a conductive bullet head 20 is provided on the LED light strip 17. The conductive bullet head 20 is connected to the end of the LED light strip 17 through the connecting member 2.

[0030] The electrical connection structure between the LED strips 17 on the two profile plates 21 has been optimized, so that the two LED strips 17 can be electrically connected after the two profile plates 21 are unfolded. When the two profile plates 21 are unfolded, the contact part 11 on the conductive spring 20 and the conductive flexible strip 8 are in contact. The setting of the conductive flexible strip 8 ensures the reliability of the contact between the conductive spring 20 and the conductive flexible strip 8. When the two profile plates 21 are folded, the conductive spring 20 and the conductive flexible strip 8 are separated, ensuring the safety between the two LED strips 17.

[0031] The LED light strip 17 includes a substrate 19, on which a plurality of LED beads 18 are arranged at equal intervals and connected in series. The end of the substrate 19 is provided with a conductive bullet 20 electrically connected to the LED beads 18. The substrate 19 is an aluminum plate.

[0032] The profile plate 21 is provided with a cover plate covering the LED light strip 17. The cover plate has an opening for the LED light beads 18 to extend out. The cover plate is provided to facilitate fixing the LED light strip 17 to the profile plate 21 and prevent the LED light strip 17 from becoming loose.
