Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a connector, a fixing structure, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic devices often require the casing to be fixed together with other components, such as the casing, circuit board, and base. This can be achieved by creating pre-drilled threaded holes on the inside or outside of the casing, then passing screws through the base and circuit board and tightening them into the threaded holes. However, this is affected by the casing manufacturing process, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when forming a stud on a metal casing, it is necessary to stretch the entire convex strip 1' in the stretching direction. The convex strip 1' forms a threaded hole. Then, the excess part of the convex strip 1' in the stretching direction is removed by subsequent machining. However, this results in higher raw material costs and higher subsequent machining costs, leading to a larger overall cost. Utility Model Content

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 This utility model embodiment provides a connector 10 for connecting a first component to be installed 20 and at least one second component to be installed 30.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, specifically, the connector 10 includes a first connecting portion 11, a second connecting portion 12, and a snap-fit ​​portion 13. The second connecting portion 12 is connected to the first connecting portion 11 and bent relative to it. The snap-fit ​​portion 13 is connected to the first connecting portion 11 and / or the second connecting portion 12. The first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are configured to face different sides of the first component to be installed 20. The first component to be installed 20 has a first mounting hole 201, and the first connecting portion 11 is connected to the first component to be installed 20 through the first mounting hole 201. The second connecting portion 12 is configured to be located between the first component to be installed 20 and the second component to be installed 30. The second component to be installed 30 has a second mounting hole 301, and the second component to be installed 30 is connected to the second connecting portion 12 through the second mounting hole 301. The snap-fit ​​portion 13 snaps into the second component to be installed 30.

[0039] Understandably, when using connector 10 to connect the first component to be installed 20 and the second component to be installed 30, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12 can be placed on different sides of the first component to be installed 20. This allows the first connecting part 11 to connect to the first component to be installed 20 through the first mounting hole 201, and the snap-fit ​​part 13 to snap-fit ​​with the second component to be installed 30, thus positioning the second component to be installed 30. The second connecting part 12 can be located between the first component to be installed 20 and the second component to be installed 30, allowing it to connect to the second component to be installed 30 through the second mounting hole 301, thereby connecting the first component to be installed 20 and the second component to be installed 30. Only the first mounting hole 201 needs to be opened on the first component to be installed 20, and the second mounting hole 301 needs to be opened on the second component to be installed 30 to achieve the connection between the first component to be installed 20 and the second component to be installed 30 via connector 10. This eliminates the need to stretch and form a protrusion on the first component to be installed 20 and then further process the protrusion to remove excess material, which helps reduce raw material and processing costs and reduces processing complexity.

[0040] For example, the second connecting portion 12 is bent relative to the first connecting portion 11, and the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are set at an included angle. Specifically, the included angle between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, the included angle between the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 can be 80°, 90°, 100°, etc.

[0041] For example, the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are configured to face different sides of the first component to be installed 20. For instance, the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 may face adjacent sides of the first component to be installed 20. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting part 11 faces the first part to be installed 20 along the X direction, and the second connecting part 12 faces the first part to be installed 20 along the Z direction.

[0042] For example, the first component to be installed 20 includes a first housing 21.

[0043] For example, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first component to be installed 20 includes a first housing 21, which includes a connecting plate 211 and two side plates 212. The two side plates 212 are disposed opposite to each other on the outer periphery of the connecting plate 211, and the connecting plate 211 and the two side plates 212 enclose a receiving cavity. The side plates 212 are provided with a first mounting hole 201, and a first connecting portion 11 is disposed facing the side plate 212 and connected to the side plate 212 through the first mounting hole 201. A second connecting portion 12 is disposed facing the connecting plate 211, and is located between the first housing 21 and the second component to be installed 30. The second connecting portion 12 is connected to the second housing 32 through the second mounting hole 301.

[0044] Optionally, the second component to be installed 30 may be one or more.

[0045] For example, the second component to be installed 30 includes at least one of a circuit board 31 and a second housing 32.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second component to be installed 30 includes a circuit board 31 and a second housing 32. Both the circuit board 31 and the second housing 32 are provided with second mounting holes 301. The second connecting part 12 can be connected to the circuit board 31 and the second housing 32 through the second mounting holes 301 of the circuit board 31 and the second mounting holes 301 of the second housing 32. The circuit board 31 is located between the first component to be installed 20 and the second housing 32. The snap-fit ​​part 13 can at least snap the circuit board 31, realizing the positioning of the circuit board 31 relative to the connecting part 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first component to be installed 20 includes a first housing 21, and the second component to be installed 30 includes a circuit board 31 and a second housing 32. The circuit board 31 and the second housing 32 are connected to the first housing 21 via a connector 10. The circuit board 31 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​portion 13.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 11 is provided with a first connecting hole 1101, and the first fastener 40 passes through the first mounting hole 201 and the first connecting hole 1101 to fasten the first component to be installed 20 and the first connecting portion 11. The second connecting portion 12 is provided with a second connecting hole 1201, and the second fastener 50 passes through the second mounting hole 301 and the second connecting hole 1201 to fasten the second component to be installed 30 and the second connecting portion 12. It can be understood that the first connecting portion 11 and the first component to be installed 20 are connected by the first fastener 40 to improve the connection stability of the first connecting portion 11 and the first component to be installed 20, and the second connecting portion 12 and the second component to be installed 30 are connected by the second fastener 50 to provide connection stability of the second connecting portion 12 and the second component to be installed 30.

[0049] For example, the first fastener 40 includes rivets, screws, bolts, etc.

[0050] For example, the second fastener 50 includes rivets, screws, bolts, etc.

[0051] In other embodiments, the first connecting part 11 can also be connected to the first component to be installed 20 by snapping into the first mounting hole 201, and the second connecting part 12 can also be connected to the second component to be installed 30 by snapping into the second mounting hole 301.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first connecting hole 1101 and the second connecting hole 1201 are threaded holes, the first fastener 40 is threaded to the first connecting hole 1101, so that the first fastener 40 and the first connecting part 11 are stably connected, and the second fastener 50 is threaded to the second connecting hole 1201, so that the second fastener 50 and the first connecting part 11 are stably connected.

[0053] For example, the first mounting hole 201 can be a threaded hole or a non-threaded hole. For instance, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the first mounting hole 201 of the first housing 21 is a non-threaded hole. The head of the first fastener 40 can be engaged with the first mounting hole 201, and the rod of the first fastener 40 can pass through the first connecting hole 1101 and be threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 1101, thereby realizing the connection between the first housing 21 and the first connecting part 11.

[0054] For example, the second mounting hole 301 can be a threaded hole or a non-threaded hole. For instance, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the second mounting hole 301 of the circuit board 31 and the second mounting hole 301 of the second housing 32 are both non-threaded holes. The head of the second fastener 50 can be engaged with the second mounting hole 301 of the second housing 32. The rod of the second fastener 50 can pass through the second mounting hole 301 of the second housing 32 and the second mounting hole 301 of the circuit board 31 and then be threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 1201 of the second connecting part 12, thereby realizing the connection of the circuit board 31, the second housing 32 and the second connecting part 12.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 11 includes a first stud 111 and a first body 112 connected to the outer periphery of the first stud 111, and the second connecting portion 12 includes a second stud 121 and a second body 122 connected to the outer periphery of the second stud 121. The first body 112 and the second body 122 are connected, and the second body 122 is bent relative to the first body 112. The first stud 111 protrudes from the first body 112 and has a first connecting hole 1101. A first fastener 40 is threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 1101. The second stud 121 protrudes from the second body 122 and has a second connecting hole 1201. A second fastener 50 is threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 1201. Understandably, the first connecting hole 1101 and the second connecting hole 1201 are threaded holes. The first stud 111 protrudes from the first body 112, increasing the connection area between the first fastener 40 and the first connecting hole 1101, and enhancing the connection stability between the first fastener 40 and the first connecting part 11. The second stud 121 protrudes from the second body 122, increasing the connection area between the second fastener 50 and the second connecting hole 1201, and enhancing the connection stability between the second fastener 50 and the second connecting part 12.

[0056] For example, a first connecting hole 1101 extends through both opposite sides of a first stud 111, a first body 112 is connected to the outer periphery of the first stud 111, and the first stud 111 protrudes from the first body 112 along the diameter direction of the first connecting hole 1101. A second connecting hole 1201 extends through both opposite sides of a second stud 121, a second body 122 is connected to the outer periphery of the second stud 121, and the second stud 121 protrudes from the second body 122 along the diameter direction of the second connecting hole 1201.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first body 112 and the second body 122 enclose a receiving space 1102. The first stud 111 protrudes from the side of the first body 112 facing the receiving space 1102, and the second stud 121 protrudes from the side of the second body 122 away from the receiving space 1102. This allows the connecting portion to be located inside the first mounting member 20 and the second mounting member 30, resulting in a more compact connection between the first mounting member 20 and the second mounting member 30.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first component to be installed 20 includes a first housing 21, and the second component to be installed 30 includes a circuit board 31 and a second housing 32. The connecting part can be located within the space enclosed by the first housing 21 and the second housing 32, making the first housing 21 and the second housing 32 more compact and helping to achieve dust and water resistance. The first stud 111 protrudes from the side of the first body 112 facing the accommodating space 1102, so that the first stud 111 protrudes towards the inside of the first housing 21. The head of the first fastener 40 can abut against the first housing 21, and the shank of the first fastener 40 can be threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 1101 of the first stud 111, realizing the connection between the first connecting part 11 and the first housing 21. The second stud 121 protrudes from the side of the second body 122 away from the accommodating space 1102, allowing the second stud 121 to protrude toward the circuit board 31. The second stud 121 can pass through the second mounting hole 301 of the circuit board 31, further realizing the positioning of the circuit board 31. This facilitates the head of the second fastener 50 abutting against the second housing 32. The shank of the second fastener 50 can pass through the second mounting hole 301 of the second housing 32 and the second mounting hole 301 of the circuit board 31 and be threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 1201 of the second stud 121, thus realizing the connection between the second connecting part 12 and the circuit board 31 and the second housing 32.

[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, the first stud 111 may also protrude from the side of the first body 112 away from the receiving space 1102. The second stud 121 may also protrude from the side of the second body 122 facing the receiving space 1102.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 11, the second connecting portion 12, and the snap-fit ​​portion 13 are integrally formed to improve the connection stability between the first connecting portion 11, the second connecting portion 12, and the snap-fit ​​portion 13.

[0061] For example, the connector 10 can be formed by stamping.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second component to be installed 30 is provided with a slot 302, and the snap-fit ​​portion 13 protrudes toward the second component to be installed 30 and snaps into the slot 302 to achieve positioning of the second component to be installed 30.

[0063] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​portion 13 is interference-fitted into the slot 302, so that the second installer 30 and the snap-fit ​​portion 13 are relatively stable after snap-fitting, and are not easy to separate from the snap-fit ​​portion 13, so as to facilitate the connection between the second installer 30 and the second connecting portion 12, and improve the connection stability between the second installer 30 and the connecting portion 10.

[0064] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 13 is provided with a groove, and the second component to be installed 30 protrudes toward the snap-fit ​​portion 13 and snaps into the groove to achieve the positioning of the second component to be installed 30.

[0065] In some embodiments, a positioning groove is formed between the second connecting portion 12 and the snap-fit ​​portion 13. The positioning groove is used to snap-fit ​​the second installer 30, thereby further positioning the second installer 30.

[0066] For example, the snap-fit ​​portion 13 and the second stud 121 protrude from the side of the second body 122 away from the receiving space 1102, so that a positioning groove is formed between the snap-fit ​​portion 13 and the second stud 121. The second component to be installed 30 is snapped into the positioning groove.

[0067] Furthermore, the second installer 30 is at least partially interference-fitted with the positioning groove, making it difficult for the second installer 30 to separate from the connector 10, so as to facilitate the connection between the second installer 30 and the second connecting part 12, and improve the connection stability between the second installer 30 and the connector 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 13 is located at the junction of the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12. This is advantageous because when the first connecting portion 11 is connected to the first component to be installed 20 and the second connecting portion 12 is connected to the second component to be installed 30, the snap-fit ​​portion 13 is located at the edge of the second component to be installed 30, thus reducing the structural impact on the second component to be installed 30.

[0069] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a fixing structure, which includes a first installable part 20, a second installable part 30, and a connector 10 as described in any of the preceding embodiments. The first installable part 20 is provided with a first mounting hole 201, and the second installable part 30 is provided with a second mounting hole 301. The first installable part 20 is connected to the second installable part 30 through the connector 10. It can be understood that the fixing structure with the connector 10 described above also has all its technical effects, that is, it is only necessary to open the first installable part 201 on the first installable part 20 and the second installable part 30 on the second installable part 30 to achieve the connection between the first installable part 20 and the second installable part 30 through the connector 10. There is no need to stretch the first installable part 20 to form a protrusion and then further process the protrusion to remove the excess part, which is beneficial to reducing raw material costs and processing costs, and reducing processing complexity.

[0070] This utility model embodiment also provides an electronic device, which includes the fixing structure described above. It is understood that the electronic device with the fixing structure described above also possesses all its technical advantages, namely, the connection between the first and second components 20 and 30 only requires a first mounting hole 201 to be formed on the first component 20 and a second mounting hole 301 to be formed on the second component 30, through the connector 10. This eliminates the need to stretch the first component 20 to form a protrusion and then further process the protrusion to remove excess material, thus reducing raw material and processing costs and simplifying the manufacturing process.

[0071] For example, electronic devices include, but are not limited to, graphics cards, solid-state drives, etc.

[0072] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
