Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrical connectors, and more specifically, to an electrical connection structure and an electrical connector. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as electronic equipment and electrical devices, electrical connection structures are key components for achieving conductive connections between different electrical connection parts, and their performance directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire device or apparatus.

[0003] Existing electrical connection structures typically include a connector body and an elastic part disposed on and electrically connected to the connector body. The connector body is used to achieve electrical connection with a first electrical connection component. An electrical connection groove is formed between the elastic parts for a second electrical connection component to be inserted. By inserting the second electrical connection component into the electrical connection groove and contacting the elastic part, electrical conduction between the first and second electrical connection components is achieved.

[0004] However, in the production process of electrical connection structures, the electroplating process is crucial for improving their conductivity and corrosion resistance. This process often requires processing multiple electrical connection structures together. Because the design of the slots formed between the elastic parts in existing electrical connection structures does not consider the need to prevent mis-insertion, during electroplating, the elastic part of one electrical connection structure can easily insert into the slot of another, or the two may become entangled. Since the elastic parts themselves are elastic, the insertion generates interaction forces, making it difficult to separate these electrical connection structures. This not only affects the normal operation of the electroplating process and reduces production efficiency, but may also damage the elastic parts during separation, affecting the subsequent performance of the electrical connection structure and increasing production costs.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating relative importance or the number of technical features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. The specific implementation of this utility model is described in more detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an electrical connection structure, comprising:

[0033] The connector 1 includes a first elastic part 2 and a second elastic part 3 disposed on and electrically connected to the connector 1. The connector 1 is used for electrical connection with a first electrical connection component. The first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3 are spaced apart and an electrical connection groove 10 for the second electrical connection component to be inserted is formed between them. The first elastic part 2 is provided with a first limiting part 4 on the side near the second elastic part 3, and the second elastic part 3 is provided with a second limiting part 5 on the side near the first elastic part 2. A limiting groove 20 is formed between the first limiting part 4 and the second limiting part 5. The groove opening size of the limiting groove 20 is smaller than the thickness of either the first elastic part 2 or the second elastic part 3.

[0034] The electrical connection structure consists of a connector 1, a first elastic part 2, a second elastic part 3, a first limiting part 4, and a second limiting part 5;

[0035] Among them, the connecting base 1 serves as the structural foundation, providing an installation carrier for other components and undertaking the electrical connection function with the first electrical connection component; the first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3 are both disposed on the connecting base 1 and are electrically connected to the connecting base 1. They are arranged at intervals to form an electrical connection groove 10 for the second electrical connection component to be inserted, which is a key contact component for realizing current conduction; the first limiting part 4 and the second limiting part 5 are respectively located on the side of the first elastic part 2 near the second elastic part 3 and the side of the second elastic part 3 near the first elastic part 2, respectively, and are arranged opposite each other to form a limiting groove 20. The groove opening size of the limiting groove 20 is smaller than the thickness of either the first elastic part 2 or the second elastic part 3, forming a physical barrier to prevent misinsertion.

[0036] Its working principle is as follows: After the connecting base 1 establishes an electrical connection with the first electrical connection component, when the second electrical connection component is inserted into the electrical connection slot 10, it contacts the first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3, and the first electrical connection component and the second electrical connection component are electrically connected through the conductive path between the elastic part and the connecting base 1.

[0037] In processes such as electroplating where multiple electrical connection structures need to be processed in a concentrated manner, because the opening size of the limiting groove 20 is smaller than the thickness of either the first elastic part 2 or the second elastic part 3, the elastic parts of other electrical connection structures will be blocked by the limiting groove 20 when they attempt to insert. The first limiting part 4 and the second limiting part 5 form physical interference through size restriction, preventing the external elastic parts from penetrating into the electrical connection groove 10, thus avoiding jamming between different structures due to the mutual insertion of elastic parts.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem of difficulty in separating multiple electrical connection structures in the electroplating process due to the mutual insertion or entanglement of elastic parts is effectively solved, reducing process interruption time and improving production efficiency; avoiding pulling and squeezing damage to the elastic parts during separation, ensuring the original performance of the structure, and reducing the production cost increased due to component damage; the limiting groove 20 only restricts the misinsertion of the external structure and does not hinder the normal insertion of the second electrical connection component, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection function; through the simple design of adding a limiting part on the side of the elastic part, the anti-misinsertion function can be achieved without complex mechanisms, which is easy to process and manufacture and adaptable to existing production processes.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first elastic portion 2 includes a first elastic segment 21, a second elastic segment 22, and a third elastic segment 23 connected in sequence. The first elastic segment 21 is connected to the connecting base 1. The second elastic segment 22 extends obliquely from the first elastic segment 21 along a direction close to the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. The third elastic segment 23 extends obliquely from the second elastic segment 22 along a direction away from the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. The second elastic portion 3 includes a fourth elastic segment 31, a fifth elastic segment 32, and a sixth elastic segment 33 connected in sequence. The fourth elastic segment 31 is connected to the connecting base 1. The fifth elastic segment 32 extends obliquely from the fourth elastic segment 31 along a direction close to the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. The sixth elastic segment 33 extends obliquely from the fifth elastic segment 32 along a direction away from the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. A first connecting portion 24 is formed between the second elastic segment 22 and the third elastic segment 23. A second connecting portion 34 is formed between the fifth elastic segment 32 and the sixth elastic segment 33. An electrical connection groove 10 is formed between the first connecting portion 24 and the second connecting portion 34.

[0040] Specifically, the first elastic part 2 is composed of a first elastic segment 21, a second elastic segment 22 and a third elastic segment 23 connected in sequence. The first elastic segment 21 is connected to the connecting base 1 and serves as the basic support for the first elastic part 2. The second elastic segment 22 extends from the first elastic segment 21 and extends obliquely along the direction close to the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. The third elastic segment 23 extends from the second elastic segment 22 and extends obliquely along the direction away from the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. A first connecting part 24 is formed between the second elastic segment 22 and the third elastic segment 23. The structure of the second elastic part 3 corresponds to that of the first elastic part 2, including a fourth elastic segment 31, a fifth elastic segment 32 and a sixth elastic segment 33 connected in sequence. The fourth elastic segment 31 is connected to the connecting base 1. The fifth elastic segment 32 extends inclinedly from the fourth elastic segment 31 toward the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. The sixth elastic segment 33 extends inclinedly from the fifth elastic segment 32 toward the direction away from the interior of the electrical connection groove 10. A second connecting part 34 is formed between the fifth elastic segment 32 and the sixth elastic segment 33. The electrical connection groove 10 for the second electrical connection component to be inserted is formed between the first connecting part 24 and the second connecting part 34.

[0041] This segmented, inclined structural design allows the first elastic section 2 and the second elastic section 3 to have more flexible elastic deformation capabilities. When the second electrical connection component is inserted into the electrical connection groove 10 formed by the first connecting section 24 and the second connecting section 34, the second elastic section 22 and the fifth elastic section 32 will undergo adaptive deformation due to the insertion force, forming a clamping force on the second electrical connection component through their own elasticity, ensuring stable contact between the two to achieve electrical conduction. Meanwhile, the inclined extension of the third elastic section 23 and the sixth elastic section 33 away from the interior of the electrical connection groove 10 provides a buffer space for the deformation of the second elastic section 22 and the fifth elastic section 32, avoiding excessive deformation that could lead to elastic failure. At the same time, because the inclination directions of each elastic section are coordinated, the entrance and internal dimensions of the electrical connection groove 10 are adapted to the second electrical connection component, facilitating insertion and ensuring tight contact.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic buffering capacity of the first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3 is enhanced, reducing mechanical wear during the insertion and removal of the second electrical connection component and extending the service life of the structure; the clamping force of the second elastic segment 22 and the fifth elastic segment 32 on the second electrical connection component is more uniform, improving the stability of the electrical connection and reducing the risk of poor contact; the orderly connection and inclined design of each elastic segment make the shape of the electrical connection groove 10 more in line with the insertion and removal requirements, facilitating the smooth insertion and removal of the second electrical connection component and improving the ease of operation; in addition, this structure, in conjunction with the previous limiting part design, can still play a role in preventing misinsertion through the limiting groove 20 while ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection, ensuring the smooth progress of processes such as electroplating.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 24 and the second connecting portion 34 are arc transition structures.

[0044] Specifically, the first connecting part 24 serves as the connecting area between the second elastic segment 22 and the third elastic segment 23 in the first elastic part 2, and the second connecting part 34 serves as the connecting area between the fifth elastic segment 32 and the sixth elastic segment 33 in the second elastic part 3. Both adopt a rounded transition rather than a right angle or acute angle connection. That is, the connecting part achieves the connection of the two elastic segments through a smooth curve, forming an arc-shaped structure without obvious edges.

[0045] When the second electrical connection component is inserted into the electrical connection groove 10 formed by the first connecting part 24 and the second connecting part 34, the arc transition structure allows the contact between the second electrical connection component and the connecting part to change from "point contact" or "line contact" to a softer "surface contact". During insertion and removal, the arc surface can disperse contact stress, avoiding wear and scratches on the second electrical connection component or the connecting part itself due to excessive local stress; at the same time, the smooth arc structure reduces the mechanical resistance during insertion and removal, allowing the second electrical connection component to enter or exit the electrical connection groove 10 more smoothly, reducing the impact on the deformation of the elastic part during operation. In addition, since the first connecting part 24 and the second connecting part 34 are the key fulcrums for the deformation of the elastic part, the arc transition can optimize the force flow transmission path when the elastic segment is subjected to force, making the deformation of the second elastic segment 22, the fifth elastic segment 32, etc., more uniform when clamping the second electrical connection component, avoiding stress concentration at the connection part, which can lead to elastic fatigue or fracture.

[0046] By adopting the above technical solutions, the durability of the components is improved. The rounded transition reduces hard friction and scratching between the connecting part and the second electrical connection component, reducing the wear rate of both and extending the service life of the electrical connection structure. The stability of the structure is enhanced. By optimizing the force flow transmission, the elastic part is less likely to fail due to stress concentration during long-term insertion, removal or clamping, ensuring the continuous reliability of the electrical connection. The user experience is improved. The insertion and removal resistance is reduced, making the installation and removal of the second electrical connection component more convenient, especially suitable for scenarios requiring frequent maintenance. In conjunction with the design of the limiting part and multi-segment elastic section, the overall structure's adaptability and safety are further improved on the basis of preventing misinsertion and high elasticity, ensuring stable functioning in electroplating processes and daily use.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first limiting part 4 is located on the first connecting part 24, and the second limiting part 5 is located on the second connecting part 34.

[0048] Specifically, the first connecting part 24 serves as the connection area between the second elastic segment 22 and the third elastic segment 23 in the first elastic part 2, and the second connecting part 34 serves as the connection area between the fifth elastic segment 32 and the sixth elastic segment 33 in the second elastic part 3. Together, they constitute the key contact section of the electrical connection groove 10. The placement of the first limiting part 4 and the second limiting part 5 here means that the limiting structure and the core contact structure of the electrical connection are spatially integrated, eliminating the need for an additional independent mounting carrier for the limiting part, thus making the overall structure more compact.

[0049] When the second electrical connection component is inserted into the electrical connection slot 10, its contact with the first connection part 24 and the second connection part 34 is the core link to achieve electrical conduction. The limiting groove 20 formed by the limiting part on the connection part is located at the front end of the entrance of the electrical connection slot 10. At this time, the groove opening size of the limiting groove 20 is smaller than that of the electrical connection slot 10. When other elastic parts of the electrical connection structure attempt to be inserted, the limiting part on the connection part can directly form a physical block. Since the connection part is the fulcrum area for the deformation of the elastic part, the structural strength is high. The limiting part can enhance its impact resistance with the support of the connection part, avoiding deformation or damage due to blocking external forces.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 In one embodiment, the electrical connection structure is defined with an axis X, the insertion direction of the second electrical connection component is parallel to the axis X, the number of first limiting parts 4 is two, and the two first limiting parts 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first connecting part 24 based on the axis X; the number of second limiting parts 5 is two, and the two second limiting parts 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second connecting part 34 based on the axis X.

[0051] Specifically, the electrical connection structure defines an axis X, which is parallel to the insertion direction of the second electrical connection component and serves as the reference for the layout of the limiting parts. There are two first limiting parts 4, respectively located on both sides of the first connecting part 24, and symmetrically distributed about the axis X. Correspondingly, there are also two second limiting parts 5, symmetrically located on both sides of the second connecting part 34, also with the axis X as the center of symmetry. This symmetrical structure allows the limiting groove 20 to form a uniformly distributed blocking area on both sides of the axis X, and the entire structure remains coaxial with the central axis X of the electrical connection groove 10.

[0052] When the second electrical connection component is inserted into the electrical connection groove 10 in a direction parallel to the axis X, the limiting groove 20 formed by the two first limiting parts 4 and the two second limiting parts 5, which are symmetrical about the axis X, maintains symmetrical spatial dimensions on the insertion path. This prevents the insertion of the second electrical connection component from being obstructed, ensuring smooth insertion. In processes such as electroplating, if the elastic part of another electrical connection structure attempts to insert into the electrical connection groove 10 of this structure, the symmetrically distributed limiting parts can simultaneously form a barrier from both sides of the axis X. Regardless of which direction the external elastic part deviates from, it will be restricted by the corresponding limiting part, avoiding misinsertion due to failure of a single limiting part. Simultaneously, the symmetrical layout ensures that the reaction forces of the limiting parts on both sides balance each other when the first connection part 24 and the second connection part 34 are subjected to force, reducing structural deformation caused by excessive local force.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first limiting part 4 and the second limiting part 5 are stamped structures.

[0054] Specifically, the stamping structure means that the first limiting part 4 and the second limiting part 5 are integrally formed onto the corresponding connecting parts (first connecting part 24 and second connecting part 34) through a stamping process. Specifically, pressure is applied to the substrate containing the first connecting part 24 and the second connecting part 34 using a mold, causing the material to undergo plastic deformation and form a protruding, bent, or specifically shaped limiting structure, rather than being fixed through secondary processing methods such as welding or bonding. This process results in a seamless, integral structure between the limiting part and the connecting part, possessing high structural integrity and controllable dimensional accuracy, ensuring that the opening size of the limiting groove 20 is consistently smaller than the opening size of the electrical connection groove 10.

[0055] Because the stamped limiting part is integrally formed with the connecting part, its structural strength is significantly improved. During the electroplating process, when the elastic part of other electrical connection structures attempts to insert into the electrical connection groove 10, the stamped limiting part can stably play a blocking role due to its high rigidity and deformation resistance, preventing the anti-misinsertion function from failing due to deformation of the limiting part under force. At the same time, the stamping process can precisely control the shape and size of the limiting part (such as height, thickness, tilt angle, etc.), ensuring that it forms a precise fit with the insertion path of the second electrical connection component. It will not hinder normal insertion due to excessive size, nor will it fail due to insufficient size, thus ensuring the anti-misinsertion effect while maintaining the smooth insertion and removal of the second electrical connection component.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first limiting part 4 is located on the second elastic segment 22; the second limiting part 5 is located on the fifth elastic segment 32.

[0057] Specifically, the first limiting part 4 is directly disposed on the second elastic segment 22 of the first elastic part 2, while the second limiting part 5 is disposed on the fifth elastic segment 32 of the second elastic part 3. This positional arrangement matches the functional characteristics of the limiting part and the elastic segment.

[0058] In one embodiment, the electrical connection structure further includes a connector 6 connected to the connector body 1.

[0059] Specifically, the connector 6 is directly connected to the connector body 1. Its specific form can be designed as a snap-fit, bolt post, welded pin, plug-in terminal, etc., according to actual installation requirements. The connection method between the connector 6 and the connector body 1 can be integral molding (such as stamping or injection molding with the same material as the connector body 1) or detachable connection (such as fixing by thread, snap-fit, etc.). However, regardless of the form, it does not affect the electrical connection relationship between the connector body 1 and the first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3, nor does it change the core structural parameters of the electrical connection groove 10 and the limiting groove 20.

[0060] The core function of connector 6 is to fix or connect the electrical connection structure to an external carrier (such as a device housing, circuit board, mounting bracket, etc.). When the electrical connection structure needs to be integrated into the overall device, connector 6 can form a stable connection with the external carrier through its own structure, ensuring that the connector body 1, the first elastic part 2, and the second elastic part 3 maintain stable positions when the second electrical connection component is inserted or removed or when subjected to external impact, thus avoiding electrical connection failure due to overall displacement. Furthermore, if connector 6 is designed as a conductive structure, it can also help expand the electrical connection path.

[0061] In one embodiment, the first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3 are electroplated structures.

[0062] Specifically, an electroplated structure means that the surfaces or the entirety of the first elastic part 2 and the second elastic part 3 are coated using an electroplating process. The substrate is typically a metal material with good elasticity (such as phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, etc.), while the coating is made of a metal with excellent conductivity and strong corrosion resistance (such as gold, silver, nickel, etc.). In some cases, multi-layer electroplating may be used (e.g., first plating nickel as a base and then plating gold). The coating evenly covers the surface of the elastic part, especially the area in contact with the second electrical connection component and easily worn areas, and the coating thickness must be precisely controlled to avoid affecting the deformation capacity of the elastic part.

[0063] The core function of electroplating is to optimize electrical connection performance and structural durability. In terms of conductivity, the plating metal (such as gold) has a higher conductivity than the base material, reducing the contact resistance between the elastic part and the second electrical connection component, minimizing energy loss during current transmission, and improving the stability of the electrical connection. Regarding wear resistance and corrosion prevention, the plating isolates the base material from corrosive media such as air and moisture, preventing performance degradation of the elastic part due to oxidation and corrosion. Simultaneously, the high hardness of the plating (such as nickel plating) reduces wear caused by friction during insertion and removal, maintaining the structural integrity of the elastic part and ensuring that its elastic deformation capability remains unaffected during long-term use. Furthermore, a uniform plating improves the surface smoothness of the elastic part, reducing frictional resistance during insertion and removal and minimizing scratching of the second electrical connection component.

[0064] Secondly, an electrical connector is provided, including a connector body and the aforementioned electrical connection structure, wherein the electrical connection structure is disposed on the connector body.

[0065] By adopting the above technical solution, based on the advantages of the electrical connection structure of the above embodiments, the electrical connector of this embodiment can also prevent errors between each other in the processing steps and improve manufacturing efficiency.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
