Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, specifically to a connection component and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of consumer electronics, more and more types of consumer electronics devices are emerging. For example, consumer electronics devices include the main device and external devices. When the external device and the main device are electrically connected, the external device can be used normally. When the external device is not in use, it needs to be disassembled, and when it is used, it needs to be reassembled, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, if the external device is not disassembled when not in use, it will continue to consume power, affecting the battery life of the electronic device. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a connection component that at least solves the problems of cumbersome disassembly and removal of the device body and external devices, as well as poor battery life. This application also provides an electronic device including the above-mentioned connection component.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A first electrical connector is disposed on the device body;

[0007] A second electrical connector is disposed on the external device. The second electrical connector is connected to the first electrical connector to realize the electrical connection between the device body and the external device.

[0008] The first electrical connector is retractably disposed on the device body, and / or the second electrical connector is retractably disposed on the external device, so that the first electrical connector and / or the second electrical connector can be retracted by the relative movement between the external device and the device body, thereby disconnecting the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.

[0009] Optional, including:

[0010] A slide is provided on one of the device body and the external device;

[0011] A slider is disposed on the other of the device body and the external device, and the slider can slide along the slide groove to realize relative movement between the external device and the device body;

[0012] During the relative sliding process of the slider and the groove, the slider compresses one of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector to contract, and / or the groove compresses the other of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector to contract.

[0013] Optionally, the slide is disposed on the device body, and the first electrical connector is telescopically extended or retracted on the device body via a telescopic structure, the telescopic structure comprising:

[0014] A connector is located on the side of the first electrical connector facing away from the external device, and the first electrical connector is disposed on the connector;

[0015] A limiting protrusion is provided on the connecting seat and located within the sliding groove;

[0016] An elastic element is connected to the connector and applies an elastic force through the connector to extend the first electrical connector.

[0017] Optionally, the slider includes a recess and a protrusion. When the limiting protrusion enters the recess, the first electrical connector extends to communicate with the second electrical connector; when the limiting protrusion does not enter the recess, the first electrical connector retracts to disconnect from the second electrical connector.

[0024] The connection component provided in this application has a first electrical connector retractably disposed on the device body and / or a second electrical connector retractably disposed on an external device. This allows the first and / or second electrical connectors to retract and disconnect via relative movement between the external device and the device body. By configuring the first and / or second electrical connectors as retractable structures, relative movement between the external device and the device body causes them to retract, thereby disconnecting the connection between the first and second electrical connectors and de-energizing the external device and the device body. This configuration facilitates connection between the device body and the external device, allowing for easy switching between power on and off simply through relative movement between the two devices, making operation convenient. Furthermore, when the external device is not in use, power can be de-energized simply through relative movement, and when the external device is needed, power can be restored simply through relative movement, thus improving the battery life of the external device.

[0035] This application provides a connection component that at least solves the problems of cumbersome disassembly and reassembly of the device body and external devices, as well as poor battery life. This application also provides an electronic device including the aforementioned connection component.

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

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the illustration, this application provides a connection component for connecting a device body 1 and an external device 2. The connection component enables both mechanical and electrical connections between the device body 1 and the external device 2. The connection component mainly includes a first electrical connector 3 and a second electrical connector 4. The first electrical connector 3 is disposed on the device body 1, and the second electrical connector 4 is disposed on the external device 2. The second electrical connector 4 is connected to the first electrical connector 3 to achieve the electrical connection between the device body 1 and the external device 2. In other words, when the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4 are not connected, the device body 1 and the external device 2 are in a de-energized state. The first electrical connector 3 is retractably disposed on the device body 1, and / or the second electrical connector 4 is retractably disposed on the external device 2. This includes three specific implementations: the first electrical connector 3 is retractably disposed on the device body 1; the second electrical connector 4 is retractably disposed on the external device 2; or the first electrical connector 3 is retractably disposed on the device body 1, and the second electrical connector 4 is retractably disposed on the external device 2. Here, through relative movement between the external device 2 and the device body 1, the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4 retract, thereby disconnecting the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, thus disconnecting the electrical connection between the external device 2 and the device body 1. With this configuration, when external device 2 is needed, the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4 extend relative to the movable external device 2 and device body 1, so that the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4 are connected, thereby establishing a connection between external device 2 and device body 1; when external device 2 is not needed, the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4 retract relative to the movable external device 2 and device body 1, so that the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4 are disconnected, thereby disconnecting external device 2 and device body 1; thus conveniently switching the on / off state between external device 2 and device body 1.

[0038] It should be noted that the relative movement of the device body 1 and the external device 2 is not limited here. The device body 1 and the external device 2 can rotate relative to each other, can move relative to each other, and can both rotate and move relative to each other.

[0039] It should also be noted that the specific structure of the device body 1 and the external device 2 is not limited here. For example, the device body 1 can be a mobile phone, and the corresponding external device 2 can be a shooting module; the device body 1 can be a base, and the corresponding external device 2 can be a microphone or speaker, etc.

[0040] The connection components of the above structure, by setting the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4 as a retractable structure 7, allow the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4 to retract through relative movement between the external device 2 and the device body 1, thereby disconnecting the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4 and de-energizing the external device 2 and the device body 1. This configuration facilitates the connection between the device body 1 and the external device 2, allowing for easy switching between power on and off simply through relative movement between the external device 2 and the device body 1, making operation convenient. Furthermore, when the external device 2 is not in use, power can be de-energized simply through relative movement, and when the external device 2 is needed, power can be energized simply through relative movement, thereby improving the battery life of the external device 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connecting components include a slide groove 5 and a slider 6. The slide groove 5 is disposed on one of the device body 1 and the external device 2, and the slider 6 is disposed on the other of the device body 1 and the external device 2. That is, the slide groove 5 can be disposed on the device body 1, and the corresponding slider 6 can be disposed on the external device 2; or the slide groove 5 can be disposed on the external device 2, and the corresponding slider 6 can be disposed on the device body 1. Furthermore, the slider 6 can slide along the slide groove 5, and the relative movement between the external device 2 and the device body 1 is realized through the relative sliding of the slider 6 and the slide groove 5. Specifically, during the relative sliding of slider 6 and slide groove 5, slider 6 compresses one of the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, causing that connector to contract, and / or slide groove 5 compresses the other of the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, causing that other connector to contract. In other words, the first electrical connector 3 or the second electrical connector 4 can be contracted by slider 6 compressing it, and the first electrical connector 3 or the second electrical connector 4 can be contracted by slide groove 5 compressing it. Specifically, when the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a powered-on state to a powered-off state, relative to the movable slider 6 and slide groove 5, slider 6 and / or slide groove 5 will compress the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4, causing the first electrical connector 3 and / or the second electrical connector 4 to contract, thereby separating the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, disconnecting the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, and thus disconnecting the device body 1 and the external device 2.

[0042] Furthermore, during the relative movement of the external device 2 and the device body 1, the first electrical connector 3 or the second electrical connector 4 can be contracted without being squeezed by the slider 6 or the groove 5. For example, the contraction can also occur by squeezing the first electrical connector 3 or the second electrical connector 4 through the surfaces of the external device 2 and the device body 1 that are positioned opposite each other.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The slide groove 5 is set on the device body 1, and the slider 6 is set on the external device 2. The first electrical connector 3 is telescopic on the device body 1 through the telescopic structure 7. The telescopic structure 7 includes a connecting seat 71, a limiting protrusion 72, and an elastic member 73. The connecting seat 71 is located on the side of the first electrical connector 3 away from the external device 2, and the first electrical connector 3 is set on the connecting seat 71; the limiting protrusion 72 is set on the connecting seat 71 and is located in the slide groove 5; the elastic member 73 is connected to the connecting seat 71, and the elastic member 73 applies a spring force through the connecting seat 71 to extend the first electrical connector 3. Specifically, when the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a powered-on state to a powered-off state, relative to the movable external device 2 and the device body 1, the slider 6 will slide in the slide groove 5. During the sliding process, the slider 6 will press the limiting protrusion 72 located in the slide groove 5. The limiting protrusion 72 will move away from the external device 2 together with the connecting seat 71. The first electrical connector 3 is set on the connecting seat 71, so the first electrical connector 3 will also move away from the external device 2 to achieve the retraction of the first electrical connector 3, thereby disconnecting the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, and thus achieving the power-off of the device body 1 and the external device 2. When the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a power-off state to a power-on state, the slider 6 will slide within the groove 5 relative to the movable external device 2 and the device body 1 until the slider 6 releases its pressure on the groove 5. Since the elastic element 73 applies a spring force through the connecting seat 71 to extend the first electrical connector 3, the elastic element 73 will act on the connecting seat 71 and drive the first electrical connector 3 and the limiting protrusion 72 to move together towards the side closer to the external device 2, thereby extending the first electrical connector 3 and connecting the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4, thus achieving electrical connection between the device body 1 and the external device 2. Here, the telescopic structure 7 allows for convenient retraction and extension of the first electrical connector 3.

[0044] It should be noted that the method of compressing the second electrical connector 4 to shrink the second electrical connector 4 is similar to the above embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0045] It should also be noted that the location of the elastic element 73 is not limited here; the elastic element 73 can be located on the side of the connector 71 away from the external device 2 (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the elastic element 73 can also be disposed between the connector 71 and the external device 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The slider 6 includes a recessed portion 61 and a protruding portion 62. When the limiting protrusion 72 enters the recessed portion 61, the first electrical connector 3 extends to connect with the second electrical connector 4; when the limiting protrusion 72 does not enter the recessed portion 61, the first electrical connector 3 retracts to disconnect from the second electrical connector 4. In other words, when the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a powered-on state to a powered-off state, the limiting protrusion 72 is moved out of the recessed portion 61 of the slider 6 relative to the movable external device 2 and the device body 1; when the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a powered-off state to a powered-on state, the limiting protrusion 72 is moved into the recessed portion 61 of the slider 6 relative to the movable external device 2 and the device body 1. This configuration allows for more convenient switching between the device body 1 and the external device 2.

[0047] Specifically, when the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a powered-on state to a powered-off state, the slider 6 slides relative to the slide groove 5, causing the protrusion 62 to press against the limiting protrusion 72. This causes the connecting seat 71 to move the first electrical connector 3 away from the external device 2, thereby disconnecting the connection between the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4. Conversely, when the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to switch from a powered-off state to a powered-on state, the slider 6 slides relative to the slide groove 5, releasing the pressure of the protrusion 62 on the limiting protrusion 72. Under the action of the elastic member 73, the connecting seat 71 moves the first electrical connector 3 closer to the external device 2, thereby connecting the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The slider 6 includes an inclined connecting portion 63 located between the recessed portion 61 and the protruding portion 62. When the device body 1 and the external device 2 need to be switched from a powered-on state to a powered-off state, the slider 6 slides within the groove 5, causing the inclined connecting portion 63 to press and limit the protruding portion 72, moving it away from the external device 2. This causes the connecting seat 71 to move the first electrical connector 3 away from the external device 2, thereby retracting the first electrical connector 3. By providing the inclined connecting portion 63, a smooth transition between the recessed portion 61 and the protruding portion 62 can be achieved, resulting in smoother retraction and extension of the first electrical connector 3.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The inclined connecting portion 63 and the recessed portion 61, as well as the inclined connecting portion 63 and the protruding portion 62, are all connected by an arc structure 64. By providing the aforementioned arc structure 64, the connection between the inclined connecting portion 63 and the recessed portion 61, and the connection between the inclined connecting portion 63 and the protruding portion 62, are made smoother. This makes the movement of the limiting protrusion 72 smoother when the slider 6 slides in the groove 5 and compresses it, thereby making the contraction of the first electrical connector 3 smoother, thus improving the stability of the connection assembly connecting the device body 1 and the external device 2.

[0050] Of course, the inclined connecting part 63 and the recessed part 61, as well as the inclined connecting part 63 and the protruding part 62, can also be connected in other ways. For example, the inclined connecting part 63 and the recessed part 61, as well as the inclined connecting part 63 and the protruding part 62, can be connected by multiple inclined strip planes.

[0051] In some embodiments, a guide post 74 is provided on the side of the connecting seat 71 away from the external device 2, and an elastic member 73 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 74. Specifically, since the connecting seat 71, the limiting protrusion 72, and the first electrical connector 3 can only move towards the side away from the external device 2 by transmitting extrusion pressure to the elastic member 73, and the connecting seat 71, the limiting protrusion 72, and the first electrical connector 3 can only move towards the side closer to the external device 2 by the elastic force of the elastic member 73, by providing the aforementioned guide post 74, a guiding function is played during the compression or release of the elastic member 73, so that the elastic member 73 moves in a preset direction, thereby causing the connecting seat 71, the limiting protrusion 72, and the first electrical connector 3 to move in the target direction, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the connecting seat 71, the limiting protrusion 72, and the first electrical connector 3.

[0052] Further details based on the above embodiments can be found in the following examples. Figure 2 and Figure 3 At least two guide posts 74 are provided, and the at least two guide posts 74 are equally spaced along the length of the connecting seat 71, and each guide post 74 is fitted with an elastic element 73 on its outer side. This arrangement ensures that the forces on the connecting seat 71 are balanced when the limiting protrusion 72 moves the connecting seat 71, thereby making the movement of the connecting seat 71 more stable, which in turn makes the movement of the first electrical connector 3 more stable and improves the stability of the connecting assembly structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The slide 5 is an annular slide, the slider 6 is an annular slider, and a rotating shaft 8 is provided between the device body 1 and the external device 2. That is, the device body 1 and the external device 2 achieve relative rotation via the rotating shaft 8, allowing the annular slider to slide within the annular slide. This configuration allows for convenient switching of the electrical connection between the device body 1 and the external device 2 during relative rotation, resulting in a simple structure and significant effectiveness.

[0054] Alternatively, the slide 5 can be a linear slide, and the slider 6 can also be a linear slider (not shown in the figure of this embodiment). That is, the device body 1 and the external device 2 move relative to each other to achieve the movement of the linear slider within the linear slide. This arrangement allows the electrical connection between the device body 1 and the external device 2 to be conveniently switched on and off during relative movement, resulting in a simple structure and significant effect.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Multiple first electrical connectors 3 and second electrical connectors 4 are provided to make the electrical connection between the external device 2 and the device body 1 more stable and improve the stability of the electrical connection between the two; and when some of the first electrical connectors 3 or second electrical connectors 4 are damaged, the remaining first electrical connectors 3 and second electrical connectors 4 can still achieve the connection between the external device 2 and the device body 1.

[0056] In addition, both the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4 are set as pin connectors, which refers to Pogopin connectors. This setting makes the connection between the first electrical connector 3 and the second electrical connector 4 more stable, more durable, and more adaptable to the environment.
