Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and more particularly to a retractable connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is an electronic component used to enable detachable signals. Its core function is to enable the transmission of signals and current between devices without compromising the integrity of the signal path.

[0003] Connectors are typically used in short-distance transmission environments, such as using the portability of power banks to power personal devices that interact at close range. Using connectors as a bridge for power transmission between the two can avoid various problems such as knots and interference with the user experience caused by using wires. However, the structure of connectors is easily affected by the design of the device. For example, the iteration and updates of mobile devices have significant changes in thickness. The fixed size of the connector causes a large misalignment between the connection ports on the two devices after magnetic attraction, and ultimately the connector cannot maintain a synchronous connection with the two devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a retractable connector, which changes the spacing between the two connection ports on the connector by retracting, so as to achieve the effect of corresponding to the connection ports of the connector.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a retractable connector, comprising a connector body, the connector body having at least two plug-in portions, the plug-in portions having connection ports for data exchange and supplying power to the device, characterized in that the plug-in portions are nested and sliding, the plug-in portions having flexible circuitry for realizing electrical signal transmission between the two connection ports, the flexible circuitry having redundant portions, which are unfolded by the extension of the connector body.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] The connector body is modified into two nested sliding plugs. The sliding connection between the plugs gives the connector body a telescopic effect. The retracted and extended states change the spacing between the connector ports, ensuring that the connector ports on the connector body are relative to the connector ports on the device. At the same time, the redundant part of the flexible circuit allows the plug to meet the length requirements of the flexible circuit when it is extended. In summary, the problem of misalignment between the connector ports is solved, and electrical signal transmission is realized on terminals of different sizes.

[0008] In this specific embodiment, in the recessed state, the redundant parts of the flexible circuit are stacked, which has the advantage of lower space occupancy. The redundant parts are provided with fold lines, and the recess between the plugs makes the flexible circuits stacked in an orderly manner.

[0009] The connector includes a plug and a PCB board. The plug is mounted on the PCB board, which is built into the plug section. The plug extends out of the plug section, and the two ends of the flexible circuit are connected to the PCB board respectively.

[0010] The aforementioned flexible circuits are either flexible flat wires or FPCs.

[0011] The plug-in parts are connected by a sliding structure to achieve relative movement between them. Each plug-in part has a limiting groove on its inner surface, and the other plug-in part has a limiting block that cooperates with the limiting groove. The nesting cooperation between the two makes the limiting block set in the limiting groove. The limit position at both ends of the limiting groove restricts the movement space of the limiting block. The advantage of this design is that the adjustment process is relatively smooth. This utility model has a small volume structure, and the smoother movement reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0012] To fix the position of the PCB board, the connector has slots inside that correspond to the PCB board. The connector is a split structure assembled together. During assembly, the connector needs to be separated, the PCB board needs to be aligned with the slots, and then the two split structures need to be combined to achieve the assembly of the connector.

[0013] The best feature is that the side of the connector is sloping. This sloping angle makes it easier for the fingertips to apply downward pressure, further reducing the difficulty of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the connector. Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a retractable connector includes a connector body 1, which has at least two plug-in portions 2. Each plug-in portion 2 has a connection port 3 for data exchange and power supply to a device. The plug-in portions 2 are nested and sliding, and each plug-in portion 2 has a flexible circuit 4 for transmitting electrical signals between the two connection ports 3. The flexible circuit 4 has a redundant portion and is extended by the extension of the connector body 1.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The connector body 1 is modified into two nested sliding plug parts 2. The sliding connection between the plug parts 2 gives the connector body 1 a telescopic effect. The retracted and extended states change the spacing between the connection ports 3, ensuring that the connection ports 3 on the connector body 1 are relative to the connection ports of the device. At the same time, the redundant part of the flexible circuit 4 allows the plug part 2 to meet the length requirements of the flexible circuit 4 when it is extended. In summary, the problem of misalignment between the connection ports 3 is solved, and the transmission of electrical signals is realized on terminals of different sizes.

[0021] In this specific embodiment, in the recessed state, the redundant parts of the flexible circuit 4 are stacked, which has the advantage of lower space occupancy. The redundant parts are provided with fold lines, and the recess between the plug-in parts 2 makes the flexible circuit 4 appear to be stacked in an orderly manner.

[0022] The connector 3 includes a plug 31 and a PCB board 32. The plug 31 is disposed on the PCB board 32, which is built into the plug part 2. The plug 31 extends out of the plug part 2, and the two ends of the flexible circuit are respectively connected to the PCB board 32.

[0023] The aforementioned flexible line 4 is a flexible flat wire or an FPC.

[0024] The plug-in parts 2 are connected by a sliding structure to achieve relative movement between each other. The inner surface of any plug-in part 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21, and the other plug-in part 2 is provided with a limiting block 22 that cooperates with the limiting groove 21. The nesting cooperation between the two makes the limiting block 22 set in the limiting groove 21. The limit position at both ends of the limiting groove 21 constrains the movement space of the limiting block 22. The advantage of this design is that the adjustment process is relatively smooth. This utility model has a small volume structure, and the smoother movement reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0025] In order to fix the position of the PCB board 32, the inside of the plug part 2 is provided with a slot 23 corresponding to the PCB board 32. The plug part 2 is composed of two separate structures 24. During assembly, the plug part 2 needs to be separated, the PCB board 32 is respectively aligned with the slot 23, and then the two separate structures 24 are combined to realize the assembly of the plug part 2.

[0026] Preferably, the side of the plug part 2 is an inclined surface 2a. This inclined angle design makes it easier for the fingertip to apply downward pressure, increases friction, and further reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0027] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
