[0051] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0052] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0053] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0054] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0055] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact, or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0056] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0057] Understandably, data acquisition devices typically need to be compatible with multiple communication modes to meet user needs. However, integrating all communication modules into a single data acquisition device would result in a larger size and higher cost. Therefore, communication devices are detachably connected to the data acquisition device via plug-in connections. However, assembling and disassembling these communication devices is laborious and inconvenient.

[0058] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a communication device 10. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a communication device 10 according to an embodiment of this application, viewed from one perspective. (See also...) Figure 2 The communication device 10 can be used in conjunction with the data acquisition device 1 to add at least one communication function to the data acquisition device 1. To better illustrate the specific structure of the communication device 10, the structure of the data acquisition device 1 is briefly described below. The data acquisition device 1 includes a second circuit board (not shown), a connector 40, and the communication device 10 of this application. The connector 40 is fixedly connected to the second circuit board, and is also electrically connected to the second circuit board. The communication device 10 is detachably connected to the connector 40, so that the communication device 10 is electrically connected to the second circuit board through the connector 40. After the communication device 10 is connected to the second circuit board through the connector 40, the data acquisition device 1 can communicate with external devices through the communication method corresponding to the communication device 10.

[0059] Optionally, the second circuit board is the main control board of the data acquisition device 1. The data acquisition device 1 also includes a device host. The second circuit board is disposed in the device host and electrically connected to the device host, so that the device host and the second circuit board are electrically connected, thereby realizing the corresponding functions of the data acquisition device 1. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the connector 40 is installed on the device host to fix and electrically connect the connector 40 to the second circuit board, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the communication device 10 and the second circuit board. The specific structure of the communication device 10 in some embodiments is described below.

[0060] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the communication device 10 includes a connector 100, a connecting housing 200, and a first circuit board 300. The connector 100 is provided with a hook 110. The connecting housing 200 houses part of the connector 100, and the outer wall of the connecting housing 200 is provided with a through-hole 210. The hook 110 engages or disengages from the 210. The connecting housing 200 is also provided with an unlocking member 220, at least partially located in the 210. When the unlocking member 220 is pressed, it can push the hook 110 out of the 210. The first circuit board 300 is provided with a communication module (not shown), and one end of the first circuit board 300 is fixed to the connector 100.

[0061] like Figure 3As shown, connector 100 is the plug connecting communication device 10 and connector 40. Connector 100 is located at one end of connector housing 200, and part of connector 100 is installed inside connector housing 200. First circuit board 300 is the main board for communication device 10 to achieve communication connection. First circuit board 300 is fixedly installed on connector 100. After connector 100 is installed at one end of connector housing 200, part of connector 100 is installed inside connector housing 200, and part is located outside connector housing 200. First circuit board 300 is located inside connector housing 200, and connector housing 200 protects first circuit board 300. First circuit board 300 is provided with a communication module. After connector 100 is connected to connector 40, first circuit board 300 can be electrically connected to second circuit board through connector 40. In this way, second circuit board can have communication function and can communicate with external devices.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector 100 has a hook 110 on the side facing the connecting housing 200. The connecting housing 200 has a snap-fit ​​hole 210 penetrating the inner and outer walls. When the connector 100 is installed in the connecting housing 200 (actually, part of the connector 100 is installed in the connecting housing 200, which will not be described further), the hook 110 can snap into the snap-fit ​​hole 210 to fix the connector 100 to the connecting housing 200. When the connector 100 is disassembled, the hook 110 can disengage from the snap-fit ​​hole 210 to allow the connector 100 to be pulled out of the connecting housing 200. For ease of description of the specific structure of the communication device 10, a height direction is introduced here. The connector 100 is pluggably installed into the connecting housing 200 along the height direction, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 The direction of the arrow shown indicates the top-bottom direction and the up-down direction, which will not be elaborated further below.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, to facilitate the disassembly of the connector 100, the connecting housing 200 of this application is further provided with an unlocking member 220. The unlocking member 220 is at least partially located in the snap-fit ​​hole 210, and the unlocking member 220 partially corresponds to the hook 110, but is not completely fitted with the hook 110. Only one movable end overlaps with the hook 110 in the height direction, and the other fixed end is fixed to the body of the connecting housing 200. When disassembling the connector 100, pressing the unlocking member 220 will push the hook 110 out of the snap-fit ​​hole 210 under the action of the pressing force. At this time, since the hook 110 and the snap-fit ​​hole 210 are not engaged, the connector 100 can be easily pulled out of the connecting housing 200, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the connector 100 from the connecting housing 200.

[0064] like Figure 1As shown, the communication device 10 of the above embodiment achieves rapid assembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200 through the cooperation of the hook 110 and the snap-fit ​​hole 210. Simultaneously, an unlocking element 220 is provided on the connecting housing 200. When the unlocking element 220 is pressed, it acts as an external force transmission device, concentrating the external force on the hook 110. The unlocking element 220 can push the hook 110 to move, allowing it to quickly separate from the snap-fit ​​hole 210, thus achieving rapid disassembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200. In this way, the communication device 10, through the cooperation of the hook 110, the snap-fit ​​hole 210, and the unlocking element 220, facilitates the rapid assembly and disassembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200, improving disassembly efficiency and making the communication device 10 easier to use.

[0065] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, one sidewall of the latching hole 210 is a fixed surface 211, one end of the unlocking member 220 is disposed on the fixed surface 211, and the other end extends toward the position of the hook 110. That is, the unlocking member 220 is completely located in the latching hole 210. In this way, no additional space is needed to set up the unlocking member 220. The unlocking member 220 can be set up using the hook 110 and the latching hole 210, thereby reducing the size of the communication device 10.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the sidewall of the snap-fit ​​hole 210 is a fixed surface 211, and the unlocking member 220 is disposed on the fixed surface 211. The unlocking member 220 extends along the height direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the unlocking member 220 may also be partially located in the snap-fit ​​hole 210. One end of the unlocking member 220 is located on the outer wall of the connecting housing 200, and the other end of the unlocking member 220 extends into the snap-fit ​​hole 210 and partially corresponds to the hook 110. In this way, pressing the unlocking member 220 can also disengage the hook 110 from the snap-fit ​​hole 210.

[0067] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the unlocking member 220 is made of an elastic material. This gives the unlocking member 220 a certain degree of elasticity. When the unlocking member 220 is pressed, it will not break relative to the connecting housing 200, thus effectively separating the hook 110 from the locking hole 210. Simultaneously, the unlocking member 220 automatically resets after the pressing force is removed, facilitating the reassembly and disassembly of the connector 100 from the connecting housing 200. Optionally, the unlocking member 220 is made of silicone, rubber, or other elastic materials.

[0068] See Figure 1In one embodiment, the unlocking member 220 and the connecting housing 200 are an integral structure. That is, the unlocking member 220 and the connecting housing 200 can be integrally molded. This can improve the structural strength of the connection between the unlocking member 220 and the connecting housing 200, prevent the unlocking member 220 from breaking when pressed, and at the same time, simplify the assembly and production processes.

[0069] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the unlocking member 220 includes a pressing body 222 disposed in the connecting housing 200. The pressing body 222 is located in the snap-fit ​​hole 210 and at least partially corresponds to the hook 110. The pressing body 222 is located in the snap-fit ​​hole 210 and extends along the height direction. The pressing body 222 and the hook 110 overlap in the portion perpendicular to the height direction. When the pressing body 222 is pressed, the pressing body 222 can push the hook 110 out of the snap-fit ​​hole 210. At this time, since the hook 110 and the snap-fit ​​hole 210 are not engaged, the connector 100 can be easily pulled out of the connecting housing 200, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the connector 100 from the connecting housing 200.

[0070] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the unlocking component 220 further includes a connecting body 221, one end of which is connected to the connecting housing 200, and the other end is connected to the pressing body 222. The connecting body 221 is the component that connects the pressing body 222 to the connecting housing 200. One end of the connecting body 221 is disposed on the fixing surface 211 of the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 210, and the other end of the connecting body 221 is connected to the pressing body 222. The pressing body 222 can be disposed on the fixing surface 211 through the connecting body 221, so that the pressing body 222 is suspended. In this way, when the pressing body 222 is pressed, the pressing body 222 and the connecting body 221 form a cantilever beam-like structure, and the pressing body 222 can move relative to the connecting housing 200 to push the hook 110 out of the snap-fit ​​hole 210.

[0071] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the width of the connecting body 221 is smaller than the width of the pressing body 222. That is, a smaller-width connecting body 221 is used to connect the fixing surface 211 and the pressing body 222. In this way, the smaller-width connecting body 221 can increase the elasticity of the pressing body 222, thereby reducing the pressing force of the unlocking member 220, making the unlocking member 220 easier to press, and thus facilitating the unlocking member 220 to push the hook 110 out of the locking hole 210.

[0072] See Figure 4In one embodiment, the connecting body 221 and the pressing body 222 are sheet-like and integrally formed. The sheet-like shape of the connecting body 221 and the pressing body 222 increases the elasticity of the unlocking member 220, reducing the pressing force required and making it easier to press. Simultaneously, the integral structure of the connecting body 221 and the pressing body 222 ensures the structural strength of the connection between them, preventing breakage at the connection point when the pressing body 222 is pressed.

[0073] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the connecting body 221 is connected to the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 210 away from the connector head 100. That is, the connecting body 221 is connected to the fixing surface 211. In this way, the top of the pressing body 222 can overlap with the bottom of the hook 110, which facilitates pushing the hook 110 out of the snap-fit ​​hole 210.

[0074] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, at least two hooks 110 are provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the connector 100. The number of locking holes 210 and unlocking elements 220 is equal to the number of hooks 110 and is correspondingly provided. Thus, the cooperation of at least two hooks 110 and at least two locking holes 210 enables a reliable connection between the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200, preventing the connector 100 from becoming loose relative to the connecting housing 200, thereby ensuring the protective effect on the first circuit board 300. Furthermore, each locking hole 210 corresponds to one unlocking element 220, which can push the corresponding hook 110 out of the locking hole 210.

[0075] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, there are two hooks 110, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connector 100. Correspondingly, the connecting housing 200 has two locking holes 210, which are correspondingly arranged with the two hooks 110. Each locking hole 210 has an unlocking element 220. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the number of hooks 110 may be one, three, or other numbers, and the number of locking holes 210 and unlocking elements 220 may be equal to the number of hooks 110.

[0076] See Figure 3In one embodiment, the first circuit board 300 integrates one or more of the following: an NFC communication module, an Ethernet module, a wireless communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, and a 4G communication module. It is understood that the type of communication module integrated on the first circuit board 300 is not limited in principle, as long as it meets the communication requirements. In this embodiment, the communication module includes one or more of the following: an NFC communication module, an Ethernet module, a wireless communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, and a 4G communication module, so that the first circuit board 300 has at least one type of communication function. Of course, the communication module can also be a structure capable of realizing communication.

[0077] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the connector 100 further includes a first mounting member 120, which is partially installed in and covers the connecting housing 200. The first mounting member 120 is the component that connects the connector 100 to the connecting housing 200. Since the first mounting member 120 is partially installed in the connecting housing 200 and also covers the top of the connecting housing 200, it can effectively seal the connecting housing 200, thereby improving the sealing effect at the connection between the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200 and providing a certain degree of dust and water resistance.

[0078] See Figure 7 In one embodiment, the connector 100 is further provided with a fixing hook 160, which is located in the first mounting member 120 and is fixedly connected to the first circuit board 300. The fixing hook 160 is located in the first mounting member 120 and is hook-shaped, used to fix the first circuit board 300 so that the circuit board is fixed to the connector 100.

[0079] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the first circuit board 300 is provided with a buckle 320, and the fixing hook 160 can be hooked into the buckle 320 to reliably fix the first circuit board 300 to the connector 100, so as to prevent the position of the first circuit board 300 from shifting, thereby ensuring that the first circuit board 300 is reliably electrically connected to the second circuit board through the connector 40.

[0080] See Figure 6In one embodiment, the first mounting member 120 includes a cover plate 121 and mounting bodies 122 and mounting protrusions 123 axially disposed on both sides of the cover plate 121. A hook 110 is disposed on the surface of the cover plate 121 facing the connecting housing 200 and has a predetermined distance from the outer wall of the mounting body 122. The mounting body 122 is installed in the connecting housing 200, and the cover plate 121 covers the connecting housing 200. The mounting body 122 is disposed on the surface of the cover plate 121 facing the connecting housing 200, and the mounting protrusions 123 are disposed on the surface of the cover plate 121 facing the connecting seat 40, to facilitate the connection between the connector 100 and the connecting seat 40, as will be mentioned later. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting body 122 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the connecting housing 200, so that the mounting body 122 can be installed into the connecting housing 200, and the cover plate 121 can cover the top of the connecting housing 200 to achieve closure of the connecting housing 200. Optionally, the cover plate 121, the mounting body 122, and the mounting protrusion 123 are an integral structure.

[0081] Furthermore, the cover plate 121 protrudes circumferentially from the mounting body 122, and the hook 110 can be disposed on the surface of the cover plate 121 facing the connecting housing 200, and has a predetermined distance from the outer wall of the mounting body 122. (See reference...) Figure 6 The preset spacing allows for a certain amount of movement between the hook 110 and the locking hole 210, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200. (See reference...) Figure 1 When the connector 100 is installed on the connector base 40, the inner wall of the connecting housing 200 can push the hook 110 towards the mounting body 122, so that the mounting body 122 and the hook 110 can be inserted into the connecting housing 200. When the hook 110 moves to the locking hole 210, the hook 110 moves away from the mounting body 122 to reset and lock into the locking hole 210, realizing the assembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200. When the connector 100 is disassembled, pressing the unlocking member 220 can push the hook 110 towards the mounting body 122, so that the hook 110 can disengage from the locking hole 210. At this time, the connector 100 can be pulled out from the connecting housing 200, realizing the disassembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200.

[0082] See Figure 6In one embodiment, the connector 100 further includes a second mounting member 130, which is rotatably fitted onto the first mounting member 120. The second mounting member 130 is the component that connects the connector 100 to the connector base 40. The second mounting member 130 is rotatably fitted onto the mounting protrusion 123 and can be rotatably connected to the connector base 40, that is, the second mounting member 130 can rotate relative to the first mounting member 120. Thus, when the connector 100 is connected to the connector base 40, the second mounting member 130 can be rotatably connected to the connector base 40. Since the first circuit board 300 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting member 120, the rotation of the second mounting member 130 will not cause the first mounting member 120 and the first circuit board 300 to rotate, so that the connector base 40 can be reliably connected to the first circuit board 300.

[0083] See Figure 8 In one embodiment, the mounting protrusion 123 is provided with a limiting step 1231, and the inner wall of the second mounting member 130 is provided with a limiting hook 131. The second mounting member 130 is rotatably sleeved on the mounting protrusion 123, and the limiting step 1231 can abut against the limiting hook 131 to axially limit the second mounting member 130. The outer wall of the first mounting member 120 is provided with a radially protruding limiting step 1231, and the inner wall of the second mounting member 130 is provided with a radially protruding limiting hook 131. The second mounting member 130 is installed onto the first mounting member 120 by press-fitting, so that the limiting hook 131 passes over the limiting step 1231 under pressure and is installed on the mounting protrusion 123, thereby the limiting hook 131 can hook onto the limiting step 1231. Figure 7 As shown, the second mounting member 130 is axially limited to prevent it from detaching from the first mounting member 120. At the same time, since the second mounting member 130 is hooked onto the limiting step 1231 by the limiting hook 131, it will not affect the rotation of the second mounting member 130, which facilitates the connection between the second mounting member 130 and the connecting seat 40.

[0084] See Figure 8 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the mounting protrusion 123 is further provided with a guide surface 1233. The guide surface 1233 is inclined to guide the limiting hook 131 to engage with the limiting step 1231. The guide surface 1233 is inclined from top to bottom and outward. When the second mounting member 130 is installed, the limiting hook 131 can abut against the guide surface 1233. When the second mounting member 130 is pressed in, the limiting hook 131 can slide along the guide surface 1233 and engage with the limiting step 1231, thereby realizing the assembly of the second mounting member 130 and the first mounting member 120. Optionally, there are multiple limiting hooks 131, which are evenly distributed along the periphery of the second mounting member 130. The number of limiting hooks 131 is equal to the number of guide surfaces 1233 and is correspondingly arranged.

[0085] See Figure 8 In one embodiment, the connector 100 further includes a sealing gasket 150 disposed on the mounting protrusion 123. The sealing gasket 150 is disposed on the top of the mounting protrusion 123. When the connector 100 is connected to the connector 40, the sealing gasket 150 can abut against the connector 40, and the sealing gasket 150 can ensure the sealing performance at the connection between the connector 100 and the connector 40, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the connection between the communication device 10 and the connector 40.

[0086] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the mounting protrusion 123 has a recessed receiving groove 1232 at the end opposite to the connecting housing 200, and the sealing gasket 150 is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 1232. The recessed receiving groove 1232 on the top of the mounting protrusion 123 allows for the positioning and installation of the sealing gasket 150, preventing displacement of the sealing gasket 150 and ensuring accurate contact between the sealing gasket 150 and the connecting seat 40, thereby improving waterproof performance. In one embodiment, the sealing gasket 150 is made of insulating materials such as rubber or silicone. Thus, the sealing gasket 150 made of materials such as rubber or silicone can ensure a sealing effect, thereby improving waterproof performance.

[0087] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the connector 100 further includes a waterproof component 140, which protrudes circumferentially from the outer wall of the first mounting component 120 and abuts against the inner wall of the connecting housing 200. The waterproof component 140 is annular and protrudes from the outer wall of the first mounting component 120. When the first mounting component 120 is installed on the connecting housing 200, the waterproof component 140 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting housing 200 to further seal the connection between the first mounting component 120 and the connecting housing 200, improving the waterproof and dustproof performance at the connection between the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200, thereby enhancing the protection of the first circuit board 300.

[0088] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the waterproof component 140 is a waterproof rubber ring made of silicone or rubber material. The waterproof component 140, made of materials such as rubber or silicone, can improve the waterproof and dustproof performance at the connection between the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200, thereby improving the protection effect on the first circuit board 300.

[0089] See Figure 8In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first mounting member 120 is provided with a circumferentially surrounding mounting groove 124. The waterproof member 140 is installed in the mounting groove 124 and protrudes from the outer wall of the first mounting member 120. The mounting groove 124 enables the positioning and installation of the waterproof member 140, ensuring the accurate position of the waterproof member 140 relative to the first mounting member 120 and preventing the position of the waterproof member 140 from shifting when the connector 100 is inserted into the connecting housing 200, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof performance at the connection between the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the waterproof member 140 and the first mounting member 120 are an integral structure.

[0090] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, at least two waterproof components 140 are provided, spaced axially on the outer wall of the first mounting member 120. These at least two waterproof components 140 provide at least two layers of protection, further improving the waterproof and dustproof performance at the connection between the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200. In this embodiment, two waterproof components 140 are provided, spaced axially on the outer wall of the first mounting member 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of waterproof components 140 may be one, three, or other quantities.

[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, the communication device 10 of this application achieves quick assembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200 through the cooperation of the hook 110 and the snap-fit ​​hole 210. Simultaneously, an unlocking element 220 is provided on the connecting housing 200. When the unlocking element 220 is pressed, it pushes the hook 110 to move, allowing the hook 110 to quickly separate from the snap-fit ​​hole 210, thus achieving quick disassembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200. In this way, the communication device 10, through the cooperation of the hook 110, the snap-fit ​​hole 210, and the unlocking element 220, facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the connector 100 and the connecting housing 200, improving disassembly efficiency and making the communication device 10 easier to use.

[0092] See Figure 11This application also provides a data acquisition device 1, which includes a second circuit board, a connector 40, and a communication device 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The connector 40 is fixedly connected to the second circuit board, and the communication device 10 is detachably connected to the connector 40. In the communication device 10, a second mounting member 130 is rotatably connected to the connector 40, so that the first circuit board 300 is fixedly connected to the connector 40, and then electrically connected to the second circuit board through the connector 40, so that the second circuit board has a communication function. After the data acquisition device 1 of this application adopts the above-described communication device 10, the second circuit board can have a communication function, which meets the communication needs of the second circuit board. At the same time, the communication device 10 can realize the quick assembly and disassembly of the connector 100 and the connector housing 200 through the unlocking member 220, so as to improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency and facilitate the use of the communication device 10.

[0093] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the connector 40 is provided with an external thread 410, and the inner wall of the second mounting member 130 in the connector 100 is provided with an internal thread 132. The second mounting member 130 rotates relative to the first mounting member 120 in the connector 100 to be connected to the connector 40 through the helical engagement of the internal thread 132 and the external thread 410. That is, the connector 100 and the connector 40 are connected by a thread. When the connector 100 and the connector 40 are connected, the connector 100 and the connector 40 are first mated together. At this time, the first circuit board 300 can be inserted and connected to the connector 40. When the second mounting member 130 rotates relative to the first mounting member 120, the second mounting member 130 rotates and engages with the external thread 410 through the internal thread 132, so that the second mounting member 130 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting member 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the inner wall of the connecting seat 40 may be provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the second mounting member 130 may be provided with a thread. The second mounting member 130 may be rotatably installed in the connecting seat 40 through the cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread.

[0094] See Figure 3 Because the connector 100 and the connector 40 are connected by an internal thread 132 and an external thread 410, the connection between the connector 100 and the connector 40 is convenient and reliable. This prevents the connector 100 from falling off due to vibration during the operation of the second circuit board, thus ensuring the reliability of the connection between the first circuit board 300 and the second circuit board via the connector 40. Furthermore, because the second mounting member 130 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 120, when the second mounting member 130 is rotatably connected to the connector 40 via the internal thread 132 and the external thread 410, it can move the second mounting member towards the connector 40, making the connection between the first circuit board 300 and the connector 40 tighter and improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the connector 40 and the first circuit board 300, thereby ensuring effective communication.

[0095] See Figure 3 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first circuit board 300 is provided with a first connector 310, the first mounting member 120 is provided with a through hole 125 for the first connector 310 to extend out, and the connector 40 is provided with a second connector 430. When the second mounting member 130 is connected to the connector 40, the first connector 310 can be inserted into the second connector 430, so that the first circuit board 300 is electrically connected to the second circuit board through the connector 40. The connector 40 has the second connector 430 at one end facing the connecting housing 200. After the first circuit board 300 is fixed to the first mounting member 120 by the fixing hook 160, the first connector 310 can extend out through the through hole 125 of the first mounting member 120. At this time, the first connector 310 is located in the first mounting member 120. Figure 10 As shown.

[0096] See Figure 3 and Figure 9 When the connector 100 is connected to the connector 40, the first plug-in 310 and the second plug-in 430 are first mated together to allow the first circuit board 300 to be plugged into the connector 40. Then, the second mounting member 130 is rotated so that it is rotatably mounted to the connector 40 through the engagement of the internal thread 132 and the external thread 410. Because the second mounting member 130 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting member 120, and because the second plug-in 430 limits the rotation of the first plug-in 310, the second mounting member 130 will not cause the first mounting member 120 and the first circuit board 300 to rotate. During the rotation of the second mounting member 130, the second mounting member 130 can push the first mounting member 120 towards the connector 40 through the engagement of the limiting hook 131 and the limiting step 1231, further connecting the first plug-in 310 and the second plug-in 430, thus improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the first circuit board 300 and the connector 40.

[0097] See Figure 3 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, one of the first connector 310 and the second connector 430 is a plug, and the other is a socket. In this embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 The first connector 310 is a socket, see reference. Figure 9 The second connector 430 is a socket. That is, the first circuit board 300 has a plug, and the connector 40 has a socket. When the connector 100 is connected to the connector 40, the plug of the first circuit board 300 is inserted into the socket of the connector 40, thus achieving an electrical connection between the first circuit board 300 and the connector 40. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connector 310 can also be a socket, and the second connector 430 can be a plug.

[0098] See Figure 9 Optionally, the second connector 430 is integrated into the connector base 40. In this way, after the connector head 100 is connected to the connector base 40, the first connector 310 can be inserted into the connector base 40 to achieve a mating connection with the second connector 430. This reduces the height of the connector base 40, thereby reducing the overall height of the connector base 40 after it is connected to the communication device 10. Optionally, the first connector 310 and the second connector 430 can be board-to-board connectors, USB connectors, or other types of connectors.

[0099] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, the connector 40 further includes a plug 440, which is electrically connected to the second circuit board. The plug 440 is also electrically connected to the second connector 430. The second circuit board has a socket corresponding to the plug 440. When the connector 40 is connected to the second circuit board, the plug 440 is inserted into the socket, achieving electrical connection between the plug 440 and the second circuit board. Furthermore, the plug 440 is electrically connected to the second connector 430, and the second connector 430 is electrically connected to the first connector 310. Thus, the first circuit board 300 can achieve electrical connection with the second circuit board through the cooperation of the first connector 310 and the second connector 430, and the electrical connection between the second connector 430 and the plug 440, thereby enabling the second circuit board to have communication functionality.

[0100] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, the connector 40 has an annular protrusion 420 at one end facing the connector 100, which can abut against the sealing gasket 150 in the connector 100. The lower surface of the connector 40 has the protrusion 420. After the connector 100 is connected to the connector 40, the connector 40 can abut against the sealing gasket 150 on the top of the mounting protrusion 123 via the protrusion 420. Figure 7 As shown. In this way, after the connector 40 is connected to the connector 100, the protrusion 420 surrounds the periphery of the first connector 310 and the second connector 430. The protrusion 420 presses against the sealing gasket 150 to seal the periphery of the first connector 310 and the second connector 430, preventing moisture and other substances from entering the first connector 310 and the second connector 430, and ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the first connector 310 and the second connector 430.

[0101] See Figure 9In one embodiment, the connecting seat 40 includes a connecting plate 450 and a connecting post 460 disposed on the connecting plate 450. The outer wall of the connecting post 460 is provided with an external thread 410. The connecting post 460 is the main structure of the connecting seat 40, and the connecting plate 450 is disposed at the end of the connecting post 460 away from the connecting housing 200. The second mounting member 130 is sleeved on the connecting post 460 through the engagement of the internal thread 132 and the external thread 410. The connecting plate 450 can cover the top of the second mounting member 130 to play a preliminary sealing role. Optionally, the connecting plate 450 and the connecting post 460 are an integral structure.

[0102] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0103] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
