Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to contact terminals, and particularly to contact terminals for computers and telephone lines.
Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the chips in the contact terminals of telephones and computers are mainly made of metal copper sheets. When the pressing process of the copper sheets is completed, a chip body is formed in which a plurality of chips are arranged in a row. In order to prevent oxidation of the copper chips, an alloy protective layer is plated in the subsequent process of the chip body. Oxidation of the chips causes a short circuit in the subsequent signal transmission, and this is to prevent the normal signal transmission from being affected. However, before inserting each chip into the contact terminals of telephones and computers, it is necessary to individually cut each chip on the chip body. After each chip is cut, when the cut part connecting the two side walls of each chip is separated, it becomes a state of bare copper, and moreover, since there is no alloy plating protective layer, when the cut part is inserted into the contact terminals of telephones and computers, due to the overall design of the existing chips and the internal structure design of the conventional contact terminals, the cut part will be exposed outside the chip socket. As a result, the cut part will be exposed to the air for a long time or oxidized in a humid environment, which will affect the normal signal transmission.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] As described above, in the industry, there is an urgent need for contact terminals for computers and telephone lines that can avoid the above problems, or improvements to the internal structure design of chips and conventional contact terminals. For the industry, research and development of solutions that meet the standard requirements of contact terminals and chips and can prevent the oxidation problem of the cut part are required.
[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a contact terminal for a telephone or a computer that improves the problem in the prior art that signals cannot be transmitted normally due to oxidation of the internal chip of the contact terminal of the telephone or the computer.
Means for Solving the Problem
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object and effect, the contact terminal provided by the present invention includes a chip and a connector for a computer or a telephone line. The connector for a computer or a telephone line has a connector structure, and the connector structure is provided with a plurality of chip sockets. When the chip is inserted into the chip socket, each of the two cut portions of the chip slides along the two side walls of the chip socket, and at the same time presses and contacts the two side walls. The heights of the two side walls are both higher than the height of the cut portion, and the two cut portions are completely inserted deeply into the chip socket.
[0006] The contact terminal of the present invention provides that the chip is provided with an upper part, a neck part, and a bottom part. The neck part is connected to the upper part and the bottom part respectively. There are two opposite protrusions at the upper part close to the neck part, and the two protrusions each protrude in the outer direction to form a cut portion.
[0007] The contact terminal of the present invention is characterized in that the heights of the two side walls are different and not in the same plane position, and the height of the side wall closer to the front end of the contact terminal is lower than the height of the other side wall.
[0008] The contact terminal of the present invention is characterized in that the heights of the two side walls are both higher than the height of the cut portion.
[0009] The contact terminal of the present invention is a contact terminal for a telephone line or a network cable, and a sharp angle structure is formed at the socket opening of the chip socket on the side wall closer to the front end of the contact terminal.
[0010] The bottom of the contact terminal of the present invention is a conductive laminated layer.
[0011] The contact terminal of the present invention has two sharp portions at the bottom, and each of the sharp portions is inserted into the wire hole module of the connector of a computer or a telephone line, and is also inserted into the wire located in the wire hole module.
[0012] When the chip of the present invention is inserted into the chip socket, the socket opening of the chip socket becomes higher from the upper part.
[0013] The contact terminal of the present invention includes a chip and a connector of a computer or a telephone line. The connector of the computer or the telephone line has a connector structure, and the connector structure is provided with a plurality of chip sockets. When the chip is inserted into the chip socket, each of the two opposite side walls of the chip socket presses and contacts the two opposite cutting portions of the chip. The chip sockets are not on the same plane. The height of the side wall closer to the front end of the contact terminal is lower than the height of the other side wall.
[0014] In the contact terminal of the present invention, the connector structure is an insulating rubber layer.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0016] In order for the examining commissioners to further recognize and understand the purpose, shape, structural device features and its effects of the present invention, the following provides a detailed description according to the embodiments combined with the drawings.
[0017] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment related to the contact terminal of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the contact terminal 100 includes a chip 110 and connectors for computers and telephone lines. The connectors for computers and telephone lines are composed of component parts of a connector structure 102, a wire hole module 104, a pressing part 106, and a protection part 108. The connector structure 102 is an insulating rubber layer and is provided with a plurality of chip sockets 103. The chip 110 is fitted into the chip socket 103, and two side walls 103a and 103b in relative positions are provided in the chip socket 103. When the chip 110 is fitted, it is pressed and contacted by each of the two cutting parts 110a in the relative position of the chip 110. The height of the side wall 103a is lower than the height of the side wall 103b, and the heights of the side wall 103a and the side wall 103b are at positions higher than the height of the cutting part 110a. The wire hole module 104 includes a wire hole 104a, a wire hole 104b, and a wire hole 104c. It should be particularly noted here that in the insulating rubber layer which is the connector structure 102, the side wall 103a in the chip socket 103 is at the socket mouth of the chip socket 103 and forms an acute angle structure, which helps to smoothly insert the contact terminal 100 into the contact terminal body in subsequent processes (not shown). Also, the bottom of the chip 110 has two sharp parts 110b.
[0018] Next, an embodiment of the contact terminal of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, after the chip 110 is inserted into the planned position of the chip socket 103, the two side walls 103a and 103b at the relative positions within the chip socket 103 press against and contact the two cut portions 110a of the chip 110. Specifically, the two side walls 103a and 103b of the chip socket 103 press against and contact the two cut portions 110a of the chip 110 respectively. The heights of the side walls 103a and 103b of the chip socket 103 are both higher than the height of the cut portion 110a and press against and contact the cut portion 110a. In this way, the cut portion 110a is completely shielded by being received in the chip socket 103 by the two side walls 103a and 103b, that is, the effect of protecting the cut portion 110a is exerted. Thus, the cut portion 110a is completely accommodated in the chip socket 103 and is not exposed to the air, so there is no worry about the oxidation problem on the surface of the cut portion 110a. Further explanation is added that at the bottom, there are two sharp portions 110b, and both of the two sharp portions 110b are inserted into the wire hole module 104 and the wire located in the wire hole module 104.
[0019] For the contact terminal of the present invention described above, an explanation will be given using the diagram of FIG. 3 as a comparative example of the contact terminal of the prior art. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact terminal 200 includes a chip 210 and connectors for a computer or a telephone line. The connectors for a computer or a telephone line are configured by combining components such as a connector structure 202, a connector structure 202a, a wire hole module 204, a pressing portion 206, and a protection portion 208. The connector structure 202 and the connector structure 202a are insulating rubber layers, and a plurality of chip sockets 203 are provided. The chip 210 is fitted into the chip socket 203, but the chip 210 is fitted until it reaches the planned position within the chip socket 203. The wire hole module 204 includes wire holes 204a, 204b, and 204c. The bottom of the chip 210 has two sharp portions, which are the same as the two sharp portions 110b at the bottom of the chip 110 in FIG. 1. It should be particularly noted here that the chip socket 203 of the connector structure 202 in the comparative example with the present invention of FIG. 3 does not have an accommodation space for accommodating the chip cutting portion installed as shown in FIG. 2.
[0020] Subsequently, a more in-depth explanation will be given regarding the comparative example of the known FIG. 3 with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a contact terminal regarding a known comparative example. As shown in FIG. 4, even when the chip 210 is fitted into the planned position of the chip socket 203 and reaches the layer of the wire hole 204c of the wire hole module 204, the connector structure 202a does not press the cutting portion of the chip 210. It should be particularly noted here that in the comparative example of the prior art of FIG. 4, in the chip socket 203 in the connector structure 202a, there are no two side walls provided as in the chip socket 103 in FIG. 2, so the cutting portion of the chip 210 cannot be shielded. Moreover, since the height of the connector structure 202a is only H1, the two cutting portions of the chip 210 are exposed to the outside. That is, the connector structure 202a of the prior art does not shield and protect the cutting portion of the chip 210. The cutting portion of the chip 210 is exposed and has nothing to do with the protection layer. Therefore, oxidation is likely to occur after long-term use, which will affect the communication and call quality.
[0021] Furthermore, refer to FIGS. 5 to 8. FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of a pair of contact terminals as a comparative example of the prior art, and FIG. 6 is also an external perspective view of a pair of contact terminals as a comparative example of the prior art. FIG. 7 is an external perspective view of a contact terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is also an external perspective view of a contact terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] As shown in FIG. 5, for the contact terminal 500 according to the comparative example of the prior art, when the chip 520 is inserted into the connector 510 of a computer or a telephone line before riveting, the two cut portions 520a of the chip 520 are exposed outside. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, for the contact terminal 500 according to the comparative example of the prior art, even when the chip 520 is inserted into the connector 510 of a computer or a telephone line after the riveting is completed, the cut portion 520a of the chip 520 is still exposed outside.
[0023] In contrast to the above-mentioned prior art, as shown in FIG. 7, for the contact terminal 700 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the chip 720 is inserted into the connector 710 of a computer or a telephone line before riveting, the cut portion 720a of the chip 720 is exposed outside. However, as shown in FIG. 8, for the contact terminal 700 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the chip 720 is inserted into the connector 710 of a computer or a telephone line after the riveting is completed, the cut portion 520a of the chip 720 is no longer exposed outside.
[0024] The best specific embodiment of the present invention described above is merely a structural feature of the present invention and is not limited thereto at all. All changes and modifications that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the field of the present invention shall be deemed to fall within the scope of the claims for utility model registration of the present invention.
