[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more particularly to a connector and an accessory for electronic equipment. Prior Technology

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, connectors are key components for signal transmission and power connection, and their performance and reliability directly affect the operating efficiency and stability of the entire electronic device. In related technologies, connectors typically employ an adhesive layer between the shell and insulation structures to securely connect them, enhancing the seal and stability of the connection. However, the adhesive injection method used in related technologies has persistent technical flaws, impacting the overall performance of the connector.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of connectors in related technologies, a side-injection method is typically used.

Subsequently, the shell structure is completely fitted onto the insulating structure, and the two are connected by the adhesive force of the adhesive layer.

Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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, 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.

[0028] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0029] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0030] In related technologies, the side-injection method of colloid has many shortcomings. For example, because the colloid is unrestricted during injection, it tends to flow freely inside the shell structure, resulting in uneven colloid distribution and poor molding effect. This not only affects the appearance quality of the connector, but may also lead to insufficient strength of the connection parts due to uneven colloid distribution, reducing the overall reliability of the connector.

[0031] For example, side-injection of the adhesive makes it difficult to ensure that the adhesive completely fills the gap between the shell structure and the insulation structure, especially in complex internal structures of the shell. The adhesive may not be able to effectively penetrate all corners, leaving potential leakage points. This not only reduces the connector's waterproof performance but may also lead to serious problems such as short circuits due to moisture intrusion.

[0032] Finally, the side-injection method is more complex in terms of process, requiring precise control of the injection volume and speed to avoid overflow or insufficient injection. This not only increases the operational difficulty and cost during production, but may also lead to unstable connector quality due to improper process.

[0033] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, a connector 1 is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device has multiple accessories to support its normal operation. These accessories include, but are not limited to, a circuit board 2 and a connector 1. The connector 1 is positioned and connected to the circuit board 2 to ensure stable signal transmission and efficient connection within the electronic device. Alternatively, the connector 1 can be plugged into another connector in the electronic device to achieve signal transmission. For example, in this application, the connector 1 is a female connector, and the electronic device has a male connector; the two are plugged into each other.

[0034] Connector 1 has a single-tongue connector structure to improve connection accuracy, reduce losses, enhance durability, and increase design flexibility. Connector 1 includes a shell structure 11, a terminal assembly 12, a shielding structure 13, and an insulation structure 14, which work together to provide a stable and reliable signal connection for electronic equipment.

[0035] An insulating structure 14 is disposed within the housing structure 11. The insulating structure 14 is made of a material with insulating properties to isolate different signal terminals in the terminal assembly 12, prevent signal interference, and ensure pure signal transmission.

[0036] At least a portion of the terminal assembly 12 and at least a portion of the shielding structure 13 are embedded within the insulating structure 14 to ensure stable signal transmission and the overall strength of the connector 1. The shielding structure 13 is used to prevent external electromagnetic interference from affecting signal transmission. The connector 1 has a first end 15 and a second end 16 disposed opposite to each other along its first direction (refer to the X-axis shown in Figure 1), i.e., the first end 15 is, for example, a head, and the second end 16 is a tail.

[0037] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8 to 12, the shell structure 11 is disposed outside the insulating structure 14. The shell structure 11 located at the second end 16 is provided with a first through hole 111 to expose the terminal assembly 12 located at the second end 16. The terminal assembly 12 can be electrically connected to the electronic device.

[0038] Adhesive is injected into the shell structure 11 through the first through hole 111 along the first direction of the connector 1, i.e., from the second end 16 to the first end 15. Under gravity, the adhesive flows from the second end 16 to the first end 15 to the target position. The adhesive can solidify at high temperature to form a waterproof layer 17, which connects the insulating structure 14 and the shell structure 11. The waterproof layer 17 can at least fill part of the gaps in the insulating structure 14, improving the connection effect and providing waterproofing.

[0039] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8, and 9, the insulating structure 14 is made of a high-insulation-performance material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or epoxy resin, to ensure electrical isolation between the internal components of the electrical assembly. The insulating structure 14 can be formed on the terminal assembly 12 and the shielding structure 13 by injection molding, which has the advantages of convenient processing, short cycle, and low cost. During the molding process, since there is no internal stress, the product quality and structure are relatively stable, and it is easy to process into specific shapes and sizes, providing a basis for the subsequent installation of the shielding structure 13.

[0040] The insulating structure 14 is disposed within the shell structure 11, and its various parts have different dimensions, achieving precise encapsulation and integration of different components. Exemplarily, the insulating structure 14 includes a first insulating element 143, which comprises a first insulator 1431, a second insulator 1432, and a third insulator 1433 arranged sequentially along a first direction of the connector 1. The first insulator 1431 and the second insulator 1432 are spaced apart, and the second insulator 1432 and the third insulator 1433 are connected, allowing the first insulating element 143 to provide different encapsulation states and support strengths in different areas.

[0041] Along the thickness direction of connector 1 or along a second direction of connector 1, the size of the first insulator 1431 is smaller than the size of the second insulator 1432, and the size of the second insulator 1432 is larger than the size of the third insulator 1433. This size difference design allows the first insulator 141 to provide different support and wrapping effects in different areas. Furthermore, the second insulator 1432 can initially intercept the adhesive, preventing it from flowing freely within the shell structure 11, ensuring the molding effect of the waterproof layer 17, improving the appearance quality of the connector, avoiding insufficient strength at the connection point due to uneven adhesive distribution, and improving the overall reliability of connector 1.

[0042] For example, the first insulator 1431 and the second insulator 1432 are spaced apart to form an adhesive-containing space 1434. When the adhesive is flowing, it flows into the adhesive-containing space 1434. When the amount of adhesive is poured to a preset level, the pouring is stopped, and the adhesive is cured at high temperature to form a waterproof layer 17. The waterproof layer 17 can connect the shell structure 11 and the insulating structure 14 together, which not only improves the stability of the connection, but also forms a barrier to intercept foreign objects such as water molecules or dust molecules. This achieves high strength, high stability, and high waterproof performance of the connector 1. These design features together improve the overall performance of the connector 1, enabling it to meet the requirements of various harsh application environments.

[0043] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 8 to 12, a glue-blocking portion 14313 is provided on the first insulator 1431. The glue-blocking portion 14313 can intercept the flow of glue from the first end 15 to the second end 16, preventing the glue from overflowing the glue-containing space 1434. Furthermore, the glue-blocking portion 14313 can abut against the shell structure 11, which not only effectively intercepts the glue but also enhances the structural strength of the first insulator 1431 and provides effective support for the shell structure 11, preventing it from collapsing due to glue pressure during the glue-filling process.

[0044] The glue-blocking part 14313 is provided with a glue-filling channel 14312. The glue-filling channel 14312 extends along the first direction of the connector 1, so that it communicates with the glue-containing space 1434, and the glue can enter the glue-containing space 1434 through the glue-filling channel 14312.

[0045] The potting channel 14312 extends along the first direction of the connector 1, and the adhesive is injected at the tail end. The adhesive is intercepted by the second insulator 1432, which ensures that the adhesive can completely fill the gap between the first insulator 1431 and the second insulator 1432 as well as the gap between the terminal assembly 12 and the insulating structure 14, avoiding potential water leakage points, improving the waterproof performance of the connector 1, and avoiding serious problems such as short circuits caused by water intrusion.

[0046] It is understandable that there can be one or more potting channels 14312. Multiple potting channels 14312 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction of connector 1, so that the adhesive can be distributed to all corners of the insulating structure 14 more quickly, shortening the potting time.

[0047] The colloid is placed between the first insulator 1431 and the second insulator 1432 and flows along the cross section. Its flow path is relatively short, and the distance between the first insulator 1431 and the second insulator 1432 is intuitive and controllable. It is easy to control the injection amount and injection speed of the colloid, ensuring that the colloid will not overflow or be insufficient. This reduces the operational difficulty and cost in the production process and avoids technical problems such as unstable connector quality caused by improper process.

[0048] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8 to 12, an exhaust channel 14311 is provided on the first insulator 1431. The exhaust channel 14311 extends along the first direction of the connector 1, and the potting channel 14312 and the exhaust channel 14311 are staggered, for example, located on both sides of the thickness direction of the connector 1. This ensures that during the potting process, the adhesive can be smoothly injected and fill the gap between the insulating structure 14 and the shell structure 11. At the same time, the exhaust channel 14311 can effectively discharge air and avoid the formation of air bubbles.

[0049] The exhaust channel 14311 has a variable diameter structure, meaning that the inner diameter of the exhaust channel 14311 located at the second end 16 is larger than the inner diameter of the exhaust channel 14311 located at the first end 15 along the first direction of the connector 1. This gradual design helps to create a pressure gradient during the potting process, prompting air to be discharged from the exhaust channel 14311 more quickly. While the first end 15 side can expel air quickly, the diameter of the exhaust channel 14311 gradually narrows from the first end 15 to the second end 16, which slows down the exhaust speed and avoids adverse effects on the connector 1.

[0050] It should be noted that the first insulator 1431 may also be provided with a clearance groove 14314, which can expose the terminal assembly 12, etc., to ensure the connection between the terminal assembly 12 and the circuit board 2. A positioning post 14315 may be provided within the clearance groove 14314. The electronic device components (such as the circuit board 2) have corresponding positioning holes, and the positioning post 14315 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole, realizing the positioning or limiting connection between the shell structure 11 and the electronic device components, thus improving assembly efficiency. There may be two positioning posts 14315 to facilitate quick positioning connection with the circuit board 2 and improve stability during positioning.

[0051] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 8 to 12, the insulating structure 14 includes an insulating connecting post 144, and the first insulator 1431 is connected to the second insulator 1432 through the insulating connecting post 144. The insulating connecting post 144 is located within the adhesive space 1434, and the adhesive can encapsulate the insulating connecting post 144, thus ensuring that the cured waterproof layer 17 is positioned and connected to the insulating connecting post 144. This not only enhances the overall stability of the insulating structure 14 but also ensures that the adhesive maintains the correct position and shape during the curing process.

[0052] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 8 to 12, the second insulator 1432 is provided with two adhesive overflow channels 14321. The two adhesive overflow channels 14321 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of the connector, for example, one adhesive overflow channel 14321 is provided at each end along the second direction of the connector 1 to disperse the adhesive overflow. The adhesive overflow channels 14321 are connected to the adhesive-containing space 1434 so that some adhesive can flow into the adhesive overflow channels 14321, increasing the contact area between the adhesive and the insulating structure 14 and improving the reliability of the cured connection.

[0053] The adhesive overflow channel 14321 is configured to contain the adhesive. The adhesive in the adhesive overflow channel 14321 and the adhesive in the adhesive containing space 1434 together form a waterproof layer 17 after curing, which further fills the gap between the shell structure 11 and the insulating structure 14, effectively improving the waterproof effect and the connection effect.

[0054] For example, the adhesive overflow channel 14321 includes a first channel 143211 and two second channels 143212. The two second channels 143212 are symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction of the connector 1. The second channels 143212 extend along a first direction of the connector 1 so as to connect the adhesive space 1434 and receive the flow of adhesive.

[0055] The first channel 143211 extends along the second direction of connector 1 and the thickness direction of connector 1, so that the two second channels 143212 are connected through the first channel 143211, and the first channel 143211 is located on the side of the second insulator 1432 away from the first insulator 1431, so that the waterproof layer 17 is irregularly shaped, further improving the reliability of the connection.

[0056] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8 to 12, the third insulator 1433 is symmetrically provided with an intercepting part 14331 along the first direction of the connector 1. The intercepting part 14331 protrudes from the surface of the third insulator 1433 and is configured to intercept the further flow of the colloid.

[0057] For example, the interception part 14331 includes a first interceptor 143311 and a second interceptor 143312. The first interceptor 143311 and the second interceptor 143312 are spaced apart along the first direction of the connector 1. This not only helps to accurately control the filling range of the adhesive and prevent the adhesive from generating defects due to uneven flow during the curing process, but also further blocks the adhesive and prevents it from flowing to the head of the connector 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8 to 12, the insulating structure 14 includes a third insulating member 141 and a second insulating member 142. The third insulating member 141 and the second insulating member 142 are spaced apart along the first direction of the connector 1 and are respectively connected to the terminal assembly 12.

[0059] The first insulating member 143 at least covers a portion of the structure of the third insulating member 141, a portion of the structure of the second insulating member 142, and a portion of the structure of the terminal assembly 12, which not only enhances the structural stability between the components but also promotes electrical isolation between them. The gap between the second insulating member 142 and the terminal assembly 12 located in the adhesive space 1434 is filled with adhesive to achieve a waterproof effect.

[0060] The third insulating member 141 and the second insulating member 142 are used to support the terminal assembly 12 and improve the stability of the terminal assembly 12.

[0061] For example, the third insulating member 141 is provided with a plurality of first support platforms 1411 on both sides along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to support the terminal assembly 12, thereby supporting and constraining the terminal assembly 12 and improving the stability of the terminal assembly 12.

[0062] A first limiting block 1412 may be provided between every two adjacent first support platforms 1411. The third insulating member 141 is limited and connected to the first insulating member 143 through the first limiting block 1412 to improve the reliability of the connection. The first limiting block 1412 may be a cube, sphere, irregular shape, etc. There may be one or more first limiting blocks 1412, and multiple first limiting blocks 1412 are arranged at intervals along the first direction of the connector 1.

[0063] The third insulating member 141 has mounting protrusions 1413 symmetrically arranged on the side wall along the first direction of the connector 1. The mounting protrusions 1413 are positioned and inserted into the shielding structure 13 to achieve interlocking.

[0064] The second insulating member 142 has multiple second support platforms 1421 on both sides along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to support the terminal assembly 12, thereby supporting and constraining the terminal assembly 12 and improving the stability of the terminal assembly 12.

[0065] A second limiting block 1422 may be provided between every two adjacent second support platforms 1421. The second insulating member 142 is limited and connected to the first insulating member 143 through the second limiting block 1422 to improve the reliability of the connection. The setting method of the second limiting block 1422 is the same as or similar to the setting method of the first limiting block 1412, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] In this embodiment, the connector 1 achieves high performance, high reliability, and high stability through a carefully designed insulation structure 14 and potting process. This design not only optimizes the filling process of the adhesive but also improves the overall structural strength of the connector 1, providing a solid foundation for its widespread application.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the shielding structure 13 includes an intermediate shielding member 131 and two outer shielding members 132. The intermediate shielding member 131 is located between the two outer shielding members 132, and is connected to each of the outer shielding members 132. Together, they enhance the shielding effect and effectively disperse potential external interference. The outer shielding members 132 are made of metal materials with good conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or nickel-plated steel, to effectively block and reflect electromagnetic fields. During installation, ensure that the outer shielding members 132 are tightly fitted to the insulating structure 14, so that they are firmly fixed to the insulating structure 14.

[0068] The two outer shielding components 132 are arranged opposite each other along the thickness direction of the connector 1, which not only enhances the shielding effect but also effectively disperses potential external interference. The outer shielding components 132 are embedded in the insulating structure 14, further improving the stability and durability of the shielding structure 13.

[0069] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6 and 7, the outer shield 132 includes an outer shield body 1321 and two outer shield mounting parts 1322 symmetrically arranged along the first direction of the connector 1. The outer shield body 1321 serves as the main shielding part, responsible for blocking external interference, while the outer shield mounting parts 1322 play the role of fixing and connecting.

[0070] The outer shielding mounting part 1322 is fixedly connected to the outer shielding body 1321, and the outer shielding mounting part 1322 is limitedly connected to the mounting protrusion 1413 of the insulating structure 14, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also realizes the interlocking function and prevents the loosening between components.

[0071] Among them, the outer shield mounting parts 1322 of the two outer shields 1321 are staggered along the first direction of the connector 1, which will not increase the overall size of the connector 1, break the limitations of the traditional layout, make the application range of the outer shield 132 wider, and no longer be limited by the size of the connector 1, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the outer shield 132.

[0072] For example, the outer shielding mounting part 1322 includes a mounting body 13221 and a third through hole 13222 formed in the mounting body. The mounting body 13221 is connected to the insulating structure 14 through the third through hole 13222, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection. The mounting body 13221 is bent relative to the outer shielding body 1321 along the thickness direction of the connector 1, so that the mounting body 13221 is attached to the side wall of the insulating structure 14 to facilitate a limiting connection with the insulating structure 14. The insulating structure 14 is provided with a matching limiting structure to facilitate limiting insertion.

[0073] The connector 1 in this embodiment adopts a split double outer shield 132 design. Through precise layout and connection method, it enhances signal transmission stability and anti-interference ability, effectively improves overall performance, and meets the needs of modern electronic devices for high-performance connector 1.

[0074] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the outer shield 1321 includes a first shielding segment 13211 and a second shielding segment 13212. The first shielding segment 13211 and the second shielding segment 13212 are arranged sequentially along the first direction of the connector 1 and connected to each other, which not only ensures the integrity of the outer shield 1321, but also facilitates manufacturing and assembly.

[0075] The first shielding segment 13211 is bent relative to the second shielding segment 13212 to better fit the insulating structure 14. The insulating structure 14 is typically used to isolate different electrical components and prevent current leakage or short circuits. The tight fit of the outer shielding body 1321 effectively reduces the penetration of electromagnetic interference and ensures the continuity of the shielding effect. The bending design increases the contact area between the outer shielding body 1321 and the insulating structure 14, thereby improving the shielding effectiveness. The second shielding segment 13212 is embedded in the third insulator 1433, and the first shielding segment 13211 is embedded in the second insulator 1432, ensuring that the first shielding segment 13211 and the second shielding segment 13212 can be firmly fixed to the insulating structure 14, while providing necessary electrical shielding and grounding functions.

[0076] The second shielding section 13212 is fixedly connected to the outer shielding mounting part 1322, and the outer shielding mounting part 1322 is bent relative to the second shielding section 13212, thus forming a certain angle. This not only enhances the structural strength of the outer shielding body 1321, but also facilitates its stable installation in the appropriate position of the connector 1. The bending design of the outer shielding mounting part 1322 also allows for more flexible connection and fixation within a limited space, which helps to improve the compactness and reliability of the entire connector 1.

[0077] It should be noted that specific values ​​are not provided in this embodiment regarding the length design of the first shielding segment 13211 and the second shielding segment 13212, as these two length parameters are determined based on the specific application scenario. In practical applications, these two lengths need to be reasonably set according to the size of the connector 1, the size of the area to be protected, and the expected shielding effect. For example, in areas requiring higher shielding effectiveness, the length of the first shielding segment 13211 or the second shielding segment 13212 can be appropriately increased to cover and protect these critical areas.

[0078] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the outer shield 1321 includes a first connecting portion 13213. The first connecting portion 13213 can be disposed alone in the first shielding section 13211, or alone in the second shielding section 13212, or simultaneously in both the first shielding section 13211 and the second shielding section 13212. The outer shield 1321 is fixedly connected to the shell structure 11 through the first connecting portion 13213. The first connecting portion 13213 may include multiple welding points to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0079] The outer shield 1321 includes two second connecting parts 13214, which are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of the connector 1. The second connecting parts 13214 are fixedly connected to the first shielding section 13211. The outer shield 1321 is connected to the intermediate shield 131 through the second connecting parts 13214, such as by welding.

[0080] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the intermediate shield 131 adopts an integrally molded structure, which ensures the integrity of the structure and facilitates manufacturing and installation. Part of the intermediate shield 1311 is embedded within the third insulating member 141 and the second insulating member 142 to fix the intermediate shield 1311.

[0081] The intermediate shield 131 includes an intermediate shield 1311 and a cover 1312. The cover 1312 is located at the first end 15, i.e. the head of the connector 1, and the cover 1312 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shield 1311.

[0082] The intermediate shield 1311 is embedded within the insulating structure 14, effectively shielding against electromagnetic interference from the outside. The cover 1312 covers at least a portion of the perimeter of the insulating structure 14, providing additional support and protection for the tongue of the connector 1, effectively improving the overall structural strength of the tongue. Furthermore, the connection between the cover 1312 and the insulating structure 14 is flush, ensuring a smooth connection and preventing difficulties in insertion and removal due to unevenness at the connection point when mating with the male connector.

[0083] The connector 1 in this embodiment exhibits excellent performance in electronic devices. Its single-tongue core structure improves connection accuracy and durability. The cover 1312 in the intermediate shield 131 protects the head and is made of metal material, which has higher structural strength compared to plastic structures in related technologies. The tongue core can better disperse stress when subjected to insertion and extraction forces, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration. Furthermore, the connection between the cover 1312 and the insulating structure 14 is flush, and the intermediate shield 131 is locally thickened, enhancing the insertion and extraction durability of the connector 1. This allows the connector 1 to maintain good electrical connection and mechanical stability even after multiple insertion and extraction operations.

[0084] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6 and 7, the covering body 1312 includes a first covering body 13121 and two first covering supports 13122. The first covering body 13121 and the first covering supports 13122 are respectively fixedly connected to the intermediate shield 1311, together providing comprehensive protection for the connector 1.

[0085] The first covering body 13121 and the first covering support 13122 are used to cover different walls of the insulating structure 14, achieving multi-directional protection. This not only enhances the structural strength of the connector 1, but also improves its resistance to the external environment, significantly improving the overall durability and reliability of the connector 1.

[0086] Two first covering supports 13122 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of connector 1 and cooperate with the first covering body 13121, so that connector 1 can better disperse stress when subjected to external force and avoid damage caused by local stress concentration.

[0087] The first covering support 13122 includes a first curved section 131221 and a first straight section 131222. The first straight section 131222 is connected to the first covering body 13121 through the first curved section 131221. The first curved section 131221 is arched and protrudes from the connector 1 to facilitate a limiting insertion with the male connector, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the connection.

[0088] The first curved section 131221 will be chamfered to improve its smoothness and safety, avoid damage caused by sharp edges, and thus extend the service life of the connector. Of course, it is understood that the chamfering is not limited to the first curved section 131221; it can also be chamfered at the connection between the first curved section 131221 and the first covering body 13121 to further improve the safety during insertion and removal and extend the service life of the connector 1.

[0089] In this embodiment, the connector 1, through the chamfering treatment of the cover body 1312 and the first bending section 131221, not only achieves multi-directional protection of the insulation structure 14, but also improves the stability of the connection and the safety of insertion and removal, significantly improving the overall performance and service life of the connector 1.

[0090] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the intermediate shield 131 includes a limiting part 1313 disposed on the intermediate shield 1311. The intermediate shield 1311 is limited and connected to the insulating structure 14 through the limiting part 1313 to improve the reliability of the connection and prevent loosening.

[0091] First Example

[0092] The limiting part 1313 includes a plurality of limiting protrusions 13131. The plurality of limiting protrusions 13131 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the intermediate shield 1311 along the first direction of the connector 1. The limiting protrusions 13131 extend along the second direction of the connector 1 (refer to the Y-axis shown in Figure 1) to form a certain length and height.

[0093] When the intermediate shield 1311 is connected to the insulating structure 14, the limiting protrusion 13131 will cooperate with the corresponding structure (such as groove, hole, etc.) on the insulating structure 14 to form a limiting connection, which not only improves the stability of the connection, but also effectively prevents the intermediate shield 1311 from shifting or loosening during the connection process.

[0094] Second example

[0095] The limiting part 1313 includes a plurality of first limiting holes 13132, which penetrate the intermediate shield 1311 along the thickness direction of the connector (refer to the Z-axis shown in FIG1), and the plurality of first limiting holes 13132 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of the connector.

[0096] The insulating structure 14 is provided with a structure (such as a protrusion, a pin, etc.) that matches the first limiting hole 13132. When the intermediate shield 1311 is connected to the insulating structure 14, these matching structures will be inserted into the first limiting hole 13132 to form a limiting connection, which significantly improves the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0097] It should be noted that the first direction, the second direction, and the thickness direction of the connector are all perpendicular to each other, which not only meets the general layout requirements of electronic connectors, but also ensures precise fit and stable connection between the components.

[0098] In this embodiment, connector 1 achieves a limiting connection between the intermediate shield 1311 and the insulation structure 14 by providing two different designs of limiting parts 1313. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of the connection but also effectively prevents loosening. In practical applications, a suitable limiting part 1313 design can be selected according to specific needs and the layout requirements of connector 1.

[0099] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the intermediate shield 1311 is provided with at least one first clearance through hole 13133, which penetrates the intermediate shield 1311. Under the premise of ensuring the shielding effect, the laying of the intermediate shield 1311 is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the overall performance of the connector 1 is improved.

[0100] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 6 and 7, the intermediate shield 1311 is provided with two intermediate shield connecting parts 13134. The two intermediate shield connecting parts 13134 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of the connector 1. The intermediate shield connecting parts 13134 provide connection positions so as to facilitate connection with other components (such as the second connecting part 13214 of the outer shield).

[0101] In this embodiment, the connector 1, the intermediate shield 131 and the grounding terminal are integrated into one unit. The intermediate shield 131 is spot-welded to the outer shield 1321, and the outer shield 1321 is welded to the shell structure 11 by spot welding (such as the first connecting part 13213), thus achieving a grounding effect. This design not only simplifies the overall structure and retains the high-frequency shielding effect, but also provides a direct connection point to the ground wire of the electronic device, enhancing the efficiency of the entire shielding structure 13.

[0102] Through the multi-layer protection of the outer shield 1321, the intermediate shield 1311 and the shell structure 11, the connector 1 design retains the high-frequency shielding effect and effectively reduces electromagnetic interference.

[0103] The ingenious design of the first connecting part 13213 and the second connecting part 13214, along with the integration of the intermediate shield 1311 and the grounding terminal, forms a compact and orderly electrical layout area. This not only saves space but also improves the overall performance and reliability of connector 1.

[0104] By reducing the solder pad size of the grounding terminal, this design reduces the soldering space required on the circuit board and reduces potential defects during the soldering process, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0105] In this embodiment, connector 1, by optimizing the connection and grounding methods between the outer shield 1321, the intermediate shield 1311, and the shell structure 11, forms a highly efficient multi-layer protection system. This design not only improves the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and electrical layout compactness of connector 1, but also reduces the risk of poor soldering and the space occupied on the circuit board. Therefore, this connector 1 design has broad application prospects in applications requiring high performance and high reliability.

[0106] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 8, and 9, the terminal assembly 12 includes a first signal terminal group 121 and a second signal terminal group 122 for transmitting specific types of signals. The first signal terminal group 121 and the second signal terminal group 122 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to optimize spatial layout and reduce mutual interference between signals. At least a portion of the structure of the first signal terminal group 121 and at least a portion of the structure of the second signal terminal group 122 are embedded in the insulating structure 14 to ensure effective isolation from the external environment and to provide mechanical protection for the terminal assembly 12, preventing damage to internal components from external factors.

[0107] The intermediate shield 131 is located between the first signal terminal group 121 and the second signal terminal group 122, forming a physical barrier that effectively blocks electromagnetic interference between the first signal terminal group 121 and the second signal terminal group 122.

[0108] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8, and 9, the first signal terminal group 121 is a soldering pin, suitable for connector 1 where high signal transmission efficiency, stability, and space utilization are required. The first signal terminal group 121 includes a plurality of first conductive terminals 1211, which are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the second direction to ensure orderly signal transmission in the horizontal direction while avoiding mutual interference.

[0109] Multiple first conductive terminals 1211 are symmetrically arranged along a first direction of the connector 1, which can enhance the stability of the connection and help reduce electromagnetic interference or signal attenuation caused by asymmetry. Each of the multiple first conductive terminals 1211 corresponds one-to-one with the first support platform 1411 of the third insulating member 141.

[0110] The length or width of the multiple first conductive terminals 1211 can be the same or different. For example, the width can be adjusted according to the actual required conductive cross-sectional area and suitable shape. For instance, some of the first conductive terminals 1211 can be widened to meet the corresponding conductive cross-sectional area, or some of the first conductive terminals 1211 can be lengthened to ensure that the first conductive terminals 1211 have sufficient contact area to connect with the male connector, thereby realizing signal transmission. The specific implementation depends on the actual situation, as long as there is sufficient conductive cross-sectional area and a suitable shape to ensure that the first conductive terminals 1211 have low impedance signal transmission and sufficient mechanical strength.

[0111] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3, 8, and 9, the second signal terminal group 122 is the soldering pin. The second signal terminal group 122 includes a plurality of second conductive terminals 1221, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction, effectively improving the overall performance of the second signal terminal group 122 and reducing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference between signals.

[0112] Multiple second conductive terminals 1221 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction of connector 1 to enhance the stability and anti-interference capability of signal transmission, which is beneficial to balancing the stress distribution inside connector 1 and can also effectively reduce signal attenuation or distortion caused by the external environment.

[0113] The second conductive terminal 1221 includes, for example, a first conductive segment 12211, a second conductive segment 12212, and a third conductive segment 12213. The first conductive segment 12211 extends along the first direction of the connector 1 and is disposed near the first end 15. The first conductive segment 12211 is connected to the second conductive segment 12212. The second conductive segment 12212 is bent along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to change the path of the second conductive terminal 1221. The third conductive segment 12213 is connected to the second conductive segment 12212. The third conductive segment 12213 extends along the first direction of the connector 1 and is disposed near the second end 16.

[0114] The first conductive segment 12211 corresponds one-to-one with the second support platform 1421. The second conductive segment 12212 changes the path of the second conductive terminal 1221, so that the second conductive terminal 1221 and the first conductive terminal 1211 are arranged on the same layer, so as to ensure that it can be electrically connected to the circuit board 2.

[0115] After assembly, rigorous performance tests were conducted on the first signal terminal group 121 and the second signal terminal group 122, including signal transmission quality, impedance matching, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The tests verified that the design meets the predetermined performance specifications, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the signal during transmission.

[0116] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 12, the shell structure 11 serves as the outer protective shell of the connector 1. It not only provides sufficient mechanical strength to protect the internal components but also isolates the internal and external environments, preventing external factors such as dust and moisture from interfering with the internal components. The shell structure 11 is located at the second end 16 to protect the tail section.

[0117] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 12, the shell structure 11 includes a first shell 112 and a second shell 113. Through precise fitting and fixing, they jointly ensure the overall strength and sealing performance of the connector 1. The first shell 112 is sleeved on the insulating structure 14, providing a basic protective frame for the connector 1. The first shell 112 is provided with a first through hole 111, and the second shell 113 is embedded in the first through hole 111 and fixedly connected to the first shell 112. The second shell 113 is provided with a second through hole 114 to expose part of the structure of the terminal assembly 12.

[0118] For example, the first housing 112 includes a first part 1121 and a second part 1122. The first part 1121 has a first groove 11211 and the second part 1122 has a second groove 11221. When the first part 1121 and the second part 1122 are mated, the first groove 11211 and the second groove 11221 block each other, forming an internal accommodating space, which is then used to place the terminal assembly 12, etc.

[0119] The first part 1121 has a first length along the first direction of the connector 1, and the second part 1122 has a second length along the first direction of the connector 1. The first length is less than the second length to expose a portion of the second groove 11221, thereby forming the first through hole 111.

[0120] For example, the first part 1121 has a first groove 11212 along the first direction of the connector 1, and a portion of the structure of the second housing 113 is embedded in the first groove 11212, so that the two can be joined together more tightly.

[0121] The second part 1122 has a second groove 11222 along the first direction of the connector 1, and a portion of the structure of the second housing 113 is embedded in the second groove 11222, so that the two can be joined together more tightly.

[0122] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 12, the first housing 112 includes a third part 1123, which is sleeved on the outside of the insulating structure 14. The third part 1123 is connected to the first part 1121 and the second part 1122, and is located on the side away from the first through hole 111. The third part 1123 is a cylindrical structure, providing additional protection for the connector 1.

[0123] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 12, a sealing layer 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the third part 1123. The sealing layer 18 is made of conductive material and can play a sealing role. When it is inserted with the male connector, the sealing layer 18 can fit tightly in the gap between the two, effectively preventing moisture from seeping into the connector 1. At the same time, the sealing layer 18 can also play a role in signal shielding and leakage prevention, so as to achieve better electromagnetic shielding effect and improve the overall performance of the connector 1. Among them, an annular groove can be provided on the outer side of the third part 1123, and the sealing layer 18, such as a sealing ring, is embedded in the annular groove to restrict the movement of the sealing layer 18, prevent the sealing layer 18 from shifting, and improve the fit of the sealing layer 18 during assembly.

[0124] The segmented structure ensures that insulation structures 14 of different sizes can be surrounded and exposed, while also saving costs. The first housing 112 is also provided with connecting ears 1124, which can be easily grasped by the user and can also be detachably connected to other components by fasteners (such as screws or bolts) passing through the connecting ears 1124, thus realizing the flexibility of the housing structure 11.

[0125] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 12, the second housing 113 includes a first connector 1131, a transition connector 1132, and a second connector 1133. The first connector 1131 is connected to the second connector 1133 through the transition connector 1132.

[0126] The first connector 1131 is embedded in the first groove 11212 to achieve assembly connection and improve assembly efficiency. The first connector 1131 can also be welded to the first groove 11212 to improve the reliability of the connection and ensure that the first connector 1131 fits tightly in the first groove 11212.

[0127] The second connector 1133 is embedded in the second groove 11222 to achieve assembly connection and improve assembly efficiency. The second connector 1133 can also be welded to the second groove 11222 to improve the reliability of the connection and ensure that the second connector 1133 fits tightly in the second groove 11222.

[0128] The transition connector 1132 is, for example, an arc-shaped rod to provide necessary protection or support. Furthermore, multiple notches 1134 are provided at the connection points between the first connector 1131, the second connector 1133, and the transition connector 1132. These notches 1134 help to disperse stress, ensuring that the transition connector 1132 can be bent smoothly, and further saving costs.

[0129] In this embodiment, the shell structure 11 of the connector 1, through precise design and fit, provides a robust protective barrier for the connector 1. Its shell structure 11 not only possesses sufficient mechanical strength to protect internal components but also exhibits excellent isolation and waterproof performance, effectively preventing external factors such as dust and moisture from interfering with the internal structure. The connector 1 of this embodiment maintains stable performance even in harsh environments, providing reliable support for various application scenarios.

[0130] As shown in Figures 1, 11, and 13, this application also provides an accessory for an electronic device, including a circuit board 2 and a connector 1 as described in any of the above embodiments. The circuit board 2 is connected to the connector 1. By utilizing the connection method in the above embodiments, a stable connection between the circuit board 2 and the connector 1 is achieved, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the electronic device.

[0131] For example, the circuit board 2 is provided with a clearance opening 21, and a portion of the shell structure 11 on the connector 1 can be embedded in the clearance opening 21, namely the first shell 112 and the second shell 113, which helps to reduce the size in the thickness direction and achieve a thinner design. Another portion of the shell structure 11 is attached to the circuit board 2, that is, the connecting ear 1124 is attached to the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is provided with a screw hole 22, and one end of a fastener (not shown in the figure) passes through the connecting ear 1124 and is threaded into the screw hole 22 to improve the stability when the circuit board 2 is connected to the connector 1. The fastener can be, for example, a screw or bolt, which is simple and easy to implement. Two screw holes 22 can be provided to match the connecting ear 1124 for balance.

[0132] The circuit board 2 is provided with positioning holes 23, and the circuit board 2 is positioned and connected to the positioning post 14315 of the connector 1 through the positioning holes 23. The number of positioning holes 23 is the same as that of positioning posts 14315, and they correspond one-to-one, which allows for quick positioning and improves installation efficiency.

[0133] Understandably, circuit board 2 is designed according to the specific functional requirements of electronic devices, and integrates various electronic components, chips and circuit wiring to achieve specific electrical functions and signal processing.

[0134] Connector 1 is the connector 1 described in any embodiment of this application. This connector has excellent electrical connection performance and mechanical stability, ensuring a stable and reliable connection with external devices or power supplies. The design of connector 1 takes into account compatibility with the circuit board, including pin layout, spacing, size, and other factors, to ensure a tight fit between the two.

[0135] During the design phase of circuit board 2, corresponding soldering holes or sockets are reserved according to the soldering pin layout of connector 1. The position, size, and shape of the soldering holes or sockets are precisely matched with the soldering pins of the connector.

[0136] The electronic device accessory provided in this embodiment achieves a robust connection between the high-quality connector 1 and circuit board 2 through precise assembly processes. This accessory not only improves the overall performance and reliability of the electronic device but also simplifies the assembly and maintenance process, reducing costs and time consumption.
