[0003] The electrical connection structure is an important carrier for carrying data and exchanging electric energy, and is widely used in various electronic devices, such as head-mounted display devices, mobile terminals, notebook computers, and small household appliances. The electrical connection structure includes a plug and a socket. The plug is connected to other electronic devices or external power supply through a cable. The socket is arranged on the electronic device. The plug and the socket are plugged together to realize the transmission of data or electric energy.
[0004] In related technologies, a clamping structure is usually added to improve the connection stability of the plug and the socket. Specifically, a clamping block and a clamping groove are arranged at corresponding positions of the plug and the socket, respectively. When the plug and the socket are plugged together, the clamping block and the clamping groove are clamped. However, when the plug needs to be pulled out for completing the transmission of data or electric energy, the user usually needs to apply an external force to the plug and / or the socket until the plug and / or the socket are deformed, so that the clamping block and the clamping groove can be separated, and then the plug can be pulled out from the socket. This results in a time-consuming and laborious process of pulling out the plug, and improper operation can also damage the plug and / or the socket. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide an electrical connection structure and electronic device to solve the problem that related electrical connection structures are time-consuming and laborious when pulling out the plug, and improper operation can also damage the plug and / or the socket.

[0007] One of the plug and the socket is provided with a first limiting structure, and the other of the plug and the socket is provided with a clasp. The plug and the socket are detachably connected through the clasp and the first limiting structure.
[0008] The plug comprises a second electrical connector, and the socket comprises a first electrical connector. When the plug and the socket are plugged together, the second electrical connector is electrically connected with the first electrical connector, and the clasp is clamped with the first limiting structure.
[0009] The key is used to push the first limiting structure or the buckle, and the first limiting structure is released from limiting the buckle by pressing the key.
[0010] In a second aspect, the present application also discloses an electronic device comprising the electric connection structure.
[0011] In the embodiments of the present application, one of the plug and the socket is provided with the first limiting structure, and the other is provided with the buckle. In this way, when the plug and the socket are matched and plugged, the first electric connection member can be electrically connected with the second electric connection member, so that the transmission of data or electric energy can be realized.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present application, one of the plug 2 and the socket 1 is provided with the first limiting structure, and the other is provided with the buckle 22. In this way, when the plug 2 and the socket 1 are plugged together, the first electrical connecting member 14 can be electrically connected with the second electrical connecting member 28, so that the transmission of data or electric energy can be realized; at the same time, the first limiting structure can be connected with the buckle 22, so that the connection stability of the plug 2 and the socket 1 can be improved. In addition, since the button 23 is provided, the first limiting structure can be released from the limiting of the buckle 22 by pressing the button 23, so that the plug 2 can be easily pulled out of the socket 1, effectively avoiding the problem of damage to the plug 2 and / or the socket 1 due to improper operation.
[0032] It should be noted that the drawings of the present application only show the case that the buckle 22 is provided on the plug 2, and the first limiting structure is provided on the socket 1, while in actual application, the buckle 22 can also be provided on the socket 1, and the first limiting structure is provided on the plug 2, which is not limited herein, and the person skilled in the art can make adjustments according to actual needs. In addition, the first limiting structure of the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to the protrusion provided on the plug 2 or the socket 1, and the clamping groove 111 provided on the plug 2 or the socket 1.
[0033] In one of the embodiments, the plug 2 is provided with the buckle 22, the socket 1 is provided with the first limiting structure, and the first limiting structure includes the protrusion provided on the socket 1 or the clamping groove 111 provided on the socket 1. In this way, the reliable connection of the plug 2 and the socket 1 can be realized by the cooperative connection of the buckle 22 and the protrusion, or the buckle 22 and the clamping groove 111.
[0034] It should be noted that the drawings of the present application only show the case that the first limiting structure is the clamping groove 111, while in actual application, the protrusion can also be used as the first limiting structure, which is not limited herein, and the person skilled in the art can make selections according to actual needs.
[0035] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the socket 1 includes a base 12 and a boss 11 provided on the base 12, the first limiting structure is provided on the boss 11, and the first electrical connecting member 14 is provided on the boss 11; the plug 2 has a mounting seat 26 for mounting the second electrical connecting member 28, in the case that the plug 2 and the socket 1 are plugged together, the boss 11 and the mounting seat 26 abut to electrically connect the second electrical connecting member 28 with the first electrical connecting member 14, and the buckle 22 is clamped with the first limiting structure.
[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the boss 11 and the mounting seat 26 are arranged, wherein the first electrical connecting piece 14 is arranged on the boss 11, and the second electrical connecting piece 28 is arranged on the mounting seat 26. In this way, when the plug 2 is plugged into the socket 1, the boss 11 can abut against the mounting seat 26, so as to realize the electrical connection between the first electrical connecting piece 14 and the second electrical connecting piece 28. This electrical connection mode is simple and reliable, and is beneficial to the reliable transmission of data or electric energy. At the same time, the first limiting structure arranged on the boss 11 can be clamped with the buckle 22, so as to avoid the plug 2 from being mistakenly unplugged, thereby improving the transmission reliability of data or electric energy.
[0037] In actual application, the socket 1 further comprises a first circuit board 13, and the plug 2 comprises a second circuit board 27. Specifically, the first circuit board 13 is arranged on the side of the base 12 away from the boss 11, one end of the first electrical connecting piece 14 close to the first circuit board 13 is electrically connected with the first circuit board 13, and the first circuit board 13 is electrically connected with a mainboard of an electronic device, such as a head-mounted display device. The second circuit board 27 is arranged in the mounting seat 26 and is electrically connected with the second electrical connecting piece 28. At least part of the cable 3 extends into the plug 2, and the wire of the cable 3 is electrically connected with the second circuit board 27. One end of the cable 3 away from the plug 2 is connected with an external power supply or an external device. In this way, electric energy or data can be transmitted and delivered to the mainboard of the head-mounted display device in sequence through the cable 3, the second circuit board 27, the second electrical connecting piece 28, the first electrical connecting piece 14 and the first circuit board 13, so as to realize the charging or data transmission of the head-mounted display device.
[0038] It should be noted that the first circuit board 13 and the second circuit board 27 can be a printed circuit board (PCB) or a flexible circuit board (FPC), which is not limited herein, and can be selected according to actual needs by those skilled in the art. In one of the embodiments, in order to facilitate the processing of the electrical connection structure, the first circuit board 13 is a flexible circuit board, and the second circuit board 27 is a printed circuit board.
[0039] In a specific application, the first electrical connecting member 14 and the second electrical connecting member 28 can be provided in plurality, and the first electrical connecting member 14 and the second electrical connecting member 28 are in one-to-one corresponding electrical contact. The first electrical connecting member 14 and the second electrical connecting member 28 can be a pogo pin or a metal connector (PAD). It can be understood that when at least one of the first electrical connecting member 14 and the second electrical connecting member 28 is a pogo pin, the first electrical connecting member 14 and the second electrical connecting member 28 can maintain electrical contact through the telescopic feature of the pogo pin when the plug 2 is tilted relative to the socket 1, which is conducive to improving the electrical connection reliability of the plug 2 and the socket 1. In one embodiment, the first electrical connecting member 14 and the second electrical connecting member 28 are provided in six, one first electrical connecting member 14 and one second electrical connecting member 28 are in corresponding electrical contact, wherein the first electrical connecting member 14 is a metal connector and the second electrical connecting member 28 is a pogo pin.
[0040] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the electrical connection structure further comprises an elastic reset member 24, which is arranged between the button 23 and the buckle 22. Pressing the button 23, the button 23 extrudes the elastic reset member 24 and pushes the buckle 22 to move to release the limitation of the first limiting structure on the buckle 22; or, the elastic reset member 24 is arranged between the button 23 and the first limiting structure. Pressing the button 23, the button 23 extrudes the elastic reset member 24 and pushes the first limiting structure to move to release the limitation of the first limiting structure on the buckle 22; releasing the button 23, the elastic reset member 24 pushes the button 23 to reset.
[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the elastic reset member 24 is arranged between the button 23 and the buckle 22, or between the button 23 and the first limiting structure. In this way, when the button 23 is pressed, the button 23 can extrude the elastic reset member 24 and push the buckle 22 or the first limiting structure to move to release the limitation of the first limiting structure on the buckle 22; at the same time, the elastic reset member 24 can store a certain elastic potential energy. When the button 23 is released, the elastic reset member 24 generates a restoring force and pushes the buckle 22 or the first limiting structure to reset. That is, through the cooperation of the button 23 and the elastic reset member 24, the movement or reset of the buckle 22 or the first limiting structure can be realized, so that the connection or disconnection of the buckle 22 and the first limiting structure can be realized. It should be noted that the elastic reset member 24 refers to a structure that can store elastic potential energy and generate a restoring force when the external force disappears. The elastic reset member 24 includes but is not limited to a spring.
[0042] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the electrical connection structure comprises at least two groups of keys 23, the at least two groups of keys 23 comprising a first key 231 and a second key 232, the first limiting structure being a clamping groove 111, the plug 2 and the socket 1 being detachably connected through at least two buckles 22 and at least two clamping grooves 111, the at least two buckles 22 comprising a first buckle 221 and a second buckle 222, and the at least two clamping grooves 111 comprising a first clamping groove 1111 and a second clamping groove 1112; in the case of cooperation and plugging of the plug 2 and the socket 1, the first buckle 221 is clamped with the first clamping groove 1111, and the second buckle 222 is clamped with the second clamping groove 1112; the first key 231 is used to push the first buckle 221 to move, and the first key 231 is pressed to release the limitation of the first clamping groove 1111 on the first buckle 221; the second key 232 is used to push the second buckle 222 to move, and the second key 232 is pressed to release the limitation of the second clamping groove 1112 on the second buckle 222. Generally, in the process of long-term use of the electrical connection structure, the buckle 22 needs to be frequently connected with the clamping groove 111, which belongs to consumables. Therefore, compared with only one group of buckles 22, clamping grooves 111 and keys 23 that cooperate with each other, when at least two groups of buckles 22, clamping grooves 111 and keys 23 that cooperate with each other are arranged, the problem that the buckle 22 and the clamping groove 111 cannot be reliably connected when the buckle 22 is damaged can be effectively avoided, which is beneficial to improve the connection reliability of the plug 2 and the socket 1.
[0043] In a specific application, the buckles 22, the clamping grooves 111 and the keys 23 are provided with two groups, i.e. the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222, the first clamping groove 1111 and the second clamping groove 1112, the first key 231 and the second key 232. The first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting seat 26, the first clamping groove 1111 and the second clamping groove 1112 are arranged on opposite sides of the boss 11, and the first key 231 and the second key 232 are arranged on opposite sides of the plug 2. For example, as shown in the drawings, the boss 11 is a cuboid boss, the length direction of the cuboid boss is the second direction Y, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X, the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting seat 26 along the second direction Y, the first clamping groove 1111 and the second clamping groove 1112 are arranged on opposite sides of the boss 11 along the second direction Y, the first key 231 and the second key 232 are arranged on opposite sides of the plug 2 along the second direction Y, and the first buckle 221, the first clamping groove 1111 and the second key 232 are located on the same side, and the second buckle 222, the second clamping groove 1112 and the first key 231 are located on the same side. In this way, when the first key 231 and the second key 232 are pressed, the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 can move away from each other, i.e. the first buckle 221 moves in a direction away from the first clamping groove 1111, and the second buckle 222 moves in a direction away from the second clamping groove 1112, so as to release the limitation of the first clamping groove 1111 on the first buckle 221 and the limitation of the second clamping groove 1112 on the second buckle 222, and then the plug 2 can be easily pulled out of the socket 1.
[0044] In the above-mentioned case of providing two groups of buckles 22, clamping grooves 111 and keys 23 cooperating with each other, one end of the elastic return member 24 is connected with the first buckle 221, and the other end of the elastic return member 24 is connected with the second buckle 222. In this way, when the first key 231 and the second key 232 are pressed at the same time, the first key 231 and the second key 232 can respectively push the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 to move away from each other, and at the same time, the elastic return member 24 connected with the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 is compressed, so as to store a certain elastic potential energy. When the first key 231 and the second key 232 are released at the same time, the elastic return member 24 generates a restoring force opposite to the pushing direction of the key 23, so as to push the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 to move towards each other, thereby achieving reset.
[0045] The following provides a connection mode of the elastic reset member 24 and the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222. It can be understood that the connection of the elastic reset member 24 and the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 is not limited to the connection mode, and those skilled in the art can adjust the connection mode. The first buckle 221 is provided with a first accommodating groove 2251, and the first accommodating groove 2251 is provided with a first baffle 2261 at one end close to the first key 231. The second buckle 222 is provided with a second accommodating groove 2252 at a corresponding position of the first accommodating groove 2251, and the second accommodating groove 2252 is provided with a second baffle 2262 at one end close to the second key 232. The electric connection structure further comprises an elastic reset member 24, the elastic reset member 24 is arranged in an accommodating space formed by the first accommodating groove 2251 and the second accommodating groove 2252, and one end of the elastic reset member 24 abuts against the first baffle 2261, and the other end of the elastic reset member 24 abuts against the second baffle 2262.
[0046] Generally, the elastic reset member 24, such as a spring, may be bent and deformed during being pressed, that is, the spring is difficult to stretch and contract in a certain direction all the time. Based on this, the first accommodating groove 2251 and the second accommodating groove 2252 are arranged at corresponding positions of the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 respectively, so as to form an accommodating space for accommodating the elastic reset member 24. In this way, the elastic reset member 24 can be limited in the accommodating space when being pressed, and the problem that the elastic reset member 24 is excessively bent and deformed to affect the reset of the first buckle 221 or the second buckle 222 can be avoided. In addition, since the first baffle 2261 and the second baffle 2262 are arranged, the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222 can be reset to the initial position and kept stationary by reliable abutment of the elastic reset member 24 against the first baffle 2261 and the second baffle 2262 respectively. This connection mode is simple and reliable, and is conducive to simplifying the structure of the electric connector.
[0047] It should be noted that, in order to make the elastic reset member 24 stretch and contract in a certain direction as much as possible, such as the second direction Y, the cross-sectional dimension of the accommodating space in the second direction Y should be matched with the cross-sectional dimension of the elastic reset member 24 in the second direction Y. In one of the embodiments, the accommodating groove 225, that is, the first accommodating groove 2251 and the second accommodating groove 2252, is an arc-shaped groove. In order to reduce the friction force of the relative movement of the first buckle 221 and the second buckle 222, one end of the first baffle 2261 close to the second accommodating groove 2252 and one end of the second baffle 2262 close to the first accommodating groove 2251 are arc-shaped.
[0048] In actual application, the magnetic reset member can be used to replace the elastic reset member 24. Specifically, the magnetic reset member includes first and second magnetic reset members which repel each other. The first magnetic reset member is connected with the first buckle 221, and the second magnetic reset member is connected with the second buckle 222. Specifically, the first magnetic reset member is fixedly connected with the first baffle 2261, and the second magnetic reset member is fixedly connected with the second baffle 2262. When the first and second keys 231 and 232 are pressed, the first and second buckles 221 and 222 can be pushed to move away from each other under the repulsion force of the first and second magnetic reset members. When the first and second keys 231 and 232 are released, the first and second buckles 221 and 222 can be pushed to move toward each other under the repulsion force of the first and second magnetic reset members, so as to reset the first and second buckles 221 and 222.
[0049] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the buckle 22 includes a connecting segment 224 and a clamping segment 223 which are connected with each other. The connecting segment 224 is connected with the key 23 at one end thereof which is away from the clamping segment 223. The clamping segment 223 is used to clamp the first limiting structure at one end thereof which is away from the connecting segment 224. The connecting segment 224 is provided with a receiving groove 225. The receiving groove 225 is provided with a baffle 226 at one end thereof which is close to the key 23. The electric connection structure further includes an elastic reset member 24 which is arranged in the receiving groove 225 and abuts against the baffle 226.
[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the clamping segment 223 and the connecting segment 224 are arranged. The clamping segment 223 is clamped with the first limiting structure, and the connecting segment 224 is connected with the key 23. In this way, when the key 23 is pressed, the connecting segment 224 can be driven to move, and the clamping segment 223 can be driven to move away from the first limiting structure, so as to release the limitation of the first limiting structure on the clamping segment 223. The connecting segment 224 is provided with the receiving groove 225. The receiving groove 225 is provided with the baffle 226 at one end thereof which is close to the key 23. The elastic reset member 24 is arranged in the receiving groove 225 and abuts against the baffle 226.
