Detachable Connection Port for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current connectors on electronic devices are prone to malfunction and breakage due to frequent plugging and unplugging, leading to high repair costs and user inconvenience, as they are typically mounted using surface mount technology and require entire device repair when damaged.
Innovation Solution
A detachable connection port system with a fastening element allows users to easily replace the connector by loosening and fastening it, using a sub circuit board with a golden finger and socket connectors that can be electrically connected to a board-to-board connector, enabling replacement without professional repair.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If connectors are mounted using surface mount technology or other strip-type forms, then the connection is stable and reliable, but when damaged the entire device must be sent for repair resulting in high repair costs and time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is divided into a fixed portion (integrated with the housing) and a detachable portion (socket connector that can be removed and replaced independently). This segmentation allows the socket connector to be replaced without affecting the entire device, resolving the contradiction between maintaining reliable connections and enabling easy repair.
2Adaptability or versatility
If connectors undergo multiple times of plugging and unplugging, then power charging and data transmission functions are provided, but the connector becomes susceptible to abnormal external forces and unaligned plugging leading to breakage or poor contact
Solution Approach 1:
The connector design incorporates a detachable socket connector that can be easily removed and reattached. This dynamic design allows users to replace damaged connectors without complex repair procedures, maintaining functionality while improving durability through simple replacement rather than repair of worn components.
3Stability of the object's composition
If connectors are fixed in housings by other strip-type forms, then the installation is stable, but replacement requires professional repair services and substantial time investment
Solution Approach 1:
The socket connector is extracted from the traditional fixed mounting approach and designed as a standalone detachable component. It can be removed from the housing through the opening and replaced by users without requiring professional repair services, thus reducing repair time while maintaining installation stability through the fastening element.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a detachable connection port and an electronic device having the same. The detachable connection port is detachably assembled at an electronic device, which includes a board-to-board connector. The detachable connector includes a sub circuit board and a socket connector. The sub circuit board includes a golden finger. The socket connector is fixed at and electrically connected to the sub circuit board, and includes an installation portion. The socket connector is installed at the electronic device through the installation portion, and is electrically connected to the board-to-board connector through the golden finger. Thus, the detachable connection port achieves an advantage of easy replacement, further reducing repair costs and standby time for a user.
