In addition, the width of the elastic contact piece 20 is larger than a set value to ensure that the elastic terminal has a sufficient contact width, thereby improving the effect of the electric connection.
In order to facilitate understanding of the structure of the elastic terminal provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments.
The embodiment of the invention provides an elastic terminal, which comprises a U-shaped bending bracket 10, as shown in fig. 2, the U-shaped bending bracket 10 comprises two bending side walls 11 and a horizontal part connected between the two bending side walls 11, and the bending bracket 10 is formed in an integral forming mode during specific formation, and can be directly formed in a stamping mode during specific preparation. In order to facilitate the fixation of the entire elastic terminal, a positioning leg 12 and a welding leg 13 are provided on each of the bent side walls 11, and when the positioning leg 12 and the welding leg 13 are specifically provided, they are formed integrally with the bent side walls 11. Thereby increasing the strength of the entire bending bracket 10 and further improving the stability of the entire elastic terminal when fixing the bending bracket 10.
When the positioning leg 12 and the welding leg 13 are specifically provided, as shown in fig. 2, the structure of the entire bending bracket 10 is shown in fig. 2, wherein for the positioning leg 12 and the welding leg 13, reference may be made to the arrangement shown in fig. 2, wherein the positioning leg 12 and the welding leg 13 are provided along an end surface of the bending side wall 11 and are arranged along the length direction of the end surface, and the end surface is an end of the bending side wall 11 facing away from the horizontal portion. When the positioning pin 12 is installed, it can be seen as an extension of the bent sidewall 11, so that the length direction thereof is approximately parallel to the length direction of the bent sidewall 11 (the direction perpendicular to the horizontal portion after bending), and when in use, it can be inserted into the insertion hole on the circuit board corresponding to the elastic terminal for positioning. In addition, for the soldering pin 13, the soldering pin 13 adopts a bending structure, that is, when the soldering pin 13 and the bending side wall 11 are an integral structure, the soldering pin 13 is a structure formed by bending the bending side wall 11 to the outside, and the soldering pin 13 is pressed on the circuit board and soldered with the circuit board, so as to fix the elastic terminal.
As can be seen from the structure shown in fig. 2, when the bent bracket 10 is specifically provided, the entire elastic terminal has four terminal pins: two positioning pins 12 and two welding pins 13, and when the elastic terminal is connected with the circuit board, the elastic terminal is firstly positioned with the circuit board through the two positioning pins 12, and then is directly welded on the circuit board through the two welding pins 13. And when setting up two location feet 12 and two welding feet 13, location foot 12 and welding feet 13 bisymmetry set up the both sides at the horizontal part to made things convenient for whole fixed of the support 10 of bending, and adopt the mode that location foot 12 and welding foot 13 set up with the support 10 is integrative, improved whole support intensity of the support 10 of bending, and then improved whole elastic terminal's assembly accuracy and stability.
Referring to fig. 3 together, fig. 3 shows the structure of the elastic contact piece 20 of the elastic terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, as can be seen from fig. 3, the elastic contact piece 20 provided in this embodiment has one end connected to the bent bracket 10 and the other end as a free end, and the elastic terminal maintains a positive force by the deformation of the elastic contact piece 20 when the elastic terminal is used. In order to improve the reliability of the elastic terminal in use, when the elastic contact piece 20 is specifically arranged, the width of the elastic contact piece 20 is larger than a set value, and the width is the width of the end part of the elastic contact piece 20 contacting with other parts, such as the width d marked in fig. 3, so as to ensure that the elastic contact piece 20 has enough contact area to perform electrical connection contact. As in a specific embodiment, the set value is 1mm, which is much larger than the width of the terminal in the prior art, thereby improving the electrical connection strength of the elastic contact piece 20.
With continuing reference to fig. 3 and 4, as can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, the elastic contact piece 20 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is disposed at the end of the horizontal portion near the welding foot 13, so that the elastic contact piece 20 can be closer to the welding foot 13, and the stability of the elastic contact piece 20 when it is deformed can be improved.
Specifically, when the elastic contact piece 20 is disposed, the elastic contact piece 20 is a bent structure, and a triangular shape is formed after bending, specifically, referring to the structure shown in fig. 4, for convenience of describing the structure of the elastic contact piece 20, the elastic contact piece 20 is divided into a first U-shaped bent portion 22 and a second U-shaped bent portion 23 according to bending, and it should be understood that the first U-shaped bent portion 22 and the second U-shaped bent portion 23 are an integral structure and formed by bending a metal sheet for multiple times. One side wall of the first U-shaped bending portion 22 is connected to one end of the bending support 10, the other side wall is connected to one side wall of the second U-shaped bending portion 23, and the other side wall of the second U-shaped bending portion 23 extends into the bending support 10.
In the specific setting, a side wall of the first U-shaped bending portion 22 deviates from the opening direction of the bending support 10, specifically referring to fig. 3 and 4, it can be seen that the bending side wall 11, which is located on the horizontal portion and is connected to the bending support 10, of the first U-shaped bending portion 22 is respectively arranged on both sides of the horizontal portion, so that the elastic contact piece 20 has a sufficient working stroke to generate elastic deformation. By adopting a triangular bent structure as the elastic contact piece 20 and adopting one end of the elastic contact piece 20 to be connected with the bent bracket 10 through one bent structure, the yield force of the elastic contact piece 20 is improved, and the effect of the whole elastic terminal in electric connection is further improved. Furthermore, the end of the first U-shaped bending portion 22 connected to the horizontal portion has an arc-shaped bend. The structural strength of the contact terminal is improved. The positive force provided by the entire resilient contact strip 20 when it is resiliently deformed is further increased.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the two bent side walls 11 are provided with a baffle 14 towards the end of the resilient contact strip 20, and a gap is provided between the two baffles 14 for the side wall of the second U-shaped bend 23 to pass through; correspondingly, a protrusion which is pressed and contacted with the baffle plate 14 is arranged at one end of the second U-shaped bending part 23 inserted into the opening of the bending bracket 10. Therefore, the baffle plate 14 limits the bending shape of the elastic contact piece 20, so that the elastic contact piece 20 has certain elastic force, and the problem that the opening angle of the second U-shaped bending part 23 is too large under the action of the self elastic force, so that the function of the whole elastic contact piece 20 is failed is avoided. Referring to fig. 2, the structure in which the second U-shaped bent portion 23 is inserted into the bent bracket 10 forms a T-shaped structure, and the T-shaped structure is blocked by the two blocking plates 14, so that the elastic contact piece 20 is bent to form a triangular shape.
In order to improve the structural strength of the entire elastic terminal, the elastic contact piece 20 and the bent bracket 10 may be integrally formed, thereby improving the structural strength of the entire elastic terminal. Of course, other structures can also be provided by adopting an integral structure, and the protrusion and the second U-shaped bending part 23 are integral structures. Of course, for other structural members, an integral structure may be employed. Preferably, the entire elastic terminal is an integrated structure, that is, the elastic contact piece 20 and the bent bracket 10, and the structure on the elastic contact piece 20 and the structure on the bent bracket 10 are integrated, so that the structural strength of the entire elastic terminal is improved.
As can be seen from the above description, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the stability and the contact strength of the entire elastic terminal, the stability of the entire elastic terminal is improved by providing the positioning leg 12 and the welding leg 13 at the time of installation, and the positive force provided by the elastic contact piece 20 is improved by adopting a structure in which one end of the elastic contact piece 20 is fixedly connected to the back of the bent bracket 10 and the other end is inserted into the bent bracket 10 as a free end. To change the stress of the resilient contact strip 20 when it is deformed. When the elastic contact piece 20 is deformed, the stress is distributed at the bending position of the first U-shaped bending portion 22 and the position where the first U-shaped bending portion 22 is connected with the horizontal portion, and the stress is small. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows that different deformation amounts of the elastic contact piece 20 correspond to the provided positive force, and as shown in fig. 5, when the compression reaches 0.8mm, the positive force can be provided to be 1.4N, and a larger positive force can be provided in a shorter working stroke than the elastic terminal in the prior art.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include such modifications and variations.
