表1-首字母缩略词和缩写
PCB 印刷电路板
HSSDC 高速串行数据连接器
连接到形成在印刷电路板(PCB)上的电路通常需要将线材和连接器焊接到PCB上。焊接占用时间并且需要焊接设备。此外，如果出于任何原因需要移除PCB，则需要将线材和连接器退焊，再次占用时间并需要特殊设备。
本领域已尝试改善终端配件和电路板之间的接触可靠性。这些通常涉及使终端配件弹性地与电路板的边缘部分上的并置部件接触。例如，美国专利6,276,943提出一种连接器，该连接器适于由模块化插头和具有极化狭槽的插座组成的高速串行数据连接器(HSSDC)系统，该插头和插座可彼此连接并且使用不需要任何预焊接的模块化设计组装到连接器。
美国专利5,997,343描述了被推入传感器连接器的插入狭槽的传感器插头。当插入传感器插头时，前缘接合弹簧接触件，提起弹簧接触件并导致该弹簧接触件中的两个弹簧接触件触碰开关接触件。当传感器插头继续插入时，传感器突片在接触块和底壳之间滑动，使得弹簧接触件和插头接触件保持电连接。
发明内容
由于需要使用相对昂贵的柔性-刚性PCB来满足导管柄部中的空间约束，因此将现有方法应用到导管柄部设计引起高的劳动和材料成本。使用根据本发明构造的适配器的装置组件诸如导管柄部被简化，同时大量减少劳动力和材料成本二者。适配器可以适应廉价的PCB(刚性PCB)。
本发明的实施方案提供适配器，该适配器通过滑动到PCB的边缘中而不是通过焊接而连接到PCB的焊盘。该适配器具有一组双侧连接部。在连接部的接收PCB的一侧上，存在弹簧加载的导电“指状物”，其终止于被配置成接触PCB焊盘的“弯头”。在连接部的另一侧上是凸形销或凹形插座。适配器被包封在壳体中，并且存在形成在壳体中的导向件，该导向件引导PCB与适配器的指状物配合，使得指状物的弯头与焊盘配合。
根据本发明的实施方案提供了一种边缘卡连接器组件，该边缘卡连接器组件包括具有卡侧部分的外壳、能够连接到缆线的束具侧部分，以及位于所述卡侧部分和所述束具侧部分之间的壁。该卡侧部分适于在入口平面中沿边缘将平面结构接收在该卡侧部分中。边缘卡连接器具有多个弹性电接触构件，该多个弹性电接触构件延伸穿过壁，并且适于与缆线在束具侧部分中电连接以及与平面结构在卡侧部分中电连接。上接触构件和下接触构件分别设置在平面的上方和下方，使得所接收的平面结构撞击接触构件以推动上接触构件和下接触构件远离该平面，并且上接触构件和下接触构件在相应的接触点处在平面结构的上表面和下表面上施加相反的保持压力。
根据组件的另一个方面，该接触构件包括指状物部分和弯头，该指状物部分大体从壁延伸到该弯头。接触构件的至少一部分的弯头在相应接触点中的一个接触点处与平面结构流电接触。
根据组件的附加方面，指状物部分是弹性的。
根据组件的另一个方面，接触构件被布置为位于平面上方的上组排和位于平面下方的下组排。
根据组件的附加方面，上组排和下组排总计五排。
根据组件的一个方面，在上组排中有三排，并且在下组排中有两排。
根据组件的又一个方面，存在34个接触构件。
根据组件的另一个方面，外壳的卡侧部分具有相对的侧壁和形成在侧壁中的一对狭槽，该狭槽限定平面并且在该平面中接收平面结构。
根据组件的一个方面，狭槽在壁处终止。
根据组件的又一个方面，在束具侧部分中，接触构件终止为用于缆线的销连接器。
根据组件的另一个方面，在束具侧部分中，接触构件终止为用于缆线的插座连接器。
根据组件的又一个方面，平面结构为印刷电路板，该印刷电路板具有在接触点处与接触构件配合的电接触件。
根据本发明的实施方案还提供了通过在导管中提供柄部来实行的方法。该柄部具有设置在其中的边缘卡连接器。该方法还通过将边缘卡和缆线束具连接到边缘卡连接器来实行，其中边缘卡连接器包括具有卡侧部分的外壳、能够连接到缆线束具的束具侧部分，以及位于该卡侧部分和束具侧部分之间的壁。该卡侧部分适于在入口平面中沿边缘将平面结构接收在卡侧部分中。边缘卡连接器具有多个弹性电接触构件，该多个弹性电接触构件延伸穿过壁并且适于与缆线在束具侧部分中电连接，以及与平面结构在卡侧部分中电连接。上接触构件和下接触构件分别设置在平面的上方和下方，使得所接收的平面结构撞击接触构件以推动上接触构件和下接触构件远离平面，并且上接触构件和下接触构件在相应的接触点处在平面结构的上表面和下表面上施加相反的保持压力。
附图说明
为更好地理解本发明，就本发明的详细说明以举例的方式做出参考，该详细说明应结合以下附图来阅读，其中类似的元件用类似的附图标号来表示，并且其中：
图1是穿过根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡适配器的倾斜的部分卡侧正视图；
图2是穿过根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡适配器的中间节段的束具侧截面图；
图3是图1所示的边缘卡适配器的倾斜卡侧正视图，该边缘卡适配器包括根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡；
图4是图1所示的边缘卡适配器的接触构件的侧正视图，其中该接触构件插入有根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡；并且
图5是根据本发明的另选实施方案的边缘卡适配器的正视图。
具体实施方式
在以下描述中，列出了许多具体细节，以便提供对本发明的各种原理的全面理解。然而，对于本领域的技术人员而言将显而易见的是，并非所有这些细节都是实践本发明所必需的。
以引用方式并入本文的文献将被视作本申请的整体部分，不同的是，就任何术语在这些并入文件中以与本说明书中明确或隐含地作出的定义矛盾的方式定义而言，应仅考虑本说明书中的定义。
现在转向附图，首先参考图1，图1为穿过根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡适配器10的倾斜的部分卡侧截面(前视)图。边缘卡适配器10具有外壳12、后凸缘14、中间节段16以及卡耦合节段18，该后凸缘14适于连接到缆线束具(未示出)，该中间节段16使缆线束具稳定，该卡耦接节段18沿边缘接收卡诸如PCB。在一个应用中，边缘卡适配器10位于导管柄部内，并且用作接口，该接口能够经由延伸缆线插座连接器来传递来自导管电路板的电信号。例如，在共同转让的美国专利申请公布2013/0296729中描述了该类导管柄部，该专利申请以引用方式并入本文。
可以由塑料制成的该卡耦接节段18包括围起来的室20，该室具有形成在其中的狭槽22以限定入口平面。狭槽22的尺寸被合适地设定成沿边缘接收卡。在图1的示例中，狭槽22延伸到后壁24以形成卡的止挡件。另选地，狭槽22可为更短的并且未延伸到后壁24。
从室20的后壁24向外延伸的是分别位于狭槽22上方的有弹力的上接触构件36的上组平行排26、28、30和位于狭槽22下方的有弹力的下接触构件38的下组平行排32、34。接触构件可为镀金镍。本文任意使用术语“上方”、“下方”、“向上”和“向下”、“上”和“下”来区分上接触构件34和下接触构件38相对于边缘卡和狭槽22的关系和运动。相对于边缘卡适配器10的实际配置，这些术语没有物理意义。在该示例中，上组排和下组排分别包括三排和两排。在其他实施方案中，排的数量可随不同排中的接触构件的数量而变化。密度，即在相邻接触构件的近侧可与边缘卡的尺寸相适应。
现在参考图2，该图为穿过根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡适配器10的中间节段16的束具侧截面图。接触构件36、38(图1)的向后延伸部可以是适于与配合插座连接器的销配合的插座，该插座连接器是缆线的部分(未示出)。另选地，接触构件36、38可以是适于与配合接收器连接器的插座配合的销。该示例性实施方案提供34个接触件40，该接触件40在接触构件的五个平行排中被分成：三个上排26、28、30和两个下排32、34。
现在参考图3，该图为类似于图1的边缘卡适配器10的倾斜卡侧正视图，其包括根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡42的截面图。可以是刚性电路板的边缘卡42占据狭槽22(图1)。上排26、28、30和下排32、34中的接触构件36、38是有弹力的并且当边缘卡的上表面和下表面接触该上接触构件36和下接触构件38时，通过将边缘卡42插入到狭槽22中来分别向上和向下移位(即，远离由狭槽22限定的平面)。所有上接触构件36和下接触构件38充当在边缘卡上配合电接触件的擦拭接触件。将边缘卡42继续插入，直到后壁24阻止边缘卡42的进一步推进。将擦拭接触件反复插入在边缘卡42中并从边缘卡适配器10移除的应用中是自清洁的。
现在参考图4，该图是插入有根据本发明的实施方案的边缘卡42的接触构件36、38的侧视图。在它们的卡侧节段中，接触构件具有终止于弯头46中的有弹力的指状物部分44。
接触件40出现在销48的束具侧末端处。边缘卡42的上表面在压力点50、52、54处被上接触构件36按压。边缘卡42的下表面在压力点56、58处被下接触构件38按压。所有压力点对应于边缘卡42上的配合电接触件(未示出)。在没有焊接的情况下实现边缘卡42与上接触构件36和下接触构件38的弯头46之间的流电接触。
另选的实施方案
现在参考图5，该图为根据本发明的另选实施方案的边缘卡适配器60的正视图。边缘卡适配器60类似于上述的实施方案，不同的是其旨在永久地接合边缘卡64，使得边缘卡适配器60和边缘卡64不可分离。
外壳62设有延伸件66。两个卡扣夹具68具有到延伸件66的附接件70并且略微延伸超过延伸件66的自由端部。当边缘卡64插入到边缘卡适配器60中时，夹具68接触边缘卡64的凸缘72。如箭头74所示，夹具68向内枢转，并且可以在边缘卡64的凹痕76内卡扣就位，使得防止边缘卡64脱离边缘卡适配器60。
本领域的技术人员应当理解，本发明不限于上文具体示出和描述的内容。相反，本发明的范围包括上文所述各种特征的组合与子组合两者，以及本领域的技术人员在阅读上述说明书时可想到的未在现有技术范围内的上述各种特征的变型和修改。
