At least two heat sinks 3 are respectively installed at the upper portions of the accommodating spaces 44 at the outer sides of the top walls 41 to dissipate heat of the electronic devices installed in the accommodating spaces 442.
FIG. 7 is a perspective schematic view of a mounting clip according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 8 is a top view of the mounting clip shown in FIG. 7; FIG. 9 is a side view of the mounting clip shown in FIG. 7; FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the mounting clip of FIG. 9 taken along line N-N; fig. 11 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion C shown in fig. 7; fig. 12 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion D shown in fig. 8.
Referring to fig. 1, 5 and 7-12, in one exemplary embodiment, mounting clip 1 is made from a single piece of sheet metal or a single piece of rigid plastic and includes: at least one strip-shaped main body portion 11, at least one pair of retaining arms 12, and a plurality of locking portions 13. Each pair of the holding arms 12 is connected to both sides of the main body portion 11, and includes a first connecting arm 121 extending upward substantially perpendicularly to the main body portion 11 and a holding arm 122 extending from one end of the first connecting arm 121 away from the main body portion 11 and substantially perpendicularly to the first connecting arm 121. At least two locking portions 13 extend from the main body portion 11 toward each other.
As shown in fig. 1, 2, 4-7 and 12, each main body portion 11 is disposed between two adjacent heat sinks 3, the holding arms 122 extend onto the top surfaces of the heat sinks 3, respectively, and at least two locking portions 13 abut against the lower portions of the first projecting portions 22 from opposite sides of one or both positioning portions 21, respectively, to lock the mounting clip 1 on the positioning portions 21. Since the locking portions 13 abut against the lower portions of the first projecting portions 22 from the opposite sides of the positioning portion 21, respectively, the mounting clip 1 cannot be disengaged from the partition plate 2 in the up-down direction (the excessive direction in fig. 6) while being unable to move in the longitudinal direction with respect to the housing 4, thereby firmly locking the mounting clip 1 to the positioning portion 21. Further, the mounting clip reliably holds the heat sink to the housing of the electronic device, ensuring the heat radiation effect of the heat sink.
Referring to fig. 5, 6, 10-12, in an exemplary embodiment, each locking portion 13 is formed as a leaf spring structure that is obtained from the body portion 11 by using a stamping, shearing, and bending process. The locking portion 13 includes a second connecting arm 131 and a locking arm 132, one end of the second connecting arm 131 is connected to the main body portion 11, and the locking arm 132 is connected to the other end of the second connecting arm 131 and extends obliquely away from the main body portion 11. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the positioning portion 21 and the first projecting portion 22 constitute a substantially T-shaped structure, and the positioning portion projecting out of the top wall 41 has a substantially trapezoidal shape, thereby increasing the contact area with the lock arm.
As shown in fig. 11, in an exemplary embodiment, a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped groove 133 is formed at an end portion of the locking arm 132, and the positioning portion 21 is partially inserted into the groove 133, thereby improving stability of the coupling of the positioning portion 21 with the locking arm 132.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, two adjacent locking arms 132 of the plurality of locking portions extend obliquely toward each other away from the main body portion 11. Two adjacent locking arms 132 abut against the lower portion of the first protrusion 22 on opposite sides of one positioning portion 21, respectively. As shown in the top view of fig. 11, a predetermined space exists between the free ends of the two locking arms 132 facing each other. In this way, when the housing assembly 100 is assembled, the latch-type locking arm 132 is elastically expanded, allowing the locking portion 13 of the main body portion 11 of the mounting clip 1 to pass through the first projecting portion 22 projecting from the top wall 41 of the housing 4, and after the locking arm 132 passes over the first projecting portion 22, one side of the locking arm 132 is automatically restored and elastically abuts on both front and rear sides of the positioning portion 21, and the free end of the locking arm 132 abuts on the lower portion of the first projecting portion 22. Thus, the mounting clip 1 cannot be disengaged from the partition plate 2 in the up-down direction (height direction in fig. 6) while being immovable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the housing 4, thereby securely locking the mounting clip 1 to the positioning portion 21.
As shown in fig. 1, 5, 7, 9 and 11, in one embodiment, each of the main body portions 11 of the mounting clip 1 is provided at both ends thereof with a pair of widthwise extending retaining arms 12, respectively. Two holding arms 12 protruding from adjacent two main body portions 11 are connected to each other. The mounting clip 1 further comprises one or two side plates 14, the side plates 14 being connected between two outermost retaining arms, respectively, each of said side plates being provided with at least one mounting hole 141. The outer sides of both side walls 43 of the case 2 are respectively provided with at least one second protrusion 45, and the second protrusions 45 are respectively coupled to the mounting holes 141 to fix the side plates 14 thereto. It will be appreciated that the side plates 14 and the retaining arms 12 enclose an enclosed space and that the body portion 11 is connected between the retaining arms 12. Thus, the mounting clip 1 can be made of a single metal sheet by mechanical processing such as shearing, stamping, bending and the like, and has simple structure and lower manufacturing cost.
In one embodiment, each retaining arm 12 is provided with a downwardly curved spring portion 123, and the spring portion 123 is in resilient contact with the upper surface of the heat sink 3, so that the heat sink can be securely mounted on the top wall 41 of the housing 4.
Referring to fig. 1, in the case where the electronic device is an electrical connector, the housing 4 has a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the front of the housing is provided with an opening for receiving a mating electrical connector. The lower portion of the housing is provided with a plurality of pins 46 for mounting to a mounting device such as a circuit board.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1, 4 and 5, a plurality of mounting legs 23 are further provided on and under the partition plate 2, and the mounting legs 23 are respectively passed through the top wall 41 and the bottom wall 42 of the case 4 and bent, thereby fixing the partition plate. The lower portion of the partition 2 is provided with a plurality of pins 24 for mounting to a mounting device such as a circuit board.
When the heat sink 3 needs to be mounted on the housing 4, the heat sink 3 is first placed on the upper surface of the housing between the two rows of positioning portions 21; thereafter placing the mounting clip 1 on the heat sink 3 with the locking portions 13 of the mounting clip 1 aligned with the first protrusions 22 of the partition 2 and the side plates 14 outside the side walls 43 of the housing 4; thereafter, the mounting clip 1 is pressed downward so that the locking portion 13 of the main body portion 11 of the mounting clip 1 passes through the first projecting portion 22 projecting out of the top wall 41 of the housing 4; after the locking arm 132 passes over the first protrusion 132, one side of the locking arm 132 elastically abuts on both front and rear sides of the positioning portion 21, the free end of the locking arm 132 abuts on the lower portion of the first protrusion 22, and the mounting hole 141 of the side plate 14 is hung on the second protrusion 45 of the side wall 43 of the housing 4. In this way, the mounting clip 1 can firmly hold the heat sink 3 on the housing 4.
The embodiment in which 2 partition plates 2 are provided in the case 4 is described above, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. As required, 1, 3, 4 or even more partitions may be provided within the housing to accommodate a different number of electrical connectors, and accordingly, 1, 3, 4 body portions may be provided on the mounting clip.
FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a mounting clip according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view of a housing assembly according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
In the above embodiment, the two adjacent locking arms 132 of the mounting clip 1 abut against the lower portions of the first projecting portions 22 on the opposite sides of one positioning portion 21, respectively. In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, two locking arms 132 of the mounting clip 1, which are inclined toward each other, abut against lower portions of the first protrusions with both sides of the two positioning portions, respectively.

According to the mounting clip and the housing assembly of the above embodiment of the present disclosure, the locking arms of the locking portions abut against the lower portions of the first protrusions from the opposite sides of one or both of the positioning portions, respectively, so that the mounting clip cannot be disengaged from the partition plate in the up-down direction while being immovable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the housing, thereby securely locking the mounting clip 1 to the positioning portions. Further, the mounting clip reliably holds the heat sink to the housing of the electronic device, ensuring the heat radiation effect of the heat sink. In addition, in the mounting process, the mounting clip is only required to be pressed to a proper position, and the locking part and the positioning part are not required to be further operated, so that the operation of mounting the heat sink is simplified.
