Detailed Description
In order to make the embodiment of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
In embodiments of the present invention, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Example one
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, an embodiment of the invention provides a female connector 10, including: a housing 11, terminals 12 and a mating tongue 13.
The housing 11 has a receiving cavity formed therein, and a socket is opened at one end of the receiving cavity for the male connector 20 to be inserted into.
And the terminal 12 is fixedly arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the accommodating cavity is divided into a first inserting space and a second inserting space which are communicated with the socket. The first inserting space and the second inserting space are the same in height and are basically consistent in thickness with the butt joint end of the matched male connector 20, so that the male connector 20 can ensure that the size of the inserting space meets the actual requirement regardless of being inserted in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
The butt tongue plate 13 is movably mounted in the accommodating cavity along a direction perpendicular to the plate surface, is provided with a first plate surface and a second plate surface which are opposite, and is provided with a hollow area which penetrates through the first plate surface and the second plate surface, and the shape and the size of the hollow area are consistent with those of the terminal 12, so that the terminal 12 can penetrate through the butt tongue plate 13 in the moving process of the butt tongue plate 13 along the direction perpendicular to the plate surface, and interference on the movement of the butt tongue plate 13 can be avoided.
It should be noted that the movement path of the tongue plate 13 at least includes a first position and a second position, and when the tongue plate 13 moves to the first position, the terminal 12 is located on the first plate surface of the tongue plate 13; when the tongue plate 13 moves to the second position, the terminal 12 is located on the second plate surface of the tongue plate 13.
For convenience of description, the moving direction of the tongue docking plate 13 shown in fig. 4 is defined as a longitudinal direction, and a direction perpendicular to the moving direction is defined as a transverse direction, the accommodating cavity is longitudinally divided by the terminal 12 into a first inserting space at an upper portion and a second inserting space at a lower portion, and a plate surface facing the upper portion of the tongue docking plate 13 is a first plate surface and a plate surface facing the lower portion is a second plate surface.
Because the height position of the terminal 12 is fixed, the height position of the tongue plate 13 is adjustable, and a hollowed area corresponding to the terminal 12 is formed on the tongue plate 13, when the tongue plate 13 moves up and down, the terminal 12 can pass through the hollowed area of the tongue plate 13 and move up and down relative to the tongue plate 13. When the terminal of the male connector 20 is inserted into the first insertion space, the mating tongue 13 moves to the first position, and at this time, the terminal 12 of the female connector 10 is located on the first plate surface of the mating tongue 13 and is in contact connection with the terminal of the male connector 20; when the terminals of the male connector 20 are inserted into the second insertion space, the mating tongue 13 moves to the second position, and the terminals of the female connector 10 are located on the second plate surface of the mating tongue 13 and are in contact connection with the terminals of the male connector 20.
Since the terminals of the male connector 20 can be successfully inserted into the first and second inserting spaces, respectively, the female connector 10 of the present embodiment is suitable for both forward and reverse insertion of the male connector 20 in the longitudinal direction.
The movable mounting of the tongue plate 13 can be realized by using an elastic element 14 as shown in fig. 4, for example: at the end of the tongue 13 remote from the socket, at least one elastic element 14 is movably mounted in the housing. The elastic element 14 may be a spring or any other elastic substance having a natural state and a compressed state.
For convenience of application, the state of the elastic element 14 in the forward insertion state can be designed to be a natural state, and the butt tongue plate 13 is at an initial position (such as a first position) and can perform its basic function without moving; at the same time, the state of the elastic element 14 in the reverse insertion state is designed to be a compressed state, in which case upon reverse insertion of the male connector 20, the user needs to overcome the small elastic force to move the docking tongue 13 to a new position (e.g., the second position) in order to enable successful insertion of the male connector 20, as shown in fig. 5 and 6.
Of course, the articulation can be achieved in any conventional manner other than by the use of the elastic element 14, and the invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 5, the end of the mating tongue 13 of the female connector 10 near the socket and the head of the insertion section of the male connector 20 are formed with guiding chamfers, which effectively guide the mating tongue 13 downward during the reverse insertion.
Example two
As shown in fig. 7 to 9, the present embodiment provides another female connector 10 including: a housing 11, terminals 12 'and a mating tongue 13'.
The housing 11 is formed with a receiving cavity therein, and a socket is formed at one end of the receiving cavity for the male connector 20 to be inserted into.
The butt tongue plate 13' is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity along the direction vertical to the plate surface of the butt tongue plate, so that the accommodating cavity is divided into a first inserting space and a second inserting space which are respectively communicated with the inserting ports; the tongue butt plate 13' has a first plate surface and a second plate surface opposite to each other. The relative height of the first inserting space and the second inserting space is adjustable, so that the size of the inserting space into which the male connector 20 is inserted can be ensured to meet the actual requirement regardless of the forward insertion or the reverse insertion of the male connector 20.
The terminals 12' include a first row of terminals and a second row of terminals, the first row of terminals is fixed on the first board, and the second row of terminals is fixed on the second board.
The difference from the first embodiment is that in the second embodiment, a row of terminals is respectively disposed on the upper and lower plate surfaces of the tongue plate 13' to connect with the terminals of the male connector 20 inserted into the insertion space.
The movable mounting of the tongue abutment plate 13' can be realized by using an elastic element 14 as shown in fig. 7, for example: at the end of the tongue 13' remote from the socket, at least one elastic element 14 is movably mounted in the receiving chamber. The resilient member 14 may be a spring having a natural state and a compressed state.
Similarly, for the convenience of application, the state of the elastic element 14 in the forward insertion state can be designed to be a natural state, and the tongue plate 13' is in an initial position (e.g., a first position) and can perform its basic function without moving; meanwhile, the state of the elastic element 14 in the reverse insertion state is designed to be a compressed state, and when the male connector 20 is inserted reversely, the user needs to overcome the smaller elastic force to move the docking tongue 13' to a new position (such as the second position) so that the male connector 20 is successfully inserted and is in contact connection with the terminal of the corresponding board of the female connector 10, as shown in fig. 8 and 9.
EXAMPLE III
The present embodiment provides an electronic device including the female connector 10 according to the first or second embodiment. The electronic device may be a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a television, a camera, and other electronic devices with various interface application requirements.
The above-mentioned embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
