Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will make the advantages and features of the invention easier to understand by those skilled in the art, and thus will clearly and clearly define the scope of the invention.
An interface module includes a substrate 1 having a first connection face; a plurality of contact pins 2, each contact pin 2 comprising an interconnection end and a contact end plugged with the first connection surface of the substrate 1; a shielding unit is provided on the substrate 1, the shielding unit including a first mounting position at which the first contact pin combination is shielded and a second mounting position at which the second contact pin combination is shielded.
When different contact pin combinations are shielded, the interface module becomes a different interface. The interface module of the invention can combine two interfaces into one, and the consumer can change the function of the interface according to the needs. For example, when the first contact pin combination is shielded, the interface module is an M-type NGFF interface module, and when the second contact pin combination is shielded, the interface module is an E-type NGFF interface module. The M type can be used as an SSD interface module, and the E type can be used as a 4G/5G mobile network card. In the embodiment, the mobile internet can be used as the E type when mobile internet access is needed, and can be used as the M type when a computer hard disk is needed to be added.
The contact pins 2 have different directions, the interconnection ends of some of the contact pins 2 extend upwards to form an upper connection side, the interconnection ends of other contact pins 2 extend downwards to form a lower connection side, and the first contact pin combination or the second contact pin combination is arranged on the lower connection side, so that when the contact pins 2 need to be shielded, the contact pins 2 in the first contact pin combination or the second contact pin combination on the lower connection side are prevented from communicating with the outside, and then the shielding effect can be achieved. It should be noted that the position of the shield may be any position of the contact pin 2, such as the position immediately adjacent to the connection between the substrate 1 and the contact pin 2, the end of the interconnection end of the contact pin 2. The location of the shielding of the contact pin 2 does not limit the scope of protection of the invention.
The shielding unit can be a press block 3, when the contact pins 2 need to be shielded, the press block 3 presses different contact pin 2 combinations to prevent the contact pins 2 from being connected with the connector, and the signal shielding effect can be achieved. Of course, other shielding methods are possible, such as cutting off the signal from the contact pin 2, disconnecting the contact pin 2 from the substrate 1, or moving the position of the contact pin 2. The difference in the way of shielding the contact pin 2 does not limit the scope of protection of the invention.
The shielding unit comprises a first surface for contacting the contact pin 2 and a second surface facing outwards, the second surface being cambered. The user may insert incorrectly during the insertion process because the inserted improper connector may violently collide with the shielding unit, and the cambered surface may not only weaken the collision, but also play a role in guiding the insertion.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of an interface module according to the present invention, and fig. 2 to 5 illustrate a variation of the interface module of fig. 1.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shielding unit is rotatably provided on the base plate 1 by a rotating shaft 5, and the shielding unit is switched between the first mounting position and the second mounting position about the rotating shaft 5. The shielding unit comprises a press piece 3 for contacting the contact pin 2 and a connecting rod 4 connected to the press piece 3 for connecting to the rotating shaft 5. A groove for accommodating the connecting rod 4 is provided in the base plate 1, and the connecting rod 4 is accommodated in the groove when the shielding unit is at the first mounting position and the second mounting position.
The connecting rod 4 may take various forms, for example, two parallel connecting rods 4 may be provided, connected to an upper region of the pressing block 3 and a lower region of the pressing block 3, respectively. The connecting rod 4 connected to the upper region of the pressing block 3 is longer than the connecting rod 4 connected to the lower region of the pressing block 3. The upper link 4 may be always above during rotation, and this arrangement may keep the compact 3 always above the upper region, i.e. the compact 3 remains upright. This arrangement can result in longer product life. Correspondingly, two step surfaces with different heights can be arranged on the base plate 1 to accommodate the two connecting rods 4, the connecting rod 4 connected with the upper area of the pressing block 3 is arranged on the higher step, and the connecting rod 4 connected with the lower area of the pressing block 3 is arranged on the lower step.
In other embodiments of the invention, the shielding element may be slidably connected to the substrate 1, the shielding element being movable between a first mounting position and a second mounting position. Shielding the first contact pin combination when the shielding unit is moved to the first mounting position; when the shielding unit is moved to the second mounting position, the second contact pin combination is shielded. Of course other extensions are possible, such as providing a third mounting position between the first and second mounting positions, the third contact pin combination being shielded when the shielding unit is moved to the third mounting position.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the substrate 1 includes a first accommodating chamber and a second accommodating chamber, and the first contact pin combination is shielded when the shielding unit is placed in the first accommodating chamber; when the shielding unit is placed in the second receiving cavity, the second contact pin combination is shielded. When the interface types need to be switched, a user only needs to take the shielding unit out of the first accommodating cavity and place the shielding unit into the second accommodating cavity; of course, the shielding unit may be taken out of the second accommodating chamber and placed in the first accommodating chamber.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
