As shown in fig. 1, according to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a connector 200 is provided. The connector 200 includes: the voltage acquisition circuit 20 and the first connector 2001.

The first connector 2001 is provided with at least one first ground pin 2005 and a plurality of first pins 2003, wherein the at least one first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input terminal of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistor 11.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, the first connector 2001 in the present disclosure may be made of an insulating material of synthetic resin. The first connector 2001 may have a rectangular structure, an oval structure, a polygonal structure, or other shapes, which is not specifically limited according to the present disclosure.

The first ground pin 2005 may be plated with gold, nickel/gold alloy, or other plating materials in known plating processes. The number of the first ground pins 2005 may be 1 or more, which is not limited in this disclosure. The number of the first pins 2003 is plural. Specifically, the number of the first pins 2003 may be 2,3, or 4, and the specific number may be set according to design requirements.

One end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to one first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the engagement state of the first pin 2003 connected to the first pull-up resistor can be determined based on the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing at least one first ground pin 2005 and a plurality of first pins 2003 on the first connection terminal 2001, the at least one first pin 2003 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistor 11. The voltage acquisition circuit 20 can measure the voltage value of the first pin 2003 through the first pull-up resistor 11, and can determine the fastening state of the first pin 2003 in the connector 200 according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20, wherein when the first pin 2003 is disconnected and separated, the voltage value of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 can be infinite, so as to determine whether the fastening state of the first pin 2003 is normal.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, in the case where N first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminals of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistors 11, N first pull-up resistors 11 are in parallel connection, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, specifically, the following cases may be included:

When N is 2, the two first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistors 11, and the two first pull-up resistors 11 are in a parallel state. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

When N is 3, the three first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistors 11, and the three first pull-up resistors 11 are connected in parallel. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

When N is 4, the four first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistors 11, and the four first pull-up resistors 11 are connected in parallel. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

When N is 5, the five first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistors 11, and the five first pull-up resistors 11 are connected in parallel. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the N first pull-up resistors 11 have different values. N is a positive integer greater than 1.

For example, with N being 2, the two first pull-up resistors 11 have different resistances, so that the voltage acquisition circuit 20 may generate the following situations. For example:

In this case, when the first pin 2003 connected to the first pull-up resistor 11 is normally engaged, that is, when both the first pull-up resistors 11 are normally connected, the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 is a.

Alternatively, when the first pin 2003 connected to one of the first pull-up resistors 11 is normally engaged and the first pin 2003 connected to the other first pull-up resistor 11 is disconnected. That is, when one of the first pull-up resistors 11 is normally connected and the other first pull-up resistor 11 is disconnected, the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 is B.

In another case, when the first pin 2003 connected to one of the first pull-up resistors 11 is normally engaged and the first pin 2003 connected to the other first pull-up resistor 11 is disconnected. That is, when one of the first pull-up resistors 11 is normally connected and the other first pull-up resistor 11 is disconnected, the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 is C.

In another case, when the first pin 2003 connected to one of the first pull-up resistors 11 is disconnected, the first pin 2003 connected to the other first pull-up resistor 11 is also disconnected. That is, when both the first pull-up resistors 11 are turned off, the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 is infinite.

To sum up, in the present disclosure, the first pull-up resistor 11 with different resistance values may be set, and in the present disclosure, the first pin 2003 with an abnormality may be directly determined according to the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, at least two values of the N first pull-up resistors 11 are different. N is a positive integer greater than 1.

For example, N is 5, and at least two of the five first pull-up resistors 11 have different values. Thus, the voltage acquisition circuit 20 may generate the following cases. For example:

in one case, two resistance values of the five first pull-up resistors 11 are different, that is, three resistance values of the first pull-up resistors 11 are the same. In the case where the first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminals of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the five first pull-up resistors 11, the five first pull-up resistors 11 are in a parallel state. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In another case, three resistance values of the five first pull-up resistors 11 are different, that is, two resistance values of the first pull-up resistors 11 are the same. In the case where the first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminals of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the five first pull-up resistors 11, the five first pull-up resistors 11 are in a parallel state. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In another case, four resistance values of the five first pull-up resistors 11 are different, that is, one resistance value of the first pull-up resistor 11 is the same as one of the four resistance values. In the case where the first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminals of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the five first pull-up resistors 11, the five first pull-up resistors 11 are in a parallel state. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In another case, the resistance values of the five first pull-up resistors 11 are different, that is, the resistance values of the first pull-up resistors 11 are different. In the case where the first pins 2003 are electrically connected to the input terminals of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the five first pull-up resistors 11, the five first pull-up resistors 11 are in a parallel state. One end of each first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 2003 of the first connector 2001. The other end of the first pull-up resistor 11 may be electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The first pin 2003 is electrically connected to an input of the same voltage acquisition circuit 20 through a first pull-up resistor 11. Thus, the fastening state of each first pin 2003 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In summary, in the present disclosure, at least two first pull-up resistors 11 with different resistance values may be provided, and in the present disclosure, the first pin 2003 with an abnormality may be directly determined according to the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the voltage acquisition circuit 20 includes: a power supply (not shown).

The input end of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 is electrically connected with a power supply through a second pull-up resistor 10. The second pull-up resistor 10 is electrically connected to the first pull-up resistor 11. The first end of the second pull-up resistor 10 may be electrically connected to the first pull-up resistor 11, and the second end of the second pull-up resistor 10 is electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the voltage acquisition circuit 20 can measure the voltage value of the first pin 2003 in the buckled state through the first pull-up resistor 11 and the second pull-up resistor 10, and can determine whether the connection state of the first pull-up resistor 11 is normal according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20, wherein when the first pin 2003 is disconnected and separated, the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 can be infinite, so as to determine whether the buckled state of the first pin 2003 is normal.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the connector 200 further comprises: a central processing unit 30. The central processing unit 30 is electrically connected with the voltage acquisition circuit 20, and the central processing unit 30 is used for reading the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

It will be appreciated that the central processor 30 has the functions of reading, recording, transmitting, alerting, etc. In the present disclosure, by providing the cpu 30, a technician can easily detect the engaged state of the first connector 2001 in the connector 200 at any time.

Meanwhile, the central processing unit 30 may intermittently or continuously read the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20, so that a technician can obtain a detection result at the first time. The detection time interval of the cpu 30 may be 5 minutes, 3 minutes, or 1 minute. The detection time interval of the central processing unit 30 is not limited in the present disclosure, and can be adjusted according to the requirement, and the smaller the time interval, the earlier the discovery and the faster the response.

The central processing unit 30 may also be connected to a mobile terminal of a technician, where when the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20 changes, the central processing unit 30 may send an alarm signal to the mobile terminal of the technician, so as to detect multiple specific states of the connector 200, instead of just detecting whether the locking is good or bad.

The mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a computer, a digital broadcast terminal, a messaging device, a game console, a tablet device, a medical device, a fitness device, a personal digital assistant, a translator, a wearable device such as a watch, a bracelet, etc. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device may be a mobile phone.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the various implementations/embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in combination with the foregoing embodiments or may be used independently. Whether used alone or in combination with the previous embodiments, the principles of implementation are similar. In the practice of the present disclosure, some of the examples are described in terms of implementations that are used together. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that such illustration is not limiting of the disclosed embodiments.

According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a connector 200, as shown in fig. 2, the connector 200 including:

The second connector 2002, at least one second grounding pin 2004 and a plurality of second pins 2006 are disposed on the second connector 2002.

As shown in fig. 2, the second connector 2002 in the present disclosure may be made of an insulating material of synthetic resin. The second connector 2002 may have a rectangular structure, an oval structure, a polygonal structure, or other shapes, which is not specifically limited according to the present disclosure.

Wherein the second pin 2006 may be plated with gold, nickel/gold alloy, or other plating materials in known plating processes. The number of second pins 2006 may be plural, which is not limited by the present disclosure. The number of second pins 2006 is a plurality. Specifically, the number of the second pins 2006 may be 2,3, or 4, and the specific number may be set according to design requirements.

Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an electronic device, as shown in fig. 3, including: a first connector 300 and a second connector 400 connected to the first connector 300; wherein,

The first connector 300 includes: a voltage acquisition circuit 20 and a first connector 2001. The first connector 2001 is provided with at least one first grounding pin 2005 and a plurality of first pins 2003, wherein the at least one first pin 2003 is electrically connected with the input end of the voltage acquisition circuit 20 through the first pull-up resistor 11;

the second connector 400 includes: the second connector 2002, at least one second grounding pin 2004 and a plurality of second pins 2006 are disposed on the second connector 2002.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may be part of a tower computer, desktop computer, mini-computer, retail sales terminal, thin client, workstation, or another suitable system. The first connector 300 may need to transmit one or more types of electrical signals and/or Power to the second connector 400, such as a serial data signal, a Video Graphics Array (VGA) signal, a DisplayPort (DP) signal, a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) signal, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) signal (e.g., dualUSB signal, a Type C100W Power Delivery (PD) signal), a ThunderboltTM signal (e.g., a TBT 3.0 signal), a 2.5G Local Area Network (LAN) signal, a fiber optic Network Interface Card (NIC) signal, and/or other signals. Each of the above signals may use a different number of pins to transmit the signal.

The first connector 300 may be a motherboard and the second connector 400 may be an input/output board including a serial port, a VGA port, a DP port, an HDMI port, a Type C port, a DualUSB port, and/or another suitable port that may be electrically coupled to the motherboard, i.e., the first connector 300, through an electronic device. Thus, the first connector 300 may transmit one of serial, VGA, DP, HDMI, type C, and Dual USB signals to the second connector 400.

The first pull-up resistor 11 is generally provided at both ends of the first connector 2001 and the second connector 2002.

It should be noted that the pins at both ends and the corners of the periphery of the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 are most easily disconnected. Thus, the first pull-up resistor 11 is provided at both ends of the first connector 2001 and the second connector 2002, and the engaged state of the electronic device can be detected more accurately.

Further, in the disclosed embodiment, the first connector 300 includes four first pull-up resistors 11 connected in parallel. The four parallel first pull-up resistors 11 are disposed at the corners of the first connector 300 and the second connector 400, so as to more accurately detect the fastening state of the electronic device. That is, the four parallel first pull-up resistors 11 are disposed at the corners of the first connector 2001 and the second connector 2002 to more accurately detect the fastening state of the electronic device.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the resistance values of the plurality of parallel first pull-up resistors 11 may be different and reasonable values, so that the parallel resistance values of various connection combination states may be different to distinguish and identify.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, in the case that the first connector 300 is connected to the second connector head 2002 through the first connector head 2001, the first pins 2003 are connected to the second pins 2006 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first ground pins 2005 are connected to the second ground pins 2004 in a one-to-one correspondence.

The first pull-up resistor 11 is directly electrically connected to the voltage acquisition circuit 20. The voltage acquisition circuit 20 can be used for measuring a voltage value between the first pin 2003 and the second pin 2006 in a locked state of the first connector 2001 and the second connector 2002. Since the resistance value of the first pull-up resistor 11 is known, the engagement state between the first pin 2003 and the second pin 2006 can be determined according to the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20.

It will be appreciated that when the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20 changes abnormally, it means that the first pin 2003 and the second pin 2006 are separated or even separated.

It can be understood that the plurality of first pull-up resistors 11 are electrically connected to the plurality of first pins 2003 and the plurality of second pins 2006 in a one-to-one correspondence.

In the present disclosure, the first pins 2003 and the second pins 2006 in the plurality of fastening states are electrically connected to each other by providing the plurality of first pull-up resistors 11 in one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, the number of resistors in the circuit is reduced, the probability of open circuit or short circuit of the circuit is reduced, and the stability of the electronic equipment is facilitated.

In addition, since the resistance values of the plurality of first pull-up resistors 11 are different or at least two resistance values are different. Therefore, the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20 should also be different or at least two voltage values are the same.

When the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 changes, a technician can directly observe the change even if the change range is small.

The first connector 300 may transmit one of serial, VGA, DP, HDMI, type C, and Dual USB signals to the second connector 2002 through the first connection 2001, and further to the second connector 400.

In the disclosed embodiment, the central processor 30 has functions of reading, recording, transmitting, alarming, and the like. By arranging the central processing unit 30, a technician can easily detect the buckling state of the first connector 2001 in the first connector 300 and the second connector 2002 in the second connector 400 at any time, and the buckling state is used for detecting various specific states of buckling of the first connector 300 and the second connector 400, rather than just detecting good or bad buckling.

The central processor 30 may intermittently or continuously read the voltage value collected by the voltage collecting circuit 20, so that a technician can obtain a detection result at the first time. The detection time interval of the cpu 30 may be 5 minutes, 3 minutes, or 1 minute. The detection time interval of the central processing unit 30 is not limited in the present disclosure, and can be adjusted according to the requirement, and the smaller the time interval, the earlier the discovery and the faster the response.

In addition, the central processing unit 30 may also be connected to a mobile terminal device used by a technician, and when the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit 20 changes, the central processing unit 30 may send an alarm signal to the mobile terminal device of the technician.

The mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a computer, a digital broadcast terminal, a messaging device, a game console, a tablet device, a medical device, a fitness device, a personal digital assistant, a translator, a wearable device such as a watch, a bracelet, etc. This is not particularly limited in this disclosure.
