While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments, the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components are shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner. And the thickness of layers and regions in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, and the same reference numerals denote the same elements in the description of the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the adapter 10 of the present invention. The adaptor 10 has an upper housing 100, a lower housing 200, a push button 300, and a lead wire connection box 400. The lead connection box 400 may be connected to the inside of the upper and lower cases 100 and 200 of the adaptor 10 by a connection line 402. The front side of the adapter 10 (the side opposite to the connecting wires 402) can be used for connecting the flat cables. The lead wire connection box 400 of the adaptor 10 may be electrically connected to an electronic device (e.g., an electrocardiogram device) through a different type of wire.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the adaptor 10 of fig. 1 coupled to a flat cable 900, with the upper housing 100, the push button 300 and the lead connecting box 400 omitted. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the adaptor 10 of fig. 1 without the lead wire connection box 400. Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the adapter 10 includes a fixing structure 500 between the upper housing 100 and the lower housing 200, a guiding structure 600, a connector 700, and a circuit board 800. In the present embodiment, the adaptor 10 can be electrically coupled to the flat cable 900, wherein the flat cable 900 has two grooves 910. The lower housing 200 of the adaptor 10 has two protruding shafts 210 extending in the direction of the upper housing 100 and located at both sides of the lower housing 200. In the present embodiment, the protruding shaft 210 is fixed to the lower housing 200 through a supporting structure 220.

The fastening structure 500 of the adaptor 10 has an elastic connection part 520, two guiding parts 530, and two extension arms 510. The two guiding portions 530 and the two extending arms 510 are respectively located at two sides of the elastic connection portion 520. The guiding portion 530 is connected to one end of the extension arm 510 and the elastic connection portion 520. The extension arm 510 has a through hole 512 and a hook 514. The through hole 512 is coupled to the protruding shaft 210 of the lower case 200. The two hooks 514 extend from the extension arm 510 in opposite directions and can engage with the flat cable 900. The two hooks 514 each have an inclined surface 5142, and the two inclined surfaces 5142 are opposite. The guide part 530 has a guide inclined plane 532, and the two guide inclined planes 532 respectively face the extension arm 510 to which the guide part 530 is correspondingly connected.

The connector 700 of the adapter 10 is electrically coupled to the circuit board 800, and the connector 700 is located between the two extension arms 510 for electrically coupling the flat cable 900. The two hooks 514 of the fastening structure 500 have a distance D therebetween, and the flat cable 900 has a width W, and the distance D is smaller than the width W. That is, when the flat cable 900 is electrically coupled to the connector 700, the two hooks 514 of the fastening structure 500 are respectively located in the two grooves 910 of the flat cable 900, so as to prevent the flat cable 900 from being separated from the front side of the adaptor 10. The above-mentioned process of electrically coupling the flat cable 900 with the connector 700 of the adaptor 10 is described in the following paragraphs with reference to fig. 4 to 6.

The guiding structure 600 of the adapter 10 is located above the fastening structure 500. The guiding structure 600 includes two guiding posts 610 extending toward the lower housing 200 and located between the guiding slant 532 of the fastening structure 500 and the extending arm 510. The push button 300 of the adaptor 10 is fixed above the guiding structure 600, and is configured to drive the guiding structure 600 to move along the direction F. The upper housing 100 of the adaptor 10 has a slot 110, and the upper housing 100 is located between the guiding structure 600 and the push button 300. The push button 300 extends through the slot 110 to be coupled to the guide structure 600. That is, the guiding structure 600 can move along the direction F by coupling with the push button 300, so that the guiding column 610 pushes the guiding inclined plane 532 of the fastening structure 500 to achieve the removal of the flat cable 900. The above-described process of removing the ribbon cable 900 from the connector 700 of the connector 10 will be described in the following paragraphs with reference to fig. 7.

In addition, the lower housing 200 further has a notch 230, the upper housing 100 may also have a corresponding notch, and the notch 230 of the lower housing 200 and the notch of the upper housing 100 together define a gap 102 (see fig. 4) for inserting the flat cable 900, so that the disposable patch can be electrically coupled to the lead connection box 400 (see fig. 1) via the flat cable 900 and the circuit board 800, and further electrically coupled to the electrocardiograph device.

Fig. 4 to 6 are perspective views of the adaptor 10 of fig. 2 at different stages when electrically coupling the flat cable 900. As shown in FIG. 4, the extension arms 510 each have a first end 516 and a second end 518. When the flat cable 900 is not yet in contact with the adaptor 10, the two extending arms 510 are substantially parallel, and the distance D between the two hooks 514 is smaller than the width W of the flat cable 900. That is, the groove 910 of the flat cable 900 is still outside the adaptor 10, and the distance between the first ends 516 of the two extension arms 510 is the same as the distance between the second ends 518.

As shown in fig. 5, when the flat cable 900 moves toward the connector 700 along the direction F and is inserted into the adaptor 10, the two sides of the flat cable 900 push the inclined surfaces 5142 of the hooks 514, respectively, so as to push the hooks 514 away. At this time, the two extension arms 510 rotate above the two protruding shafts 210 respectively to drive the two guiding portions 530 to push the elastic connection portion 520 in a direction approaching thereto. In addition, the first end 516 of the extension arm 510 is distal and the two second ends 518 are proximal. The elastic connection part 520 is deformed after being pushed to provide a space required for the guide part 530 to approach. Therefore, the distance D between the two hooks 514 increases and is substantially equal to the width W of the flat cable 900, so that the flat cable 900 can be continuously close to the connector 700.

As shown in fig. 6, when the flat cable 900 continues to move in the direction F toward the connector 700, the groove 910 of the flat cable 900 passes the hook 514. At this time, the flat cable 900 is electrically coupled to the connector 700, and the two hooks 514 are reset to be respectively engaged with the two grooves 910 of the flat cable 900, so as to limit the flat cable 900 from moving outward (opposite to the direction F). That is, the distance D between the two hooks 514 is smaller than the width W of the flat cable 900, and the flat cable 900 is located between the two inclined surfaces 5142. At this time, the force of the flat cable 900 pushing the snap hook 514 outward disappears, the two extension arms 510 rotate above the two protruding shafts 210, and the restoring force of the elastic connection portion 520 drives the two guide portions 530 to move away from each other. In addition, the first ends 516 of the extension arms 510 are proximate, the two second ends 518 are proximate, and the two extension arms 510 return to a substantially parallel state.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the flat cable 900 shown in fig. 6 separated from the circuit board 800 of the adaptor 10. When the push button 300 drives the guiding structure 600 to move along the direction F, the two guiding pillars 610 respectively push the two guiding inclined planes 532 and slide along the guiding inclined planes 532, so that the two guiding portions 530 push the elastic connection portion 520 in a direction approaching to drive the two extending arms 510 to respectively rotate above the two protruding shafts 210. In this way, the first end 516 of the extension arm 510 is far away from the second end 518, so that the two hooks 514 are separated from the two grooves 910 of the flat cable 900. Therefore, the distance D between the two hooks 514 is increased to be equal to or greater than the width W of the flat cable 900, so that the flat cable 900 can be separated from the circuit board 800 and removed from the adaptor 10 along the direction F.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the lead wire connection box 400 of the adapter 10 of the present invention. The lead connection box 400 has a first sidewall 412, a second sidewall 414 (see fig. 1), and a third sidewall 416 connected to the first and second sidewalls 412, 414. The first sidewall 412 and the second sidewall 414 respectively have a plurality of conductive snap buttons 420 thereon. In the present embodiment, the first sidewall 412 has six conductive female fasteners 420, and the second sidewall 414 has four conductive female fasteners 420. The third sidewall 416 has a plurality of receptacles 430. In the present embodiment, the third sidewall 416 has ten insertion holes 430.

Fig. 9A and 9B are perspective views illustrating the adaptor 10 of the present invention electrically coupled to a wire. Referring to fig. 8 and 9A, the Snap type conductive wire 440(Snap type) is electrically coupled to the conductive female Snap 420 on the first sidewall 412 and the second sidewall 414, respectively. Referring to fig. 8 and 9B, Banana-type wires 450(Banana type) are electrically coupled to the insertion holes 430 of the third sidewall 416, respectively.

Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the adapter 10 electrically coupled to the disposable patch 920 and the electrocardiogram device 930. In the present embodiment, the front side of the adaptor 10 is electrically coupled to the flat cable 900 of the disposable patch 920, and the lead wire connection box 400 of the adaptor 10 is electrically coupled to the corresponding electrocardiogram device 930 through the banana-shaped wire 450.

In summary, the adapter 10 of the present invention can rapidly couple the integrated disposable patch terminal (e.g., flat cable) through the fastening structure 500, and stably transmit the signal to the electrocardiograph device. The guiding structure 600 can be moved by the push button 300 to quickly remove the integrated disposable patch from the adaptor 10 and replace it with a new one. Therefore, the time consumed by disassembling and assembling the patch and the suction ball end one by one during the operation of the traditional electrocardiogram device can be reduced. In addition, the lead wire connection box 400 of the adapter 10 can be adapted to banana-type lead wires and snap-button-type lead wires, so that the disposable patch can be popularized to be electrically coupled to different types of electrocardiograph devices. In the technical field of the invention, it is possible to improve other operable embodiments of the invention as long as the most basic knowledge is available. The present invention is directed to a method for producing a light emitting device, and a light emitting device using the method.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and although the present invention has been disclosed with the preferred embodiments, it is not limited to the present invention, and any skilled person in the art can make some modifications or equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention, but all the technical matters of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.
