Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an electronic device, and more specifically, it is configured so that a plurality of printed boards can be stored in a printed board storage box to perform a predetermined function. The present invention relates to electronic devices.

Generally, in electronic devices of the above type, electrical signals are connected between printed boards via printed board connectors.

Therefore, the current situation is that electrical signals between adjacent printed boards must be connected via printed board connectors.

However, as larger printed boards have recently been adopted, or as parts have become smaller and the number of parts arranged on a printed board has increased, the range of circuits that can be housed on the same printed board has become larger. This also increases the mounting density, but is limited by the number of contacts of the connector on each printed board, and even though there is space to mount more circuits on the printed board, it is not possible to mount more circuits, resulting in less space efficiency. A problem has arisen that has gotten extremely bad.

This resulted in a situation where the circuit had to be subdivided even though there was a lot of space on the printed board, and the exchange of electrical signals between the printed boards in the electronic device was not good.

This idea was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and allows each printed board to be electrically connected to each other without using a printed board connector between adjacent printed boards or between several printed boards separated from each other. The above-mentioned problems in the prior art have been solved by detachably providing a printed board connector that can connect signals.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 indicates a printed board that can be attached and detached from a connector 2 that is fixed in parallel to the machine frame (not shown), and appropriate parts are mounted on the board. 3 is installed.

4 is an inter-printed board connector for connecting electrical signals and power lines between adjacent printed boards 1 or between printed boards 1 separated by several printed boards 1. It is detachably installed on the.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, for example, the printed board connector 4 is composed of a main body 5 made of an insulating material and a connecting member 6 made of a conductor. A contact portion 6a is formed to protrude from the upper surface of the portion 5, and a lower portion thereof is formed to protrude downward from the lower surface of the main body portion 5 and is formed as a connecting pin 6b.

A plurality of connecting members 6 are attached to the main body 5, and the connecting pins 6b are detachably attached to the component attachment holes of the printed board 1.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 7 indicates a connector socket that can be attached to and detached from the locking part 9 of the connector 4 via the locking tool 8.
Like the connector 4, it is composed of a main body 10 made of an insulating material and a connecting member 11 made of a conductor.
1 is formed to protrude from the surface of the main body portion 10 on the side opposite to the side on which the locking tool 8 is attached, and constitutes a contact portion 11a.

The connecting member 6 of the connector 4 and the connecting member 11 of the socket 7 are connected to the main body 8 via locking portions 6c and llb, respectively.
, 10, and the tips of the contact portions 9a, lla are locked in grooves 5a, 10a provided in the main body portions 5, 10, respectively.

Note that the shape of the connecting member 11 on the socket 7 side can be set in various ways, for example, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the connecting member 11 may be elastically loaded with a spring-like locking portion 11b and a contact portion 11a.

According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 10, by attaching the connectors 4 to opposing positions of the adjacent printed boards 1, the adjacent printed boards 1 can be connected to each other without using the printed board connectors 2. It is possible to send and receive signals between

Further, if necessary, electrical connection to printed boards 1 separated by several more boards can be made via the connector 4.

That is, the connector 4 allows electrical signals to be freely received and transferred between adjacent printed boards 1 or between printed boards 1 separated by several boards without going through the printed board connector 2.

Furthermore, by using the socket 7 as shown in FIG. 9, the mounting positions of the connectors 4 between the printed boards 1 can be made the same as shown in FIG. 11, and printed wiring can be omitted, and the printed board 1 board surface can be used effectively.

As described above, this invention provides an electronic device in which a plurality of printed boards are removably housed side by side, and a contact element made of a conductor is provided on the board surface of the printed board, and electrical connection can be made freely to the printed board. A connector equipped with a pin portion is detachably provided, and adjacent printed boards can be electrically connected via the connector, so that the space on the printed board can be used effectively. This allows good electrical connection between each printed board in an electronic device.
