Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly to a connector that can be stably held on a bottom plate of a backlight module. [Prior Art] 液晶 Liquid crystal display panels have been widely used in various information, communication, and consumer products. However, since the liquid crystal itself does not have luminescent characteristics in the liquid crystal display panel. Therefore, in order to achieve the display effect, it is necessary to provide a light source device to the liquid crystal display panel. In the prior art, a liquid crystal display panel having a backlight module is well known, and its function is to provide a surface light source having a sufficient brightness and uniform distribution to the liquid crystal display panel. Generally, the design of the backlight module is disposed on one side of the bottom plate, and a plurality of lamps are disposed on the two sides of the lamp tube. The two ends of the lamp tube are respectively fixed on a connector, and the connector is disposed on the bottom plate. Since the structure of the lamp tube is relatively fragile, the lamp tube generally has to be assembled and fixed to the backlight module by the aid of the connector. The conventional lamp connector is composed of an insulating body having an opening and one of the openings. It is composed of a conductive conductive elastic piece, and a metal casing is sleeved at both ends of the lamp tube, and then the metal casing is squeezed and inserted into the gap between the conductive elastic pieces to maintain the elastic restoring force of the conductive elastic piece. The metal casing, and between one end of the metal casing and the electrode of the lamp, 3 201037925 works in a metal casing and a lamp to prevent the metal casing and the lamp from being electrically good. The connector is mainly made up of the elasticity of the conductive elastic piece = sleeve, so when the elastic deformation of the two conductive conductive pieces between the two conductive elastic pieces is too large, it is easy to make

In addition, when the insulating body of the connector is placed on the bottom plate, the shrapnel on the two sides of the recording body edge abuts against the bottom plate to achieve the purpose of solid 2's but it is also easy to make a mistake between the insulating body and the bottom plate. There is a gap between the insulating body and the bottom plate, which causes a problem that causes the connector to sway up and down.

The groove portion 124' can be slid through the groove portion 124 because the front card has a chamfer on the front side of the hook point end before the 1641, but the second portion is blocked by the groove portion 124, and the front hook hook 641 The rear end of the point end 1642 is not chamfered, so the upper cymbal 16 can no longer slide back and exit the insulating body 12. When the lamp tube 7 and the metal sleeve 7〇 thereon are to be mounted on the connector 1, the lamp tube 7 and the metal sleeve 7〇 are first placed on the second clamp arm 144' and then the upper cover 16 is continued to the insulating body. The slot machine 22 of the slot 2 slides in the direction of the slot cover 22, and the hook portion 1 643 is engaged with the recessed portion 124. The interference portion 166 of the upper cover 16 can also be pressed to the clip arm 144 so that two The clamp arms 44 are gradually brought closer together and are then clamped and electrically connected to the metal sleeve 7 of the lamp tube 7, thus completing the step of fixing the lamp tube 7 to the connector 1. It is worth mentioning that, since the hooks 1643 are chamfered on both sides of the hook end 1644, when the lamp tube 7 is to be taken out from the connector, the rear hook 16 4 3 can be chamfered. Returning from the recessed portion 12 4 'so that the upper cover 16 is sufficient to continue to slide backwards', the interference portion 9 201037925 166 is also far away from the two clamp arms 144, so that the two clamp arms 144 no longer hold the metal sleeve 70 tightly, In this way, the lamp tube 7 can be taken from the connector 1 to the outside of the HWb. In order to prevent the upper cover 16 from interfering with the assembly of the metal sleeve 7 to the second clamp arm 144, an opening (10) can be provided on the upper cover 16. In this embodiment, the interference portion 166 of the upper cover 16 is pressed to the two clamp arms i44 so that the two clamp arms 144 are held against each other and electrically connected to the metal sleeve 7 of the lamp tube 7 as an illustration, but is not limited to Alternatively, the second clamp arm H4 can also be designed to hold and electrically connect the electrodes of the lamp tube 7. Referring to the eighth figure, the present invention provides a method for assembling a lamp tube by a connector, the steps comprising: first, inserting a connector onto a bottom plate 80, wherein the connector includes an insulative housing, a conductive terminal, and a The upper cover has an accommodating groove, and the conductive terminal is mounted in the accommodating groove of the insulating body, and the upper cover is slidably disposed on the outer side of the main body of the T. Next, a lamp is placed on the electrical terminal 82 of the connector. Thereafter, the upper cover is pushed to be engaged with the outer side of the insulating body and the space formed between the bottom plates 84, so that the purpose of holding the lamp tube to the connector can be achieved. In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper cover is provided with an interference P capable of squeezing and holding the two clamp arms. Therefore, in the step of pushing the upper cover to engage the gap formed between the outer side and the bottom of the insulating body, the interference is further included. The two clamping arms of the V electric terminal are pressed to cause the two clamping arms to hold the lamp. 201037925 The method for assembling a lamp tube by the connector provided by the invention has the advantages that the step is very simple, and only three steps of inserting the connector, inserting the two lamps and pushing the upper cover are needed, and the two lamps of the connector can be completed. Process, so it is very suitable for automated production, and can complete the above process without special fixture work. In summary, the connector of the present invention is designed such that when the upper cover is mounted on the outer side of the insulative housing, a portion of the upper cover is designed to be engaged with a gap formed between the outer side of the insulative housing and the bottom plate. The gap between the insulating body and the bottom plate can be filled, thereby solving the problem that the connector can sway up and down with respect to the bottom plate. In addition, the upper cover of the connector of the present invention is designed with an interference portion for pulling the extruded conductive terminal, so as to avoid the lamp tube and the metal sleeve from being detached from the two clamping arms of the conductive terminal, thereby solving the conventional backlight module. The problem of production day-to-day and cost increases and production yield reduction. The detailed description of the present invention is intended to be illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the patents covered by the present invention.
