Further, the width of each of the second openings 1211a (the width in the circumferential direction D2) is larger than the width of the first end 1212a (the width in the circumferential direction D2), and thus the second conductive portions 1212 protruding from the corresponding second openings 1211a The first end 1212a is displaceable in the circumferential direction D2.

The circuit board 1213 has a notch 1213r and a plurality of third openings 1213a corresponding to the second conductive portion 1212. As shown in Fig. 9, the number of the third openings 1213a is, for example, eight, but may be more or less than eight. After the circuit board 1213 and the second conductive portion 1212 are assembled with the outer casing 1211, the second end 1212b of each of the second conductive portions 1212 abuts against the block 1216 of the outer casing 1211 and passes through the third opening 1213a of the corresponding circuit board 1213. Therefore, the second conductive portion 1212 can be limited between the block 1216 and the second opening 1211a, and when the circuit board 1213 is combined with the outer casing 1211, the bump 1217 is engaged with the notch 1213r of the circuit board 1213 to make the bump 1217 prevents the circuit board 1213 from rotating, whereby the second conductive portion 1212 can be stably fixed between the outer casing 1211 and the circuit board 1213.

The trace 1213t is, for example, a signal line that extends to the connector 1214 to electrically connect the connector 1214 with the second conductive portion 1212. In this way, the physiological signal from the second conductive portion 1212 can be transmitted to the connector 1214 through the trace 1213t.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the connector 121 is coupled to the body 122, the connector 1214 of the connector 121 can be coupled to the connector 1221 of the body 122, so that the processor 1222 disposed on the body 122 can pass through the connector 1221 and 1214 is electrically connected to the circuit board 1213.

The connector 1221 is disposed on a circuit board (not shown) of the body 122.

11 is a diagram showing a connection process of the ECG scanner 120 (not shown) 122 of FIG. 1 and the multi-contact connector 110 of FIG. 2.

In the process 1 (states 1 to 2), the insert 121 of the ECG scanner 120 can be inserted into the multi-contact by means of the second conductive portion 1212 being aligned with the notch 112a of the flange 112 of the multi-contact connector 110. The first housing portion 112r of the connector 110. In the process 2 (states 2 to 3), the insert 121 is rotated in the rotational direction R to lock the insert 121 and the multi-contact connector 110 to each other. Thus, for example, process 1 and process 2 can be operated by hand 122 coupled to insert 121 to lock ECG scanner 120 and multi-contact connector 110 on fabric 10 to each other. Insert Each of the second conductive portions 1212 of the plurality of contacts 110 is electrically connected to the corresponding first conductive portion 113 of the multi-contact connector 110. As a result, in a single operation process (processes 1 to 2), the second conductive portion 1212 of the ECG scanner 120 can be electrically connected to the first conductive portion 113 of the multi-contact connector 110 to enable the ECG scanning module. 100 can provide multi-contact signal transmission.

In addition, in the process 2, since the plurality of first ends 1212a of the plurality of second conductive portions 1212 surround the outer diameter S1 of the formed circle slightly larger than the inner diameters S2 of the plurality of first conductive portions 113 around the formed circle, When the insert 121 is rotated, the second conductive portion 1212 interferes with the first conductive portion 113, forcing the second conductive portion 1212 to be pressed in the radial direction D1 (shown in FIG. 8) to be deformed. In this manner, after the second conductive portion 1212 contacts the first conductive portion 113 (such as the state 3), each of the second conductive portions 1212 provides a radial pre-force corresponding to the first conductive portion 113 due to the deformation, so that the second conductive portions The 1212 firmly abuts against each of the first conductive portions 113, so that the ECG scanner 120 can be prevented from easily coming off the multi-contact connector 110, and the connection stability between the ECG scanner 120 and the multi-contact connector 110 can be increased. In this way, the problem that the impedance of the conventional copper buckle due to electrical floating is unstable can be avoided.

Further, in the process 2, although the second conductive portion 1212 interferes with the first conductive portion 113, since the second conductive portion 1212 has flexibility, the second conductive portion 1212 is radially inserted into the insert 121 during the interference. The displacement in the center direction can reduce the interference resistance between the first conductive portion 113 and the second conductive portion 1212, thereby enabling the ECG scanner 120 to be rotationally coupled to the multi-contact connector 110 in a labor-saving manner.

As shown in FIG. 11, the multi-contact connector 110 further includes a plurality of first Positioning unit 114. As shown in FIG. 6, the insert 121 further includes a plurality of second positioning portions 1218. When the second conductive portion 1212 contacts the first conductive portion 113 (such as the state 3), the plurality of first positioning portions 114 are engaged with the plurality of second positioning portions 1218, so that the user can provide a combined hand or a snap feeling. Further, during the relative rotation of the ECG scanner 120 and the multi-contact connector 110, if the user feels a snap feeling, it indicates that the second conductive portion 1212 has contacted and electrically connected to the first conductive portion 113.

In the present embodiment, the first positioning portion 114 is, for example, a protruding portion, and the second positioning portion 1218 is, for example, a concave portion. In another embodiment, the first positioning portion 114 is, for example, a recess, and the second positioning portion 1218 is, for example, a protrusion.

As shown in FIG. 11, the multi-contact connector 110 further includes a plurality of stops 115, and a notch 112a is formed between the adjacent second blocks 115. The block 115 is disposed on the flange 112 and extends toward the center of the flange 112, and the position of the block 115 is aligned with the first opening 111a; thus, when the second conductive portion 1212 contacts the first through the first opening 111a When a conductive portion 113 (such as state 3), the position of the block 115 corresponds to the second conductive portion 1212 of the insert 121, so that each of the second conductive portions 1212 can be blocked by the corresponding block 115 to avoid the insert 121 being easy. The multi-contact connector 110 is detached in the axial direction.

In addition, each of the second conductive portions 1212 provides a radial pre-stress of the corresponding first conductive portion 113, that is, the second conductive portion 1212 and the first conductive portion 113 are in radial contact with each other, thus combining the ECG scanner 120 with In the process of the contact connector 110, the axial contact with the conventional connector of the conventional ECG scanner is less laborious. Due to the radial contact of the ECG scanning module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the process of combining the ECG scanner 120 and the multi-contact connector 110 can save effort. 85%. In addition, the greater the number of contact pairs (such as a pair of second conductive portions 1212 and corresponding first conductive portions 113), compared to the conventional axial combination of existing ECG scanners and existing connectors, The labor saving effect when the ECG scanner 120 and the multi-contact connector 110 of the embodiment of the present invention are combined will be more remarkable.

Further, as shown in the following formula (1), Fa represents the force required to combine the conventional ECG scanner with the conventional multi-contact connector, n represents the number of contact pairs, and f represents the fastening of each contact pair. The normal force that needs to be administered.

Fa = nf .............................(1)

Further, as shown in the following formula (2), Fr represents the force required to combine the ECG scanner 120 and the multi-contact connector 110, n represents the number of contact pairs, and f represents the required positive force for each contact pair. μ denotes the coefficient of friction between the second conductive portion 1212 in contact with the first conductive portion 113, and L (indicated in FIG. 6) denotes a biasing arm, for example, a partial length of the body 122, and r (indicated in the sixth) Figure) shows the force arm, for example the radius of the insert 121, where r < L.

Fr = μnf ( r / L )...............................(2)

According to the formulae (1) and (2), if r/L is approximately equal to 0.5 and μ is approximately equal to 0.3, Fr/Fa is approximately 0.15. For another example, according to equations (1) and (2), if r/L is approximately equal to 0.5 and the design value of f is 60 gram force/contact pair, and the number of contact points is n=8, then Fa is approximately 480 gram force and Fr It is about 72 grams.
