A connector in the body and a method of installing the same. [Prior Art] Liquid crystal display panels have been widely used in various 3C products such as information, communication and consumer electronics. However, since the liquid crystal itself does not have luminescent characteristics in the liquid crystal display panel. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect, a liquid crystal display panel needs to be provided with a light source device. 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 backlight module is designed to be provided with a plurality of lamps spaced apart from one side of the back plate. The two ends of the lamp are respectively fixed on a connector, and the connector is disposed on the back plate. Due to the fragile structure of the lamp, it is easy to cause damage when a slight pressure is applied to the glass tube. Excessive pressure on the glass tube must be avoided when performing assembly work. In addition, when performing maintenance on a liquid crystal display using a lamp, care must be taken to avoid damage. Therefore, the lamp tube must be fixed by a connector. The general connector is composed of an insulating body having an opening and a π-positive conductive elastic piece disposed in the opening U60627, and sighing at both ends of the lamp tube a metal shell sleeve, and then the metal shell sleeve is squeezed and inserted into the gap between the conductive elastic sheets' by the elastic restoring force of the conductive elastic piece to hold the shell sleeve, and the end of the metal shell sleeve is sleeved on the lamp On the electrode of Lu, so that the electrode of the lamp and the conductive elastic piece are electrically connected. However, due to the existence of a gap between one end of the metal sheath and the electrode of the tube, in order to prevent electrical contact failure between the metal sheath and the electrode of the tube, the method of welding is generally used in the metal shell. The sleeve forms a (four) joint with the tube electrode. Therefore, the structural disadvantage of the connector is that it is necessary to put a metal casing on both ends of the lamp tube, and the welding method is used to form a fixed joint between the metal casing and the electrode of the lamp, so that the process not only makes the production time and The cost increases' and the production yield will also decrease. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The connector needs to form a soldered joint between the metal sleeve and the lamp electrode before the metal sleeve can be inserted into the gap between the conductive springs of the connector to make the tube and the connection.

The method and steps of the process are as follows: First, a tube 4 is provided, and the end of the tube 4 has an electrode 41. Next, the lamp 4 is mounted on the front clamp arm (1) of the child 3, wherein the conductive terminal - the clip # 31 is used for moxibustion holding the light tube 4, the light tube 4, the pole 4 1 line along the second The rear arm qQ + p day, and further 32 channels 32 〇 move to ^ the conductive terminal 3 and then the positioning portion 32 on the f 32 leads (four) 24 . Then, the fixing lamp #4 4! is notched between the second clamping arm arm 2 of the conductive terminal 3, and the positioning portion 322 is followed by the elastic structure of the main body 30, the rear clamping arm 32 and the positioning portion 1360627. When the structure of the guiding groove 24 moves downward, the inclined surface 242 of the guiding groove 24 is pulled, so that the spacing between the two positioning portions 322 is gradually reduced, and the second rear arm 32 is also elastically deformed following the positioning portion 322. And the two rear clamping arms 32 gradually close together to close the channel 320, and finally the positioning portion 322 is fitted and fixed in the positioning groove 24 以 so that a rear clip # 32 is clamped and electrically connected in the notch 321 The electrode 41' completes the process of fixing the conductive end + 3 to the positioning groove 240 of the insulative housing 2. In this embodiment, the process of installing the lamp tube 4 on the connector 并非 is not once in place, but is divided into two stages. The first stage is to first rupture the lamp tube 4 on the front side of the conductive terminal 3, f 31 In the second stage, the electrode 41 of the lamp tube 4 is fixed on the second rear clamping arm 32 of the conductive terminal 3, so that it is not necessary to apply another welding process: 1 stable holding lamp 4 and its electrode 41 . It is worth mentioning that the conductive terminal 3 of the present invention is initially engaged with the insulating body. After the slot 2G is set to 1 and then the lamp tube 4 is fixed in two stages, and the connection is on the first one, but it is not limited thereto, and the lamp f 4 may be first mounted on the early independent conductive terminal 3, and then the conductive terminal 3 is The combination with the lamp tube 4 is fixed to a separate insulative body 2. In summary, the connector of the present invention has a clamping arm after the arm and the electrical electrode are connected to the electrical terminal of the connector 2, and the guiding groove of the insulating body is added. I ° juice, so that the two clamping arms of the clamping electrode can be freely opened and closed, so as to achieve stable holding of the lamp and its electrodes, so that the lamp does not need to go through the metal shell The sleeve and the splicing process can achieve a stable electrical connection L with the connector, so as to solve the problem of the decrease in the production yield and the increase of the production cost caused by the conventional welding process. In addition, the second rear clamp arm has automatic opening and closing action when assembling the lamp electrode. This can cause the electrode to be offset or biased when the gap is assembled between the two rear clamp arms. Move and other issues. Furthermore, the connector of the present invention has two conductive pins and two slots corresponding to the two legs. Thus, when the two conductive pins are in contact with each other: there is another problem of the poor contact. .fMaterials—(4) The electric pin can be used as a detailed description of the present invention for the detailed description of the above, but the actual scope of the claim is limited to the scope of the patent claim.均 纟 纟 纟 本 本 本 本 。 。 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均 均-Heart 3; 1360627.
