Description

Connector socket of housing with guiding and yielding butt joint structure

The invention relates to a connector socket structure, in particular to a connector plug that can not only guide a connector plug to be smoothly and accurately inserted into the connector socket, but also can be inserted into each other between the connector plug and the connector socket When integrated, the connector plug and the connector socket have a more stable and stable mating relationship to ensure that the corresponding metal terminal on the connector plug and the connector socket can always maintain a normal and good electrical The connection state can ensure that the connector plug and the connector socket are not easily loosened due to vibration or collision, and can always maintain a stable signal transmission state.

Press, the signal connector (Connector) generally refers to all the connection components and their accessories used in electronic signals and power supplies, is the bridge of all signals, its quality will affect the reliability of current and signal transmission, and also with electronic The operation of the device is closely related. Generally speaking, various types of electronic devices (such as smart phones, tablet computers, desktop computers, notebook computers, digital cameras, etc.) have been equipped with various types of connectors to enable the exchange of various electronic devices According to the data, it can be seen that the connector can perform electrical connection and signal transmission between the device and the device, the component and the component, the system and the system, and it is the basic component required to form a complete system.

According to research, in the past ten years, for many Taiwanese manufacturers entering the connector industry, the connector industry is still a lucrative industry relative to other component industries. The main reason is that In the connector industry, the technology used in high- and low-end connector products is quite different. The aforementioned characteristics make the positioning of related products between international manufacturers and Taiwanese manufacturers very clear and clear. In addition, due to the The various connector products entrusted to manufacture still require a wide range of application capabilities. This stringent product requirement also forced the Taiwanese manufacturers to be commissioned to have different specialization projects, thus avoiding subsequent follow-up. The coming Red Sea (related Chinese manufacturers) competed.

However, in the ten years since the financial turmoil in 2008, the relevant Taiwanese manufacturers with connectors as their main products have already experienced and experienced an industrial crisis. Therefore, at that time, many Taiwanese manufacturers clearly realized that relying only on the PC industry was extremely easy. Faced with the dilemma of the PC industry's sluggishness, low barriers to entry, and fierce industrial competition, it has led to a crisis of survival that cannot continue operations. Therefore, many Taiwanese manufacturers have made several corresponding adjustments in their business strategies, hoping to use multiple transformation strategies to cover the application level of connector products to communications or consumer electronics products, such as mobile phones and game consoles. …And so on, according to this, Taiwanese manufacturers that originally relied heavily on connectors for computers and their peripherals have been transitioning to research and development and production of various consumer electronic products, monitors, etc. in recent years. Type connector.

However, as mentioned above, the financial turmoil in 2008 has broken the Taiwanese connector industry. Many industry players have long followed the industry's tacit agreement. For example, American, European, and Japanese manufacturers that originally produced high-end or high-end technology connectors are also Forced by the reality of increasing shortage of profits, considering the production of low-end connectors, it has seriously invaded the main product line that Taiwan connector manufacturers have mastered for many years. In the face of this serious change in situation, Taiwan connector manufacturers must Accelerate footstep adjustments, and add new strategies to take into account the points and aspects that have not been reviewed in the past, and explore, develop, and improve the various characteristics of the connector to provide better connector products in the industry, so that it is sufficient in the market Occupies a place.

We hereby take a conventional connector socket structure as an example, and the explanation is as follows. Generally speaking, please refer to FIG. 1, the conventional connector socket 1 includes an insulating gel 11, at least one terminal block 12, and a plurality of metal branches Terminal 15 and a metal shell 16; among them, the manufacturer usually manufactures the insulating colloid 11 by injection molding, the insulating colloid 11 is provided with a plug-in space 110, and a plug is provided on the top side of the insulating colloid 11 The interface 111, the plug interface 111 is in communication with the plug space 110; in addition, the manufacturer will also fix the metal terminals 15 to the terminal blocks 12 by injection molding, and then The terminal base 12 is assembled into the insulating gel 11 together with the metal terminals 15 thereon, and the plug ends 14 of the metal terminals 15 can respectively pass through the plug space 110 to be exposed at the plug interface 111 The metal shell 16 is simply wrapped around the insulating colloid 11 to achieve the purpose of preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and as a grounding path by the conductive function of the metal shell 16, and by the metal shell The strong structural characteristics of 16 realize the effect of protecting the insulating colloid 11. In this way, the corresponding one of the connector plugs (not shown) can be connected Through the plug interface 111, it is plugged into the connector socket 1, and the plug ends 14 corresponding to the metal terminals on the connector plug can be connected to the plug ends 14 of the metal terminals 15 respectively, and the electrical Conduction and transmission of signals; however, because each time the connector plug is inserted into the connector socket 1 or the connector plug is pulled out of the connector socket 1 each time, the The end edge of the connector plug must pass through the insertion interface 111 of the insulating colloid 11, and in each insertion and removal process, the edge of the connector plug is inevitably caused by the deviation of the insertion angle It will abut and rub against the corners 111C and the inner wall of the two adjacent ends of the socket 111. The result of frequent plugging and unplugging will inevitably cause wear and deformation of the edge near the socket 111, which will eventually lead to the connection The plug between the connector plug and the connector socket 1 is not smooth, and even leads to the problem of poor contact and abnormal signal transmission between the connector plug and the corresponding metal terminal on the connector socket 1. In view of this, how to design a connector socket structure so that the connector socket structure can not only guide a connector plug, so that the connector plug can be smoothly and accurately inserted into the connector socket, still capable When the connector plug and the connector socket are plugged into one body, the connector plug and the connector socket have a more stable and stable plugging relationship to ensure the connector plug and the connector socket The corresponding metal terminals can always be maintained in a normal and good electrical connection state, so as to ensure that the connector plug and the connector socket are not easily loosened due to vibration or collision, and can always maintain a stable signal transmission state, that is It has become an important issue for the current major connector design and manufacturers urgently thinking about improvement, and it is also an important subject for the invention to further discuss and solve in the future.
