Description

一种连接器及电子设备
【技术领域】
本发明涉及通信技术领域,特别是涉及一种连接器及电子设备。
【背景技术】
请参见图1,图1是现有技术的电子设备中利用连接器连接背板和电路板的结构示意图。如图1所示,在现有技术中,组成高速第二电路板链路的器件包括背板11、电路板12、电路板15、连接器10以及连接器14。连接器14用于连接背板11和电路板15,连接器10用于连接背板11和电路板12。电路板12上设置有芯片16,电路板13上设置有芯片13,背板11、电路板12、电路板15、连接器14以及连接器10内部均设置有内部电路连接线(图1未标示)。在连接器14连接背板11和电路板15、连接器10连接背板11和电路板12后,芯片16与芯片13之间实现电连接。
请参见图2,图2是现有技术中连接器连接第二电路板和电路板的具体电路图。其中,图2进一步绘示出图1中连接器10与背板11以及电路板12的具体电路连接关系。如图2所示,连接器10包括导电触头101、102、103、104(为了在图2中可清楚标示,仅以该4个触头作为说明,实际触头数目如图2中所示)以及导电触头105、106、107、108(同上)。其中,导电触头101、102、103、104可选择性插入至背板11中,导电触头105、106、107、108可选择性插入电路板12中,导电触头101与导电触头108在连接器10中实现内部电连接,导电触头102与导电触头107在连接器10中实现内部电连接,导电触头103与导电触头106在连接器10中实现内部电连接,导电触头104与导电触头105在连接器10中实现内部电连接。因此,在电路板12通过连接器10与背板11连接时,背板11与电路板12之间可形成多路电连接,利用该多路电连接进行数据信号的传输。
本申请发明人在长期研发中发现,未来的高速第二电路板链路的信号传输速度要求越来越快,比如会从现在的10G逐步提升到17G,并预计再会从17G再提升到25G,在高速数据传输速率下,信号衰减只会越来越大。由于传统电路板走线损耗的限制,若需要实现速度为25G的链路,须要用到M6板材或者采用高速电缆方案来控制内部电路连接线中发生的信号衰减。而M6板材和高速电缆的价格非常昂贵,会造成成本增加。另外,若采用高速电缆代替上述的连接方式,则会将第二电路板上的成千上万条线路换成线缆连接,使得设计方案变得异常复杂。
现有技术中所采用的另一种方案是在与连接器10连接的电路板12上增加均衡器来提升信号幅度,进而控制信号衰减。但由于产品集成度越来越高,电路板12上的空间使用已经很紧张,再在电路板12上增加均衡器会增加产品体积。

请参见图16,图16为本发明第六实施例的连接器的剖面图。如图13所示,连接器708的内部进一步设置有信号增强电路10以及一导线组。导线组包括第一导线体701、第二导线体702、第三导线体703、第四导线体704、第五导线体705以及第六导线体706。第一导线体701连接外壳707外部的电源并为信号增强电路10供电。
信号增强电路10设置有电源输入端1、第一信号输入端2、第二信号输入端3、接地端4、第一信号输出端5以及第二信号输出端6。
第一导线体701的一端与电源输入端1连接,将来自外壳707外部的电源输入至信号增强电路10以为信号增强电路10供电,第二导线体702的一端与第一信号输入端2连接、第三导线体703的一端与第二信号输入端3连接,第二导线体702与第三导线体703将来自外壳707外部的差分信号输入至信号增强电路10;信号增强电路10对差分信号进行信号放大处理并分别输出至第五导线体705的一端以及第六导线体706的一端,接地端4连接于第四导线体704的一端与另一端之间。
第二导线体702的另一端、第三导线体703的另一端以及第四导线体704的另一端分别与设置在外壳707的一个表面上的多个导电触头712、713、714连接,第一导线体701的另一端、第五导线体705的另一端、第六导线体706的另一端以及第四导线体704的另一端分别与设置在外壳的另一个表面上的多个导电触头741、745、747、744连接。
其中,上述第二导线体702、第三导线体703以及第四导线体704为曲导线体,第一导线体701、第五导线体705以及第六导线体706为直导线体。值得注意的是,在本实施例中,为满足连接器708所连接的外接电路板(于下文将会详细介绍)之间的垂直角度需求,而在本实施例中作出上述设置,但,在本发明的备选实施例中,上述导线体的形状可根据实际需要设置,本发明对其不作具体限定。
并且,上述的第一导线体701、第二导线体702、第三导线体703、第四导线体704、第五导线体705以及第六导线体706与电源输入端1、第一信号输入端2、第二信号输入端3、接地端4、第一信号输出端5以及第二信号输出端7通过焊锡(如图黑色部分所示)连接,以实现固定及保持电连接。
值得注意的是,在本发明的备选实施例中,第五导线体705以及第六导线体706上可分别设置有耦合电容,以对经信号放大处理的差分信号进行隔直处理。
另外,由于上述的第一导线体701通过信号增强电路10与第五导线体705连接,因此第一导线体701与第五导线体705可合称为同一导线体。
同理,由于上述的第二导线体702通过信号增强电路10与第六导线体706连接,因此第二导线体702与第六导线体706亦可合称为同一导线体。
因此,本实施例中,导线组包括四个导线体,其中第一导线体为信号增强电路供电,第四导线体704接地,由第一导线体701与第五导线体705所组成的导线体以及由第二导线体702与第六导线体706所组成的导线体用于传输差分信号并经过信号增强电路10增强差分信号。
并且,在本发明的扩展实施例中,导线组可设置为多组,并且对应于每一组导线组均以上述所介绍的方式设置一信号增强电路,从而可实现多路差分信号同时放大。
请参见图17,图17为本发明第六实施例的电子设备的系统结构示意图。如图17所示,本实施例更揭示一种电子设备,其包括第一电路板720、第二电路板730以及图16所述的连接器708。
第一电路板720包括主板体726以及器件725,器件725上设置有差分信号输出端722、723以及接地端724。
第二电路板730包括主板体738以及器件739,器件739上设置有电源输出端731、差分信号输入端735、736以及接地端734。
第一电路板720上设置有接口(未标示)以供触头712、713、714插入,第二电路板730设置有接口(未标示)以供触头741、745、746、744插入。
在触头712、713、714插入第一电路板720上的接口、触头741、745、746、744插入第二电路板730的接口时,差分信号输出端722、723以及接地端724分别通过主板体726内的导线(未标示)以及第二导线体702、第三导线体703、第四导线体704与第一信号输入端2、第二信号输入端3、接地端4连接;电源输入端1、第一信号输出端5以及第二信号输出端6以及接地端4分别通过通过第一导线体701、第五导线体705、第六导线体706、第四导线体704以及主板体738内的导线(未标示)与电源输出端739、差分信号输入端735、736以及接地端734连接。
电源输出端731输出电源至信号增强电路10使其保持工作,差分信号输出端722、723输出差分信号至信号增强电路10以进行中继放大,信号增强电路10输出经中继放大后的差分信号至差分信号输入端735、736。并且,由于器件725的接地端724、信号增强电路10的接地端4以及器件739的接地端734保持连接,可以保证三者共地设置。
因此,通过第二电路板730所提供的电源,连接器708可以对从第一电路板720传输至第二电路板730的差分信号进行中继放大,从而有效抑制了信号衰减。
以下将结合图18至24对本发明第七实施例的一种连接器制造方法作出具体介绍,首先请参见图18,图18是本发明第七实施例中未设置有信号增强电路的连接器的剖视图。如图18所示,该连接器809包括外壳807以及导线体801、802、803、804。
请参见图19,图19是本发明第七实施例中对图18所示连接器进行切割的结构示意图。如图19所示,可拆开外壳807(在外壳807不完全包围导线体时,也可不拆开外壳807,而选择导线体裸露出外壳807的部分进行切割),沿着切割线S1以及S2对导线体801、802、803、804进行切割。
请参见图20,图20是本发明第七实施例中对图18所示连接器进行切割后的结构示意图。如图20所示,进行切割后,产生断开的导线体811、812、821、822、831、832、841、842。
请参见图21,图21示出在本发明第七实施例中信号增强电路在切割导线体后的植入位置。如图21所示,信号增强电路10植入于切割断口之间,信号增强电路10设置有电源输入端1、第一信号输入端2、第二信号输入端3、接地端4、第一信号输出端5以及第二信号输出端6。
请参见图22,图22示出在本发明第七实施例中作出第一种焊接方式后获得的连接器的结构示意图。如图22所示,将电源输入端1与导线体812焊接、将第一信号输入端2与导线体821焊接、将第二信号输入端3与导线体831焊接、将接地端4分别与导线体841以及导线体842焊接、将第一信号输出端5与导线体822焊接、将第二信号输出端6与导线体832焊接,将导线体811删除,获得第六实施例中所述的连接器(也可保留导线体811使其与另一个信号增强电路连接)。
请参见图23,图23示出在本发明第七实施例中作出另一种焊接方式后获得的连接器的结构示意图。如图23所示,将电源输入端1与导线体811焊接、将第一信号输入端2与导线体821焊接、将第二信号输入端3与导线体831焊接、将接地端4分别与导线体841以及导线体842焊接、将第一信号输出端5与导线体822焊接、将第二信号输出端6与导线体832焊接,将导线体812删除,获得第六实施例中所述的连接器(也可保留导线体812使其与另一个信号增强电路连接)。
因此,本发明公开了一种连接器及其制造方法以及电子设备,能够对差分信号进行信号放大处理,使得连接器在高传输数据速率下可有效控制信号衰减,同时不因此而增加电路板的体积且能有效控制制造和研发成本。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施例,并非因此限制本发明的专利范围,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
