Connector and circuit board assembly and electronic device having the same

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to a connector for use on the electronic device.

With the development of science and technology and the advancement of society, electronic devices play more and more roles in people's daily life and work. While minimizing the size of the electronic device itself, and how to properly utilize the space when the electronic device is coupled with an externally connected accessory, it has also become a topic of great concern.

Generally, the electronic device includes a front frame, a rear case that is engaged with the front frame, and a display screen, a printed circuit board, a connector, and the like housed between the front frame and the rear case. The display is located at the front end of the electronic device. In order to reduce the thickness of the electronic device, the printed circuit board is disposed in parallel on the rear surface of the display screen. The connector includes a main body, a pin and a wire insertion port respectively disposed on opposite surfaces of the main body, and the wire insertion port is perpendicular to a surface on which the pin on the main body is located, and is exposed through the rear case for connecting the signal line. In use, the signal is input from the signal line and transmitted to the board through the connector.

When in use, people usually hang electronic devices on the wall or placed against the wall, and the signal wires are connected to the connector through the exposed port of the rear case. However, if the signal line connecting the plug-in port is thick, it cannot be bent at will. If it is forced to bend, it will affect the normal transmission of the signal in the signal line. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal transmission of the signal, it is necessary to maintain a large distance between the electronic device and the wall to facilitate the connection of the signal lines.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a connector that can reasonably utilize space.

It is also necessary to provide a circuit board assembly that makes reasonable use of space.

It is also necessary to provide an electronic device that makes reasonable use of space.

A connector includes a body, a wire insertion port and a pin disposed on the body, and the wire insertion port is connected to the signal line, and an angle between the extending direction of the wire insertion port and the extending direction of the pin is an acute angle.

A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board and a connector, the connector includes a body and a plug-in port and a pin disposed on the body, the plug-in port is used for connecting a signal line, the pin is inserted on the circuit board, and the plug-in port is The angle between the extending direction and the board is an acute angle.

An electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board and a connector housed in the housing, the connector includes a body and a plug-in port disposed on the body, the plug-in port is externally connected with the signal line, the extension direction of the plug-in port and the circuit board The angle is an acute angle.

An electronic device includes a front frame, a rear case that is fastened to the front frame, and a connector that is received between the front frame and the rear case. The connector includes a body and a plug-in port disposed on the body, and the plug-in port is connected with an external signal. The angle between the extending direction of the wire insertion port and the rear case is an acute angle.

Since the extension direction of the patch port on the connector is an acute angle with the extending direction of the pin and the board and the wall, when the signal line is inserted into the patch port, the signal line can be prevented from being perpendicular to the wall. The upper extension extends the distance between the electronic device and the wall while ensuring the normal transmission of the signal, and effectively utilizes the space.

1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an electronic device 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment. The electronic device 100 includes a front frame 10, a rear case 20 that is engaged with the front frame 10, and a display screen 30, a printed circuit board 40, and a connector 50 that are housed between the front frame 10 and the rear case 20. In use, the front frame 10 is adjacent to the viewer, and the rear case 20 is remote from the viewer and near the wall 70 (as shown in Figure 4). The display screen 30 is located at the front end of the electronic device 100, and its front surface faces the viewer. The printed circuit board 40 is disposed parallel to the display screen 30 and the rear case 20, and has opposite first and second side faces 41, 43, wherein the first side 41 is opposite the rear surface of the display screen 30. The connector 50 is disposed on the second side 43 of the printed circuit board 40.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connector 50 includes a body 51, a pin 53 disposed on the body 51, and two patch ports 55a, 55b. The body 51 is a polygonal cube including a first surface 511, a second surface 512, and a third surface 513 coupled between the first surface 511 and the second surface 512. The second surface 512 is parallel to the printed circuit board 40 and opposite the second side 43 of the printed circuit board 40. The second surface 512 is perpendicular to the third surface 513. The first surface 511 extends from the end of the third surface 513 with respect to the second surface 512. The angle between the first surface 511 and the second surface 512 is α, and the angle α is an acute angle.

The pin 53 is inserted into the printed circuit board 40. The pin 53 is disposed on the second surface 512 and extends perpendicular to the second surface 512. The patch ports 55a and 55b are externally connected to signal lines such as a color difference signal line, an audio signal line, a video signal line, and the like. The patch ports 55a and 55b are disposed in parallel on the first surface 511 and extend in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 511. Plug end The angle between the extending direction of the port 55a and the second surface 512 is β, and the angle between the extending direction of the wire insertion port 55a and the extending direction of the pin 53 is γ. Because the angle between the first surface 511 and the second surface 512 is α, the angle α is an acute angle, and the extending direction of the wire insertion port 55a is perpendicular to the first surface 511. Therefore, the angle α and the angle β are mutually complementary, and the angle β is also It is an acute angle. Moreover, the extending direction of the pin 53 is perpendicular to the second surface 512, the extending direction of the wire port 55a is perpendicular to the first surface 511, and the angle between the first surface 511 and the second surface 512 is α, therefore, the pin The magnitude of the angle γ between the extending direction of 53 and the extending direction of the patch port 55a is equal to the magnitude of the angle α. Also, since the second surface 512 is disposed parallel to the printed circuit board 40, the angle between the extending direction of the patch port 55a and the printed circuit board 40 is also equal to the angle β, that is, the patch ports 55a and 55b are printed relative to The circuit board 40 extends obliquely. The printed circuit board 40 is parallel to the rear case 20, and therefore, the extending direction of the wire insertion ports 55a and 55b and the angle of the rear case 20 are also equal to the angle β. Considering the positional relationship between the patching ports 55a and 55b and the rear case 20 and the distance between the electronic device 100 and the wall, the preferred range of the angle β is 10 to 45 degrees because the angle α and the angle β are mutually exclusive. Therefore, the preferred range of the angle α is from 80 to 45 degrees. In the present embodiment, the angle β is 20 degrees and the angle α is 70 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the connector 50 is disposed inside the electronic device 100, the patch ports 55a and 55b are exposed through holes (not shown) in the rear case 20. In use, the electronic device 100 is usually placed or hung on the wall 70 against the wall 70, and the signal line 60 is inserted into the patch ports 55a and 55b from the rear side of the electronic device 100. Signals are transmitted from the patch ports 55a and 55b to the inside of the connector 50 and transmitted through the pins 53 to the printed circuit board 40.

Since the direction in which the patch terminals 55a and 55b on the connector 50 extend is an acute angle with the printed circuit board 40 and the wall 70. Therefore, when the signal line 60 is inserted into the patch terminals 55a and 55b, the problem of the signal line 60 being inserted from the direction perpendicular to the printed circuit board 40 and the wall 70 can be avoided. At this time, the signal line 60 does not need to be bent, and therefore, the distance between the electronic device 100 and the wall 70 can be reduced while ensuring the normal transmission of the signal, thereby effectively utilizing the space. In addition, the patch ports 55a and 55b extend obliquely with respect to the printed circuit board 40. Therefore, when the user inserts the signal line 60 into the patch ports 55a and 55b, the angle of rotation of the arm is small, which is more ergonomic. .
