Cable connector combination and wire leveling method thereof

The present invention relates to a cable connector assembly and a wire leveling method thereof, and more particularly to a cable connector assembly for use in an electronic device and a wire leveling method thereof.

Please refer to the Chinese Patent Publication No. CN2689526Y, which discloses a power connector including an insulative housing, a conductive terminal received in the insulating body, and a lead electrically connected to the conductive terminal. Generally, the wires of the power connector are of a single-wire structure, so that the electrical performance can be saved and the cost can be saved. The power connector disclosed in the Chinese Patent Publication No. CN2689526Y includes only six wires, but the power supply needs differently. The number of wires selected is also different, sometimes even more than a dozen, and even some electronic devices use several such power connectors at the same time. Such power connectors are often placed in a small space between the power supply and the chassis of the chassis. However, when the number of wires of the power connector is large, the wires of some parts tend to be messy, and one is pressed. The other one, and the installation space at this location is relatively small, so that the installation space of the power supply makes the power supply difficult to install.

Therefore, we need to make improvements to make up for the aforementioned shortcomings.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cable connector assembly that accommodates the internal space requirements of an electronic device and facilitates cable management, and a wire leveling method thereof.

In order to achieve the above object, the cable connector combination of the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cable connector combination is applied to an electronic device, and has a cable connector, and the cable connector includes an insulating body and is correspondingly received. a plurality of conductive terminals of the insulative housing and a plurality of wires electrically connected to the corresponding conductive terminals and extending out of the insulative housing, the cable connector assembly further comprising a flat plate and a tape for finishing the wires, the part of the plurality of wires being close to the plate And arranged in a row without interlacing and stacking, the tape is wrapped around the periphery of the panel to tie the wire flat therein.

To achieve the above object, the wire flattening method of the cable connector combination of the present invention comprises the steps of: preparing two flat plates, applying a layer of glue on one side of at least one flat plate; straightening the wires so that the wires are flatly attached to a flat plate. On the side coated with glue to make the wire The flat portions are not staggered and stacked with each other; the other flat plate is flatly attached to the other side of the wire so that the wire clip is placed between the two plates; a layer of tape is wound around the two plates, and the wires are wrapped Flattened in it.

Compared with the prior art, the cable connector combination of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by flattening the wires side by side between the two flat plates, and then applying the adhesive tape to fix the two flat plates, so that the wires are straight and juxtaposed without deformation. , curved to meet the requirements for installation in tight spaces.

The invention will now be further described with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments.

Referring to the first to third figures, the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention includes a cable connector 1, a flat plate 2, and a blanket 3.

The cable connector 1 is a power connector, and includes an insulative housing 11 , a plurality of conductive terminals (not shown) received in the insulative housing 11 , and a plurality of wires 12 electrically connected to the conductive terminals. A plurality of terminal receiving slots 110 are defined in the insulative housing 11 , and the plurality of conductive terminals are received in the terminal receiving slots 110 in the corresponding insulative housing 11 . The plurality of wires 12 are electrically connected to the corresponding conductive terminals by means of riveting, and extend out of the insulative housing 11. The cable connector 1 has a plug portion 112 through which the power supply or signal of the cable connector 1 and the mating connector are turned on by mating with a mating connector (not shown). The locking body 111 of the cable connector 1 is provided with a locking arm 111. When the cable connector 1 is mated with the mating connector, the locking arm 111 cooperates with a corresponding locking device on the docking connector to ensure the cable. The stability of the mating of the connector 1 and the mating connector is not easy to loosen.

In the preferred embodiment of the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention, four cable connectors 1 are included, each cable connector 1 including a plurality of wires 12. The flat plate 2 is two thin polyethylene (polyethylene) plates, and the plurality of wires 12 of the cable connector 1 are completely sandwiched by the two flat plates 2, and the distance between the two plates 2 is just right. It is equal to the outer diameter of the single wire 12, so that all the wires 12 of the cable connector 1 are neatly sandwiched between the two plates 2 without being staggered and stacked. The adhesive tape 3 is an acetic acid adhesive tape which is resistant to high temperature, strong adhesion, and has high strength and high stability. A tape 3 is wound around the periphery of the flat plate 2 to fix the flat plate 3 and the wires 12 therein.

The wire leveling method of the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention is shown in FIG. First, prepare a flat plate and apply a layer of glue on one side; then smooth all the wires 12 so that the wires 12 are flatly attached to the glued side of the flat plate 2, so that the flat portions of the wires 12 are not staggered with each other. stack Stacking; then sticking a flat plate 2 coated with glue on the wire 12 so that all the wires 12 are laid flat between the two plates 2; then wrapping a layer of tape 2 around the two plates 2, so that the wire 12 is firmly Leveling between two plates 2.

The cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention can be placed in a narrow space inside the electronic device to avoid the influence of a plurality of wires being scattered to affect other components mounted inside the electronic device, and to keep the inside of the electronic device clean and tidy.

The wire leveling method of the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention is not limited to the power connector, and other connectors having similar wire structures can be applied to the wire leveling. The flat plate 2 of the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention can also be used with only one intermediate bendable flat plate, which can also achieve the purpose of leveling the wires. A pair of grooves may be provided between the two plates 2 of the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention to receive the wires 12 therein to effectively prevent the wires 12 from moving between the plates 2.
