Description

Connecting seat

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

A desktop computer usually has various components, such as a hard disk, a CD player, a motherboard, etc., fixed in the chassis to protect the above components, and then a connector is provided on the chassis, and the components are electrically connected to the connector through the cable. . External devices such as monitors and keyboards can be connected to the components in the chassis by connecting them to the connector.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a connector 10 includes a mounting plate 11 and a patch panel 13 . A plurality of mounting holes 111 are defined in the mounting plate 11, and a plurality of plugging portions 131 are formed in the plugging plate 13. The insertion portion 131 is engaged in the mounting hole 111 of the mounting board 11.

However, the structure of the above-mentioned connecting base 10 requires a very high manufacturing precision for the plug-in board 13, and the small deviation causes the plug-in portion on the plug-in board 13 to not be caught in the mounting hole of the mounting board 11, and the product is scrapped. The rate is high and not suitable for large-scale production. In addition, if the mounting board 11 is separately manufactured in multiple pieces, it is necessary to separately design a plurality of sets of molds for processing, and the production cost is high.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a connector that is easy to produce and has a low production cost.

A connecting base comprising a mounting plate and a plug-in board, the mounting board being provided with at least two amps The plug-in board is formed with at least two plug-in portions that are engaged in the mounting holes of the mounting board, the plug-in board includes at least two plug-in units, and at least two plug-in portions are correspondingly distributed in at least two plug-ins. And at least two plug-in units are connected to each other by an elastic member, so that the at least two plug portions are smoothly loaded into the corresponding at least two mounting holes.

The plurality of plug-in units of the plug-in board of the connecting base are connected to each other by an elastic member, so when the plug-in board is assembled to the mounting board, each plug-in unit can be displaced in a certain amount in the plane, and the manufacturing precision of the plug-in board In the case of not high, the plug-in portion of the plug-in unit can still be smoothly installed in the mounting hole of the mounting board. Therefore, the connector is easy to produce and has a low scrap rate, and the plug-in unit and the elastic member can be used by The single mold is integrally formed and the production cost is low.

The connector of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connector block 30 including a mounting plate 31, a plug-in board 33, and a bonding member 35 disposed therebetween.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the mounting plate 31 is a metal plate having a plurality of mounting holes 311 formed therein. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 31 has a rectangular shape, and two circular mounting holes 311 are arranged side by side at one end, and four rectangular mounting holes 311 are arranged side by side in the middle, and the mounting plate 31 is a steel plate.

The plug-in board 33 includes a first plug-in unit 331 , a second plug-in unit 332 , a mating portion 333 , a first plug portion 335 , a second plug portion 337 , and an elastic member 339 . The first plug portion 335 is distributed in the first The second plugging portion 337 is distributed on the second plugging unit 332, and the elastic member 339 is connected to the first plugging unit 331, the second plugging unit 332 and the mating portion 333, respectively. In this embodiment, the plug-in board 33 includes two first plug-in units 331 arranged side by side, four second plug-in units 332 arranged side by side, and a mating portion 333. The first plug-in unit 331 is a rectangular plate having a first circular insertion hole 3311 formed therein. The first insertion portion 335 is a circular annular protrusion extending outward along the hole wall of the first insertion hole 3311. Start. The second plug-in unit 332 is a rectangular plate having a rectangular second insertion hole 3321 formed therein, and the second insertion portion 337 is a rectangular annular protrusion extending outward along the hole wall of the second insertion hole 3321. The first plug-in unit 331 , the second plug-in unit 332 , the mating portion 333 , the first plug portion 335 , and the second plug portion 337 are both made of a plastic material. The elastic member 339 is substantially dome-shaped and is made of a plastic material so that the degree of bending can vary within a certain range.

The first connecting portion 335 and the second connecting portion 337 of the corresponding plug-in board 33 are provided with a relief hole 351 corresponding to the first plug-in unit 331 on the plug-in board 33, A through hole 353 is defined in a gap between the second plug unit 332 and the mating portion 333. The adhesive member 35 is a double-sided tape in this embodiment.

When the connector 30 is assembled, the adhesive member 35 is attached to the plug-in board 33, and the first plug portion 335 and the second plug portion 337 of the plug-in board 33 pass through the escape hole 351 of the adhesive member 35. Then, the first plug portion 335 and the second plug portion 337 are snapped into the mounting holes 311 of the mounting board 31, and the mounting board 31 and the bonding member 35 are attached.

In the above assembly process, since the degree of bending of the elastic member 339 can be changed, the first plugging unit 331 and the second plugging unit 332 can each have a certain amount of position in the plane. The first plug portion 335 and the second plug portion 337 on the plug-in board 33 can be smoothly loaded into the mounting hole 311 of the mounting board 31, so that the connection board 33 can be smoothly inserted into the mounting hole 311 of the mounting board 31. The plug-in board 33 of the seat 30 has a low scrap rate and is suitable for mass production. In addition, each component of the plug-in board 33 is made of a plastic material, so that the plug-in board 33 can be integrally formed by a single mold, which has high production efficiency and low production cost. In addition, the bonding between the mounting plate 31 and the plug-in board 33 by the bonding member 35 can increase the bonding strength between the two.

It can be understood that the elastic member 339 can also be made of other materials, such as metal elastic pieces. At this time, the first insertion portion 335 and the second insertion portion 337 are formed by positioning the elastic member 339 in the mold and then injecting the plastic material. The plug-in board 33 is available, so that the plug-in board 33 can also be integrally formed from a single mold. In addition, the plug-in board 33 can also comprise only two plug-in units, respectively corresponding to the plug-in unit on the plug-in unit.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application in this case. Equivalent modifications or variations made by persons skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
