Technical Field

The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly, to a floating connector mounting structure and an electronic device.

Background

Electronic devices often include a variety of components, and the electrical connections between different components primarily include cables and connectors. Connectors are further classified into non-floating connectors and floating connectors. Assembly errors and design tolerances of the parts result in compression of the non-floating connector when making electrical connections. The non-floating connector creates compression over time which will affect the stability of the component. Therefore, floating connectors are currently the primary connection means.

The floating connector includes a male end and a female end. The male end and the female end have an effective floating range of +/-0.5 mm. Therefore, in the blind mounting process, as long as the deviation range of the male end and the female end is within the effective floating range of +/-0.5 mm, the male end and the female end can be matched in a plugging mode, and therefore automatic assembly can be achieved efficiently and simply.

However, the electronic device inevitably has vibration during use. If the weight difference between the element for mounting the male end and the element for mounting the female end is large, the vibration amplitude is different under the same vibration frequency, so that the relative displacement of the male end and the female end may exceed the effective floating range, and the floating connector is damaged and needs to be improved.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the utility model is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the utility model. As used herein, the term "or/and" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

The embodiment of the present invention first provides a mounting structure of a floating connector as described in fig. 1, which includes a floating connector, a first connection assembly 200, and a second connection assembly 300.

The floating connector includes a male end 110 and a female end 120. When the male end 110 and the female end 120 are in plug-in fit, the male end 110 and the female end 120 have an effective floating range of ± 0.5mm in a plane perpendicular to a direction in which the male end 110 and the female end 120 approach each other. The first coupling assembly 200 includes a panel member 210, a fixing member 220, and a first element 230, which are coupled in sequence from the outside to the inside. The second connection assembly 300 includes a housing member 310 and a second member 320 mounted on the housing member 310. One of the male end 110 and the female end 120 is fixedly connected to the first member 230, and the other is fixedly connected to the second member 320. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the male end 110 is fixedly connected to the first member 230 and the female end 120 is fixedly connected to the second member 320. The opposite sides of panel member 210 are provided with peripheral edges 211, and peripheral edges 211 on the two sides of panel member 210 are attached to the opposite sides of shell member 310. The skirts 211 move along both sides of the housing member 310 to guide the male end 110 and the female end 120 to be coupled by plugging, thereby improving convenience of the male end 110 and the female end 120 to be coupled by plugging.

The fixing member 220 includes a mounting portion 221 and a connecting portion 222. The connection portion 222 includes a connection section 222a, a middle section 222b, and a fixed section 222c, which are connected in sequence. The connection section 222a is connected to the lower end of the mounting part 221. The mounting portion 221, the connecting section 222a and the middle rotating section 222b enclose a groove. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the intermediate section 222b and the mounting portion 221 are parallel to each other, the connecting section 222a and the fixing section 222c are parallel to each other, and the intermediate section 222b and the fixing section 222c are perpendicular to each other. The first element 230 snaps into the recess and the lower end of the first element 230 abuts the connecting segment 222 a. When the first element 230 and the first fixing member 220 are assembled, the first element 230 may be abutted with the connecting portion 222, so as to achieve the pre-positioning of the first element 230 and the first fixing member 220, and facilitate the fixed connection of the first element 230 and the fixing member 220 by the second fastener. When the first element 230 is snapped into the groove, the fixing member 220 has a stronger positioning effect on the first element 230 than when the first element 230 is merely abutted against the connecting portion 222, so that the first element 230 and the fixing member 220 can be more conveniently fixedly connected through the second fastener. The male end 110 is located at a side of the first member 230 facing the fixing section 222c and at a lower end of the first member 230. The middle of the intermediate section 222b and the middle of the fixed section 222c are provided with notches 222d that avoid the male end 110. The notch 222d is provided to prevent the connector 222 from interfering with the mating of the male end 110 and the female end 120. The fixing section 222c is provided with a first fixing hole 222c1, and the second member 320 is provided with a second fixing hole 321. The first fastening holes 222c1 are aligned with the second fastening holes 321 after the male end 110 and the female end 120 are mated. The first fastening member passes through the first fixing hole 222c1 and the second fixing hole 321, thereby achieving the fixed connection of the fixing member 220 and the second member 320. And the first member 230 is fixedly connected with the fixing member 220, so that the first member 230 and the second member 320 are fixedly connected. When the electronic device vibrates, the first element 230 and the second element 320 do not have a large relative displacement, that is, the first element 230 and the second element 320 are relatively fixed in position. The male end 110 is fixedly connected to the first member 230, and the female end 120 is fixedly connected to the second member 320. Therefore, with the first member 230 and the second member 320 being relatively fixed in position, the male end 110 and the female end 120 do not have a large relative displacement, and the relative displacement of the male end 110 and the female end 120 does not exceed the effective floating range, thereby reducing the damage of the floating connector during vibration.

Mounting portion 221 is provided with positioning hole 221a, first element 230 is also provided with positioning hole 221a, and panel member 210 is provided with fixing post 212. The first element 230, the mounting portion 221 and the panel member 210 are fixedly connected by the second fastener passing through the positioning hole 221a of the first element 230 and the positioning hole 221a of the mounting portion 221 in sequence and then matching with the fixing post 212. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, attachment post 212 and the second fastener are mated by a threaded connection.

In some embodiments, the first element 230 is a lamp panel and the second element 320 is a PCB panel. At this time, the mounting portion 221 is provided with an inner light transmission hole 221b, and the panel member 210 is provided with an outer light transmission hole 213. The light emitted from the lamp panel passes through the inner light transmitting hole 221b and the outer light transmitting hole 213 in sequence. The second element 320 is electrically connected with the first element 230 through the plug-in fit of the male end 110 and the female end 120, so that the light emitting condition of the first element 230 can be controlled.

Embodiments of the present invention additionally provide an electronic apparatus including the mounting structure of the floating connector according to any one of the above embodiments. The electronic equipment adopting the mounting structure of the floating connector is stable in operation and high in reliability. The electronic device may specifically be a storage server.
