Description

Electronic device with socket fixing mechanism

technical field

The invention relates to an electronic device with a socket fixing mechanism, in particular to an electronic device with a socket fixing mechanism that can assist the socket to be firmly arranged on a circuit board.

Background technique

At present, the fixing method of the socket of the traditional electronic device is mostly to directly solder the socket to the circuit board. When plugging and unplugging the plug, the user often shakes the plug. After a long time, the socket will often cause the solder to collapse due to the shaking of the plug, resulting in poor electrical contact between the socket and the circuit board.

In addition, the AC socket used by the traditional electronic device has three pins, which are respectively connected to the live wire, the neutral wire and the ground wire. Among them, the ground wire has the function of leading out the static electricity of the electronic device, and also has the function of protecting its internal circuit when the electronic device is subjected to a strong current (such as lightning strike). At present, the conventional method is to connect the ground wire pin to the circuit board, and then electrically connect it to a conductive structural member by way of wiring on the back of the circuit board, so as to achieve the effect of grounding. However, when this method is used for high-current testing (above 20 amps), it often fails to pass the test because the current exceeds the load of the wiring. When encountering a strong current, the electronic device and its internal circuits may lose their functions.

Contents of the invention

In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device with a socket fixing mechanism. The electronic device has a socket supporting frame, which can firmly fix the socket on the circuit board. It is convenient for users to insert and remove the plug without affecting the appearance. Moreover, the socket support frame made of conductive material can replace the traditional wiring coupling socket and conductive structural parts, and can achieve the effect of grounding through the safety test of large current.

According to the purpose of the present invention, an electronic device is proposed, including a conductive structure, a circuit board, a support frame and a socket. The circuit board is arranged on the conductive structure, the supporting frame has a supporting frame pin and a protruding part, and the supporting frame pin is welded with the circuit board in a manner of penetrating the circuit board. The protruding part is electrically connected and screwed to the conductive structural member, and the support frame is screwed to the circuit board. The socket has at least one socket pin, the socket is arranged on the supporting frame, and the socket pin is electrically connected with the circuit board.

In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is specifically cited below, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the detailed description is as follows:

Detailed ways

The present invention provides an electronic device with a socket fixing mechanism, which will be described in detail with various embodiments below.

Embodiment one

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which shows an exploded view of an electrical connection device and a circuit board. The electrical connection device 100 includes a socket 120 and a supporting frame 140 . The socket 120 has a socket pin 122 electrically connected to the first surface 162 of the circuit board 160 . In this embodiment, the socket pin 122 is a ground pin for connecting the ground wire. The support frame 140 is disposed on the circuit board 160 , and the socket 120 is disposed on the support frame 140 . In addition, the socket pins 122 are soldered to the circuit board 160 in a manner of penetrating the circuit board 160 . In addition, the support frame 140 also has support frame pins 142 and 144 . The supporting frame pins 142 , 144 are soldered to the circuit board 160 at intervals from each other. In addition, the socket 120 is screwed to the supporting frame 140 through a screw. In addition, the supporting frame 140 is also screwed to the circuit board 160 . In addition, the socket 120 is an AC socket, and the opening direction of the AC socket is substantially perpendicular to the circuit board 160 . In addition, the support frame 140 has a pair of wings 150 , the support frame 140 is screwed to the circuit board 160 through screws and the pair of wings 150 , and the auxiliary socket 120 can be more firmly fixed on the circuit board 160 .

However, those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention pertains will understand that the technology of the present invention is not limited thereto. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 at the same time. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the connection between an electrical connection device and the back of the circuit board, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the electrical connection device, the circuit board and the conductive structure. As shown in FIG. 2 , the circuit board 160 has a first surface 162 and a second surface 164 , and the support frame 140 is disposed on the first surface 162 . The second surface 164 has a wiring 166, the support frame pins 142, 144, 146, 148 and the socket pin 122 are soldered to the circuit board 160 in a manner penetrating the circuit board 160, and the socket pin 122 is connected to the support through the wiring 166. The rack pins 144 are electrically connected. Therefore, an electrical connection relationship is established between the socket pins 122 and the supporting frame 140 .

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , the supporting frame 140 is made of a conductive material (such as iron metal) and has a protruding portion 145 . The protruding portion 145 has a screw hole, and the protruding portion 145 is fixed on the conductive structural member by a screw. Therefore, the support frame 140 is in contact with the conductive structural member 180 to form an electrical connection, and the socket pin 122 is also electrically connected to the conductive structural member 180 . Since the conductive structure 180 is a large conductor, when a large current flows through the socket 120, the socket pin 122 can be used for grounding to protect the electronic device. However, the support frame 140 can also be made of non-conductive material, and can also play the role of firmly fixing the auxiliary socket 120 on the circuit board 160 .

Embodiment two

Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 at the same time. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the electrical connection device and the back of the circuit board, and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the electrical connection device, the circuit board and the conductive structure. The electrical connection device 200 includes a support frame 240 and a socket 120 . A support pin 242 of the support frame 240 and the socket pin 122 are soldered to the circuit board 160 in a manner of passing through the through hole 168 of the circuit board 160 . The socket pins 122 are electrically connected to the support frame pins 242 through the through holes 168 , so that the socket pins 122 are electrically connected to the support frame 240 . The protruding portion 145 is screwed to the conductive structural member 180 through a screw to fix the supporting frame 240 on the conductive structural member. The supporting frame 240 is electrically connected to the conductive structure 180 , that is, the socket pin 122 is electrically connected to the conductive structure 180 . In addition, since the socket pins 122 are directly contacted and coupled with the supporting frame pins 242 , the electronic device can pass a high-current grounding test, thereby providing a higher standard of safety protection. The rest of the same components continue to use their labels, and the connection relationship between them will not be repeated.
