Description

Crimp connector and method of manufacturing the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a crimp connector, and more particularly, to a crimp connector and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background
Referring to the patent of invention No. CN105098432A published in china, a press-fit connector is disclosed, in which a first spring portion is connected between an upper flat plate portion and a lower flat plate portion, and a second spring portion extending from the lower flat plate portion and located below the upper flat plate portion to support the upper flat plate portion. However, when the upper flat plate part is pressed downwards, the first spring part connected to the side edge of the upper flat plate part firstly bears all the pressure, and after the upper flat plate part presses downwards against the top end of the second spring part, the first spring part and the second spring part bear the pressure together. In this process, the first spring part tends to be subjected to more pressure than the second spring part, so that the first spring part is more vulnerable. Furthermore, the positions of the first spring part and the second spring part which bear the pressure are asymmetric relative to the upper flat plate part, so that the pressures borne by the two spring parts are unbalanced, and the up-and-down movement of the upper flat plate part is not stable enough. Furthermore, the widths of the first spring part and the second spring part in the transverse direction are both larger than the thicknesses of the first spring part and the second spring part in the vertical direction, namely, the first spring part and the second spring part are both vertically arranged structures, and a supporting component for preventing the upper flat plate part from continuously moving downwards is not arranged, so that the stress of the spring parts at the position of the root base part is large, the yield loss state is easy to occur, and the stability of the rebound height is influenced. Furthermore, since the two spring portions are formed by winding the upper flat plate portion in the same direction, the winding process is complicated, and the two elastic portions are easily interfered with each other, which makes the manufacturing difficult.
Therefore, there is a need to provide a new crimp connector to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

The direction definitions referred to in the description of the present invention all refer to fig. 1 as a reference, and the pressing plate 3 of the press-fit connector 100 for press-fitting with a mating connector (not shown) is defined as an upper end, that is, the press-fit direction is an up-down direction; a lateral direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, i.e., a left-right direction; and a front-rear direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the lateral direction. In fig. 1 to 13, the X axis indicates the left-right direction, and the arrow on the X axis indicates the left direction; the Y axis represents the up-down direction, and the arrow of the Y axis indicates the up direction; the Z-axis represents the front-rear direction, and the arrow of the Z-axis indicates the front direction.

A moving space (not numbered) for moving the pressing plate 3 up and down is formed between the base plate and the pressing plate 3. The two elastic parts have elasticity in the up-down direction so that the pressing plate 3 can elastically move in the up-down direction in the movable space (not numbered).
Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the pressing plate 3 is a flat plate structure and is disposed horizontally. The platen 3 includes four side edges. The central position of the pressing plate 3 is provided with a contact point 31 formed to protrude upward. The pressure plate 3 further comprises two ears 32. The two ears 32 are respectively located at two opposite side edges of the four side edges and are formed by bending and extending downwards.

The width T1 of the first resilient arm 43A, 43B in the transverse direction is greater than the width T2 of the second resilient arm 45A, 45B in the transverse direction. The width T2 in the lateral direction of the first beam portions 46B, 46e of the second resilient arms 45A, 45B is smaller than the thickness W2 in the up-down direction thereof. The width T1 of the first resilient arm 43A, 43B in the transverse direction is greater than the width T3 of the ear 32 in the transverse direction. The width T3 of the ear portion 32 in the lateral direction is smaller than the thickness W3 thereof in the up-down direction. The second elastic arms 45A, 45B are entirely perpendicular to the surface of the substrate in the up-down direction. The sloping plate portions 44b, 44e are perpendicular to the side surfaces of the first beam portions 46b, 46e in the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The inclined plate portions 44b, 44e and the first cross member portions 46b, 46e have a gap 47 therebetween in the lateral direction, and the ear portion 32 is located in the gap 47. The height H1 of the first elastic arms 43A, 43B in the up-down direction is greater than the height H2 of the ear portion 32 in the up-down direction.

Referring to fig. 7, when viewed in the vertical direction, the entire first elastic portion 41 is located on the left side of the contact point 31 of the platen 3. The connecting portion 46a of the second elastic arm 45A of the first elastic portion 41 is connected to the left end side edge of the first base plate 21 at a position near the front end. Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the first beam portion 46b of the second elastic arm 45A of the first elastic portion 41 horizontally extends rearward from the rear end edge of the upper end of the connecting portion 46 a. The second beam portion 46c of the second elastic arm 45A of the first elastic portion 41 is bent rightward in the transverse direction from the rear end edge of the first beam portion 46b and extends horizontally. The distance between the front end of the sloping plate part 44b of the first elastic arm 43A of the first elastic part 41 and the upper surface of the first bottom plate 21 in the vertical direction is greater than the distance between the rear end of the sloping plate part 44b and the upper surface of the first bottom plate 21 in the vertical direction, that is, the sloping plate part 44b of the first elastic arm 43A of the first elastic part 41 extends obliquely upward from back to front. The second bent portion 44c of the first elastic arm 43A of the first elastic portion 41 is bent forward from the lower end edge of the second beam portion 46c to connect the lower end of the inclined plate portion 44 b. The first bent portion 44a of the first elastic arm 43A of the first elastic portion 41 is bent rearward from the upper end of the inclined plate portion 44b to connect the left side of the front end side edge of the pressing plate 3.
Referring to fig. 7, the second elastic portion 42 is entirely located on the right side of the contact point 31 of the platen 3 when viewed in the vertical direction. The connecting portion 46d of the second elastic arm 45B of the second elastic portion 42 is connected to the right end side edge of the second base plate 22 at a position close to the rear end. Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the first beam portion 46e of the second elastic arm 45B of the second elastic portion 42 horizontally extends forward from the front edge of the upper end of the connecting portion 46 d. The second beam portion 46f of the second elastic arm 45B of the second elastic portion 42 is bent laterally leftward from the front end edge of the first beam portion 46e and extends horizontally. The distance between the rear end of the sloping plate portion 44e of the first elastic arm 43B of the second elastic portion 42 and the upper surface of the second bottom plate 22 in the vertical direction is greater than the distance between the front end of the sloping plate portion 44e and the upper surface of the second bottom plate 22 in the vertical direction, that is, the sloping plate portion 44e of the first elastic arm 43B of the second elastic portion 42 extends obliquely upward from front to back. The second bent portion 44f of the first elastic arm 43B of the second elastic portion 42 is bent rearward from the lower end edge of the second beam portion 46f to connect the lower end of the ramp portion 44 e. The first bent portion 44d of the first elastic arm 43B of the second elastic portion 42 is bent forward from the upper end of the inclined plate portion 44e to connect the right side position of the rear end side edge of the pressing plate 3.
Referring to fig. 7, the two ear portions 32 are respectively located at two side edges of the left end and the right end of the pressing plate 3. The pressing plate 3, the ear portions 32, and the first elastic arms 43A, 43B are surrounded by the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B when viewed in the up-down direction.
As can be seen from the above description, the first elastic part 41 and the second elastic part 42 of the crimp connector 100 of the present invention have the same structure, but the first elastic part 41 and the second elastic part 42 are located below the pressing plate 3 and spaced apart in the transverse direction, and are oppositely displaced from each other with the pressing plate 3 as the center and are relatively independent, and do not overlap each other in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the rear view of the compression connector 100 of the present invention viewed from the rear to the front is the same as the front view shown in fig. 5, and the right view viewed from the right to the left is the same as the left view shown in fig. 6. The first elastic part 41 and the second elastic part 42 do not interfere with each other in the downward compression process, and the structure is simple.
When the pressing plate 3 is pressed from top to bottom, the pressing plate 3 moves downward and receives a supporting force from the first elastic part 41 and the second elastic part 42 from bottom to top. As the pressing plate 3 moves downward, the two first elastic arms 43A, 43B and the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B of the first elastic part 41 and the second elastic part 42 are compressed downward, and the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B may be inclined inward. In the downward movement degree of the pressing plate 3, the two second bent portions 44c, 44f of the first elastic portion 41 and the second elastic portion 42 first press against the upper surfaces of the first bottom plate 21 and the second bottom plate 22, so that the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B of the first elastic portion 41 and the second elastic portion 42 do not continue to be compressed downward and do not further incline inward, and when the pressing plate 3 continues to move downward, the two first elastic arms 43A, 43B of the first elastic portion 41 and the second elastic portion 42 continue to be compressed downward, so that the stress borne by the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B is reduced, the lowering amount of the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B is reduced, and the elastic capacity of the two second elastic arms 45A, 45B is ensured. When the pressing plate 3 continues to move downward and compresses the two first elastic arms 43A, 43B downward to approach the preset limit of the present invention, the lower ends of the two ears 32 are pressed downward against the upper surfaces of the first bottom plate 21 and the second bottom plate 22, so that the two first elastic arms 43A, 43B are no longer compressed downward, thereby reducing the amount of the two first elastic arms 43A, 43B being taken down, and also protecting the whole press-fit connector 100 from being compressed downward, thereby protecting the elastic capabilities of the two first elastic arms 43A, 43B and the whole press-fit connector 100, and effectively ensuring that the pressing plate 3 can recover to the preset height position when no longer being pressed downward. It can be seen that the different arrangement directions of the first elastic arms 43A, 43B and the second elastic arms 45A, 45B of the elastic portion of the crimp connector 100 according to the present invention can achieve the beneficial effect of protecting the stability of the entire crimp connector 100.
The present invention further provides a method of manufacturing a crimp connector 100: comprises the following steps of (a) carrying out,
in a first step, a metal plate (not shown) is provided, the metal plate (not shown) is punched to form a pressing plate 3 having a contact point 31, a first elastic portion 41 and a second elastic portion 42 respectively connected to opposite side edges of the pressing plate 3, and a strip (not shown) in which the first bottom plate 21 is connected to the first elastic portion 41 and the second bottom plate 22 is connected to the second elastic portion 42.
Referring to fig. 10, in the second step, the second beam portions 46c and 46f of the two second elastic arms 45A and 45B of the first elastic portion 41 and the second elastic portion 42 are bent downward, respectively.
Referring to fig. 10, in the third step, the second bent portion 44c of the first elastic arm 43A of the first elastic portion 41 is bent backward, and the second bent portion 44f of the first elastic arm 43B of the second elastic portion 42 is bent forward.
Referring to fig. 12, in the fourth step, the first bent portion 44a of the first elastic arm 43A of the first elastic portion 41 is bent backward, and the first bent portion 44d of the first elastic arm 43B of the second elastic portion 42 is bent forward.
Referring to fig. 12, in the fifth step, the connecting portion 46a of the second elastic arm 45A of the first elastic portion 41 is bent horizontally to the right. The connecting portion 46d of the second elastic arm 45B of the second elastic portion 42 is horizontally bent leftward. The first floor 21 and the second floor 22 are made horizontally coplanar as shown in fig. 1.
While the above description is a preferred embodiment of the method for manufacturing the crimp connector 100 according to the present invention, in other embodiments, the first elastic portion 41 and the second elastic portion 42 may be formed by bending separately.
In the first embodiment of the press-fit connector 100 of the present invention, the lug portions 32 are connected to the other two side edges of the two side edges to which the two elastic portions are connected, respectively. Since the two ear portions 32 have a long up-down length, it is preferable that before the second step, the two ear portions 32 are bent downward respectively so that the two ear portions 32 are perpendicular to the press plate 3.
