The sliding groove 111 extends rearward from the front surface of the upper frame 11, and the sliding groove 111 penetrates the upper frame 11 up and down to let the movable member 3 be out of position. The first holding portion 112 is recessed from the lower surface of the top wall of the upper frame portion 11 to cooperate with the movable member 3, and the first holding portion 112 is a recess in this embodiment (of course, in other embodiments, the first holding portion 112 may also be a bump or the like).

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, the movable member 3 has a housing chamber 31 and a plurality of outer protrusions 32, and the housing chamber 31 penetrates the movable member 3 in the front-rear direction. Before the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1', the electrical connector 4 extends into the accommodating cavity 31, so that the accommodating cavity 31 can limit the electrical connector 4 in the up-down direction and the left-right direction. The plurality of outer protruding portions 32 are protruded from the outer wall surface of the movable element 3 toward a side far away from the accommodating cavity 31, and the outer protruding portions 32 are abutted against the upper frame 11, and the outer protruding portions 32 are abutted against the lower frame 12, so that the contact surface between the movable element 3 and the upper frame 11 and the contact surface between the movable element 3 and the lower frame 12 are reduced, and the sliding of the movable element 3 is facilitated.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, the movable member 3 has an upper wall 33 and a lower wall 34 in the up-down direction, and the upper wall 33 is located above the lower wall 34 and is disposed opposite to the lower wall 34.

The upper wall 33, the lower wall 34, and the two side walls 35 together define the accommodating chamber 31.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, the upper wall 33 has a front portion 331 and a rear portion 332 located behind the front portion 331, and the lower surface of the front portion 331 is higher than the lower surface of the rear portion 332, so that the docking element 1' can be more easily inserted into the receiving cavity 31 to dock with the electrical connector 4. The front portion 331 is further provided with two ribs 3311 at intervals along the left-right direction (of course, in other embodiments, the number of the ribs 3311 may be one, three, etc.), and the two ribs 3311 are formed protruding from the lower surface of the front portion 331 toward a side near the center of the receiving cavity 31, that is, the two ribs 3311 are formed protruding downward from the lower surface of the front portion 331, and the height of the lower surface of the ribs 3311 is equal to the height of the lower surface of the rear portion 332 (of course, in other embodiments, the height of the lower surface of the ribs 3311 may be higher than the height of the lower surface of the rear portion 332). The ribs 3311 serve to guide the mating element 1 'so that the mating element 1' can be accurately mated with the electrical connector 4.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, a second holding portion 333 is formed to extend rearward and upward from the rear end of the rear portion 332. The second holding portion 333 has a hook portion 3331, and the hook portion 3331 extends upward from the upper surface of the second holding portion 333. When the movable member 3 is held with the outer frame 1, the movable member 3 is disposed between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12, so that the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 can vertically position the movable member 3. The hook portion 3331 extends into the first holding portion 112, so that the first holding portion 112 can limit the hook portion 3331 in the front-back and left-right directions, and the frame 1 can limit the movable member 3 in the front-back and left-right directions. When the movable member 3 is fixed to the outer frame 1, the hook portion 3331 extends upward into the first fixing portion 112 to have a fixing height H1, and a first distance D1 is provided between the lower surface of the rear portion 332 of the upper wall 33 and the upper surface of the electrical connector 4 along the up-down direction, and the first distance D1 is greater than or equal to the fixing height H1.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, the upper wall 33 further extends upward to have a pushing portion 334, a portion of the pushing portion 334 is located above the rear portion 332 and connected to the rear portion 332, and another portion of the pushing portion 334 is located above the second holding portion 333 and connected to the second holding portion 333. The pushing portion 334 is configured to be pushed by an operator, so that the pushing portion 334 can enter or extend out of the sliding groove 111 in the front-rear direction, and further drive the movable member 3 to move in the front-rear direction.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, the lower wall 34 and the upper wall 33 are disposed at intervals in the up-down direction, and a plurality of first limiting portions 341 extend upward from the upper surface of the lower wall 34, and the first limiting portions 341 block the electrical connector 4 forward, so as to avoid excessive backward movement of the electrical connector 4. The first limiting portion 341 has a limiting height H2 along the up-down direction, and the limiting height H2 is smaller than the holding height H1 (of course, the limiting height H2 may be equal to the holding height H1 in other embodiments).

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, two side walls 35 are respectively located at left and right sides of the accommodating cavity 31, and the two side walls 35 are spaced and opposite to each other along the left and right directions, and the electrical connector 4 is limited between the two side walls 35. One side of each side wall 35, which is close to the electrical connector 4, is provided with a second limiting portion 351, the second limiting portion 351 is located in front of the first limiting portion 341, and two second limiting portions 351 of the two side walls 35 extend in opposite directions, so as to stop the electrical connector 4 backward and prevent the electrical connector 4 from excessive displacement forward.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11, the electrical connector 4 has an insulating body 41 and a plurality of conductive terminals 42 held to the insulating body 41. The insulating body 41 is provided with a rear supporting portion 411 corresponding to the plurality of first limiting portions 341, and the rear supporting portion 411 is located in front of the first limiting portions 341 and is configured to support against the first limiting portions 341 in a rear direction, so as to prevent the electrical connector 4 from excessively moving backward. A relief groove 412 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the insulating body 41 in the left-right direction. The two relief grooves 412 are in one-to-one correspondence with the two second limiting portions 351, and each relief groove 412 extends forward through the front surface of the insulating body 41. When the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1' and the movable member 3 is held with the outer frame 1, a second distance D2 is provided between the lower surface of the second limiting portion 351 and the lower surface of the yielding groove 412, and the second distance D2 is greater than the holding height H1 (of course, the second distance D2 may be equal to the holding height H1 in other embodiments). The plurality of conductive terminals 42 are configured to mate with the plurality of docking terminals 12', and the pair of clamping portions 121' of each docking terminal 12 'are configured to clamp the conductive terminals 42, so as to ensure stable docking between the conductive terminals 42 and the docking terminals 12'.

As shown in fig. 1 and 9, the plurality of cables 5 are located behind the plurality of conductive terminals 42 and are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conductive terminals 42, so as to be soldered with the conductive terminals 42.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, before the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating component 1', the mating component 1' is first held by the circuit board 6 and the housing 7, the cable 5 is soldered to the conductive terminal 42, and the electrical connector 4 extends into the accommodating cavity 31 and is limited by the movable member 3 in the up-down, left-right and front-rear directions. The operator operates the pushing portion 334 such that the movable member 3 is limited between the upper frame portion 11 and the lower frame portion 12, the pushing portion 334 is limited in the sliding groove 111, and the second holding portion 333 is held with the first holding portion 112. After that, the outer frame 1, the movable member 3, the electrical connector 4, and the plurality of cables 5 are moved together toward the side close to the docking member 1', so that the electrical connector 4 is docked and fixed with the docking member 1'. After that, the outer frame 1 is fixed to the housing 7, so that the electrical connector 4 and the movable member 3 are fixed to the housing 7 through the outer frame 1.

As shown in fig. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 9, when the electrical connector 4 is fixed in the abutting element 1' and the movable member 3 is fixed to the housing 7 after the housing 1 is fixed to the housing 7, the electrical connector 4 extends into the accommodating cavity 31, so that the movable member 3 limits the electrical connector 4 in the up-down direction through the upper wall 33 and the lower wall 34, and the upper wall 33 and the electrical connector 4 are disposed in a gap, and the lower wall 34 and the electrical connector 4 are disposed in a gap (of course, in other embodiments, the upper wall 33 and the electrical connector 4 may abut against each other, and/or the lower wall 34 and the electrical connector 4 may abut against each other). The movable member 3 limits the electrical connector 4 in the left-right direction by the two side walls 35, and the electrical connector 4 is disposed with the two side walls 35 in a gap (of course, in other embodiments, one side wall 35 of the two side walls 35 may abut against the electrical connector 4, or both side walls 35 may abut against the electrical connector 4). The movable member 3 limits the backward movement of the electrical connector 4 by the first limiting portion 341, and the first limiting portion 341 and the electrical connector 4 are disposed with a gap therebetween in the front-rear direction (of course, in other embodiments, the first limiting portion 341 and the electrical connector 4 may abut against each other in the front-rear direction), the movable member 3 limits the forward movement of the electrical connector 4 by the second limiting portion 351, and the second limiting portion 351 and the electrical connector 4 are disposed with a gap therebetween (of course, in other embodiments, the second limiting portion 351 may abut against the electrical connector 4 in the front-rear direction). The mating terminal 12 'may further clamp the conductive terminal 42 by the clamping portion 121', so as to limit the conductive terminal 42 and further limit the electrical connector 4.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 6 and 11, after the electrical connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating member 1' in the front-rear direction, the operator presses the pushing portion 334 downward, so that the movable member 3 moves downward as a whole, and further the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 are separated from each other, and the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4 are also separated from each other. Specifically, after the electrical connector 4 and the docking element 1' are docked and fixed in the front-rear direction, the operator presses the pushing portion 334 downward, so that the movable member 3 moves downward as a whole, and the hook portion 3331 of the second holding portion 333 moves downward to be released from the first holding portion 112, and the projection of the first limiting portion 341 does not overlap with the projection of the electrical connector 4 in the front-rear direction. However, since the first distance D1 is greater than the holding height H1 of the hook portion 3331 in the up-down direction, and the limiting height H2 of the first limiting portion 341 is smaller than the holding height H1, the upper wall 33 of the movable member 3 does not abut against the electrical connector 4, so that the electrical connector 4 is prevented from being displaced in the up-down direction, and damage of the cable 5 due to the displacement of the electrical connector 4 is prevented. And the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 are separated from each other by only pressing the pushing portion 334 downward, and the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4 are also separated from each other, so that not only is the vibration force of the outer frame 1 not transmitted to the electrical connector 4 through the movable member 3, but also the operation steps are simplified with respect to the first downward movement of the movable member 3 to separate the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 from each other, and then the other movement of the movable member 3 in other directions to separate the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4 from each other.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 6 and 11, when the electrical connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating member 1' in the front-rear direction and the movable member 3 is moved downward to the final position, the operator pushes the pushing portion 334 again toward the side close to the mating member 1', so that the movable member 3 is moved toward the side close to the mating member 1', i.e., the movable member 3 is moved forward, while the position of the electrical connector 4 is maintained. So that the hook portion 3331 of the second holding portion 333 is displaced forward to the front of the first holding portion 112, so as to prevent the hook portion 3331 from extending into the first holding portion 112 again to hold the cable 5 with the first holding portion 112, and prevent the cable 5 from being damaged due to the movement of the electrical connector 4.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, 7, 10 and 11, when the electric connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1 'in the front-rear direction and the movable member 3 moves forward to the final position, the position of the electric connector 4 remains unchanged, two of the ribs 111' respectively cooperate with two of the second limiting portions 351 to limit the rearward displacement of the movable member 3, and the circuit board 6 is located in front of the movable member 3 to limit the forward excessive displacement of the movable member 3.

As shown in fig. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9, a second embodiment of the electronic device 100 and the fan device 2 is different from the electronic device 100 and the fan device 2 of the first embodiment in that the rest of the structure and the connection relationship are the same as those of the first embodiment: when the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1', the mating element 1' is secured to the housing 7 via the circuit board 6. When the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating component 1', and the first retaining portion 112 is retained with the second retaining portion 333, the outer frame 1 is fixed with the housing 7, the upper wall 33 is disposed at a gap with the electrical connector 4, the lower wall 34 is disposed at a gap with the electrical connector 4, the electrical connector 4 is disposed at a gap with the two side walls 35, the first limiting portion 341 is disposed at a gap with the electrical connector 4 along the front-rear direction, and the second limiting portion 351 is disposed at a gap with the electrical connector 4. After that, the first holding portion 112 and the second holding portion 333 are not required to be released, but the movable member 3 is always connected with the outer frame 1, so that the vibration force of the outer frame 1 is not transmitted to the electric connector 4 through the movable member 3 due to the clearance between the movable member 3 and the electric connector 4, and the abutting joint of the electric connector 4 and the abutting element 1' is not affected.

As shown in fig. 2, 12 to 16, a third embodiment of the electronic device 100 and the fan device 2 is different from the electronic device 100 and the fan device 2 of the first embodiment in that the rest of the structure and the connection relationship are the same as those of the first embodiment: the holding height H1 of the hook 3331 is smaller than the limit height H2 of the first limit portion 341 along the up-down direction, the first distance D1 between the lower surface of the rear portion 332 of the upper wall 33 and the upper surface of the electrical connector 4 is larger than the limit height H2, and the second distance D2 between the lower surface of the second limit portion 351 and the lower inner wall surface of the relief groove 412 is larger than the limit height H2.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, before the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1', the mating element 1' and the housing 7 are separated from each other, that is, the mating element 1 'is relatively movable with respect to the housing 7, and the housing 1 and the housing 7 are also separated from each other (of course, in other embodiments, the mating element 1' and the housing 7 may be separated from each other, and the housing 1 and the housing 7 may be fixed to each other).

As shown in fig. 13, when the electrical connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating element 1' in the front-rear direction, the operator presses the pushing portion 334 downward, so that the movable member 3 moves downward as a whole. When the second holding portion 333 and the first holding portion 112 are released from each other, the outer frame 1 and the movable member 3 are separated from each other, and a partial projection of the first limiting portion 341 and a partial projection of the electrical connector 4 overlap each other in the front-rear direction.

As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 14 to 16, after that, the pushing portion 334 is pushed forward again, so that the movable member 3 moves forward, when the movable member 3 just moves forward by a certain distance, the first limiting portion 341 also moves forward, while the position of the electrical connector 4 remains unchanged (of course, in other embodiments, when the movable member 3 just moves forward by a certain distance, the first limiting portion 341 is abutted forward against the rear abutting portion 411, so that the movable member 3 drives the electrical connector 4 to move forward together). When the first limiting portion 341 abuts against the rear abutting portion 411, the movable member 3 continues to move forward to drive the electrical connector 4 to move forward together. After the movable member 3 moves forward together with the electrical connector 4 by a certain distance, the pushing portion 334 is pushed downward again, so that the movable member 3 moves downward, so that the projection of the first limiting portion 341 in the front-rear direction does not overlap with the projection of the electrical connector 4, i.e., the projection of the first limiting portion 341 in the front-rear direction is completely displaced from the projection of the electrical connector 4. At this time, the pushing portion 334 is pushed forward again, so that the movable member 3 continues to move forward while the position of the electrical connector 4 remains unchanged. When the movable member 3 moves to the final position toward the side close to the abutting element 1', that is, when the movable member 3 moves forward to the final position, the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4 are separated from each other, and the movable member 3 moves with respect to the electrical connector 4 by a sliding distance D3, the second limiting portion 351 cooperates with the rib 111' to limit the movable member 3 from moving backward. Finally, the docking element 1' is fixed to the housing 7 through the circuit board 6, and the outer frame 1 is fixed to the housing 7 (of course, in other embodiments, this step may be located after the movable member 3 drives the electrical connector 4 to move forward together, and the movable member 3 moves downward, so that the projection of the first limiting portion 341 and the projection of the electrical connector 4 in the front-rear direction do not overlap).

As shown in fig. 1, 2, and 17 to 18, a fourth embodiment of the electronic device 100 and the fan device 2 is different from the electronic device 100 and the fan device 2 of the third embodiment in that the rest of the structure and the connection relationship are the same as those of the third embodiment: after the electrical connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating element 1', the operator presses the pushing portion 334 downward, so that the movable member 3 moves downward as a whole. When the second holding portion 333 and the first holding portion 112 are released from each other, the outer frame 1 and the movable member 3 are separated from each other, the partial projection of the first limiting portion 341 and the partial projection of the electrical connector 4 overlap each other in the front-rear direction, and the first limiting portion 341 abuts against the rear abutting portion 411. After that, the operator pushes the pushing portion 334 forward again, so that the movable member 3 moves forward, and the movable member 3 moves forward together with the electrical connector 4. When the electrical connector 4 and the docking element 1 'are docked and fixed in the front-rear direction, and the movable member 3 drives the electrical connector 4 to move forward to the final position together, the protruding rib 111' is located in front of the second limiting portion 351 and is used for limiting forward displacement of the movable member 3, and the rear wall surface of the yielding groove 412 is located behind the second limiting portion 351 and is used for limiting rearward movement of the movable member 3. Finally, the docking element 1' is fixed to the housing 7 through the circuit board 6, and the outer frame 1 is fixed to the housing 7.

In summary, the invention has the following beneficial effects:

(1) The outer frame 1 is provided with the first fixing portion 112, and the second fixing portion 333 of the movable member 3 is matched with the first fixing portion 112, so that the movable member 3 is fixed with the outer frame 1; the electric connector 4 and the movable piece 3 are mutually fixed and are used for being butted with the butting element 1'; after the electrical connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating element 1', the electrical connector 4 and the movable member 3 are separated from each other, and/or the first holding portion 112 and the second holding portion 333 are released from each other, so that the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 are separated from each other; therefore, before the electric connector 4 is docked with the docking element 1', the position of the electric connector 4 is fixed, so that the electric connector 4 and the docking element 1' can be accurately docked, damage caused by collision of the electric connector 4 with other components of the electronic device 100 due to inaccurate docking is avoided, and after the electric connector 4 and the docking element 1 'are docked and fixed, vibration force of the outer frame 1 cannot be transmitted to the electric connector 4 through the movable piece 3, so that stable docking of the electric connector 4 and the docking element 1' can be ensured.

(2) Before the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1', the electrical connector 4 extends into the accommodating cavity 31, the accommodating cavity 31 limits the electrical connector 4 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, the first limiting portion 341 is located behind the second limiting portion 351, the first limiting portion 341 blocks the electrical connector 4 forward, and the second limiting portion 351 blocks the electrical connector 4 backward, so that the movable member 3 can limit the electrical connector 4 in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so that the electrical connector 4 can be accurately mated with the mating element 1'.

(3) When the electric connector 4 is docked with the docking element 1', the electric connector 4 is limited on the movable piece 3, so that the electric connector 4 can be well positioned before docking, further, the docking of the electric connector 4 with the docking element 1' is more accurate, when the electric connector 4 is docked and fixed with the docking element 1 'along the front-rear direction, the movable piece 3 moves towards one side close to the docking element 1', the electric connector 4 and the movable piece 3 are separated from each other, and the movable piece 3 and the outer frame 1 are separated from each other; so that any two of the electric connector 4, the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 are separated from each other, thereby ensuring that the vibration force of the outer frame 1 is not transmitted to the electric connector 4.

(4) The cables 5 are positioned behind the electric connector 4 and connected with the electric connector 4, and when the electric connector 4 is in butt joint with the butt joint element 1 'along the front-rear direction and is fixed, and the movable piece 3 moves towards one side close to the butt joint element 1', the position of the electric connector 4 is kept unchanged; the electrical connector 4 does not drive the cable 5 to move, so that the cable 5 is prevented from being pulled or blocked along with the movement of the electrical connector 4, and the cable 5 is prevented from being damaged.

(5) The second holding portion 333 extends upward from the upper wall 33, the first limiting portion 341 extends upward from the lower wall 34, and the holding height H1 of the second holding portion 333 in the up-down direction is greater than or equal to the limiting height H2 of the first limiting portion 341; after the electrical connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating element 1 'along the front-rear direction, the second holding portion 333 and the first holding portion 112 are released from each other, and the projection of the first limiting portion 341 does not overlap with the projection of the electrical connector 4 along the front-rear direction, so that the vibration of the outer frame 1 is not transmitted to the electrical connector 4, and the electrical connector 4 and the mating element 1' can be stably mated; and the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 can be separated from each other by only moving the movable member 3 downward once, and the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4 can be separated from each other, the operation steps can be simplified with respect to the case where the movable member 3 is moved once to separate the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 from each other and then the movable member 3 is moved once again to separate the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4 from each other.

(6) The first distance D1 is greater than or equal to the holding height H1 of the second holding portion 333, so that when the movable member 3 moves downward, a sufficient distance is provided between the movable member 3 and the electrical connector 4, so that the electrical connector 4 is prevented from moving downward due to the pushing force of the movable member 3, and the cable 5 is prevented from being damaged due to pulling along with the movement of the electrical connector 4.

(7) When the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating element 1' in the front-rear direction and the movable member 3 moves toward the mating element 1' to the final position, the two ribs 111' respectively cooperate with the two second limiting portions 351 to limit the backward displacement of the movable member 3, so as to prevent the movable member 3 from moving backward again to strike the outer frame 1 and the electrical connector 4, and damage the outer frame 1 and the electrical connector 4.

(8) Each of the relief grooves 412 extends forward through the front surface of the insulating body 41, so that when the movable member 3 moves forward, the movable member 3 does not drive the electrical connector 4 to move forward, and damage caused by pulling of the cable 5 along with movement of the electrical connector 4 is avoided; the second distance D2 is greater than or equal to the holding height H1; the movable piece 3 can be prevented from driving the electric connector 4 to move downwards together when moving downwards, so that the cable 5 is prevented from being damaged due to pulling along with the movement of the electric connector 4.

(9) When the electrical connector 4 is mated with the mating component 1', the circuit board 6 is fixed to the housing 7, and the mating component 1' is fixed to the circuit board 6, so that the vibration of the outer frame 1 needs to be transferred to the housing 7, then transferred to the circuit board 6 through the housing 7, and finally transferred to the mating component 1 'through the circuit board 6, and since the vibration force needs to be transferred to the mating component 1' through the housing 7 and the circuit board 6, the force transferred to the mating component 1 'is small and does not affect the mating of the electrical connector 4 and the mating component 1'.

And when the electric connector 4 is mated and fixed with the mating element 1 'along the front-back direction, the outer frame 1 is fixed with the casing 7, and the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 31 is disposed with the electric connector 4 along the up-down direction and the left-right direction, the first limiting portion 341 is disposed with the electric connector 4 along the front-back direction, and the second limiting portion 351 is disposed with the electric connector 4 along the front-back direction, so that the electric connector 4 has a gap with the movable member 3 along the up-down direction, the front-back direction and the left-right direction, and the vibration force of the outer frame 1 is prevented from being transmitted to the electric connector 4 through the movable member 3, thereby affecting the mating of the electric connector 4 and the mating element 1'.

(10) The outer protruding portion 32 protrudes from the outer wall surface of the movable member 3 away from the accommodating cavity 31, and the outer protruding portion 32 abuts against the outer frame 1, so that the contact area between the movable member 3 and the outer frame 1 is reduced, and the movable member 3 moves more smoothly in the front-rear direction.

The above detailed description is merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, so that all equivalent technical changes that can be made by the present specification and illustrations are included in the scope of the invention.
