The electronic device 10 includes a casing 12, a circuit board 14, and a connector mechanism 16. The circuit board 14 is disposed in the casing 12, and the connector mechanism 16 is disposed on one side of the casing 12 and electrically connected to the circuit board 14. An external connector 18 can be inserted into the connector mechanism 16 to establish a signal transmission path with the circuit board 14. In one of the embodiments of the present invention, the external connector 18 is an RJ45 connector, and the connector mechanism 16 can be an RJ45 slot, respectively, but the connector type and slot type to which the present invention is applicable is not limited thereto. The outer joint 18 has a casing 20, a bridge portion 22, and a fixing portion 24. A first terminal set 26 is disposed inside the outer casing 20, and the fixing portion 24 is disposed on the upper end surface of the outer casing 20 via the bridge portion 22.
請參閱第1圖至第3圖，第2圖與第3圖分別為本創作實施例之連接器機構16於不同視角之示意圖。連接器機構16包含有一包覆件28、一第二端子組30、一開口結構32、二卡合件34以及二限位件36。包覆件28用來容置外部接頭18。外部接頭18***包覆件28時，包覆件28之數個內壁面281係分別接觸外部接頭18之數個外壁面181，確保外部接頭18可緊密地設置在包覆件28內。第二端子組30設置於包覆件28 內。外部接頭18***包覆件28時，第二端子組30可電性連接第一端子組26，以使外部接頭18可透過連接器機構16與電路板14傳輸電子訊號。Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 . FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are respectively schematic diagrams of the connector mechanism 16 of the present embodiment in different viewing angles. The connector mechanism 16 includes a covering member 28, a second terminal set 30, an opening structure 32, two engaging members 34, and two limiting members 36. The cover member 28 is for receiving the external joint 18. When the outer joint 18 is inserted into the cover member 28, the plurality of inner wall surfaces 281 of the cover member 28 respectively contact the plurality of outer wall faces 181 of the outer joint 18, ensuring that the outer joint 18 can be tightly disposed within the cover member 28. The second terminal set 30 is disposed on the covering member 28 Inside. When the external connector 18 is inserted into the cover member 28, the second terminal set 30 can be electrically connected to the first terminal set 26, so that the external connector 18 can transmit electronic signals through the connector mechanism 16 and the circuit board 14.
為了有效地將外部接頭18固定在包覆件28內，連接器機構16係將開口結構32設置在包覆件28上，且卡合件34設置於包覆件28上臨接開口結構32之處。開口結構32可區分為一上開口部321以及一側開口部323，上開口部321和側開口部323相互連通且垂直，以分別容置外部接頭18的不同部位。卡合件34可位於上開口部321的邊緣處。外部接頭18之固定部24係以可彈性彎曲方式經由橋接部22連結到外殼20，因此外部接頭18***包覆件28時，橋接部22係通過上開口部321，外殼20係通過側開口部323，且固定部24可抵靠在卡合件34上，以限制固定部24脫離上開口部321，意即限制外部接頭18沿著一第一方向D1相對連接器機構16之移動。欲將外部接頭18自連接器機構16移除，則可按壓固定部24使其相對外殼20產生彎曲變形，使得固定部24與卡合件34分離，此時固定部24可穿過開口結構32而無結構干涉，故外部接頭18可自連接器機構16抽出分離。In order to effectively fix the outer joint 18 in the covering member 28, the connector mechanism 16 is disposed on the covering member 28, and the engaging member 34 is disposed on the covering member 28 adjacent to the opening structure 32. At the office. The opening structure 32 can be divided into an upper opening portion 321 and a side opening portion 323. The upper opening portion 321 and the side opening portion 323 communicate with each other and are perpendicular to accommodate different portions of the outer joint 18, respectively. The engaging member 34 may be located at an edge of the upper opening portion 321 . The fixing portion 24 of the outer joint 18 is elastically bent to be coupled to the outer casing 20 via the bridge portion 22, so that when the outer joint 18 is inserted into the covering member 28, the bridging portion 22 passes through the upper opening portion 321, and the outer casing 20 passes through the side opening portion. 323, and the fixing portion 24 can abut against the engaging member 34 to restrict the fixing portion 24 from being separated from the upper opening portion 321 , that is, to restrict the movement of the outer joint 18 relative to the connector mechanism 16 along a first direction D1. To remove the outer connector 18 from the connector mechanism 16, the fixing portion 24 can be pressed to cause a bending deformation with respect to the outer casing 20, so that the fixing portion 24 is separated from the engaging member 34, and at this time, the fixing portion 24 can pass through the opening structure 32. Without structural interference, the outer connector 18 can be withdrawn from the connector mechanism 16 for separation.
然而，外部接頭18之固定部24容易因過度使用或施力過量而斷裂，因此本創作另將限位件36設置在包覆件28上臨接開口結構32之位置。當外部接頭18***包覆件28時，外部接頭18之前端止抵包覆件28之內壁面281，限位件36則活動地抵靠在橋接部22相對內壁面281的外緣。換言之，限位件36與包覆件28分別活動地位於外部接頭18的兩相對端面以產生限位夾持，故可達到固定外部接頭18之功能，有效限制外部接頭18沿著第一方向D1相對連接器機構16之移動。請參閱 第4圖，第4圖為本創作實施例之連接器機構16與外部接頭18之側視圖。詳細來說，限位件36的初始位置係會與跟外部接頭18之橋接部22產生結構干涉，但在外部接頭18逐漸進入包覆件28時，限位件36可被施壓而彈性變形解除結構干涉。直到外部接頭18完全進入包覆件28後，限位件36為其彈性恢復力驅動嵌合於外殼20、橋接部22與固定部24之間的空隙，意即抵靠在橋接部22上，以利用結構干涉避免外部接頭18脫離於連接器機構16。However, the fixing portion 24 of the outer joint 18 is easily broken due to excessive use or excessive force application. Therefore, the limit member 36 is disposed on the covering member 28 at a position adjacent to the opening structure 32. When the outer joint 18 is inserted into the cover member 28, the front end of the outer joint 18 abuts against the inner wall surface 281 of the cover member 28, and the stopper member 36 is movably abutted against the outer edge of the bridge portion 22 with respect to the inner wall surface 281. In other words, the limiting member 36 and the covering member 28 are respectively movably located at opposite end faces of the outer joint 18 to generate the limit clamping, so that the function of fixing the external joint 18 can be achieved, and the external joint 18 is effectively restricted along the first direction D1. Movement relative to the connector mechanism 16. See Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is a side view of the connector mechanism 16 and the outer joint 18 of the present embodiment. In detail, the initial position of the limiting member 36 may cause structural interference with the bridging portion 22 of the outer joint 18, but when the outer joint 18 gradually enters the covering member 28, the limiting member 36 may be pressed and elastically deformed. Undo structural interference. After the outer joint 18 completely enters the covering member 28, the limiting member 36 drives the gap between the outer casing 20, the bridge portion 22 and the fixing portion 24 with its elastic restoring force, that is, abuts against the bridge portion 22, To avoid the outer joint 18 from being detached from the connector mechanism 16 by utilizing structural interference.
請參閱第5圖至第7圖，第5圖至第7圖分別為本創作實施例之連接器機構16與外部接頭18於不同結合階段之示意圖。限位件36可為一彈性元件。彈性元件包含一彈性臂38以及一斜導部40，彈性臂38之兩端分別連接斜導部40與包覆件28。斜導部40具有一第一斜面結構42以及一第二斜面結構44，且第一斜面結構42連接第二斜面結構44。如第5圖所示，外部接頭18剛進入連接器機構16，兩限位件36之間距D實質小於橋接部22之寬度W，橋接部22之前端止抵於各限位件36之第一斜面結構42。Please refer to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 . FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 are schematic diagrams showing the connector mechanism 16 and the external connector 18 of the present embodiment in different combinations. The limiting member 36 can be a resilient member. The elastic member includes a resilient arm 38 and a slanted guiding portion 40. The two ends of the elastic arm 38 respectively connect the inclined guiding portion 40 and the covering member 28. The inclined guide 40 has a first inclined structure 42 and a second inclined structure 44, and the first inclined structure 42 connects the second inclined structure 44. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer joint 18 just enters the connector mechanism 16, the distance D between the two limiting members 36 is substantially smaller than the width W of the bridge portion 22, and the front end of the bridge portion 22 stops against the first of the limiting members 36. Bevel structure 42.
接著，如第6圖所示，使用者施力將外部接頭18推入連接器機構16，橋接部22可接觸第一斜面結構42並相對滑行，進而驅動彈性臂38產生彈性彎曲以解除限位件36對橋接部22之結構干涉。最後，如第7圖所示，外部接頭18完全***連接器機構16，橋接部22已離開限位件36，因此彈性臂38利用彈性恢復力將斜導部40回復到如第4圖所示的初始位置，使得斜導部40抵靠在橋接部22之後端，限位件36與包覆件28卡住橋接部22的前後兩端以達到限位之目的。Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the user applies force to push the outer joint 18 into the connector mechanism 16, and the bridge portion 22 can contact the first inclined surface structure 42 and slide relative to each other, thereby driving the elastic arm 38 to elastically bend to release the limit. The member 36 interferes with the structure of the bridge portion 22. Finally, as shown in Fig. 7, the outer joint 18 is fully inserted into the connector mechanism 16, and the bridge portion 22 has left the stopper 36, so that the elastic arm 38 returns the oblique guide 40 to the position shown in Fig. 4 by the elastic restoring force. The initial position is such that the inclined guide 40 abuts against the rear end of the bridge portion 22, and the limiting member 36 and the covering member 28 catch the front and rear ends of the bridge portion 22 to achieve the purpose of limiting.

Interference, as shown in Figures 7 through 6. Next, when the outer joint 18 is completely separated from the connector mechanism 16, the elastic arm 38 can return the oblique guide 40 to the initial position by its elastic restoring force, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 4. Wherein, one of the elastic arms 38 of this embodiment has a structure pointing D2 substantially parallel to the direction in which the outer joint 18 is inserted into the connector mechanism 16, and the moving direction is opposite to the first direction D1. In addition, the present invention can also design the limiting member 36 as a configuration in which the structure of the elastic arm points to the direction in which the D2 substantially vertical outer joint 18 is inserted into the direction of movement of the connector mechanism 16, or any other angle at which the structure points and the moving direction intersect. All belong to the design category of this creation. Please refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a limit member 36 having a different structure pointing D2 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The limit members which can have the elastic recovery and the limit fixing function of the foregoing embodiments belong to the design scope of the present invention, and therefore will not be described one by one.
請參閱第9圖與第10圖，第9圖為本創作另一實施例之限位件36’之示意圖，第10圖為本創作另一實施例之外部接頭18與連接器機構16之結合示意圖。限位件36’可為一突起結構，由具有壓縮變形特質的材料所組成，例如塑膠材質或橡膠材質。限位件36’可選擇以雙料射出成型技術設置於包覆件28；或是限位件36’與包覆件28為兩獨立元件，並以黏貼、卡扣等方式接合。Please refer to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 . FIG. 9 is a schematic view of a limiting member 36 ′ according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a combination of the external connector 18 and the connector mechanism 16 according to another embodiment of the present invention. schematic diagram. The limiting member 36' may be a protruding structure composed of a material having a compressive deformation property such as a plastic material or a rubber material. The limiting member 36' can be selectively disposed on the covering member 28 by a double injection molding technique; or the limiting member 36' and the covering member 28 are two independent members and are joined by adhesion, snapping or the like.
突起結構之一高度H可實質大於外部接頭18與包覆件28之一接合間隙G，因此在外部接頭18逐漸***連接器機構16時，橋接部22會壓縮突起結構使其呈扁平狀，當外部接頭18完全進入連接器機構16後，外殼20、橋接部22與固定部24之間的空隙對齊於突起結構，突起結構不再為橋接部22 壓縮而回復到初始高度，使得突起結構可抵靠在橋接部22，意即突起結構與包覆件28之內壁面281分別卡合橋接部22之兩端，可有效防止外部接頭18脫離於連接器機構16。One height H of the protrusion structure may be substantially larger than the engagement gap G of one of the outer joint 18 and the cover member 28, so that when the outer joint 18 is gradually inserted into the connector mechanism 16, the bridge portion 22 compresses the protrusion structure to make it flat. After the outer joint 18 completely enters the connector mechanism 16, the gap between the outer casing 20, the bridge portion 22 and the fixing portion 24 is aligned with the protruding structure, and the protruding structure is no longer the bridge portion 22. Compressed to return to the initial height, so that the protruding structure can abut against the bridge portion 22, that is, the protruding structure and the inner wall surface 281 of the covering member 28 respectively engage the two ends of the bridge portion 22, thereby effectively preventing the outer joint 18 from being disconnected from the connection. Mechanism 16.
綜上所述，本創作之連接器機構係於包覆件與開口結構之間設置限位件，限位件具有可彈性變形或可壓縮變形特性。當外部接頭***連接器機構時，限位件係位於外殼、橋接部與固定部24的空隙，且配合包覆件卡合在外部接頭之橋接部的兩端。如此一來，連接器機構具有卡合件和限位件兩種固定外部接頭的機制。即便外部接頭因使用過度或施力過量造成固定部斷裂而導致卡合件之功能失效，本創作之連接器機構仍可利用限位件相對橋接部之結構干涉進行外部接頭之限位，以提高產品的實用性。相較先前技術，本創作有效改善了習知連接器機構無法適用於固定部損壞之外部接頭的缺點，故可提高本產品的使用便利性及增加市場競爭力。In summary, the connector mechanism of the present invention is provided with a limiting member between the covering member and the opening structure, and the limiting member has elastic deformation or compressive deformation characteristics. When the external connector is inserted into the connector mechanism, the limiting member is located in the gap between the outer casing, the bridge portion and the fixing portion 24, and the engaging cover member is engaged at both ends of the bridge portion of the outer joint. In this way, the connector mechanism has a mechanism for engaging the external joint with the engaging member and the limiting member. Even if the external joint is broken due to excessive use or excessive force, the function of the engaging member is broken. The connector mechanism of the present invention can still use the structural interference of the limiting member with respect to the bridge portion to limit the external joint to improve the limit. The practicality of the product. Compared with the prior art, the present invention effectively improves the shortcomings of the conventional connector mechanism that cannot be applied to the external joint damaged by the fixed portion, thereby improving the usability of the product and increasing market competitiveness.
