TECHNICAL FIELD
BACKGROUND
[0002] The connector is a component that connects two active devices for the transmission of electric current or signals. Connectors are indispensable in electronic devices, and the form and structure of connectors in the prior art vary based on the application object, frequency, and application environment.
[0003] In prior art, after the connection object is inserted into the connector, it cannot simultaneously accommodate cables with adapter plugs on both ends. Additional adapters are required for the connection, leading to inconvenience and increased component costs. Furthermore, there are issues with inconvenient insertion between the connector and the connection object, making it difficult to prepare for docking in one go.
[0004] Finally, the adapter plugs of different types of cables that are inserted into the connector are unified specifications that are compatible with the interface of the connector within the same type. However, there are variations in the specifications and sizes of the cable ends. This results in manufacturers having to produce multiple types of connectors to match different types of existing cables, increasing production costs. Moreover, due to the multitude of cable types, manufacturers cannot cover all cable types with the connectors they produce. Another approach is to produce specific connectors matched with cables, requiring users to dismantle and replace the original cable ends when in use. This increases the production cost of cables and adds to the labor cost for users who need to dismantle and replace the cables, making them inconvenient to use.

[0024] This present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments.
Embodiment 1
[0025] Referring to Figs. 1-8, a connector 1 is provided, which includes a functional base 11 and an adapter module 12. Two ends of the adapter module, as described in Fig. 5, are respectively the adaptation end 121 and the connection plug 122. The adaptation end 121 and the connection plug 122 are compatible interfaces and plugs in the same type. Further, in the embodiment, using the connector for achieving the RJ45 connection as an example, the adaptation end 121 and the connection plug 122 of the adapter module 12 are compatible plug and interface in the RJ45 type. Due to the adapter module 12 provided on the functional base 11, the connector object 2 is able to be inserted by the connector 1, and both of them can simultaneously be inserted by the cable 3 with an adapted plug 301, thereby reducing component costs.
[0026] In this embodiment, the functional base 11 is matched with the adapter module 12 to allow exposure of both the adaptation end 121 and the connection plug 122. This enables the connector 1 to be connected to the connection object 2 via the connection plug 122 and allows the adaptation end 121 to be connected to the cable 3 with adapter plug 301. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1-2, the functional base 11 corresponds to the male connector housing of the RJ45 adapter connector, while the connection plug 122 of the adapter module 12 corresponds to the male plug. The connection object 2 is installed with a female socket 201 and a female connector housing 202, with the female socket 201 installed on the female connector housing 202. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the functional base 11 may correspond to the female connector housing of the RJ45 adapter connector and the adapter module 12 may correspond to the female socket. In this case, the connection object 2 may include male plugs and male connector housings, or both male and female plugs and connector housings, adopting the structure of the functional base 11 and the adapter module 12, and the present disclosure does not limit it. In this embodiment, the adapter module 12 is installed on the functional base 11 to expose both the adaptation end 121 and the connection plug 122, allowing the connector 1 to be connected to the female socket 201 via the connection plug 122. By exposing both the adaptation end 121 and the connection plug 122, the adapter module 12 can accommodate the adapter plugs 301 of different types of cables 3 without being affected by the specifications and dimensions of the cable ends. This embodiment achieves compatibility and connection with different types of cables 3 and avoids the need for cable disassembly or multiple connector types for adaptation, thereby reducing production and labor costs and facilitating user operation.
[0027] In this embodiment, the functional base 11 is further configured to functional configurations related to connector and/or the connection object 2. These functional configurations include at least one of supporting configurations, guiding configurations, shielding configurations, or sealing configurations. Furthermore, the supporting configurations include providing a first outer shell for support, the guiding configurations include setting up guide posts on the functional base 11, the shielding configurations include second outer shells made of metal or plastic and their built-in metal shielding layer, and the sealing configurations include setting up sealing gaskets on the functional base 11. This embodiment does not list all the configurations. By the functional configurations set on the functional base 11, the functional characteristics inherent to the functional base 11 itself are ensured, or the associated connection between the functional base 11 and the connection object 2 is guaranteed. In this embodiment, the functional base 11 includes configurations that can provide functionality related to the connection object 2, as an example. Specifically, the guiding configuration is adopted. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, guide posts 13 are set up on the functional base 11, and guide blocks 14 compatible with the guide posts 13 are set up on the female connector housing 202 to achieve guidance between the female connector housing 202 and the functional base 11, ensuring their accurate docking.
[0028] In this embodiment, the adaptation frame 15 as shown in Fig. 1, is also included in the connector 1. The adaptation frame 15 and the functional base 11 provide auxiliary mounting structure 16 for mutual matching. The functional base 11 provides the through-holes for installing the adaptation frame 15, and the adapter module 12 is provided inside the through-holes through the adaptation frame 15 and is positioned by the auxiliary mounting structures 16, allowing for flexible installation on the functional base 11. In this embodiment, the adapter module 12 is installed onto the functional base 11 through the adaptation frame 15. On one hand, this facilitates the replacement of the adapter module 12. On the other hand, by standardizing the through-holes on the functional base 11 and the adaptation frame 15, it also facilitates the adaptation of the same adapter module 12 to be used in different types of connectors.
[0029] Specifically, referring to Figs. 1-4, the auxiliary mounting structure 16 includes the protrusions 161 on the opposite sides of the adaptation frame 15 and slots 162 provided on the functional base 11. The protrusions 161 are secured onto the slots 162 to achieve the installation of the adaptation frame 15 onto the functional base 11. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the auxiliary mounting structure 16 may be screws or other auxiliary parts, or latch structures to achieve the detachable installation of the adaptation frame 15 onto the functional base 11, and the present disclosure does not limit it. The use of protrusions 161 and slots 162 in this embodiment facilitates the removal and installation of the adaptation frame 15.
[0030] Furthermore, in other embodiments, to simplify the assembly steps, a method of integrally forming the adaptation frame 15 with the functional base 11 may also be adopted, and the present disclosure does not limit it.
[0031] In this embodiment, the connection relationship between the adapter module 12 and the adaptation frame 15 can be described as follows: the adapter module 12 is movably connected to the adaptation frame 15. Specifically, as shown in Figs. 6 to 8, the adaptation frame 15 includes the limiting parts 151. The limiting parts 151 are movably inserted into the adaptation frame 15 and provide clamping channels 1511, which are clamped onto opposite sides of the adapter module 12. By interaction between the adaptation frame 15 and the limiting parts 151, the adapter module 12 is securely fixed in place, allowing it to be movably installed on the adaptation frame 15. Specifically, the adaptation frame 15 is a U-shaped frame with mounting holes 152. On the opposite sides of the mounting holes 152, the adaptation frame provides a U-shaped positioning groove 153, with one or more convex ribs 1531 provided on the inner surfaces of the U-shaped positioning groove 153. The are two limiting parts 151. The two limiting parts 151 respectively provide sliding grooves 1512 for the sliding of the convex ribs 1531 on the positioning grooves 153 on each side. The end face baffles 1513 are provided on one end of the limiting part 151, while hooks 1514 are provided on the other end away from the end face baffle 1513. The end face baffles 1513 limit the position of the adapter module 12. The adaptation frame 15 provides slots 154 in the corresponding position for the hooks 1514 to hook. By the interaction between the hooks 1514 and the slots 154, the limiting parts 151 are inserted into the adaptation frame 15. During the installation, the adapter module 12 is installed in the mounting holes 152 of the adaptation frame 15. The limiting parts 151 are then clamped onto the opposite sides of the adapter module 12 through the clamping channels 1511. Additionally, due to the interaction between the sliding grooves 1512 and the convex ribs 1531, the limiting parts 151 slide along the U-shaped positioning groove 153. When the limiting parts 151 slide until its end face baffle 1513 abuts against the adapter module 12, the hooks 1514 on the limiting parts 151 engage with the slots 154 on the adaptation frame 15, thus securely installing the adapter module 12 into the adaptation frame 15. In this embodiment, the clamping channels 1511 of the limiting parts 151 are clamped onto the upper and lower sides of the adapter module 12, allowing the limiting parts 151 to slide and be inserted into the adaptation frame 15 from the bottom. Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 8 for another implementation, the clamping channels 1511 of the limiting parts 151 can be clamped onto the left and right sides of the adapter module 12, enabling the limiting parts 151 to be slid and inserted into the adaptation frame 15 from the front. There are no restrictions on how the limiting parts 151 are used in this embodiment. The method employed for the limiting parts 151 facilitates the assembly of the adapter module 12 and the adaptation frame 15, requiring no tools and allowing for easy manual operation, thereby reducing assembly steps and costs.
Embodiment 2
[0032] As described in Figs. 9-10, another connector with a similar structure to the connector of Embodiment 1 is provided, and the difference between them is the structure form for the assembly of the adapter module onto the adaptation frame.
[0033] In this embodiment, the adaptation frame 25 is a split structure, consisting of two parts in snap fit with each other. The adapter module 22 is positioned inside the interlocking adaptation frame 25. As shown in Figs. 9-10, the adaptation frame 25 includes a first frame 251 and a second frame 252 arranged vertically and interlocking positioning grooves and convex ribs are respectively formed inside the first frame 251 and the second frame 252. These positioning grooves and convex ribs interlock to assemble the first frame 251 and the second frame 252 securely. After assembly, mounting holes are formed inside the assembled first frame 251 and second frame 252, and adapter module 22 is installed inside the mounting holes. This split structure of the adaptation frame 25 of this embodiment facilitates processing and makes the assembly of the adaptation frame 25 with the adapter module 22 convenient and easy to operate
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the adaptation frame and the adapter module can also be connected using an integral molding method, such as injection molding or 3D printing technology. The present disclosure does not impose any restrictions in this regard. In this embodiment, the integration of the adaptation frame and the adapter module simplifies assembly steps.
Embodiment 3
[0034] As described in Figs. 11-12, another connector with a similar function to the connector of the Embodiment 1 is provided, and the difference between them is the structure of the functional base and the adapter module.
[0035] In this embodiment, the connector includes a functional base 31 and an adapter module 32. Two ends of the adapter module 32 are respectively the adaptation end 321 and the connection plug 322. The adaptation end 321 and the connection plug 322 of the adapter module 32 are compatible interfaces and plugs in the same type. In this embodiment, the adapter module 32 can realize the adaptation of USB or SC interface. Accordingly, the adaptation end 321 and the connection plug 322 of the adapter module 32 correspond to compatible plugs and interfaces in a USB, SC, or similar types. This document does not impose any restrictions in this regard.
[0036] The functional base 31 is matched with the adapter module 32 to allow exposure of both the adaptation end 321 and the connection plug 322. This allows the connector to establish a connection with the connection object through the connection plug 322, and enables the adaptation end 321 to be connected to a cable with an adapted plug.
[0037] In this embodiment, the adapter module 32 includes a core body 323 and a module housing 324 that is adapted to fit and install onto the functional base 31. The adaptation end 321 and the connection plug 322 are respectively provided at the two ends of the core body 323. The functional base 31 includes an outer frame 311, which is equipped with a mounting cavity capable of accommodating the module housing 324, and a first opening and a second opening (not shown in the figures). The first opening and the second opening are provided at respective two ends of the mounting cavity to expose the adapter 321 end and the connection plug 322 respectively. Furthermore, both the adapter module 32 and the functional base 31 have screw holes for locking screws.
[0038] In this embodiment, the functional base 31 also includes functional configurations related to the connector. The functional configurations are supporting configurations. These supporting configurations include providing a first outer shell for support and protection, and the first outer shell is the outer frame of the functional base 31. With this structure, the adapter module 32 can be easily installed onto the functional base 31, and the supporting configurations on the functional base 31 can effectively protect and support the adapter module 32.
Embodiment 4
[0039] As described in Figs. 13-14, another connector with a similar function to the connector of the Embodiment 1 is provided, and their differences lie in the structure of the functional base and the adapter module.
[0040] In this embodiment, the connector includes a functional base 41 and an adapter module 42. Two ends of the adapter module 42 are respectively the adaptation end 421 and the connection plug 422. The adaptation end 421 and the connection plug 422 of the adapter module 42 are compatible interfaces and plugs in the same type. In this embodiment, the adapter module 42 can realize the adaptation of a USB or SC interface. Accordingly, the adaptation end 421 and the connection plug 422 of the adapter module 42 correspond to compatible plugs and interfaces in USB, SC, or similar types. This document does not impose any restrictions in this regard.
[0041] The functional base 41 is matched with the adapter module 42 to allow exposure of both the adaptation end 421 and the connection plug 422. This allows the connector to establish a connection with the connection object through the connection plug 422, and enables the adaptation end 421 to be connected to a cable with an adapted plug.
[0042] In this embodiment, the adapter module 42 includes a core body 323 and a module housing 324 that is adapted to fit and install onto the functional base 31. The adaptation end 321 and the connection plug 322 are respectively provided at the two ends of the core body 323. The functional base 31 includes an outer frame 311, which is equipped with a mounting cavity capable of accommodating the module housing 324, and a first opening and a second opening (not shown in the figures). The first opening and the second opening are provided at respective two ends of the mounting cavity to expose the adapter 321 end and the connection plug 322 respectively. Furthermore, both the adapter module 32 and the functional base 31 have screw holes for locking screws.
[0043] In this embodiment, the functional base 41 is further configured to provide functional configurations related to the connector. These functional configurations include at least one of the supporting configurations, guiding configurations, shielding configurations, or sealing configurations. Furthermore, the supporting configurations include providing a first outer shell for support and protection, the guiding configurations include setting up guide posts on the functional base 11, the shielding configurations include second outer shells made of metal or plastic and their built-in metal shielding layer, and the sealing configurations include setting up sealing gaskets on the functional base. Specifically, the first outer shell is the outer frame 411 of the functional base 41. In this embodiment, the structure described above facilitates the installation of the adapter module 42 onto the functional base 41. Additionally, the supporting configurations on the functional base 41 not only provide effective support and protection for the adapter module 42 but also allow for the additional integration of other functional configurations on the outer frame 411 according to user requirements.
