Detailed Description

While the following is a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and in the claims, and in the drawings, are used for distinguishing between different objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, an embodiment of the invention provides an elastic connecting element 10, where the elastic connecting element 10 includes an elastic body 200 and an elastic conductive element 100 located in the elastic body 200. The elastic body 200 has elastic extensibility, so that the elastic connecting element 10 has deformation extensibility. The elastic conductive member 100 includes a first conductive member 110, a second conductive member 120, and a third conductive member 130 electrically connected between the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, and a plane in which the second conductive member 120 and the third conductive member 130 are located has a preset angle α with the first conductive member 110, where the preset angle α is between 0 ° and 180 ° (as shown in fig. 3), that is, the preset angle α is not equal to 0 ° or 180 °. That is, the elastic conductive member 100 has a three-dimensional structure, not a two-dimensional plane. Wherein the elastic conductive member 100 has a deformation extension capability when stretched, the elastic conductive member 100 having a three-dimensional structure has a larger deformation extension capability than a two-dimensional structure in the present application, which is exemplified below.

Referring to fig. 4, the connecting member is a two-dimensional structure, and is formed by sequentially connecting a first conductive member 110 and a second conductive member 120, and the routing length of the connecting member is only the length of the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, and when the connecting member is stretched, the maximum stretching length is the sum of the lengths of the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120.

Referring to fig. 3 again, the elastic conductive member 100 in fig. 3 includes a plurality of first conductive members 110, a plurality of second conductive members 120, and a plurality of third conductive members 130, where the third conductive members 130 connect the first conductive members 110 and the second conductive members 120, for comparison, a plane where the third conductive members 130 and the second conductive members 120 are located is a plane formed by a third direction Z and a second direction Y, the first conductive members 110 are disposed along the first direction X, in this embodiment, the third conductive members 130 are perpendicular to the first conductive members 110 and the second conductive members 120, and due to the third conductive members 130 disposed along the third direction Z, the routing length of the elastic conductive member 100 itself is increased. Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of the elastic conductive member 100 gradually stretching is shown, wherein the uppermost diagram in fig. 5 is an original diagram, and the lowermost diagram is a diagram after stretching, and when the stretching length of the elastic conductive member 100 after stretching to the maximum extent is the sum of the lengths of the first conductive member 110, the second conductive member 120 and the third conductive member 130, the stretching elongation is longer than that when the elastic conductive member 100 with the two-dimensional structure is stretched.

It should be noted that fig. 3 is only one embodiment of the present invention, and is used to illustrate the beneficial effects of the present invention. In the present invention, as long as a preset angle α is formed between the plane where the second conductive member 120 and the third conductive member 130 are located and the first conductive member 110, and the preset angle α is between 0 ° and 180 °, the elastic conductive member 100 has a three-dimensional structure, and the elongation of the elastic conductive member 100 can be increased.

Referring to fig. 5 again, in a further embodiment, when the extending direction a of the elastic connecting member 10 is parallel to the horizontal plane O, the included angle β between the third conductive member 130 and the horizontal plane O decreases when the elastic connecting member 10 is stretched. The value of the angle beta in the uppermost graph as in fig. 5 is larger than the value of the angle beta in the lowermost graph as in fig. 5. That is, when the elastic connection member 10 is placed on the horizontal plane O, the more the elastic connection member 10 is stretched, the closer the third conductive member 130 is to the horizontal plane, and it is assumed that when the elastic connection member 10 is stretched until the third conductive member 130 is parallel to the horizontal plane O, the stretched length of the elastic connection member 10 is at least increased by the length of the third conductive member 130, and if the third conductive member 130 is not provided, the stretched length is not provided, which further illustrates that the arrangement of the present invention is better than the stretched elongation of the elastic member with a two-dimensional structure.

It should be noted that, depending on the application place of the elastic connecting member 10, the extending direction of the elastic connecting member 10 may have an angle with the horizontal plane, for example, when the extending direction a of the elastic connecting member 10 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane O, the angle β between the third conductive member 130 and the vertical plane decreases when the elastic connecting member 10 is stretched.

Referring again to fig. 1, in a further embodiment, the elastic body 200 encapsulates the elastic conductive member 100. To protect the elastic conductive member 100, the elastic body 200 protects the elastic conductive member 100 from being damaged by being pressed when the elastic connecting member 10 is in contact with other devices.

In a further embodiment, a third conductive member 130 is connected to adjacent ends of the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120. In this embodiment, the first conductive members 110 and the second conductive members 120 are sequentially arranged in a staggered manner, and the third conductive member 130 connects adjacent ends of the first conductive members 110 and the second conductive members 120. For a plurality of conductive elements 101, two adjacent conductive elements 101 are connected by a third conductive member 130, as shown in fig. 1, the third conductive member 1301 connects the second end 112 of the first conductive member 110 in the conductive element 101 and the first end 121 of the second conductive member 120a in the conductive element 101a, wherein the first end 121 of the second conductive member 120a faces one end of the elastic conductive member 100, and the second end 112 of the first conductive member 110 faces the other end of the elastic conductive member 100 compared with the first end 121 of the second conductive member 120 a.

In a further embodiment, the third conductive member 130 is perpendicularly connected to the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, respectively, when the elastic connection member 10 is not stretched. In other embodiments, the included angle between the third conductive member 130 and the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 may also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle.

In a further embodiment, the first and second conductive members 110 and 120 are sheet-shaped, and the third conductive member 130 is cylindrical. In other embodiments, the shapes of the first conductive member 110, the second conductive member 120, and the third conductive member 130 may also be other shapes, including but not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a triangular pyramid shape, an elliptical cylinder shape, or a shape having a combination of various patterns.

The elastic base 300 may be integrally formed with the elastic body 200 or may be separately formed.

In a further embodiment, the elastic body 200 includes a first surface 210, and the first conductive member 110 is disposed closer to the first surface 210 of the elastic body 200 than the second conductive member 120; the elastic body 200 further includes a flexible layer 220, and the flexible layer 220 is disposed on a surface of the first conductive member 110 adjacent to the first surface 210. The flexible layer 220 provides support and protection for the first electrically conductive member 110. In other embodiments, the flexible layer 220 may not be provided.

Referring to fig. 6, an embodiment of the invention further provides an elastic electronic device 20, where the elastic electronic device 20 includes the elastic connecting element 10 as described above.

In a further embodiment, the elastic electronic device 20 further includes an electronic component 30, and the electronic component 30 is disposed in the elastic body 200 and electrically connected to the elastic conductive member 100.
