Abstract

Provided is a connection structure between electronic modules, each having a plurality of terminals and a plurality of electrodes, and more particularly, an electrical connection system between electrical modules in which terminals and electrodes included in electronic modules are easily connected in an electrical manner.

In an electrical connection system between a fixed module and a moving module, the fixed module comprises a cradle surface on which a concave-convex surface comprising a plurality of convex surfaces and a plurality of concave surfaces is repetitively arranged, in which a commonly connected first-pole terminal is formed on the plurality of convex surfaces and a commonly connected second-pole terminal is formed on the plurality of concave surfaces, the moving module comprises a contact surface corresponding to the cradle surface of the fixed module, the contact surface comprising a planar portion and at least one protruding portion protruding from the planar portion, a first load electrode, which is a conductive member connected to a first pole of a moving module load included in the moving module, is formed on at least a part of a surface of the planar portion, and a second load electrode, which is a conductive member connected to a second pole of the moving module load, is formed in an end portion of the protruding portion, the first load electrode and the second load electrode being insulated from each other, the end portion of the protruding portion is received in any one of the plurality of concave surfaces of the fixed module such that the second load electrode is connected to the second-pole terminal of the fixed module, and the first load electrode is connected to the first-pole terminal of the fixed module.

Claims

1. An electrical connection system between a fixed module and a moving module, characterized in that;

the fixed module comprises a cradle surface on which a concave-convex surface comprising a plurality of convex surfaces and a plurality of concave surfaces is repetitively arranged, in which a commonly connected first-pole terminal is formed on the plurality of convex surfaces and a commonly connected second-pole terminal is formed on the plurality of concave surfaces,

the moving module comprises a contact surface corresponding to the cradle surface of the fixed module, the contact surface comprising a planar portion and at least one protruding portion protruding from the planar portion,

a first load electrode, which is a conductive member connected to a first pole of a moving module load included in the moving module, is formed on at least a part of a surface of the planar portion, and a second load electrode, which is a conductive member connected to a second pole of the moving module load, is formed in an end portion of the protruding portion, the first load electrode and the second load electrode being insulated from each other,

the end portion of the protruding portion is received in any one of the plurality of concave surfaces of the fixed module such that the second load electrode is connected to the second-pole terminal of the fixed module, and

the first load electrode is connected to the first-pole terminal of the fixed module.

2. The electrical connection system of claim 1, further comprising a transverse movement unit for moving the protruding portion in a direction parallel to the contact surface.
