[0052] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] Ginseng Figure 1As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a flexible circuit board hot pressing precision alignment jig, the device includes a substrate 5 and a first circuit board positioning structure 1 connected to the substrate 5, for receiving and positioning the first circuit board; a second circuit board adjustment structure 2, for receiving and adjusting the position of the second circuit board so that the second circuit board is aligned with the first circuit board along a first direction; and a flexible circuit board adjustment structure 3, including a base 12 and a bracket 21 rotatably connected to the base 12, the bracket 21 is provided with a suction cup 22 for placing the flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board adjustment structure 3 also includes a control valve 4 for controlling whether the suction cup 22 is in a vacuum state, the bracket 21 is operably rotated between a first position and a second position, in the first position, the suction cup 22 adsorbs the flexible circuit board under the action of the control valve 4; in the second position, the suction cup 22 is located above the first circuit board positioning structure 1 and the second circuit board adjustment structure 2, and the suction cup 22 releases the flexible circuit board under the action of the control valve 4 so that the flexible circuit board is accurately aligned with the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

[0054] Specifically, an anisotropic conductive film is pre-arranged on the first and second circuit boards, and conductive pins are arranged on the relative planes of the first and second circuit boards and the flexible circuit board. After the flexible circuit board and the first and second circuit boards are accurately aligned by the above-mentioned flexible circuit board hot pressing precision alignment jig, the conductive particles in the anisotropic conductive film in the first and second circuit boards are crushed by hot pressing technology to achieve the purpose of conduction. Compared with the traditional circuit board connection method, this method greatly reduces the thickness of the circuit board, which is conducive to the development of electronic products in a thinner and lighter direction. In addition, the circuit board conducted by hot pressing technology, because the flexible circuit board and the first and second circuit boards are more tightly combined in the thickness direction, it also overcomes the problem of poor contact caused by loosening of the connection terminals between the flexible circuit board and the first and second circuit boards due to accidents such as vibration and falling.

[0055] In this embodiment, the flexible circuit board hot pressing precision alignment jig includes a substrate 5 and a first circuit board positioning structure 1, a second circuit board adjustment structure 2 and a flexible circuit board adjustment structure 3 arranged on the substrate 5. The three basic structures can be detachably connected to the substrate 5.

[0056] Furthermore, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the base 12 is arranged parallel to the first direction, and the bracket 21 can rotate around the central axis of the base 12. Define the left and right direction on the paper as the first direction, the base 12 is extended in a direction parallel to the first direction, has a central axis (not shown), and the bracket 21 rotates around the central axis as the rotation axis. Specifically, the bracket 21 includes a rotating sleeve 23 and a rotating arm arranged perpendicular to the rotating sleeve 23. The rotating sleeve 23 is a hollow part. The rotating sleeve 23 is fixed to the base 12 by an optical axis fastener 25 passing through it, and can rotate relative to the fastener 25, so that the bracket 21 rotates around the central axis of the base 12. In this embodiment, the bracket 21 can be rotated 180° around the central axis of the base 12, so that the bracket 21 is placed and adsorbed on the flexible circuit board at a first position parallel to the plane where the substrate 5 is located, so that the plane with preset pins faces upward; when the bracket 21 is rotated to the second position, the plane with preset pins of the flexible circuit board faces downward, and the suction cup 22 can release the flexible circuit board under the action of the control valve 4, so that the flexible circuit board just covers the pins corresponding to the first and second circuit boards, which is convenient for the pins on the flexible circuit board to be electrically connected with the pins corresponding to the first and second circuit boards through hot pressing technology.

[0057] Preferably, an operating arm 26 is provided at one end of the rotating arm away from the rotating sleeve 23 for easy holding, and the operating arm 26 extends in a direction parallel to the first direction.

[0058] In the flexible circuit board hot pressing precision alignment jig of the present invention, in order to ensure the connection effect between the flexible circuit board and the first and second circuit boards, it is necessary to control the alignment accuracy between the first circuit board and the second circuit board, as well as the alignment accuracy between the flexible circuit board and the first and second circuit boards. In order to achieve the above purpose, the flexible circuit board hot pressing precision alignment jig includes a plurality of position adjustment structures to achieve that the flexible circuit board can be adjusted in both the X direction and the Y direction on a plane parallel to the plane where the substrate 5 is located. The positioning or position adjustable structure of the flexible circuit board hot pressing precision alignment jig is described in detail below.

[0059] See also Figure 2 As shown, the first circuit board positioning structure 1 includes a first support block 9 connected to the substrate 5, the first support block 9 provides a support surface for accommodating the first circuit board, and the first support block 9 includes at least a positioning column 8 protruding from the support surface, and the positioning column 8 is arranged at the center of the support surface. The arrangement of the positioning column 8 facilitates the placement of the first circuit board. In this way, the first circuit board positioning structure 1 provides a circuit board support surface as a reference, so that the first circuit board placed thereon is used as a reference, and the second circuit board and the flexible circuit board need to make adaptive adjustments with reference to the position of the first circuit board.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first support block 9 is further provided with a positioning pin 7, and the positioning pin 7 is arranged between the center and the outer edge of the support surface. The positioning pin 7 and the positioning column 8 cooperate to play a role of precise positioning, so that the first circuit board is placed on the support surface as required and is limited.

[0061] Preferably, the first support block 9 is also connected to two external positioning blocks 6, which are arranged at the outer edge of the support surface, and the connecting line of the two external positioning blocks 6 does not pass through the center of the support surface, and the external positioning blocks 6 have the initial positioning and foolproofing functions. In this embodiment, the two external positioning blocks 6 are provided with L-shaped bosses at positions close to the outer edge of the support surface, and the two second support blocks 27 clamp the first circuit board from opposite directions. The external positioning blocks 6 are connected to the first support block 9 in a detachable manner.

[0062] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the second circuit board adjustment structure 2 includes a second support block 27 connected to the base plate 5, the second support block 27 is provided with a positioning surface for placing the second circuit board and a convex pin 17 extending in a direction perpendicular to the positioning surface, the second support block 27 also includes a stopper 28 provided on one side of the positioning surface along the first direction, and a boss 18 provided on both sides of the positioning surface along the second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The second support block 27 forms a positioning surface for supporting the second circuit board, and the convex pin 17 and boss 18 thereon are used to limit the second circuit board from the first direction and the second direction to prevent the second circuit board from shifting on the positioning surface.

[0063] The second support block 27 is slidably connected to the base plate 5 along the second direction, and the second circuit board adjustment structure 2 further includes a second screw micrometer 15 provided on one side of the second support block 27 along the second direction, and the second screw micrometer 15 is operable to rotate to push the second support block 27. Specifically, a slide rail 19 is provided on the bottom surface of the second support block 27, and a slideway matching the slide rail 19 is provided on the base plate 5. The second support block 27 can reciprocate along the second direction through the cooperation of the slide rail and the slideway, so as to facilitate the alignment of the second circuit board relative to the first circuit board along the second direction. Of course, the positions of the slide rail and the slideway can be swapped.

[0064] The alignment of the second circuit board relative to the first circuit board along the second direction is achieved by the second micrometer screw 15, which includes a second fixed block 29 fixed to the substrate 5 and a second adjustment rod 30 passing through the second fixed block 29, the first end of the second adjustment rod 30 presses against the second support block 27, and the second end of the second adjustment rod 30 is operably rotated so that the first end of the second adjustment rod 30 pushes the second support block 27. Preferably, the first end of the second adjustment rod 30 is arranged relative to the boss 18 on the second support block 27 to increase the contact area.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the second circuit board adjustment structure 2 further includes an elastic retainer 16, one end of which is connected to the second support block 27, and the other end is connected to the second fixed block 29. Specifically, the second support block 27 and the second fixed block 29 are respectively provided with support columns, and the two ends of the elastic retainer 16 are arranged in a ring shape that can be sleeved on the pillar. The elastic retainer 16 can be a compression spring or a tension spring. The elastic restoring force of the elastic retainer 16 makes it easier for the second support plate to maintain its position, so that the second support plate can not only move in the direction away from the second fixed block 29 along the second direction, but also drive the second support block 27 to move in the direction close to the second fixed block 29 when the second micrometer 15 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the positive and negative movement of the second circuit board along the second direction, which is conducive to fine adjustment in comparison with the position of the first circuit board.

[0066] The second support block 27 can not only reciprocate along the second direction, but also reciprocate along the first direction: the second circuit board adjustment structure 2 also includes a threaded member 20 arranged along the first direction, and the threaded member 20 is arranged between the second support block 27 and the substrate 5. Specifically, the threaded member 20 can be a screw or a bolt, and the threaded member 20 includes a head and a rod. The second support block 27 is provided with a threaded hole for receiving the rod. The rod passes through the threaded hole and presses against the substrate 5. By rotating the head of the threaded member 20, the distance between the second support block 27 and the substrate 5 can be changed, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the second circuit board along the first direction. It is worth mentioning that in the aforementioned setting of the slideway and the slide rail, the slideway and the slide rail have a margin along the first direction. Of course, the threaded member 20 can be arranged in the matching structure of the slideway.

[0067] As described above, after the position of the first circuit board is determined, the second circuit board is loaded, and the position of the second circuit board is calibrated based on the position of the first circuit board. This can be achieved by the rotation of the second micrometer 15 driving the second support block 27 to move back and forth in the second direction, or by the rotation of the threaded member 20 driving the second support block 27 to move back and forth in the first direction, or both.

[0068] After the first circuit board is positioned and the second circuit board is aligned, the flexible circuit board needs to be positioned and adsorbed, and the flexible circuit board needs to be moved from the first position to the second position. Before the flexible circuit board is released above the first and second circuit boards, the flexible circuit board also needs to complete a fine alignment process, and its position adjustment structure and adjustment process are described in detail as follows.

[0069] See also Figure 5 As shown, the base 12 is slidably connected to the substrate 5, and the flexible circuit board adjustment structure 3 also includes a first screw micrometer 11 linked to the base 12, and the first screw micrometer 11 can be operably rotated to adjust the position of the base 12 along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Specifically, a matching structure of a slideway and a slide rail 13 is provided between the base 12 and the substrate 5, and the slideway and the slide rail 13 move in a direction parallel to the second direction. Of course, the positions of the slide rail and the slideway can be interchanged.

[0070] The first micrometer screw 11 includes a first fixing block 31 fixed to the substrate 5 and a first adjusting rod 14 passing through the first fixing block 31, wherein the first end of the first adjusting rod 14 presses against the base 12, and the second end of the first adjusting rod 14 can be operably rotated so that the first end of the first adjusting rod 14 pushes the base 12. Through the arrangement of the first micrometer screw 11, the base 12 can drive the bracket 21 to perform fine adjustment in the reciprocating direction along the second direction, so that the pins on the flexible circuit board are accurately aligned with the corresponding pins on the first and second circuit boards.

[0071] In addition, the flexible circuit board adjustment structure 3 further includes limit blocks 10 disposed on both sides of the bracket 21. In the first position of the bracket 21, the two limit blocks 10 define the two side edges of the suction cup 22. In other words, a groove capable of accommodating the bracket 21 is formed between the two limit blocks 10. When the bracket 21 is in the first position, the two sides of the suction cup 22 form stepped surfaces with the two limit blocks 10, so that the two side edges of the flexible circuit board placed on the suction cup 22 are limited along the first direction.

[0072] In this way, after the first circuit board is positioned and the second circuit board is aligned, the flexible circuit board is placed on the suction cup 22 of the bracket 21 in the first position, and the control valve 4 is operated to make the suction cup 22 in a vacuum state and adsorb the flexible circuit board. Then, the bracket 21 is operated to rotate it around the central axis of the base 12 to the second position, and then the position of the flexible circuit board is accurately adjusted by the first micrometer 11 so that its two ends with pins are aligned with the pins of the first circuit board and the second circuit board respectively. Finally, the control valve 4 is operated to make the suction cup 22 release the flexible circuit board, and the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board and the first and second circuit boards is completed by hot pressing technology.

[0073] In summary, this embodiment also provides a method for connecting a flexible circuit board, which includes the following steps:

[0074] positioning the first circuit board;

[0075] Positioning and adjusting the second circuit board so that the second circuit board is aligned with the first circuit board along the first direction;

[0076] When the bracket 21 is in the first position, the flexible circuit board is placed, and the control valve 4 is operated to make the suction cup 22 absorb the flexible circuit board;

[0077] Moving the bracket 21 from the first position to the second position;

[0078] Adjusting the position of the base 12 so that the flexible circuit board is aligned with the first circuit board and the second circuit board along a first direction;

[0079] Operating the control valve 4 to allow the suction cup 22 to release the flexible circuit board;

[0080] The flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the first circuit board and the second circuit board by using a hot pressing technology.
