Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic product assembly, and in particular relates to an assembly method of a small navigation device. Background Art
[0002] Small navigation devices primarily consist of a circuit board and a housing. More complex small navigation devices can include multiple modules, which are assembled to achieve complete product functionality. During module assembly, two connections must be ensured: the housing connection and the circuit signal connection.
[0003] One existing technology involves assembling the circuitry and housings of the two compartments separately, then using cables to connect the circuitry and signals between the compartments, and finally connecting the housings of the two compartments. The cables connect the circuitry of the two compartments using connectors or welding. However, the cables take up additional space. The disadvantage of this method is that it wastes space.
[0004] Another existing technique involves assembling the circuitry of the two compartments separately from the outer shell, with the compartments directly connected via connectors. This method requires both the outer shells and connectors of the two compartments to be aligned, requiring very high machining precision. Insufficient machining precision can lead to misalignment between the connectors and the outer shell, or vice versa, ultimately causing structural interference and assembly failure. A disadvantage of this method is the potential for structural interference, preventing assembly.
[0005] Existing methods have the disadvantage of wasting space or having the hidden danger of structural interference. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The steps of this embodiment are as follows Figure 1 As shown, components are prepared, including a first compartment housing 101, a first compartment circuit board 102, a second compartment housing 201, and a second compartment circuit board 202. The first compartment circuit board 102 is soldered with a first connector 103. The second compartment circuit board 202 is soldered with a second connector 203. The first compartment circuit board 102 contains a processor, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer.
[0049] Step 2 Figure 2 As shown, the second compartment circuit 202 is placed in the second compartment housing 201.

Connector 103 is plugged into the second connector 203, and the first compartment shell 101 is connected to the second compartment shell 201. Vulcanized silicone rubber 105 has two functions: first, it allows for assembly before curing to prevent structural interference; second, it blocks gaps to prevent overflow of the potting compound in subsequent steps.
