Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fireproof box technology, and more particularly to a highly protective chip fireproof box. Background Technology

[0002] In devices that require recording (such as dashcams and action cameras), the memory chips themselves need special protection to ensure the data is stored. This protection includes fire resistance, water resistance, and resistance to deformation from pressure. The traditional method involves placing the memory chip in a protective box and sealing it with potting compound. A flexible circuit board is used to connect the chip to external circuitry. While this method provides water resistance, it doesn't offer good fire protection and has poor heat dissipation. Furthermore, when subjected to pressure, the force can directly impact the memory chip, potentially damaging it and affecting data retrieval.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a highly protective fireproof box for chips, which can achieve the effects of fireproofing, waterproofing and preventing extrusion deformation of memory chips.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A high-protection chip fireproof box is provided, comprising: an encapsulation shell, a core box disposed within the encapsulation shell, a fireproof cotton layer disposed between the core box and the encapsulation shell, a chip protection box disposed within the core box, a chip installed within the chip protection box, and a flexible circuit board electrically connected to the chip; the flexible circuit board extends to the outside of the encapsulation shell after passing through the chip protection box, the core box, the fireproof cotton layer, and the encapsulation shell. The encapsulation shell provides space for the fireproof box and can be easily deformed under pressure. The fireproof cotton layer is used for fire protection. The core box provides space for the chip protection box to be installed. Simultaneously, phase change material is injected into the core box to achieve heat dissipation for the chip protection box and maintain the chip's operating performance. The chip protection box is used to store the chip, and the flexible circuit board is used to enable communication between the chip and external circuits.

[0006] Furthermore, the chip is soldered onto the flexible circuit board, which has two sets of gold fingers. One set of gold fingers is located inside the chip protective box, and the other set is located outside the package. By using two sets of gold fingers, even if the gold fingers on the outside of the package are damaged, the gold fingers inside the chip protective box can still be used to read the chip's data, facilitating application.

[0007] Furthermore, the high-protection chip fireproof box also includes a reinforcing plate attached to the flexible circuit board, the reinforcing plate being disposed on the other side of the flexible circuit board where the chip and two sets of gold fingers are located. The reinforcing plate is used to strengthen the strength of certain areas, facilitating production and use.

[0008] Furthermore, the highly protective chip fireproof box also includes a thermally conductive silicone layer adhered inside the chip protection box. The thermally conductive silicone layer is disposed on the front side of the chip and the back side of the flexible circuit board area where the chip is attached. The thermally conductive silicone layer is used to quickly conduct the heat generated by the chip to the chip protection box.

[0009] Furthermore, the chip protection box includes: a cavity upper cover, a cavity lower cover that mates with the cavity upper cover, and a sealing assembly sandwiched between the cavity upper cover and the cavity lower cover; the sealing assembly includes: a sealing upper cover, a sealing lower cover that mates with the sealing upper cover, and a sealing ring connected to the sealing lower cover; the chip is disposed within the sealing ring, and the sealing upper cover and the sealing lower cover clamp the flexible circuit board; the cavity upper cover and the cavity lower cover are connected by snap-fit ​​and / or riveting. The sealing assembly, together with the cavity upper cover and the cavity lower cover, forms a sealed space for placing the chip, thereby achieving waterproofing of the chip.

The cooperation of the positioning inserts and the positioning groove enables the upper cavity cover and the lower cavity cover to be quickly and accurately positioned. The cooperation of the buckle with the upper cavity cover enables the upper cavity cover to be initially fixed, while preventing the sealing component from shifting, thus playing a role in fixing and limiting the sealing component. This facilitates subsequent riveting and rolling of the rolled-edge vertical plates, thereby firmly securing the upper cavity cover and connecting the upper cavity cover and the lower cavity cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower sealing cover is provided with several positioning posts, and the upper sealing cover is provided with several positioning holes, which cooperate with the positioning posts; all the positioning posts are arranged in two rows, and the flexible circuit board is disposed between the two rows of positioning posts, which serve to limit the movement of the flexible circuit board; the upper cavity cover is provided with an upper clamping strip, which presses against the upper sealing cover, and the lower cavity cover is provided with a lower clamping strip, which presses against the lower sealing cover. The cooperation between the positioning holes and the positioning posts allows the upper and lower sealing covers to be accurately aligned.

[0012] Further, the core box includes: an outer box with an opening, a middle box with an inlet, and a cover plate connected to the middle box; the chip protection box is inserted into the middle box through the inlet, the cover plate covers the opening of the outer box, the cover plate has a first screw hole, the chip protection box includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate has a second screw hole, the first screw hole and the second screw hole mate; the outer box has a first liquid inlet and a vent hole, the middle box has a second liquid inlet, the first liquid inlet and the vent hole are sealed with double-sided copper foil; the surface of the mounting plate is coated with a sealant layer to seal the gap between the cover plate and the mounting plate and to seal the positions of the screws locking the first screw hole and the second screw hole. The middle box is used to install the chip protection box, and the chip protection box can be installed on the middle box by screws passing through the first screw hole and the second screw hole. Phase change material can enter the outer and middle boxes through the first and second liquid inlets. After absorbing heat, the phase change material turns into a gaseous state. Under sufficient pressure, the gaseous phase change material squeezes out the double-conducting copper foil paper and is discharged to the outside of the core box through the first liquid inlet, the vent hole, and the second liquid inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the encapsulation shell includes: an upper encapsulation cover, a lower encapsulation cover connected to the upper encapsulation cover, the lower encapsulation cover having a plate hole through which the flexible circuit board passes.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper surface of the encapsulation cover is provided with two locking grooves; the lower encapsulation cover includes: a base plate, two supporting uprights and two locking uprights respectively connected to the base plate, and a locking rolled edge connected to the locking uprights; the two supporting uprights face each other, the two locking uprights face each other, the encapsulation cover is placed on the supporting uprights, and the locking rolled edge is bent to the locking groove and fastened; the upper ends of the supporting uprights are provided with insertion grooves; the encapsulation cover includes: a cover plate body, and insertion plates respectively connected to the two ends of the cover plate body; the two insertion plates are respectively inserted into the insertion grooves of the two supporting uprights; the two locking grooves are provided on the cover plate body.

The encapsulation shell provides a robust storage space, preventing easy deformation under pressure and thus protecting the internally stored chip. The fireproof cotton layer provides a fireproof effect, preventing external high temperatures from causing thermal damage to the internally stored chip. The chip protection box provides good waterproof performance, preventing water from entering the chip protection box. The core box, in conjunction with phase change material, enables good heat dissipation for the chip inside the chip protection box. This achieves the effects of fireproofing, waterproofing, and preventing deformation under pressure for the storage chip. Attached Figure Description
