[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0025] See also Figure 2 The spring piece 3 includes a fixing seat 31, a spring piece 32 and a connecting piece 33. The two ends of the connecting piece 33 are respectively connected to a spring piece 32. The fixing seat 31 is used to fix the spring piece 3 to the circuit board. One end of the spring piece 32 is connected to the fixing seat 31, and the other end of the spring piece 32 is used to contact and connect with the electronic components. The spring piece 3 is used to realize the connection between the electronic components and the circuit board.

[0026] For the above-mentioned fixing base 31, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixing seat 31 includes an arc plate 311, a first plate body 312 and a second plate body 313. The two ends of the arc plate 311 are respectively connected to one end of the first plate body 312 and one end of the second plate body 313. The first plate body 312 and the second plate body 313 are arranged in parallel, and the other end of the second plate body 313 is connected to one end of the elastic piece 32. The arc plate 311 plays a buffering role in the force transmission between the first plate body 312 and the second plate body 313, thereby improving the stability of the fixing seat 31. The first plate body 312 is provided with a through hole 3120, and the through hole 3120 is used to fill solder when the first plate body 312 is welded to the circuit board. Compared with direct welding, the setting of the through hole 3120 forms a more stable welding point, thereby improving the connection strength between the first plate body 312 and the circuit board.

[0027] In some embodiments, the surface of the second board 313 facing away from the first board 312 serves as a suction surface. In the SMT process, the suction surface matches the suction head of the automatic placement machine, so that the spring piece 3 can be accurately positioned, sucked and placed in the correct position.

[0028] In some embodiments, the number of the through holes 3120 is at least two, and the at least two through holes 3120 are evenly distributed on the first plate body 312 .

[0029] It is understandable that the fixing seat 31 is not limited to the above structure, and may also be other structures. For example, the fixing seat 31 only includes the first plate body 312 , and the first plate body 312 is obliquely connected to the first elastic arm 321 .

[0030] For the above-mentioned spring piece 32, please refer to Figure 3 The elastic piece 32 includes a first elastic arm 321, a second elastic arm 322, a contact portion 323 and a support portion 324. One end of the first elastic arm 321 is connected to the fixing seat 31, and the first elastic arm 321 extends along the first direction z. One end of the second elastic arm 322 is connected to the other end of the first elastic arm 321, and one end of the second elastic arm 322 extends along the second direction. One end of the contact portion 323 is connected to the other end of the second elastic arm 322. The contact portion 323 is bent so that the other end of the contact portion 323 faces the first elastic arm 321. One end of the support portion 324 is connected to the other end of the contact portion 323, and the other end of the support portion 324 extends toward the first elastic arm 321. The other end of the support portion 324 is used to abut the first elastic arm 321 when the contact portion 323 is pressed by the electronic component to support the contact portion 323. The first direction z is opposite to the second direction.

[0031] Further, the first elastic arm 321 includes a first force arm 3211 and a second force arm 3212, and the second elastic arm 322 includes a third force arm 3221 and a fourth force arm 3222. One end of the first force arm 3211 is obliquely connected to the second plate 313, the other end of the first force arm 3211 is connected to one end of the second force arm 3212, the other end of the second force arm 3212 is bent and connected to one end of the third force arm 3221, the other end of the third force arm 3221 is obliquely connected to one end of the fourth force arm 3222, the other end of the fourth force arm 3222 is connected to one end of the contact portion 323, the other end of the contact portion 323 faces the second force arm 3212, the other end of the contact portion 323 is connected to one end of the support portion 324, and the support portion 324 is bent away from the other end of the contact portion 323 and provided with a bent portion 3241. When the electronic component presses against the contact portion 323, the contact portion 323 is subjected to force to generate stress, and the stress is dispersed to various parts of the spring piece 32, avoiding stress concentration, and effectively improving the structural stability and durability of the spring piece 3. At the same time, the contact portion 323 drives the supporting portion 324 to move toward the second force arm 3212 until the bending portion 3241 contacts the second force arm 3212. The second force arm 3212 provides a positive elastic force to support the bending portion 3241, further improving the stability of the spring piece 3 structure.

[0032] In some embodiments, the connection between the first lever arm 3211 and the second plate 313 , the connection between the first lever arm 3211 and the second lever arm 3212 , and the connection between the third lever arm 3221 and the fourth lever arm 3222 are all arranged in an arc shape to enhance the elastic performance of the spring piece 3 .

[0033] Please note that Figure 5 In the embodiment of the present application, there are two spring pieces 32, and the two ends of the connecting piece 33 are respectively connected to the second force arm 3212 of one spring piece 32. The provision of two spring pieces 32 increases the contact area, and improves the conduction efficiency between the spring piece and the electronic component compared to a single contact portion. The connecting piece 33 enhances the structural stability of the two spring pieces 32 and reduces the risk of deformation. At the same time, the two spring pieces 32 are relatively independent, ensuring that their respective elastic properties are not affected.

[0034] It is understandable that the elastic piece 32 is not limited to the above structure, and may also be other structures. For example, a single elastic piece 32 includes more elastic arms, or the number of the elastic pieces 32 is three or more, and connecting pieces 33 are provided between the elastic pieces 32.

[0035] It should be noted that the spring piece 3 is made of elastic conductive material.

[0036] In the embodiment of the utility model, the spring piece 3 includes a fixing seat 31 and a spring piece 32. The spring piece 32 includes a first elastic arm 321, a second elastic arm 322, a contact portion 323 and a support portion 324 connected in sequence. The connecting ends of the first elastic arm 321 and the second elastic arm 322 and the contact portion 323 are all bent, and the support portion 324 faces the first elastic arm 321. When the contact portion 323 is subjected to force, the continuously bent structure can effectively disperse the stress. The contact portion 323 drives the support portion 324 to contact the first elastic arm 321. The first elastic arm 321 generates a positive elastic force on the support portion 324, thereby improving the structural stability and durability of the spring piece 3.

[0037] The utility model also provides a circuit board assembly 1000 embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The circuit board assembly 1000 includes a circuit board 2, an electronic component 4 and the above-mentioned spring 3.

The first plate body 312 of the fixing seat 31 is used to be fixed to the circuit board 2, and the electronic component 4 is connected to the circuit board 2 by pressing the contact portion 323 of the spring 3.

[0038] The present invention further provides an electronic device embodiment, the electronic device includes the above-mentioned circuit board assembly 1000. The structure and function of the circuit board assembly 1000 can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

These embodiments are not used as additional restrictions on the content of the utility model.
