[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the connector assembly provided in the first embodiment of the present application in an open state. The connector assembly 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a base 10 and a plurality of connection terminals 20 arranged on one side of the base 10. The connector assembly 1 may also include two side walls 40, an end wall 50, a cover plate 70 and a reinforcing plate 80. The two side walls 40 are arranged oppositely and at intervals, and are connected to one side of the base 10, and the plurality of connection terminals 20 are arranged at intervals on the base 10 and are located between the two side walls 40. The end wall 50 is arranged at one side edge of the base 10 and is connected between the two side walls 40. The cover plate 70 is rotatably connected between the two side walls 40 and maintains a predetermined distance from the base 10. That is, the cover plate 70 is rotatably connected between the two side walls 40, and its opposite ends are rotatably connected to the two side walls 40 respectively, and the cover plate 70 maintains a predetermined distance from the base 10. The reinforcing plate 80 is detachably inserted between the base 10 and the cover 70 , and the reinforcing plate 80 is used to support and fix the flexible circuit board 130 .

[0039] It is understandable that the rotational connection between the cover plate 70 and the two side walls 40 includes but is not limited to: hinge connection, bearing connection, etc. The flexible circuit board component 130 can be a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), a flexible flat cable (FFC) or a chip on film (COF).

[0040] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the connector assembly 1 in the locked state is shown. In the embodiment of the present application, the cover plate 70 can move relative to the two side walls 40 and the base 10 to fix the flexible circuit board 130 and the reinforcement plate 80 between the base 10 and the cover plate 70. Specifically, the cover plate 70 can rotate around the two side walls 40, so that the cover plate 70 can move closer to or farther away from the base 10 to support the reinforcement plate 80 (that is, the connector assembly 1 is in a locked state) or remove the reinforcement plate 80 (that is, the connector assembly 1 is in an open state).

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing plate 80 includes a reinforcing plate 81, which is disposed on a side of the base 10 having the plurality of connecting terminals 20 and is located between the side wall 40 and the end wall 50. The flexible circuit board component 130 is disposed on a side of the reinforcing plate 81 facing away from the base 10, and the reinforcing plate 81 is used to support and fix the flexible circuit board component 130 on a side of the flexible circuit board component 130 facing the base 10, so that the flexible circuit board component 130 can be quickly and efficiently inserted between the base 10 and the cover plate 70, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the connector assembly 1.

[0042] It can be understood that by arranging the flexible circuit board component on the side of the reinforcement plate facing away from the base, the reinforcement plate supports the flexible circuit board component on the side of the flexible circuit board component facing the base, thereby preventing the flexible circuit board component from bending in the direction facing the base due to gravity, so that the flexible circuit board component can be quickly and efficiently inserted into the connector assembly, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the flexible circuit board component and the connector assembly, thereby improving the production efficiency of the product.

[0043] It should be noted that, during the assembly process of the flexible circuit board component 130 and the connector assembly 1, because the opening direction of the cover plate 70 of the connector assembly 1 is usually opposite to the gravity direction of the base 10, the cover plate 70 needs to be located above the gravity of the base 10. Therefore, the direction in which the flexible circuit board component 130 faces the base 10 is the direction in which the gravity of the flexible circuit board component 130 is applied.

[0044] In the exemplary embodiment, for ease of illustration and description, Figure 2 Only a portion of the flexible circuit board component 130 is shown, and the other end of the flexible circuit board component 130 is connected to other electronic components.

[0045] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 The bottom view of the flexible circuit board component shown, Figure 4 for Figure 2Schematic diagram of assembly of a flexible circuit board component and a reinforcing plate component shown in FIG. In the embodiment of the present application, a gold finger 131 is provided on the side of the flexible circuit board component 130 facing the reinforcing plate 81. The reinforcing plate 81 is provided with a first opening 81a and a second opening 81b which are relatively spaced apart, and the positions of the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b correspond to the positions of the gold finger 131. The first opening 81a and the second opening 81b penetrate the reinforcing plate 81 in the thickness direction of the reinforcing plate 81.

[0046] It can be understood that the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b penetrate the reinforcing plate 81 in the thickness direction of the reinforcing plate 81, so that part of the flexible circuit board component 130 facing the side of the reinforcing plate 81 is not covered by the reinforcing plate 81, that is, part of the gold finger 131 area of ​​the flexible circuit board component 130 is not covered by the reinforcing plate 81.

[0047] See also Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, the two side walls 40 and the plurality of connection terminals 20 are arranged on the same side of the base 10. The two side walls 40 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart by a preset distance, and are respectively connected to two opposite edges of the base 10. The plurality of connection terminals 20 are arranged side by side and spaced apart between the two side walls 40, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of connection terminals 20 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the two side walls 40, that is, the arrangement direction of the plurality of connection terminals 20 is the direction from one side wall 40 to the other side wall 40.

[0048] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 for Figure 1 A top view of a partial structure of the connector assembly is shown. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The cross-sectional schematic diagram of the connector assembly along the VI-VI direction is shown. In the embodiment of the present application, each of the connecting terminals 20 includes a body 21, a first bite 22 and a second bite 23, wherein the body 21 is arranged on the side of the base 10 facing the cover plate 70 and is located between the two side walls 40. The first bite 22 and the second bite 23 are convexly arranged on the side of the body 21 facing away from the base 10, and the two are arranged relatively spaced, and the first bite 22 and the second bite 23 are both electrically connected to the body 21.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the material of the connecting terminal 20 may be any one or a combination of metal materials such as platinum (Pt), gold (Au), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni), and the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0050] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , Figure 7 for Figure 2 A top view of the connector assembly is shown. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The schematic cross-sectional view of the connector assembly shown is along the VIII-VIII direction, Fig. 9 for Figure 8 The enlarged structural schematic diagram of the structure IX of the cross-sectional schematic diagram of the connection assembly shown in the figure. In the embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing plate 81 is located on the side of the body 21 facing away from the base 10. The position of the first opening 81a corresponds to the position of the first teeth 22, and the orthographic projection of the first opening 81a on the base 10 covers the orthographic projection of each first teeth 22 on the base 10. The position of the second opening 81b corresponds to the position of the second teeth 23, and the orthographic projection of the second opening 81b on the base 10 covers the orthographic projection of each second teeth 23 on the base 10. A plurality of the first teeth 22 are accommodated in the first opening 81a, and the side thereof facing away from the body 21 passes through the first opening 81a to contact with part of the gold fingers 131 of the flexible circuit board component 130. A plurality of the second teeth 23 are accommodated in the second opening 81b, and the side thereof facing away from the body 21 passes through the second opening 81b to contact with part of the gold fingers 131 of the flexible circuit board component 130.

[0051] It can be understood that, by accommodating multiple first teeth 22 in the first opening 81a and contacting with part of the gold fingers 131 of the flexible circuit board component 130, and accommodating multiple second teeth 23 in the second opening 81b and contacting with part of the gold fingers 131 of the flexible circuit board component 130, multiple first teeth 22 and multiple second teeth 23 can be electrically connected to the flexible circuit board component 130, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the connector assembly 1 and the flexible circuit board component 130 and the signal transmission between the two.

[0052] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9In the embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing plate 80 also includes an auxiliary reinforcing member 82 and a connecting member 83, wherein the connecting member 83 is connected to one side edge of the reinforcing plate 81 and extends in a direction away from the base 10, and the auxiliary reinforcing member 82 is connected to a side of the connecting member 83 away from the reinforcing plate 81 and extends parallel to the direction of the reinforcing plate 81 away from the connecting member 83. That is, the reinforcing plate 81 and the auxiliary reinforcing member 82 are connected to opposite sides of the connecting member 83 and extend toward the same surface of the connecting member 83. Therefore, the reinforcing plate 81, the auxiliary reinforcing member 82 and the connecting member 83 enclose a clamping space, and the clamping space is used to clamp and fix the flexible circuit board component 130, that is, the flexible circuit board component 130 is clamped and fixed between the reinforcing plate 81, the auxiliary reinforcing member 82 and the connecting member 83, so that the flexible circuit board component 130 can be quickly and efficiently inserted between the base 10 and the cover plate 70.

[0053] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 is disposed between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the cover plate 70, and the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 is in close contact with the flexible circuit board component 130 and the cover plate 70, respectively, and the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 is used to fill the gap between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the cover plate 70. The connecting member 83 is connected between the reinforcing plate 81 and the auxiliary reinforcement member 82, and abuts against one end of the flexible circuit board component 130 inserted into the reinforcing plate member 80. The connecting member 83 is used to connect the reinforcing plate 81 and the auxiliary reinforcement member 82, and abuts against the end wall 50 when the reinforcing plate member 80 is inserted between the base 10 and the cover plate 70.

[0054] It can be understood that, by providing the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the cover plate 70, there is no gap between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the cover plate 70 when the connector assembly 1 is in a locked state, thereby preventing the flexible circuit board component 130 from loosening with the connector assembly 1, and enhancing the connection stability between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the connector assembly 1. Moreover, by providing the connecting member 83 between the reinforcement plate 81 and the auxiliary reinforcement member 82, the reinforcement plate 81 and the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 can be fixedly connected, so that the reinforcement plate 80 can be integrally formed in the relevant process.

[0055] Please also read Figure 8 and Fig. 9In the embodiment of the present application, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 on the base 10 covers the orthographic projection of the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b on the base 10, that is, the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 at least covers the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b in the normal direction of the flexible circuit board component 130.

[0056] It can be understood that the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 covers at least the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b in the normal direction of the flexible circuit board component 130, that is, the auxiliary reinforcement member 82 at least fills the gap between the portion of the flexible circuit board component 130 and the cover plate 70 located in the normal direction of the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b, thereby avoiding the portion of the flexible circuit board component 130 located in the normal direction of the first opening 81a and the second opening 81b from being misaligned with the first tooth 22 and the second tooth 23, so as to ensure the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the first tooth 22 and the second tooth 23.

[0057] See also Fig.10 , Fig.10 A schematic diagram of the structure of the reinforcement plate of the connector assembly provided in the second embodiment of the present application. The difference between the connector assembly in the second embodiment and the connector assembly in the first embodiment is only that: the structure of the reinforcement plate 81 is different. For the description of the similarities between the connector assembly in the second embodiment and the connector assembly in the first embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of the connector assembly in the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, only one opening is provided on the reinforcing plate 81. For the convenience of description, the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the reinforcing plate 81 as an example in which only one first opening 81a is provided, wherein the position of the first opening 81a corresponds to the position of the gold finger 131. The orthographic projection of the first opening 81a on the base 10 covers the orthographic projections of the plurality of bodies 21 on the base 10, that is, the orthographic projection of the first opening 81a on the base 10 covers the plurality of first teeth 22 and the plurality of second teeth 23. The plurality of first teeth 22 and the plurality of second teeth 23 are accommodated in the first opening 81a, and the side of the plurality of first teeth 22 and the plurality of second teeth 23 facing away from the base 10 passes through the first opening 81a and contacts with part of the gold fingers 131 of the flexible circuit board component 130.

[0059] It can be understood that, by accommodating multiple first teeth 22 and multiple second teeth 23 in the first opening 81a and contacting with part of the gold fingers 131 of the flexible circuit board component 130, the flexible circuit board component 130 can be electrically connected to the first teeth 22 and the second teeth 23, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board component 130 and the connector assembly 1.

[0060] It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present application, the number of openings provided on the reinforcing plate 81 may be other numbers, for example, three openings, four openings, five openings, or other numbers of openings may be provided on the reinforcing plate 81, and the present application does not impose any specific limitation on this. The positions of the plurality of openings correspond to the positions of the gold fingers 131, and the orthographic projections of the plurality of openings on the base 10 cover the orthographic projections of the plurality of bodies 21 on the base 10.

[0061] In the implementation manner of the present application, the material of the flexible circuit board component 130 and the reinforcing plate component 80 can be polyethylene, polyimide or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc., and the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0062] Based on the same utility model concept, the third embodiment of the present application provides a circuit board assembly, see Fig.11 , Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the structure of a circuit board assembly provided in the third embodiment of the present application. The circuit board assembly 100 provided in the third embodiment of the present application may include a circuit board 110, a flexible circuit board component 130, and the connector component 1 shown in the above embodiment, wherein the connector component 1 is disposed on the circuit board 110 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 110, and one end of the flexible circuit board component 130 is detachably plugged into the connector component 1 and is electrically connected to the connector component 1, wherein the circuit board 110 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board component 130 via the connector component 1. Figures 1 to 7 The illustrated embodiment introduces the connector assembly 1 in some detail, which will not be described again here.
