Figure 2 , Figure 3 is a three-dimensional structural example diagram of a circuit board assembly in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 The following is an example diagram of the structure of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2-Figure 4 It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the structures with the same mark in different drawings have the same functions.

[0038] In some embodiments, the elevated plate 2 is a second circuit board, and a first component 20 is disposed on a side of the elevated plate 2 facing away from the first circuit board 1 .

[0039] In some embodiments, a second component 11 is disposed on a surface of the first circuit board 1 where the raising plate 2 is affixed to the surface, except for a bonding position of the raising plate 2 .

[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the elevated board 2 is a second circuit board that can carry components, and the elevated board can also be a PCB or FPC board, etc. The first component 20 and the second component 11 can be chips, resistors or capacitors, etc., and the number of the first component 20 and the second component 11 can be one or more. In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple first components 20 can be arranged around the periphery of the elevated board 2, and the second component 11 of the first circuit board 2 can be electrically connected to adjacent first components 20.

[0041] It should be noted that the first component 20 can be set on the elevated plate 2 by welding or plugging, and similarly, the second component 11 can also be set on the first circuit board 1 by welding or plugging, which is not limited to this embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] In the disclosed embodiment, the elevated plate 2 is attached to and electrically connected to the surface of the first circuit board 1. For example, both the elevated plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 are provided with solder pads, and the elevated plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 can be electrically connected by soldering the solder pads. Providing the elevated plate 2 on the first circuit board 1 can effectively increase the space of the circuit board assembly, thereby accommodating more components.

[0043] It should be noted that in the disclosed embodiment, through holes and buried holes can be reasonably set on the elevated board 2, so as to increase the heat dissipation effect of the elevated board 2 and the first component 20 thereon on the basis of realizing the connection between the circuit inside the elevated board 2 and the circuit between the elevated board 2 and the first circuit board 1. Among them, the circuit inside the elevated board 2 is the circuit of the first component 20 on the elevated board 2.

[0044] In the disclosed embodiment, the control chip 3 may be a storage chip (Universal Flash Storage, UFS), or a power control chip, a display control chip, a communication control chip, etc., which is not limited in the disclosed embodiment. The control chip 3 is electrically connected to the elevated board 2, for example, the control chip 3 may be plugged or welded to the elevated board 2.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, the control chip 3 is arranged on the surface facing the first circuit board 1 and is attached to the hollow area 10 of the first circuit board 1. Since the hollow area 10 of the first circuit board 1 is filled with thermal conductive material 4, the thermal conductive material 4 can dissipate the heat of the control chip 3.

[0046] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat dissipation of the first circuit board can be assisted by providing a raised plate. At the same time, the first circuit board is provided with a hollow area, and the hollow area is filled with thermally conductive material. The control chip arranged on the surface of the raised plate is bonded with the thermally conductive material so that the heat of the control chip can be discharged, which can improve the working stability of the control chip and reduce the risk of damage.

[0047] In some embodiments, the pad 2 is provided with a first soldering pad 21 , the control chip 3 is soldered to the first soldering pad 21 , and the first soldering pad 21 covers the hollowed-out area 10 of the first circuit board 1 .

[0048] In the disclosed embodiment, the control chip 3 can be soldered to the first soldering pad 21 of the elevated plate 2, for example, by means of solder paste. Since the first soldering pad 21 covers the hollow area 10 of the first circuit board 1, the thermally conductive material 4 filled in the hollow area 10 can fully dissipate the heat of the control chip 3. Thus, in this way, the heat dissipation effect of the control chip 3 can be improved.

[0049] In some embodiments, the elevation plate 2 includes a plurality of second solder pads 22 , and the elevation plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 are electrically connected via the plurality of second solder pads 22 .

[0050] As mentioned above, the raising plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 can be welded to form an electrical connection. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of second solder pads 22 are arranged on the raising plate 2. The plurality of second solder pads 22 can be arranged adjacent to each other or at intervals. The raising plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 are electrically connected via the plurality of second solder pads 22, which can improve the stability of the connection between the raising plate 2 and the first circuit board 1.

[0051] It should be noted that in the disclosed embodiment, a pad may be provided outside the hollowed-out area on the side of the first circuit board 1 facing the elevated board 2. For example, the first circuit board 1 includes a plurality of third pads, one third pad corresponding to one second pad. In the disclosed embodiment, the first pad 21, the second pad 22, and the third pad may all be copper foil pads. Since copper foil has good conductivity, it can improve the working stability and reliability of the first circuit board 1 and the elevated board 2.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second pads 22 are arranged at intervals.

[0053] In the disclosed embodiment, the second soldering pads 22 are arranged at intervals to reduce the internal stress between the soldering pads. By arranging the second soldering pads 22 at intervals, the soldering coverage area between the raised plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 is enlarged, thereby improving the stability of the soldering.

[0054] In some embodiments, a plurality of the second pads 22 are distributed around the first pad 21 .

[0055] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as mentioned above, the elevated plate 2 and the first circuit board 1 are electrically connected via a plurality of second solder pads 22, and the first circuit board 1 has no solder pad in the hollow area 10, while the first solder pad 21 is arranged opposite to the hollow area 10. Then, the plurality of second solder pads 22 are distributed in the circumference of the first solder pad 21. Compared with the method of only arranging the second solder pad 22 on one side of the first solder pad 21, the stability of the connection between the first circuit board 1 and the elevated plate 2 can be improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, a plurality of the second pads 22 are symmetrically distributed around the first pad 21 .

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, by symmetrically arranging the second solder pads 22, the tension on the solder surface can be balanced, and soldering defects such as cold soldering and false soldering can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the circuit board assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments, a heat insulating portion 5 is disposed on a side of the first circuit board 1 facing away from the elevated plate 2 , and the heat insulating portion 5 covers the hollowed-out area 10 .

[0059] In the disclosed example, the thermal insulation part 5 can be formed of a thermal insulation material with conductive properties, or can be formed of a thermal insulation material with non-conductive properties, such as graphene or copper foil, etc. However, it should be noted that if electronic components are attached to the side of the first circuit board 1 facing away from the raised plate 2, the thermal insulation part 5 is configured to be formed of a non-conductive thermal insulation material.

[0060] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing an insulating portion 5 covered with a thermally conductive material 4 on the side facing away from the raised plate 2, the heat dissipated by the control chip 3 can be reduced from being transferred to other modules in the electronic device and affecting the operation of other modules. In this way, the stability of the operation of the electronic device can be improved.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the circuit board assembly 1000 can be manufactured by the following process steps: S1: putting the elevated board 2 (such as a PCB board) into a printer; S2: the printer realizes solder paste printing on the elevated board 2; S3: using a solder paste detection device to detect the printed form of the solder paste; S4: using a placement machine to accurately mount components (including the control chip 3) on the predetermined position of the tinned components on the PAD through position picking; S5: using AOI automatic optical detection (Automated Optical Inspection) Optical Inspection (AOI) is used to inspect the component patches; S6: reflow soldering is performed to form the soldering of components and realize the mechanical and electrical connection between the soldering end of the surface mounted components and the soldering pad; S7: the soldering of components is inspected again through AOI automatic optical inspection; S8: X-ray inspection and appearance inspection; S9: the attached raised plate 2 is placed on a plate and sent to the placement machine as a material for patching; S9: the S1-S8 process is repeated to solder the raised plate 2 with the device soldered to the first circuit board 1; S10: the first circuit board 1 is filled with thermal conductive glue and solidified; S11: the labeling machine equipment is used to automatically attach the thermal insulation adhesive material; S12: repeat the S8 inspection. Through the above steps, the aforementioned Figure 1-Figure 3 circuit board components.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device is also provided. For example, the electronic device is the aforementioned mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, wearable device (such as a smart watch, smart bracelet, smart ring, smart glasses, etc.), vehicle-mounted terminal, etc. The electronic device includes the aforementioned circuit board assembly 1000 in the shell, and the circuit board assembly 1000 is arranged in the shell.

[0063] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may further include a display screen module, the display screen module cooperates with the housing to form a housing space, and the circuit board assembly 1000 is disposed in the housing space. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the circuit board assembly 1000 may be connected to the display screen module and used to control the working state of each electronic component of the electronic device including the display screen module. Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the circuit board assembly 1000 in the electronic device may also be used to control other functional modules, such as a speaker module or a camera module, etc.

[0064] It is understandable that by disposing the circuit assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present disclosure in an electronic device, better heat dissipation can be achieved within a limited space size, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a battery 6, which is arranged in the shell opposite to the side of the first circuit board 1 facing away from the elevated plate 2. The side of the first circuit board 1 facing away from the elevated plate 2 is provided with a non-conductive thermal insulation part 5, and the thermal insulation part 5 covers the hollow area.

[0066] As mentioned above, if electronic components are attached to the side of the first circuit board 1 facing away from the elevated plate 2, the thermal insulation portion 5 is configured to be formed of a non-conductive thermal insulation material. In this embodiment, the side of the first circuit board 1 away from the elevated plate 2 is a battery 6. By providing a non-conductive thermal insulation portion 5, heat transfer to the battery 6 can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the electronic device.
