[0069] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Although the description of the present application will be introduced in conjunction with some embodiments, this does not mean that the features of this application are limited to the implementation mode. On the contrary, the purpose of combining the implementation mode as an application introduction is to cover other options or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present application. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present application, many specific details will be included in the following description. The present application can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or blurring the focus of the present application, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0070] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0071] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0072] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0073] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, the phrases "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear at different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0074] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2, an electronic device 10 in the related art, the electronic device 10 may include a middle frame 11, a bottom shell 12, a mainboard 13, an electromagnetic shielding component 14, a detection module 15 and a battery 16, the detection module 15 is mounted on the bottom shell 12, the mainboard 13 is mounted on the middle frame 11, the battery 16 is assembled on the top surface of the mainboard 13, the bottom surface of the mainboard 13 can be installed with electronic components 13a such as communication chips, and the electromagnetic shielding component 14 is arranged on the bottom surface of the mainboard 13 and covers the outside of the electronic components 13a. The bottom surface of the mainboard 13 and the bottom shell 12 are arranged facing each other, and the bottom shell 12 is mounted on the middle frame 11. A safety gap 17 greater than or equal to 0.15 mm (mm) needs to be reserved between the electromagnetic shielding component 14 and the substrate 15a in the detection module 15 to reduce the instantaneous micro-deformation of the detection module 15 caused by falling or squeezing during the production process or user use scenarios, and the failure or damage caused by the collision of the detection module 15. The above-mentioned safety gap 17 will increase the thickness of the entire electronic device 10 ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 Dimensions in the left and right directions).

[0075] Combination Figure 3 When the detection module 15 is installed on the bottom shell 12, the substrate 15a of the detection module 15 needs to be passed through the hot melt column 18 of the bottom shell 12, and the substrate 15a is fixed to the bottom shell 12 by hot riveting, so that the detection module 15 is fixed to the bottom shell 12. A wheat pull sheet can be attached to the outer surface of the hot melt column 18 to overcome the problem of wire drawing and roughness on the outer surface of the hot melt column 18. These will make the manufacturing process complicated.

[0076] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the detection module 15 is mounted on the bottom shell 12, and the substrate 15a has a redundant flexible printed circuit (FPC) 15b. Before the bottom shell 12 is mounted on the middle frame 11, the FPC 15b of the detection module 15 needs to be connected to the main board 13 through a connector to achieve the conductive connection between the main board 13 and the detection module 15. The FPC 15b of the detection module 15 should be designed in combination with the gap between the electromagnetic shielding member 14 and the bottom shell 12 and a certain path, so that the length and area of ​​the FPC 15b are longer and the cost is higher.

[0077] See also Figure 5 Another electronic device 20 in the related art may include a middle frame 21, a bottom shell 22, a main board 23, a sub-board 24, a detection module 25, a battery 26 and a bracket 27. The detection module 25 is mounted on the bottom shell 22. The thickness of the bracket 27 is about 0.6 mm. The bracket 27 is mounted on the bottom shell 22 and is located above the detection module 25 ( Figure 5The battery 26 is mounted on the bracket 27, and the main board 23 and the sub-board 24 are mounted on the side of the battery 26, that is, beside the battery 26 in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction ( Figure 5 The thickness direction of the battery in the figure is the left-right direction). A safety gap 28 of 0.15 mm or more needs to be reserved between the bracket 27 and the substrate 25a in the detection module 25 to reduce the instantaneous micro-deformation of the detection module 25 caused by falling or squeezing during the production process or user use scenario, and the failure or damage caused by the collision of the detection module 25. The above-mentioned safety gap 28 and the thickness of the bracket 27 will increase the thickness of the electronic device 20 ( Figure 5 Dimensions in the left and right directions).

[0078] The main board 23 and the auxiliary board 24 are arranged on the side of the battery 26, which makes the volume and capacity of the battery 26 small, affecting the maximum working time of the whole machine. The main board 23 and the auxiliary board 24 need to be connected through a flexible circuit board 29, which makes the manufacturing process complicated.

[0079] The detection module 25 is mounted on the bottom shell 22, and the substrate 25a has a redundant flexible printed circuit board 25b. Before the bottom shell 22 is mounted on the middle frame 21, the FPC 25b of the detection module 25 needs to be connected to the mainboard 23 through a connector to achieve the conductive connection between the mainboard 23 and the detection module 25. The FPC 25b of the detection module 25 should be designed in combination with the gaps and a certain path of multiple devices. The FPC 25b should extend along the bottom, side and top of the battery 26, so that the length of the FPC 25b is longer, the area is larger, and the cost is higher.

The plate-like portion 121 is used to achieve electromagnetic shielding of the first electronic component 112, and also serves as a supporting portion for the substrate 131 in the detection module 130. The flange portion 122 can be connected to the first surface 110a of the mainboard 110 to fix the electromagnetic shielding component 120 on the mainboard 110.

[0104] When realizing the conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the main board 110, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.12 The substrate 131 may have a first flexible extension section 1311 , and the first flexible extension section 1311 and the main board 110 are conductively connected.

[0105] A first flexible extension section 1311 is disposed on the substrate 131. The first flexible extension section 1311 can be understood as a bendable flexible circuit board. The position and posture of the first flexible extension section 1311 can be conveniently adjusted to achieve conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the mainboard 110 to realize signal transmission. Figure 3 , Figure 4 The technical solution shown arranges the main board in the middle frame and the detection module in the bottom shell, and configures redundant FPCs to achieve conductive connection between the main board and the detection module. The main board 110, the electromagnetic shielding component 120 and the detection module 130 in this embodiment are assembled to form the overall structure of the circuit board assembly 100. A first flexible extension section 1311 with a shorter length and smaller area is arranged between the main board 110 and the substrate 131, so that the conductive connection between the main board 110 and the detection module 130 can be achieved at a lower cost.

[0106] When setting the connection position 1311a between the first flexible extension section 1311 and the main board 110, refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9The connection position 1311a between the first flexible extension section 1311 and the main board 110 is located on the first surface 110a of the main board 110 and is arranged close to the edge 123 of the electromagnetic shielding member 120. In this way, the main board 110 and the substrate 131 are electrically connected through the first flexible extension section 1311, and the length of the first flexible extension section 1311 can be made shorter and the area smaller, which effectively reduces the cost.

[0107] For example, a first flexible extension section 1311 with a smaller area may be provided between the mainboard 110 and the detection module 130 of this embodiment to achieve a conductive connection between the mainboard 110 and the detection module 130.

In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first flexible extension section 1311 is reduced by more than 50%.

[0109] A second flexible extension section 1312 is configured on the substrate 131, and the second flexible extension section 1312 can be understood as a bendable flexible circuit board. A second electronic component 150 with a predetermined function can be installed on the second flexible extension section 1312, and the second electronic component 150 can be adjusted to a predetermined position by adjusting the position and posture of the second flexible extension section 1312. The second electronic component 150 is conductively connected through the second flexible extension section 1312, the first flexible extension section 1311 and the mainboard 110 to realize the drive control of the second electronic component 150. The second electronic component 150 can be a speaker, a vibration motor, etc. The substrate 131 can be configured with multiple second flexible extension sections 1312 as needed, and second electronic components 150 with different functions can be configured to achieve different functional expansions.

[0112] The reinforcing sheet 131d is not disposed on the first flexible extension section 1311, so that the first flexible extension section 1311 can be bent, which facilitates adjustment of the position and posture of the first flexible extension section 1311, and realizes conductive connection between the first flexible extension section 1311 and the main board 110. The area of ​​the flexible circuit board 131c corresponding to the reinforcing sheet 131d refers to the area on the flexible circuit board 131c connected to the reinforcing sheet 131d.

[0113] The substrate 131 is in the form of a flexible circuit board 131c and a reinforcing sheet 131d. The flexible circuit board 131c is used as a carrier for installing the detection unit 132. The first flexible extension section 1311 is used as a flexible extension part for connecting the substrate 131 and the main board 110. The reinforcing sheet 131d can increase the structural strength. The reinforcing sheet 131d is fixed on the electromagnetic shielding component 120 to achieve reliable fixing of the detection module 130 on the electromagnetic shielding component 120. The reinforcing sheet 131d can be a sheet made of iron or other metals. The reinforcing sheet 131d and the flexible circuit board 131c can be connected by means of colloid bonding or the like. The surface of the reinforcing sheet 131d away from the flexible circuit board 131c is used as the fifth surface 131a fixedly connected to the electromagnetic shielding component 120. The surface of the flexible circuit board 131c away from the reinforcing sheet 131d is used as the sixth surface 131b for installing the detection unit 132.

[0114] When the substrate 131 has a second flexible extension section 1312, the reinforcing sheet 131d is not provided on the second flexible extension section 1312, so that the second flexible extension section 1312 can be bent, which facilitates adjusting the position and posture of the second flexible extension section 1312 and adjusting the second electronic component 150 on the second flexible extension section 1312 to a predetermined position.

The surface of the first rigid board 131e facing the electromagnetic shielding component 120 serves as the fifth surface 131a fixedly connected to the electromagnetic shielding component 120. The surface of the first rigid board 131e facing away from the electromagnetic shielding component 120 serves as the sixth surface 131b for installing the detection unit 132.

[0117] The third implementation method of the substrate 131 is: Fig.14 The substrate 131 is a rigid-flexible board, which includes a first rigid part 131h and a first flexible part 131i. The first rigid part 131h and the first flexible part 131i are conductively connected. The first flexible part 131i serves as a first flexible extension section 1311. The detection unit 132 is arranged on the first rigid part 131h, and the first rigid part 131h is fixed on the fourth surface 120b of the electromagnetic shielding component 120.

[0118] The substrate 131 is in the form of a rigid-flexible board, the first rigid part 131h and the first flexible part 131i are an integrated structure, the first rigid part 131h is used as a carrier for installing the detection unit 132, and the first flexible part 131i is used as a flexible extension part for connecting the first rigid part 131h and the main board 110.

The surface of the first rigid part 131h facing the electromagnetic shielding component 120 is used as the fifth surface 131a fixedly connected to the electromagnetic shielding component 120. The surface of the first rigid part 131h away from the electromagnetic shielding component 120 is used as the sixth surface 131b for installing the detection unit 132.

[0119] There are multiple optional implementations for the conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the main board 110 , and two implementations are given as examples below.

[0120] The first method for realizing the conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the main board 110: Figure 8 , Fig.11 The substrate 131 and the main board 110 are conductively connected via a connector 160 . The connector 160 includes a first connecting portion 161 and a second connecting portion 162 that are plug-fitted. The first connecting portion 161 is disposed on the substrate 131 , and the second connecting portion 162 is disposed on the main board 110 .

[0121] The substrate 131 and the main board 110 are connected by a connector 160, which is easy to assemble and realizes a conductive connection between the two. During assembly, the substrate 131 of the detection module 130 can be fixed on the electromagnetic shielding member 120, and the first connecting portion 161 can be plugged into the second connecting portion 162, so that the conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the main board 110 can be realized through the first connecting portion 161 and the second connecting portion 162.

[0122] The connector 160 may be a board-to-board (BTB) connector, a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector, or other types of connectors. The ZIF connector does not require additional insertion force during connection, and a stable connection can be achieved through a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0123] In the case where the substrate 131 has a first flexible extension 1311, see Fig.11 The first connection portion 161 can be disposed on the first flexible extension section 1311. After the substrate 131 is fixed to the electromagnetic shielding component 120, the first connection portion 161 and the second connection portion 162 can be plugged and matched by adjusting the position of the first flexible extension section 1311, so that the assembly is convenient and reliable.

[0124] In the case where the substrate 131 does not have the first flexible extension section 1311, the first connection portion 161 can be provided on the side of the substrate 131 facing the mainboard 110, and the second connection portion 162 can be provided on the side of the mainboard 110 facing the substrate 131. By plugging the first connection portion 161 and the second connection portion 162 into each other, a conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the mainboard 110 can be achieved.

[0125] The second method for realizing the conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the main board 110: the substrate 131 and the main board 110 are conductively connected by welding, the substrate 131 has a first soldering pad (not shown), the main board 110 has a second soldering pad (not shown), and the first soldering pad and the second soldering pad are welded.

[0126] The substrate 131 and the main board 110 are connected by a pad, which is easy to assemble and realizes a conductive connection between the two. During assembly, the substrate 131 of the detection module 130 can be fixed on the electromagnetic shielding member 120, and the first pad and the second pad are welded, so that the conductive connection between the substrate 131 and the main board 110 can be realized through the first pad and the second pad.

[0127] When setting the detection unit 132, the detection unit 132 may include at least one of an optical plethysmography sensor, an electrocardiogram sensor, and a temperature sensor. In other words, the detection unit 132 with one or more functions may be configured as needed. Different detection units 132 may monitor different physiological parameters of the user.

[0128] The optical plethysmography (PPG) sensor uses a photoelectric sensor to detect the intensity of reflected light after absorption by human blood and tissues, records the changes in blood vessel volume during the cardiac cycle, and calculates the heart rate and blood oxygen from the obtained pulse waveform.

[0129] Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors use electrodes in contact with human skin to record the timing and strength of the electrical signals that cause the heart to beat.

[0130] Temperature sensors use temperature sensitive elements to measure temperature changes in the human body.

[0131] In the case where the detection unit 132 includes an optical plethysmographic sensor, see Figures 11 to 14 The optical plethysmography sensor includes one or more light emitting diodes 1321 (light emitting diode, LED) and one or more photoelectric diodes 1322 (photoelectric diode, PD). The light emitting surface of the light emitting diode 1321 is arranged to face away from the main board 110, and the light receiving surface of the photodiode 1322 is arranged to face away from the main board 110.

[0132] The light emitting diode 1321 is a semiconductor light emitting device that emits light. The photodiode 1322 is a semiconductor photodetector device that converts light into an electrical signal. The light emitting diode 1321 and the photodiode 1322 are arranged on the substrate 131 and are conductively connected to the substrate 131. When working, part of the light signal emitted by the light emitting diode 1321 to the human body is absorbed by the human blood and tissue, and part of the light signal is reflected and received by the photodiode 1322. The change of the blood vessel volume during the cardiac cycle is recorded based on the collected light signal, and the heart rate and blood oxygen are obtained from the obtained pulse waveform. The combination and layout of the light emitting diode 1321 and the photodiode 1322 can be determined based on the optical path design.

[0133] See also Fig.15 , Fig.16 In the case where the detection unit 132 of the detection module 130 is a PPG sensor, the circuit board assembly 100 having the mainboard 110, the electromagnetic shielding component 120 and the detection module 130 is directly arranged on the middle frame 300, and a predetermined spacing needs to be set between the mainboard 110 and the bottom shell 200 so that there is a predetermined distance between the PPG sensor and the bottom shell 200, so that the PPG sensor can work normally, that is, the light emitting diode 1321 in the PPG sensor sends a light signal to the human body, and the photodiode 1322 in the PPG sensor receives the light signal reflected by the human body, thereby realizing the optimized design of the optical path of the PPG sensor.

[0134] In order to prevent the light from the LED 1321 from directly irradiating the photodiode 1322, in some embodiments, see Fig.12 A light shielding member 1323 is provided between the light emitting diode 1321 and the photodiode 1322. The light shielding member 1323 can prevent the light of the light emitting diode 1321 from directly irradiating the photodiode 1322, so that the photodiode 1322 receives the light signal reflected by the human body, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0135] The light shielding member 1323 may be made of foam or other materials. The light shielding member 1323 may be set to a rectangular, circular or other shape and may be set around the light emitting diode 1321. The area of ​​the light shielding member 1323 may be set as required. The light shielding member 1323 may be fixed to the substrate 131 by bonding or other methods.

[0136] When assembling the bottom case 200 and the middle frame 300, refer to Fig.15 , Fig.16 The inner wall of the bottom shell 200 may have a partition rib 201. When the bottom shell 200 is fixed to the middle frame 300, the partition rib 201 is pressed against the shading member 1323 to achieve a shading effect between the light-emitting diode 1321 and the photodiode 1322.

[0137] For example, see Fig.12 Two photodiodes 1322 , two photodiodes 1322 and a frame-shaped shading member 1323 are provided on the substrate 131 . The photodiodes 1322 and the photodiodes 1322 are arranged alternately in a predetermined direction. The shading member 1323 is arranged between two adjacent photodiodes 1322 and around one photodiode 1322 .

[0138] In order to achieve better light emission and light reception of the PPG sensor, in some embodiments, refer to Fig.15 , Fig.16 A first lens 1324 is provided in front of the light emitting surface of the light emitting diode 1321, and a second lens 1325 is provided in front of the light receiving surface of the photodiode 1322. The light emitting diode 1321 and the first lens 1324 are combined so that the light generated by the light emitting diode 1321 can be better emitted. The photodiode 1322 and the second lens 1325 are combined so that the external light can be better received by the photodiode 1322. In addition, some light emitting diodes 1321 and photodiodes 1322 are arranged adjacent to each other and can share the same lens.

[0139] In order to enable the circuit board assembly 100 to have power supply capability, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig.10, a battery 170 is fixed to the second surface 110b of the mainboard 110, and the battery 170 is conductively connected to the mainboard 110. The battery 170 can be used to power the mainboard 110, the detection module 130 and other devices. The mainboard 110 is a whole board structure, and the battery 170 is arranged on the second surface 110b of the mainboard 110, so that the volume and capacity of the battery 170 can be increased, and the maximum working time of the whole machine is increased. The battery 170 can be arranged in the middle frame 300. The battery 170 can be fixed to the mainboard 110 by colloid or other means.

[0140] When it is necessary to confirm the circuit board assembly 100 and the electronic device 1000 of this embodiment, the device can be disassembled to see whether the detection module 130 is fixed on the electromagnetic shielding component 120. A tomographic image of the circuit board assembly 100 can also be obtained by electronic computed tomography (CT) to determine whether the detection module 130 is fixed on the electromagnetic shielding component 120.
