Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of surface assembly, in particular to a grounding spring for SMT patches. Background Art

[0002] With the development of current electronic technology, product integration is getting higher and higher, and the structural design of some places cannot be perfectly solved. At present, the most common method used in the industry is to stick conductive foam to connect the floating metal devices to the system ground. Sticking conductive foam will not only increase the number of manual positions, but also the conductive performance of conductive foam is not particularly good, so the EMI and EMS effects of EMC are not perfect. Therefore, we propose a grounding spring for SMT patches. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art. At present, the most common method used in the industry is to stick conductive foam to connect the floating metal device to the system ground. Sticking conductive foam not only increases the number of manual positions, but also the conductive performance of the conductive foam is not particularly good, so the EMI and EMS effects on EMC are not perfect.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A grounding spring for SMT patch, comprising a PCB board and a chip arranged at the upper end, a grounding spring is reflow-welded at the upper end of the PCB board near the chip, and a floating ground metal is installed on the PCB board;

[0006] The grounding spring consists of a grounding part and an extruded part. The grounding part is reflow-welded on the PCB. After the floating metal corresponds to the chip installation, the bottom of the floating metal contacts and extrudes the extruded part, and the extruded part is deformed so that the PCB and the floating metal are overlapped.

[0007] Furthermore, the grounding spring is made of copper or stainless steel.

[0008] Furthermore, the grounding portion and the extruded portion are integrally formed, the upper end of the extruded portion is in an arc structure and both ends are connected to the grounding portion.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] The utility model can be used for grounding design with floating metal on PCB circuit board. For some design scenarios where grounding is not possible, when the structure cannot be changed, the floating metal material device can be completely overlapped with the system ground, which can effectively solve the EMC EMI and EMS series problems caused by the floating metal device.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a grounding spring for SMT patch, comprising a PCB board 1 and a chip 2 arranged at the upper end, a grounding spring 3 is reflow-welded at the upper end of the PCB board 1 near the chip 2, and a floating ground metal 4 is installed on the PCB board 1. The grounding spring 3 can be overlapped with the system ground of the PCB board 1 in products with a small space and a relatively compact structure, thereby solving the EMC EMI radiation emission problem and the EMS radiation interference problem caused by the floating ground metal 4 in the electronic product; the grounding spring 3 is composed of a grounding part 31 and an extruded part 32, the grounding part 31 is reflow-welded on the PCB board 1, and after the floating ground metal 4 is installed corresponding to the chip 2, the bottom of the floating ground metal 4 is pressed against the extruded part 32, and the extruded part 32 is deformed so that the PCB board 1 and the floating ground metal 4 are overlapped.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the grounding spring piece 3 is made of copper or stainless steel. The material thickness and material of the grounding spring piece 3 are designed according to requirements. Any material that can be conductively welded can be used according to requirements. The grounding spring piece 3 can be designed to be various specifications such as 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 in height to meet the overlapping requirements. The grounding portion 31 and the extruded portion 32 are integrally formed, and the upper end of the extruded portion 32 is an arc structure and both ends are connected to the grounding portion 31.

[0023] Working principle: The grounding spring 3 is attached to the designated position on the PCB board 1 and fixed to the PCB board 1 after reflow soldering. Then, the floating ground metal 4, such as the heat sink installed on the housing, is installed and pressed on the grounding spring 3. By pressing the housing, the grounding spring 3 is deformed to a certain extent, so as to achieve a perfect overlap between the system ground and the floating ground metal 4.

[0025] 1) The fit is tighter, thus achieving the best effect;

[0026] 2) Cost reduction (including material cost and labor cost);

[0027] 3) Reduce the required space on the PCB to ensure the grounding effect;

[0028] 4) Perfectly suppress EMC (EMI and EMS).
