Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electronic products, and particularly relates to an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] The requirements for the appearance size and form of electronic products are changing more and more. Product requirements such as multiple cameras and large battery capacity require the overall layout of the machine to make more reasonable use of space. The current mainstream three-stage stacking design scheme, such as Figures 1 to 2 In it, the arrangement position of the board-to-board (BTB) connector (such as Figure 2 e in the figure) fixedly connected to the lower-layer FPC (b in the figure) will have a design structure overlapping with the upper-layer FPC (a in the figure). The reinforcing steel sheet c of the BTB connector is usually a stamping process, and the edge of the reinforcing steel sheet c is sharp and there are burrs. When the upper-layer FPC (a in the figure) passes through the reinforcing steel sheet c of the BTB connector, there is a risk of being cut by the edge of the reinforcing steel sheet c (such as Figure 2 the circled position d in the figure).

[0003] Currently, to prevent the upper-layer FPC from being cut by the reinforcing steel sheet, the main solution adopted is to add a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) spacer between the upper-layer FPC and the reinforcing steel sheet c to protect the upper-layer FPC. However, the PET spacer in this solution is relatively thin, and the protection effect on the FPC is not good, and the pre-pressing effect on the BTB connector is also relatively poor.

[0004] Therefore, how to avoid the FPC from being scratched by the reinforcing steel sheet while ensuring effective pre-pressing of the BTB connector is a technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] An object of the embodiments of this application is to provide an electronic device, which can solve the problem of how to avoid the FPC from being scratched by the reinforcing steel sheet while ensuring effective pre-pressing of the BTB connector.

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0018] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order different from those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and / or" in the description and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0019] The control method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , the embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device, including: a main board bracket 101, an isolation member 102, a reinforcing plate 103, a first flexible circuit board 104, and a connector 105 that are sequentially stacked;

[0021] Wherein, the main board bracket 101 abuts against the isolation member 102, the isolation member 102 forms an installation space, and a second flexible circuit board 106 is disposed through the installation space; the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 are separated by a partial structure of the isolation member 102.

[0022] In the above embodiment, by sequentially stacking the main board bracket 101, the isolation member 102, the reinforcing plate 103, the first flexible circuit board 104, and the connector 105, and making the main board bracket 101 abut against the isolation member 102, the main board bracket 101 can play a pre-pressing role on the connector 105; and by disposing the second flexible circuit board 106 through the installation space formed by the isolation member 102 and separating the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 by a partial structure of the isolation member 102, the second flexible circuit board 106 can be prevented from being scratched by the reinforcing plate 103.

[0023] In some alternative embodiments, the isolation member 102 includes:

[0024] A first flat structure 1021;

[0025] A first boss 1022 and a second boss 1023 located on the first flat structure, a recessed portion is formed between the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023; wherein, the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023 are in contact with the main board bracket 101, and the recessed portion and the main board bracket 101 enclose to form an installation space.

[0026] As Figures 3 to 5Among them, one side of the first flat structure 1021 is attached to the reinforcing plate 103, and the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023 are arranged at intervals on the other side of the first flat structure 1021, and the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023 face the main board bracket 101. The main board bracket 101 presses against the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023, which can play a pre-pressing role on the connector 105. A recess formed between the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023 and the main board bracket 101 enclose an installation space, and the second flexible circuit board 106 passes through the installation space, separating the second flexible circuit board 106 from the reinforcing plate 103. On the one hand, it can prevent the second flexible circuit board 106 from being cut by the reinforcing plate 103, and on the other hand, it can also play a role in fixing the position of the second flexible circuit board 106 and preventing the second flexible circuit board 106 from shifting.

[0027] In some other alternative embodiments, the spacer 102 includes a through cavity, and the cavity forms an installation space.

[0028] For example, the spacer 102 is a cuboid, and a through cavity is provided in the cuboid as a wire passing channel for the second flexible circuit board 106. In this way, the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 are separated by the first side wall of the spacer 102, and the second flexible circuit board 106 and the main board bracket 101 are separated by the second side wall of the spacer 102, and the first side wall and the second side wall are opposite to each other; wherein, the cavity further includes a third side wall and a fourth side wall arranged opposite to each other, and the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall and the fourth side wall enclose an installation space, and the third side wall is perpendicular to the first side wall and the second side wall, and the fourth side wall is perpendicular to the first side wall and the second side wall.

[0029] In the above embodiments, on the one hand, it can prevent the second flexible circuit board 106 from being cut by the reinforcing plate 103, on the other hand, it can also play a role in fixing the position of the second flexible circuit board 106 and preventing the second flexible circuit board 106 from shifting, and it can also avoid the friction between the second flexible circuit board 106 and the main board bracket 101.

[0030] In some alternative embodiments, the first flat structure 1021, the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023 are integrally formed.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first flat structure 1021, the first boss 1022 and the second boss 1023 are integrally formed, which can ensure the structural stability of the spacer 102.

[0032] In some alternative embodiments, the connector 105 is connected to the first side of the first flexible circuit board 104; the reinforcing plate 103 is arranged on the second side of the first flexible circuit board 104, and the reinforcing plate 103 and the connector 105 are arranged opposite to each other; wherein, the second side is opposite to the first side.

[0033] In some alternative embodiments, the spacer 102 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 103 by an adhesive.

[0034] In this embodiment, displacement between the spacer 102 and the reinforcing plate 103 can be avoided, increasing the stability of the electronic device.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, the spacer 102 is made of an elastic material.

[0036] Optionally, the spacer 102 is made of silicone material, or can also be made of rubber material, and the present application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0037] In this embodiment, the spacer 102 between the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 is designed to be made of an elastic material. By increasing the thickness of the spacer 102, the distance between the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 can be increased, avoiding the problem that the second flexible circuit board 106 is cut due to contact between the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103. At the same time, because the spacer 102 is made of an elastic material, hard contact between the main board bracket 101 and the reinforcing plate 103 can be avoided, increasing the reliability of the electronic device.

[0038] In some alternative embodiments, the orthographic projection of the spacer 102 on the reinforcing plate 103 covers the reinforcing plate 103.

[0039] In this embodiment, by making the orthographic projection of the spacer 102 on the reinforcing plate 103 cover the reinforcing plate 103, the problem that the second flexible circuit board 106 is cut due to contact between the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 can be avoided.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the electronic device further includes a main board 107; the connector 105 is connected to the main board 107 on the side facing away from the first flexible circuit board 104.

[0041] As Figures 3 to 5 In [description], the electronic device includes a main board bracket 101, a spacer 102, a reinforcing plate 103, a first flexible circuit board 104, a connector 105, and a main board 107 that are sequentially stacked. That is, the spacer 102, the reinforcing plate 103, the first flexible circuit board 104, and the connector 105 are sequentially sandwiched between the main board bracket 101 and the main board 107, and the second flexible circuit board 106 passes through the installation space formed by the spacer 102, separating the part between the second flexible circuit board 106 and the reinforcing plate 103 through a partial structure of the spacer 102. In this way, the second flexible circuit board 106 can be prevented from being scratched by the reinforcing plate 103, and the main board bracket 101 abuts against the spacer 102, which can play a preloading role on the connector 105.
