[0039] The following Figures 1 - 18 describes a circuit board assembly and an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0040] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the circuit board assembly 100 includes: a circuit board 110, a shielding cover 130, a conductive copper foil 140, and a fixing member 150. A functional component 120 is provided on the circuit board 110. The shielding cover 130 is disposed on the circuit board 110, the functional component 120 is received in the shielding cover 130, the shielding cover 130 is snapped onto the functional component 120, an opening 131 is provided on a side of the shielding cover 130 facing away from the circuit board 110, the conductive copper foil 140 is disposed on the shielding cover 130, and the conductive copper foil 140 covers the opening 131. The fixing member 150 is disposed on the shielding cover 130, a part of the fixing member 150 covers the conductive copper foil 140, and the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 is located between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130.

[0041] The shielding cover 130 is installed on the circuit board 110. For example, the shielding cover 130 is fixed to the circuit board 110 by means such as bonding or welding, and the shielding cover 130 is snapped onto the functional component 120 in the circuit board 110, so that the shielding cover 130 can play a role in shielding part of the electromagnetic waves of the functional component 120. An opening 131 is usually provided on the shielding cover 130, and the conductive copper foil 140 is covered on the opening 131, so that the shielding cover 130 and the conductive copper foil 140 jointly achieve the function of shielding electromagnetic waves.

[0042] After the conductive copper foil 140 is assembled to the shielding cover 130, the fixing member 150 is fixed on the shielding cover 130, and a part of the fixing member 150 is attached to the conductive copper foil 140, so that a part of the conductive copper foil 140 is located between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130. In this embodiment, at least a part of the fixing member 150 is attached to the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140, and the fixing member 150 limits the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140, so that the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 can be firmly attached to the shielding cover 130, the problem that the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 is not easy to warp, and the conductive copper foil 140 is not easy to move relative to the shielding cover 130, ensuring that the conductive copper foil 140 can play a stable electromagnetic shielding function.

[0043] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the fixing member 150 includes an annular fixing member, and the annular fixing member is distributed along the circumferential direction of the conductive copper foil 140 ( Figure 1 the arrow direction at C in

[0044] The fixing member 150 is of an annular structure, and the fixing member 150 is attached to the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140. Therefore, the fixing member 150 can limit the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 to prevent the problem of warping at any point on the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140, and ensure the fitting effect between the conductive copper foil 140 and the shielding cover 130.

[0045] After the conductive copper foil 140 is attached to the shielding cover 130, the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 is prone to warping. When the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 is limited by the fixing member 150, the middle part of the conductive copper foil 140 is not easy to warp. Therefore, it is not necessary to limit the middle part of the conductive copper foil 140. In this case, the fixing member 150 is set to an annular structure, so that the middle part of the fixing member 150 is a hole-shaped structure, which can reduce the weight of the fixing member 150, thereby reducing the overall weight of the circuit board assembly 100. Moreover, it can also reduce the material consumption of the fixing member 150, thereby reducing the processing cost of the circuit board assembly 100.

[0046] Combined with Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a part of the fixing member 150 is attached to the conductive copper foil 140, and another part of the fixing member 150 is bonded to the shielding cover 130.

[0047] In this embodiment, it is defined that the fixing member 150 is fixed to the shielding cover 130 by adhesion. The fixing member 150 has a certain rigidity, so the fixing member 150 is not easily deformed, enabling the fixing member 150 to stably limit the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140. A part of the fixing member 150 is adhered to the shielding cover 130, and another part of the fixing member 150 is attached to the conductive copper foil 140. The fixing member 150 is stably fixed to the shielding cover 130 through the adhesive 170, making the position of the fixing member 150 relative to the shielding cover 130 not easily change, thereby ensuring that the fixing member 150 can stably abut against the conductive copper foil 140 and further stably limit the conductive copper foil 140.

[0048] Exemplarily, the fixing member 150 in this embodiment is PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), and in actual projects, the PET shape structure can be flexibly designed according to the shapes of the shielding cover 130 and the conductive copper foil 140. In this embodiment, the PET is attached to the shielding cover 130 through double-sided tape, forming a pre-pressing structure around the conductive copper foil 140 to reduce the risk of warping and crosstalk.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a plurality of positioning holes 151 are provided on the fixing member 150 for cooperation with a jig.

[0050] A plurality of positioning holes 151 are machined on the fixing member 150. When installing the fixing member 150, a jig can be used to pass through the positioning holes 151, and then the fixing member 150 is attached to the surfaces of the conductive copper foil 140 and the shielding cover 130 through the jig. By providing the positioning holes 151 on the fixing member 150, it is beneficial to improve the installation convenience of the fixing member 150.

[0051] Combined with Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a part of the fixing member 150 is attached to the conductive copper foil 140, and another part of the fixing member 150 is buckled with the shielding cover 130.

[0052] When the fixing member 150 is installed on the shielding cover 130 by buckling, a part of the fixing member 150 is attached to the shielding cover 130. The fixing member 150 is buckled with the shielding cover 130, making the position of the fixing member 150 relative to the shielding cover 130 not easily change, thereby ensuring that the fixing member 150 can stably abut against the conductive copper foil 140 and further stably limit the conductive copper foil 140.

[0053] Combined with Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in Figure 13 , in some embodiments, optionally, the shielding cover 130 includes a side wall 132 and a top wall 133. The side wall 132 is disposed on the circuit board 110, the top wall 133 is connected to the side wall 132, and the conductive copper foil 140 is disposed on the top wall 133. The fixing member 150 includes: a first fixing portion 152 and a second fixing portion 153. The first fixing portion 152 is disposed opposite to the top wall 133, and a part of the first fixing portion 152 is attached to the conductive copper foil 140. The second fixing portion 153 is connected to the first fixing portion 152, the second fixing portion 153 is disposed opposite to the side wall 132, and a fastening portion 154 is provided on one of the second fixing portion 153 and the side wall 132, and a fastening hole 134 is provided on the other, and the fastening portion 154 is fastened into the fastening hole 134.

[0054] The top wall 133 in the shielding cover 130 is connected to the side wall 132 in the shielding cover 130. The side wall 132 raises the top wall 133 above the functional component 120 so that there is no interference between the top wall 133 and the functional component 120.

[0055] The second fixing portion 153 is disposed opposite to the side wall 132. The second fixing portion 153 is mounted on the side wall 132 through a fastening structure. The first fixing portion 152 is connected to the second fixing portion 153, and the first fixing portion 152 is disposed opposite to the top wall 133, so that the first fixing portion 152 can be attached to the conductive copper foil 140. The fastening structure between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130 is disposed on their respective side portions. Therefore, the fastening structure does not occupy the space at the top of the shielding cover 130, avoiding the problem of excessive thickness of the circuit board assembly 100.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fastening portion 154 is provided on the second fixing portion 153, and the fastening hole 134 is provided on the side wall 132. In other embodiments, the fastening hole 134 can also be provided on the second fixing portion 153, and the fastening portion 154 can be provided on the side wall 132.

[0057] Combined with Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in Figure 13 , in some embodiments, optionally, the number of both the side wall 132 and the second fixing portion 153 is multiple. One second fixing portion 153 is disposed opposite to one side wall 132, and adjacent two second fixing portions 153 are spaced apart.

[0058] There are multiple side walls 132 in the shielding cover 130. In order to ensure that the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130 can be stably connected, there are also multiple second fixing parts 153 in the fixing member 150. A second fixing part 153 is correspondingly arranged on each side wall 132, so that there are multiple connection points between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130.

[0059] When the second fixing portion 153 is mounted on the side wall 132, the second fixing portion 153 needs to be moved so that the second fixing portion 153 is deformed relative to the first fixing portion 152 to a certain extent, so that the buckle portion 154 can be buckled into the buckle hole 134. Two adjacent second fixing portions 153 are arranged at intervals, that is, there is no connection between the two adjacent second fixing portions 153. When one second fixing portion 153 is moved, the adjacent second fixing portion 153 will not hinder the currently moved second fixing portion 153, thereby improving the installation convenience of the second fixing portion 153 and reducing the installation difficulty of the second fixing portion 153.

[0060] The outer shape structure of the fixing member 150 can be flexibly designed according to the outer shapes of the shielding cover 130 and the conductive copper foil 140 .

[0061] In this embodiment, three buckling parts 154 are provided on a second fixing part 153, and three buckling holes 134 are provided on a side wall 132. In other embodiments, the number of buckling parts 154 and buckling holes 134 can be adjusted according to actual project requirements.

[0062] Combination Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the fixing member 150 includes a fixing member body 155 and a flexible support member 156, the fixing member body 155 is buckled with the shielding cover 130, the flexible support member 156 is located between the fixing member body 155 and the conductive copper foil 140, the flexible support member 156 is attached to the conductive copper foil 140, and the flexible support member 156 is in a deformed state.

[0063] When the fixing member 150 is installed on the shielding cover 130, the fixing member body 155 is connected to the shielding cover 130, and a part of the flexible support member 156 is arranged between the fixing member body 155 and the conductive copper foil 140. The fixing member body 155 presses the conductive copper foil 140 through the flexible support member 156 to prevent the circumferential edge of the conductive copper foil 140 from warping.

[0064] When there is an assembly tolerance between the shielding cover 130 , the fixing member 150 and the circuit board 110 , a gap 160 may exist between the shielding cover 130 and the conductive copper foil 140 in the Z direction, and the conductive copper foil 140 may have a hidden danger of insufficient pre-compression.

[0065] To solve the problem of the gap caused by the accumulation of tolerances, in this embodiment, a layer of flexible support member 156 is mounted in the gap 160 between the shielding cover 130 and the fixing member body 155. The flexible support member 156 is soft in texture. Under the extrusion of the fixing member body 155, the flexible support member 156 can deform, so that the flexible support member 156 is in a deformed state. After the fixing member 150 is installed, the deformed flexible support member 156 can tightly adhere to the conductive copper foil 140. Furthermore, the flexible support member 156 can meet the requirement of pre-pressing the conductive copper foil 140 even under the maximum gap condition.

[0066] Exemplarily, the flexible support member 156 can be foam, rubber or silica gel.

[0067] The shape of the flexible support member 156 can be in a shape such as a square frame or a door shape according to the actual project design.

[0068] In some embodiments, optionally, the flexible support member 156 includes a conductive support member or a non-conductive support member.

[0069] The flexible support member 156 can be designed as a conductive support member or a non-conductive support member according to the actual project requirements. When there is a cavity structure between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130, there may be resonance waves inside the cavity structure. To eliminate the influence of the resonance waves, a conductive support member can be used to fill the space between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130. When it is determined that there are no resonance waves or the resonance waves are weak in the spatial structure, a non-conductive support member can also be selected to fill the space between the fixing member 150 and the shielding cover 130.

[0070] Combined Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a limiting groove 157 is provided on the fixing member body 155, and a part of the flexible support member 156 extends into the limiting groove 157.

[0071] At least a part of the flexible support member 156 is located between the fixing member body 155 and the conductive copper foil 140. When the electronic device drops or is impacted, the flexible support member 156 may move around under the action of vibration, resulting in unstable pre-pressing of the flexible support member 156 on the conductive copper foil 140. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is defined that a limiting groove 157 is provided on the fixing member body 155, and a part of the flexible support member 156 is embedded in the limiting groove 157. The limiting groove 157 positions the flexible support member 156. Even if the flexible support member 156 is affected by vibration, the flexible support member 156 is not likely to move relative to the conductive copper foil 140, realizing the positioning of the flexible support member 156 in the XYZ directions and ensuring stable pre-pressing of the flexible support member 156 on the conductive copper foil 140.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is provided, which includes the circuit board assembly in any of the above embodiments. The electronic device in this embodiment can achieve the technical effects of the circuit board assembly in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0073] In a possible application, the electronic device can be any one of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a camera, an e-book, and a smart wearable device.

[0074] In the description of this specification, the description referring to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "schematic embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
