[0034] Currently, as one of the core protection components of the battery used in devices such as digital products, the battery protection board is mainly used to protect the safety of the battery during charging and discharging and other states. Usually, a PCB circuit board integrates various protection devices, and then connects to the main board of the device and the ear of the battery respectively.

[0035] However, currently, the structural thickness of the PCB circuit board itself is mostly above 1 mm. After adding electrical connection structures and protection devices, the thickness will further increase, which easily occupies more installation space inside the product, resulting in limited battery capacity of the device used and being unfavorable for increasing the battery endurance.

[0036] In view of this, combined with Figures 1 to 7 ,the embodiment of the present application provides a battery protection board, aiming to overcome at least one of the above technical problems.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 ,a battery protection board includes a flexible circuit board 1, a first reinforcing member 2, a first connecting member 3, a protection device 4, and a second connecting member 5.

[0038] Among them, the flexible circuit board 1 has a first surface 10 and a second surface 11 which are oppositely arranged along its own thickness direction X. The first reinforcing member 2 is stacked on the first surface 10. The first connecting member 3 is arranged on the second surface 11 and is used to connect the battery ear. The protection device 4 is arranged on the flexible circuit board 1. The second connecting member 5 connects the flexible circuit board 1 and is used to connect the main board. In the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X, at least part of the orthographic projection of the first connecting member 3 is located within the orthographic projection of the first reinforcing member 2. The flexible circuit board 1 and the first reinforcing member 2 have a thickness a in the thickness direction X, satisfying: 0.3 mm ≤ a ≤ 0.6 mm.

[0039] Specifically, a can be any one of 0.3mm, 0.31mm, 0.32mm, 0.33mm, 0.34mm, 0.35mm, 0.36mm, 0.37mm, 0.38mm, 0.39mm, 0.4mm, 0.41mm, 0.42mm, 0.43mm, 0.44mm, 0.45mm, 0.46mm, 0.47mm, 0.48mm, 0.49mm, 0.5mm, 0.51mm, 0.52mm, 0.53mm, 0.54mm, 0.55mm, 0.56mm, 0.57mm, 0.58mm, 0.59mm, 0.6mm or a range value composed of any two of them.

[0040] It should be noted that in each embodiment of the present application, an intersecting thickness direction X and length direction Y are introduced. Among them, the thickness direction X is parallel to the overall thickness direction of the battery protection board in this embodiment, that is, parallel to the thickness direction of the flexible circuit board 1, and the length direction Y is parallel to the overall length direction of the battery protection board in this embodiment.

[0041] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the first connecting members 3 include a plurality of them, and the plurality of first connecting members 3 are spaced apart along the length direction Y, and at least two of the first connecting members 3 are connected to battery tabs with different polarities.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first reinforcing member 2 can be made of a sheet structure made of fiberglass material, metal material, etc. In order to ensure the stability of each first connecting member 3 connecting the corresponding tab, in this embodiment, the orthographic projection of each first connecting member 3 in the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X is located within the orthographic projection of the first reinforcing member 2 in the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X.

[0043] In other embodiments, the coverage range of the first reinforcing member 2 can also be flexibly adjusted to meet the structural strength requirements.

[0044] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the protection device 4 can be devices such as a protection chip, a transistor, an encryption chip, a current detection resistor, etc. The protection device 4 can be an overall formed by the integrated packaging of multiple devices. The protection principle of the protection device 4 is prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0045] By setting the main body of the battery protection board as the flexible circuit board 1, integrating the protection device 4 on the flexible circuit board 1, improving the local structural stiffness of the flexible circuit board 1 through the first reinforcing member 2, ensuring the connection stability between the first connecting member 3 and the battery tab, and at the same time setting the overall thickness of the flexible circuit board 1 and the first reinforcing member 2 between 0.3mm and 0.6mm, it is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the overall battery protection board, thereby reducing the space occupation.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer toFigure 1 The battery protection board further includes a second reinforcing member 6, which is stacked on the flexible circuit board 1 in the thickness direction X. In a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X, at least a part of the orthographic projection of the protection device 4 is located within the orthographic projection of the second reinforcing member 6.

[0047] Specifically, the second reinforcing member 6 can be made of the same material as the first reinforcing member 2. To ensure the stability of each first connecting member 3 connecting the corresponding ear, in this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the protection device 4 in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X is entirely located within the orthographic projection of the second reinforcing member 6 in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X.

[0048] It should be noted that in some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 the second reinforcing member 6 is stacked on the first surface 10, and the protection device 4 is disposed on the second surface 11. At this time, since the second reinforcing member 6 is made of the same material as the first reinforcing member 2, the structural thicknesses of the first reinforcing member 2 and the second reinforcing member 6 are approximately the same, and the overall thickness change of the flexible circuit board 1, the first reinforcing member 2, and the second reinforcing member 6 compared to only setting the first reinforcing member 2 can be ignored.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 the second reinforcing member 6 can also be disposed on the same side of the flexible circuit board 1 as the protection device 4. Figure 3 The second reinforcing member 6 shown in

[0050] is disposed on the second surface 11. It should be noted that at this time, the second reinforcing member 6 can be a substrate for encapsulating the protection device 4, and the protection device 4 can be multiple chips such as protection chips and encryption chips using COB (Chip-on-Board) packaging, and this substrate is the substrate for chip mounting. Figure 3 In some embodiments, referring to

[0051] the flexible circuit board 1, the first reinforcing member 2, and the second reinforcing member 6 have a thickness b in the thickness direction X, satisfying: 0.3 mm ≤ b ≤ 0.6 mm.

[0052] The first reinforcing member 2 and the second reinforcing member 6 are disposed on different sides of the flexible circuit board 1. To ensure the consistency of the overall thickness of the battery protection board, the value of b is also set between 0.3 mm and 0.6 mm to reduce the space occupied by the overall battery protection board.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 7 , the second connecting member 5 is stacked on the second surface 11 in the thickness direction X. Relying on the flexible material characteristics of the flexible circuit board 1, the second connecting member 5 can be bent along with the flexible circuit board 1 to adaptively connect to the device main board.

[0054] In addition, to improve the structural stiffness of the region where the second connecting member 5 is disposed and enhance the stability of the connection between the second connecting member 5 and the main board, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the battery protection board further includes a third reinforcing member 7. The third reinforcing member 7 is stacked on the first surface 10 in the thickness direction X. In a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X, at least a part of the orthographic projection of the second connecting member 5 is located within the orthographic projection of the third reinforcing member 7. Specifically, in this embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X, the orthographic projection of the second connecting member 5 coincides with the orthographic projection of the third reinforcing member 7. In other embodiments, the structures of the two can also be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0055] In addition, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 7 , there may also be multiple second connecting members 5, and the multiple second connecting members 5 are distributed along the length direction Y of the flexible circuit board 1. In this embodiment, it is shown that the flexible circuit board 1 is connected with two second connecting members 5, and the two second connecting members 5 respectively correspond to the two ends of the flexible circuit board 1 in the length direction Y. As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and so on, in the length direction Y, the protection device 4 is located between the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 5. Corresponding to each second connecting member 5 on the flexible circuit board 1, a third reinforcing member 7 is provided.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , two types of battery protection boards are respectively shown.

[0057] Among them, referring to Figure 4 , the protection device 4 includes a first protection device 40 and a second protection device 41. The first protection device 40 is disposed on the second surface 11, and the first protection device 40 is opposite to the second reinforcing member 6 in the thickness direction X. The second protection device 41 is disposed on the second surface 11, and the second protection device 41 is opposite to the first reinforcing member 2 in the thickness direction X.

[0058] Figure 7 The battery protection board shown inFigure 4 The differences are as follows: The first protection device 40 is disposed on the first surface 10, and the second protection device is disposed on the second surface 11. That is to say, the protection device 4 can be disposed not only on one surface of the flexible circuit board 1. At the same time, in the length direction Y, the positions of the protection devices 4 can also be adjusted flexibly, which will not be elaborated here. The first protection device 40 can be a protection chip, a transistor, etc., and the second protection device 41 can be an encryption chip, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] In addition, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the protection device 4 can also be wholly disposed on the first surface 10, and in the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X, the orthographic projection of the protection device 4 is located within the orthographic projection of the second reinforcing member 6. In this embodiment, the orthographic projections of the two coincide, and in other embodiments, it can also be adjusted flexibly according to needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] Correspondingly, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes the above-mentioned battery protection board. The electronic device can be a product such as a computer, a mobile phone, a digital camera, etc. It can be understood that the electronic device can have all the technical features and corresponding beneficial effects of the above-mentioned battery protection board, which will not be elaborated here.

[0061] The above has introduced in detail a battery protection board and an electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application, and specific examples have been used to elaborate the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the technical solution and its core idea of the present application; those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
