[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a touch screen 3 assembly structure, including an IC chip 4, a plurality of ejector pins 6, a mainboard 8 and a mounting shell 7. The IC chip 4 is located next to the touch screen 3 and on the first surface of the mounting shell 7. The IC chip 4 is electrically connected to the touch screen 3. The mainboard 8 is located on the second surface of the mounting shell 7. The first surface and the second surface are the top surface and the bottom surface of the mounting shell 7, respectively. The ejector pins 6 pass through the mounting shell 7 and abut against the IC chip 4 and the mainboard 8, respectively. The IC chip 4 is electrically connected to the mainboard 8 through the ejector pins 6.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 4As shown, the assembly structure of the touch screen 3 is equipped with a pin 6 on the mounting shell 7 to realize the intercommunication between the IC chip 4 and the main board 8. One end of the pin 6 abuts against the IC chip 4, and the other end of the pin 6 abuts against the main board 8, so that the IC chip 4 is electrically connected to the main board 8 through the pin 6, and the assembly of the touch screen 3 can be realized without punching the IC chip 4 and inserting it into the connector in reverse, and without punching holes in the main board 8, thereby reducing the cost of assembling the whole machine and improving the adaptability of assembling the touch screen 3.
[0028] Placing IC chip 4 near touch screen 3 helps reduce interference during signal transmission. A shorter signal path reduces noise and signal attenuation, thereby improving touch screen 3's touch response accuracy and stability. Optimizing response time: Placing IC chip 4 close to touch screen 3 shortens data transmission time, increases touch screen 3's response speed, and reduces touch delay. Placing IC chip 4 close to touch screen 3 simplifies internal wiring design and reduces circuit complexity, thereby lowering production costs and assembly difficulty. Improving power efficiency: Shorter power lines reduce voltage drop and power consumption, improving the system's overall power efficiency and extending the device's battery life. Placing IC chip 4 close to touch screen 3 reduces heat transfer across the circuit board, facilitating more efficient heat management and dissipation, and preventing overheating. Enhancing anti-interference capabilities: The compact structural design helps mitigate the effects of external electromagnetic interference and improves the device's anti-interference capabilities. Improving assembly reliability: The simplified design and shorter connecting cables improve assembly reliability and reduce the risk of poor contact or breakage. These advantages collectively enhance the performance, stability, and service life of touch screen 3.
[0029] In the prior art, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the four screws on the back of the touch screen 3 of the prior art need to be fixed in holes 1 on the touch screen 3 for installation, and the touch screen 3 needs to be mounted first, the IC 2 part of the prior art needs to be perforated, and the product needs to be turned over and inserted and pressed onto the connector. However, this method is not suitable for all touch screen 3 assemblies. The present application adopts a touch screen 3 pin 6 contact method, which not only solves the problem of first screwing in the touch screen 3 and then installing the touch screen 3, but also makes the touch screen 3 more space-saving, more cost-effective, and easier to assemble.
[0030] like Figure 6As shown, the motherboard 8 is provided with a corresponding number of contact surfaces 9 as the ejector pins 6, and the IC chip 4 is provided with a corresponding number of contact feed points 5 as the ejector pins 6. One end of the ejector pin 6 abuts against the contact feed point 5, and the other end of the ejector pin 6 abuts against the contact surface 9. Six gold fingers are exposed on the contact surface 9 of the motherboard 8. Using six double-headed ejector pins 6 for conduction, the ejector pins 6 and the IC chip 4 can be directly assembled to achieve conduction, solving product assembly problems and effectively reducing the need for vias and connector insertion in assembling the motherboard 8, thereby reducing the assembly cost of the entire machine.
[0031] The touch screen 3 IC chip 4 and six contact feeding points 5 are designed at the bottom. The feeding point size can be designed to be 3*2.2MM. The design of the contact feeding point 5 can effectively prevent the ejector pin 6 from deviating and having poor contact, which may lead to reactive power. The contact feeding point 5 is used to conduct with the six ejector pins 6. The ejector pins 6 are installed into the mounting shell 7 and fit tightly. The six contact surfaces 9 of the mainboard 8 are in contact with the six ejector pins 6 for conduction, thereby achieving mutual conduction between the IC chip 4 and the mainboard 8.
[0032] The mounting shell 7 is provided with a mounting hole 71, and some of the ejector pins 6 are located in the mounting hole 71. The mounting hole 71 is used to precisely align the IC chip 4 and the main board 8 to ensure that they fit correctly during assembly. This is very important for maintaining the stability and functionality of the overall device. The ejector pins 6 can help to firmly fix the IC chip 4 and the main board 8 in the correct position to prevent deviation or movement during the assembly process. Support and stability: During the assembly process, the mounting holes 71 provide additional support force, making the components more stable when being fixed, thereby improving the assembly quality and the durability of the overall structure. By providing clear assembly reference points, the mounting holes 71 can help improve the accuracy of assembly and reduce problems caused by incorrect component alignment.
[0033] The ejector pin 6 is integrally formed, and the integrally formed ejector pin 6 can more stably support and position the components, reducing deviation during assembly. The integrally formed design can provide better mechanical strength and durability.
[0034] The width of the first contact portion 62 and the second contact portion 63 of the ejector pin 6 is smaller than the width of the ejector pin 6 located in the mounting hole 71. The first contact portion 62 and the second contact portion 63 are located at both ends of the ejector pin 6. The narrower design makes it easier for the ejector pin 6 to be inserted and aligned with the hole position, thereby improving positioning accuracy. The first contact portion 62 and the second contact portion 63 reduce friction with the hole wall of the mounting hole 71, reduce wear and resistance, and extend the service life of the ejector pin 6. This design makes it easier to insert the ejector pin 6 during the assembly process while ensuring its good stability during operation. The wider middle design can provide better support, ensuring that the ejector pin 6 can effectively withstand and transmit force during operation.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the ejector pin 6 is provided with a limiting portion 61, which abuts against the mounting shell 7. The limiting portion 61 clamps part of the ejector pin 6 in the mounting hole 71. The limiting portion 61 can limit the insertion depth of the ejector pin 6 to prevent the ejector pin 6 from being over-inserted during the assembly process, thereby avoiding damage to other components; the limiting portion 61 helps ensure that the ejector pin 6 can be accurately positioned during the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the components; by limiting the insertion depth of the ejector pin 6, the limiting portion 61 can prevent the ejector pin 6 from exerting excessive pressure on the IC chip 4 or the mainboard 8 during operation, reducing the risk of equipment wear and damage; providing the limiting portion 61 can reduce the time for adjustment and inspection, thereby improving the efficiency of the assembly process; the limiting portion 61 can reduce the need for additional positioning devices, making the overall design more concise.
[0036] The width of the limiting portion 61 is greater than the width of the mounting hole 71 .
[0037] When the width of the limiting portion 61 is greater than the width of the mounting hole 71, it can ensure that the ejector pin 6 can be stably positioned in the hole during assembly to prevent displacement during operation; the limiting portion 61 with a larger width can disperse the pressure applied to the ejector pin 6, thereby reducing local wear and improving the durability of the entire component.
[0038] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
