Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted displays, in particular to a low-cost vehicle-mounted circuit board grounding structure. Background Art

[0002] ESD trends in automotive displays are primarily reflected in the continuous improvement of ESD protection technology and the expansion of its application scope. As automotive display technology continues to advance, the size and complexity of displays increase, placing increasing demands on ESD protection. ESD protection technology for automotive displays is constantly evolving. To protect the automotive multimedia system head unit from electrostatic discharge, ESD protection diodes are required to protect the multimedia system head unit's I / O ports from damage. Traditional discrete ESD diode designs suffer from limited circuit board space and interference issues, necessitating the adoption of new protection solutions to ensure system stability and reliability.

[0003] At the same time, the application scope of ESD protection for automotive displays is continuously expanding. As automotive displays increase in size and complexity, ESD protection technology is being applied not only to traditional interfaces like USB and HDMI, but also to new display technologies like OLED display modules. For example, OLED display modules are increasingly widely used in the automotive field. To ensure display stability, manufacturers typically perform ESD simulation tests on display modules to ensure stable operation in the complex electromagnetic environment of the vehicle.

[0004] Future development trends show that with the rapid development of electric vehicles and smart cars, the size and complexity of in-vehicle displays will continue to increase, and the requirements for ESD protection technology will also be higher. Otherwise, malfunctions such as screen flickering, black screen, and even freeze will occur.

[0005] Traditional solutions to anti-static issues for display screens involve using metal shrapnel or conductive cotton between the printed circuit board (PCB), the PCB, and the metal bracket to quickly conduct static electricity generated on the display screen through the metal bracket. However, this solution increases material and production costs. Furthermore, the PCB needs to be fixed to the die-cast housing with screws, further increasing material and production costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues with the existing technology, the present invention provides a low-cost grounding structure for automotive circuit boards. To address these issues, further reduce material and production costs, and enhance product competitiveness, we propose a low-cost grounding structure for automotive circuit boards. The bent contact piece is directly stamped and bent onto a metal bracket. Leveraging its high elasticity, it contacts the solder paste on the printed circuit board surface, quickly dissipating static electricity generated on the display screen without incurring additional costs. This solution reduces material and manufacturing costs and enhances product competitiveness.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a low-cost on-board circuit board grounding structure, comprising a display screen module, polyurethane hot melt adhesive, a backlight module, a printed circuit board, solder paste, a metal bracket, and a bent contact sheet, wherein the display screen module comprises a glass cover plate, liquid optical adhesive, and a display screen, and the backlight module comprises a die-cast rear shell, a light guide plate, a backlight diaphragm, and an LED light board. The display screen has touch and display functions, and to reduce costs and product thickness, the glass cover plate is optically bonded to the display screen via liquid optical adhesive to form the display screen module; the metal bracket is fixed to the back of the die-cast rear shell by screws, and the front of the die-cast rear shell is sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside with a light guide plate and a backlight diaphragm, and an LED light board is arranged between the light guide plate and the die-cast rear shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the display screen module and the backlight module are bonded and fixed by polyurethane hot melt adhesive. Polyurethane hot melt adhesive has the advantages of strong adhesion and adaptability to automated production, and has been used in display screen bonding in batches.

[0009] Furthermore, the metal bracket is made of galvanized sheet material, and the bent contact piece is directly stamped from the metal bracket, eliminating the need for grounding springs or conductive cotton. It directly supports the solder paste on the printed circuit board, quickly conducting away the static electricity generated on the surface of the display screen, thereby improving product reliability and reducing material and production costs.

[0010] Furthermore, the die-cast back shell material is magnesium alloy, which has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, fast heat dissipation, and easy molding. At the same time, there is a boss on the back to support the printed circuit board, and the printed circuit board is clamped with the bent contact piece on the metal bracket, eliminating the screw fixation, reducing material and manufacturing costs, and thus improving the product's market competitiveness.

[0011] Furthermore, the light guide plate is made of PMMA material.

[0012] Furthermore, the backlight film includes a reflective film, a diffusion film, and a brightness enhancement film, and the lamination order is the reflective film, the diffusion film, and the brightness enhancement film.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. Unlike traditional static dissipation methods such as grounding shrapnel or conductive cotton, this patented device utilizes a metal bracket to directly stamp and form a bent contact piece. This bent contact piece contacts the solder paste on the printed circuit board, quickly dissipating static electricity from the display, reducing the transfer path and increasing the speed of static dissipation. Furthermore, by eliminating the grounding shrapnel and conductive cotton, material and manufacturing costs are reduced, enhancing the product's market competitiveness.

[0015] 2. This patented printed circuit board fixing method adopts a double-layer clamping structure, using the protrusions on the back of the die-cast rear shell and the bent contact pieces of the metal bracket to clamp the printed circuit board. This can eliminate the traditional screw fixing method and improve production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
