Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electronics, and in particular relates to a solution for pressing an FPC on a connector on a mainboard. Background Art
[0002] BTB connectors, short for board-to-board connectors, are used to connect circuit boards. They connect and disconnect circuit boards by plugging and unplugging them, interconnecting boards with different functions. BTB connectors are widely used in electronic products and are a crucial connector for electronic components.
[0003] Currently, mobile terminals are becoming thinner and thinner, the space reserved for the casing is becoming smaller, and the casing thickness also needs to be made thinner. For the convenience of assembly, a BTB connector is required on the motherboard, and the FPC (flexible printed circuit board) buckled on the BTB needs to be compacted to prevent it from loosening when it falls or is vibrated. The commonly used BTB connector compaction solution uses the casing as a rib to press on the FPC reinforcement, and screw holes are reserved on both sides of the BTB connector, and the screws are locked at both ends to tighten. The problem caused by this solution is that screw holes need to be added to the motherboard, which takes up the motherboard space and has a great impact on the layout and routing of the motherboard. Based on this problem, the solution is to put fewer or no screw holes on both sides of the BTB connector on the motherboard.
[0004] Therefore, the utility model adopts a patch bracket, which does not occupy the mainboard space, can be assembled quickly and conveniently, and can press the FPC on the BTB connector tightly without loosening. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the problems raised by the above background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution for pressing the FPC on the connector on the motherboard, which does not take up the motherboard space, can be assembled quickly and conveniently, and can press the FPC on the BTB connector tightly without loosening.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solutions adopted by this utility model are as follows:
[0007] A scheme for pressing an FPC onto a connector on a motherboard includes a bracket, a pressure plate, a patch, and a BTB connector. The BTB connector is provided with a patch on one side and a bracket on the other side. The pressure plate is detachable and has a special-shaped structure. The pressure plate includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is connected to the bracket, and the second connecting portion is connected to the patch.
[0008] The invention is further defined as including a mounting hole, wherein the mounting hole is provided on the pressing plate. With such a structural design, the mounting hole can be provided to fix the pressing plate again to prevent the pressing plate from being displaced.
[0009] It is further defined that the mounting hole is a screw hole. With such a structural design, the provision of the screw hole can facilitate the installation of additional screws at this position, thereby enabling the pressure plate to be locked.
[0010] The invention further defines that the bracket and patch are both mounted on an FPC, and the bracket and patch each form a connecting groove with the FPC, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are both connected by the connecting groove. This structural design, through the connecting groove formed by the bracket and patch and the FPC, allows the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to be restrained by the groove, preventing displacement.
[0011] Furthermore, the bracket and patch are arranged at a 90° angle or in a straight line. This structural design allows for flexible use of both mounting methods based on the motherboard layout. Furthermore, the size of the bracket and patch can be designed to fit within the motherboard space without affecting the motherboard layout.

[0030] Preferably, the mounting hole 5 is a screw hole. Such a structural design and the provision of the screw hole can facilitate the installation of additional screws at this position, so that the pressing plate 2 can be locked.
[0031] Preferably, the bracket 1 and patch 3 are both mounted on an FPC, and each of the bracket 1 and patch 3 forms a connecting groove with the FPC, through which the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 are connected. This structural design allows the bracket 1 and patch 3 to form a connecting groove with the FPC, so that the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 can be restrained by the groove, preventing displacement.
[0032] Preferably, the bracket 1 and patch 3 are arranged at a 90° angle or in a straight line. With this structural design, both installation methods can be flexibly used according to the layout of the motherboard. In addition, the size of the bracket 1 and patch 3 can be designed according to the space on the motherboard without affecting the layout of the motherboard.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] The utility model arranges a bracket 1 and a patch 3 on the FPC, and the bracket 1 and the patch 3 are arranged at a vertical angle of 90 degrees or in a straight line, which can be flexibly used according to the layout of the motherboard. Then, a special-shaped pressing plate 2 is placed on the BTB connector 4 to press the FPC, and the bracket 1 and the patch 3 respectively form a connecting groove with the FPC. The pressing plate 2 is provided with a first connecting portion 6 and a second connecting portion 7. The first connecting portion 6 at one end is connected to the connecting groove of the bracket 1, and then the second connecting portion 7 is connected to the connecting groove of the patch 3. Finally, a screw is inserted into the mounting hole 5 for secondary fixation.
[0035] In summary, this solution avoids drilling holes on the motherboard that affect layout and routing, and solves the problem of pressing the BTB connector and FPC together in a limited space. Secondly, this solution does not occupy motherboard space, can be assembled quickly and conveniently, and can press the FPC on the BTB connector tightly without loosening.
