Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0034] As described in the background art, the general LCD module is limited in space during assembly, the plug position and direction of the connecting end are not easy to control by the hand during the insertion process, and because the FPC connected at the tail of the connecting end is relatively soft, the area of the connecting end exposed outside after partial insertion is limited, the area contacted by the hand is not enough, and the insertion is not in place, which is easy to cause.

[0035] To solve the technical problem, the utility model provides a kind of for the plug-in FPC plug of LCD module, it is applied to LCD module.

[0036] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-5 The plug-in FPC plug for LCD module specifically includes:

[0037] LCD module 1, LCD FPC 2 is connected in the bottom of the LCD module 1;

[0038] PCB board 3 is installed to the back of the LCD module 1, and the surface of the PCB board 3 has connector 31 for being connected with LCD FPC 2;

[0039] One end of the LCD FPC 2 has connecting end 21, and rigid auxiliary piece 22 is located at the position close to connecting end 21 on the surface of the LCD FPC 2, and connecting end 21 can be inserted into the connector 31 under the action of rigid auxiliary piece 22.

[0040] The plug-in FPC plug for LCD module provided by the utility model increases rigid auxiliary piece 22 on the two sides of traditional LCD FPC 2, so that the contact area with hand is increased when connecting end 21 is inserted, the stability when taking is guaranteed, so as to improve the accuracy in the process of insertion, and simultaneously, since rigid auxiliary piece 22 is additionally and independently increased, no matter where connecting end 21 is inserted, effective contact area with the hand of operator can still be guaranteed, and since it is rigid design, the force of finger part can be effectively transmitted, so that it can be inserted in place, and rapid and effective plug-in assembly is realized.

[0041] To enable the personnel in the technical field to better understand the utility model scheme, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings below.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the utility model and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] It should be noted that: similar signs and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The plug-in FPC plug for LCD module includes: LCD module 1, LCD FPC 2 is connected in the bottom of the LCD module 1;

[0045] PCB board 3, which is mounted on the back of the LCD module 1, and the surface of the PCB board 3 has a connector 31 for connecting with the LCD FPC 2;

[0046] One end of the LCD FPC 2 has a connecting end 21, and the surface of the LCD FPC 2 near the connecting end 21 has a rigid auxiliary 22, which can make the connecting end 21 inserted into the connector 31 under the action of the rigid auxiliary 22;

[0047] The connecting end 21 has a certain structural strength because it is to be connected with the connector 31, while the LCD FPC 2 has a certain flexibility due to its own structural characteristics, so when the connecting end 21 is inserted into the connector 31, the connecting end 21 needs to be held to be inserted into the connector 31, and in this process, due to the small size of the connector 31, the contact area with the hand is not enough, which is easy to cause the situation of falling and difficult to align, at the same time, the fingers will also cause partial shielding to the surface of the connecting end 21, affecting the connection between the connecting end 21 and the connector 31, further increasing the difficulty of alignment assembly;

[0048] And when the connecting end 21 is partially inserted into the connector 31, the area of the connecting end 21 outside is further reduced, thereby further reducing the operable contact area of the fingers, which is easy to cause the situation of not being inserted in place, therefore, the rigid auxiliary 22 is provided in this embodiment to solve the assembly problem of the conventional LCD module, as follows:

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rigid auxiliary 22 includes side ears FPC 220, and the side ears FPC 220 has two, two side ears FPC 220 are distributed on both sides of the LCD FPC 2 and are integrally formed with the LCD FPC 2, and one end of the side ears FPC 220 extends outwardly with a holding part 221;

[0050] Through the design of the side ears FPC 220 and the holding part 221, the actual operable area of the connecting end 21 during insertion is increased, and in the actual operation process, the connecting end 21 can be taken by fingers on both sides of the side ears FPC 220 and the holding part 221 to realize the insertion of the connecting end 21 into the connector 31, so that the effective holding area of the operator's hand does not change no matter how much the connecting end 21 is inserted, thereby ensuring the stability during assembly and facilitating better alignment and assembly of the connecting end 21 into the connector 31;

[0051] Meanwhile, since the operator holds the two sides of the connecting end 21, direct contact with the connecting end 21 is avoided, so that the surface of the connecting end 21 is not blocked, and the visual field of the connecting end 21 and the connector 31 is fully displayed during assembly, which further facilitates alignment and plug-in assembly.

[0052] As a further optimization of the embodiment, the holding portion 221 is arranged in parallel with the outer side of the connecting end 21, and the connecting end 21 and the holding portion 221 are connected through the assembly gap 222. Through the design of the assembly gap 222, the insertion stroke of the connecting end 21 is not affected during insertion of the connecting end 21 into the connector 31. At the same time, through the design of the two holding portions 221, the connecting end 21 can be placed in the middle position, so that the operator can use the space formed by the two holding portions 221 to assist in judging the relative position between the connecting end 21 and the connector 31, and further improve the alignment efficiency during plug-in.

[0053] The plug-in FPC plug for the LCD module provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized, and specifically, as shown in Figure 4 the outer side of the holding portion 221 has an anti-slip convexity 224;

[0054] The surfaces of the side ear FPC 220, the holding portion 221, and the anti-slip convexity 224 are jointly connected with a reinforcing plate 223, and the two reinforcing plates 223 are close to each other at the bottom and are finally integrally connected;

[0055] As shown in Figure 4 Through the design of the reinforcing plate 223, the overall strength of the rigid auxiliary part 22 can be supported, so that the operator can ensure the overall strength when holding it, so as to facilitate the insertion of the connecting end 21 into the connector 31, and better uniformly transmit the force, promoting the insertion of the connecting end 21 into place.

[0056] As a further optimization of the embodiment, the anti-slip convexity 224 is triangular. Through the design of the triangular structure, when the operator's hand contacts the rigid auxiliary part 22, it has a certain anti-slip effect, so that it is not easy to slip when holding and inserting, and in actual application, the shape of the anti-slip convexity 224 can also be adaptively designed according to actual conditions.

[0057] The plug-in FPC plug for the LCD module provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 is further optimized, and specifically, as shown in Figure 2 the PCB board 3 has a mark line 32 printed above the connecting end 21.

[0058] The length of the mark line 32 is less than the interval between the two holding portions 221, and after the connecting end 21 is inserted into the connector 31, the end of the holding portion 221 is flush with the mark line 32 to assist installation;

[0059] When the LCD FPC 2 is inserted, the operator holds the anti-skid convex 224 on both sides of the holding portion 221, and then cooperates with the space range formed between the two holding portions 221 to assist the corresponding state between the connecting end 21 and the connector 31, and then inserts the connecting end 21 into the connector 31. Due to the effect of the reinforcing plate 223, the force can be fully transmitted when the connecting end 21 is inserted into the connector 31, and the insertion of the connecting end 21 into the connector 31 is promoted. During the insertion process, when the end of the holding portion 221 is flush with the mark line 33, it indicates that the connecting end 21 is in place, and the connection and installation of the LCD FPC 2 are completed.
