DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0025] Please refer to Figs. 1-4 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0026] A kind of tensile flexible circuit board, including flexible circuit board body 1 for signal transmission and power supply, flexible circuit board body 1 includes conductive layer 101 and insulating substrate layer 102, insulating substrate layer 102 is made of polyimide material, conductive layer 101 is installed on the upper surface of insulating substrate layer 102 by hot-pressing process, conductive layer 101 is made of copper foil, copper foil is calendered copper foil, the surface of conductive layer 101 is provided with circuit pattern using etching process, flexible circuit board body 1 also includes insulating surface layer 103, insulating surface layer 103 is coated on the surface of insulating substrate layer 102, conductive layer 101 is arranged between insulating substrate layer 102 and insulating surface layer 103, flexible circuit board body 1 also includes gold finger 104, the bottom of gold finger 104 is welded to conductive layer 101, and the top of gold finger 104 is arranged above insulating surface layer 103.
[0027] By setting flexible circuit board body 1, it can be bent, folded, wound, and can be arbitrarily moved and stretched in three-dimensional space, so as to adapt to the design requirements of electronic products of different shapes and space limitations, compared with traditional rigid circuit board, flexible circuit board is thinner and lighter, which helps to reduce the volume and weight of electronic products, improve the portability of products, and by using polyimide material to make insulating substrate layer 102, the overall tensile performance of flexible circuit board body 1 can be effectively improved due to the high tensile strength and heat resistance of polyimide material itself, and by using calendered copper foil, it has good flexibility and tensile strength, and has better tensile resistance than electrolytic copper foil, and by setting insulating surface layer 103, the circuit can be protected from the influence of external environment.
[0028] The corner of the insulating substrate layer 102 is provided with a reinforcing part 105, and the reinforcing part 105 is integrally formed with the insulating substrate layer 102.
[0029] By setting the reinforcing part 105, the acute angle or right angle at the corner of the insulating substrate layer 102 can be changed to an obtuse angle, which can effectively reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of fracture of the insulating substrate layer 102 from the corner, and by setting the positioning mounting hole 5, the flexible circuit board body 1 can be fixed on the shell of the equipment or other structure, to ensure the stability and reliability of the flexible circuit board body 1 during use, and through these positioning mounting holes 5, screws, rivets and other fasteners can be used to fix the flexible circuit board body 1 in the required position.
[0030] The reinforcing assembly also includes a plurality of reinforcing pieces 3, which are adhered to the reinforcing portions 105 at the corners of the insulating substrate layer 102 by glue.
[0031] The flexible circuit board body 1 may be subjected to various external tensile forces during use, such as pulling during installation, vibration during device operation, etc. By adhering the reinforcing ribs 2 to the lower surface of the insulating substrate layer 102 through the glue layer 4, additional tensile strength can be provided to prevent the flexible circuit board body 1 from deforming or breaking under tension. When the flexible circuit board body 1 needs to be bent or folded in a narrow space, the reinforcing ribs 2 can increase the rigidity of the bending portion, reduce the bending stress, and improve the bending resistance of the circuit board. For some flexible circuit board bodies 1 that need to be stacked and installed, the reinforcing ribs 2 can provide support to prevent the upper flexible circuit board body 1 from exerting excessive pressure on the lower flexible circuit board body 1, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire flexible circuit board body 1 assembly. By using metal fibers 201 that are intertwined in a spiral shape, the stress can be dispersed along the spiral line to the entire reinforcing rib 2 when subjected to tension, avoiding local stress concentration and thereby improving the tensile strength of the reinforcing rib 2. When the reinforcing rib 2 is subjected to uneven tension, the spiral structure can redistribute the stress between different spiral turns, making the overall stress on the reinforcing rib 2 more uniform. For a reinforcing rib 2 composed of multiple metal fibers 201, spiral winding can increase the friction and cohesion between the metal fibers 201, which are intertwined and pressed against each other, making them less likely to slide and separate under stress, thereby improving the overall strength of the reinforcing rib 2.
[0032] The reinforcing assembly also includes a plurality of reinforcing pieces 3, which are adhered to the reinforcing portions 105 at the corners of the insulating substrate layer 102 by glue.
[0033] The flexible circuit board body 1 itself is relatively soft, and the reinforcing pieces 3 can increase the rigidity of specific portions to prevent deformation when subjected to bending forces, reducing problems such as circuit breakage or poor connection caused by bending. For flexible circuit board bodies 1 that need to be bent multiple times in a narrow space, the reinforcing pieces 3 can ensure that they maintain a stable shape during bending, avoiding damage from excessive bending. The corners of the flexible circuit board body 1 are prone to pulling forces, and the reinforcing pieces 3 can share some of the tension to prevent the corners of the flexible circuit board body 1 from breaking due to excessive tension. During the manufacturing process of the flexible circuit board body 1, the reinforcing pieces 3 can increase the rigidity of the flexible circuit board body 1, making it easier to process and assemble.
