Figure 5 The structure schematic diagram of the copper mesh of FPC board provided for the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-5The embodiment of the application provides a FPC soft wire board connecting structure, which can include a PCB board 1 and a FPC board 2, the FPC board 2 is attached to one side of the PCB board 1 and one end extends out of the PCB board 1 along a first direction, the end of the FPC board 2 extending out of the PCB board 1 is provided with a plug-in terminal, and the first direction is the same as the length direction of the FPC board 2; wherein the FPC board 2 can include a first insulating layer 21, a first conductive layer 22, a substrate 23, a second conductive layer 24 and a second insulating layer 25 which are sequentially stacked, and the first insulating layer 21 is located on the side of the second insulating layer 25 away from the PCB board 1; in the first direction, a fixed notch 211 and a first notch 212 are arranged on one edge of the first insulating layer 21, and when the FPC board 2 is not bent, the first notch 212 is located on the side of the fixed notch 211 away from the plug-in terminal; the fixed notch 211 and the first notch 212 are both provided with soldering tin connected with the PCB board 1, and the first conductive layer 22 is electrically connected with the PCB board 1 through the soldering tin at the first notch 212.
[0032] The FPC soft wire board connecting structure provided by the embodiment of the application adds a fixed notch 211 on the first insulating layer 21 for fixing the FPC board 2 and the PCB board 1 through soldering tin, and a first notch 212 is used for electrically connecting the first conductive layer 22 and the PCB board 1 through soldering tin, and when the FPC board 2 is not bent, the first notch 212 is located on the side of the fixed notch 211 away from the plug-in terminal; thus when the FPC board 2 is plugged through the plug-in terminal, the position most easily subjected to force is the position of the fixed notch 211, only the fixed notch 211 is arranged on the first insulating layer 21, and the second insulating layer 25 is in a complete state, so that the structural strength of the position of the FPC board 2 easily subjected to tearing is improved, and the FPC board 2 can be prevented from being torn in the plugging process.
[0033] It should be understood that the first direction is the X direction, the second direction is the Y direction, the FPC board 2 in the application is a double-sided FPC, so that the FPC board 2 is mainly subjected to force by the first insulating layer 21 and the second insulating layer 25, and only the fixed notch 211 is arranged on the first insulating layer 21 in the application, so that the structural strength of the position of the FPC board 2 easily subjected to tearing is effectively improved.
[0034] wherein, Figure 2 In the figure, the black square covering the fixed notch 211 and the first notch 212 represents soldering tin, and it can be known that the first conductive layer 22 is electrically connected with the PCB board 1 through the soldering tin at the first notch 212.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 In the example embodiment, the first notch 212 has a plurality of first notches 212; and when the FPC board 2 is not bent, each first notch 212 is located on the side of the fixed notch 211 away from the plug-in terminal.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, there can be two first notches 212, both of which are located on the side of the fixed notch 211 away from the plug-in terminal. When the FPC board 2 is connected to the PCB board 1, the FPC board 2 has a plug-in end and a fixed end. The plug-in end can be bent for plugging operation, and the fixed end is connected to the PCB board 1. The fixed notch 211 is located at the junction of the plug-in end and the fixed end. Therefore, the fixed notch 211 is the most likely to tear, which keeps the second insulating layer 25 intact at this location and can effectively improve the structural strength of the FPC board 2 at the fixed notch 211.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment, the first conductive layer 22 is separated from the fixing notch 211, that is, the circuit on the first conductive layer 22 bypasses the fixing notch 211, ensuring that the solder at the fixing notch 211 will not contact the circuit in the first conductive layer 22.
[0038] refer to Figure 3 In an exemplary embodiment, a substrate notch 231 is formed on the substrate 23, which is opposite to the first notch 212 in a second direction, and the second direction is the same as the thickness direction of the PCB board 1; a second notch 251 is formed on the second insulating layer 25, which is opposite to the first notch 212 in a second direction.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, when soldering is performed at the first notch 212, the solder will flow to the substrate notch 231 and the second notch 251. This increases the contact area between the solder and the FPC board 2 and the PCB board 1, making the connection tighter and thus improving the stability of the connection between the FPC board 2 and the PCB board 1.
[0040] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment, the second conductive layer 24 is separated from the substrate notch 231, that is, the circuit on the second conductive layer 24 bypasses the first notch 212, ensuring that the solder at the first notch 212 will not contact the circuit in the second conductive layer 24.
[0041] Among them, such as Figure 5 The circuit on the second conductive layer 24 shown is a copper mesh. The copper mesh can effectively absorb and reflect external electromagnetic waves, reducing the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the circuit. In addition, the copper mesh can prevent electromagnetic waves generated by the internal circuit from radiating outward, reducing interference to other electronic devices.
[0042] Furthermore, the edges of the fixed notch 211, the first notch 212, the substrate notch 231, and the second notch 251 are all arc-shaped, so that the solder flows more evenly when it flows, and it is easier to process the arc-shaped notches.
[0043] Reference Figures 1-4 In the example embodiment, the FPC soft wire board connecting structure can further comprise a tear-proof line 3 arranged on the second conductive layer 24; wherein a normal projection of the tear-proof line 3 on the substrate 23 is a first projection, a normal projection of the fixed notch 211 on the substrate 23 is a second projection, and the first projection partially overlaps the second projection.
[0044] If the first projection partially overlaps the second projection, when the fixed notch 211 is stressed, the tear-proof line first bears the load, further increasing the structural strength at the fixed notch 211 to prevent tearing at the fixed notch 211.
[0045] Wherein, the first projection partially overlapping the second projection can be understood as the first projection passing through the second projection along a first direction.
[0046] Of course, the first projection can also be located at the outer periphery of the second projection, so that when a slight tear occurs at the fixed notch 211, the tear-proof line 3 can prevent the FPC board from further tearing.
[0047] Further, the tear-proof line 3 can be arranged along the edge of the substrate 23 in a ring shape; the circuit on the first conductive layer 22 and the copper mesh are located at the inner periphery of the tear-proof line 3, thereby effectively preventing the circuit or copper mesh on the first conductive layer 22 from being damaged due to tearing.
[0048] It should be understood that the circuit on the first conductive layer 22 being located at the inner periphery of the tear-proof line 3 can be understood as the normal projection of the circuit on the first conductive layer 22 on the substrate 23 forming a first area, the normal projection of the tear-proof line 3 on the substrate 23 forming a second area, and the second area covering the first area; of course, if the circuit on the first conductive layer 22 is connected to the first notch, the first area is in contact with the substrate notch 231, and the contact area is located outside the second area.
[0049] Further, the tear-proof line 3 is a metal material, for example, can be copper.
[0050] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
