[0003] The thickness of the line board of the existing vehicle camera is thick, and it is not necessary to reinforce under the conventional design, but the line board is easy to deform under the influence of temperature, which leads to the decline of the flatness of the line board, thereby leading to the temperature drift problem of the vehicle camera, and affecting the imaging of the vehicle camera.

[0004] In order to improve the flatness of the line board, the steel sheet can be increased to reinforce, and there are two ways to reinforce the line board at present, one scheme is to bond the steel sheet on the back of the conventional line board by using glue, which will increase the thickness of the line board, and after reinforcing the steel sheet, the back of the line board cannot be SMT pasted, and the line board of the vehicle camera on the market is mostly double-sided SMT pasted piece, and reinforcing the steel sheet on the back of the line board will reduce the position of the SMT pasting of the line board, increase the volume of the line board, and is not conducive to the miniaturization of the line board. Another scheme is to embed a steel sheet with the same area in the line board, but the line board made by the scheme is easy to have the problem of difficult plate separation due to the difficulty in cutting the steel sheet, and the line board is easy to deform and cannot rebound under the influence of stress, which leads to the deterioration of the flatness.

[0032] Based on the existing line board, the deformation caused by the temperature influence leads to the problem of poor flatness, the application provides a kind of line board assembly and vehicle-mounted camera. The line board assembly is embedded in the part of the chip patch area of the line board by reinforcing sheet, which does not affect the thickness of the line board, and can reduce the deformation of the chip patch area of the line board caused by temperature influence, thereby solving the temperature drift problem of vehicle-mounted camera.

[0033] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 The application provides a kind of line board assembly, the line board 10 and reinforcing sheet 20, the front and / or back of the line board 10 has chip patch area 11, the reinforcing sheet 20 is embedded in the line board 10, the size of the reinforcing sheet 20 is greater than the size of the chip patch area 11, and the size of the reinforcing sheet 20 is less than the size of the line board 10, the position of the reinforcing sheet 20 corresponds to the chip patch area 11, to strengthen the structure of the line board 10 in the chip patch area 11. In other words, the projection area of the chip patch area 11 on the front or back of the line board 10 is located in the projection area of the reinforcing sheet 20 on the front or back of the line board 10.

[0034] It can be understood that the circuit board assembly will embed the reinforcing sheet 20 in the circuit board 10, by controlling the size of the reinforcing sheet 20, so that the reinforcing sheet 20 can cover the chip mounting area 11, using the structural strength of the reinforcing sheet 20 to strengthen the part of the chip mounting area 11 of the circuit board 10, which can reduce the deformation of the chip mounting area 11 affected by temperature, thereby improving the flatness of the circuit board 10. In addition, since the size of the steel sheet is smaller than the size of the circuit board 10, there is no stress on the steel sheet when the circuit board 10 is profiled, thereby avoiding stress during cutting to deform the circuit board 10.

[0035] More specifically, as shown in Figure 1 In some embodiments, since the circuit board 10 adopts a double-sided SMT mounting structure, a via hole 12 is usually provided on the circuit board 10 to enable the circuit elements on the front and back surfaces of the circuit board 10 to be connected. However, since the drill used to drill the via hole 12 cannot drill the reinforcing sheet 20, the reinforcing sheet 20 of the present application is provided with a plurality of avoiding holes 21, and the circuit board 10 is provided with a plurality of via holes 12 passing through the avoiding holes 21, and the diameter of the via hole 12 is smaller than that of the avoiding hole 21. In other words, before the reinforcing sheet 20 is embedded in the circuit board 10, the avoiding holes 21 can be pre-drilled on the reinforcing sheet 20 according to the actual hole design of the circuit board 10, and then the via holes 12 are drilled on the circuit board 10 after the reinforcing sheet 20 is embedded in the circuit board 10. The size difference between the avoiding hole 21 and the via hole 12 can be used as a processing allowance to avoid the drill bit of the drill contacting the reinforcing sheet 20 when drilling the via hole 12.

[0036] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 In one embodiment, the axis of the via hole 12 coincides with the axis of the avoiding hole 21. In this way, the gap between the via hole 12 and the avoiding hole 21 is equal, so that the processing allowance around the via hole 12 is uniform, avoiding the drill bit of the drill contacting the reinforcing sheet 20 when drilling the via hole 12 due to insufficient allowance on one side of the via hole 12.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 2 In some embodiments, the circuit board 10 includes a plurality of laminated board bodies 13 and an adhesive layer 14, the adhesive layer 14 is arranged between the laminated board bodies 13, and the reinforcing sheet 20 is arranged between two adjacent laminated board bodies 13, and the laminated board bodies 13 are arranged in compression.

[0038] It can be understood that when the circuit board assembly is manufactured, the circuit board 10 can be formed by laminating the plurality of laminated board bodies 13 and the adhesive layer 14, and when the reinforcing sheet 20 is embedded between two laminated board bodies 13, the thickness of the part of the circuit board 10 in the chip mounting area 11 will inevitably be increased, but the circuit board assembly of the present application can utilize the fluidity and deformability of the adhesive layer 14 to make the thickness of the part of the circuit board 10 in the chip mounting area 11 thinner, and the thickness of other parts of the circuit board 10 thicker, thereby keeping the overall thickness of the circuit board 10 consistent, and making the circuit board 10 have a thinner overall thickness while having a better flatness.

[0039] Preferably, in one embodiment, the total thickness of the laminated board body 13 and the adhesive layer 14 on the front surface of the reinforcing sheet 20 is equal to the total thickness of the laminated board body 13 and the adhesive layer 14 on the back surface of the reinforcing sheet 20. In other words, by controlling the number of laminated board bodies 13 and adhesive layers 14 on the front surface and the back surface of the reinforcing sheet 20 to be equal or similar, embedding the reinforcing sheet 20 in the middle of the circuit board 10, and keeping the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing sheet 20 on the front surface and the back surface of the circuit board 10 consistent, the front surface and the back surface of the circuit board 10 can both have a better flatness.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the circuit board 10 includes but is not limited to a polyethylene board (PP board) or a copper-clad board (FR4 board).

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, the reinforcing sheet 20 includes but is not limited to a steel sheet or a copper sheet. The thermal expansion coefficient of the steel sheet and the copper sheet is lower than that of the polyethylene board or the copper-clad board, and the steel sheet and the copper sheet have better rigidity and processability, and are suitable for being embedded in the circuit board 10 as the reinforcing sheet 20. In addition, other materials with a small thermal expansion coefficient, good rigidity and processability can also be made into the reinforcing sheet 20 embedded in the circuit board 10.

[0042] Preferably, in one of the embodiments, the thickness of the reinforcing sheet 20 can be adjusted according to the actual thickness of the circuit board 10, but the thickness of the reinforcing sheet 20 is preferably greater than or equal to 0.25 mm, so as to ensure that the reinforcing sheet 20 has sufficient structural strength to ensure the flatness of the circuit board 10.

[0043] Preferably, in one of the embodiments, since the circuit board 10 of the vehicle-mounted camera is mostly rectangular, and the chip mounting area 11 is also arranged in a rectangular structure as much as possible, the shape of the reinforcing sheet 20 of the present application is preferably rectangular, so as to ensure that the reinforcing sheet 20 can cover the entire chip mounting area 11 with a smaller area.

[0044] Exemplarily, the circuit board assembly of the present application is further described below in combination with a specific example of flatness test. As shown in FIG. 6, the flatness test is performed on the circuit board 10 of the vehicle-mounted camera. Figure 3The flatness test area division schematic diagram of the specific example of the circuit board assembly of the present application is shown, the example circuit board assembly is divided into 9 test areas, and the 3D flatness test is performed on the example circuit board 10, and the test results are as follows Figure 4 The 3D flatness schematic diagram of the flatness test of the specific example of the circuit board assembly of the present application is shown, and the specific data measured is shown in the following table.

[0046] From the data in the table, the standard deviation values of the height differences of each area of the circuit board assembly of the present application are all less than 0.01mm, the normal distribution 3σ of the height differences of each area is within 0.03, and therefore the example circuit board assembly has good flatness.

[0047] Further, the present application provides a vehicle-mounted camera, which can include a camera main body and the circuit board assembly as described in any of the above, and the circuit board assembly is installed in the camera main body.
