Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0028] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] This invention provides a fingerprint module that avoids damage to the gold finger, comprising a module body and an FPC disposed below the module body. A reinforcing steel sheet is disposed on the lower surface of the FPC, and a gold finger is disposed on the lower surface of the end of the FPC. A first reinforcing plate is disposed on the upper surface of the FPC located at the gold finger, and a second reinforcing plate is disposed above the first reinforcing plate. The second reinforcing plate is shorter than the first reinforcing plate and forms a step. The height of the second reinforcing plate is equal to the height of the connector that is inserted into the gold finger.

[0030] The step is formed by the second reinforcing plate, and the height of the second reinforcing plate is equal to the height of the connector that the gold finger is inserted into. When the gold finger is inserted into the connector, the second reinforcing plate can be used to limit the movement, so as to avoid excessive force or misalignment during actual operation, thereby improving operating efficiency and reducing the possibility of damage to the FPC gold finger.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This invention provides a fingerprint module to prevent damage to the gold finger 4. It includes a module body 1 and an FPC 2 disposed below the module body 1. A reinforcing steel sheet 3 is provided on the lower surface of the FPC 2, and a gold finger 4 is provided on the lower surface of the end of the FPC 2. A first reinforcing plate 5 is provided on the upper surface of the FPC 2 at the gold finger 4, and a second reinforcing plate 6 is provided above the first reinforcing plate 5. The second reinforcing plate 6 is shorter than the first reinforcing plate 5, forming a step, and its height is equal to the height of the connector 100 into which the gold finger 4 is inserted. Because the second reinforcing plate 6 forms a step, and its height is equal to the height of the connector 100, when the gold finger 4 is inserted into the connector 100, the second reinforcing plate 6 can limit its movement, preventing excessive force or misalignment during operation, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing the possibility of damage to the gold finger 4 of the FPC 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the distance between the end of the second reinforcing plate 6 and the end of the gold finger 4 is equal to the designed insertion depth of the gold finger 4. The second reinforcing plate 6 is rectangular in shape to ensure that when the gold finger 4 is inserted into the connector 100, the second reinforcing plate 6 can be used for limiting, so as to avoid excessive force and misalignment during actual operation.

[0034] Furthermore, the height of the second reinforcing plate 6 is 1±0.1mm, and the width of the second reinforcing plate 6 is 3±0.3mm.

[0035] Furthermore, the first reinforcing plate 5 and the second reinforcing plate 6 are made of PI material, and the fire-resistant material grade of the first reinforcing plate 5 and the second reinforcing plate 6 is FR-4, which has a high cost performance.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer surface of the second reinforcing plate 6 is provided with a surface treatment layer that increases surface roughness. This surface treatment layer is a diamond knurled or frosted layer, so as to provide sufficient friction when inserting the gold finger 4 and reduce the difficulty of insertion and removal.

[0037] Example 2, please refer to Figure 6 As a further optimization of Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, extension portions 7 are provided on both sides of the second reinforcing plate 6. Insertion and removal can be performed through the extension portions 7 to improve the efficiency and effect of insertion and removal. More preferably, arc-shaped grooves 8 are provided on the extension portions 7 to facilitate insertion and removal and improve the efficiency and effect of insertion and removal.

[0038] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
