[0040] The following reference Figures 1 to 12 This application describes an electronic device according to some embodiments.

[0041] This application provides an electronic device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes a device sub-board 2 and a battery 1, with the battery 1 located on one side of the device sub-board 2. Specifically, both the device sub-board 2 and the battery 1 are located inside the electronic device. The electronic device also includes a device mainboard 3, with the device sub-board 2 and the device mainboard 3 spaced apart on both sides of the electronic device. The battery 1 is located between the device sub-board 2 and the device mainboard 3.

[0042] The device sub-board 2 has a charging port 21 on the side away from the battery 1. The charging port 21 can be any one of a USB interface, a Type-C interface, or a Lightning interface. The device sub-board 2 also integrates a battery protection circuit. The end of the battery 1 facing the device sub-board 2 is the head end of the battery 1. The head end of the battery 1 has a tab 11, that is, the tab 11 of the battery 1 faces the device sub-board 2, and the tab 11 of the battery 1 is directly electrically connected to the device sub-board 2 and electrically connected to the battery protection circuit. Thus, when the charging port is connected to an external power source to charge the battery 1, the current can flow directly into the battery 1 through the device sub-board 2 and be protected by the battery protection circuit on the device sub-board 2, so that the battery 1 can be charged quickly. At the same time, by making full use of the space on the device sub-board 2 to integrate the battery protection circuit for protecting the battery 1, the battery 1 no longer needs to have a separate battery protection board. The tab 11 of the battery 1 can be directly electrically connected to the device sub-board 2, which can increase the placement space of the battery 1 in the electronic device to a certain extent, so that the size of the battery 1 can be increased, that is, the battery capacity can be increased to a certain extent.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main board 3 and the secondary board 2 are electrically connected via FPC5 (Flexible Printed Circuit), so that the main board 3 is electrically connected to the battery 1 via the secondary board 2, thereby the battery can supply power to the main board 3 through the secondary board 2 and FPC5.

[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the tab 11 of battery 1 is directly welded to the sub-board 2 of the device, or the tab 11 of battery 1 is directly bonded to the sub-board 2 of the device using conductive adhesive, thereby achieving direct electrical connection between the tab 11 of battery 1 and the sub-board 2 of the device.

[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, the battery 1 includes at least one cell, and each cell has a tab 11 including a positive tab and a negative tab. The positive and negative tabs of each cell face the device sub-board 2 and are electrically connected to the device sub-board 2 respectively. For example, in... Figure 1 Battery 1 in the text is a battery with two cells.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the packaging bag of battery 1 has a top sealing edge 12 formed at the head end of battery 1, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the top sealing edge 12 is not folded, that is, the top sealing edge includes a first part, which extends along the length direction of the battery 1 and extends a predetermined length from the head end of the battery 1 toward the sub-plate; or, as shown... Figure 2As shown, the top sealing edge 12 is folded, that is, the top sealing edge includes a first part and a second part connected in sequence. The first part extends along the length direction of the battery, and the second part is located at the end of the first part facing the head end of the battery. The second part is folded at a predetermined angle relative to the end face of the first part facing the head end of the battery, such as folding 90°, so that the second part extends along the width direction of the battery and is opposite to the end face of the head end of the battery.

[0047] When the top sealing edge 12 is folded, the distance between the head of the battery 1 and the device sub-board 2 can be effectively shortened, thereby increasing the placement space of the battery 1 in the electronic device to a certain extent, so that the size of the battery 1 can be increased to improve the capacity of the battery 1.

[0048] When the top edge 12 is not folded, as Figure 4 As shown, the device sub-board 2 and the top sealing edge 12 are stacked on each other, so that the distance between the head end of the battery 1 and the device sub-board 2 can be shortened without being affected by the top sealing edge 12. This can increase the placement space of the battery 1 in the electronic device to a certain extent, so that the size of the battery 1 can be increased and the capacity of the battery 1 can be improved.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, as shown below, Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the battery 1 has an insulating covering part 4 at its head end. The insulating covering part 4 covers the head end and the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1, thereby effectively insulating and protecting the head end of the battery 1 and preventing problems such as micro-short circuits or electro-corrosion of the battery cell.

[0050] In this embodiment, the insulating covering part 4 can cover only the head end and the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1, or the insulating covering part 4 can extend to the sub-board 2 of the device and cover the sub-board 2 and the tab 11. In this case, the battery 1 and the sub-board 2 of the device form a whole through the insulating covering part 4, which makes it easier to install the two in the electronic device and provides better insulation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the insulating covering part 4 can be formed by 3D printing using insulating photosensitive resin.

[0052] Alternatively, the insulating covering part 4 can be injection molded using a rubber compound, such as PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) compound, UV (Ultraviolet Rays) compound, or PA (Polyacrylate) compound.

[0053] Alternatively, the insulating covering 4 is injection molded using EMC (Epoxy Molding Compond).

[0054] Alternatively, the insulating covering part 4 may be an insulating tape or an insulating coating.

[0055] Next, an electronic device based on several examples will be described.

[0056] Example 1: such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1 is folded, and the insulating covering part 4 only covers the head end and the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1. The battery 1 is a dual-cell battery 1, and the positive and negative electrode tabs of the two cells extend out of the insulating covering part 4 and are directly electrically connected to the sub-board 2 of the equipment.

[0057] When assembling the battery 1 and the sub-board 2, the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1 is first folded, and then an insulating covering part 4 is formed on the head end of the battery 1 and the top sealing edge 12. Finally, the electrode tab 11 of the battery 1 is electrically connected to the sub-board 2 to achieve the integrated combination of the battery 1 and the sub-board 2.

[0058] Example 2: such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1 is folded, and the insulating covering part 4 fully covers the head end, top sealing edge 12, equipment sub-board 2 and electrode tab 11 of the battery 1. The battery 1 is a dual-cell battery 1, and the positive electrode tab and negative electrode tab of the two cells are directly electrically connected to the equipment sub-board 2.

[0059] When assembling the battery 1 and the sub-board 2, the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1 is first folded, then the tab 11 of the battery 1 is electrically connected to the sub-board 2, and finally a fully enclosed insulating covering part 4 is formed at the head end of the battery 1, so that the battery 1 and the sub-board 2 are connected as a whole.

[0060] Example 3: such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1 is not folded, and the insulating covering part 4 only covers the head end of the battery 1 and the top sealing edge 12. The equipment sub-plate 2 is inserted between the side sealing edges 13 on both sides of the battery 1 so as to overlap with the top sealing edge 12. The battery 1 is a dual-cell battery 1, and the positive and negative electrode tabs of the two cells extend out of the insulating covering part 4 and are directly electrically connected to the equipment sub-plate 2.

[0061] When assembling the battery 1 and the sub-board 2, firstly, an insulating covering part 4 is formed on the head end of the battery 1 and the non-folded top sealing edge 12. Then, the sub-board 2 is inserted between the two side sealing edges 13 of the battery 1 to overlap with the top sealing edge 12. Finally, the tabs 11 of the battery 1 are directly electrically connected to the sub-board 2 so that the battery 1 and the sub-board 2 form a whole.

[0062] Example 4: (e.g.) Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the top sealing edge 12 of the battery 1 is not folded, and the insulating covering part 4 fully covers the head end, top sealing edge 12, equipment sub-board 2 and electrode tab 11 of the battery 1. The battery 1 is a dual-cell battery 1, and the positive electrode tab and negative electrode tab of the two cells are directly electrically connected to the equipment sub-board 2.

[0063] When assembling the battery 1 and the equipment sub-board 2, the equipment sub-board 2 and the top sealing edge 12 are first stacked, and the electrode tab 11 of the battery 1 is electrically connected to the equipment sub-board 2. Then, a fully enclosed insulating covering part 4 is formed at the head end of the battery 1, so that the battery 1 and the equipment sub-board 2 are connected as a whole.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
