Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible connection structure for an FPC circuit board, including a flexible circuit board body 1, a housing 4 on the right side of the flexible circuit board body 1, and two openings 11 on the left side of the housing 4. The flexible circuit board body 1 passes through each opening 11, and a protective pad 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each opening 11. The inner wall of each protective pad 10 is in contact with the outer surface of the flexible circuit board body 1. Two baffles 23 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the housing 4. A lifting slider 25 is slidably connected inside each baffle 23. A matching nut 24 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each lifting slider 25. A screw 8 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of each matching nut 24. Synchronous pulleys 5 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two synchronous pulleys 5. The outer surfaces of the two synchronous pulleys 5 are connected to the synchronous belt 21 for transmission. A fixed plate 19 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each lifting slider 25. The inner wall of each fixed plate 19 is in contact with the outer surface of the baffle 23. A first pressure roller 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the two fixed plates 19 that are close to each other. A second pressure roller 18 is provided below the first pressure roller 20. A rotating shaft 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second pressure roller 18. In this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 1 is passed through the through-hole 11 and the protective pad 10. The through-hole 11 allows the flexible circuit board 1 to pass through. Since the flexible circuit board 1 will move in the through-hole 11, the protective pad 10 provides protection during the movement of the flexible circuit board 1.

[0026] Specifically, a connector 6 is inserted into the outer surface of the flexible circuit board 1, and a circuit board 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the connector 6. In this embodiment, the connector 6 is used to connect the circuit board 2 and the flexible circuit board 1 by setting the connector 6 and the circuit board 2.

[0027] Specifically, a transparent plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 4, and two guide plates 14 are fixedly installed on the left side of the outer shell 4. Two mounting plates 12 are provided on the outer side of each guide plate 14, and the outer surface of each mounting plate 12 is in contact with the outer surface of the circuit board body 2. In this embodiment, by providing a transparent plate 7, the winding state of the flexible circuit board body 1 can be easily observed.

[0028] Specifically, the upper surfaces of the two mounting plates 12 are provided with slots 15, and the interior of each slot 15 is engaged with the outer surface of the mounting plate 12. In this embodiment, by providing slots 15 and guide plates 14, the lower mounting plate 12 does not have slots 15, but is used to support the guide plate 14. The guide plate 14 is inserted into the slots 15 to fix the outer shell 4.

[0029] Specifically, the inner wall of the circuit board body 2 is threaded with two connecting bolts 3, and the outer surface of each connecting bolt 3 is threaded to the inner wall of the mounting plate 12. In this embodiment, the connecting bolts 3 are mainly used to fix the mounting plate 12, and can also connect the mounting plate 12 to fix it.

[0030] Specifically, each connecting bolt 3 has a locking nut 9 threaded onto its outer surface, and the bottom surface of each locking nut 9 is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting plate 12. In this embodiment, the locking nut 9 is used to lock the connecting bolt 3 and stabilize the mounting plate 12.

[0031] Specifically, two first bearings 16 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer casing 4. The inner wall of each first bearing 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 17. In this embodiment, the first bearings 16 support the rotation of the rotating shaft 17 and ensure the stable rotation of the rotating shaft 17.

[0032] Specifically, two second bearings 13 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer casing 4. The inner wall of each second bearing 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the screw 8. A handwheel 22 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one of the screws 8. In this embodiment, the second bearing 13 can support the rotation of the screw 8 through the outer casing 4 so that the screw 8 can rotate inside the outer casing 4.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using the flexible circuit board 1, it is generally necessary to insert the flexible circuit board 1 into the connector 6 or the circuit board 2. The excess part will be directly exposed and easily damaged. At this time, the outer shell 4 can be inserted into the mounting plate 12 to fix the outer shell 4. The mounting plate 12 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the circuit board 2. Then, the mounting plate 12 is fixed with the connecting bolt 3. Furthermore, the handwheel 22 can be manually turned to make the screw 8 rotate, which, together with the matching nut 24, performs helical transmission, converting the rotational motion into linear motion. The matching nut 24 drives the lifting slider 25 to descend, which drives the first pressure roller 20 to descend through the fixing plate 19. The first pressure roller 20 presses down on the flexible circuit board 1. The first pressure roller 20 and the second pressure roller 18 form a certain angle, which is controlled within the range that the flexible circuit board 1 can withstand. The amount of winding of the flexible circuit board 1 is determined by the height of the descent of the first pressure roller 20 and is controlled manually. When the appropriate connection length is reached, the screw 8 is stopped.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
