Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical module composition technology, specifically to a protective component for chip shielding and its optical module. Background Technology
[0002] An optical module comprises optoelectronic devices, functional circuits, and optical interfaces. The optoelectronic devices include both transmitting and receiving components. The function of an optical module is to convert electrical signals into optical signals at the transmitting end and vice versa at the receiving end. However, the photoelectric or electro-optical conversion process often involves optical or electrical chips, which are frequently subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI) during operation, affecting the transmission accuracy of the optical module.
[0003] In existing technologies, the chips of optical modules are soldered to the substrate (PCB) via pins. They are often constructed with a partially hollowed-out design to facilitate chip installation and connection. However, this will generate electromagnetic interference (EMI, which will be used hereafter) to the outside world, affecting the performance of the optical module. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0032] This utility model provides a protective component 100 for shielding chip 200 and its optical module. Through the structural design of the protective component 1, the connecting block 2 and the grounding block 3, this utility model has both EMI shielding and heat dissipation functions, and is low in application cost and easy to operate. Example 1
[0033] For details, please see Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a protective component 100 for shielding a chip 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The top view and front view of the protective component 100 are shown in the figure. Figure 1 The top view is shown above. Figure 1 Below is its front view. Figure 2 same Figure 1 In the top view, the protective component 100 is formed by the four sides of the protective component 100, and the overlapping blocks 2 extending from each corner of one side of the protective component 1 towards the center are visible. It can be understood that the center of the protective component 1 formed by the four sides is hollow. In the front view, one side of the protective component 1, the overlapping block 2 integrally formed with the protective component 1 and extending inward, and the grounding block 3 integrally formed with the protective component 1 and extending downward are visible. The protective component 1 is used to cover the chip 200, the overlapping block 2 is used to support the heat dissipation component of the chip 200, and the grounding block 3 is used to connect to the grounding terminal of the board 300 that supports the chip 200 (the chip 200 and the board 300 are not shown, but can be understood with reference to the prior art). Therefore, the working principle of this utility model is: to electromagnetically shield the chip 200 through the protective component 1 and the grounding block 3, thereby reducing its EMI to the outside world, and at the same time to use the overlapping block 2 to realize its installation positioning and heat dissipation due to the heat accumulation caused by the protection of the protective component 100.
[0034] Optionally, the grounding block 3 is connected to the plate 300 by welding.
[0035] Furthermore, the protective component 1 is made of aluminum, copper, aluminum alloys, or copper alloys. Aluminum, copper, aluminum alloys, or copper alloys have good heat dissipation performance and are inexpensive and lightweight.
[0036] Furthermore, the protective component 1 is in the form of a sheet or a fine mesh. It is worth explaining that the mesh structure combines electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation properties, but its fabrication process is more complex than that of the sheet-like structure. A schematic diagram of the mesh can be obtained by referring to the mesh shapes in existing technologies. Example 2
[0037] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic representation of a protective member 100 for shielding a chip 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. If the protective member 1 is sheet-like, it includes a first extension block 11 extending inward from one edge and disposed between two overlapping blocks 2, and / or, the protective member 1 includes a second extension block 12 extending outward from its other edge. Figure 2 It is understood that the first extension block 11 is formed by bending inward from one side edge of the protective member 1, and the second extension block 12 is formed by bending outward from the other side edge of the protective member 1 (this can be understood by referring to its top view and front view), so that the electromagnetic shielding effect provided by this utility model is better without generating heat accumulation. Example 3
[0038] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, please refer to Figure 3 The diagram shows a schematic of the external protrusion 13 and the hole 14 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Embodiment 3 mainly addresses the situation where the protective component 1 is composed of a sheet, and the protective component 1 includes: external protrusions 13 evenly distributed around its perimeter; the external protrusions 13 are sheet-shaped and protrude outwards, so that the side of the external protrusions 13 forms a hole 14.
[0039] Optionally, the external protrusion 13 can be triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, or circular. Example 4
[0040] In any of the possible implementations of Examples 1 to 3, please refer to Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the optical module includes a chip 200 (the present invention is mainly used for the chip 200; other structures of the optical module are not shown, but can be understood by referring to the prior art), a protective component 100 is mounted on the chip 200 or a heat dissipation structure outside the chip 200 via a mounting block 2, a protective member 1 covers the chip 200 from all sides, and a grounding block 3 connects to the grounding terminal of the board 300.
[0041] The present invention has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention and its core ideas. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
