[0001] This utility model relates to the field of FPC connector technology, specifically to an FPC connector that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] FPC: Flexible Printed Circuit Board, simply put, is a PCB made of flexible materials (materials that can be folded and bent). Connectors are used to connect LCD displays to driver circuits (PCBs). With the trend of integrating LCD drivers into LCD devices, the number of pins in FPCs will decrease accordingly. Related products have already appeared on the market. In the long run, FPC connectors are expected to be integrated with other mobile phone components into the frame of mobile phones or their LCD modules. The products are mainly used in various digital communication products, portable electronic products, computer peripherals, measuring instruments, automotive electronics and other fields.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model discloses an easily assembled FPC connector, including a circuit board 1. In this embodiment, the circuit board 1 is prior art.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating plate 10, with a connecting shaft 11 inside the rotating plate 10. In this embodiment, the rotating plate 10 can rotate. A pressure block 12 is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 10 and is fixedly connected to it, which can fix the connector 7. A movable frame 13 is provided at the top of the rotating plate 10, which can move. A threaded rod 14 is provided inside the movable frame 13 and is threadedly connected to it. A knob 15 is provided at the top of the threaded rod 14 and a flexible pad 16 is provided at the bottom of the threaded rod 14, which can fix the rotating plate 10 and deform it, thereby facilitating the connection between the flexible circuit board 6 and the connector body 2, thus improving work efficiency. A slider 17 is provided on one side of the movable frame 13 and is fixedly connected to it. Both sides of the main body 2 are provided with sliding grooves 18, which are adapted to the slider 17 and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 18. This allows the movable frame 13 to move, thereby allowing the flexible pad 16 to move and fix the rotating plate 10. This facilitates the connection between the flexible circuit board 6 and the connector main body 2, thereby improving work efficiency. Both sides of the slider 17 are provided with sliding blocks 19, which are fixedly connected to the slider 17. Both sides of the sliding grooves 18 are provided with sliding slots 20, which are adapted to the sliding blocks 19 and are slidably connected to the sliding slots 20. This limits the slider 17, preventing it from detaching and allowing it to move. This also fixes the rotating plate 10, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mounting mechanism 8 includes a fixing frame 21. In this embodiment, the fixing frame 21 is fixedly connected to the circuit board 1. A movable plate 22 is provided inside the fixing frame 21 and is slidably connected to the fixing frame 21.

An elastic element 25 is provided on the outer surface of the baffle 24, which can deform, thereby facilitating the installation of the connector body 2 and improving work efficiency. An installation groove 26 is provided inside the fixing frame 21. The installation groove 26 is adapted to the connecting plate 9, and the connecting plate 9 is slidably connected to the installation groove 26.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] This easy-to-assemble FPC connector has a connection end 5. When assembling the device, the operator removes the flexible circuit board 6 and connects the connector head 7 to the connection end 5. Then, the operator rotates the rotating plate 10. Since the rotating plate 10 has a connecting shaft 11 inside, the rotation of the connecting shaft 11 allows the rotating plate 10 to grip, thereby causing the rotating plate 10 to drive the pressure block 12 to rotate, so that the bottom of the pressure block 12 contacts the top of the connector head 7. Then, the operator moves the moving frame 13, which drives the slider 17 to move. Since the slider 17 is slidably connected to the slide groove 18, the slider 17 can move, which in turn drives the sliding block 19 to move. Since the sliding block 19 is slidably connected to the slide groove 20, the slider 17 can move. This allows the sliding block 19 to move, which in turn allows the moving frame 13 to move, which in turn allows the moving frame 13 to drive the threaded rod 14 to move. When the moving frame 13 moves to the end of the slide groove 18 that is close to the flexible circuit board 6, the operator turns the knob 15. The turn of the knob 15 can drive the threaded rod 14 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the moving frame 13, the threaded rod 14 can move up and down. The up and down movement of the threaded rod 14 can drive the flexible pad 16 to move, which can then make the flexible pad 16 contact the top of the rotating plate 10, thereby fixing the flexible pad 16 to the rotating plate 10. This can then fix the pressure block 12 to the connector head 7, making it easier to connect the flexible circuit board 6 to the connector body 2, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0031] Subsequently, the operator pulls the baffle 24, which moves upward. This movement of the baffle 24 moves the moving rod 23. Since the moving rod 23 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 21, it moves, which in turn moves the moving plate 22. This allows the moving plate 22 to clear the space in the mounting slot 26, enabling the connecting plate 9 to enter and causing the elastic element 25 to deform. The operator then inserts the connecting plate 9 into the mounting slot 26. The mounting slot 26 is slidably connected, allowing the connecting plate 9 to be inserted into the mounting slot 26. When the connecting plate 9 is fully inserted, the operator releases the baffle 24. At this time, the elastic element 25 will recover its deformation after losing external force, thereby pushing the moving plate 22 to move downward. The movement of the moving plate 22 can drive the positioning pin 28 to move, thereby allowing the positioning pin 28 to contact the positioning hole 29, thereby fixing the connecting plate 9. This facilitates the connection between the connector body 2 and the circuit board 1, thereby improving work efficiency.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
