The invention particularly relates to radio communication field, or rather, digital radio terminal field just relates to radio telephone and maybe can for example be installed in machine or the automobile by the various device or the device of radio communications system switching signal.
Especially, the present invention relates to make the module that is used for these terminals, especially, optimize the form, fit, and function of these modules as required.
2. background technology
Hereinafter, we especially illustrate the situation of radio communication equipment.But, obviously, the present invention is not limited to this specific application, but can also be applied to many other fields, for example be applied to microcomputer and multimedia terminal, especially portable, be applied to industrial equipment or automobile, and the interesting all situations of each purpose that more generally is applied to hereinafter enumerate.
2.1. the equipment of forming by element
Usually, most of radio communication equipments comprise the one group of electronic component that is installed on the printed circuit.The purpose of the element that these are different is to guarantee various necessary function, from receiving a RF signal up to producing an audio signal (under wireless telephonic situation), perhaps conversely.In these functions some are simulated, and other are digital.
Making these radio communication equipments is important subject.In fact, we make every effort to reach at least three purposes that are difficult to be in harmonious proportion: microminiaturized equipment, increase and matching feature, simplification circuit.We especially know: different elements being installed on the printed circuit is a suitable complicated operations, because microminiaturized requirement, a large amount of elements have to be disposed in a more and more narrower and small surface.

This bigger volume and corresponding weight also may have problems on automated assembly line, and these automated assembly lines are not to prepare to be used for such module.
A plurality of elements that some manufacturer proposes to be welded to one another stack.But this only changes into crowded on the plane crowded on the thickness, does not solve other any disadvantage.
Therefore, make the module more complicated, because necessary integrated all functions are for example supposed full-shield, especially because there is the RF Signal Processing.For example, not too easily memory and it are combined usually.
At last, always do not adapt to the demand of some radio communication equipment manufacturer based on the structure that merges repertoire, in these demands certain some, these manufacturers may wish to use by themselves exploitation, or the function that is provided by the third party.Otherwise they may not want those for the unnecessary function of the application of being considered (for example, needn't provide multimedia processing apparatus in the application of a remote control of machine, and in radio telephone, this application but being desirable).
3. purpose of the present invention
The objective of the invention is to slow down these disadvantages of prior art.
Or rather, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of technology of allowing the design and the manufacturing of optimal module, especially be radio communication equipment, especially allow the benefit of bringing by the module of present patent application holder proposition keeping, and in the disadvantage of the system that avoids traditional a plurality of elements of use, further with the equipment microminiaturization.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of such technology, this technology allows that the manufacturer of radio communication or miscellaneous equipment easily designs such equipment, and these equipment also are easy to install, and is easy to calibration and/or test.

6. embodiment
6.1. prompting to the principle of the invention
The present invention thereby proposed a new method for making electronic module especially, but is not limited only to, and is used for wireless telephonic electronic module.
According to the present invention, module is made of a plurality of (two) stacked element at least, preferentially is connected in non-irreversible mode then, safeguards so that simplify where necessary.
Be noted that in particular cases each element can also use (promptly being independent of module) by the unit as traditional element at some.
According to the present invention, being electrically connected along the limit of element between the various elements of composition module implemented, and extends (that is, if the module mosaic surface is a level, the axis that superposes so is exactly vertically) according to the direction that approximately is parallel to element stack axis.
In order to constitute a single module, provide some jockeys to be assembled in together to keep these elements.These assembling devices also ensure being electrically connected between the element, or have ensured keeping of these connections at least.According to the present invention, this relates to a flexible sleeve that can have current-carrying part.According to a modification, this pliability sleeve is being inlayed (rapporter) conductive component and it is held in place.
6.2. element
Fig. 1 has showed according to of the present invention a, module in assembling process just.It comprises four simple overlapped elements 11,12,13,14.
As shown in Figure 1, all these component shapes are identical, are like this on the XY plane at least.This is for allowing that correct assembling is necessary.
Be noted that opposite is that if desired, the thickness of each element can differ from one another.
But, we will notice: we it is contemplated that and use a undersized element, and this element is embedded in the ring of other element-external so, and keep necessary electrical continuity (can also with suitable pad system).
On the limit of each element in element 11 to 14, stipulated electric connecting part 15,16.We know a conductive component is embedded in according to the Z axle just will be enough between parts 15 and 16 guarantee that one is electrically connected.
In order to allow with the random order assembling and select element arbitrarily that 15,16,17 each parts all must be connected to same signal, and no matter are what elements.
We will notice: this means that also a specific element may comprise a link that links to each other with its own no signal.For example, may must come Connection Element 11 and 14, and element 12 does not need same signal by link 15 and 17.Yet it must comprise link 17, to guarantee electrical continuity.
According to the execution mode that Fig. 1 describes, each element all has some saw-tooth grooves on its every limit, makes it present the appearance of stamp.Such as explained below, this shape is adapted to use a branch sleeve very much.
But, certainly, other shape also can be considered.For example, jag can lobed cross section, as describing among Fig. 6 A, rather than depression, as showing among Fig. 1.Certainly, in both cases, each connects jag, part therebetween for example, and the coupling part that all has a conduction, and, between two jags, an isolated part is arranged.
In addition, jag not necessarily will form a circular arc.Its cross section can be determined a parabolic arc, triangle, a rectangle or more generally be a shape arbitrarily.
Be electrically connected by friction and obtain.Reach for convenience and optimize contact, can consider track is prolonged (62) in the upper and lower surface of element.
Replenish a bit, some element may have special-purpose link (for example element communication in order to make two should always exist) on the surface at least.Certainly, no longer include the possibility of stack in any order in this case.
In addition, we will notice the link that needn't distribute on the whole width on all a limits or limit.Equally, with described different, also parts that needn't be all are all identical.For example we can provide a link large-sized, that reinforced insulation is arranged for radiofrequency signal.
This different shape can also be used as a mistake proofing mark, with convenient stack.
For example, element 11 to 14 can be:
-radio frequency processing element;
-Base-Band Processing element;
-microprocessor;
-multimedia treatment element;
-memory;
-......
Certainly, can also provide some to merge the element of several elements of enumerating below with multicomponent parts (for example making) form with reconstructed model.All right, for example, provide a building-blocks that has ensured whole radio frequencies and Base-Band Processing function.
6.3. assembling device
For the various elements in the connection layout 1 11 to 14, we use a sleeve 31 as assembling device, as shown in Figure 3.Fig. 2 has shown corresponding assembling with regard to it, and sleeve 31 be cut open only be for the explanation reason.
This sleeve 31 thereby formed a ring, side has strip conductor 32 within it, and this strip conductor has and is used for the profile that the link 15 to 17 with element is complementary, as shown in Figure 2.
This sleeve 31 thereby guaranteed a dual function promptly carries out being electrically connected and keeping various combination of elements shapes between the various elements.We have obtained an independent module thus, and it can be used as an integral body and transfers like a cork on the printed circuit or on similar parts.
This sleeve can for example be made of the elastomeric material that has conductive component 32, and this conductive component for example is to make according to the connector technology that is called " striped " (" z é bra ").It can also be made by polymer, for example LCP or other type, grouting or cast.
According to a modification, conductive component 32 can be independent of sleeve 31, and is embedded in the groove of being determined by jag, and is fixing by sleeve 31 then, so sleeve 31 has only the function that keeps assembling.
Advantageously, the material that constitutes sleeve is with the tubular supply, and people cut into a section 31 according to the size of hope.This allows the size of easily adjusting sleeve when needed according to the element that is held.
In addition, therefore the manufacturing of this sleeve has also made things convenient for.
We will notice that also assembling device can be equipped with screening arrangement, to guarantee the radio frequency isolation of element.
6.4. module
The integral body that is assembled of Fig. 2 has just constituted a module of all set transferring on the carrier.
The advantage of having enumerated of the module of this is module integrated known type, and the new advantage relevant with manufacture with the structure of this module will be as will more clearly manifesting hereinafter.
Just as already noted, the present invention allows that as required (the desirable function of the equipment that is developed) and/or assembler's hope (he may wish to use an independently professional component, for example for memory) implements element assembling.
Fig. 4 schematically illustrates the example of one 6 element assembling, and these 6 elements are used for constituting one and comprise a third generation radio telephone module needed basic element of character, single.
This module thereby comprise following 6 elements:
-Base-Band Processing element 41;
-radio frequency processing element 42;
-memory 43;
-multimedia processor 44 (being called " companion chip (companion chip) ");
-one dedicated processes element 45;
-one power control member 46.
Just as already noted, we will notice that the connection between the various elements that ensured by the connection of Z-direction is allowed and interconnect various elements like a cork, whatsoever order.For example, power control member 66 is communicated by letter with preceding four elements 61 to 64.On the other hand, 65 of 3G elements are communicated by letter with radio-frequency (RF) component 62 with baseband element 61.
6.5. the transfer of module
For example, can utilize conventional art according to module of the present invention, for example BGA and LGA transfer the surface at printed circuit.For this reason, as shown in Figure 5, bottom component (51) (thereby promptly being positioned at the element that bottom contacts with printed circuit) has a plurality of contacts 52, and these contacts allow that carrying out CMS in a conventional manner transfers.
In order to keep the possibility of stack in any order, each element preferably has a similar combination of this contact 52.These contacts link to each other with each link 53 (each jag) in this case, i.e. respectively.
These contacts 52 also have another significant advantage.In fact, they allow and test each element independently, perhaps, where necessary, part of detecting combination of elements independently.This is because as explained hereunder, and technology of the present invention allows and dismantle each element safeguarding, and more meaningful.
According to another kind of scheme, can directly realize by vertical connection from module according to the present invention to the connection the printed circuit.For example, the conductive component of sleeve can correspondingly prolong, and transfers so that allow on printed circuit or on any carrier that other is reequiped.
6.6. I﹠ M method
As beginning to display, technology of the present invention is allowed very simply and effectively I﹠ M method of application.Therefore, an example has been described simply in Fig. 7.
Assembling 71 at first comprises a step that obtains element 711.Because in fact unique restriction is the shape and the structure of conductive component on each limit of element, these elements are certainly from a plurality of sources.For example, can consider that a special manufacturer of memory provides memory element, is made by another supplier and more be exclusively used in wireless telephonic parts.
If necessary, each element can be by independent test 712.Just as mentioned above, it is convenient that the contact that exists on each element makes it.Can also be independent of a part of element of other element ground test.
The various elements that are received are applied (713) then, next just connect (714) with a sleeve.Between these two steps, if necessary, it is also conceivable that an arrangement is used for the step (if this sleeve itself does not comprise such parts) with the interconnective conductive component of various elements.
Under a favourable execution mode of the present invention, we are by obtaining sleeve according to prefabricated tube of necessary thickness cutting.
In some cases, overlap-add operation 713 and attended operation 714 can be implemented with the form of same operation, so each element is laminated in this sleeve inner.So we have had one to be ready to operable module, we can for example use BGA and LGA with known mode itself, transfer (715) it.
So equipment is ready to and can have moved.
Under the shutdown situation, can implement upkeep operation 72 owing to fault or in order to upgrade (for example, replace an element with the better redaction of performance, or replace another) with a bigger memory of capacity.
For this reason, at first should be with module sealing-off (721).
Dismantle each element by withdrawing from sleeve simply then.So can directly dispose each (soldered because they do not have, as also not connected) in the element so that the alternate manner between them is fastened.
So can implement maintenance, the test of any kind in the element each, or the like, and replace some in the element.
At this, we will notice one of main advantages of the present invention, and Here it is when independent parts (element) when fault is arranged, and needn't replace whole module.Have only this trouble unit (element) to be replaced, other element can be retained.
Then (724) have been ressembled and reinstalled to module just according to the same steps as of doing in installation process 71.
Above-mentioned installation method can utilize a special use to put together machines and implement, and this special use puts together machines and comprises as in the lower member at least some:
-device that a set of pieces is superposeed successively;
-in a prefabricated tube according to the device of desirable size cutting sleeve;
-with this jacket casing on laminates, or laminates is introduced the device of sleeve inner;
The device of-transfer conventional module itself.
Such machine is fairly simple, and especially has and need not the advantage that special transformation just is adapted to implement the complete series module, because external shape and being electrically connected by once and for all has been determined.
We will notice that also the simplicity of enforcement also allows hand assembled, and this is especially meaningful for maintenance.
6.7. further feature and advantage
Method of the present invention allows that the form with single standard proposes a very widely module Series. Each client can select its desirable element, can also the Application standard element. In addition, all modification of element and combination all are possible.
On the other hand, for the client, select to have simplified widely. No matter how module consists of, For interconnective interface, only there is unique a kind of die cavity. Equally, module takies together The surface of sample only has the thickness can be different.
By allowing dismounting and after repairing, reinstalling this module, allow and only replace an element Rather than whole module, allow be various modules single manufacturing of serial application and Installation method, the present invention also allows greatly and reduces cost.
In addition, solution of the present invention allows that obtaining one reduces for known technology Volume.
