Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a contactor for protecting an electric shock, and a portable electronic device having the contactor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric shock protection contactor and a portable electronic device having the same, and more particularly, to an electric shock protection contactor capable of protecting a user from a leakage current by a power source and a portable electronic device having the same.

[0003] In recent portable electronic devices, various component elements are densely arranged in the interior in accordance with miniaturization and multifunctionalization. Accordingly, a conductive gasket is used between the external housing and the internal circuit board of the portable electronic device to reduce the impact from the outside while simultaneously penetrating into the portable electronic device or reducing electromagnetic waves leaking from the portable electronic device.

In addition, the portable electronic device may have a plurality of antennas for each function in accordance with the multifunctional function, and at least a part thereof may be an internal antenna, and may be disposed in the external housing of the portable electronic device. Therefore, a conductive contactor is used for electrical contact between the antenna disposed in the external housing and the internal circuit board of the portable electronic device.

In addition, portable electronic devices have recently been increasing in adoption of housings made of metal to improve esthetics and robustness.

As a result, an electrical path can be formed between the housing and the internal circuit board by the conductive gasket or the conductive contactor. In particular, as the metal housing and the circuit board form a loop, The static electricity may flow into the internal circuit board through the conductive gasket or the conductive contactor, and the circuit such as the IC may be damaged.

On the other hand, such a portable electronic device typically uses a charger to charge the battery. Such a charger rectifies an external AC power source to a DC power source and then through a transformer to a low DC power source suitable for a portable electronic device. Here, in order to enhance the electrical insulation of the transformer, a Y-CAP composed of a capacitor is provided at both ends of the transformer.

However, when the Y-CAP does not have the normal characteristics, such as a non-genuine charger, the DC power may not be sufficiently blocked by the Y-CAP, and furthermore, a leakage current may be generated by the AC power source. Can propagate along the ground of the circuit.

Such a leakage current can be transmitted to a conductor that can be contacted with a human body as in an external case of a portable electronic device. As a result, it can give a user an unpleasant feeling of crushing. In case of severe case, There are problems that cause accidents.

Therefore, a protective element for protecting the user from such a leakage current needs to be provided in the conductive gasket or the conductive contactor connecting the metal housing and the circuit board.

In addition, when the metal housing is used as an antenna, the conductive gasket or the conductive contactor is required to realize a high capacitance because the signal is attenuated when the capacitance is low, and the RF signal is not transmitted smoothly.

Thus, there is a need for a contactor having various functions for protecting a user or a circuit in a portable electronic device as well as a simple electrical contact according to the use of a conductor such as a metal case.

However, in order to implement these various functions, additional component elements are required. Therefore, there is a problem that miniaturization is adversely affected because additional space must be secured in the circuit board of the portable electronic device.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

The contactor protection contact 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first conductive connection part 110, a second conductive connection part 120, and an electric shock protection element 130.

Such an electric shock protection contactor 100 is for electrically connecting between a conductor 12 such as an external metal case and a circuit board 14 in a portable electronic device, referring to FIG.

Here, the portable electronic device may be in the form of a portable electronic device that is portable and portable. For example, the portable electronic device may be a portable terminal such as a smart phone, a cellular phone, and the like, and may be a smart watch, a digital camera, a DMB, an electronic book, a netbook, a tablet PC, Such electronic devices may comprise any suitable electronic components including antenna structures for communication with external devices. In addition, it may be a device using local area network communication such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The shock protection contactor 100 is urged in response to a pressing force to engage the conductor 12 with the portable electronic device so that when the conductor 12 is released from the portable electronic device, Lt; / RTI >

Here, the conductor 12 may be provided to partially surround or partially surround the side portion of the portable electronic device, and may be an antenna for communication between the portable electronic device and an external device.

The first conductive connection part 110 and the second conductive connection part 120 form a pair and are disposed symmetrically with respect to the electric shock protection device 130 in the up and down directions. For example, referring to FIG. 1, the electric shock protection element 130 is stacked on the second conductive connection part 120, and the first conductive connection part 110 is formed on the upper part of the electric shock protection element 130 The pair of conductive connecting parts 110 and 120 may be arranged symmetrically with respect to the electric shock protection device 130 in the height direction.

The pair of conductive connection portions 110 and 120 are disposed symmetrically with respect to the electric shock protection device 130 so that the pressing force externally applied through the conductor 12 or the circuit board 14 is uniformly distributed So that the stability of the contact and the service life can be improved by the pair of conductive connecting parts 110 and 120. [

Here, the first conductive connection part 110 and the second conductive connection part 120 are electrically contacted to the conductor 12 of the portable electronic device and the circuit board 14, respectively, and may have an elastic force. Such a pair of conductive connection portions 110 and 120 may be provided as a gasket having an elastic force (restoring force or elastic restoring force) as shown in FIG.

At this time, a part of the pair of the conductive connection parts 110 and 120 can be pressed toward the electric shock protection element 130 by the pressing force of the conductor 12 or the circuit board 14, It can be restored to its original state by its elastic force.

The electric shock protection device 130 is electrically connected in series to the first conductive connection part 110 and the second conductive connection part 120. For example, referring to FIG. 1, the pair of conductive connection parts 110 , 120). Here, a pair of external electrodes 221 and 222 (see FIG. 7) may be disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the electric shock protection element 130, respectively.

18) is provided on the upper and lower sides of the electric shock protection device 130. A pair of external electrodes 221 'are formed on the bottom surface of the pair of the grooves 136, The first conductive connection part 110 is stacked on the external electrode 221 'through the conductive adhesive layer 111 and the second conductive connection part 120 is formed on the conductive adhesive layer 111' May be stacked on top of the external electrode 222 '. Such a structure will be described later.

At this time, the electric shock protection device 130 may be a device having a function of preventing damage to the user or damage of the internal circuit such as electric shock through a conductor, such as a metal case. For example, the electric shock protection element 130 may block the leakage current of the external power source flowing from the ground of the circuit board 14 of the electromagnetic device, may pass the communication signal coming from the electric conductor 12 , Static electricity can be passed through the conductor (12) without dielectric breakdown during the inflow of the static electricity.

To this end, the electric shock protection element 130 may include at least one of an electric shock protection element, a varistor, a suppressor, and a diode, for example. Here, the electric shock protection element may include various types of a suppressor or a varistor. That is, the electric shock protection element may be a single element such as a suppressor or a varistor. Alternatively, when the contactor for protecting the electric shock protection is required to have a function of passing a communication signal, such as when the contactor is connected to a conductor such as an antenna, the electric shock protection element 130 may be a surgeon having a capacitor layer May be a varistor with a capacitor layer.

Such an electric shock protection element 130 may have a breakdown voltage Vbr that satisfies the following equation so as to block the leakage current of the external electric power source:

Vbr> Vin

Where Vin is the rated voltage of the external power supply of the electromagnetic device.

At this time, the rated voltage may be a standard rated voltage for each country, for example, 240V, 110V, 220V, 120V and 100V.

On the other hand, when the conductor 12 has an antenna function, the electric shock protection element 130 may be a suppressor having a capacitor layer or a varistor.

Such an electric shock protection element 130 includes an electric shock protection unit and at least one capacitor layer and is configured to block the leakage current of an external power source and to pass a communication signal coming from the electric conductor 12, And may have a breakdown voltage (Vbr) of the protective portion:

Vbr> Vin

At this time, when the electric shock protection element 130 has a function of passing static electricity in order to protect the circuit portion at the rear end, the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection portion satisfies the following condition:

Vcp> Vbr

Vcp is the dielectric breakdown voltage of the capacitor layer.

2 to 4, the electric shock protection device 130 may have different functions depending on a leakage current due to an external power source, a static electricity flowing from the electric conductor 12, and a communication signal.

2, when the leakage current of the external power source flows into the conductor 12 through the circuit portion 14 'of the circuit board 14, for example, the ground, 130 can be kept open since the breakdown voltage (or trigger voltage) Vbr is larger than the overvoltage due to the leakage current. That is, since the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection element 130 is larger than the rated voltage of the external power source of the portable electronic device, the electric shock protection element 130 maintains the open state without being electrically conducted, It is possible to prevent the leakage current from being transmitted.

In this case, when the capacitor layer is provided in the electric shock protection device 130, the capacitor layer can block the DC component included in the leakage current, and since the leakage current has a relatively lower frequency than the radio communication band, So that the leakage current can be cut off.

As a result, the electric shock protection element 130 can protect the user from electric shock by blocking the leakage current to the external power source which flows from the ground of the circuit portion 14 '.

Referring to FIG. 3, when static electricity flows from the outside through the conductor 12, the electric shock protection element 130 functions as an electrostatic protection element such as a suppressor or a varistor. That is, when the electric shock protection element 130 is in the form of a varistor, since the breakdown voltage Vbr thereof is smaller than the instantaneous voltage of the static electricity, the electric shock can be electrically conducted to pass the static electricity. When the electric shock protection element 130 is in the form of a supercapacitor, since the operating voltage of the suppressor for electrostatic discharge is smaller than the instantaneous voltage of the static electricity, the static electricity can be passed by the instantaneous discharge. As a result, the electric shock resistance protective element 130 can lower the electrical resistance when the static electricity flows from the conductor 12, and can pass the static electricity without being broken down by itself.

At this time, when the capacitor layer is provided in the electric shock protection device 130, since the insulation breakdown voltage Vcp of the capacitor layer is larger than the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection portion, the static electricity does not flow into the capacitor layer, It can only pass through the protective part.

Here, the circuit portion 14 'may have a separate protection element for bypassing the static electricity to the ground. As a result, the electric shock protection element 130 can pass the static electricity without being broken down by the static electricity flowing from the conductor 12, thereby protecting the inner circuit of the following stage.

4, when a communication signal is input through the conductor 12, the electric shock protection element 130 functions as a capacitor. That is, the electric shock protection element 130 keeps the electric shock protection part in the open state to shut off the conductor 12 and the circuit part 14 ', but can pass the communication signal in which the capacitor layer inside is passed. Thus, the capacitor layer of the electric shock protection element 130 can provide the inflow path of the communication signal.

Here, the capacitance of the capacitor layer is preferably set so as to pass the communication signal of the main wireless communication band without attenuation.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, according to the result of simulating a pass frequency band according to a capacitance, it is possible to transmit substantially no loss at a mobile radio communication frequency band (700 MHz to 2.6 GHz) Shot phenomenon.

However, as shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the capacitance of the capacitor layer is not influenced by the reception sensitivity at the time of the communication at a capacitance of about 30 pF or more. It is preferable to use a high capacitance of 30. Or more.

As a result, the electric shock protection element 130 can pass the communication signal introduced from the conductor 12 by the high capacitance of the capacitor layer without attenuation.

Here, when a plurality of voids 228 are disposed between the internal electrode 225a and the internal electrode 225b, the internal electrode 225a and the internal electrode 225b may be connected in parallel via the gap 228. [

The internal electrode 225a and the internal electrode 225b may be formed in the same sheet layer (for example, 220a-1), and at least one common electrode may be included in the sheet layer 220a-3. At this time, the gap 228 is arranged in series with the internal electrode 225a and the internal electrode 225b so that the internal electrode 225a and the internal electrode 225b can be connected in series with one common electrode (not shown) have.

In this case, the inner electrode facing the inner electrode 225a and the inner electrode facing the inner electrode 225b may be formed of one common electrode (not shown). That is, the plurality of unit elements may be connected in series to the intermediate electrodes 223a and 223b through common electrodes (not shown) connected to neighboring air gaps 228. [

That is, the internal electrodes 225a and 225b include a pair of internal electrodes 225a and 225b connected to the pair of intermediate electrodes 223a and 223b, and a plurality of common electrodes 225a and 225b connected to the adjacent gaps 228, (Not shown). Here, the common electrode included in the electric shock protection element 200 may be included in the concept of the internal electrode.

In the present embodiment, one unit element formed by internal electrodes is shown and described as one unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more unit elements may be formed.

By arranging a plurality of unit elements in series, it is possible to disperse the functions of the unit elements with respect to the static electricity or leakage current flowing from the outside, and therefore the resistance to the introduced energy can be enhanced to improve the electrical characteristics .

The internal electrodes 225a and 225b, the common electrode and the intermediate electrodes 223a and 223b may include any one or more of Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, and Cu. The external electrode 222 may include any one or more of Ag, Ni, and Sn components.

The pair of inner electrodes 225a and 225b and / or the common electrode may be formed in various shapes and patterns. The inner electrode 225a and the common electrode or the inner electrode 225b may be formed in various shapes and patterns. And the common electrode may be provided in the same pattern or may have different patterns. That is, when the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and the common electrode are arranged such that a part of the electrodes (for example, the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and / or the common electrode) overlap each other in the configuration of the elementary body 220a, It is not limited to the pattern.

Here, the intervals between the internal electrodes 225a and 225b, the common electrodes, and the areas facing each other or overlapping with each other may be configured to satisfy the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection element 220, The interval between the electrodes 225a and 225c or the interval between the internal electrodes 225b and 225c may be 10 to 100 mu m.

The air gap 228 may be formed by, for example, a gap forming member 227. For example, referring to FIG. 11, the gap forming member 227 may be inserted between the pair of internal electrodes 225a and 225b in the body 220a. That is, the gap forming member 227 is provided in the sheet layer 220a-2 in the electric shock protection portion 225, and the gap between the internal electrode 225a and the sheet electrode 220a-2 And can be exposed upward and downward.

10, the gap forming member 227 may include discharge material layers 227a-1, 227a-2, and 227a-3 applied to the inner wall of the gap forming member 227 at a predetermined thickness along the height direction . Here, the discharge material constituting the discharge material layers 227a-1, 227a-2, and 227a-3 has a low dielectric constant, no conductivity, and no short circuit when an overvoltage is applied.

To this end, the discharge material may be made of a nonconductive material including at least one kind of metal particles, and may be made of a semiconductor material containing SiC or a silicon-based component.

For example, when the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and / or the common electrode include an Ag component, the discharge material may include a SiC-ZnO based component. The SiC (Silicon Carbide) component has excellent thermal stability, excellent stability in an oxidizing atmosphere, constant conductivity and heat conductivity, and low dielectric constant. The ZnO component has excellent nonlinear resistance and discharge characteristics.

In addition, both SiC and ZnO have conductivity when used separately, but when they are mixed and fired, ZnO is bonded to the surface of SiC particles to form an insulating layer having a low conductivity.

In such an insulating layer, SiC completely reacts to form a SiC-ZnO reaction layer on the surface of the SiC particles. Accordingly, the insulating layer blocks the Ag path to provide a further higher insulating property to the discharge material and improves the resistance to static electricity, thereby solving the DC shorting phenomenon when the contact protection contactor 100 is mounted on the electronic part .

Here, the discharge material includes SiC-ZnO-based materials as an example of the discharge material, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The discharge material may be a semiconductor material suitable for the components constituting the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and / Non-conductive materials can be used including materials or metal particles

The discharge material layer applied to the inner wall of the gap forming member 227 may include a first portion 227a-1 applied along the inner wall of the gap forming member 227 and a second portion 227b- A second portion 227a-2 extending from the upper end so as to be in contact with the inner electrode 225a and a third portion 227a-2 extending in contact with the inner electrode 225b from the lower end of the first portion 227a- Portion 227a-3.

The gap 227a-1, 227a-2, and 227a-3 are formed not only from the inner wall of the gap forming member 227 but also from the upper and lower ends of the gap forming member 227, 227a-2 and the third portion 227a-3 are extended so that the contact area with the internal electrode 225a and the internal electrode 225b can be widened.

This is because a part of the components constituting the discharge material layers 227a-1, 227a-2 and 227a-3 is vaporized by the electrostatic spark due to the overvoltage to form the discharge material layers 227a-1, 227a-2 and 227a- , 227a-2, 227a-3 can perform their functions by enhancing the resistance to static electricity even if a part of the discharge material layer 227a-1, 227a-2, 227a-3 is damaged.

A gap 228 may be formed between the pair of inner electrodes 225a and 225b by the gap forming member 227. [ The static electricity introduced from the outside by the gap 228 can be discharged between the pair of internal electrodes 225a and 225b. At this time, the electrical resistance between the pair of inner electrodes 225a and 225b is lowered, and the voltage difference between both ends of the protection contactor 200 can be reduced to a certain value or less. Therefore, the contactor 200 for an electric shock protection can pass static electricity without causing internal breakdown.

On the other hand, a plurality of void forming members 227 may be provided between the pair of inner electrodes 225a and 225b. As described above, when the number of the gap forming members 227 disposed between the pair of inner electrodes is increased, the discharge path of the static electricity is increased, so that resistance to static electricity can be increased.

The capacitor layers 224a and 224b may be at least one stacked capacitor layer for passing communication signals incoming from the conductors 12. The capacitor layers 224a and 224b may be electrically connected in parallel with the electric shock protection unit 225 through the intermediate electrodes 223a and 223b.

Here, the capacitor electrode 226a may be connected to the intermediate electrode 223a, and the capacitor electrode 226b may be electrically connected to the intermediate electrode 223b.

These capacitor layers 224a and 224b are intended to provide additional capacitance of the electric shock protection element 130 to improve RF reception sensitivity.

Unlike the prior art in which a separate component for increasing the RF reception sensitivity is used together with a suppressor, a varistor or a Zener diode for protecting the internal circuit against static electricity by the capacitor layers 224a and 224b, An electric shock protection device has an advantage of protecting not only static electricity but also RF receiving sensitivity.

The interval between the electric shock protection unit 225 and the capacitor layers 224a and 224b may be set to be shorter than an interval between the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and / or a common electrode or an interval between the capacitor electrodes 226a and 226b . That is, the capacitive layers 224a and 224b may prevent the static electricity or the leakage current flowing along the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and / or the common electrode from leaking to the adjacent capacitor electrodes 226a and 226b. It is desirable to secure a sufficient distance between the capacitor electrodes 226a and 226b closest to the internal electrodes 225a and 225b and / or the common electrode.

Here, the sheet layer on which the electric shock protection part 225 and the upper and lower capacitor layers 224a and 224b are formed may be made of the same material, but may be made of different materials.

Further, at least one sheet layer of the plurality of sheet layers 220a-4 to 220a-11 constituting the capacitor layers 224a and 224b uses the first ceramic material, and the remaining sheet layers use the second ceramic material Can be used.

At this time, the first ceramic material and the second ceramic material may be heterogeneous ceramic materials. Here, the meaning of 'heterogeneous' means that the physical properties are mutually consulted even if the chemical formulas are different from each other or the chemical formulas are the same.
