Description
本發明關於一種訊號傳輸模組及折疊式電子裝置,尤指一種結合硬式電路板與軟性電路板之訊號傳輸模組及裝設有此訊號傳輸模組之折疊式電子裝置。 The invention relates to a signal transmission module and a foldable electronic device, in particular to a signal transmission module combining a rigid circuit board and a flexible circuit board and a foldable electronic device equipped with the signal transmission module.
隨著科技的進步與發展,各式各樣的折疊式電子裝置,例如筆記型電腦、行動電話等,已被廣泛地應用於每個人的日常生活中。一般而言,折疊式電子裝置係由上蓋以及底座組成,其中上蓋藉由轉軸結構樞接於底座,使得上蓋可相對底座打開或閉合。上蓋通常裝設有顯示器,且顯示器係經由轉軸結構中的電子線連接至底座中的主機板,以進行訊號傳輸。目前,因應折疊式電子裝的薄型化設計,轉軸結構中可容納電子線的空間愈來愈小。此外,隨著顯示器的功能增加,所需的電子線也愈來愈粗。因此,折疊式電子裝置之轉軸結構中的空間已不夠容納電子線。 With the advancement and development of technology, various foldable electronic devices, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, etc., have been widely used in everyone's daily life. Generally speaking, a foldable electronic device is composed of an upper cover and a base, wherein the upper cover is pivotally connected to the base by a shaft structure, so that the upper cover can be opened or closed relative to the base. The upper cover is usually equipped with a display, and the display is connected to the motherboard in the base via an electronic wire in the hinge structure for signal transmission. At present, in response to the thin design of the foldable electronic device, the space in the hinge structure that can accommodate the electronic wire is getting smaller and smaller. In addition, as the function of the display increases, the required electronic wires are getting thicker and thicker. Therefore, the space in the hinge structure of the foldable electronic device is not enough to accommodate the electronic wire.
本發明提供一種結合硬式電路板與軟性電路板之訊號傳輸模組及裝設有此訊號傳輸模組之折疊式電子裝置,以解決上述之問題。 The present invention provides a signal transmission module combining a rigid circuit board and a flexible circuit board and a foldable electronic device equipped with the signal transmission module to solve the above-mentioned problems.
根據一實施例,本發明之訊號傳輸模組包含一硬式電路板、一第一軟性電路板以及一第二軟性電路板。硬式電路板具有一第一軸部以及一第二軸部。第一軟性電路板連接於第一軸部。第二軟性電路板連接於第二軸部。 According to one embodiment, the signal transmission module of the present invention includes a rigid circuit board, a first flexible circuit board, and a second flexible circuit board. The rigid circuit board has a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion. The first flexible circuit board is connected to the first shaft portion. The second flexible circuit board is connected to the second shaft portion.
根據另一實施例,本發明之折疊式電子裝置包含一第一座體、一第 二座體、一轉軸結構以及一訊號傳輸模組。轉軸結構將第一座體樞接於第二座體。訊號傳輸模組包含一硬式電路板、一第一軟性電路板以及一第二軟性電路板。硬式電路板設置於轉軸結構中。硬式電路板具有一第一軸部以及一第二軸部。第一軸部自轉軸結構延伸出且進入第一座體。第二軸部自轉軸結構延伸出且進入第二座體。第一軟性電路板之一端連接於第一軸部,且第一軟性電路板之另一端固定於第一座體中。第二軟性電路板之一端連接於第二軸部,且第二軟性電路板之另一端固定於第二座體中。 According to another embodiment, the foldable electronic device of the present invention includes a first base, a second Two blocks, a rotating shaft structure and a signal transmission module. The shaft structure pivotally connects the first seat to the second seat. The signal transmission module includes a rigid circuit board, a first flexible circuit board and a second flexible circuit board. The rigid circuit board is arranged in the shaft structure. The rigid circuit board has a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion. The first shaft portion extends from the rotating shaft structure and enters the first seat body. The second shaft portion extends from the rotating shaft structure and enters the second seat body. One end of the first flexible circuit board is connected to the first shaft portion, and the other end of the first flexible circuit board is fixed in the first base body. One end of the second flexible circuit board is connected to the second shaft portion, and the other end of the second flexible circuit board is fixed in the second base body.
綜上所述,本發明之訊號傳輸模組係由硬式電路板、第一軟性電路板與第二軟性電路板組成。由於硬式電路板為薄板,因此,可將訊號傳輸模組之硬式電路板設置於空間狹小的轉軸結構中,以解決轉軸結構空間不夠的問題。此外,由於第一軟性電路板與第二軟性電路板具有可撓性,因此,當第一座體相對第二座體轉動時,第一軟性電路板與第二軟性電路板會隨著轉軸結構的轉動而撓曲。本發明可將第一軟性電路板與第二軟性電路板分別捲繞於硬式電路板之第一軸部與第二軸部,以提供第一軟性電路板與第二軟性電路板較大的撓曲裕度,使得第一軟性電路板與第二軟性電路板不會因頻繁地轉動而破裂或自硬式電路板脫落。 In summary, the signal transmission module of the present invention is composed of a rigid circuit board, a first flexible circuit board and a second flexible circuit board. Since the rigid circuit board is a thin plate, the rigid circuit board of the signal transmission module can be arranged in the rotating shaft structure with a small space to solve the problem of insufficient space for the rotating shaft structure. In addition, because the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board are flexible, when the first base body rotates relative to the second base body, the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board will follow the shaft structure. The turning and bending. According to the present invention, the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board can be respectively wound on the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion of the rigid circuit board to provide greater flexibility for the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board. The curvature margin prevents the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board from cracking or falling off due to frequent rotation.
