一般地,没有焊接电子元件的印刷电路板可以称为PCB单板。焊接了电子元件的印刷电路板可以称为印刷电路板组件(printed circuit board assembly,PCBA)。
印刷电路板30可以采用FR-4介质板、罗杰斯(rogers)介质板、rogers和FR-4的混合介质板等等。这里,FR-4是一种耐燃材料等级的代号,rogers介质板是一种高频板。印刷电路板30可以为单面板、双面板、多层线路板等。印刷电路板30可以为陶瓷电路板、氧化铝陶瓷电路板、氮化铝陶瓷电路板、铝基板、高频板、厚铜板、阻抗板等。在一些实施例中印刷电路板30也可以称为主板。

图2中示例性示出了电池51和充电管理模块52,以及一种印刷电路板30的示意性结构。印刷电路板30、电池51、充电管理模块52的安装位置示意图如图4所示。
参考图4,为了安装电池51,印刷电路板的结构可以设计为L型,如L型电路板31。如图所示,L型电路板31包括横向的主体区域301和从主体区域301上纵向延伸的窄条区域302。主体区域301和窄条区域302围绕电池51设置。这里,主体区域301相对窄条区域302来说,属于宽面区域,即主体区域301的宽度大于窄条区域302的宽度。
L型电路板31的主体区域301设置有与电路板相连接的充电管理模块52。L型电路板31上设置有充电接口板对板连接器(board-to-board,connector,BTB)(简称充电接口BTB)63和电池板对板连接器(简称电池BTB)64,其中,充电接口BTB 63用于将 充电接口61与电路板31相连接,电池BTB 64用于将电池51与电路板31相连接。
充电接口61设置于电子设备的边缘处,充电接口61与充电接口BTB 63可通过柔性电路板(flexible printed circuit,FPC)62相连接。该充电接口61可以为迷你(mini)通用串行总线(universal serial bus,USB)接口、微型(micro)USB接口、A型(type-A)USB接口、B型(type-B)USB接口、C型(type-C)USB接口等。应理解,充电接口61的具体类型可以根据电子设备类型不同而相应选择,在此不作限定。
图4中还示意性示出了电路板上的充电路径。充电接口61可以与外部的供电电源相连接,例如充电接口61通过充电线和充电适配器与外部的220V电源插座相连。充电接口61可以从外部电源获得为电池51充电的电压/电流。电压/电流依次通过柔性电路板62、充电接口BTB 63、电路板31传送到充电管理模块52。充电管理模块52可以将从外部获得的电压转换成电池51的电压,同时按照需要的充电电流精确可控地通过电池BTB 64向电池51进行充电。
另外,电池51在存储电量的情况下,能够通过电池BTB 64为电路板31上安装的电子元件供电。例如电池51可以为显示屏供电以维持显示屏亮度、刷新率等,可以为音频模块供电以发声,还可以为通信模块供电以发射射频信号等。
在充电过程中,电池51的充电电流需要通过电路板上的充电线路传送。在放电过程中,电池51的供电电流需要通过电路板上的供电线路传送。
目前,大多数电子设备内均设置印刷电路板来实现电子元件的电气互联。由于电子设备内部结构比较复杂,用来承载电子元件的印刷电路板的形状也需要根据实际需求相应设计。印刷电路板的形状为不规则设计时,其上一般都会存在宽度较窄的部分,例如图4所示的L型电路板31的窄条区域302,或窄条区域302上宽度最小的部分303等。
在这些宽度较窄的部分,电路板机械强度不够,容易发生断裂,存在机械可靠性问题。
此外,在这些宽度较窄的部分,电流流过的横截面积较小,根据电阻的计算公式R=ρL/S(其中ρ表示电阻的电阻率,L表示电阻的长度,S表示电阻的横截面积)可知,这些位置的阻抗往往比较大,存在阻抗瓶颈。当有较大电流通过时,该部分的电路板发热量大,大部分能量以热量形式消耗,导致电流利用效率低、电子设备壳体温度过高等。
图5示出了现有一种补强结构的示意性结构图。如图5所示,电路板上存在宽度较窄的区域303,为了解决电路板的机械可靠性问题,可以在区域303上焊接不锈钢片305,以此加强电路板的强度,降低电路板的断板风险。另外,为了避免不锈钢片305与导电的电路板支架或中框接触或接近进而导致电学功能或性能异常,补强结构不锈钢片305通常是接地(ground,GND)的。
但这种焊接不锈钢片的方案只能起到改善电路板机械可靠性的作用,并不能提升电路板的电学性能。因此,本申请实施例提供了一种补强结构,既能够提高电路板的机械可靠性,还可以降低电路板阻抗,提高电流的利用率。
图6示出了本申请实施例提供的一种补强结构的示意性结构图。
为方便描述,以下实施例将印刷电路板上需要设置补强结构的区域称为补强区。本申请实施例中,补强区可以为印刷电路板上阻抗较高的区域,例如印刷电路板上宽度较窄的区域或印刷电路板上电流所流过的通路较长的区域,补强区也可以为印刷电路板上需要通过大电流的区域等。
如图6所示,本申请实施例中的补强结构包括导电片311和罩状结构312。
导电片311为预成型的片状结构,用于为电流提供通路。
罩状结构312为中空罩状,其上形成有容纳空间,容纳空间用于收容导电片311。罩状结构312用于隔离导电片311与周围的金属结构件,防止发生短路。
印刷电路板32包括补强区304。参考图6所示的放大示意图,补强区304包括第一连接区304a和第二连接区304b,第二连接区304b围绕第一连接区304a设置。
第一连接区304a用于连接导电片311,其中导电片311平行设置于(例如贴附于)第一连接区304a。补强区304设置了导电片311后的结构如图6中的补强区306所示。本申请实施例中,第一连接区304a与印刷电路板32上的功能网络相连接,导电片311与第一连接区304a电连接,并且导电片311与印刷电路板32的功能网络以并联方式电连接。
因此,当与导电片311电连接的电路网路中有电流通过时,电流也将流经导电片311。导电片311为功能网络中的电流提供了通路,相当于增大了电流流过的横截面积,根据上述电阻的计算公式可以知道,导电片311可以降低补强区304的阻抗。补强区304的阻抗降低,在补强区304产生的热量减少,可以降低电路板32的温度,进而降低传导电路板热量的其他部件例如电子设备壳体的温度,能够改善电子设备的散热,提高用户体验。电路板产生的热量减少,相应地电流的利用率提高。
第二连接区304b用于连接罩状结构312。该罩状结构312罩住该导电片311,,即当罩状结构312设置于第二连接区304b时,罩状结构312与印刷电路板32之间形成容纳空间,例如封闭的容纳空间,设置于第一连接区304a的导电片311收容于该容纳空间中。补强区306上设置了罩状结构312后的结构如图中的补强区308所示。由于导电片311与印刷电路板32的功能网络连接,本申请实施例中的罩状结构312可以隔离导电片311与周围的金属结构件,防止导电片311与周围金属件相接触而导致短路。换句话说,罩状结构312为一种防短路结构。
补强区304设置的导电片311和罩状结构312,能够增强电路板的机械可靠性,降低断板风险。此外,中空的罩状结构312相比现有技术中的不锈钢片而言,具有更强的抗变形能力,因此,本申请实施例采用罩状结构进行补强的方式相比现有技术中采用不锈钢片进行补强的方式,能够显著提升电路板的机械可靠性。
本申请实施例中,导电片311为高电导率片状结构。导电片311的材料可以是单一成分的金属(例如铜、铝、银),可以是合金(例如铜合金(也称洋白铜)、铝合金),还可以是导电复合材料(例如导电塑料、导电橡胶、导电纤维织物、导电涂料、导电胶粘剂)。
可选地,该导电片311与印刷电路板32固定连接。固定连接的方式可以包括但不限于焊接、胶接、螺丝连接等,只要能够将导电片311与印刷电路板32固定在一起即可。
示例性的,导电片311与印刷电路板32之间可以通过焊料(例如合金焊料)或导电胶相连接。例如,补强区304的第一连接区304a包括用于连接导电片311的第一焊盘,该第一焊盘与印刷电路板32上的功能网络相连接。导电片311可以通过焊接方式与印刷电路板32相连接,通过第一焊盘与印刷电路板32上的功能网络并联电连接。
应理解,导电片311的厚度可以根据电子设备的内部空间、可以容忍的断板风险以及需要满足的电学性能指标(例如阻抗指标、壳体温度、电流利用效率等)等实际需要相应确定,本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。
导电片311的厚度可以是均匀的,也可以是不均匀的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中,罩状结构312的材料可以为导电材料,导电材料包括但不限于单一成分的金属(例如铜、铝、银)、合金(例如铜合金(也称洋白铜)、铝合金)、导电复合材料(例如导电塑料、导电橡胶、导电纤维织物、导电涂料、导电胶粘剂)。在一些实施例中,罩状结构312的材料和导电片311的材料可以是相同的。罩状结构312的材料也可以是绝缘材料,绝缘材料包括但不限于绝缘胶、纤维制品、绝缘橡胶、绝缘塑料及其制品、玻璃、绝缘陶瓷等。
可选地,该罩状结构312与印刷电路板32固定连接。固定连接的方式可以包括但不限于焊接、胶接、螺丝连接等,只要能够将罩状结构312与印刷电路板32固定在一起即可。
示例性的,罩状结构312与印刷电路板32之间可以通过焊料(例如合金焊料)、导电胶或绝缘胶相连接。应理解,罩状结构312与印刷电路板32包括焊料层或胶层,图6中未予以示出。
作为一个示例,补强区304的第二连接区304b包括用于连接罩状结构312的第二焊盘,参考图6,罩状结构312可以通过焊接方式连接在第二焊盘上。这种情况下,罩状结构312可以采用能够进行焊接工艺的金属材料制成。
可选地,当罩状结构312为金属材料时,罩状结构312可以通过第二焊盘与印刷电路板32的地网络相连接,也可以为悬浮态,即不与印刷电路板32上任何网络相连接。本申请实施例中,罩状结构为悬浮状态时,即不与功能网络电连接,也不与GND网络电连接。
作为另一个示例,补强区304的第二连接区304b可以设置导电胶,罩状结构312通过导电胶与印刷电路板32相连接。这种情况下,罩状结构312可以为金属材料,也可以为绝缘材料。
可选地,当罩状结构312为金属材料时,罩状结构312可以通过导电胶与印刷电路板32的地网络相连接,也可以为悬浮态,即不与印刷电路板32上任何网络相连接。
作为另一个示例,补强区304的第二连接区304b可以设置绝缘胶,罩状结构312通过绝缘胶与印刷电路板32相连接。
本申请实施例中,罩状结构312与导电片311之间可以设置间隙,可以不设置间隙,具体需要根据罩状结构312的材料相应确定。
例如,当罩状结构312为金属材料时,罩状结构312与导电片311之间需要设置间隙。参考图6中的补强区沿B-B线剖开的截面(设置间隙)示意图,罩状结构312与导电片311不接触。罩状结构312与导电片311之间的间隙可以根据实际需要设计,例如该间隙可以大于0.2mm。
可选地,罩状结构312与导电片311之间的间隙中可以设置绝缘填充物。
又如,当罩状结构312为绝缘材料时,罩状结构312与导电片311之间可以设置间隙。参考图6中的补强区沿B-B线剖开的截面(设置间隙)示意图,该间隙大小可以根据电子设备内部的空间大小设计,例如该间隙大于0。当然,罩状结构312与导电片311也可以不设置间隙,参考图6中的补强区沿B-B线剖开的截面(不设置间隙)示意图,罩状结构312可以直接与导电片311相接触。
应理解,罩状结构312的厚度可以根据电子设备的内部空间、可以容忍的断板风险以 及需要满足的电学性能指标(例如散热效果等)等实际需要相应确定,本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。
罩状结构312的厚度可以是均匀的,也可以是不均匀的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
图7示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种补强结构的示意性结构图。
与图6所示的结构不同的是,图7中的补强结构不需要额外焊接高电导率的片状结构件,而直接在印刷电路板32的补强区304印刷焊料(例如合金焊料)或点涂导电胶,然后通过加热或光学固化使焊料或导电胶固化。固化的焊料或导电胶直接作为导电片。换句话说,图6所示的导电片为预成型的片状结构,图7所示的导电片可以为通过固化焊料或导电胶而形成的片状结构。
应理解,本申请实施例中预成型可以理解为不直接在印刷电路板上成型,而是脱离印刷电路板单独成型的。导电片为通过固化焊料或导电胶而形成的片状结构时,导电片可以是在印刷电路板上印刷的焊料固化后形成的片状结构,或者为在印刷电路板上点涂的导电胶固化后形成的片状结构。
具体的,参考图7所示的放大示意图,补强区304包括第一连接区304a和第二连接区304b,第二连接区304b围绕第一连接区304a设置。第一连接区304a处设置导电片311,其中导电片311为固化的合金焊接或导电胶。导电片311与印刷电路板32中的功能网络电连接。
第二连接区304b用于与罩状结构312相连接。补强区304上设置罩状结构312后的结构如图中的补强区308所示。罩状结构312可以采用如图6中所述的结构、材料和连接方式,具体可参考上文描述,在此不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,导电片311为功能网络中的电流提供了通路,增大了电流流过的横截面积,能够降低补强区304的阻抗。补强区304的阻抗降低,印刷电路板32产生的热量减少,电路板的温度降低,进而用于传导电路板热量的其他部件例如电子设备壳体的温度降低,电子设备的散热情况得以改善,电流的利用率得以提高。
另一方面,导电片311和罩状结构312能够增强电路板的机械可靠性,降低断板风险。
可选地,导电片311为固化的焊料(例如合金焊料)时,可以通过印刷、点涂、喷射等工艺实现。
可选地,合金焊料可以为锡膏。
当采用焊料制备导电片311时,导电片311实际相当于焊盘。因此导电片311可以在制备印刷电路板上的焊盘的工艺流程中同时制备出来。由于直接采用焊盘作为导电片,便无需额外焊接片状结构件,简化了工艺流程,节省了额外的片状结构的成本,并且能够利用现有的工艺流程完成导电片的设置。
可选地,导电片311为固化的导电胶时,可以在印刷电路板上先点涂导电胶,通过加热或光学固化得到固态的导电片311。直接采用导电胶作为导电片,无需额外连接片状结构件,能够简化工艺流程、节约成本。
本申请实施例中,罩状结构312与导电片311之间可以设置间隙,也可以不设置间隙,具体需要根据罩状结构312的材料相应确定。具体情况可以参考图6中的相关描述,为简洁,在此不再赘述。示例性地,图7示出了补强区沿C-C线剖开的一种截面示意图,其中罩状结构312与导电片311相隔。
应理解,导电片311的厚度(即焊料或导电胶的厚度)可以根据电子设备的内部空间、可以容忍的断板风险以及需要满足的电学性能指标(例如阻抗指标、壳体温度、电流利用效率等)等实际需要相应确定,本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。
导电片311的厚度(即焊料或导电胶的厚度)可以是均匀的,也可以是不均匀的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
当采用焊料或导电胶作为导电片时,导电片的厚度可以做到很小,例如小于0.2mm,这样补强结构的整体高度降低,可以占用更小的内部空间。
图8示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种补强结构的示意性结构图。
与图6所示的结构不同的是,图8中的补强结构不需要额外连接罩状结构,而采用直接在导电片上喷涂绝缘层,以绝缘层作为防短路结构,将导电片与周围金属结构件相隔开。
具体的,参考图8所示的放大示意图,补强区304包括第一连接304a,该第一连接304a用于与导电片311相连接。导电片311与印刷电路板32中的功能网络并联连接。导电片311可以采用如图6中所述的结构、材料和连接方式,具体可参考上文描述,在此不再赘述。补强区304设置了导电片311后的结构如图8中的补强区308所示。
参考图8示出的补强区沿D-D线剖开的截面示意图,导电片311上包覆有绝缘层313,绝缘层313覆盖导电片311裸露在外的所有表面。导电片311裸露在外的所有表面包括导电片311上与印刷电路板32相连接的表面以外的表面(即焊接面以外的面,也可以称为非连接面),即包括导电片311的顶部和侧壁。
可选地,绝缘层313的厚度可以为0.01mm-0.2mm,或者比0.01mm更小,或者比0.2mm更大。应理解,绝缘层313的厚度可以根据电子设备的内部空间等实际需要相应确定,本申请实施例在此不作特殊限定。
绝缘层313可以是在导电片311成型后或出厂前喷涂于导电片311上,也可以是在将导电片311与印刷电路板32连接之后喷涂于导电片311上,本申请实施例不作限定。
本申请实施例中,导电片311为功能网络中的电流提供了通路,增大了电流流过的横截面积,能够降低补强区304的阻抗。补强区304的阻抗降低,印刷电路板产生的热量减少,电路板的温度降低,进而用于传导电路板热量的其他部件例如电子设备壳体的温度降低,电子设备的散热情况得以改善,电流利用率得以提升。
另外,导电片311能够增强电路板的机械可靠性,降低断板风险。
应理解,导电片311的厚度可以根据电子设备的内部空间、可以容忍的断板风险以及需要满足的电学性能指标(例如阻抗指标、壳体温度、电流利用效率等)等实际需要相应确定,本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。
导电片311的厚度可以是均匀的,也可以是不均匀的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在其他一些实施例中,导电片311也可以为固化的焊料或导电胶等。即在图7所示的结构基础上,省略罩状结构312,直接在导电片311上喷涂绝缘层。绝缘层可以起到与罩状结构312相同的作用。
在一些实施例中,图8中的导电片311也可以替换为其他形状的导电件,例如罩状结构等,在这些导电件裸露在外的表面上包覆绝缘层,可以实现与导电片311同样的效果。
本申请实施例中,补强区不需要设置专门的和导电片311分离的罩状防短路结构,而采用在导电片311上涂绝缘层313,可以降低电路板的厚度,节省专门的和导电片分离的 罩状防短路设计的成本,避免了导电片和防短路结构之间的焊接短路问题。
图9示出了本申请实施例提供的又一种补强结构的示意性结构图。
与图6所示的结构不同的是,图9中的补强结构根据电路板的实际形状做了结构优化。
具体的,参考图9所示的放大示意图,补强区304包括第一连接区304a、第二连接区304b和延伸区304c,第二连接区304b围绕第一连接区304a设置,延伸区304c与第二连接区304b相连,且从第二连接区304b向外延伸。第一连接区304a用于连接导电片311,第二连接区304b和延伸区304c用于连接罩状结构312。应理解,延伸区304c的位置可以根据印刷电路板32的具体形状确定,本申请实施例不作限定。
第一连接区304a与印刷电路板32上的功能网络相连接,导电片311与第一连接区304a电连接,且导电片311与电路板的功能网络以并联方式电连接。补强区304设置了导电片311后的结构如图9中的补强区306所示。
第二连接区304b和延伸区304c用于与罩状结构312相连接。补强区306上设置了罩状结构312后的结构如图9中的补强区308所示。参考图9中补强区沿E-E线剖开的截面示意图,罩状结构312形成有容纳空间,用于收容导电片311,罩状结构312包括与延伸区304c相连接的延伸面。罩状结构312可以采用如图6中所述的材料和连接方式,具体可参考上文描述,在此不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,导电片311为功能网络中的电流提供了通路,增大了电流流过的横截面积,能够降低补强区304的阻抗。补强区304的阻抗降低,印刷电路板产生的热量减少,电路板的温度降低,进而用于传导电路板热量的其他部件例如电子设备壳体的温度降低,电子设备的散热情况得以改善,可以提高用户体验。
另外,导电片311和罩状结构312能够增强电路板的机械可靠性,降低断板风险。本申请实施例对罩状结构312做了结构优化设计,延伸面的设计能够增加罩状结构312与印刷电路板32的接触面积,进一步增强电路板的机械强度,提高电路板的机械可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图9所示,印刷电路板32包括第一电路板部分321和第二电路板部分322,第一电路板部分321和第二电路板部分322可分离。补强区位于第一电路板部分321上,则补强结构设置于第一电路板部分321上。如图中所示,补强区304的延伸区304c与第二电路板部分322交错设置,相应地,罩状结构312的延伸面与第二电路板部分322交错设置。
本申请实施例中,补强结构中的罩状结构312与第二电路板部分322交错设置,可以进一步提高电路板的机械可靠性。
应理解,本领域技术人员根据电路板的形状还可以做其他形式的结构优化设计,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
还应理解,本申请实施例仅以导电片为例进行的说明,在一些其他实施例中,导电片311可以替换为其他形状或结构的导电件,同样可以实现与导电片相同的效果,本申请实施例对此不作限定。也就是说,补强结构中包括导电件和罩状结构,其中导电件与印刷电路板上的功能网络并联电连接,罩状结构罩住导电件,并且印刷电路板相连。或者补强结构中包括导电件,该导电件与印刷电路板上的功能网络并联电连接,导电件裸露在外的表面包覆有绝缘层。导电件的一个具体的示例可以为上文所述的导电片311。
本申请实施例还提供一种电路板,该电路板上设置了本申请实施例提供的补强结构。 补强结构中的导电件可以采用高电导率片状结构、罩状结构、焊料(例如合金焊料)或导电胶层等与电路板中的功能网络并联电连接。导电件可以为电流提供通路,增大了电流流过的横截面积,能够起到降低阻抗、改善散热、提升电流利用效率的作用。
另一方面,在导电件例如高电导率片状结构、焊料或导电胶层的非焊接面增加绝缘罩状结构、绝缘涂层或与电路板的地网络相连接的罩状结构,可以避免导电件例如高电导率片状结构、焊料或导电胶层等和周围金属元件例如中框、电路板支架等接地结构件发生短路。
电路板上设置的补强结构还可以增强电路板的机械可靠性,降低断板风险。
应理解,本申请实施例提供的补强结构可以设置于电路板上的任意位置。例如,补强结构可以设置在电路板上存在阻抗瓶颈的位置,可以设置在电路板上电流通路较长的位置,可以设置在电路板上宽度较窄的位置,还可以设置在电路板上发热严重的位置。
还应理解,本申请实施例中导电片所连接的功能网络包括但不限于充电网络(例如总线电压(voltage bus,VBUS)线路)、为显示屏供电的网络、为音频模块供电的网络以及其他有降低阻抗、改善散热、提升效率、增加电路板机械可靠性的场景。
图10示出了本申请实施例提供的补强结构和现有补强结构的应变仿真示意图。
这里,图10是将补强结构应用于L型电路板的窄条区域所进行的应变仿真。图10中的(a)示出的是现有技术中采用不锈钢片进行补强的应变仿真示意图,图10中的(b)示出的是采用图9所示的补强结构(导电片和罩状结构)进行补强的应变仿真示意图。
示例性的,图10中的(a)所采用的补强结构为0.3mm厚度的不锈钢片,图10中(b)所采用的导电片为0.2mm厚的洋白铜片,罩状结构为0.2mm厚的不锈钢。从图10中可以看出,采用不锈钢片进行补强时,单板组装应变为5494微应变(微应变单位:ue),而采用申请实施例提供的洋白铜片和不锈钢罩状结构进行补强时,单板组装应变为5102ue。
因此,本申请实施例提供的补强结构能够提高电路板的抗变形能力,断板风险可接受,且低于常规的补强钢片设计。
表1示出了图10中(b)所仿真的补强结构对电学性能的改善效果。
本申请实施例以补强结构应用于充电网络(例如VBUS线路)为例,对无导电片(示例为洋白铜片)和有导电片两种情况下的电路板的电学性能进行了测试对比。
表1
Figure PCTCN2021116854-appb-000001
从表1中可以看出,在不设置洋白铜片的情况下,电路板的阻抗实测为14.3毫欧姆(mΩ),极限充电模式在的最高壳体温度为37.3℃,极限充电模式下的充电效率为84.8%。 在设置洋白铜片的情况下(即将洋白铜片与电路板的充电线路电连接),电路板的阻抗实测为13.7mΩ,极限充电模式在的最高壳体温度为36.8℃,极限充电模式下的充电效率为86.3%。相应地,设置洋白铜片能够将阻抗降低0.6mΩ,将极限充电模式在的最高壳体温度降低0.5℃,将极限充电模式下的充电效率提升1.5%。
因此,本申请实施例提供的补强结构能够降低阻抗,改善散热,提升充电效率,以及增加单板可靠性。
应理解,本申请实施例所涉及的极限充电模式可以理解为需要大电流、大电压进行充电的模式,例如快充模式。
还应理解,针对不同的应用场景,本领域技术人员可以对本申请实施例提供的补强结构在材质、结构和厚度上进行优化设计,以满足电学性性能指标和机械强度。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
