In FIG. 1, the first housing 011 is rotatably connected to the second housing 012 through the rotating shaft structure 02, and the folding screen 07 is arranged on the first housing 011, One side of the rotating shaft structure 02 and the second housing 012, when the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 rotate relative or opposite to each other under the action of the rotating shaft structure 02, can drive the folding of the folding screen 07, for example, In FIG. 1 , when the first housing 011 is rotated in the direction P1 and the second housing 012 is rotated in the direction P2, the folding screen 07 can be switched from the flattened state to the closed state.
一般,第一壳体011和第二壳体012上会分别设置有不同功能的电子器件,例如,在图1中,印制电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)03设置在第一壳体011上,电池04设置在第二壳体012上,印制电路板03需要与电池04电连接,目前,常采用柔性电路板(flexible printed circuit,FPC)05作为电连接结构实现印制电路板03和电池04的互连。Generally, the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 are respectively provided with electronic devices with different functions. For example, in FIG. First, the battery 04 is set on the second housing 012, and the printed circuit board 03 needs to be electrically connected to the battery 04. At present, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 05 is often used as the electrical connection structure to realize the printed circuit board 03 Interconnection with battery 04.

Furthermore, the requirements for the bendable life of the flexible circuit board 05 are relatively high, and in order to increase the service life of the flexible circuit board 05, There are also requirements for the shape of the flexible circuit board 05 during bending, which is controllable.

随着移动终端尺寸的减小,需要缩短图1的L方向的尺寸,从而,使得第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的间距S也在不断减小,但是柔性电路板05沿L方向的尺寸,以及折弯的形态是基本维持不变,那么,如何在图1的L方向的尺寸不断缩小的情况下,还需要维持柔性电路板05的折弯区域的折弯形态基本不变是当前亟待解决的问题。With the reduction of the size of the mobile terminal, it is necessary to shorten the size of the L direction in FIG. The dimensions in the L direction and the shape of the bending are basically kept unchanged, so how to maintain the bending shape of the bending area of the flexible circuit board 05 under the condition that the size of the L direction in Fig. 1 is continuously reduced. Change is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

那么,为了使得电池04给电路板03供电,需要设置一种横跨在第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的电连接结构。又由于电子设备在使用过程中,第一壳体011和第二壳体012需要反复多次相对或者相背运动,进而需要采用一种具有柔性的、包含有折弯部的,从而可以弯折的电连接结构,比如,可以采用柔性电路板(flexible printed circuit,FPC),图4中示出了柔性电路板05的其中一种可实现结构。Then, in order for the battery 04 to supply power to the circuit board 03 , it is necessary to provide an electrical connection structure spanning between the first casing 011 and the second casing 012 . Since the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 need to move relative or opposite each other repeatedly during the use of the electronic device, it is necessary to use a flexible housing that includes a bending part so that it can be bent For example, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) can be used for the electrical connection structure, and FIG. 4 shows one of the realizable structures of the flexible printed circuit 05.
随着电子设备100的小型化设计,如图4所示的,电子设备100的沿L方向的尺寸在逐渐减小,以使得位于第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的容纳柔性电路板05的空间也在不断减小。但是,柔性电路板05的折弯形态是基本不能变的,比如,不能因为第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的沿L方向的尺寸减小,就可以减小柔性电路板05的折弯部的曲率半径,若折弯部的曲率半径减小的话,在第一壳体011和第二壳体012的反复折叠情况下,会严重缩短折弯部的折弯寿命,甚至可能导致柔性电路板05的电连接性能失效。With the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100, as shown in FIG. The space of the circuit board 05 is also continuously reduced. However, the bending shape of the flexible circuit board 05 cannot be changed basically. For example, the size of the flexible circuit board 05 cannot be reduced because the dimension between the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 along the L direction is reduced. The radius of curvature of the bent portion, if the radius of curvature of the bent portion is reduced, in the case of repeated folding of the first shell 011 and the second shell 012, the bending life of the bent portion will be seriously shortened, and may even As a result, the electrical connection performance of the flexible circuit board 05 fails.
基于上述对位于第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的容纳柔性电路板05的空间在不断减小的情况下,本申请给出了一种新型的设置柔性电路板05的结构,那么,即使电子设备100的沿L方向的尺寸在逐渐减小,该设置结构也基本不会改变柔性电路板05的折弯部的折弯形态。下面对涉及的结构进行详细介绍。Based on the fact that the space for accommodating the flexible circuit board 05 between the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 is constantly decreasing, this application presents a new structure for setting the flexible circuit board 05, Then, even if the dimension of the electronic device 100 along the L direction is gradually reduced, the arrangement structure basically does not change the bending form of the bending portion of the flexible circuit board 05 . The structures involved are described in detail below.

This FIG. 5 may be a partially simplified diagram obtained by cutting along the A-A direction of FIG. 3 . FIG. 6 is an exploded diagram of FIG. 5 . 7 shows a simplified diagram of a partial structure of another electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. In the structures shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 , the rotating shaft structure 02 located between the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 is omitted. Combined with FIG. 5 , FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , part of the first housing 011 , part of the second housing 012 , and part of the flexible circuit board 05 of the electronic device 100 of the present application are shown. Wherein, one end of the first housing 011 close to the rotating shaft structure 02 is formed with a first mounting surface M1, and one end of the second housing 012 close to the rotating shaft structure 02 is formed with a second mounting surface M2, and the first mounting surface M1 and The second installation surface M2 is an inclined surface, for example, both the first installation surface M1 and the second installation surface M2 may be inclined planes.
如图5和图6所示的,第一壳体011具有相对的第一面A1和第二面B1,第二壳体012具有相对的第三面A2和第四面B2,第一面A1和第三面A2位于同一侧,第二面B1和第四面B2位于同一侧,柔性屏07可以被设置在第一面A1和第三面A2一侧,这样的话,当第一壳体011依照图5所示的P1方向旋转,第二壳体012依照图5所示的P2方向旋转时,形成的电子设备为内折式电子设备;或者,在另外一些可选择的实现方式中,柔性屏07可以被设置在第二面B1和第四面B2一侧。As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the first shell 011 has the opposite first face A1 and the second face B1, the second shell 012 has the opposite third face A2 and the fourth face B2, the first face A1 It is located on the same side as the third surface A2, the second surface B1 and the fourth surface B2 are located on the same side, and the flexible screen 07 can be arranged on the side of the first surface A1 and the third surface A2. In this way, when the first housing 011 When the second housing 012 rotates in the direction P1 shown in FIG. 5 and the second housing 012 rotates in the direction P2 shown in FIG. 5 , the electronic device formed is an inward-folding electronic device; The screen 07 may be disposed on the sides of the second face B1 and the fourth face B2.
可以这样理解第一安装面M1和第二安装面M2的倾斜设置方式,其中,图5和图6给出了第一安装面M1和第二安装面M2的一种设置方式,即沿着第二面B1至第一面A1的方向(也就是图5和图6中所示的T1方向),第一安装面M1自第一壳体011朝靠近转轴结构02的方向倾斜,第二安装面M2自第二壳体012朝靠近转轴结构02的方向倾斜。另外,图7给出了第一安装面M1和第二安装面M2的另一种设置方式,即沿着第一面A1至第二面B1的方向(也就是图7中所示的T2方向,T2方向是与图6中的T1方向相反的方向),第一安装面M1自第一壳体011朝靠近转轴结构02的方向倾斜,第二安装面M2自第二壳体012朝靠近转轴结构02的方向倾斜。The oblique arrangement of the first installation surface M1 and the second installation surface M2 can be understood in this way, wherein, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show an arrangement method of the first installation surface M1 and the second installation surface M2, that is, along the The direction from the second surface B1 to the first surface A1 (that is, the T1 direction shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6), the first installation surface M1 is inclined from the first housing 011 toward the direction close to the shaft structure 02, the second installation surface M2 is inclined from the second housing 012 toward the direction close to the rotating shaft structure 02 . In addition, FIG. 7 shows another arrangement of the first mounting surface M1 and the second mounting surface M2, that is, along the direction from the first surface A1 to the second surface B1 (that is, the T2 direction shown in FIG. 7 , the T2 direction is the direction opposite to the T1 direction in FIG. The orientation of structure 02 is tilted.
也就是说,本申请给出的第一安装面M1和第二安装面M2均不是与第一面A1或者第二面B1相平行的面,而是相对第一面A1或者第二面B1具有夹角不等于零的的面。That is to say, the first mounting surface M1 and the second mounting surface M2 given in this application are not parallel to the first surface A1 or the second surface B1, but have A face whose included angle is not equal to zero.
继续结合图5、图6和图7,柔性电路板05的一部分沿与第一安装面M1相平行的方向布设,并固定在第一安装面M1上,以形成图6所示的第一固定部Q1;柔性电路板05的另一部分沿与第二安装面M2相平行的方向布设,并固定在第二安装面M2上,以形成图6所示的第二固定部Q2;以及,柔性电路板05的位于第一固定部Q1和第二固定部Q2之间的部分折弯,形成图6所示的折弯部Q3。Continuing with FIG. 5 , FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , a part of the flexible circuit board 05 is arranged along a direction parallel to the first installation surface M1 and fixed on the first installation surface M1 to form the first fixed surface shown in FIG. 6 . part Q1; another part of the flexible circuit board 05 is arranged along a direction parallel to the second mounting surface M2, and fixed on the second mounting surface M2 to form the second fixing part Q2 shown in FIG. 6; and, the flexible circuit board A portion of the plate 05 located between the first fixing portion Q1 and the second fixing portion Q2 is bent to form a bent portion Q3 shown in FIG. 6 .
结合图8,介绍图5和图6所示电子设备在由展平状态向闭合状态切换时柔性电路板05的折弯过程。见图8,第一壳体011沿P1方向旋转,第二壳体012沿P2方向旋转,由于第一固定部Q1固定在第一安装面M1上,进而第一固定部Q1随第一壳体011可以同步转动,以及,由于第二固定部Q2固定在第二安装面M2上,进而第二固定部Q2随第二壳体012也可以同步转动,如此的话,对比图5至图8所示的两种不同状态的结构图,可以看出,在第一壳体011和第二壳体012持续转动的过程中,第一固定部Q1和第二固定部Q2使得折弯部Q3的折弯形态在不断的变化,即折弯部Q3的曲率半径在逐渐增大,最终折弯部Q3配合转动结构实现电子设备的闭合。With reference to FIG. 8 , the bending process of the flexible circuit board 05 when the electronic device shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is switched from the flattened state to the closed state is introduced. As shown in Figure 8, the first housing 011 rotates in the direction of P1, and the second housing 012 rotates in the direction of P2. Since the first fixing part Q1 is fixed on the first installation surface M1, the first fixing part Q1 follows the direction of the first housing. 011 can rotate synchronously, and since the second fixing part Q2 is fixed on the second mounting surface M2, the second fixing part Q2 can also rotate synchronously with the second housing 012, in this case, as shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 From the structural diagrams of the two different states, it can be seen that during the continuous rotation of the first housing 011 and the second housing 012, the first fixing part Q1 and the second fixing part Q2 make the bending of the bending part Q3 The shape is constantly changing, that is, the radius of curvature of the bending portion Q3 is gradually increasing, and finally the bending portion Q3 cooperates with the rotating structure to realize the closing of the electronic device.
另外,图9还给出了本申请实施例另一种电子设备100部分结构的简化图,图9所示实施例和上述图5和图6所示实施例相同的是:用于固定第一固定部Q1的第一安装面M1,和用于固定第二固定部Q2的第二安装面M2也均为倾斜的面。图9所示实施例和上述图5和图6所示实施例不同的是:当电子设备处于展平状态时,在图5和图6中的折弯部Q3包括了朝第二面B1凸出的一个凸出部,然而,在图9中,当电 子设备处于展平状态时,折弯部Q3包括了朝第二面B1凸出的两个凸出部,分别为第一凸出部Q31和第二凸出部Q32。In addition, FIG. 9 also shows a simplified diagram of the partial structure of another electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is the same as the above-mentioned embodiments shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. The first installation surface M1 of the fixing part Q1 and the second installation surface M2 for fixing the second fixing part Q2 are also inclined surfaces. The difference between the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 and the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 above is that when the electronic device is in a flattened state, the bending part Q3 in FIG. 5 and FIG. However, in FIG. 9, when the electronic device is in the flattened state, the bent portion Q3 includes two protruding parts protruding toward the second surface B1, which are respectively the first protruding part Q31 and the second protrusion Q32.
在其他一些可选择的实现方式中,可以在图9的基础上设置更多的凸出部。本申请对折弯部Q3的凸出部的数量,以及曲率半径值不做特殊限定。In some other optional implementation manners, more protrusions may be provided on the basis of FIG. 9 . In the present application, there is no special limitation on the number of protruding parts and the value of the radius of curvature of the bending part Q3.
再一并结合图5、图6和图9,当电子设备处于展平状态时,折弯部Q3的靠近第一固定部Q1的部分,以及折弯部Q3的靠近第二固定部Q2的部分,均朝第一侧面A1方向凸出。如此的话,可以使得第一固定部Q1平滑的过渡至折弯部Q3,同理的,可以使得第二固定部Q2也平滑的过渡至折弯部Q3。5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 9 together, when the electronic device is in the flattened state, the part of the bent part Q3 close to the first fixing part Q1, and the part of the bent part Q3 close to the second fixing part Q2 , all protrude toward the direction of the first side A1. In this way, the first fixing portion Q1 can be smoothly transitioned to the bent portion Q3 , and similarly, the second fixing portion Q2 can also be smoothly transitioned to the bent portion Q3 .
基于上述对图5、图6、图7和图8,以及图9所示柔性电路板05在第一壳体011和第二壳体012上固定方式的描述,可以看出,用于固定柔性电路板05的第一固定部Q1和第二固定部Q2的安装面,相比于现有技术的图1的安装面,本申请的安装面为倾斜的面,下面结合图10a和图10b解释当采用倾斜面固定柔性电路板05的第一固定部Q1和第二固定部Q2时,是如何在电子设备100的沿L方向的尺寸在逐渐减小的情况下,还基本不会改变柔性电路板05的折弯部Q3的折弯形态。Based on the above descriptions of Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, and the way of fixing the flexible circuit board 05 on the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 shown in Fig. 9, it can be seen that for fixing the flexible circuit board 05 The installation surfaces of the first fixed part Q1 and the second fixed part Q2 of the circuit board 05, compared with the installation surface of the prior art shown in FIG. When using the inclined surface to fix the first fixing part Q1 and the second fixing part Q2 of the flexible circuit board 05, how can the size of the electronic device 100 along the L direction gradually decrease without changing the flexible circuit substantially? The bending form of the bending part Q3 of the board 05.
如图10a所示,图10a示出的是现有技术的柔性电路板的一种固定方式结构图,图10b示出的是本申请的柔性电路板的一种固定方式结构图。在图10b中,第一安装面M1相对第一面A1倾斜角度为45°,第二安装面M2相对第一面A1倾斜角度为-45°。如图10a,当固定第一固定部Q1的水平安装面沿L方向的S1尺寸为2mm时,对应到图10b,仅需要倾斜的第一安装面M1沿L方向的S2尺寸为1.414mm,就可以维持第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间依然包括两个凸出部,且每一凸出部的曲率半径基本不发生变化,也就是说,可以维持第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的折弯部的折弯形态基本不变。As shown in FIG. 10a, FIG. 10a shows a structure diagram of a fixing method of a flexible circuit board in the prior art, and FIG. 10b shows a structure diagram of a fixing method of a flexible circuit board of the present application. In FIG. 10 b , the inclination angle of the first installation surface M1 relative to the first surface A1 is 45°, and the inclination angle of the second installation surface M2 relative to the first surface A1 is -45°. As shown in Figure 10a, when the dimension S1 along the L direction of the first fixed part Q1 is 2mm, corresponding to Figure 10b, only the S2 dimension of the inclined first installation surface M1 along the L direction is 1.414mm, then There are still two protrusions between the first housing 011 and the second housing 012, and the radius of curvature of each protrusion does not change substantially, that is to say, the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 can be maintained The bending form of the bending portion between the two casings 012 is basically unchanged.
除此之外,由于将图10a的水平安装面变更为图10b的倾斜安装面,进而,自第一固定部Q1朝折弯部Q3过渡的起弧切点会由图10a中的C1位置移动至图10b的C2位置,对应的起弧切点的移动量S4尺寸为1.3mm。这样一来,第一壳体011可以由图10a位置沿L方向移动S3=1.886mm,从而移动至图10b位置,同理的,第二壳体012也会由移动S3=1.886mm。如此的话,整个电子设备的沿L方向的尺寸就可以微缩3.772mm。In addition, since the horizontal mounting surface in FIG. 10a is changed to the inclined mounting surface in FIG. 10b, the arcing tangent point transitioning from the first fixing part Q1 to the bending part Q3 will move from the position C1 in FIG. 10a To the position C2 in Fig. 10b, the corresponding moving amount S4 of the arcing tangent point is 1.3 mm. In this way, the first housing 011 can be moved from the position in FIG. 10a along the L direction by S3=1.886mm, thereby moving to the position in FIG. 10b. Similarly, the second housing 012 will also be moved by S3=1.886mm. In this case, the size of the entire electronic device along the L direction can be reduced by 3.772mm.
从另一思路考虑的话,相比现有技术,当第一壳体011和第二壳体012的沿L方向的尺寸不变时,若采用本申请的图10b的柔性电路板的固定方式,可以节省3.772mm的尺寸,这样就可以为其他结构件避让出更多的容纳空间,比如,可以增加防水结构的尺寸,以提升该电子设备的防水性能;或者,可以增加电池尺寸,以增加电池容量;又或者,可以增加电路板的尺寸,以在电路板上设置更多的电子器件,适配该电子设备的高配置性能要求。From another point of view, compared with the prior art, when the dimensions of the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 along the L direction remain unchanged, if the fixing method of the flexible circuit board shown in Figure 10b of the present application is adopted, The size of 3.772mm can be saved, so that more accommodation space can be avoided for other structural parts. For example, the size of the waterproof structure can be increased to improve the waterproof performance of the electronic device; or, the size of the battery can be increased to increase the battery capacity. capacity; or, the size of the circuit board can be increased to accommodate more electronic devices on the circuit board to meet the high configuration performance requirements of the electronic device.
另外,由于位于第一壳体011和第二壳体012之间的柔性电路板05的两端均固定在相对应的壳体结构上,这样,使得柔性电路板05不会沿着L方向左右偏移,多次折弯后形态一致性明显的提高,柔性电路板的寿命收益也明显提升。In addition, since both ends of the flexible circuit board 05 located between the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 are fixed on the corresponding housing structure, the flexible circuit board 05 will not move left and right along the L direction. Offset, the shape consistency is significantly improved after multiple bending, and the life benefit of the flexible circuit board is also significantly improved.
在本申请给出的电子设备100中,还可以包括补强板。比如,在图5和图6中,包括第一补强板061和第二补强板062,第一补强板061固定在第一安装面M1上,第 一固定部Q1固定在第一补强板061上,即,第一固定部Q1通过第一补强板061固定在第一安装面M1上。类似的,第二补强板062固定在第二安装面M2上,第二固定部Q2固定在第二补强板062上。In the electronic device 100 presented in this application, a reinforcing plate may also be included. For example, in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , including a first reinforcing plate 061 and a second reinforcing plate 062, the first reinforcing plate 061 is fixed on the first installation surface M1, and the first fixing part Q1 is fixed on the first reinforcing plate. On the reinforcing plate 061 , that is, the first fixing portion Q1 is fixed on the first installation surface M1 through the first reinforcing plate 061 . Similarly, the second reinforcing plate 062 is fixed on the second installation surface M2, and the second fixing part Q2 is fixed on the second reinforcing plate 062.
由于在图5和图6所示的柔性电路板05中,折弯部Q3仅包括一个朝第二侧面B1凸出的凸出部,进而,当第一壳体011和第二壳体012相对转动时,通过第一补强板061和第二补强板062就可以约束折弯部Q3的折弯趋势,提升该柔性电路板05的形态刚度,增强折弯部Q3的抗变形能力,从而,使得当折弯部Q3多次折弯后依然可以维持初始形态,不发生变形。Since in the flexible circuit board 05 shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the bent portion Q3 only includes a protruding portion protruding toward the second side B1, furthermore, when the first housing 011 and the second housing 012 are facing each other When rotating, the bending tendency of the bending part Q3 can be constrained by the first reinforcing plate 061 and the second reinforcing plate 062, the morphological rigidity of the flexible circuit board 05 can be improved, and the deformation resistance of the bending part Q3 can be enhanced, thereby , so that the original shape can still be maintained after the bending part Q3 is bent several times without deformation.
再结合图9和图10b,图9和图10b所示的折弯部Q3包括了第一凸出部Q31和第二凸出部Q32,第一凸出部Q31和第二凸出部Q32之间通过连接部Q33相连接,且连接部Q33朝第一侧面A1方向凸出。那么,和上述图5和图6相比,除包括第一补强板061和第二补强板062之外,还包括第三补强板063,第三补强板063可以固定在转轴结构02上,连接部Q33固定在第三补强板063上,这里的第三补强板063与第一壳体011的第一侧面A1相平行。如此设计的话,通过第一补强板061和第三补强板063可以约束第一固定部Q1和连接部Q33之间的部分的弯折趋势,第二补强板062和第三补强板063可以约束第二固定部Q2和连接部Q33之间的部分的弯折趋势,最终通过三个补强板可以约束整个折弯部Q3的折弯走势,提升整个该柔性电路板05的形态刚度,增强折弯部Q3的抗变形能力。With reference to Fig. 9 and Fig. 10b, the bending part Q3 shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10b includes a first protruding part Q31 and a second protruding part Q32, between the first protruding part Q31 and the second protruding part Q32 They are connected by a connecting portion Q33, and the connecting portion Q33 protrudes toward the direction of the first side A1. Then, compared with the above-mentioned Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, in addition to including the first reinforcing plate 061 and the second reinforcing plate 062, it also includes a third reinforcing plate 063, and the third reinforcing plate 063 can be fixed on the shaft structure 02, the connecting portion Q33 is fixed on the third reinforcing plate 063, where the third reinforcing plate 063 is parallel to the first side A1 of the first casing 011. If so designed, the bending tendency of the part between the first fixing part Q1 and the connecting part Q33 can be constrained by the first reinforcing plate 061 and the third reinforcing plate 063, and the second reinforcing plate 062 and the third reinforcing plate 063 can constrain the bending tendency of the part between the second fixing part Q2 and the connecting part Q33, and finally the bending tendency of the entire bending part Q3 can be constrained by three reinforcing plates, improving the morphological rigidity of the entire flexible circuit board 05 , to enhance the deformation resistance of the bending portion Q3.
基于上述对柔性电路板05的折弯部Q3的不同形态的描述,可以这样认为,当折弯部Q3包含图9所示的两个凸出部,或者更多个凸出部时,可以将折弯部03的部分固定在转轴结构02上,以使得电子设备在展平或者闭合时,约束折弯部Q3的折弯走势,使得折弯部Q3的折弯趋势是可以被控制的。Based on the above description of the different forms of the bending portion Q3 of the flexible circuit board 05, it can be considered that when the bending portion Q3 includes two or more protrusions as shown in FIG. The part of the bending part 03 is fixed on the shaft structure 02, so that when the electronic device is flattened or closed, the bending tendency of the bending part Q3 is constrained, so that the bending tendency of the bending part Q3 can be controlled.
本申请涉及的补强板可以是钣材,比如,可以采用钢板;或者,可以采用玻璃纤维环氧树脂覆铜板,这种材料可以被称为FR-4材料;又或者,可以采用其他材料。本申请对补强板的可选择材料不做特殊限定。The reinforcing plate involved in this application can be a sheet material, for example, a steel plate can be used; or a glass fiber epoxy resin copper clad laminate can be used, and this material can be called FR-4 material; or other materials can be used. In this application, there is no special limitation on the optional materials of the reinforcing plate.
在一些可以选择的实现方式中,可以采用粘接胶层将柔性电路板固定在补强板上,比如,可以采用压敏胶(pressure sensitive adhesive,PSD)固定连接补强板和柔性电路板。由于压敏胶是一种具有对压力有敏感性的胶粘剂,这样的话,当柔性电路板在折弯时,可以使得柔性电路板具有增强长度自适应能力。In some optional implementation manners, the flexible circuit board may be fixed on the reinforcement board by using an adhesive layer, for example, pressure sensitive adhesive (PSD) may be used to fix the connection between the reinforcement board and the flexible circuit board. Since the pressure-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive sensitive to pressure, in this way, when the flexible circuit board is bent, the flexible circuit board can have enhanced length self-adaptive ability.
本申请实施例提供的电子设备100中,在第一中框011和第二中框012的对接处,会形成间隙(如图3中的R区域),进而,该间隙会成为液体(例如,水)进入电子设备100内的路径。图11中示出了从间隙R流入的水的传输路径,如图11的带有箭头的虚线所示,为了阻止流入的水进入第一壳体011的电子器件中,和进入第二壳体012的电子器件中,本申请给出的电子设备还可以包括防水结构11,防水结构11的设置位置具有多种可以实现的方式,下面针对防水结构11的设置位置、结构进行介绍。In the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, a gap (such as the R area in Figure 3) will be formed at the junction of the first middle frame 011 and the second middle frame 012, and then the gap will become liquid (for example, water) into the electronic device 100. Fig. 11 shows the transmission path of the water flowing in from the gap R, as shown by the dashed line with arrows in Fig. Among the electronic devices of 012, the electronic device provided in this application may also include a waterproof structure 11, and the installation position of the waterproof structure 11 can be implemented in various ways. The installation position and structure of the waterproof structure 11 will be introduced below.
图11给出的实现方式中,柔性电路板05包括与第一固定部Q1相连接,且远离折弯部Q3的第三固定部Q4,第三固定部Q4和第一壳体011之间的缝隙被防水结构11填充。这样的话,从间隙R流入的水在防水结构11的阻止作用下,不会进入第一中框011的电子器件内,进而也实现了对电子器件的保护。In the implementation shown in FIG. 11 , the flexible circuit board 05 includes a third fixing part Q4 that is connected to the first fixing part Q1 and is away from the bending part Q3. The gaps are filled by the waterproof structure 11 . In this way, the water flowing in from the gap R will not enter into the electronic device of the first middle frame 011 under the blocking effect of the waterproof structure 11 , thereby realizing the protection of the electronic device.
