DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0084] To better understand the technical solutions of this application, the following describes embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0085] In an example embodiment, the following further describes this application in detail by using example embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0086] With miniaturization and diversification of functions of terminal products, an increasingly large quantity of parts is mounted on a circuit board, and therefore the circuit board has an increasingly large capacity and increasingly high component density. Usually, to ensure service performance of the circuit board and reduce the density of the circuit board, multiple circuit boards may be electrically connected to form a circuit board assembly. Specifically, as shown in
[0087] Connection between the first contact 211a′ and the first connecting portion 311′ is used as an example. A distance between the first contact 211a′ and a tail end of the first connecting portion 311′ is A1, a distance between the first contact 211a′ and a tail end of the second circuit board 3′ is A2, a distance between the tail end of the first connecting portion 311′ and the tail end of the second circuit board 3′ is A3, and A2=A1+A3. A larger value of A3 indicates a smaller value of A1. When A1 (the distance between the first contact 211a′ and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311′) is an excessively small value, the first contact 211a′ is in contact with the first connecting portion 311′ in an excessively small range, and consequently there is unstable electrical connection between the second circuit board 3′ and the connector 2′, and normal use of the circuit board assembly is affected, which degrades user experience.
[0088] To resolve this technical problem, the distance A1 between the first contact 211a′ and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311′ needs to be increased, and this may be specifically implemented by decreasing the distance A3 between the tail end of the first connecting portion 311′ and the tail end of the second circuit board.
[0089] Specifically, the embodiments provide a circuit board assembly. As shown in
[0090] As shown in
[0091] In this embodiment, the top surface 31 intersects and is perpendicular to the side surface 32, so that an area of the top surface 31 is increased, to increase an area in which the first connecting portion 311 can be mounted, and facilitate mounting of the first connecting portion 311. In addition, the first connecting portion 311 extends towards the side surface 32, so that a size of the first connecting portion 311 is increased, and the distance a4 between the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 and the tail end of the second circuit board 3 is decreased, to increase the distance a1 between the first contact 211a and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311, in other words, to increase a range in which the connector 2 is electrically connected to the first connecting portion 311, and reduce a risk that the connector 2 is not in contact with the first connecting portion 311 due to the fact that a position of the second circuit board 3 deviates in a mounting or transportation process, so as to improve stability of connection between the connector 2 and the first connecting portion 311, and improve working stability of the second circuit board 3. In this way, working performance of the circuit board assembly is improved, and user experience is improved.
[0092] Specifically, as shown in
[0093] In this embodiment, the slot 21 is disposed in the connector 2, and the slot 21 can restrict the second circuit board 3 to moving in a height direction of the connector 2, to implement connection between the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2. The first contact 211a is disposed on the first sidewall 211 of the slot 21, so that the second circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the connector 2 while the slot 21 limits a position of the second circuit board 3, to simplify a structure of the connector 2 and reduce manufacturing costs of the connector 2. There is the distance a1 between the first contact 211a and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311, so that a range in which the first contact 211a is connected to the first connecting portion 311 can be increased, and a case in which the first circuit board 1 fails to be connected to the second circuit board 3 because during mounting of the second circuit board 3 into the slot 21 and in a working process of the circuit board assembly, the first contact 211a cannot be connected to the first connecting portion 311 due to impact of a processing error and an assembly error can be avoided, to improve reliability of connection between the first contact 211a and the first connecting portion 311, and improve service performance of the second circuit board 3, so as to improve service performance and working stability of the circuit board assembly.
[0094] For example, as shown in
[0095] In this embodiment, it is set that the distance a1 between the first contact 211a and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 is greater than 0.51 mm, so that the first contact 211a is connected to the first connecting portion 311 in a relatively large range, to improve stability of the electrical connection between the first contact 211a and the first connecting portion 311, and improve working stability of the second circuit board 3. In addition, the distance a1 between the first contact 211a and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 is greater than 0.51 mm, and therefore when a processing error and an assembly error of the connector 2 and the second circuit board 3 are not considered, the reliability of the connection between the first contact 211a and the first connecting portion 311 is improved, and accordingly a requirement on precision of a processing size of a part such as the connector 2 and the second circuit board 3 is lowered, and processing difficulty is reduced, to reduce manufacturing costs.
[0096] Because a3=a1+a4, to increase a1, a4 needs to be decreased as much as possible, in other words, the distance between the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 and the tail end of the second circuit board 3 needs to be decreased as much as possible.
[0097] When a1=0.51 mm, the first contact 211a is more stably connected to the first connecting portion 311.
[0098] Specifically, as shown in
[0099] In this embodiment, a3=a1+a4, and a4≤0.2 mm, and therefore a distance a1 between a first contact 211a and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 can be increased, to improve reliability of connection between the first contact 211a and the first connecting portion 311, and reduce a risk that the first contact 211a cannot be connected to the first connecting portion 311 in a mounting or transportation process, so as to improve service performance of the second circuit board 3. In this way, service performance and working stability of the circuit board assembly are improved.
[0100] For example, as shown in
[0101] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 311 is flush with the side surface 32, in other words, a distance between the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 and a tail end of the second circuit board 3 is a4=0. When a3 is a fixed value, a1 has a largest value in this case, in other words, a first contact 211a is connected to the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 in a largest range, and therefore stability of connection between the connector 2 and the first connecting portion 311 is further improved, and an offset of the second circuit board 3 is increased. In this way, processing precision of a part such as the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2 is reduced, and manufacturing costs are reduced, to further improve user experience.
[0102] Specifically, as shown in
[0103] In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 331 is disposed on the bottom surface 33 of the second circuit board 3, and the second connecting portion 331 is electrically connected to a second contact 212a on a second sidewall 212 of the slot 21, so that the bottom surface 33 of the second circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the connector 2, to facilitate mounting of another electronic element on the bottom surface 33 of the second circuit board 3, so as to improve working performance and service efficiency of the second circuit board 3, and improve user experience. In addition, in a processing of mounting the second circuit board 3, the first inclined surface 34 can play a guiding role, so that a risk that the second circuit board 3 or the connector 2 is damaged due to interference between the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2 is reduced, to improve strength of the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2, and prolong a service life of each of the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2, so as to improve service performance of the circuit board assembly and improve user experience.
[0104] For example, as shown in
[0105] In this embodiment, a part of the second circuit board 3 can be obliquely inserted into the slot 21 from top to bottom. Therefore, when the second contact 212a is located outside the first contact 211a, the first connecting portion 311 can be electrically connected to the first contact 211a, and the second connecting portion 331 can be electrically connected to the second contact 212a. In addition, when the second contact 212a is located outside the first contact 211a, the distance a1 between the first contact 211a and the tail end of the first connecting portion 311 is less than the distance a2 between the second contact 212a and the tail end of the second connecting portion 331, in other words, the second contact 212a is connected to the second connecting portion 331 in a larger range. When the range in which the first contact 211a is connected to the first connecting portion 311 makes it difficult to disconnect the first contact 211a and the first connecting portion 311, it is more difficult to disconnect the second contact 212a and the second connecting portion 331. In this way, stability of connection between the second contact 212a and the second connecting portion 331 can be improved, to improve working stability and service performance of the second circuit board 3.
[0106] Specifically, as shown in
[0107] In this embodiment, a part of the second circuit board 3 is obliquely inserted into the slot 21 from top to bottom, and therefore it is set that the distance a4 between the first connecting portion 311 and the side surface 32 is less than the distance a5 between the second connecting portion 331 and the side surface 32, so that the first connecting portion 311 can be electrically connected to the first contact 211a, and the second connecting portion 331 can be electrically connected to the second contact 212a, to improve reliability of connection between the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2. In addition, the distance a4 between the first connecting portion 311 and the side surface 32 is less than the distance a5 between the second connecting portion 331 and the side surface 32, so that a size of the second connecting portion 331 is less than a size of the first connecting portion 311 while the reliability of the connection between the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2 is improved, to reduce processing costs of the second connecting portion 331 and improve user experience.
[0108] In another embodiment, as shown in
[0109] In this embodiment, the bottom surface 33 intersects and is perpendicular to the side surface 32, so that an area of the bottom surface 33 is increased, to increase an area in which the second connecting portion 331 can be mounted, and facilitate mounting of the second connecting portion 331. In addition, the second connecting portion 331 extends towards the side surface 32, so that a size of the second connecting portion 331 is increased, and a distance a5 between a tail end of the second connecting portion 331 and the tail end of the second circuit board 3 is decreased, to increase a distance a2 between a second contact 212a and the tail end of the second connecting portion 331, in other words, to increase a range in which the connector 2 is electrically connected to the second connecting portion 331, and reduce a risk that the connector 2 is not in contact with the second connecting portion 331 due to the fact that a position of the second circuit board 3 deviates in a mounting or transportation process, so as to improve stability of connection between the connector 2 and the second connecting portion 331, and improve working stability of the second circuit board 3. In this way, working performance of the circuit board assembly is improved, and user experience is improved.
[0110] Specifically, as shown in
[0111] In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 331 is flush with the side surface 32, in other words, the distance between the tail end of the second connecting portion 331 and the tail end of the second circuit board 3 is a5=0, so that the tail end of the second connecting portion 331 is connected to the second contact 212a in a largest range, to further improve the stability of the connection between the connector 2 and the second connecting portion 331, and increase an offset of the second circuit board 3. In this way, processing precision of a part such as the second circuit board 3 and the connector 2 is reduced, and therefore manufacturing costs are reduced, to further improve user experience.
[0112] For example, as shown in
[0113] Specifically, as shown in
[0114] In this embodiment, as shown in
[0115] Specifically, as shown in
[0116] In this embodiment, the second inclined surface 214 and the third inclined surface 215 play a guiding role, to facilitate insertion of the second circuit board 3 into the slot 21, simplify an operation of mounting the second circuit board 3, and improve the accuracy of mounting the second circuit board 3. In addition, the second inclined surface 214 and the third inclined surface 215 are disposed, so that there can be a lower probability that a problem such as a problem that the second circuit board 3 is scratched due to a sharp corner in the slot 21 in the mounting process occurs, to prolong a service life of the second circuit board 3.
[0117] In any one of the foregoing embodiments, as shown in
[0118] In this embodiment, one end of the second circuit board 3 is connected to the connector 2, and the other end is connected to the stud 4, and the connector 2 and the stud 4 are used to restrict the second circuit board 3 to moving in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction, to improve stability of mounting the second circuit board 3. In addition, because of a small size of the stud 4, space required for mounting the second circuit board 3 on the first circuit board 1 can be reduced, and therefore space of the first circuit board 1 is saved. In this way, utilization of the first circuit board 1 is improved, and therefore working performance of the first circuit board 1 is improved, and user experience is improved. As shown in
[0119] As shown in
[0120] Specifically, the stud 4 is attached to the first circuit board 1.
[0121] In this embodiment, the stud 4 is attached to the first circuit board 1, so that a manner of connecting the stud 4 and the first circuit board 1 can be simplified, and space required for mounting the stud 4 is reduced while stability of mounting the stud 4 is ensured, to further improve the utilization of the first circuit board 1 and improve the working performance of the first circuit board 1. In addition, the stud 4 is attached to the first circuit board 1, so that an operation in a process of mounting the stud 4 can be simplified, and a process required for mounting the stud 4 can be reduced, to reduce manufacturing costs of the circuit board assembly.
[0122] There is mounting precision of 0.01 when the stud 4 is attached to the first circuit board 1. If the mounting precision of the stud 4 is less than 0.01, difficulty of mounting the stud 4 is increased. If the mounting precision of the stud 4 is greater than 0.01, a risk that a position of the stud 4 deviates during mounting is increased. Therefore, when there is the mounting precision of 0.01 when the stud 4 is attached to the first circuit board 1, the difficulty of mounting the stud 4 can be decreased, and accuracy of mounting the stud 4 can be improved.
[0123] “Perpendicular” in the embodiments of this application includes a strict “perpendicular” case, that is, there is an angle of 90 degrees between two perpendicular planes, and further includes a basic “perpendicular” case, namely, another angle at which a corresponding effect can be achieved in engineering.
