DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(4) To make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and a specific embodiment.

(5) With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the exemplary embodiment in the present disclosure provides an FPCB plug-in jig 1, including a fixture part for clamping an FPCB, wherein the fixture part includes a first clamping element 10 and a second clamping element 20 which are arranged oppositely. The first clamping element 10 and the second clamping element 20 are configured such that an opening 12 is formed at one end of the fixture part and a pressing portion 11 is formed at the other end of the fixture part. As shown in FIG. 1, the end with the opening 12 is positioned on the right side of the FPCB plug-in jig 1 in the figure, while the other end with the pressing portion 11 is positioned on the left side of the FPCB plug-in jig 1 in the figure, but such a configuration mode is not limiting. A signal matching board 40 is arranged on a surface of the first clamping element 10 facing the second clamping element 20, and the specific structure thereof is shown in FIG. 2. The signal matching board 40 is electrically connected, at one end close to the opening 12 of the fixture part, with the FPCB plugged into the FPCB plug-in jig 1. Moreover, an additional signal port 42 is provided at another end of the signal matching board 40 close to the pressing portion 11 of the fixture part.

(6) The structure of the fixture part of the FPCB plug-in jig 1 in this embodiment is equivalent to a clamp, so the end with the opening 12 of the fixture part can be opened by pressing the pressing portion 11 of the fixture part. At the moment, as shown in FIG. 1, the FPCB 2 is plugged into the opened opening 12 to electrically connect to the signal matching board 40. The additional signal port 42 is formed at the other end of the signal matching board 40 close to the pressing portion 11, so that external signals can be introduced into the FPCB 2 through the additional signal port 42, in order to provide corresponding signals to the display module. The FPCB plug-in jig 1 in this embodiment is simple in structure, easy to operate, safe and reliable, and can greatly reduce the loss of wires.

(7) Preferably, a probe 41 is arranged on the signal matching board 40 at a position where the signal matching board 40 electrically connecting to the FPCB 2. The probe 41 ensures that the FPCB 2 can be well electrically connected to the signal matching board 40, so as to improve the reliability of the FPCB plug-in jig 1.

(8) Preferably, a slot 22 for accommodating the FPCB 2 is formed in an end of the second clamping element 20 close to the opening 12 of the fixture part. The end of the slot 22 deep into the second clamping element 20 from the opening 12 is equivalent to a retaining wall, which plays a role of fixing the plug-in position of the FPCB 2 and avoids the situation that the FPCB 2 cannot be well electrically connected to the signal matching board 40 due to the inaccurate plug-in position.

(9) Preferably, in the example shown in the figures, when the pressing portion 11 of the fixture part is subjected to a downward external pressing force, an end of the first clamping element 10 close to the opening 12 of the fixture part moves along an opposite direction of the force, while the second clamping element 20 is immobilized.

(10) That is to say, the fixture part in this embodiment has a structure that is movable on one side and fixed on the other side, so that the clamped FPCB 2 is more stable.

(11) Preferably, the pressing portion 11 of the fixture part is provided with friction stripes, thus avoiding pressing difficulty and even failure resulting from the fact that an external force applying body slips from the pressing portion 11 due to excessive smoothness of the pressing portion 11 when the external force applying body applies an external force to the pressing portion 11.

(12) Preferably, a protective board 30 is arranged on a side of the signal matching board 40 facing the second clamping element 20, and the protective board 30 and the first clamping element 10 are fixed to each other for protecting the signal matching board 40.

(13) Preferably, the additional signal port 42 of the signal matching board 40 is a detachable port, so that different additional signal ports 42 for different additional signals can be assembled on the signal matching board 40 to match different additional signals. That is to say, the FPCB plug-in jig 1 of this embodiment is applicable to FPCBs of different types, so that the FPCB plug-in jig 1 of this embodiment has a wider application range.

(14) It could be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments adopted for describing the principle of the present invention, however the present invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements may be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
