The folding mechanism and the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, an embodiment of the present application discloses a circuit board assembly and an electronic device, where the circuit board assembly can be applied to the electronic device. The circuit board assembly includes afirst circuit board 100, a second circuit board, and at least one pad.
Thefirst circuit board 100 may be a conventional flat circuit board, and theelectronic component 500 may be soldered on the first circuit board; of course, thefirst circuit board 100 may also be a special-shaped circuit board, which is not limited herein.
As shown in fig. 1, the second circuit board includes a boardmain body 210 and askeletal frame plate 220, wherein the boardmain body 210 is a portion of the second circuit board for mounting theelectronic component 500, that is, theelectronic component 500 to be mounted on the second circuit board can be soldered to the boardmain body 210. In other words, the boardmain body 210 in the second circuit board may be identical in structure and function to thefirst circuit board 100 described above.
The boardmain body 210 and thefirst circuit board 100 are stacked and spaced apart in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100, so that the circuit board assembly can maximally utilize the space in the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the space for accommodating the circuit board assembly in the electronic device is increased. Also, thebone bay plate 220 is sandwiched between thefirst circuit board 100 and theplate body 210 to provide a structural foundation for the connection between thefirst circuit board 100 and theplate body 210.
Meanwhile, one end of the ribposition shelf plate 220 is connected with the platemain body 210, so that the platemain body 210 and the ribposition shelf plate 220 are connected into a whole; alternatively, theboard body 210 and thebone rack 220 may be integrally formed to improve the structural reliability of the second circuit board and the reliability of the electrical connection between theboard body 210 and thefirst circuit board 100.
And, the pad is disposed at an end of therib shelf 220 far away from the boardmain body 210, that is, the pad is disposed at an end of therib shelf 220 close to thefirst circuit board 100, and the pad can provide a bridging effect for the electrical connection between thefirst circuit board 100 and the second circuit board. The pads are electrically connected to thefirst circuit board 100, and specifically, the pads may be directly electrically connected to corresponding positions on thefirst circuit board 100 by welding or the like; in another embodiment of the present application, optionally, the bonding pad is electrically connected to thefirst circuit board 100 through the solder ball 400, which can improve the connection reliability between the bonding pad and thefirst circuit board 100 and reduce the connection difficulty between the bonding pad and thefirst circuit board 100.
In order to enable theboard body 210 to be electrically connected to the bonding pad through thebone rack board 220, as shown in fig. 1, at least one conductive connection hole set is provided on thebone rack board 220, and a conductive material is provided in each conductive connection hole set, the conductive material is provided in a manner including, but not limited to, filling, electroplating, or bonding, and the conductive material includes, but not limited to, a metal conductive material such as copper, tin, and the like; and the conductive connection hole groups and the pads are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that theboard body 210 can form an electrical connection relationship with the pads through the conductive connection hole groups under the action of the conductive material in the conductive connection hole groups. The conductive connecting hole group can be formed in a laser processing mode so as to reduce the processing difficulty of the conductive connecting hole group and improve the processing precision of the conductive connecting hole group.
The size of the conductive connection hole group in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 may be determined according to specific conditions such as a processing technology and actual requirements, and is not limited herein. The number of the conductive connection hole groups between the boardmain body 210 and the pads may be one or more, and the pads may be ensured to be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the conductive connection hole groups by making the number of the conductive connection hole groups between the boardmain body 210 and the pads correspond to the number of the pads. In the case that the number of the conductive connection hole groups is multiple, thebone rack 220 may have a multi-layer structure, and the ends of the conductive connection hole groups departing from the bonding pads are respectively connected to different positions of thebone rack 220. The conductive material may be copper, and copper may be injected into the conductive via set through a copper injection process, so that theboard body 210 and the pad are electrically connected. In addition, aconductive layer 250 may be embedded in theskeletal plate 220, so that the conductive material in the conductive via set can be electrically connected to theplate body 210 through theconductive layer 250.
Meanwhile, in order to further improve the overcurrent capability between thefirst circuit board 100 and the boardmain body 210 in the circuit board assembly, as shown in fig. 2, 4 and 6, the at least one conductive connection hole group may be made to include a plurality of conductivesingle holes 241. Specifically, as described above, the number of the conductive connection hole groups may be one or more, in this case, at least one of the conductive connection hole groups may be the first conductive connection hole group 240, and the first conductive connection hole group 240 includes a plurality of conductivesingle holes 241, and in a case where the sectional area of each conductivesingle hole 241 is kept unchanged, the amount of the conductive material that the first conductive connection hole group 240 can accommodate is relatively larger, so that the sectional area of the first conductive connection hole group 240 can be increased, and by connecting the pad to one end of each of the plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 in the corresponding first conductive connection hole group 240, an effect of increasing the overcurrent capacity of the first conductive connection hole group 240 can be achieved. Even if the size of the single conductive via 241 in the first conductive via group 240 is reduced compared to the cross-sectional area of the conventional conductive via, the cross-sectional area of the entire first conductive via group 240 may be increased when the first conductive via group 240 includes a plurality of singleconductive vias 241.
Certainly, in order to ensure that the connection reliability between the first conductive connection hole group 240 and the pad is relatively high, it is further required to make the projection of the pad corresponding to the first conductive connection hole group 240 in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 cover the first conductive connection hole group 240, so that the conductive material in each conductivesingle hole 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 can "fall" on the surface of the pad, so as to improve the adhesion capability between the pad and the first conductive connection hole group 240, and further improve the overall performance of the circuit board assembly.
Specifically, the arrangement manner of the plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 may be determined based on the size of the pad, so as to determine the specific relative positions of the plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 under the condition that the correspondence relationship between the pad and the plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 is satisfied. More specifically, the number of the conductivesingle holes 241 may be two, and two conductivesingle holes 241 may be arranged at an area with the largest size span on the pad, and a plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 may be arranged in a structure corresponding to the pad. For example, the bonding pad may be a circular structure, in which case the conductivesingle hole 241 may be arranged corresponding to a straight line on the bonding pad where any diameter is located.
The embodiment of the application discloses a circuit board assembly, it includesfirst circuit board 100, second circuit board and pad, and the boardmain part 210 and thefirst circuit board 100 of second circuit board are along the range upon range of setting of the thickness direction offirst circuit board 100, and the position ofbone frame 220 clamp of second circuit board is established betweenfirst circuit board 100 and boardmain part 210, and the one end and the boardmain part 210 of position ofbone frame 220 are connected, and the pad setting is kept away from the one end of boardmain part 210 at position ofbone frame 220. Furthermore, at least one conductive connection hole set is disposed on theskeleton frame plate 220, and the conductive connection hole sets and the pads are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, so that the pads are electrically connected to the boardmain body 210, and thefirst circuit board 100 and the boardmain body 210 form an electrical connection relationship.
Meanwhile, at least one of the conductive via groups is the first conductive via group 240 including a plurality of conductivesingle holes 241, which enables the overcurrent capability of the first conductive via group 240 to be improved; meanwhile, the projection of the pad corresponding to the first conductive connection hole group 240 in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 covers the first conductive connection hole group 240, so that the connection area between the first conductive connection hole group 240 and the pad is increased, the connection reliability between the first conductive connection hole group 240 and the pad is relatively high, the adhesion capability between the pad and thebone frame plate 220 is improved, and the overall performance of the circuit board assembly is relatively good.
Optionally, the number of the conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 is two, which may improve the over-current capability of the conductive material in the first conductive connection hole group 240 and the connection reliability between the conductive material in the first conductive connection hole group 240 and the pad without changing the structure of the existing pad.
On this basis, the two conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 may be a first conductive single hole and a second conductive single hole, respectively, and optionally, a projection of the first conductive single hole in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 is located outside the second conductive single hole. In other words, the first conductive via and the second conductive via are independent of each other. Under the condition of adopting the technical scheme, the positions of the two conductive single holes 241 (namely the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole) are determined, so that the conductive single holes can be formed in a laser processing mode, the processing difficulty of the first conductive connection hole group 240 is relatively low, and the cost cannot be obviously increased while the overcurrent capacity of the first conductive connection hole group 240 is improved.
In the above embodiment, the cross-sectional areas of the conductivesingle holes 241 at different positions are optionally the same, and the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole may be arranged in a tangential manner.
In another embodiment of the present application, optionally, the cross-sectional area of each conductivesingle hole 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 is different at different positions, and in detail, the cross-sectional area of each conductivesingle hole 241 may be gradually reduced along a direction in which afirst aperture 241a of the conductivesingle hole 241 points to asecond aperture 241b thereof, wherein thefirst aperture 241a is an aperture of the conductivesingle hole 241 towards the pad, and thesecond aperture 241b is an aperture of the conductivesingle hole 241 towards themechanical hole 230. Under the condition of adopting the technical scheme, the forming difficulty of the conductivesingle hole 241 can be reduced.
Based on the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, thefirst aperture 241a of the first conductive single hole and thefirst aperture 241a of the second conductive single hole may be arranged at an interval, so as to further reduce the processing difficulty of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole; in addition, the processing processes of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole can be prevented from being interfered with each other as much as possible, and the processing precision and reliability of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole are improved.
Specifically, the distance between thefirst aperture 241a of the first conductive single hole and thefirst aperture 241a of the second conductive single hole may be determined according to the actual conditions such as the size of the pad, and the size of the interval between thefirst apertures 241a of the first conductive single hole and thefirst aperture 241a of the second conductive single hole may be made as large as possible within a feasible range, so as to reduce the processing difficulty of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole to the maximum.
In addition, in the case that the cross-sectional areas at different positions on each conductivesingle hole 241 are different, the cross-sectional area at the second opening of each conductivesingle hole 241 facing themechanical hole 230 is the smallest, i.e. the cross-sectional area of the conductive material in the conductivesingle hole 241 represents the overcurrent capacity of the conductivesingle hole 241. In the case where the first conductive connection hole group 240 includes two conductivesingle holes 241 of the above-described structure, the overcurrent capacity of the first conductive connection hole group 240 is twice the sectional area of the second orifice of the conductivesingle hole 241.
In the case where the first conductive single hole group 240 includes two conductivesingle holes 241, and the sectional area of each conductivesingle hole 241 is gradually reduced along the direction in which thefirst hole 241a is directed to the second hole, the two conductivesingle holes 241 may also be a first conductive single hole and a second conductive single hole, respectively. On this basis, in order to further improve the overcurrent capacity of the first conductive via group 240, a communication cavity may be disposed at the second aperture of each of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole, so that the portion between the second apertures of each of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole may also be filled with a conductive material, thereby further improving the conductive capacity of the first conductive via group 240.
In detail, the first conductive connection hole group 240 further includes a communication cavity, and the communication cavity may be filled with a conductive material, similar to each conductivesingle hole 241. In the process of laying the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole, the arrangement positions of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole can be determined based on the sizes of the second orifices of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole, so that the second orifices of the first conductive single hole and the second orifices of the second conductive single hole are spaced from each other. Furthermore, the interval between the second apertures of the two conductivesingle holes 241 can be removed by laser drilling to form a communicating cavity, so that the communicating cavity is communicated between the second aperture of the first conductive single hole and the second aperture of the second conductive single hole, and thus, in the process of filling the conductive material, the second apertures of the two conductivesingle holes 241 are connected with the conductive material in the communicating cavity to form a whole, and the overcurrent capacity is provided together. Obviously, in the case that the first electrically conductive connection hole group 240 includes two electrically conductivesingle holes 241, the overcurrent capacity of the first electrically conductive connection hole group 240 may be further increased by adopting the above technical solution.
In the above embodiment, the first apertures of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole may also be spaced from each other, in which case, the communication cavity may further extend from the second aperture of the conductivesingle hole 241 to thefirst aperture 241a, and thefirst aperture 241a of the first conductive single hole and thefirst aperture 241a of the second conductive single hole are also communicated with each other through the communication cavity, so as to further ensure that the overcurrent capability of the conductive connection aperture set disclosed in this embodiment is significantly increased.
In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, a projection portion of the first conductive single via and the second conductive single via in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 may be made to coincide; alternatively, a part of a projection of thefirst aperture 241a of the first conductive single hole in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 may be located inside thefirst aperture 241a of the second conductive single hole.
Of course, in this embodiment, since the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole are partially overlapped in the thickness direction, the hole walls of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole have a portion connected to each other, and the communication cavity is communicated with the second openings of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole, on the basis, in order to prevent the formation material of thebone frame plate 220 from being still sandwiched between the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole, the communication cavity may extend from the position where the second opening of the first conductive single hole is located to the connection position of the hole walls of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole. That is, in the conductive connection hole group disclosed in this embodiment, the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole are respectively directly connected along one portion of the hole walls in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100, and the other portions are indirectly connected through the cavity walls of the communication cavity, so that the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole are integrally connected together.
Under the condition of adopting the technical scheme, the processing difficulty of the first conductive single hole and the second conductive single hole can be reduced to a certain extent, and the processing difficulty of the communicating cavity is relatively low. Of course, in the case that thefirst apertures 241a of the two singleconductive holes 241 overlap each other, it is necessary to ensure that the second apertures of the two singleconductive holes 241 are still spaced apart from each other, so as to ensure that the overcurrent capacity of the first conductive connection hole set 240 is relatively large.
In another embodiment of the present application, the first conductive via group 240 may include at least threeconductive vias 241, in which case, the utilization rate of the bonding area on the pad may be further improved, so that the overcurrent capability of the conductive material in the first conductive via group 240 may be further increased, and the adhesion reliability between the conductive material in the first conductive via group 240 and the pad may be improved. Of course, in the process of laying out at least three conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240, it is necessary to ensure that any two conductivesingle holes 241 cannot be completely overlapped.
As described above, the number of the pads may be one or more, in which case, at least one of the pads may be thefirst pad 300, thefirst pad 300 is disposed corresponding to the first conductive connection hole group 240, and accordingly, the number of the first conductive connection hole group 240 is the same as the number of thefirst pad 300, and corresponds to one.
Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the circuit board assembly disclosed in the embodiments of the present application may further include a pad external-connection portion 600, and the outer edge of thefirst pad 300 is externally connected with the pad external-connection portion 600, so that thefirst pad 300 and the pad external-connection portion 600 are combined to form a "new pad" with a larger size, and the butt-joint area on the "new pad" is relatively larger, so that the circuit board assembly may be matched with a larger number of conductivesingle holes 241.
Accordingly, when the first conductive connection hole set 240 includes at least three conductivesingle holes 241, the projections of the conductivesingle holes 241 of the first conductive connection hole set 240 in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 may not overlap each other. Furthermore, the difficulty of processing at least three conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 is relatively small.
In addition, as described above, the size of the pad can be made as small as possible by connecting the pad and the boardmain body 210 by combining themechanical hole 230 and the set of conductive connection holes through thebone rack board 220, and in the above embodiment, since the outer edge of thefirst pad 300 is externally connected with the padexternal portion 600, the butt joint area on the "new pad" is relatively large, for this reason, in this embodiment, the insulating layer can be covered on the side of the padexternal portion 600 away from thefirst circuit board 100 to cover the padexternal portion 600 through the insulating layer, so that the padexternal portion 600 can provide a larger bearing area for the set of conductive connection holes, and at the same time, the exposed portion, i.e., the portion capable of conducting electricity, remains unchanged, and the portion capable of electrically connecting the surface of the pad is still relatively small.
Specifically, in the processing process, thefirst pad 300 and the padexternal connection portion 600 on the outer edge thereof may be integrally formed, so that the forming difficulty of thefirst pad 300 and the padexternal connection portion 600 is reduced, the connection reliability between thefirst pad 300 and the padexternal connection portion 600 is relatively higher, and the bearing capacity of a new pad is improved. In addition, the insulating layer may be solder resist ink, so as to ensure that the conductive material in the plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 can form a reliable insulating relationship with the padexternal connection 600 through the insulating layer.
In the case that the number of the conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 is at least three, and the outer edge of thefirst pad 300 is externally connected with the padexternal connection part 600, further, any two conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 may be spaced from each other toward the hole opening of thefirst pad 300, that is, the projections of any two conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240 in the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100 are spaced from each other, which may further reduce the difficulty in forming each conductivesingle hole 241 in the first conductive connection hole group 240, and may prevent the processing processes of any two conductivesingle holes 241 from interfering with each other.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7, the first conductive connection hole group 240 may include three conductivesingle holes 241, in which case, the distances between any two adjacent conductivesingle holes 241 may also be equal, or in which a connection line of the centers of the first apertures 241a (or the second apertures) of the three conductivesingle holes 241 may form an equilateral triangle, in which case, the size of the area occupied by the whole first conductive connection hole group 240 can be reduced as much as possible, and thus the size of the pad external-connection portion 600 that needs to be added can be reduced; meanwhile, the sectional area of the conductive material filled in the first conductive connection hole group 240 can be maximized, the overcurrent capability of the conductive material in the first conductive connection hole group 240 can be improved, and the connection reliability between the conductive material in the first conductive connection hole group 240 and thefirst pad 300 can be improved.
In addition, based on the circuit board assemblies disclosed in the above embodiments, in the process of forming the ribposition frame plate 220 in the second circuit board, the respective advantages of the conductive connection hole groups disclosed in different embodiments can be utilized, and the conductive connection hole groups with different structures are respectively formed at different positions of the ribposition frame plate 220, so that the whole ribposition frame plate 220 has various advantages of superior performance, lower processing difficulty and the like, and the market competitiveness of the circuit board assembly is maximally improved.
As described above, the conductive connection hole group may be processed by laser processing, that is, the conductive connection hole group is a laser hole group, in this case, limited by factors such as a maximum cross-sectional area of the conductive connection hole group, the depth of the conductive connection hole group needs to be within a preset range, and if the size of the space between the conductive connection hole group and thefirst circuit board 100 is relatively large in the process of connecting theboard body 210 and thefirst circuit board 100, optionally, amechanical hole 230 is further disposed on theframework 220, that is, a via hole formed by mechanical processing is used, themechanical hole 230 communicates with the conductive connection hole group, and themechanical hole 230 can be filled with a conductive material, so that theboard body 210 can be electrically connected to the pad through the conductive connection hole group and themechanical hole 230.
Further, along the thickness direction of thefirst circuit board 100, at least one first conductive connection hole set 240 may be disposed at both ends of themechanical hole 230 opposite to each other, that is, at least one conductive connection hole set is disposed at both ends of themechanical hole 230 opposite to each other, and at least one first conductive connection hole set 240 is correspondingly included in at least one conductive connection hole set at both ends of themechanical hole 230 opposite to each other, and each first conductive connection hole set includes a plurality of conductivesingle holes 241. One end of each of the plurality of conductivesingle holes 241 in the first conductive connection hole group on the side of themechanical hole 230 away from the pad is connected to theboard body 210, so as to improve the reliability and overcurrent capacity of the mechanical connection between thebone rack plate 220 and theboard body 210.
Based on any of the above embodiments, the present application further discloses an electronic device, where the electronic device includes the circuit board assembly disclosed in any of the above embodiments, and of course, the electronic device may further include other devices such as a chip and a battery, and the details are not described here in detail in view of brevity of text.
