如下具体实施方式将结合上述附图进一步说明本发明。
具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做 出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
需要说明的是,当组件被称为“固定于”另一个组件,它可以直接在另一个组件上或者也可以存在居中的组件。当一个组件被认为是“连接”另一个组件,它可以是直接连接到另一个组件或者可能同时存在居中组件。当一个组件被认为是“设置于”另一个组件,它可以是直接设置在另一个组件上或者可能同时存在居中组件。本文所使用的术语“垂直的”、“水平的”、“左”、“右”以及类似的表述只是为了说明的目的。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本发明的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本发明的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本发明。本文所使用的术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的任意的和所有的组合。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式做详细的说明。其中,本发明实施例结合示意图进行详细描述,在详述本发明实施例时,为便于说明,表示器件结构的剖面图会不依一般比例作局部放大,而且所述示意图只是示例,其在此不应限制本发明保护的范围。
柔性电路板又称“FPC柔性板”,是用柔性的绝缘基材制成的印刷电路,主要应用于电子产品的连接部位,比如手机排线,液晶模组、激光雷达的光电模块等。通常柔性电路板包括以聚酰亚胺或聚酯薄膜等材料制成的软性基材,通过聚乙烯或环氧树脂等透明胶设置在所述软性基材上的铜箔层,在所述铜箔层上进行蚀刻形成电路,电路包括焊盘及引线。铜箔层上还覆盖有保护层以进一步提升柔性电路板的刚性。由于柔性电路板基材为软板,故具有挠性。柔性电路板通常通过焊接与电子装置的电子模块相连接以实现电连接电子装置的两个电子模块。若两个电子模块在电子装置的运行过程中需要相对移动,则连接两个电子模块的柔性电路板会受到相对移动带来的扭曲力。为避免柔性电路板因扭曲力受到损坏,通常是通过增加柔性电路板上导线分布的冗余或者增大导线线宽以减小柔性电路板,然而,若柔性电路板受到的扭曲力为其宽度方向的(即侧向的),柔性电路板与电子装置的电子模块的连接部位首先会受到扭曲力,柔性电路板上的线材也会受到同方向的扭曲 力,为了避免这种扭曲力对所述柔性电路板造成的不良影响,本揭露的柔性电路板在其上开设凹槽,当柔性电路板受到扭曲力时,能够在所述凹槽处发生形变从而减弱或消除扭曲力造成的不良影响。
请参阅图1及图2所示,为本发明一实施例的柔性电路板1的结构示意图。所述柔性电路板1包括连接部10和固定部11,所述固定部11包括相对设置的第一端12和第二端14,所述第一端12和所述第二端14分别位于所述基材13的延伸方向(第一方向)上。所述第一端12和所述第二端14分别电连接两电子模块。在一些实施例中,所述固定部11用于连接电子模块,且通过焊接等方式与电子模块连接。所述连接部10为设置在所述电子模块之间的柔性电路板部分,用于连接所述第一端12和所述第二端14。
所述柔性电路板1的连接部10和固定部11均包括基材13和保护膜15。所述基材13大致呈长方形,沿第一方向(长方形的长度方向)延伸。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,所述基材13的形状可以为其他任意适宜的形状,例如T形,L形/门形等弯折形等。所述基材13包括第一表面131和与所述第一表面131相背的第二表面132。所述保护膜15覆盖于所述第一表面131和所述第二表面132。在实际应用中,所述基材13的形状可根据连接需要设置成特定形状。为便于描述,下述实施例中,以长方形的基材13为例进行说明。
所述连接部10上开设有贯穿所述第一表面131和所述第二表面132的凹槽16,所述凹槽16大致呈长方形,其延伸方向与所述第一方向大致平行。所述凹槽16的数量可以为多个,多个凹槽16之间相互平行。所述固定部11不设置所述凹槽16。
所述凹槽16的数量为多个时,所述基材13被所述凹槽16划分为多条支路100,所述柔性电路板1的线材通过其中的一条或多条支路100走线。即,所述柔性电路板1的线材可在所有支路100中均走线,也可仅在其中的一条或部分支路100中走线。
在一些实施例中,所述柔性电路板1的线材通过最靠近所述柔性电路板侧边的支路走线。例如,最靠近所述柔性电路板1左侧及/或右侧的支路走线。此种走线方式可进一步提升线材的抗扭曲能力及抗电磁干扰能力。
在一些实施例中,所述柔性电路板1的线材在所述多条支路中间隔走线。 即每相邻的两条支路中只有一条支路走线。间隔走线可提高线材之间的抗电磁干扰能力。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,所述凹槽16的数量也可以为一个。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,所述凹槽16的形状也可以是其他形状,例如S形等曲线形。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,所述凹槽16还可以包括沿第二方向延伸的第一凹槽和沿第三方向延伸的第二凹槽,所述第二方向与所述第三方向不平行。
可以理解的是,在一些实施例中,所述第一凹槽和所述第二凹槽可相交,多个所述第一凹槽和所述第二凹槽可以相交呈网状。所述第二方向与所述第三方向之间的夹角可为10度到90度之间,例如10度、15度、20度、25度、30度、35度、40度、45度、50度、55度、60度、65度、70度、75度、80度、85度、90度等。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,所述第一凹槽和所述第二凹槽也可以不相交,例如,第一凹槽为平行于所述第一方向设置的凹槽,设置在所述第一端12和所述第二端14之间;第二凹槽为垂直于所述第一方向的横向凹槽,靠近所述第一端12或所述第二端14设置。
可以理解的是,所述凹槽16的数量为多个时,也可以沿所述基材13的第一方向间隔设置。此时,所述第一凹槽和所述第二凹槽可以间隔交叉设置。
可以理解的是,为进一步增加所述柔性电路板1的柔性及抗扭性,还可以在所述凹槽16中填充柔性材料,所述柔性材料可为硅胶或柔性塑胶或弹性金属材料等。
可以理解的是,过窄的凹槽所能提供的变形空间有限,过宽的凹槽会减弱柔性电路板的刚性,因此,所述凹槽16的宽度优选地可设置为0.3-5毫米,例如0.5毫米、0.6毫米、0.7毫米、0.8毫米、0.9毫米、1毫米、2毫米、3毫米、4毫米等。可以理解的是,所述凹槽的宽度也可根据实际需要进行适应性调整。所述凹槽16的数量为多个时,相邻凹槽之间的间距优选地大于等于所述凹槽的宽度。
可以理解的是,所述柔性电路板1的基材13上还可设置保护膜,所述保护膜可不开设凹槽。可以理解的是,在一些实施例中,所述保护膜也可在 对应所述凹槽16处开设凹槽。
所述柔性电路板1可应用于各种电子装置,例如手机、平板、笔记本、桌面计算机、激光雷达、激光测距仪等,由于所述柔性电路板1设置有所述凹槽16,其侧向抗扭性大大提升,若在电子装置运作过程中,通过所述柔性电路板1相互连接的两电子模块相互移动,能大大增强所述柔性电路板1的侧向抗扭能力。
请参阅图3所示,为一种例示的电子装置2的部分模块示意图。所述电子装置2包括第一电子模块20及第二电子模块22,及连接所述第一电子模块20和所述第二电子模块22的柔性电路板24。所述柔性电路板24可采用图1的实施例中的柔性电路板1的结构,包括第一端240、第二端242,及开设在所述第一端240和所述第二端242之间的凹槽244。可以理解的是,上述对柔性电路板1的具体描述,包括对其第一端12、第二端14及凹槽16的所有描述均适用于柔性电路板24及其第一端240、第二端242及凹槽244,在此不再赘述。
所述第一电子模块20可相对所述第二电子模块22在三维方向上移动,例如图中所示的X、Y、Z三个方向上的移动。当所述第一电子模块20相对所述第二电子模块22向Y轴移动时,所述柔性电路板24将受到侧向的扭曲力(如图4所示),此时,若采用普通的柔性电路板,则该侧向的扭曲力可能会损坏所述柔性电路板24与所述第一电子模块20或所述第二电子模块22的固定部(即所述第一端240和所述第二端242),或损坏所述柔性电路板24内的线材。由于本揭露中的柔性电路板24上设置有所述凹槽244,所述柔性电路板24受到侧向的扭曲力时,所述柔性电路板24可在所述凹槽244处产生形变,减弱作用在所述连接部分或所述柔性电路板24内的线材部分的扭曲作用力,从而提升所述柔性电路板24的抗扭能力。
在一实施例中,所述电子装置2为激光雷达或测距仪,所述第一电子模块可为光接收模块,第二模块可为光发射模块或透镜,所述光接收模块在工作过程中需要不断调整位置以保证光电器件感光面在透镜的焦点附近并与激光发射位置对应,以获得最好的光信号接收效果,当所述光接收模块相对所述第二模块在X、Y方向上移动时,所述柔性电路板24可以弯折来支持所述光接收模块在X、Y方向上的移动,而在Z方向上的移动,则通过所述 柔性电路板24上设置的凹槽来实现对抗侧向的扭曲。
在一些实施例中,所述柔性电路板由多个小柔性电路板相互连接而成,每一小柔性电路板均大致呈条状,或根据布局需要弯折成特定形状。此时,可以在每一小柔性电路板的弯折处设置至少一凹槽,以提升弯折处的抗弯折性,同时在多个小柔性电路板中的至少一柔性电路板上开设上所述的凹槽。
可以理解的是,上所述的凹槽为贯穿所述柔性电路板上下表面的凹槽,在其他实施例中,所述凹槽也可以设置成不贯穿所述柔性电路板的凹槽,即所述凹槽开设在所述柔性电路板上任一表面上。
另外,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,可以根据本发明的技术构思做出其它各种相应的改变与变形,而所有这些改变与变形都应属于本发明权利要求的保护范围。
