In some embodiments, the first flexible circuit board is connected to a side portion of the first board close to the battery protection board, and the second flexible circuit board is connected to a side portion of the second board close to the battery protection board.

In the related art, during some electronic devices being charged, a current may arrive a second board first from a power interface, then be transported from the second board to a first board through a flexible circuit board, and further be transported from the first board to a battery through another flexible circuit board, and accordingly a charging path is relatively long. In response to the electronic devices are quickly charged in a current increasing manner, due to a current flowing path being relatively long and a current flow being relatively large, a current loss may be easy to be caused, such that a heat during the electronic devices being charged may be increased and a charging efficiency may be reduced. Furthermore, the electronic devices may be burnt, even safety accidents may be caused, such as the electronic devices on fire, the batteries explosions, and so on. Therefore, an electronic device100is provided in the present disclosure and has a short charging path and low heat as charging, and high safety and so on.

An electronic device100according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in the following, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown inFIG. 1, the electronic device100according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a housing1, a battery2and a circuit board assembly3. A power interface10is defined on the housing1, the battery2is arranged in the housing1and includes a battery protection board21and a cell22. The circuit board assembly3is arranged in the housing1, electrically connected to the power interface10. In this way, the battery may be get charged in response to the power interface10being connected to a power outlet through a power cord and a power plug.

InFIG. 1, the circuit board assembly3may include a first board31, a second board32, a first flexible circuit board33and a second flexible circuit board34. The first board31and the second board32are arranged at intervals along a first direction (direction F1as shown inFIG. 1), and the battery protection board21and the cell22are arranged in sequence along a second direction (direction F2as shown inFIG. 1) substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first flexible circuit board33is connected to the battery protection board21and the first board31, and the second flexible circuit board34is connected to the battery protection board21and the second board32.

That is, the battery2is sandwiched between the first board31and the second board32, and the battery protection board21is located at a side of the cell22, which is not the case that the battery protection board21is located at a side of the cell22close to the first board31, or located at a side of the cell22close to the second board32. In this way, a length of the first flexible circuit board33connecting the first board31and the battery protection board21may be configured to be shorter, and a length of the second flexible circuit board34connecting the second board32and the battery protection board21may also be configured to be shorter.

In this way, through the battery protection board21being located at the side of the cell22, the first flexible circuit board33being connected to the battery protection board21and the first board31, and the second flexible circuit board34being connected to the battery protection board21and the second board32, a current transmission path between the battery2and the first board31and a current transmission path between the battery2and the second board32may be effectively reduced. In this way, whether the first board31and the first flexible circuit board33are used to charge the battery2, or the second board32and the second flexible circuit board34are used to charge the battery2, a charging path may be reduced. Heat generated as charging, charging efficiency and charging safety may be improved. In addition, in response to one of the first flexible circuit board33and the second flexible circuit board34is used to charge the battery2, the other one of the first flexible circuit board33and the second flexible circuit board34may be used to discharge the battery2, such that a power supply need may be satisfied and the electronic device100may be ensured to be work normally.

For example, in embodiments shown in theFIG. 1andFIG. 2, a length direction (the direction F1as shown inFIG. 1) of the battery protection board21is a direction from the first board31to the second board32. That is, the first board31and the second board32are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the battery protection board21, the first board31is arranged at a side of the battery2, and the second board32is arranged at the other side of the battery. The first flexible circuit board33is connected between the battery protection board21and the first board31, the second flexible circuit board34is connected between the battery protection board21and the second board32. In this way, the first board31is arranged at one side of the length direction of the battery protection board21, and the second board32is arranged at the other side of the length direction of the battery protection board21, such that one end of the length direction of the battery protection board21(for example, a top end of the battery protection board21shown in theFIG. 1) may be close to the first board31, and the other end of the length direction of the battery protection board21(for example, a bottom end of the battery protection board21shown in theFIG. 1) may be close to the second board32. As a result, the current transmission path may be effectively reduced.

For example, in some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, the power interface10is connected with the second board32, in which case the second flexible circuit board34may be used to the second board to charge the battery2, and the first flexible circuit board33may be used to the battery2to discharge the first board. Moreover, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of ways for the second board32to obtain a discharge from the battery2, for example, the battery2may discharge the second board32by the second flexible circuit board34in response to the power interface10being not connected to the power outlet. For another example, in response to the circuit board assembly3includes a transition board30connected to the first board31and the second board32, the battery2may also discharge the second board32by the transition board30, such that a discharge from the battery to the first board31may also be transited to the second board32through the transition board30.

Therefore, the battery protection board21is arranged at a side of the battery2such that the first board31may be arranged at one side of a length direction of the battery protection board21and the second board32may be arranged at the other side of the length direction of the battery protection board21. In this way, two flexible circuit board may be extended out from the battery protection board21, that is, the first flexible circuit board33used to connected to the first board31and the second flexible circuit board34used to connected to the second board32. Thus, in response to the second board32being connected to the power interface10, the second flexible circuit board34may be used as a charging flexible circuit board to charge the battery2through the second board32being connected to the power interface10, and the first flexible circuit board33may be used as a discharging flexible circuit board to make the battery2supply power to the first board31. Similarly, in response to the first board31being connected to the power interface10, the first flexible circuit board33may be used as a charging flexible circuit board to charge the battery2through the first board31being connected to the power interface10, and the second flexible circuit board34may be used as a discharging flexible circuit board to make the battery2supply power to the second board32.

A heating loss calculation formula during a charging process of the battery2is P=I2R, wherein I is a charging current and R is a loop impedance, since the present disclosure can reduce a length of the flexible circuit board used to charge the battery2, a charging loop impedance R may be reduced, and a reduction amount of R is related to the length of the battery2, such that the heating loss may be reduced and the charging efficiency may be improved, which may be more significant in a case of high-current charging.

In short, the electronic device100according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the first board31is arranged at one side of a length direction of the battery protection board21and the second board32is arranged at the other side of the length direction of the battery protection board21, that is, the battery2is arranged at a side portion of space between the first board31and the second board32. Further, the first flexible circuit board33and the second flexible circuit board34are arranged, such that the charging path may be shortened to reduce the heating as charging, and the user experience may be improved.

It should be noted that a composition and function of “the battery protection board21” are well known to those skilled in the art. That is, for a rechargeable battery2, such as a lithium battery, an integrated circuit board acting as a protective role, etc., for example, for the rechargeable lithium battery, a reason why a protection is needed is determined by its own characteristics. A material of the lithium battery itself determines that it cannot be overcharged, over discharged, with an overcurrent, with a short circuit, and charged and discharged under an ultra-high temperature, thus the lithium battery always be with a protection board with a sampling resistor and a current fuse. Therefore, it will not be repeated here.

In addition, after a specific type of the electronic device100is determined, a specific composition and function of the “the first board31” and the “the second board32” are also well known to those skilled in the art. For example, in a case that the electronic device100is a smart phone, those skilled in the art can clearly understand what the first board31″ and “the second board32” refer to. Of course, the electronic device100according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to a smart phone, for example, may be a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted computer, etc., and no limitation is made here.

It should be noted that the cell22may be one or multiple, and the battery protection board21is connected to tabs of each of the cells22. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery2may have only one cell22. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery2may also have multiple cells22, and the multiple cells22are connected in series and/or in shunts, that is, the multiple cells22may be connected in series, or the multiple cells22may be connected in shunts, or the multiple cells22may be connected first in series and then in shunts, or the multiple cells22may be connected first in shunts and then in series, etc. In this way, different practical requirements may be satisfied.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the circuit board assembly3may include the transition board30connected to the first board and the second board. In response to the battery2discharging to the first board31through the first flexible circuit board33, the first board31may discharge to the second board32through the transition board30. In response to the battery2discharging to the second board32through the second flexible circuit board34, the second board32may discharge to the first board31through the transition board30. In this way, the electronic device may be work normally.

In some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown inFIG. 1, the transition board the transition board30may include a rigid circuit board35connected to the first board the first board31and the second board the second board32, and the rigid circuit board35is located on a side of the battery the battery2away from the battery protection board the battery protection board21. For example, in the embodiment shown inFIG. 1, in response to the battery protection board the battery protection board21is located on a right side of the battery2, the rigid circuit board35is located on a left side of the battery2, such that a space may be more fully utilized and an assembly may be facilitated.

In some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, inFIG. 2, the transition board30may include a third flexible circuit board36connected to the first board31and the second board32, and the third flexible circuit board36is arranged on a side of the battery2in a thickness direction of the battery2. In this way, there may be more accommodating space for the battery2to be reserved such that a capacity of the battery2may be larger to satisfy a longer standby time.

In some embodiments, as shown inFIG. 1, the battery protection board21is arranged at the side portion of the space between the first board31and the second board32. A meaning of “the side portion of the space between the first board31and the second board32” will be explained in the following, that is, the length direction of the battery protection board21is defined to be the first direction F1, the first direction F1is substantially perpendicular to the second direction F2. Two ends of the first board31in the second direction F2are a first end and second end, and two ends of the second board32in the second direction F2are a third end and a fourth end. The first end is opposite to the second end in the first direction F1, and the third end is opposite to the fourth end in the first direction F1. The battery protection board21is arranged between the first end and the third end, or between the second and the fourth end. That is, the battery protection board21is arranged close to a side edge of the space between the first board31and the second board32, such that an accommodating space for the cell22may be increased and the capacity and endurance of the battery2may be improved.

As shown inFIG. 1, the first flexible circuit board33is connected to a side portion of the first board31close to the battery protection board21, and the second flexible circuit board34is connected to a side portion of the second board32close to the battery protection board21. In this way, the length of the first flexible circuit board33may be further shortened, and the length of the second flexible circuit board34may be further shortened. As a result, the charging path may be shortened to reduce the heating as charging, and the user experience may be improved. For example, in the embodiments shown inFIG. 1, in response to the battery protection board21being arranged at a right side portion of the space between the first board31and the second board32, the first flexible circuit board33is connected to a right end of the first board31, and the second flexible circuit board34is connected to a right end of the second board32.

As shown inFIG. 1, the first flexible circuit board33is connected to one end of the length direction of the battery protection board21, and the second flexible circuit board34is connected to the other end of the length direction of the battery protection board21. In this way, the length of the first flexible circuit board33may be further shortened, and the length of the second flexible circuit board34may be further shortened. As a result, the charging path may be shortened to reduce the heating as charging, and the user experience may be improved. For example, in the specific embodiment shown inFIG. 1, the length direction of the battery protection board21is an up-down direction. The first flexible circuit board33may be connected to a top end of the battery protection board21, and the second flexible circuit board34may be connected to a bottom end of the battery protection board21. Of course, the present disclosure is not limited to thereto, the first flexible circuit board33and the second flexible circuit board34may also be connected to other parts of the battery protection board21to better satisfy different actual requirements.

In some embodiments, as shown inFIG. 1, the length direction of the battery protection board21(for example, the F1direction shown inFIG. 1) may be a length direction of the electronic device100. Therefore, for most electronic devices, there is no need to greatly improve structure types of the first board31and the second board32, and there is also no need to greatly improve an overall layout of the electronic devices. In this way, it may be more convenient for a mass production and a production cost may be reduced.

In some embodiments, as shown inFIG. 1, the housing1may include a first side edge11, a second side edge12opposite to and substantially parallel to the first side edge11, a third side edge13, and a fourth side edge14opposite to and substantially parallel to the third side edge13. The first side edge11is arranged at one side of a length direction of the third side edge13and the fourth side edge14, and the second side edge12is arranged at the other side portion of the third side edge13and the fourth side edge14. The first board31is arranged at a side portion of the second board32close to the first side edge11, the second board32is arranged at a side portion of the first board31close to the second side edge12, and the battery protection board21is substantially parallel to the third side edge13and the fourth side edge14. In this way, a structure of the housing1may be simple, so as to facilitate producing and processing, and facilitate an assembly of the first board31, the second board32and the battery2.

It should be noted that a number and a specific arrangement location of the power interface10are not limited. The specific locations of the power interface10in some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in the following, but the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments.

For example, in the embodiments shown inFIG. 1, the power interface10may include a first sub power interface101arranged on the first side edge11, and the first sub power interface101is electrically connected to the first board31to charge the battery2through the first flexible circuit board33. That is, in response to the first sub power interface101being connected to the power outlet, the first board31may charge the battery2through the first flexible circuit board33, and the battery2may discharge to the second board32through the second flexible circuit board34. In this way, since a distance between the first side edge11and the first board31is relatively short, a distance between the first sub power interface101and the first board31may be shortened, and the charging path may be further shortened, so as to reduce the heating as charging and improve the user experience.

For example, in the embodiments shown inFIG. 1, the power interface10may include a second sub power interface102arranged on the second side edge12, and the second sub power interface102is electrically connected to the second board32to charge the battery2through the second flexible circuit board34. That is, in response to the second sub power interface102being connected to the power outlet, the second board32may charge the battery2through the second flexible circuit board34, and the battery2may discharge to the first board31through the first flexible circuit board33. In this way, since a distance between the second side edge12and the second board32is relatively short, a distance between the second sub power interface102and the second board32may be shortened, and the charging path may be further shortened, so as to reduce the heating as charging and improve the user experience.

For example, in the embodiments shown inFIG. 1, the power interface10may include a third sub power interface103arranged on the third side edge13, the third sub power interface103is located in an orthographic projection (for example, A region shown inFIG. 1) of the first board31on the third side edge13, and electrically connected to the first board31to charge the battery2through the first flexible circuit board33. That is, in response to the third sub power interface103being connected to the power outlet, the first board31may charge the battery2through the first flexible circuit board33, and the battery2may discharge to the second board32through the second flexible circuit board34. In this way, since a distance between the third sub power interface103and the first board31is relatively short, the charging path may be further shortened to reduce the heating as charging and improve the user experience. In addition, in the present embodiment, in response to a distance L1between a side portion of the battery protection board21close to the fourth side edge and the third side edge13being less than a distance L2between the side portion of the battery protection board21and the fourth side edge14, a distance between the first flexible circuit board33and the third sub power interface103may be further shortened, such that a power transferring length from the third sub power interface103to the first flexible circuit board33may be shortened. In this way, the charging path may be further shortened, so as to reduce the heating as charging and improve the user experience.

For example, in the embodiments shown inFIG. 1, the power interface10may include a fourth sub power interface104arranged on the third side edge13, the fourth sub power interface104is located in an orthographic projection of the second board32on the third side edge13, and electrically connected to the second board32to charge the battery2through the second flexible circuit board34. That is, in response to the fourth sub power interface104being connected to the power outlet, the second board32may charge the battery2through the second flexible circuit board34, and the battery2may discharge to the first board31through the first flexible circuit board33. In this way, since a distance between the fourth sub power interface104and the second board32is relatively short, the charging path may be further shortened, so as to reduce the heating as charging and improve the user experience. In addition, in the present embodiment, in response to the distance L1between the side portion of the battery protection board21close to the fourth side edge and the third side edge13being less than the distance L2between the side portion of the battery protection board21and the fourth side edge14, a distance between the second flexible circuit board34and the fourth sub power interface104may be further shortened, such that a power transferring length from the fourth sub power interface104to the second flexible circuit board34may be shortened. In this way, the charging path may be further shortened, so as to reduce the heating as charging and improve the user experience.

In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery2is configured to be a structure where the battery protection board21is arranged on a side, the first flexible circuit board33extends out from one end of the battery protection board21and connected to the first board31, and the second flexible circuit board34extends out from the other end of the battery protection board21and connected to the first board31. The power interface10is arranged at a position close to the second board32. The secondary board32charges the battery2through the second flexible circuit board34, and the battery2discharges to the first board31through the first flexible circuit board33, so as to shorten the charging path and improve a charging effect. In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the power interface10may be arranged at a bottom, a side, or even a top of the electronic device100, such that the charging path may be shortened, the heating as charging may be reduced, and the user experience may be improved. Moreover, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first board31and the second board32may be arranged to be a separate form by the third flexible circuit board36, or may be arranged to be an integral form by the rigid circuit board35, which is not limited.
