     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0016]    In order to make the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions according to the embodiments of the disclosure will be described below clearly and fully with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure, and apparently the embodiments described below are only a part but not all of the embodiments of the disclosure. Based upon the embodiments here of the disclosure, all the other embodiments which can occur to those skilled in the art without any inventive effort shall fall into the scope of the disclosure. 
       First Embodiment 
       [0017]    An embodiment of the disclosure provides a power breaking apparatus as illustrated in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , where the apparatus includes a power source Printed Circuit Board (PCB)  4 , a breaker, and a short-circuit plug  1 . The power source PCB  4  is electrically connected with an anode and a cathode of a power source  5  to control a mobile phone to be powered, and the power source  5  to be charged and discharged. In a preferred implementation, the power source PCB  4  is a Flexible Circuit Board (FPB) to accommodate a low-weight and thin mobile phone. Moreover the flexible circuit board can have routing arranged flexibly as a function of the positions of elements in the mobile phone. The breaker is electrically connected with a mobile phone PCB  7 , and particularly the breaker is arranged on a power supply line of the power source PCB  4  for the purpose of protective power breaking while the mobile phone is being assembled or repaired. Those skilled in the art can appreciate that the breaker is a breaker panel which can be arranged in the power source PCB  4  or the mobile phone PCB  7 . Of course, the breaker can alternatively be a breaker in another form as long as the mobile phone can operate as required, and the embodiment of the disclosure will not be limited to any particular form thereof. 
         [0018]    When the mobile phone is short-circuited, there will be large current passing so that a breaker switch is opened instantaneously to thereby protect the mobile phone. The breaker is arranged with a feeding device including a first jack socket  8  and a second jack socket  9 . The short-circuit plug  1  is arranged to be electrically connected with a first plug  2  and a second plug  3 . When the first jack socket  8  is connected with the second jack socket  9 , then the feeding device will be short-circuited. At this time, the breaker is opened instantaneously when the mobile phone is powered on, so that the power supply line of the power source PCB  4  is broken. 
         [0019]    While the mobile phone is being assembled or repaired, in order to prevent elements of the mobile phone from being damaged as a result of a power button being touched accidentally, firstly the first plug  2  and the second plug  3  of the short-circuit plug  1  are inserted respectively into the first jack socket  8  and the second jack socket  9  of the feeding device so that the first jack socket  8  is connected with the second jack socket  9 . When the power button is touched accidentally, then the mobile phone PCB  7  will be powered on instantaneously, and since the first jack socket  8  is connected with the second jack socket  9 , the power supply line is short-circuited so that the breaker is opened instantaneously to thereby avoid in effect the other elements from being damaged after the mobile phone is powered on. Since the breaker is opened, the mobile phone can not be powered even when the power button is touched accidentally. After the mobile phone is assembled or repaired, the short-circuit plug  1  is pulled out, and the breaker is reset, so that the mobile phone can be powered on normally. 
         [0020]    In a preferred implementation of the disclosure, in order to accommodate a low-weight and thin mobile phone, and to facilitate a design of routing, the power source PCB  4  is a Flexible Circuit Board (FCB). The breaker panel is arranged on the FCB. Referring to  FIG. 2 , the feeding device includes a conductor  11 , the first plug  2 , and the second plug  3 . The first plug  2  and the second plug  3  are arranged on the conductor  11 . Furthermore in order to facilitate installation thereof, the first plug  2  and the second plug  3  are perpendicular to the conductor  11 . The distance between the first plug  2  and the second plug  3  is the same as the distance between the first jack socket  8  and the second jack socket  9  to thereby enable the short-circuit plug  1  to be engaged with the feeding device. The thickness of the FCB is smaller than that of a conventional PCB so that a smaller part of the space in the mobile phone may be occupied, and the FCB can be bent at some angle to thereby facilitate a design of routing in the mobile phone. 
         [0021]    In order for convenient manufacturing, the conductor  11  is shaped like an elliptic sheet. Moreover the sheet-like structure can further accommodate a low-weight and thin mobile phone. Of course, the shape of the conductor  11  can be round, rectangular, triangular, or another shape as long as the mobile phone can be installed as required, and the embodiment of the disclosure will not be limited thereto. Optionally in order for convenient manufacturing, the material of the short-circuit plug  1  can be a copper alloy or an aluminum alloy. Of course, the conductor  11  can alternatively be made of another material as long as the first plug  2  can be connected with the second plug  3 , and the embodiment of the disclosure will not be limited thereto. 
         [0022]    In order to ensure the short-circuit plug  1  to be electrically connected with the feeding device reliably, the first plug  2  is embodied as a spring pin connector (pogo pin). More preferably the second plug  3  is also embodied as a spring pin connector (pogo pin). The spring pin connector (pogo pin) can have the feeding device pressed more tightly to thereby ensure the first plug  8  to be connected with the second plug  9 . 
         [0023]    While the mobile phone is being assembled or repaired, in order to prevent the elements of the mobile phone from being damaged as a result of the power button being touched accidentally, firstly the two spring pin connectors (pogo pin) of the short-circuit plug  1  are inserted into the first plug  8  and the second plug  9  of the feeding device so that the first plug  8  is connected with the second plug  9 . When the power button is touched accidentally, then the mobile phone PCB  7  will be powered instantaneously, and since the first plug  8  is connected with the second plug  9 , the power supply line will be short-circuited, and since there is large current passing, the breaker is opened instantaneously to thereby avoid in effect the other elements from being damaged after the mobile phone is powered on. Since the breaker is opened, the mobile phone cannot be powered even if the power button is touched accidentally. After the mobile phone is assembled or repaired, the short-circuit plug  1  is pulled out, and the breaker is reset, so that the mobile phone can be powered on normally. The power breaking apparatus is structured simply, and convenient to use. 
       Second Embodiment 
       [0024]    An embodiment of the disclosure further provides a mobile phone including the power breaking apparatus according to the first embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 , the mobile phone further includes a mobile phone PCB  7 , a connecting device  6 , and a power source  5 . The connecting device  6  is configured to connect the mobile phone PCB board  7  with the power source PCB  4  to thereby power the mobile phone, and the breaker (not illustrated) can be installed on the mobile phone PCB board  7  or the power source PCB  4 , where the feeding device of the breaker is electrically connected with the power source PCB  4 . Routing of the power source PCB  4  can be arranged reasonably as a function of the positions of the elements in the mobile phone. Moreover the power source PCB  4  is further electrically connected with a power button of the mobile phone, and a USB socket of the mobile phone to thereby control the mobile phone to be supplied, and the power source  5  to be charged. In this embodiment, the feeding device is arranged at the lower end of the mobile phone. Of course, the feeding device can alternatively be positioned otherwise as required, and the embodiment of the disclosure will not be limited thereto. 
         [0025]    While the mobile phone is being assembled or repaired, in order to prevent elements of the mobile phone from being damaged as a result of a power button being touched accidentally, firstly the first plug  2  and the second plug  3  of the short-circuit plug  1  are inserted respectively into the first jack socket  8  and the second jack socket  9  of the feeding device so that the first jack socket  8  is connected with the second jack socket  9 . When the power button is touched accidentally, then the mobile phone PCB  7  will be powered on instantaneously, and since the first jack socket  8  is connected with the second jack socket  9 , the power supply line is short-circuited so that the breaker is opened instantaneously to thereby avoid in effect the other elements from being damaged after the mobile phone is powered on. Since the breaker is opened, the mobile phone cannot be powered even when the power button is touched accidentally. After the mobile phone is assembled or repaired, the short-circuit plug  1  is pulled out, and the breaker is reset, so that the mobile phone can be powered on normally.
