Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a mobile terminal 100 is provided with an electrical connector assembly in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The mobile terminal 100 includes a first body 110, a second body 120 installed at one end of the first body 110 configured to be opened and/or closed at a hinge portion 130. The mobile terminal 100 also includes an electrical connector assembly 200 installed inside the hinge portion 130, configured to electrically connect a first printed circuit board (PCB) 111 of the first body 110 with a second printed circuit board of the second body 120.
The electrical connector assembly 200 may include a fixed member 210 fixed inside the hinge portion 130 between the first body 110 and the second body 120. The electrical connector assembly 200 may also include a rotating member 220 installed inside the hinge portion 130 and rotatably coupled to the fixed member 210 configured to be electrically connected to the fixed member 210. The electrical connector assembly 200 may also include a first flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) 230 configured to electrically connect the fixed member 210 to the first PCB 111 of the first body 110. The electrical connector assembly 200 may also include a second flexible printed circuit board 240 configured to electrically connect the rotating member 220 to the second printed circuit board 121 of the second body 120. In order to provide for smooth rotation of the rotating member 220, the fixed member 210 and the rotating member 220 may preferably be constructed in rounded shapes. The fixed member 210 may be fixed to the hinge portion 130, and the rotating member 220 may be rotatably coupled to the fixed member 210. Even while rotating, the rotating member 220 may preferably be electrically connected to the fixed member 210. Structures of the fixed member and the rotating member are described below.
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the electrical connector assembly of the mobile terminal, according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a fixed member of the mobile terminal, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the fixed member 210 includes a housing 211 to provide a receiving space 212 and a stopping groove 221 d at an inner circumference of the receiving space 212. The fixed member 210 also includes a disc 213 installed in the receiving space 212 of the housing 221. The disc 213 has circuit patterns 214 on opposing sides. That is, the disc 213 has circuit patterns 214 on both of the substantially flat surfaces of the disc 213. An inter-connector 215 may electrically connect the FPCB 230 to the disc 213 and may be installed in the receiving space 212 of the housing 211 so as to elastically support the disc 213. It is also possible to electrically connect the disc 213 to the FPCB 230, directly.
Referring to FIG. 8, the rotating member 220 may include a plurality of housings 221 successively and rotatably coupled to each other. Each of the plurality of housings 221 provides a receiving space at one side and a plurality of ball contact points 221 a at the opposite side. A disc 223 is installed in the receiving space 222 of each housing 221 and has circuit patterns on opposing sides. An inter-connector 225 electrically connects the ball contact points 221 a of the housing 221 to the disc 223 and is installed inside the housing 221 to elastically support the disc 223.
Referring again to FIG. 7, the inter-connector 215 of the fixed member 210 is configured to electrically connect each circuit pattern 214 of the disc 213 to each ball contact point 221 a of the housing 221. The inter-connector 215 is preferably made with silicon rubber having conductive wire to allow electrical connection between each circuit pattern to a respective ball contact point.
The inter-connector 215 also pushes the circuit pattern 214 of the disc 215 toward the ball contact point 221 a to allow the circuit pattern 214 of the disc 215 and the ball contact point 221 a to maintain elastic contact between the circuit pattern 214 and the ball contact point 221 a. Referring again to FIG. 8, the inter-connector 225 of the rotating member 220 also electrically connects each circuit pattern 224 of the disc 223 to each ball contact point 221 a of the housing 221. The inter-connector 225 is preferably made with silicon rubber having conductive wire to allow electrical connection between each circuit pattern to a respective ball contact point. The inter-connector 225 also pushes the circuit pattern 224 of the disc 223 toward the ball contact point 221 a to allow the circuit pattern 224 of the disc 225 and the ball contact point 221 a to maintain elastic contact between the circuit pattern 224 and the ball contact point 221 a. The rotating member 220 also includes a plurality of constituent elements, such as for example, five constituent elements. Because the rotating member 220 includes a plurality of constituent elements, the rotating member 220 may be smoothly rotated in the rotating of the second body 120 while the electrical connection between the fixed member 210 and the rotating member 220 is maintained. The constituent elements may be, for example, rotating parts. Thus, the rotating member 220 may include a first rotating part 220 a rotatably coupled to the fixed member 210, a second rotating part 220 b rotatably coupled to the first rotating part 220 a, a third rotating part 220 c rotatably coupled to the second rotating part 220 b, a fourth rotating part 220 d rotatably coupled to the third rotating part 220 c, and a fifth rotating part 220 e rotatably coupled to the fourth rotating part 220 d. The first through fifth rotating parts 220 a–220 e may preferably have the same shape and structure.
Referring again to FIG. 6, each ball contact point 221 a of the first rotating part 220 a may contact each circuit pattern 214 of the disc 213 installed inside the housing 221 of the fixed member 210. Each ball contact point 221 a of the second to fifth rotating parts 220 b–220 e may contact each circuit pattern 224 that is adjacent and corresponding thereto. When the user opens or closes the second body 120, the fifth rotating part 220 e, the fourth rotating part 220 d, the third rotating part 220 c, the second rotating part 220 b and the first rotating part 220 a may be sequentially and successively rotated by a predetermined angle, such as about 30�. In other words, a stopping protrusion 221 b and a stopping groove 221 c may be formed at the housing 221 of each of the first to fifth rotating parts 220 a–220 e, such that when a user opens or closes the second body 120, the fifth rotating part 220 e, the fourth rotating part 220 d, the third rotating part 220 c, the second rotating part 220 b and the first rotating part 220 a are sequentially and successively rotated. A stopping groove 221 d may be formed at one side of the first rotating part 220 a and a stopping protrusion 221 b may be formed at one side of the fifth rotating part 220 e while the stopping protrusions 221 b and the stopping grooves 221 c may be formed at both sides of the second rotating part 221 b, the third rotating part 220 c and the fourth rotating part 220 d. The stopping protrusion 221 b of the first rotating part 220 a may be coupled to the stopping groove 221 d of the fixed member 210. Accordingly, when the user opens or closes the second body 120, the rotating member 220 may be smoothly rotated to the open or closed angle of the second body 120.
The first FPCB 230 may electrically connect the fixed member 210 to the first PCB 11. The second FPCB 240 may electrically connect the second printed circuit board of the second body to the rotating member 220. For example, the second FPCB 240 may electrically connect the second printed circuit board of the second body to the fifth rotating part 220 e. An exemplary operation of the electrical connector assembly 200 of the mobile terminal 100 is described below. When the user opens the second body 120, the fifth rotating part 220 e fixed to the second body 120 is rotated. Because the stopping protrusion 221 b and the stopping groove 221 c are formed at the housing 221 of each of the first to fifth rotating parts 220 a–220 e, the fifth rotating part 220 e, the fourth rotating part 220 d, the third rotating part 220 c, the second rotating part 220 b, and the first rotating part 220 a are successively rotated by an angle of about 30�, for example. Accordingly, the second body may be opened to an angle of about 150�. The elastic contact between the circuit patterns 214 of the disc 213 and the ball contact points 221 a is maintained by the inter-connector 215 mounted in the receiving space 212 of the housing 221 of the fixed member 210. Furthermore, the elastic contact between the circuit patterns 224 of the disc 223 and the ball contact points 221 a is maintained by the inter-connector 225 mounted in the receiving space 222 of the housing 221 of the rotating member 220. Accordingly, an electrical signal may be transmitted to the first FPCB 230 connected to the first PCB 111, the fixed member 210, the rotating member 220, the second FPCB 240, and the second printed circuit board of the second body 120. In contrast, when the user closes the second body 120, the fifth rotating part 220 e fixed to the second body 120, to the first rotating part 220 a are rotated in reverse order of the aforementioned ‘opening’ operation. Accordingly, the second body 120 is rotated by an angle of about 150� and closed.
In one embodiment, an electrical connector assembly is disposed in a mobile terminal comprising a first body coupled to a second body by a hinge portion, and the electrical connector assembly comprises a fixed member disposed in the hinge portion, having at least one first contact. The electrical connector assembly also comprises a rotating member disposed in the hinge portion, rotatably connected to the fixed member, the rotating member comprising at least one second contact that is electrically connected to the at least one first contact of the first member.
The fixed member may comprise a housing having a receiving space and a disc installed inside the receiving space, the disc having circuit patterns on a first side and a second side. The fixed member may also comprise an inter-connector configured to electrically connect the first flexible printed circuit board to the disc, the inter-connector installed inside the receiving space to elastically support the disc.
The present invention provides a circuit connection structure inside a hinge portion between a first body and a second body in a mobile terminal that may reduce breakage and/or damage to a flexible printed circuit board.
