Abstract

A FPC mounting module includes a mounting part and an FPC. The mounting part is provided with a mounting hole, the FPC penetrates the mounting hole, and there is a gap between the FPC and an inner wall surface of the mounting hole. A first surface of the FPC is glued to a first wall surface of the mounting hole by using a first adhesive part. The gap is filled with flowing adhesive, to form a second adhesive part. The FPC is sealed in and fastened to the mounting hole by using the second adhesive part.

Claims (34)

1 . A flexible printed circuit (FPC) mounting module, comprising:

a mounting part provided with a mounting hole; and

a first surface of the FPC is glued to a first wall surface of the mounting hole by using a first adhesive part; and

a bracket and a third adhesive part, wherein the bracket is glued to a second surface of the FPC by using the third adhesive part, the second surface of the FPC is opposite to the first surface; and

the gap is filled with flowing adhesive, to form a second adhesive part, and the FPC is sealed in and fastened to the mounting hole by using the second adhesive part.

2 . The FPC mounting module of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is press-fitted between the third adhesive part and a second wall surface of the mounting hole, and the second wall surface of the mounting hole is opposite to the first wall surface; and the FPC, the first adhesive part, the bracket, and the third adhesive part are sealed in and fastened to the mounting hole by using the second adhesive part.

3 . The FPC mounting module of claim 2 , wherein, in a width direction of the FPC, the FPC is located between two opposite side edges of the first adhesive part, the third adhesive part is located between two opposite side edges of the FPC, and the bracket is located between two opposite side edges of the third adhesive part.

4 . The FPC mounting module of claim 2 , wherein both the first adhesive part and the third adhesive part are double-sided adhesive.

5 . The FPC mounting module of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the mounting hole is a trapezoid.

6 . An electronic device, comprising:

a flexible printed circuit (FPC) mounting module, comprising:
