The present disclosure relates to the field of portable devices, and particularly to a power breaking apparatus and a mobile phone.
At present, more and more mobile phones are designed with un-removable batteries. However since the batteries of the mobile phones are not removable, the inventors of the disclosure have identified during making of the disclosure the following drawbacks in the existing mobile phones.
While the mobile phones are being assembled, if the batteries are connected with mother boards, then power-on buttons may tend to be touched accidentally while the mobile phones are being assembled on a pipeline so that the mobile phones may be short-circuited, thus damaging elements thereof. Alike power-on buttons may tend to be touched accidentally while the mobile phones are being repaired, thus damaging elements thereof.
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a power breaking apparatus and a mobile phone so as to address the problem in the prior art of damaging elements in the mobile phone as a result of a power-on button of the mobile phone tending to be touched accidentally.
In a first aspect, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a power breaking apparatus including:
In a second aspect, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a mobile phone including the power breaking apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure in the first aspect.
With the power breaking apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure, before the mobile phone or another portable device is assembled on a pipeline, or is repaired, the power breaking apparatus is installed in position in advance. While the mobile phone or another portable device is being assembled or repaired, the short-circuit plug is inserted into the first jack socket and the second jack socket of the feeding device so that the first jack socket and the second jack socket of the feeding device are connected with each other, that is the power breaking apparatus is short-circuited, and at this time, the breaker is short-circuited, so that the power supply line of the power source PCB is cut off In order to operate normally the mobile phone or another portable device, the short-circuit plug is pulled out, and the breaker is reset, so that the power supply line of the power source PCB can be resumed into operation, thus improving the operational convenience and safety of the mobile phone.
One or more embodiments are illustrated by way of example, and not by limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings, wherein elements having the same reference numeral designations represent like elements throughout. The drawings are not to scale, unless otherwise disclosed.
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.
An embodiment of the disclosure provides a power breaking apparatus as illustrated in
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
