Abstract

A printed circuit board is disclosed, comprising a plate body, a conductive pattern disposed on the plate body, a conductive metal plate, and a metal layer. The conductive metal plate has a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are fixed to the plate body. An accommodating space is between the conductive metal plate and the plate body. The metal layer covers the conductive metal plate and the conductive pattern, and is filled into the accommodating space. Therefore, a printed circuit board which has metal blocks with enough thickness is provided. The metal blocks can provide sufficiently low resistance to increase resistance efficiency of the printed circuit.

First claim

a plate body; a conductive pattern disposed on the plate body; a conductive metal plate having a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal and the second terminal of the conductive metal plate are fixed to the plate body, and an accommodating space is between the conductive metal plate and the plate body wherein the conductive metal plate is an arc structure, and a bottom of the conductive metal plate forms a curved surface above the accommodating space, so as to uplift the conductive metal plate away from the plate body; and a metal layer flowing into the accommodating space as being heated, so as to cover the conductive metal plate and the conductive pattern, and the metal layer is filled into the accommodating space.

2 . The printed circuit board as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plate body has a first hole and a second hole, the first terminal of the conductive metal plate has a first fastening part, the second terminal of the conductive metal plate has a second fastening part, the first fastening part is fastened to the first hole, and the second fastening part is fastened to the second hole.

3 . The printed circuit board as recited in claim 1 , wherein the conductive metal plate is a copper member or an iron plate which is tinned at a surface thereon.

4 . The printed circuit board as recited in claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is formed of tin.

5 . The printed circuit board as recited in claim 1 , wherein the printed circuit board is used in a power supply, and the conductive metal plate and the metal layer thereon are separated from a housing of the power supply by a distance.

6 . (canceled)

7 . The printed circuit board as recited in claim 1 , wherein a side of the conductive metal plate has a bumping structure partially protruded from a bottom side thereof, the bumping structure is disposed in the accommodating space and abuts against the plate body.

8 . A printed circuit board, comprising:
a plate body;
a conductive pattern disposed on the plate body;
a conductive metal plate having a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal and the second terminal of the conductive metal plate are fixed to the plate body, and the conductive metal plate is perpendicular to the plate body, wherein the conductive metal plate has a bottom side disposed on the plate body and an erective side perpendicular to the plate body, wherein the erective side has a height larger than a width of the bottom side, so as to form a corner space defined by the erective side of the conductive metal plate and a surface of the plate body; and
a metal layer attaching the corner space as being heated, so as to cover the conductive metal plate and the conductive pattern.

9 . The printed circuit board as recited in claim 8 , wherein the plate body has a first hole and a second hole, the first terminal of the conductive metal plate has a first fastening part, the second terminal of the conductive metal plate has a second fastening part, the first fastening part is fastened to the first hole, and the second fastening part is fastened to the second hole.

10 . A printed circuit board, comprising:
a plate body; a conductive pattern disposed on the plate body; a conductive metal plate having a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal and the second terminal of the conductive metal plate are fixed to the plate body, and an accommodating space is between the conductive metal plate and the plate body; wherein the conductive metal plate has a bumping structure partially protruded from a bottom side thereof, the bumping structure is disposed in the accommodating space and abuts against the plate body, so as to uplift the conductive metal plate away from the plate body; and a metal layer flowing into the accommodating space as being heated, so as to cover the conductive metal plate and the conductive pattern.
