[0023] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, further description will be given below in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that the directional terms "up" and "down" in the present invention are defined based on the normal placement state of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention when the antenna assembly is assembled, wherein the base is at the bottom and the antenna bracket is at the top. In addition, the present invention defines the direction in which the antenna bracket slides toward the engaged position as "front", the direction in which the antenna bracket withdraws from the engaged position as "rear", and the two sides of the sliding direction of the antenna bracket are defined as "left" and "right".

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention discloses an electronic device, including a base 1 and an antenna assembly, wherein the antenna assembly includes an antenna bracket 2 and an antenna body 3, wherein the antenna body 3 is arranged on the antenna bracket 2, and the antenna bracket 2 is slidably arranged on the base 1, and a snap-fit ​​mechanism is formed between the antenna bracket 2 and the base 1, and the antenna bracket 2 placed on the base 1 can slide to a snap-fit ​​position, and the snap-fit ​​mechanism is configured to limit the antenna bracket 2 at the snap-fit ​​position, and when the resistance generated by the snap-fit ​​mechanism is overcome, the antenna bracket 2 can be reversely withdrawn from the snap-fit ​​position.

[0026] The present invention arranges the antenna body 3 on the antenna bracket 2. During assembly, it is only necessary to place the antenna bracket 2 equipped with the antenna body 3 on the base 1, and then slide it to the engaging position, and the antenna assembly can be installed and positioned by relying on the engaging mechanism, and the installation is simple. When the antenna needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to slide the antenna bracket 2 out of the engaging position with a certain force, and then the antenna assembly can be taken out to replace the antenna. The replacement operation is simple and fast, saving time and labor, and it is not easy to cause the antenna to be scrapped, which is conducive to saving the cost of reworking and scrapping the antenna. Moreover, during assembly, the present invention does not require screw locking, so there is no need to reserve a screw position, which can save screw costs and corresponding labor costs, and is also conducive to space utilization.

[0027] In some embodiments, the antenna body 3 is an FPC antenna, which is attached to one side of the antenna bracket 2. However, this is not limited thereto.

[0028] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism includes an elastic buckle 21 and a block 22 formed on the antenna bracket 2 and a locking protrusion 11 and a slot 12 formed on the base 1. When the antenna bracket 2 slides to the locking position, the elastic buckle 21 is engaged with the locking protrusion 11 to prevent the antenna bracket 2 from sliding in the opposite direction, and the block 22 slides into the slot 12, wherein the upper surface of the block 22 is engaged with the upper wall of the slot 12, and the two side surfaces of the block 22 are respectively engaged with the two side walls of the slot 12.

[0029] When the antenna bracket 2 slides to the engaging position, the elastic buckle 21 on the antenna bracket 2 can be engaged with the engaging protrusion 11 on the base 1, thereby preventing the antenna bracket 2 from sliding in the opposite direction; in addition, when the antenna bracket 2 is in the engaging position, the block 22 on the antenna bracket 2 will slide into the slot 12 on the base 1, and the upper surface and the two side surfaces of the block 22 are respectively engaged with the upper wall and the two side walls of the slot 12, thereby preventing the antenna bracket 2 from shaking up and down and left and right. Therefore, the antenna assembly of the present invention can be firmly positioned in the engaging position.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic buckle 21 extends forward from the front side wall of the antenna bracket 2, and the elastic buckle 21 includes an elastic arm 211 and a convex portion 212 extending downward from the front end of the elastic arm 211. The convex portion 11 is convexly arranged on the base 1, and the front and rear sides of the upper part of the convex portion 11 are respectively formed with guide surfaces 111 for guiding the sliding of the convex portion 212. Through this design, only one set of elastic buckle 21 and convex portion 11 can be provided, that is, the purpose of preventing the antenna bracket 2 from sliding in the opposite direction can be reliably achieved; and by providing the guide surface 111 on the convex portion 11, the elastic buckle 21 is facilitated to cooperate with the convex portion 11.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, a clamping block 22 is formed at the front and rear ends of the antenna bracket 2 ; and the base 1 is provided with a clamping groove 12 corresponding to the clamping blocks 22 at the front and rear ends of the antenna bracket 2 .

[0032] By providing the clamping blocks 22 at the front and rear ends of the antenna bracket 2 respectively, and correspondingly providing the clamping grooves 12 on the base 1, it is helpful to achieve stable positioning of the antenna bracket 2.

[0033] Specifically, the base 1 is a metal part, on which a flexible conductive part 4 is fixed, the antenna bracket 2 includes a sliding bottom surface 23, the antenna bracket 2 is slidably arranged on the flexible conductive part 4 through the sliding bottom surface 23, and the antenna body 3 is grounded through the flexible conductive part 4; the block 22 is respectively located on the front and rear sides of the sliding bottom surface 23 and is slidably arranged on the base 1.

[0034] Since the base 1 is a metal part, by fixing the flexible conductive part 4 on the base 1 and sliding the antenna bracket 2 on the flexible conductive part 4, the antenna body 3 can be grounded through the flexible conductive part 4, and the clearance of the antenna body 3 can be increased. In addition, since the clamping blocks 22 on both the front and rear sides are slidably disposed on the base 1, the antenna bracket 2 can slide stably.

[0035] In some examples of the present invention, a bearing plane 13 is formed on the base 1, the flexible conductive member 4 is fixed on the bearing plane 13, and the bottom surface of the clamping block 22 is lower than the sliding bottom surface 23 of the antenna bracket 2 so that the clamping block 22 is slidably disposed on the bearing plane 13. This design is conducive to increasing the clearance of the antenna body 3.

[0036] Of course, it is understandable that the engaging mechanism in the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation manner, and any engaging manner that can limit the antenna bracket 2 at the engaging position should be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] In some embodiments, the base 1 is a metal member, a flexible conductive member 4 is fixedly disposed on the base 1 , the antenna bracket 2 is slidably disposed on the flexible conductive member 4 , and the antenna body 3 is grounded through the flexible conductive member 4 .

[0038] Since the base 1 is a metal part, by fixing the flexible conductive part 4 on the base 1 and sliding the antenna bracket 2 on the flexible conductive part 4, on the one hand, the antenna body 3 can be grounded through the flexible conductive part 4, and on the other hand, the clearance of the antenna body 3 can be increased.

[0039] As a specific implementation, the flexible conductive member 4 is conductive foam, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0040] In some embodiments, there are two antenna assemblies, which are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the base 1, and each antenna bracket 2 is respectively provided with a wire management slot 24 for the feeder 31 to pass through. The arrangement of the two antenna assemblies enables the present invention to provide the functions of a main antenna and an auxiliary antenna, and the arrangement of the wire management slot 24 facilitates the reasonable routing of the feeder 31.

[0041] Specifically, the electronic device further comprises a metal shell 6, the base 1 is fixedly arranged at the edge of the metal shell 6, and an antistatic aluminum foil 7 corresponding to the antenna assembly is arranged between the metal shell 6 and the base 1. With this design, a good antistatic effect can be achieved.

[0042] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are all within the scope of the present invention.
