Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of antenna technology, and particularly relates to a television set and its SUB-6G antenna assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Fifth-generation mobile communication technology, or 5G for short, is the latest generation of cellular mobile communication technology. The performance goals of 5G are to increase data rates and system capacity, reduce latency, save energy, lower costs, and enable communication connections for a large number of devices. Currently, in 5G communication systems, SUB-6G MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) antenna communication systems are used to achieve wide-area coverage of communication signals.

[0003] Existing televisions typically use a combination of 2.4G and 5.8G WiFi (Wireless-Fidelity) modules, with communication speeds limited by the router's speed, which cannot meet the needs of 8K high-definition televisions. Furthermore, most existing televisions use external antennas mounted on FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) springs or onboard antennas mounted on PCB (Printed Circuit Board), which places high demands on the selection of antenna installation locations. This results in the external environment having a significant impact on antenna performance and poor antenna versatility. Summary of the Invention

[0027] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0029] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention provides a SUB-6G antenna assembly 100 for use in a television set, including a housing 101 of an OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) box and several sets of antennas disposed inside the housing 101. Each set of antennas includes two antennas with the same operating frequency, shape and size, and at least one set of antennas is isolated.

[0032] In applications, the number of antennas and the positions of the two antennas in each group can be set according to actual needs. To optimize the isolation between antennas, the distance between the two antennas in each group should be as far as possible to maximize the isolation between the two antennas in each group, reduce interference between antennas, and make the antenna performance more stable. For example, all antennas can be arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the housing and the two antennas in each group can be isolated from each other, or all antennas can be isolated from each other in pairs.

[0033] In application, the housing can specifically be the top cover of an OPS box. Other electronic components within the OPS box are fixedly housed within its open enclosure, which consists of a bottom cover and side walls. The inner side of the top cover is used to house the antenna, and the top cover is detachably fitted onto the opening of the enclosure. The central axis of the housing refers to any straight line passing through the geometric center of the housing. When the housing is rectangular or rectangular-like (e.g., rounded rectangle), the central axis can be a central axis passing through the geometric center of the housing and parallel to its length or width direction; specifically, it can be a central axis passing through the geometric center of the housing and parallel to its length direction.

[0034] In application, each antenna is mounted and fixed inside the housing, with its position and orientation remaining unchanged. This effectively reduces the impact of the external environment on antenna performance and provides good antenna versatility.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, an exemplary representation is shown of several antenna groups comprising four antenna groups consisting of a first antenna 1, a second antenna 2, a third antenna 3, a fourth antenna 4, a fifth antenna 5, a sixth antenna 6, a seventh antenna 7, and an eighth antenna 8.

[0036] The first antenna 1 operates at frequencies of 824MHz-960MHz and 1710MHz-2690MHz, the second antenna 2 operates at frequencies of 824MHz-960MHz and 1710MHz-2690MHz, the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4 operate at frequencies of 1400MHz-2690MHz, and the fifth antenna 5, the sixth antenna 6, the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 operate at frequencies of 3300MHz-5000MHz.

[0037] In application, the operating frequency of each antenna can be set according to actual needs, as long as it meets the communication performance requirements of SUB-6G.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first antenna, the second antenna, the third antenna, the fourth antenna, the fifth antenna, the sixth antenna, the seventh antenna, and the eighth antenna are isolated from each other in pairs.

[0039] In applications, the shape and size of each antenna can be set according to actual needs, as long as it meets the corresponding communication performance requirements and its size is suitable for mounting inside the housing. Examples include rectangular, L-shaped, ring-shaped, square, rhomboid, and other regular polygonal shapes. To save space, multiple antennas can be evenly arranged inside the housing. Various antenna shapes can be combined and arranged. Rectangular, square, and L-shaped antennas can be placed near the edge of the housing, while ring-shaped, square, rhomboid, and other regular polygonal antennas can be placed near the center of the housing, optimizing the isolation between antennas by maximizing spatial distance. Figures 1 to 8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, the first antenna 1, the second antenna 2, the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4 are all elongated, while the fifth antenna 5, the sixth antenna 6, the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are all figure-eight shaped antennas.

[0040] In applications, the figure-eight shape can specifically be composed of two rings, squares, rhombuses, and other regular polygons.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, an exemplary figure-eight antenna is formed by splicing together two regular hexagonal antennas or connecting them by wires.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the aspect ratio of the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2 is 134.65:15, the aspect ratio of the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4 is 75:15, and the ratio of the outer side length to the inner side length of the fifth antenna 5, the sixth antenna 6, the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 is 11.15:7.69.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 or Figure 8 As shown, the fifth antenna 5, the sixth antenna 6, the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are all figure-eight antennas. The fifth antenna 5 and the sixth antenna 6 are combined to form a four-leaf clover shape and are attached to the first substrate 102. The seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are combined to form a four-leaf clover shape and are attached to the second substrate 103.

[0044] In applications, by combining the fifth and sixth antennas into a clover shape and mounting them on the first substrate, and combining the seventh and eighth antennas into a clover shape and mounting them on the second substrate, the antennas can be integrated, facilitating mounting and routing, and reducing the area. The first and second substrates can have the same shape and size and can be configured according to actual needs.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the aspect ratio of the first substrate 102 and the second substrate 103 is 30:30, which is an exemplary example.

[0046] like Figures 1-5 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2, the fifth antenna 5 and the sixth antenna 6, and the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the housing 101, and the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4 are each symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the housing 101.

[0047] The third antenna 3, the fourth antenna 4, the fifth antenna 5, the sixth antenna 6, the seventh antenna 7, and the eighth antenna 8 are positioned between the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2.

[0048] like Figures 6-8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the housing 101, and the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4, the fifth antenna 5 and the sixth antenna 6, and the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the housing 101.

[0049] The third antenna 3, the fourth antenna 4, the fifth antenna 5, the sixth antenna 6, the seventh antenna 7, and the eighth antenna 8 are positioned between the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2.

[0050] In the application, by placing the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth antennas between the first and second antennas, the distance between the first and second antennas is maximized, thereby optimizing the isolation between the first and second antennas, reducing signal interference between them, and making the working performance of the first and second antennas more stable.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, an exemplary illustration shows that the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are disposed between the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4, and the fifth antenna 5 and the sixth antenna 6 are disposed on the side of the third antenna 3 away from the fourth antenna 4.

[0052] like Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, an exemplary embodiment is illustrated where the fifth antenna 5 and the sixth antenna 6 are disposed between the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4, and the seventh antenna 7 and the eighth antenna 8 are disposed on the side of the fourth antenna 4 away from the third antenna 3.

[0053] In applications, by placing the seventh and eighth antennas between the third and fourth antennas, and the fifth and sixth antennas on the side of the third antenna furthest from the fourth antenna; or by placing the fifth and sixth antennas between the third and fourth antennas, and the seventh and eighth antennas on the side of the fourth antenna furthest from the third antenna, the third and fourth antennas, as well as the fifth and sixth antennas, can be isolated from the seventh and eighth antennas. This optimizes the isolation between these antennas, reduces signal interference between antennas operating at the same frequency, and makes the performance of these antennas more stable.

[0054] like Figures 5-8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, an exemplary illustration shows a fifth antenna 5, a sixth antenna 6, a seventh antenna 7, and an eighth antenna 8 disposed between a third antenna 3 and a fourth antenna 4.

[0055] In the application, by placing the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth antennas between the third and fourth antennas, the distance between the third and fourth antennas is maximized, thereby optimizing the isolation between the third and fourth antennas, reducing signal interference between them, and making the working performance of the third and fourth antennas more stable.

[0056] like Figures 1-5As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, the length directions of the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2 are parallel to the central axis of the housing 101, and the length directions of the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4 are perpendicular to the central axis of the housing 101.

[0057] like Figures 6-8 As shown in any of the accompanying drawings, the length directions of the first antenna 1 and the second antenna 2 are exemplarily shown to be perpendicular to the central axis of the housing 101, while the length directions of the third antenna 3 and the fourth antenna 4 are parallel to the central axis of the housing 101.

[0058] In one embodiment, the angle between the length directions of the fifth and seventh antennas and the central axis of the housing is θ, and the angle between the length directions of the sixth and eighth antennas and the central axis of the housing is -θ, where θ ranges from 30° to 60° or from -30° to -60°.

[0059] In application, the tilt angles of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth antennas can be set according to actual needs. For example, the value of θ can be in the range of (0°, 90°) or (0°, -90°). The tilting of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth antennas is primarily to make efficient use of the housing space, minimizing the space occupied by all antennas, allowing the housing to be made smaller, thus reducing the size of the OPS box and ultimately making the television thinner and lighter.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 or Figure 8 As shown, an example is given where θ equals 45°.

[0061] like Figure 2 or Figure 7 As shown, an example is given where θ equals -45°.

[0062] This invention provides a SUB-6G antenna assembly for televisions. By arranging several sets of antennas inside the OPS box housing, with each set including two antennas of the same operating frequency, shape, and size, and at least one set of antennas isolated, the communication rate can be effectively improved to meet the requirements of 8K high-definition televisions. This effectively reduces the impact of the external environment on antenna performance and provides good antenna versatility. Isolating at least one set of antennas can reduce interference between antennas, making the antenna's operating performance more stable.

[0063] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
