[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the antennas of mobile phones are usually arranged on both sides of the middle frame of the whole machine. This layout will cause the signal to be blocked when the user holds the phone horizontally, such as when playing games, affecting the antenna performance. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application aims to provide an electronic device, which solves or improves the technical problem that the performance of the antenna in the electronic device is greatly affected when the device is held horizontally.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, including:

[0006] Equipment body;

[0007] A circuit board assembly is disposed inside the device body;

[0008] A button assembly is movably arranged on the device body, and the button assembly includes a first button and a second button, and the first button and the second button are both arranged corresponding to the circuit board assembly;

[0009] The antenna is arranged between the first button and the second button and is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device includes a device body, a circuit board assembly, a button assembly and an antenna. The circuit board assembly is arranged in the device body. The button assembly includes a first button and a second button. The first button and the second button are both arranged corresponding to the circuit board assembly, that is, the corresponding switch elements on the circuit board assembly can be triggered by the first button and the second button. The antenna and the circuit board assembly are electrically connected, and then the antenna can send and receive signals.

[0011] Furthermore, there is a gap between the first button and the second button, and the antenna is disposed between the first button and the second button, that is, the antenna is at least partially exposed to the outside of the device body, thereby making the antenna have better performance.

[0012] In addition, since the button assembly is usually pressed when needed, the button assembly is not blocked for a long time during normal use of the electronic device by the user, especially the position between the first button and the second button, which the user rarely touches. Therefore, the antenna will be fully exposed in most scenarios, thereby enabling the antenna to have more stable performance and better performance during the use of the electronic device.

[0013] In addition, the first button, antenna and second button are arranged side by side, and only one mounting hole can be opened on the device body, which reduces the processing difficulty, and further helps to reduce the number of openings on the device body, making it easier to prevent dust and water from entering the device body.

[0031] Combine the following Figures 1 to 9 An electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides an electronic device 100, including: a device body 110; a circuit board assembly 120, arranged inside the device body 110; a button assembly 130, movably arranged in the device body 110, the button assembly 130 includes a first button 132 and a second button 134, the first button 132 and the second button 134 are both arranged corresponding to the circuit board assembly 120; an antenna 140, arranged between the first button 132 and the second button 134, and electrically connected to the circuit board assembly.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 includes a device body 110, a circuit board assembly 120, a button assembly 130 and an antenna 140. The circuit board assembly 120 is arranged in the device body 110. The button assembly 130 includes a first button 132 and a second button 134. The first button 132 and the second button 134 are both arranged corresponding to the circuit board assembly 120, that is, the corresponding switch elements on the circuit board assembly 120 can be triggered by the first button 132 and the second button 134. The antenna 140 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 120, and then the antenna 140 can send and receive signals.

[0034] Furthermore, there is a gap between the first button 132 and the second button 134 , and the antenna 140 is disposed between the first button 132 and the second button 134 , that is, the antenna 140 is at least partially exposed to the outside of the device body 110 , so that the antenna 140 has better performance.

[0035] Furthermore, since the button assembly 130 is usually pressed only when needed, the button assembly 130 is not blocked for a very short time during normal use of the electronic device 100 by the user, especially the position between the first button 132 and the second button 134, which is rarely touched by the user. Therefore, the antenna 140 will be fully exposed in most scenarios, thereby enabling the antenna 140 to have more stable performance and better performance during use of the electronic device 100.

[0036] In addition, the first button 132, the antenna 140, and the second button 134 are arranged side by side, and only one mounting hole can be opened on the device body 110, which reduces the difficulty of processing, thereby helping to reduce the number of openings on the device body 110, and facilitating dust and water resistance of the device body 110. Taking the electronic device 100 as a mobile phone as an example, the first button 132 is a volume button, and the second button 134 is a power button, or the first button 132 is a volume increase button, and the second button 134 is a volume decrease button. Of course, the first button 132 and the second button 134 can also be other buttons, which are not listed here one by one.

[0037] Furthermore, the antenna 140 is arranged between the first button 132 and the second button 134. When the user holds the electronic device 100 in landscape orientation, the position of the antenna 140 is not blocked. Therefore, the antenna 140 can have good performance in a variety of usage scenarios, thereby improving the stability of the signal of the electronic device 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the layout of multiple antenna groups can be eliminated accordingly, thereby reducing the weight of the electronic device 100 and saving costs.

[0039] A sealing member may be filled between the antenna 140 and the first button 132 , and between the antenna 140 and the second button 134 , so as to improve the sealing performance of the electronic device 100 .

[0040] As a possible implementation, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the antenna 140 is recessed relative to the button assembly 130 toward the circuit board assembly 120 .

[0041] Specifically, the end of the antenna 140 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120 is closer to the circuit board assembly 120 than the end of the button assembly 130 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120. That is, the antenna 140 forms a recess at the button assembly 130, which makes it easier for the user to press the button assembly 130, reduces the possibility of corrosion of the antenna 140, and improves the service life of the antenna 140.

[0042] Among them, the end of the antenna 140 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120 is closer to the circuit board assembly 120 than the end of the first button 132 and the second button 134 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120, that is, the keycaps of the first button 132 and the second button 134 protrude from the side of the antenna 140 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120. Therefore, the possibility of the antenna 140 being touched can be better reduced, the possibility of the antenna 140 being corroded can be further reduced, and the service life of the antenna 140 can be improved.

[0043] As a possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the device body 110 includes: a frame 112 , a first button 132 , an antenna 140 and a second button 134 are arranged side by side on the frame 112 .

[0044] Specifically, the device body 110 includes a frame 112. Further, the device body 110 also includes a battery cover and a screen. The battery cover and the screen are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame 112. The first button, the antenna 140 and the second button 134 are arranged side by side on the frame 112, so that the first button 132, the antenna 140 and the second button 134 are all arranged on the side of the device body 110, reducing the possibility of the first button 132 and the second button 134 being accidentally touched, and can reduce the thickness of the device body 110.

[0045] Among them, 140 and frame 112 are bonded together.

[0046] Specifically, the antenna 140 and the frame body 112 are bonded together. The bonding connection method is simple and easy to implement, and has high connection strength and high sealing, thereby improving the waterproofness and dustproofness of the electronic device 100.

[0047] As a possible implementation, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the circuit board assembly 120 includes: a circuit board 122; a plurality of switches 126, which are arranged on the side of the circuit board 122 facing the key assembly 130, and are arranged corresponding to the first key 132 and the second key 134. When the key assembly 130 moves to the target position, the switch 126 can be triggered. Specifically, the circuit board assembly 120 includes the circuit board 122 and the plurality of switches 126, the switches 126 are electrically connected to the circuit board 122, and are arranged corresponding to the first key 132 and the second key 134, so that when the first key 132 is pressed and moved to the target position, at least one switch 126 can be triggered, so that the circuit board 122 performs corresponding processing. Similarly, when the second key 134 is pressed and moved to the target position, at least one switch 126 can be triggered, so that the circuit board 122 performs corresponding processing.

[0048] The switch 126 may be a pot switch, and when the first button 132 or the second button 134 is pressed, the switch 126 may be triggered, thereby realizing the corresponding function of the circuit board 122 .

[0049] Taking the electronic device 100 as a mobile phone as an example, the first button 132 is a volume button, the second button 134 is a power button, the first button 132 corresponds to two switches 126, one for increasing the volume and the other for decreasing the volume, and the power button corresponds to one switch 126.

[0050] As a possible implementation, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the switch 126 is electrically connected to the circuit board 122 via the conductive member 124 .

[0051] Specifically, the circuit board assembly 120 further includes a conductive member 124 connected between the circuit board 122 and the switch 126. The circuit board 122 is electrically connected to the switch 126 via the conductive member 124. There is a certain distance between the key assembly 130 and the circuit board 122. Therefore, by extending the conductive member 124, the switch 126 can be close to the key assembly 130, thereby facilitating the function of the key assembly 130. The conductive member 124 can be disposed on the side of the circuit board 122.

[0052] As a possible implementation, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the conductive member 124 is a metal conductive column.

[0053] Specifically, the conductive member 124 adopts a metal conductive column, which is a hard structure. Therefore, it can provide support for the switch 126, thereby reducing the distance between the switch 126 and the circuit board 122, and further reducing the distance between the side of the device body 110 where the antenna 140 is set and the circuit board 122, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the antenna 140 and the circuit board 122 and reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0054] Specifically, the conductive member 124 may be a copper conductive member, a copper alloy conductive member, a silver conductive member, a silver alloy conductive member, a gold conductive member, a gold alloy conductive member, an aluminum conductive member, an aluminum alloy conductive member, or the like.

[0055] Furthermore, in the related art, the switch is electrically connected to the circuit board through a flexible circuit board, while the present application uses a metal conductive column, which can reduce production costs.

[0056] The conductive member 124 is arranged to protrude from the circuit board 122 , so that a certain distance can be maintained between the circuit board 122 and the key assembly 130 , which facilitates the assembly of the electronic device 100 .

[0057] As a possible implementation, the conductive member 124 is stacked in the circuit board 122 .

[0058] Specifically, the conductive member 124 is stacked in the circuit board 122 to enhance the connection strength between the circuit board 122 and the conductive member 124 , wherein the process of stacking the conductive member 124 on the circuit board 122 is in the form of burying the conductive member 124 into the circuit board 122 , for example: firstly pressing the conductive material inside the circuit board 122 , and then adopting the process of a printed circuit board (cavity PCB) with a cavity structure to mill out the conductive member 124 by controlled depth milling.

[0059] Among them, taking the electronic device 100 as a mobile phone as an example, the first button 132 is a volume button, the second button 134 is a power button, and the first button 132 corresponds to two switches 126, which are respectively installed on different conductive parts 124, one for increasing the volume and the other for reducing the volume. The power button corresponds to one switch 126, which is installed on one conductive part 124.

[0060] As a possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board assembly 120 further includes: a conductive spring sheet 128 disposed on the circuit board 122 , and the antenna 140 is in contact with the conductive spring sheet 128 .

[0061] Specifically, the circuit board assembly 120 also includes a conductive spring sheet 128 disposed on the circuit board 122, and the antenna 140 and the conductive spring sheet 128 are electrically connected, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the antenna 140 and the circuit board 122, and adopting such a connection form facilitates the disassembly, maintenance, and installation and assembly of the electronic device 100.

[0062] The conductive spring 128 can be made of copper conductive spring, copper alloy conductive spring, silver conductive spring, silver alloy conductive spring, gold conductive spring, gold alloy conductive spring, aluminum conductive spring or aluminum alloy conductive spring, etc.

[0063] Among them, the number of conductive spring clips 128 can be multiple, and the antenna 140 can contact multiple conductive spring clips 128, so that the connection between the antenna 140 and the circuit board assembly 120 is more stable, the force on the antenna 140 is more uniform, and the occurrence of the antenna 140 tilting due to uneven force is reduced.

[0064] As a possible implementation, Figure 6 As shown, the length of the first side wall 142 of the antenna 140 is greater than the length of the second side wall 144 of the antenna 140 , and the first side wall 142 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 120 .

[0065] Specifically, the length of the first side wall 142 included in the antenna 140 is greater than the second side wall 144, so as to facilitate the single-sided electrical connection of the antenna 140 to the circuit board assembly 120, reduce material consumption, lower costs, and facilitate the wiring of the circuit board 122.

[0066] Among them, the antenna 140 may include a first side wall 142, a second side wall 144 and a connecting portion 146. The first side wall 142 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 120, and the length of the first side wall 142 is greater than that of the second side wall 144, so that the first side wall 142 can extend to one side of the circuit board assembly 120 to be electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 120. That is, the antenna 140 is a U-shaped antenna 140, so that the connecting portion 146 can be sealed on the mounting hole of the device body 110, which can improve the sealing performance of the electronic device 100.

[0067] For example: the first button 132 and the second button 134 have a certain width, therefore, the mounting hole opened on the frame 112 of the device body 110 also has a certain width, and the first button 132, the antenna 140 and the second button 134 have the same width, that is, the width of the mounting hole on the device body 110 can be more uniform, reducing the processing difficulty of the electronic device 100. Therefore, the connecting part 146 on the antenna 140 can block the mounting hole on the device body 110 to improve the sealing of the electronic device 100.

[0068] The first side wall 142 may be electrically connected to the conductive spring sheet 128 .

[0069] Specifically, the end of the connecting portion 146 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120 is closer to the circuit board assembly 120 than the end of the first button 132 and the second button 134 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120, that is, the connecting portion 146 is recessed into the first button 132 and the second button 134, and the keycaps of the first button 132 and the second button 134 protrude from the side of the connecting portion 146 facing away from the circuit board assembly 120, that is, the antenna 140 is located between the first button 132 and the second button 134 and forms a recess. Therefore, the possibility of the antenna 140 being touched can be better reduced, the possibility of the antenna 140 being corroded can be further reduced, and the service life of the antenna 140 can be improved.

[0070] That is, at least a portion of the connection portion 146 is located outside the device body 110 , so that the antenna 140 has better performance.

[0071] Furthermore, the first side wall 142 , the second side wall 144 and the connecting portion 146 are an integrated structure.

[0072] As a possible implementation, Figure 7 As shown, the first side wall 142 is provided with contacts 148 , and the contacts 148 are electrically connected to the circuit board 122 .

[0073] Specifically, a contact 148 is provided on the first side wall 142 , and the contact 148 is electrically connected to the circuit board 122 , thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection between the antenna 140 and the circuit board 122 , wherein the contact 148 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 122 via a conductive spring 128 .

[0074] As a possible implementation, Figure 7 As shown, the circuit board 122 and the frame 112 are fixed by screws 150 to fix the circuit board 122 and improve the reliability of the connection between the conductive spring 128 and the contact 148.

[0075] As a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a wearable device.
