[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be exchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally a category, and do not limit the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally represents that the front and rear associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0018] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a frame 100, a first antenna 10, a second antenna 20 and an adjusting member 30, the first antenna 10, the second antenna 20 and the adjusting member 30 are all arranged on the frame 100, the adjusting member 30 is movably connected with the frame 100, and the adjusting member 30 comprises an insulating part 32 and a conductive part 31.
[0019] When the first antenna 10 is in a working state, the conductive part 31 moves to a side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10; when the first antenna 10 is in a non-working state, the conductive part 31 moves to a side away from the first antenna 10.
[0020] In some embodiments, the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be a terminal or other devices except the terminal. For example, the electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a mobile internet device (MID), an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., and can also be a server, a network attached storage (NAS), a personal computer (PC), a television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this way.
[0021] For the convenience of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application is usually taken as a mobile phone for example.
[0022] It should be noted that the adjusting member 30 comprises the insulating part 32 and the conductive part 31, when the conductive part 31 moves to a side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10, the insulating part 32 moves to a side away from the first antenna 10; when the conductive part 31 moves to a side away from the first antenna 10, the insulating part 32 moves to a side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10.
[0023] In addition, if the conductive part 31 is not moved to the side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10, when the first antenna 10 radiates signals, the first antenna 10 will be coupled with the surrounding second antenna 20, so that the signals radiated by the first antenna 10 interfere with the second antenna 20, or when the second antenna 20 radiates signals, the second antenna 20 will be coupled with the first antenna 10, so that the signals radiated by the second antenna 20 interfere with the first antenna 10. In the embodiment of the application, by moving the conductive part 31 to the side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10, the conductive part 31 can form a floating metal close to the first antenna 10, which can destroy the coupling between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20, thereby improving the coupling degree between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20, and thereby improving the antenna performance of the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20.
[0024] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the application can deploy antennas of different frequencies or modes, and when the first antenna 10 is working, by adjusting the position of the conductive part 31 on the adjusting member 30, the conductive part 31 is moved to the side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10, so as to form a floating metal near the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20, which can destroy the coupling between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20, thereby improving the isolation degree between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20.
[0025] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The frame 100 includes a metal frame S1 and a back cover S2.
[0026] The radiator of the first antenna 10 and the radiator of the second antenna 20 are both arranged on the metal frame S1.
[0027] The adjusting member 30 is a camera decoration ring, and the camera decoration ring is rotationally connected to the back cover S2.
[0028] In some embodiments, the camera decoration ring is rotationally connected to the back cover S2 of the electronic device, which can be a rotatable ring structure, and the position of the conductive part 31 or the positions of the conductive part 31 and the insulating part 32 can be adjusted by rotating the camera decoration ring.
[0029] In the embodiment, the camera decoration ring on the electronic device can be reused to construct the adjusting member 30, and the structure of the electronic device can be simplified.
[0030] In some embodiments, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 can be antennas close to each other on the frame 100, for example, the second antenna 20 is an antenna located in the coupling range of the first antenna 10 in the working state, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the second antenna 20 can be located on the first and second sub-antennas 201 and 202 on both sides of the first antenna 10. Of course, other antennas can also be provided on the electronic device, such as Figure 1 As shown in the middle, the electronic device can also be provided with a third antenna 203, a fourth antenna 204, a fifth antenna 205, a sixth antenna 206, a seventh antenna 207, and an eighth antenna 208. At this time, since the third antenna 203, the fourth antenna 204, the fifth antenna 205, the sixth antenna 206, the seventh antenna 207, and the eighth antenna 208 are far away from the first antenna 10, when the first antenna 10 is working, the isolation between the first antenna 10 and the third antenna 203, the fourth antenna 204, the fifth antenna 205, the sixth antenna 206, the seventh antenna 207, and the eighth antenna 208 is high, so the interference between the first antenna 10 and the third antenna 203, the fourth antenna 204, the fifth antenna 205, the sixth antenna 206, the seventh antenna 207, and the eighth antenna 208 can be ignored.
[0031] As shown in the left side of the figure, Figure 1 As shown in the left side of the figure, Figure 2 As shown in the right side of the figure.
[0032] In some embodiments, the radiation power of the first antenna 10 is greater than the radiation power of the second antenna 20. At this time, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are antennas of different frequencies or different systems, and the radiation power of the first antenna 10 is greater than the radiation power of the second antenna 20.
[0033] For ease of illustration, in the embodiments of the present application, the first antenna 10 is usually taken as a satellite antenna, and the second antenna 20 is taken as an antenna other than the satellite antenna, such as a cellular antenna or a WiFi antenna, as an example for illustration.
[0034] In the related art, when the satellite antenna is working, if the satellite antenna is coupled with the cellular antenna or the WiFi antenna, the high-power radiation signal of the satellite antenna will be coupled to the cellular antenna or the WiFi antenna, and conduct high-power coupled current to the back-end radio frequency circuit of the cellular antenna or the WiFi antenna, causing damage to the back-end device of the cellular antenna or the WiFi antenna.
[0035] In the present embodiment, by moving the conductive part 31 to the side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10 when the first antenna 10 is in the working state, the coupling between the high-power antenna and the low-power antenna can be destroyed, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the back-end radio frequency device of the low-power antenna by high-power coupled current.
[0036] Of course, the first antenna 10 can also be other high-power antennas other than satellite antennas, such as high-power outdoor antennas, etc., and the second antenna 20 can also be other antennas other than cellular antennas, which do not constitute specific limitations here.
[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjusting member 30 is a ring structure, which can rotate in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction to adjust the position of the conductive part 31 and the insulating part 32.
[0038] Of course, the adjusting member 30 can also be other shapes, such as an adjusting member that reciprocates in a straight line direction, etc. For the convenience of description, the adjusting member 30 is taken as an example of a ring structure in the embodiments of the present application, which does not constitute specific limitations here.
[0039] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The second antenna 20 includes a second antenna radiator 21, a second radio frequency circuit 22, and an elastic connecting member 23;
[0040] The frame 100 has a receiving cavity, the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the elastic connecting member 23 are received in the receiving cavity, the adjusting member 30 communicates with the receiving cavity, and the insulating part 32 includes a protruding part 321 extending into the receiving cavity;
[0041] Wherein, when the first antenna 10 is in the working state, the protruding part 321 is located at a first position 101, and the protruding part at the first position 101 drives the elastic connecting member 23 to deform to disconnect the electrical connection between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22;
[0042] When the first antenna 10 is in the non-working state, the protruding part 321 is located at a second position 102, and the second position 102 is spaced apart from the elastic connecting member 23, and the elastic connecting member 23 is connected between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22 under the action of the restoring force.
[0043] In some embodiments, the second radio frequency circuit 22 is usually disposed on a circuit board 200, at this time, the fixed end of the elastic connecting member 23 is electrically connected with the second radio frequency circuit 22, which can be that the fixed end of the elastic connecting member 23 is fixed on the circuit board 200 on which the second radio frequency circuit 22 is disposed, and is in electrical contact with the second radio frequency circuit 22 on the circuit board 200.
[0044] In some embodiments, the free end of the elastic connecting piece 23 is arranged opposite to the second antenna radiator 21, and can be in abutment with the surface of the second antenna radiator 21. The elastic connecting piece 23 can be deformed under external force, so that the free end of the elastic connecting piece 23 is spaced apart from the second antenna radiator 21.
[0045] In some embodiments, the elastic connecting piece 23 can be a metal spring. The fixed end of the metal spring is fixed on the circuit board 200 on which the second radio frequency circuit 22 is disposed, so that the fixed end of the metal spring is electrically connected with the second radio frequency circuit 22. When the protruding part 321 is located at the second position 102, the free end of the metal spring can be in abutment with the second antenna radiator 21, so that the free end of the metal spring is electrically connected with the second antenna radiator 21. When the protruding part 321 is located at the first position 101, the metal spring is deformed under the pushing of the insulating part 32, so that the free end of the metal spring is not in contact with the second antenna radiator 21, i.e., the free end of the metal spring is disconnected from the second antenna radiator 21.
[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, Figure 3 When the protruding part 321 is located at the first position 101 shown by the solid line, the elastic connecting piece 23 disconnects the electrical connection between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22.
[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, Figure 3 When the protruding part 321 is located at the second position 102 shown by the dashed line, the elastic connecting piece 23 connects the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22.
[0048] For example, the protruding part 321 can be a plastic buckle, Figure 3 FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the protruding part 321 in the first position 101. At this time, the protruding part 321 can be inserted between the free end of the metal spring and the second antenna radiator 21, so that the free end of the metal spring is not in contact with the second antenna radiator 21.
[0049] It should be noted that when the adjusting piece 30 is rotated in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the protruding part 321 gradually separates from the metal spring and the second antenna radiator 21, so that the metal spring is in abutment with the second antenna radiator 21 under the restoring force, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22.
[0050] In this embodiment, the fixed end of the elastic connecting member 23 is on the circuit board 200 on which the second radio frequency circuit 22 is disposed, and the free end of the elastic connecting member 23 can be in electrical contact with or spaced apart from the second antenna radiator 21 by adjusting the protruding part 321, so as to realize the switching of the electrical connection relationship between the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21 by the position-adjustable protruding part 321.
[0051] It is worth mentioning that in other embodiments, the fixed end of the elastic connecting member 23 can be fixedly connected with the second antenna radiator 21, and the free end of the elastic connecting member 23 is arranged opposite to the electrical connection port of the second radio frequency circuit 22 on the circuit board 200. This way can also realize the switching of the electrical connection relationship between the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21 by the position-adjustable protruding part 321.
[0052] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the elastic connecting member 23 is connected with only one of the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21, and provides an elastic force to the one of the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21 towards the other of the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21. At this time, when the protruding part 321 is in the second position 102, the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21 are in electrical contact under the action of the elastic connecting member 23; when the protruding part 321 is in the first position 101, the second radio frequency circuit 22 and the second antenna radiator 21 are spaced apart from each other based on the force of the protruding part 321 on the elastic connecting member 23.
[0053] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 30 can be a manual adjusting member or an automatic adjusting member.
[0054] For example, when the adjusting member 30 is a manual adjusting member, the manual operation of the adjusting member 30 by the user realizes the adjustment of the conductive part 31 to the side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10, and the adjustment of the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the first position 101; or the manual operation of the adjusting member 30 by the user realizes the adjustment of the conductive part 31 to the side away from the first antenna 10, and the adjustment of the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the second position 102.
[0055] For example, when the adjusting member 30 is an automatic adjusting member, a driving member such as a driving motor or an electromagnetic driving assembly can be arranged to drive the adjusting member 30. When the first antenna 10 is detected to be working, the driving member is controlled to drive the adjusting member 30 to adjust the conductive part 31 to the side close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10, and the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 is also adjusted to the first position 101. When the first antenna 10 is detected to be not working, the driving member is controlled to drive the adjusting member 30 to adjust the conductive part 31 to the side away from the first antenna 10, and the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 is also adjusted to the second position 102.
[0056] For the convenience of description, the adjusting member 30 is taken as an example of a manual adjusting member in the embodiments of the present application.
[0057] In the present embodiment, when the electrical connection between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22 is disconnected, the second antenna radiator 21 can be regarded as a floating metal. When the first antenna 10 is working, the coupling effect between the floating metal and the first antenna radiator 11 can be reduced. Even if the second antenna radiator 21 is coupled with the first antenna radiator 11, the high-power signal coupled on the second antenna radiator 21 cannot be transmitted to the second radio frequency circuit 22 because the electrical connection between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22 is disconnected, so that the devices in the second radio frequency circuit 22 can be protected from being damaged by the high-power signal.
[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, when the first antenna 10 is working, the adjusting member 30 adjusts the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the first position 101, and adjusts the conductive part 31 to the first region A close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10. In this way, the conductive part 31 can also constitute a coupling branch of the first antenna 10, so as to enhance the antenna performance of the first antenna 10. Figure 1 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, when the first antenna 10 is working, the adjusting member 30 adjusts the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the first position 101, and adjusts the conductive part 31 to the first region A close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10. In this way, the conductive part 31 can also constitute a coupling branch of the first antenna 10, so as to enhance the antenna performance of the first antenna 10.
[0059] Figure 2 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, when the first antenna 10 is working, the adjusting member 30 adjusts the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the first position 101, and adjusts the conductive part 31 to the first region A close to the first antenna 10 and opposite to the first antenna 10. In this way, the conductive part 31 can also constitute a coupling branch of the first antenna 10, so as to enhance the antenna performance of the first antenna 10.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 1, when the first antenna 10 is not working, the adjusting member 30 adjusts the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the second position 102, and adjusts the conductive part 31 to the second region B away from the first antenna 10. In this way, the conductive part 31 is away from the first antenna 10, so as to not affect the antenna performance of the first antenna 10 and the nearby second antenna 20. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first antenna 10 is a satellite antenna arranged at the top left side of the electronic device, and the second antenna 20 can include multiple other type antennas close to the satellite antenna, such as the first sub-antenna 201 at the top right side of the electronic device, the second sub-antenna 202 at the top of the left side of the electronic device, the third antenna 203 at the middle of the left side of the electronic device, and the seventh antenna 207 at the right side of the electronic device. At this time, the first region A can be the upper left corner region of the adjusting member 30, and the second region B can be the bottom region of the adjusting member 30.
[0061] It is worth mentioning that in some embodiments, the number of the second antennas 20 can be multiple, and part of the radiators of the second antennas 20 can be close to the adjusting member 30, and the other part of the radiators of the second antennas 20 can be far away from the adjusting member 30, for example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fourth antenna 204 at the bottom of the left side of the electronic device, the fifth antenna 205 and the sixth antenna 206 at the bottom of the electronic device, and the eighth antenna 208 at the bottom of the right side of the electronic device are far away from the adjusting member 30, so that no matter how the adjusting member 30 is rotated, the conductive part 31 on the adjusting member 30 will not affect the radiation performance of the antenna radiators.
[0062] In some embodiments, the conductive part 31 can be exposed on the surface of the adjusting member 30, so that the user can identify the position of the conductive part 31 on the adjusting member 30 from the outside, so as to more targetedly adjust the conductive part 31 to the first region A or the second region B.
[0063] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 work in time division, and when the first antenna works, the isolation between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 is realized by cutting off the radiators of the second antenna 20 and the rear-end radio frequency circuit. Even if the distance between the first antenna radiator 11 and the second antenna radiator 21 is close, the isolation requirement between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 can also be met, so as to save the layout space of the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20.
[0064] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The second radio frequency circuit 22 includes:
[0065] a first radio frequency device 221 and a first switch 222;
[0066] The first end of the first switch 222 is used for electrically connecting with the second antenna radiator 21, the second end of the first switch 222 is electrically connected with the first radio frequency device 221, and the third end of the first switch 222 is grounded;
[0067] When the first antenna 10 is in working condition, the first terminal of the first switch 222 is connected to the third terminal of the first switch 222.
[0068] When the first antenna 10 is in a non-operating state, the first terminal of the first switch 222 is connected to the second terminal of the first switch 222.
[0069] In some implementations, the third terminal of the first switch 222 can be directly grounded, or grounded through other electrical devices, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the third terminal of the first switch 222 is grounded through a 50Ω resistor R1, which reduces the grounding current through the resistor R1.
[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the first antenna 10 includes a first antenna radiator 11 and a first radio frequency circuit 12.
[0071] It should be noted that when the first terminal of the first switch 222 is connected to the third terminal of the first switch 222, the first terminal of the first switch 222 is not connected to the second terminal of the first switch 222; when the first terminal of the first switch 222 is connected to the second terminal of the first switch 222, the first terminal of the first switch 222 is not connected to the third terminal of the first switch 222.
[0072] For example, the first switch 222 is a single-pole double-throw switch, which includes one stationary terminal and two moving terminals. In this case, the first terminal of the first switch 222 is the stationary terminal of the single-pole double-throw switch, and the second and third terminals of the first switch 222 are the two moving terminals of the single-pole double-throw switch, respectively.
[0073] In some implementations, the first radio frequency device 221 may include any radio frequency device in the second radio frequency circuit 22, or a radio frequency device in the second radio frequency circuit 22 with low power tolerance, such as a tuner.
[0074] In this embodiment, when the first antenna 10 is working, the first end of the first switch 222 is connected to the third end of the first switch 222, so that the port in the second radio frequency circuit 22 used to connect to the second antenna radiator 21 is grounded through the first switch 222. This prevents the second antenna radiator 21 from transmitting a high-power signal to the first radio frequency device 221, thereby protecting the first radio frequency device 221 from the impact of high-power signals and extending the service life of the first radio frequency device 221.
[0075] In some implementations, such as Figure 4As shown, the second antenna 20 can include a main antenna 211 and a back ground antenna 212, wherein the main antenna 211 is electrically connected with a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) 300 through a second radio frequency circuit 22, and the back ground antenna 212 is grounded through a back ground circuit 24. At this time, if the high power signal coupled to the first antenna 10 is also coupled to the back ground antenna 212, it can also cause the radio frequency devices in the back ground circuit 24 to be damaged.
[0076] In order to avoid the radio frequency devices in the back ground circuit 24 from being damaged, a resilient connecting member can be arranged between the back ground circuit 24 and the back ground antenna 212 in a similar way as the second radio frequency circuit 22, and the electric connection relationship between the back ground circuit 24 and the back ground antenna 212 can be switched by the protruding part 321 of the insulating part 32 on the adjusting member 30.
[0077] Alternatively, a switching switch can also be arranged in the back ground circuit 24 in a similar way as the second radio frequency circuit 22, so that when the first antenna 10 is working, the back ground antenna 212 is grounded by the switching switch, and when the first antenna 10 is not working, the back ground antenna 212 is conducted with the radio frequency devices in the back ground circuit 24 by the switching switch.
[0078] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The second antenna 20 further includes a back ground circuit 24 and a back ground antenna 212;
[0079] The back ground circuit 24 includes a second radio frequency device 241 and a second switch 242;

[0081] In the case that the first antenna 10 is in the working state, the first end of the second switch 242 is conducted with the third end of the second switch 242;
[0082] In the case that the first antenna 10 is in the non-working state, the first end of the second switch 242 is conducted with the second end of the second switch 242.
[0083] In some embodiments, the second radio frequency device 241 can be any radio frequency device in the back ground circuit 24, or a radio frequency device with a lower power tolerance in the back ground circuit 24, such as a tuner.
[0084] In the embodiment, when the first antenna 10 is working, the first end of the second switch 242 is connected with the third end of the second switch 242, so that the port for connecting with the back-to-ground antenna 212 in the back-to-ground circuit 24 is grounded through the second switch 242, so that the back-to-ground antenna 212 cannot transmit the high-power signal even if the high-power signal is coupled, so as to protect the second radio frequency device 241 from the high-power signal, thereby prolonging the service life of the second radio frequency device 241.
[0085] In some embodiments, the insulating part 32 can be fixed to the inner surface of the camera decoration ring facing the inside of the electronic device, and the conductive part 31 can be exposed to the surface of the electronic device.
[0086] In this way, the user can determine the position of the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 by observing the position of the conductive part 31, such as when the conductive part 31 is located in the first area A, it can be determined that the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 is located in the first position 101; when the conductive part 31 is located in the second area B, it can be determined that the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 is located in the second position 102.
[0087] In some embodiments, the shell of the electronic device located around the periphery of the camera decoration ring can be provided with an identification of the first area A and / or the second area B, so that the user can determine that the conductive part 31 moves to the first area A when observing that the conductive part 31 is aligned with the identification of the first area A, and determine that the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 is located in the first position 101; or the user can determine that the conductive part 31 moves to the second area B when observing that the conductive part 31 is aligned with the identification of the second area B, and determine that the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 is located in the second position 102.
[0088] In the embodiment, the camera decoration ring on the electronic device can be reused to construct the adjusting part 30, which can simplify the structure of the electronic device.
[0089] In some embodiments, the first antenna 10 is a satellite antenna.
[0090] In the embodiment, when satellite communication is based on, the high-power signal transmitted by the satellite can be received by the satellite antenna, and can also be received by other type antennas. By rotating the adjusting part 30 to move the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the first position 101 to cut off the radio frequency path of the other type antennas, the high-power signal transmitted by the satellite can be avoided to damage the radio frequency devices in the radio frequency circuit of the other type antennas; and by rotating the conductive part 31 on the adjusting part 30 to the first area A, the satellite communication performance of the electronic device can also be improved.
[0091] In some embodiments, the first radio frequency circuit 12 and the second radio frequency circuit 22 are located on a mainboard of the electronic device, and the fixed end of the elastic connecting member 23 is fixed to the mainboard and electrically connected to the second radio frequency circuit 22.
[0092] In some embodiments, the first antenna 10 is a satellite antenna, which is arranged on the top of the electronic device. At this time, the adjusting member 30 can be arranged on the upper half of the rear cover of the electronic device, and the adjusting member 30 can be arranged in a stacked manner with the mainboard (i.e., the upper mainboard) inside the electronic device. In this way, the first radio frequency circuit 12 and the second radio frequency circuit 22 can be arranged on the upper mainboard, so that the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 can be moved to the free end of the elastic connecting member 23 and the second antenna radiator 21, or be arranged in a spaced manner with the elastic connecting member 23 and the second antenna radiator 21, so as to switch the electrical connection relationship between the second antenna radiator 21 and the second radio frequency circuit 22.
[0093] In some embodiments, the electronic device can further include a controller, such as a control element in a processor or an RFIC inside the electronic device, a first end of the controller is electrically connected to the control end of the first switch 222 and / or the control end of the second switch 242, and a second end of the controller is electrically connected to the adjusting member 30.
[0094] In some embodiments, when the controller detects that the adjusting member 30 adjusts the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the first position 101, or detects that the adjusting member 30 adjusts the conductive part 31 to the first region A, the controller controls the first end of the first switch 222 and the third end of the first switch 222 to be conductive, and / or controls the first end of the second switch 242 and the third end of the second switch 242 to be conductive.
[0095] In some embodiments, when the controller detects that the adjusting member 30 adjusts the protruding part 321 on the insulating part 32 to the second position 102, or detects that the adjusting member 30 adjusts the conductive part 31 to the second region B, the controller controls the first end of the first switch 222 and the second end of the first switch 222 to be conductive, and / or controls the first end of the second switch 242 and the second end of the second switch 242 to be conductive.
[0096] In some embodiments, the user can change the position of the insulating part 32 or the conductive part 31 by operating the adjusting member 30, and the controller inside the electronic device can control the switching state of the first switch 222 and / or the second switch 242 according to the position of the insulating part 32 or the conductive part 31, so as to disconnect the main antenna radiator in the second antenna 20 from the first radio frequency device 221 and / or disconnect the back-to-ground antenna radiator in the second antenna 20 from the second radio frequency device 241 when the first antenna 10 is working, thereby strengthening the protection of the first radio frequency device 221 and / or the second radio frequency device 241.
[0097] The embodiment of the present application further provides an antenna control method, which can be applied to the electronic device provided by the foregoing embodiment of the present application.
[0098] As shown in Figure 5 The method comprises the following steps.
[0099] In step 501, a first input is acquired, and it is detected whether the conductive part is located on a side close to the first antenna, and the first input is used to start the radiation function of the first antenna.
[0100] In some embodiments, taking the first antenna as a satellite antenna for example, the first input can be any operation of the user starting the satellite communication function, or system input information used to start the satellite communication function.
[0101] In step 502, when the conductive part is located on a side away from the first antenna, the adjusting member is controlled to move so that the conductive part is located on a side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna.
[0102] In some embodiments, taking the first antenna as a satellite antenna for example, starting the radiation function of the first antenna can be to control the RFIC to receive and / or send satellite communication signals through the first antenna radiator.
[0103] In some embodiments, when the adjusting member has a driving member, after the first input is detected, if it is detected that the conductive part is located on the second region, i.e., the side away from the first antenna, the driving member is controlled to drive the adjusting member to adjust the conductive part on the adjusting member to the first region, i.e., the side close to the first antenna, so that the conductive part is opposite to the first antenna.
[0104] Optionally, when the conductive part is adjusted to the first region, the protruding part on the insulating member can also be adjusted to the first position at the same time.
[0105] In other embodiments, the step of controlling the adjusting member to move so that the conductive part is located on a side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna when the conductive part is located on a side away from the first antenna comprises the following steps.
[0106] In the step of controlling the adjusting member to move so that the conductive part is located on a side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna when the conductive part is located on a side away from the first antenna, a first prompt information is output, wherein the first prompt information is used to prompt the user to adjust the adjusting member so that the conductive part is located on a side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna.
[0107] For example, in the case of detecting that the conductive part is located on the second region, the first prompt information is output, wherein the first prompt information is used to prompt the conductive part to be adjusted to the first region.
[0108] In some embodiments, the first prompt information can be output by displaying text or pictures on the display screen of the electronic device, such as displaying a picture on the display screen for guiding the user to adjust the conductive part to the first region.
[0109] In some embodiments, the first prompt information can be output by outputting voice prompts through a speaker on the electronic device, such as voice broadcasting "Please rotate the camera decoration ring to align the red conductive part with the first region identifier".
[0110] In the present embodiment, the first prompt information is used to prompt the user to adjust the adjustment member to adjust the conductive part to the first region.
[0111] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:
[0112] When the conductive part is located on the side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna, the radiation function of the first antenna is turned on.
[0113] In the present embodiment, the action of turning on the radiation function of the first antenna is only performed when it is ensured that the conductive part is located on the side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna, which can effectively reduce the risk of damaging the low-power antenna rear-end radio frequency device due to the coupling of high-power current when the conductive part is not moved to the first region.
[0114] As an optional embodiment, when the electronic device comprises a first switch and / or a second switch, the method further comprises at least one of the following:
[0115] When it is determined that the protrusion on the insulating part is located at the first position and / or the conductive part is located on the side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna, the first end of the first switch is controlled to be conductive with the third end of the first switch;
[0116] When it is determined that the protrusion on the insulating part is located at the second position and / or the conductive part is located on the side away from the first antenna, the first end of the first switch is controlled to be conductive with the second end of the first switch;
[0117] When it is determined that the protrusion on the insulating part is located at the first position and / or the conductive part is located on the side close to the first antenna and opposite to the first antenna, the first end of the second switch is controlled to be conductive with the third end of the second switch;
[0118] In a case where it is determined that the protrusion on the insulating portion is located at the second position and / or the conductive portion is located on a side away from the first antenna, the first end of the second switch is controlled to be conductive with the second end of the second switch.
[0119] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The switch state of the first switch 222 and / or the second switch 242 can be controlled according to the position of the protrusion 321 on the insulating portion 32 and / or the conductive portion 31, so as to achieve the following effects: when the first antenna 10 is working, the main antenna radiator in the second antenna 20 is disconnected from the first radio frequency device 221, and / or the ground return antenna radiator in the second antenna 20 is disconnected from the second radio frequency device 241, thereby enhancing the protection of the first radio frequency device 221 and / or the second radio frequency device 241.
[0120] It is worth mentioning that after detecting the first input, the user can not immediately adjust the protrusion on the insulating portion to be located at the first position and / or adjust the conductive portion to be located on a side close to and opposite to the first antenna according to the prompt of the first prompt information. At this time, the position of the protrusion on the insulating portion and / or the conductive portion can be periodically detected, and only when it is detected that the protrusion on the insulating portion is located at the first position and / or the conductive portion is located on a side close to and opposite to the first antenna, the operation of grounding the first radio frequency device and / or the second radio frequency device and enabling the radiation function of the first antenna is performed. If the protrusion on the insulating portion is not detected to be located at the first position and / or the conductive portion is not detected to be located on a side close to and opposite to the first antenna after a long interval, the first input can be rejected, or a second prompt information can be output to prompt that the radiation function of the first antenna cannot be enabled.
[0121] For example, as shown in Figure 6 The antenna control method in the embodiment of the present application can include the following steps:
[0122] Step 601, detecting a first input.
[0123] Step 602, determining whether the conductive portion is located in the first region.
[0124] In this step, if it is determined that the conductive portion is located in the first region, step 603 is performed; otherwise, step 605 is performed.
[0125] Step 603, controlling the first switch to ground the main antenna radiator in the second antenna, and / or controlling the second switch to ground the ground return antenna radiator in the second antenna.
[0126] Step 604, enabling the radiation function of the first antenna.
[0127] Step 605, not opening the radiation function of the first antenna.
[0128] Step 606, outputting the first prompt information.
