Electronic components and electronic equipment

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on September 7, 2022, with application number 202211090616.3 and application name “Electronic Components and Electronic Devices”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application.

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to an electronic component and an electronic device.

[0003] With the continuous development of communication technology, the wireless performance of electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers has received more and more attention. As a result, the application of antenna technology in electronic devices has become more and more extensive, and the demand has also increased.

[0004] Taking a mobile phone as an example, different antenna structures are generally designed at different spatial positions on the mobile phone. Specifically, different resonant antennas can be arranged at different positions in the mobile phone space according to the actual scene requirements to meet the antenna requirements in different scenes. In the related art, when the antenna is set in the mobile phone, it is mainly set on the shell or middle frame of the mobile phone. For example, on electronic devices with metal frames and glass battery cover ID, the traditional design of the antenna is generally to open a gap on the metal frame to form a multi-segment antenna, and a feeding point is set on the circuit board of the mobile phone. The feeding point is electrically connected to the antenna to realize the feeding of the antenna.

[0005] However, in the above design, spatial interference is likely to occur between the antennas, the gaps between two adjacent antennas, and the feeding points, resulting in adverse effects on the feeding of the antennas.

[0006]

[0007] The embodiments of the present application provide an electronic component and an electronic device, which can avoid spatial interference between antennas, gaps between two adjacent antennas, and feeding points, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the feeding of the antennas.

[0008] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic component, comprising at least: a circuit board, an electronic device, and a metal frame; at least one gap is formed on the metal frame so that the metal frame forms at least two antennas; the circuit board and the electronic device are located on one side of the metal frame, and there are gaps between the metal frame and the circuit board and the electronic device;

[0009] The at least two antennas at least include: a first antenna and a second antenna, the orthographic projection of the electronic device on the metal frame covers the first antenna, the gap between the first antenna and the second antenna, and a part of the second antenna; the orthographic projection of the circuit board on the metal frame covers a part of the second antenna;

[0010] It also includes: a first extension member; one end of the first extension member is connected to an end of the first antenna close to the second antenna, the other end of the first extension member extends into the gap and is electrically connected to the first feeding point on the circuit board; the second antenna is electrically connected to the second feeding point on the circuit board.

[0011] An electronic component provided in an embodiment of the present application has at least one gap formed on a metal frame, so that at least two antennas are formed on the metal frame.

The orthographic projection of the circuit board on the metal frame covers part of the second antenna. At this time, the second antenna is opposite to the circuit board, and the second antenna is electrically connected to the second feeding point on the circuit board. By setting a first extension member, one end of the first extension member is connected to an end of the first antenna close to the second antenna, and the other end of the first extension member extends into the gap and is electrically connected to the first feeding point on the circuit board. In this way, spatial interference between the first antenna, the second antenna, the gap between the first antenna and the second antenna, and the first feeding point and the second feeding point on the circuit board can be avoided, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the feeding of the first antenna and the second antenna.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, there is a distance between a surface of the second antenna facing the electronic device and the first extending member.

[0013] By providing a gap between the side of the second metal frame facing the electronic device and the first extension piece, position interference between the second metal frame and the first extension piece can be avoided. Since the feeding connection between the first antenna and the first feeding point on the circuit board is achieved through the first extension piece, adverse effects on the feeding connection between the first antenna and the first feeding point on the circuit board can be avoided.

In some other embodiments, the power management module and the charging management module can also be set in the same device.

[0080] When the mobile phone is a flat screen mobile phone, the display screen 210 may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen or a liquid crystal display (LCD) display screen.

The shell can be a shell formed by the frame 222 and the shell 250 being integrated (Unibody), so that the circuit board 230 and the battery 240 are located in the space enclosed by the metal middle plate 221 and the shell.

[0085] In a possible implementation, the housing 250 may also be provided with a second opening 251 to serve as a light-transmitting area for the rear camera module 270. Similarly, the first opening 211 on the display screen 210 may also serve as a light-transmitting area for the front camera module 260.

[0086] In addition, in some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may also be a folding screen electronic device.

The length, width, and thickness in the embodiment of the present application are only for the convenience of description and do not mean any limitation on the size. For example, the length can be greater than, equal to, or less than the width.

[0090] It is understandable that the structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device.

[0092] It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 200. In other embodiments of the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 200 may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine some components, or split some components, or arrange the components differently. The components shown in the figure may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0093] In order to realize the communication function of electronic devices, antennas can be set on electronic devices to transmit and receive signals through the antennas. The antenna performance level of electronic devices in actual use scenarios is directly related to the actual user experience. At present, most electronic devices use industrial design (ID) with metal frames and glass shells.

[0094] Taking the mobile phone as an example of an electronic device, different antenna structures are generally designed at different spatial positions on the mobile phone. Specifically, different resonant antennas can be arranged at different positions in the mobile phone space according to the actual scene requirements to meet the antenna requirements in different scenes. In the related art, when the antenna is set in the mobile phone, it is mainly set on the shell or middle frame of the mobile phone. For example, on electronic devices with metal frames and glass battery cover ID, the traditional design of the antenna is generally to open a gap on the metal frame to form a multi-section antenna, and a feeding point is set on the circuit board of the mobile phone. The feeding point is electrically connected to the antenna to realize the feeding of the antenna. However, in the above design scheme, spatial interference is prone to occur between the antenna, the gap between two adjacent antennas, and the feeding point, which causes adverse effects on the feeding of the antenna.

[0095] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a new electronic component and electronic device for solving the above technical problems. In the electronic component, at least two antennas are formed on the metal frame, the circuit board and the electronic device are located on one side of the metal frame, and there is a gap 100b between the metal frame and the circuit board and the electronic device. The orthographic projection of the electronic device on the metal frame covers the first antenna, the gap between the first antenna and the second antenna, and part of the second antenna, and the orthographic projection of the circuit board on the metal frame covers part of the second antenna. One end of the first extension piece is connected to one end of the first antenna close to the second antenna, and the other end of the first extension piece extends into the gap 100b and is electrically connected to the first feeding point on the circuit board, and the second antenna is electrically connected to the second feeding point on the circuit board. In this way, spatial interference between the antenna, the gap between two adjacent antennas, and the feeding points can be avoided, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the feeding of the first antenna and the second antenna, and thus ensuring the user's use effect.

[0096] It should be noted that the electronic device provided in this application is suitable for using any one or more of the following communication technologies, for example, long term evolution (LTE) communication technology, Wi-Fi communication technology, 5G communication technology, SUB-6G communication technology, Multi-in Multi-out (MIMO) communication technology and other future communication technologies. Among them, MIMO communication technology refers to an antenna system that uses multiple antennas at both the transmitting and receiving ends to form multiple channels between the transmitting and receiving ends, and has extremely high spectrum utilization efficiency.

[0097] The specific structure of the electronic component and the electronic device having the electronic component is introduced in detail below in conjunction with specific drawings (the following embodiments do not highlight the requirements of the communication network, but only illustrate the working characteristics of the antenna in the electronic device in terms of frequency).

[0098] The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 200. Specifically, the electronic device 200 may include at least: a display screen 210, a housing 250, and an electronic component, wherein the display screen 210 and the housing 250 are respectively located on both sides of the electronic component. Specifically, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the electronic component may include at least: a circuit board 230, an electronic device 280, and a metal frame 100, wherein at least one slit 100a is provided on the metal frame 100, so that the metal frame 100 forms at least two antennas (such as the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120 in FIG. 5 ).

[0099] In other words, the antenna is a slot antenna formed by opening a slot 100a on the metal frame 100. Exemplarily, the slot antenna may include a first part, a second part, and a third part separated by the slot 100a, wherein non-conductive material may be filled between the first part and the second part, between the second part and the third part, and between the third part and the first part.

[0100] In actual application, the position of the slot 100a can be changed as needed, and each slot 100a can be filled with a non-conductive material (such as plastic) to ensure the integrity of the appearance of the metal frame 100. By flexibly setting the opening position of the slot 100a on the metal frame 100, while ensuring the antenna radiation performance, the appearance design of different requirements can be achieved, which is conducive to improving the product quality of the electronic device 200.

[0101] In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 , the circuit board 230 and the electronic device 280 are located on one side of the metal frame 100 , and there is a gap 100 b between the metal frame 100 and the circuit board 230 and the electronic device 280 .

[0102] 6 , the at least two antennas may include at least: a first antenna 110 and a second antenna 120, wherein the orthographic projection of the electronic device 280 on the metal frame 100 may cover the first antenna 110, the gap 100a between the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120, and a portion of the second antenna 120, and the orthographic projection of the circuit board 230 on the metal frame 100 may cover a portion of the second antenna 120,

[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 7 , the electronic component may further include: a first extension member 130, wherein one end of the first extension member 130 is connected to one end of the first antenna 110 close to the second antenna 120, and the other end of the first extension member 130 extends into a gap 100b between the metal frame 100 and the circuit board 230 and the electronic device 280, and the other end of the first extension member 130 is electrically connected to a first feeding point (not shown in the figure) on the circuit board 230, and the second antenna 120 is electrically connected to a second feeding point (not shown in the figure) on the circuit board 230.

[0104] In the electronic component, at least one gap 100a is provided on the metal frame 100, so that at least two antennas are formed on the metal frame 100. Taking two antennas as an example, the orthographic projection of the electronic device 280 on the metal frame 100 covers the first antenna 110, the gap 100a between the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120, and part of the second antenna 120, and the orthographic projection of the circuit board 230 on the metal frame 100 covers part of the second antenna 120.

[0105] At this time, the second antenna 120 is opposite to the circuit board 230, and the second antenna 120 is electrically connected to the second feeding point on the circuit board 230. By setting the first extension member 130, one end of the first extension member 130 is connected to the end of the first antenna 110 close to the second antenna 120, and the other end of the first extension member 130 extends into the gap 100b and is electrically connected to the first feeding point on the circuit board 230. In this way, spatial interference between the first antenna 110, the second antenna 120, the gap 100a between the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120, and the first feeding point and the second feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be avoided, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the feeding of the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120.

[0106] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the first feeding point and the second feeding point may be metal springs, probes, or conductive cables, etc., so that the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120 may be fed respectively by the metal springs, probes, or conductive cables, etc. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific formation method of the first feeding point and the second feeding point, nor is it limited to the above examples, as long as the feeding connection function can be achieved.

[0107] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of first feeding points corresponding to the first antenna 110 may be one, two, three or more, that is, the first antenna 110 may be fed through one first feeding point, or the first antenna 110 may be fed through two first feeding points at the same time, or the first antenna 110 may be fed through three first feeding points at the same time, or the first antenna 110 may be fed through more first feeding points at the same time, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0108] Similarly, the number of second feeding points corresponding to the second antenna 120 may be one, two, three or more, that is, the second antenna 120 may be fed through one second feeding point, or the second antenna 120 may be fed through two second feeding points at the same time, or the second antenna 120 may be fed through three second feeding points at the same time, or the second antenna 120 may be fed through more second feeding points at the same time, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0109] In addition, it is understood that in some embodiments, the first feeding point and the second feeding point may not interfere with each other at their respective locations on the circuit board 230. For example, the first feeding point and the second feeding point may be arranged in sequence along the outer edge of the circuit board 230.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, a distance 130 a may be formed between a surface of the second antenna 120 facing the electronic device 280 and the first extension member 130 (see FIG. 7 ).

[0111] By having a spacing 130a between the side of the second metal frame 100 facing the electronic device 280 and the first extension piece 130, position interference between the second metal frame 100 and the first extension piece 130 can be avoided. Since the feeding connection between the first antenna 110 and the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 is achieved through the first extension piece 130, adverse effects on the feeding connection between the first antenna 110 and the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be avoided.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the spacing 130a between the side of the second antenna 120 facing the electronic device 280 and the first extension member 130 may be 0.1 mm-2 mm. For example, the spacing 130a between the side of the second antenna 120 facing the electronic device 280 and the first extension member 130 may be 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm or 2 mm, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0113] It should be noted here that the numerical values ​​and numerical ranges involved in this application are approximate values. Due to the influence of the manufacturing process, there may be a certain range of errors, which can be considered negligible by those skilled in the art.

[0114] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view at AA of Fig. 6, Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view at BB of Fig. 6, Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view at CC of Fig. 6, and Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view at DD of Fig. 6. According to Figs. 8 to 11, the first extension member 130 is connected to the first antenna 110 at BB, and there is a spacing 130a between the first extension member 130 and the second antenna 120 at CC and DD.

[0115] In addition, referring to FIG. 7 , in an embodiment of the present application, the metal frame 100 may include: a first portion 140 and a second portion 150 , wherein one end of the second portion 150 is connected to the first portion 140 , and the other end of the second portion 150 is bent toward the electronic device 280 .

[0116] Moreover, the second part 150 can be staggered with the first extension piece 130 in the first direction L1 (see Figure 12), or the second part 150 can at least partially overlap with the first extension piece 130 in the first direction L1 (see Figure 13), wherein the first direction L1 can be the thickness direction of the electronic device 200.

[0117] The metal frame 100 includes a first part 140 and a second part 150. The second part 150 of the metal frame 100 and the first extension piece 130 are staggered with each other in the thickness direction of the electronic device 200, or the second part 150 of the metal frame 100 and the first extension piece 130 at least partially overlap in the thickness direction of the electronic device 200, both of which can ensure that position interference between the second metal frame 100 and the first extension piece 130 is avoided, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the feeding connection between the first antenna 110 and the first feeding point on the circuit board 230.

[0118] As shown in Figure 7, in an embodiment of the present application, the first extension member 130 may include: a first extension portion 131 and a second extension portion 132 connected to the first extension portion 131, wherein one end of the first extension portion 131 is connected to the first antenna 110, and the other end of the first extension portion 131 is connected to one end of the second extension portion 132 across the gap 100a between the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120, and the other end of the second extension portion 132 is electrically connected to the first feeding point.

[0119] By designing the first extension piece 130 to include a first extension portion 131 and a second extension portion 132, one end of the first extension portion 131 is connected to the first antenna 110, the other end of the first extension portion 131 is connected to one end of the second extension portion 132, and the other end of the second extension portion 132 is electrically connected to the first feeding point on the circuit board 230. In this way, a feeding connection between the first antenna 110 and the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be achieved, so that the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 can feed the first antenna 110 well.

[0120] In a possible implementation, the projection of the first extension portion 131 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction L1 is located in the first antenna 110 and in the gap 100a between the first antenna 110 and the second antenna 120, and the projection of the second extension portion 132 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction L1 is located on the second antenna 120. In this way, the first extension portion 131 and the second extension portion 132 will not be stacked in the first direction L1 (i.e., the thickness direction of the electronic device 200), and the thickness of the electronic device 200 will not be increased, thereby saving space in the electronic device 200.

[0121] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first direction L1 (ie, the thickness direction of the electronic device 200 ) is the z direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction L1 is the x direction or the y direction.

[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 , the electronic component may further include: a first electrical connector 160, wherein the first extension member 130 may be electrically connected to the first feeding point through the first electrical connector 160. Specifically, one end of the first electrical connector 160 is connected to the first extension member 130, and the other end of the first electrical connector 160 is electrically connected to the first feeding point on the circuit board 230, so that the electrical connection between the first extension member 130 and the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be achieved, and then the electrical connection between the first antenna 110 and the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be achieved, so that the first feeding point on the circuit board 230 can feed the first antenna 110 well.

[0123] Similarly, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 , the electronic component may further include: a second electrical connector 170, wherein the second antenna 120 may be electrically connected to the second feeding point through the second electrical connector 170. Specifically, one end of the second electrical connector 170 is connected to the second antenna 120, and the other end of the second electrical connector 170 is electrically connected to the second feeding point on the circuit board 230, so that the electrical connection between the second antenna 120 and the second feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be achieved, so that the second feeding point on the circuit board 230 can feed the second antenna 120 well.

[0124] In addition, based on the above embodiment, the at least two antennas may further include: a third antenna (not shown in the figure), and the electronic component may further include: a second extension member (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the configuration of the third antenna and the connection of the second extension member may include but are not limited to the following two possible implementations:

[0125] One possible implementation is: the second antenna 120 is located between the first antenna 110 and the third antenna, one end of the second extension member can be connected to the end of the third antenna facing the second antenna 120, the other end of the second extension member can extend into the gap 100b between the third antenna and the second antenna 120, and the other end of the second extension member can be electrically connected to the third feeding point (not shown in the figure) on the circuit board 230.

[0126] Since the second antenna 120 is located between the first antenna 110 and the third antenna, a second extension piece is provided, one end of the second extension piece is connected to an end of the third antenna facing the second antenna 120, and the other end of the second extension piece extends into the gap 100b between the third antenna and the second antenna 120 and is electrically connected to the third feeding point on the circuit board 230. In this way, the third antenna and the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 are electrically connected through the second extension piece, so that the feeding connection between the third antenna and the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be realized, so that the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can feed the third antenna well.

[0127] A possible implementation method is: the first antenna 110 is located between the second antenna 120 and the third antenna, one end of the second extension member can be connected to the end of the third antenna facing the first antenna 110, the other end of the second extension member can extend into the gap 100b between the third antenna and the first antenna 110, and the other end of the second extension member can be electrically connected to the third feeding point on the circuit board 230.

[0128] Since the first antenna 110 is located between the second antenna 120 and the third antenna, a second extension piece is provided, one end of the second extension piece is connected to an end of the third antenna facing the first antenna 110, and the other end of the second extension piece extends into the gap 100b between the third antenna and the first antenna 110 and is electrically connected to the third feeding point on the circuit board 230. In this way, the third antenna and the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 are electrically connected through the second extension piece, so that the feeding connection between the third antenna and the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be realized, so that the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can feed the third antenna well.

[0129] At this time, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic component may further include: a third electrical connector (not shown in the figure), wherein the second extension member is electrically connected to the second feeding point through the third electrical connector. Specifically, one end of the third electrical connector may be connected to the second extension member, and the other end of the third electrical connector may be electrically connected to the third feeding point on the circuit board 230, so that the electrical connection between the second extension member and the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be achieved, and then the electrical connection between the third antenna and the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can be achieved, so that the third feeding point on the circuit board 230 can feed the third antenna well.

[0130] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the third feeding point can be a metal spring, a probe or a conductive cable, etc., so that the third antenna can be fed by the metal spring, the probe or the conductive cable, etc. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific formation method of the third feeding point, nor is it limited to the above example, as long as it can play the role of feeding connection.

[0131] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, the number of third feeding points corresponding to the third antenna may be one, two, three or more, that is, the third antenna may be fed through one third feeding point, or the third antenna may be fed through two third feeding points at the same time, or the third antenna may be fed through three third feeding points at the same time, or the third antenna may be fed through more third feeding points at the same time, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0132] In addition, it is understood that in some embodiments, the first feed point, the second feed point, and the third feed point may not interfere with each other at their respective locations on the circuit board 230. For example, the first feed point, the second feed point, and the third feed point may be arranged in sequence along the outer edge of the circuit board 230.

[0133] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of antennas in the electronic component can be more. For example, the at least two antennas can also include: a fourth antenna, a fifth antenna, and a sixth antenna, etc. In the electronic device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by increasing the number of antennas, the antennas in the electronic device 200 can achieve coverage of more antenna modes.

[0134] In addition, it should be noted that the antenna can be a diversity antenna (Div Antenna), a WIFI antenna, a Bluetooth antenna and a GPS antenna, a main antenna (Main Antenna) or a medium-high frequency multiple-input-multiple-output (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, MIMO) antenna, etc.

[0136] Exemplarily, the plastic frame 222a and the metal frame 100 can be connected by non-damage micro-testing technology (Nano Molding Technology, NMT). NMT is generally made by using a treatment agent on the metal surface to make micropores, and then injection molding allows plastic to enter the micropores. Or, in addition to this micropore treatment, it is also possible to open a physical hole on the metal, such as a through hole with a diameter of about 0.8 mm, so that plastic can pass through this hole to realize physical glue pulling. Of course, in some other embodiments, the plastic frame 222a and the metal frame 100 can also be connected by other ways, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise precisely and specifically specified.
